We have around 50+ processes deployed on our local Bonitasoft 7.5.4 server. After I deploy all the processes, if I try to deploy a BDM change, the local H2 instance is throwing Out of Memory error as shown below and after this error, when I try to launch the portal a 500 error is being thrown and the only way to come out of this is to delete the local Bonita database file(bonita_journal.db.h2.db) which deletes all the deployed process. Hence, this has become a deadlock to us.
Any in-sight in to this problem is highly appreciated.
Hay algún error en los "boundary timers" (versión 7.5.4)?
He añadido un "boundary timers" en una tarea por primera vez. He configurado la duración (15 s) y he añadido un "terminate event" como excepción. Sin embargo, la ejecución sigue una vez pasados los 15 segundos.
Puede ser que se trate de un error? Estoy trabajando con la versión 7.5.4.
EDITADO: He instalado el proceso en la versión más nueva y el "boundary timer event" ha funcionado como se correctamente. Hay alguna manera de solucionar este problema sin tener que instalar una nueva versión?

Is there a bug in boundary timer events (version 7.5.4)?
I added a boundary timer event to my process for the first time. I set the duration (15 s) and I set a terminate end event as an exception trasition. However, the flow keeps running after the 15 seconds.
Anyone knows if it's a bug? I'm working with version 7.5.4.
EDITED: I installed the process in the newest version and the boundary timer event worked as expected so it's a version issue. Is there some way to solve it without installing the new version?

How can we configure authorization to instantiate a process via REST API?
In our application, we instantiate the process via REST API. In the process configuration, an actor is set as 'initiator' configured with actor mapping. But these settings does not seem to apply the authorization to instantiate the process and any Bonita user(though not qualifying for the actor mapping filter) belonging to the installed organization was able to instantiate the process.

What Remains of Edith Finch is a collection of strange tales about a family in Washington state. As Edith, you'll explore the colossal Finch house, searching for stories as she explores her family history and tries to figure out why she's the last one in her family left alive. Each story you find lets you experience the life of a new family member on the day of their death, with stories ranging from the distant past to the present day. The gameplay and tone of the stories are as varied as the Finches themselves. The only constants are that each is played from a first-person perspective and that each story ends with that family member's death.

Who Knew the US Army was in the Business of Building Pyramids?
With all of the pyramids around the world, it seems clear that the ancients had an affinity for lasting architecture. They built things to withstand the winds of time. At least, they built certain things to last. Temples, tombs, ceremonial chambers and all kinds of sacred sites litter the landscape all across this planet, each one from an age lost to antiquity. Often, though, what didn't survive alongside these megaliths, was any notion about what they were, why they were built, or how they were built. Sure, scholars are relatively certain that they've deciphered lost texts and cryptic hieroglyphics, and thus believe they have a decent grasp on answers to those questions, but there are many people who don't agree that conventional wisdom in this regard is all that solid.
All this confusion (though either side of the argument will tell you they aren't confused at all), stems from one single aspect of ancient architecture, and that is that we have to guess at their significance. Whether we're on the mark with that guess or not, we will still never know for certain that we're right. These buildings and monuments that were built as long as 5000 years ago (or older, in some cases) are enigmatic shadows of cultures past, but what will happen in another 5000 years?
Will our legacy civilizations be just as perplexed by the purpose and significance of our buildings, should any survive that long? Will they argue amongst themselves about whether we had the technical expertise and engineering prowess to construct the wonders of our ancient time?
Perhaps not. Record keeping is the primary mitigator in this war of attrition. Most of the records we use to study ancient culture and architecture are fragments of texts written in lost languages, and our understanding of their meaning is pieced together through a process of comparison to other better known artefacts. Our records, it could be argued, are much more complete and decipherable than those of ancient cultures. At least they are now, but who's to say what will happen over five millennia or more?
In a strange parallel to the pyramids of old, there are similar structures, built in recent years, with modern technology, and for modern purposes, that might serve as a future analogue to the questions posed above.
In the early 1970's, as a part of the United States Army Safeguard anti-ballistic missile program, the US military built an early-warning detection and defence compound near Grand Forks, North Dakota. The facility, known as the Stanley R. Mickelsen Safeguard Complex, achieved operational status on September 28, 1975, but its lifespan was short lived. It was decommissioned on February 10, 1976, less than a year after it all began.
El Castillo temple at ChichÈn Itz· (on the Yucat·n Peninsula in present-day Mexico), taken during the 1889 expedition of British archeologist Alfred P. Maudslay (1850-1931).
The site consists of the large pyramid shaped building, which was the missile control building and PAR "backscatter radar" station, as well as 100 ICBM-launcher inside some 70 missile silos, and some service buildings. There is a vast underground tunnel network associated with the site, which was flooded following its decommissioning, presumably to discourage unauthorised use.
The SRMSC has sat empty, in the wastes of North Dakota for nearly four decades, unused and untouched. It is a ghost of the cold war and of our government's fear of intercontinental attack by competing world powers, but it lays there, impotent and broken, and when you look at pictures of this vestige of our military past, it's hard to miss the resemblance to certain ancient megalithic sites.
Those similarities, while striking, are superficial, but will the effect such structures have on the imagination of future archaeologists be any different if records of its construction and use don't survive the ages? Can you imagine a group of wide-eyed tourists walking among the monolithic buildings, gazing at the huge pyramid in the distance, wondering why it was built and what it meant to those who used it? Will future curiosity seekers marvel at our advanced understanding of radar technology, electronics, and ballistics? Will some element of their society cling to the notion that we were more – or less – than their own conventional wisdom suggests?
Cultural evolution progresses at a startling rate; in a matter of 300 years, whole language systems can become almost unrecognisable. Iconography becomes distorted and knowledge bases shift between world powers. War, emigration, social and financial collapse, natural disaster, all of these things could change the course of our cultural evolution en-route to unimaginable places in the future, and once our progeny reach their destination, will they recognise what they see behind them, or will they be just as baffled by their past, as we are by ours?
The SRMSC is named after a US Military hero, the former commander of the US Army Air Defense Command, Lieutenant General Stanley R. Mickelsen. He enjoys a certain renown among military historians as the force behind the US air defense artillery's development from an era of guns to an era of missiles. Of all the ways such a man's legacy could have been carried into the future, joining the Mayan chiefs and Egyptian Pharaohs as a historic character forever tied to an enigmatic monument may not have been in the original design plan.

KAILUA-KONA — A tanning salon in Hawaii? Really?
At first glance, this sounds sort of like selling ice cubes to Eskimos, but apparently, Eskimos need ice cubes, and Kona needs a tanning salon. Donna Cavalier recently opened Tiki Tan Salon at 75-5660 Kopiko St. in Kopiko Plaza in Kona. She was helped by her partner, Brian Morris, who provided a lot of the manpower needed to turn a shell space into a truly beautiful and welcoming environment.
I recently caught up with Donna to ask her about her experiences opening her business.
Why a tanning salon, and why here?
People go into business for themselves for a range of reasons. What were those reasons for you?
The other interesting service Tiki Tan provides is an innovative Red Light Treatment product.
An issue of interest to other would-be entrepreneurs and to the business community generally is the experience of going into business here in paradise with its unique challenges. How did that go for Tiki Tan?
It wasn't so easy, it turns out.
But has it been worth it?
You can't get much more positive customer feedback than that, and Tiki Tan's sales since they opened March 14, which have exceeded expectations, demonstrate that. It looks like there's something new under the sun with Tiki Tan Salon in Kona.
Dennis Boyd is the director of the West Hawaii Small Business Development Center. The SBDC Network is funded in part with the U.S. Small Business Administration and the University of Hawaii at Hilo.
Fair skin is the rarest and most beautiful skin on the planet.

The runDisney 5K events offer fun for the entire family! Since these events are not timed, the pressure is off which allows for a lot of fun and smiles. Whether it's your first race, a family event or just fun with your friends, the 5K races are full of Disney magic!
The 5K events are 3.1 miles in length. Everyone ages 5 and older are allowed to participate and no strollers are allowed. All events include character opportunities as well as a cotton t-shirt and finisher's medallion.
Race Course: Begins in the Epcot parking lot, then proceeds into World Showcase. You will continue through all of the countries, then back to Future World and finishing in the Epcot parking lot.
What's Unique: Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend is the largest runDisney event and offers something for everyone! In early January, the weather is (usually) mild and the parks are less crowded.
What's Difficult: With the addition of the Dopey Challenge, this 5K lost some of its "family" appeal in 2014. The course is also the same as Princess, which means there isn't much variety.
What's Unique: With a Princess theme, this race is great for a girls' event! That being said, this race is a great time to get out those fantastic costumes and tutus!
What's Difficult: This race happens the weekend after President's Weekend, which means vacation prices may be higher. The course is also the same as the race in January.
Races Course: Begins in the Epcot parking lot, then proceeds into World Showcase. You will continue through all of the countries, then back to Future World and finishing in the Epcot parking lot.
What's Unique: As the second Star Wars race series, this is sure to bring out even more fans! This is a great race to include the entire family, from the youngest of padawans to the Yodas.
Race Course: The course begins in the Animal Kingdom parking lot. After running around the lot, the course heads into and throughout Animal Kingdom.
What's Unique: A Christmas theme is sure to get you in the holiday spirit! The race also takes you inside Animal Kingdom early in the morning. Stay in the holiday spirit by experiencing Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party during your time in the parks!
What's Difficult: The running path inside Animal Kingdom is a little uneven, which can be hard on your legs. It also occurs just over 14 hours before the Wine & Dine Half Marathon, for those running in both events.
What's Unique: This is a great opportunity to get the whole family to use the force!
What's Difficult: This race occurs just a week after Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend and may be difficult to take kids out of school.
Race Course: The course begins in Disneyland Park, directly in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. The course winds around Disneyland Park, then through the concourse to California Adventure, ending near World of Color.
What's Unique: The course stays entirely inside the two parks! This is extremely unique and keeps the magic alive.
What's Difficult: The dates are changing to Mother's Day weekend, which may include an increase in crowds at the parks.

College football world reacts to passing of Mike Leach
by: Kaitlin Howell
STARKVILLE, Miss. (WJTV) – The college football world and Mississippi leaders are reacting to the death of Mississippi State head football coach Mike Leach. He was 61.
Leach was taken on Sunday from Starkville, Mississippi, to the University of Mississippi
Medical Center in Jackson after suffering a "personal health issue," MSU said.
The Clarion Ledger in Jackson, Mississippi, reported that Leach suffered a heart attack.
"I was in 1st grade when Graham threw the ball to Crabtree against Texas. Thank you for giving me a chance as a 17 year old. From Wazzu, to Mississippi State I will never forget everything you taught me and the relationship we had. I will see you again someday coach," said Mississippi State quarterback Will Rogers.
Mississippi State pioneering football coach Mike Leach dead at 61
"God bless the Leach family, friends, loved ones, team, coaches, students and staff. Everyone he met he had a lasting impression on. Their wasn't a time that called for wisdom that he didn't respond with reason. He was a truly IMPACTFUL person," said Deion Sanders, head football coach of Jackson State University (JSU).
"I truly love Coach Leach and every minute I shared with him. I have been able to work with several of his former players and coaches, and they have told so many amazing stories about the impact he had on their lives. Going back to our years together in the Pac-12, I have always felt tremendous respect and admiration for coach, his unique personality and his innovative mind, and I can't image college football without him. I'm grateful to be part of his final win, hug him and watch him walk off like the winner that he is. I know God is welcoming the pirate home now," said Lane Kiffin, head coach for the Ole Miss football team.
"On behalf of the entire Ole Miss family, we are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Coach Leach. We join the rest of the college football community, the SEC family and the entire state of Mississippi in sharing our condolences with the Leach family and all of the student-athletes, coaches and others that were touched by his spirit. Please join us in keeping them in your thoughts and prayers," said Keith Carter, Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics for the University of Mississippi.
"A true legend to college football. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Leach family and the Mississippi State community," said the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) football team on Twitter.
"The life of Mike Leach touched thousands upon thousands of people through his coaching, leadership teaching and insightful commentary. We will miss Mike. Every conversation with Mike made you think. His humor, depth and point of view continually challenged all of us to think differently and reevaluate our perspectives. His innovative approach to the game contributed to the evolution of college football. We mourn his untimely passing as we offer our support to Mike's wife, Sharon, their children and grandchildren, along with his current and former players, coaching colleagues and the Mississippi State community," said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey.
"Mike Leach was a friend, and we are deeply saddened by his unexpected passing. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Mike over the last several years. I never knew quite where our conversations were going, but they always made me smile. He was an offensive innovator who always did things his way and was admired for it. His teams were well-coached and extremely challenging to defend. They played with poise and toughness, which is a credit to his leadership. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Sharon, their children and the entire Mississippi State family," said Nick Saban, head football coach of the University of Alabama.
Report: JSU to Hire T.C. Taylor as Next Football Head Coach
"My friend Mike Leach… a pioneer, intellectual giant, provocateur and fearless warrior. A great man who impacted so many lives, including my own. Sharon, the entire Leach family, and MSU are in our hearts and prayers. Rest In Peace Mike. You made the world a better place," said John Cohen, the director of Athletics at Auburn University. Cohen was previously the athletic director at Mississippi State.
"Mike Leach transformed college football forever. He was an innovator and a visionary whose authenticity and love for the game helped elevate the sport. He made an immeasurable impact on countless coaches, student-athletes, and fans. We celebrate his legacy, mourn his loss, and send our prayers and condolences to his family and loved ones," said officials from Louisiana State University (LSU).
"I am heartbroken on the passing of Coach Leach. In 1999, he gave a kid out of Snow College in Utah a shot a major college football. He saw something in me when no one else did. Like so many across our sport, I am grateful for Coach Leach's impact on my life both personally and professionally. His offensive philosophy and vision were ahead of his time, and they continue to shape the game today. Off the field, he was one of a kind – an incredible storyteller, a man full of wisdom and someone who always cared about his former players and coaches. I enjoyed our friendship over the years. My deepest condolences go out to Coach Leach's family, his wife Sharon, his kids and grandkids and the entire Mississippi State football program," said Josh Heupel, head football coach at the University of Tennessee.
"Mississippi State lost a great Coach. College football lost an innovator. A lot of young men lost their mentor. Fans lost a content superstar. And many of us lost a friend. I'm heartbroken," said Gov. Tate Reeves (R-Miss.).
"Mike Leach's passing and the outpouring of sorrow, love, and support for him and his family reflects just how beloved he was as Mississippi State's head coach and among football fans all over the country. We'll miss his influential leadership, unforgettable personality, and character defined by sportsmanship. My prayers go out to his family, loved ones, and the Mississippi State community during this time of mourning," said U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.).
"I'm sending my condolences and prayers to the family of Coach Mike Leach," said Congressman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.).
"Haley and I are deeply saddened by the news of the passing of MSU Coach Mike Leach. He will be deeply missed by the MSU community and fans across the country who appreciated his contribution to college football. Please continue to pray for his family and friends," said Congressman Michael Guest (R-Miss.).

It sold well over a million copies, received numerous industry awards, and was praised by critics and players alike. Since then, we've grown from a ragtag bunch of garage devs to an international family of over 400 professionals – working on Arma 3, DayZ, Ylands, Vigor, the Enfusion engine, and various other projects. Our ambition: to make games that act as platforms for people to explore, create, and connect. Visit www.bohemia.net for more information.

#MeetTheBrewer returns this year with our first edition of local brew and community building as we welcome one of our Cherokee Street neighbors, Earthbound Beer.
Earthbound has been a staple brewery in STL since their opening in 2014 and we're happy to bring them by to share their journey. Earthbound has continued to break boundaries with their creative recipes and experimental consistency. Stop by for a night of good energy and entrepreneurship as they share some of their favorite beers to date!
FREE sampling will consist of some of Earthbound's canned brews Meteor IPA, Irish Red, & Blonde. Everything we share will be available for purchase to go.


After that, You're tasked with marketing your Work, showing people that it's worth purchasing and getting the word out.
Although you can find methods that are free to do so, this Marketing aspect is a lot easier said than done. Consider the expenses of building a digital ecommerce website, locating a network of individuals to purchase from you and guest posting on blogs to expand your reach. It takes time and money, and you are bound to burn out yourself in the event that you do not have the tools to go about doing all of this.
What if you had a simple tool for quickly turning Your site or social media station into an online store, while at exactly the exact same time sharing your products already in search of content like yours?
This tool could be Sellfy, and upon first Glance, it has somewhat of a Kickstarter sense for its interface (without the crowdfunding,) where it is possible to create your own storefront on the Sellfy platform, peddle your products to the thousands in the community, while also having the opportunity to post Sell buttons on your own website.
The area Sellfy site is your FAQ section. That is about it, although it helps out for presale questions.
This really is a instrument the Sellfy documentation Only is made up of around 30 or so items. It's easy to hunt, and also you do not need to worry about getting overwhelmed.
The only way to get the support team right Is through an email form. You can get pushed to the front of the line with a program that is paid, although so, no phone service.
Here's another reason Sellfy is better than simply Placing a PayPal button. Rather than handling a MailChimp accounts, Sellfy provides you custom purchase emails which send out.
Okay, some of those other features come into play if You're contemplating a straightforward PayPal button on your site. Basically, you can create discount codes for all your products right in the Sellfy dashboard.
Offering free products is an option, and you can Even create when your webpage is shared by folks, discount codes to give out.
I see the benefit of moving with Sellfy as the Fact which you can find a storefront up and running in minutes. You do not need to worry about designing your own website, and you can upload 2GB per file and use bandwidth. Simply speaking, you can forget about hosting.
And being a proponent of automating many Procedures as you can, I have always loved Zapier. Sellfy also includes a Zapier integration now and also streamlines the advertising process.
Stripe and payPal are the options you have when selling on Sellfy. They cut out some people who aren't permitted to use these options, although these are the two most frequent payment processors. The integration functions seamlessly, but we'd love to see offerings.
Aside from that, Sellfy allows for Payouts, client invoices , global taxes and currencies, EU VAT reports and multiple currencies. They supply webhooks that allow users to add custom functionalities.
Basic — Pay $9 per month for many attributes. You can use PayPal/Stripe using a transaction fee.
There possess a free day trial. I Newbies can begin with the Basic plan for cheap, although personally prefer not to have to cover transaction fees. But I wonder if most folks might be better off using a solution.
Sellfy seems to work best for sellers with large Libraries who want the tools for ignoring, PDF stamping and analytics. Additionally, you increase the amount Via the Sellfy network.

Small cities like Duncan, B.C., steward great artists
By Mike Robinson on June 30, 2019 No Comment
Reflecting on Canadian culture at the Dog House Restaurant and small businesses dedicated to local artisans

As cities go, Duncan, B.C., is pretty small. In fact, it's the smallest city by area (2.07 square km) in Canada. In 2016, it had 4,994 citizens.
It was incorporated in 1912, as the star of Vancouver Island's Cowichan Valley, an agricultural, mining and logging centre first visited by Vancouver Island Gov. James Douglas and 100 chosen English settlers in May 1862.
Already home to the Cowichan First Nation for thousands of years, it achieved secondary fame in 1886 when the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway was constructed through what would become the town centre, effectively completing the trans-Canada railway system.
The first train carried Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald and coal baron Robert Dunsmuir to what was then called Duncan's Crossing, named after the first mayor, William Duncan, whose farm was close by.
I'd never stopped in Duncan until recently, when I drove my wife there on a consulting assignment and consequently had a day to myself.
The old core of Duncan is divided by the E and N tracks, and beside them sits the old railway station. A prominent sign announces that it's now the Cowichan Valley Museum.
I parked beside it and went in to greetings from a smiling young woman behind the front counter. She was brimming with enthusiasm for her work.
I was told entry was by donation and invited to start my self-guided tour. In I went after popping $5 into a jam jar. A series of wonderful text and photo exhibitions detailed Duncan's social history, including some inevitable harsh episodes in the lives of the Indigenous Cowichan Coast Salish, and the Chinese, Japanese, Sikh and English settlers in the area.
As I exited the galleries, the young curator appeared to answer any questions I might have. Was I interested in art galleries or Cowichan sweaters or a totem pole tour?
"Yes – I've time to see them all!"
Directions were given and off I went.
My first port of call was Judy Hill Gallery, a 30-year-old business dedicated to Cowichan art, and particularly superb knit products from local artists.
Here I learned how Hudson's Bay wool point blankets from Gloucestershire drove Salish woven blankets from the settler marketplace in the early 1900s. In response, the Cowichan weavers learned how to knit. From this new skill came the famous Cowichan sweaters, mitts and toques, which now hold a strong niche in the local and provincial tourism markets. A large selection were available at the gallery, along with carefully-chosen scholarly articles and books explaining northwest coast weaving and knitting art forms.
After half an hour at Judy Hill Gallery and carrying a few choice purchases, I went next door to the E.J. Hughes Gallery, which is dedicated to selling beautiful reproductions of the famous Canadian realist's oil and water colour landscapes of southern Vancouver Island.
Once again I was in a small business dedicated to a local artist with extraordinary talent. Hughes (1913 to 2007) was discovered and popularized by the Group of Seven's Frederick Varley and Lawren Harris. His career didn't really take off in commercial terms until he was in his 80s, when his oil paintings started achieving sales prices in the hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction. In November 2018, his Fish Boats, Rivers Inlet fetched $2 million at auction in Toronto.
The E.J. Hughes Gallery sells framed and unframed prints, starting from $50, and pays duties to his estate. They are popularizing the work of arguably B.C.'s second most famous resident artist (after Emily Carr), in a way he never achieved until he was into his final decade of life.
He lived in a modest stucco house in Duncan from 1974 until his death in 2007 and was semi-reclusive. He never went to an opening of any exhibition of his work.

I did learn, however, from the E.J. Hughes Gallery staff, where he ate lunch every day: 271 Trans-Canada Highway, the Dog House Restaurant. And off I went.
I was welcomed at the Dog House by a friendly server who asked where I wanted to sit.
"Where E.J. Hughes used to eat lunch," I said.
"You mean booth 23 on the west wall. Follow me, please."
"What was his favourite lunch?" I inquired.
"Three-egg omelette."
That's what I ordered. It was delightful.
Just like Duncan.

After all the deliberations and speculations, finally, India's World Cup squad has been announced. The Committee of Administrators along with office bearers had decided on the date during a meeting last week.
However, BCCI chief selector Prasad has made it clear that wicketkeeper-batsman Karthik will not automatically start in the playing XI in the upcoming World Cup and will only get a chance when Dhoni gets injured. India is heading to the World Cup as the 2nd ranked ODI team in the world behind hosts England.
The selectors have also opted to go with all-rounders Vijay Shankar and Hardik Pandya alongside Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami in a pace-heavy bowling attack. With IPL 2019 already creating a buzz, the biggest announcement about ICC World Cup 2019 Team India squad is out.
Experts maintain that the selectors will have to brainstorm a lot over the selection of the second wicketkeeper as both Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik are worthy candidates for this slot.
"That is the only reason why we went ahead with DK otherwise Pant was nearly there", he added. "That's the reason we went with Dinesh Karthik", after a brief selection meeting which also included Indian captain Virat Kohli at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai on Monday afternoon.
As reported by PTI earlier, Prasad confirmed that Shankar is being seen as a potential number four candidate along with Rahul and Kedar Jadhav. The squad also consists of two wrist spinners - Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav. Dinesh Karthik was picked in the team which seems to be a correct call at the moment. The national team will leave for London on April 23 to play one-off T20I and five ODIs against England ahead of the World Cup.

Two photos, each showing conciliation, right? Think again.
The top image, Sunday's message from the Tahrir Square and the people's uprising, offers a moving demonstration of Coptic Christians and Muslims merging central religious symbols, the bible, the cross and the Koran, standing united against the government.
In the bottom photo, in contrast, we have the Government on this American Super Sunday gaining traction now in blunting the uprising (as well as confusing, and at-least partly pacifying Western governments) by making a show of negotiations. What's so brilliant here is how the sidelined Coach Mubarak — by way of his quarterback, Vice-President Suleiman — is simultaneously using a regal and highly-official looking, though completely informal and unofficial sit down with the Muslim Brotherhood (the trapping make it look like a summit!) to feign good faith negotiations, while simultaneously stoking fears in the West about an Islamic take-over AND raising the visibility of the Brotherhood to drive a wedge between those good Christians and Muslims we see in the Square.
As BagNews friend and contributing photographer, David Degner, tweeted from Cairo this morning.
My neighborhood ful stand returned this morning. Things might be returning to normal, that is good, and bad.
You notice the-supposedly absent President Mubarak regally and centrally framed in the distance? If the Egyptian playing field is looking neater today, I'd say the prospects for a populist win is getting uglier.


Shipping a car all the way to Laos from the United States through a practiced transport company is the only way to ensure your car's legal and safe delivery. Fulfilling foreign law for importation is very confusing without help, particularly as a former citizen of the U.S.
The regulations of other countries are confusing and difficult to understand. For an explanation of the import laws associated with foreign vehicles entering the country, call the Embassy of Laos. With reputable shipping professionals delivering your car and more knowledge of the import laws, the stress of shipping your car is instantly relieved.
To ship a car to the country safely, it's important that the right shipping services are purchased. Although there are only two affordable and proven shipping methods to choose from, each of them transports vehicles in a different manner. Know how each transport method and shipping service operates before you agree to any services.
The least expensive and most preferred method of international auto transport is RO/RO shipping. This open air transport method is often used by dealerships and manufacturers who have multiple vehicles delivered to one location. Due to the lack of shelter provided, this shipping service isn't preferred by all customers. Other than its low price tag, this service comes with free insurance coverage only making this cheaper option more appealing to many.
To keep your vehicle safe from outdoor elements along its voyage, container shipping is a great choice. This transport method comes at a slightly higher cost but safeguards the car inside durable metal walls. The shipping containers come in several sizes. Each one is priced differently, but customer service will help you with size selection after you provide them with some details. This form of transport isn't just designed for the delivery of vehicles, but your household belongings too. Carefully stuff your vehicle and the remaining container room with any goods you would like to bring. All items must comply with the import policy before you ship the car to Laos along with your belongings.

Q: Flutter Firebase local change doesn't update listener stream I'm relying on Firebase Firestore offline capabilities, so I'm not using await on my queries as stated on the Access Data Offline Firebase doc. I'm expecting that when I write something I'll get an immediate reflection on my read stream, however, I'm only getting an update when the server/remote has been updated. Basically:

*

*Update something in the DB. Note, I'm not using await
 _db.doc(parentDoc).collection(DocInnerCollection).doc(childDoc).update({
        "name": value,
      });

*I expect my listeners to be updated immediately. Note I've set the includeMetadataChanges to true as stated in the above doc.

_db.doc(parentDoc)
    .collection(DocInnerCollection)
    .orderBy('start_date', 'desc')
    .limitToLast(1)
    .snapshots(includeMetadataChanges: true)
    .map((snapshot) {
  print(snapshot.metadata.isFromCache)
});

However, I get no such update and instead I only get an update when the server has been updated.

A: You're requesting only one document with .limitToLast(1), yet are not providing a sort order for your query. This essentially means that you'll get a random document from your collection, and the chances of that being the newly updated document are close to zero.
If you want the latest (not just last) document, you need some ordering criteria to determine what latest means. Typically you'd do this by:

*

*Adding a lastUpdated field to your documents, and setting that to firebase.firestore.FieldValue.serverTimestamp().

*Ordering your query on that timestamp with orderBy('lastUpdated', 'desc').

*And then limiting to the first result with limit(1).

HOW DOES THE SIHR (MAGIC) OF LETHARGY TAKE PLACE?
Someone goes to the practitioner of the dark illusion and tells him about the person whom he wants to bewitch. The Witch would ask for the name of the victim, the victim's mother's name, and also traces of the victim's smell, stuff that might've touched his/her skin and/or sweat – like the hair sample of the victim, piece of clothing, tissue, nails that have been cut off etc. If obtaining the above is too difficult, the practitioner would execute Sihr/bewitch on small amount of water, afterwards ask the patron to spill it along the way which that person normally passes by. If somehow the victim passes the by the place where the charmed water has been placed for him to step on, the charm will start it's affect on the victim. The patron can even bring into play that cursed water and/or food to be further added to the victim's food and/or drink.
Nevertheless, if the practitioner of the dark illusion is made available with nail bits and/or clothing, he will then utilize them in outlining a CHARM, to combine a jinn for that precise purpose. Afterwards he will tie knots surrounding that charm and inform the patron to conceal it in an abandoned situation, a place where nobody can come across it, or even dig it out. And whenever it's taken out or freed, it also frees the jinn of his purpose and he is free to do whatever he wants according to his will.
At the time the Jinn is certain of the victim's traces, he is coached by the sahir to reconcile in the victim's mind and make him want to stay lonesome.


I was so excited to see another healthy dessert book on the market recently and this time by the lovely Daisy Lowe. She says " I want women to stop feeling guilty about what they eat!" Yes please !!
So, I did a little bit of research first and found one of her recipes here and was happy to see she was using the ingredients that I have been dabbling with recently - coconut oil, xylitol etc. So essentially, no gluten, dairy or sugar.
I was really excited to receive the book and it seems trivial but I LOVE the feel of the book. It has padded thick covers and it's a really nice size, not too big, really touchy feely. Anyone else love that about books ? The design is also gorgeous. Full of really beautiful photography, and of course stunning pictures of Daisy herself.
The beginning of the book details a little about all the ingredients she uses which is super helpful for people just discovering these and a handy key so you know whether a recipe is gluten free or dairy free etc.
I always start by flicking through a recipe book the whole way through to see what jumps out at me. Quite a few did - so much so that I have already made the banana cinnamon muffins and the chocolate truffles.
so well ! Absolutely delicious and the most 'muffin like' recipe I have come across yet. Delish !!
And the truffles - also amazing !! A similar texture to Nakd bars (although I think I need a better blender to make them super smooth), really delicious and totally hit the chocolate craving spot !
I just have to decide what to make next - there are some delicious ice cream recipes, an amazing looking lemon cheesecake and much much more !
I really recommend this book to anyone who has a sweet tooth but is looking for healthier alternatives !!
You can buy the book here. Such a bargain too !
I hope this helps if you were thinking of buying this book !
