Google "Machine Learning Fairness" Whistleblower Goes Public, says: "burden lifted off of my soul"
Started by Valin, August 14, 2019
A Google insider who anonymously leaked internal documents to Project Veritas made the decision to go public in an on-the-record video interview. The insider, Zachary Vorhies, decided to go public after receiving a letter from Google, and after he says Google allegedly called the police to perform a "wellness check" on him. See the documents Zach leaked to Project Veritas in June: https://youtu.be/csP4z8dR6X0
The internal Google documents are available here.
(San Francisco) A Google insider who anonymously leaked internal documents to Project Veritas made the decision to go public in an on-the-record video interview. The insider, Zachary Vorhies, decided to go public after receiving a letter from Google, and after he says Google allegedly called the police to perform a "wellness check" on him.
Along with the interview, Vorhies asked Project Veritas to publish more of the internal Google documents he had previously leaked. Said Vorhies:
In June of 2019, Project Veritas published internal Google documents revealing "algorithmic unfairness." Vorhies told Project Veritas these were documents that were widely available to full-time Google employees:
"These documents were available to every single employee within the company that was full-time. And so as a fulltime employee at the company, I just searched for some keywords and these documents started to pop up. And so once I started finding one document and started finding keywords for other documents and I would enter that in and continue this cycle until I had a treasure trove and archive of documents that clearly spelled out the system, what they're attempting to do in very clear language."
Shortly after the report including the "algorithmic unfairness" documents was published, Vorhies received a letter from Google containing several "demands." Vorhies told Project Veritas that he complied with Google's demands, which included a request for any internal Google documents he may have personally retained. Vorhies also said he sent those documents to the Department of Justice Antitrust Division.
After having been identified by an anonymous account (which Vorhies believes belongs to a Google employee,) on social media as a "leaker," Vorhies was approached by law enforcement at his residence in California. According to Vorhies, San Francisco police received a call from Google which prompted a "wellness check."
Vorhies described the incident to Project Veritas:
they got inside the gate, the police, and they started banging on my door… And so the police decided that they were going to call in additional forces. They called in the FBI, they called in the SWAT team. And they called in a bomb squad."
"[T]his is a large way in which [Google tries to] intimidate their employees that go rogue on the company…"
Partial video of the incident was provided to Project Veritas. San Francisco police confirmed to Project Veritas that they did receive a "mental health call," and responded to Vorhies' address that day.

Meanwhile over at Right Wing Watch
James O'Keefe Can't Stop Owning Himself
Jared Holt
James O'Keefe's right-wing political shop Project Veritas published a video today in which O'Keefe interviewed a "whistleblower" who alleged that Google systemically discriminated against conservatives in its search products. But O'Keefe's rollout had a glaring oversight: the Google whistleblower is an ardent conspiracy theorist, or rather—in the words of his Twitter handle—a "perpetual maniac."
Project Veritas' latest attempt at validating the unfounded right-wing narratives that allege major tech companies program their products to disfavor conservatives resulted in yet another humiliating self-own for O'Keefe, whose career has been punctuated with embarrassments. Despite its failures, the media produced by O'Keefe's shop has been cited in Congress by the likes of Sen. Ted Cruz to justify conservative agenda items.
Project Veritas and O'Keefe possess a trait that is an effective superpower in conservative media: shamelessness. But despite this, conservatives continue to cut Project Veritas checks and Republicans on Capitol Hill still wheel out the organization's shoddy work to validate their talking points.
What Others Are Saying About the New Google Insider's Revelations
The documents' authenticity is not in dispute. What to do about them is another matter
Yesterday, Project Veritas released hundreds of internal Google documents leaked by Zachary Vorhies, which included protocols for manipulating search engines and news, often with political goals.
So what have people been saying about that?
Well, some groups have discovered that they are on Google's
blacklist:
One online medium attacks the leaker:
What O'Keefe's video leaves out, though, is that his much-hyped insider is not as credible as he claims. On social media, Vorhies is an avid promoter of anti-Semitic accusations that banks, the media, and the United States government are controlled by "Zionists." He's also pushed conspiracy theories like QAnon, Pizzagate, and the discredited claim that vaccines cause autism.
Will Sommer, "James O'Keefe's Google 'Whistleblower' Loves QAnon, Accused 'Zionists' of Running the Government" at The Daily Beast
Responding for Project Veritas, James O'Keefe acknowledges his source's weaknesses but says that the real story is the substance of the official Google documents:
Not every source is a perfect angel. Good journalists know this is true. But don't take my word for it. Read James Dygert's book on investigative reporting: Job is not to determine source's motive or fret over his imperfect rep, but to check accuracy of the information provided. – James O'Keefe III
More recent news on this thread: Whistleblower says Google called police to do a "wellness check" on him. He can be seen doing a perp walk on the sidewalk in front of his house on the video; some portions transcribed here. In the documents Vorhies unearthed, Google seemed to be "intending to scope the information landscape so that they could create their own version of what was objectively true."
Is Google a cult? Or does it just act that way? Project Veritas announces that a new rebel Googler has sent nearly 1000 documents on algorithm bias to the DOJ. While we prepare a news story on Zach Vorhies' revelations, it may be worth asking why one of the world's largest companies has developed what appears to be the atmosphere of a political cult.

MIT Enterprise Forum of the Central Coast heats up with thermal imaging
Central Coast Topic
Philip Joens Author
By Philip Joens Thursday, June 18th, 2015
A thermal image of a group of entrepreneurs at the MIT Enterprise Forum on June 17 at the Cabrillo Pavilion Arts Center in Santa Barbara.
A rare packed house filled the Cabrillo Pavilion Arts Center Wednesday night for the MIT Enterprise Forum of the Central Coast.
The monthly event brings together businesses and technology experts to educate and inform entrepreneurs. Wednesday night, executives from Santa Barbra's thermal imaging sector came together to inform entrepreneurs about the possibilities in thermal imaging.
Kevin Riley, former Teledyne Scientific Imaging president, said Santa Barbara has played an important role in the development of thermal cameras that can be traced back to World War II and Howard Hughes.
"Santa Barbara is the hub of infrared technology," Riley said.
The industry is undergoing a radical change though, which presents opportunities for entrepreneurs and large companies alike. For decades, thermal imaging technology was used mostly by the military, and then slowly adopted by research centers. Producing thermal cameras was expensive and retailed for around $50,000 in the 1970s and early 1980s.
Bill Parrish, co-founder of Seek Thermal Inc., said the process of manufacturing the cameras used to involve cryogenic freezing, and that once that process was eliminated, it knocked $40,000 off the price of a camera.
Now, Parrish said, more thermal cameras are used for residential uses.
Arthur Stout, vice president of security for Flir Systems, said that the business model for thermal imaging companies is changing as companies sell more cameras to consumers.
"This is a significant time in this marketplace, as we transition from a business to government or business to business model to (a) business to consumer (model)," Stout said.
Despite the tremendous opportunities the technology holds, it can be tough to make the public aware of thermal cameras.
"One of the big challenges is awareness, Stout said.
"So, even though all of us here are in the industry or are immersed in it, there's a big population out there that still does not fully understand the benefits of this technology. We're out there through our brand efforts to change that and, hopefully, drive adoption."

Those orange antenna things aren't actually antenna. Instead, that's the caterpillar's osmeterium: a specialized scent gland that swallowtail caterpillars can spring from their heads when they sense danger. It's a pretty intimidating display. Oh yeah, I totally jumped when this guy unleashed his osmeterium.
Supposedly, the osmeterium also release some noxious odor. Makes sense, since they are scent glands. But, well, I didn't smell anything. Maybe I just didn't get my nose close enough to smell that special angry caterpillar scent.
I'm also not sure what's going on with that bubble of spittle in the last photo. The caterpillar was decidely not happy with me. So, maybe this is its second line of defense? Perhaps that stuff tastes horrible. So bad that a hungry bird would drop the caterpillar. I don't know. I'm the curious sort. But, not so curious that I'm going to taste bubbles of angry caterpillar spit. Sorry.
Do you have black swallowtail caterpillars in your garden? You might, if you have parsley, dill, carrots or other Apiaceae plants in your garden.
I actually planted a bunch of all of these plants in the patch of common property/edge of the woods/big mess of "weeds" behind our property just so I could attract/feed some of these guys.
I'll be able to see if parsley can stand up to E. Texas' high summer heat & humidity when we get back to start the garden again. I know that dill does fairly well.
Are parsley seeds difficult to start? Any tips?
Parsley seeds are very easy to start and I have a parsley plant that is now 2 years old. It lives through the winter it seems, at least the north Texas winter. I have now had three hatchings of parsley worms this spring and summer! Three generations of beautiful swallowtails.
My big concern with them is that we have a spider that is taking them out. I witnessed this and it is very upsetting. I don't care for parsley, but love the caterpillars. I go visit them several times a day just to see how big they have become. Mine appear to crawl off to become chrysalis's as I have never seen one on the plant.
I think you're right, Terri. The caterpillars do crawl off to form their chrysalis. The monarchs did the same thing last year.
You're lucky to have three generations of parsley worms! I had just one this spring, even though I still have some of last year's parsley standing in the garden. Must be a regional difference; I'm in Virginia.
I wait until the caterpillars are big and have lots of green coloring. At this point I move them to my "net laundry hamper", complete with a parsley plant and some nice branches. They soon form a chrysalis and days later emerge into the beautiful swallowtail. I love gently lifting them and then watching them fly away! 14 releases so far this summer and 5 more chrysalis!
I just had my first caterpillars this year! They had eaten so much I thought a rabbit or deer had gotten into the garden. When I looked there were about 11 of the creatures. They were so cute I decided not to disturb them but wanted to find out if they were harmful pests. I am glad they are not. Next year I am going to try and see if I can get one of them a little defensive. I want to watch them in action. Thanks for the info.
Yes, this is the first year I have seen multiple hatchlings. Last year we had one. I think they are just beautiful.
What should I do if I would rather have my dill than the worms/butterflies??
I would plant multiple dill and enjoy the herb and the catepillars!
Well, you can always remove the caterpillars from the dill or parsley plants. Or… What I do is leave some parsley in the garden to overwinter. That following spring, the parsley (a biennial) will bloom. Those are the plants I let the caterpillars have. The rest — the newly planted parsley — is for me.
Yes, you have to be careful as when they are really small they look like bird poop. I actually witnessed one crawl out of my garden and nestle himself into a gap in my fence. 2 days later he is a crysalis. Such a beautiful life-cycle.
UGH! I wish I had checked the internet first *cries*. I started growing herbs in pots and found about six of them on my parsley this morning. I snipped the parsley leaves that the little caterpillars seemed to be sleeping on and tossed them over the fence. I had a similar thought as Virginia…."my parsley, mine!". I'll know better next time and plant two pots. One for me, one for the caterpillars. I'm not sure I'll be brave enough to find out what an angry one looks like – instead I'll wait to see the beautiful results! Thanks for your wonderful website and pictures!
Where did the swallowtail caterpillars go!!!! I live on a second floor and had them on the parsley out on the balcony..there were three..non there are none..where did they go?
Hi Rose — They probably flew off as butterflies! Caterpillars grow and transform much faster than seems possible. And, often, they crawl quite far from their food plant before pupating. So, you may never find their chrysalis. I suspect this is to foil predators.
Thanks… I was a little bit upset when I discovered an out break of these "buggers" on my dill… And they are really reeking havoc on it, however, having butterflies is one of little pleasures in life so they have been granted immunity, thanks to your info… I looked at a few places to find the what this was so I appreciate the photos and info..
It's entirely up to you, Angie. You can let the caterpillars have the plant (they are pretty). Or, you can relocate the caterpillars to another plant in the carrot / parsley family. Either way, the plant should recover once the caterpillars are done eating and growing.
I planted parsley in a pot early in the summer for the sole purpose of attracting black swallowtail eggs/caterpillars. I've successfully "hatched" about 20 into butterflies by putting the caterpillars in a butterfly cage and feeding them parsley til they do their transition. We just came home from being gone two weeks; I had 4 caterpillars in various stages, happily munching on the potted parsley. I carefully moved them to the cage. HOWEVER, because my parsley hadn't been watered, it was withering so I purchased some at the grocery. I didn't think to get organic. Three of my 4 caterpillars died; the 4th doesn't seem too healthy. Should I have purchased organic parsley?? Did I inadvertently kills the new caterpillars?
Not sure, Jeannie, though that certainly seems possible. There's no telling what sort of anti-caterpillar pesticides had been used on that parsley. Better luck next time!
Thanks, Cristina. My one remaining caterpillar seems healthy and is just now getting ready to go into chrysalis (emoted that green slime on the bottom of the cage, climbs up on the side of the cage and begins going into the "coma" stage before shedding skin and becoming a chrysalis). It was the largest of the 4 that I had a week or so and the only one to survive. If it was some pesticide on the Kroger-bought parsley, it must have been old/strong enough to survive it.
what happens when they go into "coma" stage? mine latched himself onto the side of the container on aug 4 and he's turning brownish but no movement since aug 4. did he died? or is he ok? I've never had one before.
I think it takes a day or so for them to go from the "comma" stage to a formed chrysalis. I have seen some caterpillars die at that stage, so I suppose that's possible. I imagine it's a risky step in a caterpillar's life — lots of things happening at once!
I go around every day & check my plants. Imagine my surprise when I found my parsley half gone! I have had parsley for 5 years now & this is the first time I have had the black swallowtail worm on it. Now that I know what they are I will plant more parsley next spring.
Aren't parsley worms adorable? I always try to overwinter some parsley, both for the flowers and seeds, and to provide more forage for parsley worms. They'll eat just about anything in the parsley family, so you can also try planting extra dill or lovage. Enjoy!
Last year they killed my parsley 🙁 This year I just tossed them off and my parsley is still growing. What I don't get is where on earth do they come from overnight??? Anyone have an answer??? I have never seen them crawling about or get up my rock wall into the plants. It is so bizarre!!
Parsley worms are the caterpillars of black swallowtail butterflies. The female butterflies lay their eggs on your plant, but the caterpillars are quite small when they first hatch. They're easy to miss until they've gotten pretty large.
If you want to have your parsley and your parsley worms too, you can either plant a few sacrifice parsley plants or transfer the caterpillars to any other parsley-family plant (fennel, parsley, dill, carrots…).
Is it possible for these caterpillars to be found on orange trees? I have two baby orange trees that I planted in my backyard in Spring 2014. I went searching for pests this morning on one of them as I noticed a very large amount of leaves had been eaten.
I did find what looked like bird poop on several leaves, but left it alone as I thought it really was poop! Lol! This was found on the top of the leaves, not the undersides which is where I thought caterpillars hung out.
Then, on one of the branches, I found this 2 to 2 1/2 inch brownish-tanish sort of thing and touched it…as I was trying to figure out what it was. I about peed myself when one end reared back and two orange things came shooting out!
I'm sorry to say that I did remove it and extinguished it. :/ Then, I went searching on the internet for what this could be. I did find a caterpillar called Orangedog that I thought was the culprit, but there was no mention of any orange horns/antennas. Continuing my search lead me to your site and the parsleyworm.
I do have a pretty good size veggie and herb garden on the side of my house. I have both carrots and parsley, but haven't found any large worms/caterpillars anywhere in my garden.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give in helping me identify exactly what type of caterpillar I have devouring my poor little orange tree.
Parsley worms are pretty choosey about their preferred plants — they stick with parsley, dill, lovage, and other plants in the parsley / carrot family. I doubt you'd find one on an orange tree. But, parsley worms are not the only caterpillars to use frightful displays as a defense against predators. Good luck tracking down the actual ID of that caterpillar!
It's another type of swallowtail larvae, the Orange dog is the common name. I just found out myself.
No worries, Isela — If you continue to grow plants in the parsley family (carrots, parsley, fennel, parsnip, etc), you'll get more caterpillars in the coming months and years.
I did the same thing…killed 3 of them. I feel terrible as I love black Swallowtailed butterflies. I hope I have some more caterpillars and will take care of them. So very glad to read this website. Wish I had this info a few days ago. Now I can hope that she laid more eggs on my parsley and dill.
I have a green carter pillars in my garden they are poison.? Because I found a death squirrel next to them.
Nope. They definitely wouldn't kill a squirrel. Just bad tasting.
Oh gosh, this is an old question (my fault, sorry!), AND, I have no idea of the answer. I wonder if he wasn't eating because he was about to pupate? Did he suddenly disappear? Caterpillars often leave their host plant before forming their chrysalis.
Haha, I let my granddaughter and daughter investigate the tiger swallowtail caterpillar on my magnolia, told them it was safe but that it would pop out it's osmeteria if they tried to pick it up. They messed with it for a minute, making it rear up and so forth, then as I walked away I noticed the smell- then they did, then my 5 year old granddaughter said, it smells like oranges . . . and poop!
I think he may actually have been attacked by a wasp or something. I've heard before that wasps will lay their eggs in parsley worms.
I am relieved to learn about these creatures that are all over my dill plant. Can I still eat the dill from that plant if a branch is clear of worms???
I have some fennel in my central TX garden that is thriving and multiplying with zero attention. It is the only plant that overwintered from my insectary mix. Anyway, these "stinky horn caterpillars" as I call them really love the fennel. I have picked them off twice with some uncertainty as to whether I really need to save the fennel from them, and I can definitely smell their attack horn smell. It is a sickly sweet smell. I also attempted to feed one to my rooster, who pecked once and then got the heck away from it. Anyway, thank you for teaching me that this fascinating creature becomes a swallowtail butterfly!
Had a pot full of parsley caterpillars in all sizes , was watching them daily grow and eat my parsley. as the parsley got more sparse, I could really see all the different sizes. one night last week we had an awful rain storm(very heavy rain). next morning I ran outside to check plant and ALL caterpillars were gone ! I mean no trace of them not even the little black ones. Where did they go that fast and in that rain? just crazy. I checked other plants, fences etc, so strange, Ant ideas? Baffled.
Not sure, Diane. The mature caterpillars do move to other plants when they are ready to form their chrysalis. So maybe that's what happened? Hopefully the didn't wash away in the rain!
But WHICH plant would the caterpillars go to for forming the chrysalis? I have a FAT TOAD that is monitoring my parsley pot and has eaten at least three smaller caterpillars. That pot spent the night on my patio table and all is well, so far. Where can I "hide" the caterpillars? The toad even came up onto my patio!! The only other vegetation in my lawn is a crepe myrtle, small fig tree, lantana, and bouganvilla. The toads hide in the straw mulch. Any suggestions as to which plant might be better for a chrysalis to" hang out?" Nature is stressing me out! Ha Do LOVE butterflies!
Oh, sorry I missed this, Pat. And sorry to hear the wild critters are stressing you out! Those toads are good to have around (they eat slugs, for starters). Your caterpillars could have gone just about anywhere. I've had them literally crawl across my hot, full-sun, asphalt driveway. I've found then hanging on the side of my house. Several used a tomato trellis one year. Pretty much anything they can climb up and dangle from will do the trick.
I found three of these little guys in my parsley (8/1) plant then the following day (8/2) i found 1 so I took the little guy and put him on a container with fresh parsley and the other morning (8/3) he was eating up a storm and popping like a champ. So then i noticed he looked like he was wondering around his container and there were times when i would put his container outside for fresh air open slightly then bring it in at night cause it's warmer here now. So yesterday (8/4) I noticed he attached himself to the side of his container with a thread from his middle section and when I petted him his antenna came out. He was brighter in color yesterday and today looks like he has a duller look to him looks like he has brownish tinge to him and he's not moving. Is he ok? I hope he hasn't died.
He might be able to form his chrysalis. They go awfully still for a while before the transformation. I hope it all worked out ok!
I live in Eastern Pennsylvania and brought in my four parsley caterpillars last night because of the frost predicted. They are in a container with loads of parsley and two of them are moving so fast unlike just sitting on the parsley outside. They are the same size as your picture and one did give me the angry attitude. I do not want them to die. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Sorry I missed this until now, Mimi. Sounds like your caterpillars were about ready to form their chrysalises, though October sure is late for that (I've noticed that butterfly pretty much keep laying eggs all summer long, so some caterpillars inevitably mature too late). I hope they made it, but don't stress if they didn't — you're sure to have more if you plant parsley and/or its relatives again this year!
I found 28 parsley worms (some fairly plump) on my few plants, almost totally eaten. I picked them off and placed in a container to try to save the worms. I really wanted to save what parsley I had left. I don't have extra parsley plants to feed the worms, nor do I have dill or carrots. Will the worms eat anything else, like rosemary (I have plenty of)?
Goodness, I'm late with my reply here. Too late to be of help with your parsley worms, but perhaps for someone else… The answer is that they really only feed on plants in the parsley / carrot family. That's parsley, carrot, dill, parsnips, and fennel, as well as wild relatives such as Queen Anne's lace. They won't eat unrelated plants, such as rosemary.
Thanks for the detailed information! Our curly parsley caterpillar just did this to us and we were amazed! Interestingly, our smaller caterpillar didn't do it (yet). We went right to the internet to research and found you! Thanks so much for teaching us more about it!
Hi, I have about 20 parsley worms right now, ( including the chrysalis) and me and my friends were holding them. After they had been crawling on my hands and I put them back on the parsley. A little while after I had handled them, my finger bagan to tingle, almost like the sensation you get when your leg or arm falls asleep. I searched the web for what might have happened; but as far as I can tell, parsley worms don't leave barbs, toxins, or anything of the the sort. Have you experienced this; or possibly heard of it happening? If so; please let me know. Thanks!

Home > Data Migration
Let's jump in and learn:
What Is Data Migration?
Data Migration Challenges and Risks
Types of Data Migration
Planning a Data Migration
Data Migration vs. Data Conversion vs. Data Integration
Data Migration and the Cloud
Data Migration Results for the Effort
Data migration is the process of moving data between two or more systems while changing the format, storage, database, or application. The process of data migration is one of the most important considerations when planning any system implementation, consolidation, or upgrade.
Catalysts for data migration include the need for increased performance, additional and flexible storage, reliability, security, and digital transformation.
Data migration has four main categories: storage migration, application migration, and business process migration. Regardless of the type, data migration requires that data be prepared, extracted, transformed, and loaded into another system.
This process is referred to as ETL (i.e., extract, transform, load). While the transform step may not be required, data migration always includes the extraction and loading steps.
There are a number of drivers for data migration, including:
Adding data-intensive applications (e.g., database, data warehouse, data lake)
Adoption of a cloud-based data platform
Application or database migration
Data center relocation
Data consolidation after a merger or acquisition
Implementing a new application
Infrastructure maintenance
Migrating from an on-premises data center to the cloud
Moving to a new database or data warehouse
Server maintenance
Server or storage equipment replacements or upgrades
Transferring data to third-party cloud providers
Website consolidation
As with any other complex process, data migration challenges and risks must be addressed in advance to avoid errors and delays. Even a small project requires a thorough plan. Taking the following steps before undertaking a data migration project can reduce data migration challenges and risks.
Break the data migration down into smaller parts rather than undertaking a move of all data at one time
Contact key stakeholders in advance to secure buy-in, identify potential issues, and incorporate special requirements
Ensure that the team has the experience and expertise to implement and manage the data migration, and bring in external resources if not
Establish roles of those who have permission to create, approve, edit, or remove data from the source system
Have a clear understanding of what data needs to be moved and why
Prepare a plan for testing and maintenance of data after the migration
Validate and test data before undertaking the data migration
A few specific challenges that are common with data migrations are:
Business logic in the form of stored procedures and triggers are not supported by the target system
Different character sets—for instance, PC-based platforms use ASCII encoding, and mainframe systems are mostly based on EBCDIC encoding, which is incompatible with ASCII
Lack of interfaces to access the data, which is experienced with older applications
Unmatched data types (e.g., number, date, sub-records)
There are five main types of data migrations.
1. Storage Migration
Backups for disaster recovery or other purposes are moved:
To a new location
From paper to digital
From hard disk drives (HDDs) to solid-state drives (SSDs)
To a new data storage medium, such as the cloud or tape
Generally, the catalyst for these types of migration is the need for technology upgrades. In the case of storage migration, the data usually remains unchanged.
2. Database Migration
Database migration can be homogenous (i.e., upgrade to the latest database management system, or DBMS, version or a new DBMS provider), or heterogeneous (i.e., switch to a new DBMS from a different provider, such as from MySQL to PostgreSQL or from Oracle to MS SQL). Depending on the target database, the data format can vary and require a transformation step.
3. Application Migration
Application migration involves moving a software application, as associated data, from one computing environment to another (e.g., from an on-premise computing system to a cloud platform or from a public to a private cloud platform). With application migrations, the data usually requires transformation.
4. Business Process Migration
Business process migration requires the transfer of databases and applications containing a variety of data, including data related to customers, products, and operations. Data often requires transformation.
5. Cloud Migration
Cloud migration involves moving either data or an entire application and its data to the cloud. This can include data migration to a data warehouse or data lake. The move can be from an on-premise system to the cloud or from one cloud to another.
To avoid costly downtime and compatibility issues as well as corrupted, lost, and misplaced files, take time to plan your data migration. Key steps include:
Determine the Size and Scope of the Project
Define the scope of the data migration plan
Engage key stakeholders
Ensure that the team has the knowledge and skills necessary to accomplish the project, or engage outside experts
Create a realistic budget
Conduct advanced analysis of the source and target systems
Identify resources that are required during the data migration
Develop a timeline that includes flexibility to accommodate the unexpected
Determine if the data migration will interfere with normal operations
Data Analysis and Preparation
Review the format of the data in the source system and the format of data in the target system
Clean data as needed to ensure smooth data migration and remove or correct incomplete or incorrect data
Determine if the data migration project will involve data integration
Identify sensitive data and ensure that it will be protected during and after the data migration
Assess whether the migration plans involve decommissioning an application or platform
Remove any data that is no longer needed
Back up all data
Define Architecture and Design Requirements
Analyze business requirements and dependencies
Specify what data will be moved
Identify the tools and resources needed
Establish security standards and data quality controls
Define the method for transitioning quality controls to the new system
Determine whether there will be a parallel run or a zero-downtime migration
Develop and test different migration scenarios
Specify the testing process
Codify a formal data migration plan
Execute the Data Migration Plan
Confirm that there are no connectivity problems with source and target systems
Ensure the right system permissions are applied
Transform data into the proper format for transfer
Extract all data that is migrating from the source system to the target
Load data into the target system
Monitor data migration during the process to identify and resolve issues quickly
Migration Follow-Up and Validation
Review the audit trails and logs to ensure that required data was transferred, if there are correct values in the destination tables, and if there was any data loss
Test final system
Decommission old systems
Follow-up and Maintenance of Data Migration Plan
Monitor the data quality of the new system
Manage ongoing improvements
Schedule regular maintenance
A number of processes are associated with data migration. Several of these are part of the actual data migration process, and others are adjacent processes. However, all are interrelated and impact data migration, including:
Data profiling
Data quality assurance process
Data Migration vs. Data Conversion
The terms data conversion and data migration are often confusing and used interchangeably. However, there are distinct differences between the two and their roles in overall data management strategies.
When considering a data migration project, if the original and new systems have identical fields, the migration merges the two systems' data. However, this is rarely the case.
Data conversion is usually required as a precursor to data migration.
Before the frequently complicated data migration efforts of transferring data between silos, formats, or systems can occur, data conversion is necessary to prepare the data for a smooth transition.
The data conversion process converts data from one format to another for accessibility and interoperability and ensures uniformity between the datasets. The data conversion process includes extracting data from the source, transforming it, and loading it into the new system.
The transformation is the critical part of this. Not only does data have to be in a common format, but fields must also match. For instance, if the source system uses four fields to store an address, but the new system only has three, data conversion is required to reorganize the source data into three fields.
Data Migration vs. Data Integration
While data migration and data integration are related, they are two fundamentally different processes. The similarities between data migration and data integration end with data transfers.
At the highest level, a key difference between data migration and data integration is that data migration is a one-time effort when implementing a new application, whereas data integration is an ongoing process of data transference between applications and systems in real-time or near real-time.
Unlike data migration, which handles internal information, data integration uses technical and business processes to combine disparate data from different internal and external sources to create a unified dataset for analysis. To do this, data integration enables connectivity between different systems and ensures access to the content necessary for accurate analysis.
Data migration and the cloud are often coupled with a move of data, workloads, IT resources, and applications from an on-premise environment to a cloud infrastructure, or from one cloud to another.
Data migration to the cloud often involves consolidating on-premises data warehouses in the cloud or building new cloud data warehouses and / or data lakes. To ensure data integrity, it is important to take time to prepare.
Taking time to undergo a data migration to the cloud is well worth the effort. Among the many benefits of cloud data migration are:
Ability to ingest more types and larger amounts of data in less time
Accelerated time to value
Easier data backup
Flexible, sustainable, and agile data foundation
Modernized infrastructure
Reduced IT costs
Scalability to address changing requirements
Streamlined data analytics with cloud processing power
Unified infrastructure
There are a number of reasons why data migration projects are undertaken. Many organizations choose data migration as existing platforms and legacy applications age.
The catalysts are often a need for increased performance, more and flexible storage, reliability, and security. A desire for an overall digital transformation is also a reason that organizations undertake data migrations.
Regardless of the motivation for it, data migration provides tangible benefits, including:
Decreased service disruptions
Improved ability to scale resources
Increased productivity and efficiency
Reduced storage costs
Upgraded applications and services

I love paradigm shift moments in fiction, where someone with a firm mindset - whether religious or nonreligious - encounters something that forcibly changes that mindset. I think it's wonderful in movies and TV, but underutilized in games.
Really, lots of roleplaying games, especially in the beginning, will have a world-turns-upside-down moment that initiates the adventure, and it really should be handled this way, as should any death-and-resurrection moment. Characters that go through something life-changing should have their lives changed, and should approach such life changes with the appropriate gravity and thoughtfulness (or, failing that, denial and alcoholism, which is considerably more fun to play).
Of course, Hinduism isn't a single cohesive rulebook (any more than any other religion is). As one might expect from the culture that developed the Kama Sutra, its sexual ethics are a little more comprehensive (and more practical, and more realistic, and more pleasure-focused) than a single sterile "Thou Shalt Not".
GU: Actually, I agree with Ellen.
GU: Yeah. I mean, I admit, I don't know much about Hinduism, but I'm reasonably certain that their religion doesn't include an audible Beat that pervades the fabric of the universe and gives people super powers.
GU: Our characters have all, in the past thirty-six hours, had an unprecedented series of experiences that are unquestionably supernatural in origin, yet correspond to no known spiritual tradition. Regardless of our pre-existing religion, or lack thereof, we should all be in the midst of questioning and reinterpreting our beliefs in light of this new experience.
GU: I can't speak for anyone else, but Jackie is planning on spending at least a few of our hours in her cabin praying and sorting out in her mind what the implications of our adventures are, in terms of her belief in and relationship with God.
MH: That's actually an excellent point, Gina. Good roleplaying.
MH: You don't get any Mayhem points for it, though.
GU: Nope. No, we're good. Thank you, but no.

Q: Summing columns in Dataframe that have matching column headers I have a dataframe that currently looks somewhat like this.
import pandas as pd
In [161]: pd.DataFrame(np.c_[s,t],columns = ["M1","M2","M1","M2"])
Out[161]:
            M1    M2    M1    M2
      6/7    1     2     3     5
      6/8    2     4     7     8
      6/9    3     6     9     9
      6/10   4     8     8    10
      6/11   5    10    20    40

Except, instead of just four columns, there are approximately 1000 columns, from M1 till ~M340 (there are multiple columns with the same headers). I wanted to sum the values associated with matching columns based on their index. Ideally, the result dataframe would look like:
            M1_sum   M2_sum
      6/7     4        7
      6/8     9        12
      6/9    12        15
      6/10   12        18
      6/11   25        50

I wanted to somehow apply the "groupby" and "sum" function, but was unsure how to do that when dealing with a dataframe that has multiple columns and has some columns with 3 other columns matching whereas another may only have one other column matching (or even 0 other columns matching).

A: You probably want to groupby the first level, and over the second axis, and then perform a .sum(), like:
>>> df.groupby(level=0,axis=1).sum().add_suffix('_sum')
   M1_sum  M2_sum
0       4       7
1       9      12
2      12      15
3      12      18
4      25      50

If we rename the last column to M1 instead, it will again group this correctly:
>>> df
   M1  M2  M1  M1
0   1   2   3   5
1   2   4   7   8
2   3   6   9   9
3   4   8   8  10
4   5  10  20  40
>>> df.groupby(level=0,axis=1).sum().add_suffix('_sum')
   M1_sum  M2_sum
0       9       2
1      17       4
2      21       6
3      22       8
4      65      10

I'm a huge Ripleys believe it or not fan. I watch this tv shows for a decade and it does fascinate me what crazy world we live in. Ripleys is like the badass version of the Guinness book of world records. First time we visit Ripleys was in Clifton Hill Canada. Some of their exhibits are decent and pretty cool. My favorite is the spinning tunnel and the torture chamber. You will need to go through the "Black Hole" tunnel to get to the next room. As you walk through this spinning dark tunnel your mind is tricked into thinking you are falling sideways and have to grab the handrails for support. Had to do that a few times as it was funny! There is also a Laser exhibit where you get to go in and act like Mission Impossible and not get hit by the laser beams i think it was so cool.
Also there are some weird things to see and interesting facts to read. Its an easy good time worth checking out if you're in the area :) I am surprise to see this Museum once again, but this time along Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Now this tourist spot of Gatlinburg offers more than a ripleys exhibit. They have 3D moving theater , Haunted Adventure and Ripley's Aquarium. If you can get a discount coupon somewhere, I suggest using it.
Maria Jose Cristerna - tattoo artist and the world's most unusual woman. Left photo is her wax sculpture.
Me too bunso i like the robot wish i could take it home he he!
oh! I love Ripley's Believe it or Not. I visited the one in the Philippines. I would to visit it again, this time with my babies.
I've seen this show a couple of times already and I didn't know they actually have a museum! I wanted to go!
Never been to one but the tattoo artist wax creeps me out!
It just shows how creative can man be. I believe these are all creations of men while many of us are out there shopping or blogging and while others are down in misery.
Ripley's has the weirdest art pieces and I guess you have to believe it or not!
these are absolutely cool photos. been to a Ripley;s museum once and indeed it was fun and cool.
a nice plae to visit, for sure my son would love the 10 ft uptimus trime robot..
Holy Moly Guacamole! Oh dear, that lady to be honest sure creeps me out. Oh dear! What an interesting place to visit. There is one Ripley's Believe It Or Not place in Branson, but we didn't make it to explore inside. It would have been wonderful!
Oh wow amazing make up skills! It kinda scared me LOL!
It's a great place for a getaway with the family.
I have never been to a Ripley's Believe it or Not museum--but I would really like to go to one-unfortunately none near me that I know of!!!
That is so cool. I am not that far from Gatlinburg!
What a fun place to visit! My son used to love the Ripley's show he even has a book about it.
They have a new app for your phone that works with some of the exhibits. Did you get to try it out?
We have been talking about going on a family vacation to Gatlinburg because my husband and I had a great time there several years ago. We will have to add Ripley's to our itinerary.
i just love Ripley's believe it or not. so many fascinating things!!!
those are fascinating exhibits, indeed, "believe it or not" sights. I love watching ripleys too, I am amused always as to find out there is such thing.
I'd love to see and explore this place!
Cool. I'd like to go there and see these fantastic attractions.

Justin Trudeau Wore Brownface at 2001 'Arabian Nights' Party While He Taught at a Private School
Justin Trudeau, now the prime minister of Canada, appears in dark makeup on his face, neck and hands at a 2001 "Arabian Nights"-themed party at the West Point Grey Academy, the private school where he taught.
By Anna Purna Kambhampaty , Madeleine Carlisle and Melissa Chan
Updated: September 19, 2019 1:12 PM ET | Originally published: September 18, 2019
Justin Trudeau, Canada's prime minister, wore brownface makeup to a party at the private school where he was teaching in the spring of 2001. TIME has obtained a photograph of the incident.
The photograph has not been previously reported. The picture was taken at an "Arabian Nights"-themed gala. It shows Trudeau, then the 29-year-old son of the late former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, wearing a turban and robes with his face, neck and hands completely darkened. The photograph appears in the 2000-2001 yearbook of West Point Grey Academy, a private day school where Trudeau was a teacher.
Earlier this month, TIME obtained a copy of the yearbook, The View, with the photograph of Trudeau in brownface from Vancouver businessman Michael Adamson, who was part of the West Point Grey Academy community. Adamson was not at the party, which was attended by school faculty, administrators and parents of students. He said that he first saw the photograph in July and felt it should be made public.
The yearbook from the 2000/2001 school year at West Point Grey Academy shows several people, some of whom are still on staff at the school, dressed up for the gala—however only Trudeau appears to have darkened his skin.
Justin Trudeau also admitted to wearing blackface makeup to sing the Jamaican folk song "Day O" in high school for a talent show. TIME has confirmed this photo shows the Canadian prime minister.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday night, following TIME's publication of the photo, Trudeau apologized: "I shouldn't have done that. I should have known better and I didn't. I'm really sorry." When asked if he thought the photograph was racist, he said, "Yes it was. I didn't consider it racist at the time, but now we know better."

Trudeau said he wore blackface "makeup" in high school to sing "Day-O," a Jamaican folk song famously performed by African-American singer and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte. TIME has confirmed that a photo shows Trudeau at a school talent show wearing blackface and an afro wig.
On Wednesday, Zita Astravas, the media relations lead of the Liberal Party of Canada, which Trudeau is the leader of, confirmed that the prime minister was in the photo. "It was a photo taken while he was teaching in Vancouver, at the school's annual dinner which had a costume theme of 'Arabian Nights.' He attended with friends and colleagues dressed as a character from Aladdin," said Astravas. Trudeau is planning on addressing the photograph to the media later this evening, according to the Astravas. The prime minister's official director of communications did not return multiple calls.
A third instance emerged Thursday—this one a grainy video showing Trudeau in blackface, raising his hands in the air. On Thursday, Astravas confirmed that the video showed Trudeau from the early 1990s. It comes despite Trudeau being asked at his press conference whether there were any other incidents he wanted to own up to.
This is a critical moment for Trudeau, who began his re-election campaign on Sept. 11 under the cloud of a scandal over whether he pressured his then-attorney general to drop corruption charges against a large Canadian engineering firm. The Liberal Party leader has championed minority groups during his nearly four years as prime minister and made his embrace of Canada's many cultures a major part of his leadership. At least seven of the 35 members of Trudeau's cabinet are from ethnic minorities.
Trudeau has previously garnered regular media attention in the Canadian and global press for his choice of attire. In 2018, he was mocked for the elaborate Indian garb that he, his wife and their three children wore during a visit to India.
Trudeau was also criticized by artist Robert Davidson, who is a member of the Haida indigenous people, because of a tattoo on his left arm that is based on the artist's work. Davidson said in 2016 that the Trudeau government's approval of a natural gas facility opposed by the Haida showed the prime minister was not genuinely sensitive to concerns of Canada's indigenous population.
TIME reached out to multiple people who attended West Point Grey's spring gala in 2001, including three of the four women in the photo with Trudeau. Most were reluctant to talk about it. One former staff member declined to comment, citing loyalty to Trudeau. Others said they did not remember Trudeau at the party. Two people contacted by TIME acknowledged the existence of the picture, which has been the subject of gossip within the West Point Grey community.
Trudeau was not the only person in costume at the 2001 gala event. Of the individuals in six photographs from the event published in the yearbook, Trudeau appears to be the only one who darkened his skin. Many who dressed up for the "Arabian Nights" gala are still at the school, including current headmaster Stephen Anthony, who is pictured wearing what appears to be a crown.

The yearbook shows Trudeau among the staff at West Point Grey, a private day school. He downplayed his experience there during his campaign in 2015.
Anthony did not respond to multiple requests for comment about the photo and the event.

Trudeau taught classes, including French, until he left after the spring of 2001. West Point Grey Academy is currently among the most expensive private day schools in Vancouver, with annual tuition ranging from just under $22,000 to about $23,500. During his 2015 election campaign, Trudeau downplayed his experience at the private academy, instead focusing on his time teaching at a public school in Vancouver.
Trudeau is far from the only public figure who darkened his skin in the past for a costume.
The United States has a long and painful history of white performers darkening their faces to demean and dehumanize African-Americans—a practice made popular by minstrel shows in the 19th century. Blackface continued into the 20th century in Broadway shows and Hollywood movies.
In February, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam first apologized for, and then denied he was in a 1984 medical school yearbook photo that surfaced earlier this year showing a man in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan hood. Despite criticism, Northam declined to step aside. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey also apologized this year after a radio interview from the 1960s surfaced in which she was described as wearing blackface.

The American people are demanding an end to gun violence. This means electing representatives ready and willing to stand up for lifesaving gun laws.
Gun Safety President
NEW POLL: Giffords & Latino Victory Project Find Latinx Voters in Texas Strongly Support Gun Safety Laws and Want Candidates to Make the Issue a Priority
A year after El Paso shooting, new survey shows that President Trump and his Republican Senate's total refusal to pass measures like universal background checks could hurt their standing with Texas Latinx voters
August 5, 2020 — New polling from Giffords and Latino Victory Project finds Texas Latinx voters not only are broadly supportive of stronger gun laws, they also want candidates who will make gun safety a priority. One year after the shooting in El Paso, Texas, the survey makes clear that Latinx voters want more to be done, with nearly 3 out of 4 Latinos in Texas believing gun laws should be stronger than they are now.
While a supermajority views support of gun safety as a requirement for a candidate vying for their support, many are not sure where President Trump and Senator John Cornyn stand on measures like universal background checks. Reminding Latinx voters in Texas that Trump and his Senate allies refused to pass any gun safety measures, particularly after El Paso, could impact who they vote for this year.
Click here to read the polling memo.
"Texas Latinx voters are gun safety voters," Giffords Executive Director Peter Ambler said. "Gun safety now ranks as a top issue because the Latinx community in Texas views the lethal combination of easy access to guns and racist hate as a direct threat to their safety. To win in Texas, candidates need to be leaders who are committed to stopping individuals motivated by hate from obtaining firearms. They need to be champions for policies like universal background checks, which will help us create a safer America for everyone. Motivated by the tragedy in El Paso, fed up with day-to-day gun violence, and ready for a new direction, Latinx voters are poised to decide the swing state of Texas and know where they stand on the issue of gun violence."
"Latino voters want to live in a community without fear of gun violence and hatred fueled by anti-Latino rhetoric. Our lives are not negotiable," said Mayra Macías, Latino Victory Project executive director. "Latinos will determine races across Texas, and they're ready to hold their representatives accountable at the ballot box. While candidates like Congresswoman Veronica Escobar and State Rep. Cesar Blanco advocate for gun safety measures, there are plenty of Republicans like U.S. Sen. John Cornyn and President Donald Trump who are beholden by the NRA and other pro-gun lobbyists and refuse to listen to the majority of Americans. Things have changed in Texas, and Latino voters will reflect this change by voting for candidates who will advocate for gun control measures like universal background checks and condemn anti-Latino rhetoric."
The poll of Texas Latinx voters found overwhelming support for commonsense gun violence prevention solutions like universal background checks. According to the poll, 86% of registered Latinx voters in Texas support universal background checks and 85% support extreme risk protection orders, laws that allow the temporary removal of firearms from those deemed a danger to themselves or those around them.
Latinx voters believe that a combination of easy access to guns and racism were the biggest contributing factors in the El Paso shooting. Following the shooting at the Walmart in El Paso, Texas, 73% of Latinx voters believe that the shooter's own words were inspired by racist rhetoric from President Trump. Over half of Latinx voters assigned the most weight and responsibility to:
Easy access to assault and military-style weapons (65%).
Lax laws that make it easy for dangerous people to buy guns (63%).
Trump's anti-immigrant and anti-Latinx rhetoric (62%).
Rise in white supremacy and nationalism (60%).
Last year, Giffords and Latino Victory Project launched ¡YA BASTA! Latinos Rise Against Gun Violence and Hate—a tour with stops in El Paso, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio—to raise awareness in the Latinx community about the growing threats of gun violence and the white supremacist-based anti-Latinx movement. The tour included appearances by Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Congresswoman Veronica Escobar, Giffords Executive Director Peter Ambler, Latino Victory Project Executive Director Mayra Macías,Texas State Representative Cesar J. Blanco, and Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Executive Vice President of Field and Member Services Vanessa Gonzalez.

We're getting closer to football game season and today Konami has revealed the release date for PES 2017.
This next installment will be released on 13 September in the Americas and 15 September in Europe and Asia giving the game a couple of weeks headstart in its rival FIFA 17.
This year's offering will once again be powered by the Fox Engine and is founded around the 'Control Reality' ethos. Among the advancements are improvements to the passing and first touch elements of the game as well as big enhancements to goalkeeping. New advanced instructions and total team control have also been added, all of which could have big ramifications for the upcoming PES League season.
Last year's offering on the PC was slightly disappointing so hopefully this year the PC version will be up to scratch.

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. Photo by Gulbenk, Wikipedia Commons.
Ever since the early days of Donald Trump's campaign, his immigration policy has been centered around spending big bucks on immigration enforcement. From his famous border wall to stepped-up federal deportation operations, few would describe Trump's policies as laissez-faire, and most involve increasing the size and scope of government.
But, there are other ways of addressing concerns around immigration, however, and they don't all require spending taxpayer money.
One of the oddest and most counter-productive positions often taken by anti-immigration activists is opposition to free trade.
What these economic nationalists fail to realize is that free trade, which increases prosperity for all countries involved, helps to reduce the incentive for migration in the first place.
The economic benefits of free trade are apparent. Countries that liberalize their trade grow richer — and countries that restrict their trade impoverish their citizens.
But there are sociological benefits to free trade as well. By engaging in trade, persons and communities can gain access to the capital, products, and services offered by others in other nations. In the context of US-Mexico relations, for example, this means that Mexican workers and consumers can benefit from Americans capital and entrepreneurial know-how without having to uproot their lives, move far away from family, and learn a new culture.
In the context of foreign relations, free-trade advocates have long noted that if "goods don't cross borders, armies will." This is all the more true in the context of migration: "if goods and services don't cross borders, migrants will." And a wall won't be enough to stop it.
Unfortunately, many opponents of immigration don't understand how trade works, and think it's a zero-sum game in which one side gains at the expense of the other. Even worse, when opponents of immigration and trade succeed in their efforts to punish and prohibit trade, they succeed only in impoverishing all parties involved, while also creating the impetus for even greater flows of migration in the future.
Given that a sizable portion of taxpayer-funded benefits come in the form of non-cash benefits in the United States, this is a significant change. It's also important to note that this is for legal immigrants, and not for illegal immigrants who are already technically barred from receiving most benefits.
For legal immigrants collecting both cash and non-cash benefits, the proposed changes means welfare recipients will have a harder time maintaining legal residency in the US.
Advocates for more immigration often point out that the proportion of immigrants that receive government benefits is not higher than the native-born population. That's fair enough, but why subsidize immigrants at all?
The Trump policy could be improved, though, by providing a way for immigrants to simply opt out of all government welfare programs. Moreover, any potential migrant who does agree to renounce all government benefits should be fast tracked to legal residency. Similarly, private families, firms, and non-profits groups need the flexibility to "sponsor" immigrants, and to guarantee that the immigrants in question will not collect government benefits.
One problematic aspect of the immigration debate is that it is often assumed that legal residents must also become citizens quickly.
This is a bad assumption, and it does not follow that, just because a person lives in a country, that he or she must also be granted citizenship in that country. After all, citizenship is not a "right" in the way private property is, but is a type of administrative status that allows a person to more greatly influence the political system. Citizens, of course, can legally vote.
Lessening this connection between residency and citizenship would also lessen political pressure to use the power of the state to further curtail migration of workers. After all, much of the fear behind mass-migration situations — both in the US and elsewhere — stems from the fact that native-born residents realize it is exceptionally easy in many cases for new residents of the obtain citizenship — and thus voting rights. For most legal immigrants in the US, for example, five years of residency is all that is required. In some cases, such as for immigrants married to citizens, only three years of residency is required.
Rather than seeking to expand citizenship, states ought to look to expand private property rights for migrants so that citizenship becomes largely irrelevant. Besides, a migrant who is secure in his employment and possessions has much less motivation to participate in the political process. As Ludwig von Mises noted in his own commentary on immigration, the more laissez-faire a political system is, the less relevant politics becomes to our daily lives.
When it comes to enforcing immigration laws and regulations, the US government acts with all the precision and competence it does in veterans' health care and mail delivery.
In what Lew Rockwell has called "the tragedy of immigration enforcement" federal immigration regulation often takes the form of federal agents raiding private businesses, seizing private property, and regulating private contracts between employers and employers. Agents also threaten entrepreneurs with draconian fines and jail terms.
If mainstream employers are afraid of lifetime jail terms, they will not hire. And that leaves only marginal employers to pick up the slack. These include drug operations, fly-by-night underground businesses, gray markets, prostitution rings, and other things from the seedier side of life.
Or the result could be no employment at all, which means turning to crime itself. In other words, these efforts attempt to stop the best part of immigration and enhance the worst. For this we can thank the government.
Moreover, the immigration quotas set by federal policymakers are purely arbitrary numbers pulled out of the air. Federal planners have no idea what the correct number of immigrants is, or what kind of immigrants are best suited for the work force. Only private employers and entrepreneurs can know this.
Even worse are current efforts to implement "E-Verify" as an anti-immigration measure. As a sort of governmental "permission to live" database, E-Verify can be used to deny private-sector employment and housing to persons who don't receive the proper government "OK" for private contracts and transactions. Needless to say, the potential for abuse is alarming.
Increasing Federal power to centrally plan the activities of workers, employers, and others will bring with them all the downsides we've come to expect from government regulation.
Ultimately, a good question to ask ourselves is whether or not a proposed immigration-related policy increases the power of the state, or shrinks it.
All too often, the assumed "answers" lie in more government spending, more government agents, more laws, more rules, and more regulation. In fact, there are numerous options that can be implemented in the process of lessening the power of the state. And that is a good thing in itself.


Surrounding the Mandir is an award-winning complementary garden. Its sculpted flowerbeds come alive in all their glorious colours during the spring and summer, while the lush clipped lawns, evergreen yews, and ornate patterns of topiary (shaped hedging) can be enjoyed all year round.
In a sense, the garden is a melding of two cultures, with ancient Hindu motifs presented in neo-classical English horticulture, making the garden a natural confluence between the traditional Hindu Mandir and its suburban London locale.
The garden takes the form of two distinct styles.
To the front and either side of the Mandir lies a parterre (ornamental flower garden) featuring five lotus-shaped beds framed in light green boxes (hedge-like shrubs) and filled with a variety of colourful tulips and roses.
Floral designs gracing the stone work and woodwork inside are emulated in the garden with real flowers. It offers a delightful introduction to the Mandir itself.
Also surrounding the Mandir is a small moat featuring foam jets incessantly splashing into the granite pools.
Towards the back of the Mandir lies what is termed a formal garden.
It creates three interconnecting star-shaped walkways of various sizes, representing the sun (largest), the earth (medium), and the moon (smallest). Together they symbolise the intimate connection we share with nature and the universe around us.
At the centre of the sun-star lies an ornamental lotus pond with a small fountain, while beeches, pink Begonias, and cheerful purple azaleas surround the other areas.
The garden was awarded first prize among business and public premises in the local council's 'Brent in Bloom' competition in 2012, 2010 and 2009. The Mandir's garden also received a Certificate of Excellence from the 2009 'London in Bloom' campaign.


On the same day Konami released the very impressive Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 video game to the mainstream audience, their biggest competitor, EA Sports, reminded everyone that in one week's time the new FIFA 16 title hits the shelves as well. They did this with a pretty sweet, star studded, commercial featuring Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, Alex Morgan, Kobe Bryant, an opera singer and Pele.
The video is called 'Play Beautiful'.
The release of FIFA 16 makes the new football season that much more official.


The Sega Genesis/Mega Drive was a huge hit around the world in the late '80s and into the '90s. The Sonic the Hedgehog series propelled the console to heights no one could have imagined, and its lineup of incredible first-party games left a lasting impact on players for years to come. The console was one of the first to gain a partial digital archive on Steam, and now that archive has been taken several steps further with the Mega Drive/Genesis Hub area that brings a slew of Genesis classics to players in a new way.
Beyond getting a '90s bedroom-style overlay for the games, you can also now use Steam Workshop to play revamped versions of games. If you want to enjoy Sonic 1 with Knuckles, which couldn't happen even with lock-on technology, you can. Other regions' versions of games can be played using legal ROM too, thanks to ROM hacks that can also be applied to carts on the Retron 5. If you have ever wanted to play Sonic the Hedgehog 3 as it was originally envisioned, with all of Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles playable in one go, you can do so now as well. Given how much good can be done with ROM hacks, and how this setup enables publishers to make some money with them – this is a fantastic start to the concept and those looking to enjoy it can get every Genesis game pack on Steam for $2.55 each through May 1.


The Deadmines is a dungeon whose entrance is located in Westfall on the continent of Eastern Kingdoms in the World of Warcraft game. The minimum level for this dungeon is 85+. The main anagonist race in this dungeon are Human. The instance was released in the Cataclysm expansion. The dungeon contains 6 bosses. The end boss of The Deadmines is Vanessa Van Cleef.
The Deadmines are the home of the Defias, a criminal organisation that can be found predominately in the Elwynn Forest and Westfall. In the original version of the game, you had to go up against Edwin van Cleef but after the Cataclysm expansion came out, the original dungeon was updated and you then fought Vanessa Van Cleef, the daughter of the end boss. The location of the entrance to the Deadmines is (42, 71) , Westfall on the continent of Eastern Kingdoms.
The dungeon has one of the weirdest bosses in which the boss, Captain Cookie will literally cook himself in a large cauldron. The entrance to the dungeon is at the end of a winding cave which is filled by enemy miners and monkeys.
For those who have a love of eighties films will spot a similarity between this dungeon and the film 'The Goonies'. The film has a group of children setting off on an adventure for find lost treasure. What they find is a galleon inside a cave much like here.
The first phase of this battle is simple, just tank and spank. However, when phase 2 starts, Glubtok will run to the centre of the room and start casting. Glubtok will cause a wave of energy to go round the room which you need to avoid otherwise you end up taking massive damage and probably die. He will summon which you need to kite and kill at the same time as killing the boss.
Gently dps Glubtok's health down until he goes into the centre of the room. He will cause a line of fire to come from him to the outer wall, so long as you don't get hit by the line of fire, you will get this achievement. Just run round the room avoiding the flames and stuff.
There are actually two bosses here, Helix and a lumbering Oaf that Helix controls. You need to be careful of this boss as he will throw all sorts of bombs and such at you. Occasionally the Oaf will pick up a player and run down the route down the middle, smashing into the wall at the end. This will cause damage to the player but no AOE. The second phase will see the Oaf die and the players taking on Helix. Helix will jump on a player and has to be coaxed off by beating up the Goblin.
Once all the Reapers have been killed in the room, the Foe 5000 will come to life. The tank needs to kite the Foe to the top, just where the players came into the room. One player, a dps needs to jump into a Harvester and prevent the steam monsters from reaching the others. The player in the mechanoid needs to push back the steam and hit it when he can. The player must not let the steam get past him, the Steam will not attack the nearest player so you need to keep him down.
The fight will start normally but then Ripsnarl will stealth and shadowy adds will appear. The shadowy adds need to be kitted and killed before Ripsnarl will appear. Ripsnarl will disappear and return a couple of times.
The Murloc is one of the weirdest bosses that you will encounter in the game. When the fight begins, he will run out and jump into a cauldron. The Cauldron is literally cooking Captain Cookie but the Murloc doesn't seem to care. Cookie will throw food out of the cauldron which you need to be careful because some of the food gives good buffs and others bad ones.
After a group of mercaneries killed Edwin van Cleef, the creator and leader of the Defias, Van Cleef's daughter took over. Vanessa recruited various characters from Westfall and holed up inside the Deadmines. She can only be encountered in the Heroic 85+ dungeon. On encountering Vanessa, she sends you to different parts of the deadmines where you encounter previous bosses nightmares. When you make it back to the ship, she is waiting there to kill you. After every phase, Vanessa will jump away and cause the ship to explode, to survive, you need to use the ropes to swing off the ship and back again.
This is a race against time to get back to Vanessa in under five minutes. When you first encounter Vanessa, she will put you in a daze and send back to the early boss encounter locations. You need to get back to the ship where you then need to kill her. To get the achievement, you don't actually need to kill her, you just need to damage her. When you wake up from the daze, you are held over a molten iron pot, you need to click the valve to escape and begin the journey back. The first nightmare encounter is Helix Gearbreaker whose having a nightmare with spiders. Simply attack Helix and move onto the next boss. In the next room, you will need to meander through some lightning balls and kill the Foe Reaper for all its worth. The next one is to speed back to the ship killing the Worgens along the way to rescue Admiral Ripsnarl's wife. Once you rescue her and hit Vanessa, you succeed.


New $60m loan approved for quake-devastated nation.
"The purpose of the Fund programme is not to provide resources for the reconstruction, because we're not the best institution for that," she said, noting that donor countries and institutions such as the World Bank were able to provide grant handouts, which would not add to Haiti's debts.
Delechat said the IMF programme did not restrict aid spending.
"All the spending that can be financed by donor money is allowed under the programme ... the idea is to facilitate the absorption of the aid," she said.
The IMF said Haiti's recovery after the quake was still fragile and that the biggest contributor to economic growth would come from reconstruction efforts.
It forecast that the economy would expand by around 9 per cent in fiscal year 2011-12, slowing to 6 per cent by 2015 as rebuilding tapers off.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the IMF managing director, urged donors to make good on their aid promises to Haiti, so that reconstruction can be accelerated and social tensions soothed.
Donors pledged $9.9bn to Haiti's reconstruction at a conference in March, of which $5.3bn is to be disbursed over the next 18 months.
Bill Clinton, the former US president who co-chairs the Haiti reconstruction commission, has complained that donor funding is flowing too slowly and holding up the rebuilding process.
Delechat said the IMF hoped that the approval of the programme would be a sign of confidence in the government's policies and encourage donors to pay up.
However, Al Jazeera's Sebastian Walker, reporting from Port-au-Prince, said the IMF decision is not likely to register on the priorities of those still living in displacement camps six months after the earthquake.
"That's not to downplay the size of this debt forgiveness. It certainly is a substantial sum," he said.
"But while they are forgiving that debt, they are issuing another $60m of loans.
"That loan will be interest-free until 2011, but by the end of next year, Haiti will then start repaying interest on new loans, which some might say is only perpetuating the cycle of debt that this country has struggled to get out from.
"So while it does seem like good news, there are other concerns that can be gleaned from reading between the lines."
Riding on deep frustrations over the slow pace of reconstruction, opponents of Haiti's president, Rene Preval, have called for a general strike on Thursday to press for a postponement of elections planned for November 28.
They hope to halt traffic and shut down businesses in the capital to press their demand that a new electoral council be formed before the election. Current councillors, they say, are corrupt.

Meghan gave birth in London hospital – certificate
The birth certificate confirms the place of birth, in the early hours of May 6, as the Portland Hospital in central London

ROYAL BIRTH. Britain's Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex (R), and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, pose for a photo with their newborn baby son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, in St George's Hall at Windsor Castle in Windsor, west of London on May 8, 2019. File photo by Dominic Lipinski/Pool/AFP
LONDON, United Kingdom – Prince Harry's wife Meghan gave birth at a private hospital in London earlier this month, their son's birth certificate revealed, according to British media on Friday, May 17.
The arrival of the couple's first child Archie was shrouded in secrecy, with newspaper reports indicating the 37-year-old former US actress had wanted a home birth at their residence in Windsor, west of London.
However, the certificate confirmed the place of birth, in the early hours of May 6, as the Portland Hospital in central London, the Press Association news agency said.
The document listed the baby's full name as Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. It also detailed Meghan's occupation as "Princess of the United Kingdom".
The Portland facility claims to be the only private hospital in Britain dedicated to the healthcare of women and children, offering "world-class" maternity care.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex broke with recent royal tradition in the choice.
Harry's brother Prince William and his wife Kate had all 3 of their children delivered at St Mary's Hospital in London, where the princes themselves were born.
Meghan also bucked modern precedent by keeping events around the birth and her recovery largely private.
Buckingham Palace announced the arrival of the seventh in line to the throne – an eighth great-grandchild for Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip – some 9 hours after the event.
Although Harry made a brief solo appearance before television cameras to share his joy, it was two days before he and Meghan showed off their son to the world.
This also contrasted with William and Kate, who on each occasion appeared before the cameras hours after the arrival of their newborn. – Rappler.com

ROCHESTER – A state legislator is apologizing after he yanked a microphone from the hand of his Democratic challenger during a forum that was livestreamed over the internet.
Jamie Mahlberg appeared startled when Rep. Duane Quam, R-Byron, grabbed the microphone from her on Monday night. Quam then rebutted a point Mahlberg had made about education funding.
When Quam offered the microphone back, Mahlberg did not take it. Quam then dropped it in front of her.
Housing-market reports give mixed messages.
Sanctions on Iran could squeeze other sources.


Yesterday, the Nathan's Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest—the sporting event so all-American, it's debatable whether it even counts as a sport—was held in Coney Island for at least the 45th time. (Reps from the company claim a quasi-mystical origin date of 1916, but the first recorded contest was held in 1972.) And for the 10th time, America's own Joey Chestnut defended his title as the man who could stuff more meat tubes down his gullet than any other man, beating his own personal record with 72 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, the Associated Press reports, and gaining 15 pounds of hot dog weight and eight pounds of water weight, according to TMZ. America dominated the women's competition as well, with Las Vegas' own Miki Sudo winning her fourth consecutive title with 41 dogs.
But as USA Today points out, Chestnut has an advantage in that the Wilt Chamberlin to his Bill Russell, Japanese eater Takeru Kobayashi, has been out of the game since 2009. Chestnut did beat Kobayashi three times in a head-to-head (or maybe mouth-to-mouth) competition, though, so we're going to go ahead and say that, while we might be lagging behind in everything from math education to linguistic diversity, when it comes to income inequality, prison population, jorts, and shoving soaking-wet hot dogs down our throats, America is still No. 1.


This is Ronald Johnson's story. One of ridicule, of sadness and of an otherworldly experience stemming from an unidentified flying object landing on his Iowa farm in the 1960s. It's one thing to go through something unbelievable like this. It's something totally different to share it without anticipating the consequences.

Q: Multiple definition of a variable in C++ classes Assume these two cpp files:
0.cc
#include <iostream>

class test{
 public:
 int num = 5;
};

int main(){
 test t;
 return t.num;
}

1.cc
class test{
 public:
 int num = 6; // <-- note this has a different value.
};

We compile it with g++ 0.cc 1.cc.
Initializing a member variable inside the class works since C++11. My question is how is it compiling whiteout a linker error? is it undefined behaviour? as we are breaking the one definition rule.
If classes were not used this would generate a link error at compile time.
I know that defining a function within a class makes it inline so it would be ok to have multiple of them in different files, but not sure how multiple variables are ok?

A: Yes, it's a violation of One Definition Rule and it's Undefined Behavior.
