GDPR Recital 50 For which the personal data were not initially collected
The processing of personal data for purposes other than those for which the personal data were initially collected should be allowed only where the processing is compatible with the purposes for which the personal data were initially collected. In such a case, no legal basis separate from that which allowed the collection of the personal data is required. If the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller, Union or Member State law may determine and specify the tasks and purposes for which the further processing should be regarded as compatible and lawful. Further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes should be considered to be compatible lawful processing operations. The legal basis provided by Union or Member State law for the processing of personal data may also provide a legal basis for further processing. In order to ascertain whether a purpose of further processing is compatible with the purpose for which the personal data are initially collected, the controller, after having met all the requirements for the lawfulness of the original processing, should take into account, inter alia: any link between those purposes and the purposes of the intended further processing; the context in which the personal data have been collected, in particular the reasonable expectations of data subjects based on their relationship with the controller as to their further use; the nature of the personal data; the consequences of the intended further processing for data subjects; and the existence of appropriate safeguards in both the original and intended further processing operations.
Where the data subject has given consent or the processing is based on Union or Member State law which constitutes a necessary and proportionate measure in a democratic society to safeguard, in particular, important objectives of general public interest, the controller should be allowed to further process the personal data irrespective of the compatibility of the purposes. In any case, the application of the principles set out in this Regulation and in particular the information of the data subject on those other purposes and on his or her rights including the right to object, should be ensured. Indicating possible criminal acts or threats to public security by the controller and transmitting the relevant personal data in individual cases or in several cases relating to the same criminal act or threats to public security to a competent authority should be regarded as being in the legitimate interest pursued by the controller. However, such transmission in the legitimate interest of the controller or further processing of personal data should be prohibited if the processing is not compatible with a legal, professional or other binding obligation of secrecy.

Marilyn Monroe was and remains one of the most famous models and actresses in American culture. She attended Van Nuys High School and was discovered by an army photographer while she was working at the Radioplane Munitions Factory during World War II. Her films grossed the equivalent of $2 billion, before like Valens she passed away way too soon.
Both artists represent the work ethic and creative spirit that defines the San Fernando Valley. If passed into law, the post office on 6531 Van Nuys Boulevard will be named after Marilyn Monroe, and the post office on 13507 Van Nuys Boulevard in Pacoima will be named after Richie Valens.


As a young practitioner I am eager to gain further experience, thus adding to and enhancing my existing creative skill set. The world of comedy greatly intrigues and excites me as a performer and writer.
Specifically, the styles of sketch comedy and character acting are well suited to my area of expertise .
However as well as this I do enjoy and have experience in serious drama.

Point, click and buy. Shopping has never been as convenient as when you do it online. For many of us, the Web has become one big, virtual department store, where anything –books, clothes, toys, souvenir items, pillow covers, airline tickets, whatever it is one needs (or wants)– can be purchased with a single mouse-click.
It used to be inconvenient. It used to be that we'd have to drive to the nearest Wal-Mart to buy things, and spend hours making rounds of the aisles, and fall in line and wait our turn at the cash register. It used to be that we'd have to make lists, push metal carts, carry heavy bags all the way to the parking lot, and sigh at the end of a long day that was spent looking for a particular kind of Air Jordans that Junior wanted for Christmas.
That's rarely the case these days. Thanks to the rapid rise of technology, everything has now become available online. Even the metal cart –or, alternatively, the shopping bag– has gone virtual on us. From the comfort of our own homes, or our swivel chair in the office, we have grown to become a consumer generation that makes transactions the electronic way. Point, click and buy: the height of convenience indeed, with less time spent and less effort required.
But are we shopping at less cost?
As the world's economy continues to plummet, the average Joe's budget continues to tighten. And our online shopping behavior has become more thorough. Every penny counts, as they say. We are scouring the Internet for a website that sells this item for a cheaper price than the other website. We are Googling for bargains. We are asking bloggers for tips, and sellers for discounts, and retailers for better deals. Anything that will help us save a few more cents. A few more dollars.
It is then to no surprise that coupons are making a comeback; this time, though, they have gone paperless. Like everything else, they are being presented online – and redeemed online. Internet shopping carts are being tagged with snips that would take a percent or dollar off of a purchase. Whereas before, shoppers would clip newspaper cutouts for a meal ticket or collect coupons from boxes of breakfast cereals, we now have the Internet to avail ourselves of similar money-saving opportunities. Clearance sales used to be announced with a banner posted on a shop window – and rebates and discounts, in magazine inserts; now they're being advertised with a colorful graphic on the sidebars of blogs and online stores.
These trends have driven the rise of websites, such as http://www.couponsaver.org/, that collect coupon information and promo codes to share to the rest of the online shoppers' world. An increasing number of consumers, with varying demographics and needs, are visiting these sites to check out the most popular deals or monitor the latest promotional offers.
Not that the mousetrap lessens the choices of the consumer. If anything, it increases them – all while ushering in a trend in shopping that is just as convenient, and yet also much cheaper: point, click, buy, and save.

Q: Ignore Specific Columns Parsing a CSV File with Jackson CSV My problem is that I need to parse CSV files with arbitrary columns/order into a known domain POJO (say Person). I can identify which columns that I need to process, ignoring the rest.
The option CsvParser.Feature.IGNORE_TRAILING_UNMAPPABLE" seemed to be exactly what I need, but the columns that I need to process are not necessarliy grouped at the start of the CSV file, and I cannot force the user to "re-order" the columns of their uploaded CSV files. Also, sometimes I do not get a header row, but the UI forces the user to identify columns & passes this information over.
For example, I have the following CSV file:
First Name,Last Name,Nickname,DOB,Occupation,Postal Code
Freddy,Benson,Ruprecht,08/14/45,Con Artist,76701
Lawrence,Jamieson,Prince,03/14/33,Con Artist,5201
Janet,Colgate,Jackal,03/13/55,Con Artist,90401

I only need 4 of the 6 columns (First Name, Last Name, DOB, Postal Code), as my Person POJO only includes those fields:
public class Person {
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private LocalDate dob;
    private String postalCode;
}

I have defined a CsvSchema typed for Person and specify the columns I'm interested in order (First Name, Last Name, IGNORE, DOB, IGNORE2, Postal Code), as I would like to skip columns (Nickname, Occupation). Hoever, the "IGNORE" columns get ignored during mapping in the deserializer, and I end up getting "Nickname" values for "DOB", resulting in invalid values for the DOB field.

A: My mistake was defining the schema as follows, which apparently strongly couples the schema to the domain POJO:
CsvSchema schema = mapper
    .typedSchemaFor(Person.class)
    .withSkipFirstDataRow(hasHeader)
    .sortedBy(columnOrder.toArray(new String[columnOrder.size()]));

Resolved by defining schema/columns as follows, which seems to loosly couple the schema to the domain POJO:
CsvSchema schema = CsvSchema.builder()
    .addColumn("firstName")
    .addColumn("lastName")
    .addColumn("ignore1")
    .addColumn("dob")
    .addColumn("ignore2")
    .addColumn("postalCode")
    .build();

    CsvMapper mapper = new CsvMapper();
    MappingIterator<Person> personIter = mapper
            .readerFor(Person.class)
            .with(schema)
            .readValues(csvFile);

A: Please refer to this link provided
you should be able to solve this https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-dataformat-csv/issues/82

A: Ignoring unknown can be achieved as shown below(tested using jackson 2.13):

*

*Annotate POJO

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreProperties;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import java.time.LocalDate;

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true) //this is the trick to ignore all undeclared columns
public class Person {
    @JsonProperty("First Name") //declare what's needed
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private LocalDate dob;
    private String postalCode;
}

*Configure csvSchema

CsvMapper csvMapper = new CsvMapper();
CsvSchema csvSchema = csvMapper
    .schemaFor(Person.class)
    .withHeader()//header defines the order
    .withColumnReordering(true)//this allows columns to be in any order as long as there is a header
    ;

*Finally, use it to read csv file

csvMapper.readerFor(Person.class).with(csvSchema).readValues(csvFile)

In today's fast moving world we often ignore the major chunk of our population who despite having a relatively better access to technology is not capable of using it to solve their everyday problems.
In order to utilize the tremendous talent in the students at NUST in general and SEECS in particular SEECS Social Hackathon is being arranged from 15th May 2015 to 17th May 2015.
During the course of this event over 400 Students will get a chance to apply their knowledge and showcase their solutions to local social problems. These problems (ranging from identifying crimes in an area to identifying religious places and providing a public complaint registering framework) differ not only in their scope but also the target audience. The students are required to apply requirement engineering in each of these problems and build a solution which is not only usable but also long lasting. The students will form a major part of the Hackathon Teams (8-10 people, including mentors).
Each team will have 1-2 mentors from industry and academia. Mentors, acting in advisory roles are expected to provide feedback and act as the beta testers for the solutions. The Mentor pool will be composed of people with atleast 3-4 years of experience in software development or social programs. Through an environment of mutual respect the mentors and the mentees are expected to work towards the betterment of the society.
Through, innovation and entrepreneurship, Software Development Industry in Pakistan has achieved a lot, in the past 15 years. It is through the continued hard work and selfless dedication that they have managed to bring forth a positive image of Pakistan. However, this success would not have been possible without sacrifices being imparted at every level. None more so, then the fresh graduates, who usually have to start from scratch while shifting from the academic environment to industrial one. We believe that this problem is amplified because of an apparent disassociation existing between the academia and the industry. By organizing this event SEECS is providing yet another platform to bridge this divide.
Additionally the Industry will have a chance to project their very good inner nature on to solving societal problems and provide an opportunity to not only overcome the great many problems plaguing our nation but also to move it forward towards success.

The John Bull magazine was first published in 1906. It was a hugely popular weekly and despite a circulation of over 700,000, it was finally closed in 1964 as it could not generate enough advertising revenue to cover its costs.
John Bull employed some of Britain's finest illustrators and this original cover, by Ronald Lampitt, depicts an idyllic rural farm, complete with the farmer, milk maid and working Collie.
Throughout the 1950s, Lampitt's covers for John Bull helped cheer up the ration burdened families of post-war Britain through his romanticised views of the countryside and its people.

Sleuthing Out Lutherie: Tools to Build On with Jayne Henderson and Rachel Rosenkrantz
Cynthia Schemmer
Phoebe Shuman-Goodier (@_phoebo)
So, you're interested in building your own guitar, but the idea of acquiring the experience and tools seems way too overwhelming. Fear not! She Shreds spoke with two prolific luthiers, Jayne Henderson and Rachel Rosenkrantz, about their beginnings, the most crucial tools you will need, and advice for those looking to build.
Jayne Henderson never intended on becoming a luthier. With an environmental law degree from Vermont Law and loans to pay, she asked her father, renowned luthier Wayne Henderson, to build her a guitar she could sell. But her father had a different idea—that she should build it herself. "I had no intention [of building]," Henderson tells She Shreds over the phone from her home in Asheville, North Carolina. "I would see bits and pieces of the process but was never interested. I think because everyone else wanted to, I didn't want to stand in line for my Dad's attention."
Wayne Henderson has been building guitars for 50 years, with clients including Eric Clapton and Gillian Welch, and was awarded a National Heritage Fellowship in 1995 at a White House ceremony. Suffice to say, Jayne learned from the best. "I just thought I would go through the motions and do what he told me, but I didn't," she says. "It was the best thing. I got to spend time with him. And it turns out, I'm pretty good at it."
Working with her father every day for a week in his Virginia workshop, Henderson built her first guitar. He would present the materials and tools and guide her as she went along—eventually, she was hooked. "I kept thinking up reasons to work on guitars," Henderson says. "I loved it more than anything. And now, I can't wait to go to sleep so I can get up and make something beautiful for somebody."
Henderson has been building for five years, but she's still learning. She mentions that in order to build a really stand-out guitar, even the smallest tasks must be done with precision, but some things can only come from experience. "I can hear when you remove enough wood [in the body] that it starts to really sing," she says. "It will tell you when it's done, when you don't have to shave anymore." She also jokes that the math you learned in high school that you never thought you'd use will come back to haunt to you.
It's obvious in Henderson's guitars that she ties together her creative and environmental backgrounds. She mentions that she comes at her work as an artist rather than a player, preferring inlay over the tedious task of making a neck fit into the body—and yet, Henderson is intentional about each step of the process. "George Gruhn told me, 'Your guitars have a soul in them. It's not just a bunch of wood stuck together.' I take the time to pick a piece of wood for a specific person." And it's no surprise that she uses only sustainable wood: "I'm a female builder in a world of guys, and most of them don't consider me a contender. And that's fine, because one day, when all of their Brazilian rosewood is gone, they'll be like, 'Oh, this girl's been using oak for 10 years now. Dang, we should have gotten in on that because oak sounds just as good!'"
Henderson's advice for beginners:
BUY A GUITAR KIT: "That way you can get a feel for it. A kit makes it so much easier to see if you're ready, willing, and able to do it, versus starting totally from scratch. There's so much you might not have thought of that goes into it. Also, you can see all the parts of the guitar as you put it together." (See resource list for information on where to purchase.)
BASIC TOOLS: "Start with a hand saw, a sander, and a table saw. C-clamps and hinge clamps—my favorite are the wood cam clamps."
DO WHAT YOU LOVE: "Do it because you love it, not because it makes you money—you won't make a very good guitar. I had already spent a lot on a degree, and thought, 'I probably shouldn't be [building].' That doesn't matter. If this is what you want to do and it doesn't feel like a job and you can't wait to get up to do it, then you should do it."
///////////////////////////////////
While studying design at ESAG Penninghen in Paris, where she was born and raised, Rachel Rosenkrantz walked past the lutherie shop of Maurice Dupont every day to catch the bus to and from school. Best known for his original Gypsy guitar, Dupont's shop reminded Rosenkrantz of her affection for guitars, but the demand from school didn't allow her time to play music. She moved to Providence, Rhode Island, to continue her studies as an exchange student at RISD. When she eventually graduated from ESAG Penninghen and started playing music again, she found that she couldn't stop thinking about lutherie. "Ten years later, if you still want to do it, you should do it," laughs Rosenkrantz while talking to She Shreds from her studio in Providence. "At the time, believe it or not, I was considered too old to start. I was only 21."
As both a musician and a designer, becoming a luthier was a way for Rosenkrantz to combine the two. In 2011, returning to Providence, she began studying with Daniel Collins of Shady Lea Guitars, one of the few teachers at the time who taught how to build classical guitars. "I believe that with an apprenticeship you can really learn at your own pace," she says. After quitting her corporate job, Rosenkrantz diligently attended Collins's class every other day, working through nights and weekends. She went on to share studios with luthiers Otto D'Ambrosio and Zachary Martin, who opened their spaces to her when she was in a pinch for a place to work.
Between 2012 and 2014, using every dollar in her savings account, Rosenkrantz began piecing together her own studio in Providence. One of her main pieces of advice to beginning luthiers is to get your own space and all of your own equipment as soon as possible: "It was great to share space with others and have access to equipment, but to be productive, and efficient, and find a good work groove, you really have to work alone."
In conjunction, Rosenkrantz also suggests that if you want to build for a living, you need to dive right in. "It's hard to be prolific and productive if you don't give it the time," she says. "It's a very slow process to build a guitar, and if you're only doing it every other day, you're not going to get things done. It's time consuming. Make sure you have enough savings, enough of a buffer when you start."
Rosenkrantz has been building for over five years now. Her past work in art and design has been shown in exhibits at the Carrousel du Louvre, the Musée d'Art Contemporain du Palais de Tokyo, and at the Hangaram Museum of Modern Art in Seoul. Her luthier work was featured on the television show Raw Craft with Anthony Bourdain, and she has recently worked with Kaki King to design an affordable, moveable bridge that turns a guitar in a koto (a traditional Japanese stringed instrument). She currently teaches Spatial Dynamics in the Division of Experimental and Foundation Studies at RISD.
"There's a lot of us," Rosenkrantz says of luthiers. "People don't think there are, but we are a bunch. There's enough room for everybody. Going to a luthier showcase, you see everybody's work is different. Don't doubt, don't get discouraged. I believe if you don't do it first, you have to do it better."
Rosenkrantz's advice for beginners:
Think with your hands: "Even if you follow a blueprint or process, once you have the wood, you know naturally what it needs to become. Not just thinking with your head, but with your gut. When you have that intuitive knowledge, it's more than just learning—it's naturally understanding what the material needs to be."
Don't be cheap: "Chisels and handsaws are crucial. If you have to spend the money, those will be the two tools that you need to spend the big bucks on. You can't fuck around with those."
Be mindful with your materials: "We know we cannot legally use Brazilian rosewood, yet every year we see pictures of [them] at [guitar] shows. We have to be responsible. There are so many woods that haven't been explored, and I think it's time to expand the envelope. Don't be afraid to try. Be resourceful, mindful, and adventurous."

[…] E. Jayne Henderson makes custom acoustic guitars with a focus on smaller bodies as well as ukuleles with local, sustainable wood. This second generation builder is the daughter of Wayne Henderson, the luthier who Allen St. John wrote about in Clapton's Guitar: Watching Wayne Henderson Build the Perfect Instrument. Wayne runs a humble and humane luthier shop in the hills of Rugby, VA, where rock stars and ordinary folks alike wait the same length of time for their guitars to be finished—but when they are, it's extraordinary. Henderson got the building bug after first pursuing a career in environmental law, and finding that she was drawn strongly to the workshop. Her designs tend to emulate pre-war Martin styles.

1. is it as bad as Ocho Rios when it comes to drugs?
2. Any good Straw Market type shopping close?
3. Where is Jimmy Buffett's margaritaville at?
4. Any thing that is NOT to be missed while we are there?
Margaritaville is close...straw market is by Dunn's River Falls. Lot's of folks say it isn't to be missed. It is a ride from Montego Bay, that's why I've never taken that excursion. I don't think you would be disappointed if you went to the falls. Drugs are everywhere, just say no and keep walking. Stay with a group. Don't take independent taxi's.
If you are going to walk on thin ice, you may as well dance!
It's been a while since we were in Montego Bay, but as I recall there's a straw market right at the port. Margaritaville would be a taxi ride away.
Personally, I wouldn't do Dunn's River Falls from Montego Bay. Most of your time would be spent on a bus. Save that tour until you go to Ocho Rios !
Yes, you'll be offered "ganja" everywhere in Jamaica! As Melody said, just say "no thanks" and keep moving !
If you're going to take a taxi be sure it has the red JUTA license plate.


Error (ABC News Web site, Abby D. Phillip, 10/22/12): Obama's relationship with Netanyahu has been rocked by several public strains in the past four years, including disagreements about Israel's expansion of settlements in the Gaza Strip.
Correction (Posted as of 11/4/12): Obama's relationship with Netanyahu has been rocked by several public strains in the past four years, including disagreements about Israel's expansion of settlements in the West Bank.
Error (Abcnews.com, permanent Interactive item): There have been allegations that Hamas also raises funds in the United States, Canada and Western Europe.
Correction (As of 1/21/05): Charities in the United States, Canada and Western Europe have funded Hamas-linked social service groups. In addition, several individuals in the United States have been charged with providing material support to the group.
Error (Abcnews.com, permanent Interactive item): The official Hamas rhetoric is opposed to the very existence of the Israeli state, but in reality, the group has altered its position to oppose Israel's occupation of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.
Correction (As of 1/21/05): The official Hamas rhetoric is opposed to the very existence of the Israeli state.
Error (ABC World News Tonight, Peter Jennings, 4/24/03): In the Israeli- occupied Palestinian territories today, a Palestinian suicide bomber killed an Israeli security guard and injured 14 other people. He blew himself up at a train station during the morning rush hour. This is the first suicide attack in nearly a month.
Correction (4/25/03): Speaking of the violence, we made a mistake last night on our broadcast. Yesterday's suicide attack by a Palestinian on Israelis took place in Israel itself, very near but not in the occupied territories, as we said.
Error (ABC World News Tonight, Peter Jennings, 7/11/01): The Israeli Army says it will investigate the deaths of two Palestinians who died after being held up at army checkpoints. One of the cases involved a woman in labor who was turned back on her way to the hospital. Her newborn baby died.
Correction (Correction 7/24/01): And one other note from the Middle East: A Palestinian family has confirmed to us that reports of a new-born baby who died because the mother was held up at an Israeli army checkpoint are not correct. The baby apparently suffered respiratory failure on route to the hospital.

Today in highly recommended: the new film from Lynn Shelton, director of Hump Day.
It's a spare, smart, hilarious character study of three people, all of whom are immensely likeable by the end (but not necessarily the beginning, or middle) of the movie. And it's so emotionally satisfying! That's the best thing about it—that everything that happens is exactly what would have happened, given the people and the events, and that we get to be there for it. And not just there, but really there, incrementally there, for the micro-moments of feeling and insight.
That's rare, peeps. We don't see a lot of that at the movies.
Tell-a-Manatee
I was just applying for a copywriting gig, and I had to answer this question:
If you had an opportunity to create/start whatever you wanted and were given 1 million dollars and six months, what would this thing be, and how would you go about making it happen?
Okay, if I had a million dollars, obviously I would buy 1/2 of a modernist house, give more money to NPR, and pay restaurants to cook me dinner every night. But because this potential employer wants to see a creative idea that sort of benefits humanity but also sounds like a campaign I might generate for a client (because that's the business we're in, people), I had to come up with something else. Here's what I wrote:
I would trick out a bus with happy, feel-good (but modern and sophisticated) decor and tour it around the country, parking it in cities and towns and offering free 15-minute listening sessions to anyone and everyone. The bus would be staffed with people who had been trained in compassionate listening, and they'd all be dressed as manatees—big, blorpy, calm animals who just listen. Upon entering the bus, the customer/user would be greeted by one of the manatees, who would lead them to a private room. There, they'd be given 15 minutes to say whatever they needed to say. At the end, there would be a hug option. I'd also develop a bunch of social media apps where people all over the world could Tell-a-Manatee via website, text, iPhone, whatever — potentially resulting in a book of things people wanted to tell manatees. We'd make a music video of manatees singing about how much they want to hear everybody's story and develop a plush manatee doll for people to hug. Probably by then I'd be out of time and/or money.
Think I'll get the job?
Alas, a disappointment.
I love Wes Anderson and am grateful for whatever he does. But once in a while—and it's the case with Moonrise Kingdom as it was in Life Aquatic—he seems to lose track of emotional impact, favoring instead such deadpan irony that nothing really registers. What we get is a beautiful array of quirk, a perfectly assembled (and entirely delightful) oddball dollhouse of detail—but no import. Just, none.
Moonrise Kingdom is gorgeous in all the ways Anderson knows how to be gorgeous: the exquisitely chosen prop, the fantastical assemblage of sets. You can feel his delight in dreaming up whimsically home-grown (yet brilliant) stage scenery for a church production of the Noah's Ark story, just as you could 14 years ago, in Max's hilariously professional-quality productions in Rushmore. But without a grip on our feelings, the film feels a bit like visiting a fashion shoot: glamorous but empty.
For me, Darjeeling Limited is still the winner of Anderson's films, with its slow and stunning build to depth. Funny and quirky, and not without its totemic props—dude loves his luggage—but all to a point. It's probably time to watch that one again.
Freedom/Imagine
Thursday, June 7th, 2012
I know I'm always writing about Jonathan Franzen, and I know I've already clocked in with a report on Freedom, but, well, so. I have to say things.
I reread Freedom. It's still there, people. The words are still there, in the same order, in the same sentences, for 600 pretty consistently mind-blowing pages. How does he make those sentences—those beautiful, glorious, iron-rich sentences, page after page after page? There are killers everywhere, slayers of penetrating genius tossed off in the middle of a paragraph, where most writers bury their duds. THERE IS NO FILLER IN THIS NOVEL. IT MAKES ME ACTUALLY KIND OF INSANE.
In other news, I read Imagine, the new Jonah Lehrer book that you've been hearing about pretty much non-stop if you're a consumer of the liberal elitist media, as naturally I am. And here are my questions:
Would there be a Jonah Lehrer without a Malcolm Gladwell? I guess people were translating capital-S Science for the commoner long before Gladwell, but Lehrer's writing feels very Gladwellian to me, not least because there's a leeetle edge of smugness that creeps its way in.
And why are writers in this vein (at least, Gladwell and Lehrer and seemingly a few others) so unequivocally pro-business? Sure, business is interesting and important and vital to the economy (and I owe my livelihood to it, so no knocks there, believe me). But there's a lot of very unsavory shit going down in the world of commerce these days, and isn't this type of writer supposed to be questioning that?
Case in point: Lehrer goes on and on about innovation and how to create the conditions that inspire it without ever mentioning that some innovations are Very Bad for Humanity. I'm not trying to ruin your day when I mention that, given current levels of consumption, humanity is on a course of self-destruction. But the innovations Lehrer focuses on are almost uniquely material products (including the Swiffer! a prime example of the disposable culture that's killing our planet!) and pretty much never solutions for dealing with the scary mess we're in.
So . . . innovation in the service of what, Mr. Lehrer? is my question.
That said, there's a lot to like in the book. Gobble gobble.

With the rise of awareness and education, consumers are becoming more conscious regarding the sourcing of their produce. When seeking responsibly sourced garlic, look no further than Ken Christopher and his family at Christopher Ranch, the only family-owned garlic farm in the United States. The ranch is rich with family legacy and has its roots deep in the California soil.
Their story began with Ole Christopher who migrated from Denmark in the 1880s in hopes of finding land to settle. His grandson, Don, learned the ropes of farming from his father and grandfather and then bought 10 acres of his own to begin farming garlic. In the past 60 years, Christopher Ranch has scaled those 10 acres into over 5,000,. And last year alone, they harvested 110 million pounds of California Heirloom Garlic. If you were to visit the ranch today, you would find that they are still family owned and operated…brother, father, grandson and cousins working side-by-side to grow and harvest exceptional produce.
While Christopher Ranch is a leading supplier of garlic, they are also invested in making a positive impact in their community. They have provided scholarships for area schools, vehicles for sports programs and even donated Chrome Books to each classroom in a local school.
In the past year, Christopher Ranch has also ignited change in the political arena. Illegal Chinese garlic imports have been an issue for garlic farmers since the 1990s. Hundreds of millions of pounds of garlic illegally make its way into the US each year, pulling down the price of international commodities. Because of Ken Christopher's relentless pursuit of action, on September 24th a new tariff for garlic went into effect.

It is October 1 today. In many countries, October is observed as the Month of Breast Cancer Awareness. Many events are held this month, to make people aware of the disease.
Some organizations hold events like pink ribbon breakfasts or dinners to raise money for research. Many monuments and buildings are light up in pink lights, after a campaign started by Estee Lauder. These include the Eiffel Tower, the White House, the Sydney Opera House and even the Taj Mahal Palace and Towers hotel in India. The pink ribbon is the internationally recognized symbol for breast cancer. It is also worn in memory of those who lost their lives due to complications from this disease.
Some years ago, the company that does Post-its, created pink ones for the cause. The money from the sale of those post-its went to research.
Some well known companies like Avon and Reebok hold special sales and races to raise money for research.
This year too, many events are being held across the world. But perhaps being in the newspaper business, what I think is most significant is what The Herald News is doing. The Herald News has been printed on pink newsprint on October 1. The newspaper and its owners GateHouse Media New England, together with the American Cancer Society and We Got Soccer, will "paint the town pink," to help raise awareness for breast cancer. It will also focus on locals affected by the disease and feature new developments in research. They will donate 10 cents from each pink newspaper sold, to the American Cancer Society.
In India too, a few organizations hold events to create awareness about this disease. The incidence of breast cancer in India is expected to increase by over 200 % by the year 2020. On October 2, over 75 women are getting behind the wheel at the Women's Car Rally 2009, in support of The Forum for Breast Cancer Protection, and NGO. Fleximoms is supporting the event. The rally will be from Delhi to Agra.
On October 4, there is a walk in Chennai, 'One Walk One Hope,' to express solidarity with patients but also to raise awareness.
Everything to make women aware and go for that mammogram and physical examination.

Q: Jenkins Ant Integration When I use Ant build tools with Jenkins. Do I have to use build.xml file in Jenkins as well as in eclipse?
My Jenkin's url is in remote server. It is installed with Ant. Do I also need to install Ant build tool in my local pc?
I am using repository to none. It means source file will come from local PC.
  Please correct me if anything wrong with my understanding.

A: Jenkins would need to access your sources (using the URL of a source repository -- git, mercurial, SVN, ... -- where you would push your work) in order to execute a command.
If that command is ant, that means build.xml must be part of your sources in order for Jenkins to execute ant in the workspace created for the job execution.
And to test that build.xml locally, you need ant as well on your PC.

Home People Military Fred Gisa Rwigema
Fred Gisa Rwigyema (also spelled Rwigema; born Emmanuel Gisa; 10 April 1957 – 2 October 1990) was a founding member of and leader of the Rwandan Patriotic Front, a political and military force formed by Rwandan Tutsi exiles descendants of those forced to leave the country after the 1959 "Hutu" Revolution.
Rwigema was born in Gitarama, in the south of Rwanda. Considered a Tutsi, in 1960 he and his family fled to Uganda and settled in a refugee camp in Nshungerezi, Ankole following the Hutu Revolution of 1959 and the ouster of King Kigeri V.
After finishing high school in 1976, he went to Tanzania and joined the Front for National Salvation (FRONASA), a rebel group headed by Yoweri Museveni, the brother of his friend Salim Saleh. It was at this point that he began calling himself Fred Rwigema. Later that year, he travelled to Mozambique and joined the FRELIMO rebels who were fighting for the liberation of Mozambique from Portugal's colonial power.
In 1979, he joined the Uganda National Liberation Army (UNLA), which together with Tanzanian armed forces captured Kampala in April 1979 and sent Idi Amin to exile.
He later joined Museveni's National Resistance Army (NRA), which fought a guerrilla war against the government of Milton Obote.
After the NRA captured state power in 1986, Rwigema became the deputy Minister of Defence. He was regularly at the front line in northern Uganda during the new government's offensives against remnants of the ousted regime.
On 1 October 1990, Rwigyema led the RPF troops in the first battle against the regime of President Habyarimama Juvenal. On the second day of the struggle, Rwigyema was shot in the head and died, which discouraged the RPF fighters. There is a dispute about the exact circumstances of Rwigyema's death; the official line of Kagame's government, and the version mentioned by historian Gérard Prunier in his 1995 book on the subject, was that Rwigyema was killed by a stray bullet.[1][2] In his later book, however, Prunier states that it is likely Rwigyema was killed by his subcommander Peter Bayingana, following an argument over tactics.[3] Paul Kagame who is now the president of the Republic ofRwanda replaced Rwigyema as the head of the RPF army until the victory in July 1994.
Rwigyema is one of Rwanda's national heroes. His body was buried at the Heroes Cemetery in Kigali.

The mission experience is an important part of the spiritual formation of our students and faculty and exemplifies our school's mission: to demonstrate Christ's love. It also reflects the dual nature of discipleship—to commune with God and go out into the world and serve.
Each year many of our students and faculty sacrifice a week of their summer vacation to work with the City of Children orphanage. They spend their days conducting Vacation Bible School, doing work projects around the City of Children campus, taking food to needy in local villages, and most importantly, playing with the children. Our students' lives are permanently changed from all that they see and experience on this incredible mission.
Nashville Christian School is taking the Good Fight to the poorest zip code in the nation---the Bronx in New York City. Seniors students along with faculty and staff leave for a weeklong mission trip to serve children-at-risk that live in an impoverished part of NYC. Our NYC Mission Team will reach out (and up) to the Shiloh Missions—a Christian not-for-profit ministry dedicated to equipping New York City impoverished children and their families with tools and resources that alter the paths of poverty and violence.

Urinary Calculi and Bariatric Surgery
by Carolyn F. Langford, DO; Verena Mueller; and Gamal M. Ghoniem, MD, FACS
All from Cleveland Clinic Florida
Urolithiasis is a common disease, with a prevalence of 3 to 5 percent in the US. It causes considerable morbidity, occasional mortality, and costs over $1 billion per year for hospital treatment of stones alone and up to $2 billion when including costs associated with lost employment.[1] Patients who have undergone bariatric surgery have an increased incidence of stone formation. Older techniques such as jejunal ileal bypass (JIB) have reported rates of renal oxalate calculi ranging from 4 to 30 percent.[2,10,12]
Modern procedures, such as laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), are suspected to have lower rates of stone formation due to decreased malabsorptive consequences. Studies regarding the newer procedures and urinary calculi are limited; therefore, much of the information must be extrapolated from procedures like the JIB. In order to understand the relationship of stone formation to weight reduction surgery, it is first necessary to understand how stones are formed in other groups, such as obese and non-obese patients, as well as those who have undergone non-surgical weight loss.
THEORIES OF CALCULI FORMATION IN NON-OBESE PATIENTS
Generally speaking, urinary calculi are formed due to excess urinary concentration of stone-forming substances (calcium, oxalate, urate, cystine, phosphate), a decreased concentration of inhibitory substances (citrate, magnesium, certain urinary proteins), and/or super concentrated urine.[3] However, the exact etiologic cascade of events leading to urolithiasis is unknown.
Hypotheses ranging from oxalate-induced renal injury to insufficient urinary inhibitors of calculogenesis, to nidus formation with epitaxy, have been proposed.[4] Crystal formation and growth are common events in the urinary tract of humans. Urine in most humans is saturated with various breakdown products and substances (calcium, oxalate, urate, cystine, phosphate) that can form stones if the upper limit of saturation for a substance is surpassed.[5]
Urinary calculi are comprised of a large variety and combination of different substances. Calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate make up the most common type (75%) of urinary calculi. The next most prevalent types of urinary calculi are struvite or infection stones (15%), uric acid (5-10%), cystine (1%), or some combination of these substances.[6]
Various medical illnesses, such as hyperparathyroidism, renal tubular acidosis, malabsorptive bowel diseases, metabolic disturbances in oxalate, and purine metabolism, may cause stone formation in non-obese patients. Obese patients who have undergone weight loss surgery and subsequently developed urinary calculi should also be evaluated for these illnesses, as their propensity for stone formation may have been a preexisting condition. The individual mechanisms of stone formation for each of these conditions are beyond the scope of this article, but malabsorption and enteric hyperoxaluria are key to stone formation in surgical weight loss.
Enteric hyperoxaluria may occur from certain malabsorptive bowel diseases and cause calcium oxalate stone formation. Chronic diarrheal states, such as Crohn's disease, alter oxalate metabolism. Malabsorption leads to increased intraluminal fat and bile. Intraluminal calcium readily binds to fat, resulting in a saponification process. Urinary calcium levels are usually low (<100mg/24hr), and intraluminal gut calcium that normally would have bound to oxalate is decreased. The unbound oxalate is readily absorbed by a diffusion mechanism that is unaffected by the usual metabolic inhibitors of energy-dependant pumps. Bile salts may increase in oxalate absorption, and subsequent urinary excretion dramatically increases the formation product of calcium-oxalate. This increases the potential for heterogeneous nucleation and crystal growth in the metastable environment. Interestingly, oral calcium treatment is effective and binds to the intraluminal oxalate, limiting its absorption.[6]
THEORIES OF CALCULI FORMATION IN OBESE PATIENTS
Obesity alone has been shown to put men and women at increased risk for kidney stone formation. In a study of three large observational databases of more than 240,000 men and women, obese men (BMI>30) had a relative risk for stone formation of 1.33 compared to men who are not obese. Obese women were found to have a relative risk of up to 2.09.[7]
Obesity, as a result of dietary indiscretion, probable purine gluttony, and possible type 2 diabetes, appears to have a significant role in recurrent stone formation.[8] Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus have insulin resistance affecting ammonia synthesis and lowering urinary pH. Dietary intake may have a significant influence on stone formation. Purine and oxalate intake are well known to increase stone formation and may be ingested in excess in obese patients. Urine volume and concentration is varied in obese patients, and high concentration urine may contribute to stone formation.
Recent studies have also shown obesity to be associated with unique changes in serum and urinary excretion of calcium, phosphate, oxalate, uric acid, cystine, and low urinary pH.[9] It has also been demonstrated that stone recurrence among obese stone formers was significantly higher than in non-obese stone formers.[10] In a small study of 83 obese patients, the most common presenting metabolic abnormalities included hypercalciuria (59%), low urinary volume (58%), and hypocitraturia (54%). This was significantly higher than nonobese nonstone formers and suggested a positive correlation between hypercalciuria, hyperuricosuria, and obesity severity.[3]
An elevated BMI may also present an independent risk factor in IgA nephropathy for progression of vascular, tubular and interstitial lesions.[11] It is known that renal tubular acidosis is associated with stone formation in both obese and non-obese stone formers.
THEORIES OF CALCULI FORMATION IN WEIGHT LOSS WITHOUT SURGERY
Little is documented regarding the impact of rapid or medical weight loss on stone formation. The metabolic consequences are dependant upon the method of weight loss as well as dietary intake during weight loss. High protein diets such as the Atkins diet have been associated with excess purine intake and at times gluttony, which can predispose patients to uric acid stone formation. This diet also can cause ketoacidosis, which lowers urinary pH increasing the possibility of stone formation. In theory, any diet or medication that causes drastic changes in metabolism may create a situation conducive to stone formation.
THEORIES OF CALCULI FORMATION IN BYPASS PATIENTS
It has estimated that the incidence of urinary calculi formation after intestinal bypass surgery such as JIB is 4 to 30 percent.[10,11] On long-term analysis, the interval between JIB and stone formation has a median of four years with a range from one month to nine years. It is interesting to note that the male to female ratio of stone formation is also affected by JIB. In the general population, stone formers have a higher male to female ratio, which reverses after JIB.[13]
Histologic changes have been noted within the kidney of calcium oxalate stone formers. Randall's plaques are interstitial crystal deposition at or near the papillary tip of the kidney and are seen nearly twice as much in calcium oxalate stone formers as in normal kidneys. In a small study evaluating the histology of post-gastric bypass kidneys there were no Randall's plaques noted. Instead these patients had small nodular deposits that appeared to project off the urothelium near the ducts of Bellini.[3] This may indicate a different mechanism of stone formation in these post bypass patients.
One study compares urinary oxalate excretion in patients that have undergone modern weight loss surgery, such as gastric banding or bypass, stone formers who have not had gastric surgery, normal subjects, and those who have had JIB. Patients treated with modern bariatric surgery had oxalate excretions that were 2 to 3 times higher than stone formers and normal subjects of the same gender, and were not significantly different from those found in patients who had undergone JIB. In this study, the mean time from surgery to stone formation was 3.6 years but has been reported from 4 to 42 months.[14,15]
In light of the fact that JIB is no longer performed as the standard of care for weight loss, much can be learned from the effects this procedure has had on these patients' renal function. It has been mentioned that JIB increases urinary oxalate excretion and increases stone formation in these patients. Renal oxalate calculi develop at a rate of between 4 to 30 percent in patients who have undergone JIB. A study by Streem, et al., shows that JIB reversal can normalize 24-hour urinary oxalate levels. Interestingly, it did not normalize urinary citrate, and this may have contributed to recurrent stone formation in these patients until the citrate levels were increased.[15]
Another less understood theory of post-bypass stone formation suggests glycine may contribute to this process. Glycine is an important oxalate precursor and has been shown to increase after bypass surgery. This has been theorized to lead to an increase in endogenous oxalate production and subsequent stone production in these patients.[16]
The literature on malabsorptive procedures clearly shows that both weight loss and adverse metabolic consequences vary with the length of the alimentary and common intestinal limbs.[17] This would suggest that less malabsorptive procedures would have less metabolic consequences and therefore less stone formation.
Nelson, et al., looked at the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in 1,436 patients at the Mayo clinic. He found that 23 patients (14 men and 9 women) developed enteric hyperoxaluria. In these patients, enteric hyperoxaluria was defined by calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis in 21 patients or oxalate nephropathy leading to renal failure in two patients. Although a small number of patients developed renal failure, preoperative evaluation for enteric hyperoxaluria, nephrolithiasis, and oxalate nephropathy is an important consideration when performing gastric bypass surgery.[18]
In another paper by Nelson, et al., the malabsorptive consequences of the "very, very long limb Roux-en-Y" gastric bypass for super obesity was evaluated. This bypass has a much longer Roux limb of 300 to 500cm and a 100cm common channel of distal ileum. They looked at 257 patients with a BMI of greater than 50Kg/m2. One hundred eight-eight patients returned questionnaires with a mean follow-up of 43 months. All patients lost and maintained 35 to 50 percent of excess body weight. Sixteen percent (31) of these patients formed nephrolithiasis postoperatively. Of these patients, 21 had a prior history of urinary calculi, most commonly calcium oxalate. Oxalate nephropathy occurred in two patients, resulting in irreversible renal failure. The exact mechanism of stone formation is unknown but assumed to be similar to other malabsorptive procedures.[19]
See Table 1.
It takes a number of complex factors in order to form urinary calculi. It is also known that malabsorptive procedures, such as JIB, significantly increase the risk of stone formation. It is apparent that more research must be done to determine what effect the modern, less malabsorptive techniques of surgical weight loss have on urinary calculi formation. It will also be important to determine the metabolic effects of rapid as well as non-surgical weight loss on calculi formation. It should be considered that obesity itself increases the chance of stone formation and that most patients undergoing weight loss surgery are at a peak of stone formation in the third to fifth decades of life.

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. 06 Hummer H3 Dash Fuse Box Location. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. 06 Hummer H3 Dash Fuse Box Location. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.

Apple Opens App Design and Development Accelerator in Shanghai
Apple has announced the opening of a new Design and Development Accelerator in Shanghai as part of an effort to support engineering talent and boost growth in China's iOS developer community.
Located in Pudong District, the Accelerator is being launched to give Chinese developers a chance to work closely with Apple experts to enhance their app development skills, learn how to take advantage of the latest Apple software and hardware, and get tips on app marketing and distribution.
"Developers here in China are leading the world with some of the most popular apps on the App Store, and we are proud to be providing this additional support for them," said Enwei Xie, Apple's head of developer relations, Greater China. "From education to health to entertainment, the innovation we see here is incredible and we can't wait to see what these talented developers will come up with next."
The first Accelerator program focused on how to implement Apple's augmented reality technologies, with an in-depth look at the latest updates to ARKit 3, AR Quick Look, Reality Composer, and RealityKit. According to Apple, the range of activities includes lectures, workshops, labs, guest speakers, train the trainers, and networking on a regular basis.
Apple says Greater China has over 2.5 million app developers, and since 2010, local developers have earned over 200 billion RMB through App Store sales, with over 30 percent of those earnings made in the past year alone.
Shanghai's Accelerator follows a similar scheme Apple launched in 2017 in Bangalore, India. To attend programs, attendees must be registered members of the Apple Development Program and have an Apple ID registered in the region.

Q: Magento - Defer Parsing of Combined Javascript File How would I defer parsing of Javascript in magento on a combined JS file?
In System --> Configuration, I have it set so that all JS files are combined into one file.
I found a solution on another thread, which is to use the "defer" keyword on the script tag:
<script type="text/javascript" defer="defer">

I am unsure how to add that to the script tag since the combined JS file is created and added in by Magento.
My question is, how do I add the "defer" keyword into the script tag if all of my JS is combined in a single file?
Or, is there a better, or more easier way to defer parsing of Javascript using another method?
Please don't mark as duplicate, I've checked all of the other threads similar to my question, but the answers don't contain instructions on how to implement, or they simply aren't good answers.
Thank you.

A: As you correctly pointed out the JS lines are generated by Magento. Specifically these are built in app/code/core/Mage/Page/Block/Html/Head.php which is the block behind the head.phtml template.
Inside this block we have the method getCssJsHtml which generates an sprintf template for each CSS or JS reference.
For the JS scripts the template has the following format: <script type="text/javascript" src="%s"%s></script> As we can see it accepts 2 variables. First is the URL and the other is a set of parameters; exactly what we need.
To add parameters to a JS link, is very easy. Simply add <params>defer="defer"</params> in the XML tag which defines the file. For example:
<action method="addJs"><script>mage/cookies.js</script></action>

becomes
<action method="addJs"><script>mage/cookies.js</script><params>defer="defer"</params></action>

Your question though makes a reference to merged JS files. Well, Magento also takes care of that, and merges the files based on their parameters. Meaning if you include some files with the defer parameter, and the others without, Magento will create 2 merge files (one for defer, and one for the others). This is done in the Head.php block file, line 260
foreach ($items as $params => $rows) {
    // attempt to merge
    $mergedUrl = false;
    if ($mergeCallback) {
        $mergedUrl = call_user_func($mergeCallback, $rows);
    }
    // render elements
    $params = trim($params);
    $params = $params ? ' ' . $params : '';
    if ($mergedUrl) {
        $html .= sprintf($format, $mergedUrl, $params);
    } else {
        foreach ($rows as $src) {
            $html .= sprintf($format, $src, $params);
        }
    }
}

As you can see, it groups the files based on their custom parameters (attributes), and merges them.
But be careful when defering JS files. Some of them include functions, plugins, objects that are used inside the templates before the page finishes loading. And as you know defering a JS file means it can load after the HTML has finished loading, so you might end up with Reference error: * is undefined errors


Value My Funnel is a simple tool that's been created to help you calculate the value of your marketing funnel, all the way down to what each visitor to your site is worth.
After entering some basic data, it delivers a personalized report, along with goal projections based on your own numbers.
Would you recommend Value My Funnel to a friend?
Most businesses don't have a solid understanding of their metrics and numbers. This is especially true about their funnel(s). This tool helps you to understand those funnels numbers.
Chad Belletete has used this product for one week.
Extremely easy to use! I do wish on the last screen - maybe after I put in my email I could play with it and let me set a target revenue number.
Jimmy Moncrief has never used this product.
Love this idea. If you don't know these numbers, it's hard to optimize!
@mijustin Was hoping you'd chime in :-) Knowing these number is a must, I'd argue. Especially if you're paying for traffic. Whenever I decide to focus on increasing conversions – whether it be visitor -> subscriber, subscriber -> customer, etc. – I always start by coming up with a value for each stage of the funnel and benchmarking any CRO experiments against them.
This is awesome, Brennan. Congrats on the launch!
@delk Thanks Ryan! And thanks for all the advice you've given us over the last few months.
Jason Zook@jasondoesstuff · I do weird things on the Internet.
@jasondoesstuff Thanks so much, Jason! We're excited - we haven't yet programatically built out a fully personalized email course, so this is our first go doing that. I think being able to fuse data with traditionally static content (like an email course) is going to make what we're teaching result in many more "a ha!" moments.
@jasondoesstuff Hey, I know that ^^ guy. :) Great to cross paths again Mr. Zook. You are 100% correct ... understanding the numbers is only step 1, but a MUST as Brennan mentioned. Step 2 is putting things into motion to increase your funnel values without having to increase your traffic. Thanks, Jason!
This is so cool!! Love it. Personalization is the future of marketing.
Thanks for hunting us, @kwdinc! Heya Product Hunt! I'm one of the co-founders of RightMessage, and we've been working on a free calculator that makes it easy to put a value on each stage of your sales funnel (prospect -> lead -> customer) A lot of businesses don't know their numbers ("what's the value of a newsletter subscriber?", "what can you afford to spend to get someone to your website?"), so hopefully this tool will make figuring that out a bit easier. After doing some number crunching, we deliver a report with some ideas on how to increase conversions for each stage of the funnel, and include an optional, fully-personalized email course that walks through all the tactics we recommend. We're still refining bits of how we generate the report, and don't have it syncing in real-time with conversion averages from RightMessage (we've hardcoded sample data for now) – but if you have any questions or suggestions for us, ask below!
