Q: Pesky Google acting up Google installed something called

It is seemingly trying to update Google software on my Mac.
I have changed its check interval from 18000 (5 hr) to 604800 (once per week) with
defaults write com.google.Keystone.Agent checkInterval 604800

but it is ignoring that.
Macbook Air 2012 with Sierra.
How do I fix it, or kill it.

A: Since I'm by no means qualified to fix Google problems, I ended up using brute force.
First I renamed this folder :
/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/
Then I killed the GoogleSoftwareUpdate update Program with
sudo launchctl remove com.google.keystone.system.agent

First result is in: (Victory)
Aug 16 20:51:06 myMBA com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.google.keystone.system.agent[771]): Could not find and/or execute program specified by service: 2: No such file or directory: /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent

We will see tomorrow if it stays put over night and stops trying to update Google Software every hour.

Paralligator is een geslacht van uitgestorven neosuchische Crocodylomorpha, dat leefde tijdens het Laat-Krijt (Cenomanien-Maastrichtien, ongeveer 96 miljoen tot 70 miljoen jaar geleden) in de Bayan Shireh- en Nemegtformaties van wat nu Mongolië is.

Soorten
In 1954 benoemde Konzjoekowa de typesoort Paralligator gradilifrons. De geslachtsnaam betekent "naast de alligator". De soortaanduiding is een spelfout en had "gracilifrons" moeten luiden, "lichtgebouwd voorhoofdsbeen". Dat kan niet meer gecorrigeerd worden. Het holotype is No. 554-1/1, een schedel met een onderkaak.

In 1954 werd ook Paralligator ancestralis benoemd, de "voorouderlijke" gebaseerd op holotype PIN 551-29/1, een schedeldak. Paralligator major Efimov, 1981 is gebaseerd op holotype PIN No. 3726/501, een schedeldak. Hiervan is de schedel kennelijk veel groter dan bij de andere soorten, met zo'n zestig centimeter driemaal langer. De paralligatorsoorten delen het kenmerk dat de voorrand van de interne neusgaten, de choanae, ter hoogte van de achterrand van de vensters in de verhemeltebeenderen ligt.

 Paralligator ancestralis Konzhukova, 1954
 Paralligator gradilifrons Konzhukova, 1954
 Paralligator major Efimov 1981

Al deze soorten zijn ook bij Shamosuchus ondergebracht maar dat is omstreden. De situatie is problematisch doordat al het materiaal vrij slecht is en daarom  slecht vergelijkbaar.

Verkeerd toegewezen soorten
Paralligator sungaricus, Sun 1958, beschreven vanuit de Nenjiang-formatie uit het Vroeg-Krijt van de provincie Jilin in China, is gebaseerd op holotype IVPP V 2302 overblijfselen bestaande uit een paar presacrale wervels, dorsale osteodermen, een gedeeltelijk linkerdijbeen en het proximale deel van een linkerscheenbeen en kuitbeen. Het typemateriaal is echter te fragmentarisch om als diagnostisch te worden beschouwd, en de soort is een nomen dubium.

Uitgestorven Crocodylomorpha

How to choose the right Ductless Split AC And Heating Units, will MXZ4C36NA2 MSZGL06NAU1-6k-6k-12k work for me?
Taking out a mortar shower pan is definitely zero fun. But installing the Kerdi shower system was a breeze. I watched all the videos, and today we have a new shower. eComfort was easy to work with. They kept me informed with shipment and tracking information. I received my order in a very timely manner. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.


Almudena Romero is a London based visual artist working with a wide range of photographic processes from early printing techniques such as cyanotype, salt printing or wet plate collodion, to new technologies including 3D scanning and printing.
Since 2015, Almudena has shown and explained her practice at the Victoria and Albert Museum,National Portrait Gallery, TATE Modern-TATE Exchange, TATE Britain, The Photographers' Gallery, Tsinghua University Art Museum, the Whitechapel Gallery, Le Cent-Quatre Paris, University of the Arts London, Unseen Amsterdam, and delivered courses and lectures for Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, Estorick Collection, Mapfre Foundation, Sotheby's Institute of Art, University of Westminster, Kingston University and Southampton Solent University and London Art Fair. She has also received commissions to produce installations in public spaces from Team London Bridge, Southwark Council, Emergency Exit Artist, Wellcome Trust and University College London, Bow Arts Trust & London Festival of Architecture. Her work has been published in Photomonitor, Radio France Internationale, TimeOut, DUST magazine, EXTRA magazine (FOMU, Foto Museum) and other media.
Almudena's practice uses photographic processes to reflect on issues relating to identity, representation and ideology; such as the role of photography in the construction of national identity, or the link between photographic archives and colonialism. Her work focuses on how photographic processes and technology transform the notions of public, private, individuality, identity, memory, and, in general, the concept of the individual. Almudena's works touch on how perception affects existence and how photographic processes contribute to organising perception.

Bukowski For Beginners
Carlos Polimeni, Illustrated by Miguel Rep
B&W Illustrations throughout
Charles Bukowski, poet, novelist, short-story writer, journalist, and cult figure of the dissident and rebellious was born in Germany in 1920 and died in the USA in 1994. During his life he was hailed as "laureate of American lowlife" by Time magazine literary critic Adam Kirsch of The New Yorker wrote: "The secret of Bukowski's appeal...(is that) he combines the confessional poet's promise of intimacy with the largerthan-life aplomb of a pulp-fiction hero."
Bukowski was one of the most unconventional writers and cultural critics of the 20th century. He lived an unorthodox, idiosyncratic life and wrote in a style that was unique�one that is impossible to classify or categorize. His work was at times cynical or humorous, but was always brilliant and challenging. His life and work are distinguished not only by a remarkable talent for words, but also by his rejection of the dominant social and cultural values of American society. Bukowski began writing at the age of forty and published forty-five books, six of them novels. He is also considered one of the great literary voices of Los Angeles.
In Bukowski For Beginners, playwright Carlos Polimeni evaluates the life and literary achievements of the cult writer whose voice of dissidence an discontent is still heard and appreciated by readers worldwide.
Carlos Polimeni is a journalist, writer, screenwriter, and television and radio host in Argentina. A journalist since 1978, he has worked in television, radio, magazines, news agencies, and newspapers, and has published twelve books on topics of their specialty. He also wrote plays and screenplays.
Miguel Repiso, better known as Miguel Rep or Rep-is a cartoonist and graphic humorist in Argentina.

VM Digital (Thailand) is the latest company to be granted a Mobile Virtual Network Operator license in Thailand. The MVNO license is valid from June 1st 2016 until May 31 2021.
In December 2015, Thailand's state enterprise telecom operator TOT, pre-approved a proposal from the leading mobile operator AIS to become a MVNO and partner in mobile business.
As JAS Mobile broadband failed to pay its winning bid for the second 900MHz license in Thailand, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has to come up with a new auction round.
Within a week, Thailand has witnessed the establishment of one MVNO club, and two full commercial MVNO launches with the local MVNOs Penguin and MyWorld3G.
Thailand's National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has issued 39 MVNO licenses since the introduction of MVNO in Thailand six years ago.
The two mobile spectrum auctions, held recently in Thailand on the 900Mhz and 1800Mhz - not only brought a new fourth mobile operator to Thailand, but also changes in the spectrum allocation, which could change the pecking order in the Thai mobile market.


Long Island is exactly that; a long island. One the east end, we have 2 forks: The North Fork and The Hamptons, which culminates at Montauk. The End. No, that's not the end of the blog post. That's what Montauk is called. At the eastern most tip of Long Island, is the Montauk Lighthouse. It is the oldest lighthouse in New York State and was completed in 1796. When people mention Montauk, one pictures endless beaches but you cannot help but think of the lighthouse. Its an iconic part of Montauk and Long Island.
Montauk started as a fishing village and has become a resort village. Technically part of The Hamptons, its more casual and family friendly than the rest of the towns that make up The Hamptons. Fun facts about Montauk is that it has no traffic lights in the entire town. It started to become a bit of a parry town, spilling over from The Hamptons, but the residents and business owners have pushed back, to bring back to its family destination status.
Every year, I try to do a photo shoot with the girls but this was the first time I came up with the perfect "Montauk" session. I found a location that has perfect views of the lighthouse in the background. Unfortunately, we had terrible weather predicted for the week we were there, but that actually helped with this location and I really wanted those moody skies for this session. We didn't shoot long, as we were losing light quickly and the rain clouds were really coming in quick, but it really couldn't have been any more perfect!
This is one of my favorite sessions with my girls and its an amazing memory now of one of our favorite places. Oh and that seagull was 100% real!

Kylie Jenner is fresh out of f***s.
Kylie Jenner's 18th birthday seems to have ushered in a new lack of f***ks. As critics continue to offer commentary on her seven-year age difference with her boyfriend Tyga, the reality starlet is leaving less and less to the imagination. From her barely-there photoshoot for Galore magazine, to her coupled-up appearance in T-Raww's "Stimulated" music video, it looks like the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters is fresh out of worries.
Okay, Kylie. We see you.


The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has stated that medical devices have the lowest rates of compliance when they carry out regulatory compliance audits. Next year, the CQC will further develop regulations to become more focussed. All trusts will need to register with the regulator to legally function.
6 Core standards were reported by the CQC as having the lowest rates of compliance. 4 of those 6 standards, listed below impact on medical devices management (and therefore patient safety).
The NHS Litigation Authority are reporting high rates of negligence claims. The total payouts in 2009/10 were £786 Million. There is an upwards trend as seen in the graph below.
The clinical negligence payments have increased £321M from 2005 to 2010. This is a 97% increase in payment against clinical negligence. Many of these negligence claims involve the use of medical devices, and I am regularly involved in investigating these types of incidents. In my opinion, most incidents are avoidable, as they are usually a result of no/poor training.
During 2009/10, a total of 229 assessments were carried out: 141 (61%) at Level 1, 72 (31%) at Level 2 and 17 (8%) at Level 3. At the end of the year, 60% of acute trusts, 31% of mental health and learning disability trusts and 70% of maternity services had achieved Level 2 or 3, as illustrated in the chart below.
Level 3 - monitoring and improvement (performance).
To achieve compliance, organisations must pass at least 40 out of the 50 criteria with no fewer than seven passes in any one standard. NHS trusts receive increasing discounts, ranging from 10% - 30%, on their contributions to the risk pooling schemes as they progress from Level 1 to Level 3.
Thank you for your email. Your comments on the NHS White Paper and the management of devices have been noted and will now be considered as part of the consultation process.
In every NHS organisation I work with, they have similar problems around buying, maintaining, and training on medical devices. The CQC recognises this as an area where the NHS is weak. This leads to death / serious harm, and overspend that is well documented by various government agencies. The average Trust spends 1.5% of its budget on medical devices. Implementing medical devices management processes aids Trusts to reduce risk, reduce downtime, and reduce costs by approximately 25% to 35% of their spend, and also improve efficiency. If an NHS Trust has a £200M budget, and spends £3M on medical devices (Equipment, consumables, training, and maintenance); There could be a recurrent annual saving of £1M by improving quality and patient safety.
I would be pleased if you could raise this issue as a question to the house, raising awareness of the risks and opportunities. My suggested question would be: How can management of medical devices be facilitated and supported in NHS Trusts by responsible executives? In the past, many excellent guidelines have been issued and ignored. I am concerned that the CQC are not drilling down deep enough to instigate change at a suitable pace.

United began offering service between Aguadilla and the U.S. East Coast in 2000.
United Airlines is celebrating 15 years of service on the Aguadilla-New York/Newark route. The airline operates daily flights between the Rafael Hernández International Airport in Aguadilla and its New York hub at Newark Liberty International Airport, with onward connections to cities throughout the Americas and around the world.
United began serving the Aguadilla-New York/Newark route in 2000 with daily flights using Boeing 737 New Generation aircraft, being the first airline to introduce this modern, fuel-efficient and eco-friendly aircraft to the Island.
"We are very happy to celebrate this milestone anniversary of Aguadilla-New York/Newark service," said Millie Uriarte, United's director of sales for Latin America and the Caribbean. "We are grateful to our customers and the travel industry in Puerto Rico, who have made United their preferred airline over all these years."
To mark the occasion, United organized an appreciation ceremony for its customers, by giving passengers departing on the flight to New York/Newark homemade cookies for trip.
United began operations in Puerto Rico in 1991.

If your natural gas bill is higher than you expected, there's a number of reasons why this may be. We'll walk you through the various reasons here, but remember—we're always here to help. Give us a call at 1-888-224-2710.
If you've used more natural gas than usual in your home or business, it will cause your bill to go up. Here are some reasons why we use more energy.
When colder weather sets in, we usually turn up the thermostat and run our furnace, boiler or fireplaces for longer periods. This means we use more natural gas.
Older gas appliances are not the same as today's high-efficiency models. For instance, if you have a furnace or boiler that's more than 15 years old and hasn't been maintained and serviced regularly, chances are it's near the end of its life cycle—and certainly not using gas efficiently.
Increased gas use can also happen if you heat a pool or hot tub with natural gas, or have added new appliances to your home or business.
Older homes or buildings are usually less able to keep the heat in. Poor insulation in basements and crawl spaces, or improper window and door seals, make heating costly.
Just like your car, your natural gas heating equipment needs regular tune-ups. Without regular cleaning and maintenance, it may become inefficient in its use of gas. Having it regularly serviced by a licensed natural gas contractor will keep it safe and operating at its best.
Guests staying over or more people living in your home can lead to the increased use of natural gas since more people equals more hot water to take showers or do laundry.
It's possible that natural gas rates have changed, affecting the amount on your bill. We review the price of natural gas with the British Columbia Utilities Commission every three months. The good news is we purchase natural gas on your behalf and pass the cost on without markup.
Natural gas remains an affordable option to heat your home and water compared to other energy choices such as electricity. In fact, it's about one third the cost of electricity. Learn more about your natural gas rates.
Did you know we work with our customers to help solve high bill problems year-round, not just in the winter months? If your bill is high, we'll work with you to find a solution that may include payment arrangements. For example, we offer a Equal Payment Plan if you want to pay a fixed monthly payment and avoid those seasonal highs and lows.
Call us: 1-888-224-2710, Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.


It came down to one stark reality for Notre Dame tennis player Ryan Keckley. "You win the match, we're going," he said. "You lose, more than likely we're not going." Going -- or not going -- to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament, a milepost the Irish had in their minds all season. Keckley and teammate Barry King were the two Notre Dame singles players left on the court last Saturday, protecting a 3-2 lead over host Texas A&M. Down a set and behind in the second, it didn't look good for King. That, in essence, left it up to Keckley. Texas A&M takes its tennis seriously, attracting hundreds of fans, all of whom seemed to be in Keckley's ear in the climactic moments, jeering. He loved it. But even those ill-intentioned, adrenaline-amping decibels couldn't drown out his own jangling awareness of the situation. "I was extremely nervous," he said, "because if you lose that match, you're not only letting yourself down, you're letting your teammates down, more importantly." Keckley described his experience this week on the phone from Stanford University, site of the Sweet 16, the coveted destination his clinching win secured. His opponent, Brett Joelson, beat back three match points before Keckley finished off a 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 victory that confirmed Notre Dame's self-image as a Top 16 team. Narrow losses early in the season to Duke, North Carolina and Virginia allowed doubt to cloud that perception, in the rankings and in their own minds. Those scars healed and the mental calluses produced a tougher attitude the 18th-ranked Irish took into the tournament. "When the time came and we had an opportunity to beat Texas A&M," Keckley said, "we finally got the job done and got to come here." As a reward, Notre Dame will play undefeated and No. 1 Georgia today, another shot at that elusive win over an elite program. Like his performance in the decisive match at Texas A&M, Keckley's confidence on the eve of the main event showed no sign of wear and tear from a long and grinding season. On the contrary ... "We're definitely going out there with the mindset that we're going to compete," Keckley said, "we're going to fight, we're going to win." Leave it to Keckley to articulate it in that cut-to-the-chase kind of way. His dominance as a singles player in junior tennis and at St. Joseph's High School overshadowed a love for doubles and its rapid-fire action. Now a junior at Notre Dame, the 6-foot-1, 160-pound team co-MVP plays both No. 4 singles and No. 1 doubles (with Eric Langenkamp) the way he talks. He gets right to the point. "He's very quick, very athletic. A lot of guys like that tend to play long, grindy points where they loop the ball and so forth," Irish coach Bobby Bayliss said. "Ryan doesn't do that. He's very aggressive, takes the ball on the rise and really attacks at every opportunity. ... You've got have a little bit of riverboat gambler in you to be a good doubles player." Those instincts made doubles a natural place to contribute as a freshman and sophomore when injuries and teammates who "stepped up when I didn't" kept Keckley out of the singles lineup. This season, after a summer of targeted effort, he established a secure spot in singles to go along with his continued role as doubles dice-roller. When the season came down to him last Saturday in a singles match, he relished the atmosphere and the pressure. That's the riverboat gambler in him, the part of his personality that still prefers doubles for the snug way it fits him on and off the court. "It's more of a fast-paced game. Growing up, I never had much patience, so it kind of suited me more," Keckley said. "It's a little more in-your-face."

Why would Rosie O'Donnell, a woman known for her wild-eyed rants against firearms, the war on terror, and the military, dress her child in a camo shirt, camo bandana and a bandolier of bullets and then post that picture on her own website? I certainly can't answer that stunner and neither can the denizens of her nutroots website who seem shocked and utterly unable to assist me in finding out what is going on with this business.
Yet, there it is, for all to see on her Web site; exactly the photo described above.
That is a horrible picture of VIvi!!
Help me out here….Why is that child in the header pic(your child I believe) wearing a bullet belt around her? Is there a political statement ur trying to make?
Ro- So dissapointed to see your little ones with bullets…where are the guns? I thought for sure you would protect them more from such things…The internet is NOT OK…but bullets ARE?? Why Why??
Are you kidding me with that pic of your daughter? Why would you do that?
Not sure of the "message" you are trying to send with that pic of Viv, but I guarantee many are not going to get it… Children with bullets, even fake…?? what are u thinking?
So, gentle readers, we are not alone wondering what is going on with this photo in the wide, un-populated expanse of Rosie's mind.
But, I have to say, the hypocrisy is hilarious. She will most likely fall back on the it's-just-a-kid-at-play argument, but that really makes the lie to her all too common hyperbole on the issues surrounding the issues of guns. So, what does this say of her anti-gun rants if she so easily allows her child to play at being a terrorist? That it doesn't matter if it's "just" playing?
On the other hand, does she think she is making some sort of statement about child soldiers? And what does it say about a "Mother" who uses her own child to make political statements?
In any case, this is a perplexing picture, one that I don't see how she can explain satisfactorily for her nutroots followers. Perhaps some more evidence that Rosie O'Donnell simply has no idea what she is on about? Or that she is one confused and unstable lady?
Should we begin to feel sorry for her at this point? You tell me! What is going on here?
It seems I was right on both counts. Rosie has told The ShowBuzz in an email that the costume was the result of a game of make-believe... but that we should all think about our soldiers!
"They don't watch TV – this is how they play/the boys had fatigues and were playing war/the girls wanted some/they run around the house with water guns/shooting each other."
"It's fascinating to me/that an image of a child dressed up as a soldier/evokes so much attention/yet the real soldiers – their deaths – their wounded bodies/doesn't seem to faze most/or make news," she added.
So, it is both just kids playing and nothing to worry about, making the lie to her past hyperbole about guns AND a political statement about the war.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Avaya Once Again Helps NORAD Track Santa on Christmas
Santa Clara, Calif. – December 17, 2018 – This Christmas, Avaya Holdings Corp. (NYSE: AVYA) is using its industry-leading contact center solutions to help track Santa's progress and ensure his safety as he travels the skies spreading good cheer around the world. The 63rd annual NORAD Tracks Santa, begins December 24 through Christmas Day, December 25, with thousands of volunteers staffing the NORAD hotline to answer tens of thousands of calls from children of all ages tracking Santa's progress.
During the 20-hour period in 2017, more than 1,500 hotline volunteers answered a record 126,103 calls to the NORAD Tracks Santa 1-877 HI-NORAD hotline. The NORAD Tracks Santa website, available in eight languages, received 18 million visitors. 1.5 million people asked their Alexa devices "Hey, Alexa, where's Santa?" and more than 3 million people tracked Santa on the 'NORAD Tracks Santa Claus' app.
The mission critical Avaya customer engagement technology, which supports the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Operations Center at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo., helps volunteers carefully monitor Santa's travels and ensure his safety using radar, satellites, planes and 'Santa Cams' strategically positioned worldwide. Volunteers share that information with callers as Santa soars through the night skies across the globe.
The same Avaya Government Solutions used by NORAD Tracks Santa is also deployed by other government agencies. As a result, it has been extensively tested by the Department of Defense Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) and is certified to be 'Santa-ready.' Avaya's contact center solutions handle millions of customer calls, web chats, and texts around the world each day, serving the largest banks, health systems, airlines and government agencies.
"Each click, call, email, and social media post counts in a customer's journey and each touch must be met with complete satisfaction no matter who or where," said Jerry Dotson, VP, Avaya Government Solutions. "The capability to handle interactions across a variety of platforms makes for happier customers and constituents. Each interaction could be a child calling Santa to find out how far away he is, a solider sending holiday greetings to his family or a customer calling a bank's call center agent to see if a check cleared–All interactions matter. We are proud to serve so many, including the NORAD Tracks Santa program."
"We are hoping for another record setting year for NORAD Tracks Santa and a delightful experience for each and every caller and volunteer," said Major Mark Lazane, NORAD Tracks Santa Program Manager. "As we know each call matters, so we're happy to have Avaya's trusted technology behind us ensuring that we can support the hudreds of thousands of calls and interactions jamed into a short 24 hour period."
The NORAD Tracks Santa Web site features family-friendly games, videos and information about Santa. Details about Santa's travels will also be available on December 24 through social media, including www.youtube.com/noradtrackssanta, https://twitter.com/NoradSanta and https://www.instagram.com/noradtrackssanta_official/ .
The 1-877-HI-NORAD (1-877-446-6723) hotline is scheduled to start at 4 a.m. MST on Dec. 24 and end on 12 a.m. MST, Christmas morning.

Singapore government said on Tuesday they are exploring Noble Group Ltd for supposed false and deceptive statements, only days after the company said its $3.5 billion debt restructuring had obtained acceptance from UK and Bermuda courts.
The Commercial Affairs Department of Singapore Police, the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) stated in a joint announcement they were looking to the alleged false statements, breaches of disclosure requirements by Noble Group, along with possible of accounting standards by its own fully-owned Singapore subsidiary.
It wasn't immediately known if the analysis is going to have any effect on Noble's restructuring and the planned list of the restructured company.
ACRA stated it had advised the board of supervisors of Noble Resources International, a component of Noble, of those supposed breaches of the Companies Act and it has to offer more info.
"This follows a comprehensive overview of the financial statements of Noble Resources International (NRI) for the fiscal years ended 31 December 2012 to 31 December 2016," the announcement said.
Noble didn't immediately comment on a Reuters question about the announcement from the government.
Noble, after Asia's leading commodity dealer, has witnessed its market worth all but wiped from $6 billion in February 2015 following its bookkeeping was contested by Iceberg Research, that will be directed by a former Noble credit advisor.
Noble has shrunk its own company by selling billions of dollars of resources, taking hefty writedowns and cutting hundreds of jobs after a slip in investor confidence.
It's currently trying to transform to an Asia-focused coal-trading company after a controversial $3.5 billion debt-for-equity swap.

Erwin Steps Down at WH
Whitman-Hanson Cross Country and Track Coach Keith Erwin stepped down today after 10 years with the Panthers to accept the cross country coaching position at Curry College in Milton.
"It is so hard to leave a school and program I love so much. I went to Whitman-Hanson and it has been my home for so long," Erwin said today. "This was just something I couldn't pass up. Telling my team today was one of the most difficult things I've had to do, but I am confident the kids will continue to make me proud and have great success."
This past year, Erwin added the duties of boys cross country coach to go along with his role as the girls head coach. He became the girls coach in 2004 and since that time amassed a record of 84-6 which includes a 7 year run of consecutive league titles (2007-2013). The team won the Eastern Mass State Championship in 2007, 2011 and 2012 and the state title in 2012. He was named the Enterprise coach of the year in 2008, Boston Globe coach of the year in 2011 and the MSTCA coach of the year in 2007 and 2011. This past year he led the boys to the Patriot League title. In addition to his cross country and track coaching duties, Erwin had also served as the girls' tennis coach before stepping down to spend more time with his newborn daughter this spring.
"We are sorry to lose such an incredible coach but at the same time we a thrilled for Keith. This is an incredible opportunity and the students at Curry will certainly benefit from his coaching talents," Whitman-Hanson Athletic Director Bob Rodgers said. "His teams have accomplished so much in his tenure but beyond that, he always understood the concept of educational athletics and the role it plays in the development of young people."
Whitman-Hanson will begin the search for a new coach immediately.


Banking giant HSBC has reported lower than expected pre-tax profits for the 2015 year.
The London-based bank reports pre-tax profits rose one per cent to £13.2 billion, which was well short of analysts forecasts of around £15.2 billion.
HSBC's fourth quarter performance dragged down full year results with a £604 million loss for the period.
On an adjusted basis, full year profits were down seven per cent to £14.4 billion, down from £15.5 billion the previous year.
Adjusted full year revenue rose one per cent to £40.4 billion.
HSBC said adjusted operating costs rose five per cent to £25.54 billion, "reflecting wage inflation, business growth and investment in regulatory programmes and compliance".
The bank announced recently it would reverse a decision to enforce a pay freeze on staff at the beginning of February, stating it would fund pay rises for 2015 from its variable bonus pool for 2016 after "listening to feedback".
HSBC, which has a strong presence in Asia, warned of a "bumpier" ride amid slowing economic growth in China.
Group chairman Douglas Flint said the challenges caused by an economic slowdown in China were likely to persist, stating it "will undoubtedly contribute to a bumpier financial environment".
HSBC's London listed shares were down four per cent in early Monday trading.

BUFFALO, N.Y., USA, October 30, 2018 - PostProcess Technologies Inc. has announced the first step in its global expansion with the opening of its first international office and the launch of its product line in Europe.
PostProcess Technologies (PPT) is recognized as the first and only provider of automated, intelligent post-processing solutions for 3D printing support removal and surface finishing. To date, both functions have exclusively been performed manually or using traditional manufacturing machinery. The European launch of PostProcess, which previously operated exclusively in North America, changes that.
PostProcess Technologies' first European office is in Sophia-Antipolis, the technology hub near Nice, France. PostProcess Technologies International, the global arm of PPT, is led by Bruno Bourguet, a seasoned global executive with proven success establishing revolutionary enterprise technology solutions. Previously, Mr. Bourguet was the global head of sales for HERE, the digital map company acquired by a consortium of German automotive companies.
PostProcess solutions integrate software, hardware, and chemistry, designed specifically for additive manufacturing, to create unique, transformative results. The software operating intelligence has been built by benchmarking more than 500,000 parts of all print technologies and continues to learn from its growing installed base of machines.
The PostProcess technology automates the final stages of 3D printing (support removal and surface finish) which allows for automated production of customer-ready 3D parts. This is fundamental to scaling 3D printing for mass customization. Because PostProcess solutions are automated, digitized systems, they enable full digitization of additive manufacturing for the Industry 4.0 factory floor.
"Our solutions are used across all 3D printer technologies for both high-volume custom part production or one-off prototypes," said Bourguet. PostProcess' technology will debut at formnext in Frankfurt, Germany on November 13-16 where live demos will be available in Booth 3.0-H68.

Jeremy Renner was trying to save his nephew during snowplow accident, sheriff's report says
This is what Jeremy Renner looks like from the intensive care unit 1:03
(CNN) — Actor Jeremy Renner was trying to prevent his snowplow from hitting his nephew when he was dragged under the vehicle and crushed on New Year's Day, according to an incident report from the Washoe County Sheriff's Office.
The vehicle began to slide to the side after the "Avengers" star used it to pull his nephew's truck out of the snow, and the parking brake, which was not engaged, would have stopped him, according to the incident report. edited, submitted Friday. The document was obtained by CNN on Tuesday through a public records request.
Sheriff gives details of Jeremy Renner's accident with a snowplow 2:14
"The Pistenbully snow groomer began to slide, causing Renner to exit the vehicle without setting the emergency brake," the report's conclusion read.
"Although the Pistenbully had some mechanical problems, based on our mechanical inspection, it is believed that the parking brake would have prevented the Pistenbully from moving forward. When Renner tried to stop or swerve the Pistenbully to avoid injury (to his nephew), he was dragged under the vehicle and was run over."
The report also notes that the brake indicator light inside the vehicle's cabin was not working and that "mechanical problems may have been a factor in this accident."
Renner was airlifted to the hospital, where he stayed for more than two weeks, underwent at least two surgeries and received treatment in the intensive care unit.
A 911 call log obtained by CNN said Renner was "completely crushed under[a]large snowmobile" and had "extreme [dificultad] to breathe". He goes on to say that "the right side of his chest is collapsed, his upper torso is crushed."
The incident began on New Year's Day, when Renner towed his nephew's truck out of the actor's driveway after it got stuck in the snow, he told investigators while he was hospitalized on Jan. 5, according to the report from the court. incident.
After successfully towing the truck out of the snow and onto the street, Renner said the snowplow began to "slide to the side," then "started rolling down the hill." At the time, Renner told investigators that he jumped out of the snowplow.
"Once he got out of the Pistenbully, he realized it was heading directly (towards his nephew])," the report says. "He was afraid that the Pistenbully would hit him (his nephew), so he decided to try to stop or deflect the Pistenbully."
A look into the life and career of Jeremy Renner 2:23
To get into the snowplow cab, Renner had to climb onto the moving track, the report states. When he jumped onto the track, the report says, Renner was "immediately dragged under the track on the left side."
"The Pistenbully ran over it and continued on the road," the report says. He lay down on the ground and concentrated on his breathing while [su sobrino y otros] They were helping him until medical personnel arrived on the scene."
Renner, who plays archer superhero Hawkeye in the Marvel movies and series, says he broke more than 30 bones in the incident.
He posted a photo to Instagram last week with a caption that read: "Morning workouts, resolutions, everything changed this new year…. Spawned from tragedy to my entire family, and quickly focused on uniting love ❤ I want to thank EVERYONE for your messages and consideration for me and my family… Much love and appreciation to all of you. These 30+ broken bones will mend, strengthen, as love and bond with family and friends deepen. Love and blessings to all of you."
A disability was not believed to be a factor in the incident, the report also concludes.

Thoracic aortic aneurysms occur far less frequently than abdominal aortic aneurysms. The risk factors for TAA are similar to those of AAA. Congenital risk factors include male gender, family history and connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Acquired factors include age, smoking, hypertension, and history of other aortic or peripheral aneurysms. The incidence of AAA for those with TAA is approximately 40%, while only 5% of those with AAA will harbor a TAA. Therefore, the thoracic aorta should be imaged at some point during the initial evaluation of an AAA.
The gold -standard modality for accurate anatomic evaluation of a TAA is a high-quality CTA. Typically, this involves a thin slice CT scan using a timed-bolus intravenous contrast enhanced technique without oral contrast from the humeral to femoral heads.
Patients who present with TAA have a higher burden of cardiovascular and pulmonary co-morbidities than those who present with AAA. For intact, asymptomatic aneurysms the strongest determinant of rupture is the diameter. The reasonable size threshold for elective repair of TAA is 6.0 centimeters. The risk of rupture and/or death at this size is 10-15% per year and justifies the risks of repair.
There is no medical treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms. Two treatments that are currently available include open surgical repair and endovascular repair(TEVAR). Open surgical repair of a TAA is one of the biggest operations the human body can tolerate. The typical surgical approach involves a thoracotomy with or without an abdominal extension depending on the location and extent of the aneurismal segment with replacement using a polyester graft. Surgical mortality ranges from 5-10% and the risk of complications is quite significant.
Endovascular repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms has become a viable, less invasive alternative to open thoracic repair. Endovascular treatment involves delivery of a stent graft over a guidewire and deployment above and below the aneurysm. Success or failure is critically dependent on the anatomy of the thoracic aorta. Mortality ranges 3-5% and major complications occur at a much lower rate than open surgical repair. This procedure offers significant advantages of improved functional outcomes over the open surgical repair.

it's vaulted ceilings and tessellations
woven at beyond sight-limit / woven light
the rainbow architecture of the eye.
in the circumference of his eye. in the great glories of his eye. on the sea there upon that surface rounded.
And this is why we must never stare, we never look AT, as poets we won't look at. The interrogatory stare pins down what it stares at, fixes it, creates an artificial tableau, we abstract ourselves out of the picture, imagine ourselves disembodied eye hovering above like a drone in the sky- so we have to find that other way of looking, involved and participatory,
And then we can see the trees breathing and the clouds start moving again across the sky and the grasses sway and birds take flight and the children's games begin again. The continuum of events, the narrative thread, and us as a moving part within that great whirl of motion, as air also is always in motion, bifurcated by the blade of our bodies, washing around us and spiralling in vortexes.

Essential grapejuice essay on the eye vs ear struggle in Finnegans wake which is also Joyce vs Lewis and time vs space and is picked up on and extended by McLuhan. I'll find it in a sec.
have you read this yet? should i excerpt?
i will excerpt
It all boils down to a tale of Ear and Eye, a tale of Time and Space, of Saturn and Jupiter, of Shem and Shaun. The tale is one of warring brothers, yet even this relationship and these roles are not fixed. The rival brothers -- Cain and Abel -- can also be depicted as lovers -- Eve and Adam, Binah and Chokhmah. They can also represent the Oedipal struggle between Father and Son -- Chronos and Zeus.
As Joyce realized in the Wake, though, much more is at play than just the myth of Oedipus, than just the Freudian reduction, however powerful this is. The struggle of Ear against Eye, Eye against Ear and their occasional harmony, subsumes and transcends all myths and all relations.
McLuhan puts this bluntly in The Gutenberg Galaxy (1962):
...there can be no greater contradiction or clash in human cultures than that between those representing the eye and the ear...
And this is echoed in Understanding Media (1964):
The ultimate conflict between sight and sound, between written and oral kinds of perception and organization of existence is upon us.
But, prior to McLuhan, it is most candidly proclaimed in the Wake:
TELEVISION KILLS TELEPHONY IN BROTHERS BROIL
With the onset of print, with the onset of Gutenberg from about 1440 and onward, the tyranny of the Eye fully dethroned the tyranny of the Ear, but between the two was a long and fascinating transition. The scribal or manuscript cultures from the development of the phonetic alphabet to the beginning of print during the Renaissance represented, for McLuhan, a unique blending of Ear and Eye. Once more, and during the High Middle Age of Europe in particular, a "communion of the senses" became possible and was reflected in society.
Such a balance was not to last. Gutenberg's great invention was again to set the kaleidoscope of the human sensorium to spin. Europe soon became flooded with printed books. Everything changed.
The development of perspective in painting, the rise of the individual, the emergence and standardization of national languages, nationalism and national wars in general, the Bible-based Protestant Reformation, the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution and the age of mass production and the mass man, all of these and more were direct outgrowths of print. A mutation has occurred. The ratio of the senses has been skewed. The Eye became master."
"The age of print is the age of linearity, of standardization, of uniformity, of mechanical processes, of centralization, of single-point perspective, of rigid categorization, of analysis, of interchangeable parts and interchangeable people. In the newly imposed national languages of Europe grammar became rigid, spelling became fixed. The visual spell had been cast."
The eye is sealed. The ear is open.
is that a killah priest lyric?
I was actually thinking about Lynch saying the body part discovered in Blue Velvet had to be an ear,
"It had to be an ear because it's an opening. An ear is wide and, as it narrows, you can go down into it. And it goes somewhere vast. . . "

"It is difficult to look for long at the strange single eye crowning the pyramid which is found on every dollar bill and not begin to believe the story, a little."
who said that? me?
Craner on one of his old blogs.
Is the eye evil because it's the window to the soul? You can tell whether someone's on drugs from looking into their eyes and the Japanese have something called "sanpaku" which refers to how much white of the eye is visible,
According to Chinese/Japanese medical face reading, when the white part of the eye, known as the sclera, is visible beneath the iris, it represents physical imbalance in the body and is claimed to be present in alcoholics, drug addicts and people who over-consume sugar or grain. Conversely, when the upper sclera is visible it is said to be an indication of mental imbalance in people such as psychotics, murderers, and anyone rageful. In either condition, it is believed that these people attract accidents and violence.
In August 1963, George Ohsawa, an advocate for macrobiotics, predicted that President John F. Kennedy would experience great danger because of his sanpaku condition.
In 1965 Ohsawa, assisted by William Dufty, wrote You Are All Sanpaku, which offers the following perspective on the condition:
"For thousands of years, people of the Far East have been looking into each other's eyes for signs of this dreaded condition. Any sign of sanpaku meant that a man's entire system — physical, physiological and spiritual — was out of balance. He had committed sins against the order of the universe and he was therefore sick, unhappy, insane, what the West has come to call "accident prone". The condition of sanpaku is a warning, a sign from nature, that one's life is threatened by an early and tragic end."

Q: How to check that which properties/entries are modified and which are not on Editing a record in EF 6 I am developing an MVC 5 application using EF 6. The auto-generated POST method for Edit is:
public ActionResult Edit([Bind(Include = "Id,Name,Address,Phone,SSNo,D1")] ABC abc)
{
     if (ModelState.IsValid)
     {
         db.Entry(abc).State = EntityState.Modified;
         db.SaveChanges();
     }
     return View(abc);
}

Is there any procedure/method by which I can get that which entries are modified and what were the original values of those entries. I have tried the method marked as an answer in this question but it didn't get any changes although changes have been made, i.e. the loop does not iterates.
My code is:
 public ActionResult Edit([Bind(Include = "Id,Name,Address,Phone,SSNo,D1")] ABC abc)
 {
     if (ModelState.IsValid)
     {
          db.ABCs.Attach(abc);
          var myObjectState = ((IObjectContextAdapter)db).ObjectContext.ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntry(abc);
          var modifiedProperties = myObjectState.GetModifiedProperties();
          foreach (var propName in modifiedProperties)
          {
                Console.WriteLine("Property {0} changed from {1} to {2}",
                propName,
                myObjectState.OriginalValues[propName],
                myObjectState.CurrentValues[propName]);
          }
          Console.ReadKey();
          db.Entry(abc).State = EntityState.Modified;
          db.SaveChanges();
          return Json(abc);
     }
     return View(abc);
 }

ABC model contains many values other than mentioned in method parameters, but I am only passing those which can be edited
What I am trying to do is to maintain a log in my database of all the changes made to a document. I want to include only the changes and the original values before modification in the log not the complete record.
How can I get this?

A: I implemented this extension method for you:
namespace YourProject.Extensions
{
    public static class ModelExtensions
    {
        public static IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, object>> ModifiedValues<T>(this T obj, T modifiedObject)
        {
            foreach (var property in typeof(T).GetProperties().Where(p => !p.GetGetMethod().IsVirtual))
            {
                if (property.GetValue(obj).ToString() != property.GetValue(modifiedObject).ToString())
                {
                    yield return new KeyValuePair<string, object>(property.Name, property.GetValue(modifiedObject));
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

It's neither the fastest nor the most efficient, but worked in my tests.
Use:
var originalEntity = await db.Entities.AsNoTracking().FirstOrDefaultAsync(e => e.EntityId == modifiedEntity.EntityId);
var modifiedValues = originalEntity.ModifiedValues<MyEntity>(modifiedEntity).ToList();
