Q: Improve Dynamics CRM Solution Import Speed Our Dynamics CRM Solution is quite large, and it takes between 20 to 25 minutes to complete an import on our servers.
While testing the import process on a Dynamics CRM hosting provider, the import took significantly less time, around 8 minutes.
In an attempt to see if hardware can improve the import speed, I've setup a virtual machine with Dynamics CRM in VMware Workstation 8. The VM is on an SSD, 4 cores (from a 6 core i7-3930K), and has 12 GB RAM. It still took around 20 minutes. I tried SQL 2008 R2 SP2 and SQL 2012 with no noticeable difference.
How can I improve the import speed software-wise? Is there any information available that goes into detail on what the import process does, so we can optimize around those variables?
The solution contains 60+ entities, customizations to 40+ system entities, plugins, ribbon buttons, sitemap changes, processing steps, and a few hundred web resources. It's currently a little over 6MB.
Also, how can I know what hardware component is the biggest bottleneck for the import process? Perfmon showed the SSD idling away most of the import process, RAM was at 6.5 GB, only the processor showed relatively higher use, but not more than 30%-40%. Or, is VMware Workstation itself the bottleneck, and dedicated hardware, or ESX/Hyper-V, will improve this?

A: Even though it may be four cores, the import process itself is running on a single thread, so that might explain the relatively low CPU use - one core (plus a bit of another) is working really hard, which equals 30-40% total CPU.  My bet is that you would see similar times (maybe a bit longer, but not much) even if you just gave the VM one core.
Your real problem here is that your solution is just too damn big. Break it into components. Test to see if you can narrow down the performance issues to certain customizations. I'd start removing all Web Resources, for example, and see how that effects the import.
Another approach would be to split it into two solutions - one that is "stable" and another that is under active development. Then you'd be importing a smaller solution more frequently.

A: You're guaranteed to not get any worse performance on real hardware.  But since your VM isn't using everything that is has, you should be able to improve performance without going to that step just yet.  Have you tired changing the IIS Settings in your VM?

Starting July 5th: A Fistful of Djangos!
Hey everyone, grab your cowboy hat and your gatling gun 'cause here at Silver Emulsion we're rolling out a two-week Django extravaganza! It will run Mon-Thurs starting July 5th and will continue the following Monday July 12th.
The Django series isn't an actual series when defined by strict definitions, but like all good Italian films from that era, it spawned a gazillion clone movies that sought to capitalize on the first film's success. Uncle Jasper and I are going to tackle four films each, for an eight film, two-week look at this classic Spaghetti Western series. Check back soon for more details, including a schedule of the films we're taking a look at! It's gonna be Django-rific!
If you're excited about it as we are, feel free to post the banner image on your site!

Movie Q & A Thing
Well, I generally don't like these sorts of things, but what the hell. Kevin over at The Pork Chop Express linked me in this, so I will do my best.
1. What was your first movie-going experience?
The earliest movie I can remember seeing was 1985's Follow That Bird, the Big Bird movie. I loved it. I doubt it holds up.
2. How many DVDs do you own?
Eh, over 100 but I've been trying to slim it down lately. I used to want an archive of all these movies I love, but I realize now that a core set of watchable favorites is more ideal.
3. What is your guilty pleasure movie?
I don't really feel guilty about the stuff I like. Not that I don't like some trash, just that I have aged into not caring so much what others think about my tastes. That being said, I like Weekend at Bernie's way too much. So awful, but so so good.
4. You've compiled a list of your top 100 movies. Which films didn't make the cut?
Weekend at Bernie's. No really, I don't make it a habit of making lists, especially one of 100 films. I'd have to have a huge, months long Battle Royale tournament to decide something like that. Just off the top of my head I'll say Lawrence of Arabia. When I see it on the big screen at some point, I'll probably change my mind though. I feel like I haven't really seen it until then.
5. Which movie(s) do you compulsively watch over and over again?
The Big Lebowski, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future. I could probably watch Inglourious Basterds a lot and not get tired of it as well.
6. Classic(s) you're ashamed to admit you haven't seen yet?
Um, this is a hard one as I've seen most of the big ones. I've never seen Giant. I like James Dean and it looks good, but something about it just makes me not care. One of these days.
7. What movie posters are hanging in your room?
At the moment none. Rolled up in my storage are:
Dawn of the Dead (signed by Tom Savini and Ken Foree)
and probably a couple I'm forgetting.
I'll tag JP @ J.P.'s I'm Outta Here Movie Thoughts in this because I know he hasn't done it yet.

Picking up where I left off, Jaco, my new Dutch friend who I met in Lviv then later travelled through Kyiv, Chernobyl, and the Crimea region with for the next 11 days of this trip.Since this blog is actually a few months behind, I will be quick just to get some pictures up… And most of this part of the journey was almost-adventures that ended in fumbles and laughter.
Kiev is pretty worth-seeing city, but doesn't beat L'viv's atmosphere and feel. Did enjoy St Alexsander Street wandering the stalls selling cheap souvenirs and Ukrainian memorabilia. Went out for a fun night of drinking with several people we met, sampling several different beers and bars. First stumble was trying to get to some cave monasteries but somehow missed that metaphorical boat 3 times in one day.
the incident, that was so amazing to me how versatile those creatures can be and interested to know what scientists discover about them.
What really put me off was two things: (1) seeing artifacts or items strategically and purposefully placed in a way to create an artificial statement or a really powerful (but staged) photo opportunity. A majority of my experience was, in a way, sadly numbed to me because instead of seeing everything for what it was, I questioned and scrutinized the position and condition of every thing. Because it seemed a scientist, tourist, worker, or activist could have intentionally or accidentally moved or altered something, and in doing so, took away some of the 'realness' for me, unfortunately, in order to make a photo or a point. And (2) the towns were being exploited in a way because, although Chernobyl is a historic (disaster) site, and we should all learn from it, people should see what it was and what consequences it has had all these years, but it's also an "almost sacred" sight that allowing hoards of people to trample through causes it to lose a bit of history and changes every time .
. . However the site is just sitting there and at least this way people can see, appreciate, hopefully learn from, and I do hope they use the money from tours in a good way to benefit or compensate those who have lost, but it is the Ukrainian government so I know that is probably not exactly the case.
It was always a shot of reality when you re-realize that these were people's abandoned homes and towns. Just thinking of all those displaced, exposed people who were being lied to and left unaided with very little support or supplies. That always brought me back to reality and thankful that on that historical day, I was half way around the world celebrating my first birthday.
phone, but luckily the hostel owner heard me shouting his name and he let us in.
beach where I didn't want to leave our belongings, for good reason, because when Jaco finally talked me in to jumping in for a VERY QUICK swim, we returned to find his favourite pants was missing, including his money, watch, camera. They had left my belongings, luckily for me. But i didn't have any valuables and I kept things in my smelly shoes.
Taking overnight train then to Odessa, which was horrible and uncomfortable and cheap. So to save a little bit of money we took the more horrible, more uncomfortable, hot, and cheaper seats.
fire with booze he shot out of his mouth! Odessa is supposed to have a FANTASTIC night life, but we discovered (very late in the night) that it was relatively dead and quiet because there was a party along the beach, a few kms away, and THAT is where all the locals were. Never mind. We did get to see a local karaoke bar which is really fascinating and fun.
to a crowded market square area and locate the final bus station which I had to wait until 10pm for the bus to Bucharest. Then I sat next to a younger Romanian guy who wasn't too shy to use my shoulder as a head rest for most of the journey. Having to do a bag-check (On a FULLY LOADED DOUBLE DECKER BUS, meaning about 80-100 people all with one or more bags/suitcases) at the Moldovian border and again at the Romanian side. Taking well over two hours for this fiasco with the grumpiest bus driver. Took my time to get to the airport as I had several hours to spare, only to discover my plane was delayed two hours. And the flight that leaves AFTER our delayed flight was shuttled to the tarmac before us. And only one bus shuttled small groups of people at a time as the other 6 buses sat parked and unused. Oh, I love Romania. . . HAAAATE Baneasa airport.
Flew to Malaga, Spain, barely made my bus for Nerja, for a very confusing welcoming, and spent the remaining 3 weeks volunteering at the donkey sanctuary. Good times!

Last week I had Ellie visiting for five days, and it was her first time in Finland. Still, I thought it would be nice to take her to Tallinn during her stay too, since a wintery Helsinki isn't that exotic for someone who lives in Oslo.
Here's some pictures from her stay, and hopefully some good ideas for other coming to Helsinki or Tallinn.
On the first day, we went to the Uspenski Cathedral, and also visited the Hotel Katajanokka, which only six years ago was a jail. On our way back to the centre, we found this writing on a wall. Translated from Finnish it is about "Untidiness prohibited". Obey or be punished.
…which I had to try too. I would make a great cossack!
I love the Depeche Mode Bar in Tallinn. Just a great place!

When it comes to becoming fluent a language, the sooner you begin to learn it, the better. As a preschooler, your child is at a prime age for acquiring a second language. Because of the elasticity of the brain at this age, there will never be a better time for your child to learn a foreign language. After age 10, it becomes significantly more difficult to learn a new language. By enrolling your child in a language immersion preschool, you are giving them an advantage.
Not only is it easier to learn a new language at a young age, it is far easier to become fluent as well. Children are like sponges for language absorption before age 10; the more of a language they learn, the more they retain. When you enroll your child in our language immersion preschool in Pearland, they are exposed to significantly more of the chosen language than they would be in a traditional preschool class. While your child could learn Spanish in a traditional setting when they are older, it is far less likely that they will gain more fluency than peers who attended language immersion programs.
Because we spend more time speaking in a second language, instructors have more flexibility to approach language learning in a variety of ways. While a traditional preschool may teach their students the ABCs in Spanish, teachers in language immersion programs can instruct their students with a much wider variety of materials because the emphasis is on learning a foreign language.
Speaking in a foreign language forces you to be more thoughtful about what you are saying because you need to try harder to understand and be understood. Learning another language also introduces you to a new culture, forcing you to be more open-minded. The increased inclination towards empathy that naturally comes from learning a second language is something that will serve your child in many areas of their lives.
When you are ready to introduce your child to the many benefits of a language immersion program, Crossing Borders Preschool is ready to help. Contact our preschool in Pearland, TX for more information.

Jenny S 2009 Obit: Fiddler Jennings (19) RE: Obit: Fiddler Jennings 09 Jul 11
Fids was the finest fiddler we have ever met. Having taken up the fiddle at the age of 6 or so, he was called Fiddler from around that time, when he and his chums (several also named Jimmy, same as him) would all ignore their mothers calling them in from play. One day Fids' mum in exasperation called him "Jimmy... Fiddler"... and so the name stuck, and no more ignoring Mum!
He spent a number of years in the Royal Marines, being invalided-out in around the mid '70s due to a spine problem caused by a mis-judged parachute jump. He underwent spine surgery that went wrong, and was told that he would never walk again. His reply: "f*** that" as he strode out, never again to be without pain, but never giving in to the medics' prediction, nor to the pain.
Thereafter he lived in Plymouth, leading sessions as well as playing with the Pheasant Pluckers, Slipknot and many others. His club at the Riverside at Saltash was a golden era for Plymouth folk. He moved to Portugal (for the warmer drier climate, to ease the constant back pain) in the mid '80s.
He was so highly-regarded that when Stephane Grapelli did a concert in Plymouth he sent for Fids to play with him.
He was a profound influence on and mentor to a great many musicians - many of whom found him rather too "abrasive" for their own egos! However, those who came to know him well will tell you what a generous, sensitive and soft-hearted person he was, always ready to help anyone (even those he disliked) who was in need. When he won the Slow Air fiddle contest at Carrbridge in Scotland the judge said that "he played like a man with a broken heart". How true.
Such is his friends' regard for him that not only was a huge wake held for him in early 2010, but also a follow-up music weekend in March 2011. There are moves afoot to meet again in Spring 2012. Send a pm if you would like to join us, or if you would like to see video of the wake (including a clip of Georgie Heslop reading extracts from Fids' service record - it makes entertaining reading!).

Sister Mary Rachel Gatch, 97, teacher, counselor
Sister Mary Rachel Gatch, a member of the School Sisters of Notre Dame who once ran a reading clinic in Baltimore, died Thursday of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, at the Maria Health Center at Villa Assumpta in Baltimore. She was 97.
Sister Rachel, whose teaching career spanned six decades, taught theology at the College of Notre Dame from 1934 to 1959. She began her career at a Massachusetts school in 1920 and retired in 1973 from John Carroll High School in Bel Air, where she was a guidance counselor.
She opened a reading clinic in Baltimore to help children with reading difficulties. The clinic, sponsored by the Archdiocese of Baltimore, closed in 1970.
A Baltimore native, Sister Rachel graduated from Notre Dame Preparatory School in 1917. She entered the School Sisters of Notre Dame Candidature and professed her vows in 1921.
She graduated from Fordham University in the Bronx, N.Y., in 1929 with a bachelor's degree in English, philosophy and Latin, and in 1933 she received a master's degree from Boston College in history, English and education.
A Mass of Christian burial will be offered at 10 a.m. tomorrow at the chapel at Villa Assumpta, 6401 N. Charles St., Baltimore.
She is survived by several nieces and nephews.
Ethel Haynes Cable, 90, active in community groups
Ethel Haynes Cable, who was active in several Carroll County community groups, died Thursday of heart failure at Fairhaven Retirement Center in Sykesville. She was 90.
Born Ethel Haynes in Baltimore, she was the granddaughter of David F. Haynes, head of Baltimore-based D. F. Haynes and Son, one of the largest pottery manufacturers in the country. She was a 1924 graduate of Eastern High School and a 1928 graduate of Goucher College.
In 1935, she married John Welty Cable III, a founding partner of the Baltimore law firm Cable McDaniel Bowie and Bond. The Cables moved to Harvest Farm, a cattle farm in Carroll County, in 1950. Mr. Cable died in 1967.
Mrs. Cable was a charter member of the Eldersburg Improvement Association, a member of the Carroll County League of Women Voters and a leader in the Girl Scouts and 4-H. She was a horticulturist and a member of the Wesley Freedom United Methodist Church in Eldersburg for more than 40 years.
Surviving are a son, John David Cable of Suwanee, Ga.; a daughter, Alice Cable Craig of Seneca, S.C.; and two grandchildren.
Services will be held at 11 a.m. tomorrow at Wesley Freedom United Methodist Church, 961 Johnsville Road in Eldersburg.
Christina D. Caprarola, 75, supervising secretary
Christina DeWald Caprarola, a retired secretary, died April 6 of cancer at the Harford Gardens Nursing Center. The former Mayfield resident was 75.
She was a supervising secretary for Title Guaranty Co. from 1960 until her retirement in 1982. Earlier, she worked for Maryland Casualty Co.
Born and raised on Milton Avenue in East Baltimore, Miss Caprarola was a 1939 graduate of Eastern High School and Eaton & Burnett Business College.
Services were held Wednesday at the Schimunek Funeral Home.
She is survived by three sisters, Philomina Mantini, Rosalie Miller and Palmina DeWald, all of Baltimore; and several nieces and nephews.


According to a recent report, the global supply chain management (SCM) market size is expected to have grown 14% to $12.2 billion in 2017. The market is dominated by SAP which accounts for nearly 27% of the market share, followed by Oracle with 14% share. The growth in the industry will continue to be driven by organizations wanting to adopt cloud-based SCM offerings. Tradeshift is one such cloud offering that has recently joined to the Billion Dollar Unicorn club.
San Francisco-based Tradeshift was founded in 2009 by Christian Lanng, Gert Sylvest, and Mikkel Brun. The three founders had always been entrepreneurs. Lanng had sold his first company for $1 million when he was just 19. Mikkel had co-founded a Product Information Management and publishing company in his first year at the university. Gert was one of the first members of Avanade, a joint venture between Accenture and Microsoft.
In 2005, the trio met each other when they were asked by the Danish National IT & Telecom Agency to create an e-invoice network. Together they built EasyTrade, an open-source trade platform that is still used by a majority of Dutch businesses. For the next three years, the founders worked together to try to address their core vision – to offer a service that could connect businesses of the world. By 2010, the first version of Tradeshift was released.
Today, Tradeshift has become a social network for connecting supply chains. It offers enterprise and seller cloud-based solutions to improve processes like invoicing, workflow, and supplier financing. For enterprises, it provides three key services – Tradeshift Pay that automates the end-to-end process of invoicing and Accounts Payables, Tradeshift Buy that automates the procurement process, and Tradeshift Go that enables employees to purchase using a credit card within the controls of a procurement system.
It also offers specific seller focused services such as access to a "Seller Club" that offers access to cheaper capital and bigger markets, and above all, an easy to use invoicing service. It boasts of connecting over 1.5 billion business globally and has a client list that includes names like KLM, HSBC, and Societe Generale.
Disclaimer: More investigation and analysis of Unicorn companies can be found in my latest Entrepreneur Journeys book, Billion Dollar Unicorns. Last year, we began tracking Unicorn companies – essentially organizations with billion dollar plus valuations – inspired by a TechCrunch article by Aileen Lee of Cowboy Ventures. Unicorns will also be discussed with some special guests during our 1M/1M Roundtable programs over the next few weeks. To be a part of the conversation, please register here.

Q: Why doesn't the Add View List Scaffolding wizard use the "DisplayName" data annotation So I just spent a bunch of time annotating my domain entities with Required, StringLength, Range, Display etc.
I then went in and started creating my strongly typed views that have the correct domain entity set.
The first view I tried was a List Scaffolded view for my domain entity that has Display(Name="foo") attributes generously applied.  When the view is created, the table headers still use the property name, rather than the displayname I set.
Does MVC3 with April Tools update ignore these data annotations?

A: Assuming you are using MvcScaffolding, then yes, these scaffolding templates ignore metadata.
But if you follow this article you can create you own template. When you have done that, you can modify your own template.
Look for this part in the template

<#
List<ModelProperty> properties = GetModelProperties(Model.ViewDataType, true);
foreach (ModelProperty property in properties) {
if (!property.IsPrimaryKey && !property.IsForeignKey && !property.IsEnumerable) {
#>
        <#=  property.Name #>
<#
}
}
#>

change <#= property.Name #>	 to @Html.LabelFor(x => x.First().<#=  property.Name #>)	 and it will use the modelmetadata displayname instead. Be cautious though that this it just to illustrate quickly how you could handle this instead, based on the template for the index view (which has an IEnumerable<> as a model).

Cost is dependent upon number of meals per week, days per week, # of out of housers, live-ins. We take our time to understand your needs and do not price the program to be dependent upon what type of meals are served and the quality of the meals served.
WHAT KIND OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE DO YOUR CHEFS HAVE?
Our chefs have experience working for organizations such as the Green Bay Packers and internationally known music acts like The Goo Goo Dolls. Some have also served as personal chefs for luminaries such as Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, baseball Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, and former President and First Lady George H.W. and Barbara Bush.
WHY DOES CAMPUS COOKS SPECIALIZE IN FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES?
Many of our team members–including our founder and president–are Greek alumni themselves, and value the time they spent with their houses. Providing exemplary food service is a way for us to give back to a community that has remained an important part of our lives.
Unlike other companies, Campus Cooks' contract are for a year with a 30-day cancellation policy. If you are not happy, then we are not happy.
HOW MUCH INPUT ON THE FOOD DO I HAVE?
As much as you want. Campus Cooks is a guest in your house. You will sit down weekly with the chef to plan the menu and review special events. If you have an idea for a meal that you think your house will enjoy, pass it along to your chef…they'll work with you to discuss the possibilities.
OUR HOUSE HAS MEMBERS WITH FOOD ALLERGIES. HOW CAN CAMPUS COOKS TAKE CARE OF THEM?
Before food service begins, we learn about food allergies and dietary restrictions in the chapter and then tailor our menus specifically to respond to those issues. Food safety is of the highest concern for us.
Does Campus Cooks offer fresh, farm-to-table options?
Campus Cooks works with national vendors as well as many local companies to provide fresh, farm to table, products. Your members will be excited to see fresh, healthy options at every meal, especially the salad bar.
How does the Campus Cooks chef maintain a fresh menu variety?
Campus Cooks' chefs are digitally tied to a network of over 130 other chefs within the Campus Cooks community allowing them to share menu items and recipe ideas. This keeps menus fresh with a wide variety of healthy foods.
How does Campus Cooks handle members that are faced with dietary restrictions?
Each member will submit a Dietary Profile online through CampusCooks.com, outlining their allergy or health related dietary restriction. Your chef will then meet individually with the student to understand their need and ensure a safe and healthy environment.
How does Campus Cooks handle the development of the weekly menus?
Menus are written by your chef in collaboration with the chapter and not a rotating menu generated by the home office. Our process enables the chapter to take ownership of the menu and its food program, allowing them to approve all menus two weeks in advance of serving.
How does Campus Cooks maintain proper safety and sanitation in your kitchen?
All Campus Cooks chefs are trained in food safety and posses ServSafe® certification. Plus, Regional Supervisors conduct a monthly 7 Keys inspection.
Does Campus Cooks maintain proper registration and insurance?
Your members will not have to pay or file a claim on your workers' compensation policy if your chef gets hurt. We also maintain high liability insurance limits in case of catastrophic loss and we ensure that sales tax is paid monthly.
How does Campus Cooks handle special events?
While it is Campus Cooks' goal to have all other extra service charges all inclusive in the price of the service, each chapters requirement for such event(s) are not uniform. Cost vary due to the scope of the event (# of attendees, menu, labor, rentals, etc.) and with the frequency/number of events held throughout the year. Fees and services for these events will be agreed to in advance of these events, on a case-by-case basis. The chapter leadership must approve all additional charges and services.

Zynga is staking its future on real money and, with this week's launch of ZyngaPlusPoker and ZyngaPlusCasino, they'll find out if that gamble pays off.
The two sites are standalone gambling sites and only available to UK players over the age of 18. ZyngaPlusPoker is a standard online poker that features a variety of games and tournaments while ZyngaPlusCasino includes 160 casino games.
These sites represent a major step forward for the struggling game maker as it tries to step out of the social gaming niche and into the real money market online. Besides real money ventures in the UK, Zynga has also applied for a Nevada gaming license and is expected to get the nod gaming regulators some time this year.
Zynga is also expected to launch a Facebook-only, real money gambling product called Ultimate Slots in a few months. Ultimate Slots is designed to incorporate social gaming elements along with real money slot play.
All of these efforts are aimed at pleasing Zynga's shareholders and, so far, that's exactly what's been happening. On Wednesday afternoon, Zynga stock was up 15% and trading at $ 3.53.
Are you living in the UK? Check out these sites and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

"War Eagle" is Auburn's battle cry, not a mascot or nickname. The most popular story about the battle cry dates back to the first time Auburn met Georgia on the football field in 1892 and centers around a spectator who was a veteran of the Civil War. In the stands with him that day was an eagle the old soldier had found on a battlefield during the war. He had kept it as a pet for almost 30 years. According to witnesses, the eagle suddenly broke free and began majestically circling the playing field. As the eagle soared, Auburn began a steady march toward the Georgia end zone for a thrilling victory. Elated at their team's play and taking the bird's presence as an omen of success, Auburn students and fans began to yell "War Eagle" to spur on their team. At the game's end, the eagle took a sudden dive, crashed into the ground, and died. But the battle cry "War Eagle" lived on to become a symbol of the proud Auburn spirit.
The great Auburn tradition, failed before it began. But never let it be said the Weagles accept repeated defeat.
Even funnier is the Auburn family in the skybox who witnessed the modern Spirit's desperate bid for escape from Orange oppression – and took pictures.
Hey Barners, too bad your defense doesn't hit as hard as your eagles.

Can Cannabis Help With Sleep?
Tuck Sleep	401 Views 0 Comments	cannabis, CBD, insomnia, sleep	12 min read
In a recent survey of medical marijuana users, 76 percent of respondents reported using cannabis for relaxation and 65 percent as a sleep aid. The survey, conducted by HelloMD—the "largest community of patients using marijuana for health and wellness in the country"—also found that comorbid, insomnia-inducing factors were also popular reasons for weed intake: stress and depression. As many as 84 percent respondents reported that the mind-altering, psychoactive drug provides them with a significant relief of symptoms, and 96 percent of users said they'd recommend marijuana to their friends.
But do peer-reviewed studies support this enthusiasm? In this article, we take a look at the latest and most robust research regarding using marijuana for sleep.
Cannabis in the U.S.: A Recent Change in Status
In the last decade public support for the legalization of marijuana has risen drastically, some states allowed the use of marijuana for both medical and recreational purposes, and Americans began to shed the stigmas and stereotypes about those who avail themselves of the drug. Cannabis use is no longer something to snicker at, to be discreet about, or to resort to when demonizing certain demographics. Marijuana is no longer just for stoners wearing frayed denims wanting to get as high as a kite and watch Microcosmos; cannabis is also for retirees and high-performing professionals and vets who may have no interest in getting high but want to sleep soundly and without pain.
According to Pew Research Center, Americans favoring legalization of marijuana have outnumbered those against it and continue to rise. Fifty-seven percent of U.S. adults say the use of marijuana should be made legal, while 37 percent say it should be illegal—a reversal from just a decade ago. The support transcends political party and age group affiliations. One in eight Americans confesses to using marijuana. One in five people now lives near somewhere with legalized cannabis. About seven in ten Americans now believe that alcohol is more harmful than cannabis. With weed's newfound respectability on the rise, marijuana use has increasingly become the subject of research.
" Marijuana is no longer just for stoners wearing frayed denims wanting to get as high as a kite and watch Microcosmos; cannabis is also for retirees and high-performing professionals and vets who may have no interest in getting high but want to sleep soundly and without pain. "
Obstacles to the Study of Marijuana and Sleep
The users' enthusiasm and the public's support for marijuana notwithstanding, it has not been easy for scientists to study the effects of marijuana. It is so because legally, institutionally, and culturally embedded hang-ups remain. While more space for serious, scientifically-based conversation about the benefits and downsides of weed—including the use of marijuana for sleep—has opened up, we cannot underestimate the difficulties that federal regulations continue to pose.
Criminality at the federal level.
Cannabis is still a Schedule I controlled substance, in the same category as heroin and LSD. The American Medical Association urged the government to reclassify marijuana so that trials can be conducted more easily. For a journalistically sound expose of the difficulties involved in scientific research of marijuana's properties, see satire-practicing journalist's John Oliver's take from show that aired in April of 2017. "If you have marijuana right now, even if you are acting completely legally according to your state, you may still be in serious jeopardy," Oliver pointed out. "You could lose your home, job or possessions."
Supplier paucity.
Scientists and other critics also claim that the federal government is still ill-prepared to conduct meaningful marijuana studies. "Due to federal prohibition and regulations, all of the marijuana used for US research is provided by one facility at the University of Mississippi through the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)," write journalists at Vox. "But researchers have complained for years that the quality of marijuana that NIDA supplies is terrible—typically far below what you can get from state-legal medical or recreational marijuana markets or even the black market."
Poor sample quality.
Researchers tasked with studying marijuana's effects have been vocal about their frustration with the strength of the samples. The federally provided sample "doesn't resemble cannabis—it doesn't smell like cannabis," lamented researcher Sue Sisley, who is conducing a federally-sponsored study about the effectiveness of marijuana as treatment for veterans with PTSD. The potency of the federally provided samples that she and many other researchers report having received did not match the strength that they requested. "It's unclear whether mold, lead or discrepancies in potency has been a problem in prior cannabis studies, because until now, it appears that no one looked," PBS NewsHour notes in it March 2017 investigation. In 2014, only 6 percent of studies on marijuana analyzed its medicinal properties. There's a light at the end of the claustrophobic tunnel: In August of 2016, the DEA announced it would permit additional growers to register as producers produce of marijuana for research purposes.
Why talk about these limitations? They need to be kept in mind when we look into the results of the studies regarding marijuana's use, including our focus here: the use of weed for sleep. Unlike with other, legal, drugs and means to fall asleep, in the case of marijuana's use to induce restful slumber, the answers that the medical field has so far provided are partial, often contradictory, lacking clear takeaways, and very limited. Doctors and researchers are confused, too. "Clinicians," notes the American Thoracic Society's marijuana workgroup, "and in particular pulmonary, critical care, and sleep physicians, although called on to make important clinical judgments on behalf of patients using marijuana, are no less subject to the confusion and politicization surrounding the topic." More robust, peer-reviewed, longitudinal research is needed.
Variations at the producer and consumer levels.
Add to all this other complicating caveats: The effects of marijuana can vary greatly from person to person. A piece of dark chocolate containing CBD and THC might relax and put to sleep one person, but it might provoke another to excessive chattiness or rumination. It is also true that producers and distributors of marijuana, where it is legal, are still tweaking the dosage and predictability of various edibles, tinctures, and the weed for smoking. With advancing regulation and quality control, much progress has already been made in states where both medical and recreational weed is legal, like Colorado, Washington, and Oregon.
What Science Tells Us Regarding Marijuana's Effect on Sleep
While difficulties with obtaining robust samples and studies persist, researchers have reached some conclusions, some of them contested and tentative, regarding cannabis and sleep. Here are the most important ones:
Marijuana is 114 times safer than alcohol and cigarettes. The risk of mortality that weed causes is extremely low. The findings were published in a 2015 issue of the journal Scientific Reports, which is a subsidiary of Nature.
Smoking pot poses the same risks that smoking cigarettes does. The American Cancer Society cautions that along with THC and other cannabinoids, smoked marijuana delivers "harmful substances to users and those close by, including many of the same substances found in tobacco smoke." The American Lung Association notes that marijuana smokers "tend to inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than cigarette smokers, which leads to greater exposure per breath to tar. Edibles, tinctures, and oils do not pose those risks, but it's worth keeping in mind that they can take longer to take effect—anywhere between 45 minutes to three hours. The ingestibles tends to linger longer in the system than smoked weed, which activates and dissipates more quickly.
Marijuana may combat anxiety, but it can also provoke it. As we've established at the beginning of the article, many people report reaching for marijuana in order to calm anxiety and in order to fall asleep. Marijuana is derived from the hemp-producing plant cannabis and even though it contains more than 400 chemicals, the psychoactive ones are the THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) and cannabidiol (CBD). Harvard researchers concede that at low doses, THC can be calming. At higher doses, however, it can induce "intense episodes of anxiety," especially in people who are beginners and not used to what dosage works for them.
"The paradox of marijuana both inducing and relieving anxiety is reconciled by understanding that effects on anxiety levels are dose-dependent," according to a scientific review of cannabis and anxiety. The Harvard-based authors of the same publication, "Medical Marijuana and the Mind," say that CBD appears to interact with the more high-producing THC to result in sedation and that it may have independently "anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, or antipsychotic effects, although the research is too preliminary to be applied clinically." While a high dose taken by the unprepared might result in anxiety or even psychosis (the extreme results of a high), it is "not yet known whether marijuana increases the risk of developing a persistent anxiety disorder." While a lot of people who smoke marijuana have anxiety, the authors of the Harvard statement say that this may be because of selection bias—meaning, marijuana is not causing the anxiety, rather, anxious people are more likely to reach for marijuana.
The power of marijuana to induce sleep has been confirmed by a number of studies. A review of clinical trial data of the cannabis-based medicines containing primarily THC, CBD, and a 1:1 combination of the two published in the journal Chemistry & Biodiversity noted "a mild activating effect of CBD, and slight residual sedation with TCH-predominant extracts." Authors remarked that most of the 2000 subjects that took cannabis extracts in clinical trials demonstrated "marked improvement in subjective sleep parameters," as well as no growing tolerance to the drug over several years. In a Canadian study of 104 HIV-positive adults, two thirds endorsed the use of weed for sleep, among other benefits. In the short term, Harvard Medical School concedes, marijuana can have a relaxing effect.
Some studies, including the 2016 one from Boston University's School of Public Health, appear to contradict these conclusions, noting that marijuana contributes to the lowering of sleep's quality. But it may be that self-selection bias is part of the picture: people who smoke weed tend to do it because they are anxious. "Study participants who didn't smoke every day usually smoked in the evening," said one of the lead researchers. "But once you're smoking multiple times a day, there's a greater chance that you'll report disturbed sleep. Only by stopping marijuana completely, and waiting some time without using at all, will a person be able to determine how marijuana was affecting, or not affecting, his or her sleep."
Studies indicate that pot can combat the ailments that can cause insomnia. Stress and depression are insomnia's comorbidities: they can either directly keep us up or they can coexist with sleep deprivation. Among several recent studies, the one that stands out, by the neuroscientists at the University of Buffalo's Research Institute on Addictions, examined stress and depression with particular attention on endocannabinoids, the brain chemicals similar to the ones contained in marijuana called by the researchers "brain's own marijuana." "Using compounds derived from cannabis—marijuana—to restore normal endocannabinoid function could potentially help stabilize moods and ease depression," said lead researcher Dr. Samir Haj-Dahmane. Another recent study noted that pot can curb responses to triggers following severe stress and trauma (PTSD), which commonly result in startled responses, insomnia, and nightmares. The traumatized rats treated with cannabis fared much better than the rats treated with the SSRI antidepressant sertraline (Zoloft).
CBD, pot's non-euphoric cannabinoid, can work well as a sleep-aid in conjunction with THC or alone. Pain specialists often praise the way CBD offsets the rousing highs (and potential for psychosis) produced by THC. For some users, the more mellow indica strains of THC accomplish the task of providing the body with the unmistakable heaviness (sedation) just before falling asleep. But THC can be too rousing for many. That's when doctors, such as James Lathrop, founder of Cannabis City, recommend CBD. "I recommend CBD to all novice users," Lathrop says. "Certainly for people who are prone to anxiety, someone who doesn't want that high-THC effect, the high-CBD strains can really do it." However, some studies indicate that CBD actually induces wakefulness and decreases the beneficial slow wave and REM phases of sleep. The takeaway offered by the nonprofit dedicated to promoting and publicizing research into the medical uses of CBD is that insomniacs take a CBD-rich tincture or extract not immediately, but a few hours before bedtime find a "balancing effect that facilitates a good night's sleep."
Marijuana has been shown to mitigate obstructive sleep apnea. In the June 2002 issue of the journal Sleep from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Medicine noted "potent suppression" of sleep-related apnea in rats administered either exogenous or endogenous cannabinoids. More recent studies confirmed this effect in rats and in human adults.
Teenagers won't like hearing this, but use by adolescents is dangerous to brain development. Because children's and teenagers' brains are still forming and are thus susceptible to lasting damage, researchers caution that the detrimental effects of steady marijuana use are greater in the non-adult age group, and tend to outweigh the benefits. Susan Weiss, director of the division of extramural research at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), notes that "there's a growing literature, and it's all pointing in the same direction: Starting young and using frequently may disrupt brain development."
Resources on Marijuana and Sleep
Sleep journal, from the World Association of Sleep Medicine and International Pediatric Sleep Association, "focuses on the human aspects of sleep, integrating the various disciplines that are involved in sleep medicine: neurology, clinical neurophysiology, internal medicine (particularly pulmonology and cardiology), psychology, psychiatry, sleep technology, pediatrics, neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, and dentistry." It features a wealth of marijuana-related articles.
NORML, a nonprofit public-interest advocacy group, has provided "a voice in the public policy debate for those Americans who oppose marijuana prohibition and favor an end to the practice of arresting marijuana smokers." It aggregates the latest research and legal case studies.
The Harvard Health Publications website has a number of latest news and commentary on marijuana studies and the mind.
Mayo Clinic's page on medical marijuana offers the more conservative medical establishment's recommendations.
MedlinePlus's page on marijuana, from U.S. National Library of Medicine, aggregates latest news, basic information about marijuana, statistics, and information on clinical trials.

Q: D3 Dimple - group small data series in "others" category I have a pie chart made in dimple, however the there is large amount of extremely small sections that makes the graph unappealing. Is there a d3 or dimple function that will allow me to group this uninteresting data in a single category?

A: without seeing your code and data it is hard to provide a concrete example that matches exactly what you are doing.  this can be done before using d3 or dimple by filtering and reducing your values in a few lines of code.  Say your items have a label and a value and are in an array called "all_items".  You will need to set a threshold value.
const threshold = 100;
big_items = all_items.filter(item => item.value > threshold);
small_items = all_items.filter(item => item.value <= threshold);
collected_value = {
    label: `other - ${small_items.length} items`,
    value: small_items.reduce((accumulator, item) => accumulator + item.value, 0)
}
big_items.push(collected_value);

then you can create your chart using the big_items array.  This doesn't automatically decide what threshold to use and do the work, which you might be looking for.

A Postgres server or Docker host.
Another approach would be to create the databases in the same server, but naming them differently while keeping the same schema.
WARNING: psql major version 9.4, server major version 9.5.
This command will create a Maven project in a folder named springboot-hibernate-multitenancy with most of the dependencies used in the accompanying source code.
Generating the JPA entities from a database schema was also covered in Integration Testing using Spring Boot, Postgres and Docker so I'll just copy com.asimio.dvdrental.model package from its Bitbucket accompanying source code to src/main/java folder.
Hibernate, JPA and datasources properties.
Spring Data JPA and transaction support (through the @Transactional annotation) configuration.
com.asimio.demo.config and com.asimio.demo.rest packages will be scanned for @Component-derived annotated classes.
Note: You would have to replace 172.16.69.133 with your Docker host IP where both Postgres containers are running.
Simple JPA, Hibernate and the datasources configuration properties. No DDL will be generated or executed since the databases schema are already in place. The datasources are prefixed with multitenancy.dvdrental and read into a Java class attributes thanks to yaml support added to Spring but more on this next.
This is the Java class where all the JPA-related beans are instantiated. @Configuration specifies this class is going to provide @Bean-annotated methods defining beans that will be managed by the Spring container.
Also notice how JpaProperties and MultiTenantDvdRentalProperties instances are injected as a result of @EnableConfigurationProperties annotation in line 4.
JpaProperties is provided by Spring Boot and it will include configuration properties prefixed with spring.jpa as defined earlier.
MultiTenantDvdRentalProperties is a simple Java class as shown below, created for this demo and will include the properties prefixed with multitenancy.dvdrental, which is basically tenant information and datasource data to establish connections to the DB.
This is a bean that maps each tenant id with its datasource using an injected instance of the previously described MultiTenantDvdRentalProperties class.
To make the entityManagerFactory bean multi-tenant-aware, its configuration properties need to include a multi-tenant strategy, a multi-tenant connection provider and a tenant identifier resolver implementations, that's what have been configured in lines 26 through 28 along with the JPA properties defined in application.yml and explained here.
DATABASE A database per tenant.
SCHEMA A schema per tenant.
A requirement is not to set the datasource to the entityManagerFactory bean because it will be retrieved from the MultiTenantConnectionProvider and CurrentTenantIdentifierResolver implementations detailed next.
This MultiTenantConnectionProvider implementation uses the datasource Map discussed here to locate the expected datasource from the tenant identifier, which is retrieved from a CurrentTenantIdentifierResolver implementation reviewed next.
The CurrentTenantIdentifierResolver implementation used for this demo is a simple one delegating tenant selection to DvdRentalTenantContext static methods, which uses a ThreadLocal reference to store and retrieve tenant data.
One advantage of this approach instead of resolving tenant identifier using a request URL or HTTP Header is that the Repository layer could be tested without the need to start a servlet container.
Once again, this is the Java class I have been reviewing where all the JPA-related beans are instantiated.
The important things to notice here is that the txManager bean needs to unwrap the EntityManagerFactory implementation, Hibernate's SessionFactory in this case, to set the AutodetectDataSource attribute to false, this is a requirement for multitenancy to work using the approach discussed in this post.
This is not true, in fact unwrapping the SessionFactory and setting it to the HibernateTransactionManager instance was causing a PATCH endpoint in DemoResource.java to fail because there wasn't a transaction to commit to update an Actor entity.
com.asimio.dvdrental.dao package includes the interfaces upon which Spring JPA Data instantiates the Repository (or Dao) beans.
@EnableTransactionManagement or tx:annotation-driven allows the execution of class methods annotated with @Transactional to be wrapped in a DB transaction without the need to manually handling the connection or transaction.
The REST layer is going to implement a Demo REST resource to demonstrate the multitenancy approach described in this post. It will consist of the REST resource, a Spring interceptor to select and set the tenant identifier and the configuration to associate the interceptor with the REST resource.
To keep this post and sample code simple I decided to inject the Repository dependency in the REST-related class, in a more serious or complex application, I would suggest to implement a Service class where one or more Repository / Dao dependencies would be used along with an Object Mapper / Converter to prevent leaking the application's internal model to the resource layer.
This Spring interceptor is going to use a ThreadLocal-based implementation included in DvdRentalTenantContext to set the tenant information passed through an HTTP Header. Another option would be to pass the tenant identifier in the URL or through a BEARER token. Although an interceptor was used for this post, a servlet filter could have been implemented and configured instead.
This configuration is automatically done by Spring Boot but needed to be explicitly configured to associate the DvdRentalMultiTenantInterceptor interceptor with the REST requests.
curl -H "X-TENANT-ID: tenant_1" "http://localhost:8800/demo/1"
curl -H "X-TENANT-ID: tenant_2" "http://localhost:8800/demo/1"
Notice how the actor section in the response varies as a different tenant is passed in the X-TENANT-ID header for each request. Also worth mentioning is that the instance ids for the DemoResource and ActorDao instances are the same, meaning that even though multitenancy has been accomplished, they are still singleton instances for which the correct datasource is used.
In the next post I'll cover Dynamic Configuration using Spring Cloud Bus and will look back at this entry to demo how updating the datasources list will automatically refresh the persistence layer with a new tenant. Stay tuned, go ahead and sign up to the newsletter to receive updates from this blog when content like this is available.

I recently noticed that one of the vampire bats that died in 2010 at the Organization for Bat Conservation was the oldest vampire on record, at about 30 years old.
Bats live 3.5 times longer than they should for their size. The average max lifespan of a bat is 17 years. For comparison, the oldest mouse ever was 4 years old, and the methusaleh of rats was 7. The oldest bat reported was at least 41 years old!! That is just ridiculous for a small mammal.
This bat could be 40 years old.
Born at the Chicago Brookfield Zoo, this vampire bat passed away at the age of 29.9 years. That's a long time, even for a bat. Out of records of lifespan in about 90 bat species, there are only 6 known to live longer. These are the large flying fox, Pteropus giganteus (max age=40 years), the horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum (30.5 years), and three insect-eating bats in the family Vespertilionidae: Plecotus auritus (30 years), Myotis blythii (33 years), lucifugus (34 years), and M. brandti (41 years). Vampire bats are the longest-living, non-hibernating microbat (i.e. not a flying fox). And they are the longest-living bats in their family– the neotropical leaf-nosed bats, the Phyllostomidae, which is also the most ecologically diverse family of bats.
Several factors are correlated with long lifespan in bats– reproductive rate, size, and hibernation. Big animals tend to live longer (one obvious reason is that it takes time to get big, and we all start the same size: one cell.). And hibernation seems to slow down your aging too (more about that later). All of the longest-living bats are either big flying foxes or small hibernators. Vampire bats are the exception; they are small but don't hibernate and they live a long time. If you control for the known predictors of lifespan (size, latitude, reproductive rate, and hibernation), you get a spread of residuals for longevity (showing the variation not explained by these factors). For bats, those residuals look like this (below). The outliers are labeled as dots.
So why does the common vampire live so long?
One reason is that vampire bats are very slow reproducers, even for having at the most only one offspring a year, like most bats. For example, they have the longest gestation period (about 6.5 months), and they provide substantial care for their offspring for at least a year. Vampire bats compensate in part by being in a reproductive state almost constantly; there is no breeding season for vampires (like humans). But they are still slow reproducers. Organisms vary in the extent to which their bodies invest in growth vs maintenance. You can have lots of babies by living fast and dying young (like a petunia ). Or you can take it slow, build up your strength and endure (like an oak tree). Vampire bats invest a lot in their one offspring. Among bats, they are oak trees… metaphorically.
Your parents were right when your goldfish died and they told you, "dying is an inherent part of life." Your cells are dying constantly, and every time you eat, breathe, or exercise, all the healthy things they tell you to do– that produces oxidants that damage your DNA. Your body produces antioxidants to protect the DNA. One theory of aging is that some animals live longer because they are better at protecting their DNA from this kind of damage. In fact, one study found that vampire bat DNA was more protected from damage than another bat species Myotis velifer. So that could be another reason. However, this mechanism has been appearing less and less important as research on aging continues, with more attention being paid to the insulin IGF-1 pathway. But this has never been investigated in bats.
One interesting finding, which has been replicated many times, is that if you fast animals, they live longer. This is called caloric restriction, and its effect on age has been studied experimentally in many things from yeast to flatworms to dogs and primates. Some have proposed that hibernation prolongs life for the same reason as caloric restriction. There is also some evidence that you can prolong lifespan by giving the same amount of calories but in big chunks spaced apart, where you only feed an animal every other day, or every 24 hours. Interestingly, this is the way vampire bats eat all the time: one big meal every 24 hours. Blood is also a strange food. Minus all the water, its 93% protein, 1% carbs, and 1% fat. Maybe this weird diet and the every-other-day feeding regime are other reasons vampires live so long.
Aging is one of the hottest topics in biology right now. As mechanisms of aging are better understood and we have more data on maximum lifespan of bats and other animals, we will be able to throw out more of the ideas above.
One of my favorite theories of why caloric restriction prolongs aging is based on an evolutionary theory that states that you can increase your reproductive success even when having fewer offspring. Wait- what?? How's that possible given that reproductive success = number of offspring you produce?? As shown in this brilliant paper, in a population that is shrinking, you can increase the proportion of your genetic contribution to the next generation if you procrastinate having your offspring till a bit later. To take an extreme example: in a population dropping from 20 to 10, your offspring, if born later, will be 1/10th rather than 1/20th of the entire population. During a population increase, it's best to reproduce sooner rather than later, but during a population crash, natural selection will rewards those that delay reproduction. So if there are cues of a population crash, like a famine, an organism's body might shift from more like a "petunia" to a more like an "oak tree". Is there any evidence of this? Well, there is one finding that's hard to explain using other theories: just smelling food can partially reverses the effects of caloric restriction. Wow, crazy.

A friend in Sonoma sent this excellent document/ You can download the original or read below

The target date that we set for city-wide "carbon-neutrality" (or "net zero emissions") is of utmost importance.
Current California laws require a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions below 1990 levels by 2030 (SB32) and an 80% reduction by 2050 (Executive Order S-3-05). These laws imply a zero emissions target date of around 2060.
Governor Brown's more recent (2018) Executive Order B-55-18 sets a goal of "…carbon neutrality as soon as possible and no later than 2045." (The target is often misrepresented as 2045; "as soon as possible" really means "as soon as possible!") The City of Petaluma's May 2019 Climate Emergency Resolution committed the City to this same timeframe.
The 2018 IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5degC(Note 1) stated that we had 20 years (until 2038) to reach carbon neutrality in order to have "a two-thirds chance of limiting warming to 1.5degC." The Report adds that "…geophysical uncertainty … translates into a variation of this timing … of roughly 15 to 20 years." Geophysical uncertainty refers to the effect of amplifying feedback loops such at the release of methane due to melting permafrost, the "ice albedo effect," and others.
Thus, according to the IPCC, our target date for zero emissions – and for limiting warming to 1.5oC — may already have passed.
Note 1 IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5oC, Chapter 2, p. 96.
Amplifying feedback loops trigger climate "tipping points" that are irreversible within the scale of human lifetimes. Not surprisingly, these uncertainties are not playing out in our favor. Mounting scientific evidence documents climate effects, such as the melting of ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland, proceeding far faster than recent climate models had predicted.
In addition, it's important to put the IPCC projections into context: IPCC reports represent the consensus opinion of the world's leading climate scientists and must be reviewed and approved by the governments of over 100 nations prior to publication. In other words, IPCC reports express conservative scientific consensus tempered by political reality. As dire as their warnings may seem, they err on the side of optimism.
No rational person would board an airplane or an elevator that had only a two-thirds chance of arriving safely at its destination. And yet, with regard to the climate crisis, we're asking people to take such a risk.
In the realms of engineering design, insurance underwriting, disaster preparedness, and others, where concern for human health and safety is paramount, we don't prepare for "likely" (i.e., high-probability) scenarios. Instead, we identify and prepare for worst-case (i.e., lowprobability) scenarios. In these realms, we seek to reduce the probability of disaster to 0.1% or 0.01% or less.
If we were to apply the same level of concern for human health and safety in addressing the climate crisis, we would immediately cease all GHG emissions.
As a compromise between the exigencies of the climate crisis and political reality, we are calling for a target date for net zero emissions of 2030. Net zero emissions – as opposed to true zero emissions – allows for emissions to be offset by sequestration, carbon offsets, or similar accounting measures. Our 2040 goal is true zero emissions.
Finally, it's worth noting that a zero emissions world is a highly desirable place to live. Eliminating fossil fuels and all the other greenhouse gases yields a multitude of benefits:
• Cleaner air and water
• Lower utility costs
• More nutritious food
• A more active population
• Lower healthcare costs
• Less traffic
• Fewer traffic accidents
• A greater sense of community
The Climate Center (formerly the Center for Climate Protection), the leading climate mitigation advocate in Sonoma County for well over 15 years, is calling for "…net negative emissions by 2030." Net negative emissions is a step beyond net zero emissions.
The following is a sampling of the entities that have set a target date of 2030 (or sooner) for net zero emissions or carbon neutrality:
Entity Target date
Church of England 2030
Adelaide, Australia 2025
Melbourne, Australia 2020
Copenhagen, Denmark 2025
Birmingham, England 2030
Bristol, England 2030
Liverpool, England 2030
Asheville, NC 2030
Montpelier, VT 2030
Chico, CA 2030
Hoboken, NJ 2027
Sacramento, CA 2030
Portland, ME 2030
Worcester, MA 2030
Los Angeles, CA 2030
UC System 2025
Over 700 B Corps 2030
Microsoft 2030
In addition, two of our neighbors in Sonoma County passed Climate Emergency Resolutions that clearly state a 2030 target date for net zero emissions. They are:
Santa Rosa: "…with the goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2030."
Sebastopol: "…reducing city-wide greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by no later than 2030"
And our Sonoma County Regional Climate Protection Authority (RCPA) has pledged to produce a countywide 2030 Climate Emergency Mobilization Strategy although a clear target date has not been established.
And a closing comment:
Just as a mother will spare no effort to protect her child, so must we do everything in our power to ensure a stable climate for all beings and all life. The work ahead of us at times seems impossible. But impossible is not a fact; it is a challenge.
We quote from the recently-published report titled Vision for Equitable Climate Action released by the U.S. Climate Action Network:
"There is lively, ongoing debate about the maximum achievable rate of emissions reductions. In the U.S., a 2030 target of 100% reductions would be ideal, but many experts think it is simply not possible. We should strive toward that goal but, given that authoritative voices are arguing that domestic carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced as much as 70% by 2030, we believe this is an appropriate target and should be coupled with commensurate annual targets…" [p.6]
Let us set our sights high.

What's Going on With the Crazy Horse Memorial?
The memorial to Crazy Horse in the Black Hills of South Dakota has been controversial and 64 years in the making.
"The organization is not trying to be difficult or using delaying tactics," Patrick Dobbs, spokesman for the Crazy Horse Memorial, told CNN recently. "There are project unknowns and circumstances beyond control that influence the work."
He said harsh weather and the mountain's iron content, making it tough to carve, have made the project take a long time. Though there is no deadline, so there's no rush.
Polish sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski started work on Crazy Horse in 1948 after being asked by Henry Standing Bear, who was chief of the Lakota at the time to create it. "My fellow chiefs and I would like the white man to know that the red man has great heroes, also," Standing Bear said in 1939, according to the Crazy Horse Memorial website.
But Crazy Horse descendants feel the chief didn't have the right to ask that such a thing be done. Elaine Quiver, a descendant of Crazy Horse, told Voice of America in 2003 that Lakota culture requires consensus among family members, but nobody asked his descendants.
"They don't respect our culture because we didn't give permission for someone to carve the sacred Black Hills where our burial grounds are," Quiver told Voice of America. "They were there for us to enjoy and they were there for us to pray. But it wasn't meant to be carved into images, which is very wrong for all of us. The more I think about it, the more it's a desecration of our Indian culture. Not just Crazy Horse, but all of us."
Another issue is the money. According to CNN, the nonprofit project is funded entirely by donations and admissions fees. A 2010 New York Times article reported that admission revenues that year brought in $3.8 million and donations over the five years prior totaled $19 million.
There are also visitor centers and souvenir shops at the memorial which generate revenue. Seth Big Crow, whose great grandmother was Crazy Horse's aunt, wonders whether the sculptors family has lost its way.
"When you start making money rather than to try to complete the project, that's when, to me, it's going off in the wrong direction," he told VOA in 2003.
According to the Crazy Horse Memorial website there is no completion date set for the carving. The site notes that when Ziolkowski died in 1982, he told his wife: "You must work on the mountain—but go slowly so you do it right." The site even calls it a "project that will never end" even after the carving is finally done.
When it is done, the mountain carving will be 641 feet long by 563 feet high. Crazy Horse's head alone is 87 feet tall. Currently, work is being done on the horse's head, which will be 219 feet, or 22 stories high.
To compare, the heads of Mount Rushmore, which was started in 1927 and completed in 1941 for $989,992, are 60 feet tall.

Sins of emission
TO CALL someone "otherworldly" is to suggest a lack of connection with worldly affairs. It is normally said with affection. After Monday, such an attitude should be disallowed. In the campaigning slogan, there is no Planet B. Disregard for the world that God created is more Manichaean than Christian in origin. When this is combined with high consumption, as among many Trump-supporting Evangelicals in the United States, theological error is compounded by hypocrisy. By contrast, the people who are most religious lead the simplest lives, with the smallest global footprint, because they love the world around them.
The report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, published on Monday, is calculatingly upbeat, concentrating on how it should be possible to keep global warming down to 1.5° Celsius instead of the threatened 2° or worse. When the good news still means 122 million more people pushed into extreme poverty, the undermining of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty and hunger, the additional deaths of 38,000 people annually from heat stress, 48,000 from diarrhoea, 60,000 from malaria, and 95,000 from childhood undernutrition (these projections about a 1.5°C increase are all from the IPCC report), it is terrifying to contemplate what the bad news will be if global warming continues unchecked. As it is, the area of greatest scientific uncertainty is the rate of change: cutting emissions by 45 per cent within 11 years may not be enough.
The response of national governments to the IPCC's report has been cautious so far. Fortunately, it is not all up to them. In the past few years, the economics have shifted. The succession of extreme weather events means that business now acknowledges that global warming will cost much more than measures to combat it. This should be taken together with the fact that onshore wind farms are now the cheapest energy facilities to build; that the favourable economics of electrification are transforming transport; and that employment is boosted by these new technologies. Were we not working against such a tight deadline, the Government would be able merely to support such measures, not promote them.
Because of the timing, however, the Government should step up, change its subsidy structure to favour renewable energy, cut energy use, rethink transport, support new technology, abandon fracking, and look at a host of other measures, such as carbon capture. It should do all this because it is essential, regardless of the vagaries of public opinion. On the other hand, it will act more quickly, and more willingly, if it is given encouragement by the electorate.

Q: How to "fix" this installer does not support Admin or Advertised installations I have an msi that I need to extract.  When I run msiexec /a on it, I get "this installer does not support Admin or Advertised installations".  I've read other posts on Stack Overflow stating that it's possible to tweak an .msi to allow Admin installs.  I have Super Orca, does anyone know what changes I need to make to an .msi to allow Admin installs?

A: You need to understand how this logic check is implemented and then void it out either by editing the MSI or creating a transform and applying the transform during the administrative installation.
Typically this type of check would have been implemented in the LaunchConditions table or as a Type 19 error custom action scheduled in the AdminInstallUI and AdminInstallExecute sequences.  It's hard to say how exactly without having a copy of the MSI and/or log file generated when attempting to do an admin installation.
