FIFA 18: EA Sports Just Added a Load of New Faces to the Game
November 14, 2017 myadmin
EA Sports has added more than 50 players' faces to FIFA 18. The move follows pressure from fans since the launch of game, demanding more realistic faces across the board.
While the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and other well-known stars have been captured in pixel-perfect detail, other players have been captured far less accurately.
A total of 53 players – from world-class talent to lesser-known stars – have now received new, more realistic looking faces. Huddersfield Town sees most of their squad get a new look, with midfielder Danny Williams, goalkeeper Jonas Lossl and striker Laurent Depoitre among those to get the treatment.
They join the likes of Besiktas star Ricardo Quaresma and AC Milan's Andre Silva. Six other players have had their faces tweaked – Giovinco, David Silva, Andros Townsend, Raheem Sterling, Neymar and Hugo Lloris.
Here's the full list – and to see how the look, the excellent Gamesradar has screen-grabbed a load of them here

EA Sports Kicks off Global FIFA eWorld Cup 2018 Online Competition
November 7, 2017 myadmin
EA Sports has announced a new global eSports event for FIFA 18 culminating in the first-ever FIFA eWorld Cup next August. Qualifying begins November 3, with several rounds leading up to the main event.
From November 2017 through July 2018, the tournament will feature several qualifying rounds where you can compete for a spot in the playoffs. There will also be qualifying events for recognized pro players and current teams to gain an entry.
By next summer, the field will be winnowed down to 128 participants — half on Xbox One and half on PlayStation 4. Dubbed the "Champions Cup," these players will face off against each other in live events until only eight remain. Then it's on to the FIFA eWorld Cup Grand Final.
Todd Sitrin, SVP and GM of the Competitive Gaming Division at EA, said in a press release that the plan is to build on the rising popularity of eSports in the new worldwide tournament. "Last year was a pivotal achievement for competitive FIFA, engaging millions of competitors and spectators through world football," he said. "In partnership with FIFA, we're accelerating the growth of competitive gaming."
The Madden Championship has been a huge success, and EA is hoping to replicate its popularity by partnering with FIFA. "Competitive FIFA is a global entertainment phenomenon that maximizes the combined power of world football and competitive gaming in unprecedented fashion," Philippe Le Floc'h, Chief Commercial Officer at FIFA, said.
To participate, you need to first register for the tournament. You can qualify through FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) online competitions and at live qualifying events throughout the year. Get ready for the qualifying events with our FIFA 18 FUT strategy guide to build your team into a powerhouse. It's available now, bu if you're new to the FIFA series, you can also grab the free demo and try it out.
We found FIFA 18 to be a game you can play for months at a time, with stunning graphics and smooth, engaging competitions. The Ultimate Team mode adds "Squad Battles," allowing you so score new cards and coins by playing single-player matches and comparing your performance to others in online leaderboards.
EA is promising lots more information about the various tournaments soon, with official leagues representing real-life clubs, so start practicing now and get ready to face off against competitors from all over the globe.

Some Essential FIFA 18 Tips: New Defending and Career Mode Advice
October 26, 2017 myadmin
I've played 900 games of FIFAs 17 and 18 over the last year. Just to reaffirm that, in old-school Vidiprinter speak: Nine. Hundred. Games.
"While I'm still way off competing for six figures at eSports events, the sheer wealth of time spent in Career and Ultimate Team modes, coupled with behind-closed-doors access to the EA Canada development team, have enabled me to pick up some sneaky advanced tips – tips which I'm now going to share with you.
"These should aid players of all abilities – from two-button novice to perennial Weekend League contender."
New defending requires ditching of old habits
There have been claims that FIFA 18's defending model is broken – mostly by FIFA 17 players unaware of the new 'hard tackle', which is halfway between a standing tackle and a slide.
In fact, once you master that new tackle, it's much improved. The key is to hold down the tackle button for slightly longer than a second before making a challenge, rather than repeatedly tapping it as with previous years. Think of it as charging up a Street Fighter move; it's about reading the game in advance, rather than reacting to it.
There are also ways you can increase your chances of making key blocks in and around the box, Burnley style. One is to deploy a 4-4-2 (2) formation with two CDMs taller than 6ft 2in. Positionally they'll help shield your centre-backs, and their sheer size means outstretched legs deflect numerous goalbound shots away. It's like a Tony Pulis dream.
Also experiment in using the right stick, rather than L1/LB, to switch between players. This takes the choice of who you control out of the AI's hands, instead placing it in yours.
Want more goals? Turn handballs back on
Tucked away in the Settings menu is an option which, when changed from default, will immediately increase the number of goals you score. Handballs were introduced in FIFA 11 but 'removed' a year later after fans complained that the engine couldn't differentiate between deliberate and accidental. Except they weren't removed at all – merely switched off unless the game owner decided otherwise.
To flick them back on, head to Customise, then Settings, then Games Settings, then Rules. 'Handball' is the fourth option down. Most offline FIFA players set the difficulty at a level where they have more shots than their AI opposition, meaning more time spent in an opponent's box in any given game – and therefore more chance of ball striking hand.
When it does, you earn a penalty every time – we're seeing one in every five or six games. The downside is you'll occasionally concede one too, but it's definitely a change that benefits human player far more than AI.
Height is the most important keeper attribute
Some advice given to FFT by lead gameplay producer Sam Rivera ahead of FIFA 17's release remains true this year – particularly in the case of those gangly guys between the sticks. "Two specific attributes [are critical]," said Rivera. "They are the player's mass – how big they are – and their strength attribute. We combine those values to determine how strong the guys are. The bigger the player, the better he'll be."
There's a simple reason Asmir Begovic and Jack Butland are considered FIFA's most overpowered Prem keepers: at 6ft 6in and 6ft 5in respectively, their height enables them to reach shots and crosses that their stats suggest should be beyond them. Fraser Forster, at 6ft 7in, is also a colossus despite his 78 OVR.
From the other major leagues, Costel Pantilimon (La Liga, 6ft 7in), Michael Esser (Bundesliga, 6ft 5in) and Gianluigi Donnarumma (Calcio A, 6ft 5in) are all worth consideration for your Career Mode and/or FUT squad.

FIFA 18: These are the Fastest Players You Need to Build the Ultimate Team
Pace is a massive part of FIFA, and if you're building an Ultimate Team, you'll often need the quickest players to counter everyone else's speedsters.
Even the FIFA esports professionals use teams with fast players, so that should give you an idea of what you should be doing for your matches at home.
Be warned though, unless you're lucky enough to open them in a pack, the players on this list will be super pricey on the transfer market.
Hands down the fastest player in the world is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. His normal card has a pace of 96. However, he also has an upgraded In Form where it's bumped up even further to 97. He's not just all about the speed either, as his attacking stats are great too.
Jonathan Biabiany
Challenging for Aubameyang's crown right now is Jonathan Biabiany. The Frenchman plays for Sparta Prague, and they're definitely glad of his pace. His stats aren't quite as good as Aubameyang's, but he can certainly dribble down the wing and put a cross in.
Ernest Asante
Of course, not all the fastest players have gold cards. Ernest Asante is a Ghanaian winger who plays for Danish team FC Nordsjælland. The 28 year old has a huge 95 pace in FIFA 18, though his other stats don't quite stack up.
Mathis Bolly
Mathis Bolly, is another lesser known player, but his German second division club SpVgg Greuther Furth certainly know all about him. The right midfielder also has a pace of 95, and could be an interesting addition to a silver team.
Jurgen Damm
Back to the gold players now with Jurgen Damm, a Mexican player who plays for Liga MX club Tigres UANL. He's also got a pace of 95, and it appears the majority of fastest players play on the right flank.
Hector Bellerin
The first defender on the list, Arsenal's Bellerin has proved over the past few years that he's one of the fastest players in the Premier League. The right back from Spain has a pace of 95, and is often a hot commodity on the transfer market.
How to Quickly Earn FIFA Coins in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team

Get the best cheap players for Ultimate Team and learn about OTW cards. Squad Building Challenges explained, and FUT 18 Card Packs detailed. Squad Battles, How to Beat Teams on Legendary. Ultimate Scream event detailed.
In FIFA 18 Ultimate Team FIFA Coins are key. You need them to buy players and consumables, and learning how to get as many as possible is essential if you want to avoid spending any real world money. In this FIFA 18 Ultimate Team How to Earn FIFA Coins guide we'll detail the best ways to earn FIFA coins easily in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team, and go over the activities you can repeat over and over to ensure your FIFA 18 coin balance is always as high as possible.
How to Earn FIFA 18 Coins Quickly and Easily in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team
This FIFA 18 Ultimate Team guide is focused on how to earn FIFA Coins quickly and easily. We'll go over the various daily and weekly activities you can take part in, plus give some tips on how to play the transfer market to make more FIFA Coins.
Squad Battles are a Huge FIFA 18 Coin Earner in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team
We've got a full guide for Squad Battles in FIFA 18, but the short of it is that taking part in the weekly squad battles can earn you a LOT of FIFA Coins. Each match earns you coins and the better you do the higher you'll rank, and the better the prizes you win will be. Get involved. It's worth it.
Squad Building Challenges Earn you FIFA 18 Coins
FIFA 18 Ultimate Team makes building squads its own puzzle mini game. Squad Building Challenges in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team are added all the time (some with time limits, some without) and task you with building a squad to meet certain criteria. Each challenge includes numerous puzzles, each with its own reward (sometimes tradable, sometimes not) before you earn the big prize for completing the whole challenge.
If you've built up a large roster of players you should be able to complete a number of these fairly easily and potentially earn big FIFA Coin rewards or players that can be sold for coins. Putting suitable players for live Squad Building Challenges onto the transfer market should also help you bag some FIFA Coins.
We'd suggest that Squad Building challenges are not as much fun to play as Squad Battles, but they can be played when you don't have access to a console or PC to play FIFA 18.
Web App – Daily FIFA 18 Coin Rewards
The FIFA 18 web app is free to use if you have an EA account and have played FIFA 18. Every day you log in you'll get a FIFA Coin reward of some sort. The web app is also a useful way to take part in the Squad Building Challenges and manage your transfers if you're away from you console or gaming PC.
Team of the Week Challenge net you FIFA Coins
Take on the Team of the Week and you'll earn a nice sum of FIFA Coins. The harder the difficulty you choose, the more coins you'll earn.
Sell to Swap Unwanted Players for FIFA Coins
This is obvious, but if you have players sat around you can either use them to complete Squad Building Challenges or sell them (as long as they are tradable). List every play you don't need and make some coins.
Daily and Weekly Objectives Earn you FIFA Coins for Hardly Trying in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team
FIFA 18 Ultimate Team's Daily Objectives and Weekly Objectives are an easy way to earn FIFA Coin rewards. Each time you boot up FIFA 18, check out the objectives and see if there any any you can complete while playing your usual games. Some rewards are FIFA Coins and others are card packs, but pack contents can be sold on the transfer market.

Growing up in Macedonia, Vesna Dimitrieska began learning English at age 11. "I loved the very first class I took," she says. Learning a new language wasn't threatening; it was an adventure.
Project Coordinator Susan Garcia says the program "fills a need and narrows a gap" in the teaching of foreign languages. "In the United States we don't emphasize a lot of the less commonly taught languages, and even when we do teach foreign language, it's often not until middle school," she says. "But the best time to start language instruction is at a very young age, as early as preschool." Bridges offers instruction in languages including Arabic, Chinese, Mongolian, Russian, and Zulu to children as young as age 3.
"The Global Center swears by its responsibility to reach far beyond the Bloomington campus, and we are extremely proud that the now award-winning Bridges program exemplifies this commitment in its innovative and collaborative community programming," says Hilary Kahn, director of the Global Center. One of 11 federally funded Title VI area studies centers in the School of Global and International Studies at IU, Bridges is supported by IU's School of Education, several other Title VI centers, and three community partners — Banneker Community Center, Girls Inc. of Monroe County, and Monroe County Public Library.

Q: How can i filter array on object in javascript I have an array named files:
        files = [
            {
                id: "1",
                title: "aras",
                price: 100,
                size: 25,
                tools: [
                    "Hammer",
                    "Zip",
                    "Line",
                    "Nexti"
                    ]
            },
            {
                id: "2",
                title: "yasio",
                price: 150,
                size: 30,
                tools: [
                    "Hammer",
                    "Zip",
                    ]
            },
            {
                id: "3",
                title: "janio",
                price: 200,
                size: 30,
                tools: [
                    "Line",
                    "Nexti"
                    ]
            },
            {
                id: "4",
                title: "chashio",
                price: 400,
                size: 35,
                tools: [
                    "Nexti"
                    ]
            },

          ]

I want to filter this object, for example, to get the array:  prices between 90 to 150 and sizes between 25 to 40 and tools to include Hammer and Zip.
output must be:
{id: "1", title: "aras", price: 100, size: 25,tools:[...]},
{id: "2", title: "aras", price: 150, size: 30,tools:[...]},
{id: "4", title: "aras", price: 90,  size: 40,tools:[...]},

How can i do it?

A: files.filter(function(file){
            return ((file.price>= 90 && file.price<=150) && (file.size >= 25 && file.size <= 40))
    })

A: All you need to use Array.prototype.filter() to return items which satisfies the following condition:
(price>=90 && price <= 150) && (size >= 25 && size <= 40)

var files = [
  {id: "1", title: "aras", price: 100, size: 25, tools: ["Hammer","Zip","Line","Nexti"] },
  {id: "2", title: "aras", price: 150, size: 30, tools: ["Hammer","Zip"]},

Campbell's "Adios" video drops
Monday, July 24, 2017 – The video for "Adi"s," the Jimmy Webb-penned title track of Glen Campbell's farewell album was released today via CTM.
Directed by Peter Zavadil, the director behind videos for Eric Church, Lady Antebellum and The Black Keys, the video features archival videos and photos of Campbell interspersed between the story of his guitar journeying from Nashville to California where it plays its last note. It begins with Glen's daughter Ashley Campbell handing off the guitar in Nashville and culminates with his grandson Jeremy Olson giving the six string an emotional sendoff.
"In my view, "Adios" is Glen's farewell to the spotlight. I wanted the music video to reflect those sentiments," said Zavadil. "The guitar is a symbol of Glen's legacy...a 'spiritual baton' as it were, carried on by all those influenced by his music, beginning with one of his daughters and ending with one of his grandsons. The fact that no one will ever hold a match to Glen's skill on the guitar is memorialized by giving his guitar a proper 'Viking Funeral' on the California coast. The project truly was an honor and an adventure."
Campbell's daughter, Ashley, who is following her father's footsteps and performs banjo and sings backing vocals throughout, opens the video by passing off the guitar and thus starting its last tour. "My father's music has touched so many people's lives so I hope that this video will resonate with a lot of people," said Ashley. "Music moves through us all in different ways, lighting a fire in each of us. That fire will always be burning as music keeps moving and as each of us continues to pass the torch."
Several generations of the Campbell family are featured in the video as it concludes with Olson in the final goodbye. Olson said, "My grandfather is a man I've loved and admired my entire life. The emotion when dealing with a project that is his last, sung his unique way, really hit home and brought back all the amazing memories he and I have shared. This single and album truly encompasses his career and is something I know he would be proud of, which is why I couldn't be more honored to be involved."
"Adios" was released on June 9 via UMe.

CD reviews for Glen Campbell
Sings for the King
At first glance it may seem an unlikely connection, that which tied Glen Campbell, the so-called Rhinestone Cowboy, with the undisputed King of Rock & Roll, Elvis Presley. Nevertheless, it was a relationship that spawned several years, mostly during Elvis' lean period in the mid '60s and Campbell's tenure as part of that famed studio ensemble, the Wrecking Crew. As the decade wore on, both men accelerated in prominence, Elvis via his 1968 televised comeback special and Campbell ...
British Live Performance
Glen Campbell was in fine voice for this 1990 Doncaster, England concert that features strong performances of many of his classic hits and some rare gems, but at times the collection feels a bit dated by the presence of unmemorable tracks from his current album at the time. Campbell's association with songwriter Jim Webb is celebrated nicely not only with megahits "Galveston," "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" and "Wichita Lineman," but one of the highlights is a ...
I'll Be Me Soundtrack
In what will likely become the swansong to Glen Campbell's prolific 50-plus year career, "I'll Be Me" documents both the life and failing health of a man long considered an American icon. While Campbell's battle with Alzheimer's disease is well known, it's still difficult to witness the awful effects of a horrible disease that's effectively robbed him of his musical abilities, cognizance and ability to live life the way anyone of us would wish. ...

SINGAPORE - The most common underlying cause driving families to seek therapy is the lack of intimacy in their relationships, a Muslim welfare organisation has found.
Out of 1,572 cases of families and couples seeking therapy seen by the Singapore Muslim Women's Association (PPIS) since 2015, 95 per cent can be attributed to the lack of understanding and the practising of intimacy.
To address this, the association is holding a two-day symposium at Concorde Hotel on Wednesday (April 11) and Thursday to encourage discussions about intimacy and culture.
The event aims to bring intimacy to the forefront of conversations among practitioners working with families, PPIS said in a statement.
Participants will discuss intimacy across cultures and the importance in expanding the concept of intimacy to multiple contexts such as addiction, in working with families. They will learn ways to nurture intimacy in couple and family interactions, and find out about new research and writing tools in the practice, PPIS added.
At the event, Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs, told reporters: "The most important thing is to get into the dynamics of a family. I think we have to go down to the basic fundamental level - what brings couples together, and what is it we can do to help them to strengthen their relationships."
PPIS, a non-profit organisation that helps women and families by providing family services, student care and early childhood education, started a Family Therapy Institute to offer family therapy services in 2015.
Madam Maimunah Mosli, the clinical supervisor and principal family therapist leading the PPIS Family Therapy Institute, told reporters the definition of intimacy must be expanded beyond that which is sexual in nature.
Couples must be more willing to express their emotional vulnerabilities to feel safe discussing their perceptions of intimacy, she said, adding that this problem is not exclusive to one particular ethnic race.
"The struggle with our community is that people wonder, 'Can I express intimacy in the presence of other people?'", said Madam Maimunah.
She observed that instead of a caring touch, couples might become brusque with their interactions, or misinterpret each other's affection for sexual desire.
Madam Maimunah said many people are not well versed in the rich and complex language of intimacy but families must discuss their emotional, psychological and religious intimacies in order to be in tune with one another for healthy relationships.
Another keynote speaker at the symposium on Wednesday was Mr Terry Real from the United States, an author and family therapist of more than 25 years.
He gave tips to social services practitioners on how to effect lasting change on people they work with, in a more precise and effective manner.
Professionals from fields such as social services and healthcare said they hope to gain greater knowledge on the issue of intimacy from the symposium.
Mr Udhia Kumar, 48, a social worker, said: "I realised that we have to know and be aware of our own intimacy experience and needs, and how it shapes us when we are in conversation with others."


You may have guessed that this post is about cycling.
If you hadn't, guess what? This post is about cycling.
Well, cycling and how things that you can have on or about your person for some four hours then mysteriously disappear when you suddenly recall not having seen them for a while.
Familiarity breeding absentmindedness, perhaps? I have no idea. You be the judge.
So, in a bid to 'up' our cycling prowess to the same levels as the Wine Writer and the Aussie Solicitor - a rather fearsome task - LCM and Tough Mudda (also a fellow Kevinette, as are the other two, we live very sheltered lives you see within restricted social circles) decided to partake in an organised event on Sunday.
Anyway. It was freezing. The thermometer said +2C. We pulled on leg warmers, arm warmers, under layers, thermals, socks, tops, bottoms, fleeces, beanies, jackets, full gloves and windproof protection.
I then pulled on overshoes - essentially a wetsuit-style neoprene cover for cleated cycling shoes - which although not particularly sightly, are very effective (my toes were still frozen until about the 47km mark, but never mind).
Tough Mudda got second dibs on the goodies and had to make do with toe covers, which are, funnily enough, just that: covers that go over the toes of your cycling shoes. Some respite from the cold but not enough (her toes also froze until the halfway mark when we realised her shoes were overtightened and hence restricting circulation... *sigh*).
But we finished. Some 66km later, the longest bike ride ever completed by Tough Mudda, in one piece albeit with *ahem* a few sore 'bits'.
Back to the car, racking of bikes, peeling off leg warmers, arm warmers, under layers, thermals, socks, tops, bottoms, fleeces, beanies, jackets, full gloves and windproof protection. And overshoes and toe covers.
Home to tea and pancakes. Bliss.
Two days later and I am suddenly aware of some missing items in the garage cycle-kit-storage-area-that-doubles-as-a-Halfords-showroom.
Which in itself is no big deal. Except that they weren't strictly mine to lose as both they and the overshoes belong to someone else.
No one less than BB. Erstwhile training partner on her (rapid) way back from injury.
Uh oh. I haven't told her yet. Although she probably knows now if she reads this.
I'll just blame Tough Mudda. She wore them last.
And she also lost one of her gloves. Just one, mind you, not both. So I think the toe covers are keeping the 'gant perdu' company somewhere in the wilderness of the A4 corridor. Or on eBay.
Now, where's that website for buying replacement cycling kit? I might need a tougher helmet as well.


Liverpool defender Ragnar Klavan has joined Serie A side Cagliari for £2m on a two-year contract.
The Estonia captain and centre-back made 53 appearances for Jurgen Klopp's side after joining from German club Augsburg for £4.2m in July 2016.
Klavan, 32, played 28 games last season, including eight Champions League ties.
But he fell out of favour at Anfield, with Virgil van Dijk, Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez preferred.
Cagliari play their first game of the season at Empoli on Sunday.

Q: Eclipse only launches if I delete the plug ins folder in my workspace To give you guys some context, I have very basic experience with Java, and im using Eclipse on windows 7. Whenever I save a project on Eclipse and exit, the next time I try to launch it, it gives me a message telling me there's been an error and to look at the log. If I either delete my whole workspace, or delete the plug ins folder it launches perfectly, but the next time I exit it won't launch again since the plug ins folder is back.
This is a paste of the first two entries of the log, i have no idea what it means.

The European countries that speak the best English
I A FRENCH person who is able to have a proper chat in English, but apparently, I am one of few. According to Jakub Marian's map of the percentage of people speaking English in the European Union, only 39% of French people can hold a conversation in English.
In most European countries, English is a compulsory subject in school, yet, when surveyed by the European Commission in 2012, many Europeans self-reported a poor command of English. This is especially true of countries in Southern and Central continental Europe. In Nordic countries, The Netherlands, and Austria, however, the numbers are very high.
Jakub Marian explains that the values for the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom are linked to the fact that both these countries have an immigrant population whose first language is not English.

Bags of charm in this quirky small hotel. Mill workings decorate the lobby, floors are somewhat uneven, but the character of the place and the idyllic remote location made us fall in love with it.
My wife and I loved this hotel. We only stayed one night as an overnight stop on our way south - 45 minutes from Calais but much better than staying in the town as we usually do. Located in the countryside, a satnav was essential to find it, the beautiful little hotel was charming. Converted from a water mill with the race still flowing the hotel is definitely quirky with lots of uneven steps and different levels would make it difficult for someone unsteady on their feet or in a wheelchair, however it was fine for us. We were looking forward to a meal here as we had been told that the food was very good, unfortunately travel delays meant that we arrived too late but we bought a bottle of wine and had some bread and cheese in the garden and were perfectly satisfied. We will return and try the restaurant. Breakfast did not start until 8am and we had left by then; because of this we were disappointed that there was no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. However, despite a few little disappointments we both slept soundly and enjoyed our one night and look forward to another visit.
In theory, this can't fail – a mill in beautiful hiking country, close to the Channel Tunnel? Trouble is, although everyone is friendly and helpful, everything has a "but". It's well-positioned, with a garden, chairs and loungers , offset by midges etc from the slightly stagnant mill stream. Inside, the lounge also contains a sludge-filled open pool, so the property will always be slightly musty. Our room was spotless – but the bath, with shower fitting, had no curtain or wall mount, so the only way to shower was to squat – and very noisy plumbing for several rooms ran through the room. The laminate flooring didn't quite fit and the tiling had been increased in increments, giving a feeling of a work in progress. On a hot day, there was the problem that the window leading onto a balcony accessed by three other rooms with doors could not be securely left open for ventilation. Dinner was quite reasonable, if not exciting, but a single chicken course plus one ice cream and a bottle of the cheapest wine doubled the price of the stay, making this less attractive for cheap hiking accommodation. Sadly, it never quite gels, and needs a master look and feel plan (with significant investment). The overall feeling is of an older transit camp where people sleep overnight, and the staff go (at 10pm) to wherever they call home. If you only want a place to sleep for one night at Calais, this is a reasonable offering, but (at the moment) I couldn't recommend it for longer stays.
we could not find the hotel because we arrive at 1am ,because the car broke down!we spent the night in the car .we had. notified them about our breakdown.quite distressing.


What happens when the perfect job opportunity appears in front of your eyes but it would require moving to the other side of the continent, moving from the East Coast to the West Coast?
1. I tell myself that it's obviously not the PERFECT job for me since it's not a very convenient location based on my current residence. The perfect job would be the same job description, located within 30 minutes of my house.
2. I start to wonder whether I really can't get my family to consider the West Coast. It's not the first time I've looked at Seattle jobs after all... why not re-initiate that discussion with the family?
3. I remind myself that I've already made other career redirection decisions very recently and I might want to stick to them and stay the course..... for a while.
4. I force myself to remember that a) job announcements can be deceiving and don't necessarily tell me much about what the experience will be like; b) the chances I'd actually get the job should I apply are X %?
Does that mean that the most likely response to dream-like opportunities flashing in front of my eyes is to find excuses for not pursuing them? Or, does is it just a normal second stage: first I get all excited about the opportunity, second I think it through and it's just not going to work... third I either let it go or I try to find a way to make it work... somehow. After all, it's not necessarily the position, paycheck and/or job title, that are of greatest interest to me. What if the real attraction is the nature of the work to be performed?
Here's the job announcement responsible for my "ouch" moment!

Q: Same data in props and state Imagine a Table component, which receives rows as its props.
In my opinion, rows represent component's state as well, since different order of rows results in different view presentation.
Is it okay, to have very same property/data both in state and/or props?
Short code sample
var TableComponent = React.createClass({

  // ...

  getInitialState() {
    return {
      rows: this.props.rows
    };
  },

  // ...

})

React.render(<TableComponent rows={[...]} />, document.body);

A: This is a fairly common (and as far as I know accepted) pattern for React components to receive data from props and store it in state. The only complication to this becomes dealing with new incoming props (say an ajax add or delete that changes the row set in a parent component) and managing the transforms you've applied to the copy in the state (in other words, if a user has sorted the rows of your table by a column and reordered the state copy of the rows, you probably want that to be reflected in the new state from the incoming props).

A: State represents what changes.
You have row data for a table but in the lifecycle of the component, it never changes.
The order of the sorting, or which columns should display or hide etc, this is the table's state.
In your render method you apply to this kind of state to the row data passed in as a property. Your table component can just consider row data to be a static value that it knows how to render in different ways according to it's state.

A: Maybe I was too lazy and overlooked ReactJS' official tips, but one of them refers to very same problem (link).
After reading this I ended up with this solution:
var TableComponent = React.createClass({

    /**
     * Initial component state.
     */
    getInitialState() {
        return {
            sortBy: null,

The Getty Conservation Institute has completed a significant conservation and management project for the tomb of Tutankhamun. The project included a new lighting system, new floor for the tomb, a new air-ventilation system and the cleaning as well as stabilisation of the wall paintings.
I am happy to have been the one who signed the contract with the Getty for this project in 2009. It took about 10 years to finish the work to the end of January 2019. Jim Cuno, the president of the Getty Trust, came to Egypt to witness the work that the Getty was doing under the leadership of Timothy Whalen. The project was supervised in situ by Neville Agnew.
A symposium has been organised at the Mummification Museum to explain all the processes involved in the work, and many members of the Getty attended the event. I consider the project to be the most important for the preservation of the tomb that has been carried out thus far on this tomb which was the most important archaeological discovery in Egypt of the 20th century. This important work will be remembered because conservation preserves history.
Let us take a moment to reflect on the history of this great discovery, the damage that has occurred to the tomb from mass tourism, and when the Getty took over the conservation work. We will then need to assess the 10 years of scientific work inside the tomb and finally to address the question of what we can do now to preserve this essential work and ensure its continuation.
Should we close the tomb to the public and have tourists visit a replica, or should we limit the numbers of visitors to the tomb?
I can identify with Carter's feelings because I am now excavating in the Valley of the Kings with Fathi Yassin, my assistant in the excavation in the western valley. I always keep silent because I expect that they will tell me that we have found a tomb. When I sit inside my tent in the valley and look towards the mountains, I also imagine that there is a tomb waiting to be discovered in this vast area.
The Valley of the Kings is one of the most romantic places on earth. Twenty-six tombs of the most famous kings in the history of the world, the rulers of ancient Egypt during its golden age, have been found there. What really amazes me is the fact that Carter arrived in the valley knowing that since it was his fifth year of work there, he would have no more chances to excavate because Carnarvon's funding was coming to an end.
One of the interesting stories recounted in the many books surrounding his work is that Carter had brought a canary in a cage with him. When the workmen saw it, they said that it would bring good luck, and it did in the form of the discovery of the tomb.
However, when Carter went to his tent after sending the telegram to Carnarvon, a snake had eaten the bird. I talked to Sheikh Ali Abdel-Rassoul, the last member of the Abdel-Rassoul family who found the cache of royal mummies at Deir Al-Bahari in 1881. I asked him if this was true, and Abdel-Rassoul said that he did not see a snake, but that he did hear that the bird had died.
Other people think that the bird lived and was left with the wife of Carter's photographer Harry Burton. But whether it was heralded by the death of this bird or not, there was trouble in store for Carter.
ANALYSIS: I myself carried out interesting work with Tutankhamun when I received a CT scan machine as a gift from the US magazine National Geographic and the German Siemens Company.
I proceeded to scan the mummy, and when I took the lid off and removed the third coffin that topped the mummy, I had a wonderfully memorable moment: meeting the golden king Tutankhamun face to face.
The CT scan revealed that he had had one club foot and one flat foot, so blood had not reached his toes. This is why in his tomb there were around 130 sticks and staves that aided him while walking. He also suffered from malaria.
The project to examine the royal mummies also revealed much about the family of Tutankhamun. With DNA analysis, we were able to determine that the badly preserved mummy found in tomb KV55 was that of Akhenaten, who was the son of Amenhotep III and queen Tiye, as well as the father of Tutankhamun. The mummy found in KV35 known as the "Younger Lady" was found to be the mother of Tutankhamun, but she had no name though she was the daughter of Amenhotep III and queen Tiye.
I found that the mummy of Tutankhamun had suffered a lot in modern times from the breathing of the tourists who visited the tomb, the temperature and humidity inside the tomb, and the dust. We arranged for a showcase to be made in Germany to preserve the mummy and moved the mummy from the sarcophagus to this new showcase.
Of course, millions of people have visited the tomb since it was found in 1922. The tomb has also suffered from this mass tourism; for example, in 2010 there were 10,000 visitors to the tomb every day. The tourists still used flash photography at that time, and we noted damage to the wall scenes due to the moisture in their breath. The scenes had begun to fade, the floors were in bad condition, and there were brown spots on the wall paintings that many thought could be dangerous to them.
Almost every film crew that comes to Egypt also wants to film inside the tomb of Tutankhamun, which accelerates the deterioration. I realised that the scenes on the walls could be damaged forever if this situation continued. I announced to the press that in fewer than 100 years it could be that all of those wonderful tombs would be gone because of the way we were treating them.
We could understand why some people asked for the tomb to be sealed again. Others made other suggestions, such as limiting the number of visitors per day.
When I had observed these problems, I found a reputable institute to save the tomb: for me, it was clear that the Getty would be one for the job. Before I made this decision, I looked at the history of the Getty and recalled the incredible work that the Institute had accomplished at the tomb of Nefertari from 1986 to 1992.
Those who saw this tomb before the Getty did the restoration work saw that it had suffered tremendously from the salt that was leaching from the mountain rock and damaging the scenes on the walls. No one believed that the tomb could have been saved back then.
However, Luis Monreal was in charge at the time as director of the Getty Conservation Institute. This hired a great Italian restorer, Paolo Mora, who led a team of fantastic conservators with young Egyptians who were in training. When I saw the tomb after the work had been carried out, I could not believe that it had been saved and had become so beautiful.
I was recently in front of the tomb and saw a lady exiting from it. She was crying. I went to see what was wrong and was told that she was crying because of the beauty of the tomb. The Getty also achieved a great project to preserve the non-royal mummy of "X" that had been sent to Los Angeles. This was a non-royal mummy to be used as a control experiment for the project.
The Getty designed a showcase and equipped the machines to control the humidity and heat. It also later cooperated with me on the restoration of the Sphinx.
TUTANKHAMUN'S TOMB: In 2009, I met Whalen, who was and still is the director of the Getty Conservation Institute. He is a very nice man and is a scholar and scientist who is respected and knowledgeable about the organisation and supervision of a team on such projects.
The institute began the conservation of Tutankhamun's tomb in 2009 after the agreement with Whalen, who appointed Agnew to supervise the project. Agnew used to meet all the archaeologists who worked in the West Bank at Luxor to discuss the preservation of the West Bank and not just of Tutankhamun's tomb.
The Getty study indicated that the large spots on the walls of the tomb were not dangerous and had had no harmful effects on the scenes. The other issues of the lighting, conservation, and cleaning of the scenes, as well as the replacement of the floor, were carried out using the latest scientific methods to ensure that this work would save the most famous tomb in the world.
The major issue now is what we can do to preserve this tomb in the future. Should we close the tomb to the public and simply use the replica near Howard Carter's rest house?
The number of visitors to the tomb reached about 10,000 a day by 2010, and all of them visit the tomb at least once in the morning. This can damage the tomb and, again, I have to say that tourism is the enemy of archaeology in this case. We need to protect the tomb from tourism.
When I asked Whalen and Agnew to tackle the issue, they did not agree that the tomb should be closed completely. They wanted the Ministry of Antiquities to follow the rules and recommendations that they had written after the work on the tomb was finished and ready for the first visitors.
When the trustees of the Getty Trust came to Egypt, with them was my friend James Cuno, the president of the Getty Trust. I had met Jim Cuno for the first time at Oxford University two years before when we were attending a debate about stolen artefacts in a question-and-answer format. The issue debated was whether stolen artefacts should be returned to their original countries or not.
During the Getty trustees' visit to Egypt, we all had dinner in the golden room at Mohamed Ali's Palace. We were accompanied by Khaled El-Enany, minister of antiquities, and Mustafa Waziri, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities. Cuno asked me about the history of the beautiful room we were in. I smiled because I knew little about the palace's history except that it was built by Mohamed Ali Tawfik, the uncle of king Farouk, in 1903, and had been furnished in 1910 in a variety of artistic styles.
He had lived in it until 1936. The hall was built to be a throne room, and it has Ottoman-style decoration and paintings of the kings of Egypt. He used a throne covered with gold in the French style. We heard this information from the person now in charge of the palace.
We then discussed the ancient tomb and how to implement the Getty's recommendations, because I could see that Whalen and Agnew were really keen on the continuation of their efforts. They thought the ministry should appoint one person to be in charge of the tomb, recommending Ramadan Ahmed Ali who was working in the conservation effort with the Getty team. El-Enany agreed to appoint him, and the discussion happened in the presence of Louise Bryson, the former president of the Getty Trustees.
Cuno and the other members of the board were really happy to come to Egypt to celebrate and see the magnificent work that the institute had done. I met them on their first day in front of the Sphinx and gave them a lecture on the history of the Pyramids as well as the major discoveries that had happened on the site, such as the tombs of the Pyramid builders and the secret doors found inside the Great Pyramid.
I told the trustees about the great work of the Getty Institute in Egypt, especially in the tomb of Nefertari and how Paulo Mora, the restorer, had accomplished a miracle here, as well as the training of the Egyptian conservators. I even said that I had been in the Valley of the Queens doing a TV interview when I saw the lady who had cried because of the tomb's beauty. I mentioned another American tourist that I had met who had told me that he had not been able to believe that something like this tomb could exist and that the artists who created it should have had their names engraved in gold in history.
I could see that the Getty trustees were really delighted to see the Getty Institute's latest contribution to the conservation of the tomb of Tutankhamun. The discussion of the future of the tomb took place between me, the minister, Cuno, and Whalen. We talked about the great project that the Getty had done in the site management of the Valley of the Queens.
LOOKING FORWARD: A major project had also been launched to protect the Valley of the Queens from floods, and the Getty did a study to preserve the valley though a very comprehensive site-management plan.
The study was finished in 2010, but we could not implement its recommendations then because of the rise in the price of the dollar. I believed we needed to raise about $10 million, so we asked Cuno for assistance.
The other important project that we need to do, and I can see that Cuno and Whalen are really willing to fund, is the further conservation of the tomb of Nefertari. The tomb was completely restored, or maybe it is not good to use the word "restoration," as Agnew said in his lecture in 1992 (restoration implies reconstruction, but conservation encourages maintenance).
However, since that time, nothing further has been done. We now need to install a ventilation system, lighting, and change the floors, among other tasks. The Getty will start soon on this project as well.
I think that the sort of wealth of archaeology on the West Bank of the Nile at Luxor cannot be seen in any other place in the world. It has the most beautiful tombs on earth. How can we preserve these treasures? We cannot deal with each site alone. I hope that the ministry of antiquities can go back to the 12 projects that I wanted to do, but never got a chance to because of what has happened to Egypt over recent years.
Our plan was to build a site conservation centre on the West Bank. The location would be next to Carter's rest house at the entrance of the Valley. This centre should set out rules for each site, such as on conservation, excavation, and the number of tourists to be allowed to visit. Visits to the temples can happen at any time, but the tombs should be visited three times a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and evening. We did install a lighting system for the West Bank so that visitors could visit in the evening. This centre should be responsible for the conservation and the planning of the entire West Bank.
I think that if we continue to restore the tombs, we should do so with a vision for the future. If we do not do that, and if this centre is not built, I think that these tombs could still be destroyed in fewer than 100 years. Photographers should photograph the scenes on the walls inside them and the inscriptions inside the tombs and temples on a yearly basis, so that we can study their evolution.
Finally, the authorities also need to give scientists the opportunity to make decisions regarding the planning and safety of the monuments. These essential tasks should not be left to officials who may have little knowledge of archaeology or monuments.


First - the MacGregors had a rather boring and routine appointment. Of course, boring can be good. Baby is measuring how he should and mommy is doing well. Nothing else to report. On Monday Baby is "full-term" but we should have a few more weeks to go.
On to the more exciting appointment!
The Reynolds had a special appointment today and it came with some special news! Not only are they expecting a little one...they are expecting two! That's right...twins!
Visit http://reynoldsintexas.blogspot.com/ for more information and cute ultrasound pictures!
Congratulations Shannon and Joe! We're so excited for you! Thanks for creating two playmates for our little one.

Q: To convert datalist in excel if it is under modalpopupextender I have one datalist in modalpopupextender which I am generating from gridview. However, I am not able to convert it to excel. Is it possible to generate excel from datalist if it is getting populated in modalpopupextender. I am writting my code in asp.net

A: Probably need more details. As a general rule, be it a bootstrap popup, jquery.UI, or the one from the ajaxtoolit?
Such dialogs cannot have nor survive a post-back. In most cases, this don't matter, since you hitting some button, and if it to cause some action, the dialog is then colipase due to the page post-back. So a post-back on the page as a general rule will cause the dialog to close. In fact, it quite much causes the whole page to re-load anyway, and again, in most cases that's what you need and want.
However, you CAN consider putting the dialog, the code (a div???) inside of a update panel, and that should be able to survive a post-back.
So, assuming right now, your popup is in a div?
Then do this:

        <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
            <ContentTemplate>

pop test

        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />

            </ContentTemplate>
        </asp:UpdatePanel>

So, the target control id = mydialog in above. Since INSIDE the div we pop has a update panel, then any button click etc. will not collapse the dialog. In fact, often the challenge is to figure out how to close the dialog after!!!
In above, I have a simple button - but the grid view could be in that above example, and buttons + code to generate the csv file for download can be in that div, and can have post backs.
So, right after the div part, surround the rest of the pop dialog inside of the update panel as per above - it should then allow button clicks, and post-backs, and not collapse the dialog. Of course, if your streaming (sending) the resulting csv file down to the client side, then the dialog probably should be closed first.


As a member-borrower of Farm Credit, one of the most important financial benefits is sharing in the profits of the association through our patronage program. Patronage reduces the cost of borrowing by returning a portion of our net income to our borrowers based on the proportion of interest paid on their loan and total interest earned by the association. Calculate your refund.
What is a patronage return?
A patronage return is a way of distributing the association's net income to its member-stockholders. A member's return is based on the portion of interest earned on his or her loan and the eligible interest earned by the association.
When you receive a loan with MidAtlantic Farm Credit, you purchase stock – $1,000 or 2% of your loan, whichever is less. That makes you a member-stockholder, which qualifies you to share in any patronage payments.
While we are committed to the cooperative principal of returning patronage, we cannot guarantee a payment. If a loan or other obligation is in default (or otherwise considered in non-accruing status), any part of the patronage distribution due to the member may be applied to that member's indebtedness to the Association.
What is the bottom line on patronage returns?
The use of patronage returns makes a significant reduction in your effective interest cost and saves you money. Since MidAtlantic Farm Credit distributes returns based on the amount of interest earned on each member's loan, the more business you do with us, the larger your potential patronage return. Remember, you are an owner of the association, and you share in the profits.
How do patronage returns benefit Farm Credit borrowers?
Patronage returns benefits to member-borrowers by reducing their cost of borrowing.
As an example, if you paid $10,000 in interest and we declare a 20% patronage distribution, $2,000 will be distributed to you. This lowers your effective interest rate and gives you cash back.
If you'd like to see an example, call 888.339.3334. We have a patronage calculator app that will allow you to plug in the information on the loan you are looking at based on last years' results.
How do patronage returns benefit your Farm Credit association?
Reduce tax expenses – The cooperative's profits are only taxable when distributed among member-borrowers as a patronage return. MidAtlantic Farm Credit has an allowable tax deduction based on the total amount of its net income. Profit is then distributed in a qualified form called a patronage return.
Maintain a strong capital position – effectively managing the association's taxes helps to manage the association's capital position. This ensures the association can offer competitive rates, with a dependable supply of credit.
How do my patronage checks get refunded to me?
Your patronage return may be issued to you by check or recorded on the association's books in a special account. Each time a patronage distribution is issued, Farm Credit will notify eligible members of their patronage returns. The notification will include a breakdown of the amount paid in cash and the amount paid in allocated surplus.
When will I get my first refund?
Based upon Farm Credit's operating results, you may be eligible to receive your first payment the year after you take out a loan.
What's the difference between cash and allocated surplus?
Cash is the (taxable) amount of patronage to be returned each year declared by the board of directors while the allocated surplus is each member's retained portion of patronage, used to keep the association financially sound.
Cash – the amount of patronage refund that is returned the year it is declared by the board of directors. This amount is taxable the year you receive it.
Allocated Surplus – the retained portion of each member's patronage refund used to keep the association's operation financially sound. It is recorded on the books, or allocated to each member's equity account. There are two types: Qualified and Non-qualified.
Qualified Allocated Surplus – the portion that is returned to you when approved by the board of directors. The goal is to revolve these payments in the shortest amount of time. Historically, this has been returned within a five-year period. This, of course, is subject to the current economy and the long-term stability of your cooperative. After all, being here in the long-haul is what's most important and Qualified Surplus helps us do that. This amount is taxable to you in the year declared.
Non-Qualified Allocated Surplus – the portion that is returned to you when approved by the board of directors. The goal is to revolve these payments in the shortest amount of time possible. This amount is taxable the year it is returned to you.
Non-Qualified Retained Allocated Surplus – the portion that is permanently retained by the association to keep it operating financially sound. This amount is not meant to be returned to members.
What is patronage? Here it is in just 90 seconds.


Charleston farm house in East Sussex was the country home and meeting place for the Bloomsbury group, a famous collective of artists, writers and thinkers. It has always held a fascination for me, not just due to it's artistic fame but because of it's internal decoration. Whenever a new inhabitant lived there they decorated not just the walls but the fireplaces, furniture and almost every surface to evoke their individual style. The house was lived in by Vanessa Bell, her children Quentin and Julian, Duncan Grant and David Garnet. Charleston now offers guided tours which I highly recommend if you're in the area.
Unfortunately internal photography is not allowed at Charleston but I can at least show you a few pictures from the garden. The house started life as part of a farm where Duncan and David had both lived as conscientious objectors during the First World War, working as farm labourers. I asked the gardener if I could take his photo, he agreed but asked me to wander around first before taking my snap, by which point he would have forgotten our conversation 🙂 With such a gorgeous garden it's easy to see why this setting inspired so many creative minds. Vanessa Bell had her own fantastic studio room opening straight out into the heart of it and a lot of her paintings depict her flowers in jars or vases.
The house offered a hospitable retreat to many Bloomsbury residents, who were known to lead unconventional and freethinking lifestyles. Some of the most frequent visitors were Clive Bell (Vanessa's husband with whom she had an open marriage), Virginia and Leonard Woolf, John Maynard and Lydia Keynes and Roger Fry. At times Charleston was completely inundated by self-invited visitors in need of entertainment, on these occasions Vanessa would put a notice at the end of the drive which read "Charleston Out".
Some of the decoration inside the house can seem almost slap dash but it was not intended for the world to see. However, Vanessa, Duncan and her son Quentin did paint the walls in a local church and here you can see paintings intended for public viewing.
The church still encourages art and decoration to this very day. There was a large board painted by school children and ceramic birds and flowers made by local college students.


London is very easy to get around - between the bus network and the Tube/Underground you can pretty much get anywhere. As long as your accommodation is in walking distance to a tube station or bus stop you can get from A to B easily in no time.
One thing that I would definitely recommend when you first arrive into London is to take a Hop on Hop off bus tour, as this is a great way to orientate yourself as well as familiarise yourself with landmarks around the City – you also get an on-board commentary. We brought a pass on "Big Bus Tours" for GBP29.00 per person and this lasts for 48 hours (and also included a free 1 ½ or 3 hour river cruise on the River Thames and a couple of free walking tour options). We only had about 12 hours to use ours so didn't get the full use out of it but it proved to be a great way to get around the city to the main sights etc. There are a few routes you can take and this one included 3 which got you to/near pretty much all the sights and attractions in the city. The buses run very frequently with last tour departures on each route at 4.30pm daily.
It is quite cool in London in late October/early November, so be prepared with lots of warm clothes. It rained a bit and the wind was very icy… we ended up getting off the Hop on Hop off bus to buy scarves and mittens to carry-on with. I think we were prepared for it to be cold but our cold is a different cold to the UK.
We had an 'oyster card' for travel on the tube/underground and bus network and this is a pre-loaded card that you swipe everytime you get on and off one of these services and it calculates the cheapest way to travel between the stations and charges you the subsequent fare. We had GBP15.00 loaded on this when we arrived and loaded another GBP15.00 over 4 days in total, and we travelled around quite a bit in this time (including from the city to London Heathrow Airport twice). So definitely a must purchase for any trip to London before leaving home - you can just re-load them as you go and it is a very easy process to do so, and of course a tube map becomes your best friend (don't worry it's really not as scary as it looks). The tube is an unbelievably effective option with trains running approx every 3 minutes, so if you miss one, you never have to wait long for the next one.
It cost about GBP5.00 to get from the middle of the city to London Heathrow Airport on the underground and the journey takes between 1 hour and 1 hour 15 minutes, so not too bad in terms of price. The other option we did use was the Heathrow Express from Airport to Paddington Station and this was GBP19 pp and took only 15 minutes, so a much quicker option but also more expensive and because it only stops at Paddington Station you may need to get on the tube or take a taxi from there, so depends on where you are staying.
To give you an idea of the cost of meals etc a Typical British dinner of Beef and Ale pie accompanied by a Strongbow Cider at the Pride of Paddington pub was GBP14.00 (approx NZD$28.00) – this was a large filling very tasty meal although not a pie as we know it as the beef and pastry were separate. The second night we had dinner in the Hotel and had Chicken Tikka and Magners Cider for GBP16.10 (approx NZD$32.00) – not a large meal but also not bad considering Hotel prices. Dinner in Hilton Metropole sports bar – caeser chicken salad and Magners cider GBP18.00 (approx NZD$36.00).
London is a great place for a few days at the start and the end of your trip.

Why HANA Modelling is required ?
Hello Experts, I'm a beginner trying to learn HANA. I understand that with HANA BW and ECC becomes one system. Also i learn that HANA can process 3.6Billion records in 1 second.
Ok. I got this. HANA is very fast in processing our queries. However, I fail to understand the real need for HANA Modelling.
As far as i know, via modelling we join the transaction data with master data and create some information models(Views). The same can be achieved by few join queries in ABAP at the starting of report. Hana is fast. So i can do it quickly. Can anyone please let me know why we really need Modelling as a separate concept ?
If we compare ABAP and HANA modeling. ABAP is more like business processing or Application server level language.
When HANA/Modeling is like DB server level language so processing wise there is huge difference.
Here push down approach is followed where data is filtered at DB server only and Only required data is passed to business processing.
So for better perforamce this is good.

The Year Is 2050 And This Is What Your Favorite Car Might Look Like
Time flies so why don't we take a peek at the future now?
We can clearly remember the '90s. It's the era of grunge music, some seriously good movies, baggy clothes, and Michael Jordan. While we can go on about debating which era was the best, we can also argue that the '90s has one of the best car designs that stood out in the industry.
At that time, however, most of us didn't have any idea what the future has in store for automotive design 30 years down the line. And here we are at the crossroads – cars are bigger and arguably more aggressively styled than before. If you were to show us back then the current Honda Civic design, we would have scoffed at the idea and dismiss it as a joke. And yet, here we are.
Time flies, as they say, so why don't we take this chance to take a peek at the future now? Thankfully, Budget Direct has some interesting concepts of what current popular cars could look like in 2050.
Despite the popularity of SUVs and crossover, the Civic lived on for 10 generations. We're now transitioning to its 11th-generation with the new Civic prototype, but 30 years down the road, this is how Budget Direct envisions the sedan's future. It's, of course, an all-electric model, with a fusion of the current Acura NSX and the defunct CRZ.
Just like the Honda, the Toyota Corolla is also an enduring nameplate. Budget Direct envisions its future as an improvement of the Concept-i from 2017 but with four scissor doors and a whole deviant styling.
The current mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette C8 was probably the biggest update that the nameplate got in its lifetime, so a supercar-like concept wouldn't be a long shot in 2050 – just in time for the Vette's centenary.
As with the Corvette, the Ford Mustang is also in transition to the future with the introduction of the Mustang Mach-E. This concept harkens back to the electric crossover but sits lower and given a fastback profile. Looks cool, if you ask us.
The immediate future of the Jaguar XJ is fully electric, but it doesn't mean that its design will be boring. In 2050, a sleek electric sedan with rear suicide doors could be on the cards – at least in Budget Direct's eyes.
The next-generation Mercedes-Benz SL is definitely coming, and we've already spied prototypes doing some on-road testing. After 30 years, could this low-slung Merc with a gaping grille be its selling point? We'll have to wait and see.

This is my first post at the Dream Host discussion forum. I was referred here by the Dream Host support team.
I just redesigned my Wordpress run site with an 8 loop front page that also includes a "most popular" section. My site is image heavy with many of the images resized.
The result of the changes is a site that slows down and crashes frequently. Especially when I am adding new posts.
I want to fix the problem but I am not sure how as I have limited knowledge about server optimization. I run the lowest level DH Dedicated Server.
I would appreciate any direction that you can offer.
Yikes… 8-loops in wp_query (I'm assuming…) and a most popular section, AND image heavy? Yeah, I can see that getting slow.
What kind of caching are you already using on the Dedi? You may need to install some PHP accelerators (like ZendOptimizerPlus and Memcached) to get more speed from the server.
@Fattah Thanks for the idea, I tried it and got a "backend error". I tested it on pingdom and have gotten mixed results from relatively fast 2 second load times to extremely slow 15 second load times.
@Ipstenu-DH Yeah, I have the triple threat for how to grind your site to a halt. Thanks for the PHP accelerator ideas, I had never heard of either option. I will look into both. Xcache is currently active on the server. Would that be an issue?
No, Xcache is okay, but it doesn't play great with things like W3TC (which is what I recommend for a VPS or Dedi by way of WP caching). I recommend Memcached since I personally have seen better benchmarks on it with my server, when combined with PHP 5.4 and Pagespeed. ZendOptimizerPlus is going to replace APC in PHP 5.5 and it works pretty well. I've had some odd hiccups with some non-WP apps.
You may also do well to move the images to a CDN, since that would offload some of the bigger things.
Is the installation process for Memcached straightforward?
Eeeeh, straightforward if you're used to installing packages on servers yes. If you're not, like I wasn't, it's a bit nervewracking.
