ZIEGLER UK LTD IS LATEST BUSINESS TO LOCATE AT DP WORLD LONDON GATEWAY
Ziegler UK Ltd., an international transport and logistics specialist, has signed a lease on an ambient warehouse at DP World London Gateway Logistics Park
The company's UK head office will be sited at the 95,000 sq ft logistics facility, integrated with DP World London Gateway's port to ensure a more flexible, reliable and sustainable supply chain
The facility will be handed over for occupation in April 2020.
Ziegler UK Ltd., a growing, multi-modal logistics company, has taken a long-term lease on an ambient distribution facility at DP World London Gateway Logistics Park.
The 95,000 sq ft warehouse will be the location for its London-centric logistics hub, handling import and export consignments, and will serve as home to its UK headquarters.
Ziegler UK Ltd. will offer its customers a range of value-added services from the site, facilitating customs processes, deconsolidation of goods and providing an all-encompassing supply chain service that matches ever-evolving global market demands.
The move represents further growth for the global transport company, which already operates multiple sites in 15 countries, making it possible to offer a responsive and flexible local service across all aspects of the supply chain.
The decision to locate at DP World London Gateway's trade enabling hub - a state-of-the art port and rail terminal on the same site as a landbank for the development of warehousing - will maximise Ziegler's customers' true cost-to-serve and drive a more agile and reliable supply chain.
The onward distribution centre will handle a wide range of products arriving at DP World London Gateway Port from a number of countries around the world, facilitating flow management right to their final location.
Lee Marshall, Managing Director of Ziegler UK Ltd., said: "We're committed to meeting our customers' expectations at a local and regional level by offering the most responsive, agile and reliable logistics service from factory to point of sale.
"Our newest facility at DP World London Gateway's Logistics Park is in an unrivalled location, not only right beside DP World's state-of-the-art deep sea port and rail network, but in close proximity to London, the South East and all major access roads. This will allow us to continue to facilitate the fast, global flow of goods and save our clients' money, while also ensuring a more sustainable supply chain that reduces carbon emissions and protects the environment.
"The best in class building will provide a range of bespoke customer solutions including value-added services, from bespoke packaging to customs related formalities and fiscal representation, providing, as always, a personalised service for our clients."
The new centre - designed to suit Ziegler UK Ltd.'s exact requirements - is being built by Readie Construction. Work has started and the facility will be handed over for occupation in April 2020.
Planning consent was achieved just 24 days after submission thanks to an enterprising Local Development Order, which enables Thurrock Council to give developments the go-ahead within 28 days as long as the application meets set criteria.
Oliver Treneman, Park Development Director, DP World London Gateway said: "I am delighted to welcome Ziegler UK Ltd. to our growing logistics hub. I am confident that by bringing together different parts of the supply chain in one location, this forward-thinking organisation will be able to surpass the needs and expectations of its clients.
"Ziegler UK Ltd. is the latest business to recognise the value of this location and its ability to drive business growth by ensuring the fastest, most reliable transit of goods across the globe for its customers.
"Occupying a port-centric position will significantly reduce truck miles, reducing container inbound and repositioning costs as well as lowering the impact of carbon emissions on the environment."
Ziegler UK Ltd., an international transport and logistics specialist, has signed a lease on an ambient warehouse at DP World London Gateway's Logistics Park, located on the same site as its deep-sea port and rail terminal.


The HR data source, that I currently receive person data from, has historically had data quality issues. These are much better than they were in the past, but still cause a few issues.
When I attended FIM training at OCG, I raised the issue of data cleanliness and was told in simple terms – make sure the input data is clean! If only life was so simple…..
Back to reality, I have had to add code to my Advanced Flows to deal with, clean up and validate the input data.
Things like this remind me of why "Codeless Provisioning" was something I fought to get working (for too long), but ultimately had to abandon in favour of using code for almost everything. Doing so has been a real panacea for all of the rules and other funnies that I have had to accommodate.
Note: I made a little edit – I was not checking for the presence of AccountName before raising errors – should that attribute have been missing (highly unlikely, but not unknown to occur), that would have raised an error in itself. The edited code is a little more robust!

Pink wants new mums to stop feeling pressurised to lose weight after they've given birth.
The 37-year-old, who welcomed her second child Jameson on 26 December, shared a selfie of herself working out in the gym.
She told fans she weighs 160 pounds (72kg) at 5'3", writing on the photo on 2 April: "By 'regular standards' that makes me obese.
She used the hashtags #feelingmyself #strongismygoal and #bodygoals.
Mums were comforted by the fact Pink wasn't putting pressure on herself and her post-baby body.
Another commented: "You have no idea how much I needed to see this today. I'm battling with the numbers after giving birth to baby number three.
The singer has resonated with new mums previously by calling herself "completely normal" for having not lost weight six weeks after giving birth.
As well as baby Jameson, Pink is also mum to five-year-old Willow with her husband Carey Hart.

Q: How to show a portion of next screen in previous one in react -navigation? I am creating tabs in my app using react-navigation by createTabNavigator.
What I want to do is how can I show a portion of next screen in tab in the current screen. The Idea is to show the user that there exist another view

What I have already done is that everything except the for showing the next screen in current one, is there any prop or option that will allow me to shrink down the page container?

A: This is not possible with react-navigation.
Try using a carousel library like react-native-snap-carousel (https://github.com/archriss/react-native-snap-carousel). As you can see in their showcase apps, this library does exactly what you want.

Only 2 days for Holly Bloggy Christmas! On Wednesday we shared Christmas Crafts at Just Sew Sassy, and for day 4 we are sharing our Christmas Decor at Shabby Creek Cottage. And then on Friday I'll be hosting a Christmas Edition of my Friday Favorites Party!
For my decor, I like things that are bright and colorful, and I like to create an elaborate display using simple and inexpensive things like Christmas Balls and Cone Trees from the Dollar Tree, as well as Christmas Wreaths and arrangements.
The center of the display consists of a ball wreath and some rainbow garland. Then the shelf is covered is some snowflake fabric, and on top of it is a "colored mirror tree," two glasses of colored balls, and two green-sequin trees, and more rainbow garland.
Besides the wreath, one of my favorite parts of this display are the vintage trees on each side. My mom gave me these a while back, and as much as I liked them, I had no idea what I'd do with them. But as I started working on my display, I knew these balls would be a perfect addition to these little trees and the display!
Each year I hang our stockings from my display case in our living room. As you can see we have a couple of "Good Cats" for Santa to visit!
And then each year I've done something different to the top. This year I added a green runner, some red and gold trees (all were dollar store finds), and a flower arrangement. And the red and white "garland" up top is actually two garland-candy canes!
Moving on to the kitchen…I have to admit I really didn't do much in the kitchen this year, and I definitely didn't do anything new, so I'm going to cheat a little bit, and just share a few of my photos from last year,since it's the same stuff.
Everyone always seems to love my little kitchen tree filled with cute little utensils. It's probably the most unique part of my tour each year!
And once again this year, I added my little Christmas countdown and some cute cards to the fridge.
And finally here's our tree featuring a combination of Mouse ornaments, Candy Ornaments, and a rainbow of colors!
Hope you enjoyed my tour!! Please come back here and link up all your Christmas ideas for Friday Favorites.

Thursday is Day 4 of Holly Bloggy Christmas, which means it's time to share our Christmas Recipes! For me, one of the best things about the Christmas season is the food! I always enjoy munching on my traditional favorites and finding new favorites as well!
For the last few years I've been making Christmas candy boxes for neighbors and close family members. For my gift boxes, I always try to include 3 or 4 different things. I always include my absolute favorite Chess Bars, and then I try to do some type of candy ball or cluster, and then some kind of cookie.
Today I'll be sharing recipes for the 3 treats that I gave away last year: Devil's Food Cookies, Chess Bars, and Peanut Butter Krispy Balls. Hope you enjoy them!
Directions: For cake – Mix together the cake mix, eggs, and margarine. Press into a 9×13 inch pan. For icing, cream together cream cheese, margarine, eggs, and sugar. Pour over cake mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. (It should come out lightly browned and gooey.) Cut into squares and enjoy!
Directions: Bring Karo syrup and sugar to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until dissolved. Slowly mix in cereal. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto waxed paper. Then mold into balls.
Tip – You can also spoon the mixture into a 9×13 dish if you prefer to serve these as bars.
And if you'd like to know what's going in the boxes this year, check these out!
Place these treats in cute box or bag, and you've got a yummy Christmas gift!

Here's the continuation of my home tour for the Decor Party at Shabby Chic Cottage.
By the way, don't forget to stop back by my blog tomorrow for a Christmas Recipe Party!
For this part of the tour, we start with the fridge, which is topped off by my little kitchen tree. Last year it seemed to be everyone's favorite thing in my home tour (and my fave too), so it makes a return this year!
I added some cards to the fridge just to give it some color. And I bought the Christmas Countdown Sign at the Dollar Tree last year for 50% off. I added some magnets with a little hot glue, and it was perfect for the fridge.
This is one of my favorite displays for this year. I had the cake place and the balls in cups last year. Then I got the rainbow at the Dollar Tree (again for 50% off). I had no idea what I'd do with the rainbow tree, until I found these adorable cupcake ornaments at K-Mart a couple of weeks ago.
I used this rainbow garland above all the cabinets in the kitchen.
A bunch of different plates, figurines, etc. always seem to find there way on the counter this time of year.
The Christmas Tree Plate is one of my favorite pieces. Hubby bought it for me from Cracker Barrel.
The tour wouldn't be complete without a picture of my Mouse Tree!
And here's the dining rom table. It's the same tablecloth from last year, but the I added a bunch of stuff to the center.
More balls in cups and cone trees! And if you check out my Christmas Craft post from yesterday you can see how I created the sign.
And that's it for the kitchen. If you haven't seen the living room tour, please check that out too. And don't forget to come back here tomorrow for the Christmas Recipe Party!
Also, linking up at these parties.
Wednesday is Day 3 of the Holly Bloggy Event, and we're sharing decorations and Home Tours. Be sure to go over to The Shabby Chic Cottage to share yours! Also, come back here to Simply Sweet Home tomorrow for a Christmas Recipe Party!
I had a lot of stuff I wanted to share for this year, so I've actually decided to divide my tour up into two posts. There will be one for the living room and one for the kitchen/dining room.
First I wanted to share this cute Teddy Bear set. I got these at Hallmark a few years ago but I've never actually gotten them out till now. They were made to commemorate the100th birthday of the teddy bear.
These are more Hallmark creations. I put these near our front door so they can give our guests a warm welcome.
If you visit regularly, you've already seen this wreath. I have it hanging on the door of our coat closet.
Happily I got 2 new cat stockings on sale last year after Christmas at Cracker Barrel. I also got the candy canes for half price at Dollar Tree!
One of my favorite things as of late is the fabric I used to cover the coffee table.
Back to the "treasure cabinet." I decided to share my Rudolph figurines. This is my third year to do a home tour on my blog, and I don't think I've ever shared them. My best friend from elementary to high school bought me these several years ago because it was always one of my favorite movies!
Last in this room is the snow buddies and snowman candle set.
I especially love this candle set. I always love blue and silver together!
Please check out my Kitchen Tour—coming up next!
Don't forget to link up your decor at The Shabby Chic Cottage. I'm also linking up at parties.
Today we are sharing Christmas Crafts for the Holly Bloggy Christmas. You can link up your project with Nicholette and Vanessa at Craft Envy.
So after going through a few ideas in my head, I came up with this idea that resulted in the piece of art that you see here. In my tutorial, you'll see how I created this temporary piece of art with my favorite office supply (tape), but I'll also give you some instructions to help you create a more permanent (and I would also say, a bit more conventional) piece of Christmas art!
Step 1 – Find a piece of art to cover. This may be something that's already in your house, which you will cover temporarily. Or you can find something to cover permanently. A picture frame or old piece of art that you don't want would be great. And you can always find something cheap to use from the thrift store. It doesn't matter what it looks like because you are going to cover it anyway.
Step 2 – Measure your fabric or scrapbook paper to fit the center of your frame or piece of art. Then attach it to the piece of art. Use mod podge or glue stick to create a permanent piece of art or use tape to create something temporary.
Step 4 – Cut out some ribbon. This will be used to hang the balls on your piece of art. You'll need to cut them in varying lengths. You'll want some of the balls to hang near the middle, while some will be higher, and others will be lower. Use your piece of art to get a good idea of what sizes you need.
Step 5 – Now loop the ribbons through the balls. To attach them you can either tie a small knot or you can use hot glue or tape to affix the ribbon to itself once it is looped through.
Step 6 – Attach the balls to your piece of art. Again for my temporary piece, I simply used tape to attach the ribbon to the frame. And I was able to place it in such a way that you can't even tell that it's taped. But if you want something permanent, you should attach the ribbons with hot glue.
Now you should have a fun piece of Christmas wall art that you can use year after year (or just for this year)!
I'm also linking up to these weekly parties.
Monday is the first day of the Holly Bloggy Christmas. The first event is the Homemade Gifts party being hosted by Jen at tater tots and jello.
For my homemade gift, I decided to share a fun scarf-upcyle project! I just happened to have 3 red scarves in my possession, and I decided to transform one of them into a Christmas themed scarf. Of course, I don't recommend that you give your old scarves away to your friends! But if you like to make homemade gifts you could easily buy a plain scarf or some fabric and do this project!
Step 1 – Get your scarf ready. If you don't have a scarf, I'd suggest getting one from a store like Ross, Marshall's, or Burkes. They usually have nice clothes and accessories for cheap! You may also try Walmart or perhaps even the dollar store.
Alternatively you could buy a piece of fabric from Walmart or the craft store. (The scarf in these pictures measures 12 inches by 63 inches, but if you were making it for a small child, you make it about half that length.) After cutting your fabric just cut some fringe on each end. The fringe on my scarf is 3 inches.
Step 2 – Take your Christmas themed fabric and cut out the shapes that you'd like to have on your scarf. This will be the dominating image for the scarf. In order for the shapes to show up good from a distance you need to cut out shapes that are 3 inches tall or more. Depending on the size of the images, I would cut anywhere from one to four images out for each side of your scarf (2 to 8 images total).
As you can see I didn't cut the images out so they'd be absolutely identical. For one thing, I'm a terrible cutter, and I knew I'd drive myself crazy trying to get them exactly the same. And secondly I thought it would give the scarf a little more character if they were a little different.
After you've cut out the big images arrange them on your scarf. Then attach them using either mod podge or some hot glue.
Step 3 – Add Embellisments. I love buttons, so I added 4 coordinating buttons to the scarf, two for each side. And I just added these with hot glue, no sewing needed! You could also glue on beads, jewels, or pom poms. Or if you're fabric has some smaller images on it, you could cut these out and add them as well.
Step 4 – Finally just wear it and enjoy. Or wrap it up and place it under the tree!
I'm also linking up at these parties.

Drawing Dead
SM Reine
Dana McIntyre has been bitten by a master vampire. She's infected with the venom. And after killing hundreds of vampires to keep Las Vegas safe, she'd rather die than turn. There might be a cure. But the only way to get it is through Nissa Royal, a vampire with close ties to the masters of Las Vegas. Nissa is dangerous — too dangerous to be allowed to live, much less work alongside. But if Dana dies, vampires win Vegas. If she doesn't die, she becomes one of the bloodless. The cure's her only chance.
The Obscured Journey
Jerald Albritton
The human condition is one riddled with complexities about the path we yearn for, who we are and what we believe. We have become so dogmatic in our beliefs that when they don't come to fruition or we find them to be a hoax, our journey can come crashing down with obscurity. Our conclusions are obsolete until a catastrophic event called life occurs.

The New Mexico Economic Development Department, in collaboration with the New Mexico Manufacturing Extension Partnership, is offering New Mexico 9000 training classes to prepare New Mexico businesses for ISO 9001 Certification.
New Mexico 9000 was created by the Economic Development Department to provide training and assistance to New Mexico businesses in preparing for ISO 90001:2008. Training will be broken into six half-day sessions over a 3-6 month period.
"This is a great opportunity for New Mexico businesses to access new customers, become more efficient and lower their operating costs," said Jon Barela, New Mexico Economic Development Cabinet Secretary.
The New Mexico 9000 training program has been completed by 155 companies, creating over 1,000 new expansion jobs.
ISO is a general Quality Management System. Companies like INTEL, Boeing and many other companies are requiring that their first tier suppliers be ISO 9001 certified. In turn, those suppliers are requiring that their suppliers are ISO 9000 certified. In addition, government agencies, such as the Department of Defense, NASA and NNSA are also requiring ISO certification of their providers.
ISO 9000 standards have been adopted by 178 countries. There are now more than 1 million companies worldwide that have registered to the ISO standards. Costs associated with obtaining, maintaining, and renewing ISO registration are tax deductible.
The cost of the New Mexico 9000 training classes is based on annual company sales revenue, ranging from $550 to $3,300 for the training.
The 2011 Next Generation Manufacturing Study is now online! Be sure you read about the shifts and trends in the small manufacturing industry.
The study, conducted by the Manufacturing Performance Institute, finds that this is a critical point in time for U.S. manufacturing, and manufacturers must assess whether they have the workforce, business systems, equipment and strategies in place to successfully compete in the future. While external factors, like the economic downturn present challenges, manufacturers can remain competitive by focusing on six strategies assessed by the NGM Study as a blueprint for success.
This workshop is designed for engineers, designers, drafters, machinists, inspectors, manufacturing, quality engineers, students or any others interested in a greater understanding of engineering drawings with GD&T specifications.
This lively and informative workshop will cover the Fundamentals of GD&T based on the newly released ASME Y14.5 -2009 standard. The new standard simply clarifies and enhances many topics already in the existing ASME Y14.5M-1994 presently used in many companies today.
With a basic understanding of print reading, the attendees will be introduced to rules and terminology of GD&T as well as the symbols and their applications in this unique engineering language. They will be able to apply these concepts to their projects immediately after the first day of instruction. There are many examples and workshop exercises to test the participant's skills.
To achieve the objectives listed above, this workshop provides many exercises and applications problems which ties the "textbook theory" to real world applications.
Students may also bring drawings that can be used for classroom discussions as time permits. Please bring a pencil and calculator.

When Clovis-based Leslie Candy Co. was purchased by Greg Southard in 2002, the 50-year-old company was using trusted manufacturing processes and recipes to create peanut patties, brittles and haystacks for distribution to supermarkets, convenience stores and specialty boutiques throughout the United States.
Southard invited New Mexico Manufacturing Extension Partnership into the organization to review how things were flowing on the manufacturing floor.
Today, Southard still uses the company's savory recipes and traditional cooking methods, but he now runs a lean shop with streamlined operations.
"New Mexico MEP came in, watched our processes and provided feedback and solutions," said Southard. "Based on their recommendation, we implemented an incentive program for our frontline employees, which resulted in a production increase of 25 percent, while lowering overall operating costs. New Mexico MEP helped us to look at our processes in a new way," he said.
New Mexico MEP is a nonprofit organization that helps businesses increase profitability. Serving businesses throughout the state from its offices in Albuquerque, Roswell, Farmington and Las Cruces, New Mexico MEP brings together experts in government, not-for-profit organizations and industry to offer resources that help companies become more competitive.
Based on the premise that a lean operation is a profitable operation, New Mexico MEP helps key staff understand the principles of lean manufacturing. It offers workshops, on-site trainings and systems analyses.
Southard's Leslie Candy Co. benefitted from applying Value Stream Mapping to its manufacturing operation. VSM creates a visual map of existing operations – the route that raw materials take to become a finished product – and compares it to a map of how things could be done more efficiently. It helps participants analyze a business' manufacturing system to identify redundancy and waste, and determines the tools needed to implement improvements. Starting with the way a company acquires its raw materials, VSM seeks to shorten the time it takes products to get to consumers.
Value Stream Mapping is also used in administrative settings to eliminate unnecessary paperwork and processes. The same principles, when applied to a front office or bookkeeping department, can put the focus back on the customer by incorporating lean concepts.
Besides efficiency trainings, New Mexico MEP offers classes that teach supervisors how to relate to employees, including how to motivate, resolve conflicts, reduce accidents, decrease equipment damage and increase product quality and quantity.
Businesses can also utilize the Partnership for Success program, a free Internet-based library and email subscription service that provides technical background and business information.
Every year over 700 manufacturers, industry experts and MEP field staff join together to learn and connect, bringing the experience back to their organizations and continuing to build a strong & competitive U.S. manufacturing base. The event truly brings the "voice of manufacturing" and "voice of government" to an open, educational and sharing environment that makes a measurable impact on U.S. manufacturing.
Manufacturers can participate in the Next Generation Manufacturing Study and measure their readiness, support systems and resources, and performances in six key strategic areas necessary for world-class manufacturing and future success.

Not Repeating America's Mistakes
On this episode of Dorer Daily I talk about how on this day in 1857 the owner of Dred Scott freed him. This freedom came after nearly a lifetime of slavery. Most importantly to me and my listeners as well as the country as a whole is the fact that it also came after two separate lawsuits spanning almost a decade in time, litigated with such fervor that the Decision in Scott v. Sanford, a lawsuit for Dred's freedom, became infamously known as the Dred Scott Decision, which undid the Missouri Compromise, declared all slaves non-citizens with no standing to sue, and essentially laid the welcoming mat of hostility between the North and South that led to this Country's Civil War.
In the news of the day, late last night the House passed a bill conferring rights on LGBT persons. Those rights are narrow, insofar as the legislation passed prohibits agencies funded by the bill to award taxpayer dollars to federal contractors that violate President Barack Obama's executive order barring discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. On the other hand, a suit that's headed straight to SCOTUS I'm sure is about whether or not States have to follow President Obama's order requiring them to let students use the bathroom of their gender identity.
The last great frontier of civil rights in this country is turning out to be those of transgendered people. What once were demagogic attacks against gays about who potties where with our young children has now become the talking point of the day for those left with no one else to discriminate against. After the ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges civil rights activists have rightly turned their focus to the most marginalized group in our country: transgendered persons. In fact,
Hopefully, transgendered people won't have to walk down the same path of lifelong oppression that Dred Scott and the Black community of this Country have endured. So long as our legislative branch continues to provide the protections transgendered persons are due under the 14th Amendment (an amendment we only have because Dred Scott fought so hard that the Country had to fight itself to reconcile it), maybe we have a chance. But, Republican-led States will continue to sue away for their right to discriminate, and hopefully SCOTUS won't make the mistakes it made in 1857.

JOHNNY AND THE
The peak in popularity for Toledo, Ohio instrumental band Johnny and the Hurricanes was relatively short, spanning about two years from 1959 to '61, though many long-term fans were gained during that time. As good as the quintet's best selling singles were, most of those loyal followers agreed they weren't necessarily the best saxophonist Johnny Paris and company had to offer, due in part to a formula of retooling older pop songs as directed by producer and shot-caller Harry Balk. The really compelling Hurricanes gems can be found on 45 flip sides and album tracks, offering proof of the group's deserved place among the elite of late-'50s rock acts.
Several students at Rossford High (just across the Maumee River from Toledo) got together in 1957, briefly calling themselves The Black Cats before switching to the more timely Orbits (after all, the space race was heating up with the Soviet Union's launching of Sputnik that October). John Pocisk (originally from Walbridge, Ohio, a Toledo suburb several miles to the south) was the ringleader from the start; a fan of the sounds of sax-wielding stars Rudy Pompilli (of Bill Haley's Comets) and Sil Austin (who'd hit big with "Slow Walk" in '56), John took up the instrument. His best buddy, Paul Tesluk, played several instruments (accordion, mainly), showing off his rock and roll skills best on organ. Guitarist Dave Yorko, bassist Tommy Curran, trumpeter Mike Woods and drummer Don Staczek rounded out the original lineup.
Tesluk was a member of a local polka band, The Silver Tones, before and after getting on board with John's group, while at some point Curran was replaced by Lionel "Butch" Mattice. In addition to working their own gigs around the area, the Orbits sometimes played behind local singer Fred Kelly and his vocal group The Parliaments, a connection that got them in the door with Detroit record promoters Harry Balk and Irving Micahnik, who signed the sextet to a contract with their Talent Artists agency. At first they were strictly studio players, providing backup on several Parliaments tracks and "Oh This is Why" by The Dream Girls (with lead singer Bobbie Smith), issued on Balk and Micahnik's Twirl label in the spring of 1959.
One final name change, to Johnny and the Hurricanes, directly preceded the band's first 45, "Crossfire," a hot 'n' nasty, sax-heavy instro issued on Twirl in early '59 ahead of the Dream Girls disc. These early Twirl recordings were made in a former movie house, the Carmen Theater, the venue lending a natural reverb evident on the finished product. Woods was out by this time, Tony Kaye took over for Staczek on drums, and the act was set as a quintet. John changed his name to Johnny Paris and would soon be putting on airs in keeping with his self-imposed star moniker. After Balk arranged with New York's Warwick Records for wider release, "Crossfire" caught on, notching solid top 30 sales and airplay on national charts throughout June '59.
Acting on a preference for the music of his own youth, Harry Balk convinced the band to modernize some of his favorite standards of decades past. "Red River Valley," a late 19th century folk tune brought to prominence when Gene Autry sang it in the hit 1936 film bearing the song's title, was retooled as "Red River Rock," hardly as urgent a track as the band's debut disc, though it was considerably more popular with a strong run in the top ten during September and October. This success fueled Balk's concept that older songs were the way to go, leading to a series of gimmicky hit remakes (each strangely spotlighting Tesluk's organ over Paris's sax): "Reveille Rock" reworked the military bugle call for keyboard, complete with the Sergeant's bellow: 'All right you guys, rise and shine!' (meanwhile, non-hit B sides "Buckeye" and "Time Bomb" supplied Hurricanes fans with the hotter "Crossfire" follow-ups they craved). Early 1960 single "Beatnik Fly" (a thinly-veiled "Blue Tail Fly" sans the 'Jimmy Crack Corn and I don't care' vocal refrain) was the fourth hit in a row (its flip, "Sand Storm," unfortunately deserving of more radio exposure). Balk (as Tom King) and Micahnik (as Ira Mack) usually showed up on the labels as songwriters regardless of each song's original copyrights.
The group made the best of the sudden fame in spite of tight finances, which seems unthinkable for an act that had sold a few million records in less than a year's time. They bought themselves a Volkswagen Bus, had a spiffy Johnny and the Hurricanes logo painted on the side, loaded all their instruments, outfits, and themselves, into it and traveled around the country to promote the act. Kaye cracked under the pressure and was replaced by drummer Bill "Little Bo" Savich. Balk and Micahnik struck a deal with New York's Bigtop label, leaving Warwick Records (and, as it turned out, any further top 40 hits) behind; the first release, L. Wolfe Gilbert's "Down Yonder" (a major hit for honky-tonk female piano player Del Wood less than a decade before) stalled mid-chart around Independence Day in '60. An original tune, "Rocking Goose," came to life in the studio with Johnny achieving the squawking-gander sound effect by blowing into the saxophone's mouthpiece without the sax attached. It was their biggest hit in England, where singles had sold more impressively than at home and the group had been enthusiastically greeted on tour.
In an effort to reverse the downward sales trend (in the U.S., anyway), Balk hired a larger session band to beef up the sound of Hurrances records. "You Are My Sunshine" (a durable standard written by former Louisiana governor Jimmie Davis in 1940, it became another of Gene Autry's signature songs) and "Ja-Da" (a surprisingly contemporary take on a World War I-era chestnut) both scraped the bottom of the charts, the latter J&H's final U.S. chart single in early 1961 (that summer, they scored in the U.K. for the last time with the two-sider "Old Smokie" and "High Voltage"). In adverse proportion to the band's slipping fortunes, Johnny Paris became more convinced of his star power (it's been suggested he took a much larger share of the proceeds for himself) and began treating his longtime Toledo bandmates poorly, leading to a mutiny, as they departed to form The Fascinators, ultimately putting out a pair of singles (not surprisingly sounding very much like the Hurricanes) for the small Trans Atlas label in 1962.
Afterwards, Johnny ventured forth with replacement musicians - dozens of them over the years - finding bookings quite lucrative in the European market. During a visit to Germany in December 1962, they headlined at the Star-Club in Hamburg with opening act The Beatles (or "Beatels" as some of the posters proclaimed), who grudgingly played second fiddle just as their first single, "Love Me Do," was peaking in the top 20 on the U.K. charts; the engagement ended on the final day of the year and the Fab Four never returned to the Star-Club (but Johnny and the Hurricanes did, in 1964).
Paris and his rotating Hurricanes crew managed to remain with Bigtop (though hitless) through mid-1963, moving to the Mala label (as Balk and Micahnik's much more successful act Del Shannon also did some months later) for a pair of singles. In 1964, Paris started his own label, Jeff Records (changed soon after to Atila, odd though both names seem), putting out occasional singles whenever he could finance them while continuing to tour under the band's name. The former Hurricanes left the music biz, though guitarist Dave Yorko made attempts to sustain his love of music; in 1965, American Arts released his single "Chili Beans" (it's actually the same tune as Bobby Darin's "Come September") under the nostalgic name Dave and the Orbits.
Johnny Paris made the most of his fleeting late-'50s/early '60s fame, heading up his frequently-changing lineup of Hurricanes wannabes for another 40 years or so. While touring Europe (he did so many times, as demand remained high), he often hired backing musicians from the countries he visited. As far as anyone but the most diehard followers were aware, Johnny and the Hurricanes had been doing their instrumental thing together since the 1950s, though one suspects it wasn't hard to see through Johnny's ruse. The music was what mattered, and he kept it going strong until his death in 2006.

Q: sizes of RAM, of virtual memory and of swap for 32-bit OS If I understand correctly, a 32-bit OS (Ubuntu) can only address 4GiB memory, so RAM with size larger than 4Gib will only be used 4Gib of itself and the rest is a waste.
I am now confused about this situation for RAM with similar one for virtual memory and  for swap.

*

*with virtual memory being swap +
RAM, if the size of the virtual
memory exceeds 4Gib, will the
exceeding part be a waste for the
32-bit OS?

*if I now have to choose the size for
my swap partition, is it a factor to
consider that the 32-bit OS can only
address 4GiB memory? Does the size
of swap have to be chosen with
respect to the 4Gib addressible
limitation? Will the swap exceeding 4GiB always be a waste?

*is virtual memory equal to RAM and
swap? or can virtual memory use
space on the hard drive outside the
swap partition?
Thanks and regards!

A: The 32-bitness of the CPU only applies towards process memory and physical memory; the OS maintains its own CPU-independent structures for mapping the swap to the various processes. As much swap as the OS can handle can be used regardless of the bit depth of the CPU.
Strictly speaking, "virtual memory" is the space a process can access. Some of it can be mapped to either swap or storage via mmap(2).

A: Swap does not fail to handle post-4GB addresses, that limitation applies to mapping physical memory, even in a 32-bit environment (it's not addressed in the same way).
As for the amount of swap, there is a common myth that it should be twice as large as your physical RAM size, that's simply not really needed -- swap was much more of a critical component back in the days when 512MB RAM was the standard, but nowadays it has much more of a "back seat" function, if you want to call it that. If you use hibernate you should make sure that you have at least physical RAM + a bit more (maybe an excess of 512MB if you want to be cautious).
With that said, better safe than sorry. If you have the space free, considering using a moderately sized swap size (maybe 1.5x your physical).

A:
If I understand correctly, a 32-bit OS (Ubuntu) can only address 4GiB memory, so RAM with size larger than 4Gib will only be used 4Gib of itself and the rest is a waste.

That's not correct. You are correct that a 32-bit OS can only address 4GiB of virtual memory at a time. But that has nothing to do with physical memory. 32-bit OSes can address more than 4GiB of physical memory using, for example, PAE.

with virtual memory being swap + RAM, if the size of the virtual memory exceeds 4Gib, will the exceeding part be a waste for the 32-bit OS?

Virtual memory is a technique for creating things that look like memory that don't actually map to physical RAM. Mapped virtual memory cannot exceed 4GiB on a 32-bit OS. However, windowing can be used to allow more than 4GiB of virtual memory to be addressed, though not all of it at once.

if I now have to choose the size for my swap partition, is it a factor to consider that the 32-bit OS can only address 4GiB memory? Does the size of swap have to be chosen with respect to the 4Gib addressible limitation? Will the swap exceeding 4GiB always be a waste?

No, because the 32-bit OS limit is about how much virtual memory it can address at once. Say you're running eight processes and each of them want to use 1GiB of virtual memory. That's fine and doesn't hit any limitations, but that might require more than 4GiB of swap.

is virtual memory equal to RAM and swap? or can virtual memory use space on the hard drive outside the swap partition?

Virtual memory is limited by issues that have nothing to do with how much RAM or swap you have. Mapped files are virtual memory. Paging uses space outside the swap partition to store clean pages and space in the swap partition to store dirty pages. Ideally, the system can page both clean and dirty pages, as this gives it the most flexibility.

Last week I was kindly invited by the co-owner of Jonathan + Olivia, Nic to attend the Vejas launch event. Not only is J+O one of Toronto's cooler stores, and adding Vejas to this mix… Um yes, I will be there.
If you don't know who Vejas is, he is pretty impressive. What I love about this young designer the most is that he learned his skill by watching Japanese Youtube videos. How cool is that? With that being said, I had to bring my favourite YouTuber friend Anthony Deluca to this event. After that thought, I knew my new friend Ronny over at Fashion Moves Forward might like to write about this event as well. Well I was right, and his full event recap and photos are linked below. It's a great read, be sure to check it out.
Thank you again Nic and the J+O team for putting together a great event and for having us.
The guy on the left loves to write. The guy on the right has great hair.

This dip was great! I used salmon that I had smoked on the barby, so I omitted the liquid smoke. My teenager said it was the first time she ever had fish she liked.
Whenever I take my home-smoked fish to a function or have it as a starter when dining with friends and family, it always gets a lot of attention and praise.
Steps 1. In a dish large enough to hold the fish fillets, add the Pickling Spice and several cups of water. Add the fish and ensure that the water covers the fillets.

By SmartBear
SmartBear
Share through email
SOMERVILLE, Mass. — Jan. 11, 2022 — SmartBear, a leading provider of software development and quality tools, today announced its global Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiative, solidifying the company's commitment to social responsibility by adopting a comprehensive set of corporate and governance practices to achieve key sustainability benchmarks. The ESG initiative will be overseen by a group of senior leaders and is sponsored by the CEO.
"SmartBear has long been committed to becoming a leader in corporate social responsibility, and today we are thrilled to formalize our commitment," said Frank Roe, CEO at SmartBear. "To that end, we decided to focus on Community, Sustainability, Governance, and Diversity. While these areas are already of great importance to our employees, we're excited to make greater investments in supporting our pledge to remain dedicated to social responsibility in our communities around the world."
The SmartBear ESG spans across four primary pillars:
Community – Volunteering and philanthropic initiatives at the local level for each of the company's global offices
Sustainability – Commitments to supporting a sustainable climate, including efforts around the company's data storage and office buildings
Governance – Company-wide, locale-specific risk management and mitigation, data privacy and protection, and initiatives that ensure compliance with laws and regulations
Diversity – Committing to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workforce where diversity is celebrated and all SmartBear employees are treated with respect
SmartBear realized various ESG successes in 2021 and established its ESG initiative with the goal of building on these accomplishments. In 2021, the company completed a Greenhouse Gas survey, was recognized with an industry award for philanthropy, hired a Diversity and Inclusion Manager, and attained new data security standards.
"SmartBear has built out an ambitious, actionable, and scalable ESG program, and we look forward to supporting their efforts as they make measured progress in their initiatives," said Kim Eaton, a SmartBear Board Member and Operating Managing Director at Vista Equity Partners. "SmartBear, like the other high-achieving organizations across our portfolio, understands the importance of accountability and their role in making sustainable contributions to build a better world. Technology and enterprise software will continue to be critical drivers of ESG impact, and we are committed to support the positive impact of our investments during our ownership as we are doing with SmartBear."
Vista Equity Partners ("Vista") is a leading global investment firm focused on enterprise software, and data and technology-enabled businesses. SmartBear is a Vista portfolio company. Vista is a signatory of the Principles of Responsible Investing (PRI). In its inaugural ESG Report released earlier this year, the firm highlights the correlation between strong ESG practices and positive business performance, customer and stakeholder engagement, and market leadership.
