A strong personal brand opens new professional opportunities, helps you profile yourself in terms of your skills and makes you stand out in the competitive landscape when searching for a new job or potential new customers. The digital presence of your personal brand is becoming more and more important: whether it is LinkedIn or your website, the content already tells your story. However, continuing the story in face-to-face meetings is equally important and both of these aspects are a great impact throughout your career.
On Wednesday 18th of April, FDCC will organize a special event focusing on Personal Branding and Business Image. At the event you will have the opportunity to listen to the inspiring speaker, international brand advisor Michiel Maandag (Monday Brand Advisory) on how to brand yourself, and to hear practical advice from image consultant Jenni Ryynänen (I on Image) on how to support your personal brand with a unique style that is remembered for the right reasons. Lastly, what could be a better way to brand yourself and get noticed than with a flattering and professional picture on your CV and LinkedIn profile? Our professional photographer Jenna Rutanen will be taking care of that.
Please note: Due to the scheduling, pre-registration for the photo shoot is required. We advise you to come early enough to avoid possible queues and we can start the program on time. The photo is available for an extra cost and should be paid together with the registration fee.
Please register by 13.4.2018. Limited spots available!

2016 Fantasy Baseball: Chris Young Signs with the Boston Red Sox
Mick Grilli 2015-12-01
Mick Grilli · December 1, 2015
BOSTON, MA - AUGUST 31: Chris Young #24 of the New York Yankees prepares to bat against the Boston Red Sox in the first inning at Fenway Park on August 31, 2015 in Boston, Massachusetts. The Red Sox won the game 4-3. (Photo by Darren McCollester/Getty Images)
The upper management of the Boston Red Sox has gotten the reputation for being one of the most active and forward thinking front offices in all of baseball the past few years. The organization went from worst to first in 2013, and captured their third World Series title in 10 years by building their ballclub around an abundance of above league-average hitters rather than going out and spending a brunt of their money on a superstar.
While their experiment of trying to piece together a starting rotation with the absence of a true ace may have failed — deciding to have five #3 starters for 2015 instead — the Sox figure to be back in the playoff hunt this coming year. As I stated in my Cooperstown Justice article a couple weeks back, Boston figures to make one last run at a title with David Ortiz, and the club will hope to get other contributions from a healthy Dustin Pedroia, Hanley Ramirez, and Pablo Sandoval.
The Red Sox are also well positioned in their young talent with switch hitter Blake Swihart behind the plate, AL Silver Slugger Xander Bogaerts at shortstop, and a dynamic outfield consisting of youngsters Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr., and Rusney Castillo. The offense finished the year roughly in the middle of the pack in 2015 (17th overall according to Fangraphs and 4th in runs scored) and figures to improve based on health and an additional year of experience for the team's youth. Starting pitching remains the big question mark in Boston, and while the Sox figure to be one of the top suitors for free agent pitcher David Price, their most recent move this offseason was one that addressed flexibility more so than overall improvement.
They've already traded for Craig Kimbrel, who has collected more saves since debuting in 2010 than any other pitcher in the game at 224, but today, the Red Sox went out and signed an additional outfielder, Chris Young to a multi-year deal. While it may not seem like the kind of big-name splash we've come to expect from Boston, the move provides the club with a bevy of options going forward this offseason and into the 2016 regular season.
Mookie Betts had a phenomenal age-22 season with 174 hits, 92 runs, and 21 steals, but the Sox are still unsure exactly what they have in Castillo and Bradley in the outfield. Bradley is the team's best defensive option in center, but after hitting .354 once earning a starting spot in August, Bradley fell off considerably hitting just .216 the rest of the way out. He figures to slide into more of a platoon role this coming season, which is what makes the Young deal so important.
Young showed flashes of his Diamondback days with the Yankees last season and had an OPS well above league average at .779. He slashed .327/.397/.575 with seven homers against lefties, showing he can handle a platoon role, and he can also play some centerfield in a pinch as he did in New York. In addition to lineup flexibility, the move also gives the Red Sox the option to move one of those three aforementioned young outfielders if it could help tighten up that starting rotation. Any one of the three would bring back a good arm in return, and although the club is expected to hang on to Betts in particular, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Betts gets moved if the Sox are blown away with a trade offer. The Red Sox also have super-utility man Brock Holt who was an all-star in 2015 and would be more than a serviceable fourth outfielder if they need to make another deal.
In terms of fantasy, Chris Young could be a bit of a sleeper pick-up for a bench spot or for a thin outfield. Young's overall OPS+ was 122 in New York which shows his pop was not regulated to the confines of the hitter friendly Yankee Stadium. Park-effects will only help his overall production with the move to Boston, as he's shown he's a dead-pull hitter with the ideal swing for peppering balls off the Green Monster at Fenway. If you can snag Chris Young off the waiver wire, or with a very late round pick, he could provide quite a bit of value if used the right way.

Animals are unpredictable — even a well-trained dog can lash out unexpectedly when it's hurt or feels threatened, or has been abused, or for many other reasons. There's no easy way for a passerby to know if an animal poses a threat, and often pet owners themselves don't realize that their dog poses a safety risk to those around it.
One of the most common types of injury we see in South Dakota and Iowa is violent attacks by dogs or other pets on innocent victims. These incidents result in injuries ranging from minor skin punctures and rabies transmission to long-term injuries and permanent disfigurement. If you've been attacked by a dog or another animal, we'll work with you to make sure that the animal and its owner are held accountable for your injury.
In South Dakota, a dog bite victim has three years to file a claim, but it's in the victim's interest to file a claim as soon as possible. Your case will be stronger if you can demonstrate that the animal in question has a history of aggression that the owner should have reasonably been aware of. But even if your injury is the result of an animal's first violent act, the owner is still subject to the state's negligence laws.
Dog bite injury attorney David J. King can help you navigate these laws and file the appropriate claim.
The best way to plan your legal strategy is to sit down with an experienced personal injury lawyer. Contact King Law Firm, P.C., in Sioux Falls to schedule a free consultation today.


A leader by example, Harpreet Dhillon inspired students to create positive social change in both their local communities and around the world.
Earning her Bachelor of Education from University of British Columbia in 2000, Dhillon taught sixth grade at Cindrich Elementary School in Surrey, BC. While coaching volleyball, basketball or track and field, she also undertook several initiatives to enrich her students' lives, and to show them the joy of enriching the lives of others.
In 2009, Dhillon started Cindrich Elementary's WE team, part of the comprehensive service learning program We Act. The program empowers students to participate in local and global issues. Each year, Dhillon and twenty students in the sixth and seventh grades adopt a village in a developing country. They have raised thousands of dollars to improve the lives of those in their adopted communities, through education, health, sanitation, and alternative income projects.
Dhillon was also a driving figure behind Cindrich's Kindness Project. She designed "kindness cards" and, along with her students, began surprising staff and community members with random acts of kindness. In total, over 500 kindness cards spread throughout the school, the community, and internationally. The cards were individually numbered, and the journey of each card continues to be tracked on Dhillon's blog.
Additionally, Dhillon organizes the annual "Kids Change" program at Cindrich through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Students work year-round earning money to help grant a special wish for a sick child. Despite being classified as an inner city school, Cindrich students raise thousands of dollars for the foundation each year.
In recognition of her efforts, Dhillon was awarded the UBC Alumni Teacher Award in 2013. Dhillon was also recognized by the Surrey Food Bank for leading Cindrich Elementary to Top Fundraising School in 2012, and in the same year, the Surrey-North Delta Leader awarded her the Community Leader Award of Top Honour Teacher. Dhillon currently serves as a member of the UBC Faculty of Education's External Advisory Board to the Dean.
Dhillon now works at Goldstone Park Elementary where she is part of the team creating the school culture for the brand new school. She has implemented a WE team and has found opportunities for her students to connect with local organizations such as the Surrey Food Bank and Oak Avenue Neighbourhood Hub. She continues fundraising for her Team goal to build a school in Ecuador.


Our LAXseries has long been a classic collection of California Modern design. We limit hinges, hardware, bells and whistles to allow for the focus to be on quality materials and finishes. Hard metal and solid wood married with natural finishes have always defined this collection. But lately we've been asking ourselves "do we want more?" and how do we evolve such a classic collection. We've asked ourselves "how much is enough or is there not enough?". We've begun to research and explore what we want the next chapter to look like and what story we want to tell.
Stay tuned in 2019 to see what we come up with.

The BEST Episodes of El Presidente
Network: Amazon
Sergio Jadue, a lowly director of a small-town soccer club in Chile, unexpectedly finds himself at the head of the Chilean soccer association. Drunk with power, he becomes the protégée of soccer godfather Julio Grondona, as well as the FBI's key to undoing the largest corruption scheme in the world of soccer, and to putting the presidents of all of South America's soccer federations behind bars.
#1 - Everything passes
Season 1 - Episode 8 - Aired Jun 5, 2020
As Julio Grondona used to say, "Everything passes." Marital difficulties triggered by lies pass. Financial problems pass. National embarrassments pass. The great triumphs that, for an instant, elevate completely unknown countries to the highest of heavens - those too, pass. Money passes. Justice passes. But what happened to Sergio Jadue? Everything.
Watch on Amazon
#2 - Las pelotas
Luck is for losers. A true winner doesn't hope for results: he makes them. With this in mind, Sergio Jadue prepares to televise the Copa America group draw to the entire world, as a sort of kickoff event for the tournament that will be held in his county. But there's no reason to be so serious: first comes a CONMEBOL family tremendous celebration, with the FBI infiltrated at the party itself.
#3 - Not your topo
A family governed by traditions and complicity controls South American soccer: the CONMEBOL. But one day, they allow the wrong man to join their ranks: Sergio Jadue, the president of a small soccer club, in a country that has never won anything. Inebriated by power, he becomes a protégée of soccer godfather Julio Grondona, and the FBI's key to dismantling the web of corruption known as FIFA GATE.
#4 - Padre Nuestro
Jadue resorts to the celestial plane to ask for divine intervention before the moral crossroads he finds himself at: Will God have space amongst his flock to accommodate the sinful CONMEBOL family, or will he unleash his heavy punishment onto them? Jadue hopes that his sacrifice as a Lamb of God can cleanse his sins, although he fears that at the end of the road, he might end up crucified anyway.
#5 - Mentira
As the joy brought on by the Copa America tournament spreads throughout Chile, a dark shadow falls over the Jadue Facuse family and the CONMEBOL. Sergio Jadue must now play his final card in order to come out of this free fall with as little harm as possible. People say there's always a light at the end of the tunnel, but what no one told this man is that some tunnels are blind alleys.
#6 - Fifageit
Judgment day has arrived for Jadue, but Agent Harris arrives just in time to rescue the president from the vultures circling around the entire CONMEBOL family's deathbed. Working against time, Jadue has to find the best lawyers that money can buy - but not even they can save him from what Nene is about to discover.
#7 - Rosarito
In soccer, dodges or feints are admired and applauded, but there is one problem: if you can't pull it off, you're risking major ridicule. Sergio Jadue is about to pull off the feint of his lifetime, but something goes wrong. Cornered by an FBI agent, he is left with two options: he can collaborate with the investigation, or go to jail. He can either be with the gringos or against himself.
#8 - En el palo
Money is exciting. Grab it, make a stash: a new car, caviar, and why not, buy a soccer team. Pink Floyd said it, not Jadue. With bank account figures he's never seen before, the La Calera native splurges on himself, followed closely by a reporter. Meanwhile, the FBI is pressing him to deliver some concrete evidence: the time has come to be a rat, or perhaps a monkey, the smartest animal of all.

Muscogee (Creek) Nation welcomes SEAC
by: Amanda Rutland/MCNPR
TULSA, Okla. — Muscogee (Creek) Nation Principal Chief James Floyd opened The 74th Annual Southeastern Archeological Conference Nov. 8 with a welcome at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Tulsa.
This is the first time SEAC has been held in Oklahoma. The four-day conference with over 600 people in attendance. SEAC is targeted to those working in Southeastern archeology related fields, whether academically, working for federal agencies or culture resources.
"What's unique about the conference coming to Oklahoma is this is the first time tribes will have a large presence and participation in the conference," Muscogee (Creek) Nation Historic and Cultural Preservation Manager RaeLynn Butler said.
The tribal presence included the opening ceremony. MCN Historic and Cultural Preservation Traditional Cultural Specialist David Proctor worked with University of Tulsa Professor Dr. Thomas Foster to invite all the tribes that wanted to participate in a living cultural demonstration.
"The opening ceremony was organized to help give an invitation to everyone coming to Tulsa. The Creek Nation founded the city of Tulsa and so we felt that it would be good to show the attendees kind of like a good welcome and a cultural night," Butler said.
Chief Floyd explained to the attendees that when MCN reestablished in Indian Territory town locations and names were retained.
"When we left the east and came here, we renamed every town pretty much after our old towns and aligned them the way you seen in Alabama, Georgia and Florida," Floyd said. "We do carry out the traditions that many of you study. "
A field trip in planned for Saturday to the Tvlahasse Wvkokaye Ceremonial Ground.
"I know some of you, Saturday, are going out to Tallahassee Wvkokaye. You will see that we carried on those ceremonies, those traditions and culture that we did hundreds of years ago. We still make sure we retain those things that were our life," Floyd said.
MCN Historic and Cultural Preservation helped organized a tribal historic preservation symposium to be held on Friday.
Butler hopes it will bring both archeologists and tribes together to listen and learn from each other.
Various tribes will be "showcasing tribal archeology, tribal preferences and perspectives on archeology and what's respectful. We are also talking about repatriation and how that is important to tribes also," Butler said.

Q: Oracle dB - system table containing details of GUI to dB link I'm wondering if by default oracle dBs contain a system table which contains details which field on a GUI and how this maps to a dB?
Thanks

A: The database 'sees' a bunch of sessions and statements, possibly with metadata saying what machine / program they relate to. Unless the GUI identifies itself in that metadata, the database doesn't know (and doesn't care) any more than that.
One exception is Oracle Apex where the web application actually runs from within the database. In that environment, there is an APEX view that relates database table/columns to items on the page in an application.
SELECT * FROM APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_DB_ITEMS
WHERE db_table_name = '....'

The first step when it comes to any endeavor is to ask, "What is my goal here?" It's important in all areas of your life and just as important when creating an online dating profile. Most people blunder and fumble around emotionally, vaguely reminded that they are trying to attract a partner. But almost immediately, they lose sight of the goal and begin treating it like all kinds of other things – a place to vent their frustrations about past relationships, a place to virtue signal about their politics or social justice proclivities, or a place to aggressively berate the other people on the platform (or the platform itself).
Aside from avoiding those kinds of pitfalls, there's the flip side of that coin – what if you're not doing nearly enough to achieve your goal? As I mentioned in my intro blog post, I'm going to assume that the average person is trying to attract their ideal life partner, i.e. someone to marry and have children with. We will get to the former disasters later but to get us started, I'll focus on the latter issue of not doing enough.
World traveler – This explains nothing. Where in the world? Why those places? What do you get out of traveling? Is this your reality or an aspiration you'd like to achieve with a partner?
Lover of life – Commendable but vague. Which aspects of life? Why is your life lovable?
Lover of wine – Loving a particular kind of alcohol is not a personality trait. Unless you own a brewery or vineyard, you can take it as a given that everyone enjoys drinking on occasion. And if you are extremely into wine, talk more about it. This is akin to saying, "Lover of food". Yeah, we all love food. We also love oxygen.
Lover of laughing – People laugh as a natural reflex from the moment they are born. It releases endorphins that make us feel good. The only way you aren't a "lover of laughing" is if you are severely mentally ill.
Lover of dogs – I guess that's slightly better because "dog lovers" are a more specific subset of people. Still pretty vague, however. Do you own a dog? Are you hoping a guy comes along with his own dog?
Lover of working out – Probably the best thing she "loves", because at least it describes a lifestyle. You'll notice that no where in here does she describe what she's looking for, however. So while she may love working out, would she strongly desire a man to work out with her? Does she even care if the man is fit? We can assume probably, but we have no concrete way of knowing.
In DC for the week…let's go out and have fun! – What does "fun" mean?! Does she want to hook up? Does she want to drink a ton of wine? Does she want to walk through a dog park? We have no way of knowing. There is no denying she is quite pretty (take my word for it), but if I had to guess, she's been relying on her looks in place of a personality for most of her life. When she has the chance to describe herself and what she's looking for, the words and sentences she uses may as well not exist. They are useless to the point of annoyance. She may as well have just said "I'm hot, you don't really care what I talk about because look at me." And that will absolutely work for her for a little while longer, especially if all she's interested in is "fun". But this is far from a profile that's going to attract to the attention of a worthwhile man.

I have been on this journey for about five months now, at the beginning I've got to admit whilst the science made sense I was skeptical. I kept thinking well if it's that easy why isn't everyone else doing it. I had already come to the conclusion that these low calorie diets were doing more harm than good, had already experienced that first hand. I didn't want another holiday to go by where I would be vetting the photos before showing anyone to take out the horrible, fat ones. I figured 'why not' there's months til my holiday I'll give it a go.
I'm not going to say that the journey has been easy, I have had to deal with some pretty big mental issues. It's extremely hard to get your head around the fact that you really can eat more (in my case a lot more and still lose weight) and also learn to deal and how to cope when the scale doesn't do what it's supposed to. But I persevered believing that the hardship and the stress would be worth it in the end. So I continued to eat more, continued to lift heavy weights, and now also added in running. It no longer was a hardship, somehow along the way it became 'normal' and I stopped fretting about the scale and stopped fretting about going slightly over my allowance.
I log my intake on a regular basis, and do keep an eye on my weight, but I really feel as though for the first time in a long time, my weight has taken a back seat. I feel as though I am just living my life, without worrying about what I'm eating all the time. I can't pretend I'm there yet, I still have several inches of fat that I have to lose before I can say I have finished cutting. But I wouldn't have gotten to this point if someone hadn't sent me the link to the group one day – this is why I feel that the Eat More to Weigh Less lifestyle (because it shouldn't be viewed as a quick fix diet!) should be shouted from the rooftops!!!
I am obviously delighted that I have lost weight and inches, but I really feel that my favourite benefit is feeling as though I have control over my eating. I don't binge, then feel guilty and wanting to starve myself. I don't feel as though there are things that are out of reach or feel as though I have to restrict my eating of certain things.
It sounds crazy, but I am seriously happily living my life, I don't think I even really think about food like I did before, where I was constantly thinking about what I was going to eat next, is everyone going to think I'm a pig if I have another chocolate or biscuit. Now I literally eat what I want and move on, and it's AWESOME!!!!!!!
So, I feel like I'm here to stay the course, I have totally turned my life around, and am eating loads and exercising loads (and really enjoying it). I have found that I have started to inspire more people around me, now they can see my results, so hopefully they will also abandon these crazy 1,000 calories diets in favour of listening to what their body wants. Everyone should know that there is no need to starve themselves, there is another healthier way of doing this.

Two HB Grandi pursers search for capelin
Faxi RE and Ingunn AK sailed from Vopnafjördur last night to search for capelin off the north coast. According to Hjalti Einarsson, Faxi's skipper for this trip, there had been no luck today and the search will continue for the following days, weather permitting.
The capelin fishery fizzled out at the end of last week, since when most of the fleet has been tied up. Research vessel Árni Fridriksson searched for capelin last week alongside several pelagic vessels, without success.
Hjalti Einarsson said that Faxi and Ingunn have been searching systematically from the Vopnafjördur shallows and west along the banks.
'We are now on the eastern side of the Kolbeinsey bank and all we have seen on the sounders so far is some loose dust. It's not easy to tell if this is capelin or feed, but at any rate, there's not much of it,' he said, and added that they are now in an area where there has normally been capelin from December and into January in past years.
'Under normal circumstances the capelin would have migrated eastwards along the banks and be heading southwards along the east coast. From there the fish tend to disperse and show up again in the region of the Lons Bight shallows,' he said. Faxi's and Ingunn's skippers are in frequent contact with trawler skippers from the Westfjords to fishing grounds off the south and east coasts.
According to Gardar Svavarsson, head of HB Grandi's pelagic division, it is crucial to locate the capelin as early as possible so that a new assessment of the stock can be carried out at the earliest opportunity, in the hope that the initial quota can be increased.
'It's clear to everyone that there is a great deal at stake here. Decisions on further searches will be taken when we have results from the work that Faxi and Ingunn are doing now,' Gardar Svavarsson said.

Transport fares unlikely to go down
in Business February 6, 2012
Transport fares are unlikely to go down despite a 20 per cent reduction in fuel prices, Mr Mathew Hayford, Chairman of the Road Coordination Council, has said.
"We are yet to meet over the matter, but it is unlikely we will see any downward review of transport fares," he told the Ghana News Agency on Monday in Accra.
Mr Hayford explained that much more went into the fixing of transport fares and not fuel cost alone.
He said since the increment in fuel prices, the prices of spare parts had also increased, which could not be reduced.
Meanwhile Mr Steven Larbi, Public Relations Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), has said management was yet to meet Government on the implementation of the 20 per cent reduction in petroleum prices.
He told the Ghana News Agency in Accra that management was working around the clock and would meet various stakeholders to calculate the percentage to reflect the amount.
He said government was ready to pay subsidy on the imported petroleum products already in the market.
The recent reduction came about when the President directed the Vice-President to engage the Trades Union Congress (TUC) on the possibility of implementing the reduction, taking into cognisance the need for a commensurate reduction in transport fares in order to be of benefit to the ordinary citizen.
A communique issued in Accra at the weekend, jointly signed by Mr Enoch Teye Mensah, out-going Minister of Employment and Social Welfare and Mr Kofi Asamoah, Secretary-General of the TUC, said "it was agreed to proceed with implementation of the President's concession of a 20 per cent reduction in the recent increase of petroleum prices".
The communique said in pursuance of that the Vice President held a meeting with the transport union operators on the need to reduce transport fares in the face of a reduction in the petroleum prices.
"The TUC agreed to engage the transport unions to achieve some reduction in transport fares in order to benefit the ordinary citizen," the communique added. GNA

Q: How to set the proper lifetime of `self` when calling tokio::spawn? I am working on a type implementing Stream trait. It basically takes two other streams, get the next() values from them, and then return a next() value itself based on some conditions. I get to a point of having the code setup like this:
impl Stream for HeartbeatStream {
  type Item = char;

  fn poll_next(mut self: Pin<&mut Self>, cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Option<Self::Item>> {
    // ...
    // Dealing with heartbeat and no heartbeat
    match &mut self.next_heartbeat {
      Some(hb) => {
        Pin::new(hb).poll(cx);
        tokio::spawn(async move {
          tokio::select! {
            Some(char) = stream1.next(), if self.cooldown.map_or(true, |cd| since_last_signal > cd) => {
              self.reset_last_signal_next_heartbeat();
              return Poll::Ready(Some(char))
            },
            Some(char) = stream2.next(), if self.cooldown.map_or(true, |cd| since_last_signal > cd) => {
              self.reset_last_signal_next_heartbeat();
              return Poll::Ready(Some(char))
            },
            _ = hb => {
              self.reset_last_signal_next_heartbeat();
              return Poll::Ready(Some(self.char))
            },
            else => Poll::Ready(None),
          }
        });
      },
      None => {
        ...
      }
    }

    Poll::Pending
  }
}

Full error code is shown here.
I see from tokio doc that usually this can be solved by async move and move the variable outside of tokio::spawn() to be owned inside the async code. But in this case, it is complaining about the self object.
What can I do to solve it?
Thank you for shedding any light

A: The Rust compiler does not know whether tokio::spawn() will join before self is dropped. Even if tokio::spawn() returns a JoinHandle that can be passed to a std::mem::forget() and never be joined making the closure have access to a dropped reference of self (which is unsafe). That is why the compiler enforces a 'static lifetime. In general "Rust's safety guarantees do not include a guarantee that destructors will always run" (source). I would suggest you to call directly poll_next() instead of next().


Compared to Coldplay's last two flamboyant albums Viva La Vida and Mylo Xyloto, Ghost Stories feels as melancholically light and airy as Parachutes. Right from the dreamy soundscapes of opener Always in My Head, Ghost Stories is the quietest and most strikingly human album Coldplay has ever recorded. Magic is a clear illustration of the album's clever interplay. It's centered by simple hip-hop beats but before long, the thrill of expansive guitar echoes and Martin's astonishing vocal range comes to the fore. From the subdued Ghost Story to the all-nighter Avicii-produced A Sky Full of Stars, the collection has its extreme variations, but each song is tied together by frontman Chris Martin. On Ink, Martin sings of feeling "like there's something broken inside," while "All I know is that I love you so/ So much that it hurts" echoes a similar sentiment from Mylo Xyloto's Hurts Like Heaven. On the beautiful song, Midnight with his voice multi-tracked and echo-laden, he sounds uncannily like Bon Iver whose best songs were also fuelled by the pain of break-up. Album Closer O is embraced by pretty piano trickles and Martin's falsetto that soars as high as the birds depicted in the lyrics. True Love is a genuine anthem, the bluesy guitar solo providing one of the album's finest moments, and the brilliant Oceans sprinkles just enough influence into the mix to ensure the new era of Coldplay has well and truly been ushered in.
Everyday Robots is Damon Albarn's most personal and revealing work, in which he scans back through memories of his childhood and adolescence to offer a musical self-portrait. The opening title track establishes the album's focused template, Albarn crooning about the alienation of modern society ("We are everyday robots on our phones / in the process of going own / looking like standing stones / out there on our own"). The Selfish Giant, featuring Natasha Khan's honeyed pipes is home to romantic-era piano motifs and abstract beats. Mr Tembo is a sweet Calypso tune about a baby elephant that Albarn met while visiting Tanzania, and wrote it for his daughter. The tune is so jaunty and endearing it instantly steals your heart. Heavy Seas of Love featuring Brian Eno and Leytonstone Mission Choir is perhaps the grandest cut on the record, with rickety percussion and illustrious piano embellishments. Highlight Hostiles, meanwhile, is largely an acoustic guitar and Albarn's spine-tingling plaintive vocal, augmented by occasional choral backing vocals. A truly charismatic vocal on the beautifully arranged History of a Cheating Heart adds genuine emotional clout to a tear-jerking moment of stunning acoustic reflection. Everyday Robots is an album very carefully orchestrated. With live congress of organic and synthetic textures, the instrumentation seems at once to be carefully situated in its utter formlessness.
The R&B-pop-dance-soul singer Kelis Rogers, who had a breakthrough with the 2003 adventurous hit Milkshake, returns with an album that is a moveable feast of old-school blues, ballsy soul, breathy doo-wop, folk ballad, muted brass and low-key electronics. As the misleading title suggests, Food isn't a gastronomic concept record. And despite some seemingly absurd names, these songs don't aim to be amusing. When Kelis kicks off the album with Jerk Ribs, her subject isn't Caribbean cuisine, she is recalling the wisdom handed down by her jazz-musician father ("He said to look for melody in everything"), while Biscuits with Gravy talks about childhood ambitions ("I'm standing in the middle of some other person's life"). The arrangements have a strong R&B flavour that greatly contributes to the energetic and immediately danceable production of Dave Sitek. Runnin' shows how her voice is the most believable during those honest, pain-fuelled moments when it cracks and breaks. On the rollicking Afro-beat track Cobbler, Kelis sings, "You make me hit notes that I never sing" and it seems totally reasonable to have a background singer trail the line with "She never sings these notes". Hooch is the funkiest track here, with a smoky staccato rhythm guitar that goes perfectly with Kelis's husky voice.
Are We There is the first of her four LPs that Van Etten produced herself, and her clarity of vision is awe-inspiring. The collection finds Van continuing to tear her heart wide open for all to see inside of, and once again reveals a generous and honest beauty. From a hesitant start, the opener Afraid of Nothing becomes something stately yet discontented, while Van's flawless vocals steer it to an emotional climax. Along with the enveloping musical structures, her skill at piecing together tight vocal harmonies is on full display. The rhythmic folk of You Know Me Well offers completely opposing expansions of the general themes of the record, those themes being love and loss. Other triumphs in the production include the horns on the stunning track Tarifa and the woodwinds on the brazen Nothing Will Change. Quieter songs like I Know and I Love You But I'm Lost are driven by piano, leaving lots of space for the vocals to soar. On Are We There, Van turns in the performance of a lifetime. She gives her everything to the album, and it's impossible to be unmoved.

title: hi_score 1.4 released
---
*The full life-cycle starter project for SPAs just got a lot better - again*

![hi_score virtual appliance][_0A]

We just released Version 1.4.x which is a big ugrade from 1.3.x, which in turn
was a major upgrade from 1.2.x. Read on for more details.

# Overview
**`hi_score`** is a full-lifecycle starter project for web application development. It embodies good practice from over 20 years of experience for every lifecycle stage. **`hi_score`** embraces the feature-module (or "web component") design pattern, so it should work well with React or Vue.js. Please do swap assets and libraries as required - [that's the point][_02].

![hi_score][_0B]

# So what's changed?
There were 41 commits since the 1.3.x series. Highlights include:

- Update virtual appliance as shown in the top image. Installing a
  reliable development environment doesn't get much easier.
- Fix bug in `bin/xhi` dependency sort.
- Add Typebomb a sophisticated skill building game.
- Patch font-awesome CSS to avoid path inclusion errors.
- Rewrite build system in JavaScript and use `package.json` as manifest
  (see `bin/xhi help build -v` for details).
- Enhance `js/xhi` libs and documentation.
- Update code standards and images.
- Fix a few dependencies in `bin/xhi` lifecycle tools.
- Change from `jslint` to `eslint` with configuration in `package.json`.

# Check it out
Download the latest [latest virual appliance][_03] to try `hi_score` with the minimum of time and hassle. Pick the latest `ova2` image for virutal box, and the latest `vmx` image for VMware or Parallels. If you need more help with installing a VM or wish to consider other options, please consult the "Development platform" section in the [hi_score][_01] documentation.

Open a terminal and enter the following lines. Wait for each to complete before proceeding to the next. The build process prompts the user to review TODO notes. Just press `return` to accept them.

```bash
  git clone git@github.com:mmikowski/hi_score.git
  cd hi_score
  bin/xhi build,dev_start
  google-chrome http://localhost:8080/build/latest/dist/
```

**`hi_score`** has three example applications. We suggest you check out Typebomb2 (`app-tb02.html`) which was just added. Use the Chrome developer tools to inspect the CSS, the DOM, and the JavaScript. Notice how CSS classes are obsfucated and namespaced. A snapshot of the Typebomb2 game in action is shown below.

![Typebomb2][_0C]

Please check out [hi_score][_01] for complete details. As always, feedback and advice are much appreciated, but pull requests are pure gold :)

Cheers, Mike

In all seriousness, there is a lesson to teach you and this picture makes a perfect prop. Yesterday, I was as pale as the left side of her stunning face (right side of the picture - I'm confused too). And today? Yup, you guessed it. As tan as the right size of her stunning face (left side of the pic). Well, not quite as tan. But close. I joke not.

What 'Pains' Leslie Odom Jr. About One Night In Miami's Sam Cooke
We sit in a little bit of a place of privilege because of Sam's work. Because Sam walked, Aretha could run, and Aretha gave Whitney wings, and Whitney gave, you know, so you can't judge some of our ancestors that came before us because they were doing the best they could. You know, Sam wore his hair in a natural. That was radical. He cut the conk out of his hair, there was no process in my hair. He gave, as one of the biggest stars of his day, he gave brothas the confidence to wear that little fro, to wear that lil [gestures to his head] natural thing. That was just not done in his day, so he did his part. But yes, it pains me to think that there was a room, any room in America, that would've not opened their arms to Sam Cooke, that he wouldn't have been accepted. You know for me, 'cause he's my guy, any room that didn't accept him didn't deserve him. But he knew that acceptance in the Copa, that was money. That's gonna open the opportunity to make the dough that I need to make around this country, and his talent deserved it. And he didn't want to be relegated to one section of the business with all that talent that he was bringing to the table.

Q: How to enable the Windows 10 "Containers" feature? Using the latest Windows 10 Fast Ring build 14316 (inside a VMware virtual machine), I'm trying to make the Desktop App Converter function working.
When running the PowerShell script as advised:
PS C:\> .\DesktopAppConverter.ps1 -Setup -BaseImage .\BaseImage-14316.wim

I'm getting an error:

Assert-RequiredFeatureEnabled: fatal error 1000: required feature is not installed or enabled. Please refer to machine setup instructions.
  In C:\MyPath\DesktopAppConverter\converter_util\EnvironmentAssertions.ps1:40 Zeichen:9

When looking into the mentioned source code, it seems that this line fails:
$feature = Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Containers"

I've already tried to enable various Windows features without success.
My question:
What is this "Containers" feature and how to enable it?

A: Quote from the documentation:

Supported operating system
Windows 10 Anniversary Update Enterprise edition preview (Build 10.0.14316.0 and later)

A: Just run this command in PowerShell:
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName $("Microsoft-Hyper-V", "Containers") -All
Click Y. It will restart. After that, you're good.
I ran that command on Windows 10 Pro.

A: Now, you need to enable "Get Insider Preview builds".
Here where it is:

A: It looks like Hyper-V didn't get installed correctly either
Try to remove them, then install manually to see if that helps. Make sure you run power shell as an admin.
Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName microsoft-hyper-v -online
restart-computer
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All
restart-computer
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Containers -All

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName
$("VirtualMachinePlatform","Microsoft-Windos-Subsystem-Linux")
restart-computer

A: Check and start with clean image using DISM:
sfc /scannow (will take some time)
dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

If not working:
dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase (Should Work)

then Install Full Feature "Containers" with WSL (you can allso upgrade to WSL2)
dism.exe /Online /Enable-Feature /All /FeatureName:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /norestart

dism.exe /Online /Enable-Feature /All /FeatureName:VirtualMachinePlatform /norestart

and finally:
dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature /All /FeatureName:Containers /norestart

Entertainment Bollywood 30 Aug 2019 Your way? No way!

Rumour has it that Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Inshallah has been shelved over creative differences with his lead actor and friend, Salman Khan.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Salman Khan.
It's both, unfortunate and humorous when a film's name becomes synonymous with its fate. Yes, we're talking about Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Inshallah, a film that might only see the light of day if the Almighty works a miracle. After being postponed multiple times, the gossipy grapevine now has it that the film has been shelved, thanks to 'creative differences' between the director and the film's lead actor, Salman Khan.
But before we delve into what these differences are, a short recap about the film itself. Inshallah started off by making all the right noises, with Bhansali teaming up with Bollywood's enfant terrible, Salman Khan, after many a 'cast-and-misses'. After the iconic Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, rumour had it that the duo was supposed to work together in Bajirao Mastani 2 and Guzaarish, but issues unavoidable came in the way. Inshallah also created a buzz because of the casting of its lead pair, Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt, a pairing never seen before on the big screen.
But not long after the film's announcement, it hit choppy waters and reports of it being postponed repeatedly started doing the rounds. Now, the film finds itself dying a quiet death in these very waters, and sources in the industry attribute this untimely tragedy to the constant interference of Salman Khan. "Sanjay Leela Bhansali respects and loves his actors and suggestions are welcome but not if they aim to alter the narrative. Hence, he has taken the decision to shelve the film. However, they are still friends and Sanjay Leela Bhansali has immense love and respect for him," says a source.
Another source in the know about Salman's penchant for providing 'creative inputs' adds, "Salman is a superstar and he always likes to work with the directors closely. He is the kind of actor who believes in teamwork and with the kind of work experience he has, he likes to indulge in the creative department and give his inputs. This may not go down well with many directors."
Though allegedly unhappy about the interference, the director chose to salvage his friendship with Salman rather than his film. "Bhansali and Salman have always had their on-and-off fights and that's normal between friends. However, Bhansali would never want to put his friendship at stake for the sake of a film. Had Inshallah been made, it would certainly have been an interesting watch for the audience but he rather chose to save his friendship," says an industry insider.
Bhansali and Salman have worked together in some memorable films like Khamoshi, followed by Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. But, the director-actor duo has also had their share of differences. An upset Salman once told a source of ours that he lost out on Devdas to Shah Rukh Khan because Bhansali felt that he was not mature enough to play the role. Plus, after Guzaarish's release, Salman passed some disrespectful comments about the film, which soured his relationship with Bhansali and also hurt the sentiments of Hrithik Roshan.
Despite all this, the two always expressed a willingness to work together. However, being willing to work together is one thing, and willing the film into reality is quite another. If the baby is going to be thrown out with the bathwater in the pursuit of friendship every time, this reality might remain a distant dream!

Cadet of the Week
Cadet Of The Week: Melissa Czarnogursky
Catrina Dubiansky
26th Nov '19
Cadet Czarnogursky (right) at the flag raising ceremony at Montclair State University for veteran's.
Name: Melissa Czarnogursky
School: Montclair State University
Hometown: East Rutherford, NJ
What Makes This Cadet Stand Out From Their Peers?
Cadet Czarnogursky has not only proven to be an outstanding Cadet, but an overall outstanding citizen. After a little over four years of prior service as an E-5, Fire Directed Center Specialist in Field Artillery, she applied to West Point where she spent one year at the United States Military Academy Preparatory school, and two years at West Point itself. Cadet Czarnogursky transferred this semester to Montclair State University and is now an MS3.
Aside from receiving multiple awards, and being heavily involved in her academics, Cadet Czarnogursky stuck out for a brave act of community service.
On September 1, 2019, Cadet Czarnogursky was on her way to go hiking when she and her friend came across the scene of a motorcycle accident. The victim of the accident suffered from a full amputation of their arm and a compound fracture of the leg. Cadet Czarnogursky took action using the tourniquet and bandage she kept on hand from her personal aid kit. Thanks to her quick response the victim was stabilized and was able to be evacuated safely.
Cadet Czarnogursky represents what it means to be an upstanding Cadet but even more than that—an upstanding citizen who epitomizes the meaning of "protect and serve."
In the Cadet's Own Words:
My time in the Army so far has been life-changing. Every day I have the opportunity to serve those around me at all levels, and the community at large. For me, that is the most rewarding part of being a soldier, and a leader. As an enlisted soldier, I realized how much I loved the profession, from the day to day interactions with those in my unit, to more advanced problem solving and learning how to integrate assets at various levels to accomplish the mission.
I always felt like I had a purpose, and that in some way, what I was doing mattered. My old BN CDR, now COL Jonathan Velishka, encouraged me to pursue a commission, recognizing potential in me that I myself did not see. I joined ROTC to grow as a leader, and continue a career in the world's greatest fighting force. As a leader, I am motivated by the people around me.
I have been blessed with incredible mentors along the way, from various branches in the Army, who continue to encourage and teach me so that I can be the best version of myself. I am also driven by teaching and caring for soldiers. It is one thing I miss most about being an NCO, but something I look forward to doing at a larger capacity as an officer.

Nutrition retailer GNC announces collaboration with Proactis
Paroma Bhattacharya August 21, 2018 Consumer Goods
Proactis, the global B2B eCommerce and spend management solutions provider, has recently made it to the headlines for announcing that it has been selected by General Nutrition Centers (GNC) Inc. to plan and execute online sourcing events. As per authentic sources, the successfully managed sourcing events by Proactis would provide an ideal platform for the future sourcing strategy of GNC.
Speaking on the tie up with Proactis, Chief Financial Officer of GNC, Tricia Tolliver was reportedly quoted stating that Proactis Sourcing Services provides the firm with access to best-in-class tools and knowledge in optimizing and expanding the sourcing efforts by securing new business opportunities while delivering greater value.
Sources familiar with the development claim that maximizing the procurement capacity for executing competitive sourcing events is essential for GNC to increase savings and boost efficiencies across the business given the firm's substantial growth in the recent years.
Commenting on the new partnership, Vice President Managed Sourcing Sales at Proactis Sourcing Services, Len Kaplan was reportedly quoted stating that a successful eSourcing project with an optimistic influence on each aspect of an organization needs an associate that truly realizes the unique challenges and requirements of the company. The approach being adopted by GNC would not only lead to significant savings but would be able to use the services of Proactis to expand its ongoing financial transformation, Kaplan added.
A while ago, GNC had announced that it plans to close 200 stores this year with the firm claiming that the number could vary depending on its ability to move some stores or renegotiate leases in an attempt to fix its businesses.
For the record, the firm is touted as one of the largest global specialty retailers of nutritional products which includes mineral, vitamin, sports nutrition supplements, herbal and other specialty supplements, energy and diet products. The firm has operations in 46 international markets with more than 4,800 retail outlets throughout the United States.

Daughter Of Pontefract Widow Killed By Asbestos Appeals For Information On Parents' Work
"Since Jean died, the family has found it incredibly difficult to come to terms with her no longer being here, and what makes it worse is the unanswered questions they still have surrounding her death. Through our work we come across many families devastated by asbestos many years after initial exposure has occurred. Sadly, Jean was unable to recall some of the details regarding her working environments and how exposure to asbestos would have occurred. Jean was also unable to provide information in relation to her late husband's working conditions after sadly losing him to cancer in 1993. We would therefore be grateful if anyone who worked with him for any of these companies could come forward with any information that may help with our investigations. Any detail, no matter how small, could prove vital."
Pontefract Man With Asbestos Cancer Thanks Hospice For 'Amazing' Care Provided During Stay
"David's diagnosis is yet another reminder of the terrible legacy left behind by asbestos, with many people falling ill several decades after initial exposure has taken place. As he continues to come to terms with what his illness means for his future, we are pleased to have secured an interim payment to help him access any specialist treatment that he needs. David has recently been undertaking regularly physiotherapy sessions to ensure that he can stay fit for treatment and has also importantly been able to access swift psychological support to assist him in dealing with anxiety and distress that he is suffering from due to living with cancer. We were pleased to assist him with his donation to The Prince Of Wales Hospice after he expressed how grateful he was for the care and support they provided to him during his stay. Hospices do so much work for patients in the last stages of their lives, as well as providing vital in-patient support for patients and their families, and it's lovely to recognise this."
