Developed by Uprising Games for both the iPhone and iPad, Super Soccer Champs '14 is the next incarnation of the S.S.C. franchise, with the primary differences being a marked boost in the pitch size, and a plethora of game and play improvements.
A tradition has developed around the release of each new game in the series, with a focus upon offering the players a visibly improved game play world and experience – the idea being to create an easy-to-detect and meaningful reason to justify purchasing the newest version of a game that, let's face it, changes very little from year-to-year.
Perhaps the most significant improvement this time around are the combined facts that the wizards behind the S.S.C. series have managed to keep the game play mechanics faithful to its well-established and traditional style of play while at the same time offering a meaningful and very obvious improved graphical world and graphical game play experience.
Footie fans and gamers tend to number among the most conservative sports and game aficionados in the world – they instantly identify with the colorful characters who are important to the sport and will rarely tolerate any significant change to their sport if that change alters the way that watching – and playing – makes them feel.
In the end what is perhaps the most important draw for this entry in the Super Soccer Champs game series is a significant number of improvements toits unique really old-school approach to the sport – improvements that really are improvements – the nature of which tells us two very important facts: the wizards who create the game quite obviously also play the game, and they are very likely fans of the sport.
Another factor that SSC has going for it is something that wasn't always true – its careful and successful formulation as footie in bite-sized game play chunks that is ideal for a mobile game app.
We say that this was not always true because SSC did not start out as a mobile game series – it was originally created as a standard full-sized footie game not all that different from the leading games in the genre like FIFA and PES, so its migration to iOS is one of those decisions steeled in serendipity, because it carves out a niche for the game that allows for it to be an important player in the genre without it having to compete with either FIFA or PES (which I don't have to remark would probably crush it).
Long-time footie fans will easily recognize the lineage that is present in S.S.C. '14 – the game has clearly found inspiration from classics in the genre including games like Sensible Soccer, Kick-Off, and Goal!
These are almost legendary titles in the footie realm, and the fact that SSC not only gets mentioned in the same paragraph as those titles, but draws from them certain elements of its game play mechanics and structure says a lot that is good about SSC.
That it serves partly as an homage to those well-received games, and that it is strong enough in its own right to borrow from them without being permanently altered or perceived as a "copy" of those games speaks well for both the intent and the structure of the game.
If you're not familiar with those titles, you can take it on faith that those games – very much like S.S.C. – are what you would call fast-paced and complete footie experiences.
What S.S.C. does however is take that rather exciting retro game play style and brings it to the iOS mobile gaming platform, and the next level.
The folks at developer Uprising took that process very seriously indeed, seeking out and obtaining MFI certification for the game (MFI Certification means that the product, peripheral, device, or in this case app/game is certified as Made For Iphone)
It is fair to say that while your game play and gaming experience will be very different on the larger iPad format and screen, the game was also conceived and engineered to be fully playable on the smaller iPhone platform.
The creation of the newest generation of iPhones – the iPhone 6 – its 5.5″ display screen is going to recduce the differences between the two game play experiences significantly.
With each new version of the game, the focus towards expansion means that the game offers more leagues play options as well as a deeper Career mode, along with improved graphics, sound, and game play. Those have always been the traditional focus for improvement, and with each new generation of the game those improvements have not only significantly changed its play experience, but almost always justified purchasing the new game.
Where games like FIFA sought to brand their game play experience through the use of SFX and licensed music, SSC has stuck to its established approach of keeping the player's attention tightly focused on the game play mechanics, preferring a combination of generic electro-pop music and the reactionary crowd noises as its score.
There are actually two versions of S.S.C. '14 to be found on the AppStore – the paid version whose official title is S.S.C. '14 Premium and which costs .99 cents, and a free version of the game – called simply S.S.C. '14.
They are basically the same game with the same mechanics, and the same player-pleasing crowd interaction and footie fun -and the same extensive player manager mode – with the primary difference being that in the free version the player is granted access to only a 6 match trial play, with the full mode portion and the remaining games being unlocked for pay via IAP – commonly known as In App Purchase.
We cannot begin to discuss game play in S.S.C. '14 without first talking about the various and many ways – both large and small – that the game has been improved by. For S.S.C. '14 these include (but this list is not limited to):
Faster Gameplay
Improved AI.
Improved Auto Player select system
Improved ball deflections
Improved Passing
Improved player movement, turning and momentum
Increased effects for Player Energy Levels
Larger Pitch
More teams and Leagues
New Dribble Assist feels less intrusive
New set-piece control interface
New sharper User Interface
If you are new to the series it will help you in evaluating it to be aware that the sweeping additions above compliment an even more aggressive set of improvements to the previous version of the game that included:
2 Players Action on a single iPad screen
3 player-selectable Games Speeds
A full Team Editor: Edit or make completely new custom teams
Complete Records Rewrite: The records have been revamped with historically accurate tournaments; that record only being modified by the game result from your own season.
Multiple Tournaments featuring over 200 teams.
Online play via Game Center and local link via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
Player Manager Mode: buy and sell players, manage squad energy levels.
Replay Viewer to relive those amazing goals.
Selectable difficulty level – including assisted dribbling.
Selectable match length
When you take in all of the above it is a lot easier to understand how players have declared the SSC series to be one of the most responsive to player needs and desires that has ever been made, including traditional platform footie.
Now that we have established the new and returning features, it is time to talk about game play in SSC 14. Which as it turns out is probably the easiest part of this review, a fact that is largely down to the impressive and intuitive game play control scheme combined with what may very well be the most fluid and fast passing, kicking, dribbling, and footie fun you will ever have using nothing but a pair of thumbs!
Seriously this part of the review process is normally hyperbole-free, we save the part where we begin to share our opinion for the "My Take" section, since that is where it properly belongs.
Now having said that, the game play mechanics in SSC 14 don't really lend themselves to a dry and factual description. Oh, we could offer you that – but it would sound something like this: The game play mechanics and control scheme in S.S.C. 14 is accomplished through a very sensitive corner zone set up to monitor the motion of the player's thumbs.
Now I ask you – what could you get from that to cover more than just two thumb play? Where is the spirit of the game – and this game has plenty of that to go around mind you – to be found?
So if you will forgive us, we will be suspending the usual policy of restricting opinion to the final section of the review, and freely inject it wherever it seems most fitting. Call it the spirit of the football hooligan (I have often wondered why they use the word "hooligan" and not "hoolifan" since the latter makes more sense than the former) as we see fit!
If you have ever played a real game of footie – or for that matter you have ever watched one (and some of the best games we've ever seen were high school girls footie matches – because nobody takes the game more seriously than a teenage girl) you will know how important a really skilled passing capability is for a team.
One of the best improvements to the game so far has been the passing system, which is now as fluid and fast – and as capable – as any other footie game on the market. It was that improvement among the many that ended up sticking in our mind as we played.
Let's be realistic – there is nothing more frustrating in a good footie match than coming up against a team that is expert at ball handler coverage. When you face that it becomes impossible for a really good ball handler to show off their stuff, because the defensive element of the other side is literally all over them.
That is when passing comes into its own in a footie match – and when it is done right, the ball will strategically move along the avenue of attack and not just change position over and over again. In that sense, S.S.C. has the elements – the important elements – down pat.
Now our comment about the game play mechanics stands – there is only so much you can do with two thumbs on a touchscreen, and Uprising has done that. We have said all that needs to be said in that respect.
One other major improvement has been put into the game though for some odd reason it fails to get any attention at all: goalie AI.
The new goalie system is pretty impressive. In the previous version of the game there were three sweet spots you could shoot from and the goalie simply failed to cover them. That made scoring – as long as you made the time and open zone available to yourself, pretty simple.
Now with the sweet spots covered you often really have to work to get a goal – if it sounds like we are complaining you have missed the point! Those three sweet spots get abused – but as that abuse is no longer possible, the game gets that much more fun. And we don't usually associate difficulty with fun.
The final major update to the game is about to arrive – the final update before all attention turns towards S.S.C. '15 that is. It is hard to imagine what they will be able to do to improve game play in that sequel so we won't even try – we will just enjoy playing and wait and see.
The fact that we like S.S.C. '14 is pretty obvious by what we have had to say about it so far – and speaking as a former kid who grew up on the mean streets of Byron Bay playing stick-cricket and, whenever we could get our hands on a ball, footie that pit neighborhood against neighborhood… Awe, who am I kidding?! There are no mean streets in Byron Bay – it is a bloody tourist town with hotels, recreational activities, and miles of pristine beach.
But we really did go mad for footie – and we really did play stick-cricket, and the lines were often drawn between neighborhoods as we all got together at one of the parks to play as kids. Of course that was a different era – one in which pedos in white vans with no windows did not exist, and kids could go to the park sans-adult supervision and play footie. Sigh.
The thing about that is this – I did not drag up those treasured memories of childhood for no good reason. As difficult as this will be to imagine, part of the fun to be found in S.S.C. '14 is that it triggers the same sort of us-against-them emotions that were a major element of those childhood matches.
You will easily find the desire and the satisfaction – when you win, when you pull off a particularly impressive passing set, and when you get the ball past the goalie to score, some small and distant connection to those halcyon days of youthful exuberance.
What is even better? It is pretty obvious that the wizards that created this game had no idea – none whatsoever – that it would result in creating that sort of association or effect! They were just trying to make the best footie game that they could manage – and they did.
I can honestly say that I have spent way more time playing – for review and evaluation purposes mind you – this game than is probably right.
In the process I have seen its faults – there are few (and no major bugs amazingly enough), I have seen its features (there are many), and I have come to know it as a friend.
Super Soccer Champs '14 earned a score of 9 out of 10 – losing a point over issues with the management and player acquisition system. The game play side strictly speaking would have earned a perfect 10 if they had left those parts out. Just saying.
It is impossible to assign this game an Average Admission Price – not because we could not do it if we had to, but because the fact that it costs just .99 cents makes that process pointless.
From a play and replay position, S.S.C. '14 earns a very high score – and gets a definite thumbs up in terms of whether it should be a member of your regular game play rotation schedule. As a result of its high score, high entertainment level, and high replay score, this one gets a BUY rating from us.
In terms of mobile footie apps, you will do no better.
Parents: There is nothing here to worry about in terms of content, however we should point out that the game includes multi-player elements, and it is rather addictive – so younger players may need to be observed so that they do not over-do it.

The A.I. Age
Starbucks presses social media onward
Originally published April 27, 2013 at 8:00 pm Updated April 27, 2013 at 10:01 pm
Melissa Allison
Back in the social-media stone age, about 2005, customers who yearned to interact with Starbucks could talk to a barista or read quotes on its coffee cups.
"Love wins," read quote No. 257, from television and radio host Tavis Smiley.
"Evolution is beautiful," said No. 35, creating a bit of a stink in anti-evolution circles.
Now fans interact with the world's largest coffee-shop chain without even visiting a cafe. They just log on to their favorite social-media site and there's Starbucks or Frappuccino or Starbucks Indonesia chatting away.

Meet the marrot, Arby's answer to plant-based 'meats' VIEW
We've just lived through the greatest period of restaurant growth in U.S. history. Here's why it's ending.
One of the most successful brands using social media, Starbucks wins more than a popularity contest with its vast numbers of online fans. The sites have become an important way to advertise daily and, occasionally, drive huge numbers of customers into stores.
The fifth-largest brand on Facebook, with 34 million fans, Starbucks trails only Coca-Cola, Disney, Red Bull and Converse, according to SocialBakers.com.
Starbucks executives figure that through Facebook fans and their friends alone, they have access to nearly 1 billion people — a seventh of the world's population.
On Twitter, its 3.6 million followers rank it fourth, behind Samsung Mobile, iTunes Music and NASA.
And that's just for the main Starbucks name. The chain has dozens more pages and handles for Frappuccino, Seattle's Best Coffee, Tazo Tea, other brands and foreign markets.
There are even "Starbucks Partners" pages for the chain's employees, more than half of whom in the United States are 25 years old or younger. A recent Starbucks Partners photo on Instagram and Facebook touted a California store where three workers made 40 drinks in 10 minutes — for a nearby zombie movie shoot, naturally.
Fans into dollars
Although having followers is important, the real test is interaction and sales, and Starbucks has been winning there as well.
"Starbucks was holding Facebook promotions before most restaurants even figured out this was a space they needed to be in," said Alicia Kelso, senior editor at Networld Media Group in Louisville, Ky., parent company of FastCasual.com and other online trade publications that track the restaurant business.
Starbucks' first big social-media promotion came in 2009, about a year after it launched on Facebook and Twitter. It offered a free pastry with drink purchase before 10:30 a.m.
A million people showed up, proving "the channels are not just about engaging and telling a story and connecting, but they can have a material impact on the business," said Alexandra Wheeler, who's in charge of Starbucks' global digital marketing.
It is difficult to quantify a brand's interaction quotient, but the site Klout.com tries by using more than 400 pieces of information from various social-media networks.
Klout gives Starbucks a score of 83, better than Peet's Coffee at 77 but below Dunkin' Donuts at 86 and McDonald's at 92.
Not all interaction is welcome, however.
A McDonald's campaign backfired last year when it tried to use Twitter to highlight the farmers from whom it buys produce.
Although McDonald's used the "#McDStories" Twitter hashtag just twice, the Twitterverse quickly adopted it to post items denouncing and ridiculing it.
"My brother finding a fake finger nail in his fries. #McDStories," tweeted someone with the handle PrettyTallerr.
Staffing social media
Posting on social-media sites used to be a one-person job at Starbucks.
Now five people are on the job, veterans of social media from Microsoft, the Seattle Art Museum and the Phoenix Suns.
Their charge is to "be authentic" and "be the best barista online."
That means writing pithy posts like the recently popular, "Sometimes a good cappuccino and a good book are all you need."
It also means being on top of popular culture.
Sometimes, there may be a reference that resonates with an older crowd, like a photograph on Dr. Seuss' birthday of his cat's striped hat drawn on a Starbucks coffee cup.
Often it's something for younger people, responding, for example, to singer and actress Demi Lovato's lament that Starbucks baristas do not know her name with a photograph of a specially decorated cup just for her.
Well-planned posts
The posts are not always so spontaneous.
Starbucks' schedule for social-media topics looks like the departing-flights board at the airport.
Some weeks it focuses on Evolution Fresh juices, other weeks on its global month of (volunteer) service.
The whole social-media team takes photos for posts. Paige Dell'Armi, who has posted for Starbucks for about a year, even keeps backdrops tucked under her desk.
One recent weekday, she and others on the team shot photos and video of another headquarters employee, Major Cohen, making coffee in a French press. The post highlighted how to brew the perfect cup at home.
Whatever the focus, posts on each platform are relatively spare — maybe one a day, sometimes fewer.
"They're not cluttering up your news feed," said Kelso, of Networld Media Group. "That's so important, because people do not want to have brands in their news feeds."
Starbucks also does not push products or causes too hard, she said.
Its posts are just as likely to be a smiley face, an accidental tweet that in 2011 generated more than 1,500 retweets.
Often they call to mind the quotes on cups from way back in the mid-2000s, some of which are preserved on a Starbucks photo board at Pinterest.
There are new, noncup quotes there as well, like, "Keep calm and make coffee."

Providers jeopardize deals as they rush into M&A talks
Healthcare executives often point to a persistent financial pressure that has accelerated strategies to cut costs, grow revenue or potentially scale up. That pressure may be causing providers to hastily enter mergers or acquisitions without the proper due diligence, some M&A experts say.
The number of failed deals hasn't increased significantly, said Robert Creighton, managing partner at Farrell Fritz who focuses on mergers and acquisitions. About a quarter of announced deals don't come to fruition, a ratio that has stayed relatively constant, he said.
Baylor Scott & White Health and Memorial Hermann Health System called off their merger in February, about five months after the Texas-based health systems signed a letter of intent.
Atrium Health Foundation (formerly Carolinas HealthCare System) and UNC Health Care scuttled their deal last year, about six months after the letter of intent was signed. Just this month, Atrium entered into another agreement to merge, this time with Wake Forest Baptist Health and Wake Forest University.
Cone Health and Randolph Health, also based in North Carolina, called off their deal in May 2018 after more than a year of talks as Cone Health was unwilling to "scale back projects or put them on hold," Cone Health executives said.
"More often than not it's related to a mismatch of expectations or a clash of culture," Creighton said.

In any nation, there must be some form of communication between the unit that governs society and the people who make up that society. It is only when citizens have at least some information about government programs and plans that they can decide upon the wisdom and validity of the reasoning behind the actions of political leaders.
As the size and influence of a government increases, the need for adequate communication becomes more urgent. Communication, to use author Harold Laswell's famous formula, is all about "who says what, in which channel, to whom, with what effect." Most government communication involves only the first three parts of the formula. The important point here is that for communication to take place, four elements must be present in the process: the sender of a message, the message itself, the receiver and feedback. "With what effect" implies some sort of feedback, to determine whether the message sent in the attempt at communication was received and understood.
There is insufficient evidence to conclude that feedback mechanisms are built into most government communication systems, and that is certainly true in the Caribbean and Latin America.
Nevertheless, throughout the developing world, there is an increasingly strong need for the organized dissemination of government information. Several factors have led to the growing need for effective government communication, including:
* Increasing complexity of society.
* Increasing citizen demands.
* Increasing public scrutiny.
Giving information, however, is not communication. Effective, sustained government communication campaigns should start with well-designed objectives largely aimed at gaining the active cooperation of citizens in action programs (for example, soil conservation); compliance in regulatory programs (for example, public health issues such as immunization of small children); and voter support for the incumbent administration's policies (for example, a free market economy). The extent to which these objectives are routinely met is debatable, generally speaking. Looking specifically at the Latin American and Caribbean region, they are overwhelmingly ambitious.
The reality is that most of the impetus for government information programs stems from the need to garner public support for the money and measures that must be voted in Parliament. But it is undeniable that there is insufficient information, and where it is provided, it generally lacks the breadth and depth of an effective public education program.
"Advertising" government
Bernard Rubin, author of Media, Politics and Democracy (Oxford University Press, 1977), maintains that governments have a responsibility for "advertising" themselves--conducting a reporting program that attempts to describe the government's role, function, programs and policies. Governments are, in effect, a great repository of facts, much of which could be of great value to citizens--if they knew about these facts and how to get to them. Much of this information simply never has been made available at all. In other words, the public has a right to know and governments have an obligation to tell, but that obligation has, generally speaking, not been fulfilled.
A second role of communication in government is that of the salesman or persuader. Rubin argues that the most neglected aspect of public administration is salesmanship. He speaks of the two primary roles as reporting and persuading; certain administrative measures will not succeed without such activity. In short, government may need to tell its citizens why as well as what, and sometimes one branch may feel it must persuade the citizenry to bring pressures to bear on another branch to accomplish its own objectives. This persuasive role, in a sense, attempts to force the citizen into a full, active partnership with government.
A third role grows out of the increasing demand for a two-way communication program between government and its publics. Telling and selling are both one-way techniques; there is also a need to learn what those governed want, need and like. Rubin lists publicity, advertising, propaganda, promotion and public opinion research as the major necessary communication functions of modern democratic government. While the dividing lines between the first four may be blurred, the last stands clearly apart as a different sort of a role.
Governments have developed ways to reach their publics when they want to talk. The challenge now is to help citizens find a nonconfrontational way to talk to governments when they have something to say. When a government receives and reacts to this communication with its publics, the information, judgments, frustrations and attitudes that come out in the open often affect programming and change the agenda of government. There is ample evidence of this in the politics of the developing world.
The problem raises anew and with fresh urgency a simple but critically important question posed by Aristotle centuries ago: "The environment is complex and man's political capacity is simple. Can a bridge be built between them?"
Without doubt, Aristotle's bridge must have as its foundation informative, candid, continuous reporting by government, and more accessible communication channels to government for all citizens.
Without sufficient understanding of the communication process and the value of feedback, there is a slim chance of this happening. There are those who maintain that the political directorate deliberately keeps citizens ignorant, so that their ability to ask informed questions is severely limited. The result may be a greater degree of latitude for the political elite. This, however, is a somewhat cynical view, which gives no credit to those of the elite who genuinely wish to maintain open lines of communication, nor does it contribute to satisfying the need for accord between civil society and the state in the development process.
Berl Francis, a former vice president and manager of the Jamaican branch of Peter Martin Associates, later formed Communications Consultants Ltd., now the leading PR firm in Jamaica. Her success in PR eventually led her to academia, where she established the IBM/UWI Quality Circle, a leadership development program for students at the University of the West Indies.

Dunkin' Donuts expands non-traditional presence
Dunkin' Donuts opened 62 new non-traditional locations across the country in 2015. Part of this coast-to-coast expansion included three new locations in California, including one non-traditional restaurant at the Los Angeles International Airport in Terminal 4, as well as at the Naval Medical Center and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, both based in San Diego.
Dunkin' Donuts' non-traditional offerings are located at airports and other mass transportation terminals, casinos and resorts, hospitals, stadiums, grocery stores, military bases, and colleges and universities. Additional highlights of locations that Dunkin' Donuts opened in 2015 include:
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport – Concourse B
Fort Hood – Kileen, Texas
Madison Square Garden – New York City
Regis College – Weston, Mass.
Valencia College – Orlando, Fla.
"Non-traditional units help introduce the Dunkin' Donuts brand to new guests and markets nationwide, while also providing our existing customer base with greater access to our products as they embark on their daily activities," said Chris Burr, director of non-traditional development, Dunkin' Brands. "As we grow in 2016 and beyond, we will continue to expand our presence in this sector and conveniently deliver high-quality food and beverages in a welcoming environment, quickly, and at affordable prices."
In 2015, Dunkin' Donuts also added a multi-brand location with sister brand Baskin-Robbins at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, and will open a multi-brand location this year at the Longworth House of Representatives Office Building in Washington, D.C. Multi-brand restaurants that combine Dunkin' Donuts with Baskin-Robbins under one roof offer even more opportunity to drive traffic during various day parts – from early morning breakfast and coffee all the way to after-dinner ice cream cones and ice cream cakes.
Dunkin' Donuts will continue its non-traditional expansion in 2016. Planned upcoming openings in the first part of the year include:
Fiat - Chrysler Headquarters Building – Auburn Hills, Mich.
Port Authority Bus Terminal – New York City
A second location in Terminal A at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
Great Wolf Lodge – Sixth location opening in Garden Grove, Calif.
Dunkin' Donuts has been strategically expanding in contiguous markets across the country with a long-term goal of having more than 17,000 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in the United States alone, and this expansion includes alternative points of distribution. Dunkin' Donuts currently has more than 750 non-traditional locations, including college campuses, mass transit stations, travel centers, supermarkets, entertainment centers and military bases.

Once you have chosen the right offers that work for you, you need to start promoting right away; don't waste any time. As soon as you start getting traffic to your ads you will start to see your profits grow. If you already have a website that is a great place to start promoting you offers.
A general rule of thumb I've found while learning about CPA marketing: the more information an offer requires, the less likely people will take the time to do so.
The basic idea, with cpa marketing is that an advertiser will pay you whenever you get someone to perform a specific action. Since we are talking about cpa marketing, let's see how cpaideal.com relates to it. Hence the name cost per action.
Finding the right market and getting targeted people to it is key. You should know which offers are right for certain group of people. Joining a reliable affiliate network is a good start. You don't want to waste your time with a company that can't pay you after you put fourth the effort.
Instead of looking at hundreds of websites to figure it all out, wouldn't you rather it all be in one place? That's what Zero Friction Marketing is. The planning, the market research and the time it takes to do it have all been put in one place for you. Packaged all as one.
At the end of the day, you want results and you want profits. You do not want to waste your time with a company that cannot pay you after all your efforts to push for their offers.
Expand your lists to the fullest that you can. Having more people in your database provides more opportunities to offer more products to a more diverse crowd.

Q: Swapping problem for Rails app on slicehost I have a Rails 2.3.8 app hosted and running on slicehost (256M). I am not familiar at all with the back-end, I basically followed the steps from the slicehost tutorials to install Apache. The memory usage being very high, I then changed my Apache conf file to reduce the MaxClient number to 10... but my slice is still swapping.

I'm not sure what to do next... I could upgrade to a larger slice but for now I have almost no traffic on this app, so I think it's more a problem with my configuration or maybe my code?
Any concrete recommendations would be welcome!
Thanks

A: It looks like your rails app is using all your available memory. I would recommend three things:

*

*Upgrade the memory on your server. 256MB is not very much for a Rails app. Going to 512 may alleviate your problem. If that solves it, you then need to consider the additional cost ($18/mo) vs how much time it will take to track down performance issues.

*Profile your application to figure out which requests are consuming the most memory. This is likely going to be places where you're finding a lot of records and possibly including some associated tables too. There are a couple of tools out there to help you narrow down possible trouble areas. I've used oink but there are definitely others. Once you figure out where the problems are, you can make some tweaks to try and reduce the memory usage.

*Assuming you're using Passenger with Apache, you can reduce the number of concurrent requests in the Passenger config file. This might be useful for that https://serverfault.com/questions/15350/running-ruby-on-rails-app-on-apache-passenger-to-much-memory

A: In short, 256MB is tight for a Rails application. You did not really give any specifics on how you are running rails, but I assume you are using Apache with the Passenger module. The Passenger module can be configured on how many instances it keeps running. You have 4 ruby instances running under the web-app account. I guess those come from Passenger. In the configuration, you can limit how many instances Passenger starts. This will reduce the memory requirements.
On the other hand, when working with only 256MB, and when you are only hosting 1 rails application, it might be better to go for another setup. The setup that I used myself before was an Nginx web server, and a mongrel cluster with 2 mongrels (on 192MB, and application was only for testing purposes). Basically that means that at any one time, you can process 2 (and only 2) rails requests in parallel. The setup is maybe a bit harder than Apache+Passenger, but definitely not difficult. I think that is a more performant solution when you stick with the 256MB.

8th Grade took a 3 day field trip to Atlanta April 19-21. Some of the activities included the following: CNN Studio tour, World of Coke, Atlanta Aquarium, The Center for Civil and Human Rights Museum, College Football Hall of Fame, and to the Fox Theater to watch the Broadway show, "Matilda".
Thirty-seven eight grade students from Furman Middle School attended the first Manufacturing and Technology Expo, on Friday, March 31, 2017 at Central Carolina Technical College's Advanced Manufacturing Technology Training Center, at 853 Broad St. They were greeted by representatives of 22 regional manufacturing and technology firms who shared information with students that a four-year degree isn't the only pathway to success. The students got to see and participate in interactive displays and exhibits during an industrial fair, take part in a tour of various Central Carolina Technical College course programs, listen to career and motivational speakers and even play a manufacturing-related game along the way. Manufacturing careers pay excellent wages and are filled with technology and robotics. They are different from some of the less attractive and often-dirty traditional plant jobs of the past. Comments from two of our students: Dalton Hodge was impressed with Thompson's display. "Today, I learned about everything to do with welding, like the new helmets they use and why they use them to really protect your eyes," Hodge said. Tia Follin wants to pursue a health-care career after school and was impressed with Palmetto Health Tuomey's display. "I learned how they help people and different jobs in the nursing field," Follin said.

Was Kathryn Dennis Fired from 'Southern Charm'? Reports
Moving on? Season 9 of Southern Charm has reportedly started filming in Charleston, South Carolina; however, not all of the cast members Bravo fans have come to know and love will be returning. Keep reading to find out why Kathryn Dennis was reportedly fired from the long-running show, what to expect from season 9 and more.
Was Kathryn Dennis Fired from 'Southern Charm'?
According to multiple reports, Kathryn was allegedly fired as a full-time cast member after season 8 of Southern Charm; however, Deadline suggests that the OnlyFans content creator merely got demoted and will still appear as a guest star on the reality series throughout season 9, which began filming in January 2023.
Fans of the Bravolebrity voiced their opinions about the casting shakeup, noting that Kathryn served as one of the main story drivers and brought tons of drama and excitement to the show over the years. Most notably, the TV personality's tumultuous relationship with former cast member Thomas Ravenel – with whom she shares two children and is nearly 30 years his junior – was documented from season 1 to season 6, when Thomas exited the show amid sexual assault allegations.
"Kathryn helped make SC, she was treated terribly by some cast members who aren't on the show anymore, she deserves to be treated well," wrote one fan on Instagram, while another added, "KD [Kathryn Dennis] gave all the girls a storyline, someone to talk about let's see if they can step it up, they've been riding her coattails for too long."
When Did Kathryn Dennis Join 'Southern Charm'?
Though Kathryn originally appeared on Southern Charm as a guest star in season 1, she was promoted to a full-time cast member for season 2 after it was revealed that she and Thomas welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Kensie, in March 2014. They later welcomed son Saint in November 2015.
After her rocky relationship with the former politician came to end, fans saw Kathryn's romance with season 8 newcomer, Chleb Ravenell, play out onscreen; however, the couple decided to call it quits mid-season after the former college athlete admitted that filming the reality show "sped up" their split.

"I was like, maybe this will bring us together," Chleb told Us Weekly in July 2022. "Because I've never been on a show before. And she's telling me, 'It's gonna break us up.' I was like, 'Nah, nah, we're gonna grow closer.' [But] it broke us apart."
What Is Kathryn Dennis' Net Worth?
Kathryn's overall net worth is estimated to be around $800,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The outlet also reports that the southern socialite made around $25,000 per episode of Southern Charm; however, she will likely not bring home the same paycheck after being demoted to a guest star.
Will Paige DeSorbo Appear on Season 9 of 'Southern Charm'?
While season 9 reportedly began filming in January 2023, fans have been wondering if Summer House and Winter House star Paige DeSorbo – who went public with her relationship with Southern Charm OG cast member Craig Conover in October 2021 – will appear on the show.
Paige made her Southern Charm debut during season 8, and since she and the lawyer are still going strong, fans can likely expect the fashionista to make a few appearances throughout the forthcoming season.
"Everyone that Craig hangs out with could not be nicer to me," Paige previously told Us Weekly. "I've met pretty much everyone."
'Southern Charm' Season 9 Premiere Date
Unfortunately, Bravo has yet to release a premiere date for season 9 of Southern Charm. Previous seasons can be streamed on Peacock.

Ready to take your motorcycle on the open road? We'll walk you through the steps to get your Hawaii motorcycle license with an extra emphasis on safe driving.
You'll need to be familiar with the Hawaii Driver's Manual. Think you know the material?
Under Hawaii DOT guidelines, anyone who drives a motorcycle must have a Class 2 motorcycle license or motorcycle instruction permit.
Applicants under the age of 18 must satisfy all of the requirements of Hawaii's Graduated License Law and earn a Driver Education Student Completion Certificate and a Behind-the-Wheel Student Completion Certificate before you can schedule a road test. The final step is to pass the motorcycle skills test where you will demonstrate your competency in motorcycle operation.
Hawaii will waive your skills test and issue you a license if you have a motorcycle skills test certification for waiver issued by the Hawaii Motorcycle Safety Education Program or a valid motorcycle license or endorsement from a state that uses the motorcycle operator skill test. These courses last anywhere from two to six weeks and include classroom instruction as well as driver training in a controlled, off-street environment. When you successfully complete this course, you will be eligible for your motorcycle driver's license without having to take your state's road test.
The Hawaii DMV requires that all applicants must pass a written motorcycle knowledge test on traffic signs, motor vehicle laws and safe driving techniques. If you fail the exam, some states require you to wait until at least until the next day to take the test again and charge a re-examination fee.
All motorcyclists are encouraged to study for this written test so you don't take a chance on standing in line at the DMV Office only to go home empty-handed. Test your motorcycle safety and driving knowledge and take our Hawaii motorcycle practice test today!
Once your licensing requirements have been met, a Class 2 endorsement will be added to your driver's license. Remember... the safe operation of a motorcycle requires practiced skill, knowledge, and a respectful understanding of the limitations imposed by the operator, the machine, and the environment.


My oldest son is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. He is turing 5 in June and I am planning his birthday party. There will be 2 other kids there with peanut allergies, but no other known allergies. My list of snacks so far includes Pirate Booty, Veggie Straws, Pop Chips, and Goldfish crackers. I have tried googling, but there is something wrong with my computer and none of my searches are working. I guess it is a virus, but no matter what I search for, when I click the link it goes to a random page and not the one I need. Anyway, does anyone know if these snacks are all safe? Also, if I make the cake is there anything I should watch out for? I bake from scratch, not mixes. Are things like cocoa powder safe? I also want to make dessert cups, some with blue Jello, whipped cream, and swedish fish and others with vanilla pudding, "sand" made from crushed vanilla waffers or graham crackers, and Teddy Grahams. Are there safe brands of all those things? Brands that are known to NOT be safe? I am still getting used to reading labels (it has been 2 months now, when will this get easier???) and it seems like most do not give enough information. I was going to make a list of everything then go to the store and check labels for everything and then call about any I am still not sure about, but I thought I would check here first and go ahead n check a few items off my list as safe or unsafe.
EmilyAnn, first-- the most important thing-- happy birthday to your DS!
Next, yes, it sounds to me as though sticking with Kraft/Nabisco and Keebler brands for most of the things you have listed would be safe for most people with peanut and tree nut allergy-- assuming, as you already know, that the labels read safe. The prepackaged snacks you've got listed are things that I've heard others refer to as "go-to" snacks-- I'd ask about them up in manufacturers, but presumably you use them regularly, yes? Another idea for pudding is Kozy Shack.
I'd ask the two nut-allergic families what their comfort is with the food, though-- just make a note that your DS is also nut allergic, and ask if they plan to have their kids eat the party food, and if so, should brands X, Y, and Z be okay with them.
I hardly notice it now, honestly. DD was recently AMAZED when we ran into some friends at the grocery store-- "Mom-- it's WEIRD, they look at the prices but not the labels!! We spend a ton more time looking at the labels on everything! Is that how everyone else shops??" She's never known another way.
EmilyAnn - regarding your google searches that bring you to some weird page, first scan your whole computer with your antivirus software. If you don't have an antivirus software, you can download Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast. Both are free and very good. Then download and run a free program called 'Malwarebytes." You can get it on either download.com or pctools.com. If you still have problems, then you should download and run "Combofix." I work for a computer company; we do these all day long.
I only have a pa daughter who is almost 18 (not tna), but cocoa powder is safe. Your snacks sound fine to me. We've relied on labels for 15 years. She's off the charts allergic, but hasn't had a reaction since she's 3. It takes me longer to go grocery shopping because of all the label reading, but that's the deal. I bought an ice cream maker, and we make our own. I make most desserts from scratch, but my daughter really never developed a sweet tooth because she couldn't have much in the sweets department besides tootsie rolls.
Have you checked out Peanutfreeplanet.com (they also have tree-nut free stuff) or Vermont Nut Free Chocolates? You could order some special birthday treats from them.
I guess I just worry the most about labels that do not mention nuts at all. I don't know if that means they are nut free or not. Like the box of Ritz crackers says "Contains wheat and soy" and that is all, but I swear there was a glob of somethng on one of the crackers that looked and smelled just like peanut butter!
I've heard of that happening with Ritz before. We had a thread about it at one of our previous sites. If I remember correctly, the company investigated and determined that it was cracker dough. I trust full sized Rits, but not the mini ones and definitely not any of the sandwich ones.
I've seen that on Ritz. They said its dough. I can't bring myself to eat them.
I agree that you should check with the other families to get their comfort zones. Happy birthday to your.son!!!

Nottinghamshire Marriage Licences (1577-1700)
Nottingham Archdeaconry, which was almost coextensive with the county of Nottingham, lay in the diocese and province of York, but it had substantially independent jurisdiction for both probate and the issuing of marriage licences. These are abstracts of the archdeaconry marriage licences: they usually state the groom's address, occupation, age, and condition; the bride's address, age and condition; and the names of the churches or parishes at which it was intended the marriage would be celebrated. Not all licences led to marriages. Where the age given is 21, it should be construed as '21 or over'. There was no obligation for the marriage to take place at the parish suggested, but the licence would only be valid within the county. These abstracts have been annotated with extra information found on the marriage bonds. 26 Nottinghamshire parishes (Beckingham, Darlton, Dunham, Eaton, North Leverton, Ragnall, Rampton, South Wheatley, Cropwell Bishop, Bleasby, Blidworth, Calverton, Caunton, Edingley, Farnsfield, Halloughton, Holme, Kirklington, Morton, North Muskham, Norwell, Oxton, South Muskham, Southwell, Upton and Woodborough) lay within the small peculiar jurisdiction of Southwell, which issued its own licences: abstracts of these for the period 1588 to 1754 are also included here.
CHESHER. Cost: £4.00.
Masters and Apprentices (1732)

It is springtime in Alaska, and the U.S. Geological Survey team is gearing up for polar bear capturing. The scientists locate bears from a helicopter, tranquilize them, give them tattoo ID numbers and tags, and collect data such as height, weight, and body fat measurements and samples such as blood, hair, feces, and even teeth. For more than forty-five years, scientists have been capturing bears in order to get information. What has this information been telling scientists about polar bears and our changing global climate?

Concerns raised about Beach Blast Off
Beach commissioners to decide whether to keep or change event
Sheldon Gardner
sgardner@staugustine.com
St. Augustine Beach officials are asking commissioners to decide whether to keep Beach Blast Off, the city's New Year's Eve fireworks event that draws thousands, and whether to change it to bring in more revenue.
That discussion is expected at Monday's City Commission meeting, which begins at 6 p.m. at City Hall.
The event began in 2006, according to City Manager Max Royle. Volunteers used to do much of the organization, but the city took on a larger role as the event grew. Now the city's event planner, Hala Laquidara, plans the event. The city also pays for insurance, sells alcohol directly through volunteers, and handles security and other logistics.
The event is held in the Pier Park area, with concerts, food, alcohol, games and toy vendors. The city bills it as a family event.
A major concern for the city is keeping the big crowds safe. Because tickets aren't sold to get in, it's hard to judge exactly how many people attend. However, St. Augustine Beach Police Chief Robert Hardwick said officials guessed around 25,000 people attended the most recent event. In years when the weather has been perfect, the crowd has probably been as large as about 30,000, he said.
As the crowds grow, the event becomes harder to secure. The beach uses help from the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, the St. Augustine Police Department, the Florida Highway Patrol and St. Johns County Fire Rescue to keep the event safe, Hardwick said.
"We have to request a lot of additional manpower," he said.
Safety concerns include things like mass shootings and people driving vehicles into crowds, and police prepare for that, Hardwick said.
Right now the city doesn't reimburse outside agencies for their time because it falls under the mutual-aid agreement local agencies have with each other, he said. But Hardwick wants that to change.
"I think if we're going to do the event the exact same size it has been, I'll recommend we have to reimburse these agencies," Hardwick said.
He estimated it would cost about $20,000-$25,000 to cover the cost of his own department's work at the event plus reimbursing other agencies.
In its most recent year, without having to pay those reimbursements, the event still lost money.
The proceeds for the most recent event were $54,628, and the expenses were $55,027.98, for a loss of about $399.98, according to the city's Chief Financial Officer Melissa Burns.
As for concerns about the event, City Manager Max Royle said Hardwick is not alone.
"Some of the rest of us have concerns about putting a large number of people in a relatively small space. And the money. It's getting more and more expensive," he said.
Mayor Undine George said there's community support for the event. She said she supports keeping it and discussing ways to save or make more money, such as charging for parking and reducing insurance costs by allowing vendors to handle alcohol sales.
"If we want to find a solution, then we will," she said. "Stage one is find out if there's consensus among the commission to keep the event."

A PASSION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY
Stephen Hyde has photography in his blood.
His great-grandfather was the eminent Victorian photographer PH Emerson.
Many of Stephen's portraits are now in the permanent collection at The National Portrait Gallery in London
Read more about Stephen Hyde's great grandfather, the Victorian photographer PH Emerson
While studying for his history degree at London University Stephen picked up a camera and started photographing all around him. Before long he was spending long nights developing black-and-white prints and hanging them up to dry in the red glow of the now forgotten darkroom lights.
Perhaps his interest in photography should be no surprise as his great-grandfather was the eminent Victorian photographer P H Emerson. He is an acknowledged expert on PHE, having written the foreword to a book on him, provided a voice-over to an exhibition at The Getty in Los Angeles and appeared on several television programmes about his illustrious forebear.
Immediately after graduating Stephen set about building a career of his own in photography, working as an assistant while at the same time photographing writers for book jackets and it wasn't long before his work was featuring in the pages of The Sunday Times magazine and other national publications. Many of his portraits from this era are now in the permanent collection at The National Portrait Gallery in London and he also featured in Twenty for Today, a major exhibition at the NPG.
More recently, Stephen has specialised in photographing hotels and resorts bringing a level of professionalism and vision which comes from a lifetime of dedication to high quality image making.
Stephen has appeared on BBC News 24 as an industry specialist, is married with two gorgeous daughters and outside photography loves cricket (MCC and Vagabonds CC), squash and skiing.
Stephen Hyde is a member of The Association of Photographers in London.

The August H. Bergman House is a historic building located in Newton, Iowa, United States. Bergman was an investor in several washing machine companies, including Maytag. He was also a member of the Iowa Senate between 1922 and 1930. While there he was responsible for establishing the gasoline tax to support upgrading and paving the roads in the state. This is the only known example of a Mission Revival house designed by the prominent Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot & Bird. It was built by R. P. Rasmussen for $17,000 in 1909. It features a hipped red tile roof, stucco walls, stone trim, belvedere, Mission-shaped dormers, broad eaves, and a full-length single-story porch with a pergola.

The house was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. In 2020, it was included as a contributing property in the First Avenue East Historic District.

Plans to Make Bruce Lee's Silent Flute into a Series
bruceleedaily.com
Entrepreneur Jason Kothari has acquired the rights to The Silent Flute, a movie script co-written by Bruce Lee which Lee biographer Matthew Polly has described as "the most ambitious and avant-garde kung fu screenplay ever written." Kothari plans to adapt the idea into a limited series.
Lee originally created the script along with his students, screenwriter Stirling Silliphant and actor James Coburn, to be his first major role in Hollywood films, though Coburn was to star as the hero who goes on a mystical journey to acquire "the Bible of Martial Arts." The movie Circle of Iron, starring David Carradine and loosely based on The Silent Flute, was made into a film several years after Lee's death but proved a critical and commercial failure.
Kothari, who previously owned the comic book company Valiant Entertainment, has hired screenwriter John Fusco to serve as writer and executive producer. Fusco is a long-time martial artist and practitioner of Lee's jeet kune do style who created the Netflix series Marco Polo and wrote the screenplay for the Jackie Chan/Jet Li film The Forbidden Kingdom.

Washington (AFP) - Global terror attacks soared by a third in 2014 with an 81 percent spike in the number of deaths, the United States said Friday in a grim annual report.
"The number of terrorist attacks in 2014 increased 35% and total fatalities increased 81% compared to 2013, largely due to activity in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Nigeria," the report says, adding the civil war in Syria was a significant factor driving instability.
In total, there were 13,463 attacks in 2014 which killed 32,727 people, up on 9,700 assaults in 2013 in which 17,800 died.
The sharp jump in the number of attacks, in which a further 34,700 people were injured in some 95 countries, was largely due to activity in Iraq, Afghanistan and Nigeria, the report says.
Kidnappings also increased three-fold around the world with more than 9,400 people taken hostage, three times as many as in 2013.
