Dealership service writers will know what the problem is before the truck drives onto the lot. Predictive analytics can help with parts inventory and technician training programs to keep the service process moving faster.
In a sense, both trains of thought are legitimate. The end game is the same, but the tools have changed. Can today's tools get us any closer than 75 or 80% accuracy?
The data that we get today is extremely powerful, but the science behind a failure is extremely difficult to prove, because there are so many contributing factors, such as evolving truck technology and different applications and duty cycles.
Even the value of that historical data is debatable because some technology evolves so quickly. "Parts are constantly changing, so it's very difficult to say new components will perform the same way old components did," Puff adds.
If historical data on component lifecycles is no longer a reliable predictor of impending failure, then what we have left is scientific evidence, he says – which isn't hard to come by with today's technology.
Previous fault codes and historical data can inform and develop effective preventive maintenance programs that keep you ahead of the problems.
Recent-vintage trucks produce about four gigabytes of data in a single day. Much of that is related to the condition and operation of the hundreds of onboard systems and components. Capturing meaningful bits of information that contain clues about a potential problem is the new science of predictive maintenance – or predictive analytics.
It's not predictive in the old sense, where we wanted to know at what mileage a part would fail so we could pull it in advance. This is more about identifying problems on the fly and formulating correct responses to the problem.
Mader says it's not usually a go/no-go proposition (though that can be the case with critical failures), but rather a probability situation. The system sorts through a collection of fault codes and determines that when certain conditions are present, a particular failure will result 75-80% of the time. "We are giving you enough information to imply the likelihood of an occurrence," he says.
Determining the appropriate course of action may still require a little troubleshooting by the maintenance department. Jarit Cornelius, vice president of maintenance and compliance at Ethridge, Tennessee-based Sharp Transport, has been studying the fault codes and probable-failure messages and has developed a proactive and evolving preventive maintenance program based on what's going wrong in the field.
Sharp's program pulls together the history and science of truck maintenance. Cornelius used the codes to foretell of a problem, and the historical data from previous failures to prevent reoccurrences.
While aftertreatment system faults are amply represented in the data, they are supplemented with additional background information that can help identify the source of the problem.
Fleets can now use the benefits of analytics and historical data to decide whether they should pull a part before it fails in order to prevent an in-service failure that might lead to unscheduled downtime.
Thermo King's senior manager of digital analytics, Scott Stark, says the benefits of doing that proactive service can often be hard to quantify.
But if you replace a part before it fails, is it eligible for warranty?
Usually not, we're told. But if you wait for it to fail, you'll have other indirect costs – opportunity costs, towing, inconvenience, customer dissatisfaction, unhappy drivers ... Depending on the cost of the part, it might be much less expensive to give up the warranty. However, data might reveal a pattern to the failures than can help settle a claim with an OEM if it can be shown to be a repeated failure, as Cornelius did recently.
Drivers needn't fear the red and yellow dash lamps. The fleet and the OEM probably already know what the problem is before the light even comes on.
Fleets have all this data streaming at them; what do they do with it? Many fleets operate trucks from a variety of manufacturers, which imposes its own maintenance hurdles, but how do they manage to sort diagnostic data from different sources? A cross-platform solution such as TripVision from Noregon permits the fleet to monitor all its trucks without switching between applications.
On top of that, a fleet manager with a single consolidated portal can view the status of all the equipment, its maintenance history, current faults, and where those assets are and when they will be returned to service.
There's no doubt that on-board diagnostics and predictive analytics have brought more certainty to the preventive maintenance process, but some seasoned maintenance specialists insist there's a need to "understand the iron," too.

Q: Elastic potential of a balloon and pressure equilibrium There are two different pressures acting on the surface of a balloon, the external one is clearly weaker than the internal one, so there must be a force that create equilibrium and avoid the balloon to break.
Now, this force is determined by the elastic potential Ue of the surface (measured in J).
How is this force related to the two different pressures?
I am aware of Laplace equation, but it includes a surface tension (measured in N/m) that I really don't know how to compute starting from the value of Ue expressed in Joule.
Thank you!

Qatar expects to handle 35 million passengers this year
The General Authority of Civil Aviation in Qatar said it expects Hamad International Airport, the headquarters of the national carrier, Qatar Airways, to receive between 34 million and 36 million passengers this year, almost double the number of last year.
This expectation assumes that the recovery in travel comes in the face of easing restrictions on travel imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, reports a local Arabic daily quoting Reuters.
The authority added that between 3.5 million and 4.1 million passengers will arrive, depart and transit from Qatar in November, and between 3.6 million and 4.7 million in December.
This period coincides with the FIFA World Cup hosted by Qatar. During that period, from mid-November to mid-December, airlines in the Middle East are expected to operate dozens of flights to and from Doha on match days, and Qatar will use its old airport, Doha International Airport, in addition to the new airport, the Hamad International Airport.
Hamad International Airport, which receives only international flights, handled 17.7 million passengers in 2021 and 38.8 million passengers in 2019, the year before the pandemic.

I read an interesting, albeit quite old, post by a guy called kstaken called "Has Microsoft lost its Marketing Touch?" about Microsoft's track record of failure to capitalise on its own marketing hype. I found it interesting because it talks particularly about the Tablet PC.
Back in the day, I was actually quite involved with the marketing of the Tablet PC when I was working with Microsoft Australia's case study program. As a technical writer it was my job to write business case studies on how Microsoft technologies were being implemented for success in the corporate and educational arenas. Just before the tablets were released I had the job of getting all the rapid deployment program (pre-release) stories together, writing all the case studies, and even travelling with the film crew as they made short promo pieces about the tablet technology. When the day arrived for the release it was with much fanfare, a big press event in Sydney, and then… nothing.
Well very little anyway. The technology was promising, so much so that I bought a Tablet PC myself. As it turns out, the build quality was crap and, despite having a couple of years of use out of the machine, it was a reasonable concept executed in a mediocre way and marketed even more poorly. As a teacher, I saw great potential for tablet technology, in lots of really interesting ways, but thanks to an almost total lack of promotion by one of the world's biggest companies, there are still very few people who have even heard of tablets. Even among schoolage kids, usually a pretty switched on bunch when it comes to technology and gadgets; most of my students are amazed when I show them my tablet PC and usually have the same response… "I want one!"… but of course nobody actually gets one, because the marketing is so abysmally poor. It always starts out big and bold, but then just dribbles into nothing.
Where do these much hyped products go? What DID happen to the Tablet PC, the PocketPC phone, SmartDisplays, Windows XP Media Center, the "top secret" Origami Project? What about Sharepoint or, heaven forbid, .NET? Why do they always amount to 4/5's of bugger all? Already it seems that future products such as Vista are running out of steam before they even get off the ground. What on earth is Microsoft doing wrong? Surely a cashed up company like Bill's can afford to get some of their marketing right?
I met a lot of bright, well meaning people at Microsoft who believe that the products they market are good stuff, and who genuinely want those products to be a success. They must get incredibly frustrated by the failure of the marketing machine to follow through.
I don't much care for Microsoft's products these days, and have abandoned Windows in favour of another more mature (dare I say, real) operating system. But I just can't figure out why Microsoft has so much trouble following up on those products that it goes to so much trouble to develop.
I just finished reading an interesting book about blogging, titled Who Let the Blogs Out, but a guy called Biz Stone. I'm still wondering what the name Biz might be short for, but regardless, I did find it quite an engaging read. Biz Stone was a very early blogger, was involved in created Xanga, has written a couple of books on the subject and now works at Google helping run Blogger. I guess that makes his opinions worth hearing, purely just based on his credentials.
The overriding message I took from his book was that the true worth of blogging cannot be appreciated on a small scale. A single blog post, or even a single blog, is not what it's all about. Blogging gets it's power from becoming a large scale ecosystem, a thriving community of people all cross linking to each other, creating connections and networks of ideas. The power of blogging is way more than the sum of its individual parts, and to gauge the power of this new medium it needs to be seen in the light of the much bigger picture that it creates.
He draws some good analogies, some of which coincidentally come from the last book I read before this one, The Wisdom of Crowds by James Surowiecki. The point made in that book, in fact both books, is that groups of people can be collectively smarter than the brightest individuals within the group, if the group is made up of diverse individuals with a broad range of views, supported by a medium that allows them to communicate freely.
Sounds like blogging to me.
I figured that since I was enjoying the whole blogging experience during our teaching exchange to Canada, I would start another blog, this time focussed on matters educational/technological. I plan to use it mainly to air my thoughts and ideas about the uses of technology, especially with regard to education, but pretty much about whatever I feel like writing about.
I can see a lot of potential for the uses of blogs, wikis and podcasts in the educational environment, but it will be interesting to see exactly how it all pans out. I did convert a largely textbook task into a podcast project last semester, and I think it worked out ok, but this semester I am going to try to push things a bit further.

Vice Admiral George Darby (c.1720 – 1790) was a Royal Navy officer. He commanded HMS Norwich at the capture of Martinique in 1762 during the Seven Years' War. He went on to command the Channel Fleet during the American Revolutionary War and later in that war served as First Naval Lord when he commanded the force that relieved Gibraltar from its siege by the Spanish in April 1781.

Naval career

Early career

Darby was the second son of Jonathan Darby (III) (d.1742/3) and Anna Marie Frend both of Leap Castle, in King's County, Ireland. He joined the Royal Navy as a volunteer in September 1742. Promoted to post-captain on 12 September 1747, he received his first command, the sixth-rate HMS Aldborough. He went on to become commanding officer of the sixth-rate HMS Seahorse in 1756 and of the fourth-rate HMS Norwich in 1757 in which he served under Admiral Rodney at the capture of Martinique in 1762 during the Seven Years' War. After that he became commanding officer of the third-rate HMS Devonshire in 1760.

American War of Independence
In the American Revolutionary War of 1775 to 1783, Admiral Keppel's resignation during the crisis following the Battle of Ushant in 1778 left a vacancy for command of the Channel Fleet. On 23 January 1778 Darby became a rear-admiral and on 19 March 1779 he was promoted to vice-admiral, thanks to his association with Lord Sandwich, First Lord of the Admiralty, during the court martial of Admiral Palliser. Thus he unexpectedly came to command the Channel Fleet in 1780 at a time of grave danger for the kingdom.

Darby was appointed to the Board of Admiralty as First Naval Lord in the North ministry in September 1780. In April 1781 he relieved Gibraltar from its siege by the Spanish, for the second time during that war. This event is recorded in a full-length portrait by George Romney, painted 1783–6, which hangs in the National Maritime Museum. On the change of ministry in April 1782 he resigned his command and did not again serve at sea; he also resigned his seat on the Admiralty Board. He was Member of Parliament for Plymouth, from 1780 to 1784. He lived at Newtown House at Newtown in Hampshire and died in 1790.

Personal life
When in England he lived at Newtown House, Newtown, Hampshire and had five children. Darby was married to Mary, daughter of Sir William St Quintin, 4th Baronet and then to Ann Bridges, a widow whose brother was colonial agent and MP, Richard Jackson.
Darby's male issue achieved high military rank and held significant wealth:
William Thomas St Quentin (1769-1805) lived at Darby House, Sunbury on Thames and later at Scampston Hall, Malton, Yorkshire
Colonel Matthew Chitty Downes St. Quintin (his son)
Major-General Matthew Chitty Darby-Griffith (1772–1823) lived at Padworth House, Berkshire

Q: Detecting loading of class library Is there a way for class library to detect when it's loaded, in order to perform some initialization?
I've tried adding Program.cs with static Main method, which didn't help. I tried setting Startup object in project properties, but only (None) is available.
I know Win32 libraries have entry points, do .NET class libraries have them?

A: You can't do it directly in C# or VB.NET, but the CLR itself supports Module Initializers, which I think is what you're asking for.  You'd normally need to use ilasm in order to pull it off.
It looks like somebody also figured out a way to do it in C# using Mono.Cecil.  It's still pretty complicated.  You're better off using a static constructor if you know that some specific type will be referenced as soon as the assembly is loaded.  Otherwise - good luck.


Features: SAFE® Technology: 3 flight modes, self-leveling and panic switch. Collective pitch. Direct drive tail motor.
Specs: Main rotor diameter 310mm. Length 12 in. Flying weight 6.0 oz.

Giving downtown Enumclaw a sense of place
Benches, street lights and public art help make downtown attractive for private developers.
By AL ZELINKA
RBF Consulting
Courtesy RBF Consulting
Enumclaw's new streetscape has no curbs to give merchants flexibility in extending outdoor dining.
Community-based planning yields thousands of ideas and provides a workable plan which supports the values, challenges and visions expressed by a community. The city of Enumclaw believed in its vision and primary goal to focus on its unique historical, cultural, social and economic factors, while upholding local values surrounding a sense of place, history and human scale.
Bedroom community
Enumclaw has historically been a commerce center for the Enumclaw Plateau, with most residents finding employment in the community in either the timber or agricultural industries. Virtually all goods and services were bought downtown. Within the past 15 years that trend has dramatically changed.
A significant amount of residential growth has occurred in Enumclaw as people have moved out of the urban area to the fringe cities in search of affordable homes and/or quality of life. In the meantime, both industries that traditionally provided many of the local jobs left. Most residents now commute to the urban areas for employment.
Enumclaw has become a bedroom community, which has reduced its citizens' interest in patronizing downtown businesses. The days of community focus upon downtown have left, providing a significant challenge to improve the sense of place in downtown.
During the mid-1990s, an effort began to assess the economic condition of Enumclaw to discover ways to improve commerce. Community meetings were conducted to hear from citizens and retailers regarding economic development. This effort resulted in an economic development action plan (EDAP), which prioritized finding ways to improve the economic condition of downtown.
Development of a downtown enhancement action plan followed the EDAP. This plan included nine projects specifically identified to assist with revitalizing downtown.
Downtown streetscape plan
Infrastructure is combined with public art to reflect local history. This bench top was made from a cedar tree felled by lightning, representative of past logging, and the support structure reflects the trusses of old-time log flumes.
The community expressed a desire to accomplish a "bigger purpose" through the downtown enhancement action plan, emphasizing downtown as the important civic space, historical heart, place of commerce and residential environment that it is. Based on the community's vision, the Downtown Enumclaw Streetscape Enhancement Project was earmarked to proceed shortly after the plan was adopted.
The purpose of the project was twofold: 1) to create a value-added downtown environment in which infrastructure and interpretive public art are combined into a seamless story of local history, culture and environment; and 2) to serve as a catalyst for private reinvestment and economic development while holding true to local values and heritage.
The streetscape program began with four days of intensive public participation. Over a six-month period, RBF Consulting's Urban Design Studio and the project team translated the community's direction and ideas into a streetscape concept based on value-added infrastructure design. The design concept was presented on illustrated posters, which were displayed in the windows of many local businesses.
A new focus
Cole Street, running through downtown Enumclaw, had few public amenities, poor infrastructure and a deteriorated image before being renovated.
The task of developing and/or recreating a sense of place within an enervated downtown can be monumental. The project team's commitment to the task, accompanied with a consulting team that clearly understood place making and small downtowns, made for great chemistry and a quality streetscape design.
Attention to Enumclaw's history and heritage was a critical point. The energy developed by the project has carried over to many of the merchants and residents who have in turn become spokespersons for not only the streetscape project but for downtown to once again become a community gathering place.
The streetscape program was developed to include value-added infrastructure design wherein public art is integrated within streetscape elements such as benches, street lights and sidewalk paving. Through this innovative approach, the streetscape program became not only a physical improvement but also an economic development tool, an expression of local history, a display of locally produced materials, and an element of great community pride.
The effort has brought about a new downtown focus and interest that has already positively changed the community.
Construction of the project was completed on schedule and within budget. During construction, merchants and other impacted stakeholders sought ways to use the construction process as a promotional asset rather than a liability. Now, with the project more than a year complete, downtown Enumclaw is being rediscovered with new development, and businesses are creating newfound vitality.

- Whether you have the desire to win.
- Whether you have the skills to win.
- If you can beat the odds and win.
It is free, it will take 3 minutes - and will reveal more about yourself and your playing!
Q1: How often do you play the lottery?
Q2: How much do you spend in each game?
Q3: How many tickets in each game do you play?
Q4: Do you believe you're lucky?
Q5: Do you have a plan for winning the lottery?
b. I have a vague idea.
c. No plan, I'm just waiting till it happens to me.
Q6: Do you often have a hunch that the next game will be yours?
c. I've never thought about it.
Q1: Good luck is measured by frequency. That means the more you do something, the greater success you will have with it. That means playing lotto often. Imagine trying to throw and hit a stake in the ground with a horseshoe (Silverites will know what I'm talking about here!) If you have only 1 horseshoe and you miss, your chances are zilch - gone forever. However, if you have 50 horseshoes, just imagine how many times increase in 'luck' you would have each time you threw. The more you play, the more you hit! So the answer is (c). Playing twice a week works best, but (b) is correct also if your game only plays once a week.
Q2: The amount you spend also plays a big part in your game win potential. Let's say you're playing poker with your buddies for pennies (For woman - imagine it's whist). After an exhausting 5 hour marathon, you've won the kitty - and it's 150 pennies. You got it just by betting a few pennies per game like everyone else. OK, that's a measly $1.50 you got paid for your skills and time. Now, if that were $1,500,000, wouldn't the game be more worth it? So raise your stakes and improve your win. Don't bet with pennies! The answer is if you play over $20 per game as in (b) using the Silver Lotto System, you'll get vastly better odds and results. But don't blow your housekeeping - it isn't worth the stress.
Q3: Remember--the more you play, the better the pay! The more tickets you use in each lotto game, the more improved your odds. After reading the past 2 answers, it makes sense doesn't it? Over 50 tickets (c) is the best answer for everyone.
Q4: Luck can be learned. And luck can be increased. But luck is actually nothing more than "doing more of everything." Want to increase your chances of finding a car number plate with "7" in the number? Unlucky: Stand at a deserted side road. Less unlucky: drive in a car on the motorway and watch the cars that pass you. Very lucky: Stand at the side of the motorway at peak hour and watch every car that passes. More cars, more luck. Can you see how frequency equals luck? Do more, more, more! (a) is the answer here, because if you believe you're lucky, you'll do more... buy more tickets, play more, to increase it.
Q5: A plan is essential, no question. If you don't have one, it's like driving blindly down every road until you find the route that takes you to your destination. Example: I have a GPS navigation system for my cars. I type in the street number in any country I visit, and it takes me efficiently right to the door without missing a beat. It is my own goal-getter that never fails, because it knows what I want--I typed it in! For years I used guesswork, a hard-to-read map and occasionally asked strangers to find out where to go. Even then I usually failed. Without a certain pathway to get you there, you'll always be lost--or else take a long time to get where you want to go. (a) is the answer... plan how much you will spend, how often you will play, and go for it!
Q6: Business people work on hunches a lot. And many of them are successful because they build upon years of experience to make their decisions correctly. But in lotto, there's no such way. Hunches are useless. You might have 20 years of experience in selecting numbers and still not get a win. You need something that bypasses hunches and intuition, and gets down to the nitty-gritty facts. The only substitute for luck and guesswork you'll ever need is my Silver Lotto System. Answer (c) is correct... don't think any more about it and just play.
How did you do on that quiz? The first 3 questions are the most important...if you got all of those you're way ahead.
- If you got between 50 and 60, congratulate yourself!
- Did you get 40-50? Hmm, you're doing OK. Room for improvement though.
- Under 30 and none of the first 3 questions? You need to look hard at the way you play the lottery!

This August will see Donegal reach across the Atlantic Ocean to extend a heartfelt Céad Mile Fáilte to its nearest westerly neighbours, friends and family. As part of its ongoing marketing campaign aimed at increasing its ever-growing visitor numbers to the county, Donegal Tourism along with Harvey's Point with Support from Tourism Ireland will embark on a highly-anticipated trade mission to the States. The delegation intends to engage with major American Tour Operators and Irish Diaspora in three States, including the largest ethnic festival in the world.
The trip will take in the cities of New York, Chicago, and Milwaukee. The New York event will take place on the evening of Tuesday 15nd August and the Chicago event will take place on the evening of Wednesday 16rd August. Each of these two events will consist of an evening of celebration of all that is Donegal, with members of the tourism team meeting with some of America's major tour operators providing them with first-hand accounts and information about Donegal. The team will be looking to publicise the recent accolades that Donegal has achieved such as being voted the coolest place on the planet to visit in 2017 by top travel publication, National Geographic, while also promoting the Wild Atlantic Way initiative emphasising Donegal's relevance to this.
Donegal Tourism also wishes to extend an invitation to these events to all of our Diaspora that may live or work in these regions. Tickets to these events are free and there will be entertainment and refreshments at each event. To access information about either event, simply visit Eventbrite and search for Donegal Gathering New York 2017 or Donegal Gathering Chicago 2017 depending on which event may be of interest. So if you have a friend or loved one that may be interested in these events, please let them know that their support would be greatly welcomed.
On Thursday 17th August, the team move on to Milwaukee to host an area at the Irish Fest the Irish Fest is to Promote and Celebrate All Aspects of Irish, Irish American and Celtic Cultures and attracts over 130,000 attendees. While primarily a music festival, there is a focus is Irish heritage and culture with a section devoted to travel to Ireland. The festival features separate areas highlighting Travel, Genealogy, Irish Theatre, Culture and Heritage. Donegal Tourism will host a branded destination display stand only at the show.
For three days Donegal Tourism will host this area at the festival promoting Donegal and all its glory. So spread the word to anyone you may know in the Milwaukee, Illinois region.
Donegal Tourism would also like to ask businesses to create packages on their websites for USA 2017 trip as it is anticipated that website traffic to www.govisitdonegal.com which will in turn create traffic to businesses that are listed within this website.

Q: remove a string from a file using nodejs I am trying to remove a string from text.txt. text.txt file contains following format of string
text/more/more.txt
text/home.txt
text/more/yoo/yoo.txt
text/about.txt

Now what I am doing is watching a folder and when any of the above listed file, lets say text/about.txt, is deleted then text.txt file should automatically be updated to following
text/more/more.txt
text/home.txt
text/more/yoo/yoo.txt

For this I am using hound module to keep watching for delete event. And replace module to replace deleted path from text.txt file. Below is my code
watcher.on('delete', function(file, stats) {

    replace({
        regex: /file/g, // file is something like this text/about.txt
        replacement: '',
        paths: [path + '/text.txt'],
        recursive: true,
        silent: true,
    });

});

But my above code does not remove particular string i.e. file from text.txt file. How can I solve this?
UPDATE
file in above code has this value text/about.txt.

A: I have updated variable search_content and replace_content to handle special characters also and then using fs module to replace all strings in a file. Also you can run a synchronous loop on a files to replace strings using callbacks.
// Require fs module here.
var search_content = "file";
var replace_content = '';
var source_file_path = '<<source file path where string needs to be replaced>>';
search_content = search_content.replace(/([.?&;*+^$[\]\\(){}|-])/g, "\\$1");//improve
search_content = new RegExp(search_content, "g");
fs.readFile(source_file_path, 'utf8', function (rfErr, rfData) {
    if (rfErr) {
        // show error
    }
    var fileData = rfData.toString();
    fileData = fileData.replace(search_content, replace_content);
    fs.writeFile(source_file_path, fileData, 'utf8', function (wfErr) {
        if (wfErr) {
            // show error
        }
        // callback goes from here
    });
});

A: This is a error in semantics, you misinterpreted what happens when you do this:
watcher.on('delete', function(file, stats) {
    ...
    regex: /file/g, // file is something like this text/about.txt
    ...
}

Here, file in the RegExp object is looking for a string called file, not the actual variable contents of the String object you're passing into the function. Do this instead:
    regex: new RegExp(file, 'g'), // file is something like this text/about.txt

See RegExp for more details.

In this article you'll learn the safe and effective natural medications for the treatment of anxiety. I'll also review the benefits and drawbacks to prescription drugs. The natural substances should be used in combination with non-drug interventions I previously wrote about here, here and here.
Doctors frequently hear complaints about anxiety. Most sufferers of anxiety come in seeking fast relief of their symptoms without regard for what has caused it. What can a doctor do for a patient with such a request within just a 10- to 15-minute appointment time slot? Prescribe a drug, of course! Like any medication, these are best used to reduce symptoms while you address the underlying causes. I'll explain the main prescription drug options along with their pros and cons.
Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Klonopin, Valium): These are the classic sedating anxiolytic drugs that will surely make you feel good, relaxed, happy and care-free. However, these are quite common drugs of abuse because they are very effective and addictive. They easily cause drowsiness similar to drunkenness. And if combined with alcohol, they are potentially lethal. (You may stop breathing.) Withdrawal symptoms are terrible: Severe anxiety (the opposite of its treatment effect) can always be expected when discontinuing them abruptly after one month or longer of consistent use, even to the point of seizures.
SSRI antidepressants (Lexapro, Paxil, Zoloft, etc.): These are usually a first choice by physicians because they are not sedating, but getting past the first few weeks of side effects is the challenge for many patients. They often require four weeks' of treatment until you see the desired effect. Side effects are less common after the first two weeks. When side effects occur, they commonly include insomnia, feeling "zoned out" emotionally (but less anxious), reduced sexual function and even weight gain. Almost all patients feel increased anxiety, confusion or dizziness if they go off the medication suddenly. (A two-week taper is best.) Children and adolescents using these reportedly have had increased risk of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, although the scientific literature indicates otherwise in recent studies  .
Other antidepressants (Anafranil, Desyrel, Wellbutrin): Similar in efficacy to the SSRIs, these other antidepressants each have their typical side effects. Anafranil (like the other tricyclic antidepressants, or TCAs) can be sedating and may also cause dry mouth, blurred vision, urinary retention or constipation. Desyrel is known for causing sedation. (I used to prescribe it as a first-line treatment for insomnia). A rare side effect is cause priapism (sustained painful erection). Wellbutrin does not cause sexual function decline, but commonly causes insomnia and dry mouth.
Buspirone (aka BuSpar): This is a mildly effective non-sedating anxiolytic that works by enhancing brain serotonin levels. (It is a natural, feel-good neurochemical.) Common side effects include nervousness (the opposite effect than intended!), dizziness, nausea, headache or insomnia.
Beta-blocker antihypertensives (Inderal, Tenormin): These block the effects of adrenaline that causes the fight-or-flight response to stress, especially performance-anxiety effects like racing heart, muscle tension and trembling. Side-effects are often fatigue and sedation and sometimes depression.
Alpha-blocker antihypertensives (Minipress, Catapress): These are used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), especially to reduce nightmares. Beware of dizziness due to low blood pressure at first. Other side effects include dry mouth, headache, nausea, sedation, constipation or weight gain.
The antihistamine hydroxyzine (Atarax, Vistaril): This is very sedating, so it calms anxiety quite quickly. However, the sedation and the typical dry mouth effect make it less valuable for treating chronic anxiety.
The anticonvulsant gabapentin (aka Neurontin): This works fairly quickly for anxiety, but is mainly used to treat nerve pain. It is a GABA analogue and, therefore, stimulates GABA receptors somewhat like benzodiazepines (see natural GABA supplementation discussed below), so it can be sedating. The other anticonvulsants such as Topamax, Lamictal and Depakote have too many serious side effects for my comfort level.
Antipsychotics (Risperdal, Zyprexa): I would use these only as a last resort because of the small possibility of causing horrible side effects such as irreversible tardive dyskinesia (involuntary movements) or neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
All of these drugs will potentially (and do) interact with other prescription medications. That's because these are all unnatural to your body and they go through your liver's detoxification system, creating more unnatural metabolites. Who really knows how much unnatural metabolites stay in your body tissues (mostly fat) and how much you eliminate? Patients are known to release unnatural chemicals during deep-cleanse sauna treatments, indicating that most all of us are still holding unnatural chemicals in the body known as xenobiotics, which are likely major causes for chronic inflammation that goes largely unrecognized. You can read in greater detail about these prescription medications here.
Now that you know the pros and cons of prescription medications used for anxiety, you should know the safe and effective nutrient and herbal options that are available. Remember that nutrients and herbal supplements have natural metabolites in your body that pose little if any long-term health risk. They can decrease or increase prescription medication effects.
L-theanine An amino acid derived from green tea (Camellia sinensis) known to reduce the emotional and physical response to stress . The usual dose is 200 mg once or twice daily.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): An antioxidant herb that can help reduce anxiety, panic attacks, phobia and depression. In one study, ashwagandha for five days had anxiety-relieving effects similar to the benzodiazepine medication lorazepam and antidepressant effects similar to the TCA antidepressant medication imipramine .
Kava kava (Piper methysticum), valerian root (Valeriana officinalis), and passionflower (Passiflora incarnate): Herbs that are relaxing and sedating. They have GABA-like effects. They are used to treat both insomnia and anxiety.
Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri): An herb that supports your ability to handle stress.
Tryptophan:Â An essential amino acid precursor to 5-HTP (5-hydroxy-tryptophan) which, in turn, is a precursor to serotonin, the known neurotransmitter that calms mood in the brain. Niacin helps this conversion process.
Magnesium:Â Deficiency of this mineral within the standard American diet (SAD) is a growing concern. Magnesium deficiency is a known cause of anxiety. Magnesium 500 mg daily is a safe starting dose. At higher dosages it will induce diarrhea.
Vitamins B1, B3, B5, B6 and B12:Â These support the process of serotonin production in the brain. Low vitamin B is linked to anxiety, restlessness and emotional instability. Therefore, vitamin B complex supplementation is recommended, especially if you do not eat animal meat.
Essential oils: A calming, safe and effective option.  Choose from these: lavender, sweet marjoram, chamomile, sandalwood, ylang ylang, neroli, bergamot, frankincense and vanilla bean extract.
Teas:Â You can calm anxiety with brews made from chamomile, peppermint, lemon balm, kava kava, passionflower or valerian root.
SAMe or St. John's wort: If your anxiety is related to depressed mood, consider these. Use 750 mg twice daily of SAMe (an amino acid) or St. John's wort (herb).
Adrenal extract (natural cortisol) and the supportive herbs L-theanine and lemon balm: These support adrenal health. Eventually, worry and anxiety will lead to adrenal fatigue.
In summary: Fear, worry and stress responses are causes of anxiety disorders. You can unlearn the fears and stress responses that cause the physical symptoms of anxiety. There are mental strategies and other techniques to do this. And you can use prescription or natural medications to reduce anxiety.

The Senate bill now heads to the House, where it could face less support as written. Last year, House lawmakers passed a measure that went much further in its rewrite of Dodd-Frank. Basically, the two chambers would need to agree on a version of the bill before it could be sent to President Trump and signed into law.

One Vision Imaging is a producer of wall display products, albums and framed goods with customer base in the UK and abroad.
The company experienced significant damage in transit to high value framed sporting memorabilia. International transit was proving particularly troublesome – on average 10% of products were being returned.
Network Packaging, part of Macfarlane Group, worked closely with One Vision Imaging to develop a new, bespoke packaging solution for transporting large frames. They suggested the use of Airsac inflatable packaging and designed new impact absorbing endcaps for improved protection.
The new solution has helped One Vision Imaging reduce product damage in transit and returns to less than 1%. The company has also benefited from reduced reverse logistics costs and improved efficiency, allowing them to dispatch goods quicker than before.
The new packs provide better customer experience, facilitating transaction processes, and are 100% recyclable.

Q: Azure python sdk: copy blob from SAS token i am trying to copy a disk snapshot to a storage account programatically.
from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient, BlobClient, ContainerClient

connString= "storageaccount connection string"
blob_client = BlobClient(connString,container_name,'test1')

copy_source_url =r"SASTOKEN"

blob_client.start_copy_from_url(copy_source_url)

I run in to this issue:
[Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

I found out i can reproduce the error with this piece of code:
import socket
try:
    print(socket.getaddrinfo(copy_source_url,80))
except Exception, e:
    print(type(e))
    print(e)

I played around for a while, and found out i can get succesfully run socket.getaddrinfo with the base url (md-.blob.core.windows.net) but when i include the rest of the sas token it does not work.
Is there something i need to do to make the sas url work in python (I can download the file by using the link in a browser), or is it possible to let tell the SDK to skip this getaddrinfo?
Oh and i tried both port 80 and 443 by the way.
EDIT: This happens both when running the code locally, or running through an azure automation account. I am using python 2.7 to support  automation accounts.

A: I test it in my side and find there are something wrong in your code. Since we need to copy the content of a source file to the target file in storage, so we can't get the blob_client as below which your code shows:
blob_client = BlobClient(connString,container_name,'test1')

We need to write the content of source file to the target file("test1"), so we need the "Write" permission to it. So we should generate the SAS url of "test1" which contains "Write" permission (In my screenshot, I create a the target file named "file1.csv" for test and I select all of the four permissions).

Then use the code below to get blob_client:
blob_client = BlobClient.from_blob_url("SAS url of file1.csv which we generated above")

Now we need to generate the SAS url of the source file(I created a "file2.csv" as the source file) in storage, it just need the "Read" permission. And then start copy from the url.
copy_source_url = r"SAS url of the source file which we generated"

blob_client.start_copy_from_url(copy_source_url, metadata=None, incremental_copy=False)

After that, the code works fine to copy the content of the source file("file2.csv") to the target file("file1.csv"). Below is all of my code for your reference:


My fantasy tree fort is a log cabin high up in the Ashley National Forest along the border between northeastern Utah and Wyoming. I definitely have an indoor toilet, a comfortable one. There is a big honkin' stereo and no neighbors to complain about the noise (although oftentimes I just go with the sounds of quiet nature). Yes, I sport 500 TV channels and have an endless supply of books to read in my comfortable bed, chairs, and sofa. I spend much time just relaxing in a rocking chair and I have learned to play the guitar pretty well. I have an exceptionally fast internet connection that allows me to listen to radio from wherever I want whenever I want.
I correspond a lot with a few select pen pals. Actually, it is not so much correspondence as it is taking turns "holding forth." I write a bunch, eventually completing and selling a couple of well-received, thoughtful novels that folks like to read more than once in order to take it all in.
My sweet wife is there with me but mainly only in the evenings and at night. She arrives home and we often drift into the bedroom and just lay there and talk for hours. She hugs me mucho. Sometimes a hug can last an hour; no words just an intense pure beautiful hug of love. I exercise and eat right. I am healthy and I look it. I've grown a beard and I have long ago cast off my appearance complex (mainly a result of looking pretty good).
During the daytime, I am usually alone. Somehow, the need to buy things – besides healthy food (no more Diet Coke!), books, and CDs – just doesn't come up. The cabin is very comfortable and the stereo and TV are first rate, but decorative trinkets are few and those that are displayed have some special significance. I walk and hike through the pine forest often. As I think about it, I must own a nice motorcycle too and ride it around the old logging roads.
Visitors come by at my invitation for poker, dominoes, sports on the tube, and conversation. They stay long if I'm into it and don't rush home if the palaver is good; instead, they sense exactly the right moment when I start to tire and crave privacy. As such, every visit is perfect, no one leaves either too early or too late.
By this time my kids are grown and on with their young, healthy, happy lives. I see them often, talk to them even more. They make me very proud and continue to love me openly. They both are still willing to sit next to me on the couch with my arm draped over their shoulders; no "I'm too old for that" from either one, not even the boy. They consult me on big decisions and confide everything to me. Truth be told however, their lives are going really well so they don't really have many worrisome things to confide.
As I hit the age of 71, but still looking like 55, the "system" gets wise to my autonomous ways and, after a 37-day stand-off, an FBI sniper gut shoots me when I accidentally doze off in my chair near the window while inexplicably listening to Nelly Furtado. Just like that and in the blink of an eye, I die. There is no heaven, no ball of energy. I'm just gone and my physical remains soon rot away to nothing.
I do, however, leave behind volumes and volumes of prose, correspondence, poems, essays. My descendants dig it forever; they are proud to be my descendants.
Thanks for the chance to revisit this one. I can confirm that I still pine deeply for that cabin… Re this being the second: Some of these early posts, to include this one, evolved out of prior email correspondence with friends/family, so what you're seeing reflects a relatively massaged offering vice something as off-the-cuff as my initial pace might have suggested.
As always, your kind words are much appreciated.
My pleasure. It's a trove to dive into when I'm a bit fed up with record reviews!

Families ensure that all children can achieve, succeed and thrive;
Families protect all their member schools;
Families meet the needs of all employees;
Families facilitate knowledge transfer;
Families distribute innovation;
Families save time and money;
Families deal effectively with special educational needs;
Families support new and existing leaders;
Families embed the capacity to improve and manage change;
Families build leadership capacity and succession;
Families aid the integration of Children's Services; and
In the DBAT family, there are stronger and weaker members, but all are valued.
Being part of the DBAT family brings many specific benefits to the School and the children, including dedicated support from our School Improvement Officer and sharing of best practice with other DBAT academies.
If you would like to find out more information about DBAT, its role, its directors and its vision please visit their website.

But consequent requests throw 504 gateway timeout error. After 5-10 minutes, it accepts 2-4 requests, and then start throwing 504 error. I try to reach is Spring Boot Application hosted on these two instances. There are no application level timeouts. Further time duration between failed and accepted requests vary, so I believe no fixed timeout configuration setting is causing an issue. How can I resolve this?

Q: How to store an image in the database using Angular 4 and Spring I'm using Angular 4 for the Front-end and Spring for the Back-end and I wanna store a user which contains an image in my database.
As i know the type Blob exists in Angular 4 but it doesn't in Spring, and the type byte exists in Spring but it doesn't in Angular 4.
How can I transfer my image from the Front-end to the Back-end using REST API.
This is my entity:
import java.sql.Blob;
@Entity
@Table(name = "USER_OAUTH", schema = "OAUTH")
public class UserOauth implements java.io.Serializable {
 private long idUser;
 private String username;
 private String firstName;
 private String lastName;
 private String adrEmail;
 private int isAdAccount;
 private Date lastConnection;
 private String password;
 private boolean enabled;
 private int attempts;
 private Blob photo;

@Lob
@Column(name = "PHOTO", length = 10000000)
public Blob getPhoto() {
    return photo;
}

This is my DTO :
public class UserDTO implements java.io.Serializable {

 private long idUser;
 private String username;
 private String firstName;
 private String lastName;
 private String adrEmail;
 private int isAdAccount;
 private Date lastConnection;
 private String password;
 private boolean enabled;
 private Blob photo;

This is my web service :(it works normally before adding the photo):
// Add a new user;
@RequestMapping(value = "/users", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public UserDTO addUser(@RequestBody final UserDTO user) throws Exception {
    return modelMapper.map(userService.saveUser(modelMapper.map(user, UserOauth.class)), UserDTO.class);
}

And finally my Typescript :
export class UserData {
  public  idUser: number;
  public  username: string;
  public  firstName: string;
  public  lastName: string;
  public  adrEmail: string;
  public  isAdAccount: boolean;
  public  lastConnection: Date;
  public  password: string;
  public  enabled: boolean;
  public  photo:Blob;

Thank you in advance

A: If you are really in the case when it makes a sense to store the images in the database, then you can you use LOB datatype:
// File content
@Lob
private Blob image;

On the Front-end use FormData to pass the file to the Back-end using REST API, see a sample here
P.S.
You might probably want to store an image in the file system and keep its path in the database. Please see why.

A: In TypeScript/ Angular you can declare your field like the following: img: File;
Your DTO in your RestController in Spring should use private final byte[] img; and finally your Entity also
@Lob
@Column(name = "IMG", length = 10000000)
private byte[] img;

A: Assuming you are using Spring Data then Spring Content JPA is a lot easier than using @Lob directly and writing your own @Controller to handle multipart/form-data POSTs.
Add the following dependencies:

pom.xml

   <!-- Java API -->
   <dependency>
      <groupId>com.github.paulcwarren</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-content-jpa-boot-starter</artifactId>
      <version>0.0.11</version>
   </dependency>
   <!-- REST API -->
   <dependency>
      <groupId>com.github.paulcwarren</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-content-rest-boot-starter</artifactId>
      <version>0.0.11</version>
   </dependency>

Add the following attributes to your UserOauth entity so that content can be associated with it.

UserOAuth.java

@Entity
public class UserOAuth {

   ...existing fields...

   @ContentId
   private String contentId;

   @ContentLength
   private long contentLength = 0L;

   // if you have rest endpoints
   @MimeType
   private String mimeType;

   // no need for Blob

Create a ContentStore (the equivalent of a JpaRepository for BLOBs):

UsersOAuthContentStore.java

@StoreRestResource(path="usersPhoto")
public interface UsersPhotoContentStore extends ContentStore<UserOAuth, String> {
}

(I assume you have the pre-requisite beans for database connectivity).
When you run your application Spring Content will see the UsersPhotoContentStore interface and the spring-content-jpa dependency and inject a JPA implementation of this interface for you.  It will also see the spring-content-rest dependency and add an @Controller implementation that forwards GET, PUT, POST and DELETE REST requests onto UsersPhotoContentStore as well.   This saves you from having to write either.  REST endpoints will be available at /usersPhotos so...
curl -X POST -F "image=@/home/user1/Desktop/photo.jpg" /usersPhotos/{userOAuthId}
will upload photo.jpg and associate it with your entity.  And:
curl /usersPhotos/{userOAuthId} will fetch it again.

Audio+Text: New Zealand Report – Australia's Five AA: NZ PM Criticised For Deployment to Iraq
Selwyn Manning.[/caption] Audio/Text: New Zealand Report with Selwyn Manning, Dave Penberthy, Jane Reilly and Mark Aiston. Recorded live on 27/02/15. Item One: Australia and New Zealand prime ministers meet to discuss terrorism and security. Item Two: World Cup Cricket Australia V New Zealand! Back in Australia Tony Abbott's hold on the prime ministerial leadership is again under threat, but here in New Zealand it will be business as usual as he meets with the Kiwi Prime Minister John Key in the annual Australia NZ leaders' bilateral meeting. Terrorism and both domestic and international security will be the significant issues to be discussed. ITEM ONE: Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott is in New Zealand today (Friday) for the annual Australia-New Zealand leaders's meeting. Significantly, Abbott and New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key will discuss the terrorism threat confronting both countries, domestic security operations and legislation, the Australia and New Zealand military deployments to Iraq, and the legalities of our own defence forces providing the necessary security for themselves. This week, the New Zealand Government committed 143 personnel to deploy to Iraq for a maximum of two years – but only 16 or the 143 personnel are actually trainers. While, unlike Abbott, John Key enjoys strong popularity on his home turf, this week he has been strongly criticised for his decision to commit New Zealand to this conflict against Islamic State. The country is divided in the issue. In the Legislature, 60 members supported going to Iraq, 60 opposed the decision. Public polls reported 49 percent in support, 43 percent against joining the conflict. (Contrast this to solid public and political support for New Zealand's role in RAMSI, the Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands. Kiwis seem to remember there was little extra-regional military support for the Solomons crisis, nor was an international contingent forthcoming when Australia and New Zealand deployed to East Timor in 1999 onwards.) However, John Key was clearly keen to send soldiers to this Iraq conflict, even without a United Nations security council resolution. And his leadership on the matter has been wanting. He continues to insist New Zealand's specialised SAS combat troopers will not be sent to Iraq, while insisting the NZ contingent based in Taji base north of Baghdad will be provided security. The trouble is, Key will not detail who will provide that security. When it came to making a formal decision, the Prime Minister dithered, was hesitant, was less forthcoming with the New Zealand public than were visiting foreign ministers. In short, he failed to convince Kiwis that New Zealand Government was operating in-line with its well paraded independent foreign policy. Critics have lined up against Key from all sides of this debate. ITEM TWO: The weather looks perfect for Saturday's Cricket World Cup match between Australia and New Zealand at Eden Park here in Auckland. And during the innings break of Saturday's game, New Zealand cricketing great, master batsman, Martin Crowe, will be inducted into the International Cricket Council's hall of fame. Only two other Kiwis have been given the honour, Sir Richard Hadlee and Debbie Hockley. Martin Crowe played 77 tests, scoring 5444 test runs at an average of 45.36, including 17 centuries, the most by a New Zealander. Crowe also played 143 one-day internationals, scoring 4704 runs at an average of 38.55.

Prospect Point is a point at the northern tip of Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, located on the south side of the First Narrows of Burrard Inlet.  The point, which as its name suggests, is a viewpoint, landmark and tourist attraction in Stanley Park and has a restaurant and other facilities, is just west of the Lions Gate Bridge.

The location of the point is known in the Skwxwu7mesh (Squamish) language as Chay-thoos, meaning "high bank".  According to Pauline Johnson's account in Legends of Vancouver, in Skwxwu7mesh tradition inside the cliffs that mark the point from the water lived a spirit-being with the power to bring storms and rain.

This is romantic Spain…the one the tourists flock to. Yet you'll find plenty of genuine local retreats and unexplored corners, age-old villages where women still wash clothes at the local fountain, or the occasional burro pulls a cart.
That's not to say the place is backward. Spain enjoys internet speeds that are among the fastest in the world. Spain's airports are sleek and modern, fast highways and high-speed trains link Andalucía to the rest of the country, and everyone, it seems, has a cell phone.
To gild the lily, it's affordable. A couple can live well in many towns here on $2,000 a month, including rent…eat out for less than $30 (and you'll want to—the food is amazing)…and travel the country by rail or bus at discount rates.
Though Spain's real estate slump is officially over, bargains are still around. Throw in Andalucía's amazing Mediterranean weather, where on the coast even winter days average temperatures in the 60s F…and the varied terrain, where snow-capped peaks for hiking and skiing lie mere hours from the beach…and it adds up to arguably the best value for money in Europe right now.
Andalucía is big—nearly 34,000 square miles—with plenty of variety. From chic Marbella to cozy beach towns, from exotic Moorish strongholds like Granada and Córdoba to romantic sherry towns and more, this part of Spain offers something for everyone.
So where should you start? Well…here's a guide to some of the most appealing spots, all of them easily accessible by air and highway.
Just walking down Calle Larios can lift the spirits. This pedestrian-only street at the heart of Málaga's historic center is lined with shops and cafés that draw the eye. Overhead, several stories up, canopies strung across the street shade you from the bright Mediterranean sun.
There's been a port here since about 1,000 BC (Málaga is one of the world's oldest cities), and it's still one of Spain's busiest. But no signs of creaky old age here: A sleek boardwalk—or paseo marítimo—runs for miles along the shoreline. Green park spaces with benches, kiddie playgrounds, and plenty of shops and restaurants make this area a hopping location.
Málaga proper has just under 600,000 inhabitants, and a metropolitan area of about one million. So it has all the goodies you'd expect from a metropolis—good hospitals and public transportation, a major international airport, great restaurants, as well as those shops and museums. Yet it's laidback and remarkably affordable.
Even in the historic center, within walking distance of shops and the sea, you can get casual lunches starting at about $10 and proper sit-down meals for $15 to $20. Apartments for sale start at under $200,000.
Go just a couple of miles from the historic center (and still along the paseo maritimo), and you reach pleasant middle-class neighborhoods where small one- and two-bedroom apartments start at $130,000 or less. Long-term rents in these areas start at about $655 a month.
Farther west are chic Puerto Banús and Marbella, which have long attracted the jet-set crowd. They're past the suburban train line, but there is frequent bus service. Luxurious Puerto Banús has a huge marina, surrounded by shopping malls, restaurants, and more. Between Puerto Banús and Marbella stretches The Golden Mile (actually, four miles), lined with luxury residences.
Marbella offers museums, performances spaces, and a historic center, as well as newer neighborhoods. You'll find properties at all price ranges here, depending on how far you want to be from the water.
East of Málaga is a string of quaint villages all the way to Nerja, about an hour from Málaga by car.
Nerja is one of the prettiest towns on this coast, and its style is typical of what you'll find here. White-washed Andalusian cottages with red-tile roofs line the narrow streets. Many have been converted to small hotels or vacation rentals, while others are shops selling beachwear or snacks.
Along the seafront are restaurants with back patios looking out to sea. The Mediterranean here is deep blue and right on your doorstep, and the sandy beaches are white.
I spent a day in Nerja with friends, soaking up the sun and the ambience. Leafy trees on the restaurant patio shaded us as we enjoyed frito mixto—a classic Andalusian dish of small, fried fish and seafood—while looking out at the Med.
Frankly, for ambience, it doesn't get much better. And even in an upscale restaurant, in prime tourist season, our filling multi-tapa meal, complete with drinks and tip, cost us only about $20 per person.
In summertime, villages like Nerja are busy with tourists. Life is quieter in winter (though rentals may be easier to find). If you need more constant activity and nightlife for winter stays, consider beach towns closer to Málaga, such as Torremolinos, with its large, full-time population, or resorts like Marbella and Puerto Banús.
An hour's drive inland from Málaga takes you to Granada (there are buses almost hourly). With the towering Alhambra and the winding streets of its medieval quarter, the Albayzín, Granada seems ripped from the pages of the Arabian Nights. And in some ways it is. This was the Moors' last stronghold in Spain, surrendered in 1492 with many tears. It still breathes exotic romance.
Thirty years ago, when I first visited the Alhambra as a wet-behind-the-ears student, I could waltz right in and have it to myself. Those days are long gone. Today Granada is a major tourist destination. Book in advance if you want to see the Alhambra (and you do), especially if you go in summer.
The city is also a firm fixture on the backpacker circuit, one of today's must-sees for teens and 20-somethings. The down side to that is plenty of tourists pretty much all year. But the upside is a city with a youthful ambience, a lively bar scene, and plenty of good eats and lodgings at low prices. My advice: Visit the Alhambra and the quaint Albayzín by day…then head downhill to Granada's newer old town after dark to hit the lively bars for the wine, the music, and the tapas.
All this central, historic part of Granada feels small and cozy. The steep streets up to the Albayzín are like walking along an Arab bazaar: Harem pants, tunics, and embroidered cushion-covers spill from shop entryways, and every other restaurant features hummus and baba ghanoush. Walk down to the newer old town, and two- and three-story buildings feature storefront shops and terrace restaurants and bars.
But this is actually a city of 239,000 people. Outside this center are plenty of shopping boulevards in grand, 19th-century style, and upscale, residential neighborhoods with comfortable houses.
Up in the Albayzín, renovated apartments for sale start at about $120,000. Renovated houses or villas can start as low as the mid-$200,000s. Apartment rental rates start at about $450 a month.
If you prefer the modern part of town, a typical example is a three-bedroom, one-bathroom in central Granada, near shopping. The apartment, recently on offer, was listed for $169,000.
For full-time living, Granada may feel small. But it's easy to get away by car or bus—and there's plenty to see in the area.
It's generally agreed that Andalucía's three must-see destinations are Seville, Córdoba, and Granada. And it's hard to argue with that logic. Each has a charm that is peculiarly its own—and all three are quintessentially Andalusian.
Seville is known for its beautiful architecture, its stately Holy Week processions, and the liveliness of its tapas bars at night.
The city has also inspired music, from the sevillanas heard throughout Spain to operas like Carmen (whose Tobacco Factory is still here). This is a city that loves to have a good time, and most visitors do.
Córdoba, like Granada, is known especially for its Moorish heritage. Its cathedral, its Great Mosque, and its Roman bridge are just a few of the sights in the historic center: the largest UNESCO protected urban center in the world.
The center still has some of its Roman walls, and dozens of churches, monuments, and garden spaces. Horse lovers will want to take a squint at the royal stables, where Andalucía's famous horses were bred. Though lacking Seville's flash and verve, Córdoba offers rich history and plenty to see. As for Granada…see above.
With winter here, I'm starting to daydream again about living in Valencia. It's one of my favorite cities in Spain... There's a lot to like about Valencia. First, there's the location and climate. It sits right on Spain's eastern Mediterranean shore.
You might think that spending winters on the Mediterranean sounds like a dream. That's what "they" want you to believe. But the truth is, winters on the Med are the stuff nightmares are made from. Don't believe me?

Q: How to correct set root route in Rails 4 for AngularJS? I have a troubles with integrating Rails routing with AngularJS.
When I go to "localhost:3000" in browser input, it redirect me to the "localhost:3000/#/auth/sign_in"
but 'sign_in' template not render.
Then, secondary if I go to the "localhost:3000/#/", it redirect me to the "localhost:3000/#/auth/sign_in" and render 'sign_in' template right.
How to fix it, when I go to "localhost:3000" then render 'sign_in' ?
Router code here: http://pastie.org/8917505
Thanks!

A: I have found the solution.
You need to enable HTML5 mode for AngularJS:
angular.module('app').config(['$routeProvider', '$locationProvider',
  function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
  ...
    $locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
  }]
)

You also need to add the <base> html tag:
<html>
  <head>
    <base href="/">
      ...
  </head>
</html>

It fixes Angular's incorrect processing of URL-path when you press Enter in the browser URL input again. Without this, the last 'domain' will be repeated:
localhost:3000/auth/sign_in
localhost:3000/auth/auth/sign_in
...
You also need to write correct route on server side (in Rails) for all SPA routes:
config/routes.rb
  root 'application#main'

  get '*path', to: 'application#main'

Mobile Ad Revenues Will Top $11.4 Billion In 2013, Up 19% On 2012. India, China And Display Fuelling The Boost
Ingrid Lunden @ingridlunden / 10 years
The growing popularity of free mobile content — largely in the form of apps — is having a big impact on mobile advertising, the route that many developers and publishers are taking to monetize that content. Gartner has released its forecasts for mobile advertising today, and it predicts that this year, mobile ads will collectively bring in $11.4 billion in revenues, a rise of 18.75% on 2012's $9.6 billion.
With that growth will also come an evolution in what kind of ads are doing best: display ads will grow faster than search and eventually overtake them, says Gartner. But other things will not change. The Asia Pacific region will keep its dominant position in mobile ads in 2013, and for the next three years, as the global market for mobile ads grows by a further 400% between now and 2016 to $24.5 billion.
Gartner, it should be pointed out, first published these projections in November 2012, but has actually revised them up. "The mobile advertising market took off even faster than we expected due to an increased uptake in smartphones and tablets, as well as the merger of consumer behaviors on computers and mobile devices," writes Stephanie Baghdassarian, research director at Gartner.
The growth of display advertising against search ads is down to a few different factors. The first of these is the increasing ubiquity of smartphones, and smartphone-like feature phones: while there is still an issue that one in every five smartphone owners never uses their device for anything other than basic voice and text, those that are using them for other services are proving to be voracious consumers of apps and mobile internet. That rise in usage means more eyeballs and more inventory for advertisers to fill.
"Smartphones and media tablets extend the addressable market for mobile advertising in more and more geographies as an increasing population of users spends an increasing share of its time with these devices," writes Andrew Frank, research VP at Gartner. That usage, Gartner says, is currently very strong in native apps, although Gartner is in the camp of people who believe that mobile internet, and web apps, will ultimately become the more popular format over native apps.
The second trend is the fact that there are a number of new ad units that are rolling out to make the display ad experience more engaging: whether it is through reward schemes, or less invasive ways of serving those ads, these are, by many accounts, getting more people clicking on display ads, and more advertisers investing in using them.
The third is the decline of more traditional advertising, for example in newspapers and magazines. As these mediums get used less by consumers, media buyers and brands are turning to the places where consumers are reading more: tablets and smartphones. "Growth in mobile advertising comes in part at the expense of print formats, especially local newspapers, which currently face much lower ad yields as a result of mobile publishing initiatives," writes Baghdassarian.
But this does not mean search is disappearing — far from it. The rise of more integrated and functional maps, for example, will give that ad unit another big boost, as more brands and businesses look to buy paid placements on mapping apps. Gartner also highlights augmented reality as a rising category — but I personally remain skeptical that for now this is not more than a nice technology.
In terms of regional domination, Gartner points out an interesting shift taking place in Asia Pacific.
Whereas in the past the region was strong because of Japan and South Korea — two relatively small but early-adopting, mobile-crazy countries — its continuing prominence won't be solely because of that. It will be down to China and India, two of the world's biggest mobile markets, where we are seeing a big surge for smartphones and mobile data usage among a "growing middle class" of users.
North America and Western Europe, Gartner says, will "close the gap" on Asia with what Gartner refers to as "360-degree advertising campaigns." This is another term for the kind of advertising that Google is also pushing, with the idea that ads can follow you regardless of what device you happen to be using. (Creepy but possibly useful too.) Growth in the emerging regions of Latin America, Eastern Europe and Africa will be led by gains in the big markets of Russia and Brazil, as well as Mexico.

If you live in a part of the country where snow accumulates on your roof in the winter, you likely know all about ice dams. Ice dams are ridges of ice that form along the edges of your roof during the freeze-melt-refreeze cycles and they prevent the melting snow from draining off the roof. Ice dams can cause water to back up and leak into your home, causing significant damage to your roof, walls, insulation and ceilings.
Here's action you can take to prevent ice dams before the snow starts falling.
While there are some tried-and-true methods for getting rid of ice dams, one popular method is a waste of time: salt-filled pantyhose won't melt away your ice dams. This method, which is a total bust, involves filling pantyhose with salt or some kind of deicing tablets and then hoisting the filled pantyhose onto the edges of your roof. The filled pantyhose, in theory, should melt the ice underneath and help the melted water flow down the gutter and away from the roof.
Heat cables are a sensible, simple and inexpensive solution for ice dams.
Some testers of the salt-filled pantyhose method say while the salt in the pantyhose can melt the ice, melting just doesn't happen fast enough to make much of a difference. If you are already having a problem with ice dams causing damage, the last thing you want is a solution that takes too long.
Testers also noted that putting salt directly on the ice dam is far more effective than using salt stuffed into pantyhose, but it still doesn't work fast enough.
In addition, the salt-filled pantyhose look pretty ridiculous up there on your roof and there's a chance that the salt residue will discolor your roof—not something you'll want to deal with in the spring.
If you do have an ice dam causing issues and don't feel you can deal with it yourself, it's best to call an ice-dam removal professional.
Try these 12 hacks for removing ice this winter.
These are the 12 things homeowners neglect every winter.
