"Spring training is 50 days long," Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais said. But young pitchers — many of whom didn't throw many innings last season — will have to be watched closely. He practiced on the first day of spring training Wednesday but an MRI later revealed the break.

Home 1 Simon Cowell wants to be immortal
Simon Cowell wants to be immortal
By alexanderlawrie -
By Oliver Farrimond
POP Idol guru Simon Cowell has told the Prime Minister that he would like to be frozen after he dies.
The acid-tongued judge made the announcement to a shocked group of celebrity guests at a dinner party hosted by Gordon Brown at his Downing Street flat.
Cowell informed the PM that he would be performing a 'valuable service to the nation' by doing so.
He said: "I have decided to freeze myself when I die – you know, cryonics. You pay a lot of money and you get stuck in a deep freeze once you've been declared dead."
"Medical science is bound to work out a way of bringing us back to life in the next century or so, and I want to be available when they do."
He added: "I am completely serious – I would be doing the nation a valuable service."
Over 100 people in England have already signed up to be cryogenically frozen after they die.
The procedure, which costs anywhere between £20,000 and £120,000, involves a team of experts draining blood from the body and storing it at temperatures of around -200 degrees
Devotees such as Mr Cowell hope that in the future medical science will be sufficiently advanced to bring them back from the dead.
Mr Brown responded that he was not so sure the public would appreciate him making the same gesture.
He said: "There may even be a public campaign to stop me being frozen."
The dinner party, held at Number 11 Downing Street last Thursday (12th Feb), also featured columnist Piers Morgan, actress Amanda Holden and BBC presenter Christine Bleakley.
Cowell, 49, made his name in music production but is now best known for his appearances as the sarcastic judge of The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent.
He went on to assure Mr Brown and other guests that despite tough times, Britain was still a great country.
He said: "We've been through a lot worse than this recession – you just need to make people feel proud of it again, like we do on 'Britain's Got Talent'.
"The British spirit is a powerful and unique one, and we're very talented too."

Abstract: At present, Java is a major compulsory course for computer majors in Colleges and universities, and it is very important for students to work in the future or continue to upgrade. How to learn this course and improve students' interest in learning has become the focus. Since the previous Java courses are taught by teachers and computer lab classes, such teaching methods make students learn very boring, lack of interest. And the experimental class is also formalized, the exercises are too basic, can not effectively improve the level of students to write programs. This article mainly discusses the way of case study to explain the java course, so that students can better grasp the ability to use Java theory to solve practical problems, so that students can learn the course more actively.

Talking about testing, most of the time we are used to working with sets of data that will be used over and over again. Then a refresh comes to the environment, and again we will have the same data, maybe some changes or addition will come but it will be the same.
Most of the time, this data comes from production, and when we talk about production data we know that multiple issues come along.
The first one is creating the rules that will bring the data we need, meaning, the subset rules. Sometimes this may not be a complicated thing to do. For example, if the testing team is looking for just generic data, then a full copy can be made.
However, what happens when you are looking for specific data? The team that is creating the subset needs to have a deep understanding of the database model since they will need to generate the data set based on the specific needs.
Along with the subset idea, two significant factors are present: TIME and STORAGE. When creating a subset, planning will always be necessary since we are creating a copy of the data we already have, and as we know this process can be slow and a high resource consumer.
We have created our subset; now we have a greater concern to face: SECURITY. When taking data from production we need to be sure to remove all sensitive data we may have, and what does that mean?
The data must go through a profile process that will lead us to create masking rules that will get rid of all names, phones, social security numbers, credit card numbers, and all that info that can get to the testing environment.
All this sounds like a bunch of work to do every couple of weeks or every time we need to refresh an environment, even more if we maintain multiple ones.
After all this work we may believe that we have enough data to go with the test, right? Usually, that is not correct. Typically, your production data will only provide a 10-20% coverage and talking about coverage, which is a small percentage.
It would be great if we could get the exact data when we needed it, with less effort and in less time, right? Well, that is the purpose of Grid Tools Datamaker, a tool that will help us create synthetic data.
To start using Datamaker, the first thing to do is a recon on the structures we are going to be using. This phase is the most important since the analysis will give us the rules we will follow to replicate all of the characteristics of production data.
Grid Tools provides us with an extremely helpful Profiling tool that will take a sample of the data our source has. The source might be the current DB we are using for testing, a target or a golden copy we might have from production.
The Profiling tool will give us a quick understanding of what we are dealing with, we can see the different values we have for each column, its type and if we can leave it empty.
Now that we have an idea of how the data is formed, it is also important to know how all these tables are related. Sometimes the environment teams will have a DB relational model, sometimes they do not. Sadly the second option is the most common one, and that is why Grid Tools has another feature that will be useful: GT Diagrammer.
As its name makes reference, GT Diagrammer will create a "diagram" of all the tables' relations we have on the project. This graphic will help us see which tables have children or which ones are not related at all. This may sound like a small feature, but when you are getting to know the system you are creating data for, it proves to be very useful.
While we "play" with the different options GT Diagrammer has, it will prove to be more and more versatile, we will be able to see multiple layouts options and even remove relations if needed.
RED – Means that the table has NO parents but it HAS children, we could think that these are the catalog tables we need to get info from.
GREEN – They HAVE parents and HAVE children, meaning that they must be the tables we are going to be using to connect information to the system.
YELLOW – These are the ones WITH parents, but NO children; these are going to be important too since we may have to work with them to maintain the integrity of the system.
BLACK – At last these are the ones that are NOT related at all, sometimes these are tables we are not going to be using, they may be logs or tables that are not used anymore.
Once we have this sampling and we know the relations, we are now ready to set the rules and formulas that will build each one of the particular data sets.
The data set can be managed as a simple spreadsheet that will allow us to add relations, formulas, and values that will create unique combinations of data based on our needs.
At a first sight, it may look scary and confusing, but the window is not that complicated. The left panel will show the tables available to use, on top we have the one we are currently using (1) and then the ones that we can use (2).
The right panel, shows the tables we have opened (3) and the columns of the table we are working on (4) with the values we have set up to create the data (5). On the top, we have the tools to add (6) and remove (7) rows to the set or to get a preview of our work (8). And lastly we have multiple options to open, manipulate and publish the data we are working on (9).
If you want to know more about how to create a Datamaker data set, please visit our YouTube channel and check our Grid-tools Test Data Management Overview & Demo webinar.
Another common problem is attempting to keep track of changes. Datamaker uses a tree-like structure making versioning as straightforward as possible. It lets us handle multiple versions for the same project and share information between them.
We can also have multiple projects on the same server. Each one of them being assigned to the team/group that is working with it, without the risk of mixing or confusing project requirements.
As you can see, Grid Tools suite can help us improve the way we generate data. Making the process less painful and more dynamic, following the right and precise direction of our needs. If you want to know more about how Grid Tools can help you, feel free to contact us.


Instagram epitomizes the increasing importance of visual posts in social networking. Images draw people in like nothing else. The audience engagement rate on Instagram, for example, is much higher than on Facebook or Twitter.
Given this, Instagram can be a successful instrument to strengthen your brand if you follow several key guidelines. Peg Fitzpatrick, an author, speaker and social media marketing pro, teamed up with Sprout Social recently for an Instagram 101 webinar. Here, we summarize seven take-aways from her presentation that will help you get the most out of your Instagram presence.
Instagram is not just about taking pictures. You should ask yourself why you are publishing content on Instagram at all. What are your goals? Who is the audience you want to reach? A good exercise is to come up with three topics for your Instagram account and use them as guides. This could be campus life, behind the scenes, or science.
An Instagram post is basically a mini blog post with a compelling image combined with a short description to create meaning. It's all about telling a visual story.
Experiment with different content and try to discern what works and what doesn't. Think about what you want to tell your audience about your brand. What makes your campus unique, for example? Try to be consistent and bring added value: Does your post and picture help someone? Is it entertaining? Are you being true to the topics you've promised to cover?
The key to success on Instagram is to post the best pictures you have. Yes, you can take great pictures with your smartphone, but think about using an actual camera once in a while if you have one. And take as many pictures as you can, but be sure to post only the best.
You can even plan ahead and make a list of objects you want to photograph. There is no such thing as being too organized.
Use natural light whenever possible and try to hold your phone or camera as high up as possible, to get the best angle. Don't use zoom, just try to get as close as possible or crop the picture afterwards.
Try to take pictures with the rule of thirds in mind. Don't place the object of interest right in the middle. Camera apps like camera awesome help you by providing a grid structure to take the perfect shots. Photographer Richard Schabetsberger has some great tips on how to take pictures with your smartphone.
Instagram filters are an easy way to make your pictures look compelling. To draw attention to the main object in your picture, blur the background to move the important objects in focus. Use the online design tool Canva to edit your pictures and add text to it. Other helpful apps for editing or adding text are Afterlight, Facetune, Over, and Word Swag.
Perfect pictures are one thing but it's important to think beyond the timeline. The entire appearance of your profile is important. Try to avoid too many similar scenes (like group shots). Style and coordinate your grid. A perfect example is beauty blogger Michelle Phan's Instagram account. She uses a color scheme and is very consistent.
Hashtags are a great way to connect your content to other users. You can also come up with specific hashtags to group your pictures by topic. You can add hashtags in the description or in the comments of your pictures (if you put a hashtag in the comments, your description might look a bit cleaner).
Don't hold back when using hashtags. Research actually shows that you have a much higher chance of getting likes by using up to 30 hashtags on your pictures, which is the limit on hashtags you can use. As it's normally not that easy to come up with 30 meaningful hashtags, though, other social media pros suggest that 5 to 10 will do the trick.
Like all other social channels, Instagram isn't a one-way street. Comment and like other pictures to build your community and strengthen your brand.
Use Trello or Evernote to optimize text and hashtags. Trello is great if you want to can add a due date to your task on Trello so you always get the overview of what to post at which time.
This is just an example of what a workflow could look like. Based on the applications you are using, you could come up with a different workflow that might suit your needs even better.
No worries, no one is born a master. Experiment, play with it and find out how others are doing it. You can learn a lot by just browsing through Instagram and getting inspired by others. Keep exploring and learning from Instagram stars like Alice Gao.
At the recent CASE Conference in Miami, Stanford's Alumni Association shared their behavioral segmentation approach, what they call the "Relationship Model," which allows them to communicate with their alumni in more effective and relevant ways.
The objective of the model was to identify how alumni interacted with the university and trying to understand shifts between groups and how to increase impact with relevant communication.
Twitter is great, but we all know it can get overwhelming at times. A more organized approach to Twitter can be achieved by making use of its less known functions: its lists.

Keeping fit during Ramadan: How different people stay healthy over the holy month

Date of publication: 22 May, 2018
Follow @The_NewArab
Ramadan series: Staying fit during Ramadan is a challenge for almost every Muslim but that doesn't mean their stories are all the same...
Ramadan, fitness, health, weight loss, nutrition
Ramadan is a time for worship, self-reflection and an opportunity to become a better person. Muslims across the world use this holy month of fasting and prayer to restore not only their relationship with God, but their relationship with themselves.
One of the main aspects of preparing for Ramadan is to figure out ways to better yourselves and implement them during the holy month.
Carrying out these changes can at times be seen to be more sustainable throughout the year, because Ramadan is a month where a person's discipline and self-control are put to the test not only during fasting, but after the fast has been broken.
For those who want to take Ramadan as an opportunity to cultivate a healthier diet, the discipline may feel like it has just started at the dining table by refusing fried foods or a slice of knafeh.
Finding an exercise routine is even more complicated, because the human body can only take so much strain when fasting and in countries where fasting hours are long, many complain about it being difficult to find some real time to exercise after iftar.
"Having a fitness routine during Ramadan should only be done for people who are used to exercising," personal trainer Charline Campbell tells The New Arab.
She warns that people adding extra pressure on their bodies when they are not used to it is not only counterproductive, but also dangerous.
This does not excuse a sedentary lifestyle during the holy month, but the concept of starting an exercise journey in Ramadan is one that is not recommended and people wanting to remain healthy should focus on nutrition and begin working out after Eid.
'Lighter than usual'
For those who already have an exercise routine, cardio is not recommended.
"If a person is used to working out, their workouts should be lighter than usual," Campbell adds.
"It should be limited to four exercises and three sets of each with 10 reps and when fasting, exercise should only be done close to breaking your fast or early morning (before the fast begins)."
What is deemed a light or heavy exercise changes from person to person, so it is important for the fasting person to know when to stop and when to tone down an exercise to prevent injury from bad form out of fatigue and dehydration.
'My body is sacred'
The Islamic belief of the human body is that it has been given to a soul as a responsibility to take care of it, which is one of the most under-discussed reasons that Muslims exercise during Ramadan.
"I believe that Allah has given me this body as an ammanah (object of trust) and it is my duty to take care of it," London-based Shaima tells The New Arab.
This is one of many reasons that she has chosen to sustain an exercise regime during Ramadan for the first time this year.
"For me, health is wealth. I'm in my early-20s and I shouldn't be gasping when I go up a flight of stairs. At the same time, I want to look good. I don't care what society thinks of how I look, as long as I think I look good and I feel healthy, that's all that matters to me."
The concept of a human's body being an ammanah does not only extend to health. Contrary to popular belief, wanting to accentuate a God given beauty is something that is highly endorsed in Islam and it is not mutually exclusive to leading a healthy lifestyle in matters of religion and in matters of general health.
"I don't plan on pushing myself too much, I will do 20 minutes of weights and then 20-40 minutes of light cardio after I finish work, just before iftar," she says, adding the trick for herself is to treat Ramadan like every other month for her exercise routine: "Even though in Ramadan, you should take it easy, it's not special in the sense that life stops – people used to fight wars fasting at the time of the Prophet Muhammed, so it doesn't make sense to become lazy when we can exercise just because we're fasting."
Shaima says she will make sure her nutrition follows suit with her exercise routine during the holy month.
"I won't have a cheat meal, like having KFC or other fast food during Ramadan. I will make sure I avoid samosas and other unhealthy sides we have on the table during Ramadan, but I will be surrounded by traditional sweets."
Even though in Ramadan, you should take it easy, it's not special in the sense that life stops – people used to fight wars fasting at the time of the Prophet Muhammed, so it doesn't make sense to become lazy when we can exercise just because we're fasting
Fasting through a weight-loss journey
Faisal, living in Kuwait, he too will be exercising in Ramadan out of a drive to continue his weight loss journey.
"My journey started out over something really silly, actually – a jacket. A jacket that I wanted to wear really, really badly," he tells The New Arab.
"All my life I've struggled with weight loss and gain but it took something extremely small to get me to take simple steps, at first, towards a better me."
Like Shaima, the fact that he intended to lead a healthier lifestyle for himself rather than out of succumbing to societal pressures is a part of his ability to stay motivated.
"I was doing it for myself rather than others perception of me and in my eyes the only way a life style change sticks is if it comes from a source of self-improvement over social pressure."
Faisal says fasting in Ramadan is an extension of his weight loss journey and the holy month makes weight loss easier for him because of the discipline needed to fast and the inability to eat as much as usual through the night.
"You're already putting yourself under a stricter regimen of sorts – what would feel unfulfilling on a normal day is more than enough after a long fast," he tells The New Arab.
The process is frustrating and teeters on maddening and sometimes you'll question if it's worth it and the answer is a simple yes
Despite this, he still sees a risk of overeating which can at times take even more discipline to say no.
"There is the challenge of combatting the culture of indulgence that surrounds Ramadan – if it can be overcome in Ramadan, it can be a very, very productive month," Faisal explained.
The discipline needed in Ramadan to make it a productive month is one that extends to his general weight loss journey, reminding him that it is possible to say no and to focus on a specific goal even if there is a tub of ice cream waiting for him to indulge after a 15-hour long fast in extreme heat.
"It's not always fun, it's not always rewarding, sometimes punishing; the process is frustrating and teeters on maddening and sometimes you'll question if it's worth it and the answer is a simple yes," says Faisal.

John Winger: I'm pacing myself, Sergeant.
When it comes to buying goods and services, however, the payments process is expected to be instantaneous and perfect every time. The order of the day from consumers is to receive information and pay for items as quickly as possible with a minimum number of mouse clicks. The expectation level is far exceeding the speed of technology.
How did we get to this point? I was very happy typing my college term papers on an electric typewriter which was significantly easier than its manual counterparts. During my days as an auditor, I was able to type my reports on a computer and later was able to automatically send it to our word processing department 400 miles away. When I started with the Credit Union, we instituted e-mail that made simple communication more efficient. Over the last fifteen years, we built online and mobile banking systems as our members wanted to transact business easier and faster without having to visit a branch. We're pacing ourselves by adding services methodically and only when we are assured that service is reliable.
But here's the problem. As payments have become easier, so has spending. When spending becomes as natural as eating, then less time is spent analyzing the affordability of the item. When e-tailing, today's term for online and mobile retail sales, was in its infancy, prices were reduced to get the consumer to buy online. That is no longer the case. Also, impulse buying is much easier. The results are obvious. The speed of online purchases has deeply affected the financial health of our society.
The day after Apple announced their Apple Pay product, a member called and asked when we were going to implement it. As cool as Apple Pay is, and in my opinion will be much more secure than the current plastic cards, there are glitches and issues that have not been addressed. Your Credit Union's reaction is to continue to watch Apple Pay (as well as the just-introduced Android Pay) and deliver it to our members when the glitches and issues are fixed. We're just pacing ourselves.
The answer is simple. Online purchasers, as well as financial service firms like banks and credit unions, should slow down and pace themselves. Maybe John Winger was right after all.

A decision is made for Sidonia to venture to the Lem System, but this is being done for ulterior motives (can't reveal too much, plot point. Gigantic plot point). The discovery of 'ancient technology' has allowed our band of fighters to create Tsumugi, a caliber of Gauna, but under control of Sidonia. The plan: go to the Gauna home base and destroy them once and for all. The story details all the machinations and struggles it takes to attempt such a tremendous and dangerous task.
The real centerpiece of the show is this odd relationship we see before us. Tsumugi is not much more than a child and is anxious to learn all that it can (it is genderless, but sounds feminine). With Tanikaze getting heaved out of the dorms, he has to find a place to live in the Residential Area, but with a way for Tsumugi to be allowed to visit (by using the pipe system that snakes around the city ship). We also explore more the emotional connection between Tanikaze and Shinatose. They may have even gone on a date, but you really can't see it as such.
Since I saw the first season and have been venturing into CG anime, the artwork is not as jarring as it was, but there is still a lack of fluidity with movements and actions. I still feel that the artistic approach is/was done to show the rather soulless nature of this modern world. That 'people' here are merely tools or dogs or cannon fodder in the overall struggles against the Gauna. The needs of the one cannot trump the needs of the many. Any more platitudes I can heave in?
The fight sequences actually get tiresome. It is one of those situations where the main battlers fight and fight and fight and fight and fight and…you get the picture. They are just never able to land a telling blow to end all of this. The ending of this season left such a huge amount of unanswered questions that a third season needs to come around, to potentially resolve the issues raised in this run, but then create new issues to get resolved in that following season.
We do get a better sense of the world in which we have been placed, but with the hidden agenda out there, you are left confused as to overall goals. Perhaps it would have been better if we didn't know of these things, but I might be a big whiner and complain about getting blindsided by events. But life works that way. You don't get a voice message, saying "Hi, there; this is Life. I wanted to let you know that you are going to get disappointed. Soon. Catch you later." Ah, well, the fight goes on.
And remember, it's first run until you've seen it. We have done it!

I don't remember my childhood teds. But my sons had lots of teddies and they won a great big bear once. He was so big, they used to jump up and down on him before hugging him! That's where the idea for Too Big Bear came from. Then I saw a bear wearing wellies in a shop window and I thought that a bear wearing wellies would like nothing better than to jump in puddles. That's where the idea for Wellie Bear came from. Other teds appeared little by little and found their way into this collection, including Pocket Bear, The Ragged Bears and Rum Te Tum Ted, and then Peter Utton brought them to life with his fabulous illustrations.
