Q: How to map an outgoing host/port from a container to a different port I have a smallish webapp that connects to a mariadb database.  I have Tomcat running in one container and mariadb in another container.  Tomcat refers to the mariadb instance with a JDBC url specified in the Context.xml file, specifying the current fqhn and port 3306.
I now have to duplicate this configuration, such that I have two instances of the webapp on the box, comprising four containers, two running Tomcat, and two running Mariadb.  It's easy enough to do the simple port mapping on "docker run", so that each of the Tomcat instances are reachable through different ports, and similarly for the mariadb instances.
What's not clear to me is how to map the OUTGOING host:port reference from the Tomcat container to the mariadb instance.  The Context.xml file in the image specifies the JDBC url for the database, using the current fully-qualified host name and the default port of 3306.
I have the ability to change the single image so it can work with both instances, but I still have to have a single image with a single JDBC url.  With the first container pair, it has to reach the original mariadb instance running on 3306.  The second container pair, even though it's specifying port 3306, has to connect to port 3307.
Is this somehow done with the "--link" command-line option?
Update:
This would be easier if an existing application wasn't running, and I could just hack through this until it's working.  I have to make sure I step through this carefully, to minimize disruption.  I have to make one change to the image source code, being the JDBC url in the context.xml file.  I changed that to "jdbc:mysql://db:3306/estimatordb".
Although I build the application WAR file with Gradle on my desktop (or on the Jenkins instance), the Docker image is only built on the Jenkins instance.  I had been running the containers on the target host in a systemd file, just doing "docker run ...".  In the Jenkins build, through ssh I do a "docker pull" of the image name and then a "docker stop" to stop the existing container so it will restart with the new image.
In the interim, I'm going to change the image name that I build (just adding "2" to the name), and I'm commenting out the "ssh docker stop" for now.  I'm not sure what that will translate to with compose.  Obviously "docker-compose stop" is a starting point, but that gets confusing if I'm making changes to the compose file in this build.
My "docker-compose.yml" file is a source file in my project, so I guess I will do a "ssh docker-compose -f -", piping in my compose file.
The following is what I've thrown together for the "docker-compose.yml" file, but I haven't verified this at all:
version: '2'
services:
  estimator:
    image: tomcat-estimator2
    ports:
      - "8889:8080"
      - "445:443"
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime
    depends_on:
      - db
    links:
      - db:db
  db:
    image:  mariadb:10.1.22
    ports:
      - "3307:3306"
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime
      - /opt/app/estimator/databases/estimator/mysql:/var/lib/mysql
  estimator-automation:
    image: tomcat-estimator2
    ports:
      - "8890:8080"
      - "446:443"
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime
    depends_on:
      - db-automation
    links:
      - db-automation:db
  db-automation:
    image:  mariadb:10.1.22
    ports:
      - "3308:3306"
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime
      - /opt/app/estimator/databases/estimator-automation/mysql:/var/lib/mysql

Notice that the port numbers are 1+ the ports for the existing application, as I don't want to bring that down until I'm sure this will work.
Any comments about this will be useful.

A: Generally speaking those use cases like specifying resources that are needed to run an application are usually handled (especially in the docker context) by providing a way to pass such information as command line parameters or via environment. For more information on this, have a look at the great manifesto of the 12 factor app, especially the section on configuration.
For your concrete problem, I'm sure there are ways to inject this information into the tomcat config, for example as in this question. So you could already solve your problem by running two database containers on different ports and pass the corresponding connections strings to your two tomcat containers.
But this is not the full solution yet. When you think about the combination of a tomcat container with a database as one deployment, you can make use of the docker virtual networks and connect such a setup without even publishing a port of the database to the outside world. When two containers are in the same network, you can reference them using their given names, so that your databases are always reachable as mydatabase:3306 within the docker virtual network. This works especially easy when using a system like docker-compose that handles such namespacing for you and lets you define your whole stack as one compose file. Please have a look at the getting started for docker-compose that does exactly this with a python application accessing a redis instance.

A: You can bind mount a unique context.xml to each container with the -v option.
For example on the host:
$ mkdir /tmp/container
$ cd /tmp/container
$ vi container1_context.xml # Edit JDBC url
$ vi container2_context.xml # Edit JDBC url
$ docker run ... -v /tmp/container/container1_context.xml:<path/to/context.xml> tomcat
$ docker run ... -v /tmp/container/container2_context.xml:<path/to/context.xml> tomcat

iOS 14.5 prevents IP addresses from leaking to Google
Apple's upcoming iOS 14.5 update comes with a new feature that redirects all fraudulent website verifications through its proxy servers as an alternative to maintaining user privacy and preventing IP addresses from leaking to Google.
The built-in feature focuses on security in the safari browser, alerting users about dangerous websites that have been reported to be deceptive or harmful by displaying a sign that says: A fraudulent website warning.
To achieve this, Apple relies on Google Safe Browsing – or Tencent Safe Browsing for users in China.
Safe browsing is a blocklist that provides a list of web resource URLs containing malware or phishing content, to compare the calculated hash prefix from the website address and check if the website is fraudulent.
Any match with the database causes Google or Tencent to request a full list of URLs that match the hash indent, thereby preventing the user from accessing the site with a warning display.
While the policy ensures that the actual URL of the website that the user is trying to visit will never be shared with your safe browsing provider, it leaks the IP address of the device from which the scan was selected.
With iOS 14.5, all these verifications are expected to be redirected via an Apple-owned proxy server, making all requests appear to come from the same IP address.
Maciej Stachowiak, Apple's head of WebKit engineering, said in a tweet: Safari's new trial version of iOS plays the role of the agent through Apple's servers to reduce the risk of information leaks.
The new change in iOS and iPadOS is part of a number of privacy-oriented actions recently introduced by Apple, including requiring app developers to disclose data collection practices in-app store listings using privacy labels.
In addition, iOS 14.5 requests users' permission before tracking them across other apps and sites as part of the new app tracking Transparency feature.
iOS 14.5 is currently in the pilot phase and is scheduled for launch later this spring.

Q: Mongoose must have a solution for only updating fields that have a value, even if you pass more fields I have a real brain teaser... well for me.
I have a collection where all the documents have the same fields, but may not all contain values for each.
For example:
doc1{
    twitter: '*********',
    facebook: '*********',
    linkedin: '*********'
}

doc2{
    twitter: '*********'
}

doc3{
    facebook: '*********',
    linkedin: '*********'
}

My challenge is that I want to do an 'updateMany' function where I may pass something like this:
updateMany(){
    twitter: '########',
    facebook: '########',
    linkedin: '########'
}

and I only want to update the fields in the docs that already have a value and not update all the fields so each document ends up having a value for each field.
So it would look like this:
doc1{
    twitter: '########',
    facebook: '########',
    linkedin: '########'
}

doc2{
    twitter: '########'
}

doc3{
    facebook: '########',
    linkedin: '########'
}

I'm not sure how to do this without iterating through each record and each field, which seems overly complex.
Mongoose must have something for this scenario...???
Thanks!

A: You can try with $exists operator but you can't merge all those updates into one database call since different documents will be affected depending on properties (this is because you specify filtering condition and update definition separately), however you can build that query dynamically in JS:
let newDoc = {
    twitter: '########',
    facebook: '########',
    linkedin: '########'
};

Object.keys(newDoc).forEach(async (key) => {
    await Model.updateMany({ [key]: { $exists: true} }, { $set: { [key]: newDoc[key] } });
});

The log cabin quilt block is one of the most popular and recognizable quilt blocks. It is a great scrappy quilt block, and for that reason it has been made for years by women who only had bits and pieces of fabric.
Traditionally the log cabin quilt block was made with a red center. Then rounds of rectangles, or logs, are placed around it. Half the block is made in a light color, and half the block in a contrasting medium or dark color.
The color is not as important as the value. As you can see in the above picture, the darks are different colors, but all of similar value. When I make log cabin quilts, I do like to repeat the rounds of a single block with the same light fabric. I think it unifies the quilt and makes it a little less busy, but that is just a personal choice.
There are many ways to layout this block when you are done with it. A few of them are pictured at the bottom of the page. There are also many ways to vary this log. In the picture at the top of the page, the center is larger than the logs. You can also make the center the same size as the logs.
This block is easy to chain piece. If you want to sew the logs together a couple at a time, the picture to the left shows you how you would begin, moving in in a clockwise direction. In picture at the top of the page the logs were attached going counter-clockwise.
Here is how you chain a very traditional log cabin quilt block.
You start by selecting the size of your logs. The wider the log, the faster the quilt will be to complete. However, thinner logs make more vintage looking quilts. In this example, let's make them 2-inches finished. To begin you cut one 2 1/2 inch strip for the center, and one 2 1/2 inch strip for the first log. Sew them together, and then cut them apart every 2 1/2 inches. You center piece will look like the above picture, except the center will be smaller.
Now you start adding the rounds. Cut one long 2 1/2 inch strip of the dark or light fabric. Put it under your presser foot, and place one of the cut blocks along the edge, right sides together. Start sewing the blocks on the long piece of fabric. After one is sewn, just slip the next block behind it. When you are done, you cut them apart and press.
It is easy to get confused on which way to place the logs. She takes you step-by-step through the process, and with her illustrations, you won't have any problems. Every time I start a new log cabin quilt, I pull out the book to make sure I get started correctly. This book has been out for years, and there are many inexpensive copies of it.
There are other ways to make this block. Some people carefully measure and cut out all the logs in advance. Others paper piece it. However I think you get just as good a quilt with the quick piecing method.

This character area highlights the historic core of Rotherham, the area to the immediate east of the rivers Don and Rother that had developed as an urban settlement by the time of the first 6 inch to the mile Ordnance Survey map of 1851. The form of this area is made up of a tight cluster of streets, of probable medieval origin, around All Saints church comprising: High Street, College Street, Church Street, Bridgegate, Upper Millgate and Lower Millgate. The plan form of the property boundaries related to these streets has evolved from a typically medieval pattern of narrow plots or 'burgages' set at right angles to these streets and either retained or amalgamated through subsequent years.
Whilst the central feature of the plan is clearly All Saints church, an equally important feature in the plan has been the historic market area, which lies to the west of the church yard - an area bounded by Church Street, Domine Lane and Market Street. Connecting this central area to other settlements are Millgate, Westgate and Wellgate, to the south, and, to the east, Doncaster Gate, all of which may well be of medieval origin. Communications to the north, west of the river Don, have been facilitated by a bridge to the north end of Bridge Street, since the medieval period, (discussed in more detail below).
As with the other main historic town cores in South Yorkshire (principally Barnsley, Doncaster and Sheffield), the present townscape is a complex mixture of old and new buildings, with elements of earlier plan form retained through the replacement of buildings within historic property boundaries. This zone description will discuss the complexities of this pattern in the section 'plan form analysis' (below).
The character zones surrounding Rotherham's historic core are intimately related to the processes that have operated to enlarge the settlement since its rapid evolution from market centre to industrial conurbation, from the 18th century onwards. Industrial and post-industrial landscapes dominate the area to the north and west of the River Don, where the smaller subsidiary settlement of Masborough was already becoming engulfed by the mid 19th century; developments in the iron and steel, glass and brass founding industries played an important part in this over the last 100 years. The best preserved examples of this industrial development can be found due west of Rotherham's historic core – an area that includes the listed buildings of the Guest and Chrimes brass foundry.
To the north of this area of surviving industrial character, and encircling much of the north of the historic core, is a large area inside the Centenary Way urban dual carriageway that is now characteristic of the 'Late 20th Century Replanned Centres' character zone. This 'Replanned Rotherham' character area is dominated by late 20th century developments of commercial and municipal property, generally constructed by non traditional methods. This modern character area has developed on land cleared in parts from areas of former industrial and former high density terraced housing.
To the east of the historic core lies an area of surviving grid iron terraced housing of late 19th century date. This housing was developed to a lower density than that which has been subsequently cleared, and is mixed with large detached properties. The south eastern and southern fringes of the historic core also border on areas with residential characteristics. The 'Moorgate Villa Suburb' to the south of the historic core developed along Moorgate Road from the mid 19th century onwards.
Figure 1: Plan form units within the historic core of Rotherham.
Plan form Analysis of Rotherham's Historic Core
The layout of the historic core of Rotherham survives well, with many earlier road patterns remaining. Through a combination of historic map analysis, consideration of archaeological excavations and comparison with other medieval settlements, the development of the town can be described, with degrees of historic legibility and later development considered in each plan unit.
Plan Unit I – All Saints Church
The present church of All Saints is now largely characterised by work of the Perpendicular architectural period (c.1335-50 to c.1530), although evidence exists for earlier building phases - with Saxon and Norman architectural fragments reused in foundation courses (Ryder 1982a, 96).
Plan Unit II – High Street Burgage Plots.
This plan unit consists of thin and narrow plots set perpendicular to the High Street. The plot series are reasonably well preserved, with little amalgamation of plots. The buildings standing on these plots include the former Three Cranes public house. This timber framed building is a composite structure, the frontage of which dates to the late 16th to 17th centuries, whilst an earlier wing consists of a medieval open hall block that retains evidence for a high status 'coved' area at one end, in addition to the remains of a vaulted undercroft beneath (YAJ 1980, 8; SMR ref: 1131). This building represents a potentially unique survival for South Yorkshire of in situ medieval domestic architecture on a burgage plot.
The plots to the south of High Street are significantly longer than others within the town, perhaps indicating a primacy within the urban hierarchy. Further evidence of their medieval date was demonstrated by archaeological excavations to the north of High Street (McCluskey 2005), which exposed a ditch perpendicular to the street. This was interpreted as a medieval property boundary as it contained 12th century pottery; it was sealed by a layer containing 13th-14th century pottery. Other plots contain listed buildings of 18th and 19th century date. To the east of the southern plot series some plots have been amalgamated to form sites suitable for 20th century retail properties, whilst to the west the series was interrupted in the late 19th century by an extension of Moorgate Street (see unit VIa).
Plan Unit III – Corporation Street to Bridgegate
Figure 2: (above) 1893 OS map of Bridgegate
This unit's importance in the medieval period would have lain in its connection of the fording point (later a bridging point) across the Don and the market and ecclesiastical centre to the south. The area includes the Chantry Bridge, which, whilst largely a 20th century replacement of the medieval bridge, retains part of the medieval structure - on which stands a rare example of a medieval bridge chapel.
Historic maps show the primary plot series of this plan unit, i.e. where the plots are longest in length, to be those facing on to Bridgegate. On historic maps, for instance the 1891 25 inch to the mile OS, a number of the boundaries of this plot series can be traced as continuous lines all the way through to the (now) lost Lower Millgate Street. This could suggest that Lower Millgate originally functioned as a 'back lane', providing rear access to the primary burgages. Lower Millgate Street originally ran alongside the eastern bank of a channel of the River Don. In the early 20th century this eastern channel (which may have been deliberately kept clear for the purposes of returning the water from the town mill to the main river) appears to have first silted up and then been made into new developable land at the time of the construction of Corporation Street in 1913 (Munford 2000, 126). The new street truncated the western edge of the original plots of this unit, resulting in the development of new buildings along this side.
Figure 3: (above) Medieval bridge chapel
Some plots may fossilise earlier boundaries but otherwise little pre-20th century fabric survives. Medieval legibility is strengthened by the survival of the chantry chapel on the bridge over the River Don.
Plan Unit IV – Wellgate / Doncaster Gate early 20th century development
A series of regular narrow plots along both Well Gate and Doncaster Gate are shown on Rotheram's 1774 plan of the town. The present buildings are likely to contain a majority of elements from the early 20th century although piecemeal redevelopment, with the survival of earlier forms, is possible. The layout of property boundaries here appears little changed since the 1850s, with good continuity of back to the medieval period likely.
Plan Unit IVb – Wellgate suburban area
Suburban development along Wellgate was already in evidence by the OS survey of 1851 and initially included some larger properties, such as the 18th century Wellgate Hall, itself likely to have been built on the site of a medieval manor (SYAS 2008, SMR ref 795). This property was industrialised by the mid 19th century, with a small chemical works erected in its grounds for the processing of dyes and pigments. By then much of the land within this plan unit had been developed as high density terraced and courtyard housing. This housing was in turn cleared in the later 20th century. This plan unit is now characterised by large late 20th century buildings surrounded by car parking and set in plots that are largely of modern origin. It includes office buildings, industrial and retail premises.
Plan Unit Va – Westgate
This plan unit is within the area shown as developed on 18th century maps, with a pattern of traditional narrow plots between the junctions of High Street and Sheffield Road.
This area of Rotherham saw much light to medium scale industry on land behind the street frontages in the 19th century. However, the decline of this sector during the 20th century led to economic deprivation of the area. Current land use falls firmly within the 'suburban commercial core' Broad Type, with a high proportion of early 20th century public houses, with characteristic frontages, and a few terraced retail shops and a telephone exchange building that have been identified by Jessop and May (2004) as being of medium to high historic potential.
Although the plan unit's present character dates mostly to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, current properties maintain some historic boundaries, despite their truncation by the developments of plan unit Vb.
Plan Unit Vb – Westgate Industrial Area
This plan unit was initially developed as traditional narrow plots as far south as the present junction of Westgate and Sheffield Road (described in unit Va above), with further ribbon development following similar patterns in the early 19th century, largely infilling and subdividing strip enclosures shown on the 1764 enclosure plan. The burgage plots shown on 18th century mapping had evolved into a mixed light industrial area by time of the 1851 OS survey, with many small courtyards of high density housing behind the frontages to the north of the unit. Conversely, the residential character of the southern half of the unit was dominated by larger middle class housing and orchards.
By the early 20th century bylaw terraced housing was encroaching to the south, whilst the courtyard dwellings had begun to be cleared in favour of light industrial units. By the mid 19th century, high density residential development lay alongside at least three foundries and a railway station to the west of Westgate. These developments had all been cleared and replaced by the mid 20th century. The eastern side of Westgate remained largely residential until the decline of this area in the later 20th century. By the 1980s and 1990s most of the housing in this area had been cleared in favour of prefabricated units, mostly concerned with motor trade businesses.
This area is now characterised by large open areas and buildings of typically mid 20th century date, although there are some 19th century industrial and institutional survivals. Jessop and May (2004) have identified a number of surviving features related to the 19th century fabric of the area, with historic potential.
VIa – Rotherham Town Hall, The Crofts and Upper Moorgate.
This plan unit is dominated by a large rectangular open area, shown on the 1764 enclosure map, that was the site of the town's cattle market until this was moved to a new site in Corporation Street. This occurred at the time of the construction of the police station and court house (now used as the Town Hall). This open space lies to the rear of a series of burgage plots on Wellgate and High Street, and to the north of an area of surveyed enclosure (shown on the 1764 plan). Its western boundary is formed by Moorgate Street, re-routed from its historic course (now Ship Hill) in the late 19th century, through the High Street plots (Unit II).
The oldest building within this area is the Methodist chapel to its west. The properties in the area now front on to Ship Hill and Moorgate, but formerly occupied High Street burgage plots.
VIb – Southgrove school site, Moorgate Nursing Home and The Maltings Sheltered Housing Scheme.
This plan unit is now occupied by a mixture of buildings dating to the late 20th and early 21st century. These include the site of the former South Grove School (under development as new build offices at the time of a site visit in 2005), which was built in the early 20th century on the site of a large villa, 'South Grove'; a nursing home, built on the site of the former Rotherham Union Workhouse (built c.1840), after its demolition in the 1980s; and a sheltered housing scheme also dating to the 1980s, on the site of a late 18th century malthouse that was cleared in the 1970s. Very little legibility of earlier developments remains.
VIIa – Effingham Street
This area represents an area of the medieval settlement core between the medieval College Street and Howard Street. Howard Street was laid down in the 1850s (Munford 2000, 117) and follows the approximate line of the historic common boundary behind the Bridgegate and College Street burgage plots, before joining with the former Pigeon Lane (shown on Rotheram's 1774 map), running between the Doncaster Gate burgages.
This area was notable in the medieval town for including the site of the College of Jesus (SYAS 2008, SMR ref:189), erected by Thomas Rotherham in 1483 as a college for priests of the collegiate church of All Saints. This college comprised a quadrangle of buildings around a college yard, which survived in large part until the mid 19th century although in reduced circumstances, after the dissolution of the chantries in 1547.
After dissolution the college estate, which included orchards, gardens and grazing lands, was acquired by the Earl of Shrewsbury (Guest 1880). The buildings seem to have been put rapidly to secular use - in 1590 a local rector was to bemoan the use of the buildings as a malthouse (Munford 2000, 43). On the 1774 map of the town the surviving building is marked on the town map as the College Inn. Its remains are currently encased within the buildings of the Woolworths store - other parts of the college may lie under Effingham Street to the west, which was driven through the college yard in the mid 19th Century.
This area was subject to radical change following a private Act of Parliament gained by the Earl of Effingham in 1850 (Munford 2000, 117) that enabled him to grant long leases on his land. This gave the Earl the opportunity to lay out a new grid pattern of streets to the north and east of the town core around the newly laid out Effingham Street. The land within this grid was then divided into building plots that could be leased to speculative developers for further improvement. During the second half of the 19th century the area to the west of Effingham Street was developed as commercial buildings, whilst the environs of the college to the east of the new street seem to have developed as institutional buildings, including a court house, police station and National School. At present the western plots consist of mid-late 19th century commercial buildings, but the eastern plots have been rebuilt and date to the mid-late 20th century.
VII b – The 'Market Place'
Figure 4: The market area in 1774 (above) shown on Rotherham's plan of the town.
This plan unit, largely under redevelopment during the life of this project as part of the Rotherham Renaissance programme, represents the historic site of Rotherham's market place. Historic mapping suggests that the medieval market place lay to the south east of the church yard, an arrangement that has also been suggested at Doncaster. The 1774 map of the town shows an open area labelled Sheep Market, with burgage plots aligned along its western side a dense concentration of semi-regular streets, including one labelled Shambles (traditionally a placename associated with the stalls of butchers). The four narrow passages running back (from what is now Church Street) towards the market place probably relate to the provision of street frontages for shops. It is possible that these streets emerged as 'market accretions', as stalls were gradually made into more permanent structures - again a process already suggested in a number of medieval market places, most locally at Doncaster (Slater 1989, 51).
This eastern side of the market place was swept away in the early 19th century as a result of an Act of Parliament, sought in 1801 "for enlarging and improving the Market Place … of Rotherham" (Munford 2000, 109). A new Shambles, shown on 19th century OS mapping, was the key result of this Act, providing accommodation for twenty eight shops on its exterior and 20 butchers and fishmongers stalls on its interior (ibid).

The 19th century shambles were replaced in the early 20th century with the present Imperial Buildings. The rest of the open market place, including its western burgages, remained and a corn exchange was added in 1841. However, in 1879 the properties to the west were comprehensively cleared by the Local Board and replaced with a new Market Hall, first built in iron and glass and then, by 1889, in brick (see plan above). This late 19th century development (demolished in the 1970s) established the street pattern that still survives today.
VIIc – All Saint's Square
All Saints Square was created in 1933 by the removal of a block of properties between College Street and All Saints church (Munford 2000, 135). Re-landscaped in the 1990s, this area is currently a public open space featuring a large TV screen. Earlier buildings on the plot included a dispensary, Grammar School and New Assembly Rooms built in the 1820s (ibid, 117). This area was shown built up on the 1774 map of the town and is likely to have been densely occupied in the medieval period.

As a physician in the U.S. Air Force, you will be responsible for the health and well-being of the men and women who fight, fly and soar into space to defend the nation and its international interests.
Your job will be to treat your patients and provide them with the best care possible, but your experience will be uniquely different. You'll not only be a medical doctor, but also an Air Force Officer, and you'll receive advantages that allow you to advance your career as far as you'd like it to go. Air Force doctors receive a top-notch education with a wide array of career-broadening opportunities and serve around the world in their chosen profession.
Core Mission
The Air Force Medical Service comprises nearly 60,000 active-duty, Reserve, civilian, and contract medical professionals who are responsible for the care of more than 2.6 million beneficiaries. Working environments include clinics, hospitals, operational settings, deployed and austere environments, and research labs. Air Force Graduate Medical Education also remains robust and allows for training in 85 specialties.
U.S. Air Force: Life as an Air Force Physician
Hear Air Force service members discuss what they find most interesting about their jobs.
WILLIAMS: Practicing medicine in the United States Air Force is very rewarding. You're taking care of a very special population of people who have served their country or are family members of people who have served their country. For me, the most interesting part about this job is not necessarily what happens in the clinic but it's the extra duties that are what excite me. For example, I went on a humanitarian mission, a two-week mission to the Dominican Republic. You're doing something that's far outside the spectrum of just the clinical work and that excites me. So one thing they do as a flight surgeon is they put us in the jet. I mean what other job can you say you get to go fly in a jet once a week? Do barrel rolls and aileron rolls? In the civilian sector, many times there's a gigantic insurance company or an HMO that that dictates patient care, but in the Air Force I can take care of my patients the way I want to. So if there is a test that the patient needs, it doesn't really matter how expensive, I get the test. The Air Force is completely on the cutting edge of technology. We have the latest imaging technology for radiology, the latest technology for surgical procedures. I take a lot of pride being a physician in the Air Force and it's been an outstanding opportunity and experience to be a part of a team who's treating patients but also carrying out a bigger mission.
Healthcare professionals work with patients all over the world in facilities ranging from small ambulatory clinics to large medical centers. Since every base provides a unique, tight-knit community, your patients could be your neighbors or coworkers. Air Force officers and physicians are encouraged to take full advantage of their positions to pursue leadership roles in relevant professional societies to advance their careers and remain at the cutting edge of their respective specialties, which include, but are not limited to:
Pulmonology/Critical Care

John Trentini, M.D., Ph.D.
Emergency Medicine Major, Air Force
Emergency Medicine Residency Overnight Shift
John's day-to-day medical service is very similar to his civilian colleagues. He goes on rotations, is mentored by attending physicians and receives on-the-spot training. During his overnight shift at Good Samaritan Hospital, John sees a patient who he puts on cardiac alert. The fast-paced, unexpected nature of emergency medicine is preparing him for a career in the Military.
TRENTINI: Being an emergency medicine resident, we train in the most part in civilian hospitals — from the Air Force's perspective is to train a good emergency department physician. TRENTINI: So it's about — about ten to 11:00 or so now, so getting ready to start our night. Kind of always take a peek at all the rooms, see what's going on in the way in. These are some of the higher-acuity rooms, so if there's anybody that's real sick that needs some help right away, I can always peek in, but everybody looks pretty stable right now. So we're getting checked in and settled in here. Hi, sir. PATIENT: Hi. TRENTINI: I'm Dr. Trentini. Nice to meet you. PATIENT: Nice to meet you. TRENTINI: I'm going to just shake this hand, they're working on you over there. What brings you in tonight? PATIENT: I've — chest pain. A really bad pressure right here. And I can feel it all the way down my left arm. TRENTINI: OK. PATIENT: It's almost like somebody's sitting on my left shoulder. TRENTINI: OK. PATIENT: Real bad pressure. TRENTINI: When did it start? PATIENT: About — about two hours ago. TRENTINI: OK. PATIENT: It started out real slow, and it just got gradually worse and didn't go away like normal. TRENTINI: OK. Hey, Dr. Fish? FISH: Hey. TRENTINI: I've got a gentleman that I just put a cardiac alert out on. He is stable, but here's his EKG. So, I mean, he's got some ischemic changes here in V2, V3, V4. He's probably having an anterior wall MIT. Yeah, so when you're working with an attending, basically you're working under their supervision, and so for me, I try to practice independently. In my mind, I pretend like they're not there. So I'm on my own, and I need to make all the medical decisions. But in the back of my mind I know that they're there, and they're watching me, and they're — they've got my back. FISH: His cardio back yet? TRENTINI: Not yet, we just put out the cardiac alert, so — so I'll take a look at his chest ray, we'll push with 5,000 to heparin, put him on a heparin drip, we'll start him on a nitro drip, his pressures will tolerate it — his pressure's been 190 throughout, so. FISH: Alright. TRENTINI: And then we'll get his pain — pain under control. FISH: Alright, so we're going to get things taken care of, alright? PATIENT: Thank you. TRENTINI: Alright. Alright, sir. I'll come and check on you in a bit, OK? Let me go and put it — talk to Chuck and get your medicines ordered, OK? PATIENT: Thank you. TRENTINI: Alright. Emergency medicine, in my opinion, is the best medical specialty because it's the most interesting, it's the most fun — you've got to be on your toes — and you take care of people that are pregnant and take care of babies all the way up to 100-year-old patients, with a wide variety of illnesses and a wide variety of acuity as well. So it's fun, and it's fast-paced, and so you get to see a lot of people on a shift and you get to see a lot of different things on a shift.

Q: How to make AppDir files available to an AppImage application? My build system, which uses meson, puts some files my application needs on AppDir under AppDir/usr/share/myapp/resources. The application needs both, read and write to those files when it is running. The files are in AppDir when I look at it, but when the .AppImage is generated, the standalone running executable cannot access those files. When integrating the application with the desktop, the application gets installed in ~/Applications, but it doesn't contain those files.
Here is a visualization of how it looks when the application is installed on the system without using AppImage (ninja install)
 usr
    share
         myapp
             resources
                 MainWindow.glade
                 dataCache.json

When I do DESTDIR=AppDir ninja install the structure ends like this
 AppDir
     usr
         share
             myapp
                 resources
                     MainWindow.glade
                     dataCache.json

When the application (MyApp.AppImage) is integrated into the user's desktop with AppImageLauncher, it only copies the AppImage into the Applications directory. There are no other folders or files.
Edit: I am using ./linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage --appdir AppDir to create the directory AppDir. Then I use DESTDIR=AppDir ninja install to install the app to AppDir, and then I use ./linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage --appdir AppDir --output appimage to create the AppImage
How would one go to access those files that were in AppDir once the app is bundled? Or how does one make the app integration copy those files to the Applications folder so that the application can have access to them while the application is running?

A: To resolve the AppImage mount point at runtime you can use the APPDIR environment variable. For example, if you want to resolve usr/share/icons/hicolor/myicon.png you need to use the following path $APPDIR/usr/share/icons/hicolor/myicon.png.
It's recommended that you modify the application to be able to resolve its resources depending on the binary location. As an alternative, you can use a custom environment variable to set up the path or a configuration file next to your main binary.
Regarding writing files inside the AppImage. This is not possible by design. An AppImage is a read-only SquashFS image that is mounted at runtime. Any application data should be written to $HOME/.config or $HOME/.local/share depending on whether it's a configuration data or other kind of data. The recommended workflow is to copy such data on the first run.
For more information about whether to copy your application data see https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs/

D.C. United Conducts Massive Midseason Overhaul, Headlined by USA's Paul Arriola
Amid a rough MLS season, with murmurs of ownership maneuvering and a new stadium on the horizon, D.C. United has embarked on a bold and necessary summer makeover.
Brian Straus
D.C. United on Wednesday afternoon appeared to answer any lingering questions about its commitment to the remainder of the 2017 season and its intentions for next year—when it plans to open its long-awaited new stadium—as it worked to seal a dramatic summer overhaul with the signing of U.S. national team midfielder Paul Arriola.
The looming acquisition will require the largest transfer fee of around $3.5 million, the largest in club history, a source confirmed to SI.com. The move was reported first by The Washington Post.
Arriola, 22, was on his way to the nation's capital Wednesday afternoon and could be unveiled as early as Thursday, SI.com understands. Some paperwork and details of the transaction still needed to be finalized, according to another source, and the transfer window closes Wednesday night. Once that's done, Arriola will join at least three other newcomers on a United side desperate for an infusion of energy and quality. Performances have been poor this year—DCU is 5-14-4 and seven points behind the next-to-last side in MLS's Eastern Conference—but of equal concern was the club's image and trajectory heading into 2018. There's been some uncertainty in Washington surrounding ownership's short- and long-term priorities and plans.
MLS Power Rankings, Week 22: FC Dallas Falling Fast as Toronto FC Remains On Top
But there's no question now that the effort and investment, at least, is there. Arriola is a young, promising American international expected to pay quick dividends on the field and perhaps down the road on the transfer market. That doesn't come cheaply, and Tijuana apparently wasn't eager to part with a player who was a frequent starter in the spring. The signings represents a historically bold move by D.C.
Arriola left the LA Galaxy academy for Tijuana following the 2012 MLS season and made his debut for the Liga MX club the following summer. He was a regular for the U.S. U-20 team and finally made his senior international debut under Jurgen Klinsmann in May 2016. Arriola then played a significant role in the Americans' run to the 2017 Gold Cup title, starting all three knockout round matches on the right side of Bruce Arena's 4-4-2.
Despite his national team status, Arriola isn't named on MLS's Allocation Ranking List, meaning DCU's access to the player wasn't subject to the allocation order. It was unclear Wednesday whether the Galaxy had homegrown player rights to Arriola and if so, how United acquired them.
(UPDATE: The LA Galaxy did indeed receive $500,000 in assorted allocation money from D.C. for Arriola's rights, which they maintained per MLS rules.)
Andrew Bershaw/Icon Sportswire/Getty Images
Arriola will join a team in transition, but one that finally appears to be heading in a promising direction. Even if United can't make the up the 13 points separating it from a fourth straight playoff berth, it'll head into its new stadium next year with some intriguing new faces. On Wednesday, DCU also was working to finalize the signing of midfielder Russell Canouse, who would arrive on a free transfer from Germany's TSG Hoffenheim. Canouse, 22, played for the same PA Classics club that produced Christian Pulisic before he joined the New York Red Bulls academy in 2009. The defensive midfielder spent 2016-17 on loan with 2. Bundesliga team VfL Bochum. He trained with D.C. on Wednesday.
Earlier Wednesday, United announced the expected addition of Hungarian attacking midfielder Zoltán Stieber, a left-sided attacker who represented his native country at last year's European Championship. The 28-year-old arrives from FC Kaiserslautern, his seventh German club. United also added 19-year-old forward Bruno Miranda–a Bolivian forward who was last with Universidad de Chile–and Jamaican striker Deshorn Brown, who was acquired in June. The club's roster shuffle has also included the offloading of veteran defender Bobby Boswell and attacker Lamar Neagle.

"It's always short term and long term," D.C. coach Ben Olsen told reporters Tuesday when asked to address the club's approach. "We think we're in some ways solving both of those issues with some of the quality that we're bringing in, the age…some of these players are and again, we'll continue to make moves over the next day or two to make us better now and creating momentum into next year."
The biggest move is now imminent, meaning United—which already was starting to build around a young core of Luciano Acosta, Ian Harkes, captain Steve Birnbaum and Kofi Opare—suddenly has become a team to watch.

Veterans Receive Free Cars

Three months ago, Peter Maher, owner of Mid Hudson Subaru, received a call from Elaine Trumpetto, Executive Director of The Council on Addiction Prevention and Education of Dutchess County (CAPE) and Subaru customer. Her family had a gift to give and needed help to get it done.
Elaine lost her husband of 36 years, John Trumpetto, when he died suddenly in September of 2016. As she and her daughter Brynna Trumpetto went through John's things they discovered he had once donated a car to the National Vietnam Veterans Association. They decided then to donate their two black Subaru Imprezas, valued around $5K each, to local veterans in his honor.
Elaine began the process of making calls and months went by with no outcome. That's when she thought to give Peter Maher a call. A longtime customer of Mid Hudson Subaru, she knew Peter's charitable reputation and thought he might be able to help.
Peter has long supported local veterans. In 2017, Mid Hudson Subaru presented the Hudson Valley Hero Project with a check for over $60,000 to support local active and retired veterans in need as part of the Subaru Share the Love initiative. Mid Hudson Subaru is proud to employ veterans as technicians, sales consultants and in other positions.
He reached out to Mike Hansen, a member of the Advisory Board of the Hudson Valley Veterans Alliance. Hansen immediately reached out to the folks he works with at HVVA and the local Vet2Vet Program to connect the Trumpetto family with local veterans in need of cars.
Mike's son, Tim Hansen of Mystic Towing, donated his time to pick up the two Imprezas, which had been sitting in the Trumpetto's driveway for over a year, and bring them to Mid Hudson Subaru. Peter asked for technicians to volunteer their time to work on getting the donated cars tuned up and ready for the road, and Scott Woomer, US Navy, and Jesus Rodriguez stepped forward.
Mid Hudson Subaru supplied the parts, at a cost of approximately $1500 for each car, and Scott and Jesus did the work in their spare time on nights and weekends.
Finally, the cars were fully detailed, inspected, topped with red bows, American car flags and colorful balloons, and parked in front of the dealership.
On Thursday, Dec. 20 at 3:30 PM Peter Maher had the honor of presenting a reconditioned Subaru Impreza, donated by the previous owner, Brynna Trumpetto, to Jayme Babon. A US Army veteran, National Guard Reservist and single mom, Jayme has been struggling to adjust back to civilian life and has been walking to work every day. Jayme welled up with tears as she expressed her surprise and gratitude, saying, "I am very blessed to have you all in my life... this will help myself and my son to move on, to move forward!"
A second Impreza, once belonging to Jared Trumpetto, is being donated to Kyle Feth, USMC, of Pleasant Valley. Kyle was unable to attend the event at Mid Hudson Subaru and exclaimed "you guys are really unbelievable!" as he broke down crying when he got the news via a phone call from the Vet2Vet Program under the direction of Adam Roche.
Everyone in attendance, including State Sen. Sue Serino and Marc Coviello, Director of Dutchess County Division of Veterans' Services, was visibly moved by the kindness and generosity of the people who made this happen, and especially by Jayme's genuine appreciation. After she started her new car, Jayme took the time to share hugs and handshakes.
"I just can't wait for my son to see me driving again... this is going to mean so much to him!" Jayme said.
"Thank you so much for getting us involved," Peter Maher said to Elaine Trumpetto. "It is truly an honor to have the opportunity to show our deep respect and appreciation for veterans this way, especially at this time of year."
He then turned to Jayme to say "Thank you for your service, and Merry Christmas!"

I recently caught the last few minutes of a video sermon from Robert Schuller's Crystal Cathedral mega-church. On this particular day, Schuller's son was giving the sermon, and it was emphasizing "the need to be saved". This went on for several minutes without mentioning what we are to be saved from. When he finally got around to mentioning it, the emphasis was on our need to be saved from "a lack of self esteem"!

Apple refreshes iPod Touch with faster A8 processor, 128GB model, and new colors
Mark Sullivan@thesullivan	 July 15, 2015 8:42 AM
Image Credit: Apple
Apple today upgraded its line of iPod music players with a host of new features, colors, and models, though the iPod Touch was the main focus for the refresh.
The new iPod Touch has a faster A8 processor, similar to what's used in the iPhone 6, and sports an 8-megapixel "iSight" camera. This represents the first major upgrade for the iPod Touch since 2012.
Additionally, the iPod Touch, Shuffle and Nano are all now available in gold, pink, and blue, as well as silver, red, and gray.
Above: iPod Touch
In terms of pricing, the new iPod Touch starts at $199 (16GB model), $249 (32GB model), and $299 (64GB model). However, there is also an all-new 128GB model for $399. With such a gargantuan amount of storage, who says the future of music is all about streaming? Well, Apple actually — the new iPod Touch also integrates with Apple's new subscription music service, Apple Music, including its (free) Beats 1 radio station.
The company hopes to continue selling the freestanding players even as they've been overshadowed and outsold by smartphones. The upgrade comes as a surprise to many, as iPods have been losing visibility in Apple's product line. The device family used to be a main product category on Apple's website, but it's now pretty hidden on the site.
Apple reported sales of just 2.6 million iPods in the final quarter of 2014, earning the company $410 million. That's just a tiny drop in the bucket of Apple's total revenues for the quarter — $42.1 billion. The majority of those profits came from iPhone sales.

Ellen Cook, James Stahl, Elizabeth Schwantes, Sameer Mathur, Neal Barney; PGD2 Promotes Eosinophil Chemotaxis, Degranulation and Syk Phosphorylation. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2013;54(15):2548.
Purpose: Eosinophils and their catabolic mediators are major features in the pathogenesis of allergic conjunctivitis, contributing to corneal damage in chronic disease. The prostaglandin, PGD2, which is released from activated mast cells, has recently been shown to promote eosinophil chemotaxis. The purpose of this study was to further examine the effects of PGD2 on activation of eosinophil pro-inflammatory processes (chemotaxis, degranulation, phosphorylation of spleen tyrosine kinase [Syk] and survival/viability).
Methods: Human purified peripheral blood eosinophils were obtained using negative immuno-magnetic bead selection. For most experiments, PGD2 was added at concentrations ranging from 0.1 - 1000 nM. For chemotaxis, eosinophils were added to the top compartment of 5.0 µm Transwell chambers, with either media or PGD2 added to the bottom for 1 hr after which eosinophils migrating to the bottom compartment were counted. For degranulation, eosinophils were stimulated with media or PGD2 for 4 hrs and supernates were harvested and evaluated for eosinophil derived neurotoxin using commercial ELISA. Flow cytometry was used for evaluation of Syk-phosphorylation, and trypan blue exclusion was used for evaluation of survival.
Results: Stimulation of eosinophils with PGD2 promoted chemotaxis (1.0 - 100 nM, n=6 subjects, p<0.05), and trended toward promoting degranulation (10, 100 nm, n=4 subjects, p=0.1) and phosphorylation of Syk (100 nM, n=2 subjects), but not survival or viability (n=3 subjects).
Conclusions: PGD2-mediated activation of eosinophils could play a role in eosinophil mediated processes in allergic conjunctivitis and, thus, presents a potential target for therapeutic intervention.


Group of 2 flashes every 10 seconds.
Black and white striped tower attached to a white house with red roof. Heigth 25 m.
Designed by Emili Pou and opened on December 31, 1863. This lighthouse was included in Emili Pou's proposals to build a series of lighthouses not included in the General Plan of 1847. The first light used a fixed lens for 6th order lighthouses and an olive oil burning lamp. In 1917 clockwork panels were installed to produce a pattern of occultations (3+4 every 20 seconds) using an acetylene lamp. In 1965 the light was converted to electricity emitting a pattern of two white flashes every 10 seconds, using a catadioptric lens from the Tramontana lighthouse. In 1996 solar power was introduced and the rotating optic was replaced by a catadioptric horizon lens. The height of the original tower was raised on two occasions, once in 1918 when it was raised by 6m at the same time as the lantern was replaced and again in 1965 when the tower was raised by 10m when it was being converted to electricity. There were many shipwrecks in the environs of the lighthouse; as was the case of two Mallorcan catboats on the 20th July 1874 and on the 12th July 1875. In 1882 the lighthouse keepers rescued a vessel owned by Miguel Estela SA, running a cargo of liquor and other goods. Whenever a vessel was seen to be in trouble in the vicinity of the lighthouse, the keepers would raise a white flag and blow a conch shell to warn the guards in the harbour. In 1925 a second storey was added to the dwelling area. On the 6th November 1937 the lighthouse was occupied by a military detachment including German officers. In April 2010 the optic retired in 1996 was being restored and enhanced and will soon see service again.

Threatened and Endangered Species: Golden-Cheeked Warbler & Black-Capped Vireo
by Gary Newgord
The golden-cheeked warbler (Setophaga chrysoparia) and the black-capped vireo (Vireo atricapilla) are two species of small, insectivorous birds facing the threat of population decline due to habitat destruction.
Noted for being the only bird species to nest exclusively in Texas, the golden-cheeked warbler resides in the Ashe juniper-oak woodlands of central Texas and is typically found nesting in the area's steep-sided canyons, ravines and adjacent uplands. Golden-cheeked warblers arrive in Texas in mid-March to nest and raise their young, then begin migrating south in July to spend the winter in Mexico and Central America.
While golden-cheeked warblers breed solely in Texas's woodland habitat, the black-capped vireo prefers nesting in patchy shrubs, like shin oak and sumac, that can be found in parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Mexico. Beginning in late March, black-capped vireos arrive at their breeding habitat to nest until August, then start migrating to Mexico for the winter.
Evaluating Project Sites Through Surveys
Many researchers have indicated that the population decline of both the golden-cheeked warbler and black-capped vireo is the result of destruction and fragmentation of the species' breeding habitats. The juniper-oak woodlands that golden-cheeked warblers rely on, along with the black-capped vireo's shrubland habitat, are being cleared for various agricultural and construction projects.
With the growing threats to habitat, and with population declines, many projects throughout central Texas are required to conduct presence/absence surveys for golden-cheeked warblers and black-capped vireos as a way of determining if the species are present at a specific project site. These surveys can often significantly impact project schedules because surveying is permitted only during certain times of the year to minimize potential impacts to the birds.
Current U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) survey protocol establishes March 15-June 1 as the designated season for golden-cheeked warbler surveying — with the requirement that no less than 60 percent of surveys can be conducted before May 15. For the black-capped vireo, the surveying season runs from April 10 through July 1, with at least 50 percent of surveys required to be conducted before May 15.
Along with these scheduling requirements, potential project sites must be surveyed five times by a USFWS Section 10(a) federally permitted individual — with no two surveys occurring within a five-day period. During these presence/absence surveys, if a project site is confirmed as being occupied by either the golden-cheeked warbler or black-capped vireo, the species and its habitat is protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
During the breeding season — March 1-Aug. 31 — the USFWS recommends establishing a 300-foot buffer between the occupied golden-cheeked warbler/black-capped vireo habitat and construction activities like driving construction equipment, drilling, clearing, etc., and refraining from these activities unless they are initiated prior to March 1 and if the construction disturbance is continuous.
Endangered Status
Although the golden-cheeked warbler and black-capped vireo were listed as endangered in May 1990 under an emergency rule (55 FR 18844), there was recently a petition to the USFWS to delist the golden-cheeked warbler, citing 25 years of additional studies showing that the amount of warbler habitat and population is much greater than originally thought. On June 2, 2016 the USFWS found that the petition to delist the golden-cheeked warbler from the ESA did not present substantial information warranting the delisting.
The black-capped vireo was also listed as endangered in October 1987 without critical habitat (52 FR 37420-37423). The USFWS completed a status review of the species on June 19, 2007, and recommended that the black-capped vireo be downlisted from 'endangered' to 'threatened' status. Additionally, on Sept. 9, 2013 the USFWS recommended in a 90-day finding to reclassify the black-capped vireo from 'endangered' to 'threatened'.
For now, the golden-cheeked warbler's status remains clear, but the black-capped vireo's future on the endangered list is unclear, which is why you need to know how to handle ongoing conservation efforts going forward.
Habitat surveys can help determine if a project within the golden-cheeked warbler/black-capped vireo range could adversely affect the species or potentially ESA protected habitat.
Unsure if your project is affected? We have a team of threatened and endangered species specialists who can assess a project's potential impact on golden-cheeked warblers and black-capped vireos, and can offer a variety of survey and mitigation options. If you'd like to learn more, comment below.

Annotation: Using a criminological and computer-science examination of multiple data sets, this study examined the social and technical aspects of the creation, distribution, and use of bots, which constitute a new form of malicious code used by computer hackers and attackers to perpetrate costly computer crimes.
Abstract: The analysis of the functions and activity of 13 bots in a simulated computing environment indicates that they had significant impacts on the system by changing system protocols, including adding and removing files, dlls, and registry information. Two of these bots also attempted to download other executable programs hosted on both Web sites, including a compromised server hosting a legitimate business Web site in the United States. All of the bots attempted to connect to Internet Relay Chat (IRC) command and control servers around the world. Nine of the bots were able to connect to the IRC command and control channel, and four required a password to log in to the channel. Five of the bots were able to connect to the channel and received commands to scan other systems online, participate in denial-of-service attacks, infect other systems, and open communication sessions with other computers. The creation and sale of bots and malware were examined through a qualitative examination of 909 threads from 10 publicly accessible Web forums in Eastern Europe and Russia designed to facilitate the creation, sale, and purchase of malware and hacking instruments. An examination of the ads posted in these forums demonstrated that a service economy has developed to facilitate cybercrime, particularly in the sale of malware. Malware was the most prevalent item sold in these forums, composing 34 percent of the total sale-related threads. Individuals requested or sold bots, trojan horse programs, encryption tools, and iframe malware uploading and downloading services.


– How to achieve branding using design?
Consistency is the key to branding. We drive the end user to build a perception of our brand through design. If there is a disconnect in a medium or between digital and physical communication or design, the ability to identify our brand is lost.
A repeated systematic approach will provide the solution to business branding. It is a journey not a process that is definitive.
Imagination + Creativity + Empathy + Innovation results in Value creation.
Along with these components, conducting a SWOT analysis will help in market segmentation and identifying targets. It gives an outline to a pragmatic and holistic approach.
Semiotics – the study of symbols opens more avenues in terms of design as these are based on language and culture. Human Psychology + Semiotics lead to solution building – a spot where design plays a pivotal role.
In recent years, symbols have replaced text. Symbols indicate, designate, and process the visuals. This results in creating a likeness, providing an analogy and acts as a metaphor for the objects that symbol represent.
A culmination of the above-mentioned aspect(s) leads to clarity, consistency and credibility of branding.
Thus, Branding is automatically achieved when we focus on the solution as opposed to the problem.
– Digital Transformation: What will be the role of a design in this next big thing?
As we know, design facilitates that oneness in tone and thinking. To me, being able to change what we do and how we do forms the crux of digital transformation. Design plays the crucial role in being able to set the tone, track and deliver it.
Design is constantly evolving with time and technology-your task is to take puzzle pieces and make the final picture without knowing how it should look. The key isn't gathering a lot of pieces, it's gathering all the right pieces.
Mapping and analysing, an activity reliant on design, is the underlying factor that lets you take stock of the direction you're moving toward. Furthermore, demographics and psychographics play a key role in deciding how we go about designing change.
People might think design to be as simple as creating fancy logos with Photoshop or any other software you can get your hands on but what they don't realize is all the back-end work that goes into the final product which conveys the innate depth of a company's mission and vision.
– According to you, what are the factors to consider when balancing content and design to deliver the best product?
Content dictates the design form. We are amid multitudes of communication channels such Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Pinterest etc. Each of these mediums have developed a form of presentation and content for itself. So much so that when we colloquially say, 'write a tweet', people understand that it is within 280 characters. Thus, social media has given a whole new meaning to the term 'in a nut shell.' And design wise, 1080 x 1080 has become the new informal standard for pictures on Facebook and Twitter whereas WhatsApp and Snapchat are a whole new ball game.
Freedom and the kind of work we do decides what we design or how we design. A newspaper design depends on the content, an advertisement can be designed to be bold and bright. In the same scenario, content will be in-depth in a newspaper and very minimal for an ad. The best of both worlds can be achieved when we know the end product we are working towards delivering.
Also, they work in tangent to one another and cannot function independently.
To be able to deliver quality content, we need to accurately plan out how we convey what we convey – should the design be bold and represent our company culture or should it play second fiddle to text which will drive the background design.
As long as we are clear on this aspect, we can always deliver the best of both worlds. Like I said, content and design are very much interdependent.

The confident capital of one of Europe's largest nations, Warsaw is hardly short of things to do. Almost totally destroyed in World War II, the city's Old Town, New Town, Krakowskie Przedmieście and Nowy Świat areas have been reconstructed so beautifully it's hard to believe they're not centuries old.
Many of Warsaw's hotels cluster in the central Śródmieście district, providing easy access to the city's main attractions.
Looking to get a last-minute break in before the Christmas rush or perhaps you fancy a spot of early winter sun? We've gathered together our top picks for where to go in November, from Peru to Poland, Costa Rica to South Africa.
See where the Solidarity Movement started in northern Gdansk and find the bullet-scarred remains of the Warsaw Uprising. Explore the southern city of Krakow with its Jewish legacy and make sure you try some authentic bagels washed down with a glass of vodka. South of Krakow is the year-long rural playground, the Tatra Mountains.
Head straight for Wawel Castle and the old Jewish quarter of Kazimierz in Krakow. Marvel at Warsaw's totally reconstructed, UNESCO-listed Old Town and its excellent Rising Museum. Hunt for amber on the Baltic Sea shores around the port city of Gdansk. Or visit Wroclaw – an engaging city with Gothic towers that is currently undergoing something of a comeback.
Travel around the country involves passing through many villages. The most beautiful are in the Tatra Mountains in the south where Zakopane lures the crowds for some serious apres ski. In summer, you can hike or fish on lakes and rivers. And the crystal clear waters and beautiful white sandy beaches at Gdansk and Sopot will pleasantly surprise you.

About USS Midway Museum
910 North Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA 92101, US
Preserve the historic USS Midway and the legacy of those who serve, inspire and educate future generations, and entertain our museum guests.
The USS Midway Museum is an adventure for the entire family! Explore over 60 exhibits & 27 restored aircraft aboard an authentic US Navy Aircraft Carrier. Located in downtown San Diego.
The USS Midway Museum started in 1992 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit business, and opened as a museum in 2004. Since then, the Midway has become one of the top tourist destinations in Southern California, and the most visited ship museum in the United States.
The USS Midway served in the US Navy from 1945-1992, making it the longest serving aircraft carrier in naval history. The museum employs dioramas, audio/visual technology, and volunteer docents, many of which served on the Midway, to help guests better understand what life was like for those who served on board.
The museum also has full-motion flight simulators, a cafe and gift shop, and is conveniently located in one of the most beautiful spots in San Diego.
The Midway also has a top-notch education program and is heavily involved in the community and in programs that support our men and women in uniform. In her short time in operation, the USS Midway Museum aims to become recognized as America's Living Symbol of Freedom.
