ASEAN retracts "South China Sea" criticism: Malaysia
By AFP &nbspJune 15, 2016 | 12:18 pm GMT+7
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi (3rd R) and foreign ministers from ASEAN-member nations attend a special ASEAN-China foreign ministers' meeting in Yuxi, southwest China's Yunnan Province on June 14, 2016. Photo by AFP.
Southeast Asian countries have reversed course on a statement that expressed deep concern over events in the South China Sea (Vietnam's East Sea), where Beijing is embroiled in territorial rows, Malaysia said Tuesday, adding that "urgent amendments" would be made.
"Serious concerns" over disputed waters: ASEAN ministers in China
Key milestones in Philippines-China dispute over nine-dash line
In a strongly-worded statement released to AFP by the Malaysian foreign ministry, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) had earlier warned that recent actions in the disputed waterway, where Beijing has been building militarized artificial islands, had "the potential to undermine peace".
The statement came after what was characterized as "a candid exchange", language that hinted at a diplomatic set-to between the bloc's foreign ministers and their Chinese counterpart in the Chinese city of Kunming.
But just hours later, Malaysia said the ASEAN secretariat had issued a recall.
"We have to retract the media statement by the ASEAN foreign ministers... as there are urgent amendments to be made," a Malaysian foreign ministry spokeswoman said.
She said the Secretariat had approved the release of the statement, then later informed the ministry it was being rescinded.
The Chinese foreign ministry expressed puzzlement over the diplomatic dance, and denied any official document had been issued.
"We have checked with the ASEAN side, and the so-called statement reported by AFP is not an official ASEAN document," spokesman Lu Kang said.
China claims nearly all of the South China Sea (Vietnam's East Sea), a vast tract of water through which a huge chunk of global shipping passes.
It has bolstered its claim by building artificial islands including airstrips in the area, some of which are suitable for military use.
The Philippines, Taiwan, Brunei, Malaysia and Vietnam have competing claims to parts of the sea, which is believed to harbor significant oil and gas deposits.
The episode comes as the region braces for a ruling by a U.N. tribunal on a claim brought by the Philippines against China.
China does not recognize the arbitration and has reacted angrily to Manila's legal efforts over the Beijing-controlled Scarborough Shoal, off the main Philippine island of Luzon.
ASEAN has frequently struggled to reach consensus on issues involving China, which prefers to negotiate with individual countries, rather than the bloc.
Critics say this allows it to use its economic leverage on poorer members to water down criticism of its actions.
But the region appeared earlier Tuesday to be rallying around one of its chief democracies.
"We expressed our serious concerns over recent and ongoing developments, which have eroded trust and confidence, increased tensions and which may have the potential to undermine peace, security and stability in the South China Sea (Vietnam's East Sea)," the original statement said, without mentioning China by name.
"We emphasized the importance of non-militarization and self-restraint in the conduct of all activities, including land reclamation, which may raise tensions in the South China Sea (Vietnam's East Sea)," it said.
"We articulated ASEAN's commitment to maintaining and promoting peace, security and stability in the region, as well as to the peaceful resolution of disputes," the statement said.
This includes "full respect for legal and diplomatic processes, without resorting to the threat or use of force, in accordance with universally recognized principles of international law, including the UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea) and the U.N. Charter".
Manila's case is being heard at The Hague under the provisions of UNCLOS.
China has been roundly criticized in the international community for its strong-arm tactics in the South China Sea (Vietnam's East Sea).
Washington has repeatedly cautioned Beijing to exercise restraint in the region, and has sent warships through the waters on designated "Freedom of Navigation" missions.
It has also chided the Asian giant in recent weeks over what it says are "unsafe" intercepts of U.S. spy planes by Chinese fighter jets.
Beijing, which claims almost all of the South China Sea (Vietnam's East Sea) on the basis of a "Nine Dash Line" found on Chinese maps dating to the 1940s, says it will not budge.
China's stance on the sea is "in line with international law", its top diplomat Yang Jiechi said last month, insisting his country's position "will not change".

Ten-point RFP Checklist for Enterprise Storage Technology Refresh Initiatives
Integrating these 10 steps into the storage migration vendor proposal request process reduces operational risk and leads to time and cost savings.
It is important to retain a solid relationship with all potential partners. While a company may not have been right for this project, they could have just the skills you need for the next.
Paving the path to the next generation data center with technology led solutions, SANpulse Technologies, Inc., recently announced a 10-point checklist every enterprise should incorporate into their decision making process when considering vendors for a technology refresh or data center consolidation. With technology refreshes accelerating in 2011 and enterprise storage upgrades a major component of these initiatives, it is critical that these operations be planned and executed properly by selecting the appropriate partners, technologies and production-proven processes in accordance with business requirements.
Central to the success of any storage migration project is an operationally relevant Request for Proposal (RFP). Most importantly, an RFP written correctly is a tool that can be used to thoroughly evaluate potential partners, eventually settling on the vendor that will bring the right levels of expertise, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness to the project. And, from a vendor perspective, it provides a detailed view of the project to make it possible to deliver accurate project proposals and pricing estimates. A well-constructed RFP is a critical planning tool because it lays out important details of the project, providing the enterprise and its eventual partner(s) with a blueprint to reference through the various stages of project planning and execution.
"Vendors know that, whatever it says in the RFP is what they've got to do. So there's a set of rules that have to be followed and a set of documents that have to be addressed. That means that the vendors have to follow exactly what the documents ask of them, both in the proposal process and the project itself. If they don't follow the rules they're disqualified from the start," notes Michael Asner, consultant and author of Request for Proposal Handbook.
This slideshow features 10 steps that will lead to the perfect RFP for any organization's enterprise storage migration process, as identified by SANpulse Technologies, Inc.

To sip a Bellini in Venice in the Spring and early Summer is to taste Heaven.
Henry James or Joseph Brodsky or Ezra Pound—or Harry Cipriani himself—probably said this. I agree!
I was recently in Venice—and I invited my friends Suzanna and Grant, Kathleen, and Sally and Richard to join me at the Gritti Palace Hotel for a Bellini. I am convinced that the Gritti serves the best Bellinis in Venice—and I wanted my California friends to taste them.
the Gritti terrace by Grant K. Gibson.
We convened at twilight on the Gritti terrace overlooking the Grand Canal and requested Bellinis. Grant and I asked the bartender (a handsome and beautifully groomed man dressed in an elegantly tailored white double-breasted jacket) if we could watch him make the Bellinis.
He set out the chilled glasses on the bar—wine glasses.
He then slowly poured the Prosecco into the peach juice and stirred slightly. The finished/finessed concoction is slightly frisky and effervescent, has a little sparkle.
He served the drinks, we sipped. Grant took a photo of the Bellini with his Iphone (that's his snapshot of the moment, above, with the last rays of the run turning the glass golden).
"Indeed the best" everyone agreed (and more than worth 16 euros, taking into consideration the ultra-private terrace, the discreet service, and the glorious setting on the Grand Canal facing the Punta della Dogana and the Salute.
at the Gritti Palace Hotel Bar.
Bellinis became our 'study tour'. We all agreed that the Bellinis at the Hotel Bauer/Il Palazzo terrace (fantastic view, polished service) were virtually our favorites, with a luscious fresh peach flavor.
We tasted the Bellinis at Cip's Bar on the sunny terrace at the Cipriani (disappointing Bellinis served in a tumbler, not chilled, ivory colored, with no effervescence, no seductive peach flavor).
I hardly drink—but when I went to the Locanda Cipriani on Torcello for Sunday lunch, I requested a Bellini as an aperitif. It was lovely and peachy—and I enjoyed it very much, in a happy daze because it was a bright early summer day, we were seated on the terrace, the roses were in bloom in the garden, and we were surrounded by beautifully dressed Italian families celebrating new babies and birthdays.
Harry's Bar where Bellinis were said to be invented: I wish I had enjoyed it more. The Bellini did not have the handcrafted style of the Gritti. I think the place cruises on its decades-old reputation and tales of Hemingway. That's OK, but the Bellini was not thrilling.
Back to the Gritti for a Bellini! Indeed, an evocative sip.
White peaches when perfectly ripe are my favourites, more crisp and delicate than yellow ones. In summer as a very simple dessert I use them sliced, lightly sprinkled with sugar, covered with white wine and chilled.
Bellini is a great drink but as you said it must be done perfectly.
I wish I was in Torcello right now smelling the roses and sipping a Bellini.
Thanks for a great post on one of my favourite places in the world.
We were just discussing Harry's Bar over Prosecco cocktails the other night at a wonderful new Italian restaurant here in Sacramento: Hot Italian. Prosecco has become my beverage of choice lately! I had it with a splash of Blood Orange juice. Wonderful!
I love bellinis and, failing having fresh peach juice because they're not in season yet, I added some raspberries. But there's nothing more refreshing and perfect than a Bellini!
I adore your spirited blog! Count me as a fan.
I was especially interested in your travels to Istanbul (I was there in March).
Love your idea of 'pinking up' the Bellini with raspberry. Hmm...be sure to suggest it to the bartender at the Gritti when next there! He is a handsome, talented fellow.
Thanks for the info on the Bellinis! I was on Katie did and popped over for a read! Interesting post on this drink!
Of course, the formal name of the Gritti (everyone always says, 'Gritti' or 'Danieli') is Hotel Gritti Palace (it was once the home of a doge.
Find it at Campo Santa Maria del Giglio in Venice.

Hooray For Hollywood: Big Movie Backdrops Fill The Walls At Boca Museum Of Art's New Exhibit
In a matter of steps, people entering the Boca Raton Museum of Art can travel from colossal Mount Rushmore to the vast cityscape of ancient Rome.
The 22 renderings look real, but they were plucked from MGMs basements narrowly escaping a junkyard grave.
The Art of the Hollywood Backdrop is the latest exhibit at the Boca Raton Museum of Art. The hand-painted scenes are decades old, dating back to 1938. But the artists responsible were never credited until now.
Co-curators for the exhibit Karen Maness and Thomas Walsh spent hours going through archives and oral histories to find the artists behind the lifelike canvases. Though they have been able to credit more than a dozen artists for their work, many still remain unnamed.
I started this for the love of painting, said Maness, a professor at the University of Texas and co-author of The Art of the Hollywood Backdrop, a 13- pound tome published in 2016.

Boca Arts Center Issues And Delray Votes No On Boca Art Museum Bid
Three issues remain between Boca Raton and the group that wants to build a performing arts center in Mizner Park.
Boca Raton Arts District Exploratory Corporation has asked the city to lease it the property next to the amphitheater. BRADEC would build a complex that includes the amphitheater, which the group would renovate.
The city wants assurance that BRADEC not only could build the center but operate it without seeking subsidies from the city. Last May, the city council authorized staff to begin negotiations on a lease. Council members will get an update at Mondays workshop meeting.
According to the staff memo, the city and BRADEC agree on many points. 67 percent of events at the center would be open to the public. BRADEC would have to raise 75 percent of hard construction costsactual building, as opposed to designwithin three years. That amount would have to be at least $55 million. The city, which now operates the amphitheater, could hold as many as 18 events each year. BRADEC would have to raise at least $6 million in working capital toward operations.
One unresolved issue concerns BRADECs reserve fund. The city wants the group to finance just 25 percent of that from unfunded pledges. BRADEC wants to finance 50 percent.
Another issue is insurance. BRADEC wants the city to cover the full replacement cost of the centerpossibly $30 million. The premiums could run to $150,000 per year. The city wants the coverage to be included as part of its umbrella policy.

The Boca Raton History Museum is located in downtown Boca Raton, Florida. Sponsored by the Boca Raton Historical Society, whose offices and library are located there, it is also the welcome center for Boca Raton. The building it is housed in was Boca Ratonâs original town hall, which began as a commission in 1926 to well-known architect Addison Mizner, designated by the Boca Raton Council as town planner some of his elegant details have been preserved, together with antiques, some of them Spanish, from his collection. It also housed Bocaâs first fire bay , which now houses the museumâs gift shop, Boca Ratonâs police station, and its first library. A small second floor, not currently open to the public, provided housing for the fire chief. The Boca Express Train Museum, a few blocks away, is also operated by the Historical Society.

No Changes In Term Limits For Pbc Commissioners
Palm Beach County will not ask voters to change term-limit rules for county commissioners.
Since 2012, the policy has been that commissioners can serve two consecutive four-year terms. The length of service can be longer if, as in the case of Steve Abrams, someone fills a vacancy and serves fewer than four years. After sitting out for at least one term, a commissioner can run again.
The county imposed term limits in response to a lawsuit. Some commissioners wanted to place on this years ballot a proposal to raise the limits to 12 years, which is the rule in Broward County. State legislators also have 12-year term limits. The Legislature just limited school board members to 12 years.
As County Mayor Robert Weinroth acknowleded, however, many voters react in a visceral and bipartisan manner to any seeming attempt by politicians to help themselves. Individual priorities can take longer than eight years to accomplish, and theres no evidence that term limits lead to better governance, but the commission rejected the idea.

Ubisoft unveils the latest details on Operation Blood Orchid expansion for 'Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege' with a bit of bad of news.
It looks like avid players of "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege" will need to wait for another week before they can get their hands on the next expansion called 'Operation Blood Orchid'. Instead of getting it on August 29, the release date has now been moved to September 5.
During the Gamescom 2017 big reveal, Ubisoft unveiled a host of exciting details on season 3 of "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege," but it also brought a piece of bad news. The game publisher announced that the release date of 'Operation Blood Orchid' will be pushed back in early September.
It further explained the reason behind their decision to delay the release of the new content on the current-gen platforms and on the PC. According to the game publisher, the development team needs the extra time to catch major bugs in the new operators.
Apparently, the new content will only be tested on the PC test servers on August 29.
The PC players can join the Technical Test Server run of Operation Blood Orchid on Tuesday next week. In the process, they will be able to try out the three new Operators as well as the new Hong Kong map.
As promised, Ubisoft revealed the first glimpse at the three operators and the new map coming in Operation Blood Orchid expansion. Season pass holders will get the new downloadable items on September 5 while the others will be able to buy these items a week after the release.
The new season will introduce two group defenders: Lesion from the Hong Kong Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) and Ela of the Polish GROM unit. Ying, meanwhile, is the group's attacker.
Ubisoft posted a teaser video that introduces Liu Tze Long, codenamed Lesion, on the game's official Twitter account.
Check out the character reveal below.
Lesion deploys throwable Gu mines on the floor that have poison needles for sticking an attacker who steps on them. It then impairs the vision, and it also brings damage to the attacker over a period of time.
On the other hand, the other defender of the group, Ela, has Grzmot mines that stick on walls, ceilings, and also on floors.
They explode once an attacker draws close and consequently they damage the hearing and vision. The Polish operator also has an SMG and a pistol equipped with a dot sight.
Ying, meanwhile, has Candela devices such as special glasses that protect herself from her own flashes and grenade-like devices.
"Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege" is now on its Year 2, with Season 3 officially kicking off on September 5. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the tactical shooter video game was released on Xbox One, PS4, and PC platforms on December 1, 2015.

NYX High Voltage (Turnt Up!) Lipsticks (0.09 oz.) individually retail for $6 USD ($8 CAD) and are available in 22 shades. They are said to be "infused with vibrant color with a super-rich finish."
"Power up your look with 22-super charged shades of lipsticks are high voltage! Don't be afraid to swipe on a thick coat for a super-rich finish of dramatic color with NYX Cosmetics High Voltage Lipstick."
The packaging is a simple, sleek, thin tube with a plastic cap and a color-coded section. I did experience some issues with the cap sliding off time and time again, whether I was simply storing it, carrying it in my makeup bag or it had accidentally been knocked it over. They also have a sweet, marshmallow scent that can be noticed on initial application and fades over time.
* Bite Retsina was warmer, more pink. Clinique Beige Pop warmer, more pink. Kat Von D Noble was lighter, more pink.
* Kat Von D Requiem was lighter, muted, more pink. Kat Von D Ayesha was much darker, more purple. MAC Dodgy Girl (LE) was lighter, more pink. MAC Lavender Jade (LE) was brighter, lighter, more pink.
Overall, despite the color sometimes falling into lip lines, the formula is all around nice. They have great pigmentation, apply easily and lightly hydrate—which is always a bonus! Their range of shades cover a nice spectrum, from neutral to bold, to even more unique shades like Playdate. If you're in the market for some fun, affordable lipsticks, these are definitely worth checking out!

Q: How can I make this Java snippet more efficient? In a computer contest, I was given a problem where I had to manipulate input data. The input has been split() into an array where data[0] is the number of repetitions. There can be up to 10^18 repetitions. My program returned Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space and I failed the contest.
Here's a piece of my code that's eating up memory and CPU:
long product[][]=new long[data[0]][2];
product[0][0]=data[1];
product[0][1]=data[2];
for(int a=1;a<data[0];a++){
  product[a][0]=((data[5]*product[a-1][0] + data[6]) % data[3]) + 1; // Pi = ((A*Pi-1 + B) mod M) + 1 (for all i = 2..N)
  product[a][1]=((data[7]*product[a-1][1] + data[8]) % data[4]) + 1; // Wi = ((C*Wi-1 + D) mod K) + 1 (for all i = 2..N)
}

Here's some of the input data:
980046644627629799 9 123456 18 10000000 831918484 451864686 840000324 650000765
972766173386786486 123 1 10000000 10000000 590000001 680000000 610000001 970000002
299896237124947938 681206 164538 2280874 981991 416793690 904023823 813682336 774801135

My program can only work up to about 7 or 8 digits, then it takes minutes to run. With 18 digits, it crashed almost as soon as I clicked "Run" in Eclipse.
I'm curious as to how is it possible to manipulate that much data on a normal computer. Please let me know if my question is unclear or you need more information. Thanks!

A: You can't have, and don't need, an array of such a huge length.  You just need to track the most recent 2values.  E.g., just have product1 and product2.
Also, consider testing if either number is a NaN after each iteration.  If so, throw an Exception and give the iteration number.
Because once you get a NaN they will all be NaN.  Except you are using long, so scratch that.  "Nevermind".  :-)

A: long product[][]=new long[data[0]][2];

This is the only line in the code you pasted that allocates memory.  You allocate an array whose length will be data[0] in length!  As data grows, so does the array.  What is the formula you're trying to apply here?
The first input data you provide :
980046644627629799

is already too large to even declare an array for.  Try creating a single dimension array with that as its length and see what happens....
Are you sure you don't just want a 1 x 2 matrix that you accumulate over?  Explain your intended algorithm clearly and we can help you with a more optimal solution.

A: Let's put the numbers into perspective.
Memory: One long takes 8 bytes. 1018 longs take 16,000,000 terabytes. Way too much.
Time: 10,000,000 operations ≈ 1 second. 1018 steps ≈ 30 centuries. Also way too much.
You can solve the memory problem by realising that you only need the most recent values at any time, and that the entire array is redundant:
long currentP = data[1];
long currentW = data[2];
for (int a = 1; a < data[0]; a++)
{
    currentP = ((data[5] * currentP + data[6]) % data[3]) + 1;
    currentW = ((data[7] * currentW + data[8]) % data[4]) + 1;
}

The time problem is a bit trickier to solve. Since modulus is used, you can observe that the numbers must enter a cycle at some point. Once you find the cycle, you can predict what the value will be after n iterations without having to do each iteration manually.
The simplest method for finding cycles is to keep track of whether or not you visited each element, and then go through until you encounter an element you've seen before. In this situation, the amount of memory required is proportional to M and K (data[3] and data[4]). If they are too large, a more space-efficient cycle detection algorithm must be used.
Here is an example which finds the value for P:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    // value = (A * prevValue + B) % M + 1

    final long NOT_SEEN = -1; // the code used for values not visited before

    long[] data = { 980046644627629799L, 9, 123456, 18, 10000000, 831918484, 451864686, 840000324, 650000765 };
    long N = data[0];   // the number of iterations
    long S = data[1];   // the initial value of the sequence
    long M = data[3];   // the modulus divisor
    long A = data[5];   // muliply by this
    long B = data[6];   // add this
    int max = (int) Math.max(M, S);     // all the numbers (except first) must be less than or equal to M
    long[] seenTime = new long[max + 1];    // whether or not a value was seen and how many iterations it took

    // initialize the values of 'seenTime' to 'not seen'
    for (int i = 0; i < seenTime.length; i++)
    {
        seenTime[i] = NOT_SEEN;
    }

    // find the cycle
    long count = 0;
    long cycleValue = S;    // the current value in the series
    while (seenTime[(int)cycleValue] == NOT_SEEN)
    {
        seenTime[(int)cycleValue] = count;
        cycleValue = (A * cycleValue + B) % M + 1;
        count++;
    }

    long cycleLength = count - seenTime[(int)cycleValue];
    long cycleOffset = seenTime[(int)cycleValue];

    long result;

    if (N < cycleOffset)
    {
        // Special case: requested iteration occurs before the cycle starts
        // Straightforward simulation
        long value = S;
        for (long i = 0; i < N; i++)
        {
            value = (A * value + B) % M + 1;
        }
        result = value;
    }
    else
    {
        // Normal case: requested iteration occurs inside the cycle
        // Simulate just the relevant part of one cycle
        long positionInCycle = (N - cycleOffset) % cycleLength;
        long value = cycleValue;
        for (long i = 0; i < positionInCycle; i++)
        {
            value = (A * value + B) % M + 1;
        }
        result = value;
    }

    System.out.println(result);
}

I am only giving you the solution because it looks like the contest is over. The important lesson to learn from this is that you should always check the bounds to see whether your solution is practical before you start coding it up.

The western portion of the Pinellas Anclote Watershed includes many neighborhoods including: Anclote River Estates, Elfers Parkway, Veterans Village, Natures Hideaway, and others.
The Pinellas-Anclote watershed is located in the southwest portion of Pasco County with small portions extending into both Hillsborough and Pinellas County. The watershed is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico to the west, the Pithlachascotee River to the north, the Cypress Creek watershed to the east, and the Brooker Creek and Rocky-Bushy Creek watersheds to the south.
The Anclote River begins east of the Suncoast Parkway in the Southwest Florida Water Management District's Starkey Wilderness Preserve and the J.B. Starkey Wilderness Park and flows generally southwesterly towards the Gulf of Mexico. Tributaries that feed the river include Cross Cypress Branch, Sandy Branch, Duck Slough, and Holling Creek, as well as the south branch of the river itself. Lakes within the watershed include Ann, Dan, Frances, Geneva, Hiawatha, Minniola, Osceola, Salt, and Seminole. In the downstream portion of the watershed, close to where the Anclote River discharges to the Gulf of Mexico, are Kreamer, Tarpon, and Whitcomb bayous.
The Anclote River drains approximately 112 square miles of Pasco and northern Pinellas County through 24 river miles. The river is tidally affected for the lower 14 miles.
The Anclote River is able to be monitored via USGS Stream Gauges and viewed via USGS Webcam.


ChangeWell Blog: You're a Brand – What's Your Plan?
You're a Brand – What's Your Plan?
If you have a name – you're a brand. A "brand" is a business identity or name of something (product or service) or someone specific (like you). A "brand" causes the generic to stand out and be differentiated.
A simple example is how a commodity like sugar was turned into a very well known and successful brand. This happened in 1900 when a Brooklyn New York sugar processing company emerged as Domino, one of the original companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
The ad from 1910 above is for Domino sugar cubes, which the ad claims, are "handier and prettier," as well as offering "more perfect purity…and less waste." Clearly, Domino sugar is different from any old pile of sugar. Providing sugar in cubes immediately re-positions all other sugar as 'old fashioned." Different is good. Because if it's "different," it's easier to claim that "it's better." If it's different, better, more costly all those elements may make it more desirable to some people.
Be different in a way that appeals to your customer and stands out versus competitors.
Get your brand noticed, known, and remembered by your target customer.
So where do you start? Or, if you've started, how can you make progress?
You may not be a household word. Most likely there are other people in the world who have a name that is similar or even identical to yours. Some of them may even do what you do. They may even live in your area and compete with you. So, given that, how do you stand out as unique in the entire world?
Well, here's some good news – if you deliver a professional service, most of your business will probably come from the people who live right around you – maybe no more than 25 miles away. So you don't need to dominate the world. But you should build your brand as if that's your intent.
How do you construct a global brand identity? Let's starts with some basics.
1. State Your Mission – In two or three sentences clearly state what you do, who you do it for – and why. And make the "why" something inspiring that expresses a possibility for all people everywhere, even those well beyond your service area.
This requires some thinking and reflection. Making money is not why you are in business. That's an outcome. Somewhere in your story there is a moment where your life changed and you saw a possibility for your unique contribution. That's "why" you're doing what you do. Because you thought that producing that result for as many people as possible would be a satisfying way to live your life.
Simon Sinek, author of Start with Why says: "People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it." In 1980 Steve Jobs said Apple's mission was to contribute to humanity by making tools for the mind that help people change the world. That's a "why." Notice there's nothing in there about "cutting edge technology, enhancing share holder value, dominating markets," etc. While all of that is important, not much of it is inspiring. Find a why that makes you want to get up early and go to work so you can experience the thrill of contributing.
2. Name Your Brand – If you are doctor and you have a good reputation in your community, you are already a "brand." People already choose you over other practitioners who do what you do.
Your business is like a long running Broadway show in which you're the star – for now. But when you leave, the show will go on, but another star will take your place. Your job: identify that star and prepare for the eventual transition by building your corporate brand so it stands on its own.
3. Align Products & Services – List them all and their features & benefits. Do these relate to your why? What products or services could you add to fill out your brand identity and maximize revenues and profits?
4. Listen to Customers & Prospects – In your brand communication, you should reflect the "voice of the customer." What do they think about you? What do they think about your competitors?
Here's an easy way to hear that voice. Read your Yelp reviews and those of your major competitors. You'll quickly learn how customers and prospects think about what you do.
Caution: it may seem that people don't appreciate all your degrees, your state of the art equipment, and your beautiful offices. Instead it may seem like they focus on the trivial. Like: did the appointment start on time? Is your staff friendly and helpful?
From the patient perspective – that's not trivial. It's very important.
Patients may not be to able tell how good a doctor you are. They may not be able to figure out whether your prestige degree makes you better, or if your new expensive machine provides better outcomes. They expect you to meet, and hopefully exceed, the "standard of care," even if they don't know that there is such a thing. It's a given and they may not be able to detect it. But they'll notice a grump in the front office. And if that shows up on Yelp, it may keep new patients away.
You can also do customer surveys with a tool like Survey Monkey. Use two kinds of questions. Brand features vs. brand performance.
Any feature that ranks "7" or higher is "Important" or "Very important." On those features, your performance should be high. A finding that "being on time is very important to 90% of our prospects. But only 42% of our patients rated us "7" or higher should be a sign that improvement is urgently needed.
5. Focus on Improving Performance – High performance on important brand features is essential. To start the improvement make a list of what your customers value. Prioritize it and communicate it to your staff. Reinforce these values in all your communications.
7. Adopt a "Brand Style" – Human beings learn through repetition over time. One of the keys to successful brand building is consistency. Create a style sheet that you will use to guide your brand. How does it look? When your brand speaks in customer e-mails, brochures or in social media – what does it sound like? Is it friendly or formal? Serious or light hearted. Use your "brand style sheet" to check every communication before it goes out.
8. Develop Brand Standards – When you see an ad from Target on TV you know instantly that it's probably them. The ads look like the stores. The stores look like the ads. That's because their ads all conform to a pre-determined style that reinforces the brand image. Your brand will come to life more vividly for your customers if you have a "brand method" of delivering service and you deliver every service according to that method.
9. Be True to Your Brand – in everything you do. If your brand says you're the friendly family dermatologist, everyone who works in your office should project that every day in everything they do. It's not enough to tell customers. You have to actually be it and do it.
Here's an example from Scripps Center for Dental Care, a San Diego practice that consistently delivers high levels of friendly service.
Thank you for arriving early.
We're organized in a team.
Our team cares about you.
We're in a meeting actively reviewing today's schedule so we can serve you better.
We'll be on time at 10AM, as we promised because we know your time is important.
The sign is friendly, informal, and does not appear that a whole lot of time was spent on it, but it's effective in reinforcing the look and feel of the brand as well as some of its most important brand values.
10. Own the Business – Run the Marketing – It's very tempting to think: "I don't know anything about this website stuff, I'm too busy, I'm going to hire a millennial and let them do it." We know from our survey of A4M members that many practitioners are unhappy with both their websites and their social media strategy. If you share those opinions, it's vital that you get involved in the marketing of your business. We're not saying you have to "do the marketing." We are saying you should know and direct what is being done and why.
Ultimately, good marketing is mostly common sense. While anything that deals with the human mind and perceptions can get tricky, you are usually on solid ground when you ask common sense questions.
Why are we doing this? What specific market opportunity does this activity or expenditure address? What's the evidence that supports this?
What do we intend to happen here? What's the outcome we're looking for?
How will we know if it happens? What metrics are we using to measure results? This line of questioning ends in the statement of a specific, measureable achievement to be accomplished by a deadline.
What results have we achieved so far? What was our expectation? How do the results so far compare to what we thought would happen? What's the trend line?
At the upcoming A4M Practice Enhancement Training April 5 & 6 in Hollywood Florida, we will be exploring these topics in depth. We'll provide you with a high level overview of marketing theory and best practices so you can apply them successfully to your practice. We encourage you to attend and bring your staff. In the meantime, if you have a marketing or branding question, write to me and I'll answer it for you at no charge.


RAGE Works 2016 Holiday Gift Guide: "The Works"
When it comes to "The Works", we run the gamut of cool stuff and honestly whether it's comics or collectibles (or even some good old fashioned toys), we think we have something for everyone.
The Power Rangers have been back in the news lately with all the hoopla surrounding the new reboot hitting theaters next year. While the Power Rangers have had numerous incarnations, the original Mighty Morphin series had some of the best rangers that piloted equally awesome zords. The Green Ranger remains a fan favorite and the crew at Bandai created a great piece capturing the Green Ranger using his dragon dagger to summon the Dragonzord. A solid gift for any Power Ranger fan in your life.
While Assassin's Creed is also in the news due to the newly released film, the crew at McFarlane Toys has wasted no time in creating some amazing collectible figures based on the games. While the Ezio saga will always be a favorite of mine, the design for Connor is one of the best in the series. We had the pleasure of seeing the movie figures at Toy Fair earlier this year, and the detail applied to those figures is just as prevalent as in the figures based on the game.
Bandai spares no expense on this SH Figuarts interpretation of Leonardo from TMNT. Included with this "hero in a half shell" are his iconic katanas, an interchangeable head, 3 pairs of interchangeable hands, weapon holding parts, and 2 manhole covers! The action figure stands about 6-inches tall. There are SH Figuarts versions of all the turtles so make sure to check them out.
Batgirl of Burnside has breathed new life into Barbara Gordon's Batgirl. Comic fans were immediately smitten with the new costume design and the new location where the character would fight crime. This playset not only comes with Batgirl's trademark motorcycle but also comes with 3x sets of interchangeable hands, a grapple gun, interchangeable heads and interchangeable capes. Batgirl measures approximately 5 3/4-inches tall.
If you watch My Take Radio live then you have probably seen the ominous purple glow of my Decepticon insignia lamp. This lamp can be wall mounted or can be used on a desktop. The LED lights are cool to the touch and the lamp is battery powered for easy portability. 3D wall crack stickers are included as well for added effect.
Heat activated mugs are making a comeback in a big way and if your loved ones appreciate a hot cup of coffee or tea alongside their favorite DC comics then this is the mug for them. If you prefer a different DC Bombshells character, you can grab a heat activated mug of Wonder Woman instead.

House, Senate Pass Legislation to Lower Cost of Inmate Telephone Calls
by editorial January 6, 2023 January 11, 2023
Originally appeared in NNPA
Exorbitant telephone call rates have historically made it almost impossible for loved ones to keep in touch with family and friends behind bars.
In 2017, Reesy Floyd-Thompson, who calls herself a "digital wonder woman," said she had to deal with the shame of the incarceration of a significant other.
Her husband's incarceration also meant that calling him would be difficult, if not impossible.
"I used to maintain a side hustle to take care of these calls alone. My husband and I used to endure monthly bills as high as $500 to stay connected," said Floyd-Thompson, who headed an organization called "Prisoner's Wives, Girlfriends, and Partners," a support group for spouses and partners of those incarcerated.
With rates as high as $20 per call in some areas, Congress has finally acted, and in 2023, inmates and family members will pay a lot less.
Both the House and Senate passed the Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act, which gives the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the authority to guarantee reasonable charges for telephone and video calls in correctional and detention facilities.
"Too many families of incarcerated people must pay outrageous rates to stay connected with their loved ones," FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel remarked in a statement.
"This harms the families and children of the incarcerated — and it harms all of us because regular contact with kin can reduce recidivism."
The measure now heads to President Joe Biden for his signature.
Phone calls in prison are said to generate more than $1.4 billion per year, and the FCC previously capped rates.
A federal court, however, overturned new regulations that set rates at .25 cents per minute in 2017.
Even though a three-judge panel at the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia agreed that the rates for in-state prison calls were way too high, they said the FCC went beyond its authority when it set rate caps.
"This actually undermines a key goal of prisons, which is to foster rehabilitation to foster successful reentry," Dr. Melissa Hamilton, a senior lecturer of law and criminal justice at the University of Houston Law Center, said at that time.
"Charging a high fee for phone calls discourages communication between prisoners and those who may be best able to keep prisoners calm and focused while in prison and who may be able to provide opportunities to prisoners upon release," Hamilton said.
"These are friends, family, and religious connections. We know from decades of correctional research studies that prosocial contacts and opportunities are important mechanisms for rehabilitation and reentry.
"To the extent that the programs reduce these interpersonal contacts, not only are prisoners worse off. It can be detrimental to family members themselves, particularly children," she said.
African Americans comprise about 13 percent of the U.S. population, and they also make up 35 percent of inmates.
According to a U.S. Department of Justice report, approximately 37 percent of the 2.2 million male inmates are Black.
"The astronomical fees are predatory and perpetuated by the phone companies and prisons, creating a mini-monopoly," D.C. Democratic Delegate Eleanor Holmes-Norton said.
She said that the profits from the calls are sometimes shared with sheriff's offices, who say they use the money for security needs.
A strong social support network is an essential tool in reducing re-offending, mainly for drug-related crimes, said Matt C. Pinsker, a former prosecutor, and magistrate who's an adjunct professor of criminal justice at Virginia Commonwealth University.
"I find the high cost of phone calls concerning. Anything that limits one's opportunity to be better connected with family is cause for concern," Pinsker said.
"I have had numerous cases where clients, especially indigent ones, were unable to talk to loved ones because they had no money on their accounts," he said.
Former FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn challenged the high rates, calling them a civil rights issue that prevents inmates from connecting with the nearly 3 million children in America with at least one parent in prison.
"It's the greatest form of regulatory injustice I have seen in my 18 years as a regulator in the communications space," Clyburn said.

I thought about how I'm getting older. When I went to my first Dave concert in college, "Ants Marching" was big. This time, there was a teenage girl sitting next to me who said, "Well, I've never heard of Dave Matthews Band, but my dad says I'll like it." Wow.
Then I will ever sing in praise of your name and fulfill my vows day after day.
Two weeks ago we decided to love the law. Last week we decided to obey it. Now let's acknowledge that we can't do either on our own.
True confession: I am bad at group projects. In school, I always wanted to be the group leader so I could do the work as it should be done (ahem, perfectionist), and get the A.
You know the old saying about how there is no "I" in "team"?
I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.
This morning, I lost one of my kids again.
If you have kids, you know this feeling. You call out a name, but the only sound you hear is the hum of the refrigerator. You start walking from room to room, still calling for them, then you're jogging, checking out closets and the basement. The house feels empty; your heart fills fear.
Have you ever opened your fridge, so sure of what you're about to eat, and found that the food you're looking for was eaten by someone else?
Not only am I the kind of girl who really doesn't like for her plans to be thwarted, I'm a picky eater who finds it difficult to make substitutions—especially when I've made a "healthy eating" plan for my day. If what I thought I was going to eat isn't there… well, chocolate looks even better.
Yesterday I went to cupboard to grab my favorite kind of breakfast bar, but it wasn't there.
Once again I'm going to send you elsewhere to read about all of the great things Organizing You Ministries has for you!
I don't know about you, but this is when it starts to get really hard for me. Easter is still looking pretty far away… but all that Easter candy is staring me in the face whenever I enter a store. I'm not complaining—still smiling!—but it's a fact that I'm getting tired of giving up chocolate.
This is the time to take a good look at how good we're really doing with this Lenten fast. Truth always clears out spiritual clutter that's rooted in feelings!
But it was Lent, I'd given up chocolate, and I'd resigned myself to not getting a cookie at all. I'd get the free one and let the kids split it between them, case closed.
I was sitting at a desk in a tiny hotel room in Edinburg, Scotland.
Believe me, I never thought I'd begin a story like that! But just after the Lord called me to write a book, He gave me the opportunity to accompany my husband on a once-in-a-lifetime business trip.
My husband went off to his conference, and there I was in a hotel room in Scotland, completely alone for the first time in years, with nothing in front of me but a blinking curser.
After a few minutes I moved from the desk chair to the floor and kneeled. Lord, I can't do this. I don't know what to do. I don't even know how to start writing a book.
I can't believe it, but this is my 100th post.
As I wrote on my "blogiversary," I never thought I'd be blogging at all. Yet today I took a look back at my first 99 posts, and you know what? There was some good stuff in there!
Over time, my posts have evolved from Monday/Thursday Bible study posts to a new schedule: Monday Bible study devotions with a thought-provoking "kick," and Thursday posts that deal with either anxiety help (the Thought Shot posts) or Christian Growth (the Take the Challenge posts). All of them speak to what God's bringing to the forefront in my life… and hopefully yours.
Get Organized? Or Let Jesus Handle the Mess?
I love Peter. Peter who walked on the water toward Jesus, told Jesus exactly what he was thinking, and jumped out of the fishing boat to swim to Jesus even faster. Poor Peter who's frequently documented as getting it wrong.
Even after Jesus says, "You don't understand what I'm doing, but it will be clear enough to you later," (that's The Message version, very direct), Peter says, "You're not going to wash my feet—ever!" Passionate Peter.
He meant well, but he wasn't listening. He saw the Lord with a towel around his waist, kneeling at his feet, and closed his ears. He closed himself to the perspective Jesus was trying to give him, a perspective of trust in The Master.
So often I see the "messy" areas of my life and I think I know better. Like Peter, I'm passionate for the Lord, jumping into the deep water of this ministry and telling the Lord exactly what's on my mind. But also like Peter, I get it wrong. I want things to move faster and go differently—it seems so obvious to me how things should be!

Q: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError on encrytping a large file in android I am trying to encrypt a 23 MB file using AES algorithm in Android. While the code works when the file size is around 3-4 MB. But when I tested with a 23 MB file it gives me a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
Here is the code-
                 try{
                        SecretKeySpec skey = new SecretKeySpec(Hex.decodeHex(key.toCharArray()), "AES");
                        Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding");
                        cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skey);
                        output = cipher.doFinal(bFile);
                        String SD_CARD_PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
                        FileOutputStream fileOuputStream = new FileOutputStream(SD_CARD_PATH+ "/" + "abcd.db");
                        fileOuputStream.write(output);
                        fileOuputStream.close();
                        //System.out.println(output);
                    }catch(Exception e){
                        System.out.println("Error: "+e);
                    }

I get this error in the line- output = cipher.doFinal(bFile);
Is there any other way to do this? What should I do?

A: You are having an OOME because bFile is an array, so you probably have the whole input file in memory. output is another byte array, and thus you are also holding the whole output file in RAM. And as you know the Java heap of an Android app has a max size (depends of the device, but a common min value is 16MB).
This is one of the major drawbacks of the "array approach". The other one being padding issues related to the size of array buffers. Unfortunately, most code examples returned by search engines show the array approach, and as a result there are plenty of questions in SO about the same problems.
You should be aware that there's an alternative stream approach. Turns out it is easier and safer. It involves using CipherInputStream (for decrypting) and CipherOutputStream for encrypting. Example:
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream(...); //Input stream

    SecretKeySpec skey = new SecretKeySpec(Hex.decodeHex(key.toCharArray()), "AES");
    Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding");
    cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skey);
    FileOutputStream fileOuputStream = new FileOutputStream(SD_CARD_PATH+ "/" + "abcd.db");
    CipherOutputStream cos = new CipherOutputStream(fileOuputStream, cipher);

    //Now read from input and write to output using your favorite utilities library
    //Guava and Apache Commons IO are good examples.
    FooUtils.copy(is, cos);
    //Remember to close streams if the previous call didn't (preferably in a finally block)

A: You are encrypting the whole file in memory and then writing it.
What you should do is writing it little by little, in a multiple part operation.
I think you should look at: Java 256-bit AES Password-Based Encryption
take a look at the second answer. The method
public void WriteEncryptedFile (File input, File output)

should do exactly what you need to do.
Hope this helps.

The Art of Fallism
Film, Rio Online, £11.5 / £9.5 con
The Rio may be shut, but we are still keeping the spirit of Fringe! alive online. Enjoy the powerful The Art of Fallism, for 48hours from Noon on the 14th November, from the comfort of your own home.
This event is GEO- BLOCKED to the UK
How does a movement begin? In 2015, queer and trans Black and POC students at the University of Cape Town decided that #RhodesMustFall. UCT students had tried to remove a statue commemorating settler colonist Cecil Rhodes since the 1950s.
This film is the story of the protests that sparked a wave of undoings and anti-colonial actions around the world, and the queer activists at the centre of it. It is an account of the courage required to stand for justice in an age of cruelty and heartlessness, and the imagination needed to picture the undoing of tradition. The film focusses on the sidelined voices of those vital to this now global movement, and their compelling accounts of activist work.
The film also provides a blueprint for activism and an honest look at the importance of inclusion, self-reflection, and structural criticism in political organisations. This is the story of a generation refusing to allow the lies of history, and forcing the hand of justice.

Manometers are the devices containing some columns of suitable liquid to measure the difference in pressure.
Process of measuring pressure using 4.5" Process Manometer Manometers are the devices containing some columns of suitable liquid to measure the difference in pressure. That pressure can be of between two points or between a certain point and the atmosphere. This device is needed to measure large gauge pressures. A common type of this device is like a transparent U-tube. According to your requirement these devices come in different sizes along with different specifications. The device 4.5" Process Manometer is susceptible to execute any task you need for your industrial purpose. Let's get to know about some more information of these devices before you choose one for your business. Usages of 4.5" Process Manometer Most of the manometers consists of a U shaped tube and within that tube the manometric liquid is filled normally. This device is specially used to measure the pressure that is not known by the balancing gravity force and the acceleration process caused by the gravity. It consists steel brass and aluminum materials and has a glass tube that has been made up of parallax glass. The way it works After the unknown pressure is applied in the one arm of the device the mercury contained within started to move. It rises to the constant region and then the movement stops. The height of the contained liquid is measured and notedto be calculated based on the formula. Advantages and disadvantages of using 4.5" Process Manometer The devices are simple in construction. Even these devices come in a low cost range so it is easy to buy. However every single Process Manometer is made to be very accurate and sensitive. For that reason this can be used in order to measure other process variables.
Though a 4.5 Process Manometer is simple for construction but at the same time is fragile for that purpose. It requires to be handled in a careful way during the process. These devices are way too sensitive for temperature changes and because of that reason error can occur while measuring. Things need to be paid attention on First of all one must know that the viscosity is something needs to be low while operating this 4.5 Process Manometer. Low surface tension is also required during that. Check whether the liquid is sticks on the walls or not as it is crucial. Even the liquid must not get vaporized. So these are the things that need to be taken care of before every single operation to be executed. Based on these things the device will be able to give a proper outcome of the operation. No matter what keep the devices in a safe zone as these are way too fragile. No one will like to get the devices used for only one use. However these devices are very accurate to help you get the best result of every single process. You just have to keep it in a safe way otherwise it will not be able to work effectively.

Enclosures for Electrical Equipment, ANSI/NEMA 250-2020
April 5, 2021 May 7, 2021 Brad Kelechava	Leave a comment
Electricity, while essential to the fabric of modern life and within feet of anyone indoors at any given time, can bring forth immense potential hazards. From the possibility of sparking fire to the ability of the human body to act as a conductor, electrical hazards can be all too abundant. Measures to mitigate electrical hazards, such as electrical enclosures to surround hazardous parts, help protect both personnel and equipment.
Electrical enclosures are often associated with a "NEMA rating." These ratings derive from a standard developed by ANSI-accredited standards developing organization the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). The current edition of this standard is ANSI/NEMA 250-2020: Enclosures For Electrical Equipment (1000 Volts Maximum).
"NEMA Rating" Types
ANSI/NEMA 250-2020 outlines specifications to provide protection to enclosed equipment against specific environmental conditions. Electrical equipment installed under the guidance of this standard is rated 1000 Volts or less and is intended to be used and installed in a manner specific to its Type.
According to ANSI/NEMA 250-2020, Types 1, 2, 5, 12, 12K, and 13 are meant for enclosures for indoor locations; Types 3, 3X, 3R, 3RX, 3S, 3SX, 4, 4X, 6, and 6P are for enclosures for indoor or outdoor locations; and Types 7 and 9 are intended for enclosures for hazardous (classified) locations.
The specific rating Type for an enclosure denotes the type of protection that the enclosure offers, and, of course, this varies among types, with some means of protection being offered by multiple Types. For example, all Types addressed in ANSI/NEMA 250-2020 provide a degree of protection against access to hazardous parts and the ingress of solid foreign objects, such as falling dirt. Some environmental conditions, however, are only covered by specific NEMA Enclosure Types—e.g., Type 6P provides a degree of protection against the ingress of water under occasional prolonged submersion, as well as protection against other conditions.
In addition to Type designations, under the guidance of ANSI/NEMA 250-2020, certain ratings can be appended with the PW ancillary rating if enclosures are constructed for exterior cleaning with high-pressure power washers.
About ANSI/NEMA 250-2020
Overall, the ANSI/NEMA 250-2020 standard addresses the construction, features, applications, marking, design tests, and field modifications for electrical enclosures.
Please note that ANSI/NEMA 250-2020 does not cover protection of enclosed equipment against condensation, gas vapor ignition, thermal damage, icing, corrosion, or contamination. Furthermore, the specifications for enclosures detailed in this standard are intended to be installed and used in accordance with manufacturer instructions and section 110.3(B) of NFPA 70-2017: National Electrical Code.
ANSI/NEMA 250-2020 revises and supersedes the previous edition of the same standard, NEMA 250-2018.
ANSI/NEMA 250-2020: Enclosures For Electrical Equipment (1000 Volts Maximum) is available on the ANSI Webstore. Users who want this and related standards may be interested in the IEC 60529 / NEMA 250 – Degrees of Protection Package.

I'm not worried about the government shutdown or the debt ceiling crisis. Neither, apparently, is Wall Street. I feel totally disconnected from the theater of the absurd on Capitol Hill. It's funny to think that the first home I lived in was blocks away from the Capitol and that my father worked in Congress. Two years ago the country was in a similar situation and the financial community was edgier, but if you watch a pathetic samurai threaten to disembowel himself over and over again, sooner or later you just kind of want to see if he'll do it.
In this week's cover story, a photo essay of a Monticello-Charlottesville high school football game, one of the referees remarked that high school football gets bigger as the town gets smaller. That was certainly true where I lived in Western North Carolina—the Tuscola Mountaineers and the Pisgah Black Bears emptied the towns of Waynesville and Canton when they played. Generations of kids grew up dreaming about suiting up on Friday nights for the honor of their mill town mothers and fathers. There was no other game in town.
I'm not really a football fan. I mean, I am, but I support Arsenal, something I picked up from my mother's two decades working for the Times of London. Not that she was a Gooner or anything, but some of her North London friends were, and, more than that, her colleagues made me want to be a citizen of the world. Growing up in D.C., you never really feel like you're from anywhere. You have the origin stories of your father and mother's families (Alabama and Baltimore for me), but you're making up the rest of your place-based identity as you go along.
Which gets me to what I am worried about: How do you belong to a specific place and to the global community? Think globally and act locally right? Visualize whirled peas too, right? The thing is I want a fight song, and colors to wear, and I want my Congressman to show up at the football game and ask for my vote and I want to boo him, maybe even throw popcorn at him. But his money comes from D.C., which is where he works, and where I escaped from.
