As I mentioned recently in my post about switching to BlogEngine.net, I said that I was switching to an ASP.NET web host, WebHost4Life. Now that it's been a few weeks since I first signed up for WebHost4Life, I figured I could write a little review about my experiences so far.
I am on the Professional plan, which costs $9.95/month (paid annually). I get unlimited bandwidth and a good amount of features, including ASP.Net 3.5 on IIS7, 1 MSSQL server and 3GB of storage. One drawback of their pricing structure is that the price you sign up under is only promotional for the first year. That kind of stinks to get a good price for the first year and then have to pay more as an established customer, but at least it's stated up front. At my promotional price, I feel that the price/features value is quite good. Even when the price goes up next year, I still imagine the value will be good, but I'll probably reevaluate when the time comes.
Compared to my experience with cPanel on Linux hosts, the control panel in WebHost4Life is a bit easier to work with. I think cPanel is fine, but I prefer WebHost4Life's control panel. It explains the features and changes well and is quite easy to use. So far I have only found one thing I could not do with it, which I explain in the "Support" section below.
Already I have had a few experiences with support, none of which were their fault. I was having trouble setting up my new BlogEngine.net application due to the fact that it has to be configured as a classic ASP.NET application in IIS. There was no way to set this in the control panel, so I had to ask support for assistance. I submitted my issue as a normal priority (3 of 5) and I had my issue resolved and a response within 24 hours, which is very acceptable to me, especially since I said it was not crital and for the price I pay.
I have not experienced a single power outage or slow down so far. Granted my site isn't getting much traffic, but it's nice to know that they don't have regular outage issues.
WebHost4Life uses SmarterMail as its email server, and I have to say, the web access for SmarterMail is quite impressive. I haven't got a chance to try the Outlook integration, but it's supposed to be good, too. Try out the demo to see for yourself.
The only other comparable ASP.NET host that I found for under $15/month was DiscountASP.net. I considered their service heavily since I read very good reviews and they are very comparable on price. The one thing that won me to WebHost4Life was that with DiscountASP.net, you must pay extra for MSSQL server.I get one free with WebHost4Life. If I have any issues down the road, I'll definitely try out DiscountASP.net.
If you think my review of WebHost4Life sounds good, give them a try. With a 45 day money back guarantee, you don't have to worry.

MariaDB Goes Cloud Native with AWS S3 API, and Introduces 'Smart' Transactions

MariaDB Goes Cloud Native with AWS S3 API, and Introduces 'Smart' Transactions
15 Jan 2020 4:10pm, by Mike Melanson
This week, MariaDB has launched the latest version of its enterprise open source database for hybrid transactional/analytical processing at scale. The company explains MariaDB Platform X4 is now cloud native by virtue of disaggregating storage from compute, with the introduction of support for Amazon Web Services' Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) APIs. Amazon S3, they explain, is vastly cheaper and allows for unlimited storage capacity, which is better for analytics, and saves the cost of using more expensive block storage like AWS Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) for fast transactions.
"You have this dis-aggregate architecture where you have one tier for storage and you have one tier for compute. MariaDB Platform will now use block storage for transactions and we will use Amazon S3-compatible object storage to store columnar data for analytics. In that regard, what we have is a cloud-native storage architecture, in so much as these different workflows use a different cloud storage service, one that's optimized for their characteristics," explained Shane Johnson, senior director of product marketing at MariaDB in an interview. "Some databases are great for transactions, some databases are great for analytics, and then you have MariaDB platform which can do both — we do transactions with row storage and we do analytics with columnar storage."
Johnson further explained that the addition of Amazon S3 object storage comes alongside the ability to run "smart transactions," as compared to "dumb transactions" or the create, read, update and delete (CRUD) operations referred to above as transactional. With smart transactions, Johnson offers an example of a travel website. While dumb transactions might refer to basic flight data such as departure times and flight costs, smart transactions could provide the probability of a particular flight to be on time. For a smart transaction to do this, it requires historical data, and Johnson says this was something many developers simply did not have access to.
"Often you might have a separate data warehouse for your business intelligence (BI) team and in that data warehouse is a complete history of all flights. With MariaDB platform, the idea is you don't need to maintain a separate data warehouse because if you do, that's often something that app developers can't access. It's only for BI data analysis and data science teams," said Johnson. "Now, with MariaDB, we could have that typical transactional data — upcoming flights and schedules — as well as the complete history of all past flights."
Because of the relative cheapness of Amazon S3 storage alongside its ability to scale, Johnson said, MariaDB can hold onto all of that historical data to provide analytical, smart transactions, all while providing the speed required for those dumb transactions with block storage like Amazon EBS. Overall, this combination is where Johnson says MariaDB is focused in its future efforts.
"This represents our direction and vision. This started with MariaDB Platform X3. That was when we first started to bring together transactions and analytics. Platform X4 fully integrates them to create a seamless experience for developers and DBAs, and you can expect to see more with each subsequent release as we build on this notion of smart transactions and insightful experiences. That's very much how we see databases having to evolve," he said.
MariaDB Platform X4 is now generally available and MariaDB Community Server 10.5 with columnar storage for analytical processing is expected to be available later this month.

keywords: horror survival horror curse fatal frame ghosts evil mystery miku camera obscura
date posted: 12:00 AM Wed May 25th, 2005
last revision: 12:00 AM Wed May 25th, 2005
The Fatal Frame games are defined by haunting sounds and music, richly detailed storylines, well crafted dialogue, beautiful and cursed spaces, truly frightening monsters, and by the sheer terror they create. For players who haven't already experienced a Fatal Frame game, they exemplify the horror-gaming genre, and Fatal Frame 3 is looking to be no exception.
While the first two Fatal Frame games revolved around siblings lost in horrifying and cursed places, Fatal Frame 3: The Tormented puts players in the role of the cursed young woman Rei Kurosawa. The game begins after Rei has lost her fiance in a car accident with her at the wheel. In order to cope with her guilt, Rei goes to the, House of Sleep.? Like the other Fatal Frame titles, the horror only intensifies from there. Rei uses the Camera Obscura that appeared in the previous games, and the camera serves as both a weapon against evil and as a way to capture clues needed to solve the mystery of the house.
Like the first Fatal Frame, where the main character Miku Hinaski awoke each morning with new scars, Fatal Frame 3 fixates on a tattoo on Rei that grows with each passing day. While the game focuses mostly on Rei solving the mystery of the tattoo, Fatal Frame 3 is also a Japanese style horror game with loads of enemies, darkened rooms, and completely terrifying gameplay. Also like the other Fatal Frame games, The Tormented promises the same profound and eerie sounds that created and sustained the mood in the earlier games. The Tormented will also take place in two worlds: the real and the nightmare. For horror gamers, the use of doubled worlds is a familiar concept from games like the first Silent Hill. The changing and haunted worlds are also familiar from the earlier Fatal Frame games. However, the promise of a larger world in The Tormented is a major benefit; the earlier Fatal Frame worlds managed to leave players wanting more.
Unlike the previous Fatal Frame games, Fatal Frame 3 will allow players to play with multiple characters, including Miku Hinasaki from the first title and Kei Amakura, who is Rei's friend and a journalist. The characters each have special skills that help them to escape from the House of Sleep. Additionally, Fatal Frame 3 promises to offer more information on Miku and her story, which began in the first game.
Much to my delight, and to the delight of other horror gaming fans, Fatal Frame 3 is set to release later this year. This is wonderful news for horror gamers because - given the success of its predecessors - Fatal Frame 3 will be an amazing and terrifying gaming experience. While many horror games are defined by their particular innovations in terms of presentation, game controls, or multiple character usage, Fatal Frame's history has been defined by its ability to present the most horrifying and intense gaming experiences.

The iconic duos acclaimed production, first presented at the Royal Opera House over four sold-out shows, was reprised at the venue for a further four nights, as part of their Super tour. Staged by long-term PSB designer Es Devlin and choreographer-director Lynne Page, the show was filmed by director David Barnard. Accompanied by two CDs of the complete audio of the live show plus a bonus feature of PSB live at Rock in Rio, which was recorded at the Brazilian festival. The Inner Sanctum production won rave reviews for a musical and visual extravaganza which brought lasers, dazzling choreography and immersive visuals and stage design to the ornate surroundings of the Royal Opera House for an electrifying show. The legendary Pet Shop Boys present Inner Sanctum in 2019.


If you are looking for a binge-worthy Netflix show to feast your eyes on, don't bother looking at what other users had to say. The streaming service deleted all user reviews of TV shows and movies from its website Friday.
If you are looking for a binge-worthy Netflix show to feast your eyes on, don't bother looking at what other users had to say.
The streaming service deleted all user reviews of TV shows and movies from its website on Friday. The company announced the move last month and stopped allowing customers to leave criticism or praise under a program title on July 30.
But don't fret: The removal shouldn't affect your Netflix experience. The reviews were visible only through the web, likely adding to the feature's downfall.
Purging reviews is the latest change Netflix has made to its rating system.
The streaming service switched from a five-star system to a simpler "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" rating in 2017. Netflix said the change was made to clear up confusion on how to rate the quality of a series or movie, but the company probably had other reasons — like user sabotage.
Trolls would purposefully "review bomb" a show title with hopes of bringing its ratings down. Most notably, Amy Schumer's Netflix comedy stand-up, "Amy Schumer: The Leather Special," was given a one-star rating last year after being spammed with negative reviews.
Users can still look forward to Netflix's own recommendations. It's a "great built-in way to only suggest content we think you'll love based on your viewing history," the company says.
Regardless of the change, most of us will still be watching.

GRIZZLIES ROLL TO SERIES WIN
JOLIET, Ill. — Jordan Barrett tossed six innings without allowing an earned run and the Gateway Grizzlies rattled off the first six runs of the game Thursday en route to an 8-2 win over the Joliet Slammers at Joliet Route 66 Stadium.
Barrett (1-1) struck out seven, walked two, and conceded only four hits while allowing two unearned runs for the victory.
Gateway (4-2) won its second straight game and the series.
As the second batter of the game, Andrew Daniel doubled down the left-field line and Shawon Dunston Jr. immediately followed with a two-bagger of his own to drive home Daniel. Although no other Grizzlies had hits in the first three innings, Daniel and Dunston Jr. supplied another Grizzlies run in the third inning: Daniel doubled again and Dunston Jr. knocked him in with an RBI triple.
Daniel finished 3-for-4 Thursday and 8-for-15 with five doubles and three RBIs in the three-game series. Dunston Jr.'s RBIs were his team-leading fourth and fifth of 2019.
Gateway added four more runs in the fourth inning when the first five Grizzlies to bat — Rafael Valera, Connor Owings, Austin O'Brien, Gunnar Buhner, and Matt McPhearson — all had hits. Buhner drove in two with a double, the only extra-base hit of the frame, and the other four chipped in with singles. O'Brien and McPhearson contributed an RBI each.
Joliet (3-4) scored two unearned runs against Barrett in the bottom of the fourth.
After three walks in the sixth inning, the Grizzlies scored two more on a Daniel single to left.
Patrick Boyle pitched the seventh inning out of the Grizzlies' bullpen and struck out all three Slammers he faced. Boyle has appeared in four of the Grizzlies' first six games this season; over 3 2/3 innings, he's struck out eight, walked two, and allowed neither a run nor a hit.
Dakota Smith worked a 1-2-3 eighth inning with a strikeout.
Boyle, Smith, and Grant Black — the Grizzlies' only three returning pitchers — combined to retire all nine Slammers they faced with five strikeouts after Barrett left the game following the sixth.
Gateway's road trip continues back in the St. Louis area Friday with a 6:35 p.m. CDT first pitch against the River City Rascals in O'Fallon, Mo.

Q: FancyBox e Ajax Boa tarde pessoal. Estou tendo problemas com o FancyBox aqui e queria ver se alguém já conseguiu fazer isso.
Eu tenho um script PHP que pega 3 variáveis POST (latitude, longitude e precisão) para gerar um mapa com o Google Maps. Eu preciso que esse script seja chamado via Ajax dentro de um fancybox ao clicarem em um link na página.
O link é:
<a href="#" class="geoBoxLink" id="geoBox" data-lat="<?php echo $row['lat']; ?>" data-lon="<?php echo $row['lon']; ?>" data-radius="<?php echo $row['precisao']; ?>">Ver GeoLocalização

lat e lon são óbvios e o data-radius é a precisão (raio).
Meu script está errado, mas eu quero uma função que seja meio assim:

O problema é que o fancybox não aceita eu passar o parametro desse jeito function(data, options).
Como eu poderia fazer para contornar esse problema?
Obrigado.
EDIT:
Conteúdo do maps.php:

So today is Black Friday. A term which means virtually nothing this side of the pond but has grown in usage and significance in the US over the past few years and is starting to be heard a little in the UK.
So Black Friday is all about shoppers, 'real' ones, out in hats and scarves walking the streets. But what about online shoppers or mobile shoppers? Well we had Mega Monday (Cyber Monday for our American cousins) earlier this week. It may have passed you by unnoticed but Monday was meant to be the day that online shoppers spending reached its annual peak, estimated to be £424m in a single day just in the UK.
The total UK online spend in 2011 is estimated at £13b, mobile shopping is already estimated to be 12% of this figure. So that means, with a quick bit of maths, that just over £50m was spent on mobile shopping in the UK last Monday.
Can you really afford for your company to not have a mobile retail strategy?

I used initComponent() method before setting setOnItemClickListener()
the force close error is gone and app opens normally,
But the next activity is not opening or nothing happens.when i click on the items.
:(
AS you said i tried different cases,Still no success
              public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v3,
                int position, long id) {

            //setContentView(R.layout.abc);
            switch (position) {
            case 0:
                Intent myIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),Abc.class);
                startActivity(myIntent);
                break;
            case 1:
                Intent myIntent1 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),Abc.class);
                startActivity(myIntent1);
                break;
            case 2:
                Intent myIntent2 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),Abc.class);
                startActivity(myIntent2);
                break;
            case 3:
                Intent myIntent3 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),Abc.class);
                startActivity(myIntent3);
                break;
            case 4:
                Intent myIntent4 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),Abc.class);
                startActivity(myIntent4);
                break;
            case 5:
                Intent myIntent5 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),Abc.class);
                startActivity(myIntent5);
                break;
            case 6:
                Intent myIntent6 = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),Abc.class);
                startActivity(myIntent6);
                break;

            default:
                break;
            }
          }

    });

A: You need to call your custom initComponent() method before setting setOnItemClickListener()
public class CActivity extends Activity
{
  GridView gridView;

   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
            {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.cactivity);
    initComponent();
             gridView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
            {
              public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v,
                int position, long id) {
                  switch (position) {
                case 0://do the same for your remaining items
                    Intent myIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Abc.class);
                    startActivity(myIntent);
                    break;

                default:
                    break;
                }
              }
            //finish();
        }
    });
}
       private void initComponent()
       {
         gridView = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.month_gridView);
         }

I agree, the ability to see Wyze cameras from a desktop computer or tv and watch multiple cameras at one time on a bigger screen would be great. In Windows and/or MacOS, maybe even a Roku app?
Sam_Bam, is there an early version of the Windows app available for use somewhere?

They have a web version in early beta. You have to be a Cam Plus subscriber for it to work and currently the battery operated cams are not supported. The link to try it out is view.wyze.com

I wish there was an app for Windows Store with surveillance mode when a user could just open a window with multiple cameras and watch in real-time instead of picking up the smartphone every time when notification comes.

Fan Points Out Incredible Costume Detail You Probably Missed In Lord Of The Rings

Fans have pointed out an incredible costume detail that you probably didn't spot in the first Lord of the Rings movie, joking that Sauron has a 'marketing department' churning out 'great design choices' from Mordor.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is a film many of us must have watched countless times since its release in 2001, having soon found ourselves able to quote pretty much every line.
But after all these years, some of you likely never noticed that the horses of Nazgul have an interesting design feature on their riding gear, which features a little nod to Sauron.
Sharing their find with Reddit, u/Martijngamer wrote: "The horses of the Nazgul in Lord of the Rings (2001) have the Eye of Sauron on their chest riding gear."
The post has received nearly 40,000 upvotes, along with hundreds of comments from others admitting they'd never realised.
"I've watched LOTR countless times and never noticed it, wow," one said.

Another commented: "Same! It is probably because I'm focused on the movement of the riders and horses heads."
A third joked: "I love the idea of Sauron having a marketing department. Great design choices from Mordor."
One admired the 'Sauron swag', while another quipped: "Maybe it's Mordor, maybe it's Maybelline."
Someone else added: "And thousands of years later the illuminati will steal the design and slap it on a pyramid. But we all know who originally wore The Eye."

Later this year, fans will be able to return to Middle Earth when the franchise's new TV series launches on Amazon.
The Rings of Power will 'take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien's pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness', with a synopsis saying:
"Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.
"From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone."
Showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay said they could imagine the title 'living on the spine of a book next to J.R.R. Tolkien's other classics'.
In a press release they explained: "The Rings of Power unites all the major stories of Middle-earth's Second Age: the forging of the rings, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, the epic tale of Númenor, and the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Until now, audiences have only seen on-screen the story of the One Ring – but before there was one, there were many… and we're excited to share the epic story of them all."
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power premieres on Amazon Prime on 2 September 2022.

3 Success Mantras From A Top NYC Real Estate Team
Real Trends // Aug 26, 2019
The Emily Beare Team at CORE in New York always strives to do better than it did the year before.
When the Emily Beare Team realized by March 2018 that it has already surpassed its total number of closings for the prior year, the four-person team could have easily just taken a breather for the remainder of the year. Instead, they plowed ahead and posted $225.59 million in sales volume for the year, giving them a place on 2019's The Thousand list of top real estate teams by transaction volume.
"We never rest on our laurels around here," says Emily Beare, a licensed broker with CORE in New York who follows these three success mantras:
1. Always be transparent and honest.
Gaining a client's trust is key. "I can only sell what I truly believe, and I think that people know that and they trust that," says Beare, who recently had someone call her about one of her $30 million+ listings. "I was very honest with her, and told her that I didn't think this particular property was going to be a good fit," Beare says. After shopping around with different agents, that buyer came back and began working with Beare. "She said she chose me because I was the first agent who was actually transparent and honest."
2. Get face to face.
No matter the scope of the deal, always stay in contact and make sure to follow up. "At times it's not always easy, but communication is really, really important," says Beare. She prefers face-to-face when possible, with the phone being secondary.
"After that, I would resort to email," says Beare, "knowing that it's easy for important information—and your overall 'tone'—to get lost in translation."
3. Don't just wait for stuff to happen.
"My team is very competitive within itself," says Beare, who prefers to take a proactive approach to business, versus just waiting around for something to happen. "We focus on what we're doing, we look at what we've done in the past, and we look ahead to what we want to accomplish in the future," says Beare, who right now is keeping a close eye on the New York City real estate market in its current state of flux.
The Emily Beare Team's reputation for getting things done precedes it in a cutthroat marketplace where multimillion-dollar deals are fairly commonplace. "Other agents say to me all the time, 'We're emulating you in the sense that we realize you have to be out there and do it, market like crazy, and put a lot of extra effort in,'" says Beare. "This is especially important in a market that's not that easy right now."

Appropriating technologies: Nets for fish or for mosquitoes?
The notion of "appropriate technologies" is familiar; it's similar to saying we should use the right tool for the job. In developing countries, this usually implies that we should find tools that fit with the local culture, knowledge base, environment, and existing technologies, for example, donkeys might work better than automobiles when the roads are in poor condition or non-existent.
Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are a simple, cost-effective way to fight malaria and are distributed to pregnant women and children in Kenya, often for free. But when Noboru Minakawa of the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Nagasaki, Japan, and colleagues surveyed villages along Lake Victoria, they found people were using the nets for fishing or drying fish, because the fish dry faster in the nets than on papyrus sheets, and the nets are cheaper (Malaria Journal, DOI: 10.1186/1475-2875-7-165).
In Zambia too, ITNs are being used for fishing, straining fruit and even for wedding dresses, says Todd Jennings of non-profit health group PATH in the capital Lusaka. "An ITN in the water is one not hanging in the fisherman's home protecting his children," he says.
It would be tragic if these uses of the nets mean that children are unprotected. Can we imagine a day come when people are not forced to choose between providing food and preventing disease?

At Sullivan Apartments, lives are changing for the good January 15, 2020
Three Kings Day at Robinson Gardens Apartments January 7, 2020
SHA December 2019 Tenant Newsletter January 2, 2020
SHA Administration
Meet Blanca Berrios, SHA's new Section 8 director
She began as a rent collections clerk 10 years ago, and has steadily worked her way up to one of Springfield Housing Authority's key positions – Blanca Berrios is the new director of the Rental Housing Assistance Program.
Berrios was promoted in May to fill the position left vacant by Joe D'Ascoli, who led the department for 12 years before taking a position as executive director at the Manchester, Conn. Housing Authority.
Prior to her new job running the department here, she was D'Ascoli's top assistant for the past seven years.
It was great training, by her own accounting.
"I loved working with Joe," she said. "He was an excellent teacher and mentor. He not only showed me how to do things, he taught me how to find things for myself. We're still in touch a lot."
As director of the program run out of Riverview Apartments, Berrios oversees a staff of 20 and manages a portfolio that includes 2,893 Housing Choice Vouchers, or rental assistance given to qualifying residents who live in privately owned apartments, also known as 'Section 8s.' As such, SHA's Rental Housing Assistance program is the third largest in the state and makes up more than half of the local agencies total housing portfolio.
Blanca Berrios, director of the SHA Rental Housing Assistance Program.
Berrios said she aims to continue earning the high performance scores from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development, and to expand programs that will lead residents to greater levels of self-sufficiency, such as the HUD Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership program, English as a second language and computer literacy and job search education.
"I'd love to see more programs where we can help people work towards self-sufficiency," Berrios said.
SHA Executive Director William H. Abrashkin said Berrios was promoted with good reason.
"Over many years as 'second in command' of the Rental Assistance Office, Blanca Berrios has demonstrated mastery of the complex field of assisted housing, strong management skills, and a priority on customer service," he said. "Her friendly demeanor and committed work ethic make her a great fit for this position, and we look forward to working with her as RAO Director."
Berrios has lived most of her life in the Springfield area, as a young child in the Brightwood section of the city, nearby to where she now works. She moved with her family to Southwick, and managed a travel agency before beginning her career at SHA. She lives in West Springfield.
Since she began working at SHA, Berrios has held several positions, including as a clerk in District B, and most recently, as assistant housing manager at Rental Assistance, where she believes she has found her professional home.
"I like the agency, because you can move up professionally," she said. "There is so much you can do within this agency. And you know you're always helping people."
Of the department, she added, "It's a tight-knit family here. We have several new people now, and I can see they're fitting right in to our group. It's a great place to work."
For now, her staff is split, with some at SHA's new offices at 60 Congress St. and others at 67 Sanderson St., on the northern side of the Riverview Apartments high-rise complex. But Berrios is looking forward to a day when the program can be united under one roof.
She also continues to learn the rules and regulations that drive HUD programs, an ongoing process as things continue to change in her field.
"This job has so much to it," she said. "You're dealing with tenants, landlords, government regulations. There's always something unexpected in your day."
Berrios is nearly complete with her bachelor's degree in human services at Springfield College.

Donnchad mac Gilla Pátraic (Donagh MacGillapatrick) (died 1039), was King of Osraige and King of Leinster.

Life & Reign
His father was Gilla Pátraic mac Donnchada. He took the throne of Osraige prior to 1027 and was active militarily.  He blinded his brother Tadc, thus eliminating him from succession. King Donnchad inflicted a slaughter on the Dál gCais and Eóganachta, led by Donnchad mac Briain in a predatory incursion into Osraige.  Brian's son launched a second expedition into Osraige again in 1031, in which he was again defeated by Mac Gilla Pátraic.  Mac Briain was successful in his third attack on Osraige in 1034.

He took the throne of Leinster in 1033 and held the Fair of Carman, a prerogative of the kings of Leinster.

In 1039, Donnchadh led a combined force of Ossorians and the Leinstermen, raiding and burning as far as Knowth and Drogheda.  The Annals of Tigernach eulogize him as "overking of Leinster and Ossory, champion of Ireland".

Legacy
A daughter of Gilla Pátraic was Aífe, mother of Diarmait mac Máel na mBó, King of Leinster (died 1072).  Aside from being the ancestor of later Fitzpatricks, he is considered the ancestor and namesake of the (O')Dunphys of Ossory, also called (O')Donoghoes.

When you talk to anyone about what type of vehicle security they have, the tendency is to automatically focus on their car, truck, RV and even boat. However, with the ever-increasing cost of motorcycles protecting it is something that should be taken into consideration. In a recent conversation with a Miami Lakes insurance agent at the SENA Group we discovered the motorcycles thieves are not only in the rise but quite common.
Weighing in at between 500 and 1000 pounds motorcycles are not what one would consider light! Nevertheless, the most common way motorcycles are stolen is by getting lifted into the bed of an awaiting pickup truck. The second most common way is getting rolled up a ramp to a truck or trailer. However, this last can be made substantially more difficult by locking the steering all the way to the right or left.
Despite the data, motorcycle alarms in Miami are not as common as you may think. Even though there are a substantial number of bikes in the South Florida area. Protecting you priced motorcycle is not expensive and the substantial discount your insurance carrier is willing to give you, year over year, more than pays for the upfront cost.
At Car-Alarm-Miami.Com we offer several cost effective solutions afforded to us by Directed Electronics (DEI), under the brands Clifford and Viper. Both of these systems offer shock and tilt options to safeguard against tampering. Another option we often recommend is backup power. Motorcycles, in particular, are very sensitive to getting the power disable by thieves. In many occasions the battery is readily available via one of the side panels and more often than not, no tools are requiring accessing it! A backup power siren or backup battery is always a sound investment! For more information on all the option, you have when it comes to buying a motorcycle alarm along with the benefits of the best tilt sensor in the world give us a call today! When it comes to getting the best motorcycle alarm to protect your investment we have you cover.

Gunmen invaded the Armenian parliament Wednesday and shot to death the prime minister and at least three other officials, plunging the small landlocked former Soviet republic into a political crisis.
The gunmen were still holding more than 50 hostages in the parliament early today. The assailants initially demanded to make a statement on television or radio; later reports said they were seeking a helicopter.
The takeover began about 5:15 p.m. Wednesday as the gunmen burst into the main chamber of the national parliament during a question-and-answer session conducted by members of the Cabinet. Dramatic scenes of gunmen in trench coats, armed with assault weapons and firing into the air, were shown on Armenian television.
Prime Minister Vazgen Sarkisyan, 40, the nation's No. 2 official behind President Robert Kocharyan, was seated in the front row when gunmen on the podium opened fire on him and other top officials, causing terrified deputies to dive under their desks.
"The first shots were fired directly at Vazgen Sarkisyan at a distance of 1 to 2 meters," Anna Israelyan, a journalist who had been at the scene, said later. "It was impossible that he would have survived."
Hundreds of soldiers and police immediately surrounded the parliament building, located near the U.S. Embassy in the Armenian capital, Yerevan. Ambulances and emergency vehicles sped to the scene.
Kocharyan was at a meeting in the nearby presidential building when the attack began and raced to the parliament to take charge of negotiations with the gunmen.
Among those confirmed dead were the parliamentary speaker, Karen S. Demirchyan, who was Armenia's Soviet-era leader; the deputy speaker, Yuri Bakhshyan; and the minister for operative issues, Leonard Petrosyan.
Some reports indicated that the four bodies were removed from the building Wednesday evening, while others said the bodies of Sarkisyan and Demirchyan remained in the chamber today as negotiations with the gunmen continued.
There also were conflicting reports about additional deaths. According to some witnesses, three other officials--Ruben Miroyan, a deputy speaker, Genrikh Abramyan, a member of parliament, and Mikhail Kotanyan, a senior economic advisor--also were killed.
The number of terrorists was variously put at between four and six.
In Washington, President Clinton issued a statement condemning the attack. "I condemn the senseless act against individuals actively engaged in building democracy in their country," he said. "My heart and prayers go out to the people of Armenia and the families of the very important officials who have been killed."
The shootings will create a political vacuum in Armenia as Kocharyan weighs a replacement for Sarkisyan, who had been a key political and military figure in the new nation throughout this decade.
Armenia, a mainly Christian country of 3.7 million people, gained independence after the December 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. Situated in the region of the oil-rich Caspian Sea, Armenia has remained relatively free of the political slayings that have plagued neighbors such as the former Soviet republic of Georgia.
Reports from Yerevan said that after the shooting began, dozens of deputies managed to crawl out of the assembly chamber and escape. Those that remained were taken hostage. The gunmen told a group of journalists that they were launching a coup and issued an appeal to Armenians to mob the building in support.
"They said a coup had finally happened, and they promised to take revenge on all those who had brought so much evil on the people of Armenia," said Lilit Bleyan, one of the journalists, in comments broadcast on Russian television.
But presidential Press Secretary Vage Gabrelyan said in an interview that there was no coup and that security forces had sealed off the building. "The president and other power bodies are in charge," he said.
"It came like a bolt out of the blue, totally unexpected," Gabrelyan said of the attack. "No one would have expected a tragedy like this to happen. It is just so absurd, tragic and ridiculous that it is beyond any understanding."
Gabrelyan described the gunmen as "a group of armed lunatics" who had claimed no association with any political organization.
A U.S. Embassy spokesman in Yerevan backed that view, saying Kocharyan remained in control and that it did not appear the gunmen were part of an organized political force.
One of the gunmen was identified by witnesses as Nairi Umanyan, a former journalist and extreme nationalist. Two of the other terrorists reportedly were related to him. Journalists present at the beginning of the attack said Umanyan accused officials of "drinking our blood."
Sarkisyan and Demirchyan were leaders of the Unity political bloc, which won the Armenian elections in June. Sarkisyan, a former defense minister, was named premier June 11.
Political analyst Alexander Iskandaryan, of the Center for Caucasian Studies in Moscow, said Sarkisyan loomed large in Armenian politics.
"He had the full support of the bulk of the country's political, military and economic elite," Iskandaryan said. "His absence in Armenia's political arena is likely to create a political vacuum that will be very difficult to fill."
Iskandaryan said the killings could cause political instability, tarnish Armenia's international reputation and increase the sway of hard-line political figures.
"What happened in Yerevan today was hardly a carefully calculated political act," he said. "Neither was it a coup. More likely than not it was an act of terror that was committed by a handful of embittered people with radical political views. . . ."
In a low-profile visit to the Armenian capital, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott met Kocharyan and Sarkisyan earlier Wednesday to discuss the embattled region of Nagorno-Karabakh but left for Ankara, Turkey, about an hour before the attack.
State Department spokesman James P. Rubin said Talbott earlier had conferred with Azerbaijani leaders in their capital, Baku, in an attempt to mediate the dispute between the two countries over Nagorno-Karabakh, an enclave surrounded by Azerbaijan but populated mainly by ethnic Armenians.
"We have no reason to think this is in any way related to Deputy Secretary Talbott's visit," Rubin said of the attack. He added that Talbott "had no indication of anything amiss before he left."
Rubin said Talbott's party described the meetings in both Yerevan and Baku as "very constructive."
It was unclear whether Wednesday's attack was related to the disputed enclave.
Nagorno-Karabakh tried to break away from Azerbaijan in the late 1980s, leading to a war that left tens of thousands dead before a Russian-mediated 1994 cease-fire that left the enclave's future unresolved.
In recent years, Azerbaijan has been increasing the pressure for territory to be returned to its control.
Sarkisyan and Demirchyan strongly opposed the return of territory. Sarkisyan was a veteran of the Nagorno-Karabakh war.

I just recently listened to an awesome interview with talented writer and marketer, Seth Godin. In the interview, he describes a time when he was teaching marketing at a university.
During his course, he gave the class a simple challenge: stand up in front of the class, make a call to a complete stranger, and sell them a copy of Time Magazine. There wasn't any requirement to actually sell anything to the person on the phone – all he wanted them to do was make the call and try their best.
A third of the class wouldn't even attempt it.
If you're one of the rare people who actually makes the call, you already braver than a third of your competition. If you're even remotely good at selling yourself, the advantage becomes even bigger.
And if you're lucky enough to believe in what you're doing and communicate that vision clearly and compellingly, you're in a tiny fraction of people in the music industry.
Go ahead and pick up the phone. You've already got an advantage.

There is one downtown its called Kelly's it's on ave 10 south. Most cabbies will know the place.
Any place offer free phone calls home?
Yeah be all means no matter what company shut it off while on the ship. I turned mine on after we docked in mx and it switched from ship to land a based carrier.
CCL Cozumel Highlights & Shopping Tour - Lighthouse??
Nope, the light house is on the southern tip of the island.
If you could post a link, it sounds like playa mia, but not sure. BTW its cold up here!!!
[quote name='Redhead51']Was it the Wyndham or was it Aura? Aura is adults only and costs $75.00 pp.[/quote] Based on the date he mentioned it was the old section of wyndham, the Aura section didn't open until spring of 08. The difference in the two is of course one is new, has a huge pool, and is adult only. Its the same resort, just a different section.
I don't know of any "free phones" I would call your cell carrier and ask if they offer international roaming, i know ATT does and it cost like 50-60 cents per minute to call home, which was not bad I guess.
You did not mention your sons age, but it should give you both things that you can do. I think the cooking class needs to be pre booked, but not 100% sure on that.
HELP! Nachi Cocum sold out!
I think she is all set, you cant contact them directlt as no one will reply to that email. Cruise lines don't sell Nachi, and you can't just show up with out a reservation.
Beach + Boat to Reef for Snorkel?
You can take a taxi out to palancar beach, they have a snorkel tour, food and drinks. Bruce R another CC member speaks highly of it.
shore excursions Cozumel thru Royal Caribbean or Independent?
You more ofter expirience smaller groups, get individual service, and save money. Cozumel is one place I would not hesitate to book on my own unless I was going to do a mainland tour.
I agree I think it would have been posted here, if something like that did happen. There are ports I would stay on the ship, Cozumel is not one of them. I asked my wife if she felt safe in Cozumel, and her reply was yes more so than the Bahamas.
Actually what you are seeing is the cruise lines demanding places to 1) not sell to the public, or 2) do not sell for less. Uvas host a few different tours, and probably felt pushed into a corner.
I think you should read what eles that company offers, she made your day right and paid you to go elsewhere. You have no clue about what you are saying.
Were is this article that you speak of, and when did it happen? I know there are parts of jacksonville I will not get out of my vehicle, The media is saying parts of mexico that are not even close to cozumel. Yes as with any place you should be aware of what is around you, but I never once thought twice walking around town, getting in a cab or anything.

You'll never forget the day you marry your best friend. After all, there is nothing more beautiful than making a commitment to spend the rest of your life with the person most true to your heart. This is exactly how one couple named Tyson and Hayley feel about their wedding day. Yet, they actually take the idea one step further - and will never forget the moment Tyson saw his bride in her wedding dress for the first time. Fortunately for us, they shared this special moment with the rest of the world.
As their special day was approaching, the couple had talked about all of the details of their wedding (including Hayley's wedding dress). However, keeping traditions alive - they decided to wait until the event for Tyson to actually see it. Instead of waiting until the actual ceremony to see his lovely bride, Tyson and Hayley opted to do a "first look." This is a new trend in which the groom gets to meet with his wife moments before walking down the aisle! The reactions a "first look" produces are as powerful as they are moving - and this couple's interaction is no different!
In the video below, we watch as the two finally arrive at the place where they will make their vows. Tyson stands upon a tall flight of stairs waiting for his bride. Then, she finally reaches him - and he turns around. Within an instant, you can see the meaning of the moment hitting Tyson as he struggles to hold back tears! Hayley is a gorgeous bride and Tyson realizes how lucky he is to have her by his side! This is a memorable clip that everyone should see. You can tell by the look in their eyes that they are soulmates! Oh, to be young and in love!

The African Union AMISOM force fighting in Somalia said on Thursday its troops repelled an attack on one of its bases by the al Shabaab Islamist group and killed 110 militants. "AMISOM forces killed 110 al Shabaab and captured a large cache of weapons,"
AMISOM spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Joe Kibet told Reuters by telephone, adding that a claim by al Shabaab that it had killed 60 AU soldiers was a "falsehood".
Al Shabaab initially said it had killed 43 AU soldiers, but its military operations spokesman later said its fighters had killed 60, while 16 of its own fighters died in the attack on the base in Halgan town, north of Mogadishu, foreign media reports.

A small group of humans has survived the apocalyptic epidemic called Black Ep that ravaged the world. These survivors start to wake others who'd been cryogenically preserved to await a future when the disease might be cured. At first, everyone agrees on the basic principles of this new world - how lucky they are to have survived, how they're all in this together, how they should look out for each other, learn from the past and build a better world... But inevitably, as more sleepers are roused, there are some who disagree. People who have knowledge of power are waking up to a new world, and they do not intend to wait politely in line. But as this new utopian starts to fracture, one more surprise lies in wait for the survivors. It comes from a very very long way away indeed - and its impact is such that it will transform the future for everyone in this post-plague, perhaps even post-human, world...

Q: Typescript - can't access properties in child class via Object.keys() I am trying to use the same logic declared in constructor of base class for all child classes.
In more details, I want to iterate over all class attributes from it's constructor.
My expectation was that if I invoke Object.keys() in base constructor and call super() in child's constructor - it will work for me.
Code example:
class BaseClass {
    private baseField1: string;
    private baseField2: string;

    constructor(data: any) {
        console.log(this.constructor.name + " has fields: " + Object.keys(this));
    }
}

class ChildClass extends BaseClass {
    private childField1: string;

    constructor(data: any) {
        super(data);
    }
}

let base = new ChildClass({name: 'Joe'});

I expect to have output:
ChildClass has fields: baseField1,baseField2,childField1
But in fact I have:
ChildClass has fields: baseField1,baseField2
There is no childField1 in output
Any idea on how this is better to sort out?
UPD:
Finally I made it work as I expect. Thanks to Touffy!
class BaseClass {
    private baseField1: string;
    private baseField2: string;

    constructor(data: any) {
        Object.assign(this, data);
    }
}

class ChildClass extends BaseClass {
    private childField1: string;

    constructor(data: any) {
        super(data);
        if (data.childField1) this.childField1 = data.childField1;
    }
}

let base = new ChildClass({
    baseField1: 'bf1',
    baseFileds2: 'bf2',
    childField1: 'Joe'
});

console.log('Class fields: ' + JSON.stringify(base));

Output is: Class fields: {"baseField1":"bf1","baseFileds2":"bf2","childField1":"Joe"}

A: The issue is not with Object.keys, but the timing of when it is called in the constructor chain. You wrote the call of Object.keys in the parent constructor, which is called by super in the child constructor before any child properties are initialized.
You need to remember that those nice property declarations are merely syntactic sugar, equivalent to this.propertyName = undefined in the constructor. Those lines are evaluated after the call to super (the parent constructor). In other words, what the JavaScript interpreter will really do is this :
class BaseClass {
    constructor(data) {
        this.baseField1 = undefined;
        this.baseField2 = undefined
        console.log(this.constructor.name + " has fields: " + Object.keys(this));
    }
}

class ChildClass extends BaseClass {
    constructor(data) {
        BaseClass.call(this, data);
        this.childField1 = undefined // too late !
    }
}

If you call Object.keys in the child constructor after super(), or anywhere that's not in a constructor, it will work as expected.
However, if your goal is specifically to log all the properties of a child instance immediately when it is constructed, and have this behaviour inherited from the parent class… I don't think you can, even with Proxies.

A: constructor(data: any) -- this is not OOP, this is bad JavaScript habits under disguise.
Be as specific as possible with the interface of your class. Let it ask exactly what values it needs in the constructor, not just some opaque object.
class BaseClass {
  public constructor(
    private baseField1: string,
    private baseField2: string,
  ) {
    // Object.keys(this) is not a good idea if the class has methods
    console.log(this.constructor.name + " has fields: " + Object.keys(this));
  }
}

class ChildClass extends BaseClass {
  public constructor(
    baseField1: string,
    baseField2: string,
    private childField1: string;
  ){
    super(baseField1, baseField2);
  }
}

// The compiler does not allow you to pass only one argument to the constructor
// It ensures the object integrity
let base = new ChildClass('Joe');


The Embu tribe, also known as Aembu, are a Bantu tribe closely related to the Kikuyu and Meru.
Aembu inhabit Kenya's Embu district, a fertile agricultural region located at the foothills of Mount Kenya. They speak the Embu language.
Like most other Kenyan Bantus, the Embu are believed to have come from Central Africa during the Bantu migration. Embu oral traditions, however, give somewhat conflicting versions of their historical origin. One of the most widely accepted versions traces the origin of the Embu tribe to regions around the Nyambene hills, north of Mount Kenya.
The story says that Mwene-Ndega, the first Embu ancestor, lived with his wife Nthara in a grove near the present day town of Runyenjes. From here, Mwene-Ndega's descendants spread out and occupied other parts of what has since become the Embu district.
The Mbeere people are a Kenyan tribe very similar to the Embu. Mbeere and Embu oral histories indicate that the two tribes were originally one Embu tribe. The Mbeere split from the Embu after an inter-clan war that the Embu clan won. After the victory, the Embu pushed the Mbeere to the drier and less fertile Kiangombe hills south of the Embu region.
Despite this split, the two tribes co-existed peacefully. The Embu tribe often assisted the smaller Mbeere tribe in times of drought or when other tribes, such as the Akamba or Maasai, attacked them.
Embu and Mbeere tribes share many common customs and rituals. Traditionally they had jointly owned sacred places called Matiiri. As with most other Bantu tribes, circumcision is an important rite of passage for Embu and Mbeere boys.
Among the Embu, the clan or extended family had less influence on family life than in other Bantu tribes. When an Embu man married, he would build his own home away from his father's home and would manage his family almost independently.
Embu people are an agricultural tribe, growing maize, millet, sorghum, beans, cassava, and yams among other crops as subsistence food. They also rear domestic livestock in addition to growing cash crops such as Macadamia nuts, coffee and tea. Since the Mbeere's land is drier and less fertile, they can only rear small herds of domestic livestock. The Mbeere, therefore, often depend on their Embu cousins for food supplies, especially in times of drought.
Like the Kikuyu, the Aembu believed that their god, Ngai, lived on the top of Mount Kenya. Prayers and sacrifices were traditionally made to this god. Today, most Embus are Christians.

Q: SWIG interface file for c++ header files I have c++ a.h file like this
class myClass
{
private:
  int a;
public:
  myClass(){}
  void foo(){}
};

How must look like SWIG interface file?
Is this true?
%module a
%{
#include "a.h"
%}

A: No, %{ ... %} adds the included code directly to the generated SWIG wrapper.  To process the header for interfaces to expose, %include needs to be used.
%module a
%{                // This adds the include to the generated wrapper.
#include "a.h"
%}
%include "a.h"    // This *processes* the include and makes wrappers.

If you have direct code not in a header needs to be added to the wrapper AND processed for interfaces, then %inline can be used to avoid duplication:
%module a
%inline %{
class myClass
{
private:
  int a;
public:
  myClass(){}
  void foo(){}
};
%}

The colour team at r-pac Bangladesh had reason to celebrate recently, when they learned they had achieved a 100% print score in their ImpressionProof print audit.
r-pac Bangladesh's major client, retail giant Marks & Spencer, are known for their strict quality control, which even extends to the colour quality management of their packaging. They will only outsource their printing to companies able to meet tight ISO 12647 standards.
Mellow Colour's ISO 12647 colour quality management system is the favoured choice for leading printers around the globe, so r-pac Bangladesh were keen to join the Mellow Colour family three years ago.
r-pac Bangladesh's Managing Director Imtiaz Kamiss was thrilled that his team was able to join the coveted Mellow Colour 100 Club so soon.
Mellow Colour's technical partner Satish Nayak has spent time with the r-pac print team over the past three years, training them and carrying out their regular colour quality audits.
And how have r-pac Bangladesh benefitted from our colour quality management system?
"The best part of the Mellow Colour approach has been process control," said Kamiss. "Being in the Mellow Colour 100 Club has allowed us execution of jobs within minimum turnaround time, while also managing costs better.
"We have managed to make a lot of headway in increasing business with existing customers as well as attracting new customers, thanks to our world-class standards of colour quality management.
The r-pac Bangladesh team are right to be proud of their achievements in colour quality management in such a short time. Well done to them!
