Your urbane friends are the polished, sophisticated ones: the ones with plenty of sa____-f____, or knowledge of exactly what to say and what to do in social situations.
Someone or something urbane is elegant and sophisticated, with smooth, polished manners.
1. Right before a noun, as in "an urbane thing" or "an urbane person."
Why it looks like "urban:"
"Urbane" originally described things from cities and people living in cities, rather than out in the country. Apparently talking about "urbane life," "urbane magnificence," and "urbane citizens" so often called attention to the suave, sophisticated, and well-mannered that the word "urbane" eventually took on these secondary meanings.
Talk about urbane people with urbane personalities, urbane taste(s), urbane manners, urbane behaviors, and urbane speech. An event or place might be called urbane, and something might have an urbane setting, an urbane tone, or an urbane polish.
We met one of my husband's associates in the city, at one of those urbane restaurants where they compliment you on your choice of wine.
Mac and cheese: does it transform into an urbane dish when you add bacon? Or use fancy cheese?
Look away from the screen to explain the definition in your own words. You'll know you understand what "urbane" means when you can explain it without saying "classy" or "with polished manners."
Think of someone you know who always speaks or dresses in a sophisticated way, and fill in the blanks: "(Person), an urbane (speaker/dresser), always _____."
Example: "Rachel, an urbane dresser, always wears heels. Even with jeans."
Answer: "Marriages are made in heaven," "Rome wasn't built in a day," and "The die is cast."
In a periodic sentence, the main point comes at the very end, and the rest of the sentence is a bunch of extra information that leads up to that main point. Used well, periodic sentences build suspense and interest. For example, Edward Gibbon wrote, "Unprovided with original learning, uninformed in the habits of thinking, unskilled in the arts of composition, I resolved -- to write a book." Cicero didn't say, "You'll always remain a child if you remain ignorant of what occurred before you were born." How did he express this thought instead?
2. There's a fine line between an urbane tone and _____ one, and this speech crossed it.

IMO Member State audit details now online
A new module containing information on audits carried out under the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Member State Audit Scheme has been launched on IMO's web-based information portal, GISIS (the Global Integrated Shipping Information System).
The IMO Member State Audit Scheme is intended to provide an audited Member State with a comprehensive and objective assessment of how effectively it administers and implements mandatory IMO instruments covered by the scheme. Currently voluntary, the scheme will become mandatory for all IMO Member States from 1 January 2016.
The new GISIS module has been designed as a common platform for the IMO Member State Audit Scheme, and will serve as the vehicle for the release of audit reports. Although audit reports are designed primarily for use by IMO Member States, the Member States themselves have an option to make the reports more widely available to the public through GISIS.
The IMO Council has requested Member States that have already been audited to authorize the release of any reports and associated plans for corrective action from audits carried out since the scheme began (the first audits were carried out in 2006), so that as many audit reports as possible can be made available to all Member States or to the public via the new GISIS module. Each Member State has also been invited to provide the IMO Secretariat with details of one individual designated to receive access to those audit reports that are available for Member States only.
The mandatory scheme is expected bring many benefits, such as identifying where capacity-building activities (for example, the provision of technical assistance by IMO to Member States) would have the greatest effect. Targeting of appropriate action to improve performance would be greatly improved. The Member States themselves would receive valuable feedback, intended to assist them in improving their own capacity to put the applicable instruments into practice; and generic lessons learnt from audits could be provided to all Member States so that the benefits could be widely shared.
The results of the audits could be systematically fed back into the regulatory process at IMO to help make measurable improvements in the effectiveness of the international regulatory framework of shipping.
The mandatory IMO instruments included in the scope of the scheme cover:
safety of life at sea (The 1974 Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS) 1974 and its 1988 Protocol);
prevention of pollution from ships (the MARPOL Convention);
standards of training, certification and watchkeeping for seafarers (STCW 1978);
load lines (LL 66 and its 1988 Protocol);
tonnage measurement of ships (Tonnage 1969); and
prevention of collisions at sea (COLREG 1972).

Preserving, for public benefit, land across Alaska's Kenai Peninsula with natural, recreational, or cultural values by working with willing landowners.
Donating Real Estate
Gifts through Estate Planning
Creating a Conservation Legacy
After we've moved on, the land remains. But what will it look like? Will the land we cherish on the Kenai Peninsula still support clean waterways, intact ecosystems, healthy wildlife populations, and ample outdoor recreation opportunities? Will future generations thank us for our foresight?
Estate planning enables each of us to make a lasting statement about what is ultimately important to us. Making a planned gift to Kachemak Heritage Land Trust makes the preservation of important conservation land on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula part of your legacy, and ensures that the next generation will enjoy those places with special natural, recreational, and cultural values.
Donations of land and conservation easements are the most visible type of planned gift that we receive. But there are also many other types of planned gifts that can advance KHLT's mission and be part of your conservation legacy.
A will enables you to designate all or a portion of your assets as a gift to one or more charities. Such gifts can be made through a new will or through an amendment to your existing will.
Specific Bequest or Devise of Property
You specify the exact amount of cash, property (real estate or tangible personal property), or other assets such as securities that you wish Kachemak Heritage Land Trust to receive.
Residuary Bequest or Devise
A residuary bequest allows you to leave all or a percentage of the remainder of your estate to KHLT after specific bequests, debts, taxes, and estate expenses have been paid.
Contingent Bequest or Devise
You may leave part or all of your estate to KHLT contingent on certain conditions, such as other named beneficiaries not surviving you.
EXAMPLES OF TESTAMENTARY LANGUAGE
Unrestricted Bequest
I give and bequeath to Kachemak Heritage Land Trust, a non-profit organization (Tax ID # 94-3104608), with a principal business address of 315 Klondike Ave, Homer, AK 99603, for its general purposes, the sum of ____ Dollars ($____) - OR - __% of my residuary estate.

Massive Earthquake Leaves Trail of Destruction in Nepal, But Aid is Slow to Arrive

Nepal's army chief has warned the death toll from Saturday's devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake could reach 15,000. The toll now stands at over 6,000, with almost double that number injured. Hundreds of thousands have been left homeless. Thousands of survivors slept in tents this week rather than risk returning to damaged homes susceptible to collapsing in an aftershock. The World Food Program warns 1.4 million people require emergency food assistance, and the United Nations estimates 1.3 million children are in urgent need of humanitarian aid. The quake opened massive rifts in roads and destroyed historic structures, including the 19th century Dharahara Tower in the capital Kathmandu, which was packed with sightseers when it collapsed. We go to Kathmandu to speak with Kunda Dixit, editor of the Nepali Times.
Web ExclusiveSep 21, 2017Voices from Mexico City After the Earthquake: Aid Arrived Late in Poorer Areas, Help Is Still Needed
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: Nepal's army chief has warned the death toll from Saturday's devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake could reach 15,000. The toll has topped 6,200, with almost double that number injured. It's the worst natural disaster to hit the country in more than 80 years. According to the United Nations, over half a million homes and 16,000 schools have been damaged or destroyed. At least two million people will need shelter, water, food and medicine for months to come. The quake triggered avalanches on Mount Everest, where 18 climbers were killed, including three Americans. Landslides have reportedly engulfed roads and stalled arrival of aid to remote mountain hamlets in dire need of assistance. This is earthquake survivor Shim Bahkta Kattel.
SHIM BAHKTA KATTEL: Our all properties are lost due to earthquake—our paddy, our animals, our clothes. All are lost, but our government is not providing any help to us.
AMY GOODMAN: On Tuesday, Nepali Prime Minister Sushil Koirala announced a three-day period of national mourning. Thousands of survivors slept in tents this week rather than risk returning to damaged homes susceptible to collapsing in an aftershock. The World Food Program warns 1.4 million people require emergency food assistance, and the United Nations estimates 1.3 million children are in urgent need of humanitarian aid. The quake opened massive rifts in roads and destroyed historic structures, including the 19th century Dharahara Tower in the capital Kathmandu, which was packed with sightseers when it collapsed. The UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, and its ancient temple, Vatsala Devi Temple, was also badly damaged.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: Some estimates suggest the cost of long-term reconstruction will exceed $5 billion, or around 20 percent of the country's entire GDP. Meanwhile, the Nepali government has come under criticism for its lack of disaster preparedness. Every January, Nepal marks National Earthquake Safety Day to commemorate the calamitous quake that leveled Kathmandu in 1934. This year, the Nepali Times marked the day with an editorial warning it was only a matter of time until the next "big one" hit. The editorial was called "Unnatural Disaster: Earthquakes Don't Kill People, Weak Houses and Bad Planning Do."
AMY GOODMAN: Well, for more, we go directly to the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu, where we're joined by the editor of the Nepali Times, Kunda Dixit. Today's paper has four-month-old survivor Sonit Awal on its cover. Dixit recently wrote an article for The New York Times called "A View of Kathmandu After the Earthquake." He's been tweeting about the earthquake all week. You can go to his updates on Twitter at @KundaDixit.
Kunda Dixit, welcome to Democracy Now! Talk about where you were when the earthquake hit.
KUNDA DIXIT: Well, we were on a staff retreat with our reporters up on a hilltop overlooking Kathmandu. And while we were descending, all of a sudden there was this mighty jolt. It felt as if the whole mountain had moved. And we were almost thrown off our feet. And I knew it was the big earthquake that we've all been warning about, writing about. And my eyes turned down to the city below, and we couldn't believe our eyes, as the whole city just was engulfed in this brown, yellow dust, as if there was a dust storm in it, and then the city just disappeared. And we really feared the worst. We thought Kathmandu had been completely destroyed. But as we got down to the city in the car about two or three hours later, we found out that it wasn't as bad as we expected. And the news started filtering in from the rest of the country.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: And what about the situation in the rest of the country? Was the capital the worst hit, or have all the extent of the damage in other parts of the country been assessed yet?
KUNDA DIXIT: Well, we had all been talking in, you know, apocalyptic terms about what Kathmandu would go through if there was a 8.0-magnitude earthquake. And the predictions were that 100,000 people would be killed, 300,000 injured, everything destroyed. Well, it turned out that Kathmandu came out relatively unscathed. It was definitely not as bad as we had feared. About 1,300 people are dead, but 80 percent of the buildings are standing. As you remarked, the historic core of the city has been destroyed, the cultural monuments. But those can be rebuilt.
I think what is coming through now is that we have completely underestimated what is happening in the rest of the country—up in the mountains, in these remote villages, where settlements are scattered across the Himalayas. There are these photographs and images and videos of entire villages completely destroyed, some just wiped off the map with landslides or avalanches. And tremendous need of the people there for medicines, for shelter, for food, which, you know, I think just overwhelmed a government that is politically unstable and economically weak.
AMY GOODMAN: So, talk about exactly what is happening right now in Kathmandu. UNICEF spokesperson Christophe Boulierac said up to one million children require urgent aid. This is what he said.
CHRISTOPHE BOULIERAC: We think that nearly one million children are affected by the earthquake and are in need of emergency assistance. Usually in these situations, such as in Haiti in 2010, there are lots of surgery which is required for children who are maimed, who lost a part of one leg or an arm. So these are really pathologies typical that we find during situations of earthquake that needs urgent surgery.
AMY GOODMAN: So, Kunda Dixit, can you respond to this, this horrific figure, 6,200 people dead and counting, and the, especially, impact on children right now? You talk about a weak government. What has to happen internally and outside Nepal?
KUNDA DIXIT: I think, first of all, we need to get our logistics right. To reach these settlements, there's just no other way except helicopters. The Nepal army has only five, only one of them a heavy lift helicopter. India has sent in six helicopters, but we need a hundred. You have to go almost house to house to take tents and medicines and food, because people live so spread out across the mountains. And that's the first thing, logistics. And I think it's already too late, in many cases, to get the helicopters out there. Luckily, today, we had very good weather. But for the last four or five days, it's been thunderstorms, overcast, rain, and this has actually disrupted a lot of the flights. Hopefully, from tomorrow, the weather will get better. But we need those choppers.
Secondly, I think, is coordination, coordination not just within Nepal between various government ministries and army, police, and all that, but also coordinating the interface between the foreign aid coming in and the delivery out to where it's needed the most. There are flights with—relief flights from India, China, Europe, America, Australia, all flying in. The airport is jam-packed. It's congested. Even the relief material has to wait for hours and sometimes days to get unloaded off planes. So it's a bottleneck here in Kathmandu, but then the material that they have brought is needed very, very urgently.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: Now, I wanted to ask you—you mentioned helicopters, that India has sent in six, but you have major nations around you, near you, that have huge armies that obviously would have the kind of equipment you need. And what's been the response from China, India and, as you said, Australia?
KUNDA DIXIT: Well, the response from India was very prompt. It was within—within seven and eight hours, they had already got their first jets in, because they have air force bases right across the border from us. The very next morning, the six helicopters arrived. So it was extremely prompt. And the helicopters were immediately deployed up in the mountains. China has also sent in now—by now, about 12 very large aircraft with relief material, with their rapid response teams, with their rescue teams, with search dogs. They have a lot of experience from Sichuan earthquake. So, these—this means that the people are out there digging through the rubble, trying to get out. But very soon now, in a few days, it will turn from search and rescue to relief delivery. In fact, the relief should have gone hand in hand, but somehow it has taken some time. It has been a slow start.
AMY GOODMAN: You wrote, Kunda Dixit, four months ago, before, of course, this earthquake struck, in January—the Nepali Times published an editorial titled "Unnatural Disaster: Earthquakes Don't Kill People, Weak Houses and Bad Planning Do." What was the unnatural disaster here?
KUNDA DIXIT: Well, we should be used to earthquakes, you know, like the Japanese are used to earthquakes. This is a highly seismic zone. These mountains are still rising. The Indian Plate is still pushing against the Eurasian Plate. And earthquakes happen here once every 80 years. It's documented. Kathmandu is actually destroyed every 80 or 100 years. So, we should actually be very prepared for this, and we weren't, especially as Nepal opened up to the outside world and to globalization, as new buildings were built. These are not very well designed. And I think there we really—this was a real warning that—at least to Kathmandu, that next time, when the big one strikes, we'll have a major disaster in our hands, not just 1,300, 1,400 killed, but hundreds of thousands.
But this time we actually got, despite the very high death toll, even in the mountains, we—the death toll was lower than it could have been, mainly because it was Saturday. It was just before noon. A lot of farmers were out planting crops, getting ready for the maize season. The children were not in school. And as we heard before, 1,500 schools were destroyed. Imagine if those classrooms had been full of children, if it was any other day. Luckily, it was a weekend. So, I mean, it could have been much, much worse than what we witnessed.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: Kunda Dixit, your country is listed as one of the least developed countries in the world, with a huge, also, foreign debt. What's your hope or expectation in terms of international bodies in this time of crisis for helping the country get out of its immediate calamity?
KUNDA DIXIT: Well, I think foreign help has been so prompt and so overwhelming, that I think it really is a testament to the tremendous goodwill Nepal has internationally, you know, between its two neighbors, India and China, as well as Europe and the rest of the world. I think the indebtedness is a problem. I think one way to start would be to reschedule or forgive a lot of this debt, so that we can get a head start on rebuilding. There's going to be a tremendous amount of resources needed for the reconstruction, for getting people back on their feet. Agriculture is going to be undermined. The monsoon planting, rice planting season is coming up. A lot of people have lost their seeds. A lot of people have lost homes. The prime minister has announced that every family will be entitled to $1,000 for a fatality. That's going to be peanuts, because there's just so much that families have to do to catch up and start being able to feed themselves again. And remember that a lot of these people who and families who are affected were subsistence farmers. They really don't have any savings or storage of food. They really need immediate help in terms of food, shelter and medicine.
AMY GOODMAN: What can people outside the country do to help the people of Nepal right now? Again, the overall figure we're hearing is 6,200 dead in Nepal and counting, the figure rising dramatically, over 8,000 people injured.
KUNDA DIXIT: Yeah, well, I think the immediate help has already come. I think we have got as much as we can handle for now. But I think what's much more important is help in the medium and longer term. In the medium term, it means sustained help for food and for shelter. So we're not just talking tents now. The monsoon season is coming. It's going to start raining. Maybe prefab houses, more sturdier tents, and then maybe credit for families to rebuild their houses and to start planting their crops. For this, Nepal is not really poor; it's just sometimes poorly managed. So, there is money here. A lot of our budget is unspent. It just has to be spent wisely. And whatever shortfall there is, we can always ask for help, and I'm sure it will be forthcoming from the international community.
AMY GOODMAN: And finally, the politics internally in Nepal right now, if you could give people a sense what the Nepalese government has been dealing with? I know there's one, what, big helicopter in the Nepali army. But aside from that, the politics, the internal warfare that's been going on?
KUNDA DIXIT: Yeah, well, a lot of your viewers may know that we've just come out of a 10-year conflict. It ended in 2006. It's been eight years. We've been trying to write a new constitution, to get the politics moving again, but it's been stuck because of a dispute over what kind of federalism we should have in the new constitution. And a lot of politicking there, a lot of clashes between various political parties, and the constitution-making process has been stuck now for eight years. So, we need to get over that and move ahead. Hopefully this crisis will be a catharsis so that it will shake us up and allow us to at least find a compromise solution on the constitution. We need that desperately, because without political stability, we will not have the kind of economic growth that can sustain us in the longer term, to create jobs, to have health and education, to have adequate food for everyone. So I think fixing the politics is really one of the other priorities that has to happen side by side with all the relief and the long-term rehab that needs to go.
AMY GOODMAN: How has the Maoist opposition responded to this disaster, this catastrophic event that's taken place, the earthquake?
KUNDA DIXIT: Well, actually, it looks like all the politicians have gone into hiding. In fact, there's a joke on Facebook, which has eight of our top political leaders, and the caption underneath it says, "Missing since the earthquake. Finders, please let us know." So these are our top political figures. And really, they haven't really made an appearance. They seem to be really scared that the people blame them for not providing enough adequate relief and help, and for dragging the political instability for so long, which has led to this—led to the slow response to the crisis.
AMY GOODMAN: Thank you so much. According to The Wall Street Journal, Nepal—the spokesperson for Nepal's Maoists, Dina Nath Sharma, castigated the Nepali prime minister for moving too slowly to help people affected by the quake and for showing insensitive attitude at this time of great national loss. Kunda Dixit, we thank you so much for being with us, editor of the Nepali Times, speaking to us from Kathmandu, recently wrote a piece for The New York Times called "A View of Kathmandu After the Earthquake." He is the author of several books, including Never Again Testimonies from the Nepal Conflict, 1996-2006. You can follow him on Twitter at @KundaDixit. This is Democracy Now!

The Canucks acquired Toffoli from the Kings on Feb. 17 in exchange centre Tyler Madden (who spent last season with Northeastern University), centre Tim Schaller, a second-round pick at this year's NHL Draft and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2022. Canucks GM Jim Benning made the trade after injuries to wingers Brock Boeser and Micheal Ferland.
Toffoli had 6-4-10 totals in 10 regular-season games with the Canucks and added two goals and two assists in seven playoff games during the final season of his three-year, US$13.8-million contract with a $4.6 million salary-cap hit. Toffoli missed 10 postseason games with an ankle sprain.
"Tyler brings goal-scoring abilities and is good in battles," Benning said in a statement after acquiring Toffoli from the Kings. "He has great offensive instincts and experience playing in high-pressure, meaningful games. We look forward to adding his skill and strength to the lineup."
Five of Toffoli's goals last season came on the power play, a part of the game where the Canadiens have struggled, ranking 17th in the NHL last season.
Benning had 10 expiring contracts on his postseason roster — topped by goalie Jacob Markstrom — with little salary cap wiggle room. Markstrom ended up signing a six-year, US$36-million contract with the Calgary Flames and now Toffoli has gone to the Canadiens. Benning ended up signing free-agent goalie Braden Holtby, who had been with the Washington Capitals, to a two-year, US$8.6-million deal.
The Kings selected Toffoli in the second round (47th overall) of the 2010 NHL Draft. In 525 career NHL regular-season games, the Scarborough, Ont., native has 145-155-300 totals.
Toffoli has has hit the 20-goal mark three times during his eight seasons in the NHL and scored a career-high 31 goals with the Kings in 2015-16. He was with the Kings when they won the Stanley Cup in 2014, posting 7-7-14 totals in 26 playoff games during his first full season in the NHL.
Toffoli and Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin will both hold video conferences with the Montreal media on Tuesday afternoon.

The UNIVERSAL impact vest is a kite school's dream for a flexi-fit sizing solution. High density and super soft molded foam guarantees full flotation and critical impact protection during the beginning hours of kitesurf training, or for students wishing to learn advanced jumping skills. With a soft neoprene interior and highly adjustable elastic waistband, the perfect fit is always achieved for every shape and size.


Our start-up of the week is Initiafy, a young company that creates online training apps to ensure contractors or part-time workers are skilled up quickly in order to be productive from the get-go.
"Initiafy helps companies to manage the initial steps contractors, temp staff and seasonal workers need to take to become productive, safe members of their workforce," explained Initiafy CEO and co-founder Sean Fennell.
The company, which Fennell co-founded with chief operations officer Julie Currid, in recent months raised US$1.5m in seed funding from investors including Delta Partners, ACT Venture Capital and private investor Leslie Buckley.
"We focus on mid-large size companies who use lots of contractors and temp staff. This ranges from retail to construction but includes any company that knows the challenge of inducting large numbers," Fennell said.
Fennell started Initiafy with his business partner Julie Currid in April 2012.
"I have a background in the construction industry and Julie worked in marketing within the manufacturing and retail verticals. Before starting Initiafy we knew we worked well as a team, which has been massively important to the success of the company.
Before a new starter begins working for a new company they are required to be registered and then initiated on the HR, safety and corporate policies of the company.
They may also be required to submit training records or other documents. Initiafy is an online tool which allows companies to automate this task online.
The platform is white label and customers can create online forms, share documents, build custom training, testing and interactive material. The new-starter 'self-initiates' in their own time using any device and arrives for work with the confidence and knowledge to get started straight away.
"Our customers save time, resources and significantly increase corporate compliance," Fennell explained.
"We operate in a very niche space, which we believe is quite valuable. Our aim is to be the 'go-to' provider for onboarding contractors and temporary employees.
Fennell said that Initiafy is growing fast. This year the company will see growth of 400pc to 500pc and it is adding two to three employees every month.
"The US is definitely a big market for us, we opened an office in New York in November 2014 and Q1 saw the US generate more than 50pc of our revenue.
Fennell pointed out that as an island nation Irish entrepreneurs are open-minded and travel a lot, which lends itself to building export-driven businesses.
"Enterprise Ireland play a part in almost all software companies in Ireland. The support levels for early-stage tech companies are fantastic and go way beyond funding. EI have supported us with introductions to key contacts, ongoing learning opportunities and research resources.
Fennell also pointed out that a start-up stands a better chance of success if led by partners rather than individuals.
"Get a partner – teams are much more likely to succeed than individual founders.
"Building software has become so fast and inexpensive that most investors now want to see user traction. Nothing is more important than getting those early stage customers, ideally revenue generating. You need to get over the fear of releasing too early and get your product out there with 'real life' users.
"Only a tiny fraction of companies get lucky enough to generate revenue without picking up the phone or knocking on doors. Get out of the building – if you're an entrepreneur, selling your product is what business is all about.
"Build a relationship with Enterprise Ireland as early as possible, the support they offer is amazing," Fennell recommends.

Q: Configuration in WAR I have a context.xml in Tomcat:
<Resource name="datasource/sconfiguration" auth="Container" connectionString=...

And I am able to get my object filled like:
MyConfiguration sc = (MyConfiguration) envCtx.lookup("datasource/sconfiguration");

Now I want to use my WAR in Glassfish 4.1... and it seem it doesn't work:
javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup failed for 'datasource/sconfiguration' in SerialContext[myEnv={java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.enterpr ....

It seems quite weird to have a WAR for a specific app server. How can I make this WAR valid for any WAS? It seems Glassfish can use context.xml but many people say it can't.

A: Administrative stuff is not part of the standard WAR.  To be honest, it's always the hardest part in porting between application servers.
In Tomcat you can define JNDI datasources in the context.xml as you've seen.  I've long since abandoned Glassfish but I know that there is a fairly complete UI to define data sources.  Other application servers like WildFly have both a UI and a CLI to define things like data sources (and Glassfish may have that too).
Why is this you ask?  Because each application server is allowed to augment areas such as database connection pooling.  Tomcat has recently decided to get rid of commons DBCP pooling in favor of an internal pool.  Because of these differences, each application server defines a bit of a different way to configure JDBC connections and datasources.
To manage this you'll need setup scripts / pre-configured config files for each of the application servers you intend to target.  An end user will need to use what is appropriate for their environment.

'Discovered' by tourists in recent years, Porto is welcoming records numbers of visitors and experiencing soaring rental and property prices. Sebastian Shehadi reports.
Porto has become one of Europe's most acclaimed holiday destinations, winning the prestigious European Best Destination award in 2012, 2014 and 2017 from the European Best Destinations organisation. Meanwhile, international tourist arrivals into Portugal have been growing consistently since 2009, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council.
Porto's tourism and real estate markets have blossomed over the past five years, running hand in hand with Portugal's economic recovery. However, other factors have been at work.
"Porto has changed a lot since 2015. The city is benefiting from the digital revolution. It's changing the relationship Porto has with tourism and real estate, in terms of new work opportunities, global markets, new sectors, etc," says Ricardo Guimarães, director of Confidencial Imobiliário magazine, a Portuguese real estate data provider.
For example, peer-to-peer networks such as Airbnb have been assimilated into Porto, thereby internationalising the city and simplifying the hotel industry for guests and landlords. The 'digital revolution' has also coincided with the rapid increase in low-cost flights across Europe, consolidating Porto as a short-stay tourist market.
However, Portugal's fundamentals also work in Porto's favour: a hot climate, a rich culture, a low cost of living, acclaimed gastronomy, very low crime rates and political stability and economic recovery. Portugal has also benefited from political or social instability in other European or nearby countries, such as Turkey and Tunisia, boosting its appeal to risk-averse tourists and investors alike.
Record numbers
Porto received 2.8 million overnight stays and 1.4 million visitors between January and November 2017, of which 73% were foreign tourists, according to local IPA InvestPorto.
Considering the city's small population, Porto saw a higher ratio of tourists to residents than hotspots such as Barcelona and Prague in 2017, according to Porto's Institute for Tourism Planning and Development.
Many parts of Portugal have experienced a downturn in tourism, especially in the south. However, northern Portugal, where Porto is situated, was the only part of the country to witness double-digit growth in 2018, in terms of tourism revenues, rising at more than 11% annually, according to Ricardo Valente, Porto's minister of economy, tourism and commerce.
"We have a state-of-the-art airport with the ability to grow by more than 60% from the current level. We reached close to 12 million passengers in 2018, and we are easily able to grow to 20 million," he adds.
The city is very much the gateway to Portugal's northern region as well as the northern and western areas of Spain. Within a two-hour drive of Porto's airport there are four Unesco World Heritage sites and popular Spanish tourist hotspots such as Santiago de Compostela.
Unprecedented price rises
Porto had the highest growth in revenue per available room in Europe in 2018, according to a PwC report.
"We've never seen [rental] prices like this in central Porto. Some locals think it's crazy, a bubble, things must go down. But they're viewing the market with the same pre-crisis model, before Porto's tourism boom that is now capitalising its short-term tourism potential", says Mr Guimarães.
House prices in Porto's historic centre have more than doubled since 2014, albeit from a low starting point, according to Confidencial Imobiliário's house price index. For years leading up to 2011, house prices were experiencing negative growth, after which there was a flurry of public spending in the Porto Vivo regeneration programme.
There has been significantly more public and private investment in more recent years in Porto, as shown by the quality of public spaces and cultural programmes on offer in the city, the number of hotels – including luxury accommodation – and Airbnb venues, most of which are new refurbishments, according to Mr Guimarães.
On the other hand, house prices in Porto city as a whole only began recovering in 2016, and at a modest but accelerating pace, according to Confidencial Imobiliário.
Within Porto's real estate market, hotels and residential properties have been the main targets for investment, both foreign and local. A lot of foreign investment has gone into regenerating Porto's historic centre, and many of these buildings are now being utilised as Airbnb lodgings, according to Rui Coutinho, executive director of the Center for Business Innovation at Porto Business School.
In other words, investments in Porto have focused on the rental market, be it for tourists or the 72,000 students in higher education in the city. Indeed, Porto has developed more than 7000 new housing units over the past few years, three-quarters of which are one-bedroom homes, according to Mr Guimarães.
"Tax incentives on urban regeneration in designated regions within the centre of Porto have led, over the past five years, to an attractive environment for local and international investors willing to invest in real estate for short-stay accommodation", says Peter Holden, group development director at Round Hill Capital, a UK-headquartered global real estate investment and asset management firm that put €100m in a mixed-used regeneration project in Porto in 2018 for student and residential housing.
Round Hill sees significant opportunities in these sectors due to the persisting supply/demand fundamentals for student housing, as well as much-needed high-quality new homes, adds Mr Holden.
However, Portugal's rental market is facing legal changes that restrict landlords' powers. "We now have to rent for a minimum length of time of one year. This makes no sense for student residents who might only need nine months. One-year contracts will also be [automatically renewed for three years,] so you might be stuck with your tenant. We feel this is a huge political mistake," says Mr Valente.
Although Porto's city centre still offers plenty of regeneration opportunities, the local government intends to build more projects outside the centre, with private sector assistance – be it affordable housing or public buildings – with the city's neglected eastern district being a particular area of focus, according to Pedro Baganha, Porto's minister for urban planning.
The €100m Round Hill development was one of the most significant foreign investments in Porto in 2018, due to its location and the size of the investment, says Mr Valente.
"It really was a game-changer for how people look at the city. We've seen a lot of investment in the centre but no one thought we'd receive a €100m investment outside of [the city centre]," he adds.
Porto's office space is also in demand. Five years ago, vacancy rates in the central business district were about 20% to 25%, according to Dr Tiago Violas Ferreira, CEO of Violas Ferreira, a Portuguese real estate company. Today they hover around the 3% to 4% mark.
"Over the past two years, we've [seen a huge growth in the] development of offices buildings. With a pipeline of more companies coming to the city, we think there is a huge opportunity," says Mr Valente.
Considering Europe's ageing population, another opportunity within Porto's real estate market lies in housing for the elderly. The city already has a history of accommodating retired foreign buyers, especially from Scandinavia, many of whom were attracted to Porto by its high-quality healthcare system.
Porto's popularity is making the city stand out on a global scale. An increasing number of London-based and US firms have invested in Porto since 2016, such as Lone Star and Apollo, as well as wealthy individuals from Brazil, China, Germany, Israel and South Africa, suggesting that the city's appeal to investors still has some distance to go.

The 2018 - 2019 marks the 50th year that the Golden Girls have been performing for Conroe High School! Co-Directors Macy Lopez and Victoria Woods would like to reach out to Golden Girls Alumnae going all the way back to 1969!
Please fill out this short survey. We can't wait to see you!
The history of the Golden Girls is a great one. The Golden Girls Dance/Drill Team was established in 1969 by Mr. J.L. McCullough. The Golden Girls were named after Mr. McCullough's Alma Mater, the LSU Tigers and Golden Girls Dance Team. Under the direction of Ms. Cynthia Gibson, 35 young ladies became the original Golden Girls that year. The team has continued their tradition of excellence through performance, competitions, community service, and the support of other CHS activities.
To develop good sportsmanship, self-confidence, and self-discipline.
To encourage high morals and standards among its members.
To develop the ability to work as a part of a group in achieving common goals; TEAMWORK.
To represent the school and community in an exemplary manner, serve as a role model for appropriate behavior and citizenship.
To develop and maintain a very high standard of precision dance.
Being a Golden Girl means being part of a family. For many girls, this is their first opportunity to share a common bond and a close relationship with others. Learning what it means to work very closely with other girls and sharing in accomplishments and frustrations are all part of the sisterhood of Golden Girls. To be chosen as a Golden Girl is an HONOR! Being a Golden Girl means being a member of a team; a team that works together, dances together, and is TOGETHER!
The Golden Girls organization is a proud group. Not only do they provide service to their school with the support of the faculty, administration, and other groups on campus, but they also provide a service to the community. Golden Girls are ready to help when needed. The Golden Girls organization provides a real opportunity for a young lady to exert initiative, leadership, and creativity. Performing before an audience helps each young lady develop self-assurance and poise. The opportunities to grow, learn, and lead that are received through the Golden Girls organization can ease the transition from adolescence into adulthood.
Pride and dedication to the Conroe High School Golden Girls is required of all girls who make the team. Participation in this organization is the highlight of the high school years for many girls. There will be many good times, some glory and recognition, but a member must make sacrifices. It is important that each team member understands that membership is a privilege, and not a right.
Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Therefore, give yourself fully to your endeavors.
Decide to construct your character through excellent actions and determine to pay the price of a worthy goal.
The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths.
Remain steadfast…and one day you will build something that endures; something worthy of your potential.

Stefan Daniel
Stefan Daniel has come back with authority.
Since winning his home World Para Triathlon Series in Edmonton last July, the Rio 2016 Paralympic silver medallist has been unstoppable in the men's PTS5. He went on to win the Grand Final last September in Gold Coast, Australia, and has looked in top form for a repeat in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The Canadian has also been competing in able-bodied events since Rio 2016, which appears to have matured his racing, especially as one of the youngest competitors at the Rio 2016 Paralympics. There he took silver behind Germany's Martin Schulz at age 19.
That accomplishment was just a sign of what was to come.
Daniel stunned the triathlon world at the 2015 Para Triathlon World Championships after taking down Schulz in Chicago, USA.
Then 18, Daniel completed the course in 59:27, 30 seconds quicker than Schulz, who had not lost a Para triathlon race in nearly two years in the then-PT4 category*.
With the victory, Daniel secured a spot for his country at Rio 2016, where triathlon made its Paralympic debut.
Before, he first competed nationally and internationally in swimming at 12 years old. In 2013, he decided to train solely in triathlon with aims for Rio 2016.
Daniel was born with bilateral radial club hands. He took part in his first Para triathlon world championships in 2013 and a won bronze medal.

CENTRAL POINT, Ore. — After an extraordinarily long wet season, the sun broke through an overcast sky May 20 as more than 1,000 gathered for the groundbreaking of the Medford Oregon Temple.
The temple, which will be built adjacent the Central Point Oregon Stake center, 35 miles north of the California border, will contain 10,700 square feet and include a baptistry, two endowment rooms, two sealing rooms and the celestial room.
"This new temple is now another ensign to the restoration of the gospel," Elder D. Lee Tobler of the Seventy and first counselor in the North America Northwest Area presidency, said in remarks during the groundbreaking services. "It is an ensign not only for you, but it is an ensign for your neighbors. It is an ensign for all."
Elder Tobler said the temple will not be built just for the members of today, but also for the members of tomorrow and the families of yesteryears.
As part of the service, Elder Tobler dedicated the site and then joined with Elder Michael T. Robinson, an Area Authority Seventy, and Central Point Mayor Bill Walton in turning the first ceremonial shovelfuls of soil. Elder Tobler then invited children to take a turn with a shovel.
In his brief remarks, Elder Robinson, who was the first president of the Central Point stake, said he has reflected many times to when the groundbreaking was held for the Central Point stake center. "I've wondered how many of us who were there even had an inkling of an idea that the Lord would see fit to build a temple here. I can tell you that I didn't. But I want you to understand that Heavenly Father knew and that this land was planned to hold a temple."
More than 28,000 members in six stakes in southern Oregon and three stakes in northern California are in the Medford temple district.

The Reality Gun
By David Stewart
I woke up in what looked like a lab. Which was weird, since I'd fallen asleep on my couch watching reruns of the X-Files. A young woman bent over me and smiled brightly.
"Good morning, Mr. Churchwater."
"Where am I?" I asked.
"You're in a secure location." That was a bad sign.
"How do you know my name?"
"Everyone knows the name Gregory Churchwater," the woman said. "You're the most famous hostage negotiator in the world."
I smiled to myself. Heck yeah, I was. Time Magazine had named me their Negotiator of the Year three years in a row.
"The thing is, Mr. Churchwater, you're too valuable a negotiator to waste your time with bank robbery standoffs and small time stuff like that. So we decided to kidnap you and freeze you cryogenically until a really big threat came along that no one else could handle."
I was still trying to get my bearings and understand fully what she was saying. "You mean the government kidnapped me?"
"All of them," she said. "Well, at least 183 of them. They formed the PCP: Protect Churchwater Pact, just for that purpose"
"You could have just asked me instead of kidnapping me."
"Oh, you know you would have talked us out of it," she chided, with a you-should-know-better smile.
I sat up, my head spinning. The room was all white and Star-Trekky. "The last thing I remember, it was May 6, 2018. You mean I'm in the future now?"
"Yes, you are. We have a huge crisis that is threatening the universe in a fundamental way." Her smile never changed as she said this and I wondered if she was an android.
"What is the date today?" I asked. To think, all my family and friends could be dead now.
"It's June 20, 2018," she said. "Frankly, if we'd known, we wouldn't have bothered kidnapping and freezing you. But that's hindsight for you. Now, Dr. Grimsword will tell you about the threat."
A young man in jeans and a T-shirt walked in. He saw me staring at his clothes and glanced down. "Casual Friday," he said, apologetically. "If I'd known, I'd have worn a tie. But that's super-villains for you."
"Super-villains?"
"That's why we woke you," he said. "There's a scientist named Igor Paintspackle Wong who's holding the whole world ransom. He has built . . . a reality gun."
This is not a reality gun but it came up when I did a Google Image search. It is apparently the scariest MRI in the world.
Dr. Grimsword stopped with dramatic effect. "Which means," I said slowly. "That it's real?"
"No, it's a gun that destroys fundamental aspects of reality. To demonstrate it, he blew up 5+3=8. We're not sure how he did it, but now, 5+3 just comes back as an error. On a computer, on paper, even on your fingers, doesn't matter. Just try it."
I held up my hands, five fingers and three. "Damn," I said mildly. "That's really weird. I've never seen an error on my fingers before."
"Hawking is working on fixing it. In the meantime, just switch hands. He didn't mess with the communicative property."
I switched hands, three fingers and five and sighed with relief. "So, where is this guy now?"
"He's in a coffee shop in London," Grimsword said. "Now he's threatening to destroy the concept of beauty."
"That's pretty fundamental," I said. Being groggy made me say obvious things. "So, we'd think beautiful people looked ugly or something?"
"No, we wouldn't even know what beauty was," Grimsword said. "As you can imagine, the film and modeling industries are in a panic. The only group supporting it is UGGO, the Unattractive Girls and Guys Organization, although we suspect they're only doing it for the free publicity."
"Alright," I said. "Get me a cup of coffee and get this guy on the phone."
A few minutes later, the phone was ringing and I was slurping a little life-giving caffeine into my mouth.
"Hey, is this Mr. Wong? This is Gregory Churchwater."
"Oh, it's you," he said. "I was wondering if you were going to call. Don't even try to talk me out of it."
"Wouldn't dream of it," I said. "Sense of beauty? Who needs it? Fire away, I say." I saw Dr. Grimsword give me a look of alarm, but I had a brutally effective reverse psychology. I once told a terrorist that if he didn't kill every hostage he had in five seconds, I was going to shoot them for him. He gave himself up three seconds later.
"Don't you want to know my demands?" Igor Paintspackle Wong asked.
I sighed. "Fine. Get it over with."
"I want to win a Nobel Prize," he said. "I have been nominated for an award six years in a row and never won. Do you know what that's like, to always be a nominee and never a winner."
"Here's the problem with that," I said, stopping to take another sip of that glorious coffee. "If we give you a Nobel Prize now, it sets a bad precedent. What's to stop some other mad scientist next year—"
"What did you call me?"
"What? You sound angry to me and you're a scientist, so you're a scientist who's mad, right? Anyway, as I was saying, other mad scientists will get the idea it's okay to hold the world hostage to get an award."
"Well, then kiss beauty good-bye," Wong said. "And it won't stop there. Every day until I get my Nobel Prize, something else goes. Tomorrow it's the concept of humor, then fashion, then justice, then pi, then being on time, then—"
"Yeah, I think I got the picture," I said. "Listen, I hesitate to do this, but I think there's something else I could interest you in. There's another prize, much more exclusive than the Nobel Prizes, called the I.G. Nobel Prizes. The I.G. stands for "Intense Genius", by the way. They don't even award them every year, it's that exclusive. I think you could win one for this reality gun of yours, if nothing else."
There was a pause. "You really think so?"
"Oh, I know so," I said. "You're more than qualified. Look, let's do this: you go get yourself another cappuccino and I'll contact the Ig Nobel Prize people and see what we can set up, okay?"
"Okay, sounds good," Wong said. "You know, I thought you were going to be mean, but you're really nice."
"Yep, that's me," I said, then hung up the phone. I turned to Dr. Grimsword. "Now, you get a contract agreeing never to kidnap me again or I'll call him right back and tell him what the Ig Nobel Prizes really are."
He nodded in defeat and left. "And get me another coffee!" I shouted.

You had me at the X-files! Ha ha. This is wildly entertaining. He got rid of 5+3. That would cause havoc all by itself.

This looks like a piece of cake to Mr. Churchwater. All he is really interested in is the coffee.

Daughter of slain prosecutor denies claiming men executed for father's murder were innocent
Ahram Online , Wednesday 20 Feb 2019
A file photo of Egypt's late prosecutor general Hisham Barakat (Photo:Al-Ahram)
Egypt's efforts in fighting terrorism continues
Egypt's Armed Forces kill 8 terrorists in North Sinai: Statement
Egypt's PM opens regional conference on terrorism
Nine executed in Egypt over assassination of prosecutor-general in 2015
The daughter of Egypt's late chief prosecutor Hisham Barakat, who was killed in a 2015 bomb attack, has denied claiming that those executed over the killing were innocent.
Barakat's daughter, Marwa, said on Wednesday afternoon that her official Facebook account had been hacked, hours after a post shared from her account said that those executed earlier on Wednesday had been unfairly convicted.
"Yesterday, my account was subjected to a systematic hacking by terrorist groups," Marwa posted in the early afternoon on Wednesday. A prosecutor herself, she said the action was meant to "deceive the public opinion and stir confusion."
Egyptian authorities executed nine men convicted over the killing of Barakat Wednesday morning.
The men were among a group of 28 defendants who were sentenced to death in the case in 2017.
During the trial, some of the defendants said they were forcibly disappeared and that confessions they had made were extracted under torture.
Later in the day, Marwa posted: "Thank God the execution of the treacherous terrorism that had extended to martyr Hisham Barakat was carried out."
Her account disappeared from the social networking website several times during the day. And the controversial post, which was shared hours before authorities announced the executions, has been removed. It read: "Those [men] are not the ones who killed my father, they will unjustly die…Save them and arrest the real killers."
The Judges Club, an influential body representing judges across Egypt, said in a statement that the "false" remarks were aimed at "stirring up confusion in public opinion… and casting doubt on the verdict against the terrorist killers."
Prosecutor-general Hisham Barakat was killed in a car bomb attack on his convoy in Cairo in June 2015.
Prosecutors have blamed the Muslim Brotherhood and militants from the Gaza-based group Hamas for the killing, but both groups denied the accusations.
Egyptian courts have issued hundreds of death sentences over terrorism-related charges in recent years, many of which have been overturned or reduced to prison terms; only a small number of these sentences have been carried out.
Earlier this month, authorities executed six people, three of whom convicted over the killing of a police officer in September 2013, and three others over the killing of a judge's son the following year.

David Dobrik: Meet the Vlog Squad Leader and the King of Youtube
0CommentsShare PostShare on FacebookShare on TwitterShare by EmailSend Link
ByBrihasi Dey August 20, 2021
David Dobrik is a famous YouTuber known for producing crazy and fun videos. He is one of the most popular influencers with more than 18.9 million subscribers and 8 billion views on his Youtube Channel. His Vlog Squad, aka his group of friends, are famous on the platform for their pranks, stunts, and aesthetic videos. In fact, David is often credited for starting the trend of sitcom vlogs on Youtube.
The Slovakian-American Youtuber first rose to fame through the Vine platform following which he moved to Los Angeles. The Internet star is only 25 years old and has a massive following for his energetic personality. He is also the co-founder of a photography app named Dispo with a valuation of $200 million. In 2020, Forbes estimated David Dobrik's net worth to be $15.5 million.
Earlier this year, Dobrik paused his uploads after a Vlog squad member was accused of sexual assault. In March, Insider published an article about rape allegations against Dominykas Zeglaitis while filming Dobrik's video in 2018. This led to David's cancellation from Youtube and the loss of multiple sponsorships.
"We have strict policies that prohibit sexual harassment on YouTube and take allegations of sexual assault very seriously," Youtube spokesperson told Insider. Following this, Dobrik's channels on the platform were demonetized. The Youtuber took a three months gap and left his position at Dispo.
Later on, Dobrik and Zeglaitis both issued apologies for the incident but the criticism continued. But it looks like David Dobrik is back on Youtube now and his fans couldn't be happier. Though David did not reveal anything about his absence, he promised to post regular content from now on.
His return was also criticized by many on Twitter. "It doesn't sit right with me with how many people flocked back to David Dobrik," a Twitter user commented. While many fans came ahead and celebrated the influencer's decision to come back on Youtube.
David Dobrik is undoubtedly one of the most influential personalities on Youtube. In 2020, People Magazine called Dobrik the Sexiest YouTube Star of 2020. Dobrik was also listed in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for the year 2021 under the social media category.
Apart from his main channel, Dobrik has two other channels named David Dobrik Too and Views, both having millions of subscribers. The views consist mainly of his podcasts for which he was credited by The Verge.

Team #RunWolvBrew Guest Post: "Spring in our Step"
Two lessons were learned, the hard way, at the Shamrocks and Shenanigans 5K. One, don't drink beer before a run – only after. Two, we need to get serious about training if we want to survive the Dexter-Ann Arbor 10K. Okay, neither were shocking revelations, but valuable nonetheless.
It was cold, raining and the morning start time felt extra early because it fell on the Sunday of daylight savings. A mile in, the pre-race Boddingtons we symbolically glugged down was forcing its way back up. A group of young girls in green tutus breezed by us with ease. Mike (Burger) resorted to a walk/sprint strategy, and Greg (Albino Rhino) drew blood when he stepped in a submerged pothole. But we all pushed through and crossed the finish line with a sense of accomplishment. We celebrated accordingly.
None of us are natural runners. Our native habitat is a bar stool, not a treadmill. Sean (Kleinbird) was diagnosed with "metaatarsalgia of the right foot" after a week on the elliptical, for the love of god. John (Beef) has to ice his knee after merely thinking about jogging.
That said, the team is more motivated than ever. It's officially spring. The days are getting longer, warmer and ticking away to the 10K. We're offering each other daily support and advice (which reads more like trash-talk in a ridiculously nonstop group text message). When we do find the time to meet up in person, the brewery is our "mission control." Each meeting, we brainstorm how our efforts might inspire and evolve. If a group of friends can have this much fun – in spite of the pain – and build the foundations for a philanthropic tradition, we're confident that more would-be runners will join the cause. When it's for something you care about, running is even more rewarding – and a little less excruciating.
