Accenture Cloud First launches with $3 billion investment
Written on Monday, 21 September 2020 12:33
Accenture announced the formation of Accenture Cloud First with a $3 billion investment over three years to help clients across all industries rapidly become "cloud first" businesses and accelerate their digital transformation to realize greater value at speed and scale. Karthik Narain will lead Accenture Cloud First and join the Global Management Committee, effective October 1.
Accenture is recognized as a leading partner to the world's major cloud providers. With approximately $11 billion in cloud revenue in its fiscal year 2019, Accenture's leadership spans from Software as a Service—delivered through the company's Intelligent Platform Services—to its migration, infrastructure and application cloud services. More than 100,000 Accenture cloud professionals help clients shape, move, build and operate their businesses in the cloud and realize the cloud's business value, speed, cost, talent and innovation benefits.
"COVID-19 has created a new inflection point that requires every company to dramatically accelerate the move to the cloud as a foundation for digital transformation to build the resilience, new experiences and products, trust, speed and structural cost reduction that the ongoing health, economic and societal crisis demands—and that a better future for all requires," said Julie Sweet, chief executive officer, Accenture. "Accenture Cloud First and our substantial investment demonstrate our commitment to delivering greater value to our clients when they need it most. Digital transformation requires cloud at scale, and post-COVID leadership requires that every business become a 'cloud first' business."
Accenture Cloud First is a new multi-service group of 70,000 cloud professionals that brings together the full power and breadth of Accenture's industry and technology capabilities, ecosystem partnerships, and deep commitment to learning and upskilling clients' employees and to responsible business, with the singular focus of enabling organizations to move to the cloud with greater speed and achieve greater value for all their stakeholders at this critical time. Specifically, this new group integrates the company's wide-ranging cloud expertise, including cloud migration, infrastructure, and application services and ecosystem partnerships; deep industry and cross-industry insights, data and Applied Intelligence capabilities; Accenture Interactive's leading experience design skills; and insights from the company's unmatched experience in modernizing and operating large IT estates and key business processes across finance, HR, marketing, supply chain and specific industries for leading global companies. This operational experience at scale is critical to ensuring companies realize value from their cloud and digital transformation. Edge computing, integrated with the cloud, also will be a key focus area.
Accenture Cloud First also combines world-class learning and talent development expertise; deep experience in cloud change management; and cloud-ready operating models with a commitment to responsible business by design—with security, data privacy, responsible use of artificial intelligence, sustainability and ethics and compliance built into the fundamental changes Accenture helps companies achieve.
Accenture's $3 billion investment will be used to continue advancing—often together with its cloud and broader technology ecosystem partners—industry roadmaps, data models, and solutions; cloud AI data and AI architectures; integrated full-stack infrastructure and applications capabilities; cloud tools, assets, and automation to drive lower unit cost and innovation; and research and development in edge computing and related cloud technologies.
Karthik Narain will lead Accenture Cloud First. A technology industry veteran based in Silicon Valley, Narain most recently served as the lead for Accenture Technology in North America, helping guide Global 2000 brands in using the power of the cloud and other technologies to transform their businesses. Over his 20-year career, he has led many innovative technology programs for clients across a variety of industry sectors, including Software & Platforms, Financial Services and High Tech. Karthik also previously led Technology services for Accenture's Communications, Media and High Tech industry segments.
"Cloud is the most disruptive and value-creating technology of our time—it is the foundation for the digital transformation that is driving profound changes in how businesses operate, compete and create value for all their stakeholders," said Paul Daugherty, group chief executive, Accenture Technology. "With most businesses currently at only about 20% in the cloud, moving to 80% or more rapidly and cost effectively is a massive change that requires a bold new model. Accenture Cloud First, along with our $3 billion investment and our market-leading Software as a Service capabilities in Intelligent Platform Services, ensures that we provide our clients with value, speed and innovation in every part of their cloud journey."
"The acceleration to new levels of digital performance by companies requires a transformation of talent across the enterprise to achieve truly new ways of competing, operating and serving customers," said Annette Rippert, group chief executive, Accenture Strategy and Consulting. "We believe that helping our clients purposefully build the core skills they need and quickly adopt new ways of working is essential to achieve value moving to the cloud. Accenture Cloud First brings our strong capabilities in driving change and developing talent not only for our clients but also for Accenture—we are already 95% in the cloud, and in FY19, we invested $1 billion in developing our people."
Today's announcement comes as worldwide demand for cloud computing has skyrocketed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Gartner, the worldwide public cloud services market is forecast to grow 6.3% in 2020 to total $257.9 billion, up from $242.7 billion in 2019. "When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, there were a few initial hiccups but cloud ultimately delivered exactly what it was supposed to," said Sid Nag, research vice president at Gartner. "It responded to increased demand and catered to customers' preference of elastic, pay-as-you-go consumption models."

Mindcrime II is the Hyde to the original's Jekyll. The Goliath to the original's David. Meatier and modern, but inferior in every plausible department. The songwriting sucks, the musicianship is nowhere near as impressive, and unlike its consistent and cohesive forerunner, the album feels more like an attempt to offer the more 'eclectic' Queensrÿche experience via 'open minded' and 'worldly' composition rather than a unified architecture. They might have gotten Pamela Moore to reprise her role as Mary for this, and the late Ronny James Dio to take over Dr. X, but neither can help compensate for the lack of Chris DeGarmo, and even mindless of the recent drama between Tate and the other members, through which it has been revealed that the band was not evenly invested in its creation (for this or the albums surrounding it). Worst of all, Operation: Mindcrime II reeks of some banal attempt for the band to execute a 180 back to the style that originally put them on the metal map...only this is, for the most part, manifest through the title alone.
Last weeks theoretical minutes from the meeting of a band that next to no one had cared about in a long time: Our star is long past rising, folks. In fact it's sinking faster than a ten ton turd in a swimming pool. How do we turn this around? Well, what's our best album? Empire, dude! *the band laughs, the management smirks* Well, then, Operation: Mindcrime, the rest of the members agreed in unison. Yeah, yeah, I dig it, claims the singer, stroking his chin while giving his best Sartre impersonation. I'm not really into that metal music bag anymore, but the kids seem to want it. I've a few ideas. We can make it even more 'street' than the original, and use real orchestration than just keyboards. We've got enough in the budget. But it can't sound like Tribe, say the rest. We need more metal elements again, like the old days. Yes, yes, the BRAND will rise again. We'll get some TV spots, and merchandise rolling pronto...lighters, headbands, and maybe even Dr. X tees. But, Geoff, you know we don't have Chris in the band now, right? Ah, shit, well let's just scrape it together, man. Pull it together. This is the Jesus Christ of undertakings. We are saved. Saved!
All supposition aside, though, it was really inevitable. I wouldn't have been surprised to discover that the band had thoughts of a Mindcrime II since shortly after the original. I'm sure they received countless fan requests for that very thing down through the years, the only question is why it didn't happen earlier? Very simply, because this band was more concerned with tapping into the commercial success of the original's followup, Empire, and took this imperative far beyond the reasonable, leaving us with a string of ineffectual refuse like Hear in the Now Frontier and Q2K. To their credit, the Queensrÿche of the 21st century does their utmost to make this a heavier effort than the 4-5 leading up to it. That's about as far as the album's successes take it: songs like "Re-arrange You", "I'm American" manage to evince more aggression than anything I can recall of Tribe or Q2K. The incorporation of the symphony also feels natural with the loud, abrasive production of the album, not unlike Judas Priest's weakly Nostradamus. Queensrÿche went big for this, pulling out all the stops, and attempting to conjure the grandeur they'd lacked for almost two decades.
Unfortunately, no one reminded the band that this effort would be entirely misspent without the great songs that defined the first Mindcrime, and what we've got is a fraction of mediocre rhythms buried in a hulking heap of underdeveloped feces. The riffs suck throughout, juvenile note progressions you'd hear from any rehearsal room anywhere in America where some axeslinger is just fucking around (not even planning to use them). The muddied guitar tone here lacks gravity and power beyond the visceral, and the band keep a lot of their alt rock and grunge influences patterns in play, a handful of tracks like "A Junkie's Blues" reminding me once more of something left on the cutting floor by the Stone Temple Pilots. Really, Mindcrime II seems to have no precise idea of what it wants to be. Some songs want to be rock, some metal, some rock opera ballads cashing in on the "Silent Lucidity" idea but falling well shy of that song's consistent catchiness. For example, the finale/duet "All the Promises", with Tate and Moore playing off one another in their respective characters, is laughable tripe; "If I Could Change It All" trying its hand at the spacious 80s Pink Floyd aesthetic (which Queensrÿche had used on the prior albums) and conjuring boring drama.
The whole album lacks the poignancy and domineering melody of the original, and instead feels like a group of festive old farts leaping around to a selection of raucous distorted rock riffs. Tate can still scream, he proves this in a few of the pieces like "Re-arrange You", or his duet with Dio in "The Chase", which is sadly supported by some of the most mediocre guitars on the record, but in general he seems like he's putting too much effect on his tracks to make up for a slightly diminished power to his delivery ("Signs Say Go", for example). That seamless clarity and pitch from Rage for Order and Mindcrime has unraveled, and beyond that, the melodies in his lines have little impact. There isn't a single chorus on Mindcrime II that I can say captured me whatsoever, never mind with the surge of urgency and emotion in a "Speak" or "Eyes of a Stranger". A lot of backup shouts are used in tracks like "Murderer?" to make up for the lack of a hook, but they just sound silly rather than the menace exuding from a lot of the tough guy gang core.
A few of the leads and melodies show a modicum of skill and harmony ("I'm American", "The Hands"), but they don't really jive with the rest of their surrounding tracks, and stand out like sore thumbs. Supposedly some of the guitars were re-tracked at the last minute by one of the assistant engineers on the records, so it's unclear exactly who is playing what throughout, and Stone and Wilton were clearly under utilized. I've also read that Scott Rockenfield was absent here. Regardless, whatever person is drumming here is hitting with the about the same strength under such a mire of creativity, but I actually didn't enjoy how loud he was compared to the guitars on much of the album. Jackson has some freedom here, and he does his best to ground the punch of the guitars and the dominance of the vocals, but really, there's no room for him to vastly improve on such a cruddy selection of note progressions.
Lyrically, though the first Mindcrime wasn't exactly poetry in motion, this still seems a step down, a tired series of cliches that one can experience in just about any rock or pop song. Again, a listener can displace most of the individual tracks from the concept and appreciate them for any personal relevance, but there were no clever phrases here that caught my attention. The story itself takes place nearly almost two decades after the first (equivocal with the gap between album releases), and it deals with the primary perspective character Nikki getting his revenge on Dr. X and struggling through a downward spiral that leads to conversation's with Mary's ghost and all this other typical nonsense. It never needed a sequel, the story as it plays out is all too predictable, and it might have been better just to leave the original alone, with a more ambiguous ending. Even if the sequel was fucking Faust-level Goethe quality, though, the music is middling garbage that did not deserve a release under this banner.
Operation: Mindcrime II is terrible, and even if I could muster no expectations towards it due to the band's record of mediocrity post-1994, it still arrived as a great disappointment. Because, really, that's that. This part of the saga is canonized, and it's never going away, like the memory of putting on vomit-soaked socks one hungover morning. It will stink forever and it will sting forever.
Verdict: Fail [2.25/10] (reasons are damned)

It is strange that my first visit to Scandinavia was work-related and definitely not at a time of my choosing. I remember when I was about to be sent to Norway in January, I had visions of myself in a cryogenic experiment where defrosting me back to resuscitation would have taken years.
For someone who has spent more than half his life in temperate Europe, you should have heard my shrill pleadings that I am from the Tropics, I prevailed and really, I told my manager, if I was not in Sweden by the end of October, it would be Summer before I embark on an Arctic journey.
That is the impression you get about Scandinavia, extreme and on the edge of a crevice, one false step and you are in the bottomless oblivion of the coldest darkest place only to be recovered like poor Tutankhamen some 3,000 years in the future.
Anyway, it was not all that bad really, I have decided, part of my 2008 itinerary would be Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland, though apart from the land that makes up Denmark excluding Greenland, the other 3 countries are really large expanses of land, one could be deluded into thinking the world ends at the northern reaches of the Netherlands beyond which – dragons be there.
As I came through Arlanda airport in Stockholm, the walls were covered with pictures of famous Swedes and you suddenly realise you do have to be informed of who is really of Swedish descent beyond Brigit Nilson, Bjorn Borg, Annika Sorenstam, Sven Goran Eriksson and ABBA.
There was a bit of disorder at the taxi ranks where on the left we had the licensed hackneys and the right had the suspect hailers, not that I saw the difference between the taxis, but on the advice of another traveler, I kept to the left.
I was prepared for Sweden, I had informed a Nigerian blogger (Adeola) living in Stockholm that I was visiting for a night and wondered if he would be free and available, gladly he obliged – he runs the Thy Glory O Nigeria blog space.
I got to the office just before noon, there was a temporary scare when the first tow hosts I mentioned at reception were not available, I saw the face of the receptionist go white and red as I phoned Amsterdam to remonstrate that I had just travelled 800 miles into tundra and my hosts were absence without leave – that was remedied a few minutes later.
We got straight into the business of the day and as it got to 14:00hrs, I had to ask if the Swedes ever had lunch, somehow, they assumed I would have had grass-based baked dough with filling enough to make you vomit your feet from inside out as my lunch – I would not however pass judgment on the hospitality of Sweden, the folk were pleasant enough.
It was dark by 16:00hrs or thereabouts and my hotel was supposed to be down the road and as the day closed, I found myself walking through a tunnel and down a dark and lonely road wondering how I ended up down this path in the middle of nowhere, but the company I work for scrimps and scrapes in the most miserly fashion, there are times I have had to vehemently force them up-market to an acceptable standard.
Apparently, a friend of Adeola works at the hotel which is Scandinavian staple and my room had been upgraded, well, it was apparently – I travel too much to be appreciative of subtleties like this – I apologise.
Then I found I could get a voucher for get online for free only to find that I had to go down to reception to get the voucher – and this a 4-star hotel – I think NOT!
Other hotels in the group I have been to in other countries South have a notice at reception announcing this kind of offer such that one does not have to halt from the far-end of the top-most floor for a voucher that is probably best paid for than suffer the fuss acquiring an entitlement – better still, the reception should ask guests if they would require the service at check-in, just as some ask if guests would take breakfast or use the health facilities.
The room was comfortable and there was at least one English news channel, so, I was fine with that.
Adeola and Louise the lady would works at the hotel arrived about 20:00 and we decided to go into Stockholm to see some sights and have a meal. Adeola's knowledge of the roads was exemplary, well, enough to make a comedy sketch titled – "Right here, left there and just straight on" – but for Louise, who knows, I might have had opportunity to plant three flags at the North Pole – Nigerian, British and Dutch.
Not to forget, my stomach was still big trouble for me, there were times I could not keep a poker-face for the pain I was suffering but I ventured on something Swedish at a restaurant in town.
The dish was diced beef, diced potatoes and onions, then a smallish ramekin of egg-yolk – just the kicker to make you see everything again, I said – that was put at arms-length to the meal.
It did however reinforce the generalisation I have held that the further north you go from the Mediterranean the less the colour in the national foods on offer; more so, I was thinking I would be served elk – anyway, considering how cold it gets up North one wonders if chickens have to be shorn of their feathers in the spring like sheep – the crazy thoughts one has about these places.
It was a beautiful clam night and we visited the old palace and even witnessed the changing of the guard, those uniforms most have internal thermal regulation – the things we do for king and country.
When I returned to the hotel, I was glad I did not rely on my hosts to have a social dimension to their abilities which would have been different if I had visited France or Spain – maybe human warmth does depend on nominal regional weather patterns.
Adeola has written a book about Nigeria and there is no doubt that he is a believer that the country not only has potential, but there are possibilities that could be exploited in these times.
I need to take more time to read it through, maybe when I am in Barcelona next week, but as I read the first few pages, it clearly exemplified the sad case of a country with great potential and people but a political situation that fails to inspire and lead towards achieving the greatness usually ascribed to Nigeria.
This is no apologia and it can be mistakenly read as a polemic by those who cannot objectively accept the facts and seek solutions – indeed, as a Nigerian, it is probably more comfortable to go aggressively onto the defensive even when our position is patently indefensible.
The Entrapment of a Nation shows how poor governance, rotten representation, a seemingly national mindset in the quest for money at all costs without commendable virtue and complacency with a corrupt political order keeps Nigeria entrapped in low achievement despite our vast resources – but optimism, hope and faith abounds.
Adeola seeks the glory of the great nation of Nigeria, he represents a growing community of smart young Nigerians whose expectations of the country would no doubt lift that country out of its quagmire a lot earlier than many of us sceptics have predicted or surmised – they seek a common good around which we can rally for making Nigeria great for all the good reasons in the world.
My copy is signed by the author.
How was I to know that my hotel was on the shores of a picturesque lake? My realisation at breakfast which was rushed so that I could start the day early – Scandinavia needs another visit and this would be 2008 – Deo volente.

Are forest climate mitigation strategies one-size-fits-all?
by Jeff Atkins, Public Library of Science
The IPCC's Fifth Assessment lists sustainable harvesting as having the most significant climate mitigation benefit for the world's forests. This view has been widely embraced, from the media to forest managers. However, researchers from Australian National University and Griffith University show this may not be a one-size-fits-all strategy. In their October, 2015 article in PLOS ONE, "Under what circumstances do wood products from native forests benefit climate change mitigation?", Heather Keith, David Lindenmayer, Andrew MacIntosh, and Brendan Mackay examine different scenarios of forest management and their effects on climate mitigation and find that a strategy that maintains and conserves native forests while moving timber and wood products to existing plantations offers the most significant climate mitigation benefit in the case of two Australian forest types.
Forests serve to mitigate climate by storing carbon. As a forest develops and matures, it not only stores carbon in the standing biomass (a tree is half carbon—so the bigger the tree, the more carbon that is being stored), trees also expand root systems and facilitate carbon storage in forest soils through the accumulation of soil organic matter, humus, and litter on the forest floor. Mature forests often have dense canopies that create cooler environments within the forest, allowing litter and organic matter to build up, furthering the storage of carbon in various forest pools.
In a mixed eucalyptus forest in the South Coast of New South Wales, Keith et al. estimate that conserving the forest and using plantations to create wood products increases the forest carbon accumulation rate between 5-10%. In mountain ash forests of the central highlands of Victoria, they estimate this method to increase carbon accumulation by 40-50%. While the research is informed by two Australian case studies, a wide range of published forest parameters and values were used in the model and, in the assertion of the researchers, these findings are likely relevant for native forests, world-wide, with the largest climate mitigation benefits in the first 100 years following implementation.
At left, total carbon stocks in an Australian eucalyptus forest under current harvest. At right, total carbon stocks using both plantations and conservation strategies. As the conservation model approaches 100 years, more carbon is stored in the forest, but the reference scenario remains static (adapted from Keith et al. 2015).
An increase in carbon accumulation of 40-50% over other harvest methods is a substantial amount. When we think of the range of native forests in other countries and the potential for conservation, the appeal of this strategy is evident. Not only are there the direct mitigation benefits of preserving native forests, but potentially other significant ecological and social benefits for preserving native forests—from preservation of biodiversity to increased opportunities for recreation and tourism.
"Native forests are most valuable for mitigation when conserved because their biomass carbon stocks continue accumulating under natural ecosystem processes of regeneration and growth." – Keith et al. 2015
The conservation strategy outlined by Keith et al. not only depends on conserving the native forests and allowing them to mature, but also on utilizing existing plantations to produce the supply of wood products needed to offset the supply lost by taking native forests out of the production cycle.
Wood products typically produce fewer greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than non-wood, more fossil fuel intensive alternatives. Wood products also have the benefit, again since wood is 50% carbon, of serving as a primary unit of carbon storage. Moving wood production to plantations rather than native forests also limits GHG emissions through the streamlining of the process as plantation forestry is more streamlined.
"The efficiency of plantation production is demonstrated by the total carbon dioxide emissions for logs from softwood plantations being 50–75% less than for hardwood logs from native regrowth forests in Australia. Emissions per cubic metre of log harvested from Australian native hardwood forests were estimated to be among the highest in the world [61]. Carbon storage can be maximised in plantations by increasing the proportion of merchantable biomass, efficiency of processing, and longevity and recycling of products." – Keith et al. 2015
It is likely, given the agreement reached among nearly 200 nations at COP21 this past week, that forest conservation as a climate mitigation tool will be rather popular. The COP21 agreement not only highlights the needs for incentives to avert further deforestation, but also includes specific language on utilizing conservation and sustainable management to conserve forests and bolster forest carbon stocks. While the inclusion of forest conservation may be partly attributable to the need to exclude language from the agreement regarding greenhouse gas neutrality, it is still a promising step.
Strongest sinks of carbon are in dynamic landscapes

Post update problem with web viewer - Got a Question - Alfred Center | get the most out of the best home security app!
Web Viewer has worked somewhat ok for the last couple months. Now since updating the app on my Microsoft surface pro running Alfred through Blue Stacks (Camera) my Samsung S9 (Viewer) works fine, but the Web Viewer on my other computer (2nd viewer) gives the "Camera Offline 7007" error, and will not connect.
I have deleted history and cookies on the computer. Logging out and then back in. I've tried to log in from an incognito window which does not work to fix the problem either.
Is there anything else I am able to try to get the Web Viewer on this computer to connect to my camera??
During the set up of my devices I read all instructions & information as thoroughly as possible. There is a setting for deciding the actions incoming viewers of Always Accept/Owner always Accept/deny any. So it is my understanding that there can only be 1 viewer at a time.
Whenever you experience issues with Web-based stuff, try alternate browsers.
I have Chrome, Firefox, Waterfox, Edge. All three have same issue then its a computer issue such as plugin or driver usually.
Device Model Name: It's a built desktop.
And your webviewer is not working on either Firefox or Chrome? Just to clarify.
Further to the thread, right picture is from my viewer app, left is from the webviewer. taken at the same time. like 5 mins ago.
Further to that, if it was a flash or java issue, they wouldnt push out a release of the app if flash/java release wasnt out yet to the public. If they did, thats bad programming. Thats like releasing a video game on a brand new engine that no computer is able to use. No one does that.
Simmer Simmer, Because your android works and not PC, that tells me its probably flash and java, but lets try one thing before you go verify for me your java and flash is updated.
Log back in to Viewer.
If not Flash and Java %99. Unless 7007 error means no internet, then I have a different idea as well, just bear with me. I'll get you up and running again.
You do all those and, all are up to date, and you still have problems try different emulator if that's whats is having viewing issues. But you shouldn't be having PC browser issues with everything updated.
Your using the PC browsers for viewing correct, not the emulator droid browser. You just got cameras hooked up to the emulator and use a browser to view on same pc as the emulator?
How diid you make out?
Woah. I thought I had technical difficulties! Holy I just got a glimpse of the shadow of my ignorance when it comes to devices & all etc.
I really am very impressed with how the support team works.
Thank you Ricardo, I logged in this morning and everything worked fine. No changes were made to any of my fully updated (java and flash) devices… I've logged into the webviewer with no issues. So what ever was done on your end worked great for my issue.
Glad to hear that the problem no longer exists. Our engineers found a bug yesterday and fixed it right away.
Thanks again for reporting the issue here and help us identify it. If you have any further question/feedback, feel free to contact us at any time!

Herring defeats Arnold, claims spot on Warren County Board of Supervisors
By Terri Cowart Frazier
Published 8:40 pm Tuesday, November 5, 2019
A wave that started in the party primaries in August continued Tuesday as another incumbent on the Warren County Board of Supervisors was unseated.
In the race for the District 1 seat on the Warren County Board of Supervisors, incumbent John Arnold was defeated by Ed Herring. Unofficial results Tuesday evening gave Herring a 926-vote victory.
"I feel really good. It's been a lot of work and a lot of help from a lot of people," Herring said. "It's been a good night."
Herring lost to Arnold in the 2015 general election for District 1 supervisor.
"I think listening to the people; listening to their concerns and talking about their concerns," Herring said as to why he believes he was victorious Tuesday. "I also believe that it was the attitude we adopted of not just going with the flow or excepting failure."
Arnold was surprised by the size of Herring's win.
"I am surprised that it was that big of a gap. I thought it would be closer," Arnold said. "But, that is what elections are for; for people to elect people to represent them"
Arnold said he congratulated Herring and offered his help in any way.
"He will do a good job. He will provide good representation to the district," Arnold said. With all of the boxes reporting, Herring received 1,985 votes to Arnold's 1,059 votes. The unofficial totals do not include absentee votes. In District 1, a total of 208 absentee ballots were received.

The VA just released the latest results, some 3,174 Veterans have been notified of their test results after being exposed to improperly sterilized endoscopy equipment. Veterans in Tennessee, Georgia and South Florida, some 10,555 veterans, were potentially exposed to HIV, and Hepatitis. As of this date 17 exposed veterans have tested positive, 1 with HIV, 11 with Hepatitis C and 5 with Hepatitis B.
So we repeat our earlier call that all potentially exposed veterans PLEASE get tested, either at the VA or with your private doctor. Also, get a copy of ALL your medical records and hospital records from the VA.
WASHINGTON, April 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has announced 3,174 Veterans have already been notified of the results of testing they underwent recently; that testing was conducted because of improperly reprocessed endoscopy equipment that may have been used in their care. These Veterans, in the Tennessee, Georgia and South Florida areas were among 10,555 Veterans sent letters offering free testing.
VA patients, who believe that they may have been exposed to cross contamination, were patients that received endoscopic procedures at the VA's Murfreesboro, Tenn., facility from April 2003 to December 2008 and the VA's Augusta, Ga., hospital from January 2008 to November 2008 and the VA's Miami hospital from May 2004 to March 2009.
As of April 1, 2009, 17 Veterans have tested positive for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or the Human Immunodeficiency (HIV) Virus. Five Veterans tested positive for Hepatitis B virus; eleven for Hepatitis C; and one for HIV. Of the positive test results, eleven were tested at VA's Murfreesboro, Tenn., facility, and six were tested at VA's Augusta, Ga., hospital. These results do not indicate that there is any relationship between these patients' conditions and the endoscopy procedures they underwent. However, VA is conducting an epidemiologic investigation to look into the possibility of such a relationship.
While reviews indicate that the transmission of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C virus as a result of endoscopy procedures is extremely small and that transmission of HIV through endoscopy has never been reported, VA will appropriately counsel and care for these patients, no matter what the source of their infections may be.
VA is continuing the process of testing and counseling Veterans who may be affected by this issue. The Department has added additional personnel at its Murfreesboro, Augusta and Miami hospitals to ensure that affected Veterans receive prompt testing and appropriate counseling. It is attempting to locate individuals whose letters have been returned as undeliverable, and to reach out to homeless Veterans with no known address. Affected Veterans are notified about their test results as soon as their results are verified.
VA is committed to reducing and preventing inadvertent harm to our patients as a result of their care. The Department is a leader in the health care industry in developing and nurturing a culture of safety at all its facilities. Patient safety managers at all 153 VA hospitals lead VA's 280,000 employees in efforts to reduce and eliminate harm.
VA patients and their families may call 1-877-575-7256, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for additional information.


"As a company that made its trademark on innovation and creativity, we looked for a horizon-broadening workshop..
We were blown away by our first session with Eyal and his authentic reflections about the company. In one moment, all our paradigms were undermined and we gained new insight on our professional and personal behavior. Following the success of the process, our management decided that in a company such as ours, where people and employees are viewed as a critical factor for success, a long-term process with Eyal is necessary. A creativity-developing workshop of several sessions brought substantial breakthroughs in the employees. We have experienced countless workshops in the past, but Eyal has the ability to analyze people and tasks with great sensitivity, to look at problems from another angle and identify opportunities for growth.
Thank you for an exceptional experience!"


This week we were tasked to finish our radio show with our groups, and this is a post summarizing how that went for the week. This week, Just Zaying was kind enough to put the final product of the radio show together, after we had each given him our work for it, including our segments for the news show, commercials, and radio bumpers. At first it was difficult for us all to coordinate this because all of our schedules are so different and it was fall break, but we managed to get it done by Wednesday this week!
For my segment on the news show, I chose to create a Breaking News story in which my character, the vampire and surgeon Callen Zelrich was arrested for a suspected homicide which was rumored to be committed by a vampire, given the condition of the body. It also includes some interview from opposing sides that both praise Cal and accuse him, to show the public's divided opinion on the matter. I didn't think making a radio show would be something I ever did or enjoyed, but actually it was pretty fun to do. I first made a script and then recorded the parts of it, adding in some music and I tried my hand at changing my voice, to make it deeper, to sound like one of the male characters I was interviewing on the show. I used this tutorial to do that and while it doesn't really sound like a man (I tried), it does sound distinct from the other voices and certainly deeper.
I think it turned out well in the end! Here's my segment of the show.
Next, here's my group, the Super Storyteller's full radio show! It's a news show that includes all of our different segments and characters and it turned out awesome thanks to everyone's hard work the past two weeks. Give it a listen!

Q: C++ - Destructor is called more times than expected Consider the following piece of code:
class C1
{   public:

        C1(){ cout<<"CONSTR WAS HERE"<<endl; }

        C1(const C1&ob){ cout<<"COPY CONSTR WAS HERE"<<endl; }

        ~C1(){ cout<<"DESTR WAS HERE"<<endl; }
}

void f1(C1 x){  }

int main()
{
    C1 c1;
    f1(c1);
}

If we run the code as it is, we get:
CONSTR WAS HERE
COPY CONSTR WAS HERE
DESTR WAS HERE
DESTR WAS HERE

Which is perfectly understandable from my point of view. However, if we modify the function "f1" to:

C1 f1(C1 x){  }

instead of

void f1(C1 x){  }

we get:
CONSTR WAS HERE
COPY CONSTR WAS HERE
DESTR WAS HERE
DESTR WAS HERE
DESTR WAS HERE

and I am not quite sure why.

A: Modify C1 f1(C1 x){} to actually return something and your output will be as expected (Demo)
C1 f1(C1 x){ return {};}

CONSTR WAS HERE
  COPY CONSTR WAS HERE
  CONSTR WAS HERE
  DESTR WAS HERE
  DESTR WAS HERE
  DESTR WAS HERE

Otherwise your code exhibits undefined behavior.

A: Enable your warnings:

warning: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Wreturn-type]

You have undefined behavior in your program, which means that anything can happen. The compiler is likely "returning an undefined instance of C1 here", which causes the destructor to be called.
The program might crash or do anything else depending on your compiler/flags/machine.

Summer is a very busy season in the countryside and this film captures all the action at the farm in real life. The story of summer involves Tractor Ted visiting the favourite of all farm machines, the Combine Harvester. He sees how the big reel at the front feeds the crop onto the cutters and how the grain fills the big tank at the back. Then more machines arrive to collect the grain as it flows out of the long spout. The straw is then scooped up by a really big baler to use for the cows bedding in the wintertime. Another important summer job is the sheep shearing and Tractor Ted is there to explain what the shearers are doing, how the fleece makes wool and why the sheep need to lose that woolly coat to stay cool and healthy. One of the top tunes of any Ted DVD accompanies the visit to see the huge excavator digging a new area. 'I am an Excavator' is one of the top children's nursery rhyme known across the Tractor Ted world!

From the mud hut to a palace
Home / Blog / From the mud hut to a palace
By Isaac Msiska
For an individual living in the remotest part of Dowa district and struggling to keep his family going financially, Kondwani never thought he would be able to be 'his own boss'. The idea that one day he would manage to earn more than 100 thousand Kwacha and live in a decent house never occurred to him and, to a certain extent, it sounded ridiculous. Kondwani's old life revolved around working in maize farms as a labourer and sometimes acting as a middleman by connecting buyers to tobacco farmers. These jobs were too involving and barely made him enough to cater for most of his basic needs. Kondwani had no alternative because these were the only readily available employment opportunities that he was able to find, which is not surprising since the majority of the community that he hails from largely rely on farming. 20-year-old Kondwani lives deep down in a village where farming employs about 90 percent of the informal workforce.
So, to survive Kondwani moved around the village, toiling in gardens and farms and helping clients from the city buy tobacco from village farmers. This went on for six years after he completed secondary school. It was a hard life but it was all he could do.
"The pay was low but the jobs were very difficult," Kondwani admits, saying that most often he was never paid his wages on time which affected his financial status. Since the money he earned from the small-time jobs was meagre, sometimes Kondwani had to work multiple jobs to make at least a slightly higher earning, which was tough. At that time, the little he made kept him going for a while but everything changed in 2013 when Kondwani married and had a kid. He realized that he could no longer rely on irregular jobs. He was now head of a family with a wife and kid looking up to him for support. His new family brought with it a new, and heavy, responsibility and he either had to increase the number of odd jobs he did to make even more money or switch to a different stable job that could earn him a decent pay.
"I knew that time had come for me to find a permanent source of income. I had to find a job that could give me enough money to take care of my family's welfare," Kondwani explained.
However, the difficult question was how to source that permanent source of income. The problem was that Kondwani possessed a secondary school certificate and in Malawi this is a low-end qualification which can hardly enable one to get decent employment. His other option was to launch a business but that was out of the question because Kondwani lacked the financial muscle to establish even the smallest form of business. Besides that, he comes from a rural setting where poverty levels are extremely high and bars people from venturing into businesses.
"…and there was nowhere I could go to obtain a loan. I did not have any surety I could use to secure a loan and that was enough reason to keep me away from approaching institutions that provide loans." he disclosed. Without financial capability to start a business, a qualification that could not guarantee a well-paying job, a family that was in desperate need of his support and no possible solution in sight, Kondwani's fate was hanging in limbo.
In 2016 Kondwani's unhappy events took an unexpected U-turn.
"One day, while walking to the market, I saw an advert announcing an opportunity to register for various vocational training courses at There is Hope." he said "This was my answer. This was what I had been looking for." Kondwani registered for carpentry and a month later, he found himself among the 19 students of the first intake of the carpentry class of 2016. There was a good reason he felt motivated to join carpentry…
"I saw a need in my village. You cannot believe it if I tell you that there was only one carpenter in a community that has more than four thousand people. Obviously, one guy could not manage to serve the growing demand of the community and this caused lots of people to travel far in search of other carpenters." Kondwani's desire was to fill the yawning gap while at the same time providing quality carpentry services to his community. Most importantly, he explained, it was his gateway to escaping the life of 'irregular jobs with miserable pay' that he had been stuck in for close to a decade.
"It was also a stepping stone to establishing my own business which was what I was definitely looking for." The transformation that Kondwani was looking forward to gradually started showing up when he finished his 6-month carpentry course in August 2016. Upon graduation and powered by the carpentry tools he received, he put up a simple carpentry shed at his home and began making carpentry items.
When word started floating around that there was a new and qualified carpenter in town who was making quality products, it did not take long for Kondwani to attract a good number of customers.
Then the money started flowing in.
"I started getting big orders for doors, beds, dining sets, chairs and so on. For the first time since completing my secondary school, I could make a lot of money very easily and right at home." Kondwani said, adding that for the first time he was able to earn 50 thousand Kwacha – ten times the money he made when he used to work odd jobs where he received just a little over four thousand Kwacha.
When business is good, Kondwani can earn up to 100 thousand Kwacha in a single month.
The profits he got from his little carpentry business was sufficient enough to enable him to save part of it to build a new house. His old house was a sorry sight, thatched in grass, with tiny windows and plastered with mud.
"You would feel sorry for me if you saw the house that I was once living in." Kondwani explained "it had no cement floor, it had a tiny one bedroom and the interior was dark because there were two small openings we used as windows." When it rained, the house leaked profusely and he had to use buckets and pails to hold the water seeping from the roof. As a married man, Kondwani revealed, the house was humiliating and his priority all along had been to move to a decent house.
From the money he saved from his carpentry workshop, Kondwani has since built a good house with two large bedrooms and roofed in brand new iron sheets. It is one of the few decent houses in his neighbourhood. He has even furnished the house with a couch and a nice piece of dining set that he personally made. Furthermore, Kondwani's 3-year-old kid now attends a private nursery school, courtesy of the carpentry business.
Kondwani does not want his dream to end with a small carpentry shed in his community. He plans to grow the business and employ people to make products. He foresees himself operating a high-end carpentry workshop with lots of artisans.
"I will simply be designing the items and the people I employ will be turning the designs into products." he declares.
Kondwani's life has slowly changed. He no longer has to run around, sweating and hunting for undignified petty jobs in maize farms. In the past, he was a regular farm labourer but he is now a respectable carpenter with a reputable way of earning a living.
In January 2018, Kondwani upgraded his skills by enrolling for Carpentry Level 2 in our vocational training programme. He graduated in December of that year and he is now experienced in using advanced electric carpentry machinery. Level 2 Carpentry is one of the courses we introduced courtesy of funding we received from the European Union (EU). Our vocational training programme is now financed by the EU under a 2-year project called 'Capacity building of vulnerable young adults in Dowa District through vocational training'.

notice in mounted i change sessionExam object whenever gotSessionExam is recieved and i fire it like this in another component when a button is clicked
this.$root.$emit('gotSessionExam',data)

how can i render the div when sessionExam is not null?
thanks a lot people

A: It may depend on where this other component with the this.$root.$emit event lives. I'd check out Vue's doc recommendation about utilizing a central event hub so that component ancestry isn't a limiting factor:

Imprint: Cornerstone Digital
Sathnam Sanghera
Amazon Apple Books Hive Kobo
SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA FIRST NOVEL AWARD AND LONGLISTED FOR THE DESMOND ELLIOTT PRIZE
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BOY WITH THE TOPKNOT AND EMPIRELAND
'A stunning novel . . . touching and funny and feels so fresh . . . it just leaps off the page. I adored it' DEBORAH MOGGACH
When Arjan returns to the Black Country after his father's death, his family's corner shop represents everything he tried to leave behind. But his mother insists on keeping the business open, and Arjun finds himself being dragged back from London, and forced into big decisions about his own relationship. Yet Arjan's story isn't the first and it won't be the last: Surinder and Kamaljit, two sisters, a generation back in the family, also experienced their own share of betrayals and loyalties, loves and regrets.
'Impressive' GUARDIAN
'Entertaining' INDEPENDENT
Enormously enjoyable…Marriage Material isn't simply an ingenious exercise in updating…Sanghera's central subject, as in his much-praised memoir, The Boy with the Topknot, is prejudice…One of the novel's achievements is to keep you in mind of all this while maintaining a tone of shrewdly humorous tolerance. Sanghera's forte is wry comedy tinged with pathos…There is a concluding twist that has all the poisonous horror of finding a cobra coiled around boxes of confectionary in a corner shop…[A] warm, keenly observant and immensely appealing novel.
Peter Kemp, Sunday Times
Having grown up in a corner shop in the West Midlands, I hoped that Sathnam Sanghera's Marriage Material would resonate. I was expecting acerbic wit, unsentimental tenderness and a Black Country setting – and it lived up to my stupid expectations. I really wanted to like it and I loved it - which never seems to happen. I usually damn things with high hopes. It was a lot of things I expected - funny and tender and scathing - but it's insanely gripping as well. So much of the newsagent detailing was completely spot on – there was plenty of my Dad in the character of Tanvir, plenty of all of my family in there really. A great achievement.
Catherine O'Flynn, author of What Was Lost
A satirical masterpiece … A razor-sharp disquisition on the trials of being an Asian newsagent…Handled with a poignancy that makes it hurt to read. But those tears are soon replaced by ones of laughter … As past and present collide in a violent, twisty finale, it is clear that the caste system of the old country is alive and dangerous. Sanghera is such an engaging and versatile writer that the pages fly by in a flurry of pathos, politics and paratha with extra butter. Not many readers will recognise this satirical mini-masterpiece as a reworking of the 1908 Arnold Bennett novel The Old Wives' Tale, but everyone will feel richer for its uncompromising take on race relations in the Black Country.
Sunday Telegraph
His poignant memoir of growing up in 1980s Wolverhampton won Sathnam Sanghera an army of admirers as well as a clutch of nominations and awards. Five years on, he has turned his literary talents in the direction of fiction, with this funny and insightful first novel the result … A thoughtful examination of the complexities of modern Britain … An engrossing, entertaining and rewarding read.
Empireland
Arnold Bennett
The Boy with the Topknot
Sathnam Sanghera was born to Punjabi immigrant parents in Wolverhampton in 1976. He entered the education system unable to speak English but, after attending Wolverhampton Grammar School, graduated from Christ's College, Cambridge with a first class degree in English Language and Literature in 1998. He has been shortlisted for the Costa Book Awards twice, for his memoir The Boy With The Topknot and his novel Marriage Material, the former being adapted by BBC Drama in 2017 and named Mind Book of the Year in 2009. He has won numerous prizes for his journalism at The Financial Times and The Times, including Young Journalist of the Year in 2002 and Media Commentator of the Year in 2015. He lives in London.
What book to read, based on your favourite Christmas song
Whether you're more Bing Crosby or Mariah Carey, Wham! or Destiny's Child, there's a perfect book to match your favourite yuletime hit.
James O'Brien in conversation with Sathnam Sanghera: How Not To Be Wrong, 13 May 2021
Sathnam Sanghera on Empireland: 'This book was like putting Britain on the therapy couch'
Journalist Sathnam Sanghera's new book tackles Britain's troublesome past, and how it informs our fragile present.


a) A chance to get 30 seconds of fame with no real expectation of success.
b) A complete and innocent misunderstanding of what is involved in a record thru hike.
c) Your opportunity to explain this bizarre behavior.
I'd say a lot of B. Just no idea how difficult the grades and nearly constant ups and downs can be.
I had just gotten out of the Marine Corps, from a pretty high intensity unit, when I began my thru-hike. I averaged about 15 MPD at the start, which most folks thought was pretty crazy. I had expected that mileage to be mellow and easy. It was perfectly doable, but was much tougher than I'd expected after coming from the mostly flat Carolina coast.
I imagine there are folks who can run a marathon comfortably expect that 26 miles of the AT will much the same. Unfortunately, it's not even close.
My answer is A & B.
I believe it's a touch of A, in the internet age anyone can get 'press' simply by coming on here and posting. But mainly I believe it's B. The reason I say this is because of how incredibly huge the gap is between what people say they are going to do, and what they actually end up doing. I see these guys saying "I'm going to do this, that, other thing" then it comes out they have no real experience, and have not demonstrated that they can walk continously for hundres of miles, let alone thousands. Take the Initiative...cause it was probably the most significant joke in this category. An unknown and unproven person 'wanted' to hike 12,500 miles in 365 days, if he had done his homework he would have seen that NO ONE has every done that before, not even close. Not Skurka, Williamson, The Onion, Trauma, Robinson... The next closest thing to the Initiative would have to be Trauma's 10,000 mile hike years ago, where he hiked for 356 days and 'only' averaged 28 miles per day. There simply must be a complete lack of understanding of what it's like to hike long-distances, because Sam Gardner said he was going to average 34 miles per day, for 365 days straight...then in practice lasts two months, alot of that in motels, is hiking 7-10 mile days, and never gets out of New York. How does that happen? It's almost unbelievable.
I cant take anyone who hasnt yet thru hiked the AT(or any othr LD trail) very seriously when it comes to these "attempts"yes, will and determination are probably the two biggest factors in completing any AT attempt. but these guys have no idea what theyre in for until theyre out there doing it.still waiting for mr huffmans first trip report.or last one.whatever.
Probably some very good athletes doing some math at home and saying to themselves, "why not? I can do that!" Then, they get on the trail and realize the math doesn't add up.
I am guilty of this most everytime I plan a backpacking trip.
I look at the topos and imagine long days filled with lots of miles and lots of elevation changes. Then I go out for 2-3 days averaging less than 10 miles per day with many more hours spent stopped than actually moving.
I try to accept that I am a really a camper and not a hiker.
But then I look at the topos again and it starts all over again.
I think the fastest known time for a supported hike of the AT will not improve very much going forward. Jenn had a a very smart support team approach that took most of the "slack" out of the aspect of the record. Others may be able to improve the FKT based on their stamina and conditioning but I don't think there is much time to be gained from "better support".
Yeah, I do this a lot too. Plan out a grand trip and realize once I'm out there that I'm in for more than I bargained for. Our eyes are bigger than our legs.
I don't mind seeing people go for a record on the AT. They make our radar because we are on whiteblaze, but for the most part, they go un-noticed by the general public.
They do give us something to talk about.
I for one was quite surprised that Sam Fox (of run while you can) actually completed his thru-run of the PCT. With his inexperience, I really didn't expect him to get out of Washington. The only trouble with his whole thing was you never heard what was going on from his point of view, only from his silly hyperbolic babysitters who blew it all up into some kind of epic of pain and suffering and taking care of a hopeless, running-addicted man-child. Anyway, I think it's a whole lot of B with A forefront in the person's mind. Heck, half the people doing thru-hikes and not even attempting records these days all seem to be doing it to raise money and try to get sponsors and all that, as if what they are doing is so amazing and newsworthy how can people not rush in with money and support? Sheesh. You're all just ordinary thru-hikers enjoying a long hiatus from boring workaday life like the rest of us. Get a grip on yourselves.
I did that running thing too, figured conservatively I'd do 20 miles a day, probably more. Then came the first ascent with a 40lb pack.
One guy who announced his record intentions was Carlos Goldberg (Galilee Man) from Israel. He nearly beat the record, amazing for a hiker on his first AT attempt.
I think the phenomenon may have something to do with the AT's long-time mythology as a life-changing accomplishment. A lot of tales of successful AT hikes are comin-of-age stories, sort of like Zane Gray novels. City boy conquers the wilderness. Ordinary person does something extraordinary--that is the narrative of most AT stories. Of course enough people have already "conquered" the AT, including old people, blind people, one-legged people, and so on, that diseased minds in search of glory take hold of the idea that they will do it in a way much more special than anyone has before. The less one knows about the AT, and the less experience one has with long-distance hiking, the more feasible such a plan seems. That's the only reason I can think of that people cook up these silly plans, and that gullible reporters give them coverage. If the same person announced that he was going to run a 3-minute mile, I doubt he could get anyone to grant him an interview.
I was going to mention him as well. A friend of mine hiked with him briefly in New York. Apparently, they were in the same shelter one night, then the next day they both started out at about the same time. Of course Galilee Man leaves my friend in the dust. About noon, my friend sees G.M. coming toward him. He had gotten turned around and hiked several miles in the wrong direction. He also got sick for a few days as I recall. I always thought that if he had been better prepared with a plan he might have done it. Physically, and mentally I think he had the right stuff.
I took a peek at his journal and it looks like he had some strategic issues in the beginning. That 49 mile day first day on May 7 backfired with the next 9 days being all in the 20's. He looked like he kept right around record pace for the last half of the journey. He might break the record if he ever made another attempt. Of course, good to excellent weather would help.
I think Ward had some wiring issues that gave him some special benefits for long distance hiking.
Ward's "wiring issues" had more to do with dealing with people. I suppose that helped in that he didn't get to spend much time in town so he spent it all on the trail. What no doubt helped him in long distance hiking was his long legs. By the time he set the unsupported speed record, he had done the trail a whole bunch of times and for all practical purposes was a professional hiker at that point. That's why his record is so hard to beat - especially by those who haven't yet done the trail once.
D. They stumble across Andrew Skurka's website, and become delusional.
I think it's easy to dismiss Ward as people generally fear mental illness. If Ward had an advantage or two from his illness, he was no doubt disadvantaged 10 fold. Make no mistake about it, Ward faced far more difficulties on the trail than someone like Jennifer Pharr Davis will ever have to. His record has stood since 1990, his 3 hikes in one year still stands as well. Ward Leonard holds the unsupported record because he is argubly the greatest natural hikes the AT community has ever seen, and I feel priviledged to have met him. 36 miles a day, in 1990, before silnylon and cuber fiber, before 24 ounce tents, before trail runners...think about it. Also it needs to be mentioned that NO ONE has ever 'averaged' 36 miles per day for longer than 45 days that I know about, Skurka came close on his Great Western Loop, but not quite. Skurka did manage to average 38 per day on the PCT, but for 45 days. Ward Leonard deserves much credit, especially back in 1990.
i was following g-mans hike,keeping a record of his attempt. he was starting to get way behind, and then up in new england he stopped posting as much and his mileage went way up!
I think another reason Ward is often dismissed is because he is pre-2000. Before the days of Social networking, instant press releases, an audience that actively follows these treks almost instantly, etc etc.
Basically, it was pre wide spread Internet use. Not as much publicity. The hikers who did these attempts pre-2000 were a different era and not as well known. OTher than Dave Horton and Maine-iac (sp?), I can't think of any other well known pre-2000 record attempts.
Ward hiked, did it efficiently and did it for himself it seems.
OTher than Dave Horton and Maine-iac (sp?), I can't think of any other well known pre-2000 record attempts.
did it for himself it seems.
There are many people who do it for themselves and never gain any publicity. Anyone who breaks some record for long distance hiking actually has no idea if they really broke it because of all the stealth record-breakers out there.
Also I really do dislike making back packing into a competitive sport. I think it's pushed by retailers and gear people who want to expand the market for "fast packing". There's a marketing term invention. "one more hill before I take a break" is all the competition I want.
Original point still stands I think.
The fact we had to scratch our heads and think of some examples vs the current state says something.
True...but a LOT more people publicly going for records vs pre-2000 as well.
The only reason you hear about these speed hikes nowadays is because of the internet. Pre 2000, there was no internet and thus, no way to get the word out.
Kind of feeds upon itself, too. THe more publicity for a record attempt, the more people want do it for a record..etc.
Other than obscure mailing lists (like the Ultra run mailing list that's still around and the AT,PCT,CDT-L lists also still around) there was no real way of getting the news out widely to the community.
Plus, as Stranger said, back in pre-2000 (+/- Just a nice figure that seems to work) even these mailing lists catered to people actually hiking or trail running.
Today? Much easier to hype up and follow these attempts.
Ward and other attempts were from a different time and place.
It was for me at 24.
If I had not done the AT, I'd probably have never left RI, moved to Colorado and have had everything else that has happened to me since that time. Hiking the AT lead directly to making the outdoors a large part what is important in my life.
Had the right stuff? You betcha...65 days, amazing!
How many of these speed hikes are sponsored?
As to Sam Fox, I agree that he may have the physical abilities to set a record someday. Unfortunately he was unfamiliar physically and intellectually with what a hike of this magnitude entailed. First problem is that he started too late in the season, although the start date might have worked out if he was on the record pace he hoped for. Early in the hike he pushed way too hard, and his mileage for a long time suffered because of it. Having met him briefly, I know that he's not intimately familiar with the trail. That makes a big difference in ways that only a long distance hiker can understand. At some point he stopped running and started walking. That was smart. The walking pace of the current record holder isn't all that fast, and walking a little faster is a lot easier on the body than running. Hopefully he spends the next few years becoming very acquainted with the trail and gives the record another shot.
I bet Sam's problems are experienced by many record breaking hopefuls. They think that because they're great athletes, that their physical prowess will make up for their lack of experience and knowledge. They think that because they can produce awesome results in infrequent short bursts, that their body will hold up to long term abuse. That's just not the case. It takes the mind and body a long time to prepare for a long fast hike.
Now I know I'm not an elite athlete. I'm nowhere near it. I've learned the hard way that it's going to take me years to attain my goal of being to be able to comfortably hike 20 miles in 6 hours including breaks, and to easily do 30+ miles if I cared to take advantage of all the daylight hours. I don't even want to train long and hard enough to break a record.
Branley Owen - 72 days in 1970. Was it a "record attempt?" I doubt anyone conceived of speed records at that time since heretofor only a handful had thruhiked the trail. Was it a "record?" - I guess it was at the time.
Both A & B. I think the 30 seconds of fame portion of A is a driving motivator behind these proclamations, but the lack of success comes from B.
I would be more impressed by the record for the slowest thru hike.
A great mountaineer, Alex Lowe (he was often called the "best") once said "the best ----- is the one having the most fun".
The fastest people are too busy grimacing to have fun.
It seems to me that the place to start before announcing you're going to attempt to break a record would be to have a look at what the *current* record is.
If the current record is 90 days the odds of a person doing it in 45 is about 0%. I'd shoot for 89 days if the record was 90 and be happy if I came in below 89.
Anyone can break a long distance speed record, you just gotta take your time and break it up into smaller pieces.
I'm currently working on a 2 hour marathon. Just 420 17 second 100m wind sprints to go. I use a running start.
Actually these pre-2000 folks would write up a story and send it in to a magazine publisher. There was a black and white publication that came out many years ago called Ultrarunning magazine. It had a pretty small circulation, more so in Western States. Today it is still a somewhat specialty magazine but in color and with more stories about ultrarunning events. Previously, the material was mostly individual stories for those that wanted to share what they did. It was more fascinating to read because most people were astonished that these activities could even be done. Another, somewhat later, publication was Marathon and Beyond.
Actually, this trail ultrarunning sport became more prevalent on the West Coast (in the 1970's) than it did in the East. Horton, and a few others who were very familiar with the AT really brought the speed challenges to light in the East.
It depends on the trip and its intended purpose, but I often suffer from the opposite. I look at topos and say "look I can stop here" or "I can take this side trail to this neat view" or "I can spend a 2 hour lunch in the sun at this vista" etc, but when i get on the trail I tend to plod on for more miles than I should.
When someone with little or no long distance hiking experience claims they are going to break the world record, there are plenty of people who are willing to encourage the effort, no matter how delusional. Someone (or many) will inevitably say "ignore the naysayers." They point out other people who have accomplished great things against the odds. "I will be thrilled to meet you when you breeze past me" someone will say. Newspapers or even magazines will run stories that take the effort seriously. Feels pretty good to get treated like world class athlete for a while. Probably feels pretty bad to fall flat on your face after making outrageous claims.
I think it is doing a disservice to blindly encourage people who have totally unrealistic hopes based on profound ignorance of what they are hoping to do.
I am accepting donations for my 424 x 100m 2 hour marathon attempt.
It might take awhile, so keep them donations coming.
Goldberg (aka "Galilee man"), who carried an Israeli flag he waved at the beginning and end of his trek, and a backpack with the Golani emblem sewed on the side, set out to break a 20-year-old record: running the distance in under 60.5 days.
Yes, running the Appalachian Trail.
People who run the whole way are known as meshugena.
Yiddish has got to be one of the best languages for one-off colorful words to throw into English.


Today the times were confirmed so the poster could be finished. I am happy with the way it has turned out, and I think the rest of the group are too. I also made a facebook banner which I have sent to people in charge of facebook, just to match the poster, help establish our brand.

Q: What is the best practice for secure connection to SQL Server 2008 from .net 4.0? What is the best practice and most secure solution when connecting from a .NET 4.0 application to SQL Server in 2008?
And how is this done in c# / vb?
I thought of connecting from the application to the SQL Server's database over an encrypted connection and then by using something called
Application Roles.
Would this be a good approach?

A: This is a very open question with no correct answer unless you can itemize the threats that concern you. Once you know which threats are of concern, the question can be answered correctly.
Do you care about:
1) tampering with the data as it goes from Client <-> Server?
2) server authentication?
3) client authentication?
4) disclosure of data as it goes from Client <-> Server?

A: If you are connecting over an untrusted network (like the internet) then I recommend using a VPN.


What if someone told you there was one simple action you could take to improve your child's mood, behavior, and success in school? What if this same action reduced his risk of developing diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and even the common cold? Helping your child establish and maintain a sleep routine has a huge impact on all these areas. Research shows getting enough quality sleep is essential for growth and development, mental and physical health, and quality of life.
A word about sleep and weight: Consistently not getting enough sleep is associated with gaining weight and increased body fat. Quality and amount of sleep also plays a role in appetite regulation. A lack of sleep contributes to a bigger appetite and increasing cravings for carbohydrates.1 Ensuring your child is getting enough restful sleep will help him maintain a healthy weight.
Technology making you tired? Exposure to bright artificial light in the evening from TV screens, smart phones, and other electronics disrupts the body's circadian rhythm, making it harder to fall asleep.2 Shutting off phones and other electronics at night will help your children get the restful sleep they need.
1. Keep the same sleep schedule on school nights and weekends.
2. Reserve the hour before bed for quiet time. Avoid exercising and bright artificial lights from a TV, smartphone, etc. This hour should be spent doing a calming bedtime ritual each night that helps your child relax before bed, such as taking a hot bath or reading.
3. Avoid heavy meals and caffeine within a couple hours of bedtime.
4. Encourage your child to spend time outdoors and exercise during the day.
5. If your child tells you it is difficult to fall asleep due to worrying at bedtime, encourage him to write these feelings in a journal at a set time each day.

In this review Steven Swafford provides his candid point of view of how this book relates to the age old problem of configuration management with Visual SourceSafe.
Changes are inevitable in any software development project. Software configuration management provides a discipline for identifying items to be managed, controlling changes, maintaining integrity and traceability of the components that are required to develop the final software product throughout its life cycle. This can prove to be a task in itself and at times present a variety of decisions that not only impact software developers, but management as well. Configuration management is an integral part of the software development process and supports the management and the control of the project at any point in time.
The main objective of software configuration management is to manage the change process and track changes to ensure that the configuration of the software product is accurately known at any given time.
Keeping track of your progress and history for applications you develop can be a daunting task, even for a small project. This is where this book can prove to be an invaluable resource for anyone who is new or has some experience with Microsoft Visual SourceSafe. Software configuration management can help you or your team and all projects must implement a configuration management process which best suits their needs.

Current Affairs and Policy Analysis
The Advent of Truth-Destroying Technology
Crime / Criminal Justice / Technology / Truth / Values
Author: Paul Craig Roberts. Reprinted by permission.
Tyler Durden on Zero Hedge reports that the ability to falsify reality is growing by leaps and bounds. Thoughtless geeks have now developed technology that makes fake reality indistinguishable from real reality:
"I don't think we're well prepared at all. And I don't think the public is aware of what's coming," said the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. He was discussing the rapid advance of synthesis technology. This new artificial intelligence capability allows competent programmers to create audio and video of anyone, saying absolutely anything.
The creations are called "deepfakes" and however outrageous they may be, they're virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.
No sooner had we adjusted to a world where our reality seemed fake, then things that are fake became our reality.
"We're outgunned," said a UC Berkeley digital-forensics expert, "The number of people now working on video-synthesis outnumber those working on detecting deepfakes by 100-1." . . . Already two-thirds of Americans say altered images and videos have become a major problem for understanding the basic facts of current events.
Misinformation researchers warn of growing "reality apathy" whereby it takes so much effort to distinguish between what's real and fake that we simply give up and rely on our base instincts, tribal biases, impulses. Immersed in our leader's deceits, we come to believe in nothing. Two oil tankers burst into flames, billowing smoke.
On cue, a suspicious Iranian Revolutionary Guard boat appeared on grainy video. Viral images flooded earth's nine billion screens. Each side told a different story. No one quite knew who to trust. Conspiracy theories filled the void, as we each clung to what we most want to believe.
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-16/hedge-fund-cio-i-dont-think-public-aware-whats-coming
Why is it that tech geeks take pride in developing technology that makes truth even harder to find? What is wrong with their character as humans that they create methods of destroying the ability to know truth? How is this different from releasing an undetectable substance into the air that wipes out life?
The only use of this technology is to allow the police state complete control. It is now possible to put words and deeds into the mouths and actions of anyone and use the faked evidence to convict them of the simulated crime.
Without truth there is no liberty, no freedom, no independent thought, and no awareness. There is only The Matrix.
How has America so lost the way that corporations, investors, and scientists are motivated to develop truth-destroying technology? Aren't these mindless idiots our real enemies?
The most difficult thing in the world today is to ascertain the truth. It is what I attempt to do for readers. Those who rely on this website should support it. This site has very loyal supporters, which is why it exists. But it has far more users than supporters. The cavalier attitude toward truth on the part of so many readers is not encouraging of the survival of truth.

El mosquitero de Kamchatka (Phylloscopus examinandus) es una especie de ave paseriforme de la familia Phylloscopidae propia de los extremos nororiental y sudoriental de Asia. Está cercanamente emparentado con el mosquitero boreal (Phylloscopus borealis) y el mosquitero de Swinhoe (Phylloscopus xanthodryas), de los que anteriormente se consideraba conespecífico.

Distribución

El mosquitero de Kamchatka es un pájaro migratorio que cría en las penínsulas Chukotka y Kamchatka y las islas de Sajalín, Hokkaido y Kuriles, y migra al sur para pasar el invierno en el archipiélago malayo.
