The Rajapaksa regime of Today is the most hawkish, absolutist, militarist, ethno-hegemonistic, unilateralist , ideologically rigid and extremist ever in the island's post-Independence history.

The substantive foreign policy debate during this Budget was between the SLPP and the Tamil Opposition. More specifically it was between Ministers Dinesh Gunawardena and Prof. G.L. Peiris on the one hand, and Parliamentarians M.A. Sumanthiran and Gajan Ponnambalam on the other. That debate, though superficially Sinhala/Tamil, south/north, was not simply that. It was an important and civilised clash of perspectives.
Each side said much that was correct but was partial, one-sided. Though the trees were of valuable timber, each side missed the wood for the trees. What Sri Lanka's foreign policy lacks is the ability either to bridge the two perspectives or chart a middle path between them.
The keyword in the debate was sovereignty. Foreign Minister Dinesh Gunawardena and former Foreign Minister, currently the Minister of Education, G.L. Peiris argued strongly for the sovereign equality of states and non-interference, while Sumanthiran took the sovereignty of peoples—including, in Sumanthiran's argument, the pre-existing, pre-colonial sovereignty of the Tamil statelet—as their ground. That latter point is untenable because when the kingdoms were brought together non-federally, and at the founding of independent Ceylon, the state form opted for was a unitary one as distinct from the separate referenda that the British insisted upon in India, yielding a quasi-federal compact.
Of the speakers in the debate on foreign affairs, Gajan Ponnambalam was something of an outlier, as he almost always is, but this time, he enunciated a most challenging, dialectically reasoned proposition which made his the most interesting single contribution to the discussion. Little wonder then that his speech was totally ignored.
The problem with both sides in the sovereignty debate was that they were standing on principles rather than practice, matters 'de jure' rather than 'de facto', the 'ought' of things rather than the 'is'.
Taken together, their contending discourses would bring us to a closer approximation of the reality of how the world works—but they aren't taken together.
Partial perspectives
The Dinesh Gunawardena-G.L. Peiris argument of absolute national/state sovereignty and non-interference, is unsustainable. If sovereignty were the reality of world affairs, Sri Lanka would not have experienced the shock of July 1987 and our global isolation.
Dinesh Gunawardena and G.L. Peiris, undoubtedly able, are constrained by the Gotabaya framework which has forgotten the lessons of 1987 or learned the wrong ones and is trying to put the clock back to pre-1987, if not worse: imagining that the rise of China has actually put the clock back to pre-1987 for Sri Lanka.
By contrast, all Sri Lankan Presidents since 1987, including Mahinda Rajapaksa, operated within the post-1987 Realist framework. The newly-elected President MR told me emphatically over dinner in late 2005, as we discussed the international factors in the absence of Lakshman Kadirgamar and the scenario of the return to war by Prabhakaran: "I really don't care about anybody else so long as I have India on my side."
If the world always functioned according to the admirable principle of the sovereign equality of states and consequent non-intervention in internal affairs, the country formerly known as Yugoslavia would still exist, while the provocative adventurism of Georgia and the Ukraine would not have cost them part of their territories.
The same goes for the 'sovereignty of peoples' as evocatively championed by Sumanthiran, and the vanishing of 'state sovereignty' as proclaimed by him. Tell that to Tigray and the decisive, relentless (Nobel-prize winning) Ethiopian leader.
As for Sumanthiran's entirely justifiable and accurate reiteration of the repeated promises made on the record to India by the Mahinda Rajapaksa presidency, the question remains as to why the TNA did not take those promises as their premise and press for the implementation of the 13th Amendment rather than trying to push the boundaries of the 13th Amendment (2011-2012), and subsequently vaulting over the 13th Amendment and pushing for a new Constitution which deleted Sri Lanka's unitary status—which was one of the factors that killed off the UNP.
The MR Government found it far easier to renege on the promise made to India because the TNA itself let the Government off that hook, which was the only hook it was and is on. Having absurdly sought after the massive wartime defeat and despite it, to push beyond the provisions on land policy in the 13th Amendment and demanded in 2011-2012 that even State land could be utilised only with the permission of the provincial Chief Minister—a demand that incensed Mahinda Rajapaksa—the Tamils now experience daily, a creeping contestation over their traditional lands and the creation of 'facts on the ground' (Netanyahu-style) under a decidedly more hawkish President and his like-minded Eastern Governor.
Cyril Mathew's ghost
Gajan Ponnambalam's argument was conceptually more complex and subtle than that made by Sumanthiran. It was also closer the bull's-eye and therefore did not elicit a response from the government benches. Ponnambalam's point was that the Sinhala-Buddhist political elite sought to balance against India because of a perception of Indian support for the Tamils of Sri Lanka. The ruling elite first tilted towards the USA in the 1980s and paid the price, and it is now doing the same by tilting strategically towards China and will similarly pay a price.
The root cause, the Original Sin, says Ponnambalam is the Sinhala ruling elite's unwillingness to share power fairly with this country's Tamil citizenry. Ponnambalam predicts that this time, if the deprivation of Tamil rights and land goes too far, and is coupled with a continuing, deepening strategic Sri Lankan alignment with China in the current context of great power competition, the Sinhalese, though they may succeed in destroying Tamil sovereignty for a generation, would have only engaged, ironically, in what amounts to Mutually Assured Destruction because they will find their own political and State sovereignty shattered by external factors and forces.
Evidence for Gajan Ponnambalam's thesis was the verbal virulence and viciousness the Minister of Public Security Rear-Admiral (Retd.) Sarath Weerasekara aimed at M.A. Sumanthiran MP over his presence at the home of a client, the mother of a slain LTTE cadre of some considerable notoriety, where the woman had lit a lamp in commemoration. Minister Weerasekara's unfamiliarity with Sophocles' Antigone was the least worrisome of his lapses.
What Weerasekara said to Sumanthiran reeked of Minister Cyril Mathew's attacks on TULF Leader Amirthalingam in 1977-'83. Mathew's sustained hate speech and neofascist networking triggered a chain-reaction: a pogrom and eventual external intervention. However, President JR, unlike President GR, didn't compound his myopic folly by appointing Mathew the Minister of Public Security, including the Police and the Civil Defence Forces, with plans for "Civil Defence Committees [which] will be formed in each village in the country to keep a watchful eye…like during the war times." (Daily Mirror)
When he boycotted the 2005 presidential election, Velupillai Prabhakaran bet on a hardline racist Rajapaksa regime alienating world opinion and thereby isolating itself internationally, rendering Tamil Eelam more easily attainable. Picking the wrong method (warfare) and the wrong Rajapaksa (Mahinda), Prabhakaran was utterly vanquished.
Distressingly, Prabhakaran's polarisation hypothesis may have a chance of posthumous validation in the present, due to the following:
(1) Denoting a tectonic shift, the regime is the most hawkish, absolutist, militarist, ethno-hegemonistic, ideologically rigid and extremist, unilateralist, and the remotest from the liberal-democratic 'open society' model and global political community, ever in the island's post-Independence history.
(2) It will formalise its ethno-religious supremacist ethos in a new Constitution, which will widen the gap with India which has an unprecedented interface with the USA not only strategically but also socially (many Biden nominees and staffers are Indian-American).
(3) It is dependent upon, influenced by, and integrated with China to an unprecedented degree at a time of heightened Great Power competition.
(4) It is going counter to the emerging Biden-Harris led, post-Trump global zeitgeist of democratic, anti-racist/anti-supremacist internationalism.
(5) The Tamils, especially Tamil women, are more high profile and influential than ever before in the global political and social mainstream from the USA to New Zealand.
The Tamil external advantage is hampered by the political cyanide-capsule of the delegitimising Tiger suicide-terrorist cult, manifested in the grotesque Mahaveer commemoration in Britain, replete with the inverted rifle symbol, which no US administration (however liberal) or India can afford to be seen to countenance or ignore.
So, Gajan Ponnambalam may prove prophetic—but only partially. As examples from Afghanistan to the Middle East show, even with an externally shattered state, the majority ethno-religious community, civilisation and culture reassert themselves, often in a more virulent, fanatical and fundamentalist form such as the Taliban and ISIS. The repressed returns, zombielike.
An externally-imposed, as distinct from externally-propelled and supported, solution is unsustainable and counterproductive. A viable, sustainable strategic policy must locate the intersection of the majority and the minority, the external and the internal.
Unsustainable 'Sinhala First'
The Gotabaya presidency seems to think that with the exception of China, and because of that exception, Sri Lanka's relations with others can be (a) on our own terms and (b) on the premise of 'Sri Lanka First' i.e. that Sri Lanka's interests as refracted through the prism of the Sinhala majoritarian self-perception, can be the dominant or determinant factor in all relationships.
It would be wise for the Gotabaya presidency to understand how Jake Sullivan, the Biden-Harris administration's incoming National Security Advisor, perceives the triple threat posed by China, and therefore for the GR regime to weigh the risks of identifying itself with that threat:
"There is China's long-term strategy to dominate the fastest-growing part of the world, to make the global economy adjust to its brand of authoritarian capitalism, and above all to put pressure on free and open economic and political models…" (Sullivan, American Exceptionalism, Reclaimed – The Atlantic)
As Wikileaks revealed, Sullivan, a top staffer of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in May 2009, participated in her discussions on the end-phase of the Sri Lankan war, and the unresolved Tamil issue.
It would puzzle and perturb President Gotabaya Rajapaksa that the incoming Biden administration rejects the thematic slogan and policy paradigm of "America First" while asserting that "America is back!" and aspiring to lead the world once again. The explicit critique and rejection of 'America First' was commenced by Sullivan and Anthony Blinken, the incoming US Secretary of State. On New Year's Day 2019 Blinken wrote a piece in in the Washington Post unambiguously entitled 'America First is only making the world worse. Here's a better approach'.
Sinhala supremacism would see this as a contradiction in terms and fail to understand why 'America First' would not be the ideal basis for strong leadership of the world. Supremacists wouldn't see that even the most powerful nation on earth, the USA, cannot safeguard, still less advance, its national interest on that narcissistic basis.
The Biden-Harris administration's foreign policy team understands two fundamentals. Firstly, that foreign policy focuses upon, has as its subject matter, international relations, i.e., relationships; secondly, that a state however powerful cannot go it alone or only with a few allies, and that a restoration and multiplication of durable networks of allies/partners is both goal and test of a successful foreign policy strategy.
Secondly, it understands as JFK did, that America's relations within its society and what the world sees about them, impact on America's international relations. Trump's 'America First' slogan was a reflection of white majoritarian-supremacism in the USA, as the core of a neo-isolationist unilateralism in the world. It reduced the image and stature of the USA among the world's states and peoples. The ultranationalist, supremacist ethno-religious cultural assertion of another nation, however rich or powerful, makes broad alliances more difficult, unsustainable.
What is true of the world's sole superpower is most certainly true of a small island. You cannot have a successful foreign policy based on the externally repulsive projection of your supremacist domestic identity politics of "race, religion and culture".
Conversely, if the majority of voters think that the national identity and interests will be sold out, as with the UNP government's unpardonably treacherous co-sponsorship of Geneva 2015 (which I was the first to denounce publicly), the electorate will not give such a party of elitist neoliberal-globalism another opportunity of making foreign policy and steering Sri Lanka through the world.
Foreign policy doctrine
The country I was born into was global 'Southernist', 'Western' liberal-democratic and attitudinally internationalist. Among our Foreign Ministers, Lakshman Kadirgamar was the finest representative and symbol of that synthesis. Today, neither the UNP/para-UNP nor the Gotabaya mindset, regards Sri Lanka as belonging to the Global South. Furthermore, the GR paradigm is antagonistic to the "free and open economic and political model" (Sullivan).
The para-UNP imagines Sri Lanka as a state of the USA or the EU. The Gotabaya grouping imagines Sri Lanka is a de-facto protectorate of China and South Asia's Israel.
Both outlooks are irrational, delusional, self-destructive.
Foreign policy is that which provides a framework and guideline for a country's relations, or more correctly interrelations, with others. It must hold in balance the categories of people, nation, state and world, which constitute a parallelogram of forces.
Sri Lanka's enlightened self-interest, as that of the collective interest of our family and home, the Global South, is best served by (I) a democratic world order and (II) global equilibrium, with a basic balance in the Asian arena and the Indian Ocean.
While having our feet planted firmly in the Nonaligned movement and the Nonaligned principles, dating back to their source in Bandung 1955, Sri Lanka must hope that when one side attempts to dominate, the other side can and will restore the balance. We may have to "lean to one side" (Mao), i.e., tilt to that side, and this time around, "call in the New World to redress the balance of the Old" (Canning). Sri Lanka's basic strategy must a 'multi-vector' (Primakov)/'tous azimuths' (De Gaulle) approach of multipolar-balancing.
Jake Sullivan sketches an excellent conceptual synthesis for a foreign policy: "An… ultimately successful foreign policy must cut through Trump's false, dog-whistling choice between globalism and nationalism. It must combine the best kind of patriotism (a shared civic spirit and a clear sense of the national interest) and the best kind of internationalism (a recognition that when your neighbour's house is on fire, you need to grab a bucket). And it should reject the worst kind of nationalism (damn-the-consequences aggression and identity-based hate-mongering) and the worst kind of internationalism (the self-congratulatory insulation of the Davos elite) …Exceptionalism is how you reconcile patriotism with internationalism." (Sullivan, Ibid.)
I was 10 when I first heard The Beatles' 'When I'm Sixty-Four'—and that age seemed unimaginably distant. Today, I turned 64, deriving some modest comfort from, among more precious personal things, the fact that the world-outlook elaborated in my book 'Long War, Cold Peace' (2014), expressed as 'Smart Patriotism' in public lectures and print (2015-2017), and decisively rejected by the Gotabaya camp with its Trump-Netanyahu-Bolsonaro turn (2018), is demonstrably, quintessentially, consonant and congruent with Jake Sullivan's outline of a foreign policy paradigm.

An effective system to verify human identity is a major challenge in most traditional access control systems in developing countries, as it can easily be compromised. From the vulnerability of banking transactions to the multiple registration in most civic identification projects like voters' registration, Payroll System and Pension Scheme underscores the urgent need for an effective system that provide immediate technological solution. This research work presents an Automated Fingerprint Verification System simulating both Minutiae Based Matching and Cross Correlation Coefficient Matching that provides an effective and efficient means of verifying human identity which significantly decreases the possibility of fraud in access control. The method used MATLAB simulation to align the minutiae of the two-fingerprint image (query template) and stored templates (reference template) inputted to find the total number of minutiae matched. After alignment, two minutiae are considered for matching when spatial distance and direction difference between them are not up to a given tolerance. Finally, the templates were further verified with cross correlation algorithm to improve the result accuracy. This approach has better performance as compared to individual matching technique. The result obtained after testing several fingerprints for identification proved to be efficient by verifying correctly the identities of the persons enrolled and achieving a matching score above 80% threshold for Matching Pair and below 80% threshold for Non-Matching Pair.

Do you need to know the newest news about 48v power supply? Do you want to be the very first in line concerning the developments on 48v power supply? Are you itching to get as much as the minute facts?
Bad_+_Good_Luck_Girl! asked What do you need with an SE Electronics 2200A Condenser Microphone ?
I know you need an 'Phantom power 48V+/-4V power supply' How much are they and what other equipment do you need ? I am ordering from andertons.co.uk So preferably links to the merchadise on there would be great! Thanks.
The phantom power for a condenser mike is commonly supplied from a mixer, audio interface or preamp. If you intend to use said microphone for vocal recordings, then you will have to do an update to your whole signal chain. Having a good quality mike when the rest is no good is almost like trying to polish a turd... A high quality vocal performance depends upon (apart from a good performer/singer): - A quality microphone - Pop shield and dedicated shock mount - High quality leads - A good preamp - A high quality audio interface (a regular sound card is not the way to go) - A fast computer with lots of RAM - Quality DAW software (Nuendo, Protools or similar) - Very good monitors and headphones - A good listening environment and good room to do the takes - Top quality outboard or software EQs, compressors and delays This will easily run you several grand. That said, everyone has to start somewhere... So the least you can start with is the mike, pop shield and shock mount, plus a good audio interface. Of course, you will need something to record things to and the free Audacity is OK to test things out. This is more of an audio editor than a recording software though.

My 2 1/2 year old, Logan, recently discovered the fun of shadows. As he was chasing his shadow from room to room one day, laughing hysterically, I knew I had to incorporate shadow play into Tot School Tuesday. I forgot how fun shadows can be to children (and adults too!) and we had a fun morning playing with our new monkey shadow puppets while encouraging counting. Logan surprised me by counting to 20 without assistance. I can't get over how truly they are like little sponges at this age. I'll definitely be encouraging learning through shadow play a lot more!
Cut 10 monkeys out of the cardstock. If you have a Silhouette or Cricut, you can use these machines for cutting. If not, you can look for a free stencil online and cut them out yourself. Glue monkeys to popsicle sticks. Pick a white background or throw a sheet over a couch and a dark room for this activity. Shine the flashlight toward the white background and have your child hold up the monkey shadow puppets in front of the flashlight, casting shadows. Sing the song "10 little monkeys jumping on a bed" during this activity. Encourage your child to count the monkeys and explore shadows.
I love these, we made shadow puppets the other day on a piece of paper on the fridge! He drew around the shape the shadow made!
Oh love that idea!! Thanks for linking up dear!
Hello I really aprreciate this great and interesting post. Thank you for sharing!


Well, today marks off March 1st. From a teacher's perspective, it is known as the longest month of the year. From a writer's perspective, it is known as the editing month.
Yes, l have been writing four days a week and editing two days a week. However, since it's an editing month, l decided to do more editing than writing. I'm still going to write Monday-Thursday, but l'm going to try to edit at least one or two chapters on those days, as well. I'll edit big time on Fridays and Saturdays.
So, even though no one asked (and the above picture basically orders you not to ask) l'll answer the question, anyway (in the editing sense–not writing). I have no idea when this draft will be finished, but l'm hoping by the end of the month.
One reason l want to edit more than write this month is because next month is April. Yes, it's that time of year again…Camp NaNoWriMo! So, l will edit as much as l can, but l want to hold off on the carpel tunnel a little longer so l can get another 50,000 words in of a new novel.
New novel? Apparently l decided to write something new…that's news to me. Well, l have a whole month to decide what to write.
The thing is…April is going to be here before we know it.


The novel follows cold case sleuth Jerzy Shore as he tries to solve the "decades-old death of Midshipman Jeff Resnick whose body is found at the base of the Naval Academy clock tower before the annual Army–Navy football game which is initially ruled an accidental death until an anonymous letter lands" in Jerzy Shore's lap.
"The main character is being bounced around like a pinball. He's got people directing him when he doesn't want to be. He's got a woman who he's not sure is attracted to him and a boss directing him in a path he doesn't want to go. And he's got a man out to kill him," Vercessi said.
Vercessi includes many local landmarks and places in the book including a car crash near the old Confederate soldier statute near the intersection of Washington Street and Prince Street, the Landini Brothers restaurant and the dock at the end of King Street (behind the Torpedo Factory).
Similar to "NCIS Agent Jerzy Shore," he has two other novels "King of the Hill" and "We the People" based in the Washington Metropolitan /Annapolis and New York City areas which are familiar stomping grounds to the Bronx native and long-time Alexandria resident.
"NCIS Agent Jerzy Shore" is available in paperback and ebook through Amazon.com or any on-line bookseller and at any bookstore.
Although the book's title was taken partially from the famous NCIS television shows, Vercessi had thought up the idea for the book one day out of the blue.
"It was just one of those things, what if someone died and the case was never solved." He said.
For research, he read a number of textbooks on forensic science and cold cases but he also interviewed local NCIS agents to get a feel for how they solve cases.
Unlike many writers who outline their plots, he chose to draw out his plot so that it would be easier to tie together all the different variables involved.
He explains that because certain characters only appeared once or twice in the book, sketching the plot made it easier to write the book.
When he's not writing novels, he enjoys reading mysteries by Donald Westlake and Elmore Leonard. He often tries to read the same genre as he is writing or working on to inspire his creativity.
He is also in a writer's group where he can give and receive critiques of his work and other budding writers'. He advises novice writers to "put their stories down on paper," "never talk about your writing" and to "join a writer's group" to gain insight into their writing.
Some of his other hobbies include listening to opera, in particular Italian operas, traveling and collecting art.
Vercessi said the best part of writing is seeing the finish product. "I hope that people will like the character [Jerzy Shore] and they will ask when's the sequel coming out," he said.
Currently, he is working on researching another Jerzy Shore book and working on another novel about a bail bondsman named Charlie Paradise who works out of a mobile office that was previously a lunch wagon. He is also writing a children's book to help families cope with stroke victims and helping an incarcerated person to write a memoir.
Vercessi resides in Alexandria with his wife. After 27 years in the Navy, he retired as a captain. He has a master's degree in mass communications from San Diego State University and a bachelor of arts degree in political science from La Salle College in Philadelphia. He is a member of the Authors Guild, National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

The drawback of this approach is that if you rebuild configure from the released tarball, you don't have the git tree and the version will be a date. Just don't do that.
This is totally inacceptable. Regenerating files like aclocal.m4 and Makefile.in (for automake), configure (for autoconf), and the likes is one of the absolute duties of a software package. Things will break sooner or later if people do not do that. Additionally, generated files must be remakable from the distfile, so do not break this!
When making a release from git, write the "git describe" output into a file. Then, use that file instead of trying to run the git executable if .git/. is not a directory ("test -d .git/."). Do not call git, because, in packages, it's either not installed or/and also undesired.
Couldn't comment on your blog, but felt strongly enough about this I took the effort of writing a full post of my own.

Q: How to feed key-value features (aggregated data) to LSTM? I have the following time-series aggregated input for an LSTM-based model:
x(0): {y(0,0): {a(0,0), b(0,0)}, y(0,1): {a(0,1), b(0,1)}, ..., y(0,n): {a(0,n), b(0,n)}}
x(1): {y(1,0): {a(1,0), b(1,0)}, y(1,1): {a(1,1), b(1,1)}, ..., y(1,n): {a(1,n), b(1,n)}}
...
x(m): {y(m,0): {a(m,0), b(m,0)}, y(m,1): {a(m,1), b(m,1)}, ..., y(m,n): {a(m,n), b(m,n)}}

where x(m) is a timestep, a(m,n) and b(m,n) are features aggregated by the non-temporal sequential key y(m,n) which might be 0...1,000.
Example:
0: {90: {4, 4.2}, 91: {6, 0.2}, 92: {1, 0.4}, 93: {12, 11.2}}
1: {103: {1, 0.2}}
2: {100: {3, 0.1}, 101: {0.4, 4}}

Where 90-93, 103, and 100-101 are aggregation keys.
How can I feed this kind of input to LSTM?
Another approach would be to use non-aggregated data. In that case, I'd get the proper input for LSTM. Example:
Aggregated input:
0: {100: {3, 0.1}, 101: {0.4, 4}}

Original input:
0: 100, 1, 0.05
1: 101, 0.2, 2
2: 100, 1, 0
3: 100, 1, 0.05
4: 101, 0.2, 2

But in that case, the aggregation would be lost, and the whole purpose of aggregation is to minimize the number of steps so that I get 500 timesteps instead of e.g. 40,000, which is impossible to feed to LSTM. If you have any ideas I'd appreciate it.

Austin and Round Rock zoom onto list of America's biggest boomtowns
John Egan
Nov 4, 2021 | 2:26 pm
Austin is No. 17 among American boomtowns.
RoschetzkyIstockPhoto/Getty Images
There's no denying that Austin — and the surrounding areas — are booming. A new study from personal finance website SmartAsset ranks Austin and neighboring Round Rock as two of the nation's top 50 boomtowns.
To come up with its list of boomtowns, SmartAsset evaluated data for 500 of the largest U.S. cities. It looked at growth factors for each city such as five-year population change, average yearly growth in economic output (GDP), five-year change in number of businesses, five-year growth in housing, and August 2021 unemployment rate.
Austin clocks in at No. 17 in the U.S. and No. 3 in Texas. The Capital City saw an 8.03 percent change in population, 16.4 percent change in establishments, and 12.8 percent change in housing growth during the time period studied. On SmartAsset's 100-point boomtown scale, Austin earns a score of 89.51.
Round Rock ties for 25th in the U.S. and takes fourth place in Texas, with an 18.53 percent change in population, 29.9 percent growth in businesses, and 23.15 percent change in housing. In total, Round Rock scores 86.97 points.
Nearby New Braunfels, with a score of 89.82, zooms ahead of Austin and Round Rock in the rankings, tying for No. 14 in the U.S. and ranking No. 2 in Texas. New Braunfels' population skyrocketed 36.03 percent in five years, and the housing rate jumped more than 50 percent.
But it's not just Central Texas that is booming by SmartAsset's measurements. Three other Texas cities broke into the U.S. top 50:
Conroe (Houston metro area), No. 3, tied with Meridian, Idaho. Boomtown score: 97.56. Conroe did not appear in SmartAsset's 2019 boomtown study.
Denton (Dallas-Fort Worth metro area), No. 36. Boomtown score: 83.87. Denton appeared at No. 2 in SmartAsset's 2019 boomtown study.
McKinney (Dallas-Fort Worth metro area), No. 39. Boomtown score: 83.59. McKinney appeared at No. 14 in SmartAsset's 2019 boomtown study.
Four Texas cities dropped out of the boomtown ranking from 2019 to 2021: Frisco, which ranked 13th two years ago; College Station, ranked 16th; Flower Mound, ranked 24th; and Allen, ranked 37th.

Not-so-Lone Star
Texas scores top ranking among best states for dating, says new report
Amber Heckler

Texas was ranked as the fourth best state for single people, according to a report by WalletHub.
Couples, step aside – this Valentine's day is for the unattached. Personal finance website WalletHub released their report of this year's Best and Worst States for Singles, and the Lone Star State claimed the No. 1 spot in two out of six categories. Coming in at No. 4 overall, Texas ranked behind California (No. 1), New York (No. 2), and Florida (No. 3).
The report's findings were determined by comparing dating economics, opportunities, and romance and fun across all 50 states. For date opportunities, the top four overall winners tied for No. 1 in the most restaurants per capita category, while Texas and California also tied for highest number of movie theaters per capita
Other categories in the report include online and mobile dating opportunities, median annual household income, share of single adults, gender balance of singles, and crime rate.
Besides holding a No. 1 spot for most restaurants and movie theaters per capita, Texas received the following rankings in other categories:
9th – Median annual household income (adjusted for cost of living)
17th – Mobile-dating opportunities
23rd – Online-dating opportunities
30th – Percentage of residents 12+ who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19
With the soaring popularity of virtual dating during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, one expert believes it gives people a better understanding of a potential partner before meeting face-to-face.
"People might go into in-person dates with more knowledge about the person and more confidence about who they are," according to Dr. Andrew High, associate professor and Director of Graduate Studies at Pennsylvania State University. "Still, online dating is only one way to meet people, and there are plenty of opportunities to meet people in person."
Individual Texas destinations also ranked highly for singles in another recent report from WalletHub comparing 180 U.S. cities. In that study, Austin earned the No. 7 ranking for single people, with Seattle taking the lead. Houston came in at No. 69, with San Antonio taking No. 83 and Dallas coming close behind at No. 87.
The full report and its methodology can be found at wallethub.com.

Wisconsin Eases, But Does Not Eliminate, the One Day of Rest in Seven Law
By Jonathan Levine and Adam Tuzzo on
Effective July 14, 2015, Wisconsin has made it easier for an employer to comply with Wisconsin Statute 103.85, Wisconsin's "one day of rest in seven" requirement. Under this statute, most factory and mercantile employers must provide their employees with at least 24 consecutive hours of rest for every 7 consecutive days worked. These restrictions do not apply to certain categories of workers, including janitors; security personnel; those employed in the manufacture of butter, cheese or other dairy products, or in the distribution of milk or cream; those who work in canneries or freezers; individuals who are employed in bakeries, flour and feed mills, hotels or restaurants; employees whose duties include no work on Sunday other than caring for live animals or maintaining fires; and workers whose labor is required by an emergency situation that could not reasonably have been anticipated.
Historically, Wisconsin employers needing to schedule work beyond the "one day of rest in seven" requirement had to obtain a temporary waiver from the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development ("DWD"). The waiver request, which expired automatically after six months, had to be signed by the employer and a representative of the employer's workforce. With the passage of 2015 Wisconsin Act 55, effective July 14, 2015, a DWD-issued waiver is no longer required as long as an employee provides a statement "in writing that he or she voluntarily chooses to work without at least 24 consecutive hours of rest in 7 consecutive days." For those employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement with contrary provisions, the amendment does not become effective until the agreement expires or is extended, modified, or renewed, whichever occurs first.
As always, the devil will be in the details. For instance, employers have not met the statute's requirements and are not adequately protected merely by obtaining employees' verbal consent to work beyond the "one day of rest in seven" requirement. The consent must be in writing and voluntarily issued without threat of discipline or reprisal for refusing to agree.
It is also unclear when employers must obtain an employee's written consent and once obtained, how long the written consent remains effective. For instance, the amendment does not clarify whether an employer may obtain the written consent during the seven consecutive-day period or perhaps even after the employee has already worked seven consecutive days. For employees covered by collective bargaining agreements with contrary provisions, what does it mean to extend, modify or renew the agreement? Other potential pitfalls employers should be wary of include hastily drafted, vague, illegible and/or misplaced consent forms.
Employers may continue to lawfully schedule work for up to 12 consecutive days in a two-week period without a written consent, provided employees receive 24 hours of consecutive rest on the first and last day of the two-week period. Wis. Admin. Code Ch. DWD 275.01(1).

The Selected Works of T. S. Spivet
Paperback / Penguin Books
Now a major motion picture directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and starring Kyle Catlett and Helena Bonham Carter.
A boundary-leaping debut tracing a gifted young map maker's attempt to understand the ways of the world.
When twelve-year-old genius cartographer T.S. Spivet receives an unexpected phone call from the Smithsonian announcing he has won the prestigious Baird Award, life as normal-if you consider mapping family dinner table conversation normal-is interrupted and a wild cross-country adventure begins, taking T.S. from his family ranch just north of Divide, Montana, to the museum's hallowed halls.
T.S.'s trip begins at the Copper Top Ranch and the last known place he stands is Washington, D.C., but his journey's movement is far harder to track: How do you map the delicate lessons learned about family and self? How do you depict how it feels to first venture out on your own? Is there a definitive way to communicate the ebbs and tides of heartbreak, loss, loneliness, love? These are the questions that strike at the core of this very special debut.


"I accept this honour conferred by the Makana Municipality with humility and knowledge that together we will live up to Makana's spirit of service to the communities," Zuma said.
He joins former president Nelson Mandela in accepting the award. He added he would visit often in order to enjoy "my freedom".

DDA & Company advises Nutricia, part of world-leading food, beverage and nutrition company Danone, on the acquisition of Real Food Blends
jeanbaptiste
Real Food Blends was founded in 2012 by Julie and Tony Bombacino, who were inspired by their young tube-fed son, AJ, and a belief that we all deserve real food. Armed with determination and their love for AJ, the Bombacinos spent years in research and development to create Real Food Blends, and provide access to 100% real food meals and nutritional variety to people with feeding tubes and their families, at home or on-the-go. Nutricia and Real Food Blends share a deep commitment to bring life-changing and lifesaving, nutrition solutions to people in need, including children and adults with feeding tubes, and their families.
"The Real Food Blends mission is personal for us and for the individuals and families who rely on our products.

"After millions of meals sold, the Real Food Blends portfolio still utilizes simple, real ingredients and 100% real food. We found in Nutricia a trusted, like-minded, and experienced company that will continue to innovate, support and introduce blended meals to nourish people in need."

With this acquisition, Nutricia will build upon what the Bombacinos have achieved in 8 short years and help to grow what makes the Real Food Blends portfolio unique — its accessibility, versatility and use of 100% real food ingredients.
"We are excited to continue to grow the Real Food Blends mission and portfolio, to bring even more unique and nutritious options to children and adults with feeding tubes." said Robert Schnurr, CEO of Nutricia North America.

We are committed to preserving and building on what has made Real Food Blends so valued in the lives of the people who rely on their products, and their families."
Both Julie and Tony Bombacino will remain with the company in their current roles of CEO and President respectively.

Waltons were a Canadian folk rock band, active primarily in the 1990s.[1] The band released three studio albums during their career, and won a Juno Award for Best New Group at the Juno Awards of 1994.[2]
The band was formed in Regina, Saskatchewan in 1987, by vocalist/guitarist Jason Plumb, bassist Keith Nakonechny and drummer David Cooney.[3] The band was originally known as "Neurotic Paperboy", before changing to The Waltons; the name was derived from the fact that Plumb had been given the nickname "Walton" by a bandmate in an earlier musical project, although Plumb sometimes joked that the band hoped to be sued by the producers of the television series The Waltons for the free publicity.[4]
They released two independent demo cassettes, '89 Demonstrations and Demo Sandwich, in 1989 and 1990, before moving to Toronto, Ontario in 1991.[5]
They released their debut album, Lik My Trakter ("like my tractor") independently in 1991.[5] That year, they were nominated for two CFNY-FM CASBY Awards for Most Promising Band and Best Western Canadian Band.[6] They signed to Warner Music Canada, which rereleased Lik My Trakter in 1992.[5] Todd Lumley also joined the band that year, playing keyboards and accordion. The album became their commercial breakthrough, spawning the Top 40 hits "Colder Than You", "In the Meantime" and "The Naked Rain", and won a CASBY Award for Best Debut Album in 1992.[7]
In 1993, the band toured Canada as an opening act for Barenaked Ladies.[7]
In 1994, the band won a Juno Award for Best New Group,[2] as well as a SOCAN Award to mark "In the Meantime" being one of the most-played songs on Canadian radio in the previous year.[8] Also that year they released the Simple Brain EP, which comprised the title track, which the band had written for the film soundtrack Naked in New York, as well as covers of Simon and Garfunkel's "The Boxer" and Weddings Parties Anything's "Under the Clocks".[5]
In 1994, Cooney left the band to pursue other interests, and was replaced by Steve Pitkin for the recording of the band's 1995 album Cock's Crow and by Sean Bryson thereafter.[9]Cock's Crow was produced by Michael Phillip Wojewoda, and included two songs co-written with Spirit of the West's John Mann and Geoffrey Kelly.[10] Wojewoda won the Juno Award for Producer of the Year for his work on the Waltons' song "End of the World" and Ashley MacIsaac's "Beaton's Delight".[11]
In 1998, the band released Empire Hotel.[12] A live album, Liv, was released in 2001,[13] following which the band went on hiatus; after four years of inactivity, during which Plumb recorded the solo album Under & Over, the Waltons formally broke up after headlining a final Canada Day show at Regina's Wascana Centre in 2005.[14]
Plumb subsequently launched the new band Jason Plumb and the Willing, whose albums included Beauty in This World (2007)[15] and Wide Open Music (2009), the latter of which included both new songs and some rerecordings of Waltons songs.[16]
On the 2007 Rheostatics tribute album The Secret Sessions, Plumb appeared with Barenaked Ladies on a live version of "Legal Age Life at Variety Store".

When I tell people I am a naturopath, I am often met with a blank stare, or a comment like "Oh, so you heal people with crystals and stuff, right?". While I was studying, people were usually surprised to find out that naturopaths undergo three to four years of training in anatomy and physiology, pathology and biochemistry, along with nutrition, herbal medicine and other health science subjects. Fish slapping certainly wasn't on the curriculum!
Naturopathy is an umbrella term that includes a wide variety of modalities, so it's not surprising there's confusion surrounding what we do. Some naturopaths, like myself, prefer to use science-based herbal and nutritional medicines combined with dietary and lifestyle changes, while others might incorporate massage, hydrotherapy and homeopathy. Some might prefer to use traditional diagnostic techniques while others refer their clients for specialised pathology testing. Many use a combination of all these things to achieve the best outcomes for their clients.
One thing all naturopaths have in common is our philosophical view of how the body works and how healing occurs.
The main goal of naturopathic treatment is to treat the person as a whole, not just the disease or condition they have. Every person is different, so each treatment plan is tailored to suit the specific needs of the person at that point in time. Naturopaths aim to treat ALL the underlying causes of a health issue – not just put a band-aid over the symptoms – and this can involve dietary changes, lifestyle recommendations and nutritional or herbal medicines.
The human body has an amazing ability to heal itself and restore balance when it is given the right building blocks and tools to do so. My job is to figure out the best way to support your body with its own healing processes and support and guide you along the way.
How can a naturopath help you?

When it come to the notice that marketing emails are landing in to spam folder than it became a death of your marketing or advertisement and the spirit of the business drop down to bottom of the well due to spam checker of mailbox providers. Do You think ? It is big task , how to prevent email from going to spam.
One of the main reasons that it is getting becoming harder to avoid emails going to spam box is that spam filtering has become more rigorous and flawless.
Webmail providers are cracking down harder on spam mails or email campaign . However, the filters aren't well accurate, so sometimes legitimate emails go to spam folder.
This Answer to the question "how to prevent email from going to spam" is slightly Tricky.
we can subscriber engagement plays very important role in email deliver ability.
That's because webmail providers see engagement levels and recipient behavior when determining which emails actually make it to the inbox.
1.5 Double opt-in avoid spam filter banning .
If we see from Data of the month September 2018 report published by www.statista.com global spam volume amount to 53.49% of the total email traffic worldwide.
It because of this spam volume the email sender is required the authentication from DKIM and SPF.
The mailbox provider uses these authentication to confirm the identity of the sender.
If the sender can not be authenticated, mailbox provider will reject the mail and may put it in the spam folder of your email. That How It make your journey , how to prevent email from going to spam, more difficult.
If the sender is not authenticated the chance of the rejection is likely to increase.
It is a method for authenticating Domain through publicly Known cryptographic signature this signature is verified at the end from the DNS record.
So know, if you are having the proper DKIM authentication than your email will not put in spam folder of the reader. It will help you , how to prevent email from going to spam.
So DKIM is authenticate the reputation and identity of the email sender over the internet.
It is used to compare the sender IP indicated in the domain's DNS record with a list of IPs authorize to send email from that domain.
So domain owner authorize on his behalf IPs and subset to send the email using this SPF framework.
The goal is to limit the Spamming activity over the email network or traffic.
We can use various excellent tool available for validating your DKIM and SPF records senders reputation and black list appearance.
All above these tool work on the principle that when you send a test message or type your IP address or domain into the form.
In response to that you will get the result for your domain , problem and proper working and suggestion for proper authentication of DKIM,SPFDMRC record.
it is very important to note that we should set the postmaster to the various mailbox provider so as to be free from spam checker or spam domain problem.
(i) Shared IP address : This type of the IP are used by more than one user so due to multiple use the total frequency , volume increases and as the IP is more warmed up. In this case the control of the reputation of them IP is not possible.
(ii) Dedicated IP address for identification to spam filter: It is used by single user and the reputation of the sender is controllable and if your volume is more than 40000 it should be preferred.
for more specific you should register two different email address for newsletter and marketing.
It can be achieved by regularly sending the email so that per month amounts to 50000. So if you have registered fresh IP address than try to warm it up and show your ideal behavior following all rules. regularly sends the email to your subscribers.
If you sends all 40000 email at once than the receiving server reject them. if you wants to sends 40000 emails in four days than you should start divide your group in four part and start sending 10000 perday . if your bounce rate is higher than 8% and complaint rate exceed 0.25% reduce your sending volume to 5000 emails/day.
Verify that your address not on black list by tools MXtoolbox, DNSBL,Multirbl, RBL Watcher to reduce your bounce rate and trap in spam filter.
this type of Bounce arises due to non existence of the mailbox domain. there is syntax error in email address. it also occur when mail transfer agent or spam filter identified your content as spammy. In such incident you require to raise your email layout and content.
when this type of the bouncing is more than five percent than mailserver blocks the sender IP address. In many case the mailserver sends the delivery error and thus with three digit code. here we are providing you the details of the delivery error codes in common which will surely help you in managing the situation.
512 Domain can not be found. Unknown host.
The Extended SMTP error codes work in three digit combinations. For example, 5.2.1 is a Permanent Error where the receiving email is not accepting messages. The first number is the email message status. The second second numbers pinpoint the exact information about the error.
4 Temporary problem when sending the email. The email server typically will try to send it again till it reaches retry timeout.
5 Permanent or Fatal error. This can be caused by a non existent email address, DNS problem, or your email was blocked by the receiving server.
Below is a list of the Extended SMTP error codes.
above error codes may be handled properly otherwise you may be blocked in to the SPAM filter and your IP will be blocked for ever.
Email campaigns cannot be sent without obtaining permission of receivers of email as this will be violation of the CAN-SPAM Act. So emphasis may be done to obtain the willingness of the receiver during the subscription.
The first rule of email marketing is to get permission to email first. Never try to buy a list of email addresses, or you risk violating the CAN-SPAM Act and may be subject to penalties more than $15000.
To get permission, you'll need an optin form on your site that makes it perfectly clear that your visitors are subscribing to your email list. Download 63-point optin form checklist to make sure your optin form is set up properly on your blog or website.
you should not add manually add emails that you got off of business cards collected at a conference. While you may think that they would appreciate your newsletter, sending emails to them violates the CAN-SPAM Act because they did not give you permission.
Users have subscribed to your emails/ newsletter at your or website. But if a user has created an account or visited your blog , you should ask for permission to send them emails or news letters.
People subscribed you at any other place in writing or in person.
A mailing list was bought or rented from a seller with a good reputation.
Email addresses belong to participants of exhibitions or conferences. This is not a legal mailing list, no matter what sponsors tell you.
You have a list of members of your organization / followers / Facebook fans which, you think, will do. This is not a legal mailing list either. You can use it only if you have received permission to send them emails.
People have subscribed on your website or blog, but you have not emailed them for a while. There is a chance that they have forgotten you, so it's better to start with a request to re-subscribe.
Take a look at the full list of what is considered to be permission to send emails.
Marketers are still debating on the optimal method for users to sign up for emails: single opt-in or double opt-in. Using a single opt-in, you ask a user to fill out a signup form and submit it. Double opt-in, in turn, presupposes that subscribers sign up via your signup form and then get an email with the link they have to click to confirm their willingness to to receive your emails. The second method works better for your email deliverability and inbox placement.
Double opt-in avoid spam filter banning .
There will be no more nonexistent email addresses on the list. Only a real person using a valid email address can confirm the subscription. In case of single opt-in, however, some incorrectly typed email addresses may appear on your mailing list, for example, [email protected] instead of [email protected] Besides, double opt-in method serves a good protection from possible tricks of your competitors. They simply won't be able to enter invalid email addresses to spoil the quality of your mailing list.
Below you can see the example of the confirmation email.
Invalid email addresses on your mailing list can result in high spam placement rate. Mailbox providers are more likely to block your sending IP address if you are ignoring repeated delivery errors and continue to send emails to invalid recipients. It's a sound reason to establish and maintain good mailing list hygiene practices.
Preload a list of email addresses from your computer or import your list directly from cloud services like Google Drive or Evernote. After your list is completely validated, you can download your report as a CSV or XLS file.
Deliverable. This status means that recipients' emails are valid.
Invalid. Email addresses do not exist for one of the reasons that will be detailed in the validation report.
Accept all. These email addresses can't be fully validated. Such emails always return a valid status from some domains. Typically, these domains are trying to protect their legitimate users by telling the sending mail server they will accept the message for a given email address but then discarding the message or sending a bounce message instead.
Disposable. The addresses are created by users to be valid temporarily for the latter to sign up for promotions.The best option will be to delete such addresses as they reduce open rates and harm sender reputation.
Unknown. This status means that recipient's mail server is not responding. It can be a temporary status if destination mail server is too slow or is not working.
Spam traps. These addresses are created by mailbox providers, filtering companies, and anti-spam services to be further spread through the web where they can be parsed. They are used to identify spammers or senders who bought their mailing lists or used illegal practices to collect addresses. Appearance of spam traps on your list is a reason for mailbox providers to filter your email to the spam folder.
Please note: Email validators can't find all spam traps in your list. Therefore, the only hundred percent sure method to protect yourself from spam filter is to make the process of collecting email addresses organic and ethical.

Q: Bug? 2010 Document Sets via Client Model shown as folder I got a frustrating problem: When I create a document set via Client Object Model, the document set is created as intended as far as it concerns the appearance outside the treeview. It's shown as document set with all its properties including being redirected to the document set's homepage.
But, in the treeview, it is listed. Manually created document sets are not listed there, and I cannot figure out why the client object model document set is listed there. Furthermore, clicking the treeview item, it opens the document set as a folder. No document set homepage there.
Has someone got an idea?
Web web = clientContext.Web;
ContentTypeCollection listContentTypes = existingList.ContentTypes;
clientContext.Load(listContentTypes, types => types.Include(type => type.Id, type =>     type.Name, type => type.Parent));
var result = clientContext.LoadQuery(listContentTypes.Where(c => c.Name ==   "mydocsetname"));
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
ContentType targetDocumentSetContentType = result.FirstOrDefault();
ListItemCreationInformation newItemInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation();
newItemInfo.UnderlyingObjectType = FileSystemObjectType.Folder;
newItemInfo.LeafName = documentSetName;
newItemInfo.FolderUrl = rootFolderUrl.ToString() + dir;
ListItem newListItem = existingList.AddItem(newItemInfo);
newListItem["ContentTypeId"] = targetDocumentSetContentType.Id.ToString();
newListItem.Update();
existingList.Update();
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

A: I'd bet that it has to do with the fact that you are "creating" the document set by creating a folder and then changing its content type.  I've run into other problems/inconsistencies with document sets when creating them this way.
There is a static DocumentSet.Create() method that does quite a bit more behind-the-scenes stuff to fully provision and set up a document set.  I've never tried using that method through the client object model, but as it appears by the code you posted that you are using C#, not Javascript, it shouldn't be very difficult.

A: In addition set HTML_x0020_File_x0020_Type property to SharePoint.DocumentSet while creating a Document Set.
The following example demonstrates how to create Document Set using SharePoint 2010 CSOM:
public static void CreateDocumentSet(ClientContext ctx,string listTitle, string docSetName)
{
        var list = ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(listTitle);
        ctx.Load(list.RootFolder);
        ctx.ExecuteQuery();

        var itemInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation();
        itemInfo.UnderlyingObjectType = FileSystemObjectType.Folder;
        itemInfo.LeafName = docSetName;
        itemInfo.FolderUrl = list.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl;
        var item = list.AddItem(itemInfo);
        item["ContentTypeId"] = "0x0120D520";
        item["HTML_x0020_File_x0020_Type"] = "SharePoint.DocumentSet";
        item.Update();
        ctx.ExecuteQuery();
}


On 28 and 29 March civil society activists and academics from all over Europe, including from the Balkans and Black Sea Region gathered at the European Civic Academy in Słubice, at the Collegium Polonicum, an academic institution symbol of the German and Polish reconciliation and of European unity.

Participants discussed together challenges and threats around civic freedoms, smaer campaigns to civil society, attacks on human rights and the rule of law in the context of emerging illiberal democracies and authoritarian governments. They shared academic and practice reflections and studies on the roots and causes of populism and interactions with civil society, the role of « uncivil society », as well challenging pre-conceptions on this topics. The phenomenon of state capture and corporate capture was also addressed. Participants also shared good practices on civil society organisations resilience and legitimacy.

The goal was to run for 60 minutes while stopping at as many checkpoints as possible where each runner would earn raffle tickets for a chance to win a whopping $3,000 in prizes such as new shoes or Thule backpacks. Adidas was on deck providing runners with their latest products to test the shoe's vitality and comfort levels. Fit Fathers hosted a fun checkpoint and had the females give us 15 push ups and the males 25 push ups. Another pit stop was at Gym Source where participants had to clock two minutes on any of the exercise machines.
The energy was vibrant and the socializing was upbeat. We look forward to the next Adventure Run in July. See you there!
