Quincy was hand-chosen from our article that featured The Very Best Q Names for Boys and Girls. We'll take a closer look at it now.
Quincy is a surname that came from the place name Cuinchy which is a village in France. Cuinchy was originally derived from the Ancient Roman praenomen, or given name, Quintus which means "fifth" in Latin. Typically, Quintus was only given to the fifth born son but this isn't a necessary requirement for a modern boy named Quincy.
Perhaps the most famous bearer of this name is the sixth president of the United States, John Quincy Adams, who happened to be born in the town Quincy, Massachusetts which was named after his mother's grandfather Colonel John Quincy.
This interesting, quirky name has been in regular usage since name records were first kept in 1880 in the US. It was never all that popular until the mid 1970s. At its peak, Quincy ranked at #273 in 1977 with a total of 717 male births. Usage has now fallen to a steady 400-500 births per year. In 2014, 422 boys were named Quincy for a popularity rank of #622.
While I am featuring this name for boys, it has also been regularly used for girls since about 1913. Quincy has never ranked within the Top 1000 for girls, but it is up to #1468 in 2014 with 152 female births. It is gaining more and more usage for girls and could potentially be considered unisex and then surpass the boys, especially with the popularity of the similar name Quinn for girls these days.
Since we're focusing on the male Quincy for now, here are some ideas for sibling names and middle names:
Sibling Name Ideas:
Sisters: Charlotte, Darby, Fallon, Meghan, Olivia, Piper, Riley
Brothers: Dashiell, Finnegan, Kelvin, Neil, Owen, Sawyer, Tobias
Middle Name Ideas:
Quincy Eamon
Quincy Donovan
Quincy Jude
Quincy Logan
Quincy Samuel
As a Middle Name:
Eli Quincy
Isaac Quincy
Levi Quincy
Malcolm Quincy
Sean Quincy

Choosing Non-Matchy Twin Names That Still Go Together
Here in the US, some of the most popular twin sets include names like Matthew & Michael, Daniel & David, Hailey & Hannah or Ella & Emma. While there isn't technically anything wrong with matching names together like this, there are plenty of ways to be more creative when naming twins.
Last week, I mentioned 5 things that make twin names too matchy. Today, we'll take a look at some examples of names that would better allow twins to have their own identities than the examples from last week.
I've come up with 3 ways to ensure twins won't have overly matchy names. We will examine twin names that are linked together by meaning while still being different from one another, names that sound very different but still work together stylistically, and names that share a common sound without rhyming or being too sound-alike.
1. Linked by meaning
These names don't rhyme or sound alike but they do share a similar meaning. This is great for parents who feel the urge to make twin names matchy but don't want to rhyme or have the names start with the same letter.
Female Twins:
Aurora & Roxanne ("Dawn")
Eve & Zoey ("To Live" / Life")
Corinna & Imogen ("Maiden")
Male Twins:
Joshua & Isaiah ("God is Salvation")
Derek & Henry ("Ruler of People / Home Rule")
Matthew & Theodore ("Gift of God")
Male/Female Twins:
David & Cara ("Beloved")
Beau & Calista ("Beautiful")
Brendan & Sarah ("Prince / Princess")
Or the rare instance where the meaning of a name is also a name:
Margaret & Pearl ("Pearl")
Susannah & Lily ("Lily")
Daphne & Laurel ("Laurel")
Hannah & Grace ("Grace")
Ione & Violet ("Violet")
Erica & Heather ("Heather")
2. Very different sounds
These names may be of a similar style or origin but they do not sound the same. They do not rhyme; they might not even have any of the same letters in common. These names stand together but have their own identities.
Charlotte & Matilda
Emma & Chloe
Molly & Jessica
Daisy & Lola
Jade & Tabitha
Tyler & Brandon
Hunter & Mason
Kevin & Patrick
Oliver & Flynn
Jacob & Gideon
Cole & Brianna
Gavin & Alexandra
Jeremy & Nicole
Evan & Isabella
Benjamin & Emily
3. Complementary sounds
These names share a similar sound or two, but they are not overwhelmingly similar and they do not rhyme. Often, these sounds will be emphasized differently and the names will have different syllable counts.
Brooke & Rebecca (B & R)
Natalie & Lauren (N & L)
Ivy & Genevieve (V)
Milo & Dominic (M)
Vincent & Oliver (V)
Lewis & Maxwell (W & L)
James & Tessa (S)
Phillip & Seraphina (Ph)
Brooks & Aubrey (Br)
What do you think of this list? Whether you like or dislike the idea of making twin names overly matchy, perhaps you can share in the comments some examples of names that you appreciate on twins.
Do you have twins of your own? Do you have twin names picked out just in case? Where do you draw the line between the names being subtly linked and being too close for comfort?
When Twin Names Are Just Too Matchy
Naming a baby is an exciting process which means that naming two babies should be double the fun, right? If you happen to be expecting twins, you are now part of an elite club of parents who have the responsibility of naming two humans at once instead of one.
The rules of naming twins are a bit different. While most parents of twins feel the need to make the names match, is it necessary? You wouldn't normally make different-aged siblings match quite the same way as twins. Perhaps it is because twins tend to be paired up and associated with each other much more than regular siblings are. But do they need their names to tie them together too?
It may be appealing while they're young but as they grow up, they may want their own identities. Giving them nearly identical names (like Taylor and Tyler) might be overkill. Subtly linking the twins' names together can be a great way for them to bond while still allowing them to have their own name and their own identity apart from their womb buddy.
Let's take a look at different things make that twin names too matchy:
1. Starting with the same letter AND ending with the same letter
There is nothing wrong with picking a single letter and using it to find names for all of your kids whether they are twins, triplets or not. If you'd like their names to start with the same letter, make sure they end with different sounds. For example:
Mia & Madelyn = Not Too Matchy | Ella & Emma or Camden & Cannon = Too Matchy
2. Not varying the syllables
If you take a look at the first example above, you'll notice that the length and syllable count for Mia and Madelyn vary from one another. Ella and Emma not only start and end with the same letters, but they are the same length and syllable count too. Same with Camden and Cannon. While there are probably several twins who currently have these names, they would be considered too matchy for many parents. Syllable count isn't normally a huge offense on its own, though, unless it is combined with another offense like #1 or #3:
3. Rhyming or sharing too many of the same sounds
This is the biggest no-no of twin naming. Don't make their names rhyme. Even further, don't make their names so reminiscent of each other that they barely have any noticeable difference in sound or spelling. Here are some real life examples that unnecessarily rhyme or sound too alike:
Sarah & Farah
Miranda & Amanda
Sharon & Karen
Alaysia & Nalaysia
Tonya and Sonya
Miley & Riley
McKayla & McKenna
Jean & June
Lillian & Jillian
Kendal & Kennedy
Shayla & Kayla
Mason & Jason
Chad & Brad
Jerry & Garry
Zane & Zander
Bryan & Ryan
Dion & Diondre
Marcus & Marquise
Lyle & Kyle
Derrick & Errick
Male/Female Twins
Jerry & Cherry
Victor & Victoria
Jesse & Jessica
Dennis & Denise
Deryl and Jeryl
Diondre & Diondrea
Wesley & Leslie
Nick & Nicole
You can be more creative than that. You don't need to pick a single name and then duplicate it with minor tweaks. Choose two separate names that will give the twins their own identity. This goes for triplets, quadruplets, and octuplets too. We will explore good examples of that in the next article.
4. Using two variants of the same name:
Sometimes it isn't super obvious when two names are related. Some people genuinely don't know that Isabella comes from Elizabeth or that James and Jacob come from the same root name. They do seem like excellent twin names and can be forgiven. However, there are plenty of related names, variants, nicknames, diminutives, etc that shouldn't be used together whether it's obvious to the namer or not. For instance:
Jimmy & Jamie (both are nicknames for James)
Nicholas & Colin (Colin is a diminutive of Nicholas)
Maggie & Peggy (both are diminutives of Margaret)
Sarah & Sally (Sally is a diminutive of Sarah)
You get the idea. This is why research is so important. Unless, of course, those parents chose those related names on purpose, but I'd advise against it. What do you think?
5. Using anagrams and reversed spellings:
An anagram is when you take one name and rearrange its letters to come up with a new name. And then there's reversed names, the first twin has the forward spelling and the second twin has the backward spelling. This is admittedly very cute but also extremely matchy. Some are a little less obvious at first but once you notice it, that's all you'll see. For example:
Adeline & Daniele
Alice & Celia
Johan & Jonah
Kaleb & Blake
Brady & Darby
Neal & Lena
Reversed Spellings:
Heaven & Nevaeh
Iris & Siri
James & Semaj
Noel & Leon
Aidan & Nadia
Axel & Lexa
They're not all bad. Adeline & Daniele are so long, many people might not even notice they're anagrams. Alice & Celia and Aiden & Nadia slide under the radar and are close to being acceptable since they are legitimate names with different sounds. Then there's the unfortunate ones like the notorious Nevaeh. Can you think of more?
Next week's article will explore some real life examples of excellent twin names that are different from one another but still work well together.
Today's featured girls' name, Phoebe, is brought to you by our previous article, The Very Best P Names for Boys and Girls.
Phoebe was Latinized from the Greek name Phoibe (Φοιβη) which means "radiant or bright". It is pronounced FEE-bee. There was a Titan named Phoibe in Greek mythology who was associated with the moon. One of Saturn's moons is named Phoebe after this Titan whose granddaughter was the moon goddess Artemis. Occasionally, Phoebe is considered as a synonym for Artemis.
Biblically, the name Phoebe appears in the New Testament and refers to a female minister from Cenchrea, mentioned by the Apostle Paul in the book of Romans. Spelled Phebe, there was a shepherdess by this name in Shakespeare's As You Like It, published in 1623. The name Phoebe gained usage in England after the Protestant Reformation which ended in 1648.
In the US, the name Phoebe has been in use since records began in 1880. It has very slowly gained more and more usage. It has regularly ranked within the US Top 1000 chart since 1989.
The name Phoebe had its ups and downs through the 1990s and early 2000s so it's hard to tell whether the character from the popular TV show Friends had any affect on the usage of the name. It has generally been climbing the charts overall even before the show first aired in 1994.
It is currently more popular than ever before with 1,086 female births in the year 2014 and a rank of #298. It will probably continue slowly inching up the charts.
If you are considering this baby name, take a look at the following ideas for sibling names and middle names for Phoebe.
Sisters: Athena, Eleanor, Georgia, Hazel, Lydia, Rowena, Willa
Brothers: Adrian, Cyrus, Jonas, Lucian, Maxwell, Thomas, Weston
Phoebe Amelia
Phoebe Isobel
Phoebe Madeline
Phoebe Sophia
Phoebe Violet
Annalise Phoebe
Cordelia Phoebe
Ella Phoebe
Octavia Phoebe
Sabrina Phoebe

Is The Guilty based on a true story?
by Khaled H-B
The Guilty, a Netflix movie set in an LAPD dispatch station, is a gripping thriller. A policeman relegated to 911 calls during the night shift finds himself embroiled in the kidnapping of a woman and tries to do everything in his power to save her while being unable to leave his office. The tense narrative follows the process painstakingly, with every pitfall and victory turning into a pivotal event on which the woman's life hangs.
The movie also gives glimpses of a chaotic city where history unfolds, with police overwhelmed by raging forest fires, uprisings, and criminal follies. The central figure is also a very imperfect individual who puts a lot of his emotional baggage into the case and makes some critical mistakes in his handling of it. Unlike most thrillers, this one dramatically blurs the line between "good" and "bad" and takes on a more realistic and morally gray tone. Could The Guilty be based on a true story? We decided to find out.
No, The Guilty is not based on a true story. The movie is a remake of the critically acclaimed 2018 Danish movie of the same name, directed by Gustav Möller, who also co-wrote the screenplay for the original with Emil Nygaard Albertsen. He first got the idea for the movie after studying an actual 911 call in which he felt he could see the victim and his situation. Imagining how the situation would appear differently to different observers, he decided to make a movie based on the concept.
Möller, therefore, based his narrative on detailed soundscapes, forcing viewers to conjure up their images of what they thought was happening. Interestingly, he was also inspired by the very popular real crime podcast "Serial". The movie's taut frame, long shots, and a single character's perspective were inspired by movies like Doggy Day and Taxi Driver.
The adaptation, starring Jake Gyllenhaal as the principal character, closely follows the original, although director Antoine Fuqua and screenwriter Nic Pizzolatto added details to make the film's setting more authentic. Set amid raging California wildfires and with a subplot centered on unchecked police brutality, there are plenty of topical issues as the backdrop. In fact, despite his steadfast goal of saving the victim, Gyllenhaal's character is also a study of how the police sometimes mishandle situations. The movie ends with a case of police brutality, emphasizing the theme of the critical mistakes sometimes made by law enforcement.
However, the fact that we see things from a law enforcement officer's perspective also gives the movie a sympathetic tone. The public witnesses the high-pressure situations to which the police are subjected, in which they bring their emotional baggage and prejudices. Therefore, the central character of the movie is not so much a hero as a flawed individual who seeks to fix what he can but largely fails.
Based largely on the character of Gyllenhaal, the remake went into production after the actor approached Fuqua to direct the script in a quick 10-11 day schedule. At first skeptical, the director then let himself be drawn into the narrative and accepted the project. The lead actor also helped write the script, and the movies shot, as pictured, in one location just before an impending lockdown.
Möller's The Guilty was designed to explore a cinematic directing technique that makes audiences imagine tense situations instead of portraying them. In its remake, the movie has taken on more socially relevant and topical aspects but remains detached from any sharp social commentary. Although inspired by real-life situations, its characters and plot are fictional and are intended to represent particular aspects of reality rather than tell a true story.

Chelsea 1-2 Sunderland – Wonders Never Cease
Ahmed Osoble
on Tuesday, 22 April 2014 at 10:45am
It was Fabio Borini, who spent two years at Chelsea, who eased the title towards his parent club Liverpool. It was Gus Poyet, the scorer of that majestic scissor kick goal against Sunderland, who masterminded this sensational defeat, almost certainly kicking us out of the title race and kicking Jose Mourinho's imperious home record of 77 unbeaten into the history books. Wonders never cease.
For Mourinho's incredible record at Stamford Bridge to be ended one day was widely anticipated, but for it to have been the team at the bottom of the league to do it adds to the sense of regret. We lacked inspiration, penetration and creativity, sinful for a team so full of offensive talent. As Sunderland resisted our conservative, but assertive pressure well, defending stoically, we probed to little effect.
It was a languid performance. Our defence was uncharacteristically insecure, with Mark Schwarzer, covering for the ill Petr Cech, culpable for Connor Wickham's equalising goal, cancelling out Samuel Eto'o's opener, and Cesar Azpilicueta conceding a debatable late spot-kick, dispatched by Borini. We missed Eden Hazard – his silky trickery and turn of pace could have helped in opening up this stout Sunderland back-line.
Despite our apathetic start, we were in the ascendency after 12 minutes. Eto'o was alert and nimble, beating John O'Shea to Willian's corner delivery to finish superbly, volleying home his ninth goal of the season, all registered at home. His celebratory dance forced Mourinho into laughter, but his amusement would be short-lived.
Cech's omission and Schwarzer's inclusion was a surprise, with Cech unavailable through a viral infection. Wickham's equaliser embodied the lacklustre nature of our performance. Marcos Alonso was left unmarked at the edge of the box, and when Schwarzer spilled the Spaniard's strike, Wickham reacted first to finish calmly. His remarkable renaissance of late continued, netting to score only the second opposition goal at the Bridge in 2014.
Vito Mannone, whose error denied Sunderland three points at Manchester City on Wednesday evening, thwarted Oscar twice, one a speculative strike and the other a well-struck free-kick. Sunderland, and the Italian keeper in particular, resisted the mounting Chelsea pressure well. Branislav Ivanovic's header crashed against the crossbar. Both Nemanja Matic and Willian were excellently thwarted by Mannone before he rose to block Willian's effort and O'Shea disrupted Ramires's header at a gaping goal. Denial of a goal-scoring opportunity? Possibly.
We ramped up the pressure looking for the decisive second goal after the interval. Willian sprung forward and fed Eto'o, whose subsequent curling strike strayed tantalizingly from the goal. We appealed in vain for a penalty for perceived Sunderland shirt-pulling. Oscar's tamely-struck effort was gathered with relative ease.
Mourinho began to grow more anxious, responding to the introduction of Emmanuele Giaccherini and Jozy Altidore by bringing on Andre Schurrle and the in-form Demba Ba, whose first, and most prominent involvement, was to skew an effort horribly wide.
Sunderland resorted to cynical challenges to keep us at bay, first Lee Cattermole on Oscar and then Wes Brown on Ba, earning the former Manchester United centre-half a merited caution. Then came the decisive moment, with Borini netting from the spot as the game neared its conclusion. We hurried for an equaliser, Schurrle forcing the outstanding Mannone into a wonderful save.
Next season will be ours
The fact that we were, and still are, in contention for the title without a prolific goal-scorer, similar to those of Liverpool or Manchester City, is true testament to Jose's managerial mastery. Our profligacy this season has been hugely detrimental in our bid for the league crown and if we had the likes of Atletico's Diego Costa at our disposal, who would be a substantial upgrade on Fernando Torres, maximum points would probably have been secured at Everton, Newcastle, Stoke, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa. Next season will be ours.
Looking on the bright side
Regardless of the disappointment in losing the truly incredible home record set by Jose Mourinho, of 77 games unbeaten, the achievement itself is stellar. A unique record.
Atletico preview
Jose must somehow galvanise his players ahead of the trip to the Vincente Calderon stadium. Atletico are excelling in this season's absorbing La Liga title race, guided by the visionary Diego Simeone. They lead the Spanish league thanks to the goalkeeping heroics of Thibaut Courtois, who will most probably play on Tuesday, the creativity of Koke, so often their architect, and the lethal prowess of Diego Costa, hopefully destined for SW6 this summer.
Yet, despite their undoubted strengths, Atletico were my preferred semi-final opposition. Were we to advance past Simeone's men, Mourinho is capable of lifting aloft the Champions League in his homeland, with Lisbon being a short drive away from his hometown of Setúbal. He knows Real Madrid well, and August's Super Cup is evidence that Bayern are beatable, as we succumbed to Romelu Lukaku's unfortunate penalty woe. Pep Guardiola's team have improved during the course of the season, but so have we.
Chelsea: Schwarzer 5; Ivanovic 5, Terry 6, Cahill 6, Azpilicueta 6; Matic 5, Ramires 6; Salah 6 (Schurrle 66), Oscar 5 (Ba, 59), Willian 7; Eto'o 6 (Torres 74). Subs not used: Hilario, Luiz, Lampard, Mikel.

So no mention of the deliberate elbow in Larson's face!!!! Just choose to mentions decisions that go against you and not the ones for you, just like your manager typical…
Andrew R on 22 April, 2014 at 11:41
lazy writing – leave out the Ramires disgrace and credit O'Shea with a goal preventing intervention actually made by Larsson – myopic self-absorbed nonsense that your manager would have been proud of!
Ahmed Osoble on 22 April, 2014 at 15:40
I'm not sure if you noticed Larsson's cowardly trip on Rambo first.
WorkingClassPost on 22 April, 2014 at 11:45
So you got lucky, Ninjababy, now get over it and move on. We have.
Ayoade on 26 April, 2014 at 22:48
He did not mention the full stud on Azplicueta too which might be more than yellow card on another day.
Good point about 77 being a fantastic achievement and, on reflection, had it continued much longer it would've become a big distraction and just another source of pressure for the media to bang on about.
Just for the record, so to speak, it's much better that none of the proper red teams made the dent in Jose's CV, can you imagine the feeding frenzy if one of the bigger teams had been first to win at the Bridge? Brilliant tactician, masterclass, blah blah blah.
Probably quite fitting also, that it took an ex-Chelsea player to do what Fergy, Arsy and all the others couldn't do.
Time to start the next 77+
Yup, fully with you there. No reason why we can't go on another run, Jose is imperious at home regardless of what country/team.
Ramone on 22 April, 2014 at 23:21
I don't subscribe to 'the ref lost us the game' spiel. I felt that we took our foot off the pedal after going one up in the first half and lost the initiative. I also felt that we lost our shape in the second half chasing the winner. Losing our shape chasing the winner has happened previously this season (e.g. Cardiff at home) but has usually resulted in a goal and reversion to our usual shape. In the Cardiff game we almost conceded before scoring. In this game the gamble didn't pay off, we didn't score and it all fell apart. You can't get it right all the time.
So, just like Villa away, we should be looking at ourselves. I'm sure that's what happens in private, and I'm sure that Mourinho's post match rants are just a means to get the decisions next time around.
A.Madrid.
Solid performance. Mikel on fire as holder and central defender #3. Terry and Cahill superb. Worried about injuries and suspensions for the second leg. Willian looks knackered. 50/50 for the second leg.
Blue_MikeL on 23 April, 2014 at 18:05
Well for sure it is us who have lost the game and not ref. However, you wouldn't deny that two pens could have helped, would you?.
Ramires being shoved was a pen. Ramires elbow was a sending off. I don't think that Azpi on Altidore was a pen but in real time it was much less clear cut than in slow-mo replay. The interesting thing was that the ref was best placed to see it wasn't a pen, but he went with the decision of the lino. I guess I'm just saying that, when going for the league, we shouldn't have to rely on refs to beat Sunderland at home.
There was handball as well – outstretched arm, which is very clear pen. Ramires deserved red, but then again rightly appointed pen could have spared this outburst by Ramires.
It's never fun to lose, but to wimp out of title by hanging on to a draw would've been much worse in my book.
Losing games is like conceding goals, it only matters in the context of how many you win/score yourself and where you end up at the end of the season.
It was galling that their guy stuck his leg out so blatantly to engineer some sort of 'contact', but however bad those decisions were, they would likely have been made at Anfield anyway, because there is absolutely no way we would get a fair shake if there was a chance of installing poo as champs now that manu and gooners are goners.
Probably best to take the knock, and settle for winning back our European title.
Also. Although Schwarzer might've contributed to their first, that run out may have given him the edge when we needed him in Madrid, and I thought his catching was superb on the night. Just as well, because they do like to hump the ball into the box.
I agree, Jose is correct to prioritize the UCL. On Schwarzer, with Fabianski, I think he's the best second keeper in the Prem.
Moving on. Discussion topic #738.
What team will we put out v Liverpool ?
Schwazer, Kalas, Ivan, Cahill, Cash, Matic, Van Ginkel, Salah, Lamps, Shirley, Ba
What team will we put out v Athletico ?
Schwazer, Azpi, Ivan, Cahill, Cash, Luiz, Ramires, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Eto'o
Nailed on I reckon. And we'll win both.
We could play Mikel instead of MVG, seeing as he's suspended for the return leg and impressed v Atletico.
He might play MVG because Mikel is suspended for the return leg. MVG may be needed …..

Whatever team we put out on Sunday, José's planted the idea that it'll be his reserves, so if we lose we'll all be able to shrug our shoulders and claim that the 'Poo are only champions because we let them be.
Everyone knows how annoying this is, of course, but no one will quite be able to dismiss the idea entirely.
The man's a demented kind of genius.
Well Poo are going to be champions because Mike Dean wanted so
Can't help wondering what the reaction would be if this was in reverse, and we were threatening to put out a 'weak' side against City and poo might then suffer. Outrage and indignation for sure, and calls of foul play from all and sundry.
Of course, with the depth of our squad (and with some of our performances), it's sometimes difficult to know what constitutes a weak side, anyway.
Well, exactly: the whole "weak side" thing is a bit of a red herring, isn't it? But a very useful one.
It would be sort of fun to see Van Ginkel, Ake, Kalas all out there (as long as they didn't get slaughtered). But I suspect the "weak side" will look very much as Ramone and Ahmed suggest below.
Nevertheless, there'll be the nagging implication that if we'd played Hazard, Oscar and Willian we'd have ended up winning the league. Nonsense, of course, and yet somehow rather pleasingly convenient for annoying everyone else.
It'd be even better if we could win the CL playing exactly the same way we did last Tuesday, thus causing helpless spluttering outrage from absolutely everyone.
Just had a quick trawl to see today's lineup before heading out to watch, but nothing doing yet.
I'd be reasonably confident whoever we play within reason, given that our tactical training must be similar for the whole squad. Lots will depend on how we handle poo's initial onslaught and/or how poo handle the pressure of getting close to actually winning something.
Hoping that the negative press doesn't bother us, because a win is still a win, and the season ain't over yet.
No Cech
No Cahill
No Terry
No Luiz
No Ramires
No Oscar
No Hazard
No Willian
No Eto'o
No Torres
But Chelsea is still Winning !!!!!!
Absolutely f*cking brilliant.
Prepare for a tsunami of Scouse whingeing.
I wonder how many managers would get a performance like that out of players who know they're third choice?
We were really great!
After a cold shower and time to reflect I think we should take our hats off to Tomas Kalas.
21 years old and as cool as a cucumber. Well done to him.
I wonder if we'll see more of him next year ………………….
Superb performances all round, and pleasantly surprised by the MOTD bods who were full of praise for a job well done.
Also surprised by all the talk of time wasting, when we just seemed to be playing the game at our own pace rather than theirs; our prerogative for sure, and up to them to take their throws etc quickly if that's what they wanted to do.
I didn't see the game, but by all accounts the time-wasting was pretty blatant.
But then … As numerous people have pointed out, the 'Poo would have been in a very strong situation with a draw. And we'd have been eliminated with a draw. So what was it about? Presumably the idea was to irritate and disrupt the crowd and make the 'Poo players agitated; seems to have worked absolutely perfectly.
Part of José's genius is that not only does he inspire his own players to astonishing feats of devotion and concentration, but he also sends the oppo players into impotent frothing madness.
I browsed the papers in a library this morning and every single article I read said that ours was an eminently praiseworthy performance, and that the predictable accusations of Aunty Football were missing the point. Everyone seems to understand that 2-0 at Anfield is an excellent result, no matter how it's achieved.
I do feel a bit sorry for Gerrard though. One-club man, a proper captain, always thoughtful and graceful as an interviewee, seems like a thoroughly decent chap, and doesn't deserve to be remembered for throwing away perhaps his only chance of a league title. (The 'Poo have massively overachieved this year, they don't have a deep squad, they'll have Europe to deal with next season, and ourselves, Citeh and the hated Manc scum will all be better next year: I doubt the 'Poo will have a better chance in the near future.)
That said, you just know that there are going to be some weird results in the last couple of games.
No, not all accounts, and I'm surprised at you LTB paying any heed to what you hear about CFC.
As you rightly say what point would there be to wasting time at 0-0?
The ref had presumably been briefed, and spent as much time waving his watch in the air as our old adversary Fergie used to do.
Perhaps it was because we were so well disciplined and didn't give many excuses for him to award anything else to them, so a delay in re-starting the game was all he could get us on.
I recall one occasion when CA (I think) went to take a throw-in, and the ref was arm-waving almost before we'd reached where the ball had gone out of play, to Cesar's obvious annoyance. As he then looked for someone to receive the ball, the watch-waving became even more exaggerated.
What did the ref want us to do, throw the ball to one of their guys?
Hmm, on reflection, the answer's probably a big yes to that.
Justice was done, though, when we scored in the 3 added mins, which he duly doubled, I guess to give them a chance to even things up before the break.
Just because it would suit poo if we'd run around like headless chickens, does not mean that we had to do it. For me, it wasn't time-wasting, just keeping cool and playing at our rhythm, not theirs.
PS. Are you going soft?
Sorry for Gerard; the professional athlete who beat up a barman trying to earn a simple living?
WorkingClassPost on 1 May, 2014 at 14:42
Not sure what's occurring here, but gonna put my lunchtime to some use anyway.
Felt strangely tired yesterday, as if all the ups and downs of what has been a very mixed season, had finally got to me. I can't help but acknowledge that if that's how it has affected supporters, then how must it have affected the players who experienced the repeated euphoria of proving themselves the best that England has to offer, followed by dejection and disappointment as we then dropped points in the dopiest of games.
Thus we went into this match with no away goal, and the PL well and truly out of our own hands.
Things started OK, it was tight, but we looked secure and up for the challenge, and the goal came as no surprise, but rather than kicking on we fell further back, no doubt waiting for the tactical update at HT, but instead of going in with half the job done, we found ourselves being briefed in the Last Chance Saloon.
After the interval they looked the stronger side, determined to succeed, while we were still there, but in need of another goal to lift us. It never came.
No point dwelling on the second half. We have enough young players to learn from the experience, and I hope that some of the older ones are still around for the next opportunity.

Review: 'The People v. O.J. Simpson' goes crazy with 'A Jury in Jail'
Alan Sepinwall 03.22.16 3 years ago 26 Comments
A review of tonight's The People v. O.J. Simpson coming up just as soon as we vote on whether we're going to watch Martin or Seinfeld…
"A Jury in Jail" is something of a stylistic departure for The People v. O.J., not only focusing more on the previously-anonymous(*) jury pool, but going for a much lighter, stranger tone than earlier episodes. Not only is it borrowing heavily from the jury chapter ("Stockholm Syndrome") of Toobin's book (albeit compressing a lot of the timeline), but it's largely set at a time in the trial, after Darden's glove fiasco, when the defense seemed to be steamrolling the prosecution, and where the entire atmosphere had become more circus-like than ever. (See also Judge Ito being dismayed by a glimpse of The Dancing Itos on Jay Leno's Tonight Show, one of the weirder bits of humor – but far from the only – to spring out of this double-murder trial. He wanted to be famous, but not this way.)
(*) The show's casting department did an impressive job of filling the jury with mostly unrecognizable actors, rather than going with familiar ringers; it only adds to the sense that the jurors were extremely disconnected from the rest of what we've seen so far.
The hour astutely captures not only the racial divide among the jurors – and note that right after that argument over Martin vs. Seinfeld, we cut to "Mayor of Brentwood" O.J. demonstrating a deep and abiding love for the latter – but the way the jurors began in time to feel like prisoners of the trial themselves. There's a lot of great detail here, and also several hilariously perfect song choices, like "Another One Bites the Dust" over the montage of jurors being dismissed, or "Fight the Power" as the jurors stage a protest by wearing black to the courtroom.
While the focus is mostly on the jurors, and on the gamesmanship between Marcia and Johnnie to stack the deck after the fact as best they can, Rob Morrow finally gets to come off the bench for an entertaining sequence where Barry Scheck annihilates poor LAPD criminalist Dennis Fung in cross-examination. It's amazing how just hearing names like Scheck and Fung send me back the 20 years in time, even as the series is going into so many other places – the contentious living conditions at the sequestration hotel, or that heartfelt and painful conversation between Bob Kardashian and Kris about his new belief in O.J.'s guilt – that we knew little to nothing about back then.
A nice change of pace. It's impressive that even within the confines of this 10-episode miniseries, the creative team has been able to do so many episodes like this and "Marcia Marcia Marcia" that feel distinct from one another. Whether watched weekly or binged down the road, it feels like a more entertaining approach than if it had been made directly with streaming in mind.

London is home to a web of property investments made by companies based outside of the UK. Many of these entities are based in offshore tax havens. While some of this is for legitimate purposes, property is often held in this way to avoid tax, to conceal the identity of the investors, and to hide dubious wealth.
Since 2019 I have been making a 3D scan database of the network of property in London owned by offshore companies. I have done this using a database which was compiled and published in 2015 by the British investigative journalism magazine Private Eye. I have updated their records to reflect London's offshore property market in 2022.
My 3D scans have been made using a mobile lidar laser scanner. In a way similar to how sonar or radar works, the scanner creates 'clouds' of digital points by firing and measuring the time it takes for millions of laser beams to hit the hard surface of buildings and then bounce back to the device. It then triangulates these points together into a 3D map.
The scanner has limitations in its ability to copy accurately, however. What it can 'see' is affected by the position of the scanner (what is within the 30 meter radius of the device), its inability to penetrate hard walls and objects, the quality of its resolution, and my walking speed. As such these scans are surface level captures of these properties, based on what the scanner could capture from my position on the street as I walked past. The scans both collect visual information on these properties but also reflect our limited abilities to fully capture them and to grasp their inner chambers.
Published next to the image of each property is the ownership and purchase information. These records have been taken from from Private Eye's database and then cross referenced with the latest available 2022 data from the UK government's Land Registry service (HM Land Registry).
Future project outcomes include: a book, digital prints, and 3D laser etched glass sculptures of each scan.

Louise Stephanie Watkin  (nacida Niklasson,Estocolmo, Suecia, 13 de agosto de 1992) es una nadadora paralímpica británica. Watkin nada en la categoría S9 y representó a Gran Bretaña en los Juegos Paralímpicos de Londres 2012, en los que ganó dos medallas de plata y dos de bronce. Ganó una medalla de plata y tres de bronce en los Juegos Paralímpicos de Pekín 2008.

Carrera atlética
Se desplazó al Reino Unido en 1996. Nació con una deficiencia en las extremidades superiores, y la falta de la mano izquierda. Después de probar varios deportes y actividades cuando era niña, se decidió por la natación a la edad de 12 años.

Su primera competición importante fue el Campeonato Mundial de Durban (Sudáfrica) en 2006, y desde entonces ha competido en los Juegos Paralímpicos de Pekín 2008, el Campeonato Europeo de Reykjavik en 2009, y también el Campeonato Mundial de Natación de Corto Recorrido en Río (también en el año 2009).

En los Juegos Paralímpicos de Pekín, a pesar de tener 16 años, ganó 1 medalla de plata y 3 de bronce.

En agosto de 2012, Watkin fue clasificada como el número 1 del mundo en 50 metros libres.

También está clasificada tercera en los 100 m estilo libre, segunda en los 200 m IM, octava en los 100 m braza, y décima en los 100 m espalda.

Entre el 15 y el 21 de agosto de 2010, compitió en los Campeonatos Mundiales, en Eindhoven, Holanda, donde se convirtió en campeona mundial de 50 metros libres, superando a la plusmarquista mundial Natalie du Toit. También ganó una medalla de plata en los 200 m IM, 100 m braza, y el relevo 4 × 100 m estilo libre (34 puntos), ganó una medalla de bronce en los 100 metros libres.

Es la poseedora del récord europeo de 100 m estilo libre (1 min 03.07 ss.) y 200 IM (2 min 35.99 ss.)

Solía entrenar en el Club de Natación de la Ciudad de Salford a tiempo completo bajo el Plan de Entrenamiento Competitivo de Salford, y fue entrenada por John Stout, que fue seleccionado como entrenador del Equipo de Natación de los Juegos Paralímpicos de Gran Bretaña en los Juegos Paralímpicos de Londres 2012. Sin embargo, Louise Watkin —y su compañera de medallas Heather Frederiksen— están buscando un nuevo club después de dejar el equipo de natación de la ciudad de Salford después, según BBC Sport, de una ruptura en la relación con el entrenador John Stout.

En su primera prueba, ganó una medalla de bronce como miembro del equipo femenino de relevos de 4 x 100 metros estilo libre 34 puntos. Luego ganó la plata en los 50 metros estilo libre S9 y el bronce en los 200 metros estilo libre individuales SM9, antes de obtener una medalla de plata en el relevo medley de 4 x 100 metros femenino de 34 puntos.

Q: perquisites of the Chi-square test of independence I want to use the Chi-square test of independence to test the following two variables: Student knowledge v.s. course attendance
The null hypothesis is: student knowledge and course attendance (X and Y) are independent
Members in each student knowledge group: Low (12), average(29), high(9)
The results show that there are two degrees of freedom, the chi-square statistic is 0.20, and the p-value is 0.90, and we cannot accept the null hypothesis.

I have little doubts regarding the following two issues: the student knowledge groups have an unequal number of participants, the number of participated students in each course is fewer than 10.
My question is: does this test fit for my data?
In case, this test cannot be used for my data, what statistical test I should use instead?

A: To get the right sample size, you might need to use G-power for having a more accurate sample size.
Your data seems to meet the chi-square assumptions. But generally in each cell, you must have a value more than 5 at least 80% of the cells must have a value more than 5.

want to remove Adobe Creative Suite 6 (Design &Web Premium) so i can load it onto another. How do i do this?
You can uninstall Adobe design & web premium CS 6 from your machine.
In MAC, Go to Utilities>Adobe installer>uninstall Design & web premium CS 6.
Note:If you want to install the product on a third computer, first deactivate the software on your computer. To deactivate, choose Help > Deactivate.
I want to install my adobe creative suite 5 on my new imac, but it has nu cd-rom drive. How can I do this?
Install then enter your serial number when prompted.
I want to purchase the Adobe Creative Suite CS6 master collection (not the creative cloud) that contains Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Adobe Bridge, Dreamweaver, Flash, After effects, Adobe Premiere Pro.. etc. and I think this is the bundle that I'm looking for.
I want to know how much would it cost, and how would I purchase the Adobe cs6 softwares (from a store or online)?
I prefer to have the actual CD/DVD of the adobe cs6 bundle, would that be possible?
or do you have to download it online and get the serial number online too?
It's download only these days.

YOu are long past any upgrade cycles and need to buy a new CS6 license at full price or sign up for Creative Cloud.
I have a new macbook pro and I want to reinstall my adobe creative suite 5.5. How to process?
If you do not have the download/DVD for CS 5.5 then you may download it from the direct link: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html, enter your serial key to activate the software.
Kindly follow the very important instructions before download.
You can only have one Adobe ID per subscription unless you purchase Team Ready.
Adobe currently has a Team Ready offering for customers interested in a volume license for Creative Cloud. This is a TLP volume license to Master Collection CS6 and includes licensing for Lightroom and Muse. Customers with this will transition to Creative Cloud Team once available later in 2012. Team Ready only uses a single serial number and Adobe ID and is not the same as Creative Cloud Membership, like what is currently available for single subscribers. Team Ready is sold through Adobe authorized resellers. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please contact a local Adobe Reseller for more information.
Sorry for my poor english vocabulary. I'll do my best to explain.
I just cleared my computer (Macbook Pro 2011) and wanted to reinstall the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard Student ans Teacher Edition (Mac, English) that I bought (near october, november 2011) but my adobe account was no longer activated. Now that I reactivated it, with the same e-mail, this purchase is no longer in this account. So I was wondering:. How can I get my access back to the downloadable products that I bought?
I tried to find help with the support by web chat for 2 days already, but every time it says that chat is un available (even if it's suppose to be 24/7)... I dont know what else to do.... please help!
I don't want to upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite 6 - as I do not need all the programs, just photoshop.
Unfortunately that option is not possible.
You cannot upgrade a Creative Suite to a standalone product.
Creative Suites can only be upgrades to other Creative Suites.
You'll need to return Photoshop CS6 upgrade since you cannot use it.
I want to re-install adobe creative suite 5.5 on my mac but he don't accept my product code. The code has some letters in it and I can't type them in the boxes.
I bought a new Mac and I want to transfer my Adobe Creative Suit CS6 to it from my old one. What are the correct steps? Please note that I don't have a CD because I downloaded it via the net. It was an upgrade for the student edition. I heard something about deactivation and reactivation but I don't want to do something wrong then lose my precious software. Please help. Thanks.
You can download the software and install it using the page linked below.
You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines, so there should be no reason to deactivate it on your other machine, or at least you can wait until you see it loaded and working on the new one.
I can´t removing adobe creative suite 6. Help!!
was even installed the missing file in window and still continues to uninstall the Adobe Suite.
I want to uninstall to re-install Adobe suite.
My MacBook pro screen lights up briefly after opening the lid from a sleeping status. However the screen then turns off and the only remedy is to force a shutdown by holding down the on/off button and then restarting it.

Landmark's Beginning
In February 1933, a group of employees at Rex Chainbelt Company (later Rexnord Corporation) pooled their funds to form Rex #2 Credit Union. The goal of creating this not-for-profit financial cooperative was to provide affordable financial services to Rex Chainbelt Company employees.
The organization was run by volunteers until Joseph Woelfel was hired as the first full-time paid manager. Over the years, the credit union changed names (Chabelco Credit Union, Rexnord Credit Union) but continued to offer financial guidance along with competitive products and services.
By the time of Joseph Woelfel's retirement, our assets had grown to $2 million, with about 2,000 members. In 1973, Ron Kase was elected by our board of directors to succeed Joseph as president. He served as president for 39 years of steady growth.
In 1985, the credit union started offering financial solutions to people who lived or worked within the Greater Milwaukee area. This event prompted the name change to Landmark Credit Union to better reflect the ability to serve the community at large.
After 39 years of working with Landmark, Ron Kase retired and a new CEO was chosen. Jay Magulski was appointed as CEO in 2013 and his vision continues where Ron's left off – to continue to provide the highest level of member service to all.
In 2016, Landmark Credit Union became the first Wisconsin credit union to reach $3 billion in total assets. We also continue to remain Southeastern Wisconsin's top auto lender, and one of the top mortgage lenders.
Today Landmark has grown to over 30 branches, serving those who live and work in Southern and Northeastern Wisconsin, plus Lake and McHenry Counties in Illinois. Our goal still remains the same as it was in 1933 – to provide affordable financial services. We strive to enable our members to become financially self-sufficient and successful. In addition, we demonstrate the value and convenience of membership in Landmark Credit Union by daily fulfilling our promise, "You're worth more here."
1933 - Beginning of Rex #2 Credit Union for Rexnord employees
1937 - Joseph Woelfel was hired as the first full-time employee
1970 - Credit union moved to building outside of Rexnord
1973 - Board elected Ron Kase as the new company president
1983 - People of Milwaukee and Waukesha county became eligible for membership
1985 - Company name was changed to Landmark Credit Union
2005 - Landmark became the first Credit Union in Wisconsin to reach $1 billion in assets
2013 - Jay Magulski is appointed as Landmark's new CEO

If you have committed to getting fit, then you know that there are many different ways to go around getting in shape. It will take a lot of hard work and commitment on your part, but once you start down the path to fitness you will start looking and feeling better. One of the biggest choices that you will have to make is how and where you will be working out. It probably doesn't seem like a big choice, but there are multiple options.
The first, and probably easiest, option is working out at home. Working out at home gives you the luxury of never having to worry about leaving your house. You don't necessarily need weights either, as you can get a full body workout using only body weight movements. If you feel the need to though, you can also start to amass your own weights. They don't even have to be brand new weights, you can find used weights at on the internet or secondhand sports stores. Working out in your home is great for people that don't want to, or can't, make time to get to the gym regularly.
If working out at home isn't an option for you, then you will need to find a gym. There are plenty of gyms in big cities like San Antonio, Texas, but you need to find the one that works best for you. Some people like "big box" gyms where they can just go and work out on their own. Other people need a personal trainer in a smaller space where they can receive more one on one instruction. The choice is completely up to you, but you should feel comfortable in whatever gym you choose to go to.
Getting fit isn't always easy, but if you put some effort into it you will see results. Whether you workout at your house or in a gym, the important thing is that you stay consistent throughout!


A mystery that has befuddled Team Fortress 2 fans for quite some time has finally been solved. Consequently, an entirely new chapter in the Team Fortress 2 backstory is about to unfold.
Yesterday, Valve subtly provided clues indicating a third sibling of the Mann family and a new, "Gray" faction by including a faint splash of blood on the primary logo of the Team Fortress 2 website. Clicking on the splash sends users to a letter describing what would appear to be a third son of Zepheniah Mann, the father of Redmond and Blutarch (owners of the RED and BLU teams). Referring to the character as "Gray," Valve had not previously provided information or context to support the notion that Mann in fact had three sons rather than two…until now.
Before today, the Last Will and Testament of Zepheniah Mann had stood as the main reference to the backstory of the Team Fortress 2 RED vs. BLU feud. Mann, a wealthy Englishman, was convinced by his sons to purchase land plots in the American frontier for the purposes of weapons manufacturing. On the journey to the Americas however, Mann was quite comically stricken with multiple varieties of fevers, diseases, and even blood poisoning. Upon arrival, he realized the land was utterly useless. Dying and pissed off, Mann constructed a Last Will, leaving his entire estate and fortune to his servant Elizabeth and control of Mann & Sons Munitions Concern to his "aide and tracker," Barnabus Hale.
So how does any of this tie-in to Valve teasing a big content update with a new, third faction? The original version of Zepheniah Mann's will becomes enigmatic toward the final paragraph. After leaving his cursed land to his two sons, hoping they'd eternally fight for control of it, Mann addresses a mysterious character to which he leaves something of high-value, yet it is selectively censored by some overlaying gravel. The will reads, "Lastly, to…I leave the entirety of my…and swear you to utmost secrecy in its keeping." With the second blood splash that Valve has implemented on the TF2 logo today, fans are finally able to see the will in its completion.
It would unfortunately seem as if the opening of one dead road has lead to another. While Valve has confirmed in this newest clue that Gray is in fact the third son of Zepheniah Mann, we're certainly left with more questions than answers. What exactly is this "miracle" gravel Mann and Barnabus Hale discovered in Australia and what has become of it since being given to Elizabeth? Where was it that Gray had "resurfaced" from and why did he have such an interest in the gravel, enough to blackmail his own father? Most curious of all, how does all of this tie-in to the rumored Mann vs. Machine content update?
Chances are, Valve is far from closing the book on this on-going puzzle, and they're most likely reveling in watching us all squirm in an attempt to put it all together.

Carne wrote a regular column in the Inyo Register. I always enjoyed his editorial wit, even if I sometimes didn't agree with what he said.
Carne tragically passed away two weeks ago when he was hit by a car while cycling.
For anyone who knew Carne and his wife Debbie, a celebration of life will be held on Saturday April 20th, in Bishop, at the Tri County fairgrounds. 4:30 - 9:30.
Carne and Debbie have lived in Inyo County for the past 20 years and have been enjoying the springs for longer than that. I'm sure many of you have heard Carne playing guitar at the campfire at night over the years.

Government unveils cyber security initiatives for National Apprenticeship Week
In National Apprenticeship Week, Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude debuts initiatives for young people going into cyber security careers
Kayleigh Bateman, Computer Weekly
Published: 10 Mar 2015 9:00
Minister for the Cabinet Office Francis Maude has unveiled a selection of initiatives to encourage young people into a career in cyber security.
The government's National Cyber Security Programme – in partnership with a number of organisations – will be offering apprenticeships to boost the number of civil service cyber specialists as well as providing cyber security training in further and higher education.
A cyber strand has been added to the Civil Service Fast Track Apprenticeship Scheme government has created a framework in cyber security with the support of the Tech Partnership .
Cyber Specialist apprenticeships from the Tech Partnership aim to train young people to become Cyber Intrusion Analysts to work in Security Operations Centres. The first vacancies are expected in autumn 2015.
From September 2016 cyber security will feature in all computing and digital further education qualifications at level three and four, meaning all 16-19 year olds choosing such subjects will receive a basic grounding in cyber security.
Read more about IT apprenticeships
BT has launched a major job-creation scheme involving 700 apprenticeships and 300 graduate positions across the UK.
Nesta has invested half a million pounds into a website to help young people connect with employers and colleges to find apprenticeship schemes.
More than 10 applicants for every ICT apprenticeship as interest rises but fewer people are offered placements.
Range of educational measures
Education programmes have been developed to help further education colleges and schools highlight careers in cyber security. Also beginning next year is a mandatory cyber security element for undergraduate courses accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology. Security is already a requirement for degrees accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS), the Chartered Institute for IT.
The National Citizen Service (NCS) will now have a security option via the Cyber Security Challenge and other initiatives on the NCS Opportunity Hub . Since its 2011 launch, 130,000 young people have taken part in NCS.
Announcing the initiatives, Maude said the UK has a vibrant cyber security sector which the government wanted to help grow: "As part of this government's long-term economic plan, we want the UK to be one of the safest places to do business online.
"We need a supply of cyber security experts for the future, so we are taking a series of further steps to attract the most gifted young people to this fast-moving area of technology".
Challenging and rewarding careers
Kirstie Donnelly, UK managing director of City & Guilds said: "City & Guilds is pleased to support the government's announcement that cyber security will be an integral feature of all computing and digital vocational qualifications from 2016 onwards. As digital technology becomes more commonplace and sophisticated, the public needs to stay safe. That's why we're enabling professionals to build better, more secure systems."
Donnelly said the digital industries market is an ever-changing environment, and it will continue to evolve: "While this brings a huge range of opportunities, it also brings more risks. That's why we're so committed to helping develop the next generation of programmers, coders, network engineers and cyber security specialists. They will clearly have challenging but rewarding careers."
Janet Brown, chief executive of the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA), said: "SQA understands the importance of developing, engaging and relevant computing qualifications that will appeal to the next generation of programmers, coders, network engineers and cyber security specialists.
"Computer science is a rapidly evolving environment and the qualifications that awarding bodies develop must capture the attention of learners and demonstrate to them that computer science qualifications can provide a path to a challenging and rewarding career."
David MacKay, head of awarding body stakeholder engagement at Pearson, said: "As part of our review process for these qualifications, we are ensuring that relevant and up to date content on cyber/information security is included in the mandatory part of the specifications."

"Simply put, the Five-Leaf System is a way of measuring the eco-friendly nature of hotels.
When people go on holiday or on a business trip, they normally take into account the quality of the hotel in terms of the five-star system. The Five-Leaf System allows them also to judge the quality of the hotel from an environmental point of view.


Today's surprising warm weather (well a bit sunny) put me in mind of this old shot from Tenerife.
I love being able to see the light surrounding the desert landscape.
On a different note: Today, whilst picking up my car from near Bradgate Park, I had a surreal David Lynch moment (or was it Monty Python?). Sitting, waiting at a junction, rather than another automobile coming over the brow of the hill, a herd of rampaging cows and bulls charged down past me. I only had my iPhone and I couldn't manage to get a decent shot in time otherwise I was going to post that.


One thing about infrastructure technology: There are always new and interesting-looking tools being released that warrant investigation and, potentially, being deployed into your production environment. With Puppet already in place, trying out new technologies is generally made much easier by standing on the shoulders of others and using an existing module from the Forge. In this occasional series, I'm going to look at the state of Puppet integration with various recent technologies. If you have something in particular you'd like to see a post on, please leave a comment on this post.
What is Consul, and why should I care?
I'm going to start this series looking at Puppet and Consul. Consul is an open source tool for discovering other services on your network. It provides a simple API for registering services — for example, registering several instances of an application server — and then exposes that list via an API and via a built-in DNS server. You can also use Consul to store arbitrary key/value data, and have it automatically distributed across your data center.
Let's say you have a load balancer and you want to constantly add new web servers to the pool. How does the load balancer discover when new servers are added? Or existing ones removed? WIth Consul you can have new web servers register a service in Consul, and then the load balancer can watch for changes to that service and react accordingly.
Now let's say your application requires a Redis backend. But you want your configuration to be portable between environments, so hard-coding things to point to a specific IP address won't do. With Consul you point at an internal Consul DNS record, and have your Redis instances automatically register the right address with Consul.
The Consul module from Kyle Anderson (it's on the Puppet Approved list) is an excellent example of just how popular and useful Forge modules are. It's been downloaded more than 45,000 times and has top marks from users.
The module includes support for all the configuration options for Consul, the ability to set up the web interface, and a type for managing the built-in access control features.
Consul has a number of related applications that add additional features to the core Consul service — for example, Consul Template and Consul Alerts. Luckily for users interested in those applications, they both have modules available on the Forge too: gdhbashton/consul_template and jlondon/consul_alerts.
Once you have Consul set up, you likely want to populate the service registry. The kyleAnderson/consul module mentioned above has a few resources to do just that from within Puppet. Here we're using the consul::service defined type to register a Redis instance running on port 6379 with consul. You could imagine this snippet of Puppet code fitting alongside your service definition in your existing manifests.
Once you have services registered in Consul you'll likely want to make use of them. One simple use case might be watching Consul for changes in a particular service (for instance, adding more Redis instances on other nodes, or an existing service becoming unavailable) and triggering some action. For this, Consul supports watchers, and the Puppet module allows you to configure those in Puppet.
You might also want to use data from Consul directly in Puppet — for example, to ensure you have a monitoring check for each service registered in Consul. Puppet already has Hiera for introducing data from external sources into Puppet manifests, and luckily there is an excellent Hiera backend from Marc Cluet, lynxman/hiera_consul for just this purpose. Configuring the backend is simply a matter of providing the paths under which you want Hiera to query for information.
The module also features functions for formatting the data returned. For instance, the following code queries Consul via Hiera, and then returns a hash of all the IP addresses related to the rabbitmq service.
The above modules make it possible to use Consul and Puppet together, but that still leaves the questions of what to do and how best to do it. Luckily, the Puppet community has lots of answers here as well.
I gave a talk last year at Puppet Camp London titled Service Discovery and Configuration Management. You can look at the slides and video online. The talk covered some of the introductory material above, and also included a fully working demo of using Consul with Puppet Enterprise to automatically add nodes to, and remove nodes from, a load balancer. It's done by having Consul run Puppet on the load balancer node whenever the service registry changes.
We had another excellent Puppet Camp talk in London from Marc Cluet (who wrote the Hiera backend mentioned above). it's definitely worth checking out the slides for his talk, Service Discovery and Puppet.
Community member Lee Briggs has recently worked on using Consul to allow nodes to automatically discover new Puppet masters, and he's also set up a health check of the Puppet server in Consul.
Hopefully the above provides a good starting point for anyone looking to use Consul alongside Puppet. Using the above-mentioned modules greatly lowers the barrier to to rolling out a tool like Consul across your estate, and keeping it running and correctly configured. Thanks to all the awesome community members who have contributed to such a strong set of tools and examples for a relatively recent tool like Consul.
As mentioned at the start of this post, do let us know in the comments if you'd like to see other technologies covered in this way, and which technologies you're particularly interested in. If you have any other Consul and Puppet tips as well, please leave those in comments too.
Very useful article. I would appreciate a look at deploying a production ELK stack via Puppet.


Realme 3 has been nothing but a real success in sales not just in the online world where it went sold out immediately during flash sales on Shopee in the past couple of weeks and quickly became the fastest-selling sub-Php10K smartphone, but also in the offline world through the company's in-store sales as Realme Philippines is happy to report an overall 900% sales growth compared to the company's first offline sale last year.
This milestone was achieved on April 6 where thousands of customers who pre-ordered their Realme 3 smartphones as early as March queued up at the Realme kiosks and authorized retail stores nationwide to claim their unit and freebies. These pre-orders came with freebies worth Php1,299.
"Our stores nationwide received overflowing interest and positive feedback from pre-order customers, which results in 900 percent higher sales growth compared with our first weekend of selling alone.
