Team back on storm-ravaged Tern Island research station , but only temporarily
Fish and Wildlife Service staff are back on Tern Island at French Frigate Shoals this week, for the second time since a storm destroyed the research station there in December 2012.
This is not a permanent re-occupation.

On December 9, 2012, a storm cell within a low pressure system smashed into the little island before dawn, with intense winds that ripped out windows, destroyed a boat shed, blew away or disabled the solar power system and wiped out most communications. Our report on that is here.
The Fish and Wildlife Service pulled out its biologist and four volunteers nine days later. The Tern station was left for months without human presence, apparently for the first time since before it became a Coast Guard LORAN station many decades ago.
A team went back last spring to clean up the station and to secure it. The Fish and Wildlife Service team left the island a year ago in May 2013. Here us a report on that mission.

By end of spring 2013 reduced budgets eliminated a Tern Island position and prevented the rebuilding of the main administrative and housing facility.
A NOAA-NMFS crew stayed through the summer, working from tents until September 2013. That team conducted monk seal research.
A three-member Fish and Wildlife Service team on the island now is tasked with conducting wildlife assessments and figuring out the condition of the facilities—including what it would take to restore the research presence.
Among the issues at Tern is that the collapsing human-built facilities on the island have the potential of entrapping wildlife (see upper image). Among the functions of the research teams over the years have been assessing threats to wildlife, and helping mitigate them.
French Frigate Shoals lies about 400 miles northwest of Kauai, within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. The Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge is a protective overlay within the monument.
French Frigate Shoals has a small emergent basalt remnant of the original volcanic island. It is called La Perouse Pinnacle. But mostly, shoals is an appropriate term. It is a 22-mile-long crescent of reefs and sand bars. Tern, at the northern end of the reef complex, was one of the sandbars until it was modified to serve as a military base.
When Tern was built up by the Navy during World War II, military teams created a large rectangular structure by slamming steel plates into the reef around an existing sand bar. They filled the interior with the spoils from a dredged channel. The flat area created a roughly 3,300-foot flat coral surface that served as a runway for small aircraft for the next half-century.
The Navy maintained an air station on Tern from 1942 to 1946, and the Coast Guard built and maintained its Long Range Navigation (LORAN) station there from 1952 until it was phased out in 1979.
The Fish and Wildlife Service has had a presence there since the 1970s. Tern is a major Hawaiian monk seal habitat, and is the primary nesting place for the Hawaiian green sea turtle. Additionally, numerous 16 species of seabirds nest by thousands on the island.

Climate scientists have been lying, but not the way you think
Mainstream science has been lying to us about the seriousness of climate change—but not the way you think.
The early reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, if anything, have been understating how bad it could be. Why? Maybe because the reality is so severe, so scary, that they didn't think it was believable.
(Image: Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier on the Amundsen Sea. Credit: NASA.)
Kind of like the staff on the Titanic, choosing between the truth: "We hit an iceberg. The ship is doomed. And two-thirds of you will die." And the calming lie: "We've run into a little problem. Everything will be okay. Meanwhile, please grab a life jacket and calmly head for the exits."
Or maybe it was political: because they were taking so much heat from the well-funded denial crowd. A Drexel University study found that over seven years 2003-2010, more than half a billion dollars was given to 100 denial organizations by foundations, oil companies and the like.
The Carbon Disclosure Project reported a lot of us are already paying costs for the climate change that's here now.
In the IPCC report before the current one, the scientists left out sea level impacts of massive melting ice sheets like the one on Greenland and the ones in Antarctica. That, of course, dramatically reduced their estimates of how high sea level can get.
Ostensibly, they left those numbers out because the science couldn't yet accurately calculate their impact—even though everyone in the business knew the actual impact would drown any sea level estimates that left them out.
So, now the early climate conservatism is getting hit by a truck. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is rising faster than it used to. Sea levels are rising faster than they were in the 1900s. There are more warmer-than-normal days and fewer cooler days over most land areas. The regional salinity of the oceans is changing. The oceans are acidifying. Storm, drought, flood and all the other impacts of climate change are already among us.
The permafrost in northern Alaska and Russia has warmed by 3-5 degrees Fahrenheit (2-3 degrees Celsius) just since the 1980s.
"Multiple lines of evidence support very substantial Arctic warming since the mid-20th century," the new IPCC report says. The Arctic ice sheet is melting, although that doesn't impact sea level. But the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are both losing ice to the oceans at increasing rates. They do impact sea level, in a big way.
In Hawai`i, we care about sea level. The rate of sea level rise has doubled since a century ago. It hasn't been rising this fast at any time in the last 2000 years.
The last time temperatures were consistently 2 degrees Celsius higher than now, sea levels were fifteen feet higher than now.
We've been arguing about sea levels in the range of 15 to 30 inches. But the potential of melting land ice—including the massive Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets—is many times that.
Here's NASA's scary new report on the "unstoppable" melting of the West Antarctica ice sheets.
Here are two paragraphs from the press release:
"The study presents multiple lines of evidence, incorporating 40 years of observations that indicate the glaciers in the Amundsen Sea sector of West Antarctica 'have passed the point of no return,' according to glaciologist and lead author Eric Rignot, of UC Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
"These glaciers already contribute significantly to sea level rise, releasing almost as much ice into the ocean annually as the entire Greenland Ice Sheet. They contain enough ice to raise global sea level by 4 feet (1.2 meters) and are melting faster than most scientists had expected. Rignot said these findings will require an upward revision to current predictions of sea level rise."
The future is even scarier than we're being told, and it's time to tell the folks on the Titanic the truth.

When Hawaiian volcanoes explode, it's gas
Hawaiian volcanoes are sometimes casually called drive-in volcanoes, for their comparatively tame eruptions, but sometimes they're anything but tame.
Sometimes they fountain aggressively, and occasionally, they explode, tossing boulders like so many grains of sand.
(Image: Fountaining at the 1959 eruption of Kīlauea. Credit Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, U.S.G.S.)
A new study sheds some light on how the volcano determines when to be calm and when to have a temper.
It suggests that Kīlauea Volcano's most explosive eruptions may come from far deeper in the Earth than previously thought, and may determine their explosive nature when still at depth.
A team of researchers studied 25 eruptions in the last 600 years, and concluded that the amount of dissolved gas in the molten rock is a key indicator of explosiveness.
The researchers include Don A. Swanson of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, Bruce Houghton of the University of Hawai`i Department of Geology and Geophysics, and . R. Sides, M. Edmonds and J. Maclennan, of the University of Cambridge Earth Sciences Department.
Their paper, Eruption style at Kīlauea Volcano in Hawai'i linked to primary melt composition, was published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
They argue that explosive eruptions seem to be from lavas formed deep, which rise fast to the surface, and bypass storage in a magma reservoir that may feed many less violent eruptions.
"We conclude that the eruption style and magma-supply rate at Kīlauea are fundamentally linked to the geochemistry of the primary melts formed deep below the volcano. Magmas might therefore be predisposed towards explosivity right at the point of formation in their mantle source region," they say.
Or, put more simply, "Gas-rich magmas are "predisposed" to rise quickly through the Earth's mantle and crust and erupt powerfully," Houghton said in a University of Hawai`i press release.

New clarity on mysterious 1956 eruption in Kauai channel.
You'd think we would have Hawai`i's volcanic geology well understood, but new mysteries pop up with regularity.
Like the report this week that O`ahu has a third volcano, besides the Ko`olaus and the Wai`anaes.
They're calling it Ka`ena, and it extends most of the way to Kaua`i. Now underwater, but once above the surface and connected to the rest of O`ahu.
(Image: This chart of the Hawaiian Islands shows the extended shallows to the west of O`ahu, which have now been identified as a separate volcano, Ka`ena, rather than a rift of the Wai`anae volcano. You can also see the spur to the southwest of Moloka`i, another volcano that forms Penguin Bank. Credit: USGS.)
O`ahu's ancient shape is a lot, it turns out, like the configuration of Molokai, which has, from east to west, the volcano peaked by Kamakou, and the one at Maunaloa, and then the submerged volcano that forms Penguin Bank.
On the subject of the Ka`ena volcano, I refer you to Jim Borg's excellent Honolulu Star-Advertiser piece on the Ka`ena volcano. If you're interested in the more technical view, here is an abstract of the original paper, written by a team led by John M. Sinton in the Bulletin of the Geological Society of America.
Rather than review that information, I'll make reference to a seemingly related nearly 60-year-old mystery, an apparent volcanic eruption in the Ka`ie`ie Channel, between Kaua`i and O`ahu.
It was May 23, 1956, a military flight over the channel spotted yellow water with debris on the surface and a distinct smell of sulfur in the air. Dead whales were reported in the area. Within days, pumice was reported washing ashore on O`ahu.
There was lots of speculation at the time, some of which dismissed the reports. If there were an active volcanic vent between Kaua`i and O`ahu, we'd certainly know about it, after all.
Then, in 1991, a photographic survey of the ocean floor in the channel found fresh lava. The Associated Press report on that is here.
Frisbee Campbell, vice president of the mapping firm Seafloor Surveys International, was quoted as saying, ''We found what looked like a very young lava flow. It could have been created yesterday or 100 years ago or 1,000 years ago, but it looks fresh, like you were looking at an area of the Big Island with a lava flow on it.''
Tom Wright, the respected long-time scientist in charge at Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, said that was consistent with the 1956 eruption.
Sinton's new Ka`ena volcano report said it could not confirm a 1956 eruption from its own studies.
His paper suggested that the pumice that was found on O`ahu beaches was unlikely to have been from any late eruption activity on Ka`ena. Most references suggest pumice is formed during aerial eruptions, and it seems odd that pumice could form under the extreme pressure of an eruption a couple of thousand feet underwater.
That said, the evidence of a mid-1900s volcanic incident in the Ka`ie`iewaho would seem compelling: yellow-brown water, dead marine life, the smell of sulfur, evidence of fresh lava on the channel floor, and now, news that there's a big old volcano there.
Ka`ena is reported from rock studies to be some 3.5 million years old, and Sinton's team said it once reached 3,000 feet above sea level.
Interisland navigators have long known there's something odd going on underwater between Kaua`i and O`ahu, since the sea is very different on the O`ahu side of the channel than on the deeper Kaua`i side. It's one reason that the Ka`ie`ie channel has three distinct names: Ka`ie`ie Waho, Ka`ie`ie Waena and Ka`ie`ie Loko.
I'm guessing as to the boundaries identified by these ancient names, but I have paddled and sailed this channel, and the names make sense if understood this way:
If you have sailed on a trade wind day from Wai`anae to Nawiliwili, you will have known the calm, protected waters in the lee of O`ahu, the Ka`ie`ie Loko.
And the steep, crashing waves over the shallower waters of what is know known as the Ka`ena volcano, the Ka`ie`ie Waena.
And finally, the longer surfing swells as water deepens andKaua`i comes into sight, the Ka`ie`ie Waho.
Which raises the question of whether the new volcano ought to be named after a spot on the Wai`anae range, Ka`ena. Or should it have the Hawaiian name for the waters it creates: Ka`ie`ie Waena?

Climate change's evil twin, ocean acidification: chickens come home to roost.
The largely untold story of CO2 and climate change is, of course, ocean acidification: It's here, now an starting to kill off marine life.
The oceans cover most of the Earth's surface, and the oceans have taken up vast amounts of the carbon-dioxide pumped into the atmosphere by fossil fuel burning, deforestation and other activities.
Those chickens are coming home to roost.
(Image: Ocean acidification is eroding the shells of a key tiny sea creature, the pteropod. The name means wing-foot, and refers to its split foot, which it uses like tiny flippers for movement. Credit NOAA.)
Mix CO2 with water and you get carbonic acid. It happens in a Coke bottle. And it happens in the laboratory. And sure enough, it happens in the ocean. The oceans have become more acid. And what does that matter?
Have you ever thrown a piece of seashell (alkaline) into a dish of vinegar (acid)? Try it. The shell sizzles and pops and eventually disappears.
The loss of shell-forming marine life was an early prediction about climate change. Now, it's happening.
A study released May 1 shows that the shells of a small sea snail are dissolving.
"We found 53% of onshore individuals and 24% of offshore individuals on average to have severe dissolution damage," wrote the authors of this paper, referring to pteropods—a group of free-swimming deep-ocean sea snails.
Here's an easier-reading NOAA report on the same study.
Hawai`i has actually benefitted in one small way from acidification. Due to higher-acidity in upwellings off the West Coast, an oyster farming company moved its oyster hatchery to Hawaii. This story in theSeattle Times said: "Carbon dioxide from fossil-fuel emissions had turned seawater in Willapa Bay along Washington's coast so lethal that slippery young Pacific oysters stopped growing."
They can still grow the adult oysters in Washington waters, but the animals have trouble reproducing there.
In the Islands, there is concern that our coral reefs are at risk. Corals, after all, are made of calcium carbonate, an alkaline material that also makes up oyster and pteropod shells.
The National Climate Assessment's Pacific section includes these words:
"The amount of calcium carbonate, the biologically important mineral critical to reef-building coral and to calcifying algae, will decrease as a result of ocean acidification. By 2035 to 2060, levels of one form of the mineral (aragonite) are projected to decline enough to reduce coral growth and survival around the Pacific, with continuing declines thereafter."
Not to be too hysterical about this, if Hawai`i's coral reefs begin dissolving, the potential impacts are severe: lost habitat for reef fish, lost snorkeling opportunity, disappeared surf breaks, lost coastal protection from wave action...you can think of others.

James scores 34 but Lakers stumble, fall to Kings 125-116
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)De'Aaron Fox scored 29 points, Chimezie Metu made a clutch 3-pointer with 46.7 seconds remaining and the Sacramento Kings ended their longest losing streak of the season by beating the Los Angeles Lakers 125-116 on Wednesday night.
Harrison Barnes added 23 points and seven rebounds for the Kings, who dropped their previous five games. Tyrese Haliburton had 14 points and 10 assists.
LeBron James had 34 points, seven rebounds and six assists for the Lakers. Malik Monk scored 22.
"It was a much-needed win," Kings interim coach Alvin Gentry said. "We did a good job of attacking the paint – we ended up with 70 points in the paint. That was the difference in the game, we were able to get the ball to the basket."
The Lakers trailed by 10 but cut it to 118-116 following a layup by James. Fox came back with a 12-footer near the right elbow and, after Russell Westbrook missed a 3-pointer, Metu made his big shot from the top of the arc.
Avery Bradley missed a 3 for the Lakers, and Haliburton made a pair of free throws to finish the scoring.
The Lakers repeatedly built sizeable leads but then let them slip away. They led by six at halftime before the Kings took control in the third quarter, outscoring Los Angeles 40-23.
"We knew if we didn't put up a stand, put up a fight in the third, we would let this slip away like the previous five," Barnes said. "Tonight from start to finish we did a good job of sticking to the game plan, everyone providing energy, competing. Things that we haven't done consistently."
Sacramento didn't trail after that, sending the Lakers (21-21) to their second consecutive loss after winning four in a row.
"It's been an up-and-down season, that's why we're at .500," James said. "The third quarter tonight, their tempo was too much for us. We couldn't handle it."
Los Angeles led most of the first half.
James made four straight shots and then fed Austin Reaves, who was fouled while dunking and converted the three-point play. Reaves later made a 3-pointer that put Los Angeles ahead 51-39.
Trailing 67-53, the Kings closed the first half on an 8-0 run and then scored the first five points of the third quarter.
Fox fueled another big run later in the third when Sacramento scored 15 straight and led 92-79.
"For the second game in a row, our defense let us down," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. "We have to figure out what we're doing there and be better in that situation."
FAVORITE FOE
Monk has had some of his best games this season against the Kings. In four games versus Sacramento, Monk has put up 88 total points for a 22.0 average – 10 points better than his overall average.
PLAY OF THE GAME
After Trevor Ariza blocked a shot by Fox, James grabbed the rebound and fed the ball to Monk sprinting down the right side of the court. Monk drove toward the basket and laid the ball high off the glass for James, who was cutting through the lane and dunked.
HE SAID IT
"We knew offensively we can get whatever we want. We just have to put it in the hoop." – Haliburton.
Lakers: James has scored 31 or more in 11 of his last 12 games. . Reaves had a season-high 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting with four 3s. . Carmelo Anthony was held out because of lower back tightness. … Sekou Doumbouya was signed to a two-way contract.
Kings: Richaun Holmes has cleared the NBA's health and safety protocol and is working on his conditioning before rejoining the team. … Tristan Thompson did not play because of a non-COVID-19 illness.
Lakers: Face the Nuggets in Denver on Saturday. Los Angeles has lost seven of its last 10 in Denver.
Kings: Play the Rockets at home Friday. Houston won two of the three games between the teams last season.

El proyecto de ley de seguridad de armas de Bennie Hargrove hará a padres como Juan saucedo Senior responsables de que sus hijos utilicen una arma, si ellos no la ponen bajo llave. Esta ley, garantiza que los dueños de las armas deben proteger sus armas para que los niños o cualquier persona que no tengan autoridad tenga acceso a ellas. El proyecto lo convertiría en un delito menor y una multa de $1000 dólares si un niño consigue el arma, si el niño mata a alguien, entonces el adulto se enfrentará a un delito mayor. El fiscal del distrito del condado de Bernalillo, Raul Torres, dice que su oficina todavía está investigando para ver si los padres de Juan Saucedo Jr. aún podrían ser acusados, pero si se convierte en ley, hace mucho más fácil hacer responsables a los padres. Hay 30 estados en todo el país que tienen leyes de prevención de acceso de niños, incluyendo Texas y Colorado. Los legisladores dicen que ha sido difícil aprobar leyes como esta debido a la propiedad de armas en Nuevo México y la lucha del Gun Lobby en su contra.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – It's been on-again and off-again then back on again. The plastic bag ban in Albuquerque. City Councilor Brook Bassan wants to toss Albuquerque's plastic bag ban for good. "To me, we're adding a regressive tax to a lot of members in our community who can't afford to buy these bags," Bassan said.
The "Clean and Green Retail Ordinance" took effect at the beginning of 2020 but was quickly suspended due to the pandemic. It was reinstated last summer. Under the ordinance, businesses can offer substitutes such as paper grocery bags or other reusable bags that are more than four millimeters thick. "If they do have these reusable bags, if they don't wash them they could be causing more of a health issue for themselves and their family," Bassan said.

How to make sure your pets are taken care of after death.
One of the most forgotten assets, or even a beneficiary, in estate planning is a person's pet. Many clients have dogs and cats that are close members of the family and need a way to be taken care of after the owner passes. With a pet trust, a person may leave money to be used for the care and support of the pet.
Florida, along with most other states, currently allows individuals to create a trust with no human beneficiary. These trusts are usually drafted to take effect when the owner dies. A pet trust can be created to care for one of more animals that are living during the testator's lifetime. The trust will end when the last surviving animal dies and usually cannot include animal offspring under most trust codes.

Brothel owner gets death for murder of pimp
Selina Lum, The Straits Times
A brothel operator, who was convinced that a pimp who worked for him had stolen his money, summoned the suspected culprit to see him, intending to force a confession out of him.
Maintaining his innocence, the pimp, William Tiah Hung Wai, decided to show up despite advice from a co-worker not to go because their boss, Chan Lie Sian, might turn violent.
DUMBELL ROD
At the brothel, a lodging house at Geylang Lorong 18, Chan repeatedly struck Mr Tiah on the head with a metal dumbbell rod even as he fervently denied stealing the $6,500 until he lost consciousness. Mr Tiah died seven days later in hospital, a day short of his 36th birthday.
Yesterday, Chan, 53, was sentenced to the mandatory death penalty after he was found guilty of murder with intention to cause the victim's death between 11am and 2.30pm on Jan 14, 2014.
During his trial earlier this year, Chan, who was represented by Mr Kelvin Lim, contended that he struck the victim only twice and that the blows were accidental.
He also argued that he was intoxicated after taking sleeping pills and cough syrup.

Cabby arrested for throwing pebbles at cars

But Deputy Public Prosecutor April Phang argued that medical evidence showed Chan's attack was "vicious and relentless", indicating his intention to kill.
An autopsy found about 10 blows to the victim's head, resulting in fractures that ran all the way to the base of the skull, with fragments embedded on the victim's brain.
The DPP argued that Chan's actions after beating up the victim corroborated his guilt.
Chan warned his workers not to report the case or call for an ambulance and also told them to throw away the rod and to clean up the bloodied room.
He later lied to the police about the whereabouts of the murder weapon, leading investigators on a wild goose chase when he took them to a spot along the Kallang River, where he claimed he had tossed the rod.
Judicial Commissioner Hoo Sheau Peng rejected Chan's account and found that he had hit the victim's head at least nine times with the intention to cause death.

DCU's camogie team have progressed through the group stages of the Ashbourne Cup after recording an impressive victory over UCC in St. Clares on Wednesday last.
The two-time Purcell Cup champions defeated UCC with an impressive display on a scoreline of 4-7 to 0-7. DCU proved to be the overall better side in every area of the pitch, but it was the DCU half-back line and their midfield that was most impressive.
The DCU midfield dominated UCC from early on, and UCC failed to provide an answer for the powerful performances, coming from twice Purcell Cup All-Star Emma Brennan and the rest of the half-back line. Brennan contributed a total of 1-4 out of DCU's total from centre-back.
DCU started the game at a blistering pace, scoring 1-4 without reply, the scores coming from good build-up play in the half-back and half-forward lines. UCC were not starved of possession, but when it came to creating clear scoring chances, they lacked the time and space to cause problems as DCU's work ethic was far superior in the opening stages.
DCU's first goal came in the 15th minute when the ball was launched into the UCC square. The UCC netminder and backline failed to deal with the high ball. The ball fell to the DCU full-forward and she finished with aplomb.
UCC finally got a score on the board after their wing-forward was fouled on the DCU 45-metre line, and the free was converted by the UCC centre-forward.
UCC scored four more points without reply, two of which were frees, and another came out of UCC winning some scrappy ball in the middle of the field, breaking down the left wing and taking a fine score. UCC had clawed back DCU and found themselves only two points behind going into the final minutes of the half.
DCU stemmed the visitors' scoring when a foul in the rectangle prompted the referee to award a penalty, which was put away by centre half-back Emma Brennan. This goal left DCU five points ahead going into half time.
The second half started off nip-and-tuck with both sides notching up two scores apiece in the opening 20 minutes.
UCC broke through the DCU defence 12 minutes into the second half, but a fantastic save from the DCU goalkeeper meant the attack only resulted in a point which at the time would have cut DCU's lead down to a solitary point.
On the 20 minute mark in the second period, DCU's Lisa Carey launched another high ball into the UCC backline which they again failed to deal with, and the DCU full-forward pounced to give daylight between the sides. DCU went on to score another goal in the final minutes, putting the result beyond doubt and securing DCU's place in camogie's elite competition.
DCU will face both University of Limerick and UUJ in the Ashbourne cup group stages which will be played in January.

Q: Use specific type/assembly when calling a static method - Powershell I am using a static method:
[Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Tabular.JsonSerializer]::DeserializeDatabase($filePath)

Through my several years of supporting this code, I have learned to load the explicit assemblies, and reference the fqn like:
Add-Type -AssemblyName "Microsoft.AnalysisServices, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"

New-Object -TypeName "Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Tabular.Server, Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Tabular, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"

Because the sqlserver PowerShell module contains their own versions of the assemblies which are not compatible with the SSAS version we run, so we get into dll hell between the "localapp" versions of the module and the versions that I have explicitly loaded into GAC.
Specifically, the sqlserver module is loading Microsoft.AnalysisServices, Version=Version=18.2.2.0 and because it is not bundled with all of the TOM assemblies, is expecting the same version of Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Tabular.Json to exist in the GAC (which it does not). I can work around this by either finding the v18 version of the assemblies I need and installing them to GAC (although I have found that newer versions are not compatible with the version of SSAS I am running) or by removing the assemblies from the sqlserver modules, thus only using the assemblies I have installed in the GAC.
My question is, when I call a static method, from a static class is there a similar way for me to say which specific assembly/loaded type version/token I want to use for this specific method call in a similar way I do when I use New-Object with the fully qualified name in order to explicitly tell Powershell which assembly/type to use so that it does not try to load the newer version?

A: Good news!
It doesn't matter if a concrete type is marked static or not - the type literal syntax remains the same, and you should therefore be able to resolve the method in the correct assembly with:
[Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Tabular.JsonSerializer, Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Tabular, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91]::DeserializeDatabase($filePath)

Or:
$typeName = 'Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Tabular.JsonSerializer, Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Tabular, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91'

$($typeName -as [type])::DeserializeDatabase($filePath)

Bonus tip!
Since assembly-qualified type names can become quite long and distracting when reading through the code, you might want to store the type references needed in one or more variables:
# Create hashtable
$ASTabularV14 = @{}

# Use existing public type to obtain assembly reference and populate our hashtable
$type = [Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Tabular.JsonSerializer, Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Tabular, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91]
$publicTabularTypes = $type.Assembly.GetTypes().Where({
  $_.IsPublic -and -not $_.IsAbstract -and $_.Namespace -eq 'Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Tabular'
}).ForEach({ $ASTabularV14[$_.Name] = $_ })

Now that we have our own little "type accelarator on steroids", we can reuse it later in the script:
# ... later on in your script

$deserializedDatabase = $ASTabularV14['Serializer']::DeserializeDatabase($dbData)
$resultOfSomeServerOperation = $ASTabularV14['Server']::DoStuff()

SAMe Equals Rx Drugs in Treatment of Depression
Monday, 14 May 2018 17:26 By Janet Gulland, Contributing Writer
A recent review of the literature on S-Adenosyl-methionine (SAMe) is shedding new light on the role, efficacy, and safety of this unique compound in the treatment of depression and other neuropsychiatric disorders.
Anup Sharma, MD, PhD, and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Psychiatry considered data from 132 studies—115 clinical and 17 preclinical—and concluded that oral supplementation with SAMe, at daily doses ranging anywhere from 200 to 1,600 mg, is superior to placebo in ameliorating symptoms of depression.
In some of the studies, SAMe was equivalent in efficacy to Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs) and Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
"This review of the role of S-adenosyl-methionine in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder found encouraging evidence of efficacy and safety of SAMe as a monotherapy and as an augmentation for other antidepressants," the Penn researchers report.
In the 16 years since the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) published its systematic review of SAMe for depression, other studies have emerged. These generally support SAMe, "as efficacious for treatment of MDD and comparable to several prescription antidepressants, though comparisons against newer generation antidepressants are needed.
Sharma and colleagues note that SAMe has a more rapid speed of onset in comparison with TCAs, which can take up to two weeks to improve symptoms. This, combined with a lower burden of adverse-effects makes the supplement appealing to many patients seeking non-prescription medical alternatives.
SAMe may also be effective in combination with prescription meds in people who do not respond to the drugs alone. It appears to have particular benefit in depression associated with other medical conditions such as HIV, Parkinson's, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia. In people with these latter diseases, SAMe exerts anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
Far Beyond Placebo
Sharma and colleagues assessed 19 randomized studies comparing SAMe to placebo. Six were done between 1976 and 1988, when there were no oral forms of SAMe available. Five of the six showed that intravenous (200-400 mg/day) or intramuscular (45-50 mg/day) injections of SAMe were more effective than placebo for depression.
Enterically-coated, chemically-stable forms of SAMe for oral use emerged in the 1990s, and they quickly became the subject of clinical studies testing doses from 800-1600 mg. Twelve of the nineteen trials showed SAMe to be far more effective than placebo for attenuating symptoms (Sharma A, et al. J Clin Psychiatry. 2017: 78(6): 656-667).
Head to Head Drug Trials
There are several double-blind RCTs comparing SAMe to various tricyclics, as well as nomifesine, minprine, and escitalopram. Early trials showed parenteral SAMe (150-400 mg/day) to be as effective or superior to clomipramine, amitriptyline, and imipramine, but with fewer side effects.
Subsequently, two larger studies—each with roughly 300 patients—found intramuscular SAMe (400 mg/day) to be as effective as oral imipramine (150 mg/day) in major depression.
There are four studies, including one large trial (n=281), comparing oral SAMe (1600 mg/day) against desipramine (250 mg/day) and imipramine (140-150 mg/day). Both showed the supplement to be equivalent to the prescription drugs.
Sharma and colleagues note that in 18 controlled studies, SAMe was as effective as chlorimipramine (CMI), imipramine, and nomifensine.
One recent multi-center trial involving 189 patients compared SAMe, escitalopram, and placebo. The data showed no significant differences between the 3 arms at 12 weeks. The original authors' interpretation suggested that this was due to, "an abnormally high placebo response rate."
However, re-analysis of the data from 144 subjects enrolled at one of the two centers showed improvements in the SAMe-treated patients equivalent to what was seen in the escitalopram group, and both treatments were better than the placebo.
A second re-analysis of the same trial showed SAMe to be superior to placebo among males (n=51), but not females (n=62). Whether there is a true gender difference in responsiveness to SAMe requires validation by future studies.
A Role in Schizophrenia
In many European countries, SAMe has been used for treatment of a wide range of psychiatric conditions for over 30 years.
Several of the studies in Sharma's review suggest that SAMe can confer particular benefit as an adjunct to standard drug therapy for a subset of schizophrenic patients with low-active catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT) activity.
The authors conclude that SAMe supplementation holds promise for multiple neuropsychiatric conditions. A Cochrane review published in 2016 by Galizia and colleagues came to a similar conclusion.
Methylation & Mental Health
The benefits observed with SAMe supplementation are largely attributed to the compound's role in methylation reactions. SAMe is considered the "universal" methyl donor, and is involved in more than 100 methyltransferase reactions that regulate a wide variety of essential metabolic pathways.
SAMe was initially discovered in 1952 by Giulio Cantoni (1915-2005), an Italian-Jewish biochemist who fled fascist Italy shortly before the outbreak of World War II. Cantoni emigrated to the US, and ultimately became the director of the National Institutes of Health's Laboratory of Cellular Pharmacology. His work laid the foundations for much of what we now understand not only about SAMe, but about methylation pathways in general.
SAMe is involved in many different methylation pathways, including reactions that result in biosynthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters.
Aberrant methylation has been implicated in many different disorders, including depression and dementia. Low levels of SAMe in cerebrospinal fluid have been observed in patients with rare defects in folate and methionine metabolism. But low SAMe has also been found in people with more common conditions like depression, Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, and HIV disease.
Folate and vitamin B12 are necessary cofactors for the synthesis of SAMe. But supplementation with these two vitamins does not guarantee that SAMe levels will increase.
There's ample evidence from healthy people as well as those with neuropsychiatric conditions, that SAMe taken orally will cross the blood brain barrier, and can raise the levels in the CSF.
Big Potential, Little Risk
The Penn researchers acknowledge the limitations of their systematic review. It included a broad range of studies that differed in size, methodology, drugs and doses tested, and quality of evidence. That inherent heterogeneity limits the accuracy of the interpretations, and like most authors of metanalyses, Sharma and colleagues caution against over-enthusiastic conclusions.
That said, they are generally positive in their own assessment of SAMe's potential in treating depression and other psychiatric conditions.
It appears to reduce the symptom burden of depression as effectively as many common prescription drugs, and it may also help with a broad array of co-morbid medical conditions like hepatic disease, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and cognitive impairment.
"As is the case with many over the counter natural products, the evidence so far suggests that, compared to prescription medications, SAMe may cause fewer and less severe side effects and considerably fewer drug interactions. Moreover, SAMe may prevent or reverse side effects caused by other medications….The risks of SAMe compare quite favorably with prescription antidepressants, particularly in that it does not cause sexual dysfunction or weight gain (two of the most common causes for antidepressant discontinuation) and it is less likely to be life-threatening in patients at risk for overdosing during suicide attempts."
They add that there are no reports anywhere in the medical literature of death related to SAMe overdose.
SAMe is not a cheap supplement, ranging anywhere from $30 to $70 per month for good quality products. It is generally not covered by health insurance plans. But Sharma and colleagues note that in comparison to the high co-pays on prescription antidepressants, it might not be such a bad deal.
While they believe the supplement does have promise in the context of psychiatric care, they generally discourage depressed people from self-medicating using SAMe or any other supplements without guidance from qualified clinicians.

what I want to do is, write something in the textbox and when press to "add" button I want the text to appear on the label , and the clear button should clear label and the text box
I've ran the program and the build is succeed however when i write some text and press return button nothing happens, the virtual keyboard still stays there and text doesn't appear on the label, my codes are as follows:
in the .h file
@interface ViewController : UIViewController
@property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *label;
@property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *txtbox;
@property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *btnadd;
@property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *btnclear;

- (IBAction)btnadd:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)btnclear:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)txtbox:(id)sender;

in the .m file
@implementation ViewController
@synthesize label,txtbox,btnadd,btnclear;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}

}

- (IBAction)txtbox:(id)sender {
}
@end

I would really appreciate if someone helps, thanks in advance
P.s : what is the code to end the program if incase I add an exit button?
Thanks again,
Asim Gunduz

A: Have you linked everything correctly in your .xib/storyboard?
Read this on how to properly handle the return key.
You should not exit an app with a button. The only way to close your app should be pressing the home button.
However, you could use
exit(0);

A: the code looks fine, but you can try these tutorials,

We love to herald successful people when they are on top. We are less interested in what it takes to achieve that success, which is often brutal failure
This great piece by Tony Parson in GQ speaks to me:
When we think of these men, we think of what they became after rebooting their careers. We think of Jobs after his return to Apple and the creations that transformed our world – Jobs the supreme visionary of the digital age, standing smiling on a stage in jeans giving us our first look at the iMac, iPod, iPad, iPhone and iTunes. We think of the rebooted Steve Jobs.
And when we think of Sinatra we remember his renaissance at Capitol Records as the grand master of American song, we think of the 1956 album Songs For Swingin' Lovers!, the 1958 Come Fly With Me and the great collaborations with Nelson Riddle. All after Sinatra's reboot in his mid-thirties.
And the legend of Muhammad Ali is not about the young Louisville Lip who beat Sonny Liston, but the Ali who came back after those long years in the wilderness, the older Ali who co-starred in the "Rumble In The Jungle" and the "Thrilla In Manila". We think of Ali -rebooted as the greatest sportsman of all time.
This is chicken soup for the entrepreneurial soul.

Mohan is a trader and educator who specializes in trading the e-mini S&P 500 futures contracts and Index Options.
Mohan began his trading career in the early 1990s, trading gold and crude oil during the first Gulf War, ultimately getting hooked on trading while capturing the big uptrend in crude oil during that period. After the war, Mohan watched with fascination as money poured out of crude oil and into the S&P 500 at an astonishing rate. This was the starting point for a decade-long obsession with the S&P 500 contract, where he watched nearly every tick, every day, over an entire 10-year period.
In late 2001, Mohan posted some forecasts on a well-known trading message board over a period of three weeks, and was drafted soon after -- by popular demand -- to launch a daily advisory service. He launched DayTradersAction.com in April 2002 and rapidly grew his subscription base via word-of-mouth among professional traders, floor traders, hedge fund managers and even well-known trading authors. Since then, many beginning traders have also learned to trade using his methods in his "Daily Directional Forecast" Internet newsletter, dramatically lowering the learning curve for traders looking to enter this market.
In June 2003, Mohan joined forces with 21st Century Investor Publishing, Inc to create Mohan's Market Force "Daily Directional Forecast" , bringing his passion for trading the S&P 500 futures to a wider audience of serious traders.


NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Using a smartphone seems like child's play to many kids and parents are even letting infants use their devices, but is it a smart idea?
You may find it surprising that a growing number of babies under the age of 1 swipe away on the smartphones and tablets. That's according to a new pediatric survey a the Einstein Healthcare Network.
At just 11 months old, Elia Zuckerberg is one of those babies.
"She actually has her own iPad. She's opening the apps, pressing the home screen button, turning off her music," said mom Liz Zuckerberg.
It's easily accessible to Elia when she wants it, and she's had it since she was 5 months old.
"Like changing her diaper, the only thing that will get her refocused is giving her her iPad," said Zuckerberg.
As fun as it may be, experts warn the habit could harm a child's development.
And there's another potential issue.
"They've said that the blue light that's emitted from these devices can harm kids' eye sight," said Howard.
And while it's not a scientific study, the survey backs up a trend that children younger than ever are using smartphones.
Researchers found it surprising that one-third of babies surveyed use the devices. The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages the use of any smart device for children under the age of 2.
Zuckerberg said she knows it's probably not the best idea, but it's part of the modern world.

Benni McCarthy speaks for first time on Bafana job
By Nick Said' Cape Town - 11 August 2019
Cape Town City coach Benni McCarthy during the Absa Premiership match between Cape Town City FC and Orlando Pirates at Athlone Stadium on May 05, 2019 in Cape Town, South Africa.

Coach Benni McCarthy says he is "150 million percent" focused on his job with Cape Town City' but has left the door open for a discussion around the vacant Bafana Bafana position if approached by the South African Football Association (Safa).
McCarthy is one of the names being bandied about as a possible successor to Stuart Baxter' who quit 10 days ago after leading Bafana to the quarterfinals of the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
Gavin Hunt' Pitso Mosimane and Steve Komphela are others who appear to be in the frame' and all have considerably more experience in the dugout than McCarthy.
But the City coach's excellent start to his career' which includes two cup finals and an MTN8 win in his first couple of seasons' has made plenty sit up and take notice.
Not just that' but also the brand of football that his side are playing is eye-catching and has won over plenty of neutrals.
McCarthy said' following his team's 1-0 Absa Premiership win against Stellenbosch FC at Athlone Stadium on Saturday' that he has heard nothing official about the Bafana post and for the moment is concentrating solely on his job at City.
"There are rumours' but you know I have been in this game as a player. There were rumours that I was going to go to Manchester United and Chelsea' but if I had gotten my mind fixated on those rumours' I would have ended up losing my job where I was as a player'" McCarthy said.
Other PSL coaches who are touted for the Bafana Bafana coaching job are Gavin Hunt' Pitso Mosimane and Steve Komphela.
Image: GALLO IMAGES
"As a coach I am flattered that my name is floating around for the big jobs. It shows that myself' my [technical] team and the players are doing a great job if we are getting noticed.
"So if the time comes' my chairman [John Comitis] will let me know what is happening. But for me' I am 150 million percent focused on the project that I am involved in at City and what I am building here."
That being said' McCarthy made it clear that were he to be seriously in the frame for the Bafana post' it is something he would consider.
"I am very happy' I sweat blood for this team' the club and the players. When I am here' or anywhere' when I am on that football pitch … it is what I am born to do. There is no other way about me'" he said.
"So I am going to continue to do that until things in my life change. If that [the Bafana job] ever becomes a subject' then we will tackle it when we get there.
"Then the passion rotates – but for now' everything I have within my body goes towards this team and this club."
McCarthy is Bafana's leading scorer with 31 goals in 80 caps' including two World Cup tournaments and a runners-up medal at the 1998 Nations Cup finals. He also won the Uefa Champions League with FC Porto under Jose Mourinho.

For Sofia Dahlén it's important that the materials are attractive both for the body and the hand. The armchair Solino, made for Swedese when she was a student, is a fine example of her humanitarian design. It has a cosy interior, soft and comfortable, like an embracing pair of arms to creep inside. The exterior is more austere and hard, like a shell that protects you from the outside world.

Swiss watchdog seeks more tools to go after bad bankers - paper
Stock MarketsDec 05, 2021 05:35AM ET

ZURICH (Reuters) - The chairperson of Switzerland's financial watchdog has called for more power to punish wayward bankers after a string of scandals tarnished the sector's international reputation.
Marlene Amstad, head of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority's (FINMA) board of directors, told the SonntagsZeitung paper the agency would welcome new tools to hold bankers accountable for the mistakes they make.
While FINMA can now remove bankers who make grave errors, it lacks the kind of broader toolkit that Britain, for example, has with its Senior Manager Regime, she said in the interview.
"We cannot introduce such instruments ourselves, the legislature has to do that. Currently, there are political initiatives that address the need for action in this regard. We are interested in having as complete a toolbox as possible and are fundamentally open to new, effective instruments," she said.
Exasperation with Credit Suisse (SIX:CSGN) in particular is prompting Switzerland to rethink a system in which top bankers have been largely untouchable, Reuters reported https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/credit-suisse-scandals-prompt-switzerland-think-unthinkable-punish-bankers-2021-05-28 in May.
Credit Suisse's heavy losses from the collapse of family office Archegos and the decimation of billions of client investments backed by insolvent British financier Greensill angered regulators and triggered a rare discussion among lawmakers about fining bankers.
On other subjects, Amstad said risks from the mortgage market had risen as red-hot property prices diverged from economic fundamentals, but she said it was not up to FINMA to decide whether to reimpose the anti-cyclical capital buffers that the government has suspended amid the pandemic.
"What we can do is demand risk surcharges from individual banks if a bank takes too great a risk when granting mortgages. We use this instrument regularly, including recently," she said without giving further details.


Over time, ceilings can crumble and create an eyesore and a health hazard for you and your family. If you notice that your ceiling is in disrepair, it may be time to replace it. While you can have drywall installed, you can give your ceiling a great deal of charm by choosing to install a Tin Ceiling Long Island NY residents love. Whether your home is older or a newer construction, tin can give it a warmth that is not matched by drywall and other construction products. Installing a tin ceiling is not for the faint of heart. It can take a great deal of time and precision to make sure you new ceiling looks great and is built to last. Use the following tips to help you install your new ceiling properly.
Installing a tin ceiling is similar to installing tile. One of the first things you need to do is measure the space and find the center of the room. You will then install the first tile, and work out so the pieces you need to cut are on the sides of your room and not as noticeable to people as they enter.
The next step is to determine how you want to attach the tin to the ceiling. You can use small penny nails, or choose an easier method by using a durable, construction grade adhesive. Nails are more widely used, but can be complicated versus the ease that is offered by a liquid adhesive.
Once you have located the center and have your installation materials ready, install the first tile and work out covering the rest of the ceiling in the room. You can cut pieces using tin snips, but make sure you measure several times so you don't make a wrong cut and waste a large amount of your materials. If the look of tin excites you, but the idea of installing it creates stress and worry, don't fret. Contact Abingdon Construction Long Island NY and inquire about having your new ceiling professionally installed. They can have your project completed in as little as one day, and give your ceiling the makeover it needs. Call them today for more information and to receive your free, no-obligation quote.

ISLAND REVERSAL
First Health Back In The Pink?
by Matt Blackman
The stock took a dive around Halloween but it appears that investors may have overreacted to a make-believe ghost. Those with stronger nerve have been slowly but surely picking this one up and now the word's getting out.
Security: FHCC
In trying to lessen investor expectations, First Health CEO announced that the company's earnings would be flat in 2004 at approximately $1.55 per share in early November. But it may have been his use of the phrase "a perfect storm" in the health care business that did it: following his candor, investors ran for the hills like they'd seen, well, a ghost. The stock plunged 25% overnight, dropping from $25 to $18.45. But since then, it appears that cooler, more logical minds have prevailed and have been picking up shares that were dumped in haste, like bigger kids taking candy dropped by frightened toddlers.
Figure 1 � Daily chart of FHCC showing a panic gap on November 3 and building ascending triangle and potential island reversal. The top window shows positive divergence between the finite volume element indicator and price.
The chart pattern shows it all. After forming a cavernous gap down on November 3, the stock began runing back up again and partially filled the hole until it hit $21.15. It dropped down again on some expected profit taking twice but then on February 17, gapped up to the resistance level again forming a nascent ascending triangle supported by a re-engineered RSI (Figure 1). Positive divergence was also evident between the finite volume element indicator and price. To make it all the more attractive from a technical standpoint, the pattern also looks to be a potential island reversal with a gap desperately begging to be filled.
Fundamentals look quite healthy indeed, with a modest price-to-earnings ratio of 12.6, which is downright cheap when you consider that S&P 500 trailing-twelve-month (TTM) earnings are touching the ceiling near 40. (They were around 30 before the bear began in earnest in late 2000.) Both the quarterly revenue and income graphs show a steady growth which has got to warm the cockles of any investor's heart.
But talking about high valuations brings up another point. This stock is an interesting play if the market continues to move higher but no one really knows how high it can go before the much awaited correction comes. Even if the market begins a slow roll over, this stock could be a good defensive play longer-term.
I would like to see some slow and steady volume growth on upside price movement to show that there is continued commitment to buy this stock and a break within the next 30-40 days of the resistance at $21.15. But after that, it could be clear sailing back into the mid- to high twenties, or at least until the next big scare comes along.

Come and celebrate Easter 2016 in a wonderful quiet place Reichenau a.d. Rax, Austria.
We investigate one ryhthm every day. There will be a 3 hours unity with Trager® body work in the morning and a 5 rhythms dance unit in the evening.
The expansion of our physical presence and our love and relationship skills is the goal of this movement journey.
We enjoy the personal and special quality of a small group of maximum 24 people.
Between the morning and evening unit there is enough time to explore the wonderful area. Destinations are the Looshaus am Kreuzberg, the nearby Rax Mountain (hiking or with cable car), the World Heritage Semmeringbahn and more. For less active persons or days there is time to relax and enjoy springtime.


Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America (MTPA), in collaboration with the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), is conducting a study to identify biomarkers related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which may be helpful to measure patient response to Radicava (edaravone).
The study will be sponsored by MTPA, Radicava's seller in the U.S., and led by MGH Neurological Clinical Research Institute (NCRI).
They plan to enroll 200 patients at multiple centers across the U.S., who must be new to Radicava and complete a total of six cycles (24 weeks) of treatment. Clinical assessments and several potential ALS biomarkers will be obtained prior to and at the start of the treatment, as well as at specified points over the course of the study.
Patients will be tested for biomarkers addressing a range of ALS-associated parameters: oxidative stress (4-hydroxynonenal, 8-isoprostanes, 3-nitrotyrosine, 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine, and urate), inflammation (matrix metalloproteinase-9), nerve cell injury and death (neurofilament heavy and light chain proteins, urinary neurotrophin receptor p75), and muscle injury (creatinine).
Biomarker and disease progression results will be compared with samples stored at biorepositories and progression models, respectively.
They anticipate enrolling the first patient late this spring, and early interim analyses are planned for the end of the year.
Radicava is an ALS-specific treatment administered into the vein (intravenously). It was developed and is marketed by MTPA and, in 2017, became the first ALS therapy approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in more than 20 years.
The medicine's approval was primarily based on favorable efficacy and safety results from a pivotal Phase 3 trial (NCT01492686), which showed that a six-month treatment significantly slowed disability progression in ALS patients, compared with placebo.
Tagged biomarkers, Massachusetts General Hospital, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America, Radicava (edaravone), treatment response.
Make a shed-load of money….
Then start a study of how effective it is.
Radicava has been used for several years in the Far East with pALS.
No data coming out of there ?
Something is seriously wonky here.
I have bulbar ALS diagnosed last December , I am already on Riluzol 50 md bid .I am going to start Radicava in one month . How long I have to take and what investigations have to be done during that ?
Instead of concentrating on the things that are not working eg, muscles, why not concentrate on things that are still working and growing, such as my hair and nails which are still growing. Start looking in that direction on how they are still growing and incorporate that into looking at ways of getting the muscles working and growing.


If you want to maximize travel rewards and flexibility in how you redeem them, these credit cards are our two top picks.
Hey, travelers, or wannabe travelers: Get where you're going cheaper, upgrade flights and save on luxury lodging by getting yourself signed up for the right credit card.
There are lots of cards out there — some are hotel loyalty programs, others give you points to redeem for flights on specific airlines. But the trick is to maximize rewards and flexibility in how you redeem them. And for that, Chase Sapphire Preferred is our top pick.
Why we love it: With this card, you rake in a whopping 60,000 welcome bonus points (worth $725 toward travel when you redeem through Chase Ultimate Rewards) after spending $4,000 within the first three months of opening the account. This is really a great deal — assuming you would spend this amount on regular expenses and, importantly, pay off the balance. We're not alone in our fondness for this card, which Kiplinger Personal Finance named "Best Credit Card for Flexible Travel Redemption" in 2018.
Note: This card has an annual fee of $95.
Click here for more details and to compare this card with other offers.
Here's our second favorite card for racking up travel rewards — especially if you stay in a lot of hotels, because the rewards payout is extra high when you use it for that kind of lodging.
Why we like it: This card offers a hefty welcome bonus of 50,000 miles after spending $3,000 within the first three months with the account. You'll earn a whopping 10 miles for every dollar spent on hotels worldwide, plus 2 miles per dollar on other purchases. So long as you are paying off your card each month (since paying interest on a balance is obviously counterproductive), you can rack up serious mileage for all your adventures. This travel card was our second-favorite, but CNBC gave it their top slot.
Earn 2 miles for every dollar spent with this card, every day.
Whatever you need in a credit card — whether it's reward points, cash back or a low interest rate — you can find it with our credit card search tool. Click here to search for the plastic that best fits your needs.

A: Congratulations, you've managed to use nearly all of your swap space.
The first obvious problem here is that you went very deep into swap. This is probably what's causing the system to thrash so hard (lots of time spent in system, I/O wait and software interrupts). It looks like you killed some processes before this top output, though, so some memory was freed up.
First thing to do is to reduce the number of Apache processes that are running. You don't need that many for a small site, and it's just going to throw you deep into swap and kill your performance...which is what already happened. I would recommend you start very small and increase when it becomes necessary. An example:
StartServers            4
MinSpareServers         4
MaxSpareServers        10
MaxClients             25

This limits you to only serving 25 simultaneous requests (everyone else has to wait in line). But you are very unlikely to hit that unless your blog suddenly winds up on the front page of reddit or something. And if you expect that to happen on a regular basis, you need a bigger server and a professional sysadmin on call.

Soaring profit fails to quell Barclays investment bank debate
Lawrence White, Emma Rumney
LONDON (Reuters) - Barclays' (BARC.L) second-quarter pretax profits almost trebled in the absence of hefty payouts for legal problems but the British lender faced further questions about the role of investment banking in its strategy.
Barclays reported pretax profit of 1.9 billion pounds ($2.5 billion) for the April-June quarter, up from 659 million pounds a year ago and higher than the 1.46 billion average of analysts' estimates compiled by the bank.
The improved profitability showed years of restructuring starting to pay off for Barclays, one of the big five that dominate the banking industry in Britain.
But little improvement to income at its investment bank brought the performance of that part of the business back into focus after questions raised by activist investor Edward Bramson.
"It is the first quarter for some time with no significant litigation or conduct charges, restructuring costs, or other exceptional expenses which hit profitability," American CEO Jes Staley said in a statement.
Income in the investment bank rose just 1 percent in the first half of 2018, largely due to outperformance in the equities division, where revenues rose by 30 percent bolstered by strong sales of derivatives products.
Barclays shares initially rose on Thursday but were down 0.9 percent by 0930 GMT against a 1.7 percent fall in the broader STOXX Europe banks index .SX7P.
"If you could invest in Barclays excluding the investment bank it would be a great investment. Sadly you cannot – and it now looks like 2018 is shaping up to be another strong start followed by weak second half," analyst Edward Firth at broker KBW said.
The Barclays investment banking performance compared favorably with European peers which have struggled in recent months, but paled in comparison with U.S. peers which have reported their best revenues since 2011.
ACTIVIST PRESSURE
Staley faces a call to cut back the trading arm of the investment bank from Bramson, the New York financier who disclosed a surprise 5 percent stake in Barclays in February.
Bramson has argued in presentations to his investors that the lender should pare parts of the investment bank that do not directly serve corporate clients.
"We are in conversations with Bramson, I have met him, and we look forward to meeting him post these results, but he has not outlined what his strategy is to us," Staley told reporters on a conference call.
Barclays' core capital ratio, a key measure of financial strength, rose to 13 percent, just above analysts' average forecast of 12.9 percent.
That number had been depleted by fines and misconduct costs and was a source of concern for investors in recent months, fuelling speculation the bank might need to raise fresh capital.
The bank said it would pay an interim dividend of 2.5 pence per share, above analysts' expectations and above the 1 pence paid at the same time a year ago.

Barclays still faces a raft of problems that threaten to dent its numbers in future.
The UK's Serious Fraud Office is seeking to resurrect its prosecution of Barclays over undisclosed payments to Qatari investors, and the bank faces a host of investigations into interest rate manipulation and its conduct in foreign exchange trading.
Barclays separately announced on Thursday it is taking a minority stake in MarketInvoice, a financial technology firm which allows small businesses to borrow money secured against invoices to their customers.

Protecting Nurses During National Nurses Week
Kathleen Cancio and Pete Levine on Friday, May 10 2019 - 3:18pm
Pictured: Elizabeth Hawkins. Member-provided photo.
During National Nurses Week, we celebrate the heroes who, with skill and compassion, care for the sick. This year, we're honoring their hard work and dedication by supporting the Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act, a bill that seeks to raise the bar on safety standards and protect nurses from preventable incidents of violence at work.
Health care workers face higher risk of workplace violence than workers overall, according to a GAO study. Unfortunately, the dangers they face on the job and the sacrifices they make are often unknown to the public, even derided by some.
Elizabeth Hawkins, a registered nurse and secretary of AFSCME UNAC/UHCP, explained how the new bill would address some of those hazards.
"It's not enough to identify the red flags or the dangers that exist. There must be a plan in place to deal with these potential assaults so that they don't happen. I saw the red flags and requested assistance from security and my co-workers," said Hawkins, recalling the threats of physical violence she experienced on the job.
Nurses shouldn't have to worry about the threat of violence while caring for their patients. Their jobs are hard enough.
