So far, we have had the BUSIEST SUMMER EVER. There has not been one single morning of sleeping in with nothing to do yet. Bummer! I'm working a few days a week so the boys have had a babysitter with them. We've also had four mornings of tennis camp (with four more next week and the week after!), we've gone out of town, and we've just been BUSY. Stink! We need more weeks and weekENDS this summer.
Today is the first day all summer that I've slept late. I got up about 9AM and there was no one home! The boys are at Grandmama's putting together a batting cage and Eddie was at church for Methodist Men. It has been so quiet all morning and I have enjoyed sitting in my chair drinking my coffee and reading!
We are rocking and rolling on our summer list, so I thought I'd share the updated version! Will has also had his date with me, I just forgot to mark it off.
James is reading like a crazy man. I think he's up to 7 or 8 books (or more) by now. He is REALLY loving the Geronimo Stilton series, in case you're looking for something for your own child. I've been working on a Mary Kay Andrews book and Eddie has been reading a book called Gods in Alabama by Joshilyn Jones that I picked up for myself at the library a few weeks ago. I've also been reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to the boys at night when I can. We're almost finished with it and when we are, we'll watch both movies just for fun.
We went to Lake Oconee for Memorial Day weekend and marked several things off while we were there.
We went on our family vacation already and I'll blog about that sometime soon. Things didn't go as planned, but we tried to make the best of it and we still had a really fun time.
We've already had a few Family Game Nights. The boys almost always choose Monopoly for those. We have a few versions of Monopoly - the one with the credit card (which they've never played), Jurassic World, and Disney (the one with the castle). They're all the same game, but they have different places on the spaces. We set a timer (usually for an hour) and then when the timer goes off, we count everyone's money. We've never FINISHED a game. Lol!
Our ice cream floats were fun! Bluebell vanilla ice cream + Coke. Neither boy loved it (and I don't either), but it was a fun one nevertheless!
We are enjoying our time out of school! Hopefully we'll get more of our fun marked off in the coming weeks!


Today's picture is one of many fabulous from today's pinup inspired shoot I did for a friend. Stunning! Not too shabby for an indoor shoot on a misty rainy kind of day.
You can see a few sneak peeks and the rest of the pictures from the shoot (posting the rest tomorrow hopefully!) on the Facebook page.

What Business Leaders Can Learn from March Madness
AmyK Hutchens
From the sidelines, most basketball games can look frenzied: offensive players trying to find an open man, defenders hoping to trap and steal a ball, and coaches frantically calling out new plays in the midst of apparent chaos. But to anyone who has been on the court or has followed the game extensively knows basketball is a fast-paced environment well-orchestrated by leaders, both on the court and from the bench. The best teams, the ones that make it to the courts that host March Madness, are constantly setting up and running multiple complicated plays and adjusting their tactics in the hopes of making it to the next round.
"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships." -Michael Jordan
Just as in the game of basketball, great business leadership strategy doesn't start and end with the coach. A successful team in any environment requires all players to contribute their best in concert with their teammates, and do it seamlessly. It is the leader's responsibility to provide the tools to make that happen.
5 Leadership Techniques from the Court
1. Establish Your Culture.
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." – John Wooden
The success of the team cannot depend solely on all the players having a common goal or every school would make it to the final four. Players on great teams have core values in common, both on the court and off. What are your team's values? What do you want the team to embody and emulate? Everyone should know the philosophy and the behaviors and demonstrate their belief in them.
2. Create a Playbook.
"Michael, if you can't pass, you can't play." -Coach Dean Smith to Michael Jordan (when he was at UNC)
The basketball can be passed faster and more effectively than it can be dribbled and no championship team has been won on the backs of only one player – passing is the key to any good offensive strategy.
Your team needs to know how and when to play off the strengths of each other and how to execute successfully. They rely on you to create clearly defined roles that are flexible in times of need so there is never gap in progress if one person goes down. As a leader you must be able to illustrate the optimum plays so they know what contributions are expected of them. If you create a playbook for them to follow in any given situation when it comes time to play hard, they play well, with focus and purpose.
3. Select Team Captains
"Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team." – Scottie Pippen
Build leadership at all levels. Every team needs a captain, someone who can lead the day-to-day efforts, offer observations, model excellence and inspire the team to be "A" players. Captains are hands-on guides for shared goals, core values and alignment. Make the role of a captain something to which all players aspire.
4. Provide Consistent Feedback
"A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment." – John wooden
Coaches constantly observe performance – player behaviors, progress, trends and outcomes. They provide feedback, both praise and guidance, in real-time to clarify direction and ensure motivation. If coaches only provided performance reviews at the end of the season, their words would be futile and the results de-motivating. As a leader, you must be present for your team providing consistent consult and helpful perspective.
5. Celebrate Each Victory
It's awesome when you get to celebrate a championship victory, but there are a lot of wins before the final game, and each one needs to be recognized. Your team's performance will be better for it because recognizing each win…
demonstrates what's possible
provides the ultimate "visualization"
creates a culture of receptivity to guidance
builds motivation and commitment
And, always make sure you recognize those unsung heroes on your team!

Numerama est un site web d'actualité sur l'informatique et le numérique créé par Guillaume Champeau en 2002. Il est racheté par le groupe Humanoid en 2015, qui l'édite depuis lors.

Historique

Ratiatum et débuts
Numerama est créé en  par Guillaume Champeau, alors sous le nom de « Ratiatum » en référence à la cité éponyme. Le site est initialement un blog dédié au partage de fichiers en pair-à-pair ainsi qu'aux problématiques économiques et juridiques qu'il soulève.

Un magazine papier mensuel également rédigé par Guillaume Champeau et porté sur le même thème, Ratiatum Magazine, paraît fin 2004 avant que son éditeur ne fasse faillite et n'en arrête la publication en .

Le site web élargit ensuite sa couverture éditoriale à d'autres aspects du numérique et aux projets législatifs qui y sont liés ; le média propose par exemple à cette période des articles analysant et s'opposant à la loi Hadopi. Ratiatum change de nom pour « Numerama » début 2008 afin d'accompagner cette évolution.

Rachat par Humanoid

En , Guillaume Champeau cède PressTIC, son entreprise gérant Numerama. En octobre suivant, le site web rejoint le groupe Humanoid et subit une importante refonte graphique et structurelle tout en étendant sa ligne éditoriale à l'économie, aux sciences et à la pop culture. Guillaume Champeau reste rédacteur en chef du site à la suite de ce rachat ; Numerama employait alors trois journalistes. Il quitte finalement la société en .

En , le site lance une nouvelle rubrique, Vroom, dédiée au secteur de la mobilité et à ses innovations. Le mois suivant, Cyberguerre, rubrique du média consacrée à la cybersécurité, est également lancée.

Depuis , l'espace publicitaire du site est commercialisé par la régie 191 Media, également codirigée par Humanoid.

Début , le site subit une nouvelle refonte graphique et structurelle tout en projetant de commercialiser une offre payante en 2022. Les revenus du média étaient alors composés à parts quasiment égales de liens d'affiliation, de native advertising et de bannières publicitaires.

Audience
D'après un classement du Journal du Net publié en , Numerama totalisait environ  par mois à cette période.

Selon Médiamétrie, l'audience du site oscillait entre  et  mensuels pour le premier semestre de l'année 2015. Toujours selon Médiamétrie, ce sont  qui ont consulté le site en , le plaçant ainsi à la  place des sites d'actualité numérique en termes d'audience.

En , cette audience était de  de visiteurs uniques mensuels, Numerama étant  d'après son propriétaire.

Le site revendique une plage d'entre 7 et  de visiteurs uniques par mois en .

It's working on my demo folder, however, I've been using https://arthurdejong.org/webcheck/demo/ to test it and I'm getting the following error:
NoMethodError: undefined method `xpath' for nil:NilClass

I've tried building an array of extensions as I did wonder if that was what was causing the issue but so far no luck.
Does anyone have any tips on how to debug this or work the problem through?

A: It seems the error comes from page.doc.xpath : page.doc is nil.
Try to inspect your page in the on_every_page method.
You also can add a if before .xpath to avoid error:
anemone.on_every_page do |page|
  puts page.url.path
  if page.doc.present?
    links = page.doc.xpath("//a/@href")

Nursing home workers warn Congress 'crisis is far from over' even after COVID-19 vaccines
By Samantha Manning, CMG Washington News Bureau
September 24, 2022 at 10:01 am EDT
Nursing home workers warn Congress 'crisis is far from over' even after COVID vaccines The COVID-19 pandemic shined a light on the vulnerability of nursing home residents and employees around the country.
WASHINGTON D.C. — The COVID-19 pandemic shone a light on the vulnerability of nursing home residents and employees around the country.
Now even with the help of COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, which the industry says have significantly improved conditions in nursing homes, employees and people with loved ones in nursing homes are sounding the alarm to Congress that they still need help.
In a House hearing this week, they pointed to widespread staff shortages and low pay for nursing home employees.
"The crisis in our nursing homes is far from over," said Adelina Ramos, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Rhode Island. "We continue to face severe staffing shortages. CNAs are burnt out, mentally, physically. Our pay is so low that some of us have to work two or three jobs."
Ramos said the lack of resources often forces workers to choose between helping one elderly resident in need over another.
"I can't describe how painful it feels when we are forced to make those kinds of choices," said Ramos.
Testimony called for improved compensation for the workers tasked with caring for the elderly residents.
"They also need the resources, compensation, training and support to deliver that care," said Dr. Alice Bonner, chair of Moving Forward Nursing Home Quality Coalition and senior advisor for aging at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
Emotional testimony from a Brooklyn man highlighted the urgency to keep nursing home residents safe during a health crisis like the pandemic.
"I had four family members die," said Daniel Arbeeny. "My father, my uncle, my two close cousins of the virus. Three of them were in nursing homes."
Noah's Ark animal sanctuary will remain closed for several more months
High school football player dies after on-field head injury
Family of 78-year-old woman killed in Piedmont Hospital parking deck speaking out
Arbeeny argues those nursing home deaths are because of a 2020 New York State directive that nursing homes admit COVID-19 patients.
Arbeeny is suing the former governor of New York and other officials for failing to keep his father and other residents safe.
"Those are the ones we are supposed to honor and protect, and we failed," said Arbeeny. "We failed miserably."
Witnesses called for more accountability from nursing home owners and government agencies tasked with oversight of the facilities.
"We are fed up with the lack of respect nursing home owners and lawmakers show our workforce," said Ramos. "Change needs to happen now."

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan addresses a group of local administrators in Ankara, Turkey, Thursday, Sept. 29, 2016. Erdogan hinted on Thursday that the three-month state of emergency declared following the failed July 15 coup could be extended to over a year. Erdogan dismissed criticism over plans for Turkey to prolong the state of emergency, saying no one should determine a "calendar or roadmap" for Turkey.
Turkey's state of emergency may be extended, Erdogan hints
Extending the controversial emergency rule would strengthen Turkey's fight against terrorism, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday.
By Seda Sezer and Tuvan Gumrukcu Reuters
September 30, 2016 | ISTANBUL/ANKARA, TURKEY
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan suggested on Thursday that emergency rule could be extended beyond a year and rounded on rating agencies after Moody's cut Turkey to "junk" status, helping send the lira to its weakest in almost two months.
In a speech in Ankara, Erdogan said Turkey would benefit from a three-month extension to the three-month state of emergency declared after a failed July 15 coup, which the government says is needed to hunt down those responsible, but which critics say is being used to stifle dissent.
"It would be in Turkey's benefit to extend the state of emergency for three months," he told a group of provincial leaders at the presidential palace.
He then went on: "They say one year isn't right for Turkey. Let's wait and see, maybe 12 months won't be enough."
Speaking a day after the National Security Council recommended the extension of emergency rule, Erdogan said the measure would strengthen Ankara's fight against terrorism, adding he believed Turks would support it.
More than 100,000 people, including members of the police, civil service and military, have been sacked or suspended since the failed coup, in which a group of rogue soldiers commandeered tanks and jets in an attempt to seize power, killing at least 240 people. Around 40,000 people have been detained.
Rights groups, some Western governments, and Turkey's main opposition party have criticized the extent of the crackdown.
"Erdogan's critics accuse him and his Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP) of using the failed coup to enhance their powers, which already have few limits, as they suspend normal checks and balances," The Christian Science Monitor reported in July, after Erdogan first announced the state of emergency:
Critics and rivals have warned for years of Erdogan's growing authoritarian rule. For some, the state of emergency brings Turkey one step closer to a high-profile project to change the Constitution to create an all-powerful presidential system, with Erdogan unassailable at the top. ...
Officials say the new status is no different – and no more dangerous – than the state of emergency in France, which lawmakers extended by six months this week. Other emergencies have been declared in Germany and Belgium after attacks by the self-declared Islamic State.
But in Turkey, the AKP already controls parliament and the judiciary. It has cut the influence of the powerful military on civilian politics, and has won increasing majorities at the polls in virtually every vote since 2002.
The head of the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), Kemal Kilicdaroglu, said this month that the state of emergency should be used only to bring the country back to normal and that innocent people were suffering in the purges.
But the head of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), Devlet Bahceli, said on Thursday he supported the extension.
The government blames followers of Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen for the coup attempt and says the purges are necessary to root out members of his network, a stance the MHP supports.
Gulen, who has lived in self-imposed exile in the United States since 1999, has denied involvement in the attempted coup and condemned it.
"They love me too"
Moody's cut Turkey's sovereign debt to non-investment grade, or "junk," late on Friday, citing worries about the rule of law, as well as risks from a slowing economy.
Erdogan, who has frequently lambasted rating agencies in the past, joked sarcastically about his strained relations with them and said Moody's move was political.
"I love rating agencies and they love me too ... Put a few cents in their pockets and get the rating you want, this is how they work," he said, adding investors had shown strong demand for Turkish debt at an auction on Monday.
"They suddenly cut our rating. So what? ... Cut Turkey's rating as much as you want, this isn't the reality in Turkey," he said, adding nobody took ratings agencies seriously any more.
His comments were more combative than those of some of his ministers. Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek said Turkey would make "intense efforts" to restore its rating.
The lira hit its weakest against the dollar since Aug. 5 not long after Erdogan spoke, in what analysts said was largely a reaction to the extension of emergency rule.
"Probably the comments about the need for 12-month emergency rule...weighed more than the latest love fest with the ratings agencies," said Nomura strategist and veteran Turkey watcher Timothy Ash.
Erdogan announced the three-month state of emergency on July 20, saying it would enable authorities to take swift action against those responsible for the putsch.

Home / Local News / Not the last challenge from EU
Not the last challenge from EU
- by Marlon Madden February 26, 2021
Marlon Madden
Although rejoicing that Barbados has been removed from the European Union's (EU) so-called blacklist, Minister of International Business and Industry Ronald Toppin remains sceptical of the political and economic bloc, saying he sees a rough road ahead due to expected continued shifts in goal posts.
At the same time, one of Barbados' lead tax negotiators is predicting that the island could come up against taxation and sanctions on the quickly growing digital economy.
Speaking on Thursday at the annual tax update seminar hosted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Barbados (ICAB), Toppin said he remained optimistic the country would be able to overcome future obstacles relating to tax compliance.
Lauding the Barbados Revenue Authority (BRA) and the International Business Unit for their hard work over the past several months, Toppin said it was a challenge.
"Being in this position was extremely annoying since we were being forced to discharge a responsibility that should have been discharged over the period July 2015 to June 2018," Toppin told the online forum.
"Let me state, however, and strongly so, that the road ahead is still uphill, with goal posts changing ever so often and that, despite this early success, there is still work to be done as we aim as a government to position ourselves that the probability of EU countries taking defensive measures against Barbadian entities is greatly minimized," he said.
Toppin explained that in addition to reputational harm to countries that end up on the blacklist, the EU member states committed from January this year, to use the EU blacklist to apply one of four specific legislative measures.
"First, non-deductibility of costs incurred in a listed jurisdiction. This basically means that certain payments to a company in a listed jurisdiction which would normally be tax deductable by that company in their jurisdiction of origin, would no longer be deductable," he said.
"Secondly, controlled foreign company rules to limit artificial deferral of tax to offshore, low-taxed entities. This would affect a parent company in a European jurisdiction which has a subsidiary in Barbados. The parent company would be taxed on both incomes," he explained.
The other legislative measures, he said, would include the imposition of a withholding tax at the rate of the EU jurisdiction because Barbados is deemed to be below their tax threshold, or the limitation or abolishment of the participating exemption on shareholder dividends.
The EU Council had placed Barbados on its blacklist last year, following a peer review by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes, which rated Barbados as "partially compliant".
Barbados is due a supplementary review by the OECD's Global Forum sometime this year.
Toppin said in order to deal with existing concerns and take proactive steps a committee had been established, consisting of representatives from the BRA, the Corporate Affairs and Intellectual Property Office, the International Business Unit, and the Anti-money Laundering Authority, with him as Chairman.
"This is to ensure that we stay focused and keep the momentum in addressing the outstanding issues in preparation for the upcoming onsite inspection by the OECD," said Toppin.
"In addition, we have taken the initiative to submit periodic updates to officials of the Global Forum's Secretariat on our progress in addressing areas of concern," he said, adding that he remained confident that Barbados will overcome all the challenges.
Meanwhile, Kevin Hunte, Director of International Business in the International Business Division, predicted that Barbados could come up against further sanctions.
"I don't we can think final goal post and EU in the same sentence unless there is a negative before it. So there will never be a final goal post. That is my humble estimation. There will always be something coming down the pipe. We know that right now what is coming down and is around the corner is taxation in the digital economy," said Hunte.
Pointing out that the EU was "sitting back" and watching how things would first develop at the level of the OECD, Hunte said "I can almost promise you that once it is concluded at the OECD level, we will see the EU will come out and do one of two things – fully embrace it or they will fully embrace it and add on – and I am tempted to believe it will be the latter. What the add-on is unfortunately, we generally don't know." (MM)
Police investigate shooting at Baxter's Road, St Michael


The GlideScope in pediatric patients was not easy to use. Experienced intubators had technical difficulty 58% of the time, most often just as the tube passed the cords. Clockwise rotation helped passage. You must practice with it before you use it on live patients.
The GlideScope has a hyperangulated blade that only allows indirect visualization of the glottic opening and requires practice for success. How good is it in the pediatric population?
This was a prospective study of experienced intubators in 187 children under age 6. Technical difficulty was experienced in 58%, most often at the point when the tube was passing just beyond the cords. They found clockwise rotation was the most helpful maneuver to correct this. First-pass success was 80%; overall success was 98%. Given the hyperangulated blade, the stylet is also hyperangulated. Once past the cords, the tube curves up into the anterior tracheal wall and gets stuck. Options are to rotate clockwise, as in this study, or to back out the stylet and allow the tube to straighten. That is the way I was trained to do it with a GlideScope.

You can specify which grant type a client can use via the AllowedGrantTypes property on the Client configuration.
For security reasons, not all grant type combinations are allowed. See below for more details.
For the remainder, the grant types are briefly described, and when you would use them. It is also recommended, that in addition you read the corresponding specs to get a better understanding of the differences.
This is the simplest grant type and is used for server to server communication - tokens are always requested on behalf of a client, not a user.
With this grant type you send a token request to the token endpoint, and get an access token back that represents the client. The client typically has to authenticate with the token endpoint using its client ID and secret.
See the :ref:`Client Credentials Quick Start <refClientCredentialsQuickstart>` for a sample how to use it.
The resource owner password grant type allows to request tokens on behalf of a user by sending the user's name and password to the token endpoint. This is so called "non-interactive" authentication and is generally not recommended.
There might be reasons for certain legacy or first-party integration scenarios, where this grant type is useful, but the general recommendation is to use an interactive flow like implicit or hybrid for user authentication instead.
See the :ref:`Resource Owner Password Quick Start <_refResourceOwnerQuickstart>` for a sample how to use it. You also need to provide code for the username/password validation which can be supplied by implementing the IResourceOwnerPasswordValidator interface. You can find more information about this interface :ref:`here <refResourceOwnerPasswordValidator>`.
In the implicit flow, all tokens are transmitted via the browser, and advanced features like refresh tokens are thus not allowed.
Authorization code flow was originally specified by OAuth 2, and provides a way to retrieve tokens on a back-channel as opposed to the browser front-channel. It also support client authentication.
While this grant type is supported on its own, it is generally recommended you combine that with identity tokens which turns it into the so called hybrid flow. Hybrid flow gives you important extra features like signed protocol responses.
Hybrid flow is a combination of the implicit and authorization code flow - it uses combinations of multiple grant types, most typically code id_token.
In hybrid flow the identity token is transmitted via the browser channel and contains the signed protocol response along with signatures for other artifacts like the authorization code. This mitigates a number of attacks that apply to the browser channel. After successful validation of the response, the back-channel is used to retrieve the access and refresh token.
This is the recommended flow for native applications that want to retrieve access tokens (and possibly refresh tokens as well) and is used for server-side web applications and native desktop/mobile applications.
See :ref:`this <refHybridQuickstart>` quickstart for more information about using hybrid flow with MVC.
Device flow is designed for browserless and input constrained devices, where the device is unable to securely capture user credentials. This flow outsources user authentication and consent to an external device (e.g. a smart phone).
This flow is typically used by IoT devices and can request both identity and API resources.
Refresh tokens allow gaining long lived access to APIs.
You typically want to keep the lifetime of access tokens as short as possible, but at the same time don't want to bother the user over and over again with doing a front-channel roundtrips to IdentityServer for requesting new ones.
Refresh tokens allow requesting new access tokens without user interaction. Every time the client refreshes a token it needs to make an (authenticated) back-channel call to IdentityServer. This allows checking if the refresh token is still valid, or has been revoked in the meantime.
Refresh tokens are supported in hybrid, authorization code, device flow and resource owner password flows. To request a refresh token, the client needs to include the offline_access scope in the token request (and must be authorized to request for that scope).
Extension grants allow extending the token endpoint with new grant types. See :ref:`this <refExtensionGrants>` for more details.
Mixing implicit and authorization code or hybrid would allow a downgrade attack from the more secure code based flow to implicit.

Q: UPDATE from another table with multiple WHERE criteria In Postgres 9.5, I want to connect to another DB using Postgres' dblink, get data and then use them to update another table.
-- connect to another DB, get data from table, put it in a WITH
WITH temp_table  AS
(
    SELECT r_id, descr,  p_id
    FROM
    dblink('myconnection',
           'SELECT
            r_id, descr,   p_id
            FROM table
            WHERE table.p_id
            IN (10,20);'
    )
    AS tempTable(r_id integer, descr text, p_id integer)
)

-- now use temp_table  to update

UPDATE anothertable
SET
descr =temp_table.descr
FROM anothertable    AS x
INNER JOIN temp_table
ON
x.r_id = temp_table.r_id
AND
x.p_id = temp_table.p_id
AND
x.p_id IN (2)  ;

dblink works fine and if I do select * from temp_table  before the UPDATE, it has data.
The issue is the UPDATE itself. It runs with no errors, but it never actually updates the table.
I tried changing the UPDATE to:
UPDATE anothertable
SET
descr =temp_table.descr
FROM anothertable    AS x , temp_table
WHERE x.r_id = temp_table.r_id
AND
x.p_id = temp_table.p_id
AND
x.p_id IN (2)  ;

Same as above: runs with no errors, but it never actually updates the table.
I also tried to change the UPDATE to:
UPDATE anothertable
INNER JOIN temp_table
ON x.r_id = temp_table.r_id
    AND
    x.p_id = temp_table.p_id
    AND
    x.p_id IN (2)
    SET descr =temp_table.descr

But I get:

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "INNER" SQL state: 42601
Character: 1894

How can I fix this to actually update?

A: Don't repeat the target table in the FROM clause of the UPDATE:
WITH temp_table AS ( ... )

UPDATE anothertable x
SET    descr = t.descr
FROM   temp_table t
WHERE  x.r_id = t.r_id
AND    x.p_id = t.p_id
AND    x.p_id IN (2);

Or simplified:
...
AND    x.p_id = 2
AND    t.p_id = 2

The manual:

Do not repeat the target table as a from_item unless you intend a self-join (in which case it must appear with an alias in the from_item).

Serving as a "pisse-copie par excellence," which translates as a writer producing quantity over quality better than all others, the budding reporter made himself "indispensable." Georges was always ready to write anything on any topic. In fact, his three years as a reporter gave him vast experience, mostly because his subjects were "everything about everything." He "appreciated all he saw" and so he "perceived and understood" a host of "realities" on a daily basis. At the same time, he was able to develop a style on-the-job well beyond what had been that of a schoolboy.
Within a year of joining the paper, Georges got the chance to write his own regular column. He responded to this promotion, which recognized the quality of his service and way of expressing himself, by churning out 784 installments. Although he was generally careful in their construction, he fell prone to "fabrication." For example, there was the "Scoop." The eager columnist published a sensational interview with the illustrious Great War figure, Marshall Foch—that never took place.
Moreover, by citing a series of anti-Semitic writings and statements, Assouline does not let the mature author off the hook. Nevertheless, Simenon denied all as stated in a 1985 letter: "Those articles in no way reflected my thoughts then or now." And in another 1985 letter, he wrote: "Thus, I am in no way anti-Semitic." One might accept some of Simenon's defenses, which Assouline allows might help "to account" for the novelist, but this "does not excuse or justify" the reporter. In sum, Georges Simenon remains besmirched.


You need a Google account (gmail address) to use it.
Like gmail it makes extensive use of ajax for screen-based rather than page-based interactions.
On the plus side it's as jargon free as you can get with something like this. A healthy thing that should take the feed reader beyond the realm of the somehwat geeky.
The user interface lets you focus on articles and behaves like the "Preview Pane" in Outlook so you can move up and down the list of titles and the content will appear in a larger area of the screen to the right.
But in doing so it strips the content of any of its original personality and makes everything look the same.
You can label your subscriptions so you can find them later, in the same way you can label emails in gmail.
It mixes keyboard shortcuts with mouse clicks – I still haven't figured out how you'd add a Star to an article without a mouse.
But I don't get a sense of community from it and I can't see how I'd share stuff other than being able to blog it (if I was using blogger) or email it (if I was using gmail). It doesn't feel like a two-way thing.
I'm sticking with Bloglines for the time being.
You can star by pressing 's'. (Or at least that's what *should* work.) And all the stuff you've just mentioned will all be upcoming features – 1) blogging from properties other than Blogger, 2) Emailing from properties other than Gmail, 3) Relaxing the html stripping in posts.
Thank you for the feedback, it's just an infant right now and I'm hoping to make it grow up pretty fast.
Chris, thanks for the info.
The 's' key is now starring entries, not sure why it wasn't before.
And that's good to know about the other points.


I'm sure it won't be long before the Missoula guys host the Cheech and Chong film festival.
Re the public school dig, one thing I have come to rue is the practice of civilians to any specialized craft talking about things they only have disdain for (talk radio, anyone?).
It's a bit ironic that I am currently attending a conference on standardized student assessment. Granted, it's been a long two days so far and there is plenty of room for criticism (the seminar on NCLB was especially brutal). But as one who makes a living in standardized student assessment, a proponent of public education, parent of two public schooled kids and member of the PTC, there is a lot more to the story of public education in America than the sensationalized fact that 53% of 17-year-olds can't date the Civil War. For all the failures and inadequacies admitted by those in the system, there is still a hefty measure of virtue to the endeavor of public education.
Maybe this will be the beginning of logical thinking regarding Islam and the demands of the muslem students. I'd hate to think of the laughter by colleges if Christian students were to make demands.
A little over twenty years ago, Allen Bloom wrote a book called "The Closing of the American Mind." Bloom suggested that the college freshmen he taught in the 1980's were far less prepared to learn than were his students twenty years earlier. Like one of the authors of the USA Today article, Bloom contended that history, the humanities and literature seemed to be less a part of a secondary education than in previous generations. I've not seen anything to suggest that the college preparedness situation has reversed itself since the late 1980's.
Therefore, when a journalist/generalist comes along, breaks with convention and sympathizes with the taxpayer I think they are rendering a public service. It might be a bit much to expect "specialists" in the education establishment to critique themselves. However, if they decide to do so, they ought to do it in a full page ad in the USA TODAY. I'm sure they can afford it.
But there have been accommodations of Christian (and Jewish) students at many universities. At my own, we don't have exams on Saturdays or Sundays. Saturday exams were stopped specifically at the request of the Jewish students' society.
Is that a "ridiculous demand"?
"Quantum spirituality bonds us to all creation as well as to other members of the human family. New Light pastors are what Arthur Peacocke calls "priests of creation"70--earth ministers who can relate the realm of nature to God, who can help nurture a brother-sister relationship with the living organism called Planet Earth. This entails a radical doctrine of embodiment of God in the very substance of creation." (pdf page 89) This, he acknowledges, is panentheism.
Sweet has co-authored a book, co-produced an audio series, and received an endorsement on another book from...Rick Warren.
Hi Paul, you seem skeptical of the Missoula Project. That's certainly understandable, I suppose, given for what passes for Christianity these days. However, I'd encourage you to be a little more charitable in what you say publicly about other churches, or to at least ask for clarifying information first. Please feel free to shoot me an email (christian.cryder@gmail.com) or call me directly (406-529-5568) if you have any questions you'd like me to answer.

Marta originally painted it for me as a gift to use at birth events and venues for my display table, but I couldn't resist displaying the beautiful painting on this site and my Twitter and Facebook accounts.
I proudly display "Sweet Dreams" on the wall in my teaching room where she invites serenity to mamas as they relax and savor every minute of their blissful pregnancy.
Thank you, Marta! My heart is full of gratitude for you, your kindness and our many years of friendship.


GLASS MOSAIC There are 16 products.
We present you with a wide range of glass mosaics produced in our factory.
We make glass mosaics in the following groups.
Thanks to the fact that we are a producer, we offer a wide range and the lowest prices.
Glass mosaics, after appearing on the Polish market, found (despite quite high prices) many supporters.
Reason? There are at least a few of them.
First of all - originality.
Glass mosaics, although built in the same way, may differ from each other diametrically (you can make virtually any mosaic, the limit is only the imagination of the creator). If he lacks it, you can use one of the designs available in numerous templates. There are both futuristic landscapes, classic views and paintings showing, for example, nature. There are plenty of possibilities, and that means that everyone will find something for themselves.
The second reason - chic and elegance at a level much higher than that achieved thanks to the tiles.
The effect that a glass mosaic gives (especially with properly selected lighting and color of the room) will ensure that no additional decorations are needed in a given room.
The third "for" is universality.
A glass mosaic can cover the entire wall, or just one element. It can also be used as a housing for some piece of furniture or equipment - eg a bathtub or properly placed, to be a decorative accent. The advantages of mosaics also include the ease of cleaning. These are not old-fashioned tiles whose grooves and gaps between them must be scrubbed with small brushes. A simple cloth is enough here. Just.

Award fitting for Stanley Gault
By BOBBY WARREN
COLUMBUS -- For Stanley Gault to be recognized as the first recipient of an award recognizing outstanding trustees from Ohio's independent colleges is, in a word, fitting, family and friends said.
Gault, former chairman of The College of Wooster's board, received the Earl F. Morris Trustee Award from the Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges at the organization's Evening of Excellence Wednesday at the Statehouse.
Edward Hartzell, chairman of the OFIC board, noted in his introduction of the former chief executive officer of Rubbermaid and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., that Gault was also inducted into the first class of the organization's hall of fame in 1987.
Gault graduated from The College of Wooster in 1948, as did his wife, Flo. He served as class president each year he was at the school. He later joined the alumni board and became a trustee in 1972, serving until 2000. Upon his retirement from the board, he was named emeritus life member.
Stanley Gault said he had four careers in his lifetime: General Electric, Rubbermaid, Goodyear and Avon. However, there was really a fifth: The College of Wooster.
The Gault have been generous contributors to their alma mater over the years. Their gifts allowed for the construction of the Gault Admissions Center, the Flo K. Gault Library for Independent Study, Gault Manor, a student residence, and a recital hall in the music
center. A home was renovated and has become the Gault Alumni Center.
After receiving the award, Stanley Gault said he was surprised and amazed to be the first recipient. He praised the broad, liberal arts education provided by The College of Wooster and Ohio's other 33 independent colleges. He said a liberal arts education is the best preparation to be successful.
The nation faces a critical shortage of leadership, he said, not only in government, but in business, education and the church. Technical skills are not enough to overcome this gap. It will require the preparation at small, liberal arts colleges.
He recalled a time when he met J.C. Penney. The famed retailer said, "Young man, at my age, my eyesight might be failing, but my vision continues to improve."
America is crying out for people with true vision and leadership skills, Stanley Gault said.
A contingent from Wooster traveled to Columbus to share in the celebration with the Gaults.
"This is a very, very special honor," Flo Gault said, considering it was the first year for the award.
"It's a wonderful tribute," Stephen Gault said of his father's honor. "He serves as a real inspiration for all of us.
"No one loves The College of Wooster more than he does," Jennifer Marsh said of her father.
Marsh said she thinks there are several reasons why her father loves the school, including, "He grew up on College Avenue, and it's where he met mom.
"He never forgot where he came from."
The Gaults' son, Chris, who is a missionary in Costa Rica, was not able to attend the ceremony.
Richard Seaman, chief executive officer of the Seaman Corp. and a College of Wooster trustee, said the recognition reflects Gault's commitment to a liberal arts education and the leadership he provided to the college.
"He's a great man with a big heart who done more to help others than people will know," said Bill Evans, another school trustee.
"For Stan to get the first such award is fitting," said Grant Cornwell, president of The College of Wooster. "He's an inspiration, not just for the college, but for the state in his leadership and commitment to higher education."
Jim Miller, executive director of The Village Network, said also said the recognition was fitting because, "He truly represents the best of a liberal arts education, not only in his lifetime achievements, but in the way he gives back to the community and in his support of his alma mater."
"If ever anybody deserved to be first for that award, Stan Gault is the man," Greg Long, another trustee, said later. "What he has done for The College of Wooster and independent colleges cannot be measured.
"He is an amazing man. He's given so much. I think it is fantastic. Who would be a better recipient for this first honor?"

Add this new comedy magic wand to your Christmas shows for lots of laughs! It's not just another comedy wand but a whole routine!
If you entertain children with magic, then there is no doubt you get invited to perform for Christmas parties. This new wand by Tommy James is loaded with bits of business guaranteed to get laughs during your show. Use this wand anytime in your show when you have a helper on stage and you need a magic wand.
Tell the kids that last year you asked Santa for a new magic wand but if you show it to them, they must promise NOT to laugh at it. Bring out the wand. It is bright red with white tips and a white pom pom on the top. Of course, the kids laugh. Explain that it must be very powerful if it was made by Santa's elves. Show your helper how to wave the wand, as you demonstrate by waving it up, down, all around and in circles etc. Hand the wand to your helper and ask them to wave the wand and when they do, the pom pom falls off and onto the floor! (If you're an advocate for not having props break in a child's hand, then just have it fall off in YOUR own hand) Oh NO! The magic wand must be defective! Lets see if we can fix it. Place the pom pom back onto the wand. Wave it up, down, all around etc. There! All fixed! Hand the wand back to the helper, they wave it and the pom pom falls off again! I'm putting in a complaint to Santa! Place the pom pom back onto the wand. Wave it up, down and all around as you say: It will NEVER fall off again! Just as you say that, the pom pom falls off while the wand is in YOUR hands. You don't see it, but the kids do and they will let you know! Fix it one more time. Gesture with the wand towards the audience. This is NOT funny! The pom pom goes flying again!
This is a job for . . . INVISIBLE GLUE! Bring out a small bottle labeled "INVISIBLE GLUE." Unscrew the cap and pretend to pour some glue into the end of the wand but, oh no, you accidentally spilled some on the floor! Remove a cloth from your case and wipe up the glue. You throw the cloth back into your case. You continue the routine but you don't realize the cloth is now stuck to your thumb! You don't see it, but the kids do! AHHH! The cloth is glued to my thumb! You finally get free of the cloth but now it's stuck to your OTHER thumb! Pandemonium! Play this back and fourth a few times and finally get free of the cloth.
Screw the cap back onto the glue bottle and place the bottle on your table. Continue with the routine but you don't realize the GLUE BOTTLE is now stuck to your thumb! You don't see it but the kids are going crazy trying to tell you! You finally get free of the bottle. Place the pom pom back onto the wand. It is now secure and can be used in your routine. There are more bits of business in this routine than you can shake a wand at!
Wand measures 15 inches and is totally mechanical and very easy to operate. Comes complete with gimmicked glue bottle, gimmicked cloth and Tommy's routine.

30. A creative journal and activity book combination so they can unleash their strangest self without alarming the people around them.
It's filled with creatures to color, lists, writing prompts, activities, and more!!
31. A pair of custom dog socks that'll give them something comforting (and ADORABLE) to gaze at whilst staring at their feet all day. There's no place like home, especially when that means your dog and no people.
Just upload a photo of your furry friend and they'll take care of the rest!
Get them from Amazon for $24 (available in sizes S-L and ten styles).
32. An iron-on patch, because hopefully this will give them a daily reminder to THINK before speaking. Maybe the next time they're about to ask their date if they shower a lot, they'll stop themselves.
33. A Tina Belcher sticker for an infallible pickup line from the queen of awkward herself that they can trust will work, sweaty palms be damned.
Get it from Pen & Felt on Red Bubble for $2.68+ (available in sizes S-XL) or a similar style from Amazon for $4.99.
34. A doge coin purse so they'll have someone to join them in giving people the side eye when they ask to sit next to them on the train.
The rest of the car is EMPTY?!
Promising review: "I absolutely love it. It's even better than the photo and adorable down to the lining on the inside. It can be used to carry money/coins but is large enough to fit small cosmetic items as well. I loved it so much I immediately placed an order for another. Can't wait to give the next one as a gift. I'm sure I'll order more." —Joanna B.

Pope prays for Philippines after killer typhoon
Dec 8, 2012 9:32 PM PHT
VATICAN CITY, Italy – Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday, December 8, issued a call for "brotherly solidarity" with the Philippines after a typhoon killed at least 500 people and left tens of thousands homeless in the south of what is Asia's bastion of Catholicism.
The pontiff said during his weekly Angelus address that he felt "close to the people of the Philippines affected" by Typhoon Pablo (International name: Bopha), which forecasters said would turn back towards the country and hit again early Sunday.
"I pray for the victims, their families and the many homeless," he said, adding that he hoped faith and Christian charity would help the country get through the ordeal.
The Philippines is Asia's largest Catholic outpost, with 80 percent of the population adherents to the faith thanks to more than three centuries of Spanish rule that began in the 1500s.
Typhoon Pablo returns
At least 548 people were killed and about 500 others are missing after Bopha smashed into the east coast of the southern island of Mindanao with gusts of up to 210 kilometres (130 miles) an hour on Tuesday, December 4.
Around 212,000 other people have also been left homeless, according to the civil defense office.
To date, at least 1,077,541 families or 5,317,275 people have been affected by the deadly Typhoon "Pablo," according to the estimates of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
OCHA is coordinating an international humanitarian assistance to the Philippines. To date, various foreign donors have already pledged to provide financial assistance to the humanitarian response.
On Saturday, December 8, Philippine President Benigno Aquino III declared a national state of calamity. On the same day, the state weather service said the typhoon would slam into the northern tip of the main island of Luzon early Sunday, bringing heavy rainfall to the area. – Agence France-Presse


SANTA CLARA, California—The Healthcare Information Management Outsourcing Association of the Philippines (HIMOAP) is setting new heights in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) arena in the world today. As the leading markets – United States, Canada, Europe – pose for a growing healthcare information management (HIM) sector, the Philippines is poised to be the emerging and leading destination for various outsourcing in health information management.
The conference brought together BPO companies, providers, payers, regulators, academe, associations and professionals engaged in the industry to tackle the diverse opportunities and challenges in order to position the Philippines achieve a significant market share in HIM. HIMOSC 2011 is part of the national advocacy in order to create the right business environment for the HIM outsourcing to successfully thrive.
The Philippines has gained a good momentum in creating international awareness as HIMOAP member companies joined the 83rd AHIMA Conference and Exhibit on October 1-6, 2011 in Salt Lake City, Utah, where the delegates showcased the Philippine capability in HIM outsourced services such as medical transcription, coding and billing, pharmacy benefits management, electronic medical records (EMR) solution, medical research, etc.
Around 300 attendees visited the Philippine booth and several business meetings were held with a healthcare facility, HIM staffing agency and a HIM service provider. HIMOAP company delegates included representatives from RxSecure, CCK City Network, MxSecure Philippines, Pointwest Technologies, Transcribe Media, Total Transcription Solutions, Inc. and Transkripsyo.
The country participation to AHIMA is supported by the Department of Trade and Industry and the Department of Science and Technology through the Information and Communications Technology Office. Since 2005, DTI has been supporting Philippine participation to AHIMA.
In a recent speech, Secretary Gregory Domingo acknowledged the IT industry (healthcare information management being part of it) as one of the key big industry winners which government will continue to push for growth and support in a big way.
On October 25, HIMOAP will continue its international visibility during the Healthcare Forum at the Philippine Center in New York City. The forum is jointly organized by DTI, Philippine Consulate General- New York, Philippine American Chamber of Commerce NY and the Philippine BPO/IT Council.
Current health reforms and EMR implementation in the United States are creating career opportunities for Filipino nurses and medical practitioners as more and more functions are outsourced in the revenue cycle management involving specialized skills in healthcare, both on the provider and payer sides.
HIMOAP (www.himoap.com) is a non-stock, non-profit organization which aims to promote the Philippines as the outsourcing destination of choice for healthcare information management services. HIMOAP has around 45 member companies engaged in HIM outsourcing services.

Popular wild animals found to be disadvantaged
If you're an endangered wild animal and ridiculously good looking then it could be a distinct disadvantage. A study has found the most popular endangered species are seen so often in the media that it creates a false impression of well being.
Ally Ripley | Nature
The popularity of endangered species may actually be a disadvantage to their continued survival, a recent study suggests.
The study, conducted by a team of scientists and published in PLOS Biology last month, used a combination of surveys and pop culture representation to establish the ten most 'charismatic' wild animals. In order, these were: tiger, lion, elephant, giraffe, leopard, panda, cheetah, polar bear, grey wolf, and gorilla. Nine of the ten species (all but the grey wolf) are classified by IUCN criteria as either Vulnerable, Endangered or Critically Endangered.
Researchers also examined the representation of these animals in culture, finding for example that the average person probably saw more lions in a year than remain in Africa. They then questioned survey participants to establish whether they were aware of the endangered status of the animals – participants included members of the general public, as well as one group of all university students. "On average, one in two persons was incorrectly assessing the endangerment of these animals," the study concludes.
Disadvantages Of Biodiversity
Dr. Franck Courchamp, the lead author on the study, theorizes that the 'virtual abundance' of these charismatic animals in media, advertising, popular culture and children's cartoons may be creating the false impression that these animals are in similar abundance in the wild. The study provides evidence of correlation between these ideas, but further research would be necessary to confirm causation.
Courchamp was motivated to conduct the study in part due to ongoing conversations in wildlife conservation efforts, in which the claim is often made that popular animals like lions and tigers get the majority of attention and funding for conservation. The study certainly indicates that awareness is not where it could be, with 60.1% of respondents unaware that giraffes are Endangered, and 57.8% unaware of lions' Vulnerable status.

"At the moment we are doing first aid on species that are on the verge of dying," Courchamp said to the BBC. "We are just pushing the day they go extinct in the wild, we are not saving them."

The study has an unconventional idea for how to go about improving awareness – and funding – for these threatened charismatic animals – to require financial contributions from companies that use endangered species in their marketing. This method would take advantage of their ubiquitous presence in the public eye, using this virtual representation to increase the actual number of animals in the wild.
The study concludes with a call to arms: "Setting up such a fund-raising scheme will require innovative interdisciplinary works involving conservation scientists, environmental economists, and legal scholars, but the relevant expertise is available, and action is required urgently."

Q: Is .zfproject.xml a must in a Zend Framework project?
*

*Is .zfproject.xml a must in a Zend Framework project?

*What does it do?

*Is it's location absolute?

A: Just to add, the zfproject.xml is not needed if you don't use Zend_Tool.
So it's not a must. Personally, I manage all my zf projects more or less without a command line and it works fine for me.

A: Basically if your going to use Zend_Tool, stick with it. Zend Tool doesn't like it when you create MVC manually. Its just another layer of abstraction that you can probably live without.

A: When using Zend_Tool to manage your Zend Framework project, .zfproject.xml will contain your application structure state. This is required by Zend_Tool (and only by it) to be able to work, e.g. add code to certain parts., generate things, etc.
Quoting ZF Manual on Zend_Tool_Project:

So, for example, if in one command you created a controller, and in the next command you wish to create an action within that controller, Zend_Tool_Project is gonna have to know about the controller file you created so that you can (in the next action), be able to append that action to it.

I am not sure if Zend_Tool can be configured to use a different path to .zfproject.xml. My suggestion would be to leave it untouched. It's a hidden file anyway.

A: I am using zend framework 1.10. Whenever I create a action using zf tool it re-indents the code in the controller file and removes some function closing brackets. It is kind of buggy, so will not be using it from now on.

Leadership Africa graduates, facilitators, and distinguished guests at the program's first graduation ceremony

Leadership Africa program stages joyous graduation celebration
Leadership Africa, the African Leadership Group's new professional and civic leadership program, held its first graduation ceremony during a high-spirited celebration on the evening of October 23 at the Doubletree Hotel in Aurora.
In attendance at the event were the 24 graduates and their families, as well as dignitaries and community well-wishers. And if the graduation felt like it was a long time coming, that's because launching Leadership Africa has been a priority for several years, but until recently, funding it proved a challenge.
"For six years we've been trying to start this program and nobody wanted to fund it," said ALG Founder and Executive Director Papa Dia, one of the graduates. "We've been always asked to go to Leadership Aurora or Leadership Denver (programs run by local chambers of commerce.
"But the reality is we have our own culture, our own reality, and it was extremely important to us to have our own leadership program. Our program is designed by us, for us, to us and we hope to make it the pathway for the next generation. So that the seat we want at the table is at the head of the table."
State Senator Rhonda Fields, an Aurora Democrat, started off the evening with a moving address about her evolving perspective on leadership. A former businesswoman who was driven to enter politics by the murder of her son in 2005, Fields said that part of leadership is learning to tell our stories.
"Because in our stories, there are lessons. There are lessons of grief. There are lessons of pain. There are also lessons of glory. And there are also lessons of joy. So never be ashamed to tell your story. I've been empowered by my story."
When she decided to run for office, Fields said, she did so "with no roadmap. But I surrounded myself around people that helped me navigate it."
As aspiring leaders, Fields advised the graduates to "adapt, have courage, and always stay true to your boundaries. Because that's what leadership is about. It's about your integrity."
Next, Leadership Africa's co-facilitators, Emilie Gettliffe and Effley Brooks, discussed their experiences with the program. Gettliffe called her experience with the inaugural class "absolutely incredible," and added that "today comes from a lot of effort, a lot of love and passion from a whole team of folks who have been building this together, and from the participants themselves who made this program."
Brooks said he has been running leadership programs for more than 20 years, and that Leadership Africa stood apart from the others. "I've had the privilege of working with some of the most unbelievable people around the world, and when Emily invited me to join her to lead on this project. I was excited," he said.
"There is one aspect that made this different from all the other leadership programs I've had their hearts, their souls. They got so deep, on the very first day, I talk all the time about how incredible this has been. I've done a lot of leadership growth. This is special."
The four groups of participants who took on special projects then presented their experiences working on issues of homlessness, mental health, voter participation, and breaking barriers between African Immigrants and African Americans. You can read details about the four projects here.
Several graduates also gave moving talks about the impact Leadership Africa has had on their lives and their perceptions of themselves as leaders. We will be publishing some of those talks on the ALG website soon. Check back to read them.
After the graduates received their certificates, the celebration concluded in classic ALG style: with joyous dancing.
