Fearless Predictions for 2022
Dec 27, 2021 | Business
"The Great Resignation" is still making headlines across America and around the globe. A year ago, we hinted at it in Prediction #2 in our blog for 2021 trends, but candidly, we didn't quite foresee the mass exodus it has turned out to be.
As we prepare to turn the page on another year, our oracle sets his gaze upon 2022.
Here are three fearless predictions for business in the New Year.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION and BELONGING
America was experiencing a peak in social justice activism right before the Covid pandemic began. The driving forces that frustrate minority groups are still around, even when the 24-hour news cycle focuses on other headlines. If, and when, the Coronavirus is no longer the lead story, America will return to unfinished business concerning diversity and equity in the workplace.
President Biden issued two Executive Orders in the first six months of holding office to affirm racial justice and civil rights for all and to ensure that the Federal government will "be a model for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility" in its hiring practices.
For publicly traded companies, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced significant revisions to its reporting designed to "improve disclosures for investors." Following the paraphrased Peter Drucker adage, "What gets measured gets done," HR departments will be asked to provide more documentation on affirmative actions regarding recruitment, promotion, and pay among underserved communities.
"I am particularly supportive of the increased focus on human capital disclosures," says SEC Chairman Jay Clayton, "which for various industries and companies can be an important driver of long-term value."
Companies are encouraged to design new recruitment processes that focus on underrepresented groups being evaluated by a diverse hiring panel to improve opportunities for individuals who have been adversely affected in the past. This calls for appeals to broader talent pools and a greater sensitivity to detect bias in the selection process. For example, people with neurocognitive differences are often dismissed in the screening process because conventional interview questions can seem vague and confusing to them. However, neurodivergent employees possess gifts and perspectives that can benefit operations in many work environments. Employers should seek first to identify the candidate's skillset and then offer adaptations and specialized training to prepare the neurodiverse employee to thrive in their new work environment.
Recruitment and selection are only a part the equation in DEIB. Diverse workplaces are normalizing conversations about what it means for employees of all ethnic, gender, and religious groups to feel included and psychologically safe at work. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) bring coworkers together in a safe place to talk openly about what could be done to improve work conditions for marginalized groups. Often, in this marketplace of ideas, new leadership talent emerges, which contributes to another component of DEIB; fairness in promotion and compensation.
In addition to the internal communication and processes surrounding DEIB, corporations will continue to craft external statements on social justice as well as social responsibility initiatives.
TECHNOLOGY and INFORMATION
Business will continue to lean into technology upgrades to coordinate the efforts of remote work groups. Since water cooler conversations are no longer possible in the virtual environment, social apps like Slack, GroupMe and MS Teams will connect co-workers for work-related and non-work-related conversations. One caveat: friendly banter can easily be misconstrued without tone, facial expressions or body language adding context to the message. Misunderstandings should be clarified quickly with a phone conversation or video call to maintain good rapport.
Cloud-based collaboration, project management tools, and automations will continue to streamline operations in all facets of business by reducing overlap and duplication of efforts. Companies who have not included IT in the C-suite before now may be looking to add virtual/fractional CIOs next year. Like other skilled positions, the talent pool is not geographically bound to the company's headquarters. Who is as apt to handle tasks and overcome challenges via networking as your IT expert?
Video libraries and virtual conferences will replace live training sessions in the onboarding process. Companies continue to build out training materials in short, digestible video clips which new hires can access by PC or mobile device from home, the office, or anywhere. Virtual trainings prove to be easier to host and more cost effective, and video-on-demand accommodates all employees' schedules.
AGILITY and ADAPTABILITY
Assuming cases from Covid variants are eventually slowed to manageable levels, companies will have to define "the new normal" in a post-Covid world.
What will it look like when an employee who's worked from home for nearly the past two years gets re-immersed into the workplace? Time and tasks, both personal and professional, have blended fluidly for the remote worker. Will the office afford the same rhythms of energy management, shifting between producing and recharging at the employee's choosing? How much patience will peers practice with co-workers whose cadence is out of sync with theirs? HR managers may find it necessary to review soft skills again to promote harmony among employees who have not experienced the friction of working in a community for months.
In 2021, America experienced a great movement among workers. Many exited the workforce, but many found new employment opportunities. Some are yet to have a face-to-face interaction with their peers. Some organizations may decide that fully remote teams make the most sense and never return to a central location, even if it were determined "safe" to do so. These companies will revise their systems for onboarding and performance management to accommodate a workforce that is distributed across multiple locations.
Talent retention strategies will be as important as ever in the coming year. According to survey results from Paychex, "the Great Resignation" skews toward Millennials and Gen Z, those who are more likely to be in the lower salary quartiles. Pay raises, retention bonuses, flexible working arrangements, and health/wellness benefits are cited most when employees are asked about loyalty incentives. "More specifically, 42 percent of employees feel that a 10-15 percent salary increase would entice them to stay at their organization." (Paychex.com blog)
Communication between manager and direct reports will be paramount in 2022, but especially so for key performers whose resignation would be a costly loss. "Stay Interviews" are a new trend in corporations. Rather than conducting "Exit Interviews" after ties have been severed, managers are proactively asking their top talent for candid input on what the company needs to correct to secure their commitment for another year or more. Organizations must do more than simply give employees a forum; managers need to address its workers' concerns to affirm they are heard and valued. Failure to act in 2022 would most likely lead to frustration, mistrust and a sure resignation in the following year.
With so many vacancies to fill, hiring managers will be conducting cost-benefit analyses of recruiting external talent versus promoting from within. Incentivizing employees to stay with profit sharing, competitive comp, a promotion, or professional development may pay equal dividends at a lower cost than raiding a competitor's shop. Whether promoting from within or hiring outside talent, it's vital to select an individual who fills the gap in your organization and assimilates well in the company culture. It may sound like finding a unicorn, but our experienced HR professionals are quite good at it.
So, there you have it, our fearless predictions for 2022. How accurate? Time will tell.
In the meantime, our entire staff at inclineHR thank you for the relationship we enjoyed with you in 2021 and wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year.

Top Irish medical expert's tips to stay safe and healthy during COVID-19 pandemic
Prof Luke O Neill, Professor at Trinity College Dublin, said the immune system is an important line of defence in the battle with the bug
Mick McNiffe
A top Irish medical specialist has told how we can boost our immune systems and help fight the coronavirus sweeping the country.
Prof Luke O Neill, Professor of Biochemistry at Trinity College Dublin, said it is an important line of defence in the battle with the bug – and we must protect it.
A healthy immune system will help ward off the virus – and battle it if we contract the deadly disease.
He said: "The first thing is a good diet, because you need good food to feed the immune system.
"A high fibre diet full of fresh good and vegetable really helps.
"If you have a bad diet, a lot of fatty foods - that damages the immune system, which doesn't like these foods.
"Your first thought should make sure you're getting a reasonable diet.
Coronavirus Dublin: Emergency services called to several suspected COVID-19 cases in capital
Coronavirus Ireland: Brown Thomas and Arnotts to close temporarily during COVID-19 lockdown
"Probiotic drinks, there is some evidence there, but with a good diet, you don't need them."
The leading doctor said Vitamin D too was important.
He told Newstalk's Pat Kenny: "Immunologists have been obsessed with Vitamin D for the past 20 or 30 years.
"You need Vitamin D for your immune system. It loves it. It uses it like a supercharger.
"And in Ireland we don't get enough in the winter due to the lack of sunlight.
"That's one reason why these infections are more common in winter.
"We're slightly Vitamin D deficient. And you can get it in milk, or buy it if you want, or in a good balanced meal. Meat has vitamin D in it."
Prof O' Neill said exercise was important, too, to help keep the bug at bay.
He declared: "Listen to me all you couch potatoes watching Netflix endlessly, 'get up and walk around a bit'.
"The immune system can get sluggish. If you take exercise, your blood flow goes up. Your heart rate goes up.
"Exercise is very, very important. Even moderate exercise.
"Older people are the ones we worry about as they have slightly less active immune systems.
"But walk up and down the stairs twice. It doesn't have to be a huge amount.
"Any little bit helps. But don't overdo it.
"You don't need to go outdoors if you don't want. Walk around the house.
"Exercising too much can be a negative. Don't be going into your bedroom and getting on your cross trainer and cycling for four hours.
"Moderate exercise is extremely important. Get the heart rate up. Do a bit of housework."
The professor pointed out stress was something that would damage the immune system – and that we need to avoid it.

Coronavirus: Patient says COVID-19 'so different' to flu and warns of shocking effects on body
He said: "Stress is next on our absolute list of priorities. You don't want people worrying too much.
"Worry means stress, stress suppresses your immune system. The virus would love that – it will get a foothold then.
"Stress is really important to consider, especially low-grade chronic stress.
"Exercise is the big one to destress. Try to stop worrying. Make sure you are socially connected, on the phone to your friends. Watch movies to get you away from the worries of all of this.
"Obviously people are worried, but you have got to handle stress because there is a big negative.
"Sleep is the next really important one. Bad sleep damages the immune system. A good night's sleep is critical.
"Try and go to bed at the same time and get up at the same time."
Prof O'Neill said that too much booze would affect our fight against the virus.
He said: "It's a sad one, this, 'Don't take a hot toddy'. That's the advice. Even though you want to take something that's a bit comforting like that.
"On the one hand, the hot toddy can relax you. You feel a bit better. Because that's getting rid of the stress, I suppose.
"But alcohol damages the immune system. Alcohol is bad, a little bit is ok.
"Don't be overdoing it on the alcohol.
"We know this as alcoholics will often have infections. And the reason is the alcohol has damaged their immune system.
"I'd lay off the booze, a lot of it anyway. It's okay to have the little one if it's a social thing."
Prof O'Neill said that there were developments in the hunt for a vaccine.
Doctors in India and China have been successful in treating the virus in early tests.
A combination of drugs made up of anti- HIV and anti-flu were used to beat the bug.
Prof O'Neill said: "There have been effects against the virus in test-tubes.
"We'll wait for the full medical trials."
Already a 103-year-old Chinese grandmother who had Covid 19 has made a full recovery after being treated for six days in Wuhan, from where the virus originated.
He said: "That's a remarkable result. The fact that a 103-year-old woman has managed to be discharged is a great sign."
The professor said German scientists could have a test vaccine by Autumn, but it could be at least a year.
He said: "There are 35 people trying to develop a vaccine. But it would be a year before it's widely available."

Q: How to replicate INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE statements using JPA and Hibernate I would like to rename a PostgreSQL (9.6) table in a way that is recoverable for my system (A java app using JPA/Hibernate)
In my java code, a JPA entity would have the following annotations @Entity @Table(name="old_name") and the database would have an equivalent table called old_name.
I would like to rename the table to new_name in a way that I can incrementally update the database and java app, allowing for failure and rollback.
Typical steps would be

*

*create copy of old_name in new_name

*ensure read/writes available in both (i.e. data is replicated both ways)

*update java app to use new table new_name

*when confident system update complete, remove old_name
Effectively I would like a duplicate table in the same schema with the same data, both able to accept reads and writes, that can be read from JPA entities.
I am aware of the use of triggers, and would like to avoid that. I am hoping there is a technique I'm not aware of and haven't found that would make this less painful than using triggers.
I have tried to rename the table and create a "simple view" over it, however the JPA entity complains as it can't find a table with the name of the view. (Because it is a view, not a table :) and there seems no @View/@Table JPA annotation that will handle this)
I haven't yet tried the facilities listed here: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Replication,_Clustering,_and_Connection_Pooling as the majority seem to be about pooling, sharding, and I need a simple short term table replica, but I will be investigating these also.
Thanks - I would like the simplest option of course, preferring something built in to postgres/JPA but will seriously consider 3rd party options also.

A: Database tables
Assuming you have the following two tables:
CREATE TABLE old_post (
    id int8 NOT NULL,
    title varchar(255),
    version int4 NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

CREATE TABLE post (
    id int8 NOT NULL,
    created_on date,
    title varchar(255),
    version int4 NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

JPA entity
The old_post table must be replicated with the newer post. Notice that the post table has more columns now than the old table.
We only need to map the Post entity:
@Entity(name = "Post")
@Table(name = "post")
public static class Post {

    @Id
    private Long id;

    private String title;

    @Column(name = "created_on")
    private LocalDate createdOn = LocalDate.now();

    @Version
    private int version;

    //Getters and setters omitted for brevity
}

Hibernate event listeners
Now, we have to register 3 event listeners to intercept the INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations for the Post entity.
We can do this via the following event listeners:
public class ReplicationInsertEventListener
        implements PostInsertEventListener {

    public static final ReplicationInsertEventListener INSTANCE =
        new ReplicationInsertEventListener();

    @Override
    public void onPostInsert(
            PostInsertEvent event)
            throws HibernateException {
        final Object entity = event.getEntity();

        if(entity instanceof Post) {
            Post post = (Post) entity;

            event.getSession().createNativeQuery(
                "INSERT INTO old_post (id, title, version) " +
                "VALUES (:id, :title, :version)")
            .setParameter("id", post.getId())
            .setParameter("title", post.getTitle())
            .setParameter("version", post.getVersion())
            .setFlushMode(FlushMode.MANUAL)
            .executeUpdate();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean requiresPostCommitHanding(
            EntityPersister persister) {
        return false;
    }
}

public class ReplicationUpdateEventListener
    implements PostUpdateEventListener {

    public static final ReplicationUpdateEventListener INSTANCE =
        new ReplicationUpdateEventListener();

    @Override
    public void onPostUpdate(
            PostUpdateEvent event) {
        final Object entity = event.getEntity();

        if(entity instanceof Post) {
            Post post = (Post) entity;

            event.getSession().createNativeQuery(
                "UPDATE old_post " +
                "SET title = :title, version = :version " +
                "WHERE id = :id")
            .setParameter("id", post.getId())
            .setParameter("title", post.getTitle())
            .setParameter("version", post.getVersion())
            .setFlushMode(FlushMode.MANUAL)
            .executeUpdate();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean requiresPostCommitHanding(
            EntityPersister persister) {
        return false;
    }
}

public class ReplicationDeleteEventListener
        implements PreDeleteEventListener {

    public static final ReplicationDeleteEventListener INSTANCE =
        new ReplicationDeleteEventListener();

    @Override
    public boolean onPreDelete(
            PreDeleteEvent event) {
        final Object entity = event.getEntity();

        if(entity instanceof Post) {
            Post post = (Post) entity;

            event.getSession().createNativeQuery(
                "DELETE FROM old_post " +
                "WHERE id = :id")
            .setParameter("id", post.getId())
            .setFlushMode(FlushMode.MANUAL)
            .executeUpdate();
        }

        return false;
    }
}

The 3 event listeners can be registered using a Hibernate Integrator:
public class ReplicationEventListenerIntegrator
        implements Integrator {

    public static final ReplicationEventListenerIntegrator INSTANCE =
        new ReplicationEventListenerIntegrator();

    @Override
    public void integrate(
            Metadata metadata,
            SessionFactoryImplementor sessionFactory,
            SessionFactoryServiceRegistry serviceRegistry) {

        final EventListenerRegistry eventListenerRegistry =
                serviceRegistry.getService(EventListenerRegistry.class);

        eventListenerRegistry.appendListeners(
            EventType.POST_INSERT,
            ReplicationInsertEventListener.INSTANCE
        );

        eventListenerRegistry.appendListeners(
            EventType.POST_UPDATE,
            ReplicationUpdateEventListener.INSTANCE
        );

        eventListenerRegistry.appendListeners(
            EventType.PRE_DELETE,
            ReplicationDeleteEventListener.INSTANCE
        );
    }

    @Override
    public void disintegrate(
            SessionFactoryImplementor sessionFactory,
            SessionFactoryServiceRegistry serviceRegistry) {

    }
}

And, to instruct Hibernate to use this custom Integrator, you need to set up the hibernate.integrator_provider configuration property:
<property name="hibernate.integrator_provider"
          value="com.vladmihalcea.book.hpjp.hibernate.listener.ReplicationEventListenerIntegrator "/>

Testing time
Now, when persisting a Post entity:
Post post1 = new Post();
post1.setId(1L);
post1.setTitle(
    "The High-Performance Java Persistence book is to be released!"
);

entityManager.persist(post1);

Hibernate will execute the following SQL INSERT statements:
Query:["INSERT INTO old_post (id, title, version) VALUES (?, ?, ?)"], Params:[(1, The High-Performance Java Persistence book is to be released!, 0)]

Query:["insert into post (created_on, title, version, id) values (?, ?, ?, ?)"], Params:[(2018-12-12, The High-Performance Java Persistence book is to be released!, 0, 1)]

When doing another transaction that updates an existing Post entity and creates a new Post entity:
Post post1 = entityManager.find(Post.class, 1L);
post1.setTitle(post1.getTitle().replace("to be ", ""));

Post post2 = new Post();
post2.setId(2L);
post2.setTitle(
    "The High-Performance Java Persistence book is awesome!"
);

entityManager.persist(post2);

Hibernate replicates all actions to the old_post table as well:
 Query:["select tablerepli0_.id as id1_1_0_, tablerepli0_.created_on as created_2_1_0_, tablerepli0_.title as title3_1_0_, tablerepli0_.version as version4_1_0_ from post tablerepli0_ where tablerepli0_.id=?"], Params:[(1)]

 Query:["INSERT INTO old_post (id, title, version) VALUES (?, ?, ?)"], Params:[(2, The High-Performance Java Persistence book is awesome!, 0)]

 Query:["insert into post (created_on, title, version, id) values (?, ?, ?, ?)"], Params:[(2018-12-12, The High-Performance Java Persistence book is awesome!, 0, 2)]

 Query:["update post set created_on=?, title=?, version=? where id=? and version=?"], Params:[(2018-12-12, The High-Performance Java Persistence book is released!, 1, 1, 0)]

 Query:["UPDATE old_post SET title = ?, version = ? WHERE id = ?"], Params:[(The High-Performance Java Persistence book is released!, 1, 1)]

When deleting a Post entity:
Post post1 = entityManager.getReference(Post.class, 1L);
entityManager.remove(post1);

The old_post record is deletected as well:
Query:["DELETE FROM old_post WHERE id = ?"], Params:[(1)]
Query:["delete from post where id=? and version=?"], Params:[(1, 1)]

NFL and ABC-7 Among Employers That Value Skills of MCTV Broadcast Students
@MC
When Montgomery County residents tune in to Montgomery College Television (MCTV), they might not know that some of the programs they see are created by Montgomery College students. Students majoring in media production and student aides working alongside MCTV professionals create a weekly newscast and other pieces. The education, hands-on experience, and staff mentorship prepares students to either move directly into the television/video industry or transfer to a four-year institution.
Two recent MC graduates who learned television production, DJ Mirisola '20 and Peter Pereyra '21, were recognized with the 2021 Communicator Award of Distinction for documentaries they produced while at MCTV last year. Mirisola produced Job Search Techniques During Covid-19new window, and Pereyra completed Public Transportation and COVID-19new window. Both were part of a cohort of MCTV student aides, which ranges from four to eight students per semester.
DJ Mirisola (right) received hands-on experience during his time with MCTV.
"I wanted to make something that was useful for students like me," said Mirisola. "If one student saw it as a resource, that was my main goal." Mirisola graduated during the first wave of the pandemic, and was trying to enter the workforce when economic activity was essentially halted. "There wasn't a single day that I wasn't doing [something for] my career." He recently landed a job as production assistant with ABC-7 out of Arlington and with the NFL as a broadcast technician.
I'm convinced that having participated in MCTV's internship program and the type of mentorship and hands-on training I received through it, has given me a leg up going forward to becoming a television professional.
Mirisola, a native Floridian, knew he wanted to come to MC when he visited the campus a few years ago and learned that as a student he would be part of a live show on local television every week. As a student, he helped with MC in Focus Friday newscast, a student-produced, housed and MCTV-broadcasted program led by Professor Joanne Carl and was mentored by the MCTV team. "They follow FCC standards. Everything is usable for a real show," Mirisola said.
The collaboration allows students like Peter Pereyra the opportunity to work on their skills as videographers.
Pereyra, originally from Paraguay, said as an MCTV student, he experienced firsthand the same types of timelines and pressures commercial television stations go through when producing and airing their newscasts. "The collaboration between the TVRA program and MCTV is essential to making more well-rounded television professionals," he said. "MCTV staff patiently explain, demonstrate, advise, and supervise how to make the most of the equipment available to put the newscast on the air."
He studied acting, and then came to the United States 20 years ago to pursue that path in the DC area. When he grew interested in the craft behind the lens, he enrolled at MC to hone those skills in a more structured way. "I'm convinced that having participated in MCTV's internship program and the type of mentorship and hands-on training I received through it, has given me a leg up going forward to becoming a television professional. I feel more prepared to face a job market that has again begun to hire following a hiatus due to the pandemic," Pereyra said.
Collaboration That Benefits Everyone
In addition to the newscast, students also produce public service announcements, which air on MCTV. "Students then have a portfolio, and they can say that the content they created for class was broadcast on MCTV, which helps them stand out in the competitive job market," Prof. Carl said. She believes the collaboration helps all broadcast students—not just the student aides–because everyone works as a team to create a good final product.
Peter Pereyra (right) gets ready to shoot a Town Hall Meeting alongside the MCTV crew.
Melissa Pace, MCTV's managing director, said the internship program and the collaboration with TVRA students offer two-fold benefits. "They help our team complete all of our required and requested duties for presidential communications and events; and the hands-on experience they are getting outside the classroom really hones their skills and makes them employable and job-ready, or ready for transfer for a four-year institution."
Pace says the students also do real service for the community because the programming presents guest lecturers and speakers from all around the world. "The fact that we can capture this programming and put it on our cable channel, on our website, and on YouTube… makes that content accessible to millions of people," said Pace.

Reflecting on the value of mentorship and support from MCTV producers and other staff, Pereyra said, "One of the most remarkable things about the mentorship program was that the professional producers I worked with would not hesitate to pass their knowledge on to me and the other interns. They seemed just as keen as the faculty on seeing us succeed. My biggest and only regret is not having learned about the MCTV program before I did, I would have definitely applied sooner."

What are injectable sarms
Then you take a fast-acting steroid and inject it every other day and possibly you stack an oral steroid taken once daily. If you want to get a good dose of it you have to go a thousand times in a two, four and eight hour window. The one I take is called LY3-19, what are sarms made of. It's a powerful steroid that's used for weight-loss. It's a big molecule so the patient is not going to have a significant muscle tone, what are sarms and do they work. It's not going to be the type of strength that they need, can you inject oral sarms. In the first month, you take it about seven times a day, you have three injections. The third injection comes in at 9:30 in the morning and it's done at 12:15, what are sarms uk. There's some muscle contraction in your shoulder which you don't know, what are sarms made out of. You come in at 12:45 and you see some slight cramping and you've got to go home and rest. You think you might have pain in there but there's no pain. It doesn't make it worse so you go back to your job, you start the following day and then you get the injection at 3:22. You do that every three weeks, in the days before your work and at the time that you do the work, what are all the sarms. It's four and a half hours a day and we do that seven days a week. If you're in a really difficult shape you can do six injections, what are sarms made out of. It takes a while to build that muscle mass because you're having to work a lot for one small muscle (for example your back). In the first two weeks to two months you won't look that amazing, injectable sarms uk. Sometimes you'll look good, other times you'll have that muscle pain, what are sarms and what do they do. But after a while the pain will go away. Some people have had this as early as the first week; others as late as the eighth week. The next month is another fast-acting steroid, LY1-19, what are sarms and how do they work. It's really powerful because it can have the same effects on the back. You use it for several days a week all in the days before your work before you do the workout, oral inject can you sarms. There's another compound that I like with an amino acid. They called it LYV-21, Lyvacor. That's the most potent, what are sarms and do they work1. We don't get that one until you have lost 20 percent of your muscle mass, the minimum size threshold. The second compound they call it LY2-17. It's a very strong compound, what are sarms and do they work2. The fourth one they call it LY3-19.

Injectable sarms recipe
My goal of this experiment was to truly evaluate how anabolic injectable SARMs are without any interfering factors. So I decided to use one of the most popular SARMs on the market, Testosterone-CPA, which has been on the market for almost 40 years. I wanted to give it a better test bench than any other drug that I tested on, to evaluate the effects of its effect on the immune system and the response of the body to physical stress and other acute and chronic stresses, what are the side effects of using sarms. In the end, I also had a better understand of the various side effects of anabolic SARMs by looking at what happened to the body when a certain dose was given over time, what are sarms meant for. How did test tube data compare with what we see on anabolic products that are not on the market, injectable sarms recipe? We did these tests not to prove one way or the other, but to compare a whole range of effects to see if there is any indication that anabolic SARMs are able to alter the immune system or the body. My main goal was to find all the answers to the age old question: Where did steroids come from? The answers to that question are not just in the science, what are the best sarms in australia. They are in the human body, and also within our society. There are thousands of men who have used testosterone-CPA and have had a lifetime of success, test prop raw powder. Many of them have become experts in the treatment of conditions such as prostate cancer. Yet many others have suffered the consequences of their success and have never done it again because of the negative side effects that many of these drugs have on the body. As I said earlier, the side effects of anabolic SARMs are not due solely to the effect they have on the immune system. As I mentioned previously, and many studies have shown, the side effects of the steroids themselves have very different characteristics to this drug combination. It is as if the body in these steroids is a new type of muscle that it has to develop and get used to, what are the best sarms for muscle growth. It is also as if it is a new organ that it has to be nurtured and used to it is adapted to the body's needs. These two changes are not always additive in nature, but rather they may result in a synergistic effect of many effects, even if they are different, what are injectable sarms. For example, there are not many people who would find a lot of advantage in using a drug that does not stimulate growth of new muscle cells, what are sarms meant for. What about a drug that does not trigger fat burning or muscle growth? The side effects are what can lead many to believe that steroid abuse is a problem in many people's lives, sarms injectable recipe. This is just not true, what are sarms used for.

Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are suddenly on pace to be elected to the Hall of Fame
On Wednesday the Baseball Writers Association of America announced that Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza had been elected into the Hall of Fame. More interesting may be the sudden up-tick in votes for the two poster-children for Major League Baseball's steroid era, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
Clemens on Bonds, who have both received similar levels of support since first becoming eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2013, saw a decent increase this year, with Clemens being named on 45.2% of the ballots and Bonds' name being included on 44.3% of the ballots. Meanwhile, Mark McGwire, who has admitted to using steroids in his career and was a borderline candidate anyway, received just 12.3% in his tenth and final year of eligibility.
While Clemens and Bonds are still well short of the 75% needed for induction, this year's vote suggests it might still happen. Both players have seen their vote total jump about 10% in the past two years combined. At that same rate, both players would land right at ~75% in their final year of eligibility (2022). And if this year's ~8% increase is any indication, they will hit 75% sooner than that, possibly in 2020.

I love watching beans grow, I think every kid does. I know mine do. They love to drown, I mean water the plants.
Beans are great because the seeds are so big, and they sprout quickly. It's wonderful you found a book that goes so well with the activity, and that Emily got to bring the story to life!
We love Anne Rockwell, but haven't read this book. It's awesome that you combined it with the whole hands-on project of actually planting the beans. I hope they will grow big and strong.
I hope you share a picture when the seeds sprout. Very neat. We are also starting to plant our seeds. My daughter has great plans for her own flower garden. We haven't read this Anne Rockwell book either but it looks wonderful for this time of year!
What a great spring StArt book and activity. When I was teaching we grew beans in a paper towel in a a plastic bag. It was a neat activity because the kids could actually see the roots sprouting along with the rest of the plant.
What a great activity. The book looks great!
I have GOT to get my kids outside and in the garden! I've also always been too chicken (and impatient) to do starter seeds!
I really like the idea of using an egg carton to plant seeds. Emily is going to have so much fun keeping an eye on her sprouting beans.
We also planted beans this week!


It's a good idea to pace yourself during the holidays. Decide which parties and events you want to attend or host. Just because you've always done it doesn't mean you need to continue the habit. It's okay to say no. You can also pace yourself with gift giving - how many people you buy for and how much you buy. This can make it a lot easier on the pocketbook as well! Shopping early can help alleviate the last-minute rush to fulfill your list.
Start by washing all the vegetables and star fruit. Cut broccoli flowerets and cauliflower into roughly 1 inch pieces, cut carrots into strips (you will only use a few for the actual tree). Slice the star fruit so that you see the star shape in each slice. Use a large platter to arrange the vegetables on.
Whisk buttermilk, mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice, mustard, honey, garlic powder and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight to allow flavors to blend.

Set the stage for exciting and cozy family dinners with dining table sets from Ginny's. The hallway has some 1950s Barton furnishings and an ancestoral photo of mine is more than the dining table. In addition to our hardwood completed dining tables, our comprehensive selection of ornate wood pattern designs with finishes in styles of mahogany, walnut, maple, oak, cherry and teak give an opulent appeal of subtle luxury. Another problem with acquiring low-cost furniture such as cheap sofas and chairs is that chairs and sofas take a lot a lot more put on and tear than tables or china hutches. Those dinette sets sell up to $1,500 here in NJ. I also shared a equivalent childhood.
The author also supplies details about the history of chopsticks, explains how to hold them, and describes great Chinese (Confucian) table manners. After once more, you can experiment with colorful crockery and cutlery that will make your table look great. Folks can gather in twos or threes, each and every table having its own qualities of conversations.
Whether you shop in retailer at one of my Bob's Discount Furnishings areas, or on the web at , my Bob's team makes it simple for you to browse, order and acquire the dining room set and dining area furnishings of your dreams! For that reason, it would be a great notion to spoil the effect of an sophisticated atmosphere with inexpensive dining room furniture. Kate Spade New York has a line of dinnerware sets that are made in North Carolina.
Two or 3 color-coordinated plates, a cup or bowl, glassware, cloth napkin, and placemat make the table look festive and properly-appointed with out hunting fussy. The dining space furnishings you select will rely largely on the general style of your house or apartment, even if you have a separate dining room or part of the area. Brussels' double pedestal table has a traditional formal appeal, and Utopia comes with a bench that your kids will love to sit on! Seen in the 1st image is a dining room decorating concept employing a wooden dining table set.
I recognize that 10% per year is normal but I never think that I will get $1100 for it. Punch bowl sets just don't sell. It is a 544 piece set, suggested for men and women aged ten and up that works with other Lego train sets and it consists of four minifigures – Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Professor Lupin and a Dementor. You will also locate some Ford and Holden branded bar tools and tables, Scoreboard Clocks,Bar sets and can cooler fridges. I highly advocate securing your table coverings and signs with string and safety pins.

Our world is poised on the edge of a revolution in the science of materials. From carbon nanotubes to spider silk, sticky gecko feet to bulletproof foam, scientists are combining high-technology with nature's most incredible inventions to create a new generation of materials which are stronger, smaller, cleaner, and smarter than anything we've seen before. Hosted by the New York Times' lively technology correspondent David Pogue, each hour in this four-part series explores the talent, luck, and determination that can turn a wild idea into a cutting-edge material or high-tech breakthrough.
From the deck of a Navy aircraft carrier to the driver's seat in a demolition derby, the MAKING STUFF Educator's Edition showcases materials pushed to the extreme and provides tools that give students an inside look at advances in tensile strength, bioplastic, shrinking microchips, and more. Bring NOVA into the classroom and explore how atoms themselves can be manipulated - changing the future of medicine, computers, energy, and other "stuff" that makes this material world turn.
Episodes include
Making Stuff: Stronger - What is the strongest material in the world? Is it iron? Are Kevlar and carbon nanotubes the way of the future, or will the powerful properties discovered in natural spider silk one day replace steel?
Making Stuff: Smaller - How small can we go? Could we one day have robots taking "fantastic voyages" in our bodies to kill rogue cells? The triumphs of tiny are seen all around us in the Information Age: transistors, microchips, laptops, cell phones.
Making Stuff: Smarter - What can nature teach us in building smarter materials? Can we create materials that sense and respond? "When describing 'smart materials,' one analogy scientists give is the evolution from the first Terminator robot, a machine made of metal and circuitry, to the shape-shifting 'liquid guy' in Terminator 2," said Making Stuff producer Chris Schmidt
Making Stuff: Cleaner - Most modern materials are dangerous to the environment, but what about cleaning up our world? Batteries grown from viruses, tires made from orange peel oil, plastics made of sugar, and solar cells that cook up hydrogen - these are just a few glimpses of a new generation of clean materials that could power devices of the future

Q: How to ask Mathematica to fill in colors between curves in the given code? I am using this code
x = {-2, -1.5, -1, -0.5, 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2};
y = {1.21, 1.24, 1.26, 1.21, 1.28, 1.25, 1.21, 1.23, 1.26};

p1 = ListPlot[Thread[{x, y}], PlotStyle -> Red, Joined -> True];
p2 = ListPlot[Thread[{x, y^2}], PlotStyle -> Red, Joined -> True];
p3 = ListPlot[Thread[{x, y^3}], PlotStyle -> Blue, Joined -> True];
p4 = ListPlot[Thread[{x, y^4}], PlotStyle -> Blue, Joined -> True];
Show[p1, p2, p3, p4, PlotRange -> All]

and the result is plot no.1. How can I ask Mathematica to fill in colors between the curves as plot no.2?

A: ListPlot[
 {Thread[{x, y}], Thread[{x, y^2}],
  Thread[{x, y^3}], Thread[{x, y^4}]},
 Filling -> {
   1 -> {{2}, Opacity[0.3, Red]},
   3 -> {{4}, Opacity[0.3, Blue]}
 },
 PlotStyle -> {Red, Red, Blue, Blue}, Joined -> True,
 PlotRange -> {1, 3}
]

A: You can also construct a  TemporalData object from your x and y and use it with ListLinePlot:
td = TemporalData[Table[y^i, {i, 4}], {x}];

llp = ListLinePlot[td,
 PlotStyle -> {Red, Red, RGBColor[.45, .77, .92], RGBColor[.45, .77, .92]},
 Filling -> {1 -> {2}, 3 -> {4}},
 PlotRange -> {1, All}]

Alternatively, use Table[y^i, {i, 4}] as input data and add the option DataRange -> MinMax[x]:
llp = ListLinePlot[Table[y^i, {i, 4}],
 DataRange -> MinMax[x],
 PlotStyle -> {Red, Red, RGBColor[.45, .77, .92], RGBColor[.45, .77, .92]},
 Filling -> {1 -> {2}, 3 -> {4}},
 PlotRange -> {1, All}]

SeedRandom[1]
Normal[llp] /. p_Polygon :> Dynamic[texturedPoly[CurrentValue["Color"]][p]]

where
ClearAll[texturedPoly]
texturedPoly[color_: Red, thickness_: 10, n_: 200, sd_: 100, jitter_: 5][p_Polygon] :=
 Module[{BSF = BSplineFunction[Join @@ (RandomSample[Partition[#, 20]] & @
   SortBy[RandomPoint[BoundingRegion[p[[1]], "MinConvexPolygon"], n], First])]},
  {Opacity[.8], Texture @
   ImageEffect[Graphics[{CapForm["Round"], JoinForm["Round"],
      color, AbsoluteThickness[thickness],
      Line[BSF /@ Subdivide[sd]]}], {"Jitter", jitter}],
   Polygon[p[[1]], VertexTextureCoordinates -> Automatic]}]


How do you respond when the interviewer asks, "Tell me about yourself"?
Why do interviewers ask "Tell me about yourself" and what do they really want to know? There are usually two reasons for asking that question and how you respond can influence the rest of your interview.
The most common reason why interviewers ask that question, unfortunately, is that they have not prepared for the interview. It should also be a tip-off to you that they might not have even read your resume. A good reason, however, could be that they have prepared and have read your resume. This could be their way to hear what you have to say and to assess whether what you tell them verbally is consistent with what your resume tells them.
Of course, you will not know which is the case but that doesn't matter because your reply would be the same for both situations.
1. Do you have the skills and experience to do what WE want you to do? The interview is not about you telling them all YOUR great skills and experience. It is about you demonstrating that you have the skills and experience THEY want.
2. Do you have the personality, style, temperament, and attitude that will fit within OUR organization. Particularly as it relates to the department/group/etc. where you would be working? These are based only on THEIR subjective perspective that may not be shared with you.
Research the company. Know what is in the news about them. Understand their business and products. Prepare a list of questions you want to ask. They need to see that you have done your homework. For suggestions on how and where to do research on companies, click here.
How long should you take to answer this question? No more than two minutes, period. You will need to practice before you interview so you will know what you can include within the two minutes. If they want more information, they will ask for it. You want to encourage a two-way conversation. If you do all the talking or if they do all the talking, neither of you will get to know whether the position and you are a good fit. Keep in mind that question No. 3 is the most critical assessment.

PennsylvAsia: A Touch of Sin (天注定) at Waterworks Cinemas, November 9 and 12.
A Touch of Sin (天注定) at Waterworks Cinemas, November 9 and 12.
"A Touch of Sin," the powerful if uneven new film by highly regarded Chinese director Jia Zhangke, is a corrosive depiction of the New China, an everything-for-sale society still figuring out how to cope with the dehumanizing effects of unbridled capitalism.
Jia, whose 2006 "Still Life" won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, has dealt with the problems of Chinese society in the past, but in a more allusive, elliptical way. Now his concern about the nakedness of the corruption and an increasing trend of individuals resorting to violence out of desperation has led him to modify his style in ways that are both awkward and effective.
Written by the director (who received the best screenplay award at Cannes), "A Touch of Sin" is an omnibus film of four separate but subtly linked stories that take place in different corners of the country and are based on real events that Jia, in a director's note, says "are well-known to people throughout China."
A Touch of Sin plays at 6:15 on Saturday the 9th and at 6:30 on Tuesday the 12th at the multiplex in the Waterworks Mall (map). It is one of four Asian films in the 2013 festival.

Porsha Williams' Ex-Husband Kordell Stewart Is Finally Revealing The "Truth" In His New Book
Zon D'Amour
Source: Prince Williams / Getty
In recent years, Kordell Stewart's career as a NFL player was overshadowed by his stint on the Real Housewives of Atlanta, his short lived marriage to Porsha Williams as well as rumors that he was homosexual.
Now the 43-year-old is addressing all of the controversies in his new book, "Truth: The Kordell Stewart Story".
"My autobiography, is a book that's trying to bring forms of transparency to [my] fan-base," he said. On how RHOA affected his marriage he shared, "…again, it's about transparency for me, because when you're a celebrity, when you're a figure in society that people know and they can't touch you or understand you, I think we get lost when rumors start."
On if there was hope that he and Porsha would ever get back together, Kordell revealed, "I don't talk to [Porsha]. I tried to reconcile the last five or six months of our relationship. I was madly in love with my ex-wife."
In an interview with the Tom Joyner Morning Show, the former football player shared that his professional career began a downward spiral nearly twenty years ago at the onset of the gay rumors.
"It started in '98 and the rumor then was that I allegedly had been arrested for lewd acts in a park by a transvestite. But that didn't happen. I was never arrested. And because I never responded it took on a life on its own. With this book…I felt like it was important that I got a message out about transparency and stick to your core values."
With his friends Apollo Nida in jail and Peter Thomas claiming he's done with reality TV, now would be a great time for Kordell to sign up for the new season of RHOA. While he may be able to get to the New York Times Best Sellers list on his own, Kordell's chances of having his autobiography fly off the shelves increase if he were to make a deal with the devil…show executive producer Andy Cohen.
Think about it Kordell! You're a single dad and you need to sell books! Getting back on reality TV to spite your ex (which gives Porsha a storyline) while promoting your latest endeavor is a win-win.

Q: Attached SQL 2000 DB in a SQL 2005 Server, Now getting VB6 App throwing errors A SQL 2000 db was detached, SQL 2000 was uninstalled. Then SQL 2005 installed in the same machine. Then the database was attached to the newly installed SQL 2005 server. It seemed to work at first but after the users started to poke around, error related to null started to pop. Null values from datetime columns that DID NOT have nulls, and things like that. The db has a compatibility level to 2000 (8.0). What could be happening.

A: Have you you run DBCC UPDATEUSAGE?

In earlier versions of SQL Server, the
  values for the table and index row
  counts and page counts can become
  incorrect. Therefore, databases that
  were created on versions prior to SQL
  Server 2005 may contain incorrect
  counts. After you upgrade a database
  to SQL Server 2005, we recommend that
  you run DBCC UPDATEUSAGE to correct
  any invalid counts. This DBCC
  statement corrects the rows, used
  pages, reserved pages, leaf pages and
  data page counts for each partition in
  a table or index. For more
  information, see DBCC UPDATEUSAGE
  (Transact-SQL).

Have you rebuilt all indexes?
exec sp_msforeachtable "dbcc dbreindex('?')"

Note: be careful if this is in production, as it might take a while. Perhaps talk to your DBA.

'Storage Wars': Dan Dotson Says It's 'Time to Go Back to Work' After the Holidays
by Maggie Schneider January 3, 2022
written by Maggie Schneider January 3, 2022
"Storage Wars" star Dan Dotson is sharing with his followers a sweet selfie with his grandson before getting back to work.
Now that the holidays are over, it's time to return to our day jobs. In a sweet Twitter post, "Storage Wars" star Dan Dotson says that he is ready to go back to work. He posts a selfie with his grandson to show fans what his life has looked like the past couple of weeks. It appears that the A&E star enjoyed some much-needed time with his family.
Had a great time over the holidays with my grandson Chris. Time to go back to work for @paytheladylaura and I making new #storagewars
Tues 9/8c @AETVhttps://t.co/oJXPhUKzCu https://t.co/m1fWpP2qrv pic.twitter.com/kqi8fVckc4
— Dan Dotson on A&E (@auctionguydan) January 3, 2022
"Had a great time over the holidays with my grandson Chris," Dotson begins. "Time to go back to work for @paytheladylaura and I making new #storagewars."
The tweet ends with this shameless plug, which tells fans to expect more "Storage Wars" episodes very soon. We are happy to see that Dotson is looking and feeling refreshed for a busy new year.
How 'Storage Wars' Came To Be
In an interview with Monsters and Critics, Laura and Dan Dotson talk about all things "Storage Wars." Dan's wife and business partner Laura reveals that the idea for the show came in a dream.
"About 15 years ago, I'd been having all these dreams where I kept seeing television cameras around us while we are at an auction," she says. "And I'm thinking, 'Who wants to see auction stuff? Or this underground world of stuff which you never know what you're going to find?' And it turns out that it's just this exciting thing that I didn't even know if anybody was going to be interested in it."
Dan Dotson says that the couple was hopeful that the pitch would land a network's interest. When A&E got involved, they were ecstatic.
"We originally thought that if we could figure out a way to get a pilot and that could get out there, that would be better than just nothing. And then when A&E ordered the first four shows, we were just ecstatic. It's just been a super blessing for us ever since then."
Dan Dotson's Family Tree
Dan Dotson comes from a long line of auctioneers. The strong business sense is literally in his blood. The couple agrees that this is a big reason for the show's success.
"You know, my grandfather and my mom were auctioneers, and I have been doing it since I was a kid. In the early to mid-80s when we started selling these storage units, a lot of my contemporaries were selling cars, horses, or heavy equipment. These were very prestigious-type auctions. So, I just did what I knew, which is to sell storage units. So, I started my own company American Auctioneers in 1983, and we started selling storage units."

Intel Thunderbolt partners detailed: LaCie, Promise, Western Digital, more
Chris Davies - Feb 24, 2011, 8:41am CST
While Apple may be the first to debut Thunderbolt, the technology is all Intel's, and the company is not being quiet about which partners have jumped on board with the 10Gbps connection. Aja, Apogee, Avid, Blackmagic, LaCie, Promise and Western Digital are all among the roster of firms committed to pushing out Thunderbolt-equipped devices, which will include displays, storage devices, audio/video devices, cameras, docking stations and more.
Developed as Light Peak, Intel Thunderbolt consists of a bi-directional, dual-channel 10 Gbps pipe using electrical or optical cables. Compatible with existing DisplayPort devices out of the box, it's dual protocol – with DisplayPort and PCI Express – and allows for daisy-chaining and bus-power.
What makes the daisy-chaining special is that, thanks to the dual-channel technology, the first device still gets 10 Gbps to play with even if you then plug in a second device off the back of it. Up to six can be linked up from a single port, and with simple adapters a Thunderbolt connection can be turned into HDMI, VGA, DVI, gigabit ethernet, FireWire or USB.
We already know that Promise is readying the Pegasus RAID and LaCie a new Little Big Disk, both using Thunderbolt, and more should be announced any time now. Apple's new MacBook Pro notebooks will go on sale today.
Intel Announces Thunderbolt™ Technology: The Fastest Data Connection to Your PC Just Arrived
Blazingly Fast Data Transfer Combines with HD Display Connectivity to Enable New Usages and Peripheral Devices
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS:
Thunderbolt technology is a new high-speed PC connection technology that runs at 10Gbps.
Thunderbolt technology supports both data and display on a single cable, enabling greater simplicity, flexibility and new and exciting ways to use a PC.
Apple* is the first customer to offer Thunderbolt technology, coming first on its new line of MacBook* Pro laptops.
SANTA CLARA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Intel Corporation today announced the availability of Thunderbolt technology, a new high-speed PC connection technology that brings together high-speed data transfer and high-definition (HD) display on to a single cable. Running at 10Gbps, Thunderbolt technology can transfer a full-length HD movie in less than 30 seconds. This Intel-developed technology is coming to market through a technical collaboration with Apple, and is available first on Apple's new line of MacBook Pro laptop computers.
"We're thrilled to collaborate with Intel to bring the groundbreaking Thunderbolt technology to Mac users"
Wait Less. Do More.
The vision for Thunderbolt technology (formerly codenamed "Light Peak") is to move media faster, simplify connections between devices, and foster new and exciting ways to build and use PCs. Combining high-speed data and HD video connections together onto a single cable is instrumental to achieving that vision. Thunderbolt technology delivers this via two communications methods, or protocols — PCI Express* for data transfer and DisplayPort* for displays. PCI Express has the flexibility to connect to almost any type of device, and DisplayPort can drive greater than 1080p resolution displays and up to eight channels of audio simultaneously. Thunderbolt technology is compatible with existing DisplayPort displays and adapters. All Thunderbolt technology devices share a common connector, and let individuals simply daisy-chain their devices one after another, connected by electrical or optical cables.
Thunderbolt technology is designed to meet the demands of serious HD media creators. For example, videographers can unleash their creativity using high-bandwidth audio and video capture/mixing devices, and get both low latency and highly-accurate time synchronization for real-time processing. At 10Gbps, larger media files are transferred faster so there's less time spent waiting to watch and edit videos. Data can be backed up and restored quicker, so there's less waiting for archived content. For mobile PC users, it means having a single connector on their ultra-thin laptop that extends their high-speed media and HD display capabilities at home or in the office. Thunderbolt technology is complementary to other I/O technologies that Intel continues to support.
"Working with HD media is one of the most demanding things people do with their PCs," said Mooly Eden, general manager, PC Client Group, Intel. "With Thunderbolt technology, Intel has delivered innovative technology to help professionals and consumers work faster and more easily with their growing collection of media content, from music to HD movies. We've taken the vision of simple, fast transfer of content between PCs and devices, and made it a reality."
"We're thrilled to collaborate with Intel to bring the groundbreaking Thunderbolt technology to Mac users," said Bob Mansfield, Apple's senior vice president of Mac Hardware Engineering. "With ultra-fast transfer speeds, support for high-resolution displays and compatibility with existing I/O technologies, Thunderbolt is a breakthrough for the entire industry and we think developers are going to have a blast with it."
Thunderbolt technology is powered by an Intel controller chip, and uses a small connector suitable for mobile devices that will be included in products supporting the technology.
