Mary Thornycroft (née Francis; 1809 – 1 February 1895) was a British sculptor who sculpted many different busts, fragments and statues. She frequently choose infants and children as her subjects and was commissioned by Queen Victoria to create a number of statues and portraits of her children and other members of the Royal Family. Several of these are now in the British Royal Collection.

Biography
The daughter of sculptor John Francis and his wife Mary, Thornycroft was born at Thornham in Norfolk. She studied sculpture under her father, and first exhibited a work, a bust of him, at the Royal Academy in London in 1835, aged 21. Her 1839 exhibition piece, The Orphan Flowergirl received good reviews.

In 1840, she married Thomas Thornycroft, a student of her father. The couple travelled to Italy and lived and worked in Rome for some years. While in Rome, Mary Thornycroft became friends with the sculptors Bertel Thorvaldsen and John Gibson. On her return to London, Gibson recommended her services to Queen Victoria. Gibson's recommendation marked the beginning of a sequence of royal commissions for Thornycroft lasting from 1844 to 1877. These included The Four Seasons, a series of life-size statues of Victoria's children that were much praised and reproduced as engravings and in several art journals. The drawing-room at Osborne House contained nine life-size marble statues of the young princes and princesses that were modeled by Thornycroft. She also created busts of the Queen in 1840, of the Duchess of Gloucester and, in 1846, of the Prince of Wales. Her 1863 bust of Princess Alexandra, Princess of Wales was reproduced in Parian ware for the domestic retail market.

Thornycroft also executed a number of busts of private individuals, as well as a few ideal statues. Among the latter is her figure of a Skipping Girl. She was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy from 1835 until 1871 and at the British Institution from 1845 to 1864.

Mary Thornycroft's primary artistic practice was sculpture in marble and sometimes bronze. Her style was naturalistic with details that displayed the personal expressions of her subjects. As a woman her commissions were limited therefore, she capitalized on her craft on subjects that were easily reachable for her to study, notably infants and children. This was an advantage because this is how she gained her notable royal commissions. She worked with her husband on a frequent basis making attribution of individual pieces sometimes difficult. It is known that the couple, along with their son Hamo Thornycroft, worked together during 1875 on The Poets' Fountain at Hyde Park Corner in central London and which was damaged beyond repair in a World War II air raid.

Thornycroft gave sculpting lessons to Princess Louise who was one of Queen Victoria's daughters and who became a notable sculptor in her own right.

Family
The Thornycrofts had six children who grew to adulthood, two sons (Hamo and John Isaac), and four daughters (Alyce, Theresa, Helen and Frances). Hamo Thornycroft became a sculptor while daughters Alyce, Theresa Thornycroft, and Helen Thornycroft became artists. John Isaac Thornycroft became a marine engineer. The Thornycrofts were the grandparents of Siegfried Sassoon, the war poet, through their daughter Theresa, who married Alfred Ezra Sassoon.

Fundsters that are trying to get a handle on the "quiet, methodical approach" to leadership of Fidelity's [profile] Abby Johnson should take a look at this morning's Wall Street Journal.
The paper's Kirsten Grind takes a deep dive into how the Fido scion "is quietly reshaping" her father's Boston Behemoth, six months into her rein as CEO. As one "longtime Fidelity client" puts it in the article, "You definitely want to find out what Abby's thinking. It's probably well worth knowing."
Sadly, Abby herself, and her father Ned Johnson (still Fido's chairman), did not speak to the WSJ for the article. Yet a host of on- and off-the-record Fidelity clients, former insiders, and more all chimed in for the article. And in contrast with the more press-shy Fidelity during Ned's days, several current key Fidelity executives, including director Michael Wilens and equity division president Brian Hogan, even spoke to the paper on the record.
"She doesn't need to be one of those rock star CEOs," Wilens said to the WSJ.
The article focuses a lot of attention on the recent dominance (in terms of inflows) of passive asset management, and wonders about how Abby will handle that given Fidelity has huge active asset management business. Yet the paper also highlights Abby's focus on streamlining the company and its operations, and her efforts "to position the company as a larger financial-services firm, away from its mutual fund heritage." Indeed, Fidelity is the largest defined contribution plan provider around, and a huge online brokerage and back-office financial advisor ally, among many other things.
The article is also full of contrasts between daughter and father, as well as a host of tidbits and anecdotes about both. Some notable stories mentioned include: Abby launching a review of the businesses within Fidelity's Devonshire Investors private equity division; her frequent site visits with the Boston Behemoth's rank-and-file, including one when an employee gave Abby a Halloween pumpkin carved with Abby's portrait; a recent Boys and Girls Club of Boston event at Abby's Back Bay apartment, where "she sat quietly at a table" while her husband, a private equity guy, "chatted up guests"; Ned's grandfather clock collection, several hundred in total; a meeting where Abby asked her top executives "If you had $300 million to spend on the business, what would you invest it in?"; and Abby's failed 2004 attempt to oust her dad. The article is a must-read for any Fidelity watcher.

A renowned MIT physicist and energy policy leader, Dr. Ernest Moniz served as the secretary of energy under President Barack Obama, where he focused on promoting energy technology innovation and advancing "all-of-the-above" energy initiatives and was a key architect of the Iran nuclear deal.
A physicist and foremost expert in energy technology and policy and a longtime professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Dr. Ernest Moniz served as the 13th U.S. secretary of energy in President Obama's second term. During his tenure, Dr. Moniz advanced American scientific leadership, energy technology innovation, environmental stewardship, and nuclear security and strategic stability. Notably, he was a primary architect of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, an agreement to verifiably prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, thereby advancing important U.S. nuclear nonproliferation goals. To do so, Dr. Moniz partnered with Secretary of State John Kerry and other world leaders and negotiated directly with Iranian nuclear officials to conclude the deal and then to guide successful implementation for its first 18 months. In the run-up to the Paris climate negotiations, he led the successful effort to place energy technology innovation at the heart of the global response to climate change.
As secretary of energy, Dr. Moniz spearheaded partnerships between the public and private sectors in order to bolster U.S. global leadership in scientific, technological, environmental, and energy innovation. He led the effort to develop modern energy security principles appropriate to today's energy markets, adopted by the G7 leaders in 2014, and approved U.S. exports into an expanding global LNG market. Dr. Moniz effected significant management change at the Department of Energy, an organization with a nearly $30 billion annual budget, emphasizing enterprise-wide approaches for mission success and a major focus on resilient energy infrastructure. At MIT, he led technology and policy studies on the future of nuclear, natural gas, coal, and solar energy in a low-carbon world. These studies have had significant impact on government energy policy and programs. Dr. Moniz founded the MIT Energy Initiative that engaged numerous faculty from multiple disciplines with global energy companies. He will continue to address nuclear security issues through his role as co-chairman and CEO of the Nuclear Threat Initiative. In 2017, Dr. Moniz became president and CEO of the Energy Futures Initiative, a non-profit organization aimed at advancing a cleaner, safer, more affordable, and more secure energy future.

Q: Adding one hash table to another based on a common value Windows has two PowerShell commands for getting information about Disks Get-PhysicalDisk and Get-Disk.
I running the command Get-PhysicalDisk and then trying to append the output of the command with the result from Get-Disk using a common value that exists in the output of both commands, this value is SerialNumber.
I'm convinced this is a simple hash table requirement I can't wrap my head around it.
$PhysicalDisks = Get-PhysicalDisk |
                 Select OperationalStatus, HealthStatus, BusType, FriendlyName,
                     Manufacturer, SerialNumber
foreach ($Disk in $PhysicalDisks) {
    $AdditionalDiskInfo = Get-Disk |
                          Where SerialNumber -eq $_.SerialNumber |
                          select PartitionStyle, ProvisioningType,
                              NumberOfPartitions, Signature

    # I know this isn't anywhere near correct, I'm just trying to explain my
    # end goal :)
    #$PhysicalDisks + $AdditionalDiskInfo |
    #    Where $PhysicalDisks.SerialNumber -eq $AdditionalDiskInfo.SerialNumber
}

My expected result would be the combining of this:

PS> Get-PhysicalDisk | Select OperationalStatus, HealthStatus, BusType,
FriendlyName, Manufacturer, SerialNumber
OperationalStatus : OK
HealthStatus      : Healthy
BusType           : SATA
FriendlyName      : KINGSTON SV310S37A960G
Manufacturer      :
SerialNumber      : 50026B724800A34E

and this:

PS> Get-Disk | Where SerialNumber -eq "50026B724800A34E" | select PartitionStyle, ProvisioningType, NumberOfPartitions, Signature | Format-list
PartitionStyle     : MBR
ProvisioningType   : Fixed
NumberOfPartitions : 2
Signature          : 1364200743

to give me this:

OperationalStatus : OK
HealthStatus      : Healthy
BusType           : SATA
FriendlyName      : KINGSTON SV310S37A960G
Manufacturer      :
SerialNumber      : 50026B724800A34E
PartitionStyle    : MBR
ProvisioningType  : Fixed
NumberOfPartitions: 2
Signature         : 1364200743

A: You could build custom objects in your loop like this:
foreach ($Disk in $PhysicalDisks) {
    $info = Get-Disk |
            Where-Object { $Disk.SerialNumber -eq $_.SerialNumber.Trim() }

    New-Object -Type PSObject -Property @{
        'OperationalStatus'  = $Disk.OperationalStatus
        'HealthStatus'       = $Disk.HealthStatus
        'BusType'            = $Disk.BusType
        'FriendlyName'       = $Disk.FriendlyName
        'Manufacturer'       = $Disk.Manufacturer
        'SerialNumber'       = $Disk.SerialNumber
        'PartitionStyle'     = $info.PartitionStyle
        'ProvisioningType'   = $info.ProvisioningType
        'NumberOfPartitions' = $info.NumberOfPartitions
        'Signature'          = $info.Signature
    }
}

However, it'd probably simpler to create a hashtable mapping serial numbers to Get-Disk data, and then add the relevant information as calculated properties where you look up the information by serial number.
$info = @{}
Get-Disk | ForEach-Object {
    $info[$_.SerialNumber.Trim()] = $_
}

Get-PhysicalDisk |
    Select-Object OperationalStatus, HealthStatus, BusType, FriendlyName,
        Manufacturer, SerialNumber,
        @{n='PartitionStyle';e={$info[$_.SerialNumber].PartitionStyle}},
        @{n='ProvisioningType';e={$info[$_.SerialNumber].ProvisioningType}},
        @{n='NumberOfPartitions';e={$info[$_.SerialNumber].NumberOfPartitions}},
        @{n='Signature';e={$info[$_.SerialNumber].Signature}}

Comhairle nan Eilean Siar is to write to OFGEM to seek clarity on reduced SSE tariffs which appear to no longer be available.
Comhairle Leader, Cllr Angus Campbell, said: "Week beginning 6th July, SSE made some new tariffs available, one of which was to charge 10.878p per kwh, a significant reduction on the existing standard tariff from SSE (15.61p).
"On further inspection, we were informed that SSE had introduced another new tariff; a one year fixed price Total Heating Total Control (THTC) tariff – 7.27p heat and 14.42p standard inc VAT – significantly lower than the current tariff.
"When SSE were contacted, they said that the tariff was no longer available and that it was only available to a limited number of customers.
"Effectively SSE offered new reduced tariffs for a limited period of time and those who benefited from these were not those most in need of assistance. Is this appropriate practice and behaviour for a company?


Gender is not important enough for us to be constantly emphasizing it in language. If you disagree, you may find Hofstadter's Person Paper on Purity in Language convincing. How can we get gender out of our language?
Over the last generation we have made some progress in this direction. The title 'Ms.' is now widely accepted, though it has not supplanted 'Mrs./Miss'. 'Firefighter' has almost caught up to 'fireman'. People my age will commonly use singular 'they' in situations that people my parents age find a little peculiar and 'themself' is on the rise (though 'singular they' is not new). Is there anything I can easily do to move us further?

I suspect most readers will be pretty much fine with the first one and completely reject the last one. For me I'm mostly fine up until the "unspecific gendered" referent, though the previous category can be a little iffy. But that there is a gradation suggests a strategy for increasing the range of acceptable usage for singular they: try to move a little further along the gradation than you feel totally comfortable, and perhaps it will start sounding more reasonable to you and the people around you. Eventually we end up with an ungendered pronoun we can use in all circumstances.
Update 2012-08-07: added the "specific unknown-gender ungendered" category.
Update 2014-08-06: I just talked to an intern at work who doesn't hear anything wrong with "Mike needs to check their code in" where "their" refers back to "Mike". This coworker's model of "they" is "it's sometimes singular and sometimes plural, depending on context." This is good.
Update 2014-11-17: #3 and #4 of "unspecific gendered" now sound completely fine with me.

Triumph Definition: Uncovering Long-Thought Lost Cinematic Artworks
Andre Soares 14 years ago
"Triumph" definition: Discovering long-thought lost cinematic works, such as the (coincidentally titled) Joseph De Grasse-directed 1917 drama Triumph, starring Dorothy Phillips and featuring future Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer superstar Lon Chaney in one of his earlier film appearances. The other man in the photo is William Stowell.
Tonight at the Academy's Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood:
Triumph (1917) and The Blood Ship (1927), two recently rediscovered silent films that were once thought to be either totally or partially lost, will be screened as part of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' "Lost and Found" series tonight, Oct. 11, at 7:30 p.m. at the Linwood Dunn. The screenings are a result of the latest preservation efforts by the Academy Film Archive. The program will feature live piano accompaniment by the always reliable Michael Mortilla.
Starring Dorothy Phillips, then a major star, and a pre-stardom Lon Chaney, Triumph is the story of an actress (Phillips) in love with a playwright (Chaney). Nothing too exciting thus far, but enters the stage manager (William J. Dyer) who decides to blackmail the poor actress for her affections.
It's curious that in Triumph Dyer plays the type of role that Chaney would make his own in the 1920s: the ugly guy who longs for but can't get the pretty girl. So he becomes mean, mean, mean, or mad, mad, mad – sometimes both, usually to great effect. (Right photo: Dorothy Phillips and Triumph leading man William Stowell.)
Joseph De Grasse directed this melodrama from Fred Myton's adaptation of a story by Samuel Hopkins Adams.
As per the Academy's press release, "with the loss of many of Chaney's earliest films, the rediscovery of the first three reels of Triumph sheds welcome light on the actor's early career. Photographs and title cards have been added to complete the story."

Cinecon Overview: Festival of Rare Movies' Eclectic Line-Up
With the recent discovery of its final reel, The Blood Ship will be screening in its entirety for the first time since its original release 80 years ago.
Set in the high seas, the story – with several elements in common with The Sea Wolf – follows a man of a certain age (Hobart Bosworth) searching for his kidnapped daughter after serving time in prison for a crime he did not commit. He boards a ship ruled by the ruthless Captain Swope (Walter James), who claims to be the father of a pretty young woman (Jacqueline Logan, Mary Magdalene in Cecil B. DeMille's The King of Kings).
Based on a novel by Norman Springer, The Blood Ship also stars Richard Arlen (one of the principals in the first film to win a Best Picture – or rather, "Best Production" – Academy Award, Wings).
The Blood Ship was directed by George B. Seitz, from a screenplay adaptation by J. O. Taylor, Harry Davis, and Fred Myton.
(Is this gonna be a Fred Myton evening? Who was this man? I just checked on the IMDb: Myton wrote about a zillion B movies, from the 1910s to the 1950s.)

Speaking of "lost and found," Andre. The long-lost Life Story of David Lloyd George (1918) by Maurice Elvey, which Kevin Brownlow called the "find of the century," is being shown at Fflics (October 25-27), a Welsh film festival that explores the depiction of Welshness in-or the contributions of the Welsh to-classic cinema. (Remember our thoughts on Claudette in the radio version of The Corn Is Green?).
Aside from the obvious Hollywood/British fare (such as Corn, How Green Was My Valley, The Citadel, and Carol Reed's The Stars Look Down), the offerings include Proud Valley (with Paul Robeson), two silent films starring Ivor Novello, WWII propaganda, 1920s cartoons, late 19th-century documentary footage, and the aforementioned Life Story. Noted silent screen composers (including our friend Neil Brand) will be at the festival. I thought you might be interested in mentioning it.

Taimba: "We are all one"
Nieuwsoverzicht 26 mei 2020
Nearly 50% of harvested fruit and vegetables in Kenya is lost before it even reaches the customer, due to fragmented and uninformed supply chains. That means for every avocado you eat, one has been lost. At the same time a large portion of the population suffers from malnutrition and food insecurity. By building and scaling local, commercial companies that radically improve professionalism and efficiency across the domestic fruit and vegetable value chain, FoodFlow has the audacious goal to reduce this number from 50% to 0. Since this year the program has begun building and testing solutions. One of the companies within FoodFlow that is being built in this food chain, with the support of the DOEN Foundation, is Taimba. Where on average it takes six transactions for produce to get from farmer to consumer, Taimba radically rethinks this supply chain providing predictable demand by directly connecting farmers to sellers. Esther is one of these sellers and, as part of Taimba's team, Brian delivers produce to her. Together they give us a peek into what the daily impact is of Covid-19 on their work and lives.
Always on time
"I source all my fruits and vegetables from Taimba," Esther says confidently. "You can confirm with Ruto, I always buy from him. Si ndio Ruto (Is it true Ruto)?" Brian Ruto gives a nod and confirms with a smile, "I am a sales representative with Taimba in charge of the Kiambu Route of which Esther Njeri is one of my good customers."
"I buy from Taimba because they are fairly priced and bring to us produce that is of good quality," Esther continues. "The most important thing is that they deliver on time. I no longer have to worry about waking up early in the wee hours of the morning to go the market myself to make direct purchases and that time is now better used bonding with my family."
Brian on the road to his customers
"I have been in business for the last 12 years, but the last 2 months have been very difficult for my business and our family," Esther elates sadly. "The situation in Kenya during these Covid times is very difficult for small scale traders like me. Most of my customers, about 80% of them, are now purchasing from me in credit and I am not sure if they will be able to pay me in good time to purchase new stocks. But these are customers I have known for such a long time and I cannot deny them food. Life has become very difficult for me because we are now digging into our savings to support the business. I am not sure how long we will be able to survive."
As a start-up directly supplying to small scale vendors like Esther, Taimba in turn feels the effects of the decline in sales. "A lot of our mama mbogas have closed shop because of the prevailing circumstances. I used to for example sell a total of 12 sacks of potatoes per day, but currently I am struggling to even sell 3," Brian illustrates. "Taimba is coping by diversifying its sales channels. I see opportunities to grow our online business segment as well as a steady increase with our home delivery business."
Esther makes sure her customers have food
"But I am grateful for health and a job at Taimba at a time when things are difficult for many people across Kenya, and that is why I continue to serve with a smile even when business is not very forthcoming," he says looking at the silver lining. "My hope for the future is that this pandemic unites us as a people across the globe. I hope that it makes us see that we are all one no matter our race, profession or country."
Brian is grateful to have work
Esther is also very hopeful for the future and continues to dream out loud: "This current situation is not permanent, and I believe it shall pass. My ambition is that if my business goes back to normal, I can start saving again and enable my children to go to a better school. My husband and I are also working towards purchasing a plot so that we can eventually settle in our own home!"
FoodFlow is a business-intervention program of Enviu, an impact-driven venture building studio active since 2004. The DOEN Foundation supports Enviu via the programme Circular Entrepreneurship and Taimba via the programme Sustainable Food System.

Nana Kwasi Opoku Mintah, Chief of Kwahu Tafo in Afram Plains, has thanked the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, for visiting the Afram Plains North constituency by road, and seeing for himself the nature of the road network.
In his remarks, he thanked President Akufo-Addo for energising Ghanaian youth across the country with his Free Senior High School policy. This policy, he added, has given Ghanaian youth the opportunity to chart progressive futures for themselves.


Will Scott Pruitt's allies in Congress turn against him? Will the embattled EPA chief apologize? Will President Trump tweet about the performance?
These are some of the themes to look for as Pruitt heads to the House today for back-to-back hearings that are certain to turn into a media spectacle. This will be Pruitt's first congressional appearance since headlines about mounting scandals and ethical missteps have piled up in recent weeks.
Pruitt will start the day in a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing before heading to a House Appropriations subcommittee in the afternoon. The doubleheader gives House members the chance to publicly grill Pruitt about spending on his travel, security and $50-per-day condo deal, among other concerns. It'll also give Pruitt the chance to publicly make his case for keeping his job as critics — including some Republicans in Congress — call for his ouster.
Do Republicans have his back?
Some Republicans have openly slammed Pruitt for his spending at the agency, but it'll be notable if GOP lawmakers broadly pile on the criticism about the ethics allegations.
Fiscally conservative Republicans who support Pruitt's policy agenda may join their Democratic colleagues in chiding Pruitt for his use of taxpayer cash.
Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.), chairman of the Energy and Commerce subcommittee hosting Pruitt this morning, signaled that Republicans on the committee won't stick just to policy — discussions Pruitt would likely prefer to ethics issues.
Pruitt's prepared remarks deal entirely with policy and budget talking points, skirting ethics and spending allegations entirely (Greenwire, April 25).
"I think you'll hear people ask him about policy and stewardship of his office," Shimkus told E&E News yesterday. He declined to say whether he thinks Pruitt ought to be fired.
The Illinois Republican said he hadn't been asked by the White House to temper criticism of Pruitt. Bloomberg reported earlier this week that White House officials cautioned GOP lawmakers against defending the EPA boss.
"It's my subcommittee. They haven't talked to me," Shimkus said.
Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.), chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, declined to detail his line of questioning for the administrator.
"We'll have an opportunity to address the issues that have been raised and talk about policy," he said. "He serves at the pleasure of the president."
Pruitt still has some stalwart supporters in the House GOP ranks, including House Science, Space and Technology Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas). Smith visited EPA headquarters earlier this week when Pruitt rolled out plans to reform science at the agency — one of Smith's longtime legislative goals.
Asked whether he's worried about Pruitt's future, Smith said, "No, he's doing a great job, I think."
Smith's committee won't be among those grilling the EPA boss today, but the Texas Republican expects Pruitt to have "good answers" for ethics questions raised by his colleagues. "They're just that, they're allegations, and I think we need to hear what he has to say, and I think there will be good explanations."
To date, Pruitt has deflected criticism of his first-class flights onto his security team and blamed his staff for the hefty bonuses approved (and later revoked) for two favored aides who came with him from Oklahoma.
The New York Times reported yesterday that the administrator is likely to continue to avoid personal responsibility today. A prep sheet obtained by the newspaper revealed that Pruitt plans to say career and political staff were responsible for the raises to staffers and his security team required him to fly first and business class.
If he does, Pruitt will be repeating the same approach he used in an April 4 interview with Fox News' Ed Henry, largely seen as damaging to Pruitt. In that interview, Pruitt stated he was unaware of the raises at the time they were approved.
"I found out this yesterday, and I corrected the action, and we are in the process of finding out how it took place and correcting it," Pruitt told Henry. Pruitt's chief of staff, Ryan Jackson, later took responsibility for the substantial raises and backed up the administrator's statement (Greenwire, April 10).
In addition to questions from Congress, Pruitt is facing a series of investigations into misuse of funds and power from EPA's inspector general's office and the Government Accountability Office. The White House is also looking into Pruitt's actions, although officials have declined to provide details (Climatewire, April 25).
Pruitt observers are keeping a close eye on the president's Twitter feed to see how Trump responds to his EPA administrator's performance today.
The last time Trump tweeted about Pruitt was on April 7, just a few days after the administrator's Fox News interview. At that point, he defended Pruitt's actions.
"While Security spending was somewhat more than his predecessor, Scott Pruitt has received death threats because of his bold actions at EPA. Record clean Air & Water while saving USA Billions of Dollars. Rent was above market rate, travel expenses OK. Scott is doing a great job!"
The president has remained largely silent on the administrator since then, although White House staffers believe Pruitt will soon be fired, according to a White House official (E&E News PM, April 24).
Democrats and environmental groups are turning up the pressure on the administrator in the lead-up to the hearing. Yesterday, EPA union members joined members of Congress and environmental and public health groups outside EPA's Washington, D.C., headquarters to call for the president to fire Pruitt.
Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) was among those rallying outside the agency.
"In my perfect world, the president would fire [Pruitt]," he told E&E News.
"But I don't expect that necessarily moves us in the right direction on the environment because the [Deputy] Administrator [Andrew] Wheeler moves right in, a coal lobbyist. For that reason, for me as an environmentalist, I don't think the regulatory environment is going to suddenly improve with Scott Pruitt gone," he added.
Does climate change come up?
Pruitt and his allies would prefer to steer the conversation toward policy, meaning his work to roll back climate regulations could get some attention today.
Today's hearings coincide with the final day to comment on a proposed repeal of the Clean Power Plan, an Obama-era rule aimed at controlling greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. Many of the more than 19,000 public comments are highly critical of the agency's plan to ax the rule.
Pruitt's own prepared remarks for the Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing make no mention of the Clean Power Plan repeal or replacement actions. They do, however, discuss funding for the popular Energy Star program, which certifies the energy efficiency of various products. EPA is asking Congress for the authority to fund Energy Star through fees, a year after it faced fierce backlash for zeroing out funding for the program.
He also plans to highlight efforts to fund "core work" in air and water quality, as well as initiatives to remove lead from drinking water and to clean up Superfund sites.
Some Democrats want Pruitt to be grilled on policy, too.
"The things we really care about are not the phone booth or the first-class travel to New York or Boston, it's the dismantling of the environmental regulatory system put in place by Democrats and Republicans over the last 46 years," Beyer told E&E in a recent interview.

I'm writing a C program that executes some OS functions via pipes. The execution is done with execvp(const char *file, char *const argv[]);.
In my main function I would like to take the whole line passed to the program (argv) except for the first char-array and pass it to grep. Everything works at the moment, but I keep getting the warning:
warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
const char* grep = argv;
                   ^

My code looks like following. In the clause if(1 < argc) i want to be able to send the argv with the first post modified to newPipeline on the same format as printenv, sort and less.
int main(int argc, char** argv, char **envp){

    const char* printenv[] = {"printenv", NULL, NULL};
    const char* sort[] = {"sort", NULL, NULL};
    const char* less[] = {"less", NULL, NULL};
    if(1<argc){
        argv[0] = "grep";
        const char* grep = argv;
        const char* const* commands[] = {printenv, sort, grep, less, NULL};
        newPipeline((char* const**)commands, 0, STDIN_FILENO);
    }
    //FROM HERE ON IT WORKS
    else{
        const char* const* commands[] = {printenv, sort, less, NULL};
        newPipeline((char* const**)commands, 0, STDIN_FILENO);
    }
    if(signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN) == SIG_ERR){
        perror("A problem with the children");
    }
    exit(0);
}

I know that the pointer types are wrong. Should I build up a completely new array for grep or should I, as I am trying to do now, cast pointers into the right kind of pointers. If the later, which pointers would that be?

A: Your grep variable needs to be a pointer to an array of strings or an array of strings (not simply a string).
Something like:
argv[0] = "grep";
const char** grep = (const char**)argv; //make grep point to the modified char** argv;

should do it, or construct a new array:
const char* grep[argc+1];
grep[0] = "grep";
grep[argc]=NULL;
for(int i=1; i<argc; i++){
  grep[i] = argv[i];
}

BTW, I believe you only need one NULL at the end of each string array.

A: The problem lies here
const char* grep = argv;

C does not provide internal type casting for const types. And if your motive is to copy the array of argv into grep, it's wrong, use strcpy or any such function to make a clone of that array.


Pickup your boat at the Palmetto Park boat ramp, 1 minute from Lake Boca and the Boca inlet Directly on the InterCoastal waterway. Plenty of free parking available on site.
The VR5 is a very spacious boat with a stable deep-v and a wide beam. The VR5 rides and feels like a 24 foot boat.
I will meet you at the dock with the boat in the water ready to go. When you are finished I will meet you at the same location.
Stereo, charging, GPS, Sonar and VHF radio. 2 built in coolers, dry storage and extremely comfortable seating for 8.
This almost new boat is gassed up and ready for snorkeling, diving, fishing, skiing and wake-boarding.
Or if you just want to cruise the interCoastal and look at the sites or hang out in lake Boca this is your best bet.
If you are interested I can offer guided ocean fishing trips on some days. I have plenty of equipment, and pretty much guarantee some fish, just let me know your needs and maybe we can work out a deal.
perfect experience! jordan was amazing!
Jordan is a great owner. He is very accommodating. He did a great job explaining everything we needed to know about the boat and area. The boat is awesome in almost brand new condition. The Garmin system is great. Also, departing from the Lake Boca area was super convenient. We definitely plan to rent from Jordan again. We highly recommend Jordan and the boat!
Jordan was great and the boat was perfect. He was super accommodating, even though I messed up the reservation time. Thank you!
Great experience and Jordan was great to work with!
Would definitely rent again from Jordan!
Jordan, it was nothing less than spectacular! Sailing out on the Bayliner with my family was one of the most pleasant experiences! The vessel was stylish, super clean and incredibly high tech. Jordan was enthusiastic and extremely helpful in all details of the adventure. We immensely enjoyed our day on the intracoastal and without hesitation, we'd certainly call Jordan again. Thanks so much!
Jordan and boat were both great and easy to work with.
Fantastic experience! The boat was amazing, and Jordan was fantastic. Pickup was so easy. Couldn't have asked for a better, smoother experience.
Very clean boat. Jordan had it all ready and was very prompt. I highly recommend Jordan and his Bayliner.
Jordan is great to rent from. Very responsive, and very fair. The boat is in great condition and has everything you need for a wonderful day out on the ocean or intercoastal. I will be renting from him again in the near future! Thank you for a great day!
Great guy and a really nice boat! Jordan was a pleasure to rent from.
Thanks Jordan! Great time and great service. We will be back. Happy Holidays!
Great experience. Wonderful owner. The boat is perfect. Everything worked like clockwork. We will rent again from Jordan.
Jordan was friendly, easy to work with, and accommodating. The boat is in great like new condition, shape and clean. Easy and fun to captain. We had an amazing time! Bluetooth was tricky and we couldn't get it to pair with the phone. Justin was communicative and sent us instructions, we just couldn't get it to work. Will definitely do it again!

Q: How to connect to Snowflake DB with .Net core 3.1? I've tryied to connect to a snowflake DB following the documentation from the website but this doesn't work (https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/dotnet-driver.html)
I already installed the nuget package Snowflake.Data and here is the code I use to try to connect :
using (IDbConnection conn = new SnowflakeDbConnection())
{
    // Set Connection String
    conn.ConnectionString = "account=xxx11111;user=my_user;password=my_password;host=xxx11111.snowflakecomputing.com";

    // Initiate the connection
    conn.Open();

    IDbCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
    cmd.CommandText = " select current_user();"; // Set up query
    IDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();

    while (reader.Read())
    {
        Console.WriteLine(reader.GetString(0)); // Display query result in the console
    }

    conn.Close(); // Close the connection
}

The process last longer than a minute then it fails with this :
System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (A task was canceled.)
 ---> System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled.
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at Snowflake.Data.Client.SnowflakeDbConnection.Open()
   at POC.Compass.Program.Main(String[] args) in ...\POC.Compass\Program.cs:line 21

And line 21 is conn.Open();.
Any idea ?

A: You're missing the warehouse, and possibly the role, from your connection string.
See the documentation for all the parameters: GitHub

A: I'm not sure what's wrong with your set up. I was able to connect successfully to Snowflake using mostly your code.
Please find an example in my public Github repo and compare it with your setup/project.

A: In .Net Core 3.1, use the Snowflake.Client library. see below code snippet.
public SnowflakeClient(string user, string password, string account, string region = null);

Configuration file:
"SnowflakeSettings": {
    "Account": "AB4444",
    "User": "SOME_SERVICE_ACCOUNT",
    "Password": "Password@123!",
    "Region": "east-us.azure"
}

Reflections on Drug Patents and the High Cost of Healthcare
The Hatch-Waxman Act and the Biologic Price Competition and Innovation Act are both forged from a noble ideal, grounded in a commitment to a robust and earnest patent system that rewards real innovation… By the power vested in them by specially-reserved patent laws, drug patents are a patent species of their own universe. They can have the economic power of nuclear warheads, in an industry built on an exclusivity model worth hundreds of billions of dollars, per year. We simply cannot afford to fill the silos of those warheads with patent waste that does not innovate or improve upon anything, but which can wreak economic and social havoc, while feeding the general public's perception that all patents stink.

The Abuse of Orange Book Listings by Branded Pharmaceutical Companies
AbbVie's maneuver worked like clockwork to induce regulatory gridlock, which prevented generic competition and kept the company's profits high at public expense, for years. Fortunately, the FTC would have none of it. The agency filed suit against AbbVie in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in 2014, accusing the company of illegal monopolization under the antitrust laws. The gravamen of the FTC's complaint was that AbbVie wrongfully filed objectively-baseless sham litigations, to block generic competition.
FTC Sues to Stop Unlawful Blocking of Generic Androgel
The FTC is seeking a court judgment declaring that the defendants' conduct violates the FTC Act, ordering the companies to disgorge their ill-gotten gains, and permanently barring them from engaging in similar anticompetitive behavior in the future. At issue in the alleged sham patent infringement suit is an ingredient in branded AndroGel, called isopropyl myristate or IPM. IPM is known as a "penetration enhancer" because it speeds the delivery of the drug's active ingredient, testosterone, through the skin and into the bloodstream. The patent on branded AndroGel covers only a formulation using IPM as the penetration enhancer, according to the FTC complaint.
Supremes Say Reverse Payments May Be Antitrust Violation
On Monday, June 17, 2013, the United States Supreme Court issued its much-anticipated decision on so-called "reverse payments." This decision will impact how brand name drug companies and generics enter into patent settlements to resolve pending patent litigation. In a nutshell, speaking for the majority, Justice Breyer wrote that there is no valid reason for the FTC to be denied the opportunity to pursue reverse payments as an antitrust violation. Breyer, who was joined by Justices Kennedy, Ginsberg, Kagan, and Sotomayor, determined that reviewing courts should apply the rule of reason when determining whether reverse payments violate antitrust law.
FTC Seeks SCOTUS Review in AndroGel "Pay-for-Delay" Case
At the request of the Federal Trade Commission, the Solicitor General of the United States petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to review a recent federal appeals court ruling concerning the FTC's case against a "pay-for-delay" agreement. The petition for certiorari, the mechanism for asking for the Supreme Court to review a case, argues that the agreement that postponed generic competition for the testosterone-replacement drug AndroGel is anti-competitive and should not be legal. But thanks to the byzantine legal rules created by the Hatch-Waxman Act, the brand name owner was doing nothing more than what seems to explicitly be authorized by the law.
FTC Sues Regarding AndroGel Patent Settlement
The Federal Trade Commission has filed a complaint in federal district court challenging agreements in which Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. paid generic drug makers Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. to delay generic competition to Solvay's branded testosterone-replacement drug AndroGel, a prescription pharmaceutical with annual sales of more than $400 million.

The book «Immortal Unchained» by Lynsay Sands Review and Quotes: Sarita woke up in the guestroom she'd been given in Dr. Dressler's house and for one moment thought that everything had been a mad, mad dream. After all, who would believe in vampires and winged men? No one, of course, she thought, and then a warm arm slid around her waist, and the scent of the man now spooning her assured Sarita that it hadn't been a dream. All those wild memories crowding her mind had really happened.
Including the first time when she'd woken up and Domitian had told her what had taken place after she'd stumbled into his arms outside the lab. He'd turned her to save her life. Sarita didn't know how she felt about that. She wasn't keen on the whole blood thing. On the other hand, she was even less keen on the whole death thing, so blood won that round, she supposed.
Domitian had also told her that Thorne had taken out four winged hybrids alone, and then had taken an immortal woman named Basha up in the air to use tranquilizer darts on the gilled hybrids. Sarita had much less ambivalence about that. She was glad Thorne was all right and had come through it safely, and while she was sorry for the hybrids who had died, including young Colton who had apparently slipped away during the battle, she was even sorrier for the ones who had fought against the immortals and survived, because their future looked pretty bleak from what she could tell.

There are a number of reviews on Amazon that you can examine; but, I wanted to share some of the lovely emails I've personally received about these books.
I am 82 years young and an avid reader of 'Cosy Crime'. I've just finished your first Lord James book on Kindle and am looking forward to reading the second. I have never found myself so involved in one before. It has all the elements in it that I love, even small references to things that I know about. They would be ideal for a TV series. I think that you have found an excellent format and hope that you'll write many more with all the same characters.
I wanted to drop you a line to say how very much I have enjoyed reading your Lord Harrington books. I came across them quite by chance and what a find they are. This is a plea from a fan - please do write some more, they are super!
I have read the first three Lord James Harrington books and am ready for the fourth!!
I have read all of the Lord James Harrington books you have written and I am so unbelievably impressed. I am very sorry to not be able to find another one to read right away, and so I am emailing you in the hope that there is another one in the not too distant pipeline to look forward to? I already miss the characters and can't wait to immerse myself in village life again!
I have just started to read the first book after my sister sent it to me. I really love the way you tell a story. I even have the second book ready for when I finish this one. Please don't stop ! My sister has already emailed you with her praises. That is how I know that a third book is in the works. I can't tell you how excited we both are. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the Lord James Harrington stories. I love mysteries and especially if I can learn about something. You write beautifully and I have been having a fun time with "new" English words. Please continue to entertain everyone. You have a wonderful talent.
Have just finished the third Lord Harrington book, and I have to say it left me wanting more! I already miss everybody. I am hoping that you might write more for the series. The books are wonderfully written, I find myself getting lost into the book and everything around me just disappears. That doesn't happen with every book I read. It's a wonderful feeling. Thank you so much for that. I love the books also because of the time period for one and you describe it spot on, the charters are so wonderful and what they wear, what they eat, the hotel and homes are wonderful , and the automobiles. And the mysteries you come up with are so good always interesting.
I do apologize for rambling on, I just want to thank you for sharing your wonderful talent, and do hope to see more of Lord Harrington, Lady Harrington , Stephen and Anne, Bert and George and everyone else!!!!
Just discovered your Lord James books (I have the first two and just discovered on your website that there is a third, so I'll be downloading that!!).
Am enjoying the first Lord James book so far. You are right - a wonderful read for a Sunday afternoon!!!
I was going to ask when the next one would be available, and was delighted to find that the third one is already out. I will look forward to the fourth as soon as you get it. Glad to have a place to leave my email address to be advised of the next one's debut!!!
I wanted to email you to say how very much I have been enjoying your Lord James Harrington mysteries on Kindle. This series is new to me and it is wonderful! It's been a long time since an author has captured my interest. I love your characters and the period in which the stories take place. The plot is intriguing and the character development and setting of place are excellent. I have purchased all of the Lord James Harrington books on Kindle already. I have read the Winter and Spring books already. I began the Summer book last night and it promises to be just as satisfying as the two previous books. Your stories are so refreshing and a wonderful escape. Please keep writing books for this series! I just wanted to say thank you for bringing so much joy and pleasure into my life. You have a great talent and it's lovely that you are sharing it with all of us.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your first Lord Harrington book. The characters had a great deal of personality, and the details of village life as well as other descriptions were well-drawn. The plot had enough subtle hints and twists to keep me entertained and guessing. I am looking forward to enjoying another cosy with hot chocolate and Lord Harrington.
Brilliant, can't wait for the next lord Harrington book. So pleased you didn't stop after the seasonal books. What's after the Easter mystery? .
I did get the notification and the book is now to be my holiday reading in a couple of weeks. We have rented a lovely cottage in Pembrokeshire where my evenings will be spent with a Glenfiddich (or two) in the company of Lord James of course.
Many Thanks for letting me know that Book 7 in the Lord James Harrington book series is now available. I am looking forward to reading it. I always really enjoy reading the Lord James Harrington books - as well as the mystery, the characters are all very well described - you feel like you know them - and also you get a very good sense of the time and location the books are set in. As somebody who was Sussex born and bred, albeit the other side of the county, I always enjoy reading stories set in Sussex, and with a mystery to solve as well, what could be better. Glad to hear you're working on book 8 - make sure you keep at it, no slacking, ha, ha.
My Dear Ms. Florkiewicz, I have only recently discovered your charming Lord Harrington mysteries and I wanted to tell you I am enjoying them immensely. I look forward to reading every book in this series now plus any future additions. Thank you for everything....the true to life characters, the descriptive settings, and the great mysteries that keep me guessing.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Easter Mystery and the best compliment I can give it is that I was sad when I had finished it because I could have carried on reading it for a lot longer. It was absolutely brilliant.

Q: Comparate rows in 2 tables of a data mysql with php here is the thing.
Im doing a contest where ppl from my company can predict world cup matches.
for each game, they can choose a radio option, winner or a tie (options/values are 1,2,3).
 Brasil  tie  Croacia
all these is stored in a table called "predictions" where is store an id, name, match1, match2, etc ...
then i have another table called "results" where i will store the right value for each match, after they play (ex. match1 = 1)
now i want to compare the match1 field from both tables, and if they match the user get a point.
did anybody did something like that?

A: Don't store each match in a different column. They should be separate rows, where the match number is in the match column. Then you can write a join like this:
SELECT p.name, p.match, p.result = r.result AS correct
FROM predictions AS p
JOIN results AS r ON p.match = r.match
ORDER BY p.name, p.match

To get all of a person's points, you can aggregate:
SELECT p.name, SUM(p.result = r.result) AS points
FROM predictions AS p
JOIN results AS r ON p.match = r.match
GROUP BY p.name
ORDER BY p.name

To insert the predictions into the database, you use a loop:
foreach($_REQUEST['match'] AS $i => $match) {
    mysql_query("INSERT INTO mundial (nombre, match, p)
                 VALUES ('$_REQUEST[nombre]', $match, {$_REQUEST['p'][$i]})") or die(mysql_error());
}

The HTML for the prediction form should be like this:
<form>
    <input type="hidden" name="match[0]" value="1">
    <input type="radio" name="p[0]" value="1"> Brasil <input type="radio" name="p[0]" value="2"> Croacia <input type="radio" name="p[0]" value="3"> Tie

    <input type="hidden" name="match[1]" value="2">
    <input type="radio" name="p[1]" value="1"> Country3 <input type="radio" name="p[1]" value="2"> Country4 <input type="radio" name="p[1]" value="3"> Tie

    ... Repeat for each match
</form>

A: I would propose another approach: Use rows instead of columns, then JOIN with the 'results' table to get the score points for each user.
In the rows approach, the predictions table would consist of the columns: id, match_id, match_guess, so each user would contribute a few rows to that table, e.g. if user 123 guesses that match_1's result will be 2, this corresponds to the row (123, 'match_1', 2).
The 'results' table would consist of the columns match_id, match_result, and then simply JOIN to calculate the points of each user e.g.
SELECT p.id, SUM(p.match_guess=r.match_result)
FROM predictions p, results r
WHERE p.match_id=r.match_id
GROUP BY p.id;

Karscig was known for his high-pitched singing voice in the group LOUIS XIV and his voice was often confused with that of a female singer. He currently resides in San Diego, California where he moved at age 10. He began playing music with piano lessons and singing in the church choir at St. Joan of Arc Catholic School in Toledo, OH at age 7. He picked up the guitar at age 15, and decided at that age he wanted to be a songwriter/musician.
Brian Karscig along with other founding members Hill and Maigaard started LOUIS XIV in April 2003. After the break-up of alt country/alternative act CONVOY, the three left the project to pursue a more stripped down sound and recorded their debut on their own record label (Pineapple Recording Group) self-titled LOUIS XIV. Selling more than 10,000 copies on their own and achieving radio success with their follow-up EP's the Pink EP and the Blue EP with a song called, "Finding Out True Love Is Blind", the band was signed to Atlantic records in 2004. In 2005 the songwriting team of Hill/Karscig along with drummer Mark Maigaard released and EP Illegal Tender on Pineapple Recording Group/Vice which was then followed up by their major label release of LP The Best Little Secrets are Kept by Atlantic Records. In 2007 The Distances from Everyone to You EP was released which featured a cover of Queen's song Flash Gordon, and shortly after began touring supporting their follow-up LP to The Best Little Secrets Are Kept called Slick Dogs and Ponies. Karscig appeared with Louis XIV on Late Night with Conan O'Brien performing "Finding Out True Love is Blind" as well as Friday Night with Jonathan Ross in the UK, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Last Call with Carson Daly.

GET YOUR FRINK ON: New App Promises Free Booze???
Posted on November 19, 2015 in hMOUTH, hNOW
by Darren Paltrowitz
Formed by Alex Likhtenstein and Ian Magid, Frink's co-founders began working together within the Manhattan college nightlife world. At one point the two ran more than a dozen weekly parties around the New York City area, eventually becoming Manhattan's youngest nightclub owners in 2012. EVR—the nightclub/lounge which Alex and Ian had a controlling interest in—was sold in May 2014, now existing as Proper West. Beyond doing marketing and/or consulting work for a number of fine establishments, the two currently operate Company Night Out, a corporate event planning company.
While Frink is an app looking to cast a wide net, its initial launch has been in Hoboken. Promising one free drink every day at great bars in town, Frink permits "Frinksters" to order beer, wine and mixed drinks for their complimentary beverage of choice. For those curious to know more details— for example, which Hoboken establishments have partnered with Frink—a free 14-day trial is currently available.
I had the opportunity to conduct some Q&A with Alex over e-mail. With such, he clarified why there is no catch to using Frink, nicely explaining how everyone wins when Frink is using. For those looking to suggest a partner establishment or a way for the app's overall functionality to improve, Alex included his direct e-mail address within one of his responses. In the meantime, you can follow Frink on Twitter by the handle @getfrink.
hMAG: How would you describe Frink to someone who someone not yet familiar?
Alex Likhtenstein: Frink is a useful new app that let's you get one free drink each and every day at any one of your favorite local bars. Log in, see what bars are participating, and enjoy. We're currently available for iOS on the Apple Store, and the Android version will be coming to the Google Play store in a couple of weeks. You can sign up to get early access to the android version on our site: www.getfrink.com.
H: Were you familiar with I'm Not At Work when coming up with the concept?
A: No I was not, but I just looked it up. It seems similar to a lot of other discount and happy hour aggregators. I remember coming across a lot of these about a year and a half ago after I had both sold my bar and gotten out of a serious relationship. At the time, I was going out on a lot of dates, but because I was generally working late they wouldn't start till eight or nine. I became very frustrated that all of these aggregators had specials that only lasted till seven or eight or whenever the bar's happy hour was. They always ended too early for my purposes. Luckily, Frink solves that pain point since no matter what time you start, your first one is always on us.
H: When coming up with the name for Frink, did Professor Frink from The Simpsons ever come to mind?
A: It didn't, but it probably should have. I was just thinking of ways to combine the words "free" and "drink" or "daily drink" — "drink a day" was actually the original working name. Frink sounded short, simple, and easy to understand, so we went with it before really doing too much research. It's funny that you mention that though, when I made our Facebook page the first person to post on it was a friend of mine who put up a picture of Dr. Frink.
H: How did Hoboken become the chosen base for Frink?
A: Hoboken was actually the perfect place to launch. I like to call Hoboken a miniature metropolis. You have all these bars and young professionals in such a small geographical space. So you have all the advantages of a major city from our perspective, but in an area that's small enough to be manageable for a start-up testing a new innovative product.
H: Do you remember the first bar you ever visited in Hoboken?
A: I was in college and pretty drunk, so not so much. But the first bar I REMEMBER visiting was Wicked Wolf, which not so ironically was the first bar we put on the application.
H: For a bar to enroll in Frink, what must they do?
A: First, we have to make sure they meet our criteria. We don't want to be in every bar, we only want to be in the best bars to make sure our users always have a great experience. Plus, the value proposition we have to bars doesn't really work for bad bars that Frinksters wouldn't want to stay at after getting their free drink. It only works for places where people actually are enjoying themselves. After we decide that a bar that is interested fits our criteria, we then test to make sure the bartenders know how the app works and are familiar with it so there's no operational hiccups. After that, we put the venue on the app for our users to enjoy.
H: How does Frink make money?
A: Right now Frink is a subscription service so after a 14-day free trial users pay $5 a month to use the service. It's a great deal, since for less that the cost of one drink they're able to redeem one each and every day.
H: Money aside, what's the most challenging part of running a start-up.
A: Having to wear every hat simultaneously. You don't have a product manager, or a CMO, or a CFO, or a merchant relations manager, or a customer support team, or even a social media manager. You have to do everything yourself at the same time. But that's also one of the really big advantages. You get to deal with individual users, individual bars, and even individual commenters on Instagram. That's the best way to really learn about your product and market and adapt accordingly as you scale. Tim Cook probably doesn't get the chance to talk to a regular person trying out an iPhone for the first time very often, let alone most of his customers. Right now I do, and it's awesome.
H: Are there plans to expand beyond Hoboken?
A: Absolutely, we're expanding to other areas in New Jersey over the next few weeks—think places like Morristown and New Brunswick—and we're planning a national expansion in the coming year.
H: What is your drink of choice?
A: Don Julio with ginger ale. I know it sounds weird, but I highly recommend trying it.
H: Finally, any last words for the kids?
A: Don't Frink & Drive. Also, we love to hear from our users, so if there's any features or bars you ever want to see on the app, please feel free to email me directly: alex@getfrink.com. Or even if it's not about the app, I love to talk to other people either in or looking to get into start-ups.
The think behind Frink…

Following Newcastle's 1-0 defeat at Stoke, leaving the club winless after six Premier League games, the St James' Park head honchos have moved quickly to stress that Alan Pardew's job is safe, for the time being at least.
Despite increasing supporter protests and a string of lacklustre performances, the Magpies will not be severing ties with their manager before they visit Swansea next.
After being handed a pre-international break reprieve, it is imperative that Pardew masterminds victory in south Wales in a game where the Tynesiders are priced up at 13/4 to prevail.
Try as he might, the silver-haired supremo has been unable to fix the Newcastle machine that broke around January of this year.
But fear not Pardiola, we've come up with three new solutions for you to try.
Younger sibling of Toon folk hero Shola, Ameobi Jr is allegedly playing for his future at St James' Park.
Affording him the odd 15 minutes from the bench here and there doesn't give him a fair opportunity to prove his worth though.
The dissenting supporters are certain to cut academy products more slack than flailing big-money buys so give Sammy a chance to shine.
The Frenchman started his Newcastle career in blinding fashion, but he looks to have grown stale on the wings.
With great pace, power and a touch of guile to boot, he would be the perfect box-to-box foil to anchorman Cheick Tiote, who proved in the Stoke game that he's excellent at just about everything aside from making forward passes.
Remy Cabella has been deployed in what fashion dictates is the number ten role, tasked to find the pockets of space in front of opponents' backlines.
The hustle and bustle of the Premier League looks a little too much for him at present, however, and removing him from the first-team picture looks the obvious solution.
Emmanuel Riviere has cut a lonely figure as the solo attacking spearhead and could use a partner.
Papiss Cisse is back fit again and provides one option, while new-signing Ayoze Perez must be in line for a first top-tier start after coming off the bench five times so far.
