A kindness initiative in Spruce Grove which inspired a teacher at Rendell Park and her students to write greeting cards with donations has sparked another good gesture. The recipient has now returned the good deed along with a $2,000 gift.
Stephanie Hurd read Facebook posts sharing stories of people in need to her class.
"I was so inspired by that first one of the girl that didn't have a washing machine – she was washing the clothes in the bathtub. And Amanda and Trevor took her on a shopping spree and bought her absolutely everything that she needed."
Amanda and Trevor Wilhauk operate Wilhauk Beef Jerky in Spruce Grove and have a campaign called the Twelve Days of Giving. Wilhauk says she was amazed to learn that a teacher in Lloydminster was sharing their posts and teaching kids about acts of kindness. Then two years ago, they received a package in the mail full of handwritten cards, each with a $10 bill in it, from a grade 5 class at Rendell Park Elementary.
"It was so cute. They all wrote in there,'my teacher cries everyday – when she is reading out all the kindness that you are spreading.' 'She cried again today – and she gave us $10 – and we want to give it to the girl who needs help with the laundry.' 'We want to give it to the seniors.' 'We want to give it to the little boys that don't have anything.' They (grade fives) got to choose – she let them choose. So she spent her own money," says Wilhauk.
The couple put the cards up in their Spruce Grove shop window for two-weeks, with the donations still inside and people would stop to read the greetings from the Lloydminster grade fives.
Hurd and the grade fives have done their act of kindness for two-years in a row and Wilhauk says it's one of the reasons why they have continued doing their kindness venture which is now in its fifth year.
Wilhauk along with the Grinch hosted a thank-you lunch with some 60 pizzas for the entire elementary school of some 400 kids. Their visit also included a cheque donation of $2000.
Hurd in expressing her gratitude says she knows how she is going to pay it forward.
"I'm allowed to choose whoever I want to spread it to and I'm going to choose the Lloydminster Hub of Healing. They are actually going to come and speak to all grade six classes on Thursday morning. They help people out right in Lloydminster with mental health and addictions, as well as people less fortunate."
Hurd adds that giving does not have to be monetary. You can say 'hello' to someone. Give a smile or even shovel someone's walkway.
Update: The donation cheque of $2000 has been gifted to the Lloydminster Region Health Foundation.


Below is the Executive Summary of our Market Research Skills and Training Study 2018 Report. You can download the full report by clicking here.
Market research is a knowledge-based industry, its key asset is people – software comes and goes, techniques evolve, but if the future of market research is to be secured, it will be on the strength of its people to add value, and importantly, to add value that non-researchers cannot. To ensure that value-added future, market research needs to develop its people, and a key part of that process in training, to build the competence of the people who make up the research industry. However, this report suggests that too little training is happening. The authors believe that if market research and the insights profession is to prosper in the upcoming world of big data, automation, and artificial intelligence, this must change, and we will outline some of the key steps needed to achieve that.
This report is based on a study conducted globally in April to June 2018, with 1108 market researchers and insight professionals, and builds on our Market Research Knowledge Benchmarking Study 2017. Visit for a copy of this report and other project details.
The project was run by NewMR's Sue York and Ray Poynter and supported by a wide range of people, to whom we offer our thanks, and who are listed in the full report.
The main story is that too many market researchers are not getting the training that they (and the industry) need to be receiving.
39% receive less than 6 hours training a year.
Only 18% receive 6 or more days a year.
Our recommendation is that (in most cases) the minimum level of training should be three days per year. This is in many ways a modest figure, but it is more than two-thirds of people working in market research are receiving at the moment.
The rest of the key findings build on this main story, as indeed does the rest of the report. There are details and good points and bad points, but the main story is that too many market researchers are not receiving enough training, something we which believe is endangering the future of market research as a knowledge-based, value-adding industry and profession.
One quick way to find out if your staff or colleagues are receiving enough training is to ask them. Our study indicates that when people say they are not receiving enough training, or that they are unsure whether they are receiving enough training, they are right in about 75% to 85% of cases.
Let me be a devils advocate. If people are not being trained appropriately in market research, why not farm it out to professionals and manage the budget and project manage? Looking forward to reading the full report.
Farming out the training to third-parties is a common and sensibe part of the solution. However, this still requires a) budget, and b) putting space into people's workday for learning.
Thanks Ray For Sharing great information …..
Hi Ray, Just a suggestion – while the content of your reports is good, it is not at all visually appealing.
I suggest you to look at that aspect too.

Zipperer told The Bee that while Amazon certainly generates job growth within the warehousing industry sector when it opens one of its massive order-filling centers in a community, it does not appear to translate into employment gains across the entire local economy. "It seems to be shifting the composition of employment in some places," Zipperer said. "You do see more warehousing workers. They are definitely hiring."
In Fresno County, where total employment amounted to about 393,000 workers across all industries last fall, warehouse employment is a relatively small component, according to figures from the state Employment Development Department and the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. A total of 34 companies operated general warehouse/storage businesses – not including agricultural cold storage – and collectively employed fewer than 1,200 workers in the county.
That's well below peak warehouse employment of almost 1,600 workers in 2006, before the economic recession, but it's still a rebound from fewer than 830 workers in the recession's aftermath in 2011.
When Amazon's warehouse opens, probably this summer, the company expects to have about 1,500 employees. Nearby to the west, a new Ulta Beauty distribution center is also expected to open this summer with more than 540 employees. Together, they will more than double the ranks of warehouse employees in Fresno County. The number of workers at both centers is expected to expand seasonally to handle holiday rush periods.
But the EPI researchers suggest that in a community's overall economy, the effects of an Amazon warehouse coming to town may not be all they're cracked up to be. The overall number of people employed in a county after Amazon arrives is relatively flat when compared to before the company opened a center.
In the report, the EPI economists offer two possible explanations: "That the jobs created in the warehouse and storage sector are offset by job losses in other industries, or that the employment growth generated by Amazon is too small to meaningfully detect in the data."
The report asserts that instead of providing millions in tax rebates and other economic incentives to lure Amazon in hopes of stimulating job growth across a local economy, "state and local governments should invest in public services (particularly in early-childhood education and infrastructure) that are proven to spur long-term economic development."
"These (economic incentive) strategies sacrifice future tax revenue and hope there is some kind of payoff," Zipperer said. "They're taking revenue that we would have had to spend on something else and instead spend it on Amazon in the hope that it will result in more jobs for everybody.
"What we're finding is, that sacrifice is a very risky bet," he added. "A lot of the things we know communities want their governments to spend that money on that generate employment – things like education and infrastructure – tend to have much higher job multipliers."
In Fresno, however, where the incentives are the result of a job-growth initiative championed by then-Fresno City Councilman – and now mayor – Lee Brand, the EPI study is a subject of scorn and skepticism.
"It's hard to take any study seriously that only does enough research to get the answers they want, and clearly EPI wanted to try to disprove Amazon's economic benefit to the communities where they locate," Brand said. "Any Fresno high school student can tell you that the addition of 2,500 jobs starting at $15 an hour with benefits at the full operation of the Amazon fulfillment center will increase employment and reduce poverty in the area."
"We doubly benefit because all the tax incentives for Amazon and Ulta are conditioned on those job promises and we expect nothing but a positive impact from the presence of these new e-commerce centers in our city," Brand said.
What is Fresno putting up?
Brand's Economic Expansion Act, approved by the City Council two years ago, calls for Fresno to rebate 90 percent of the city's share of property taxes that Amazon's subsidiary, Golden State FC, would pay on the increased value of the site for the next 30 years, as well as a rebate of the city's entire share of sales and use taxes paid by the company on purchases it makes in Fresno.
To qualify for those incentives, however, Golden State FC is required to create at least 750 new full-time jobs at the center. The incentives are hard-capped at $30 million, depending on the number of jobs created by the company.
An economic analysis prepared for the city's Economic Development Department estimated that the actual property tax rebates would amount to about $15.3 million over 30 years, plus about $750,000 in sales tax rebates. That same analysis, conducted before annual increases to California's minimum wage kicked in, anticipated that the potential payroll at the Amazon fulfillment center would add up to more than $2.2 billion over 30 years – money that would circulate within the community as employees spend at local businesses, buy homes, and pay sales and property taxes.
Amazon weighed in with its own rebuttal of the EPI study, insisting that its warehouses do stimulate additional jobs in communities beyond the company's direct hiring. "In addition to the 200,000 Amazon employees in the U.S., we know … Amazon's investments led to the creation of 200,000 additional non-Amazon jobs, ranging from construction jobs to healthcare industry positions," the company said in a written statement. "Over the last five years, counties that have received Amazon investment have seen the unemployment rate drop by 4.8 percentage points on average, and in some areas, the rate has been lower than the state average."
An Amazon spokeswoman said the company's estimates are based on modeling methods used by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
In many areas of the country, however, the five-year period cited by Amazon has been characterized by economic recovery and corresponding employment growth, seemingly making it difficult for Amazon – or anyone else – to know definitively whether all of the additional job creation claimed by Amazon are directly attributable to the company, or due to organic growth that would have happened in the local economy regardless of Amazon.
In Fresno County, overall private-sector employment grew by more than 31,000 jobs from 2012 through 2016 – an increase of about 11.2 percent before Amazon even formally had Fresno in its crosshairs. The warehouse sector, in the meantime, gained just over 200 jobs.
Amazon has fulfillment centers that it either operates or uses as outsourced warehouses scattered across the state. It has six in San Bernardino County alone. Prior to Amazon opening its first center there in 2012, fewer than 10,000 people worked in warehouse jobs. As of last summer, those jobs had nearly tripled to almost 30,000 – the effects of not only Amazon, but other companies opening warehouses there as the Inland Empire becomes a major logistics center serving Southern California.
Even at that pace of industry growth, warehouse employment was less than 5 percent of San Bernardino County's overall job pool.
According to state and federal estimates, the average weekly wages for warehouse workers in Fresno County's pre-Amazon era climbed by 44 percent since 2000 – from $583 a week in 2000 to $842 a week last fall. Wages actually peaked at an average of $884 a week in 2015. Across all industries in Fresno County, the average wage last fall was about $804 per week.
By comparison, the city's economic analysis of Amazon estimated an average wage of $26,000 per year for employees – or about $500 a week.
In San Bernardino County, the average weekly wage of warehouse workers has actually fallen slightly in the Amazon era, from $728 a week in 2011 to $713 a week last summer – and the loss is greater when inflation is factored in.
In the meantime, wages for workers across all industry sectors in San Bernardino County rose from an average of $730 a week to $811. In four of the six California counties in which Amazon has established fulfillment centers, the average weekly wage for employees in the warehouse sector has gone down, not up. The two exceptions were in Los Angeles County, where the company has a center in Long Beach, and Sacramento County.
With its proximity to the Bay Area over the Altamont Pass, San Joaquin County in the northern San Joaquin Valley has two Amazon centers in Tracy and one in Stockton. Before the first one opened in 2013, warehouse employment was fewer than 5,000 jobs and the average wage was about $915 a week. Last summer, employment had grown to more than 12,600 workers. But the average wage had declined by almost $90 a week, to about $826.
Shelley Burcham, economic development manager with the city of Tracy, said no economic incentives were offered to Amazon to build there, but the city did expedite its planning and permitting processes for the company.
Burcham said that when the first center opened, it started with about 1,500 workers, and now Amazon has about 3,500 in one of the centers. "It's not just entry-level jobs," she said. "They work with folks to train them and encourage them to move up the ladder in the company."
During peak seasons, the number of employees ramps up to about 7,000. "People in the industry talk about this 'Amazon effect,' that in the peak seasons when they need more workers, sometimes workers in those industries may jump from one job or another for a dollar or two more an hour," she said. "But we've not heard that from employees here."
But while the EPI study suggested that Amazon generally doesn't provide a net boost to jobs across a county's overall economy, Burcham said the fulfillment centers in Tracy have created a net gain in jobs.
Economist Jeffrey Michael, director of the Center for Business and Policy Research at Stockton's University of the Pacific, said he generally agrees with EPI's policy conclusion about communities throwing tax incentives at Amazon. "There isn't good justification for public subsidies for Amazon fulfillment centers," he said. "They are going to locate in places that allow them to best serve California population centers regardless of these subsidies."
In San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties, "I have no doubt that Amazon fulfillment centers are net creators of jobs," Michael added. "Amazon fulfillment centers are displacing some traditional retail jobs, but it is also true that they are creating new economic activity – basically as acting as an errand-running/shopping service for households."
Michael noted that increases in warehousing employment in a community also create more transportation jobs and non-payroll jobs for independent contractors..
Zipperer acknowledged that the EPI study's conclusions are averaged based on counties nationwide, and that some communities might have experienced overall job growth in the wake of Amazon.
"What we did is not only look at before and after an Amazon warehouse opens, but we try to compare it to before and after in similar places where Amazon didn't open," Zipperer said. "We try to form a good comparison between a county that looks (economically) like that county, but doesn't have Amazon."
"I'm pretty agnostic on how much of an effect that economic incentive packages have" in job creation, he added. "Research shows that they're pretty much a mixed bag. … I think I would have been surprised had we found a result that showed either a very strong (positive) or negative effect."


David has extensive experience representing every constituency in real estate restructurings and bankruptcies.
Namco was the investment vehicle of Ezri Namvar. At its peak, Namco's real estate investment portfolio included partial or whole interests or joint ventures in approximately 80 to 100 entities holding real estate assets that were estimated to be worth more than $1 billion. David represented Namco when it was severely impacted by the 2007-08 real estate crash and then forced into bankruptcy.
Through a LLC, two individuals owned an office building in Westwood, California. The individuals began to have serious disputes and could not agree on any decision regarding the property. While the property had substantial equity, the inability to operate the property resulted in a default to the secured lender and risk of a foreclosure. At the instruction of one of the members, David filed a chapter 11 for the LLC and over the objection of the other member was able to negotiate and consummate the sale of the property, thereby satisfying all claims and permitting a distribution of proceeds to the members.
LaundryMart was the developer and operator of approximately 26 combined-use retail micro-malls located throughout Los Angeles County. A sudden and dramatic increase in natural gas prices left the company with insufficient cash flow to service its leases and other obligations. During the chapter 11 case, David negotiated and consummated a sale of the company's assets.
Representing a bankruptcy trustee for a 155-bed hospital located in Granada Hills, California, David helped negotiate and consummate the auction of the hospital's real property and improvements.


Finding fun new products for my boys that will help make summer more enjoyable is a top priority for me once school ends.
One of the things I love so much about Canada is its diversity, and that's why I've always loved Maplelea Girls. These large and realistic dolls are instantly appealing to both children and parents because of their wholesome look and realistic body type. But even better, each of the Maplelea Girls dolls has a unique personality based on one of the Canadian provinces!
I was lucky enough to receive a Maplelea Girl doll to review recently, and after a lot of deliberation, I decided on Taryn. My oldest niece has a birthday coming up and even though she lives in Saskatchewan, we have a lot of extended family in British Columbia, so I thought a doll from that province would be a fun choice. And Taryn's light brown hair and pale skin even match Anna's looks!
It always amazes me that two boys with the same parents raised in the same household with the same rules can be so very different. My boys have a few things in common, such as their love for imaginative play and their fondness for babies. But in so many other ways, they aren't alike at all.
Zackary has a competitive streak, a love of anything with a motor and a highly scientific mind that makes him an avid learner. His imaginary games often include battles, challenges and races. Benjamin, on the other hand, has a compassionate heart and a love of animals. His imaginary games often involve good guys working together as friends and he also treats his favourite toys like family members, carrying them everywhere.
Spin Master has been one of my absolute favourite toy companies for years, in large part because its toys are so innovative and engaging for kids. With two boys in the house, it goes without saying that most of the Spin Master toys I've seen have been distinctly boy-friendly, so I was excited to get the chance to check out a few of Spin Master's newest toys for girls!
A few years ago, my boys were introduced to the mess-free magic of Glow Crazy. Involving a fun light pen that is used to draw on a large mat or small portable board, kids can create glow-in-the-dark pictures that fade in a few minutes leaving a blank canvas for more glowing projects. So when we were recently given the chance to review the Glow Crazy Doodle Dome, a fun tent with a Glow Crazy canvas on the inner wall, I knew my boys would be thrilled to test out this new way to create glowing pictures!
The advantage of the Glow Crazy Doodle Dome is that it doesn't require a dark room in order for kids to create glowing pictures. While Zackary loved his original Glow Crazy Distance Doodler set, he did need to be in a dark room for the pictures to show up at their best, which meant using his Glow Crazy light pen and wall mat was generally only a nighttime activity for him. But with the Glow Crazy Doodle Dome, kids can create glowing pictures at any time of day!

When shopping for a host based business telephone system, be certain to do your homework. All providers are not the same. Although one provider may tout more features, they might not work as described.
Host based VoIP phones solutions is a Numbers game in most circumstances. The "Bet" is knowing how many users will be using the Host based system at the same time. Lets say for example that you have five employees in your company and I have five employees in my company. What is the chance of all 10 employees being on the phone at the same time? That's the question. Host providers use an algorithm that says 2 of 10 users will be on the phone at the same time. This is most likely inaccurate in your situation. It is in mine.
So what? you may ask. Well this skewed number will reflect in poor call quality for users when users over two are introduced. In fact, all the users will start experiencing Latency (Garbled conversations) perhaps static or even dropped calls. So what do you do? The first step is communicating the issue and hear an excuse of an adjustment is being made and give it a few days. Then finally, search for a replacement service that will hopefully be better. This means (Controlled) down time and having to port your telephone numbers to the new provider. There are fees involved with Porting and setting up new services. Most likely the sum of these fees are greater than the company you should have gone with in the first place, so you could actually be loosing money while dealing with the hassles of a poor phone solution.
The best value may be spending an extra $10/month for services that don't have these issues. Bandwidth is King and the User ratio should be 50%. This means up to 50% of your users are EXPECTED to be on the phones at the same time. With cellular phones, this is most likely rare to see but a Host based provider that uses this ratio is the better choice.
Your good Host providers allow you to bring your own phone versus being locked into using phones from a particular manufacturer such as Polycom or Cisco. Both of these manufacturers are exceptional but there are also very nice options from Yealink and Snom. Yealink and Snom offer more features on their phones for less money. Features such as line keys that can be programmed as Speed dials, paging, BLF (Busy Lamp Fields) and more.

Taking a personalised approach to aggressive pancreatic cancers
Pancreatic cancer is highly aggressive and difficult to treat, but now our scientists are taking a more personalised approach. For Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, Gege Li looks at how our researchers are using artificial intelligence to improve treatment.

Pancreatic cancer is notorious for being highly aggressive and difficult to treat. Only one patient in four in England survives more than one year from diagnosis and just seven per cent are still alive after five years. Survival rates for this disease have barely improved at all in the last three decades.
More than 90 per cent of cases of pancreatic cancer are pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma – a disease that starts in the exocrine cells of the pancreas where digestive enzymes are produced. Pancreatic tumours can often grow and spread unnoticed by the immune system and cause few symptoms, so that by the time they are diagnosed it may be too late to treat the disease effectively.
Image: Roy and his daughters
But now our scientists are beginning to make progress in finding new, more personalised approaches to treating pancreatic cancer. This will offer some hope of a longer and better quality of life for patients and their families – people like Roy Bowdery, who was diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in 2014.
Roy recollects: "When I got the diagnosis, my wife and I burst into tears. Pancreatic cancer is the most fatal of all common cancers – it's really brutal. I've been cancer-free for six years, and now my aim is to get into the five per cent who survive 10 years. The figures haven't really improved in the last 40 years. There needs to be research, so more people will survive and get a chance at life."
Philanthropy plays a key role in pushing forward our vital research into cancers of unmet need, like pancreatic cancer. Donate today to help us make a difference to patients' lives.
Understanding the immune landscape
To improve the odds against this disease, we are using computational analysis of pancreatic cancers to find ways to select patients for more effective, personalised therapies. Dr Anguraj Sadanandam, Team Leader in Systems and Precision Cancer Medicine, is combining use of artificial intelligence (AI) with experimental and clinical studies. He aims to shed light on the different subtypes of pancreatic cancer and the best therapies for patients with each one.
The team is particularly interested in using AI to select those patients who are most likely to respond to immunotherapy – a breakthrough type of treatment which directs the body's own immune system against cancer cells. As pancreatic cancer often evades the immune system, many patients do not respond to immunotherapy, but there are some patients who could significantly benefit from it.
Uncovering potential targets

Dr Sadanandam said: "Unlike other cancers – for example breast cancer, where huge advances have been made using machine learning approaches – no major developments have been made for pancreatic cancer in decades. Computationally, it's very important to understand the immune landscape of pancreatic cancer, to help us to develop therapeutics and diagnostics that could lead to personalised treatment."
AI has allowed researchers to analyse hundreds of patient tumour samples at a time and to spot patterns within that data. Last year a global team led by Dr Sadanandam used AI to analyse the immune response in a rare type of pancreatic tumour called pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer. The researchers were able to pinpoint tumours that hijacked the immune system, and uncover potential targets for immunotherapy to prevent tumours from evading the body's defences.
Dr Sadanandam's multidisciplinary approach has also included a first-of-its-kind study that classified pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tumours into various subtypes and described the different ways each type responds to treatment. This work has in turn spurred the discovery of further tumour groups by other research teams. His team is now validating these findings, with the goal of eventually offering tailored medicine to individual patients.
Taking a personalised, multi-faceted approach will be essential to overcome such a complex and aggressive disease as pancreatic cancer, and to improve prospects for patients like Roy. Dr Sadanandam and his team are helping to lead the way – addressing a cancer where patients' needs have been unmet for too long.

What is the path to finding your truth? To finding universal truth? To finding God? How do you find your roots? Your values? How do you answer the big questions: Who am I, and why am I here? Through studying Kabbalah or Tantric philosophy we often raise these questions and contemplate them. This is not out of the ordinary. Yet if we get back into life and we forget how important it is to practice, we fall again to an old pattern of forgetting. This reminds me of what my favorite Buddhist teacher, Suzuki Roshi, says: "The most important thing is to remember the most important thing."
I recently made a vow not to forget. In the Shambhala language, it's called taking a refuge. Taking refuge means that we have some understanding of suffering. We should not be taking refuge to avoid problems, but we should take refuge to avoid problems in future lives.
I recently met an Israeli artist, Gilad Segev, who truly made me turn my head and caused me to really want to get to know his work. We spent one afternoon on a lovely street in old Tel Aviv in one of my favorite Yemenite restaurants, and he told me his story. To know me is to know that I have ALWAYS been passionate about music. I don't know it all, but I know what I like.
Gilad had a soul that revealed to me when he spoke on all the subjects, which I too had been embracing myself since childhood. Our shared philosophy was that, "Life is why we are here; to figure out what our true purpose is." And I saw, deep inside of myself, that I was ready to hear his story.
What I discovered after our interaction was that he arrived to a place of remembering something that was taught before, like most of us who access the same answer. Go INSIDE. It is there that you will find everything you need, because (in a humble way) you are God itself. You get a spark of the whole when you discover that you are no longer alone. Suddenly, depression and confusion are not issues anymore. We are all a bit confused and lose our way. Some of us get knocked down more often than others and it takes longer for us to step back onto the path. But if the true purpose is to exist we must keep looking and remember what was taught to us long ago. The answers are within.
So Gilad went into his roots of Polish Syrian Jewish heritage, and he found the melodies and embraced the prayers, which he ultimately embedded into his music. He said he went "dark for three years. Going really internally. Not listening to the radio. Socializing very minimally." He called it "prison with better conditions." After this period he discovered that he had inside of him a deep internal knowing that nothing could break him again, no matter how difficult life would be. A profound shift had occurred inside of him. And from that point on, his creative voice would come from the essence of his being. He realized that an outcome is not nearly as important as the process you go through to get to that outcome. It's the parts we don't see that matter the most.
I ask myself a very similar question these days. When life is challenging, it's not always a bad thing because it might bring you closer to the truth, and more importantly, bring you closer to the inner voice of your greatest strength.
So remember, whatever it is for you:

More On: Shadow of the Tomb Raider
The official reboot of the Tomb Raider series is now in its third chapter, with the prior two versions, Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider, being smashing successes. Crystal Dynamics' treatment of the new Lara Croft, a younger version still learning the true ropes of survival and exploration, has been a refreshing take on a series that still had potential and just needed a kickstart from the right group. The third chapter is upon us, but Crystal Dynamics took a back seat to Eidos Montreal and the resulting product of Shadow of the Tomb Raider has taken one step forward but two steps backwards.
Gameplay: If it looks like a duck…
Beating around the bush, this looks and feels like a Tomb Raider game from the start. Lara Croft's journey in this new storyline features the same beautiful visuals that captured our attention from the first chapter. The layout of maps are carefully designed to ensure that basic exploration is easy to follow while finding treasure and hidden tombs prove to be a challenge, yet offer the same gorgeous visuals that will pull you in. I'm happy to see that Eidos Montreal didn't mess with the formula there and stuck with the overall feel of Crystal Dynamics' creation. The enemies, characters and creatures all encountered in the game have a true realistic feel to them. Early on, Lara is attacked by a jaguar deep in the forest, setting up a battle that takes us back all the way to the early games of Tomb Raider. This time, though, things make a little more sense. Remember asking yourself why a lion or tiger was in a long lost tomb and surviving no problem back in the early 1990s? Finding them in the jungle makes sense.
Where things go awry is with some of the controls. The core controls that Crystal Dynamics used in the first two games are there, but some of the new controls are clunky, especially when Lara is climbing on a wall. Almost all of my deaths in this game came from screw-ups with the control system when I attempted to either rappel down or try and simply jump from one section to another. Once is a coincidence, but poor Lara's death count was in double digits by the time I was through playing this game.
Combat in this game is suspect at best. The game definitely takes the Metal Gear approach and wants players to be as stealthy as possible, which is right up my alley. However, it felt too easy. I was playing on normal mode so it's unfortunate to me that I could be against a wall out of view but not technically hidden and standing in light, have the Triangle button icon appear over the enemy's head before he's technically in Lara's view, and just flat out blindside him without him having a chance. I feel as though if a stealth approach is how a game wants to go, I need to be truly hidden or sneak up behind someone. It's a lazy approach, yet any stealth kill picked up seemed to be rewarded with more XP every time. I have to tell you that the bow was really the only weapon I utilized other than Lara popping out of grass like a Jack-in-the-box to coldcock someone with her axe.
Experience: This one feels more like actual tomb raiding!
I will say that I'm very happy with the new tombs and how many there are. The first game really lacked in actual "tomb raiding" without being too punny and the second game was so focused on the storyline that it felt like hidden tombs were just an afterthought, so getting into these new, plentiful tombs is very welcome. I'm also happy with the mechanics of swimming and the puzzles that are presented. The difficulty mode will determine just how obvious the direction is for Lara to take and how much help the AI offers. There is also a bit of nervousness every time Lara goes underwater and hoping that it's not to a dead end. I have not felt that kind of stress taking a character swimming since I took Sonic underwater and got the dreaded five count for being under too long.
Touching on the difficulty of the tombs, the game sets a good bar at the beginning for challenges and raises them up as the game presses on. Also, some of the tombs are well out of the way and do need some true exploring to find. The game will also tell you if you're missing specific equipment in order to access the tomb, especially early on when Lara may not have her gear yet stumbles across one of these areas. The original versions of Tomb Raider were all about solving ancient puzzles and progressively got harder so it's nice to see Eidos going back to their roots, something that I think Crystal Dynamics lacked as they focused on the storyline and gameplay instead of the puzzles.
The story itself is so good early on but really misses the mark because so many things are teased yet never really come to fruition. Lara and Jonah are a fantastic pair, but I had hoped to see more development instead of Jonah seemingly being a helper and friend yet not really sharing a lot. The story with Trinity also kinda falls flat, even with them being the antagonist that Lara needs to defeat besides her primary quest.
Overall: The base is there for a great game, but…
There's only so much I can go into about the ups and downs of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Early on I was quite excited as the picture painted for me was one that I really was ready to sink my teeth into. Tomb exploration made me remember why I loved the Tomb Raider series in the first place. However, the controls just felt off to me for some of the game. Combat really felt like an afterthought with the stealth approach being rewarded, forcing players who would rather take on wave after wave of enemy to change their style or get washed out of the game early on. I felt as though this game needed to go back to Crystal Dynamics to work on the combat system while Eidos Montreal handled the puzzle and stage design. Yes, Crystal Dynamics had some say in this as advisors, but this one is on the neighbors to the north. There's a great game in here just dying to burst out and show us what we all want, but it just seems to fall flat when it really matters. I want to love this game, I really do. Unfortunately, all I see is an above average game that needed some desperate polishing at the end.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider should leave us wanting more from the rebooted Lara Croft game, but with some clunky controls and a lazy combat system, what saves the game from being below average are beautiful visuals, fantastic puzzles and tomb layouts along with true adventuring. It's as mixed up of a bag as one can get.
Rating: 7.4 Above Average

Ehh... I don't really agree with some of this. Thao, mostly yeah, but you say why was she not shouting more? Live was considerably more energetic than the recorded versions and their albums are easily some of my favorites of all time. One thing to note is I don't think they were digging the crowd a whole lot, which had a couple jerks in it and wasn't really responsive, which probably explains why Thao may have not been totally into it. But even with that, still was absolutely amazing and energetic and awesome.
About Magic Man, I think you are being way too harsh. First, good group but best album of 2010 is a huge overstatement. And complaining about the band set up with the looping tracks, you say 'just get two dudes what's wrong with you guys' like it is that easy to recruit two new members who can dedicate the time and you get along well with. And with their 4 man set up I thought they did an awesome job, especially with the guitar. The recorded album is great and pretty quiet, a bit more personal and maybe headphone music, and I think they made the perfect decision to go noisy with the live show. The shoutier vocals (even if a bit off sometimes) and louder upbeat performance fit the live show much better than their recorded songs. I was kinda dreading their live show after hearing the album, expecting a kinda boring show with just two dudes playing soft synths with quiet vocals, but the performance really pleasantly surprised me with its energy.
But about what you say about All the Friends, I couldn't agree more. Totally surprised and blew me away; they were fantastic. Still, gotta admit Thao w/tgdsd really was the best here, too amazing.

WASHINGTON -- By the time Stephen Strasburg settled down and looked like his dominant self, it was too late and his undefeated season was over.Strasburg struck out 10, but allowed six runs and seven hits including two home runs and the Washington Nationals lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-3 on Thursday. Its Strasburgs first loss since Sept. 9, ending a streak of 16 consecutive winning decisions.During the streak he was outstanding, manager Dusty Baker said. You know every streak is going to end. Thats the best streak Ive ever seen I think. Now you just go back to the drawing board and start a new streak.The All-Star right-hander allowed two- and three-run home runs to third baseman Justin Turner in the first and third innings and an RBI single to first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. After Turners home run, Strasburg retired 12 of his final 13 batters.It was just a couple of pitches where I just didnt execute when I needed to, and I got beat on them, Strasburg said. Once I got past those first couple innings I started throwing more first-pitch strikes.Strasburg (13-1) had the longest winning streak to begin a season among National League starters since Rube Marquard of the New York Giants went 18-0 in 1912. The Dodgers hit the ball hard against him early, but he had that unstoppable stuff in his final three innings.At the plate, Strasburgs teammates couldnt crack Dodgers left-hander Julio Urias, who allowed one run and five hits in four innings. Bryce Harper drove in Trea Turner with a sacrifice fly in the first, Danny Espinosa had an RBI double and Daniel Murphy an RBI single off the Los Angeles bullpen.The Nationals left 12 runners on base in losing to the Dodgers for the fifth time in six games this season.We were fighting back, Baker said. We were stealing bases. We were trying to get runners in scoring position, which we did. We left 12 men on bases. We had opportunities to get back into that game.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: OF Yasiel Puig left the game with right hamstring tightness that occurred when he tried to leg out a grounder as a pinch-hitter in the seventh. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he didnt know the severity of the injury. ... All-Star SS Corey Seager missed his third consecutive game because of a stomach virus. Roberts said Seager was feeling stronger, but didnt want to play him a full game in 90-degree heat and humidity.Nationals: 1B Ryan Zimmerman (left rib cage sprain) was set to start a rehab stint at Class A Potomac on Thursday night. Baker said hed like Zimmerman to play three minor-league games and return Tuesday in Cleveland. ... RHP Joe Ross (shoulder inflammation) threw a bullpen session prior to the game.WERTH THE RESTOriginally listed in the starting lineup, Jayson Werth was a late scratch when Baker said he woke up at 3:30 a.m. and changed it to give the outfielder a rest. Werth had a pinch-hit double in the eighth to extend his on-base streak to 25 games.REVOLVING BULLPEN DOORRoberts used seven relievers to throw the final five innings: RHP Pedro Baez, LHP Luis Avilan, RHP Louis Coleman, LHP J.P. Howell, RHP Joe Blanton, LHP Adam Liberatore (2-0) and finally RHP Kenley Jansen, who earned his 28th save. The only one left was LHP Grant Dayton, who was recalled earlier in the day.UP NEXTDodgers: RHP Brandon McCarthy (2-0, 1.69 ERA) starts the opener of a three-game series in St. Louis against RHP Michael Wacha (5-7, 4.45)Nationals: RHP Tanner Roark (9-5, 2.82) continues his impressive season against the San Diego Padres, who are scheduled to start RHP Luis Perdomo (3-4, 7.36) in the series opener at Nationals Park Vapormax Günstig Kaufen . -- Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made their way to the locker room. Vapormax Plus Herren Schweiz . The quest begins with what is supposed to be an easy one, although Germany has traditionally been a stubborn opponent to Canadian teams at international tournaments. http://www.vapormaxkaufenschweiz.com/air-max-97-schweiz.html . Defenceman Yannick Weber scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period and the Canucks breathed a sigh of relief with a 2-1 win on Saturday night. Nike Vapormax Damen Billig . World champions Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia won the gold medal with 237.71 points, Moore-Towers and Moscovitch followed at 208.45 and Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov of Russia were third at 187. Nike Vapormax Damen Günstig . With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position.India have recalled strike bowler Mohammed Shami and included Harbhajan Singh in their squad for the World Twenty20 which begins next month. Shami has not played for India since last years 50-over World Cup after suffering a knee injury and was sent home early from Indias recent tour of Australia with hamstring problems.But chairman of selectors Sandeep Patil said the 25-year-old had recovered and would be given time to prove his fitness, leaving open the possibility of calling up a late replacement before the final selection deadline. We have 30 days to ascertain where Shami is, Patil said.He has recovered, he has resumed bowling. Thats what we know right now. Harbhajan Singh (centre) is included for World T20 Shami had been emerging as Indias premier fast bowler before his injury woes, shining in all three formats of the game.Shamis inclusion was the most eye-catching in a 15-man squad packed with experience and skippered by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who led India to victory in the 2007 inaugural tournament in South Africa.There had been questions about Dhonis future after a disappointing run of scores but critics were silenced when he led India to a 3-0 victory in the recent T20 series against Australia.The 35-year-old Harbhajan and Yuvraj, 34, are two other veterans of Indias triumph iin 2007, the only time the team has won the trophy.ddddddddddddHarbhajan failed to make the starting line-up in the Australia tour but Patil said the off-spinner, who has taken more than 700 international wickets, still had something to offer. Yuvraj Singh is a survivor of the team which won the trophy in 2007 Unfortunately he didnt get a chance (in Australia), he said. But selectors and captain and team management have total faith in Harbhajan and the record which has set and the contribution that he has made, not only towards Indian cricket but towards world cricket.The only uncapped player in the squad is the left-arm spinner Pawan Negi, who has impressed in the Indian Premier League with his bowling and his powerful lower-order hitting.Squad: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Harbhajan Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Ashish Nehra, Pawan Negi, Mohammed Shami.Watch the World Twenty20 live on Sky Sports Also See: England avoid T20 big guns Pick your England T20 squad Cook backs Broad for World T20 WATCH: Best of 2014 World T20 ' ' '

Eschertzhuber, S., Brimacombe, J., Hohlrieder, M., and Keller, C. (2009) The Laryngeal Mask Airway SupremeTM – a single use laryngeal mask airway with an oesophageal vent. A randomised, cross-over study with the Laryngeal Mask Airway ProSealTM in paralysed, anaesthetised patients. Anaesthesia, 64 (1). pp. 79-83.
The LMA SupremeTM is a new extraglottic airway device which brings together features of the LMA ProSealTM, FastrachTM and UniqueTM. We test the hypothesis that ease of insertion, oropharyngeal leak pressure, fibreoptic position and ease of gastric tube placement differ between the LMA ProSealTM and the LMA SupremeTM in paralysed anesthetised patients. Ninety-three females aged 19–71 years were studied. Both devices were inserted into each patient in random order. Two attempts were allowed. Digital insertion was used for the first attempt and guided insertion for the second attempt. Oropharyngeal leak pressure and fibreoptic position were determined during cuff inflation from 0 to 40 ml in 10 ml increments. Gastric tube insertion was attempted if there was no gas leak from the drain tube. First attempt and overall insertion success were similar (LMA ProSealTM, 92% and 100%; LMA SupremeTM 95% and 100%). Guided insertion was always successful following failed digital insertion. Oropharyngeal leak pressure was 4–8 ml higher for the LMA ProSealTM over the inflation range (p < 0.001). Intracuff pressure was 16–35 cm higher for the LMA ProSealTM when the cuff volume was 20–40 ml (p < 0.001). There was an increase in oropharyngeal leak pressure with increasing cuff volume from 10 to 30 ml for both devices, but no change from 0 to 10 ml and 30–40 ml. There were no differences in the fibreoptic position of the airway or drain tube. The first attempt and overall insertion success for the gastric tube was similar (LMA ProSealTM 91% and 100%; LMA SupremeTM 92% and 100%). We conclude that ease of insertion, gastric tube placement and fibreoptic position are similar for the LMA ProSealTM and LMA SupremeTM in paralysed, anaesthetised females, but oropharyngeal leak pressure and intracuff pressure are higher for the LMA ProSealTM.

Proud To Be a GayCanuck
Posted on August 7, 2012	by GayCanuck
When I was a kid, I wasn't really interested in sports at all. I vividly remember one Christmas when Santa left me a football and helmet under the tree, and my baby sister got an Easy-Bake oven. I wore the helmet and held that football for the obligatory Christmas morning photo-op. But after that, I was all over that Easy-Bake oven! I baked the most fabulous tiny cakes in that thing. I eventually did use the football helmet again as part of a costume for a musical review I staged in the back yard one Summer.
In High School, I was thin, dorky, nerdy and gay. The perfect target for teasing by jocks. And they did tease and taunt and bully. Gym class days filled me with absolute terror because the bullying was almost guaranteed and the gym teacher never did anything to stop it. One day when we were all piling into our next class, a few of the jocks started taunting me by calling me a fag and a fairy. But I was absolutely floored when one of the burliest football players who sat at the desk next to me told the guys to shut up and leave me alone. And miraculously they did!
That was the first time someone stood up for me in the face of homophobic bullies, and he just happened to be a top athlete in my school. It's something I'll never forget.
This is why I so admire what Patrick Burke and his partners and allies are doing with You Can Play, an organization created in the memory of Patrick's openly-gay brother, Brendan, to combat homophobia in sports. Their mission is to ensure equality, respect and safety for all athletes, without regard to sexual orientation.
Having been the target of homophobic bullying, I can imagine how hurtful and degrading it would be for a gay athlete to hear his or her teammates constantly using slurs like "fag" or "dyke" and making derogatory remarks about gay people right in front of them. Some of my fellow PuckBuddys writers who play recreational ice hockey, like Adam, have experienced this first-hand. It's this kind of open and acceptable homophobia in sports that eventually led to the creation of gay hockey teams, like The Cutting Edges in Vancouver, Western Canada's only gay hockey team.
After less than a year in existence, You Can Play has already had a major impact in opening a public dialogue about gay athletes and "casual homophobia" in locker rooms. NHL teams were the first to step up and embrace the project. In fact, all of the professional athletes who marched in Gay Pride parades this year so far have been NHL athletes under the You Can Play banner.
Now, I'm not a Bruins fan by any stretch. But when Zdeno Chara along with Jason Pominville from the Buffalo Sabres released the first PSA for You Can Play, I immediately recognized the power of their simple message: "If you can play, you can play." You would be a welcome and respected member of the team no matter your sexual orientation. Ryan Kesler soon lent his support and recorded a PSA with former Canucks teammate Tanner Glass (now with Penguins, Dan Carcillo take a note) and Dustin Byfuglien from the Winnipeg Jets. Both Daniel and Henrik Sedin have also pledged their support.
But on August 1st the Canucks organization decided to officially throw their support behind You Can Play by sending Manny Malhotra, Jason Garrison and their mascot Fin to march alongside Patrick Burke and The Cutting Edges in Vancouver's Gay Pride parade! This was the first time a professional sports club had participated in Pride, and I was fortunate and honored to have been invited by Terry Hutcheson from The Cutting Edges to join them.
Meeting Manny and Jason was a HUGE thrill for this relatively new Canucks fan. It was only a year and a half ago that I wondered if I would ever be accepted by other hockey fans while being quite obviously and openly gay. In fact, I'm proud to be endorsed by Patrick Burke as being the gayest hockey fan in his timeline on Twitter! If only that honor came with a crown. Heck, I'd even accept a tiara!
I never could have predicted back then that I would not only be blogging about hockey, but also marching in the Gay Pride parade with two Canucks players and their official mascot! I had to pinch myself and think, "is all of this real?" Am I going to wake up like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz and think it was all a dream?
But watching Manny and Jason waving to the cheering crowds and getting photos taken with fans as we paraded through the streets was surprisingly emotional for me. Two worlds I never thought could live in harmony were making beautiful music that day. My heart was so full of love and happiness, and I was never more proud to be a Canucks fan.
One of my Twitter buddies, Lyndon Salas, summed it up best when he said: "I was cheering so loud for the Canucks I didn't realize I had tears in my eyes."
Manny, Jason and Fin probably don't realize how their simple act of walking in a parade could touch people so deeply and emotionally. And that's why Pride parades are still important even in Canada where gay people are fully equal under the law. It's that yearly renewal of acceptance, tolerance, compassion and love so desperately needed in a world that is still intolerant and hateful for many.
Thank you Cutting Edges! Thank you Patrick! Thank you Manny, Jason and Fin! And thanks to the Canucks for standing up for their gay fans! It's a day I will always remember just like the day in high school when that football player stood up for me so many years ago. #CanucksPride

Q: Angular) Any better way to initialize the value of the Object in class when declaration? What I'm trying to do is like this.
export class TestModel {
    item1: {title: 'specific title', content: string};
    item2: {title: 'specific title', content: string};
}

declare the object {title:string, value:string}, and initialize only title.
value of the content will be added after it declared.
but It didn't worked.
so I changed it to like this.
interface testInterface {
    title: string;
    content: string;
}

export class TestModel {
    item1: testInterface ;
    item2: testInterface ;

    constructor() {
        this.item1 = { title: 'specific titleA', content: '' };
        this.item2 = { title: 'specific titleB', content: '' };
    }
}

I want to initialize title without the constructor(), to reduce the amount of code.
(and if it is possible, initialize only the title, not the content).
I tried
item1: testInterface = { title = 'specific titleA, content = '' };
and it didn't worked too.
Is there any good solution?

A: You can assign default values in your field declarations, and then pass Partial objects to the constructor and merge them:
interface TestInterface {
  title: string;
  content: string;
}

export class TestModel {
  item1: TestInterface = {title: 'Default title', content: 'Default content'};
  item2: TestInterface = {title: 'Default title', content: 'Default content'};

  constructor(item1: Partial<TestInterface>, item2: Partial<TestInterface>) {
    this.item1 = {...this.item1, ...item1};
    this.item2 = {...this.item2, ...item2};
  }
}

const x = new TestModel({title: 'Specific title 1'}, {content: 'Content 2'});

If that is still too much repetition, you can declare a constant to hold the default values:
const DEFAULT_TEST_INTERFACE = {title: 'Default title', content: 'Default content'};

export class TestModel {
  item1: TestInterface = DEFAULT_TEST_INTERFACE;
  item2: TestInterface = DEFAULT_TEST_INTERFACE;

  /* rest is same as above */
}

Porsche now 3D prints classic parts
Old dog, new tricks
Porsche Classic wants to keep its older models running longer, with to the introduction of new 3D-printing technology.
The company says too many owners and collectors are hamstrung by hard-to-find spare parts, which can lead to vehicle problems, or even forcing them out of action.
With some 52,000 parts in its range, Porsche Classic – the division of the German marque dedicated to classic vehicles – is now employing the new printing method to produce ultra-rare parts to their original specifications.
Normally, parts are reproduced using the original tools if they're required in small numbers. When larger amounts are required, however, the company may need to use a newer, faster production method – like 3D printing.
Currently, Porsche is manufacturing nine different parts using 3D printing, including the release lever for the clutch on the rare Porsche 959.
Above: A crank arm for a Porsche 964 created using 3D printing.
The production method is explained as follows:
"To manufacture the release lever, a layer of powdery tool steel less than 0.1 millimetres thick is applied to a processing plate in a computerised process. In an inert atmosphere, a high-energy light beam then melts the powder in the desired locations to create a steel layer. Thus, the complete three-dimensional component is produced, layer by layer"
Porsche says parts manufactured using this process have all passed durability tests with "flying colours", suggesting they meet higher quality standards than the original ones.
Additionally the company says a further 20 parts are being trialled for 3D printing, which will allow Porsche to eliminate more tool and storage costs compared to the traditional production method.

A: My guess - Exactly what the error says, the driver is not executable. SSH into the server and see if
sudo chmod 777 /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/TravelCenterSeleniumJenkinsIntegrationCMB/target/classes/chromedriver

fixes it (777 grants read/ write/ execute permissions to a file for user, group, and others respectively). If you can't SSH in whatever provisions your Jenkins server probably needs to make the file executable on on startup

A: public static String osDetector() {
  String os = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowercase();
  if (os.contains("win") {
    return Windows;
  } else if(os.contains("nux") || os.contains("nix") {
    return Linux;
  } else {
    return "OtherOs";
  }
}

// under the openDriverMethod
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
if (osDetector.contains("Windows") {
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "driver folder path");
} else if(osDetector.contains("Linux") {
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "driver folder path");
  //you need to add this one i guess!
  options.setBinary("/usr/bin/google-chrome");
}

A: I have 10 test classes in my project, 2 classes are not well-defined chrome driver instance properly that's why I faced the above issue, its sorted now

A: In my case, this solution is working for me. You can try once
In this case, when you installed Jenkins you have a user created for Jenkins and now you need to add permission for the Jenkins user
Here have some good explanation about this

What would it be like if we said hello to everyone in our communities?
My first memory of encountering a person who appeared to have no place to live was during my first year of college at UCLA. A man was sitting outside a mini-mart, his legs crossed and his hair long. He looked tired, and his clothes had stains on them. Feeling pity for him, I went into the mini-mart and purchased a turkey sandwich on wheat.
"OK," I said, my cheeks burning with shame. He had a point: All hungry people prefer all-you-can-eat food to what now looked like a pathetic turkey sandwich. I took the rejected sandwich back to my dorm room.
My dining companion and I were seated at a long table that looked out a large window. Across the street was a man who we often saw in the downtown shopping district. He often carried a unrolled sleeping bag on his shoulder while talking and growling to himself. His clothes were soiled and too big for him. The soles of his shoes were falling apart. He didn't have a beard, only uneven facial stubble. His eyes were light, and his face was dark from smears, smudges, dirt, and dust.
"He doesn't look well," I said to my dining companion. The man was sitting on his rumpled sleeping bag on the sidewalk while engaged in an animated conversation … with no one. Sometimes he leaned back against the side of the building and puffed on a cigarette.
"I wonder when he last ate," I wondered aloud.
As we approached him, his posture was relaxed, and he was about halfway through his cigarette. His clumpy hair was falling into his eyes, and everything he was wearing was soiled. He was engrossed in a conversation, occasionally making a point with his right hand.
He stopped talking, turned his head, and looked at me. He remained still as the swirls of smoke from his cigarette defied gravity with ease.
Another tendril of smoke dissolved into the night before he answered: He shook his head no.
I smiled and waved good-bye. I heard him resume his conversation as we walked away.
In retrospect, I should have introduced myself and asked him for his name. And I wonder if, next time, he will be hungry and accept an offer of food.
Sometimes we believe people are so different from us. How could there be anything similar between that guy talking to himself and sleeping on the street and me? What do I have in common with that guy wearing dirty clothes and carrying a sleeping bag around?
Well, we all share the wish to be treated with dignity. We want people to acknowledge us, our presence, our existence. We want people to see us as equals, not less than. We want people to show us respect, to see us as people who have worth.
Maybe you see someone in your daily commute who sleeps outside or doesn't seem to have any money. Maybe it's someone who sits against a wall with a sign asking for help.
What would it be like if you said hello that person? Or made eye contact with that person and smiled? What would it be like to acknowledge that person as a person? What's gotten in the way of you doing that in the past? What is the worst thing that could happen if you tried that? What's the likelihood that your worst fear in this situation would come true?
What would it be like if we said hello to everyone in our communities? Because aren't these individuals who sleep outside and talk to themselves part of our communities?

Q: How to read data blob from Apache Derby DB with python jaydebeapi? I am trying to import data from a a local derby database into python using the jaydebeapi. I am running python 3.6 from PyCharmCE:
import jaydebeapi as jdbc

conn = jdbc.connect("org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver", "jdbc:derby://address:port/db_name", ["user", "pwd"], "path/to/derbyclient-10.14.2.jar")
curs = conn.cursor()

curs.execute("select ITEM from TABLENAME")
rec = curs.fetchone()[0]

curs.execute("select BLOB from TABLENAME")
rec = curs.fetchone()[0]

curs.close()
conn.close()

While everythong goes well for the first query, i am having troubles with the data blob. I receive the following runtime error:
Process finished with exit code 134 (interrupted by signal 6: SIGABRT)

The blob data size is approx. 200kB. At runtime the rec variable is of type org.apache.derby.client.am.ClientBlob - found that a bit puzzling ...no idea if it contributes to the solution.
Thx in advance for any hints!

A: This seems to be an issue of JPype 0.7.5 (and maybe before). This might be fixed in the upcoming 0.7.6.
Also it might be worth trying the JayDeBeApi 1.2.3 if you haven't done so yet.

Groundwater Contamination at Wyoming Plants
Selenium, arsenic, lithium and more were detected at multiple coal-fired power plants in Wyoming
Selenium, arsenic, lithium and more were detected at multiple coal-fired power plants in Wyoming.
In Wyoming, three PacifiCorp coal-fired power plants reported contamination of groundwater above state or federal limits. This includes the Dave Johnston, Jim Bridger and Naughton plants.
According to the Wyoming Public Media, PacifiCorp reported detecting selenium, arsenic, lithium and more polluting elements. A report from Earthjustice, a non-profit environmental law firm, drew attention to the information. The report highlights 67 plants across 22 states with the same problem.
The culprit is coal ash facilities at the plants, according to the Wyoming Public Media. According to Spencer Hall, a spokesman for Rocky Mountain Power, an operating entity of PacifiCorp, contaminants in the Wyoming groundwater is not as bad as in other states.
"They're self-contained. They don't have the access to the groundwater that is gonna enter into the aquifers and things that exist in other geographical parts of the country. Like, the geography of where our coal ash piles are is kind of ideal as far as containment," Hall said to the Wyoming Public Media.
According to Hall, that is important because contamination has not gotten into surface or drinking water at all through the contamination. A remediation plan will be announced in early 2019, according to Wyoming Public Media.
"We'll be working with the state, what that looks like. And then in the community meetings, we'll be announcing it. And we'll be taking public input too," Hall said to Wyoming Public Media. Hall is expecting public input to guide the plan as well.
Hall said PacifiCorp is fully in compliance with the Obama-era coal ash rule, which requires detecting and reporting contaminants, then implementing remediation. According to the Wyoming Public Media, the Trump Administration finalized modifications to the rule this past summer which environmental groups argues weakens it. Those environmental groups filed a petition for a review in federal court in October 2018.

Around October each year we get busy going to, or just supporting, audio shows around the world.
The image above is from the Xfi show in the Netherlands. We love working with the Aequo loudspeaker team and it does not hurt that their elegant loudspeakers sound fantastic. We also showed with Aequo in Munich 2018 and also in Melbourne 2018 (see below).
Doug White of "The Voice That Is" is renowned for providing the best sound at every show he attends and showed our Antipodes DX3 with TIDAL loudspeakers and electronics at a number of shows in the USA this year – including Axpona, Rocky Mountain, NYC.
The Melbourne International HIFI Show continues to be the best run show we have ever attended. Marc Rushton (Stereonet) and his team do an amazing job.
In Melbourne we showed with Pure Music Group.
We had the EX playing alongside a TechDAS Air Force III turntable, through Aequo Stilla loudspeakers. The sound of the EX came a lot closer to the TechDAS than you might think. Regular visits to listen to Pure Music Group's world class turntables have taught us a lot about how to voice our music servers, but we also cheated a little by using the EX as just a renderer and playing from the CX we had hooked up to another system running Kii loudspeakers. In between playing to the EX through the Stillas playing down the room, we also played the CX direct into the Kii III speaker system playing across the room. The CX/Kii combination provided incredible sound at its combined price, with its main strength being how very musically engaging it was.

Antibiotic for oral administration for dogs and cats in infections caused by microorganisms sensitive to cephalexin.
Do not administer to animals with known hypersensitivity to cephalosporins and penicilins or excipients contained in the tablet.
In animals with known renal failure, the frequency of drug usage shall be lowered by two.
In those patients, do not use cephalexin togeher with drugs with known nephrotoxicity such as aminoglycosides and amphotericin B.
Occasionally in some animals side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, drooling affecting the digestive system may occur. Sometimes there may appear skin reactions. After administration of cephalexin occasionally there were reports on incidence of erythema multiforme / pemphigus leaf. The risk when using cephalexin is however small.
The occurrence of adverse events after administration of the product or observing any adverse effects not listed in this leaflet (including symptoms in humans due to contact with the drug), you must notify the competent veterinary surgeon, manufacturing authorisation holder or the Office for Registration of Medicinal Products, Medical Devices and Biocidal Products. The application form should be downloaded from the website http://www.urpl.gov.pl (Faculty of Veterinary Medicinal Products).
In case of deep purulent skin inflammations, treatment period mey last from few to up to 6-8 weeks. In skin infections caused by G microorganisms, frequency of administration may be increased to 3 times daily. Antbiotic may be also used in weekend therapy in case of recurrent purulent skin inflammations (administered for 2-3 days per week).
Treatment of acute, not complicated bacterial infections of urinary tract shall last fro 10 to 14 days.
In each case about the period of therapy and frequency of drug administration decides veterinary doctor.
Because in dogs and cats the feed does not affect absorption of cephalexin, in case of inability to administer the drug deeply into the mouth by placing the tablet on tongue root, it is possible to administer the tablets with feed, or by crushing the tablet and mixing it with small amount of tasty feed. Crushing of tablets have no effect on stability of cephalexin in the digestive tract.
Contents of opened packaging must be used within 6 months.
In some animals dysfunctions of the digestive system such as vomiting or excessive salivation may occur ocassinally. They may be easy to avoid by administerig the drug with food.
In patients with known renal impairment, the frequency of administration of the antibiotic must be reduced to only once daily at a recommended dose.
In cases of chronic purulent skin inflammations, previously treated with antibiotics, or in case of finding in imprint specimen G - microorganisms, the antibiotic should be used after susceptibility study of isolated bacteria.
If an allergic reaction occurs, stop using the drug and start treatment appropriate to the hypersensitivity reaction.
Cephalexin may cause allergic reactions in people allergic to cephalosporins and penicillins after ingestion of the product or contact with the skin. Wash your hands after administration of the drug to an animal. People who are allergic should take caution when administering the drug, and in case of a rash or more serious symptoms, one should immediately contact a doctor.
Preparation may be used during pregnancy and lactation.
Cephalosporins exhibit synergistic action to aminoglycosides, penicillins and chloramphenicol. Administration of cephalexin together with aminoglycosides and other potentially nephrotoxic drugs (such as amphotericin B) should be made with caution, as it may increase their harmful effects. Therefore, it is not recommended to use these drugs simultaneously in patients with diagnosed renal failure.
Cephalexin has low acute toxicity . In dogs and cats, there were no deaths after use of cephalexin in a single dose of 500 to 1000 mg / kg b.w. Testing of higher doses was prevented due to vomiting occurring in both animal species. Multiple dose studies in a very high doses, indicate that the most common symptoms after oral administration include vomiting and drooling, there also may occur: neutropenia, neurotoxicity , agranulocytosis , hepatitis, renal toxicity (doses greater than 400 mg / kg b.w. in dogs). In cats cephalexin after oral administration at doses higher than 50 mg / kg b.w administered two times a day , may cause vomiting, salivation or diarrhea. Higher doses may be given only for a short time without symptoms of intolerance.
