An alginate lyase with high specific enzyme activity was purified from Pseudomonas stutzeri MSEA04, isolated from marine brown algae. The alginate lyase was purified by precipitation with ammonium sulphate, acetone and ethanol individually. 70% ethanol fraction showed maximum specific activity (133.3 U/mg). This fraction was re-purified by anion exchange chromatography DEAE- Cellulose A-52. The loaded protein was separated into 3 peaks. The second protein peak was the major one which contained 48.2% of the total protein recovered and 79.4% of the total recovered activity. The collected fractions of this peak were subjected to further purification by re-chromatography on Sephadex G-100. Alginate lyase activity was fractionated in the Sephadex column into one major peak, and the specific activity of this fraction reached 116 U/mg. The optimal substrate concentration, pH and temperature for alginate lyase activity were 8 mg/ml, pH 7.5 and 37 °C, respectively. While, Km and Vmax values were 1.07 mg alginate/ ml and 128.2 U/mg protein, respectively. The enzyme was partially stable below 50 °C, and the activity of the enzyme was strongly enhanced by K+, and strongly inhibited by Ba+2, Cd+2, Fe+2 and Zn+2. The purified enzyme yielded a single band on SDS-PAGE with molecular weight (40.0 kDa).

BRIA Homes offers viable housing options outside Metro Manila
An increasing number of Filipinos are heading back to the provinces to reclaim the idyllic lifestyles they once had.
People have long held the notion that success means making it big in metropolitan cities. This has been so ingrained in their minds that through the years, legions of Filipinos have left their hometowns to find better opportunities in the metropolis. That is, until a global health crisis upended their lives, for good or for ill.
For some Filipinos, adapting to the pandemic's post-2020 landscape has been painfully challenging but most have handled this with such remarkable resilience that joy and optimism prevail over their anxieties. For one, with quarantine protocols changing the way people live and work, an increasing number of so-called 'probinsyanos' are heading back to the provinces to reclaim the idyllic lifestyles they once had. And by a twist of circumstances, jaded cityfolk are following suit.
Indeed, as constantly evolving technology supports flexible work and study arrangements, more and more Metro-Manila residents are moving to the suburbs or even farther in the countryside. Out there, wide-open, tranquil spaces ensure compliance with safety measures as they ride out the pandemic.
BRIA's wide-open, tranquil spaces ensure compliance with safety measures
as they ride out the pandemic.
The Philippine real estate industry is, of course, casting its sights on this growing market—with BRIA Homes enjoying a strategic advantage. Having committed to providing all Filipinos with stylish, comfortable, and affordable dwellings, leading property developer BRIA Homes now counts more than fifty projects across the country. This has serendipitously given BRIA an enormous headstart in offering property seekers prime residential locations outside the Metro.
To date, BRIA offers a wide array of affordable house and lot packages in the nearby provinces of Cavite and Laguna; down south in Negros, Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon, Leyte, Samar, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, North Cotabato, and South Cotabato; and up north in Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, and Pangasinan. BRIA also has finely developed residential communities in Rizal and Bataan.
With the government's continuous work on new infrastructure, travel time between towns and cities in the provinces is drastically reduced, prodding home seekers to restart their lives in BRIA's healthier environs.
Still, BRIA Homes believes that their communities' proximity to key destinations such as schools, hospitals, churches, and commercial establishments remains a coveted feature, as does their access to major roads and highways.
As constantly evolving technology supports flexible work and study
arrangements, more and more Metro Manila residents are moving to the suburbs or
even farther in the countryside.
BRIA likewise assures all its residents and homeowners of security and protection through perimeter fences, guarded entrances and exits, 24/7 CCTV coverage, and solar lighting at night. Amenities such as children's parks and playgrounds, basketball courts, and multipurpose halls promote a sense of community among them.
And to encourage efficient and hassle-free transactions—such as remittances and amortization payments—between BRIA and its homeowners, property management suggests availing of digital options through the company's partner banks such as Maybank, BDO, Unionbank, PNB, Security Bank, RCBC, and Metrobank. For contactless and cashless orders and payments, trusted e-wallets GCash, Paymaya, and All Easy may be utilized.
Finally, prospective buyers are advised to check out BRIA Homes' various house models through its 360 Virtual Tours in www.bria.com.ph. They may also attend digital open-house events and live-selling. Online inquiries may be done through BRIA's Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/BriaHomesInc.

Movies At Dog Farm : The Final Girls (2015) - Saved From Writing The Dog Farm's Final Post?
Glad to see you're back, and doubly relieved you haven't given up on movie blogging. You always have such a unique perspective, and that's why I keep coming back here. With that said, I guess I need to check this movie out! It's always rewarding to find a movie that restores your faith in modern filmmaking. I know I've had my doubts from time to time. Take care.
Good to hear some barking from The Dog Farm!
You voice my disenchantment with the film industry at present, as well. So many directors, I feel, think episodically. So few are storytellers.
For instance, I watched Bobcat Goldtwait's _Willow Creek_. His films have been inventive and different in the past, and the hype around WC got me so excited to watch the film. My heart sank when the premise did nothing more than take The Blair Witch formula, component for component, and simply substitute Bigfoot. By no means was this film a major success, but it did get critical praise. That, to me, is a warning sign that the people judging movies do not understand the core concepts--they want only to have impressive parts, not wholes. Much of the ballyhoo centered on the actors and the build up of tension; none commented on how much of a rip off the story turned out to be.
While I understand that I sometimes get too caught up in how I wanted the movie to be rather than allow the filmmaker his or her creative license, I so rarely see a film that is unique due to its storytelling capability. When I herald a Christopher Nolan or Guillermo del Toro it is because they tell a story, not just mesh parts. The recent blockbusters, _Jurassic World_ and _Avengers...Ultron_ feel like stitched together parts that don't fit at all. _The Dark Knight_, however, moves with a fluidity that could only come from a well executed story.
I will be sure to watch _The Final Girls_ and hope to have the same spark rekindled in myself. I also hope that more film tickle your fancy and allow such discussion. I know you may feel like one voice lost in a chorus, but when that one voice gets all the others singing in harmony it makes for a pretty darn good sound.
I had been curious about Willow Creek - Bobcat's God Bless America (2011) was interesting - but it takes A LOT now to get me to watch a found footage flick of any sort. It also came out at nearly the same time Exists (2014) did - also a found footage Bigfoot flick - and I guess I just didn't feel like I needed to watch two different versions of the same movie in close proximity to each other.
Even after years of trying not to judge movies based upon what I wanted them to be rather than what the filmmaker had in mind, I still frequently fall into that trap. Thing is, I'm not as hard on myself as I used to be about it because fair or not, if I have to mentally apply an asterisk to my gut reaction then there was probably something about the movie - or the movie's approach to the subject matter - that wildly missed the mark.
I'd even go so far as to say that I don't necessarily require that a movie offer a unique storytelling experience, just that it offer a story. The Final Girls is actually a pretty good example of that. The relationship between mother and daughter that the movie is built around isn't really anything groundbreaking in terms of storytelling, but it's implemented well - in a day and age when most spoofy horror/comedies of this sort wouldn't bother to implement it at all. The time is taken to set up the nuts and bolts of the relationship in an effective but economical narrative fashion, both actresses wisely sell this aspect of the story with sincere performances, and the movie is careful about how it gets its chocolate (the relationship) into its peanut butter (the comedy). As a consequence, every other aspect of the movie is more effective. Adrienne watched it with me, and whereas a slasher movie generally only solicits a shrug when a character is offed, we both had an oh-no-not-her kind of response to the fates of several characters. When is the last time you saw a slasher movie that evoked that response. The most recent one I can think of off the top of my head was probably when they offed Randy in Scream II...in 1997!
Because the parts that worked in The Final Girls worked so well, I even found that I was able to overlook a lot of nitpicky things that probably would have irritated the hell out of me in other movies. For example, the timeline makes little sense. The slasher movie the kids get drawn into is clearly fashioned after a slasher movie from around 1981 or so, which would make Malin Akerman's mother in present day fiftysomething, which in turn means she would only have been a child when she made it. Along the same lines, there are several jokes - one involving a movie character cracking wise about Michael Jackson's Bad springs to mind - that don't quite match up to the time period the old slasher movie is clearly trying to invoke. I did not care at all, because those details aren't what the story was really about. Additionally, I was sufficiently invested in what the story was really about to cheerfully disregard these inconsistencies while in a lesser movie - one without a story to tell - these inconsistencies would have been the only thing the movie offered me to focus on.
I'm probably going to call my horror geek credentials into question when I say this, but I was never nearly as enamored of Cabin In The Woods as everyone else seemed to be. It was undoubtedly very clever and technically proficient, but I really didn't care at all about any character in that movie. Because I had no emotional investment in any of the characters, the movie as whole came off as a very slick and clever clockwork of a film that made little impression on me. I bring this up because Cabin In The Woods and The Final Girls both cover a lot of the same thematic ground. I loved The Final Girls, but I felt very meh about Cabin In The Woods, and my differing reactions mostly come down to the lack of sympathetic characters presented in the latter. Had Cabin In The Woods bothered to give its characters compelling story arcs, then I might have cared.
No, you are not losing your Geek cred by not liking _Cabin in the Woods_. Everyone has the choice to pick and choose choices as long as those choices are wisely explained--and that's where you always deliver.
Very much Like you every so often a small break is needed, this turns into a hiatus and then it's hard to come back. I've had two long breaks now and I've only been blogging 3 or so years.
When I do come back though, yours is always one of the blogs I return to; so know you do have a fan.
The Final Girls does sound fun, and I'll be sure to check it out. As for Cabin in the Woods; I did like it though now you come to mention it probably because of it's technical proficiency and artificial cleverness, not it's heart or characters, and it's not a film I've felt like watching again... Need to ponder on this.
Thanks for visiting. I've been pleased to see Watching The Dead spring back to life recently. Because zombies, right? Take those breaks when you need to as long as you keep coming back from hiatus.
The Final Girls is available to stream, Vern. I watched it on Vudu. And yes, if and when a Dog Farm podcast happens, you can absolutely be one of my first guests!

Was sodomised and worse......
One senior steward who had a couple of drinks with a Moari guy in Auckland was in the end sodomoised by the latter.
You don't believe this but after his ass was torn and traumatised he was almost sacked by his empoyer. He was deemed to have brought disrepute and shame to his company. Moreover,he was told he broke the company's rule of having his Moari "friend" spent the night in his hotel room.
Mind you that steward was a "straight" guy and not a gay or something.
I know this former indian chief steward, he is bi-sexual. A common friend had an experience with him when he was tipsy and his tendencies appeared. Poor guy is married with 2 kids and I believe by now should be divorced.
Oh really he is a bi-sexual?Goodness we didn't know that.Btw is he still with sia because boh tong didn't mention he was sack or not?
Did not know too until common friend related to me an incident with him after he left SQ. Not sacked but he left SQ in 2003. Poor guy. Not too sure if he is working or not now. Wife left him and his kids still young.....
reminds me of the Flight Steward who was gang raped in Taipei in the 1990s. Cheung Y M.
Heard he got promoted already.
His story came out in the New Paper Headlines.
"Singapore Airlines Flight Steward Gang Raped in Taipei"
Any1 got story on Cheung Y M.who was gang raped in taipei?
Ya, I remember this guy paxed back from Taipei.
By that time we all read the report.
It seemed he went to some Gay Bar in Taipei and they all gang banged him.
Then he reported sick and could not work back because they split his ass.
Back in Singapore, he went on MC for quite some time, and Cabin Crew Management tried to get him to come to office for interview but he refused.
I think he got promoted and is still flying.

Police: Drunk man with shotgun arrested
Police early Monday morning arrested a man they said was drunk and assaulted officers.
The incident began at about 1:30 a.m. at a residence in the 3700 block of Churn Creek Road, Redding police said. Officers were told a drunk man with a sawed off shotgun was in a residence tearing off the bedroom doors, police said.
However, the man left the residence before police arrived and went to a nearby vehicle, police said. When officers arrived they found Marcial Lawson, 27, of Redding in the parking lot of an apartment complex, police said.
Lawson challenged officers, threw a glass bottle at them and then ran to a nearby residence, police said. Officers ordered Lawson out of the residence.
He came out of the residence a short time later, but continued to ignore officers' orders, so "RPD K-9 Hank was utilized to take Lawson into custody," police said.
After his arrest, officers found a sawed off shotgun in Lawson's vehicle, police said.
Lawson was taken to the hospital for his injuries before he was booked into the Shasta County Jail on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, having a sawed-off shotgun and violating probation.

Christmas is here for Upper Canada Playhouse in more ways than one! Their upcoming Christmas Show, HAVE YOURSELF A SWINGING LITTLE COUNTRY CHRISTMAS, is set to open November 26 and construction has started this week on their much anticipated new rehearsal hall!
This new addition to the theatre will complete their cultural space and enable The Playhouse to rehearse their shows onsite. The theatre already builds their shows in its workshop facility and rehearses some of them at the theatre itself. But during the summer months they have traditionally used the former Masonic Hall at St. Lawrence & Fifth Sts as their rehearsal space. This summer they rehearsed in a room made available to them by Tom Morrow and the McIntosh Country' Inn and Conference Centre.
'These have all been great spaces for us,' remarked Artistic Director Donnie Bowes. 'But having a dedicated rehearsal space onsite will allow us to produce our shows more efficiently and effectively with all departments under one roof.' The Playhouse has renovated, built and improved many aspects of its space over the past several years having added a Box Office and Administrative wing on the West end of the building and a workshop at the East end. It has also undergone extensive renovations to continue to provide a comfortable and safe environment for its audience and also recently installed new state of the art seating. All of these previous renovations, improvements and additions were paid for by The Playhouse Box Office and Sponsorship revenues.
The cost of this current construction of a rehearsal hall, however, has been shared by Canadian Heritage Cultural Spaces Program with a grant of $97,000 which MP Guy Lauzon and North Dundas Mayor and past Warden Eric Duncan championed. In announcing the substantial contribution, Mr. Lauzon emphasized that it was an investment in a local organization that makes a significant contribution to the cultural and economic well-being of our community.

Q: constructing homotopy Let $X,Y$ be topological spaces and $f,g:X \rightarrow Y$ be continuous maps. Suppose $f,g$ are homotopic by a homotopy $H:X \times [0,1] \rightarrow Y$. Let $\gamma$ be a path in $Y$ with endpoints $y_0=f(x_0)$ and $z_0=g(x_0)$ defined by $\gamma(t)=H(x_0,t)$.
Let $\alpha:[0,1] \rightarrow X$ be a loop in $X$ with $\alpha(0)=\alpha(1)=x_0$.
 I would like to show that the paths $f \circ \alpha$ and $\gamma \ast ((g \circ \alpha) \ast \bar{\gamma})$ are path homotopic by constructing a homotopy $G:[0,1] \times [0,1] \rightarrow Y$.
 I know that $\gamma$ induces a change of base point isomorphism $T_{\gamma}:\pi_1(Y;z_0) \rightarrow \pi_1(Y;y_0)$ given by $T_{\gamma}([\beta])=[\gamma \ast \beta \ast \bar{\gamma}]$ for all $[\beta]\in \pi_1(Y;z_0)$.
 I don't know how to build this homotopy $G$ specifically, but I know it must satisfy the following:
$$G(s,0)=(f \circ \alpha)(s)$$
$$G(s,1)=(\gamma \ast ((g \circ \alpha) \ast \bar{\gamma}))(s)$$
$$G(0,t)=(f \circ \alpha)(0)=(\gamma \ast ((g \circ \alpha) \ast \bar{\gamma}))(0)$$
$$G(1,t)=(f \circ \alpha)(1)=(\gamma \ast ((g \circ \alpha) \ast \bar{\gamma}))(1).$$

A: THEOREM: Let $h:X \to Y$ be a continuous function. If $α,β$ are homotopic paths in $X$ then $hoα$ and $hoβ$ are homotopic in $Y$.
We're given that there exists a continuous map $H:X×I \to Y$ such that $H(x,0)=f(x)$ and $H(x,1)=g(x)$.
Hence in order to show that paths $foα$ and $\gamma \ast (goα) \ast \hat \gamma$ are homotopic we have to look for paths in $X×I$ such that their image under H is $foα$ and $\gamma \ast (goα) \ast \hat \gamma$.
Let $c(t)=(x_0,t)$, $p(s)=(α(s),0)$, $q(s)=(α(s),1)$. Hence $p$ and $c \ast q \ast \hat c$ are our required paths.
Now let $G:I×I \to X×I$ be defined as $G(s,t)=(α(s),t)$. Now if we can find paths in $I×I$ such that their image under G are $p$ and $c \ast q \ast \hat c$ we're done because that means $p$ and $c \ast q \ast \hat c$ are homotopic.
Let $a(t)= (0,t)$, $b(s)=(s,1)$, $c(t)=(1,t)$ and $d(s)=(s,0)$.
It can be seen that $d$ and $a \ast b \ast \hat c$ are the required paths. Now since both these paths $d$ and $a \ast b \ast \hat c$ have the same initial and terminal point and since $I×I$ is simply connected they are homotopic. Implies $p$ and $c \ast q \ast \hat c$ are homotopic implies $foα$ and $\gamma \ast (goα) \ast \hat \gamma$ are homotopic.

Time to Tell the Truth About Slavery at Mount Vernon
By Sudie Hofmann At the time of George Washington's death, the Washingtons enslaved 318 people of African descent at Mount Vernon, according to the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. But you would not know it from the main tour, nor from the brochure. In fact, most visitors, including schoolchildren, can spend hours admiring the Mount Vernon mansion, fine furniture, and manicured lawns without considering that it was all paid for with forced labor.
Rethinking Cinco de Mayo
By Sudie Hofmann
I recently came across a flier in an old backpack of my daughter's: Wanted: Committee Chairs for this Spring's Cinco de Mayo All School Celebration. The flier was replete with cultural props including a sombrero, cactus tree, donkey, taco, maracas, and chili peppers. Seeing this again brought back the moment when, years earlier, my daughter had handed the flier to me, and I'd thought, "Oh, no." The local K-6 elementary school's Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) was sponsoring a stereotypical Mexican American event. There were no Chicana/o students, parents, or staff members who I was aware of in the school community and I was concerned about the event's authenticity. I presumed the PTSA meant well, and was attempting to provide a multicultural experience for students and families, but it seemed they were likely to get it wrong.

Is Diet Soda Making Us Gain Weight?
Nearly three years ago, I embarked on a largely successful personal wellness campaign. With the guidance of a trainer and a nutritionist, I lost almost 50 pounds. But even as I gladly set aside pasta, French fries, bagels and M&M's for the sake of my health, I would not part with Diet Coke.
New research shows that decision may come back to haunt me and the rest of us who turn to diet soda for a zero-calorie caffeine and carbonation fix.
My nutritionist recommended I give up my two-can-a-day habit (OK, sometimes three) and maybe switch to tea. "We don't know what artificial sweeteners can do to us," she said. "So why consume them?"
I ignored her. But, honestly, I'd been thinking about the potential risks for years. The occasional study finding a correlation between diet soda consumption and overeating always struck a nerve. Unlike water, I did not like drinking Diet Coke without eating something with it. During the year or so that I focused intensely on weight loss, that didn't seem to matter as much. My meals were small (and sometimes skipped) and my snacks were measured out in handfuls of nuts and berries.
Today, as my vigilance has flagged a bit and my weight has slowly but measurably crept back up, the Diet-Coke-and-snacking habit has become more concerning. That worry is now abetted by the new, widely publicized analysis of research published in the journal Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism earlier this summer. That paper indicated that drinks powered by artificial sweeteners, besides raising our risk of contracting a variety of life-shortening conditions, may actually make us more likely to gain weight than lose it.
If those conclusions prove true, a fundamental reason for the existence of diet sodas (and many other low-calorie products) may prove to be an illusion.
The body's normal response to tasting something sweet is to send out a signal that sugar and calories are incoming so hormones can be released to prepare, explained the report's lead author, Susan Swithers, a Purdue University professor of psychological sciences. This hormonal response influences our feeling of being satisfied or full.
However, that response is blunted when we eat something that tastes sweet, but doesn't introduce real sugar into the blood system. "You get that sweet taste but calories and sugar don't show up," Swithers told Foxnews.com. "Your body says, 'Wait, this isn't what I was expecting to happen' and over time you may not produce those same anticipatory responses."
By disrupting our metabolism, then, artificial sweeteners may induce "metabolic derangements," making us more likely to overeat because we feel less full than we should. In time our bodies may no longer release the hormones needed to process sugar, at least not at the same level, Swithers told NPR.
The studies Swithers reviewed for her analysis considered the effect of sweeteners including aspartame, sucralose and saccharin. The research found that their consumption routinely led to weight gain, as well as a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, heart disease and metabolic syndrome.
Findings from the long-term San Antonio Heart Study were especially compelling, identifying a strong correlation between diet soda and eventual weight gain. On average, for each daily diet soft drink study participants regularly drank, they were 65 percent more likely to become overweight over the next eight years, and 41 percent more likely to become obese.
"Public health officials are rightfully concerned about the consequences of consuming sugar-sweetened beverages, such as soft drinks," she said in a statement, "but these warnings may need to be expanded to advocate limiting the intake of all sweeteners, including no-calorie sweeteners and so-called diet soft drinks."
Our psychological response to low-calorie drinks is a critical part of the equation. The message that we should not drink our calories may now have been so well-received that some of us are forgetting the basic premise that we shouldn't get too many calories from food either. Also, the weight-loss goals of diet-soda consumers may be sabotaged by internal negotiations, conscious or not, in which we allow ourselves to eat a larger hamburger or more French fries because we're having them with a Diet Coke.
"But the animal work indicates that health problems can occur even without this kind of thinking," Swithers said. "Since we don't fully understand the mechanisms, we don't really know how to reverse the consequences and that will continue to be a problem as our population ages and the rates of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes continue to increase."
The American Beverage Association has released a statement challenging the report, arguing that "low-calorie sweeteners are some of the most studied and reviewed ingredients in the food supply today. They are safe and an effective tool in weight loss and weight management."
Other obesity experts say the research is not yet entirely convincing. While it may prove true that diet sodas do not help us lose weight, it's not clear that they hurt the cause, either. Some smaller studies have found that many people drinking diet sodas compensate for lost calories by eating more, leading to a net status quo. Others point out that many consumers don't switch to diet drinks until they already become overweight, so the drinks themselves may not be the problem.
"But when it comes to making policy decisions, it's more important than ever that the science is considered and that the public understands what the science says in order to help them make the best health decisions."
As for me, I think I've heard enough. When I hit that usual midafternoon energy slump this afternoon, I'll take a brisk walk or boil some tea. (I hope.) Diet Coke may or may not be hurting my diet goals, but it's harder than ever to believe it's helping.

Q: Server 2012 R2-DFS Replication not working one direction-Insufficient Disk Space error but it's not I have seen several posts on this issue and possible solutions, so far nothing helped in my case.
We have two servers S1 (Primary) and S2 connected in LAN. We have users folder in Replication Group. Replication Group's bandwidth is full. From S1 to S2, its working fine and backlog is very low which is normal. But S2 to S1, its stuck at 7779, an hour ago it was 7780. I have checked DFSR event logs, DFSR diagnostic reports etc.
In event log and also in the report, for S2 server, there is an error:
DFS Replication unable to replicate files for replicated folder Users due to insufficent disk space.

  Affected replicated folders: Users

  Description: The DFS Replication service was unable to replicate one or more files because adequate free space to replicate the files was not available for staging folder E:\Users\DfsrPrivate\Staging. Event ID: 4502
  Last occurred: Wednesday, January 30, 2019 at 3:34:46 PM (GMT10:00)

  Suggested action: Determine whether the volume reported hosts the replicated folder, the staging folder or both as in default configuration. See additional information about disk space under the informational section in the table titled "Current used and free disk space on volumes where replicated folders are stored". Ensure that enough free space is available on the volume for replication to proceed or move the associated replicated folder or staging folder to a different volume that has more free space.

Now, our S2-E: drive is 42.1TB and 28.3TB is free, S1-E: drive also has similar space. Users is the root shared-folder that contact individual users folders. Usually users files are not that big.
Users folder Stating Folder size has neber been a problem as I allocated sufficient space (200GB) for both servers. When I checked staging folder current size, on S2 its 4.49GB only, on S1 its 146GB.
When I run " Dfsrdiag.exe ReplicationState" on S2, it gives me this:
dfsrdiag.exe ReplicationState /member:S2

  Total number of inbound updates scheduled: 88

Summary

  Active inbound connections: 1
  Updates received: 120

  Active outbound connections: 0

  Total number of outbound updates being served: 15

Summary

  Active inbound connections: 0

Just a week ago, S2's replication service got into issue and it had to rebuild its database, then did an initial replication that took around 2-3 days to complete. Since then replication service is running fine. The most recent event log that catches my eye after S2 was last rebooted is drive E: free-space issue (Event ID 4502). Right before that there is another entry 5014
Text
The DFS Replication service is stopping communication with partner S1 for replication group RG01 due to an error. The service will retry the connection periodically.

Replication Group ID: 158FE127-1927-463F-88CC-70E6B0014656

This is I have, and I am in a loop in finding our out what is responsible for S2 not replicating or very very slow replicating to S1. Any advice/help will be appreciated. Thank you.

A: The initial symptoms (insufficient disk space) looks like a problem with staging free space on S1.
Event ID 4502 can relate to disk quotas for users. Do you use disk quotas?

Première Vision Paris to be staged in digital format
In July, the management of Première Vision Paris took a firm stand: despite the uncertainty about the global health situation for the coming autumn, the next edition of the textile sourcing show would go ahead in mid-September at the Paris-Nord Villepinte exhibition centre.
Curated insights, such as the Trend Forum, will be available online this season at PV Paris - Première Vision Paris
But the pandemic's evolution in France has changed the rules. "We are convinced that the economic recovery must be bolstered, and that it is our role to make an effort in this sense. But we won't go against the law," said a disappointed Gilles Lasbordes, general manager of Première Vision. "During the summer, the [French] Prime Minister announced that major events would be prohibited until the end of October, given the spike in Covid-19 cases. A decree was recently published to this effect. Our next show will therefore be entirely digital," he added.
Holding events gathering together more than 5,000 people is still forbidden in France, preventing major international trade shows from being staged in the country. Besides, the widespread rise of Covid-19 cases in Europe, with for example Berlin imposing a quarantine on people coming from Paris, is making business travel in the region even more complex.
To connect with international buyers unable to travel to Paris, and to provide answers for them, Première Vision did intend to develop online solutions for exhibitors and buyers. "We are now planning to deploy digital versions of the majority of the services we offer, especially for those who are travelling from outside the Schengen area," said Lasbordes. "In the last few weeks, we have photographed all the collections exhibitors have sent to us, and we've also developed a series of digital formats, especially for our information services. All our exhibitors are featured on the [show's] site, and their presentation pages have been redesigned, giving the possibility of booking appointments and calling exhibitors. It's a response to our business going digital," he added.
The digital version of PV Paris will be held on September 15-16 and will feature conferences, presentations and networking opportunities. Enough for exhibitors and buyers to stay connected until the next edition in 2021. Not all physical shows in France have been cancelled however. Première Vision Made in France will go ahead at the Carreau du Temple in Paris on September 1-2, showcasing the products of garment manufacturers and finishers, accessories suppliers, and knitwear and fabric producers operating in France.

Countdown to Kenosha Question 3: Will Austin Carr make the leap?
He's the top returning wide receiver.
By Tristan Jung Aug 12, 2016, 9:03am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Countdown to Kenosha Question 3: Will Austin Carr make the leap?
Caylor Arnold-USA TODAY Sports
Northwestern officially started its 2016 season by kicking off training camp with a team meeting on Sunday, August 7. The team will be in Evanston for a week and then head up to Kenosha, Wisconsin, for a grueling week of workouts and practices in the summer heat, a time for the team to come together on and off the field. Kenosha will go a long way in determining who wins key position battles, who ends up where on the depth chart and much, much more. It's the equivalent of NFL training camp, except compressed into about one week. We count down the biggest questions—two per day—facing Pat Fitzgerald's team heading into camp.
We continue the countdown with No. 3: Can Austin Carr become a No. 1 wideout?
The weight of reviving Northwestern's stagnant receiving corps will fall heavily upon the shoulders of Austin Carr. He will enter Kenosha as one of the most experienced and the top returning wide receiver on the team. He also finished second on the team in receiving yards to Dan Vitale, who is now a pro. He has risen from walk-on to No. 1 receiver.
But for Northwestern's offense to truly improve next season, it appears that Carr will have to take one step further and become a true top target for Clayton Thorson. Despite his fine season last year, Carr only caught 18 passes, which is not even two per game. Sure, Northwestern did not throw the ball very much, but with Dan Vitale and Christian Jones gone, Carr will simply have to have a bigger role in Northwestern's offense. Let's look at the tape and try to find out what he brings.
Clayton Thorson pass complete to Austin Carr for 17 yds against Eastern Illinois
This was Austin Carr's first catch of the 2015 season. It's a relatively simple 17-yard completion, but as you know, 17-yard completions were few and far between last season. Yes, the play is against Eastern Illinois, but this play is a perfect example of what Austin Carr will have to do in 2016. Carr will have to take on part of the "safety blanket" role that Dan Vitale played last year. When Thorson is scrambling and looking downfield, Carr will be the first receiver he looks at. In this example, Thorson does a good job extending the play and keeping his eyes downfield, and Carr finds a soft spot in the coverage. Later on, we'll see that Carr was exceptional at moving the chains.
Clayton Thorson pass complete to Austin Carr for 44 yds and a TD
These are Austin Carr's two touchdowns from 2015. In the first play, he shows good agility and awareness, and he easily evades the admittedly poor Eastern Illinois defense for the touchdown. The 25-yard pass against Ball State was just a great throw from Thorson, and Carr's ability to get open down the sideline is exactly what Northwestern will need in 2016. Carr burns Ball State cornerback Darius Conaway and makes an easy catch down the sideline. The line gives Thorson great pass protection and allows Carr enough time to fully develop his route. By the time Thorson decides to pull the trigger, it's already far too late for any Ball State defender to recover.
Unfortunately, this was Carr's final touchdown of the 2015 season. Carr—like most of his fellow receivers—just was not a factor in the red zone throughout 2015. To be fair, Northwestern rarely threw the ball in the red zone and was also awful at converting possessions into touchdowns—three redzone touchdown passes (and just 16 touchdowns total) in 40 redzone trips. Of course, it's a chicken-or-the-egg approach. Was the scheme conservative because of the personnel, or was the personnel unable to execute the scheme? Regardless, the wide receivers need to improve, especially when it comes to winning one-on-one redzone battles.
Carr's best asset is his ability to create timely, relatively big plays, even though he's not the type of receiver who will out-muscle or out-run a defensive back to the ball or make highlight reel grabs over defenders' heads. However, Carr was still Northwestern's most explosive wide receiver last season (by IsoPPP) by a large margin and also its most successful. Carr is 6-foot-1 and relies on his agility and route-running to get open. He has good hands. That's why I think his ideal role is as a possession receiver who can occasionally make big plays downfield when he needs to. He's not going to be a great red zone target or become a true deep threat. Someone else will probably have to step up to perform those tasks unless he's reading this article and becomes hell-bent on proving me wrong.
Does that mean he can't be Northwestern's No. 1 receiver? No, he definitely still can be.
Clayton Thorson pass complete to Austin Carr for 14 yards against Minnesota
This is a play where I think Carr's potential as a really good short-yardage, high-efficiency receiver shines through. Northwestern runs a successful bubble screen off a play fake and is able to get Carr the ball in the open field. That's Carr's wheelhouse, and he runs for a first down and plenty of extra yardage after the catch. Minnesota was clearly expecting a run on this play (can you blame them?), with only two defenders guarding the three receivers. Carr is left with acres of space.
The problem with this whole idea of Carr's ideal role as a possession receiver who can work in space is that Northwestern never had the opportunity to play to Carr's strengths in 2015. How many times did Northwestern have a second-and-short? How many times did Northwestern call for a pass on second and short? I don't have the exact numbers, but I'm going to make a reasonably safe assumption and say that did not happen often. The situation that occurred above against Minnesota happened rarely for Northwestern. The Wildcats were 127th (second to last) in the nation in yards per pass and 93rd in yards per rush. Yikes. Usually, teams can get yardage on first down and open up the playbook on second and short. Usually, teams can extend drives and sometimes threaten deep using players like Austin Carr. But with a lack of big plays to keep defenses on their feet and few second-and-short opportunities, combined with Mick McCall's already-conservative playcalling, Carr's opportunities were limited.
However, when the Wildcats were ahead of the chains and willing to dial up the deep ball, Carr showed he could take advantage of any slight defensive mistake. Below, the linebackers and safeties tense up for a split second on the play-action, allowing Carr an easy release downfield. He beats now-NFL safety Clayton Fejedelem and shows impressive giddy-up running by him.
But where Carr excelled last year was as a third down chain-mover. Of his 18 catches, 16 of them went for first downs (counting touchdowns as first downs). Here are a coupe examples. He knows where the sticks are and gets past them.
Of course, if Carr is utilized as more of a specialized receiver than an all-around target, that means he's going to have to take a beating. He has never had health issues in his career, but he's also never had to make more than two catches per game. Northwestern also hasn't had the best luck at keeping wide receivers on the field (see Jones, Christian), which worries me. Hopefully Carr can make the most of his increased workload and stay healthy in 2016.
Northwestern should use Carr more because he brings dependability and shiftiness on offense that nobody else on the roster has at the moment. I don't blame him much for Northwestern's offensive dysfunction last year, and he was probably underutilized and misused during 2015. While he definitely does not have tremendous upside, Northwestern doesn't need tremendous upside right now. Northwestern needs a functional offense that can give some relief to its fantastic defensive unit. Austin Carr can help build a functional offense, whether it's as a safety blanket, a go-to guy or, on occasion, a guy who can stretch the field. On that basis alone, Carr is ready to become Northwestern's No. 1 receiver for 2016.

Why did Kiosk Keith leave I'm A Celebrity?
Outback Shack employee left show in 2017 after 15 years
Ellie Harrison
Tuesday 07 December 2021 21:05
I'm a Celebrity 2020 contestants revealed
Kiosk Keith was just as much a staple on I'm a Celebrity as Ant and Dec, before he was allegedly fired from the show in 2017.
The Australian, whose real name is Raymond Grant, was the Outback Shack's one and only employee and he would greet celebrity campmates with silence and a stony stare after they completed a Dingo Dollar Challenge.
It was his job to take the contestants' bag of dollars and ring the other stars back at camp, asking them a difficult question which, if they answered it correctly, earned them some treats from the Shack. If they got it wrong, however, he would slam down the shutters and the celebrities would be left with nothing.
Part-way through 2017's series of I'm a Celebrity, Keith disappeared. At the time, Ant and Dec told fans he was unwell and he was temporarily replaced by a woman called Kiosk Kath.
The following year, in January 2018, ITV eventually confirmed Keith had left for good, releasing a statement, saying: "Ray is no longer under contract on the show. There are no plans for him to return this year."

Ant and Dec worried new gameshow Limitless Win would 'bankrupt ITV'
I'm a Celebrity final gets 7.1 million viewers – 5 million fewer than last year
However, an insider reportedly told The Sun that Keith had an alcohol problem and alleged that he was inappropriate towards a female colleague.
"It wasn't unusual for Keith to turn up to work drunk as he's done it before but this incident has shocked everyone," the source said. "He was drunk when he got on the bus in the morning. Then he behaved inappropriately towards a female member of the team who's half his age."
His ex-wife Donna defended him, saying he is "no sexual predator" and should not be made out to be a "horrible man".
Keith himself wrote a message to fans at the end of 2018, tweeting: "OK just read up that i'm no longer on the show for reasons I won't say, you can find out yourself ffs. This account will no longer be used so enjoy this last tweet of mine."

In 2018, Keith was officially replaced by Kiosk Kev, whose real name is Mark Herlaar.
Herlaar, however, was then replaced by Kiosk Cledwyn after the show moved to Wales. The Welshman, who insiders claimed to be named after the late local politician Cledwyn Hughes, is now back for the 2021 series as an employee at Ye Olde Shoppe.

Q: Styling divs and other css styles to HTML elements in SharePoint 2013 I am following this SharePoint 2010 tutorial where the author is adding styles directly in the html mark-up of the page.
When I edit the mark-up in SharePoint 2013 and click OK initially the styles are applied, but when I click save and view the page again, all styles have been stripped out.
As Fox politely pointed out, this is normal behaviour - so how do I apply styles to html elements within SharePoint 2013 if I want to make a custom page with a custom layout?

A: If you don't want to edit master pages or page layouts I usually store the CSS in a document library (or asset library) on the same SharePoint site. Then I add content editor web part (CEWP) to the page to 'insert' this css into the page.
Disadvantage is that you need to add that CEWP to every page where you want to apply the styling.
I have once written a blog post about it. Although the blog post is about inserting HTML snippet (google maps sample). The idea for your CSS is exactly the same. Store it in a file an reference it with a CEWP. (works great for JavaScript as well)
You find the post here:
http://blog.amtopm.be/2011/05/04/use-google-maps-in-sharepoint-oob/

A: A very effective and easy way is to store the css files either in the file system or in the style library(I vote for the first one).

*

*First create a css file with the style definitions you want and save it in the structure in Visual Studio of a SharePoint Project. The files could either be copied to SharePoint root or to a SharePoint library on deployment.

*Then create a user control which you deploy to the controltemplates/projectname. In that user control you add the references to your css files add possible javascript files.

*Create a delegate control that puts your user control in the AdditionalPageHead on the master page.

*Create a feature for your delegate control that will activate your css.

A: I have not worked with Sharepoint 2013 before but i'm pretty sure that it stays exactly the same as in 2010. You can add

The current roughing up I am using is a Yellow Jacket SuperEvac 93560, which is a dual stage rotary vane pump, tested down to an ultimate pressure of 0.013 Torr and is rated for 6 CFM. With the roughing pump performance verified, it was time to prep the diffusion pump for final assembly.
The diffusion pump is shipped with a thin coating of DC-704 oil on the inside to protect the inner surfaces. This pump happens to be brand new, and since I am upgrading to 705 oil, I needed to disassemble and clean the inside for filling with the new oil. Disassembly of the pump ended up being incredibly easy and straightforward, and was a great learning experience in case I ever needed to service the pump.
The first step was to remove the internal jet assembly. At the top of the stack is a cold cap that also acts as a retainer for keeping the stack securely in place. A simple bolt is loosened on the inside, and the cold cap is carefully pulled out. This part was the only challenging part, since the fit is extremely tight to ensure good thermal transfer between the wall and cold cap. With the cold cap removed, the upper jet assembly could be pulled right off.
Next, the rest of the jet assembly was carefully removed from the body. It turns out that for this particular model, the lower stages are all welded together as a single component, making disassembly extremely easy. All in all, there were only a few pieces for the entire assembly: the cold cap retainer, retainer spring, cold cap, upper jet, and lower jet assemblies.
With the pump disassembled, the actual cleaning could begin. For this phase, I used acetone to first remove the oil residue off all of the internal components and inside the pump. Before cleaning anything with the acetone however, I made sure to first remove the o-ring from the flange o-ring groove, which could be very easily damaged from the acetone. The jet stack was fairly easy to clean. Inside the pump took a bit more effort since the oil had pooled up a bit at the bottom, and needed to be thoroughly removed. Kimwipes were used for the cleaning process. After everything was thoroughly cleaned with the acetone, I went back and re-cleaned everything with 99.99% anhydrous isopropyl alcohol, to help remove any residue left behind by the acetone. After the alcohol wash, I dried the inside and and jet stack with a hair dryer to evaporate any remaining alcohol from the surface. The stack could then be reassembled in reverse order from how it was taken apart. At the bottom of the main jet assembly is a small notch, which indexes into a bump at the bottom of the boiler, aligning the stack in the proper orientation. Again, assembly was very easy, with the cold-cap retainer being the most tricky part, aligning a small pin at the top of the cap through a hole in the retainer to keep the assembly aligned. With the retainer bolt tightened, cleaning was complete!
With cleaning complete, and the pump reassembled, the moment I had been waiting for was finally here – filling the pump with fresh 705 oil, and completing the final assembly of the subsystem. The 705 oil was purchased from Duniway Stockroom. At $40.00 per 100 mL, this oil is quite expensive, but was one of the better prices I found on the oil from major distributors. Since my pump requires a fill of 175 mL, I needed two bottles. I found out later that there is an incredibly cheap supplier for diffusion pump oils, Enparticles Diffusion Pump Oil that sells a 473 mL bottle for $75.00! That's almost 2.5 times as much oil for $5 less! I will certainly be exploring this option for future diffusion pump oil purchases.
With the oil carefully poured into the pump through the inlet, the final assembly could begin. The o-ring groove was cleaned, and the o-ring reinstalled. The first adapter plates was mounted, and bolted on to maximum tightness to fully compress the o-ring. The next o-ring was installed on this plate in the groove, and the 8″ water cooled baffle was carefully aligned on the o-ring. With the baffle in place, the next o-ring was mounted into the baffle groove, and the final adapter plate was aligned on top. 1/4″ alignment holes where used to initially align the plates, and eight 5/8-13 bolts were used to tightly clamp the two plates together, sandwiching the sealing o-rings, and locking the baffle in place.
With the high vacuum pumping assembly and the roughing assembly complete, the final preparations for the 8020 Integrated Test Stand can begin. This includes installing the remaining 8020 table supports, and wiring all of the chiller electronics. With table reinforcements and the chiller system, the last step will be to mount the pumping stack to the table. After that, I can finally begin high vacuum testing, then from there we are literally within arms reach of the first tests of the open source intense particle beam system (EXEDA) and micro propulsion test chamber!

I'm sure that most of us had delusions of grandeur when we were kids.
Breaking the world record for the 100m sprint.
Becoming the President of the United States or the Queen of England.
And then we grew up and became realists.
Now people with delusions of grandeur are annoying.
Except that without them, doing grand things becomes less possible.
People said that JFK was crazy when he promised to send a man to the moon within a decade.
His delusion of grandeur happened.
People mocked Bill Gates when he aimed to place a computer on every desk.
He doesn't look too delusional today.
It may seem like a delusion of grandeur to one day own your own business, to run a marathon, to lose weight, to have a flourishing career or marriage, to speak in front of 1000 people at once, to have a meaningful, personal relationship with Jesus or to simply be happy.
But maybe with a dream, a goal, a consistent focus, discipline and action your delusion of grandeur can become a reality.
What's your delusion of grandeur?
Okay . . .more tough questions? ha! My delusion of grandeur is to see Jesus joy each day and to live it out and share it.
Seeing the joy that Jesus brings is no delusion. Keep living and sharing Debbie.
