The Huawei ban explained: A complete timeline 2/2
Huawei in 2020: A very different environment
Throughout 2019 Huawei probably hoped that the US government would either weaken the ban or remove it entirely. However, by the time 2020 came around, there were no indications that the Huawei ban was going to let up any time soon.
This put the company's standing in the smartphone market in serious doubt. If you'll remember, Huawei originally boasted in 2016 that it would be the world's number one smartphone manufacturer by the end of 2020. In early 2019, it was nearly a certainty that it would achieve that goal a full year ahead of schedule. Now, with the Huawei ban, the company's long-running string of success was poised to come to a screeching halt.
Although the Mate 30 series had sold well in Huawei's native China and made comfortable sales throughout the rest of the world, it was no runaway success. Consumers outside of China simply aren't ready for a premium smartphone that can't access the Google Play Store or even popular third-party apps such as Uber.
Huawei's answer to this was App Gallery — its proprietary Android apps store. Like the Play Store, App Gallery hosts a bunch of Android apps you can install on your phone. Huawei is spending millions on enticing developers to port their apps to App Gallery with varying degrees of success. While App Gallery has certainly come a long way in a short period of time, it's by no means at all a solid replacement for the Play Store.
Huawei P40 and Mate 40 series: Still no Google
On March 26, 2020, Huawei unveiled the Huawei P40, P40 Pro, and P40 Pro Plus. The three phones feature all the flagship hardware one would expect from a P series device, including an absolutely incredible rear camera system.
On October 22, 2020, Huawei unveiled the Mate 40, Mate 40 Pro, and Mate 40 Pro Plus. These phones also were marvels when it comes to hardware and design.
Of course, none of the phones had Google apps. All the hardware in the world can't make up for that.
As with the Mate 30 series, the P40 and Mate 40 series received great reviews. Once again, though, most publications — including Android Authority — advised against buying the phones due to the lack of Google services.
Somehow, Huawei continues being successful
Now, you would think that with things being as they are that Huawei would be struggling to stay afloat. However, not only is Huawei doing okay, but it's actually doing really well. In fact, just recently it finally made good on its promise and passed Samsung as the number one smartphone manufacturer as assessed by units shipped.
How is this possible? As mentioned before, you should never underestimate the power of 1.4 billion Chinese citizens all backing up their beloved homegrown brand. Also, don't forget that Huawei doesn't just make smartphones. It also still supplies networking systems to multiple countries all around the world.
The question is, though, whether or not Huawei can sustain this forever. It might be able to depend on China exclusively for sustainability — and even growth — for now. But it's eventually going to need to rekindle its success internationally, too.
Plus, the Huawei ban has far-reaching effects with which the company still needs to contend.
Huawei ban brings the end of Kirin chipsets
Unlike a lot of smartphone manufacturers, Huawei almost exclusively uses its own chipsets in its smartphones and tablets. Its line of Kirin processors are designed by Huawei and then produced by a company called TSMC.
At first, TSMC assured Huawei — and the tech industry in general — that it would continue to produce Huawei's Kirin chipsets. However, it recently rolled back on that declaration, likely because the Huawei ban is now in full effect (i.e. all the extensions are over).
Without TSMC, Huawei is essentially unable to create Kirin chipsets. At first, it was assumed the Mate 40 would be the final phone launched with a Kirin chipset. However, rumors abound that the 2021 Huawei P50 could have the same Kirin processor as the Mate 40.
There aren't many other companies out there that can create processors for Huawei that don't involve US-based companies or equipment. The only real option is a Chinese firm called MediaTek. As such, it's very likely we'll see Huawei flagships with MediaTek chips in the future, even if it doesn't end up happening for the P50 series.
Huawei sells off Honor sub-brand
Although Huawei's sub-brand Honor operated semi-independently, it was still officially part of the Huawei family. This meant that the effects of the Huawei ban carried over to it. In November 2020, Huawei sold off Honor to a Chinese company called Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology Co.
In an official statement on the matter, Huawei attributed the quick sale to the "tremendous pressure" it's under from the US government.
With the completion of this sale, Honor will have no direct connection to Huawei. This will free it up to act as its own brand without any of the limitations related to the US sanctions.
Honor is a very successful global smartphone brand that moves around 70 million units annually. This separation will allow that brand to continue to grow and thrive. However, it is unclear how Honor will move forward without the assistance offered by Huawei. For example, Honor phones run on Huawei's EMUI Android skin — will it adopt its own skin? Where will it get its processors now that Huawei can't supply them? There are a lot of questions.
2020, 2021, and beyond: Can Huawei survive?
Huawei has had a rocky time since May 15, 2019, to put it mildly. So far, it's weathered the storm incredibly well. However, how long can it keep the ship afloat with so much stacked against it?
Huawei knows that no matter what the Huawei-US ban can't touch its Chinese business. Huawei is so beloved in China that the company could become a China-only brand and survive handily for decades. Huawei isn't the kind of company that would roll over that easily, though.
As far as we can tell, Huawei plans to move forward with its usual plans of releasing two major flagship phones each year as well as other smaller launches whenever it's appropriate. It can't use Google apps, but it can still use Android. It can't use the Play Store, but the App Gallery is getting stronger. It can't make its own processors, but there are other companies from which it can buy chips. In the background, it has an operating system that could break it away from ever needing to depend on a US company again.
The question then becomes whether or not the company can do all this quickly enough to prevent it from losing market share. Also, can it prevent its brand from being tarnished too much by this debacle to win over consumers who simply can't imagine a phone without Gmail? Time will tell. But Huawei shouldn't be written off easily — it's already proven it can survive things that many other companies couldn't.
Do you currently own a Huawei phone?
If you currently own a Huawei or Honor phone, you might have some questions about how the Huawei ban affects you. Below are some frequently asked questions.
Q: Is Huawei spying on me through my phone?
A: Huawei is almost certainly tracking how you use your device, but every smartphone company does this. Smartphone OEMs want to know how often you unlock your phone, how often you charge it, how often you open certain apps, etc., so it can use that info to make better products. However, if you are scared that Huawei is actively monitoring you specifically for nefarious purposes, there has never been any evidence to support this claim.
Q: Is it illegal to own a Huawei device outside of China?
A: It's not illegal to own a Huawei device anywhere in the world. The Huawei ban prevents Huawei from working with US-based companies in the creation of its products. It doesn't apply to consumers who currently own a Huawei product and doesn't prevent them from buying new ones, either.
Q: Can I legally sell my Huawei device?
A: As long as there are no laws in your location preventing you from selling used phones, you're free to sell your Huawei device. Trump's executive order says nothing about reselling used Huawei products.
Q: Will my phone eventually stop working altogether?
A: You don't need to worry about this. Although your phone obviously won't last forever, Huawei will not "brick" your device. You can continue using it for as long as it's physically capable.
Q: Will my phone continue to receive Android upgrades and security patches?
A: This is a tricky question. If you own a Google-less Huawei device, you'll continue to see Android upgrades and security patches as usual. In fact, Huawei has a roadmap for the rollout of EMUI 11 (based on Android 10). However, if you own a Huawei phone with Google services onboard, the Huawei ban prevents the company from issuing Google-sanctioned updates going forward. Huawei has iterated its commitment to delivering patches and upgrades moving forward in spite of this, but there are no long-term guarantees.
Q: Can I transfer my apps and data from a Huawei phone to another brand?
A: Yes. Many companies offer apps and services that do this for you, including Samsung and OnePlus, for example. Keep in mind that some forms of data and some apps won't be available across different devices, but almost all of your data will transfer successfully.
Q: I don't want to use my Huawei phone anymore and I don't want to sell it. What should I do?
A: Please recycle your smartphone using the proper methods. This is a great resource for ethically disposing of your used electronics.
Should you avoid buying Huawei phones or other products?
Huawei has already released multiple high-profile smartphones since the Huawei-US ban took effect. We fully expect there to be more phones on the way, too. As such, you might be tempted to buy a Huawei phone even though the ban will prevent it from being a "normal" experience.
Here are the answers to some questions you might have about buying a new Huawei device.
Q: Is it even legal to buy a new Huawei phone?
A: Yes, it is perfectly legal to buy new Huawei products of all kinds. The Huawei ban only prevents Huawei from working with US-based companies. This might affect the hows and wheres of buying a Huawei phone, but it has no effect on your purchase or ownership of the device.
Q: Can I still receive texts, make phone calls, take photos, and browse the web on new Huawei phones?
A: Yes, you can do all those things and more. The only difference will be the apps you use to perform those functions will probably be different than the ones you currently use. For example, Google Chrome will not be available on new Huawei phones, so you'll need to use a different app for browsing the web. Huawei's app store (called App Gallery) will have many of the apps you need.
Q: Why can't I just sideload Google apps?
A: You can sideload Android apps onto Huawei phones and a lot of them will work correctly. However, many prominent apps use something called Google Play Services to function. This Google product won't be on new Huawei phones. There are several methods that have been used to successfully sideload Google Play Services on Huawei phones, but these are extremely unofficial, could potentially damage your phone, have no guarantee of working long-term, and potentially leave your device open to security risks. We do not recommend using this as a viable solution.
Q: Does Huawei's App Gallery have (insert your favorite app here)?
A: Huawei is spending millions of dollars on convincing app developers to port their products to App Gallery. As such, there are a lot of Android apps already available through App Gallery and more are added every day. You can install App Gallery on your current Android phone and search for the apps you depend on the most, which should help you decide if it can fully replace the Play Store.
Q: Will my Bluetooth headphones, gaming controller, or other accessories work with a Huawei phone?
A: Yes, in almost all cases. Huawei devices still run on Android and Bluetooth is a cross-platform service, so everything should function as you would expect. Obviously, there's no way to say every single device will work perfectly, but most everything should work.

Why saying "Make good choices" is not Choice Theory/Choice Giving.
The Schools Systems across the US are learning the "Making Good Choices" phrase, and spreading it along to parents. This video explains why the Schools' version of "Choices" is not effective, and how the Play Therapy topic of "Choice Theory" is very effective.

So I like chocolate, a lot. Like a lot! Not sure what it is but I love it. Yesterday, I went to Harrods with Dawn and JJ after she had done the QVC show. And of course the chocolate hall of Harrods is brilliant, it has all the pertinent chocolatiers: Prestat -uk manufacturer of my favorite choc bar, Choxi-, La maison du Chocolat -good french one- and my favourite Belgiam one outside of Belgium, Neuhaus. And yes, I did get an small box which I am savouring right now!
Tomorrow I have a full day of workshops at The Glitter Pot doing die cutting and embossing, Fun!
Will post one or two photos after the class.
My Mouth is watering from all that chocolate talk! I just heard about The Make Lounge and I'm curious to see if anyone has ever been there. Do you by chance know anything about it?


I use to think that organized, tour guided tours were boring, with mono-voiced tour guides taking you through every statue of a famous general in a city and filled with American seniors. The pumpkin-spice late's of travel.
There are tours like this but, there are also fun, not boring ones and when your travelling solo, a walking tour can be the best way to do a super touristy thing on your own and meet people. Bogotá had a number of great free or affordable tours – everything from food tours to craft beer tours. I did three tours in Bogotá – the Bogotá Graffiti Tour, Hero's Anti-Cliché Walking Tour and the Bogotá Craft Beer Tour.
Recommendation: If you only have time to do one walking tour in Bogotá, do this one.
The Bogotá Graffiti Tour is probably the most well-known tour of Bogotá. It takes you through the streets of Candelaria, which houses the majority of the cities graffiti, where you learn the meaning of the neighbourhoods graffiti art and its relationship with the community. The graffiti artists in Bogotá use graffiti to beautify Bogotá to give the community a sense of hope and as a form of commentary on the political issues of Colombia.
The tour is about 2 hours long and offered twice a day at 10 am and at 2pm. I booked the 10 am Bogotá Graffiti Tour for my first day in Bogotá as I was a bit nervous about exploring on my own after having read about the "dangers" of Bogotá for solo travellers and figured a tour would be the best way to get to know the city. Our tour guide was an artist herself and that added an interesting perspective to the tour as she told us about the point of view of the artists themselves. Why they believed graffiti art was important to the city, the cultural norms of the different graffiti Artist collectives, their struggles with local politicians who are on a campaign to "preserve" the historical parts of Bogotá and the struggles of female artists in a patriarchal culture. It was all extremely fascinating, the art was beautiful and I got to see parts of the city I would not have ventured into myself.
Recommendation: If you are looking something that doesn't resemble your grandma's tour of the Vatican, you like to explore the history of the places you travel and want a unique experience than this is the tour you want to take.
By far my favourite tour in Bogotá was the Hero's Anti-Cliché tour. It was not your standard walking tour as it focused on telling the history of the last 80 years of Bogotá and didn't shy away from the controversial topics of Colombia's history such as the FARC Conflict, Pablo Escobar and the current challenges. I loved it! I had read a bit about Colombia before my trip and the history of Colombia is truly fascinating. Our guide, Orlando was very knowledgable and didn't hesitate to answer any of our questions or to discuss a topic in greater detail. The Anti-Cliché tour was also different in that you got food with the tour! We had a snack at a typical Bogotán cafe and lunch at A Seis Manos a hip restaurant in the center.
My plan for Bogotá was to book myself a few tours through out my week's stay there to break up my solo wanderings and to give myself an opportunity to meet people. On this tour I meet my two Bogotá travel friends, Nick and Ale, and the three of us ended up spending the rest of our time in Bogotá together. We were surprised by how well we bonded and got on together, and by our third day it was as if we had known each other for much longer.
Recommendation: If you like beer and have a companion than this is a great way to spend an afternoon in Bogotá.
The Bogotá Craft Beer Tour is a paid tour but, the fee includes the beer you sample, food and the van which chauffeured us around to each location. I loved the discovery of Teusaquillo, a upper-class artsy neighbourhood which I hadn't even know existed but, was the type of place I would normally want to explore. Simon, our tour guide and one of the creators of the tour was a great guide who worked to foster an friendly, social atmosphere and shared his experience of Bogotá.
I really enjoyed this tour but, it wasn't my favourite because I realized that there is a certain type of traveler that attends such tours. I was the only solo person the tour with two groups – a group of clique Canadian girls looking to party and a lovely Taiwanese group who were more than open to chatting with others. I'd recommend this tour if you have a travel companion to chat with as you sit at bars sipping beers if your group mates aren't of the socializing variety.
Up next, why you should spend a few hours in Monserrate.

Alum Prepares For Missionary Work
by Courtney Hoffer | Feb 22, 2019 | Alumni Happenings, Parent Newsletter, Recent News | 0 comments
Olivia Staverman, Class of 2018, is preparing for her upcoming year as a missionary with NET Ministries. She recently spoke at masses at her home parish, St. Henry, about the work she will be doing and to raise money to help her on her journey.
NET Ministries (National Evangelization Team) shares the Gospel with youth from 6th-12th grades around the country through retreats, parish, and school ministry. NET is headquartered in West St. Paul, Minnesota, and is one of the largest and most successful Catholic youth ministry program in the United States.
Olivia is currently a freshman at Thomas More University majoring in theology and philosophy. In August 2019, she will join 175 other missionaries for five weeks of training in West. St. Paul taking only one suitcase and one backpack. After her training, she will be assigned to a parish and school somewhere in the United States for nine months.
The funds she raises through the parish and other donors will go toward the $6,000-$7,000 each missionary must raise to help support their trip. To learn more about NET Ministries, visit netusa.org. To support Olivia directly, please be sure to put Olivia Staverman in the team member box. Should you choose to support Olivia, thank you for your generosity.
Best of luck, Olivia. You will be in our prayers.

The Light from the TV Shows: Pilot Season Ahoy!
Posted by Will Harris (03/14/2012 @ 11:07 pm)
It's a sure sign that spring is on the verge of emerging when the networks start to let slip the names, premises, and attached actors for all of the pilots under consideration for the next TV season. Most of these pilots go nowhere, which is the way the cookie has always crumbled, but a few lucky programs end up getting the go-ahead for a series commitment. I don't claim to have any real idea how the networks think – as a critic, it's pretty much a given that I never know what the networks are thinking (and, in turn, they don't care what I'm thinking) – but that doesn't mean I'm afraid to give my thoughts on 15 of the pilots that I'd like to see come to fruition and join the fall schedules of their respective networks. You can check out a much fuller list from The Hollywood Reporter by clicking here, but in the meantime, here's the stuff that I'm hoping to be TiVo'ing in a few months' time….
1. Gilded Lilys (ABC)
It's been quite awhile since a broadcast network has managed to sell viewers on a period piece set prior to the 20th century, so the fact that ABC is even considering this series, which takes place in 1895 and revolves around the first luxury hotel in New York, is proof of how much pull executive producer Shonda Rhimes has with the American Broadcasting Company. In truth, the big selling point for me is John Barrowman. This doesn't exactly bode well for another season of "Torchwood," but the dude deserves a big U.S. break. You never know: this could be it.
2. Untitled Louis C.K. / Spike Feresten Comedy (CBS)
Go on, admit it: you were sold the moment you saw the name "Louis C.K.," weren't you? And Spike Feresten isn't bad, either. Seeing these two guys attached to this project is the only reason why it stands out, since the only real description available is that it's an an ensemble comedy about a bunch of twentysomethings trying to make their dreams come true despite today's crappy financial climate. But, damn, after two seasons of "Louie," the idea of Louis C.K. putting his spin on anything makes it something that'll surely be worth seeing. With that said, however, I hope Dan Byrd ends up not being available to do the show, as that will mean that "Cougar Town" has been renewed.
3. Animal Kingdom (NBC)
Two words: Tyler Labine. I mean, come on, America, what more does this loveable teddy bear of a comedy actor have to do to get a show to stay on the air for more than a season or two? NBC is, if memory serves, the last of the broadcast networks that has yet to cancel a series out from under Mr. Labine – "Invasion" was on ABC, "Reaper" was on The CW, "Sons of Tucson" was on Fox, and "Mad Love" was on CBS – and, frankly, this could be his last stop before the autograph-show circuit. Doesn't Tyler Labine deserve a better fate than that? You're damned right he does.
4. Untitled Kevin Williamson serial killer drama (Fox)
The man behind "The Vampire Diaries" brings Kevin Bacon to the small screen to play Ryan Hardy, a former FBI agent on the hunt for serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy), who's busy building himself a whole cult full of serial killers. If that isn't enough to sell you, the cast also features Natalie Zea ("Justified").
5. Joey Dakota (The CW)
Okay, I don't know what to make of this show, which is apparently an American adaptation of an Israeli series called "Danny Hollywood," but they had me at the phrase "romantic time-travel musical," and they kept me when they revealed that it was about a documentary filmmaker who somehow time-travels to the '90s, falls in love with the rock star she's been making a film about, and, upon being thrust back to the present, struggles to find a way to get back to the past and save the rock star's life. The only person I know in the cast is Amber Stevens ("Greek"), but it's produced by Mark Harmon, whose nephews have more than a bit of passing familiarity with the '90s rock scene. (They're Gunnar and Matthew Nelson, you know). Also, the pilot is directed by Allan Arkush, who always managed to make "Heroes" look good no matter how crappy the material may have been.
6. Elementary (CBS)
I'm the first to admit that the world desperately does not need another incarnation of Sherlock Holmes, especially given that we've already got a movie franchise and a perfectly good British TV series inspired by the Holmes mythos. But what can I say? Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu as Holmes and Watson is just ridiculous enough for me to watch to tune in. Not necessarily because I think it'll be any good, you understand, but the curiosity factor alone is off the charts. Plus, Aidan Quinn is in it, and he usually does good work.
7. Untitled Roland Emmerich Drama (ABC)
Anything with Roland Emmerich's name on it has got my attention immediately, particularly when it involves a grad student being selected to fight the forces of evil. But knowing that Martin Landau and Linus Roache are in the mix…? Sold. And then some.
8. American Judy (ABC)
Judy Greer isn't quite the female equivalent of Tyler Labine (although she certainly didn't help her cause any by co-starring with him on "Mad Love"), but suffice it to say that she's at least as deserving of a successful series. This one might have a terrible title, but it co-stars the always funny Ken Marino, along with Mimi Kennedy and the ever-hot Elaine Hendrix. With that talent, does it even matter what it's about? Well, just in case it does, Greer plays a city girl who gets married, moves to the suburbs with her new husband (who's the sheriff), and learns to deal with her stepkids, mother-in-law, and her husband's ex-wife.
9. Untitled Ralph Lamb (CBS)
Another period piece, but this one only steps back to the 1960s. Based on the true story of Ralph Lamb, a former rodeo cowboy who became the sheriff of Las Vegas, it comes courtesy of Nicholas Pileggi ("Goodfellas," "Casino"), and the cast features Dennis Quaid, Michael Chiklis, and Carrie-Anne Moss. I hope to hell it's good, because if it isn't, that's a lot of talent gone to waste.
10. Downwardly Mobile (NBC)
Unless it turns out to be really, really, really unfunny, I cannot conceive of a way that NBC won't pick up a sitcom that reunites Roseanne Barr and John Goodman, especially when Roseanne is playing the owner of a mobile home park.
11. Like Father (Fox)
I've got Bill Lawrence's back on just about anything that comes down the pike with his name on it, and that includes "Like Father," which stars Colin Ferguson and is inspired by the relationship between Lawrence and his own father. Here's hoping he's buried in work and has to deal with this show being picked up and "Cougar Town" getting renewed. (A guy can dream, can't he?)
12. Devious Maids (ABC)
I know better than to approach this as anything other than the eventual guilty pleasure that it will prove to be, but putting Marc Cherry ("Desperate Housewives") at the helm of a show about four maids in Beverly Hills who work for the famous while trying to make their own dreams come true…? That just seems like a match made in heaven. Throw in Susan Lucci, and just step back and watch the fireworks.
13. Susan 313 (NBC)
It stars Sarah Silverman, features Jeff Goldblum playing her dad, and is executive produced by Ron Howard and Brian Glazer. You just know it's going to end up being too hip for the room, but how can I not be excited about the prospect of seeing such a thing?
14. Last Resort (ABC)
Okay, this just sounds way too crazy for me to not want to see it come to fruition: per The Hollywood Reporter, the show centers on the crew of a U.S. nuclear submarine who, after ignoring an order to fire nuclear missiles, wind up being hunted and escape to a NATO outpost where they declare themselves to be the world's smallest nuclear nation. It stars Scott Speedman and Andre Braugher and, in recurring roles, Bruce Davison and Robert Patrick. There's no way it'll get the green light. It just sounds way too interesting.
15. The Frontier (NBC)
Might as well bookend things with another period piece set in the 1800s, this time focusing on a group of settlers heading west, but this one particularly grabs my attention, as it comes from the mind of Shaun Cassidy, who – at least in my estimation – has yet to attach his name to any TV series that hasn't at least proven interesting. Clancy Brown is in the cast, which is always a plus in my book, and so is Ethan Embry, who I've liked for as long as I can remember.

How The Internet Came to Be and Why It Adversely Affects You
Home / How The Internet Came to Be and Why It Adversely Affects You
We all us the internet, whether we like it or not. Consider that there are over 8.97 billion mobile connections existing today, according to GMSA real-time intelligence data. That is more than the estimated population of the Earth, which is 7.71 billion, according to estimates done by the UN.
So how did the internet get its start? A number of factors came into play. The internet technically started in 1983. This was because ARPANET adopted TCP/IP. ARPANET was developed under the direction of the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). The TCP/IP protocol suite was designed in 1970s by two DARPA scientists.
The latest version of TCP/IP IPv6 can provide the internet with approximately 3.403 x 10 to the 38th power IP addresses. For all practical purposes this is close to infinity.These are unique public addresses. This would allow every device, whether it be your smart phone, toaster oven, microwave, automobile, everything that runs on electricity and anything embedded in your body, that is powered by electricity, could theoretically be connected to the internet. This means, theoretical speaking, everybody on the planet and all their electrically powered devices, could be monitored by the internet. This means everything that is considered smart, because they are using a microprocessor, BIOS, RAM memory and networking circuitry, hard-wired or wireless could be connected on the internet. Can you say 1984 is about to happen. You read the book and were probably made to read this one in high school or maybe in University. The premise of this novel was very horrifying.
Let's face it, everything we do is connected to the internet, Every time you buy something in the grocery store, the internet is involved. All banking transactions are recorded on some lonely data server, which could be located anywhere in the world. Even when you use cash, this transaction gets recorded somewhere on some server located on some server farm.
When you drive down the road and are recorded speeding on a traffic camera, this is also recorded somewhere using the internet, When you walk into a shopping mall, everything you do is caught on camera, using the internet to allow someone to monitor your every move. All of this is recorded and saved forever or at least until the server breaks down and not backed up. Everything you say on social media is recorded and saved on some data base and will never be erased. In fact certain social media giants allow us to their software, knowing full well that everything you say and record becomes their exclusive property. You know who these social media giants are. But we continue to use their software and allow it to reside on our computers, collecting our personal ideas and social comments. No wonder certain law enforcement agencies love these social media giants. Do you blame them?
According to some estimates there are 1900 operational satellites orbiting the Earth, launched by 40 countries. How many of these are spy satellites? Nobody really knows, except the countries who launched them. Think about this, the internet can be accessed by using satellites.You do the math. Certain search engines can give you access to satellite imagines that will show any village, town or city in the world, from the perspective of standing in a street. This is not in real-time, but is that far off with the advancements happening in computer technology and the internet.
So we can see the internet is adversely affecting us, as it can be and is being to used to monitor everything we do. Privacy is golng down the drain.
Adversely, Affects, internet


Traqspera is a mobile and cloud-based worksite management platform for contractors, offering employee, training and safety management, time and billing, and more. With the aim of simplifying and streamlining worksite management, Traqspera provides tools such as timeclock, asset scanning, document storage, advanced search, real time safety statistics and incident reporting.
In order to aid with accurate project assignment, Traqspera includes an employee database with personal information, location, training qualifications, certifications and availability meaning that management can assemble the most suitable team for a job. Employers can use the advanced search and filter tools to find exactly what credentials they're looking for and for added accuracy, field workers can clock in and out of locations and the database will update in real time, ensuring accuracy.
Assets can also be tracked, assigned and accounted for using the asset management tools with checkout scanners for equipment and vehicles, reducing the risk of theft or misplacement of assets. The clock in/out feature can also be used for tracking billable hours and consolidating employee timesheets so that employees can be paid accurately and customers can be billed without errors.
Traqspera's safety management features ensure that businesses are always safety compliant with real-time safety statistics and trends, reports on total recordable incident frequency (TRIF), incident reports, follow-ups and action plans to avoid future occurrences.
Traqspera is a vital resource for information tracking and storage.
The user interface is very well laid out which makes it easy to access any features. Regardless of technical ability the intuitive layout makes it accessible for users of all skill levels.
Occasionally there are problems when doing a query, be it for an employee or a job, where the database doesn't load all available options resulting in "no results" being found. It can typically be fixed with a refresh, but to those who are not aware it creates the sense of an incomplete database on the part of our admin staff. Additionally, there are some saving issues with regards to timesheets where, upon completing a week's worth of entry's, it will save the timesheet as completed and approved but will delete all entries submitted for that timesheet.
Traqspera has helped increase productivity by eliminating duplication of data.
A tremendous asset in the submission of employee time to payroll and maintaining information on all past, present and upcoming jobs. The ability to pull reporting direct from Traqspera into a number of different formats. Real time data capability. Information of jobs, employees, and assets available from desktop as well as remotely through an app.
The ability to pull reporting direct from Traqspera into a number of different formats. Real time data capability. Information of jobs, employees, and assets available from desktop as well as remotely through an app.
The only con I can think of is Traqspera allows the user to save forms that have not been completed in full. Which can defeat the purpose of sharing information.
This program has made it easy to manage jobs and employees for us.
The program has given our Management staff and admin staff a place to have all our information together. We are just starting to use the tool check out option now and look forward to seeing more benefits for tracking other inventory we have such as fuel cards, gate keys, etc. We no longer need to work with multiple excel spreadsheets that were used before for tracking equipment and employees. Data is consistent and complete now. The support and training for using Traqspera has been phenomenal and we learn new things all the time.Having all our information in one place and that we can manage who can access certain aspects of the program.

I would love to have the expired training automatically send a reminder to the employee and administration.
User friendly. Excellent at tracking safety stats, manpower and assets/equipment.
This software help me manage my time way more efficiently, allowing me to have more time to work on other task and be with my family.My favorite thing is to be able to track a Jobs profitability on a daily basis. For cost plus job the ability to pull reports to give to the client each day.

Campaign for UC Santa Barbara Raises $544 Million
More than $40 million in private gifts was received in 2008-09
by UCSB October 6, 2009 | 3:52 pm Updated January 4, 2023 | 11:25 pm
The Campaign for UC Santa Barbara so far has generated $544 million in private giving for priority projects and initiatives to ensure UCSB's excellence for future generations.
Of that total, UCSB received $40.6 million in gifts and pledges from alumni, parents and friends in 2008-09 for teaching, research and innovative academic programs. Amid the global economic downturn, contributions to the campus were down sharply from the record $81.4 million of the previous year. However, the funds raised exceeded earlier projections. The campus received 17,525 gifts, a substantial increase over 2007-08.
"UC Santa Barbara's accomplishments are strengthened immeasurably by philanthropic gifts," UCSB Chancellor Henry Yang said. "We are sincerely grateful to our devoted alumni, parents, friends and supporters for their steadfast generosity and inspirational commitment to the future excellence of the campus, especially in these challenging times."
UCSB's endowment — now estimated at more than $154 million — has grown $79 million since the Campaign for UC Santa Barbara began in 2000. A total of 57 new endowed professorships have been established to advance teaching and research, and 139 new fellowships have been created to attract and support outstanding graduate students.
"UC Santa Barbara received 1,100 more gifts this year than in our prior record year in spite of the significant downturn in the global economy," said Gary Greinke, associate vice chancellor for development. "This generosity helped sustain the campus and reflects the strong loyalty to our mission by alumni, parents and friends."
During 2008-09, philanthropic gifts and grants to UCSB for instruction, student support, research and academic programs totaled more than $33 million and were distributed across the disciplines.
Emmy Award-winning TV producer Marcy Carsey, a parent of two UCSB graduates and a trustee of the UC Santa Barbara Foundation, made an additional $1 million gift for programming at the Pollock Theater in the Carsey-Wolf Center for Film, Television and New Media, which is named for her. Carsey is an honorary alumna of the campus.
Three endowed chairs were established by UCSB alumni last year with gifts totaling nearly $2.4 million. They are the Susan F. Gurley Chair in Theoretical Biology in the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, the Glen and Susanne Culler Chair in Computer Science, and the Doluca Family Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Corporate and foundation support for the campus amounted to more than $26 million. Among the largest gifts were $2.4 million from the Rainbow Optoelectronics Material Shanghai Company to become an industrial partner with the Solid State Lighting and Energy Center, and $2.2 million from the J. E. & Lillian Byrne Tipton Foundation for the Sedgwick Reserve. Sedgwick is part of the University of California's Natural Reserve System.
In addition, the Hellman Family Foundation made a $1 million gift to renew and expand its support of research by promising assistant professors across the disciplines who "show capacity for great distinction." The Hellman Fellows program was established in 2008 with a $250,000 gift from the foundation.
The Foundation for Research and Development in the Middle East also made a $1 million gift for research at the Orfalea Center for Global and International Studies focusing on climate change threats to human security and democracy.
Unrestricted gifts, which help create exceptional educational opportunities for students, amounted to nearly $1.8 million.


Sailing around the world is a unique experience that not many people get to see up close and personal. Thankfully, you don't have to go on an extended vacation or own a boat in order to experience all of the wonders that can be found while sailing the open water. YouTuber and sailor JeffHK attached his video camera to a cargo ship, and let the the camera roll for an astonishing 30 days. This is one of the best ways to see the night sky, just exactly as our ancestors saw it. The thousands upon thousands of stars are beyond angelic!
JeffHK started his trip in the Red Sea, where the peaceful serenity of the Milky Way galaxy lit up the night sky. After leaving the Gulf of Aden, the boat crossed the vast stretches of the Indian Ocean, where clear blue skies seem to take over the horizon. But, nature has other forms of beauty too, such as the heavy rainstorm that greeted the ship at Sri Lanka's Port of Colombo. Yet, once the cargo boat sailed into the Strait of Malacca, JeffHK found himself trading raindrops for a sizzling lightning storm display.
After passing by a barrage of squid boats, and enjoying an endless series of gorgeous sunrises and sunsets in Singapore and the South East China Sea, JeffHK finally ended his journey in Hong Kong. But, this adventure on the high seas was really only the beginning for all of his YouTube and Instagram fans. It took around 80,000 photos to put together this astonishing footage! The video they captured is stunningly beautiful, wow! Watch the video below to see mother nature put on one of her most impressive performances ever.

'The Princess Bride' remake idea has people crying inconceivable
"The Princess Bride" is fine just the way it is, thank you very much.
After Sony Pictures Entertainment chief executive Tony Vinciquerra mentioned the idea of a reboot to Variety in a profile on the film's executive producer, Norman Lear, people on Twitter were quick to respond.
"We have so many people coming to us saying, 'We want to remake this show or that show,'" Vinciquerra said. "Very famous people whose names I won't use, but they want to redo 'The Princess Bride.'"
Cary Elwes, who plays the film's hero, Westley, said it would be a shame to remake the 1987 comedy.
"There's a shortage of perfect movies in this world," Elwes wrote in a Tweet. "It would be a pity to damage this one."
Jamie Lee Curtis, who is married to "The Princess Bride" actor Christopher Guest, had her own opinion.
"Oh really? Well, I married the six fingered man, obviously why we have stayed together for 35 years and there is only ONE The Princess Bride and it's William Goldman and @robreiner's," she wrote. "'Life is pain highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something!'"
Seth Rogen assured a commenter who suggested he was behind a remake that he was not, and would never consider it.
Fans defended the original too, with many people crying outrage over the idea of a remake even being suggested.

Colgate Bests Syracuse in Dome for 2nd-Straight Year
Article by Dan Tortora
The Syracuse Orange and Colgate Raiders squared off for their 174th overall meeting, meeting in the Dome on a snowy Tuesday night in Centrral New York.
Losing 54 games in a row versus the Orange, the Raiders were on a mission last season, winning their first game against the Orange since 1962, by a score of 100-85.
Before that game, Syracuse Head Coach Jim Boeheim had never lost to Colgate, with the previous Raiders' head-to-head win coming back on February 24, 1962, by a score of 67-63 during the 1961-62 season in Syracuse, New York.
True freshman point guard Judah Mintz would put the ball in the nylon first, giving the Orange a 2-0 lead just nine seconds into the game.
After two ties, the Raiders would take the lead, 8-5, off of a three at the 15:50 mark off the hands of senior guard Oliver Lynch-Daniels, and not looking back for the rest of the first half.
With approximately eight minutes off the first-half clock, Colgate had doubled the offensive output of Syracuse, ahead 18-9 on the road.
The Orange would come out of this break, at the 12:09 mark, on a 7-0 run to get within one possession, down 18-16, but the Raiders would respond with their own run, 6-0, to move out to a three-possession advantage, 24-16.
Sophomore transfer center Mounir Hima would break the Colgate run with an offensive rebound and putback to get Syracuse within two possessions.
However, junior guard Chandler Baker and senior guard Tucker Richardson cashed in on back-to-back shots from beyond the arc and just like that, were ahead by their largest margin of the game at the time, 12 points, up 30-18 with exactly seven minutes to go in the first half.
With under 5:30 remaining in the opening half, the Raiders were 8-for-17 from long range, accumulating 24 of their 35 points from three-point land.
The two New York-based teams would head into the locker room with Colgate leading convincingly 44-30.
Their largest lead of the half was 18, 42-24.
Colgate went 15-for-32 in the first half, Syracuse 11-for-31. From deep, the Raiders were 11-for-21 while the Orange were 5-for-13. Five Colgate players made at least one three-pointer in the first half: Richardson was 5-for-7, Lynch-Daniels 3-for-4, Baker 2-for-4, and freshman guard Braedan Smith 1-for-4.
The Orange were out-rebounded in the first half, 21 to 19.
Colgate was the first to score out of the halftime hiatus, with senior forward Ryan Moffatt becoming the fifth player on the Raiders to make a deep shot in this contest.
After Richardon's sixth three-pointer of the night, Colgate was just shy of being ahead by 20, 57-39, at the 14:18 mark of the second half.
With 9:27 remaining in the match-up, sophomore forward Benny Williams would knock down both of his free throws to get the Orange within 12, 62-50. At this point in the game, Williams had 15 points on 5-for-10 shooting, including 1-fof-3 from deep, 4-for-4 at the charity stripe, five rebounds, one steal, and one foul. He would finish with 17 points, playing in 38 of 40 minutes, going 6-for-12, with eight rebounds, one block, one steal, and one assist.
Syracuse would not regain the lead in the entire second half, losing it with 15:50 remaining in the first half and never seeing it for the final 35+ minutes as Colgate takes down Syracuse for the second season in a row, and by double-digits once again, this time by a score of 80-68.
Colgate advances ahead to 3-1 with the victory, while Syracuse falls to .500 at 1-1.
The Raiders made 50% of their threes in the game, going 19-for-38.
Richardson ended the night 7-for-11 from long range, followed by Moffatt's 4-for-6, Lynch-Daniels' 4-for-8, Baker's 2-for-5, and Smith's 2-for-7.
The overall record is still well in favor of the Orange, 127-47, but the Raiders winning two years in a row now stings, leaving Orange fans in a place they have not been since the 1960s, the last time period where Colgate won multiple games in a row, winning twice in 1960-61 and again in the following 1961-62 season.

Curators' Introduction for Unsettled Landscapes
Ellen was tapped to moderate the curators' panel that opened Unsettled Landscapes: New Perspectives on Art of the Americas at SITE Santa Fe in July 2014.
The participants included: Irene Hofmann, Phillips director and chief curator of Santa Fe. Irene is director of the new biennial series, SITElines, that the exhibition titled Unsettled Landscapes launched. Janet Dees is curator of special projects of SITE and SITElines Center program director. The guest curators of Unsettled Landscapes were Candice Hopkins, who holds a master's from the Center of Curatorial Studies at Bard and whose curatorial gigs have taken place at: National Gallery of Canada, the Western Front, the Banff Centre's Walter Phillips Gallery and the Museum of Contemporary Native Art in Santa Fe. Lucia Sanroman is an independent curator and writer who was associate curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego from 2006-11. She was awarded the 2012 Warhol Foundation Curatorial Fellowship for Citizen Culture: Art and Architecture Shape Policy, an exhibit that took place at Santa Monica Museum from September 13-December 30th, 2014.
Questions included collaboration/"collective bargaining" by four individual curators on this new project; the scope of the "landscapes" they sought to define as unsettled; a new model deviating from a "pavilion" or country-to-country approach to biennials; and sensitivity to local conditions as they did their curatorial work.

What to Expect: Wrestle Kingdom 13 IWGP Heavyweight Championship Kenny Omega (c) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi
Marc Madison (Editor in Chief)

As Wrestle Kingdom 13 is upon us one match is slated to turn heads as it usually does. When current IWGP Heavyweight champion Kenny Omega faces former seven-time IWGP Heavyweight champion for the championship it is sure to be a match that will garner the attention of everyone watching. This matchup is as much about tradition as it is about the championship itself. For fans familiar with Tanahashi they are fully aware that he is as much a part of the fabric of New Japan Pro Wrestling as anyone else that has had a significant and longstanding tenure with the company. Along with Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kazuchika Okada is considered one of the more recent pillars of New Japan Pro Wrestling's cultural fabric.
As with recent traditions, the decision to have this match was a result of the G1 Climax 28 tournament in the Summer of 2018. In the final Hiroshi Tanahashi beat former three-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight champion Kota Ibushi in the finals. Since 2012 the decision has been made for the winner of this tournament to face the then IWGP Heavyweight champion at Wrestle Kingdom. It is an event that surely will prove to have the eyes of the entire world watching. What has been dubbed as the 'IWGP Heavyweight Championship challenge rights certificate' is what, is won.
While unlike in other promotions it is not used at any point and time this rights certificate is to be used a specific place and time and that being Wrestle Kingdom. While the rights certificate was earned by Tanahashimatchup it was nearly lost before this event was to take place. During NJPW's Destruction in Kobe and King of Pro-Wrestling events, Tanahashi had to defend his right defeating Kazuchika Okada and Jay White (whom are facing one another) on consecutive nights.

The same could be said about IWGP Heavyweight champion Kenny Omega defending his championship. He faced Tomohiro Ishii and also against Elite and Golden Elite teammates Kota Ibushi and Cody at both the Destruction in Hiroshima and King of Pro-Wrestling. With both Omega and Tanahashi having to work to ensure their matchup would still take place it was made official. This matchup is not without some question though as all involved continue to work to prove their worth regardless of the outcome.
While respect is something both men have easily garnered it is more a discussion of 'is respect enough'? Omega had fought countless times against Okada. In facing Tanahashi there is no question that he is a focal point before the match takes place and likely after it takes place as well. He is a figurehead in New Japan Pro Wrestling so to assess what the result will be as important as well. Is a win for the championship here just that simple? Both been dubbed Tanahashi are men of great value to the promotion and could this be a case of one feeling his time at the top is slipping away.
When two fan favorites face each other one undoubtedly may be seen as something that isn't considered the face of the two. In comparison, fans were witness to a potentially wonderful match between Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles in the WWE and then there was a moment when the direction of one character completely changed and one face became the heel. Could this be the moment when undoubtedly a face becomes a heel? To see Kenny Omega in the role of the heel isn't unlikely as New Japan Pro Wrestling fans have seen him turn on Bullet Club members AJ Styles and Adam Cole in the past. In having him do whatever is necessary to win the match isn't much of a stretch for the cleaner. However, what if in some strange or potentially bizarre series of events we don't have Omega turn his back on the New Japan faithful, but arguably the most respected face in the promotion's history.

In having Hiroshi Tanahashi turn heel and do what he needed to do in order to win would send shockwaves through the wrestling world. His betrayal would be tied to him feeling as though he has been taken for granted. That everything he has done for New Japan Pro Wrestling wasn't valued as it should have been. That betrayal would be even more heightened if it was met with the allegiance of those in the Bullet Club Firing Squad. It turns the knife even deeper as it was Tama Tonga and the remaining Firing Squad faction that excommunicated Kenny Omega among others a few months ago.

Q: JTabbedPane tab-alignment I can't seem to find this.
What method (and constant) do I use to align the tabs in a JTabbedPane.
I Found how to switch between Top and Bottom. But I'm trying to put them in the center at the bottom.
So that it looks like this
ooooooooooooooooooo
o..................................o
o..................................o
o..................................o
o..................................o
ooooooooooooooooooo
......  |Tab1||Tab2|
Thanks

A: You can't. This layout rule is enforced by the selected look and feel.

A: You can write your own UI-Delegate for JTabbedPane component that extends BasicTabbedPane class and overwrite the
method 'getTabInsets(int, int)'. Change value of 'tabInsets' atribute ( default value is: new Insets(0,4,1,4), centered).

Show Description:
"School is the advertising agency which makes you believe that you need the society as it is."
~Ivan Illich
Homeschooling is a progressive movement around the world, in which parents choose to educate their children at home instead of sending them to a traditional schools. Families choose to homeschool for a variety of reasons, including dissatisfaction with the educational options available, different religious beliefs or educational philosophies, and the belief that children are not progressing within the traditional school structure.
The homeschooling movement began growing in the 1970s, when some popular authors and researchers, such as John Holt and Dorothy and Raymond Moore, started writing about educational reform. They suggested homeschooling as an alternative educational option. Today we speak with three women who took this option to heart and are homeschooling their own children, and in some cases, contribute to the homeschool education of groups of children. Tonight promises to be an incredible conversation.
Radonda Dobbins is a former social worker who worked as the Children's Program Coordinator for a domestic violence shelter and later became the Child Welfare Specialist for the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence, where she sat on the state of Florida's Child Abuse Death Review Team for six years. During that time, she advocated for legislative changes to protect Florida's children. In 2000, she was invited to attend the State of The World Forum in New York City to discuss education reform and children's issues.
In February of 2001, Radonda's REAL journey into child development truly began with the birth of her daughter, Brianna. Her daughter, now 13, has never attended public school and is an accomplished musician, playing viola for the Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra.
In 2006 Radonda started the homeschool support group, Home Educators' Network of Central Florida, which grew to over 700 families strong. In May of 2013, she incorporated HENCF and in September of that year, opened a brick and mortar enrichment and tutoring center. This center is a labor of love and is continuing to grow and expand to meet the needs of the community. To supplement her income, she also works as a travel agent, specializing in family and educational vacations.
Radonda is a proud single mom raising her daughter on three acres of land with chickens, cats, fish, a turtle and a hedgehog. She and her daughter both volunteer for Back to Nature Wildlife Refuge in their spare time. Despite her past experiences, the journey of motherhood and her commitment to improving the homeschool community has, by far, been the most challenging AND the most rewarding "job" she has ever had.

Sophia has enjoys managing her circus on a "day to day" basis. This "fly by the seat of her pants" mother has been a part of multiple scenarios for homeschooling, alongside the public school district, completely off the grid, with a charter, and is currently settled on a combination of the aforementioned.
Living in South Orange County, California there are a plethora of homeschool groups, co-ops and organizations to draw from and serve alongside. Many times over a teacher of co-teacher of everything from Chemistry for Kids to Drama. Sophia loves the opportunity to share her confidence that homeschooling has been a great choice for her family and encourages any interested families that they to can succeed at this wildly fun adventure.

Parkour is one of the most well known activities around but surprisingly the history is surrounded in mystery, with no clear time or place where it began. Generally speaking the agreement was that it began in France with a few bold Frenchmen starting the trend in the urban centre of Paris. From there it's spread around the world and taken the international scene by storm.
Parkour itself is a difficult thing to define. It incorporates elements of various different disciplines and brings them together in unique harmony. When Raymond Belle first practiced the sport it was as part of combat training which, given the movement and actions, makes a lot of sense. But parkour is a lot more than that and it involves gymnastics, martial arts and other athletic or sports like abilities.
While parkour grew and evolved it started to develop a following and more of a meaning. Freedom, creativity and style all become a core part of parkour and on the back of this it grew. In the early 21st century videos of parkour practitioners, traceurs, went viral. Social media piqued everyone's interest and allowed traceurs to grow and influence more people.
Nowadays parkour is well known and hugely popular and more people are getting involved year on year. It's a discipline that takes years of training to be able to do well so the question has become; where do I start? This is where some of our must read parkour books come in.
Parkour is viewed as an active, outdoor and creative sport, something you do not associate with books or reading. However if you make this assumption you're going to miss out on a wealth of knowledge that will do you more good than training.
Just like with other sports or activities there is a lot of value in reading and learning from other people's successes. Parkour has an even more interesting angle because it is relatively new but constantly adapting. There are a range of different techniques, beliefs and types of parkour and traceurs focus on different aspects.
It can definitely be difficult to know where to start with the mammoth task of learning parkour however thankfully there are now a range of books from some of the best in the business which can give you top tips to hit the ground running. Let's take you through our top 5 must read parkour books.
Parkour is a lot more complicated than you might think, with different philosophies alongside different training techniques. In our search we've come across books which cover all the angles of parkour so whether you're a complete newbie, or already well established, it's definitely worth picking yourself up some of these must read books.
The first on our list for must read parkour books is Parkour Strength Training. This has been written by two very successful traceurs with a long history in parkour, Ryan Ford and Ben Musholt. Ryan Ford is well known in the parkour world and is involved with a chain of specialised parkour gyms. Ben Musholt is another well established traceur but combines this with a background in physiotherapy. Their extensive experience comes through in the pages.
This book, as the title suggests, is all about building the strength to succeed in parkour. The goal of parkour is to get from A to B, but actually this book won't teach you any parkour moves. Instead this book provides you with training routines and strength development techniques that get you ready to get out there.
The book makes a number of links to other training methods, seeing the similarities across the board for gymnastics training. It will help you understand the important parts of your body for parkour and encourage you to develop a routine for a full range of movement.
This book is absolutely perfect for anyone just beginning their parkour journey looking to gain the necessary strength. It's ideal for preparing your mind and body for the challenges of parkour and setting up the right training routine. With glowing reviews from readers it's definitely one of the must read parkour books.
Julie Angel's book approached parkour from a whole new angle. Instead of looking just at the practical, breaking the jump gives us insight into the history of parkour looking at the humble beginnings and initial challenges that were overcome.
Breaking the Jump is a coming of age story based around parkour that looks at the wider implications that might not have been considered before. It's a story that teaches some memorable lessons that coaches around the world have incorporated into their training.
Julie Angel is herself a movement coach and has used the history covered in her book to pass on some of the wisdom earned by traceurs over time. It's great for anyone just starting out or anyone who has experience to learn about the philosophy of what parkour is all about. This will in turn help inspire your performance and training.
Written by Dan Edwarde, The Parkour and Freerunning Handbook is known as one of the essential books when it comes to parkour. Dan Edwarde himself is a heavyweight in the industry and co founder of Parkour Generations, a whole training academy for parkour. He's more experienced than most and has put so much useful information into this handbook.
This book combines both the physical side of parkour with the mental aspect. He tackles some of the concepts underpinning parkour which give insight into why it exists and how to get the most from it. At the same time he introduces the core elements of the physical side regarding balance, strength and positioning.
This handbook is maybe the most useful of our top 5 must read parkour books because of the incredible amount of directly useful information within it. Whatever stage you're at, if you practice parkour then this book will be of great value to you.
The Parkour Roadmap is perhaps the most detailed and comprehensive book on the list. It's written by a long time parkour trainer Max Henry who has won several parkour competitions in his time, there's certainly no questioning his credentials.
After introducing the history and culture of parkour, this book goes on to give insights into the parkour way of life. It gives instruction on training and working a parkour regime into everyday life. Finally it explores some of the more advanced techniques not covered elsewhere.
Parkour Roadmap also gives insight into how you can fit in with the parkour community. By helping you find like minded people and specialised parkour gyms you can become part of something greater, and that's why Parkour Roadmap is a must read.
This last book is slightly different from the others but still incredibly relevant to parkour. Overcoming Gravity is all about strength training and creating a regiment that will allow your body to become stronger quickly and effectively.
Stephen Low, the author, has a long history of strength training and certainly knows what he's talking about. He's used his experience to create a manual for others to follow, perhaps learning from his mistakes.
This is more of a practical book with information relating to injury management, promoting healthy lifestyle, training your body and getting ready for strain. Overcoming Gravity has a strong focus on the science behind these aspects and is very comprehensive in it's content and recommendations.
This is certainly one of the more versatile books but still definitely one of the top 5 must read parkour books.
Reading really is the base of all knowledge and a fantastic place to start with any new discipline. All of our 5 must read parkour books offer something of real value to anyone interested in parkour but in combination they provide a well rounded overview of what parkour is and how to do it effectively. So whether you're just starting out or you're already out there training; these are definitely books to look out for.


Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a recognised risk factor for adverse outcomes in critical illness and hospitalised patients in general. To understand the incidence and associations of AKI as a peri-operative complication of major abdominal surgery, we conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
Using a systematic strategy, we searched the electronic reference databases for articles describing post-operative renal outcomes using consensus criteria for AKI diagnosis (RIFLE, AKIN or KDIGO) in the setting of major abdominal surgery. Pooled incidence of AKI and, where reported, pooled relative risk of death after post-operative AKI were estimated using random effects models.
From 4287 screened titles, 19 articles met our inclusion criteria describing AKI outcomes in 82,514 patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Pooled incidence of AKI was 13.4 % (95 % CI 10.9–16.4 %). In eight studies that reported the short-term mortality, relative risk of death in the presence of post-operative AKI was 12.6 fold (95 % CI, 6.8–23.4). Where reported, length of stay was greater and non-renal post-operative complications were also more frequent in patients experiencing AKI.
Using modern consensus definitions, AKI is a common complication of major abdominal surgery that is associated with adverse patient outcomes including death. While a causative role for AKI cannot be concluded from this analysis, as an important signal of peri-operative harm, AKI should be regarded as an important surgical outcome measure and potential target for clinical interventions.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) affects around 13 % of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery and on average its occurrence is associated with a 12-fold (95 % CI 6.8–23.4) crude risk of dying in the post-operative period. AKI is a common and important clinical signal of peri-operative harm and a potential target for measures to improve post-operative outcomes.

Music Preferred - Essays in Musicology, Cultural History and Analysis in Honour of Harry White
by: Lorraine Byrne Bodley
Hollitzer Wissenschaftsverlag, 2018
Format: PDF, PDB, Read online
» Download free excerpt
The contributions to this Festschrift, honouring the distinguished Irish musicologist Harry White on his sixtieth birthday, have wide repercussions and span a broad timeframe. But for all its variety, this volume is built around two axes: on the one hand, attention is focussed on the history of music and literature in Ireland and the British Isles, and on the other, topics of the German and Austrian musical past. In both cases it reflects the particular interest of a scholar, whose playful, sometimes unconventional way of approaching his subject is so refreshing and time and again leads to innovative, surprising insights. It also reflects a scholar, who - for all the broadening of his perspectives that has taken place over the years - has always adhered to the strands of his scholarly preoccupations that have become dear to him: the music of the 'Austro-Italian Baroque', and Irish musical culture first and foremost. An international cast of authors announces the sustaining influence of Harry White's wide-ranging research. Professor Dr Thomas Hochradner Chair of the Department of Musicology University of Music and Dramatic Arts Mozarteum Salzburg

Q: How to split pyspark dataframe with 3 million records equally in azure databricks I have a pyspark dataframe which connect to oracle database and read a table which has 3 million records. I need to write this dataframe to azure eventhub.
Below is the sample pyspark datframe write to eventhub code.
df.select("body") \
   .write\
   .format("eventhubs") \
   .options(**ehconf) \
   .save()

How to split my pyspark dataframe into 10 parts equally (300k records/ dataframe) ?
So that I can send iterate each of these 10 pyspark dataframes to eventhub.

A: You can specify the number of partitions by
df.select('body').coalesce(10).write
OR
df.select('body').repartition(10).write

coalesce only decrease the number of partitions while repartition can
increase or decrease.  repartition will do full shuffle, while
coalesce(2) will keep partition 1 & 2 as it is and move anything in
other partitions to fit into partition 1 & 2.

So, if your current partitions are higher than 10, use coalesce.
(You can check the num of partitions by df.rdd.getNumPartitions())
