Q: Why can't Docker find my sql file to import? I have a SQL file I'm trying to import into a local docker instance. I'm running the following command:
docker exec -i 868b7935cc37  ../my.file.sql -u {user} --password={password} {dbName}

I'm getting the following error back when I run it:
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "exec: \"../my.file.sql\": stat ../my.file.sql: no such file or directory": unknown
I'm only one directory away from the file, hence the ../ in the command. I spoke with the person who gave me the file and the username, password and name are all correct. None of the names, passwords, etc. contain any special characters.
I feel like I'm right there. I don't know why I'm getting the no such file or directory error.
Any and all help is appreciated!
docker inspect gives me

A: I believe the problem is a misunderstanding of how docker exec works. If you think of your container as a remote machine, and docker exec as a command you run on your local machine that will cause the remote machine to execute some command installed on the remote machine, it may become more clear
Right now it looks like you have a file on your local machine (outside the container) and you're passing it as the command you wish the remote machine(inside the container) to run, but the file is on your local machine, not the remote so even if it could be processed (docker help page says it must be an executable file- is an sql file executable in this context?) the file isn't on the machine that is going to process it.
Calling docker exec and passing a file reference of a file outside the container, doesn't cause the local file to be sent into the container and executed inside
As such, I think you'll have to do something more like
docker cp ../myfile.sql DOCKERCONTAINERNAME:/root/myfile.sql

To copy the file into the container and then something like:
docker exec DOCKERCONTAINERNAME mysqlimporttool -u mysqluser -p pass /root/myfile.sql

To have docker launch the in-container import tool for you and pass the arguments you specified. That tool will start up inside the container, and process the file you copied into the container in the first step

A: You don't need docker exec to interact with servers running in containers.  Just use the ordinary client programs you'd normally use to talk to them.
For instance, if you launched the database container, publishing the normal MySQL port, as as
docker run -p3306:3306 ... mysql

then you could run your script by installing the mysql command-line client, and then running
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 ../my.file.sql -u {user} --password={password} {dbName}

If you've configured your Docker to require root permission to access it (a very reasonable setup) then this has the additional advantage of not requiring sudo just to run it.


Three of our students, Sian Wright, Iqra Ayubi and Marena Ahmadi were invited to attend the Junior Football Leaders training day last week. This was hosted at Wexham School by the Slough School Sport Network and the Berks and Bucks FA. This was an excellent opportunity for the girls to develop their coaching skills and their confidence to lead. The girls had a really enjoyable day and came away from this experience with a better understanding of Leadership.

Nokia's first Windows Phone leaked, codenamed "Sea Ray" (video)
Sure, Nokia's new N9 MeeGo phone is pretty, but what I'm really looking forward to is the company's first Windows Phone 7 device. Now thanks to Nokia CEO Stephen Elop (and the company's lax security), it appears we have our first glimpse.
Nokia showed off the Windows Phone 7 prototype, codenamed "Sea Ray," to an industry crowd earlier this week. He asked attendees not to take pictures or video of the device, but judging from the leaked photos, the company didn't enforce that restriction too well. Additionally, someone has released a video of the announcement to the web (see below).
The device doesn't seem to be all that different from the N9. It sports a similar unibody design, which Nokia said offers improved reception and durability, and the front of the device is dominated by a large, curved touchscreen. It also looks to be running the new Mango version of Windows Phone.
I'm not entirely sure why Nokia didn't show this phone off alongside the N9 — I'm assuming the company didn't want it to steal the N9's thunder. But at this point, Nokia doesn't need to prove itself with its MeeGo operating system. That ship has passed. The company would be better off reminding us that its Windows Phone plans are on track, instead of trying to wow us with a phone that has no future.
Check out a short clip of Elop's announcement below. A longer version of his presentation can be found here.

Aftermath Of A Bloodbath: What The Forensics Team Got From Trampled Crime Scene In Lakhimpur Kheri
Published: 25 Aug 2020, Updated: 25 Aug 2020 3:25 pm
Head of the Forensic Medicine at AIIMS, Dr Sudhir Gupta, and his four-member team of experts have started studying autopsy report of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Having received all the necessary medical papers, including the post-mortem and viscera reports of the late actor, the expert board started the forensic investigation on Tuesday morning.
The panel has been set-up on the request of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is now probing the high-profile case.
Dr Gupta tells Outlook that he has no doubt they will be able to establish the cause of the actor's death conclusively despite the fact that the scene was "badly contaminated". He says they will be looking into the anti-depressants that the actor was believed to be using. He also questions the missing time-stamp on Rajput's autopsy report.
BJP Politicising Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case For Bihar Elections: Nawab Malik
The panel will mainly have to rely on the reports, original photographs from the scene of death, video footage and inquest papers. Dr Gupta will also be visiting Mumbai and talking to those who conducted the autopsy and handled the original scene at Rajput's house.
Dr Gupta is certainly not a novice as far as handling of high-profile cases is concerned, his latest being the Telangana police encounter in which the rape accused were shot dead. His list of difficult cases includes those involving the death of Aarushi Talwar, Sunanda Pushkar, Sheena Bora, Jessica Lal and the Bhanwari Devi case of 2011 in which a minister in then Ashok Gehlot's government in Rajasthan was arrested. He had also examined the Batla House encounter in which he insisted to carry out a simulation test for the first time.

It was Dr Gupta's knowledge of DNA profiling that helped him crack the Bhanwari Devi case and later the Sheena Bora case. Putting together the remains of charred bones to reconstruct Sheena Bora's skeletal and facial profile was perhaps his most challenging case. Dr Gupta's career has also seen its shares of controversies. He had created a flutter when he had claimed in the Sunanda Pushkar case that he had been under pressure to doctor the report. He had finally concluded that the wife of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor had died of poisoning.
Dr Gupta plays down the long list of cases – many of them that made international news – that he has handled. He says it is only because of the virtue of his position as head of forensics experts of the country's premier institute.

She remembered him as she drifted into unconsciousness. In her mind she saw him smiling at her, his eyes whispering silent promises. She felt her lips form a smile… It was as if she was at that moment again. In her sub-consciousness, she felt her hands reached for him. Just as she was about to, the vision faded. Her hands fell at her side.
The next image she saw was what had hurt her and caused her pain. She saw him leaving her alone… in that time when she needed him most. She was calling him again and again… He didn't look her way. What he did was enough to make her insane.
He had caused her so much pain. She'd rather be insane than feel all the hurt he'd given her. Pain filled her heart. She was at lost. After months of loneliness and crying, she did what she thought was the best thing to do… She went to her apartment, took a knife and stabbed herself where it ached.
Tonight was that night… She could feel her life going weaker against each minute that passed. As she closed her eyes to accept what she had given to herself, she heard him speaking… His voice was inaudible, but she can sense that he was afraid. There were even tears from his face, falling to her face.
He was calling her… He was doing everything he can to stop the bleeding. She could hear him now… His words clear but frightened. He was asking her forgiveness. He was asking her to talk to him. She wanted to… She tried to open her mouth to speak but she had no more strength to do so… she heard him cry.


Day trading together with trend investing. That is not day trading for trend investing, but the combination of both for diversification and a better usage of capital. The beauty is in principal that you could use intraday margin and be over night still safe with zero margin.
A second advantage is the possibility to hold a day trade that turned out to be more than good for some days or even switch it into the long-term holding zone.
What are the pitfalls? The biggest issue is probably a psychologic one. Clearly for these two very different trading operations are two different systems necessary. Unless you are going to trade fully automated, it is easy to mix up both trading styles. That is like trying to sit between two chairs and landing in the trading Hades with your bum.
One idea to protect yourself against mixing up trading systems is to mechanize as much as possible. For the short-term horizon the solution could be to use the simplest possible day trading system. Pick the right stock and ride it into the close.
He he, sounds very simple, right? It is not completely mechanic, but is has few and only simplistic trading rules. Part of the automation is to use stop orders for opening and closing the trade. If the stop loss doesn't get touched throughout the session, just sell into the close.
Simple trading system are often astonishingly robust. That is, they mitigate market risks and they are less prone to execution failures, which is the point here.
Trend trading works. That is why almost all systems with simple moving averages, crossings of them, or somewhat more elaborated flavors like exponentially weighted ones work also. But they frequently don't work well enough to be convincing. That is probably the reason why so many give up frustrated, mutate completely to be value investors, and effectively become counter trend traders.
What if you could align your investor's good nose to growth stocks or other potential offering investments, select those that already show a trend and leave the rest to a trading machine that automatically swing trades the trend?
You would have your hands and trading mind free for your real passion, which is day trading… or strolling down the beach.

As an artist, May Lesser (1927-2001) seemed destined to produce works of art relating to the medical field—her father, brother, husband, and three of her four children were doctors. As a child, Lesser would secretly look at her father's anatomy books, admiring the drawings contained within. Lesser received her undergraduate degree in fine arts from the H. Sophie Newcomb College at Tulane University and went on to complete a graduate degree in painting at the University of Alabama. Lesser also studied anthropology at Columbia University and child psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University, after which Lesser moved to California and joined the art department at UCLA. While working in the art department, she turned to the anatomy department in order to learn more about bone and muscle anatomy. Working closely with the anatomy department in classrooms and laboratories, Lesser had the idea of observing and drawing students as they worked, rather than focusing just on anatomical specimens. Dr. Charles Sawyer, an anatomy professor, suggested that Lesser follow a class of students as they progressed through medical school. So, Lesser began observing and capturing the adventures of the UCLA medical school class of 1971. She would sit in lectures, laboratories, and operating rooms, sketching and engraving copper plates as she observed the students and their professors. She would then go back to her studio and print the plates in color. As a result, Lesser produced a different perspective of medical school; by focusing on the people rather than the tools and techniques, she made doctors and their work more human. As Lesser put it, "there is a loveliness in human beings helping another." The etchings produced in this period make up the bulk of the collection of May Lesser's work held at the National Library of Medicine.
In the summer of 2012, I was brought on as an eager, pre-program conservation student volunteer to clean and rehouse this collection of thirty-nine Lesser prints which were donated to the Library in 2011. Working closely with Ginny Roth, the Prints and Photograph (P&P) Curator, and Holly Herro, the Conservation Librarian, I was responsible for removing the prints from the frames and then treating and rehousing them. The prints came to the Library in frames that did not create a stable environment for the works, so my first task was to get the prints out of the frames and assess the condition of the each print. Most of the prints had been attached to support boards with starch and acrylic-based adhesives.
After determining the best course of treatment, I went to work removing the tape carriers and adhesives from the etchings. Wielding a micro-spatula and a jar of methylcellulose, I became proficient at applying the methylcellulose to the starch-based adhesive residue, waiting for about ten minutes, and then carefully removing it.
Naturally, some of the starch-based adhesive left residue on the paper, and this is where I learned the importance of regular, old-fashion spit in conservation practices. One of the natural enzymes in spit is known as amylase, which breaks down starches. With a little bit of spit on the end of a cotton swab, I gently removed the starch-based adhesive residue from the paper.
For the most part the starch-based adhesive was cooperative and cleanly came off of the paper. But, the acrylic adhesive was more stubborn. With the most stubborn acrylic adhesive, I had to employ a heated spatula to remove the carrier, along with a slide-warming tray as a heat source, to swell the adhesive so that it would let go of the paper. Once the prints were cleaned, and after Holly and Ginny approved my work, I created a more stable housing environment for the prints. Using photo corners, I attached the prints to acid-free, lignin-free mat board, placed a piece of pH neutral tissue paper on top of the print, and then placed it into a Mylar sleeve.
These new enclosures create the stable environment for the works of art necessary to keep them in good condition for a long time.
Determined to see the collection processed from beginning to end, I returned to NLM this summer as a student intern in the Pathways program. After adding call numbers to each print, I created catalog records for them, thereby making them available in the Library's online catalog. In addition, I am happy to report that the collection of thirty-nine prints can now be found in the NLM Digital Collections.

The Marquesas Islands
Although no Hollywood celebs call the Marquesas Islands their home, the last cast of Survivor 4 was hunkered down on the biggest of the 12 Marquesas isles, Nuku Hiva.
Although no Hollywood celebs call the Marquesas Islands their home, the cast of Survivor 4 is currently hunkered down on the biggest of the 12 Marquesas isles, Nuku Hiva.
Discovered in 1595 by Spanish explorer Alvero de Mendana, the Marquesas Islands now belong to the colony of French Polynesia. Before being discovered by the Europeans, over 50,000 natives lived on the Marquesas isles. With the arrival of European disease though, 90 percent of the population was wiped out. Today only 7,000 natives live on the six livable islands. The Marquesas islands are often hit by cyclones in the month of January and were hit by the great Aleutian tsunami on April 1, 1946, which brought 30 foot waves crashing down on them.
Cool Things to See and Do
Horseback Riding: Follow the many Marquesas island trails and gallop over the pristine sand on horseback.
Deep Sea Fishing/Diving: There are tons of colorful fish and other exotic marine animals to be seen not far off the coast of the Marquesas islands.
Archeological Digs: You can find an ancient Tiki statue of your very own or maybe long lost jewelry or weapons. (Of course, you aren't allowed to keep 'em.)
Geography: The Marquesas islands lie in the southern Pacific, far west of Australia. Nuku Hiva, is the largest of the Marquesas Islands at 127 square miles (330 square km). The climate is tropical, with the temperature only changing about five degrees the whole year. That means the average yearly temperature is about 81F (27C).
Tiki Power: Although most of the people of Marquesas converted to Christianity in the 1830's, remnants of the old religion can still be found. Tikis, statues carved out of stone or bone, are representations of gods or ancestors. When a person sculpted a Tiki, they called the spirit of a god or ancestor into the statue and asked for its good favor.
Original Body Art: Tattoos became an important part of Marquesan culture long before the trend caught on in North America. Tattoos were seen as a sign of wealth, strength and the ability to endure pain.

Public Gathering
Posts by Gunstar1

Re: Pubic Gathering-How many of you ignore this?
Doc Holliday said:
I have been carrying into malls, Walmart, grocery stores etc.-places with more than 15 people.
Well first a mall, walmart, grocery stores etc... None of those places are a public gathering.
There is no 15 people rule. The best example you can go by is this:
State v. Burns, 200 Ga. App. 16 (1991). It is only two paragraphs, so here it is in full.
Appellee was arrested at a McDonald's restaurant for the offense of carrying a concealed weapon (OCGA § 16-11-126); however, the State did not pursue the charge upon discovering that appellee had a valid gun permit. Instead, he was charged with carrying a deadly weapon to a public gathering (OCGA § 16-11-127). The trial court granted appellee's motion to dismiss the accusation, stating that McDonald's was not a public gathering as contemplated under the statute, and the State appealed.
OCGA § 16-11-127(b) provides that a "public gathering" includes but is not limited to "athletic or sporting events, schools or school functions, churches or church functions, political rallies or functions, publicly owned or operated buildings, or establishments at which alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises." The State argues that the statute seeks to protect people from injury at public gatherings, caused by others who bring deadly weapons to such places and does not exclude an establishment such as McDonald's, which is a place where the public lawfully gathers. However, this broad interpretation equates "public gathering" to "public place" and blurs the distinction we must assume the legislature intended to make in specifically referring to gatherings in OCGA § 16-11-127 and by limiting its restriction to gatherings as opposed to proscribing the carrying of deadly weapons in public places as defined by OCGA § 16-1-3(15). We agree with appellee that such a construction would render licensing statutes unnecessary because of the potential of violating the statutes by carrying a weapon outside one's household, in public, where the possibility exists that people might gather around someone carrying a weapon. We have held that a conviction was authorized when a weapon was brought to a place where "people were present" (Jordan v. State, 166 Ga.App. 417(4), 304 S.E.2d 522 (1983)), and it appears from reading subsection (b) and giving the words their ordinary meaning that the statute should apply, in addition to the situations described therein, when people are gathered or will be gathered for a particular function and not when a weapon is carried lawfully to a public place, where people may gather. Accordingly, the focus is not on the "place" but on the "gathering" of people, and in our view, the court did not err in dismissing the accusation because appellee's possession of a weapon and mere presence in a public place did not constitute a violation of OCGA § 16- 11-127.
Making good people helpless won't make bad people harmless.

Neither WalMart nor the mall nor grocery stores are "public gatherings," unless people are gathered or will gather for a particular function.
Or, if it's a really cool grocery store that sells shots of tequila at the checkout stand.
You are thinking of Mexico and other South American countries. Candy bar or a shot of good tequila... or BOTH!!!
My dad said that was it was a great shopping experience, my mom went store to store looking at shirts and gifts, my dad went along store to store tasting the tequila. 8)
GS1's ma and pa shopping----> :drink:

Nah, pa can handle his liquor. That would be ma on the right falling over.

Wasn't the original intent of public gatherings to mean things like outdoor festivals, free public concerts?
If you mean keeping black people from carrying, then yes.

DH: Yeah, I'm totally OCD. Not clinically, but probably pretty close. I've a habit of going through my drawers, probably once every two weeks, and putting together a huge bag of clothes, when i then decide to use a resale store called Crossroads, or Buffalo Exchange in La. I sell my clothes and with whatever money they give me, Time passes and any whole couple of new items. I don't really shop at the mall or buy anything new. I'm a huge clothes recycler. Plus, I don't like to must much, instead just a sufficient quantity of. I hate not capable to find stuff. I made use of to do a lot of laundry and wonder why I had all those clothes, therefore it got me in the habit of smoking of removing of a lot of stuff. I definitely hate clutter.

I've gone back to the 109 K-4 after trying out the Dora for dogfighting scenarios, since I can't seem to hit anything with those double 20-mm cannon. With convergence of both MG and cannon set to 200 meters I have a hard time scoring hits on deflection shots and it's hard to tell when my aim has been effective. With the K-4 there's never any doubt that your aim has been good and no worrying about convergence! But I'd love to fly the Dora more and practice some, if only to admire her in external views...what a beauty!
Deflection shooting is hard on all fw-190, because of the poor gunsight view blocking the view.. once you get used to it, you sometimes score hits with a hunch..
Nevertheless I consider FW-190 now much superior to the 109..


Yep, We coach surfing too!
This is our primary summer program that we have been running for the last 14 years.
Program Duration: May 15 - July 25. Our summer season runs until high school programs start the beginning of August.
Practices: Our schedule is different in May because everyone is still in school. Our schedule changes on May 27.
Tournaments: There are tournaments every Friday night and every weekend. We go out of town for several events, so you can pick and choose which events you and your partner want to play in.
Partners: Players choose their own partners, so players that register with a partner can play with that person. Players that come in as an individual we can help match up with a partner based on their skill level and what events they can play in. Coaches will help players find an appropriate partner, but it is up to you to secure a partner for each tournament.
Cost: The cost is $935 for the summer. Players from previous seasons who keep their backpack and ball and top receive a $135 credit, making the cost $800 for returning players.
There is a $50 registration fee (early registration, $70 after May 1) for tryouts and registration opens in April. We will have to cut some girls from some age groups, but we offer an alternative for those players. They will be able to practice on Sundays for two weeks, then once school is out they will be able to practice in our regular group on the schedule above. Being a beginner never hurts you, we are looking for athletic ability over experience. We never cut 12U players as long as they can overhand serve consistently over the net.
Spring is our favorite season. Some of our players play beach full time instead of club so they can focus on getting a scholarship for beach volleyball. Some players want to do both, but start beach before the summer season. This group of players will begin training in February as soon as it warms up. This is a critical program for our top players and we are always anxious to get out and start preparing for the Summer tournaments.
Practices: Our practice times will depend on the age group.
If you have a conflict on one of these days, just email us about it. We may be able to work around it.
Partners: You will NOT need a partner for this program. We will train all the girls as individuals and then help them pair up for the out of town tournaments. It will always be your choice who you play with in tournaments.
Cost: The cost is $935 for the regular season. Players from previous seasons who keep their backpack, ball, and 2017 lululemon top can receive a $135 credit, making the cost $800.
Tryouts: TRYOUT IS FROM 2:30-4:30 FOR 18U AND 16U, 5:30-7:30 FOR 14U AND 12U. There is a $50 registration fee (early registration) for Spring and Summer. Registration opens in January. Tryouts for our NATIONAL TEAM and TRAINING TEAM (TEAMs) are on Thursday, February 21 and Friday, February 22 from 5:00-7:00. There is $50 tryout fee for our TEAMs tryout which covers our expenses for that Friday. We only have ONE tryout each year for our National Team and Training Team and it is in the Spring.
We have a limited amount of spots for Spring Season and we hope to be able to accommodate everyone that wants to play, but we will never cut 12U players as long as they can consistently overhand serve over the net.
Group 1: National Team players that receive automatic spots.
Group 2: Training Team players that are selected to compete for the remaining few National Team spots. This is done in a Queen of the Beach tournament format on February 23. The winners are offered spots on our 2019 National Team, the remaining players are on our 2019 Training Team. These players that do not earn spots on the National Team are alternates and could be moved up later in the season if a spot opens.
Group 3: Training Team players that receive automatic spots.
Group 4: Players that are selected to compete for the remaining Training Team spots. This is done in a Queen of the Beach tournament format on February 23.
The National Team and Training Team each consist of approximately 24 girls and the tryout is open to any high school age freshman (or older) currently participating in our spring season. Training Team spots are open to eighth graders.
- Girls who make our TEAMs commit to playing in the Spring AND Summer sessions. We only host ONE tryout each year.
- Partners for players on the National Team are chosen in June by the 692 coaching staff (with a lot of input from the players). Our goal is to prepare our National Team for playing beach volleyball in college and this helps prepare them for how college programs function. We allow the players to choose their own partners during the spring season (although we encourage them to try out certain matchups). We assign partners in June for June-July.
- There is an additional fee of $2500 for girls selected to the National Team and $2000 for the Training Team. This fee covers the Summer club fees, the additional practice day for Spring and Summer, the additional equipment that the TEAM's girls receive, and a $500 deposit for the Beach Camp for the national Team in July (the balance of the National Camp is $300 and it is due on June 1). This fee can be made in three payments due February 23/March 23/April 23.
- All National Team players attend our Beach Camp in July. We also get BVCA bids for our National Team players and give any remaining bids to our Training Team.
Winter is a great season to get introduced to beach volleyball and prepare for our competitive season in Spring and Summer. Our National Team and Training Team tryout is at the beginning of Spring and Winter season is the last chance to prepare for those tryouts. Of course the big question is the weather. What are we going to do if it gets cold? We are going to handle it by cancelling any practice below a certain temperature. Those practices will not be made up. Instead, we will credit everyone at the end of the season for any practices that were cancelled. That way you are only paying for the practices we have. This credit can be applied toward the 2019 Spring OR Summer session.
Program Duration: This program will begin on November 11 and run through February 7, taking off December 25-January 1. This will give us 23 practices for the full winter season.
Tournaments: We play in two out of state events for Winter Season and will host a college clinic with UCLA head coach, Stein Metzger.
Partners: This is an individual training program, so you don't need a partner. We are emphasizing training girls as individual players in the Winter. Learning to play with different people is very important and we are going to use the Winter season to work on that, since teams are not in a competition season. We will help girls find partners for tournaments.
Cost: The cost is $700 for the Winter. This will include a shirt, but no other equipment.
Tryouts: There are no tryouts, anyone is welcome to participate. Our registration will take place on Sunday, November 11 at 9:00am. The Winter Season would be a great time to introduce you to our program if you have never played for 692 or a great time to start preparing for our National Team tryout in February!
Our practices are located at The Strand, located on 150 Continental Drive, Lewisville 75067.
This season is a great opportunity to get introduced into our program, or to get ahead and start preparing for our national team and training team tryouts in Spring.
Tournaments: We have two trips planned for Fall Season, and several local tournaments, but our schedule is not posted yet.
Partners: This is an individual training program. We are emphasizing training girls as individual players in the Fall. Learning to play with different people is very important and we are going to use the Fall season to work on that, since teams are not preparing for any important tournaments.
Cost: The cost is $825 for the Fall. The reduced season that only practices on Sunday will cost $525. Players from previous seasons who keep their ball receive a $25 credit, making the cost $800 for returning players, or $500 for Sundays only.
Tryouts: There are no tryouts, anyone is welcome to participate. We typically have plenty of space available. If we have a large group on Sundays, we may need to add a second time slot at 3:30-5:30. Our registration will take place on August 12 at 1:00. The Fall Season would be a great time to introduce you to our program if you have never played for 692.


Above map illustrates the realm of the Achaemenian dynasty. Click image to enlarge.
The Achaemenian dynasty was a royal family that ruled over Persia and, beginning with Cyrus the Great, also over Media.
The Achaemenian dynasty was named after Achaemenes. Some also call it the Achaemenid dynasty.
In the Persian language, Achaemenes's name is Hakhamanish.
Achaemenes lived sometime during the 7th century B.C.
Who Was the Founder of the Achaemenian Dynasty?
Interestingly, historians don't care too much about Achaemenes himself and rather point to the year 559 B.C. as the beginning of the Achaemenian dynasty. Why is that?
Because in 559 B.C., Cyrus II the Great, who was the great-grandson of Achaemenes, became king and established the huge Persian Empire.
Hence, some regard Cyrus the Great as the official founder of the Achaemenian dynasty.
Yet others name Cyrus' son, Cambyses II, as the founder of the Achaemenian dynasty.
Pasargadae, Persepolis, and Susa (some spell it Shushan) were the capitals of the Persian Empire. You can find these cities on this map.
Pasargadae was the first capital. Later, Darius I, Xerxes I, and others built the new capital at Persepolis, which was close to Pasargadae. Darius I built an impressive palace at Susa, which became eventually the capital.
Alexander the Great made Darius III the last ruler of the Achaemenian dynasty.

Meet Obama's Karl Rove
With anti-incumbent sentiment swirling and the GOP heavily favored this fall, White House political director Patrick Gaspard has his hands full. Dayo Olopade on how he does Rove's job.

The anti-incumbent wave in American politics has made looking for votes this fall like looking for water in the Arizona desert. The word from voters in Utah—where Republican Senator Bob Bennett lost his bid for renomination, and West Virginia, where on Tuesday Democratic House member Alan Mollohan was bounced after 30 years of service—has bathed the capital in a mood of grim resignation about the electoral fights ahead. In Manhattan Thursday, President Barack Obama will hold a glitzy pep rally of sorts for Democrats trying to weather the storm. Those anxious about their chances this fall should keep their eyes backstage, where the publicity-shy Patrick Gaspard, the veteran New York organizer and political director for the White House, will be pondering which races are worth the fight.
In West Virginia, Mollohan got virtually no assistance from the executive branch or the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for his bid ("The races will be won and lost campaign by campaign," says the White House). Senator Arlen Specter, the Democratic convert in deep trouble in his Pennsylvania primary next week, merited a brief solidarity television ad with Obama, and no more.
"He's a sounding board for the president whenever something is happening," says the DNC organizer. "And he's just never rattled."
But Gaspard, a "smooth operator," according to one DNC political organizer, is not shy about wading into a fight. In 2009, he famously leaned on New York Governor David Paterson to abandon plans to run for election this fall, imparting word in no uncertain terms that the White House had lost confidence in his ability to win. Paterson rebuffed him, only to be forced to drop his campaign amid a hail of negative publicity in February. (There are no hard feelings, a close friend of the governor told The Daily Beast.)
Just before Election Day 2009, Republican Dede Scozzafava, trailing in the polls in a three-way special election campaign in New York's 23rd District, dropped out—frustrated over the national GOP support that flowed to Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman. Democrat Bill Owens was adrift in the polls. Gaspard phoned Scozzafava—and within 24 hours, she endorsed the Democrat. Gaspard "was terrific," says Dan Cantor, executive director of New York's progressive Working Families Party, who has known Gaspard for many years. "And we won."
Heading into November, Gaspard will oversee where and how the administration throws its weight around. Naturally, the Obama White House is not lacking in political opinions. David Axelrod, the lugubrious keeper of the Obama message, David Plouffe, the baby-faced campaign manager turned voice of Organizing for America, and Rahm Emanuel, who perfected his belligerence as 2006 chairman of the DCCC, all have outsize political footprints. The president himself told Gaspard during campaign season: "I'm going to think I'm a better political director than my political director."
Nevertheless, Gaspard, who holds the job occupied most recently by Karl Rove, is one of the most powerful men in American politics. His team, along with deputy chief of staff Jim Messina and senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, handles most of the incoming pleas from the numerous candidates and constituencies in search of political TLC. "He builds relationships; he puts out fires; he identifies fires when they're about to start; he's a sounding board for the president whenever something is happening," says the DNC organizer, who has worked with Gaspard on events and messaging. "And he's just never rattled."
For 10 years as executive vice president of the influential Service Employees International Union's 1199 chapter, Gaspard taught a master class in influence within New York City. "There is no political office in New York that did not feel his impact, and many of them owe their careers to him," says one organizer affiliated with a progressive labor party. His circle of allies range from New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to key SEIU health-care broker Dennis Rivera, to Joe Bruno—the Republican former head of the New York State Senate recently convicted of fraud.
Since his early days working for candidates like Jesse Jackson and David Dinkins, and organizing protests in the wake of the 1999 Amadou Diallo shooting, Gaspard has been deemed a "liberal creep" by conservative Michelle Malkin for his ties to the now-defunct ACORN operation. He's also built a reputation as a "lethal," "bulldoggish" organizer. "His forte was getting feet on the ground and working at the grassroots—for or against you," says Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York. "You wanted Patrick on your side."
So, too, did candidate Obama. After months of trying, he recruited Gaspard in August 2008, both as a link to the labor movement and to what had been Hillary Clinton's home turf. Obama appreciated Gaspard's loyalty to SEIU (he recently turned down a plum job there to remain in government), his commitment to organizing, and his comparatively exotic family history—Gaspard was born in then-Zaire to Haitian expatriates. And like Obama, he builds easy bridges to different demographics. "People can relate to him, old and young," says Meeks. The 41-year-old organizer "understands civil rights and he understands hip-hop."
The transition to Washington has had its hiccups—notably the special Senate election loss in Massachusetts that almost derailed the president's plan for health-care reform. Two days before the vote, it was clear candidate Martha Coakley was doomed. Everyone around Gaspard, from the DNC aides dispatched in a last-ditch canvassing effort, to the Organizing for America volunteers flooding the state with phone calls, knew it. At the time, Gaspard was "totally overwhelmed," says a former aide, by a professional and personal crisis: A 7.3-magnitude earthquake had leveled his parents' place of birth. Still managing the dual disasters, Gaspard boarded Air Force One to Boston, and stood dutifully behind the scenes as his boss went through the motions of trying to recreate the booming, hopeful rallies they'd staged during the 2008 campaign.
The high-profile flameout was precisely the type of political failure that Obama brought Gaspard to Washington to prevent. All parties, from the White House to the Coakley campaign, have insisted that the lesson has been learned. Lynda Tran, who arrived at the DNC in the wake of the Massachusetts debacle, says that major loss "has informed the 2010 plan, and certainly we're more aware that things move quickly and that we have to respond much earlier."
But is Gaspard prepared for a dozen disasters at once? It's only primary season, and the landscape heading into November is chaotic, to say the least: Democratic candidates on the ropes are leery of Obama's embrace; and the White House has struggled to tamp down expensive infighting that could damage the party's chances in November. In Hawaii, for example, two Democrats refused to back down from a special election primary. Some $314,000 later, the DCCC pulled out of the race in a huff—likely handing the congressional seat to a Republican. A similar dynamic exists between Specter and liberal congressman Joe Sestak, Senator Blanche Lincoln and Arkansas Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter, and Ohio Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner—leaving campaign committees, the DNC, and the White House in a bind as to who merits support.
Gaspard is responsible for gathering intelligence, making peace and doling out tough love. But he is also responsible for winning—which could be difficult if summer 2010 unfolds like the last one. Then, a hurricane of town halls protesting health-care reform shocked members of Congress, and turned the tables on the White House supposedly driven by community organizing. This summer, Organizing for America is trying to replicate the basic organizing structures that worked for the Obama campaign with a June 5 day of door-knocking action. Gaspard will remain heavily involved in the support of White House-sanctioned candidates in primaries and in the general election.
Gaspard may have inherited Rove's brief (Jarrett has his office)—but he's Rove's stylistic opposite. "He's not someone that's going to put his name behind any given decision or choice of candidate or forcing out of candidate," according to a White House staffer who worked extensively on health-care messaging in 2009. Then again, he has a few things in common with the man President Bush called "The Architect." While campaigning for Ruth Messinger, the former Manhattan Borough president who challenged Rudy Giuliani in 1997, Gaspard impressed her as having "a smart sense of not just looking at a poll," says Messinger, "but thinking about a deeper and more thoughtful level about how might you change minds."

Important decision taken on the Dasu Hydropower Project
ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly's Standing Committee on Water Resources on Tuesday was informed that the Executive Committee of National Economic Council (ECNEC) has approved the revised land acquisition cost for Dasu Hydropower Project worth Rs37 billion.

Heed the Stone's Warning...
There is a stone monument set up on a hillside near the village of Aneyoshi in the Iwate Prefecture in Japan. The monument is old. It was set up a long time ago. A message is carved on the weathered and worn face of the stone. It says, "Do not build your homes below this point." Flat stone monuments like this, some as tall as ten feet, are reportedly a common sight in the northeast area of Japan. They have different messages. The one in Aneyoshi is the only one that specifically directs people where to build houses. Mr. Kimura, the leader of the village, says no one in the village would ever dare break the rule of the stone. The inhabitants of the small village heeded the warning and built their homes higher up the slope. The recent tsunami reached a height of 127 feet in that area. But the water stayed below the level of the monument, and as a result the homes and the people of the village were safe.
Many of the stone monuments in that part of Japan, while not having exactly the message of the one at Aneyoshi, warn of the dangers of tsunamis. Unfortunately, local scholars say, all too often the warnings go unheeded. With the huge economic growth Japan has experienced since World War II people have ignored the danger of tsunamis and towns have grown ever closer to the coast. Towns which once were situated on higher ground farther inland gradually moved closer to the water. Though often for different reasons, what has happened here also happens there. Proximity to the ocean becomes prime real estate. People either forgot or disregarded the warnings that past generations of Japanese people set up. They moved closer to the water, and they died there. The result, as we all know, has been tragic.
I was reading the story of Solomon in 1 Kings this week. Solomon got off to a great start as the king of Israel. God offered to give him anything he wanted, and he asked for wisdom so he could rule his people well. Great answer. God highly approved. Then the new king set about building a temple to honor God, another godly and good action. Solomon's prayer when he dedicated the temple, which is recorded in 1 Kings 8:22-53, was terrific. God's response in 1 Kings 9:4-5 was "If you walk before me in integrity of heart and uprightness, as David your father did, and do all I command and observe my decrees and laws, I will establish your royal throne forever." He then warned that if Solomon were to "go off to serve other gods and worship them, then I will cut off Israel from the land." That was a stone monument standing in the open for all to see. Build above this monument and you'll be fine, build below it and you will be swept away. Solomon, walk in integrity and obey the Lord the way your father did and I will establish your throne forever. But disobey and start worshiping dumb idols and you will regret it.
I suppose it is because I know how the story goes that I feel this, but even as I read of those early years of Solomon's life and reign there is a sense of foreboding. There is almost a tragic inevitability about what follows. Chapter 11 opens with the statement, "King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women." The word "however" tells you this is a hinge on which Solomon's life turned. Up to this point it had all been positive. He did what God told him to do, he pursued the right things and was highly successful. Then comes "however." Solomon read the message on the stone monument then turned away and said, "That's dumb. I know better. I'll build my house wherever I feel like." 1 Kings 11:2 says of the foreign women Solomon loved, "They were from nations about which the Lord had told the Israelites, 'You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.' Nevertheless Solomon held fast to them in love."
Solomon was a smart guy. He knew it. Everyone knew it. Unfortunately he started to believe his own press clippings. He decided he was smarter than God. He didn't have to pay attention to the warning message that he had been given. God had warned that if he married those women they would "surely" turn his heart away from the one true God. Sure enough, the tsunami came and wiped him out. Verse 4 says his wives "turned his heart after other gods and his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord his God." The son of the king who was a man "after God's own heart" failed to heed the message on the stone. Verse 6 says "Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord." And of course, he reaped the consequences just as God warned.
In a recent conversation with a bright, successful young Christian I got this sense that this individual is looking at the stone and saying, "Nah, I don't think I have to pay attention to that. I'm going to build my house in the place that makes sense to me." The stone of God's Word has been set up for all to see, but this person, while not in outright rebellion, is pretty sure as he looks at the message that he knows better. Solomon's problem was that he looked around and saw what everybody else did. Other kings took lots of wives from other nations not only to satisfy their desires but to establish political alliances. Everybody did it and it seemed to work. Solomon decided that what everybody did and everybody thought made more sense than God's absurdly narrow way. "Marry only one woman? Get real! Only marry Israeli women? How bigoted can you be? There's nothing wrong with those Ammonite women. In fact they are lovely. Yeah, God's idea is old fashioned. It just doesn't make sense. It makes him seem hateful toward other people."
There is a significant tendency in our society today for Christians to neglect the message on the stone. It is so easy to adopt the thinking of our world and to view what God's Word says as archaic and irrelevant. It needs to be understood in terms of our modern culture, which is another way of saying rejected in favor of the current groupthink. I need to remember that the stone has been there a long time and was set up for a reason. I need to not just read its message but to listen. Failure to do so will surely result in another disaster, this one in my own life. There's a message here for me, a message to pay attention when God speaks. I want to never forget the lesson of the stone monument, and I pray that many in our culture who are now starting to ignore the message in favor of the world's "wisdom" will wake up before it is too late.
