It's been a while since this post was accidentally deleted due to some very bad circumstances.
I must admit, that there was no current backup for this post, so a restoration was not possible.
Basically this topic was just a follow-up to a previous post updated for VMware Server 2.0 on Debian.
In the meantime, VMware has released ESXi vor free as well, so using VMware Server maybe superseeded by choosing ESXi.
As a sidenode also consider the post at the Ubuntu forums. There's a short howto and a script available, which eases installation procedures. Supposedly, this could be easily adapted for Debian, as both Distros share very common roots.
This article has been obsoleted by the final release of VMware Server 1.0.
It is left here as a reference only.
Following up to my previous post on disabling debugging im VMware Server Beta I played around with altering the virtual machine vmx configuration files directly.
One thing I noticed when test driving VMware Server beta was the performance drop compared to the more mature ESX and GSX versions.
Of course there is nothing wrong about that considering the product still being in beta stage. It is however very hard to get an idea of the speed to be expected by the final product.
The initial version of this article was written in spring 2006 to cover installing VMware Server on Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge).
In the meanwhile, Debian 4.0 (etch) has been released, making it worth to review the procedure with the current VMware Server and Debian releases.

WHERE IS THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY?
The Texas Hill Country is a general geographical region in central Texas that occupies 25 counties. By urban landmarks it is located roughly west of Austin and north of San Antonio, buffering both cities. The area boasts dramatic hills, scenic rivers, rugged ravines and quaint towns. The area is highly agricultural, yet offers state of the art museums, music venues, art galleries, shopping and wineries. The restaurants offer high class fine dining to down home country vittles, all of which are delicious.
WINE, IN THE HILL COUNTRY, REALLY?
Yes, really! The Hill Country grape growing area or officially the Hill Country AVA (American Viticultural Area) is the second largest in the nation. As of this publication there are 67+ wineries in the Hill Country and that number continues to increase.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GROW IN TEXAS?
White Varietals; Chardonnay, Blanc du Bois, Pinot Grigio, Viognier, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Orange Muscat, Muscat Blanc, Muscat Canelli, Gewurztraminer, Sémillon.
There are additional varietals that vintners and universities are experimenting with to continue to expand Texas' grape growing repertoire. Additionally, there are some native varietals that provide exceptional root stock which are disease resistant and perfectly adapted to withstand Texas weather.
WHO BUYS HILL COUNTRY WINE?
According to Texas Tech University's Texas Wine Marketing Research Institute, in 2015, 1.8 +/- Million cases of wine were produced in Texas. That number continues to increase each year. The primary consumers of wine in the Hill Country are women over 50 who have come to Fredericksburg to shop and drink wine!
OK, BUT IS IT ANY GOOD?
Texas wineries have been entering tastings and competitions for the past 20 years, and now they are winning. According to Cravedfw, a publication out of Dallas, a blind tasting of viognier was held between classic California and French viognier producers and Texas producers. The top 6 winners were Texas producers, including Pedernales Cellars in first place and Becker Vineyard in third, both from the Hill Country. Not to mention the plethora of competitions that individual wineries enter and walk away with medals, including the San Antonio Wine Fest, where Becker, Fall Creek, Grape Creek, Sister Creek, Torre di Pietra, and William Chris wineries all won silver and bronze medals against California, Italy and other international competitors.
WHERE DO I FIND MORE INFORMATION ON HILL COUNTRY WINE?
Any individual website for a Hill Country Winery.


The Rubi, brought to you by Kandypens is a vaporizer that offer vapor quality, stealthiness and convenience at an affordable price. At just four inches tall this pod based vaporizer is designed to be carried in any pocket. The OCELL Ceramic Coil Technology extracts full-flavored clouds from your favorite e-liquids and oils while maintaining smoothness and potency, while a temperature regulated battery maintains the ideal temperature for liquid and oil vaporization.
The Rubi uses an air activated heating system instead of the usual button system to provide a seamless user experience, simply inhale using the Rubi and it will do the rest in an instant.
With a lot of other vaporizers you are limited to pre filled cartridges, with the Rubi you can refill your pod with 1ml of liquid. Each Rubi comes with a leak proof design with no spill back from the mouthpiece. The pod itself is very easy to refill and once it is refilled you can snap it back into place and it is instantly ready to use. Also unlike pre filled pods this one does not limit you to the liquids provided by the manufacturer.
The battery used in the Rubi is a 280mAh with a very quick recharge time, roughly 30 minutes and can be used for 1-2 hours or roughly 250 puffs. You can charge the Rubi using a universal micro USB charger, one is supplied with the Rubi. The battery, like the heating system, is air activated so the user doesn't have to power it down after each use. An 8-second auto-shutoff feature will turn the unit off to conserve battery when not in use.

New user question - Best Library/Events/Project structure for YouTube channel?
TOPIC: New user question - Best Library/Events/Project structure for YouTube channel?
New guy here. I bought FCPX to edit videos for for a YouTube channel and I am looking for the best way to structure my Library/Event/Project order.
Or should I make a separate Library for each video I make for YouTube?
I would also have the need to insert common elements such as intro/outro titles, lower thirds, etc.
Just looking for best practices that makes the most sense. Any advice is appreciated.
Use the structure you have, one Library, and Event for each individual video project. Plus use Keyword collections for things like footage from specific cameras, or of specific talents, etc, as needed.
Common elements you'd put in an Event called Stock Media or Common Elements or whatever you want to call it.
That's how we do episodic shows at our TV station. One Library for each season of a show, one Event for each episode.. All those Libraries on one Folder on the Hard Drive.
Last Edit: 24 Dec 2018 16:00 by FCPX.guru.
Terrific, thank you very much. I know there is no "wrong" way to do it, but I just wanted to take a logical approach.
I do an individual Library for each video. However what I do is create a -Template library (I create the name with a - so it's always at the top of the folder and easy to locate). In this Template Library are common elements like the intro, sound effects, other graphics elements, etc. Some of them are already on a Timeline so I don't have to do that each time. Then for each new video I DUPLICATE that Template (command + D in the Finder). Then I rename it and number it. Then I open that, name the Event and Project etc and then begin importing all of the new individual assets for that single video.
The reason I do it this way is because a single Library would get impossibly huge since each episode is close to half an hour with TONS of assets for each. Some episodes have Libraries as big as 600GB and that's after all render files and event-generated stuffs have been deleted after it's done.

Any advice is appreciated.
There is no single approach, no rigid recommend practice. It is important to grasp that FCPX is database-like, and you need to think in those terms. Don't think of hierarchical folders -- think of Google.
From a performance standpoint you could hypothetically put everything in one event and organize it with keywords. I'm not recommending this, but it's important to know it's not a limit. On a 2015 iMac I once used a single event containing 7,000 clips (160 hours) of mixed 1080p and 4k H264 material, totaling 5 terabytes, with media on a Thunderbolt 2 array. The 1080p content could be edited smoothly using camera-native H264. However the 4k material required transcoding to proxy for smooth performance.
In a sense, the event is simply a classification tag which could also be performed by a keyword or smart collection. As physically implemented, the event exists as a separate folder inside the library with the media content (or symlinks to that content) physically inside the folder. But that is an implementation detail. E.g, in GMail the folders aren't really folders but database tags which appear as folders. A future version of FCPX could change the internal implementation of events to database tags and you'd never know the difference.
Nonetheless Events can be useful. I mainly caution people against over-using events or thinking they are mandatory because they seem like the familiar bins from other editing programs. Events are simply one of several organizational tools in FCPX.
We now have smart collections and keyword collections which can span an entire library, so even if using multiple events it can all be searched. To make a library wide keyword collection, create a library smart collection, select the keywords you want and save that query.
(2) If you have multiple cameras or recorders, before import place that media in unique folder names. E.g, JoeGH5, KevinA7R3, TomZoomF8. Then upon import use the FCPX preference "Assign Keywords from Folder". If you now or later end up having multiple cameras using the same codec with similar filename, this helps you tell them apart after import.
(3) Decide whether you will import using "leave files in place", or copy the media to the library.
(5) Before you shoot anything *always* check the time of day clock on all cameras and recorders. If this is off it makes managing the content more difficult.
(6) Do not over-organize the material -- use FCPX features only where needed. E.g, if it's a wedding, why keyword the ceremony vs reception? They take place at different times and will always be chronologically separate.
(7) After import use FCPX range-based rejects to flag all useless or low-quality content. Then use the Viewer in "hide rejects" mode. This de-clutters the Event Browser.
(8. Ponder the fact that FCPX uses *range*-based (not just clip-based) keywording and rating. You can have multiple overlapping keyworded ranges.
(9) If you have multicam material, do not rate or keyword the parent or constituent clips. Those are not carried forward to the multicam. Rather create and sync the multicam clip, then reject the parent clips to avoid accidentally using them, then rate and keyword the MC clip itself while using the Angle Viewer.
(11) In general get used to working in the Event Browser and spending time rating, tagging material, not copying a bunch of stuff to a timeline and trying to organize it there. If you want small mini-timelines of clip sequences, you can create compound clips within the Event Browser. Unlike projects, those can be skimmed.
Well depending on how long your seasons are and what your assets are like, it may be different for you. 35 episodes would mean a single Library way over 10 TB for me (at the minimum). I need to split that up. For what I do, there is no advantage of keeping everything in a single library.
Last Edit: 27 Dec 2018 21:30 by Redifer.
That's what she said. Or at least I wish it were!
... For what I do, there is no advantage of keeping everything in a single library.
Good point. That is a key question people should be asking. Does keeping everything in one library provide an advantage? OTOH will breaking things up between libraries cause a disadvantage, now or in the future? Does spreading the content across multiple events within a library help me in some way? Will having everything in one event cause problems?
These are all related to how FCPX will later be used to query the data. The problem is people new to FCPX often make organizational decisions without having a clear idea of how FCPX rating, keywording, smart collections and queries work (or don't work).
As in your case, if you won't need to query the media as a whole, why cram it all into one library. If later an un-envisioned need arises, you can mount both libraries and copy clips between them. If a greater need arises, the two libraries can be merged into separate events in a single library.
In many cases FCPX will either use symlinks (for "in place" media") or hard links, provided all media is on the same disk volume. So it can actually be relatively efficient and fast.

Q: Determining whether $g(n)$ is $O(f(n))$ I have two functions $f(n) = {(\log2) \over 100}n$ and $g(n) = 100\log(n)$. I am determining whether $f(n)$ is $\Omega(g(n))$, or equivalently, whether $g(n)$ is $O(f(n))$. To determine the latter, I am using L'Hôpital's rule on the expression $g(n)/f(n)$ to see whether $\lim_{x\to\infty} g(n)/f(n) = 0$, as this implies that for large values of $n$, $f(n)$ grows faster than $g(n)$.
Applying L'Hôpital's rule I have:
$\lim_{x\to\infty} g(n)/f(n) = \infty/\infty∞$, which is of indeterminate form
$\lim_{x\to\infty} g'(n)/f'(n) = {{(\log2) \over 100}\over100{1 \over n}} = {{(\log2) \over 100} \over 0}$, which is undefined.
Since $\lim_{x\to\infty} g'(n)/f'(n)$ is not defined, does this mean that $g(n)$ is not $O(f(n))$, and hence, $f(n)$ is not $\Omega(g(n))$?

@DrKingSchultz Doc...When a DOOR closes...Open It Again...Thats How Doors work!!
I know you will bounce back...I know your perseverance!! You have to comprehend ,the depth of your losses,to know HOW HIGH YOU HAVE TO RISE!!
Why only 500 ppl from UR when total seats are 610? Why the remaining 110 are in reserve list?
the conclusion to the answer of this question is for general candidates less than 40% (or even 30%) seats are actually available. Most of the pie is taken by OBC.
Congratulations to all who made it and those who could not - remember, in this exam there is nothing called "Out" or "Over", No time to mourn, Pre is just 17 days away.. Move on and rock on!
how do you know only 500 are from UR?
Because there are 110 people from reserved category cleared in open category.
Another list will come for some general seats though it will be less than 110.
Arey maharaj, rank b toh bataiye. Waise Mubarak ho aapko.
@DrKingSchultz Even I did not make it. Looks like there is another bout left with UPSC both for you and me.
Hindi medium ki koi khabar batao bhaiyon??!!!!!
Pub Ad ka kaisa performance hai ? Any idea ?
I know a guy who is in IRS CE and he has been unsuccessfully trying for IAS for the past 3 years. This is the curse of UPSC that even after getting a good service you wont feel satisfied so people, please always remember this is just an exam.
What was the cutoff for the prelims? How to find that?

Le 6,35 Browning est une munition du début du  utilisée dans des pistolets automatiques de très faible encombrement dont la balle présente un diamètre de . Cette cartouche est également connue sous la dénomination anglo-saxonne de «  » ou encore « .25 Auto » (0,25  correspond au diamètre de la balle exprimé en pouces).

Historique
Selon un adage de la fin du , une arme de poche de petit gabarit munie d'une munition 6,35 « sert uniquement à rassurer son possesseur, mais n'a qu'une utilité réduite, voire une efficacité inexistante ».

La munition aurait été créée par l'Américain John Moses Browning en 1903, d'où son nom « 6.35 Browning », alors que l'arme qui la tire n'est sortie qu'en 1906, soit trois ans plus tard. John Moses Browning n'aurait fait que rajouter une gorge pour la griffe d'éjecteur sur une munition déjà existante (Pickert) et aurait fait breveter cette munition pour son pistolet automatique.

Le 6,35 Browning découle de plusieurs ancêtres sortis dès 1885, tels que le 25 Steven. En effet, nombre de revolvers anciens (antérieurs à 1900) ont été chambrés en 6,35 et ne sont pas en 6,35 Browning.

Par ailleurs, la 6,35 Browning étant plus répandue au début du  et étant utilisable et interchangeable en remplacement de munitions désuètes tombées dans l'oubli ou en péremption, il est rentré dans la croyance que 6,35 = 6,35 Browning, ceci prêtant à confusion dans les expertises d'armes anciennes au point que certains armuriers classent par erreur certaines armes en modèles « post 1900 » par méconnaissance.

Lors de sa création, John M.Browning est parti d'une base solide de son expérience de conception et réalisation en armurerie.
La 6,35 a été conçue pour avoir la même puissance qu'une .32 Smith & Wesson et l'encombrement d'une , tous deux des calibres très populaires.

À longueur de canon égale, la 6,35 est plus puissante qu'une .22 Long Rifle standard, la .22 LR dépasse en puissance la 6,35 quand celle-ci est tirée dans une carabine.

Il était important pour John M. Browning de fiabiliser sa munition avec une percussion centrale afin de garantir un cycle fiable du réarmement d'un pistolet.

Étant une munition de transition avec un étui à demi-bourrelet, elle a été employée massivement dès sa sortie jusqu'à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale dans des pistolets et des revolvers de type bulldog et velodog.

Ces types d'armes étant compacts et discrets, elles étaient appréciées pour la défense personnelle, les policiers en civil et l'état-major des armées.

John M. Browning a conçu la munition avec assez de puissance pour abattre un homme en plus (hémorragie) ou moins (organe vital) de temps.

À la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la munition 6,35 a perdu de son attrait, cannibalisée par sa grande sœur 7.65 court ou .32 ACP plus puissante et pas toujours plus chère et la  plus économique, moins contraignante administrativement.

Usage
La puissance de la munition de  est particulièrement faible. Développant moins d'énergie qu'une , elle présente un diamètre plus important, ce qui lui vaut des capacités de perforation très faibles. Son pouvoir vulnérant et surtout son pouvoir d'arrêt sont très réduits.

Cependant, cette munition est conçue pour neutraliser un assaillant. Si la puissance d'arrêt est très réduite, les dégâts subis par la cible dépendent essentiellement de la zone d'impact, comme pour toutes les munitions de petit calibre à vitesse modérée. Cela implique qu'une seule balle peut être mortelle, si elle atteint une zone vulnérable. En effet, l'énergie dégagée est de l'ordre de  et la vitesse en sortie de canon atteint .

C'est le pistolet automatique Browning modèle 1906 qui a rendu cette cartouche assez populaire au cours de la première moitié du . Cette arme a été copiée dans le monde entier, propageant ainsi la munition qui lui correspondait. De dimension très réduite, le Browning modèle 1906 et ses nombreux avatars sont des pistolets « de poche » ou « de dame » car facilement dissimulables. Jusqu'à la fin des , il était courant, en France, de porter une arme de défense.

À la suite de l'augmentation récente de la demande pour des armes de faible taille, légères, faciles à dissimuler et à utiliser, les armes de calibre 6,35, dont la fabrication était proche de l'abandon il y a quelques années, connaissent un regain d'intérêt. Les marques CZ et Beretta, entre autres, en proposent dans leur catalogue.

Comparaison avec la munition .22 Long Rifle
D'un point de vue balistique, la forme et la matière des projectiles sont les suivantes :
 la .22 LR est une balle en plomb, parfois cuivrée, caractérisée par une forte déformation et par une faible pénétration. La .22 est beaucoup plus répandue, plus économique et offre un plus large choix de munitions que la 6,35 ;
 la 6,35 est une balle avec un noyau en plomb, mais chemisée en métal type FMJ (cuivre ou acier en général). Elle implique une déformation moins importante que la , mais a une pénétration supérieure. À noter qu'il a existé des pistolets d'abattage utilisés dans les abattoirs avec des munitions 6,35 (fin 1900, le 6,35 dutch kattle killer par exemple, aux cotes identiques au 6,35 Browning, mais sans gorge d'éjection).

Dans la comparaison entre .22 LR et 6,35, les partisans du 6,35 mettent en avant une meilleure fiabilité de la munition, qui est à percussion centrale, contrairement au .

Toutefois, la comparaison entre les munitions 6,35 et .22 LR est rendue complexe par la différence des référentiels utilisés dans leurs tables balistiques respectives. En effet, les tables balistiques utilisées pour les  sont établies avec des armes longues (carabines).

La vitesse des balles .22 LR chute de façon considérable lorsqu'elles sont utilisées dans un pistolet ou un revolver en raison de la plus faible distance de dilatation des gaz. D'un point de vue technique, l'énergie cinétique () varie de manière proportionnelle avec le carré de la vitesse () selon la formule  où  est la masse.

Les tables balistiques du 6,35 sont au contraire établies avec des armes à canon court, donc en général les valeurs sont fiables.

Dans une arme de poing, le 6,35 a une vitesse (donc une énergie) parfois supérieure au .

Les .22 hautes vitesses ne fonctionneraient pas mieux et l'on constate même souvent le contraire, à savoir que des .22 hautes vitesses tirées dans une arme courte sont parfois moins rapides et moins puissantes que des  (données variables selon les munitions utilisées et les fabricants).

Certains fabricants comme Fiocchi avaient essayé de commercialiser des .22 LR spécifiques pour armes de poing, mais les vitesses ne dépassaient jamais .

Pour une arme de poche de gabarit réduit (la majeure partie des 6,35), le 6,35 est techniquement supérieur et préférable en tout point au .

Caractéristiques
 Le poids de l'ogive de la munition 6,35 mm se situe entre 2,9 et 3,2 g.
 Sa vitesse à la bouche est de 230 à 250 m/s.
 L'énergie dégagée vaut une centaine de joules.

Le 6,35 mm est aussi dénommé .25 Auto, .25 ACP ou 6,35 Browning.

The ions atomize the water droplets making them small enough to penetrate and condition the hair. The ions also help to restore the damaged cuticle of the hair so it can retain the moisture, making your hair healthier every time you brush!

What is public cloud?
IT needs a modern data center with a unified platform for managing various cloud environments.
A public cloud is a cloud deployment model where on-demand computing services and infrastructure from a third-party provider are shared across multiple organizations using the public Internet. The cloud service provider owns the physical infrastructure and takes care of maintaining and managing it. Public cloud often includes resources like virtual machines, applications, networking, and storage. Companies can choose between a public cloud and a private cloud (where data is stored within the company's own data center), or a combination of the two, known as a hybrid cloud.
Public cloud definition
Public cloud is a cloud deployment model where computing resources are owned and operated by a provider and shared across multiple tenants via the Internet.
Why public cloud?
A public cloud can save companies the costs of investing in and maintaining their own hardware and infrastructure. A public cloud is also typically faster to set up, deploy and manage. Other public cloud benefits include the ability to pay only for the resources you use and to easily scale.
Public cloud versus private cloud
Public cloud is a cloud deployment model that offers computing resources from a third-party provider shared across multiple organizations, or "tenants," allowing for lower cost, little maintenance, and easy scalability. A private cloud, where computing services and infrastructure are hosted within a company's own data center, ensures greater control over data and extra security.
How public cloud works
A public cloud relies on a virtualized environment to create the cloud model, an infrastructure that enables multiple tenants to independently access shared resources on demand. It also relies on fast network connectivity to transmit data efficiently.

Trump's choice for CMS wants Medicaid recipients to have more 'skin in the game'
By Casey Ross @caseymross

Medicaid could be in for a major overhaul.
President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is the architect of Republican-led efforts to cut the program's costs at the state level and require some beneficiaries to get jobs and pay for a portion of their own care.
Seema Verma, president of a national health care consulting company, is best known for her work in Indiana with Vice President-elect Mike Pence, whose gubernatorial administration reshaped Medicaid by requiring recipients to pay premiums and tracking their compliance with healthy behaviors.
Her selection to lead CMS is likely to provoke strong reactions from Democrats and advocates of universal coverage and the Affordable Care Act who argue that her reforms have restricted access to medical services. Trump also selected Republican Congressman Tom Price of Georgia, a fierce critic of Obamacare, to be secretary of Health and Human Services.
He called Price and Verma a "dream team" to help him repeal and replace Obamacare and reform other health policies after he takes office in January.
The selection of Verma is likely to embolden state proposals to cut Medicaid costs and institute changes that require low-income people put more "skin in the game," as many Republicans have said, regarding their health care and medical expenses. It could also bolster Republican-led efforts to pare Medicare spending and shake up coverage options for millions of Americans.
Changes coming for Medicaid after Trump's election. Will patients lose coverage?
Verma has worked in the trenches of health care policy for more than 20 years. She helped launch Indiana's Medicaid reform package in 2007 and became especially influential following the 2010 passage of the Affordable Care Act, which allowed states to significantly expand their Medcaid programs to cover more low-income residents.
Many states led by Republican governors took advantage of the expansion — and its influx of federal aid — but wanted to institute reforms to help control the program's costs and encourage people to engage in healthier behaviors and get off government assistance.
The Healthy Indiana Program created savings accounts for recipients, which works in a similar fashion to commercial insurance plans, by requiring them to make premium-like payments and more carefully budget their use of health services.
A blog post Verma co-wrote said the program "respects the dignity of each member by setting a fair expectation of personal investment and engagement in his or her own well-being. Contributions are a way for members to demonstrate personal responsibility, but they also encourage members to stay engaged with their health plan."
Health care providers in Indiana supported the reform proposal because it included raises from Medicaid — an average of 20 percent for hospitals and 25 percent for doctors. The state's hospital association released a statement this morning applauding Verma's "truly transformational vision for health care."
"She also deeply understands the critical importance of coverage to those served by programs like Medicare and Medicaid, and is a superb choice" to lead CMS, the statement said.
Her proposals, while criticized by some Democrats, have also drawn ire from some Republicans who argue they do not go far enough to cut spending. With the Affordable Care Act still picking up the tab for Medicaid expansion, the exact financial impact of Healthy Indiana on the state's coffers remains unclear.
As president of SVC, Inc., the consulting company she founded, Verma also helped to craft Medicaid waiver proposals in Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, and Tennessee.
She has also worked on a highly controversial reform package in Kentucky, where the state's governor wants to require people with incomes below the federal poverty level to pay premiums. The proposal would also require beneficiaries who aren't primary caregivers to work or get job training. Both the premiums and work requirements have been opposed by the Obama administration.
But Verma's selection to head CMS will quickly change Washington's posture toward Kentucky's proposal and many others that seek to rein in spending. It could also have much broader implications for federal efforts to accelerate performance-pay for doctors, a plan implemented under Obama that aims to tie doctor compensation to the quality of patient outcomes.
Those changes, instituted through the law known as MACRA, have achieved bipartisan support in Congress, and could be accelerated under the Trump administration. Verma's stewardship of CMS will also affect how hospitals are rated and reimbursed for their care, as well as the kinds of penalties they might face for falling short of federal quality benchmarks.

In a battle for first place Tewksbury GU12-5 faced off against the undefeated Medford 1 team which had not allowed a single goal all season. That changed when Gabby Ortiz launched a picturesque corner kick into the goal box and Madison Forgione launched it over the goalie and under the cross bar ending Medford's impressive goalless streak! The tone for this game was set in the first five minutes when Bella DeMatos' effort and tenacity were on full display from the center position not allowing Medford players any breathing room. She was rewarded with the pivotal 2nd goal of Tewksbury's day when she crashed through the middle of the defense and ripped the shot to the back of the net. She also played most of the 2nd half in net and closed out the victory.
Jordan Gardner ended the drama when she buried Tewksbury's 3rd goal late in the second half. Although not registering a goal, Ashley Bielecki was everywhere on offense and deserved a better fate as it was her work that opened the field for many of our chances.
The real story of this game was the play of Ashlyn Nawn at the midfielder position. Ashlyn was assigned to neutralize perhaps the best offensive player in our league, and not only did she neutralize her, she dominated her. She was not alone, as the combination of defenders Sara Barkallah and Nicollette Evangelista, and sweeper Sophia Madera held the Medford attack at bay all game.
Goalie Riley Veits barely broke a sweat thanks to their efforts and easily handled the balls that made it into her zone. Riley also did a great job starting the attack with her smart choices for punting and throwing the ball out. 2nd half goalie Mia Gaglione epitomized the effort and desire that was needed to win this game when she laid full out to block a shot during a pivotal moment of a one goal game and sustained a kick to the ribs for her effort knocking her from the game. Ashley Demers did it all as usual playing offense, defense, and midfield and her flexibility is the cog that makes our team so flexible. Grace Beckman pretty much single handedly iced this game down the stretch with her ball control along the sidelines and her relentless effort to keep the ball pinned in the Medford corner of the field. This game more than any other epitomized what Tewksbury United stands for as this was a complete team effort!

Mr. Concept returns with a Twang!
Klappstuhl Records just proudly published the 5th Album by the meanwhile legendary and believed to be lost on music Mr. Concept from Leicester, UK. An early fiend of the use of Synth with Pop Music Structures as well as influences from the Shadows, the 60's the New Wave and Comedy made his Cassette releases near unique in the 80's Cassette Scene. Such that even his 'November' LP on Cordelia Records issued in 1985 could not really do justice to his talents as without the jingles, radio spots or other interludes it appeared more like a Compilation of some of his finest moments then an Album. But anyway, while everyone expected Mr. Concept to jump straight into the Entertainment Brunch of popular Culture but after a final MC release he made himself ultra-rare for the connosoirs of his tunes, only slight glimpses of life appeared since then, most remarkable the "While My Sitar Gently Beeps" digital EP in 2007 – now deleted but all tracks included here), a website about ringtones and an exclusive unpublished track on "The Constant Rise Of Expectations" Compilation (Klappstuhl, 2012).
"After the creation of his last ever cassette tape 'CONCEPTVM UMBILICVS', way back in 1986, Mr Concept! continued to make recordings of the finest quality on a four track cassette based Portastudio for several more years. Meanwhile The City of Concept was growing and developing into the massive metropolis that we live in today. As part of that development a new levitated tramway was needed to connect the workers luxurious living areas with their city based 'Centers of Creativity' and/or the pub. Unfortunately the planned route was right through CONCEPT CITY Studio 2 and so in 1990 the contents of Studio 2 were rehoused into Studio 3 which was located in an affluent suburb area of CONCEPT CITY. Unfortunately the engineers had trouble remembering how to connect everything up again and the Portastudio never really regained its importance as a creative tool for the genius mind of Mr Concept!
The world was advancing rapidly – technologically and computers were becoming more powerful year by year. The engineers at CONCEPT CITY realised that if they could distract Mr Concept! for long enough then maybe they could create a completely new methedology of recording and forget all about connecting the old studio up again forever ny-a-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaa! Soon they had a strategy – to connect a computer to a musical keyboard and let the computer control the keyboard. All Mr Concept! would need to do would be type in a few numbers in boxes and new tunes would roll off the production line and his stiflement would be no more and they would be off the hook. They worked incessantly both night and day trying to develop this wonderful dream but got nowhere. Meanwhile Mr Concept! bought an Atari ST and a cheap Yamaha keyboard with MIDI and was soon creating wonderful new music.
Mr Concept! was fired with enthusiasm and decided that all of the remaining music created on the Portastudio would be released on a cassette and he would call it '37'. A master tape was labelled and the first track 'Open Up The Network (Reprise)' was written and recorded and placed on the master tape. And that's as far as it got. For Mr Concept! became pregnant with wife and children and his creative stiflement was no more for he had created the best thing ever – a family!
The world had changed. Especially the world of the computer. The PC was King, and the King had a sound card, and hard drive, and a CD-Burner, and Windows, and a door and a drive… And Mr Concept!'s creative stiflement had come back, only this time on the left side. He had heard, from a far off land, that there were computer programs that could be used to create music like in the old days with the Portastudio. He would be able to play his guitar and record it on the PC. And the PC could play samples like the old UK101 computer he had used all those years ago, and it could do MIDI, and everything that Mr Concept! had ever dreamed of!
Mr Concept! plucked up the courage to visit a downtown CONCEPT CITY music store. It was empty and two bored assistants listened to Mr Concept!'s description of the software 'Holy Grail' he was searching for. They nodded as each feature was listed and said 'yep' to let him know that they understood. Mr Concept! expected the worst but was thrilled when they both looked at him, then looked at each other, and shouted 'ACID ROCK!' in unison. An initial order of twenty copies was placed and within days the engineers were installing it at the CONCEPT CITY Test Plant for approval. The Portastudio was moved to one side to make more room, and then later put back in its box for a few days, and then even later forgotten.
This was indeed the dream application that Mr Concept! had hoped for… within hours he was creating new tunes with this wonderful software. It was sooo easy using all the supplied loops. Unfortunately every other user of Acid Rock was doing the same and you would hear the same drums and riffs in other people's songs. So Mr Concept! started going through his record collection and making his own samples by recording small snippets of sound onto the computer.
And so, over the next three years, new recordings were gradually created. Time was limited, what with the breast feeding and everything, but Mr Concept! gradually learned how to make music in this new way. The early tunes contain quite a lot of ready made samples and Mr Concept! wanted to put more of his own stamp on any future recordings and so decided to create a CD with the material so far and draw a line in the sand. The CD 'Electric Gates of Distinction' was made with this early computer created music but remained unreleased as there might have been copyright issues with the samples used.

Q: Java Stream Filter with a reactive predicate I need to filter a collection using a reactive predicate.
Something like this (obviously the real code is not so simple):
private void filterElements(List<Element> elements) {
    // Flux.fromStream(elements.stream()) // maybe I have to make this?
    elements.stream()
    .filter(this::asyncOperation)
    .collect(Collectors.toList());
}

private Mono<Boolean> asyncOperation(Element e) {
    // External service invocation that return a Mono<Boolean>
    Mono.just(Boolean.TRUE); // this is only an example
}

If I call ".block()" after asyncOperation execution, I get the error "java.lang.IllegalStateException: block()/blockFirst()/blockLast() are blocking, which is not supported in thread parallel-1"
Is it possible? Which is the better way to achieve it?

A: You can supply async predicate to filterWhen:

May 28, 2010 (LBO) – An information technology firm has set up a software development centre in Sri Lanka's former war-torn eastern region with support from the United States, its embassy in Colombo said. Kingslake Engineering Systems had set up development centre in Akkaraipatti in the Ampara district with financial support from the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
The centre set up through a subsidiary, Advanced Information Consulting (AIC) will employ graduates from the education system in Sri Lanka's eastern province.
AIC managing director S Dharmvasan says USAID helped reduce the financial risk of setting up shop in a war-torn area. A 30-year war in Sri Lanka's north and east ended in May 2009.
"USAID is partnering with the strong Sri Lankan private sector to ensure both short and long term economic recovery," the lending agency's mission director in Colombo Rebecca Cohn said in a statement.
"IT enterprises are the wave of the future and this partnership is particularly important for the young people in the Eastern Province."
USAID's economic growth programs in Sri Lanka focus on partnerships which will foster stability, create sustainable jobs, and jump-st

Orioles news, notes and opinions: Hardy, Reynolds, Bergesen, Bell or Snyder, Alan Dunn, etc. (UPDATE)
This might be a blatant overreaction based on a small sample size, but if I'm the Orioles, I'm putting in a call to shortstop J.J. Hardy's agent and seeing if he has any interest in discussing a two-year contract extension. Hardy, 28, is a free agent after the season. His injury history has to be a concern and he's already missed one month this season with the oblique issue. However, when he's been in there, he's been solid, both with the glove and the bat. The Orioles obviously don't have anybody in their system that will be ready to start at that position next season, and steady two-way shortstops are hard to find. Why not see if Hardy has an interest in sticking around and bridging the gap to the Manny Machado era, which will probably start in 2013?
I feel like this is as good of a time as any to point out that much-maligned third baseman Mark Reynolds currently leads the Orioles in homers (10), extra-base hits (22), doubles (12) and walks (32, Luke Scott is next with 19). He is tied with Adam Jones for the team lead in RBIs (32), and second to Jones in runs scored (27). He is also third in steals (four). I'm not sure what my point is other than to point out as low as Reynolds' average is, the Orioles have far bigger problems offensively right now than the guy playing third base.
That May 16th game at Boston sure took a toll on both the Orioles and Red Sox. Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts still hasn't played since he started experiencing concussion-like symptoms after sliding headfirst into first base for an infield single to start the game. Orioles first baseman Derrek Lee strained an oblique in that game and missed nearly three weeks. Now comes word that Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia hurt his right knee in a fall while fielding that Roberts' ball, which deflected off Daisuke Matsuzaka's chest. Surgery is reportedly an option for Pedroia.
Somebody should make sure that the organization's young pitchers watch video of Chris Jakubauskas' five scoreless innings against Oakland on Tuesday. Look, Jakubauskas isn't going to wow anybody with his stuff, and if he was facing the Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees Tuesday, it probably would have been a different story. However, albeit against a bad offensive team, Jakubauskas threw strikes, especially with his fastball, moved the ball around and got ahead in counts. As many young Oriole starters have already found out, pitching in the majors isn't easy. But you at least give yourself a chance by commanding your fastball and not consistently getting behind.
You know what would probably excite Oriole officials? Their affiliates going a full day without losing a prospect to an injury. Last night, Single-A Frederick lost outfielder Trent Mummey and first baseman Tyler Townsend, who has been of the system's most productive hitters, to hamstring injuries. A night earlier, Steve Johnson, who has been very good lately for Double-A Bowie, was forced out of the game after he was hit by a comebacker. Top prospect Manny Machado, a shortstop for Single-A Delmarva, just returned this week after missing about a month with a dislocated kneecap. Top pitching prospect Dan Klein, who has been dominant at Single-A Frederick and Double-A Bowie, is still experiencing right shoulder soreness and will have an MRI Monday. Pitching prospects Ryan Berry, Matt Hobgood and Luis Lebron are still in throwing programs and rehabbing injuries, while Brandon Erbe recently had a setback in his quest to return from shoulder surgery. First baseman Joe Mahoney, the organization's minor league player of the year last season, has played in just 10 games this season because of a variety of injuries. I'm sure I'm missing a couple of guys too, but the point is that it's tough for your farm system to make any progress when its top players can't get or stay on the field.

There was some good news for Triple-A Norfolk last night as Brad Bergesen, in his second start for the Tides, threw a complete-game shutout, limiting Pawtucket to four hits and one walk while striking out eight. He has allowed one earned run in 15 innings since his demotion, though he did walk six guys in his first start. Now, it's Chris Tillman's turn to start putting together some dominant starts.
We wrote this is in our notebook in today's paper, but the Orioles will likely call up a utility infielder in time for Friday's game with Lee going on the bereavement list. Norfolk first baseman Brandon Snyder makes the most sense, but I'm told Josh Bell is getting consideration as well. Luke Scott will probably play first base in two of the three games against Tampa Bay, but I doubt they run him out there on Saturday against lefty David Price.
Orioles minor league pitching coordinator Alan Dunn is in Baton Rouge today to interview for the pitching coach job at Louisiana State University. Dunn is expected to get and accept the job on Paul Mainieri's staff, replacing Tigers pitching coach and recruiting coordinator David Grewe. Dunn, 49, has been in the Orioles organization since late in the 2007 season when then manager Dave Trembley hired him to be the team's bullpen coach. Before that, Dunn spent 15 seasons in the Chicago Cubs organization. Mainieri has extensive ties with the Cubs organization, and that obviously helped Dunn's cause. This is a great opportunity for Dunn, who is an Alabama native. He's a class act and I wish him well.
I assume everybody is pretty sick of talking about the amateur draft. However, one more point I think needs to be made: Don't expect the Orioles to sign as many of their draft picks as they did the past couple of years. Sure, Director of Amateur Scouting Joe Jordan will want to sign all of his early picks, but some of the later-round guys will probably be out of luck if they dream of starting their pro careers immediately. After getting rid of their team in Rookie League Bluefield and also dumping one of their Dominican Summer League teams, the Orioles simply don't have places for all these guys to play unless they plan to release about 30 guys currently in the system. So I'm sure Jordan and his scouts will target the guys that they want to sign the most and plan accordingly.
Interesting note today courtesy of Elias: The Orioles' three-game sweep of Oakland - in which they won by scores of 4-2, 4-0 and 3-2 - marked the first time in nine years that the Orioles have won three consecutive games despite scoring four or fewer runs in each of them. The Orioles three starting pitchers the last time that happened in June 2002 were Travis Driskill, Jason Johnson and Sidney Ponson.

Z-Wave Summit Offers Market Opportunities
There were smiles all around at the Z-Wave Alliance's Fall Summit in Edison, NJ, October 23, well before Superstorm Sandy made its way ashore and wreaked so much havoc.
By Lindsey Adler
Published: November 2, 2012 ⋅ Updated: April 15, 2019
Alliance members, developers, and press gathered to hear about the specific sources of growth anticipated and where exactly these market opportunities exist.
"Home control is the next big thing," stated Stuart Sikes, president of Parks Associates, a market research and analysis firm covering advanced residential products and consumer perceptions about these products and services.
Sikes' presentation detailed how the target market for residential energy management and home security technologies in the United States is expected to exceed a combined 60 percent of all households by 2022, deployed by utilities, service providers, or retailers. He also cited more than 25 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for connected home system bundles, including just home security and systems and home control systems, without including single product offerings with fee-based services.
The focus of Sikes' report was how service providers are changing the race in home automation, particularly broadband providers like Comcast, Time Warner, and AT&T, which are not typical competitors for AV integrators. In a follow-up interview, he commented on how the high-end market for home automation would be affected by mass-market growth in two ways.
"Awareness across the general population will lead higher end buyers to become aware that 'everybody's doing it,' and, upon looking into the possibilities, will seek the Cadillac of systems—leading them to the high-end providers. So, general awareness benefits all segments of the market," Sikes said.
And the second way high-end providers will benefit by mass market growth in demand for home automation, according to Sikes, is that, "First-time buyers of home automation may install service provider provisioned systems, find them to be rewarding, but perhaps lacking in all desired features, and begin shopping for an upscale solution—just as the beginning golfer buys her first set of clubs at the big-box retailer, then, finding that she has a keen interest in the game, decides to invest in custom-fitted clubs."
Sikes also added that, "We do not anticipate the high-end providers moving down market," due mostly to their lack of interest in doing so.
Parks Associates' research also showed that consumers have substantial interest in home health monitoring solutions, which is a technology category that CEDIA highlighted prominently in its Future Technology Pavilion at EXPO 2012. Of the broadband households surveyed by Parks Associates, 42 percent find the independent living service concept appealing, and 37 percent find a vital-sign monitoring service appealing. Parks Associates expects digital health services to be provided by integrators, rather than direct-to-consumer.
This portion of Sikes' research led pointedly to Laura Mitchell, VP of business development for GrandCare Systems, which has participated in the Future Technology Pavilion at CEDIA EXPO.
Mitchell spoke about how consumers know more about their cars than they do about their own bodies, the main premise for GrandCare's growing technologies for older individuals who want to remain healthy in their homes as they age.
GrandCare's "aging in place" technology has benefited from situations where senior citizens are transitioned from hospital emergency rooms to outpatient centers and eventually their own homes. GrandCare's value add is software, Mitchell explained, meaning they work with existing protocol devices to develop unique health solutions with any range of hardware. "The key to this industry is partnerships," she said. For CEDIA dealers, this means developing working relationships with long term care providers, outpatient centers, and other healthcare facilities.
The Z-Wave Alliance event also featured a sneak peek of a study about the impact of the smart grid on connected homes, conducted by Continental Automated Buildings Association (CABA) and summarized by Z-Wave Chairman Mark Walters. The interesting backstory to the study was how just a few years ago, utility companies expected to take the lead in home automation through the installation of smart meters. In practice, the utility companies found they weren't well equipped to deliver broader automation services and have no interest in doing so anymore. The major take-home point of the CABA report that Walters delivered was the greater need for service providers to collaborate and create joint business models.
So from multiple angles, the Z-Wave Alliance conference drove home a great deal of positive news regarding a flood of demand and opportunities for home automation providers. Its up to custom integrators and the manufacturers that serve them to carve out an appropriate niche to go after.
For the Fall summit, Z-Wave also opened the doors to its interoperability lab for tours, marking the one year anniversary of the lab in Piscataway, NJ. The 3,300-foot state-of-the-art facility provides real world applications-based product testing for interoperability and quality. The lab is available to manufacturers and developers to create their own application-specific test beds for studying how devices communicate with each other in the real world.
Some of the devices undergoing testing there included Somfy shades, which use Z-Wave protocols for lighting, and keypad scene controllers. There was also an intriguing demonstration of technology from Infusion, a software engineering firm focused on emerging technologies. An original jukebox from the 1950s was set up with a Z-Wave control module for automation. All of the original parts were left intact, so the coin-operated device was paired to a PC playing iTunes. The jukebox would make for a great party gadget. Simply insert a coin, make a song selection, and play music from a local iTunes library.
With creative, next generation technologies tested for real-world applications and business opportunities spanning the spectrum of home automation, the Z-Wave Alliance and its members are poised for success.

Thinking is an incredible activity. We do it all the time automatically. Scientists say that we never stop having the words move through our minds. Even when we are asleep a flow of words is streaming around inside of us. In fact, while human beings can speak at the rate of 150 to 200 words per minute, we think at the rate of 1300 to 1800 words per minute [and we read from 200 to 400 words per minute on average]. This helps to explain why our mind sometimes wanders when we are listening to someone [or their mind wanders when we are speaking!].
Our thoughts are the single most important physical item in determining our destiny. How we think will dictate how we feel and how we react to situations in life. That, in turn, will determine our success or failure.
What is thinking? It is basically our mind talking to ourselves. Every human being is constantly talking to themselves - they just don't usually do it out loud. Everyone has both negative and positive fleeting thoughts. You know the kind. They just seem to come into our mind from nowhere. These are not the thoughts that will effect our destiny. If it is just in and out there is no lasting impression; but, if we choose to spend time dwelling or meditating about the thought, then it becomes a part of who we are and will impact our lives for better or worse.
Our mind has the ability to evaluate facts and decide what is true or false. It can make a wrong decision based on incomplete or inaccurate data, but it will evaluate information. We can then decide what to think about.
Our emotions are the opposite. They cannot evaluate facts. They simply react to what the mind tells them is true. For example, imagine you are back in school. Unexpectedly you are called to the Principal's office. Your mind evaluates the information and tells your emotions - "You are in trouble now." Instantly, the butterflies in your stomach start, your legs move slower and fear wells up in your heart. When you get to the principal's office you find out he just wanted to thank you for some volunteer work you had done. What happened? Your mind fed your emotions misinformation and your emotions simply reacted.
Since our thoughts are programming our lives at the rate of 1300 to 1800 words per minute, 24 hours a day, it is extremely important what kind of thoughts we allow in our minds. It is important what kind of TV we watch, what kind of music we listen to, and what kind of friends we have. If we are constantly getting negative input, our programming is going to be largely negative, which, in turn, will hinder our ability to live happy, healthy lives.
Also, it is especially important what kind of language we use with children. Their minds are in the process of developing the ability to evaluate facts. While they are in the process, they tend to believe everything they hear. If someone tells them they are stupid, or lazy, or will never amount to anything, they will tend to accept it as fact. Even when they mature they find it hard to overcome that kind of thinking which was programmed into them in their youth. Yes, children [and adults, too] have to be corrected when they are wrong, but it should never be in a way which devalues them as a person or introduces negative thinking into their minds.
How does this apply to reading? Many times children are labeled as having a learning disability simply because they have struggles in some areas. All of us are different. All of us struggle in some areas. In the case of reading, often the problem is more with ineffective methods of teaching reading than with the child. Because of hearing it so often, the child begins to think of himself or herself as learning disabled. They, then, don't believe that they can ever learn. What a crime!
Now, I recognize that some people have genuine physical, mental, or spiritual issues which hinder their ability to learn. In extreme cases it may prevent them from learning. But, in most cases, amazing progress is possible if a person will simply believe in themselves with the right kind of thinking.
Check out those 1300 to 1800 words that are streaming through your mind every minute. Are they building your life...or tearing it down?
