Sóiči Noguči (, ; * 15. dubna 1965 Jokohama, Japonsko) je japonský astronaut, 435. člověk ve vesmíru, zaměstnanec japonské kosmické agentury JAXA. Ve vesmíru byl třikrát. Roku 2005 uskutečnil krátkodobý kosmický let na Mezinárodní vesmírnou stanici (ISS) v raketoplánu Discovery. V prosinci 2009 do vesmíru odstartoval podruhé, tentokrát v ruském Sojuzu, na půlroční misi na ISS. Potřetí se do vesmíru dostal v listopadu 2020 na palubě soukromé lodi Dragon společnosti SpaceX, opět při půlroční misi na ISS. Stal se tak třetím člověkem, který letěl do vesmíru ve třech různých typech vesmírných lodí. Celková délka jeho letů dosáhla 344 dní, 9 hodin a 34 minut, celková délka čtyř výstupů do volného prostoru pak dosáhla 27 hodin a 1 minuty. Sóiči Noguči je ženatý, má tři děti.

Život

Inženýr
Sóiči Noguči se narodil v Jokohamě, dětství prožil v blízkém městě Čigasaki. Vystudoval letecké inženýrství na Tokijské univerzitě – bakalářem se stal roku 1989, magistrem roku 1991. Po škole pracoval ve společnosti  (IHI).

Kosmonaut
V květnu 1996 byl vybrán mezi astronauty oddílu JAXA. Od srpna 1996 procházel všeobecným výcvikem v Johnsonově středisku NASA v Houstonu. V dubnu 1998 získal kvalifikaci letového specialisty raketoplánu. Poté zůstal v Houstonu v oddělení užitečného zatížení a modulů (). Červenec a srpen 1998 strávil na stáži ve Středisku přípravy kosmonautů (CPK) ve Hvězdném městečku.

V dubnu 2001 byl určen do posádky letu STS-113 plánovaného na červenec 2002, později byl přeřazen na let STS-114 určený na duben 2003. Po mnoha odkladech vzlétl raketoplán Discovery k Mezinárodní vesmírné stanici (ISS) až 26. července 2005 ve 14:39:00 UTC. Během letu provedl Noguči se Stephenem Robinsonem tři výstupy do otevřeného vesmíru s celkovou délkou 20 hodin a 5 minut. Let skončil přistáním na Edwardsově letecké základně 9. srpna 2005 ve 12:11:22 UTC, trval tedy trval 13 dní, 21 hodin a 32 minut.

Od ledna 2006 se Noguči v CPK připravoval na dlouhodobý let na ISS, v srpnu 2006 byl předběžně určen náhradníkem Kóiči Wakaty v Expedici 16 na ISS a zahájil přípravu na let Sojuzem, ale záhy byl z posádky odvolán. Ve dnech 16.–27. ledna 2007 absolvoval s Saližanem Šaripovem výcvik k přežití v lesích za Moskvou. Od února 2007 se vrátil k roli náhradníka Wakaty, tentokrát v Expedici 18, se startem v březnu 2009.

V květnu 2008 JAXA oznámila zařazení Nogučiho do posádky Expedice 22/23 se startem v Sojuzu TMA-17 v prosinci 2009. Ke stanici odstartoval s kolegy Olegem Kotovem a Timothy Creamerem 20. prosince 2009 ve 21:52 UTC z Bajkonuru, Trojice po pobytu na ISS přistála na Zemi 2. června 2010 v 03:25 UTC, její let tak trval 163 dní, 5 hodin a 33 minut.

Dne 31. března 2020 byl Noguči vybrán na let SpaceX Crew-1, půlroční misi na ISS v rámci Expedice 64 a zároveň první řádný let lodi Dragon společnosti SpaceX. Posádka, jejímiž členy se dále stali Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover a Shannon Walkerová, do vesmíru odstartovala z Kennedyho vesmírného střediska 16. listopadu 2020 v 00:27 UTC. Po připojení k ISS se stala součástí Expedice 64. Noguči během pobytu na ISS uskutečnil 1 výstup do volného prostorus Kathleen Rubinsovou o délce 6 hodin a 56 minut. Posádka Space Crew-1 na ISS zůstala ještě dva týdny od zahájení nové Expedice 65 a pak ve své lodi přistála v Mexickém zálivu nedaleko pobřeží Floridy 2. května 2021 v 6:56 UTC, tedy po 167 dnech, 6 hodinách a 29 minutách letu.

Q: Dataframes - equivalent to JOIN with LIKE condition, or value in sublist I have 2 dataframes from 2 different sources.
System A

system_a_id
designation

A10001
Catalog A1234

A10002
Catalog A1235

System B

system_b_id
name
other_ids

B20008
Thing_B20008
Yabbadabbadoo, Bender, Catalog A1234

B20009
Thing_B20009
Snark Snark, Catalog A1235, Leela

I would like to be able to join these together, into one row with all columns, based on 'designation' being found as a substring within 'other_ids'
In SQL this would be written simply as:
SELECT A.*, B.*
FROM A
LEFT JOIN B
  ON B.other_ids LIKE CONCAT('%', A.designation, '%')

Now, I imagine that there is either substring 'contains' search to use here, or I could break B.other_ids into its own list and try to do a apply function of some kind - but I'm struggling on syntax for either method, yet alone performance. (This is going to be a LOT of records joined - half a million)

A: Looks like "designation" appears after comma in "other_ids". You could split "other_ids" on comma, take the second parts and assign it as "designation" column to systemB. Then merge it with systemA on "designation":
out = systemB.assign(designation=systemB['other_ids'].str.split(', ').str[-1]).merge(systemA, on='designation', how='left')

In general, you could use str.contains to identify the indices that match, rearrange then join:
idx = A['designation'].apply(lambda x: B.index[B['other_ids'].str.contains(x)][0])
out = B.loc[idx].join(A)

Output:
  system_b_id          name                             other_ids  \
0      B20008  Thing_B20008  Yabbadabbadoo, Bender, Catalog A1234
1      B20009  Thing_B20009     Snark Snark, Leela, Catalog A1235

     designation system_a_id
0  Catalog A1234      A10001
1  Catalog A1235      A10002

Update 23.5 Release NotesHere are the Release Notes for Update 23.5, released on Tuesday, April 23rd. News and Notes:Classes Beorning Relentless Maul now does double damage when it is traited for Brutal Energy, which halves its duration. The blue line version of Relentless Maul is now called Menacing Maul, and its duration is no longer halved. Vigilant Roar's Reflect Damage legacy now correctly modifies incoming healing and is now named Vigilant/Thunderous Roar Incoming Healing. It is not providing the correct increase, yet, however. Some animation changes were not properly applied to male Beornings, and have been updated. Burglar The overall goal is to increase the Burglar's general damage output, fix some structural issues with their skills, improve their group survivability, and streamline some of their play. Damage on most skills has been increased and shuffled in an attempt to put more skills in a more appropriate range of DPS. All melee skills have had their range increased to a minimum of 3.5. Most of the Burglar's skills have had their "Fast" trait removed, but this only really had an effect when the prior skill had an execution time longer than its animation time. Subtle Stab is still "Fast" so you can more easily see which skills are being shortened. Double Edged Strike is now an immediate skill. Find Footing is now Instant. Provoke now has a 15 meter range and a six second cooldown. Provoke now provides a 20% crit chance bonus on your next attack, similar to a lesser "aim" effect. Provoke provides a stacking (x3) self buff that halves the damage of the next attack against you. Provoke no longer penalizes your party's crit chance against the target by 2%. Mischievous Glee now heals for 10% of max health. Self Adulation now adds 20% to Clever Retort healing. Both Double Edged Strike and Flashing Blades are now area of effect skills (3 targets). Coup de Gras no longer has a critical magnitude bonus, but does better base damage. Its cooldown has been reduced from sixty to thirty seconds. Feint now allows you to trigger more stealth effects and bonuses of other skills, though it still does not provide true stealth's melee damage bonus. Knives Out has been changed to provide a small radius Force Taunt that lasts for the duration of the effect, followed by an aggro dump that reduces aggro in a similar radius. Knives Out now mitigates all forms of incoming damage, instead of just melee damage. Damage reduction has been increased from 80% to 85%. Cunning Strike bleeds are now shorter duration non-stacking bleeds that apply at four different magnitudes, depending on how hard you crit +1 from stealth. Cunning Strike Bleed duration has been reduced. Gambles have been substantially reworked. You can now have one gamble of each type on a target simultaneously. The skills Gambler's Strike, Hedge Your Bet, and Blind Bet now apply each of these gambles respectively. A blue line Burglar stealth surprise attack will apply a random gamble. Gambles can no longer be tiered up or down, and simply roll a new 1-6 value when re-applied. Gambles now last a base 30 seconds. Cash Out consumed all Gambles on a target, granting a high magnitude damage effect, a self heal over time, and a stun, respectively. Cash Out's cooldown is now a base of 40 seconds. Note: Gambles are NOT per Burglar, but rather per Target, so competing Burglars will overwrite or consume each other's Gambles. Gamble icons have been changed. Subtle Stab's cooldown has been reduced to 2.5 seconds. Gamble Chance mods have been changed to Gamble Damage mods. Minstrel Major Ballad's description has been fixed. Improved Hero's Strike now properly increases Hero's Strike healing component. Instruments should no longer get stuck in hands after certain skills play. Crafting Apprentice through Westfold crafted cloaks were erroneously modified to all give Will with the crafting updates of 23.4 and 23.4.1. Since cloaks are for everyone, the stats on the following crafted cloaks have been adjusted to provide options for all classes with an attempt made to grant stats consistent with the stats present before U23.4.1, meaning in some cases (indicated by *) Will or Might are still granted as singular main stats in a recipe set: Rough Cloth Cloak, Tough Cloth Cloak, Heavy Cloth Cloak, Stout Cloth Cloak, Quilted Cloak, Thick Quilted Cloak, Linen Cloak, Fine Linen Cloak, Heavy Quilted Cloak, Stout Quilted Cloak, Loose Linen Cloak, Pliant Linen Cloak, Cotton Cloak, Thick Cotton Cloak, Traveller's Cloak, Fine Traveller's Cloak, Heavy Cotton Cloak, Stout Cotton Cloak, Superb Traveller's Cloak*, Exquisite Traveller's Cloak*, Explorer's Cloak, Fine Explorer's Cloak, Scholar's Cloak, Fine Scholar's Cloak, Loose Explorer's Cloak, Pliant Explorer's Cloak, Superb Scholar's Cloak*, Exquisite Scholar's Cloak*, Pristine Cloak, Thick Pristine Cloak, Radiant Cloak, Fine Radiant Cloak, Padded Pristine Cloak*, Stout Pristine Cloak*, Superb Radiant Cloak, Exquisite Radiant Cloak, Rock-climber's Cloak*, Rugged Rock-climber's Hooded Cloak*, Master's Cloak, Herald's Cloak, Officer's Cloak, Noble's Cloak, Magnificent Master's Hooded Cloak, High Herald's Hooded Cloak, High Officer's Hooded Cloak, Heroic Noble's Hooded Cloak, Dunlending Cloak of Tactics, Unmatched Dunlending Cloak of Tactics, Dunlending Cloak of Action, Unmatched Dunlending Cloak of Action, Wizard's Cloak of the Rider, Ranger's Cloak of the Rider, Warrior's Cloak of the Rider, Wizard's Cloak of Théodred, Ranger's Cloak of Théodred, Warrior's Cloak of Théodred Items 12 Year Anniversary Gifts are now ready for players starting on April 24th. The Pony Steed of the Unearthed Kingdom will now display its lantern light in the correct location. The Cap of the Mountain Meadow has been corrected to no longer twitch on some avatars. Dâr Narbugud - All Fungus-covered Strongboxes will now drop appropriate items, including Greater Elf-stones and housing trophy barter items, even for full raid groups. LOTRO Store Making Store purchases on an account with no characters will no longer incorrectly tell you it failed to deliver character items, if a purchase did not include a character item. Miscellaneous Corrected some grammatical errors and missing place names in German for the Eriador, Shire, Eryn Lasgalen, Ered Luin, and world maps. Known Issues: The buffs received from the blue line Burglar trait 'Even the Odds' are not currently stacking. Vigilant/Thunderous Roar legacy is not providing correct Incoming Healing increase yet. The yellow line Burglar trait Self Adulation incorrectly states that it adds +5 pulses to Mischievous Glee.
The Hoppening, Updates now and near future!
Hey there! Of course you can join back! I can be on later tonight to help with that if you don't already have an invite by someone else.
I vanished a couple of years ago because of real life, wondering if I can get a re-invite to the FC? I think I still have the FFXIV discord channel saved somewhere. I brought back my husband and a friend and we've been levelling/doing PotD when we're online. I just started on the Stormblood content.
Elyrian, but I might upgrade one or two levels later.

Cat: SWAMPX 1 (B-STOCK).
Review: ***B-STOCK: Outer sleeve torn and corner creased, but product in perfect working order***
It's easy to see why Loefah snapped up this single for Swamp 81. For starters, bass-heavy beat-maker Sumgii has already contributed a number of killer missives to the label's digital catalogue, and "Wanawake" contains one of his fattest beats to date - a sparse, warped, sub-heavy affair that sits somewhere between regular hip-hop and 21st century grime. Then there's the fine bi-lingual English/Swahili rap that sits atop it from Nah Eeto, a rising star of Kenya's blossoming underground. Her style and delivery is distinctive and on-point, working in perfect harmony with Sumgii's killer backing track. Loefah naturally supplies the obligatory remix, placing Eeto's vocal atop a crunchy bed of hip-house style James Brown breaks and stirring synthesizer chords.

Made You Look (instrumental Without guns) (3:18)
Review: Nas's 2002 album God's Sun is not his most iconic, but it still spawned some essential singles Chief amongst them is 'Made You Look', built around samples from Incredible Bongo Band's 'Apache.' The tune really established him in his ongoing battle with Jay Z and like all his work it displays intricate lyricism and old school boom bap beats. The free-associative rhymes touch on an array of themes that cover a wide span from hype to legacy, partying and chest beating self congratulation. The flip includes an instrumental that is not explicit like the original, so lacks some of the things that make it so raw.

The World Is Yours (instrumental) (4:44)
Review: First featured on Nas' peerless 1994 album "Illmatic" - a classic that really should be in your collection - "The World Is Yours" is a classic Pete Rock production that has never appeared on a seven-inch single before. Mr Bongo has decided to set the record straight, pairing the album version, which includes some of Nas' most potent lyrics, delivered in fine style as you'd expect, with an instrumental take that showcases Pete Rock's brilliant beat and tight, on-point scratches. It's a deliciously baggy beat all told, with sampled pianos and subtle jazz lifts combining cannily to create a suitably laidback, golden-era groove.

Review: Another day, another Notorious BIG reissue. Are we complaining? Hell naw! This time it's a pair of lesser known freestyles that make the cut: "Where Brooklyn A (with 2Pac)" has ambient sounds from the street adding to the realness and rawness of the verses, while "The Wickedest Freestyle For Mister Cee" is probably the best tune about sexually transmitted diseases you will hear this week, because if anyone can make such a subject matter sound good, it is Biggie.

Review: The Street Knowledge "45 series" appears to have been set up to educate heads on original 1990s hip-hop jams, or at the very least deliver fresh pressings of some seriously classic cuts. This inaugural release begins with Warren G and Nate Dogg's 1994 heater "Regulate", a deep and seductive number that makes great use of samples from Michael McDonald's teary blue-eyed soul classic "I Keep Forgetting". Flip to the B-side and you'll find Luniz 1995 hit "I Got 5 On It", a cut that's been bitten, reworked and re-made umpteen times in the 24 years that have passed since it was first released. As this reissue proves, the Oakland duo's original version is still streets ahead of the rest.

Review: God's Son was recorded in 2001 and 2002 and went on to be the New York hip hop icon's sixth studio album. The record was partly produced by Eminem, partly inspired by Nas's on going beef with Jay-Z, and also the death of his mother. As such violence, religion and stark emotional experiences all colour the lyrics and have led to the record being thought of as one of his most personal and honest. Just a month after it was released, the album was certified Platinum for shifting more than a million copies. It kicks off with one of James Brown's most iconic beats of all paired with some smooth flow from Nas, and the quality never dips from there.

Review: Ras Beats sounds as good as any classic era New York hip hop artist, but is actual a contemporary beat maker who also brings his own perspective to the mixing table. "And I Say" is one of his biggest tunes to date from back in 2018 and now it gets its first vinyl pressing. John Jiggs' boom-bap production is crisp and cavernous, with big hits making for big beats that Was raps over in fine style. An instrumental is also included on the flip of this tidy, limited edition 7".

Review: It's been a long time coming but finally The Nobodies' cult 1997 album "Fables" is available on vinyl for the first time. The band comprised of Equinox, Apocalypse and The Conglomerate headed to NYC to record with EagleMan, Phatboy and Babyhead on the beats for this one. The results are straight up boom bap gold with melodies Roy Ayers would-be proud of, with plenty of on point social commentary in the lyrics. Our favourites: deep, jazz tinged number "Off The Block", feel good party "Hands To The Sky" and flower power goodness "Do What I Got A Do".

I've been asked if I worry about these videos spoiling anything in the upcoming chapter. That had crossed my mind, but it's not something I'm particularly worried about. A single panel shouldn't be enough to ruin a story.
To be honest, I am being a little selective about what I show in these videos, and even though I show the full page at the end of the video, I think that the story is only fully appreciated when read in its final form, which is definitely not what is being shown here. Once so far, I have redacted images from the video, but that was more to have fun than to actually safeguard readers from any potential spoilers.
This video shows a lot of how decisions are made in the art. The pencils are usually pretty loose, allowing for decisions about adding details to be made during inking, usually. In addition to details, the choice about rendering (adding elements to indicate lighting, depth, etc.) are usually left for the inking as well. With the panel inked in the above video, I really was aiming for a specific look which I mostly hit, but the final panel is a bit messier than what I had wanted and, had I done more planning, it would look better. But, that would go against, a bit, about the creative ethos of how I create Long John. I want it to be a learning experience that will rely on my experience in making comics for ten years (TEN YEARS) now (well, in September) and to trust my talent and sensibilities to guide the art for the comic.
Such trust also allows for happy accidents, which has happened often; however, this also allows for stumbled attempts along the way. There have been a fair amount of wobbly perspective, strange anatomy, and bad compositions. With that in mind, it all still passes my own bar for clarity. As poorly drawn as a panel could be, I always ask the question, "Does this make it hard for the reader to understand the page?" If yes, I redraw the panel, usually on a separate piece of paper that I cut out and tape over the rejected one––that has happened a few times. If no, which is most often, I roll with the punches or try to improve it with coloring. The one thing I don't do is use Photoshop to redraw, remove, or replace any art. What is on the page ends up on the screen for the reader (with some very, very slight exceptions), because that's the comic I want to make.
At this point in my creative development, I would rather have my best efforts in the hands of the reader than a "perfect" comic. The latter would just be boring.


Cervical pain syndromes are one of the main contemporary problems of today that reduce the quality of life of those affected. One of the most worrying fact is that these syndromes appear more and more in the younger age. Because of that, there is a big importance to educate affected people with etiology, symptoms and risk factors that lead to the appearance of painful cervical pain syndromes. The aim of this thesis is to present a physiotherapy treatment in persons affected by cervical pain syndromes. Furthermore, the secondary aim is to determine the impact of physiotherapy procedures on pain levels and other symptoms of painful cervical pain syndromes, as well as the imapct on the activities of daily life.

Like the good developers we are we will kick of things by defining some requirements to help us in the design process.
Model: PHP Script that provides the data framework. This can be anything from file system to the DB connection.
Controllers must not under any circumstances run for more than 30 seconds CPU time.
Workers must be able to operate independently.
Workers should never have to interact with the file system.
Workers should have one verb to accept work. Common convention is to call this verb fire or index.
A fair lot of the requirements are self explanatory. If you would like me to expound some more on any of this please comment as much below. Otherwise it will become obvious why we have the requirements in a bit.
Next article we will look at a sample work flow and the request life cycle. We will also get to see the relationship between the objects in our system.


The NLRB just issued a press release announcing: Administrative Law Judge rules Chicago car dealership had overly broad employee policy, but discharged employee's activity not protected. You can read the full decision here. Note that this was one of the cases covered by the NLRB's social media memo, in which they concluded that the employee was engaged in concerted, protected activity under the NLRA.
I find that Becker's posting of the Land Rover accident on his Facebook account was neither protected nor concerted activities, and Counsel for the General Counsel does not appear to argue otherwise. It was posted solely by Becker, apparently as a lark, without any discussion with any other employee of the Respondent, and had no connection to any of the employees' terms and conditions of employment. It is so obviously unprotected that it is unnecessary to discuss whether the mocking tone of the posting further affects the nature of the posting.
There was some other Facebook activity that was arguably protected (Update: the Judge in fact notes that he found it to be concerted, protected activity) but the Judge ruled that the employee was fired for the accident-related Facebook posting.
The Judge did order the employer to post notice that it will not enforce the overly broad provisions of its handbook, and alerting employees to their NLRA rights.

I still can't believe I'm pregnant. It just won't sink in. The only sign that I am is the three pregnancy tests I did before Christmas. There's no bump, no morning sickness, no sign at all.
I have another test in my bathroom, so two weeks after my first positives, I go mad and decide to take it. Of course it's positive, so I feel a bit silly, but it puts a grin on my face for the rest of the day.
As I've been an outpatient at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital's assisted conception unit, I give them a call to let them know the news.
My call is the second pregnancy announcement of the day so they're really pleased and automatically book me in for an early scan at 7 weeks to make sure everything's OK because I have a higher risk of having multiples. I'm totally focused on that date.
I'm terrified of losing this baby. I'm so happy about being pregnant and the idea of going through another rollercoaster 22 months of hope then disappointment in the mission to get pregnant just fills me with despair.
I read a lot of stuff on miscarriage and tried to convince myself that even though it's very common and many women lose their babies in the first 12 weeks, an even higher percentage don't.
I can't imagine being lucky enough to get to 12 weeks with everything being OK, so I'm reading up on everything that can increase the risk. I try not to have my baths too hot and don't turn my electric blanket on any more. My favourite Diet Cokes are in the bin and alcohol is a distant memory.
I just have to get to the magic goal of 12 weeks. I also have to confess that I go to the toilet about 20 times a day – not because I need to go, but because I have to keep checking I'm not bleeding.
The I'm on antibiotics so I can't drink' excuse was wearing a bit thin, so I've had to tell a few people at work the news. They're so excited for me and it makes me laugh to see their foolish grins when I come into work knowing they share my secret!

While a majority of Quiznos restaurants operate in the United States, the popular sub sandwich shop maintains a market presence in roughly 20 countries worldwide. The establishment of franchising opportunities in the early 1980s led to the eventual expansion into United Kingdom markets. In 1999, Quiznos began franchising in the United Kingdom. Dozens of locations in Great Britain and other U.K. territories factor in to the enormous global presence of the brand, which consists of around 4,000 sandwich shops in total.
A 2002 ad campaign launched during the Super Bowl largely popularized Quiznos as a prominent sub sandwich chain. The campaign focused on the toasted sub options available at the chain, which stood as a recurrent theme in subsequent ads and the company slogan. Quiznos shops, much like competitor Subway, prepare menu items right in front of customers. Menus consist of sandwiches, salads, and soups featuring fresh ingredients ranging from vegetables and meats to cheeses and fresh-baked breads. Throughout the U.K., patrons gain easy access to Quiznos restaurants. Most locations sit just off busy highways or along heavily trafficked thoroughfares. Other locations operate out of popular shopping centers, in airports, and as part of college cafeteria or food courts.
The original Quiznos sandwich shop began as a converted Sinclair gas station in 1978 called Sandwich World. The chain eventually assumed the current moniker, Quiznos, in 1981. The same year, Quiznos began franchising and rapidly spread throughout the United States. After establishing franchises throughout Canada in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Canadian division of the company, Quiznos Canada, purchased the rights to begin franchising in the United Kingdom. Franchising officially began in the UK in 1999. Over two dozen sandwich shops operate under the Quiznos banner throughout the British Isles.
Quiznos menus include typical sandwich chain offerings featuring hearty portions toasted under conveyer belt grills to customer specifications. The restaurant chain offers fresh baked breads, such as whole wheat, white, and flat bread. Customers may either personally create sandwiches to taste or choose from a sizeable menu featuring favourites like the Double Swiss Prime Rib sub, Bacon, Egg, and Cheddar wrap, Classic Italian sub, Meatball sub, and Chicken Carbonara. Quiznos sells many sandwich offerings in wrap form. Large, highly filling salads overflowing with toppings like egg, chicken, bacon, peppers, tomatoes, onions, apples, and mandarin oranges also grace Quiznos menus. The fast food chain also sells kid's menu items, soups, desserts, soft drinks, and bottled water.
A private company, Quiznos UK locations fall under direction of Quiznos Canada and proprietorship of QIP Holder LLC, which formally operates as Quiznos. A popular food retailer, Quiznos serves millions of customers annually and pulls in revenues in excess of $130 million a year. Some stores claim average annual sales in upwards of $400,000. Quiznos world headquarters reside in Denver, CO, USA.

With their esteemed showbiz status, Peter Andre and his wife Emily are very well accustomed to life in the public eye.
Scrutiny into the married couple has only excelled over the past year, during the fallout of Pete's former wife Katie Price and her tricky year in the spotlight – with the 40-year-old becoming involved in headlines alluding to a drink driving charge, a stint in rehab and some family drama.
Pete, 45, shares 13-year-old Junior and 11-year-old Princess with KP – who is also the mother of 16-year-old Harvey, five-year-old Jett and Bunny, four.
Despite the alleged dramas, 29-year-old Emily has given an update into life with Pete and their brood of five-year-old Amelia and Theodore, two.
Discussing some comments recently made by Russell Brand, who admitted he is 'no good with nappies' and leaves wife Laura Gallacher with that responsibility, Emily opened up about family life.
'Some people have criticised him for leaving his wife to do everything, but I actually think it's good that he's come out and admitted his weaknesses,' Emily shared in her column for OK! magazine.
Discussing her experience with motherhood, Emily then added: 'I think he just needs to bite the bullet and get on with it because it's not that hard!
Commenting on her family dynamic, with Princess and Junior understood to have moved in with Pete during Pricey's time at The Priory, Emily then added that she didn't leave her husband of four years 'with all four' kids until six months after baby Theo's arrival.
'Having said that, I didn't leave him with all four for probably about six months, but I think that was more just because as a mum you're always around,' she added.
It's speculated that Katie and Emily have previously struggled to see eye to eye – after Pricey allegedly took offence at some comments made by Emily about sobriety.


You have to hand it to BlackBerry (BBRY CEO John Chen -- he has done one heck of a job bringing the former smartphone giant back to life.
Shares of BlackBerry have skyrocketed about 66% so far this year as turnaround specialist Chen and his hand-picked team have pivoted BlackBerry toward a play on several key trends. One is providing technology for connected and autonomous cars. In fact, the company scored a nice win last week by having the technology behind Canada's first on-road autonomous vehicle (a Lincoln MKZ if you must know). The other is developing a suite of products levered to cyber-security. BlackBerry is providing software and services to banks and to other institutions likely fearful of being hacked.
Chen told TheStreet BlackBerry's transformation is largely complete, and more of a push into the connected life lays ahead.

Q: XML transformation using only IIS Web App Deployment On Machine Group task (YAML pipeline) I have created a pipeline using only YAML.
I have defined the deployment part like this:
- stage: AzureDevOpsStaging
  displayName: Deploy build artifacts to staging environment
  dependsOn: BuildSolution
  condition: succeeded('BuildSolution')
  jobs:
  - deployment: DeployArtifacts
    displayName: Deploy artifacts
    environment:
      name: AzureDevOpsStaging
      resourceType: VirtualMachine
    strategy:
      runOnce:
        deploy:
          steps:
          - download: current
            artifact: drop
          - task: IISWebAppDeploymentOnMachineGroup@0
            displayName: Deploy artifacts to IIS
            inputs:
              webSiteName: 'mysite-staging'
              package: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)\drop\*.zip'
              xmlTransformation: true

When I run this I get:
##[warning]Unable to apply transformation for the given package. Verify the following.
##[warning]1. Whether the Transformation is already applied for the MSBuild generated package during build. If yes, remove the <DependentUpon> tag for each config in the csproj file and rebuild.
##[warning]2. Ensure that the config file and transformation files are present in the same folder inside the package.

Things that I've checked:

*

*Both Web.config and Web.AzureDevOpsStaging.config files are in the zip/artifact

*Name of stage - The docs say stage must have the same name as your transform config file; that is: Web.AzureDevOpsStaging.config.

*Name of .config transform file - the name of the .config transform file is Web.AzureDevOpsStaging.config

*Name of environment (the docs doesn't say the name has to be the same as Web.ThisPart.config but I still named the environment
AzureDevOpsStaging just in case.)

But again doing all of the above results in the Web.config not being transformed.
I got it to work with using the file transform task instead which is referenced in the docs from the IIS Web App Deploy task:
- stage: AzureDevOpsStaging
  displayName: Deploy build artifacts to staging environment
  dependsOn: BuildSolution
  condition: succeeded('BuildSolution')
  jobs:
  - deployment: DeployArtifacts
    displayName: Deploy artifacts
    environment:
      name: AzureDevOpsStaging
      resourceType: VirtualMachine
    strategy:
      runOnce:
        deploy:
          steps:
          - download: current
            artifact: drop
          - task: FileTransform@1
            inputs:
              folderPath: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)\drop\*.zip'
              enableXmlTransform: true
              xmlTransformationRules: -transform **\*.AzureDevOpsStaging.config -xml **\*.config
          - task: IISWebAppDeploymentOnMachineGroup@0
            displayName: Deploy artifacts to IIS
            inputs:
              webSiteName: 'mysite-staging'
              package: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)\drop\*.zip'

So can someone please explain to me how I am supposed to configure my YAML to get it to work  using only the IISWebAppDeploymentOnMachineGroup@0 task?
And if this is not possible am I using the task FileTransform@1 properly?
Also, I saw there is a version FileTransform@2 as well. That task didn't have one of the properties that @1 has so I reverted to using v1 instead. But would be great if someone has a bit more info on this newer version and if it's going to deprecate @1 in the future?
Btw, I also got xmlTransformation: true to work with classic release pipeline under the Releases tab in Azure DevOps using the UI. But again I don't want to use the classic stuff, I want to do everything in YAML.

A:
And if this is not possible am I using the task FileTransform@1 properly?

The answer is yes.
The task FileTransform is the one I am using and use frequently.
When I use it in the YAML pipeline as you set:
      - task: FileTransform@1
        displayName: 'File Transform'
        inputs:
          folderPath: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)\drop\*.zip'
          enableXmlTransform: true
          xmlTransformationRules: '-transform **\*.UAT.config -xml **\*.config'
          fileType: xml

It works fine on my side:

In order to perform the conversion correctly, it is necessary to ensure that the syntax in config is correct, and the specified directory is correct


Dog Eared Photography is a custom portrait studio in Belmont MA.
I specialize in eye-opening photographs of dogs and people.
I've been fascinated by light and details all my life. I grew up to be a laser physicist, I've designed theatrical lighting, and I've worked as an architectural lighting designer. I've had a camera and I've been looking around at things with it since I was 15.
So when I look at dogs, and I do, a lot, what I see are two things: details, and light. I love the intricate patterns of fur. I love the tiny curl of a whisker, or the shiny coat that you can almost feel. I can barely sit still when a dog's eyes light up. And, of course, I see their affection, their desire, their excitement. You'd have to be asleep to not notice that dogs just want to play, just want to be happy all the time, and just want to share that with people.
A good photograph records the beauty that's in the details, and in the light.
It awakens feelings of wonder.
the complexity and richness that makes dogs individuals, makes them who they are.
And it captures their I just can't help it personalities.


The 8 teams are divided into two, four-team groups in the Preliminary Round with the top-four seeded teams in Group A and the others in Group B.
The two last-placed teams play a best-of-three Relegation Round series. The third game is only played if needed. The winner of the series plays again at the 2019 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women's World Championship, while the loser will be relegated to Division I Group A.
If a game is tied at the end of regulation time, a five-minute overtime period shall be played after a three-minute intermission. The teams will not change ends for the overtime period. The game will end when the five minutes have expired or when a goal is scored; the scoring team will be declared the winner. If no goal is scored in the overtime period then the Penalty-Shot Shootout Procedure will apply. All overtime periods of any IIHF preliminary-round or round-robin game shall be played with each team at the numerical strength of three (3) skaters and one (1) goalkeeper for games of the preliminary round.
In case of a tie at the conclusion of regulation time in a Relegation Playoff, Placement Playoff, Quarter Final, Semi Final and Bronze Medal Game, there will be a 10-minute sudden-death overtime period played after a three-minute intermission.
The teams will not change ends.
Five different shooters from each team will take alternate shots, until a decisive goal is scored.
If the game is still tied after five shots by each team, the PSS will continue with a tie-break shoot out by one player of each team, with a reversed shooting order. The same or new players can take the tie-break shots.
The goalkeepers will defend the same goal, as in the overtime period. The goalkeepers from each team may be changed after each shot.
Media accreditation for the 2018 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women's World Championship in Dmitrov (Moscow Region), Russia, can be requested until 21st December 2017.
Please complete the application form available in English or Russian and send it to [email protected]. Foreign TV, radio and websites who wish to publish video/audio content please contact the other address in the form.

No matter where you look these days, the cropped-hem pant is the fashion world's sweetheart. Boasting a relaxed fit and a comfort level rivalled only by sweatpants, these palazzo bottoms (a.k.a the "culotte") feature an elasticized pull-on waist and a wide, flowy leg. Pair them with your favourite fitted tank top or basic tee for an outfit that looks just as good as it feels!

Sweet potatoes!!! I love a good sweet potato recipe. The natural flavor is at the top of my list of things to eat, WITHOUT any dressing up. I can straight up bake a sweet potato and eat it completely plain, and be happy.
Usually sweet potato recipes call for lots of butter and sugar. A little cinnamon, more butter — marshmallows even. But these Cider Baked Sweet Potatoes are here to prove you can dress up the natural sweetness and have a dish that can compete with all that unnecessary extra everything — and still fit nicely into your jeans.
This is another recipe that will blow your mind with its simplicity. Just three ingredients!
Sweet potatoes, apple cider, and apple pie spice. That's it! The end.
You will want to be careful when selecting your apple cider — I chose one that was all natural with no sugar added. I didn't want to undo all the good by choosing a juice that was the equivalent of drinking a slice of pie. Know what I mean?
You can slice your potatoes any way you'd like, but I opted to slice and stack — just like when I made these Garlic Herb Potatoes and Squash back at Thanksgiving.
Adding the cider and spice can go a couple different ways as well. You can pour the cider over the sweet potatoes and then sprinkle them with the apple pie spice, OR you can stir the apple pie spice into the cider, and then pour it over that way. It's up to you.
When you serve these, I suggest spooning some of the cooked liquid over the potato slices. This side dish tastes like dessert!!!
But at just 73 calories per serving, you really don't have to feel bad about it.

Will Nimble pass-through ad markers and captioning embedded in a source stream? eg: Source is HLS or MPEG-TS with CEA-608 captions and SCTE-35 ad markers embedded. Will this work with and without the Transcoder?
Nimble pass-through CEA-608 markers with and without transcoder. There is a setting in encoder to pass-through CEA. For transmuxing it will pass CEA by default without any settings.
As far I reacall SCTE-35 data passed through separate transport stream and Nimble just ignore it for now. We're planning to start working on ADs on the next week so if you want to participate in this initiative please contact us via https://wmspanel.com/contact and provide your case description is mpegts live stream for tests.
Has any progress been made on this front. It would be nice if the advertiser could be used to insert content at a splice point or have it pass the trigger through into an HLS stream so the end user player can play a targeted ad.
Currently Advertizer supports only own proprietary format ( read https://wmspanel.com/nimble/advertizer_spec for details), but we're working on SCTE-35 support ( pass-though first and content insertion later). We will issue an article on https://blog.wmspanel.com/ when it will be done, so stay tuned.

Here's Why Facebook May Hide the Number of "Likes" Soon
by Jam Nitura for Preview.ph
It seems like Facebook is following in Instagram's footsteps as it tests out removing the like count visibility on their website. The move reportedly comes in a bid to better their users' mental health and keep the state of their self-esteem from being dependent on the approval of other people. Currently, the test is exclusive to select users in Australia.
Technology blogger and app researcher Jane Manchun Wong first pointed out the change on a Twitter post nearly a month ago, showing its effect from a Facebook status of hers back in 2018. As seen from her screenshot below, users may still see how many people can like their posts by referring to the "people who reacted" list, but the post itself will only display the name of a friend "and others" who've reacted to it. The removal also includes other reaction emojis and view counts for videos.
PHOTO BY TWITTER/wongmjane
In an interview with the ABC Company, Facebook Australia Policy Director Mia Garlick confirmed the news, stating that the social-media site hopes to improve their user's overall experience by putting focus on the quality of their posts rather than the quantity of the reactions they get. It's a stride that may hopefully turn out beneficial in the long run, especially for young people, as past research suggests that Facebook likes have been negatively linked to anxiety and one's perception of themselves.
"Generally, people with low self-esteem are especially likely to take others' negative comments to heart. Recently, researchers at Facebook found that this carries over to reactions to online feedback. Those with low self-esteem tend to feel bad if they perceive that a Facebook post of theirs has received an insufficient number of likes," Psychology professor Gwendolyn Seidman, Ph.D. wrote on Psychology Today in 2016.
Instagram made the same move back in April, having already removed the like-count visibility of select users from seven countries, in order to hone an environment where people can be more comfortable about the photos they post and be free from the pressure of garnering plenty of likes.
Whether Facebook decides to roll out the feature throughout users worldwide will still depend on the result of their current testing.

Peugeot 508 SW Performance, Engine, Ride, Handling | What Car?
The estate gets the same line-up of engines as the saloon. That means, on the petrol side, there is the choice of 1.6-litre Puretech 180 and Puretech 225 engines. There are also three diesels: a 1.5-litre BlueHDi 130 and 2.0-litre BlueHDi 160 and 180 units. The 130 is the only one available with a manual gearbox; everything else gets an eight-speed automatic. A plug-in hybrid version will join the line-up in 2019.
The 179bhp Puretech 180 is the pick of the range. It's smooth, responsive and a more spirited performer than the diesels, with the only disappointment being that it doesn't pull quite as well from low revs, so you have to work it harder.
With a 221bhp output, the Puretech 225 brings a noticeable amount of extra oomph. It's the quickest option in the line-up, but it's more expensive to buy and run than the lower-powered petrol.
If you want diesel power, the 2.0 BlueHDi 160 is the best bet. It's not a huge amount slower than the Puretech 180 but has a lot more torque, so it pulls harder from low revs – useful if you're doing lots of load lugging in the estate.
The 1.5 BlueHDi 130 feels underpowered to the point where you'll find overtaking or joining a motorway more stressful than it should be. We haven't yet driven the BlueHDi 180 in the 508 SW, but in the saloon it has plenty of oomph.
All the engines are impressively refined, with the BlueHDi 130 being the only exception. Because it's a bit down on power compared with the others, you have to work it harder more often, and it's therefore a bit more vocal. Still, on the motorway the 508 SW is nice and hushed inside. You can, though, feel some vibrations through the pedals in the diesels.
Adaptive suspension is standard on the petrols and an option on the BlueHDi 160 and 180 diesels, but it isn't available with the BlueHDi 130. The adaptive suspension is linked to four driving modes: Eco, Sport, Comfort and Normal. There's no discernible difference between the ride and handling characteristics of the estate compared with the saloon, so Comfort and Normal still tend to introduce a floating sensation over the crest of bumps at higher speeds, while Sport increases the steering weight and stiffens the dampers, but the differences are small. Regardless of the setting, the 508 SW fidgets over road imperfections at all speeds; the Skoda Superb Estate is far more forgiving.
The upside of the 508 SW's firm set-up is that it resists body lean well in corners, in addition to gripping like a limpet. But it doesn't offer the steering precision of estate rivals such as the BMW 3 Series, Mazda 6 and Ford Mondeo, so you end up sawing at the wheel quite a bit.
The automatic gearbox can be hesitant around town (not helped by an intrusive engine stop-start system) but is otherwise impressively smooth and quick in its operation. By contrast, the six-speed manual that's standard with the 1.5-litre diesel is disappointing, with a long, notchy action.

У меня нет большого опыта работы с Docker, но похоже ни у одного контейнера нет доступа к самой базе данных из-за чего phpMyAdmin не может к ней подключиться. В чем может быть причина и как её исправить?

Finally, Presidency reacts to the shooting in the Villa, says Buhari not in danger
Newsmart June 14, 2020 Politics Edit
Garba Shehu
The Presidency has assured Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari is not in any form of danger just as it acknowledges concerns expressed by several members of the public regarding the recent incident among occupants of the State House, which escalation led to the arrest of some staff by the police.
The statement to this effect by the Presidency, was coming on the heels of the fracas between the wife of the president, Aisha, and one of the president's aides over the need for him to self-isolate after embarking on a trip outside of the Federal Capital Territory in line with the protocol on combating the novel coronavirus.
The development however led to shooting in the President and would later degenerate to arrest of the security aide of the wife of the president.
The statement by the Presidency, which came after a long silence on the matter, and was signed by the senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, reads in part:
"This is to assure all and everyone that the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari, is not, and was not at anytime in any form of danger arising, either from deadly infections or the reported incident by security personnel, which is currently under investigation.
"This particular incident happened outside the main residence of the President.
"Armed guards and other security personnel assigned to the State House receive the necessary training of especially weapons handling and where they come short, their relevant agencies have their rules and regulations to immediately address them.
"Having authorized the proper investigation to be carried out into this unfortunate incident by the Police, the President has acted in compliance with the rule of law.
"That a minor occurrence is being used by some critics to justify attacks on the government and the person of President Muhammadu Buhari beggars belief.
"In this particular instance, the President says the law should be allowed to take its course."

Q: Saving image file in external storage works buts images doesnt show up in Gallery immediately I have having a problem with image saving in android.When i press the save button,then image (.jpg) gets actually saved in the external storage.But the prob is that it does not show in my GALLERY immediately.It shows mayb after few hours ,days o so o never...
For saving following I am using following code:
if (item.getItemId() == R.id.item3) {
        String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
        myDir = new File(root + "/PaintImage");
        myDir.mkdirs();
        Random generator = new Random();
        int n = 10000;
        n = generator.nextInt(n);
        String fname = "Image-" + n + ".jpg";
        file = new File(myDir, fname);
        if (file.exists())
            file.delete();
        FileOutputStream out = null;
        try {
            out = new FileOutputStream(file);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.getMessage(),
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, out);
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), file.getAbsolutePath(),
                Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        try {
            out.flush();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        try {
            out.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Folder gets created in SD card but Gallery does not show up immediately when the image is saved.
THanks for d help in advance.
