Nowadays, there are more and more devices in LAN network. Significant amount of such devices can generate many technical problems connected with the necessity of structured wiring expansion or creation of new power points. Repeatedly this is quite problematic and that is why there are some standards which help to solve this problem.
Power over Ethernet (802.3 af/at) is a power supply system for devices with the aid of the most commonly used network cable – Cat 5e twisted pair or higher. PoE supply can be used for 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps, yet providing power to devices has no effect on the data transmission.
Thanks to this solution, by using a single network cable you can transmit both data and electricity. In short, PoE enables to simplify the process of entire installation and also the need of connecting devices to 230V.
Whereas such a change has its impact on increasing power consumption by power supply device.
It should also be noted that the PoE standard was defined in 2003 providing 15,4W power for each connection. In fact, the device gets 12,95W while the rest is earmarked for losses due to the transmission of electricity.
The oldest PoE is able to deliver 15,4W, PoE+ to 30W while UPoE (Universal PoE) up to 60W.
PoE+ has been introduced due to higher power consumption for powered devices. Analogously the same reason led to the introduction of UPoE – standard introduced by Cisco which can energize equipment even to 60W.
UPoE uses 4 pairs of cables to transmit power. Thus, such a solution provides power supply for e.g. virtual desktop displays, various access controllers and LED lights.
PoE switch is one of the most important elements of IP monitoring networks because it connects all network devices to each other e.g. IP cameras, recorders or VoIP telephones. It also provides PoE power supply for all network devices which support this standard.
It should also guarantee the consistent work of the entire system in situation of high intensity of data streams.
Extralink has released a new product on the market – 8-port, unmanaged, gigabit PoE switch with 2 uplink ports (1xRJ45 1000M and 1xSFP 1000M) named KRONOS.
Thanks to the fact that KRONOS has two uplink ports – one supports SFP and SFP 1000M and the other RJ-45 1000M – it's an ideal solution for network structure based on IP monitoring.
Attached diagram shows that EXTRALINK KRONOS easily supports a large number of cameras, VoIP phones and devices that support wireless network (Mimosa B5) in 802.3at (48V) standard.
In addition, by using e.g. Ubiquiti INSTANT 802.3af you can also easily power such devices that need 24V.
Its universality and the maximum load of 260W allows the implementation of such a switch practically anywhere in the office network or/and even in industrial one.
What type of PoE switch should I buy?Where are the best managed switches of a high quality?
At www.anteny24.com you will find all kinds of PoE switches and injectors !

Hockey History and Rules
History of Hockey • On March 3, 1875 the first organized indoor game was played at Montreal's Victoria Skating Rink between two sides of nine-player teams • By 1893, there were almost a hundred teams in Montreal alone, and leagues throughout Canada. • The Stanley Cup, was first awarded in 1893 to the Montreal HC, champions of the AHAC.
History of the NHL • In 1910, the National Hockey Association(NHA) was formed in Montreal. • After re-organizing as the National Hockey League (NHL) in 1917, the league expanded into the United States in 1924. • The National Hockey League originated in 1917 with 5 teams, and through a sequence of team expansions, reductions and relocations currently consists of 30 teams, 24 of which are based in the United States and 6 in Canada
Equipment • A hockey stick, ice skates, pucks, and goals are the main equipment evolved in hockey. • Hockey players wear a helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, mouth guard, protective gloves, heavily padded shorts (also known as hockey pants), athletic cup/jock strap, shin pads, and a neck protector. • Goaltenders will usually add a goalie stick, neck guard, chest protector, blocker, catch glove, and leg pads.
Rules • Three Main Rules • Offsides: When any member of the attacking team precedes the puck over the defending team's blue line. • Two-Line Pass: When a player passes the puck from his defending zone to a teammate beyond the red center line. • Iceing: When a player shoots the puck across the center red line and past the opposing red goal line. Icing is not called if the player's team is killing a penalty, a teammate of the player shooting the puck touches it before a player from the opposing team, the defending goalie touches the puck first or if the puck travels through the crease on it's way to the red line.
The Hockey Rink Centerline: Marks center ice Blue Lines: Marks the defensive/offensive zones for both teams Red Lines: Marks the goal zone. Goal Crease: Area only the goalie can be in Face-off Circles: Where teams position themselves for a puck drop Face-off Dots: Where the referee drops the puck
Penalties • Minor Penalty: Two minutes - Called for boarding, charging, cross-checking, elbowing, holding, hooking, high-sticking, interference, roughing, slashing, spearing, tripping and unsportsmanlike conduct. • Major Penalty: Five minutes - Called for fighting or when minor penalties are committed with deliberate intent to injure. Major penalties for slashing, spearing, high-sticking, butt-ending and cross-checking carry automatic game misconducts. • Misconduct: Ten minutes - Called for various forms of unsportsmanlike behavior or when a player incurs a second major penalty in a game. • Penalty Shot: A free shot, unopposed except for the goalie, given to a player who is illegally impeded from behind when in possession of the puck with no opponent between him and the goal except the goalie. The team which commits the offense is not penalized beyond the penalty shot, whether it succeeds or not.
Penalties Cont. • BOARDINGCalled for driving, throwing, checking or tripping an opponent which causes the opponent to be thrown violently into the boards. • CHARGINGCalled for running, jumping or charging into an opponent (usually taking more than three strides before impact). • CROSS-CHECKINGCalled when a player delivers a check with both hands on his stick and no part of the stick on the ice. • ELBOWINGCalled when a player uses his elbow to foul another player. • HIGH-STICKINGCalled when a player carries or holds his stick above the normal height of the waist of an Opponent and the stick causes injury to that opponent.
Penalties Cont. • HOLDINGCalled when a player holds an opponent with his hands or stick. Holding the stick is called for, well, holding an opponent's stick. • HOOKINGCalled when a player impedes or seeks to impede the progress of an opponent by "hooking" him with his stick. • INTERFERENCECalled when a player impedes or seeks to impede the progress of an opponent who is not in possession of the puck. • ROUGHINGCalled when a player or players are deemed guilty of unnecessary roughness, engaging in fisticuffs and/or shoving. • SLASHINGCalled when a player swings his stick at an opponent or impedes or attempts to impede an opponent by slashing with his stick.
Penalties Cont. • SPEARINGCalled when a player stabs an opponent with the point of the stick blade while the stick is being carried with one or both hands. • TRIPPINGCalled when a player places his stick, knee, foot, arm, hand or elbow in such a manner that it causes his opponent to trip or fall. • WASHOUTWhen signaled by a linesman, it means there is no off-sides or icing. The referee will also use this signal to "wave off" a goal.

It is impossible to avoid: Cosatu is the enemy of the unemployed
September 27, 2009 in Alliance Politics, Cosatu, labour market, regulation | 10 comments
Let's be clear here. Cosatu might oppose unemployment, but that is an abstraction and Cosatu's opposition is largely symbolic and ineffectual.
It is the interests and strivings of the unemployed themselves that Cosatu actively works to counter.
It's obvious really. Cosatu is a federation of trade unions. A trade union is the representative of employed people, as employed people. As such the collective interests of employed people (the sellers of labour) is to get the best deal – in terms of wages and working conditions – from the employer (the buyer of labour).
As in any market, if the seller can control the supply of the good he or she can command the price and the terms of the deal.
But how to control the supply of labour in a situation of high unemployment? By locking the unemployed out of the labour market! Cosatu strives – and has generally succeeded – to deny the unemployed and the potential work giver access to each other.
Opposition to labour brokers, calls for increases in the minimum wage and a range of compulsory regulated collective bargaining processes have one thing in common: they lock in the interests of those already inside the system. They work together to make it either costly or illegal for the potential work giver to look beyond the pool of Cosatu members (i.e. the formally employed) for work seekers ( i.e. the formally unemployed).
The interest of the unemployed is to find work. The various protections and minimum wage and bargaining agreements and elaborate benefit schemes for those already in the system are of no interest to the unemployed who benefit nothing from these goods. In fact these "goods" impose a huge cost pressure on the work giver such that he or she will do everything possible to keep employment to a minimum.
Cosatu's 10th annual congress closed this last week to much self-congratulation, much of it deserved. Trade unions have undoubtedly saved capitalism from itself. The logic of the individual capitalist is to pay as little as possible (in wages and working conditions). It is only by the banding together of workers and the advancing of their collective interests (against the individual employer, through strikes and boycotts, and within the state and legislature itself) that working conditions have evolved into the human rights compliant work culture of modern capitalism.
But we forget at our peril that Cosatu represents a special interest group not coterminous with the national interest or the interests of all citizens. In important ways some of Cosatu's interests are inherently opposed to the national interest.
Attempting to represent the national interest is the job of the ruling party. Ruling parties can be captured by special interest groups, groups whose interests are at odds with the nation as a whole. Cosatu sometimes crows like it has successfully captured the ruling party. I argue here and here why I believe Cosatu has bitten off more than it can chew and already its crowing, to my ears anyway, is a hollow echo.
A back-to-the-future quote from FDR
September 26, 2009 in Alliance Politics, Black Economic Empowerment, Blade Nzimande, Cosatu, Macro-economics, USA | Leave a comment
Here's FDR in an interesting quote I dug up. It's from about 1935 – in the lead-up to his re-election in 1936 – and it is made to a journalist from the Hearst organisation.
FDR to a journalist in the run-up to the 1936 presidential election
This gives one a sense of how threatening was the Great Depression – to the very system of capitalist accumulation itself. This is, basically, FDR trying to save "the American way of life" from a real and significant challenge by socialists of various hues.
The Great Recession and particularly the excesses in the financial markets that helped bring it on, has strengthened similar force in our world.
The ANC and its alliance partners were ahead of the curve (as bankers like to say) on the family of ideas that FDR came to espouse: more equality, more regulations, more state, more taxation, more protection. The difference, though, is that FDR was trying to save capitalism from its own excesses. For Cosatu and the SACP, at least, they still claim to hope to use the excesses of capitalism against itself.
I remain convinced that the real power in The Alliance is the emerging and burgeoning 'capitalist' elite and the ideas of this class are fundamentally similar to FDR's and fundamentally at odds with the views the leadership of the SACP and Cosatu claim to espouse.
(Note: My cute use of the word "claim" when referring to the views of some Cosatu and the SACP leaders is a result of the fact that I find it impossible to believe that leaders of the ilk of Blade Nzimande genuinely hope for the demise of capitalism when, in fact, they are becoming, in this historical moment and in this country, its main beneficiaries.)
Ruling party's populism – such a clever trick
September 11, 2009 in Alliance Politics, Black Economic Empowerment, Cosatu, Jacob Zuma, Julius Malema, race, SACP | 4 comments
Just how broad a church is a broad church?
The ANC and the Congress Movement has always liked to refer to itself as "a broad church" – which basically means that people of different ideological persuasions should be able to find a home within the movement.
The Ruling Alliance is giving new definition to 'broadness" – and no, this is not a joke about expanding waistlines in the ruling party (which is, frankly, no joke at all.)
Both Genghis Kahn and Mother Theresa would have found a home somewhere in the 'Ruling Alliance' – that is: the African National Congress (with its Youth League and Women's League and uMkhonto we Sizwe vets), Cosatu (and its myriad affiliates) and the South African Communist Party (with its Young Communists League).
Last night the ANC Youth League came out in support of the solidiers who had clashed with police in Pretoria two weeks ago. This after the ANC's Lindiwe Sisulu, Minister of Defence, threatened them with the full extent of the law – and quite right she was, too.
But the point is, it's such a clever trick!
You can have ministers and leaders as diverse as telecoms minister Siphiwe Nyanda and SACP secretary general and Minister of Higher Education Blade Nzimande grossing out on the most expensive luxury cars in the world and you can have Zwelinzima Vavi, secretary general of Cosatu, attacking them for it. All comfortably within the same government.
This really does give new meaning to having your cake and eating it.
When a political movement is able to claim that it represents everyone, it represents no-one. Without a set of policies upon which a party can agree, the party replaces "politics" with "power". If the ANC is not working for a set of policies and ideas then the hidden drivers can become power, wealth and patronage. What else is Julius Malema doing around the same table as Cyril Ramaphosa? What do they have in common? It seems to me that all they have in common is the hope that the Ruling Alliance stays the ruling alliance.
In the real world humans have a host of competing interests; and democracy, parliament and the law is a system for mediating those differences.
So what interests has the Ruling Alliance got in common for which it is prepared to suppress differences of ideology and policy?
There are only two possible answers:
The Ruling Alliance suppresses differences because the broad agenda of transformation is too important to derail for tactical differences and clashes of class and ethnic interests.
The Ruling Alliance suppresses differences of ideology, politics and policy because the benefits (in terms of money, property, power and/or prestige) of participating in government is more important for the individuals and groups concerned.
This is a straightforward clash between being motivated by individual greed and being motivated by concerns for the wellbeing of the struggling majority of South Africans.
I have no doubt that both these tendencies are true and struggling for dominance within The Alliance – and even within individuals within The Alliance. Ultimately one or other of such tendencies must become dominant.
The Polokwane revolution and the new Zuma administration presented themselves as favouring the former (saam staan for transformation) tendency. Not much supports this contention. I, for one, am waiting with (a)bated breath to see which way this thing is heading.
The White Stuff
September 2, 2009 in Crime, race | 3 comments
It is difficult to know whether to laugh or to cry.
So, white refugees are streaming out of the burbs with their loot in big sacks on their aching backs, heading for Canada? The Great Trek II has begun and Brandon Huntley has gone to prepare a place for us in Saskatchewan or Churchill Manitoba? Hmm, can't wait.
You have to ask: what has Canada done to deserve Brandon Huntley?
Brandon Huntley ... stands out like a sore thumb ... hmm, yes he does rather
But then you remember. Oh, yes! His application for refugee status was successful. The panel that interviewed him accepted that he had been attacked 7 times (including 3 stabbings) by black people. Because he was white. Because he "stands out like a sore thumb". They accepted that Brandon's attackers called him a "white dog" and a "settler". Ag shame, man!
So Canada opened the door. So Canada deserves what it gets. And watch out! Here we come, with our braais and boerewors and quaint views about the world. Canada you're gonna love us!
Part of me is delighted by Brandon and the silly Canadian immigration board panel that accepted him in. He might well be exaggerating to bolster his immigration case, but it is certainly within the realms of possibility that his story is true.
The country's crime levels are out of control. There is racial anger swirling around the body politic. The "race card" gets played at every turn by cheating and failed politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen. It's enough already.
But while we rub our hands in glee when the weak puncture the pretensions of the powerful, it is important to remember that the real and most numerous victims of most sorts of crime in this country, especially violent crime, are poor and black. And what has consigned these victims to the bottom of the pile is Apartheid and its ongoing consequences. It's difficult to think that someone called "Brandon" in the grip of trying to convert his tourist visa in Canada is justifiably placed at the centre-stage of South African history.

Eyewitness Noose
by Hugh Turley September 8th, 2006 August 29th, 2020
i enjoyed trey graham's review of ibsen's seldom-staged play An Enemy of the People ("The Great Gadfly," 8/4). It is difficult to think of a person in society like Dr. Thomas Stockmann, willing to sacrifice everything to tell the truth. Unlike Stockmann, Ralph Nader has long had a platform in the press and the pleasure of being a popular figure. He has made a career out of being "the whistleblower" ever since the 1960s, when I was in college.
A better comparison may be Patrick Knowlton, a little-known hero featured in the Washington City Paper over 10 years ago. Mr. Knowlton came forward to tell what he witnessed when deputy White House counsel Vincent Foster was found shot to death at Fort Marcy Park. According to the City Paper (May 24, 1996), Knowlton was harassed and intimidated on the streets of Washington by a team of men after being given a grand jury subpoena by Kenneth Starr. He was defamed by numerous individuals, many of whom were journalists. He was attacked as a delusional conspiracy theorist, a homosexual, and an outright liar. All this just for coming forward to report Mr. Foster's gray car was not at the park. Officially, Foster drove to the park.
No U.S. court would permit Patrick Knowlton's lawsuit for civil rights violations to go forward, not even the Supreme Court. He went into debt and spent years trying to tell the truth. He has not given up. Knowlton's only success was convincing the U.S. Court of Appeals to add his comments to the independent counsel's report on the death of Vincent Foster. Thus, Knowton's rebuttal became part of the official report. But that victory in October of 1997 has never been reported, so it effectively never really happened. Mr. Knowlton, like Dr. Stockmann, truly stands alone against society and is "An Enemy of the People."

New bill aims to crack down on drivers impaired by drugs
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —A new bill is aimed at cracking down on people driving under the influence of drugs.
Under SB 289, introduced by state Sen. Lou Correa, it is illegal for a person to have in his or her blood any detectable amount of drugs while driving, unless it was taken in accordance with a valid prescription from a doctor.
The drugs are from those classified in Schedules I, II, III, or IV of the California Uniform Controlled Substance Act.
Former Sacramento Sheriff John McGinness, who represents the California Peace Officers Association, supports the bill.
"You're talking about something that's per se unlawful, prohibited -- so therefore, its mere presence, coupled with the operation of the motor vehicle, is a threat to the safety of the public," McGinness told KCRA 3, adding that he is waiting for details on how the bill would be enforced.
The most current draft of SB 289 does not make an exception for marijuana, for which patients receive a doctor's recommendation, rather than a prescription.
"It would impact thousands and thousands of patients across the state who are not impaired," said Lanette Davies, a spokesperson for Crusaders for Patients Rights. "There's nothing in their system that's impairing them, but they would be driving illegally if this bill is passed."
Davies said a better way to ensure safe driving would focus on the nature of impairment, rather than the medication in the driver's system.
However, supporters believe SB 289 is a good start in getting drugged drivers off the roads.
"The goal is to minimize the likelihood of anybody operating a motor vehicle on the highways in California when there's evidence to show they have some level of impairment that will compromise your safety and mine," McGinness said.
According to a recent study released by the Office of Traffic Safety, more California drivers tested positive for drugs that may impair driving at 14 percent, than they did for alcohol at 7.3 percent.

Let's get real. Or, more appropriately, let's get reel.
As the Florida Legislature looks ahead to a renewed discussion of rebates to the film industry, let's set aside the rhetoric, forget that a lot of people don't like the politics of those who run the film industry and start with a few basic points that no amount of spin can change.
Point #1: The film industry (and by that we mean theatrical film, television, streaming and other digital content) does create lucrative, permanent jobs in states that aggressively seek its business. History tells us that – from the very beginning and then over and over. Never forget The Great Train Robbery, generally considered the first "modern," full-length motion picture, was shot in 1903 in Milltown, N.J., not Hollywood. This isn't surprising. Thomas Edison was instrumental in developing the early motion picture cameras, and he was a true Jersey Boy.
Yet, the industry migrated to California relatively quickly. Great weather was a factor, to be sure, but cheaper, more abundant land for starters and hospitable local governments were bigger factors. The tax code was simpler then, so the state government initially helped via easy filming permits and labor regulations (California was simpler then, too), but the concept was in place from the beginning: government played a role in helping the film industry.
Today, many states have taken that lesson to heart, starting with our neighbor to the north, Georgia. The Walking Dead may get all the headlines (and ratings), but Georgia's industry is about more than one show. At any time, there are roughly 40 projects filming there. Those are big-time, year-round jobs – no matter what critics claim. Filming even supports the real estate industry. There's a Georgia website devoted to submitting property as potential filming locations.
Bottom line: California got the joke and New Jersey basically had to wait until The Sopranos to return to the film spotlight.
Point #2: The film industry does not "need" money. Producers know what their customers want, they supply it across multiple platforms at affordable prices and reap the resultant rewards. The film industry is one that will always be profitable, at least until the zombie apocalypse that is making Georgians so wealthy.
This second point is critical. The film industry will create jobs wherever it sets roots. Permanent studies are sprouting in Georgia, as chronicled in the current issue of The Economist. The industry will plant roots where local officials make it feel welcome and, more importantly, help it make money. It doesn't need the tax rebates, but it will take them in order to stay as profitable as possible – just the same way businesses throughout Florida take advantage of tax incentives offered by the state and by local governments to help recruit them to our state. Even California, noticing the defection to other states, is offering tax rebates to go along with the easy permitting and spectacular weather.
We'll also acknowledge a corollary to this point. There will be some projects that film in Florida, even without the rebates. Florida lost ABC's Astronaut Wives (a series set here and in Texas but filmed in Louisiana) because of rebates, but Netflix's Emmy nominated Bloodline filmed in the Keys without the rebates. The latter victory may be due in part to the fact that – despite Savannah officials bragging in The Economist that they can replicate Florida there – the reality is that you can't replicate the Keys anywhere. It's one of a kind.

Which brings us to Point #3: This is about politics, plain and simple.
Some who oppose rebates are driven by a pure free-market philosophy that holds government should support all industries equally via a stable economy and tax base, sound infrastructure and quality education/worker training programs. Fair enough. The only problem is it's a theory that works only in a vacuum. A lot of states do that and provide rebates. Guess which states lure the jobs?
There are those, however, who oppose film credits but are fine with tax, labor and environmental regulation incentives for other industries. What's going on there?
If one cuts past the rhetoric what one usually finds in those instances is that there are plenty of people who just don't like the politics of the film industry. Again, fair enough. The Constitution thoroughly protects our right to oppose aggressively those with whom we disagree politically. It's a right we seem to be exercising with increasing frequency and ferocity in recent years.
What should disturb Floridians is that much of the pressure about how we build our state's economy is coming from outside the state, and it is drowning out the things Floridians should really be considering.
Even without the rebates, Florida is investing in the film industry and allowing other economies to reap the benefits. We have film schools at our state universities, and also at private universities that receive indirect state support, and those graduates are leaving Florida to work elsewhere. We need to at least acknowledge the inconsistency in such a policy, something that hasn't really happened so far in the debate.
The people of Savannah weren't right about the Keys, but they are right in general. Florida generally can be replicated elsewhere. As we pointed out in an earlier article, two of the greatest films that ever had Florida as a primary setting, Key Largo and Some Like it Hot, were filmed almost entirely in California. Bloodline is the exception, not the rule.
The film industry supports tourism jobs. There's a lot of talk about Walking Dead tours popular in Georgia right now. Makes sense; the show is white hot or red hot if you count the blood. But, tourism benefits often outlive the show. There are still multiple companies in Hawaii promoting Lost tours, more than five years after the show ended its run. And, of course, Lord of the Rings-themed tours in New Zealand still abound. Florida has known of the positive benefits of the marriage of film and tourism at least since the 1960s. Walt Disney used his weekly show to start promoting his vision for Disney World. During the same period, Miami Beach officials noted the positive tourist impact that came from the Jackie Gleason Show filming there.
Most importantly, it's our future and our debate. People in California, Georgia and Kansas may have the right to try to influence the debate but we have the right, and possibly the duty, to ignore them. As we look to ways to diversify our economy and build our economic future, we should be the ones deciding the jobs we want, and what role our government should play in recruiting them.
That's what we hope this space will do. We're going to tell stories about the Florida film industry and what impact it is having on our economy. We're going to tell stories about how the industry has affected other states. We're going to tell stories of film workers trained here who are employed here, and those who trained here but left to seek work elsewhere. And, we're going to explain the real impact of legislative proposals that impact the industry.
Whatever Florida decides, it should be based on facts.

Obama's Challenge
Title: Obama's Challenge: America's Economic Crisis and the Power of a Transformative Presidency
Published by: Chelsea Green Publishing
Amazon/Audible
Barack Obama approaches the Presidency at a critical moment in American history, facing simultaneous crises of war, the environment, health care, but most especially in the economy. If he is able to rise to the moment, he could join the ranks of a small handful of previous presidents who have been truly transformative, succeeding in fundamentally changing our economy, society, and democracy for the better.
But this will require imaginative and decisive action as Obama takes office, action bolder than he has promised during his campaign, and will be all the more difficult given the undertow of conventional wisdom in Washington and on Wall Street that resists fundamental change. Decades of regressive politics and political gridlock have left America in its most precarious situation since the onset of the Great Depression. The collapse of the housing bubble continues, as does the financial meltdown it triggered; a revival of 1970s style stagflation threatens; incomes continue to lag behind inflation; our household and international debts pile higher; disastrous climate change looms; energy and food prices continue their escalation; and the ranks of un- and under-insured Americans grow as the health insurance system unravels.
Facing their own great challenges, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson rallied the American people to overcome deadlocked politics in order to achieve progressive transformations—abolishing slavery, transcending economic depression, and redeeming the promise of civil rights. In his own way, Ronald Reagan oversaw a grand shift in public attitudes and government direction. Each president used exceptional leadership to change the national mood, and then the national policy.
By appealing to what was most noble in the American spirit, these presidents energized movements for change, and in turn put pressure on themselves and on the Congress to move far beyond what was deemed conceivable. They generated accelerating momentum for far-reaching reforms that proved politically irresistible.
Solutions to our multiple challenges do exist, but they won't be found in overly cautious or expedient quick fixes. With his exceptional skill at appealing to our better angels, Barack Obama could be the right leader at the right time to re-awaken America to the renewed promise of shared prosperity coupled with responsibility towards future generations and the international community with whom we share the Earth. Invoking America's greatest leaders, Robert Kuttner explains how Obama must be a transformative president—or a failed one.
"Bob Kuttner pulls off the all-but-impossible. He hits the high notes with artful precision, lifting expectations and articulating the steps that can make Barack Obama a great president—while setting forth a strong and highly readable call for comprehensive and essential economic change."
—John Sweeney, AFL-CIO President
"Obama's Challenge is the fruit of Bob Kuttner's lifetime of engagé reporting, analysis, and advocacy... it is riveting, brilliant, and persuasive. Kuttner, in concise chapters written with great vigor and clarity, shows what the change could look like if Obama is bold enough to go for it and the gods continue to smile on him."
—Hendrik Hertzberg, from his New Yorker blog
"As Kuttner convincingly argues, a President Barack Obama will have an historic opportunity to radically transform America's direction--but only if he rejects the tired centrist policies of the past and inspires his fellow citizens to forge new progressive paths. Kuttner systematically lays out the case for why Obama should give full voice to a robust progressive message at a time when the American people are suffering from years of conservative policy. Obama's Challenge is an enlightening road map for all Americans who hunger for a change in direction and priorities in America, and who hope Obama can be our leading agent of change."
—Markos Moulitsas Zúniga, founder of DailyKos.com, author of Taking on the System and coauthor of Crashing the Gate
"A manifesto, forceful but fair, by a leading political economist who lays out a bold but solid program if Obama is elected. As current as the morning's newspaper, this book should be read by all activists—especially Barack Obama."
—James MacGregor Burns, author of Leadership
"Robert Kuttner has incisively captured the political moment, underscored by the deepening economic crisis. Lucidly and passionately, he lays out the hurdles facing an Obama presidency and challenges him to seize the moment and achieve greatness by redeeming the promise of America."
—Arianna Huffington, cofounder and editor-in-chief, The Huffington Post
"Kuttner's erudite book is highly recommended for readers of all political persuasions who are open to exploring viable solutions for the current U.S. economic and political crises--especially those in favor of working collectively to arrive at a solution."
"In the latest from Kuttner (The Squandering of America), the liberal author and commentator correctly anticipates the economic failures only recently unfolding, and proposes a bold, transformative plan he believes can only be carried out by presidential candidate Barack Obama. ..."

Q: Android Facebook Login - App Disabled - URL Compliance I've got this alert from fb:

Your app xxx(AppId: xxx) doesn't fully comply with
  our Platform Policies. Since we're striving to improve the Platform
  experience, your app has been deactivated.
Your app is violating Platform Policy 7.9: We or an independent
  auditor acting on our behalf may audit your app, systems, and records

  requests and requests from people who use Facebook to delete user data
  obtained through our Platform. If requested, you must provide us with
  proof that your app complies with our terms.
You can access the full list of our Platform Policies here:
  https://developers.facebook.com/policy/.
You can check your app dashboard to verify if the violating fields are
  now compliant, otherwise you will receive an automated alert as soon
  as we've detected that the fields are compliant.

What the hell do they want from me?? I all use the app for is to retrieve an ID to identify an user, I don't save anything else like name/email and so on, only the ID!
I've checked all the setting fields if there is any warning/alert but it all looks ok.
I have the developement mode because the app isn't published yet and the login still works on the device with my account.
However, when I use the device from someone else then I get this error:
{HttpStatus: 400, errorCode: 100, subErrorCode: 33, errorType: GraphMethodException, errorMessage: Unsupported get request. Object with ID 'xxxx' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api}

It has to do with the restriction I guess?
the ID in Object with ID 'xxxx' is the app ID

A: I had the same issue and I only went to settings > basic below Dashboard on my Facebook App and I checked Add platform > Website > Site URL and changed the value here to a correct URL because I had something like localhost and automatically I resolved my problem.

A: I had received the same policy complain:
Your app is violating Platform Policy 7.9
But my solution was different than the accepted answer. Application dropped on development mode and when I click Live it shows me the error text.
I had published two google play applications that was using the same facebook app, the old one was unpublished but still exist on "
Android >> Google Play Package Name". I just removed the unpublished apps package name from there and the issue immediately resolved.

A: The another possible way to solve this without publishing the IOS and Android apps is to remove the IOS and Android platform from the app which is in live mode.
You can create  another app  keep it in development mode and add IOS , Android in that so these can be tested before you have to publish.

Q: replace non-zero values with random numbers I have a zero-one matrix in MATLAB as follows:
[0 0 0 1 1 1
 0 1 1 0 0 0
 1 0 0 0 0 1
 1 1 1 0 0 0
 0 0 0 1 0 1]

I want to define another matrix including rand values instead of indexes of above matrix by 1. For instance the desired new rand matrix should be:
[0 0 0 0.2 0.2 0.1
 0 0.6 0.7 0 0 0
 0.4 0 0 0 0 0.6
 0.7 0.8 0.5 0 0 0
 0 0 0 0.3 0 0.4]

I used a two nested loop for to find non-zero values from first matrix and replace the rand values instead of them in a new matrix.
Is there any function of matlab to do it automatically, without using two nested loop for?

A: You can do it as follows:
A = ...
[0 0 0 1 1 1;
 0 1 1 0 0 0;
 1 0 0 0 0 1;
 1 1 1 0 0 0;
 0 0 0 1 0 1];

B = rand(size(A));
A(logical(A)) = B(logical(A));

A =

         0         0         0    0.1320    0.2348    0.1690
         0    0.3377    0.3897         0         0         0
    0.9027         0         0         0         0    0.7317
    0.9448    0.3692    0.4039         0         0         0
         0         0         0    0.0598         0    0.4509

(I just took the basic rand-function, adjust it, as you need it)

A: You can slightly improve thewaywewalk's answer by generating only as many random numbers as you need. As a bonus, this approach allows to do everything in one line:
A(logical(A)) = rand(1,nnz(A));

A: If you're trying to replace the ones in matrix A with random numbers then you don't need any looping at all.
Here's one method.
a = double(rand(5,5)>.5); % Your binary matrix should be type double.
n = sum(a(:));            % Count the 1's.
a(a>0) = rand(1,n);       % Replace the ones with rands.

A: If 'l' is a matrix containing zeros and non-zeros. Consider the scenarios below answering this question :

*

*Replace all the zeros in matrix with random numbers :
l(l==0) = randn(1,size(l(l==0),1));

*Replace all the positive values with random numbers :
l(l>0) = randn(1,size(l(l>0),1));

*Replace all the negative values with random numbers :
l(l<0) = randn(1,size(l(l<0),1));

*Replace all the 'NaN' with  random numbers.
l(isnan(l)) = randn(1,size(l(isnan(l)),1));

Khloe Kardashian Wears Mesh Bodysuit On The Cover Of Complex Magazine
'Creative director' Kim Kardashian deems this Khloe's "sexiest shoot yet."
Madelyn Chung The Huffington Post Canada
It's Khloe Kardashian's time to shine!
The 31-year-old reality TV star covers Complex magazine's August/September 2015 issue, and let's just say it leaves very little to the imagination.
Photographed by Steven Gomillion, the cover features Khloe sitting on a workout bench, back to the camera, wearing a mesh bodysuit with a plunging neckline and leather panels at the front for coverage. Her makeup is kept simple, save for bold eyelashes and a glossy lip, and her hair is slicked back with some volume at the top, and left in gelled waves for a "wet look." Large gold hoops earrings and gold bangles complete the ensemble.
Khloe proudly shared the cover on Instagram, with the caption, "Seriously I can't believe this shoot I did for @complex!!! I'm still blown away by how talented @stevengomillion is!!! Shout out to my glam team @1maryphillips and @cesar4styles. @monicarosestyle you always know how to make me feel so comfortable on set!! You are my security blanket!! I love you all madly!" She also tweeted about how "obsessed" she is with the shoot.
The "Let's Get Physical"-themed spread features the youngest Kardashian sister in an array of high-fashion fitness attire, including a high-cut blue Adidas one-piece and a white Moschino sports bra, which was doused with water by older sister Kim who wanted to "wet the nipples more." (Kim interrupted Khloe's shoot, saying she "arrived to be the 'creative director'"). According to the mag, Kim was very "hands-on" on set, acting like momager Kris to get her little sis ready for "her sexiest shoot yet."
SWISH. http://t.co/iALs5HKf1Qpic.twitter.com/lZA0WX4EGM
— Lauren Nostro (@laurennostro) July 27, 2015
Inside the magazine, Khloe speaks on being protective of her siblings ("I am a lion and these are my cubs. Don't f*ck with my cubs 'cause I will rip your head off), her current relationship with ex-husband Lamar Odom, and thatcontroversial spat with Amber Rose.
"I just feel like it was unnecessary for her to say anything [about Kylie Jenner], and I used her own quote back," she tells the magazine of the Twitter feud. "What I thought was crazy was she was telling my sister to act a certain way or have a curfew, but [she wasn't] doing the same."
However, Kardashian feels she wasn't "slut-shaming" the model. "How was I slut-shaming by saying don't throw stones at glass houses? There was no slut-shaming. I am not one to slut-shame, I have done slutty behavior myself."

Imagine how all the Octobers of the future could have better survivor stats to report if women had access to a non-invasive, painless and highly precise breast cancer screening tool that we could slip on as easily as our favorite workout gear. According to an intriguing CNET article, this fantasy may soon be reality thanks to a new "Smart Bra" that is in the works. The potentially lifesaving garment essentially offers women a wearable, continuous breast exam and appears to have the ability to detect breast cancer tumors earlier and with more accuracy than routine mammography.
Elizabeth Armstrong Moore, the CNET blogger behind the article, points out that one in eight women will face a breast cancer diagnosis at some point in their lives. This is an alarming statistic, so we are all for any new technological breakthroughs that can alter if not eliminate these numbers altogether. If that technology happens to be as comfortable as a sports bra and super accurate to a fault, then we cannot wait to see if this "Smart Bra" continues to live up to its full potential.
We encourage you to watch this video, which goes into easy-to-understand detail about the development and growth of breast cancer tumors and how the First Warning Systems bra works in relation.
To read the full CNET article click here.
Thanks to WYSK reader Steve in Colorado for sending this exciting news our way.
There are many times when I think that modern technology goes too far and too fast. However, if today's advanced technology can provide an earlier, more accurate, and LESS painful type of breast cancer screening, then I am ALL for it. In addition to continued advanced research for the absolute cure of breast cancer, it would be wonderful if the "Smart Bra" became the extraordinary breakthrough we have been waiting for earlier detection. A question that I do not think has been answered is: How long would a woman have to wear this bra? Is it something that we would wear everyday, or something that we put on for just a few minutes every few weeks or so? In Nedra's story (on the First Warning Systems site) she says she wore it for 23 to 48 hours. But this was years ago, so I wonder how long and when it would have to be worn now. WYSK, thank you for this very informative post.

Q: Not working expression Yii!
Please tell me, why this expreesion return 0 records, although database contains data matching this request.
$soldStatus = array('STATUS'=>'Sold','SELLER' => Yii::app()->user->id);
$criteria = new CDbCriteria(array('order'=>'DATE_SALE DESC'));

$startDate = new CDbExpression("NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH");
$stopDate = new CDbExpression("NOW()");

$criteria->addBetweenCondition('DATE_SALE', $startDate, $stopDate);
$allSoldProducts = Products::model()->findAllByAttributes($soldStatus, $criteria);

A: I think the problem is with the CDbExpressions - they are objects, and you try to set them into a funcion where values are needed.
addBetweenCondition
It expects 2 strings and you give it 2 expression objects.
I would change it to this:
$soldStatus = array('STATUS'=>'Sold','SELLER' => Yii::app()->user->id);
$criteria = new CDbCriteria(array('order'=>'DATE_SALE DESC'));

$criteria->addBetweenCondition('DATE_SALE', "NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH", "NOW()");
$allSoldProducts = Products::model()->findAllByAttributes($soldStatus, $criteria);

It's normal to experience problems and unhappiness at times. Different experiences can trigger temporary feelings of worthlessness, disappointment, sadness and self-blame; these feelings are normal and they usually pass after a short time.
Depression becomes an illness when these feelings last for several weeks, are severe and interfere with functioning in your day-to-day life. Depression has been reported by the World Health Organization as one of the leading contributors to the global burden of disease and will soon be the leading cause of disability.
Depression can change your old positive behaviours into new negative behaviours, however, it's important to know there's help available. It's important to seek help as soon as you feel these symptoms progressing as depression can often recur.
Unusually sad mood most of the day and nearly every day. This sad mood is often observed by others.
Treatment options can include medication and counselling. These treatments can be combined with small lifestyle changes like exercising regularly and healthy eating. Early intervention is critical as 70% of people who have one major depressive episode, will suffer from another episode.
Seeking help for depression can help prevent another episode and can give you the proper support you need to manage your depression.


LIVERPOOL reportedly scouted Holland left-back Jetro Willems on Friday night ahead of a potential move.
The 21-year-old, who is his country's first-choice left-back, was in action as the Netherlands suffered defeat to France.
Willems, who now has 16 international caps, has starred for PSV Eindhoven after recovering from an injury which saw him miss the begining of the season.
And website Football Insider claim Liverpool are targeting an £11million deal for the defender.
The Reds have been on the look out for a new left-back with Alberto Moreno's position in the side under threat.
The Spaniard has struggled to win over the Anfield faithful since joining from Sevilla in 2014.
Manchester City have also shown an interest in Willems, who is under contract with PSV until 2017.

That's where I saw it — a green hand wrapped around a door. Leaves and vines grew around the hand as if something escaped the confines of the basement and was now poised to take over the upstairs. Goosebumps: Stay Out of the Basement by R. L. Stine sat on the highest shelf, most of which featured boys with dogs or girls with dolls. Maybe one or two with arm-crossed children rolling their eyes as their apron-clad mother held a rolling pin and chastised them. The hand stood out. The hand grabbed my attention. The hand scared me, but I needed to know what was happening.
Rereading this as an adult, I'm happy this one was my first Goosebumps book. My copy has the new cover that fails to live up to the original, but I'm still happy I own this scary book that holds up as fine children's horror.
I realize this is the new cover, but Goodwill only has so many old covers.
Casey and Margaret Brewer are tired of their father's excuses. They want to play Frisbee with him, but he's always busy. And he's been working every day since he moved his family out to California, a place that Margaret doesn't like because it's "the middle of winter; and there isn't a cloud in the sky, and Casey and I are out in jeans and T-shirts as if it were the middle of summer." Oh no, how terrible it must be to have temperate weather in the second-best state in the union. (First is Nevada — don't @ me.)
Margaret thinks that Mr. Martinez, their father's boss, fired their father for some experiments that went "wrong." She gets curious and encourages Casey to come with her to find out what their father is doing deep in the basement. When they halfway down the basement stairs, their father appears.
He glared up at them angrily, his skin strangely green under the flourescent light fixture. He was holding his right hand, drops of red blood falling onto his white lab coat.
"Stay out of the basement!" he bellowed, in a voice they'd never heard before.
Both kids shrank back, surprised to hear their father scream like that. He was usually so mild and soft-spoken.
"Stay out of the basement," he repeated, holding his bleeding hand. "Don't ever come down here — I'm warning you."
I think the kids just slink away because the next chapter starts with Mrs. Brewer leaving to help care for her sister for a few days. She says she's no worried about the kids, but is worried about Mr. Brewer, particularly that he will become so engrossed in his work that he won't eat. The man himself appears, his hand bandaged despite it being a few weeks after he yelled at them. He takes their mother to the airport as Margaret's friend Diane arrives for some adult-free childhood banter.
Diane is also the one who dares Margaret to go into the basement, because what's a Goosebumps book without some kids daring each other to do some stupid shit. I remember being a kid. We always dared each other to do stupid shit. It's the most realistic thing in the series.
In the basement, they find a "rain forest." It's so hot and humid that Casey decides to take off his shirt and drop it on the floor, just like an actual kid. That's when they notice a tall treelike plant actually breathing. Casey touches it and he goes into convulsions!
Of course, it's just a prank. At least the fake out is at the end of chapter three when I'm already invested, instead of the first chapter. The children think the plants are moving and they decide to go back upstairs. They think that their father will never know they were down there, but Casey remembers that he left his t-shirt on the floor.
Casey goes back into the basement to retrieve his shirt, but their father comes home. Margaret is standing at the top of the stairs, urging her brother to return before their father walks through the door. He grabs his shirt but some tendrils grab him. It's not a trick. Actual tendrils grab Casey. They wrestle free, but not before their father catches them.
They insist they didn't touch anything and while their father is disappointed, he is not stark-raving mad. They ask their father about the weird plants, but he refuses to explain their bizarre appearance and behavior to them. The next morning, Margaret finds a lock installed on the basement door.
Dr. Brewer is working so hard to impress his boss, Mr. Martinez, and prove that the university was wrong to fire Dr. Brewer. However, Margaret clings to her idea that something is askew, especially since she sees his research as putting his career ahead of his children, something he hasn't done before. Her suspicions are exacerbated when she sees him devour something from a bag "greedily" and stash it under the sink before returning to the basement.
When she was sure he had gone downstairs, Margaret walked eagerly into the kitchen. She had to know whather father had been eating so greedily, so hungrily.
She pulled open the sink cabinet, reached into the trash, and pulled out the crinkled-up bag.
Then she gasped aloud asher eyes ran over the label.
Her father, she saw, had been devouring plant food.
Oh, shit, Margaret! The call is coming from inside the house! Get out of there!
She tries to confide in Casey her findings, but, like every shitty man, he doesn't take her concerns seriously. There are more frustrating scenes wherein others excuse Dr. Brewer's neglect as something he's doing for the sake of his career while dismissing Margaret. This whole book is like a metaphor for women's struggles. A young woman is supposed to just accept a man's egregious behavior for the sake of his own interests even to her detriment. I feel ya, Margaret. We cuz.
While Margaret is growing up with a distant father, Dr. Brewer is growing green hair. He is also skulking around the house and scaring his daughter and is sleeping in a bed that is covered in earthworms and wet, black clumps of dirt. Finally, he tries to feed his children a strange substance bearing a resemblance to dirt. This is the straw that breaks Casey's back, so to speak. He is finally curious enough to investigate the basement with Margaret.
They get their opportunity when Dr. Brewer leaves. In the basement, they find a jacket belonging to Mr. Martinez. They come to the conclusion that plants may have eaten the big boss man (the character in the book, not the wrestler), but their father insists Mr. Martinez just got hot and left his jacket. A few days later, they also discover Mr. Martinez's shoes and pants, hurting their father's theory that he just got hot. You don't just take off your pants in someone else's house, even the house of your subordinate.
During another excursion into the basement (and after some heavy lock destruction), they peer deeper into the experimental jungle.
She took a deep breath and held it. Then, ignoring the moans, the signs, the green arms reaching out to her, the hideous green-tomato faces, she plunged through the plants to the back of the closet.
"Dad!" she cried.
Her father was lying on the floor, his hands and feet tied tightly with plant tendrils, his mouth gagged by a wide strip of elastic tape.
"It can't be Dad!" Casey said, still holding her by the shoulders. "Dad is at the airport — remember?"
She reached downand tugged at the elastic tape until she managed to get it off.
"Kids — I'm so glad to see you," Dr. Brewer said. "Quick! Untie me."
"How did you get in here?" Casey demanded, standing above him, hands on his hips, staring down at him suspicisously. "We saw you leave for the airport."
"That wasn't me," Dr. Brewer said. "I've been locked in here for days."
"Huh?" Casey cried.
"But we saw you-" Margaret started.
"It wasn't me. It's a plant," Dr. Brewer said. "It's a plant copy of me."
Holy shit! It's a plant! Metaphorically and literally! The story continues with a classic, "I'm your real father! Shoot him!" "No, shoot him! He's the impostor!" only with a little girl holding an ax, which is my new aesthetic.
Margaret figures out who her real father is when she stabs the father from the basement in the arm. He bleeds red blood, so she hands him the ax. Then her real father cleaves the impostor in two! Take it back. A father who was held captive by a sentient plant cutting his captor in twain with an ax from his daughter is my new aesthetic.
In the end, the Brewers destroy the plants and return the equipment to the university, but R. L. Stine isn't finished.
It's so peaceful now, [Margaret] thought happily.
So peaceful here. And so beautiful.
The smile faded from her face when she heard the whisper at her feet. "Margaret."
She looked down to see a small yellow flower nudging her ankle.
"Margaret," the flower whispered, "help me. Please — help me. I'm your father. Really! I'm your real father."
Fucking perfect. This book was perfect.
I'm happy this was my first Goosebumps book. I'm happy this was the book I chose from all the other books on that bookshelf at the doctor's office. Thank you to whoever put that book on that shelf. This book started my lifelong love of all things scary and creepy. I'm even happier that this book holds up. I like the punniness. I like Margaret. I like the mystery. Everything about this book is perfect.
Stay Out of the Basement was the second book of the Goosebumps series and, especially with Welcome to Dead House as the first, I can see why this series is revered in the Pantheon of Young Adult Fiction, exactly where it should be.

One of the most beautiful tree fruits, we have nine varieties of Sweet Cherries at Parlee Farms in Tyngsboro, MA (north of Boston, MA) covering about 1.5 acres. The 1,400 trees are on a full-dwarf root stock, so they are easy for everyone to harvest. We have seven varieties, with the primary varieties being Black Gold and Regina ~ both sweet, red cherries which grow well at our location.
Massachusetts Cherries have a very short season – only a couple of weeks from late June – mid July. The pick your own cherries season can be further reduced by weather conditions, especially rain when the fruit is present. So, we hope you can enjoy this wonderful fruit in the short time it is available!
When cherries are available, picking conditions and pricing can be found at TODAY'S FARM NEWS. Thank you!
Cherries are very perishable and do not ripen after picking. So pick fully ripe cherries and refrigerate soon after purchase. These can remain fresh in your refrigerator for at least 2 days.
Studies have shown cherries to have plenty of health benefits! They are high in antioxidants, are low in cholesterol, fat, and sodium. They are also a good source of Vitamin C and fiber.

Having a ball for a good cause
What do Eric Shanteau, Scott Hamilton, and Lance Armstrong have in common (besides being better athletes than most of us)? They're some of the nearly 170,000 men living in the United States who have survived testicular cancer, which usually affects young men ages 15 to 40.
It's not common but it is one of the most curable. According to the American Cancer Society, a man's lifetime risk for developing testicular cancer is one in 300. His risk of dying from the disease is fortunately much lower, at one in 5,000. And once he has been declared to be "cancer free,"his five-year survival rate is roughly 95 percent or higher.
That's a happy statistic for our foodie pals at Eatocracy. They're celebrating a friend's good news that he has beaten his own bout of the disease. To celebrate, they're having a ball with some aptly themed recipes and asking for your favorites. Go ahead and share your own! And while you're at it, now is the perfect time to remind the men in your life about the importance of prevention and screening for testicular cancer at least once a month.

Can vitamin B12 prevent mosquito-transmitted diseases?
From Peter Bartok, Houston, Texas
"Malaria is a major problem in the world. As a geologist I have done significant field work in malaria infested regions. Before doing work in Bolivia (several years ago) a doctor told me to take 1000 units of B12 three times a day. B12 exudes a mosquito repellent smell. During the six weeks I was there I was not bitten by mosquitoes. Can B12 prevent mosquito transmitted diseases? Thanks for being available."

FDA freezes long-term study on diabetes drug
A long-term study on the safety of a popular diabetes drug was put on hold Wednesday by the Food and Drug Administration, while the FDA considers whether it's too dangerous to continue. Several large studies have linked the drug, Avandia, to a higher risk of heart attacks and other heart problems. While other studies have not found the same risk, last week an FDA advisory panel recommended that the drug not be sold without a stronger warning label or possibly limits on who could receive it.

What is Glenn Beck's eye disorder?
Fox TV personality Glenn Beck announced last week that he has an eye disorder known as macular dystrophy and "could go blind the next year."
Beck began to cry during the speech at his "American Revival" tour in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Saturday.
"I know what my wife looks like," he said. "I know what my children look like. I have a great imagination. I know what color looks like. But I love to read."

Voice analysis may help ID autism early
Analyzing a child's voice may someday be a way to screen children for autism, according to a new study.
"What the study does is apply a technology that is capable of identifying sound differences in children's speech," says Steve Warren, a behavioral psychologist at the University of Kansas and one of the study's authors.
Researchers developed a new method for using an automated voice analysis system called LENA, which appears to pick out voice patterns of children with language disorders related to autism and language delay. FULL POST

Obese patients need larger, more costly supplies
Could the obesity epidemic be leading to a boom in business for U.S. specialty medical suppliers?
A June 2010 survey from the medical supply contractor, Novation, which includes hospitals in the University HealthSystem Consortium and VHA member health care organizations, found that a majority of the facilities had purchased at least one type of bariatric equipment including lifts, beds, stretchers or transfer devices to accommodate the rise in morbidly obese patients, people with a body mass index of 40 or greater. Nearly 80 percent of the hospitals also reported using special wheelchairs, walkers and blood pressure cuffs for larger patients. The supplies, though needed, are also very costly.

Q: flask mail error "SMTPServerDisconnected('please run connect() first')" I am trying to send bulk emails with flask mail... here is my code
users = models.User.query.filter_by(query_email_notification=1).all()
    if users:
        # Bulk emails... keep connection open
        with app.app_context():
            with mail.connect() as conn:
                for user in users:
                    subject = "subject"
                    message = "message"
                    msg = Message(recipients=[user.email],
                                  body=message,
                                  subject=subject,
                                  sender='myemail@gmail.com')

                    conn.send(msg)

and my flask mail setup is as follows
from flask_mail import Message
app.config.update(dict(
    DEBUG = True,
    MAIL_SERVER = 'smtp.gmail.com',
    MAIL_PORT = 587,
    MAIL_USE_TLS = True,
    MAIL_USE_SSL = False,
    MAIL_USERNAME = 'myemail@gmail.com',
    MAIL_PASSWORD = 'password',
))

mail.init_app(app)

this works for a certain number of emails, but after about 100 emails I get
    raise SMTPServerDisconnected('please run connect() first')
smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected: please run connect() first

I noticed that gmail limits the number of emails per day to 2000, but I made sure I do not hit that limit.
any ideas what else I could check?
Is the MAIL_MAX_EMAILS config variable a solution? It will reconnect after a certain number of emails send...?
I am looking for a reliable solution. So if sending many emails through gmail is not a good choice, what else would you recommend?
thanks
carl

A: Google drops the connection thinking it is a spam. Use a waiting time after each message sent successfully, something like:
time.sleep(80)

This will wait 80 seconds.


Good for you Chris!! Really happy for you....now make sure you get in some shop time before the "big day".
So, that's news - comming from Loveland?????
Seriously, Chris, Congrats to you & the MRS.
When the time comes, are you going to find out if it will be a boy or girl?
Some of my Male friends did not want to know,beforehand. the Mothers-to-be seem to always want to know.
Hope everything works out great for you both.
Now, get busy in that shop!!!
Congrats, Chris! I guess taking some time away from the shop paid off... ;) Seriously, that's wonderful news!
Congrats, Chris, that's great news. Like Donnie said, you might want to get in some shop time over the next few months while you still are sleeping relatively normal hours.
That has been the best (and hardest) job I've undertaken.
Congrats!!! That is the best news I have heard today. My youngest turned one today. It is a great experience.
Congratulations Chris!!!!! It's a wonderful part of life having children. I myself am playing with grandchildren these days.
Just wait till the baby gets here. Then the "fun" really starts. Congrats. to you and your wife. Here's to your new baby.
