Q: MariaDB slow LEFT JOIN on binary UUID-columns I have a very long running query (and subsequent non-professional attempts of improved queries) involving LEFT JOINs against a MariaDB.

*

*engine is InnoDB

*tables are pb_work (4 columns) and pb_instance (9 columns)

*both tables contain 1.000.000 rows (theoretically one work can have many instances, this is just for testing purposes)

*all involved id-columns are binary(16) (representing UUIDs)

*

*The initial query was the following:

SELECT * FROM pb_work LEFT JOIN pb_instance pi on pb_work.id = pi.work_id;

(Takes ~1m24s)

*Naively I tried to limit that as my use-case allows to request stuff in batches:

SELECT * FROM pb_work LEFT JOIN pb_instance pi on pb_work.id = pi.work_id LIMIT 300;

(Takes ~55s, honestly has me wondering why it is faster at all as I thought the join happens first anyways before the limiting)

*Assuming that's probably too many entries in the first table:

SELECT * FROM
     (SELECT * FROM pb_work LIMIT 300) as subq
             LEFT JOIN pb_instance pi on subq.id = pi.work_id;

(Takes ~1m, has me wondering why it's slower; executing the inner select alone runs 94ms)

Consumer inflation in Japan's capital hits near 42-year high, keeps BOJ under pressure
Core consumer prices in Japan's capital, a leading indicator of nationwide trends, rose 4.3% in January from a year earlier, marking the fastest annual gain in nearly 42 years and keeping the central bank under pressure to phase out economic stimulus. While the government's energy subsidies starting next month will likely moderate price gains from February, the data heightens the chance that inflation will stay well above the Bank of Japan's 2% target in coming months as companies continue to steadily pass on higher costs to households. The rise in the Tokyo core consumer price index (CPI), which excludes fresh food but includes fuel, exceeded a median market forecast for a 4.2% gain and marked the fastest year-on-year increase since May 1981.

The site, in Sen Sok district, now houses about 76 refugees and asylum seekers from Vietnam – members of highland ethnic minorities that rights groups say face ethnic and religious persecution by the Vietnamese government.
On November 29, the government wrote to the local office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to inform the agency that it would close the site on January 1.
The letter called on UNHCR to speed the resettlement of 62 registered Montagnard refugees at the site, but said any unregistered asylum seekers – officials say there are "more than 10" – would be deported to Vietnam upon the centre's closure.
In a statement yesterday, the Cambodian Centre for Human Rights said the decision to close the Sen Sok site on January 1 was "further evidence that the treatment of political refugees in Cambodia is secondary to the [government's] political and economic prerogatives".
CCHR compared the case to the government's forcible deportation of 20 ethnic Uighur asylum seekers to China in December last year, which it linked to the prior announcement of a US$1.2 billion Chinese aid-and-loans package.
Similarly, it added, "the decision to close the centre and to repatriate the Montagnards comes a month after Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung led a high-ranking delegation to Cambodia". Dung made a three-day visit to Cambodia on November 14.
CCHR called on the government to refrain from putting human lives in peril "in exchange for political capital and financial gain".
Foreign Ministry spokesman Koy Kuong rejected the claim. "No one has influence on Cambodia's policy. We decided to close it down on our own," he said.
Also yesterday, Interior Ministry spokesman Khieu Sopheak said the centre was being shuttered because there was little hope UNHCR could staunch the flow of Montagnard asylum seekers from Vietnam.
Khieu Sopheak said UNHCR has requested a three-month extension in order to process the resettlement of the 62 approved refugees at the site, but repeated that unregistered people would be deported.
Kitty McKinsey, UNHCR's Asia spokeswoman, did not comment in detail on the government's reason for closing the centre, except to say that the agency was "simply trying to find solutions for 62 people".
Andrew Swan, a programme manager for the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation, said last year's Uighur deportation showed how "fickle" Phnom Penh was to outside pressure. He added that there was "no clear reason" why an extension should not be granted to UNHCR.
Since 2001, around 2,000 Montagnards have fled to Cambodia due to official crackdowns inside Vietnam. Human Rights Watch said on Tuesday that around 300 Montagnards are currently serving jail terms for their religious or political beliefs.

The Best Remote Access Software 2023 - Get Access From Anywhere
Daniel Rosehill
Last updated: Oct. 22, 2020
Remote access software is an important tool for those that want to access their computer remotely and conveniently. Unlike virtual private networks (VPNs) for securing remote access to a company's server, remote desktop tools work by simply allowing users to access a copy of the display server on their computer remotely.
This means that users can "log in" to their computer remotely and use it just as if they were sitting in front of it in their home/office. However, using a remote desktop, the physical computer to which the user is connecting to is in use. That means that it typically needs to be powered on—although many remote access tools are able to remotely activate or launch the computer (we'll look at wake on LAN and WAN later in this article).
While users are using the computer, the device remains connected to its local network. This allows users to manipulate files on a company network, for example, without having to secure the connection with something like a VPN. It also means that the user will be able to access other devices on the computer's network—such as, say, an office printer. By being able to access one device on the local network, this saves the user from having to set up remote connectivity with every other device on the network.
For users that want to remotely connect to a personal or work device, but without the hassle of setting up a VPN connection, remote access is a great option. They don't typically require the assistance of an IT team and are usually quick and easy to setup. Enterprise tools can even typically be remotely installed on endpoints over the network.

The Key Features You Need to Support a Remote Workforce
Remote Desktop vs. VPN: What's the Difference?
How to Minimize the Risks of Remote Access for Your Business
What You Need to Know About Remote Access Software
What Is Remote Access Software?
Remote access software is designed to help PC users to securely access their computers, or other devices, from a remote location. It is often also used to allow managed service providers (MSPs) or IT support teams to remotely diagnose problems with computers and apply troubleshooting steps without having to guide users through complicated steps—or lengthy diagnostic processes.
Remote access tools commonly connect with computers by using a protocol called Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). This is optimized to display the computer's desktop remotely although it can also be used for file transfer between the remote client and the computer.
Remote access tools are more flexible than VPNs because they allow users to mirror both the display and the filesystem. However, VPNs are still often the preferred tool used by enterprises and large organizations for having remote users connect to on-premises resources over a secure connection.
Who Needs Remote Access Software?
Remote access software is useful for just about any individual that might need to access their computer, or smartphone, remotely. This could be an office worker who wants to sync a resource from a filesharing resource on the local area network (LAN), such as a Network Attached Storage (NAS), with their remote computer. Rather than connecting to their machine through a VPN, the user can actually directly interface with their computer from a remote location. This typically means that whenever the user types on their keyboard or moves their mouse at home, these actions are mimicked on their computer in the office.
Additionally remember that remote access allows users to directly access a physical computer sitting in a remote location and to compute upon the hardware it contains. Take the case of a freelance video editor that has to work from home for a day. In the office he or she might have a high powered video editing workstation with high-end hardware required for fast rendering. At home he might only have a laptop. The video editor could simply edit the video remotely while connected to his workstation through a remote access tool and then render the project in the usual time.
Regular home users can benefit from remote connectivity too. Have you ever had to keep your computer turned on just to monitor the progress of a lengthy software update process? This is a perfect use-case for a remote access app. Install the remote access app on the computer you need to monitor (say your laptop). You can leave the house while the update process is ongoing and continue to monitor it remotely from your smartphone. When the job is complete you can even remotely turn the PC off, thereby saving on unnecessary power use.
Finally remote access software is widely used by IT companies and managed service providers (MSPs). MSPs typically assume responsibility for the successful use of technology in a company that doesn't have an in-house IT department to maintain systems. Using remote access technology, IT support professionals can avoid having to relay troubleshooting and diagnostic steps through end-users, leading to quicker and more successful issue resolution—while minimizing onsite visits.
How Do I Choose the Best Remote Access Software?
As with all technology verticals, not all remote access software is created equal. To choose the best remote access software users should check the feature list for the following functionalities:
Wake on WAN: Most users turn on their computers by pressing a power button. However, many computers are also configured to support Wake on LAN (or WAN). This means that they will listen for data packets sent over the local or wide area network and automatically boot as soon as the turn on signal is detected. Remote access tools that support Wake on WAN allow users to turn their computers off, or put them into hibernation, while still being able to turn them on remotely. Compared to leaving them running 24/7 while not physically present in the office this clearly results in electricity savings.
Annotations: Some remote support tools allow support agents to draw annotations on users' screens. In order to do this the tools run a 2-way screen sharing sync and allow the IT professional to draw arrow, pencil markings, and other annotations to instruct the user how to resolve their difficulty.
File transfer: The connection protocol which most remote access tools work off, RDP, enables users to share files between the server (usually the computer they are connecting to) and the client (usually the computer or device they are connecting from). If the remote desktop tool supports file sharing then users can forget about having to use a VPN, or another technology, to move files into and out of their place of work.
Multimonitor support: Many modern computer users will be using multiple monitors to enhance their productivity throughout the workday. If that's you, and you plan on connecting to your computer through a remote viewing client, then you should make sure that the remote support client has multimonitor support. This will allow you to access all your display interfaces as one unified device.
Augmented reality (AR): Some remote access tools have come to market that can intelligently detect information being presented from the PC running the remote server and annotate it automatically on the end of the connecting user, typically an IT support professional. By intelligently highlighting salient facts about the configuration the user is running, this use of automation can cut down on the time it takes to resolve a typical user issue.
Multisession handling: When IT support and MSP staff are the end users, multisession handling is often a key requirement. With this functionality, support staff are able to support multiple devices simultaneously.
Unattended access: Unattended access is designed to facilitate logins to computers where there is nobody physically sitting at the target machine. In order to achieve this, it bypasses the usual authentication steps so that, after setting up the connection once, users can log in any time they feel like. If the software combines both Wake on WAN and unattended access they can turn on the computer remotely and log into it without anything other than a power connection being available to the target device.
How Can I Remotely Access Another Computer for Free?
Accessing your computer for free can be achieved with any remote support app that has a free tier. Teamviewer is a popular choice for this use. In order to get set up on a platform like this, users simply need to install the client on their target device. After enabling unattended access they should be able to remotely take over control of the computer whenever they feel like it. Bear in mind that in many cases users will still receive prompts that their system is being accessed remotely. Therefore users should ideally alert anybody else using the computer that at any moment they could take the digital reigns and start manipulating the controls.
Remote access software is the perfect technology for users that want to be able to access their devices remotely and use them as if they were in their office or at home. It offers users more flexibility than a VPN because they can manipulate both the filesystem and the computer directly. Although some employers still exist on using VPN technology, advances in encryption mean that many are now satisfied with allowing employees to use RDP technology for all their offsite connectivity needs. Wake on LAN and unattended access mean that many tools allow users to do everything with their work-based hardware no matter where they are located.

Providing the Colorado Springs area with professional, fast and eco-friendly dumpster rental services.
No matter where you live, in Colorado Springs or anywhere else in the world, getting rid of unwanted junk is a regular part of life. And it's something that many of us take for granted.
However, occasionally there are situations where throwing unwanted items in the trash won't work. Maybe because the items are too big, or there's far too much of it. That's when you need another way to get rid of your junk or debris.
In fact, for some projects, a good waste removal solution is to rent a dumpster in Colorado Springs for your junk.
Renting a dumpster is not the only option for disposing of your unwanted material. There are typically two other ways to haul your junk aside from renting a dumpster: you can do it yourself or hire a full-service junk removal company.
Hiring a full-service junk-removal company is a simple process. And, like renting a dumpster, a junk disposal company can help with home cleanouts, estate cleanouts, yard waste, construction debris, or general waste removal. The difference is that the junk removal company takes care of all the heavy lifting for you.
If you opt for a full-service junk removal, keep in mind that a waste removal truck usually holds about 15 cubic yards. While not typical, you may require more than one load. Also, pricing varies with your location, the type and volume of junk being hauled, and labor costs. On the other hand, there aren't as many factors with junk removal services as with dumpster rental and you won't require a permit.
Dumpsters, on the other hand, are perfect for getting rid of waste generated by re-landscaping, roof repairs, renovations, and large-scale clean outs. When you'd prefer to clear out the junk/debris yourself, renting a dumpster is the way to go. It's a simple process that involves calling the dumpster rental company, choosing a container size, having it dropped off at your property, filling it up, and having it hauled away.
Colorado Springs dumpster rental prices depend on your location within the city, the size of dumpster you need, how long you need it, possible permits, and the company you choose to rent from. You should also estimate the amount of waste, and whether will be accumulating over many days.
If you need to place your rental dumpster placed on a city street or other public right-of-way near your home or project, you will need to obtain a permit from the City of Colorado Springs.
Although your dumpster rental company may take care of this permit process for you, be sure to discuss ask and make sure that this is the case or not. You don't want to rent a container without the proper permit.
The rental company should take measures to prevent the dumpster from damaging your concrete driveway. Also, keep within the weight limits imposed on the dumpster as you will receive a fine if you go over.
Because snow is common during Colorado winters, you'll need to consider this in your dumpster rental plan between late October through late April. The snow is usually heavier and wetter in the spring time than winter. Snow storms can wreak havoc with scheduling, so a good strategy is to plan your rentals for periods that are not likely to experience heavy snowfall.
Also, the snow and ice increases the weight of the dumpster. This can make your rental fee higher if your dumpster is rented based on the weight of your dumpster when it's picked up. Junk King, however, only charges you based on the amount of space you use so you aren't charged for weight from snow and ice.
A rented dumpster is often the best way to get rid of large amounts of waste and you can avoid making multiple trips to a landfill by filling the dumpster gradually as you finish your project. Once you're done, you can then have the company pick up the dumpster.
Dumpsters rented in Colorado Springs are subject to state-wide regulations that prohibit specific materials. Make sure that the materials you need to dispose of are suitable for a dumpster.
Any explosive or corrosive substances and highly flammable materials are prohibited entirely. You should contact an experienced junk removal company if you are unsure about anything you want to place in a rented dumpster.
Some dumpster rental companies charge based on the length of time that you rent the dumpster. Other companies, like Junk King, only charge for the amount of space you use in the dumpster for a set period of time. These companies may prove to be more cost-effective for some Colorado Springs residents.
Where Can You Put a Rental Dumpster?
Although renting a dumpster can be convenient, there are logistical considerations involved. Typically, it must be placed on your property, so city streets and other public right of way areas aren't going to work without permits.
You also need to have it placed where it will be easily accessible when the rental company comes to collect it, like a driveway or even a yard, if possible.
Most dumpsters come in several standard sizes. Most people are familiar with the large 40 cubic yard receptacles. Unless you're renting a dumpster for commercial purposes, you probably won't need one that large. A 12-cubic-yard dumpster from Junk King, however, can easily hold the junk from your garage or basement, or the debris from a home renovation.
El Paso County, the home of Colorado Springs, has a number of initiatives in place with the goal of reducing the amount of waste entering landfills. These include a zero-waste goal by 2030.
Colorado Springs and other communities in the area are committed to helping by increasing recycling and composting rates and reducing landfill waste.
When renting a dumpster, in addition to the fee structure and type of dumpster, you should also think about what type of company you want to work with. Not all companies are eco-friendly nor are firms created equal.
And when it comes to fee structures, some charge by the day, others by the weight when it's picked up, and others by the amount of space that you use. Most people find the last option to be the most convenient since it allows them to save money by packing their unit efficiently.
Junk King Colorado Springs lets you pay only for the space you actually use! This is often the most cost-effective approach for renters. Other dumpster rental companies start with a flat fee and then add in other costs.
However, if you have a smaller project, the Junk King MINI dumpster can save you money. In fact, the MINI holds up to 12 cubic yards so it can work for everything from major cleaning projects to minor home renovations.
Different companies use different pricing models, but Junk King keeps things transparent in our terms and conditions. And our prices include delivery, pick-up, and standard disposal and recycling services.
Why Consider a Dumpster Rental?
A question Colorado Springs residents will ask about dumpster rental is "Do I actually need one?" Too many homeowners think dumpsters are only needed if the debris they have is overwhelming. But when you consider the time and effort needed to haul it away yourself, a rented dumpster can be cost-effective for even smaller amounts of junk.
You can save money on your dumpster rental before you book it by choosing a company with the right fee structure. Also avoid dumping materials that will result in extra fees and make sure it can be picked up on time.
Colorado Springs is well known for its annual events such as music and arts festivals and the Bighorn Sheep Day Festival. Dumpster rentals are a great feature before, during and after these events. Dumpster rentals are great for local neighborhood events, as well.
Event staff can keep things tidy and hygienic by tossing the trash and recycling bags into dumpster rentals kept out of the way.
Depending on the size and venue, a MINI dumpster can be perfect for these events.
We're the flexible service you need for any kind of junk removal in the Colorado Springs area. Deciding between a dumpster rental and our full-service junk hauling? Tell our junk experts about the situation and we can help you find the most cost-efficient and easy solution.

Press Release by Ackah Business Immigration Law regarding significant problems and issues with the new Express Entry Permanent Residence process.
CBC quotes Evelyn Ackah Regarding Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
Article by Evelyn Ackah – "Businesses Need to Tell Their Temporary Foreign Worker Story Better" originally published in the Calgary Chamber of Commerce e-connecting publication.
On October 5, 2015, the Canadian government announced the completion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal. This deal is not yet finalized, as each founding country has to ratify the text of the deal. Because the contents of the TPP deal have not been released yet, it is unknown if this deal will have any impact on Canadian Immigration – however we do expect there will be some mobility clauses that could have an impact on Canadian immigration. We are watching these developments closely and will provide an update once the information is available.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has said that the Parent and Grandparent Program will reopen in January 2016. The government has not indicated whether there will be any changes to the eligibility criteria or if the cap will be increased for the 2016 program. The allocation for 2015 (5,000) was snapped up within days, so many prospective sponsors have been waiting for the Parent and Grandparent Program to reopen in order to apply. It is likely that the demand will once again be overwhelming and it is anticipated that the cap will be reached within weeks. It is recommended that prospective sponsors begin preparing now for the 2016 program.
The Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council ("ICCRC") has reached an agreement with the Canadian Consortium for International Education to create a new professional designation of Regulated International Student Immigration Advisors ("RISIA") to allow current International Student Officers to become regulated under a tailored program for advisors in educational institutions. This new stream will focus on the federal and provincial regulations that affect foreign students.
As announced in June 2014 by Employment and Social Development Canada ("ESDC"), the established cap on the number of Temporary Foreign Workers employed for low-wage positions was lowered to 20% on July 1, 2015. Any employer applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessment ("LMIA") who has a work force of more than 20% Temporary Foreign Workers, will not be processed under the established Ministerial Instructions. Under the current plan by ESDC, a final adjustment to the cap for low-wage positions will occur on July 1, 2016, at which point Canadian employers will be restricted to 10% of their work force to be Temporary Foreign Workers.


Think you don't need to know all this technical stuff?
Whether you do-it-yourself or hire someone to do your SEO, you need to know enough to not get taken…or worse have your site blocked.
• Even Peter Kent, the author of "Search Engine Optimization for Dummies" says 80% of Search Engine Optimization is a scam.
How do you stay out of trouble?
Understanding what an SEO scam looks like will keep you from wasting money or worse being blacklisted by search engines like Google.
In this lesson, you'll identify several of the most common dirty tricks employed by so-called SEO "experts" in their quest to "pull one over" on Google.
• You'll be better protected, and a more informed consumer of SEO services by knowing when to run from unscrupulous companies.
Identify keyword tricks used by devious businesses.
Let's get started by identifying 3 keyword tricks used by devious SEO services.
Keyword stuffing is just like it sounds.
It involves repeating keywords and phrases over and over in a way that doesn't add value to the visitor experience.
It often includes putting multiple instances of keywords in hidden areas of the web pages.
Search engines have gotten very good at "sniffing-out" this trick.
And fact, you now have to watch using keywords excessively in just your normal web page copywriting so you don't get painted with the "Keyword stuffer" brush.
Next, keyword stacking consists of repeating the keyword over and over in each row of text-often in hidden areas of the website.
"Black-hat" SEO companies would also put keywords in the color white text, or use extremely small font sizes, to make it virtually invisible to the human eye, but hoping to get noticed by the search engines.
Not only do search engines hate these types of behavior, but often competitors would find these tricks and report them to the search engine company-so the site would be blocked.
There are so many ways to legitimately help your site ranking, engaging in these types of tactics is just not worth the risk of being black-listed by the search engines.
Moving on, let's look at link-building.
When done right it is an important and legitimate technique to increase your site ranking.
But there are lots of companies who want to sell you low-value links promising they will rocket you to the top of page one in Google.
The worst of these are known as "link-farms" which are automated link-exchange systems designed only to try and fool search engines.
They do not add value to real people and are just one more SEO scam that search engines hate.
Think quality of links, not quantity.
Finally, let's examine some page ploys that search engines can't stand.
The first one is duplicating pages and sites.
Today most search engines recognize duplication and will not rank duplicate pages and sites.
Focus on great original content whenever possible.
The next page ploy is "doorway" or "information" pages.
These pages are highly optimized to rank well and channel traffic to your site.
The trouble is they are often intended to funnel traffic to sites that aren't really related to the page that the searcher clicked in from.
Think of these as "bait and switch" web pages.
Search engines hate these games.
Develop pages that are relevant to search engines and make real people want to find out more once they get to your site.
Remember if things seem too good to be true, they generally are.
If someone is offering you SEO services with methods that just don't sound right, they probably aren't looked upon favorably by the search engines.
"White-hat" SEO is all about using strategies that improve communication with the real people searching for relevant information.
Go to your practice guide for a comparison of "black hat" tricks vs. "white-hat" strategies.
Take a minute to note which types of SEO offers you've seen since opening your website.
Thanks for sticking with it!
You've built a solid foundation to build traffic to your website site with ethical and effective search engine optimization strategies.
In the next module we will continue exploring how to increase your online traffic by focusing on how to find and reach influencers who know and engage your "perfect" customers.
Stay tuned for the next module's lesson: Influencers: Leveraging the Power of Relationships.


Looking for a couple replacement units that are on my boat. One is in the galley and they other is in the head. They are both operated by an on/off switch and are DC powered. Can't seem to find anything online. I forgot to take a real good look at them when I was down in Mexico last time, and have no idea of the make and model.
They look like this. The plastic inside is shredded, and I am sure it aides in keeping water out. Wonder if the builder made this with a separate fan down below coupled with the stainless deck cap for a custom job, or were these sold as a unit? I suppose I really only need the plastic, but doubt I'll be able to buy "just" that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I installed a couple of Nico Fico solar exhaust vents on one of my boats ages ago, & was quite happy with them. They didn't have any water traps in them, but definitely pulled the moisture out of the galley & head. And with some ingenuity, it's be possible to add means for keeping out everything but solid green water over the deck. As well as adding manual on/off switches to them. Though I don't think that switches are truly needed.
Last I researched, Nicro no longer makes a solar/12v fan. Since my fan was in a shower ceiling I needed ventilation when required not just while the sun shines.
I installed a new Nicro solar vent, then piggie-backed a Vetus electric fan underneath. It works fine with no issues.
I saw those, but I am not looking for a solar option. The fan is under the range hood over my galley stove. Really nice in dissipating the heat down below. I need on demand power, which I have. I just need to find a dome top like the one in the picture, although they seem to be in short supply.
I guess I could use the solar style in conjunction with my fan. I am sure the fan motor has enough power to blow through the solar option. Hmmm….
Ronbo, There are several Nicro solar vents at Defender via the link which I provided.
Guys, what I said in my other post is that it's usually possible to disassemble these solar vent fan units in order to add wiring for a switch, or a different power supply, etc.
Since, several years back, I took more than one apart in order to install a new battery. As the original one would no longer hold much of a charge. So I doubt that these are super complex to do surgery on either.
If I would only read at a slower pace I guess I'll get ready to operate.
Like I said I bought a new solar Nico vent, from Defender, and piggy-backed a 12 volt Vetus fan underneath. You can't simply convert a solar vent to operate off 12 volts because the solar panel provides only a couple volts. You need to build a little circuit to reduce 12 volts to operate the fan without burning it out.
I use bilge blowers for ventilators. I add a reostat to control speed. They can move much more air. Bilge blower about $25, Vertus about $85.
I use a couple at slow speed for bilge vents and each head and range hood for venting at full speed.
They can be plumbed into plastic or stainless pipe and fittings. Or flexible vent hose.
You are correct. Probably any electronics shop(a real shop, not radio shack) can rewire to brand new condition. Or if you are handy with tools, do it yourself. Parts are available at almost any electronics shop. Think Popular Mechanics had an article about building your own solar fan a while back.
Are these available in a low profile? My trimaran came from B.C. where everybody has a propane heater. The P.O. installed one in the forward v-berth complete with chimney and top above deck. I'd like to rip the entire thing out and need to put something to cover the good sized hole that isn't too god awful to look at on deck! Oh, and it must be able to keep the water out!
On the keeping water out idea. Usually for vent fans, Dorades, etc. You'll need to install some type of water trap in addition to the vent. As most vents are splash proof at best, & aren't to be trusted to keep water off of a bunk or electronics below them. And "low profile + waterproof" is an oxymoron. Or it it isn't I'd love to hear about it, including links please.
Water traps, & Dorade boxes, etc. are better when it comes to keeping Neptune out of the boat, but aren't 100%. So you have to watch where you put holes in your deck, so to speak.
For things like over bunk applications, remove the ventillator when going sailing, & insert the proper gasketed plug. Though ideally, you'll want to glass over the hole, & re-drill it somewhere less critical.
BTW, the latest Nicro solar vents are permanently mounted; however, they can be sealed below by pulling down on the fan grill. Supposed to keep out green water.

Emmanuel Macron calls for peaceful outcome with North Korea
Comments come after phone call with Donald Trump in which both leaders agreed on need to confront 'increasingly dangerous situation.'
By	Simon Marks
French President Emmanuel Macron made a plea to de-escalate tensions with North Korea and called on the international community to proceed toward new measures aimed at an irreversible dismantling of the country's nuclear program.
Following comments last week from U.S. President Donald Trump that North Korea would be "met with fire and fury" the French president reminded allies of the importance of new measures taken on August 5 by the U.N. Security Council to impose new sanctions on North Korea, including the banning of exports.
"The North Korean regime today is engaged in a dangerous escalation of tensions, which poses a serious threat to the security of its neighbors as well as the durability of international efforts aimed at denuclearization," the Elysée said in a statement. "In front of this threat, the international community should act concretely, firmly and efficiently."
Macron's statement follows a phone call with Trump Saturday evening. The leaders discussed "the need to confront the increasingly dangerous situation associated with North Korea's destabilizing and escalatory behavior," the White House said in a statement. During the call, both said they would boost efforts to enforce new sanctions and denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.
The French president is the latest European leader to urge an immediate resolution to the diplomatic standoff, after British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson blamed North Korea for the crisis and said Pyongyang "must fix it." German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Berlin would stand by the U.S. in the case of war but implicitly criticized Trump by condemning the "escalation of rhetoric."

{{breadcrumb.label}} Press Releases EnBW tests inductive charging of e-buses
E-mobility for local public transport: EnBW tests inductive charging of e-buses while being driven
A unique project in Germany with partner ElectReon from Israel. Construction work on first section set to start in August 2020 with launch in October
Karlsruhe. As part of a demonstration project, EnBW is testing the wireless charging of electrically powered buses used for local public transport. To this end, the company is building a test route in Karlsruhe, on which an electric bus can be charged while being driven without producing any emissions thanks to charging technology embedded in the road surface. This will allow more than 80 people to be conveyed fully electrically. The project is thus already looking at possible solutions for the future of sustainable electric mobility, particularly in the area of local public transport and heavy goods transport.
The bus route is set to connect the new EnBW training centre in the Port of Karlsruhe on the Rhine to the public transport system from October. The VBK (Karlsruhe's public transport company) will operate the internal works bus route, which is set to run several times per hour during peak times. The Israeli start-up ElectReon is supplying the technology for the test route. 'Many of us are familiar with wireless charging technology from our smartphones, where it has been successfully used for a number of years. We are now bringing inductive charging for electric vehicles out of the laboratory and onto the road and subjecting the technology to a real acid test,' explains Maximilian Arnold, who is overseeing the project at EnBW's research division.
EnBW wants to use the project to examine the opportunities presented by inductive charging technology and test its suitability for everyday use. This makes EnBW a pioneer in Central Europe. Until now, there have only been two comparable projects that work with ElectReon's technology: one in Sweden and another in Israel. The technology will initially be installed on the ground of EnBW. The charging coils are also set to be installed in the adjoining public road later on.
Buses recharge while they are being driven
Inductive charging technology involves coils being embedded in the road surface. As soon as the vehicle drives over them, the receiver coils fitted on the underbody are activated and draw the electrical energy into the vehicle's battery via a magnetic field. This enables the vehicle to cover long distances without the need to stand idle while being recharged, which is especially advantageous for heavy goods vehicles. 'The great thing about inductive charging is that the technology is invisible on the road and very safe at the same time.' Building the charging route for electric buses should give us an idea of the role inductive charging can play in the future when developing products and services for our customers,' says Wolfram Münch, head of research and development at EnBW. 'As a supplier of sustainable infrastructure, it is important to us to test new technologies that can make even better use of electricity in road transport and reduce emissions.'
The initial groundwork on the bus route is set to get under way in August 2020. The installation of the charging technology and the construction of the bus stop are due to be completed this year, before a section of Fettweisstraße, which adjoins EnBW's grounds, will be equipped with inductive charging coils at the start of 2021 in the next stage of the project.
EnBW is a pioneer of electric mobility
Back in 2009, EnBW was one of the first energy companies to start developing solutions for a sustainable transformation of the transport system. With its current research project, it is taking a look into the not too distant future of electric mobility and its application areas for consumers. EnBW was recently named best e-mobility provider in D, AT and CH by the renowned testing magazine Connect (June 2020 issue). The energy company already operates the EnBW Hypernetwork, Germany's biggest DC fast charging network, and is continuously expanding it. At present, 400 DC stations are in operation – and EnBW wants to install 1,000 fast charging stations across Germany by the start of 2021, guaranteeing a nationwide infrastructure. At the same time, owners of electric vehicles can use the free EnBW mobility+ app or charging card to charge their vehicles anywhere in the largest charging network in Germany, Austria and Switzerland at the same standard kilowatt-hour price – as well as at any other charging station managed by other operators.

The 336th Infantry Division () was an infantry division of the German Army during the Second World War, active from 1940 to 1944. It saw active service in France and on the Eastern Front. Largely destroyed during the Crimean Offensive, it surrendered to the Soviets at Sevastopol in May 1944.

Operational history

The 336th Infantry Division was formed in Naumburg in December 1940 under the command of Generalmajor Johann Stever. The division nominally fell within the responsibility of Wehrkreis IV and was one of several static divisions raised for service in the occupied countries of Western Europe. It was formed around three battalions transferred from the 61st Infantry Division and three battalions from the 256th Infantry Division. Both of the donor divisions were experienced, having participated in the Invasion of Poland and the Battle of the Netherlands, respectively.

The 336th was soon sent to Western Europe, firstly Belgium for a month in May 1941, then onto Le Havre in France. In April 1942, it was posted to Brittany. It was then moved to the Eastern Front the following month and soon participated in the Second Battle of Kharkov. After this, it was transferred to the 2nd Hungarian Army under which it fought in Case Blue, the Wehrmacht's offensive in southern Russia in the summer of 1942. After this, it was involved in the attempt to relieve the 6th Army at Stalingrad. Later that year, it was engaged on the Mius-Front and the subsequent fighting around Melitopol, as part of the Panther–Wotan line.

Dispatched to the Crimea in November 1943, when the Soviets launched their Crimean Offensive six months later, the 336th was stationed on the Perekop Isthmus. It took heavy casualties during the Soviet assault, including the divisional commander, Generalmajor Wolf Hagemann, who was medically evacuated. What was left of the division retreated into Sevastopol where it eventually surrendered to the Soviets along with the rest of the city's defenders on 9 May 1944. Some personnel did manage to avoid surrender by getting evacuated by sea; the surviving infantry were assigned to the 294th Infantry Division while what was left of the staff officers were posted to 237th Infantry Division.

Commanders
Generalmajor Johann Stever (15 December 1940 – 28 February 1942);
Generalmajor Walther Lucht (1 March 1942 – 30 June 1943);
Generalmajor Wilhelm Kunze (1 July – 15 August 1943; 1 September – 7 December 1943);
Oberst Werner von Bülow (15–30 August 1943);
Oberst Wolf Hagemann (8 December 1943 – 1944).

An extremely feared and militaristic nation, proudly recognized as the Grunnod, has stolen freedom, joy and fortune from an entire galaxy. They are in search of an ancient artifact from a long, forgotten time. It is believed to unlock a door to an immense and immeasurable power. Many scholars, and others believed to be immortal, have died of old age trying to exhume it. This relic is believed to be hidden deep within the innards of a Grunnodian possessed world. A broken soul seeks revenge for what the cruel Grunnodians have done to his people. He escapes. And when a tortured victim finds power and purpose, the shacklers that face him sing a sad song.

New Influencers
The Moms
For BCBG Max Azria GroupLos Angeles, CAPhotos & Story by Lauri Levenfeld
Lubov Azria tells the story of when she was 18 and new to Los Angeles, she walked by a department store and was stopped by the most gorgeous dress sparkling in the window. It was love at first sight! She went inside to try it on, everything was perfect from the fit to the feel. As Lubov stood before the mirror gleaming and twirling, ready to purchase, she looked down at the price tag. It was $3000!! Her car wasn't even worth $1500. She felt a pit in her stomach and a feeling came over her that she was not worthy of this dress. It was at this moment Lubov vowed to herself, and all women, that no one should feel this pain and if she ever became a designer she would make gorgeous, affordable clothes that would make everyone feel good about themselves. This day changed her forever and gave Azria the purpose to follow her dreams and
become the woman she is today. It was at this moment that the DNA of BCBGMAXAZRIA was born. I met Lubov at an intimate dinner she hosted for 45 women held in San Francisco. After Lubov told her story, she asked everyone in the room to introduce themselves (a vital process for her to learn and know about everyone in the room and one we dedicated an hour to during dinner). Instead of asking "What each person did", the questions were about inspiration, favorite quotes, and a first job.…

Remarkable that it's McCain, in response to a question about negative campaigning, who would first bring up the charge--via John Lewis--that McCain has exploited race.
But it seems like a winner for Obama to respond to a broadside from McCain about debate process and public financing by returning to the financial crisis and "the big problems here in America".
The era of no eye contact is over, that's for sure.

During the first half of my pregnancy, when the gender of our baby was still unknown, family and friends would often say things like, "Oh, I hope you get your girl this time!"
I know they meant it with the best of intentions and I love them for it, but such comments always made me slightly indignant, like, "Do they really think I'm having another baby just because I'm hoping for a girl?!"
The truth is, before we decided to have another baby, I had to think long and hard about whether or not I was actually okay with possibly adding a girl to our family. The thought literally terrified me. I love my four boys. I love the identity that having all one gender gives to our family. I love being able to streamline gift giving and event planning because their interests and needs are so similar. Basically, I'm just very, very comfortable being a mom of boys.
I found myself facing the same kind of decision before this pregnancy, and I think most people are surprised to learn that it was actually the idea of a girl, rather than another boy, that made me hesitant to have another baby. But eventually, I came to terms with the possibility.
Anyway, as the date of our 20-week ultrasound approached, I found myself clutching possessively at my all-boy card while at the same time entertaining a thought here and there about pink clothes and hair bows and mommy-daughter dates.
It was a strange bag of emotions, and I kept thinking about how grateful I was that the decision was beyond my control. I constantly felt the pressure to produce a girl, and I think if it had actually been up to me, I wouldn't have been able to separate what I wanted from the opinions of everyone around me.
Before the doctor began the ultrasound, she asked about our family and found out about our four boys. We told her we thought this baby was probably another boy but that we wouldn't be shedding any tears either way because we were perfectly content with either a boy or a girl. She began her methodical exam, starting with the placenta and cervix. As she made her way to the actual baby, the answer was right there, loud and clear.
"Well that's definitely a boy," she said. "I actually was pretty sure you were going to have a girl, but I was wrong."
And Mike and I both looked at each other and laughed. Five boys. Who would've ever thought?
I knew I would be happy and relieved and just so content if I found out we were having another boy. And I was. All of those emotions were there, front and center. What I was unprepared for were the other feelings that immediately crowded in and clamored for my attention.
The one word that best describes them is, ironically, loss.
Here I was, gaining another child and another son, and I felt an overwhelming sense of loss.
As Mike and I were sitting in the lobby waiting for the ultrasound DVD to copy, I leaned over and whispered, "I'm sad for Aaron." It was an odd sentiment. Aaron hadn't ever even expressed a desire for a sister, and I knew he'd be thrilled when he heard he was getting another brother, but still I felt sad for him. He has always been the very sweetest of big brothers, and I imagined that would have only been multiplied if it had been a baby sister under his kind and protective wing. More than anything, I think it was the realization that I wouldn't get to see what he would have been like as the big brother of a little sister.
As the days passed, that wondering of what would have been seemed to haunt me at every turn. Because we've never had a girl, our experiences so far have followed a rather similar course. And knowing that this is our fifth child and that five children is a lot, it is quite possible that this will be our last and so I might very well never know what some of those things would feel like.
For example, how would I react if the ultrasound tech said, "And . . . it looks like it's a girl!" It's rather mind blowing.
Or what would it feel like to tell family and friends (particularly my mother-in-law) that we're having a girl? How would they respond?
What would I do to prepare for a girl? How would it be different than preparing for a boy? What books would I read? What conversations would I have? What clothes or baby gear would I buy?
What would it be like to choose a name for a girl? To look through lists of girl names and pay close attention to every unique or unusual name I heard?
How would Sunday mornings change if I had to actually fix a little girl's hair before church instead of making a pit stop at the drinking fountain on our way into the chapel to smooth down my boys' unruly tufts?
What would it be like to hold her for the first time? To see Mike hold her for the first time? To see my kids with her?
While I'm so happy to have another boy, everything I've been feeling is so familiar. I've done this all before. Five times actually. And there's a small part of me that wonders what, if anything, I'm missing.
And although much of this pregnancy is familiar, there have been some delightful surprises as well. For one, our kids are beyond excited. Like, you wouldn't believe how ecstatic they are about another brother. Every week, we have to look up his progress and growth. And every few days, Clark will randomly burst out, "You're going to have a baby! I'm going to be a big brother!" My kids have never been old enough before to truly enjoy the excitement and anticipation of a new baby, and it has brought a whole new level of joy that I wasn't expecting.
The other surprise is how everyone else has reacted to the news of another boy. In the past, people have offered condolences or half-hearted attempts at enthusiasm when we've shared the gender, so that's what I was expecting this time. But either people are getting better at lying or five boys is just so crazy that it carries its own wonder. I choose to think the latter because that's how I feel. Five boys is miraculously wonderful.
And actually, I have a confession to make: In spite of telling the doctor that she wouldn't see any tears from me, I found myself quietly wiping them away. But it wasn't because I was having a boy. And it wasn't because I wasn't having a girl. As she looked at our baby's brain and his heart and his limbs and his face and his spine, she kept saying things like, "See this? That's exactly what we want to see. You have a perfectly healthy baby."
And that, beyond anything else, is the true wonder and miracle to me. Life is a such a gift, and I feel so incredibly blessed to watch another little one take shape. My heart is full and my tears catch me unawares, both then in that little exam room and every day since.
Photo credit goes to our good friend, James Gardner.
You know I hadn't realised you had a blondie, don't think I've seen a photo of your boys in a row, just love that shot, worth framing.
Yes, exactly, Erin! I think it's a mixed bag of emotions no matter what your family makeup already is. Funny how the "what-ifs" like to plague us!
Thanks for the blog recommendation. It's always fun to read about people who are in a similar situation!
And yes, we have just one little towhead, and I would love it if this one was also blonde!
Yep, totally. I can't wait to hear what you're having!
It's funny how for moms of boys, going into girl territory can be so terrifying. I only have two boys, but before our six month little girl was born, I was a little worried about what it would be like (I am thankful we have opted to wait for the delivery room for the surprise, but it's a hard wait!). There's just something wonderful about boys and boy stuff and boy toys, that makes little girls seem so foreign.
Congratulations on your boy! I love your perspective that the takeaway is that we want this baby, this healthy baby, to be ours, not whatever we or others might have wished. I'm from a family of six and can only say, it's so much fun! The more the merrier!
I know lots of families of all-girls who are equally terrified of the possibility of a boy! :-) I think there's just something comforting in continuing on the well-worn path. And yes, there's an ease to boys that's really nice.
I'm from a big family too, and I agree! Siblings are the best!
You sure know how to make a person feel like a million bucks, Jen. :-) And I'm waiting with bated breath to find out the hair color, too!
Thanks for summing up my feelings so well... We found out yesterday we are having our 5th boy as well! I was prepared for it, like you said, But I am still trying to process that little bit of loss I feel. The shock has not yet worn off (even though deep down I was expecting it- FIVE BOYS?!?!?), but I am grateful for my boys and wouldn't trade them for anything.
A million congratulations, Tracie. The thought of five boys does take some getting used to! :-) Want to move back to Utah and become my next door neighbor? That would be a PARTY.
I cannot express just how much I adore you Amy. I love the fact that you have accepted this role of mothering 5 precious boys so passionately and tenderly. I think many of us wonder the "what ifs," where we experience that feeling of loss, in every major turn of our lives, and I appreciated that you summed it up so beautifully how this experience was for you. I remember when I found out I was having Rosie, I was surprised to feel this sense of loss. I kept wondering if we were going to be missing out on having another boy (don't get me wrong, I was super happy to be having a girl also). I wondered that perhaps Charlie was going to miss out on something because he wasn't going to have a baby brother that would soon turn into his best friend, with the same interests as his. I soon realized, which it sounds like you have too, that everything is as it should be. I'm just so grateful that you are thrilled to have another boy. I feel like we need to hear this perspective more. That it's okay to be so happy about such a large group of boys (or girls for that matter). That you don't have to have kids just so you can experience having a boy and a girl. You can have just boys or just girls and that's great, too.
Brooke, you are the sweetest, and you have just the right perspective too. I love your adorable kids!
So real and true Amy. James and I both loved this post. I am sorry if I was overly shocked or slightly sad as well when I heard the news of boy #5. I was shocked because it really is like getting YATZEE and I was maybe a little sad because I would love to share the experience of girls and girl clothes and commiserate over our girl drama. But I think you really nailed it there at the end of the post. I loved my girls and I was so scared to have boys and not love them the way I love my girls. Then I had boys and love them more than I could have dreamed I would or could. So my new hypothesis is this: "You love what you have because they are yours." :) Hooray for Little Mr. Johnson #5! I can't wait to meet him!
Okay, that Yahtzee comparison might be my favorite thing EVER. That's exactly how I feel.
If you want to see what Sunday mornings are like, you're welcome to borrow Clara anytime for the scream fest that is brought on by minimal hair brushing. Haha. Kidding aside, I love this post and think your thoughts are spot on. It's confusing and emotional and I think there is always a little sense of loss with each baby; for what might have been could have been wonderful and fun too! But I'm growing more confident that our families come together just as they should: healthy or otherwise, mixed genders or all-of-a-kind, with many siblings or few. Thank goodness we're not completely in charge of much in how it all happens!
I also have to say that you are a wonderful mom to your boys (as you would be to girls) and I am thankful to women like you who are raising kind, smart, sweet boys. Those of us with girls are and will be infinitely thankful for the influence of these good boys in the lives of our daughters.
Haha, I think I'll pass! Getting a girl ready might send me into a panic attack.
Thanks for your sweet, nice thoughts. I am trying hard with my boys, and sometimes they blow me away with their thoughtfulness, but other times, I can't believe how rude and mean they are! I'm hoping we're gradually trending up though! Parenting is hard.

State board approves Phil Knight-University of Oregon request after Richard Lariviere warns of 'profound' consequences
By Rachel Bachman, The Oregonian
Ross William Hamilton/The OregonianNike founder Phil Knight walks off the Rose Bowl field Jan. 1 after the Ducks lost to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.
As the clock ticked on Friday's meeting of the State Board of Higher Education, University of Oregon President Richard Lariviere warned of a chill on donations if the board did not approve a
plan by Phil Knight to privately construct an 80,000-square-foot operations center
for the Ducks football team on campus.
How does Knight's gift fit UO's mission? Lariviere's words of warning
"I think that's a pretty simple question... It really doesn't have much to do with the central mission of the University of Oregon. The mission of the University of Oregon is education and research.
"We live in a very odd society in that... every society feels passionately about sports of one sort or another. ... Soccer in most of the rest of the world. People spend billions of dollars on that entertainment. The odd thing in this country is that some significant part of that entertainment world is associated with higher education.
"In my view, there is an unconscionable tolerance for confusion around this. ... Athletics is entertainment, and education and research is why a university exists.
"Now, do I wish that there was as much passion and willingness to part with treasure that focused on the humanities and the social sciences and the natural sciences as there is around football? You bet. That's not the world we live in. And should we be puzzled that a family that have made billions of dollars in the sports industry and love the University of Oregon are interested in giving money to this entertainment enterprise? It's not much of a mystery for me, and I don't think it probably is for anyone.
"If we don't accept this gift, is it likely that the donors will get out of bed tomorrow and say, 'Ah, what were we thinking? We should be giving it to promote Sanskrit at the University of Oregon'? I don't think so.
"If we don't accept this gift, what will be the negative consequences for the university's education and research mission? Probably not much -- immediately, in the short-term. But they could be really, really profound over the longer term. Really profound.
"This is an important gift for our future. So, that's all I have to say on that."
"If we don't accept this gift, what will be the negative consequences for the university's education and research mission?" Lariviere said. "Probably not much -- immediately, in the short-term.
"But they could be really, really profound over the longer term. Really profound. This is an important gift for our future."
When Lariviere finished his remarks, which came at the end of a nearly one-hour discussion of the project, the board hushed. Then the 12-member body swiftly and approved the project with the minimum six "yes" votes, plus four abstentions and two absentees.
Lariviere's comments were some of the starkest ever used by a public official in an open forum to illustrate the stakes of the relationship between Knight, the Nike co-founder and former Ducks runner, and his alma mater.
In recent decades Phil and Penny Knight's donations -- approaching $200 million not including the football building, whose cost was undisclosed -- have transformed Oregon's athletic facilities into some of the most advanced in the nation.
But the projects often progressed in secret, circumventing open-bidding and public-records laws despite being constructed on public land. Private entities funded by Knight have selected contractors for campus projects including a medical-treatment center for athletes, an academic center for athletes and even the basketball arena now under construction financed with $200 million in state-backed bonds.
This latest request came with urgency: The board had to vote on granting a license for the project despite discussing it for the first time on Friday.
"If it's not approved today, that's the end of the deal," Lariviere told the board.
It was the second time a large project backed by Knight came with a quick deadline for public approval. His $100 million pledge to support debt payments for the construction of Matthew Knight Arena was contingent on the Legislature approving $200 million in state bonds for the project by June 1, 2008. That fact came to light on Feb. 9, 2008 -- 20 days before the end of the only legislative session that year.
Typically, campus construction projects employ a competitive-bidding process designed to limit costs and fairly consider all qualified applicants.
At Friday's meeting, representatives of union and building-trades groups spoke of the dire need for the kinds of jobs such a building would supply. But they also voiced concern about approving another project whose details on wages and contractor-selection would be largely hidden from view.
"We just want a project that's transparent," Bob Shiprack, executive secretary of the Oregon State Building and Construction Trades Council, testified.
A few board members also questioned the rush to approve the project, especially given a lack of data about previous projects at Oregon built by the Knight subsidiary of the UO Foundation, Phit LLC.
"I asked the question, 'Why this structure at all? Why not just make the donation to the university to get this done?" Lariviere said. "And the answer that I was given was that on two previous occasions, that's exactly what the donors did. And the cost overruns were over 30 percent, and the delays were over a year in getting the projects done.
"And there was some discussion, as it was characterized to me, of never, ever doing this again. And that got morphed into, well, maybe we could do this in a different way."
After the meeting Lariviere said that although he didn't hear it from the Knights directly, his understanding was that the slow projects were the Knight Library and Knight Law Center. Since then, the Knights' donations to Oregon have focused largely on athletics.
In answering a question toward the meeting's end, Lariviere spoke frankly and sometimes gravely to the board.
"Should we be puzzled that a family that have made billions of dollars in the sports industry and love the University of Oregon are interested in giving money to this entertainment enterprise? It's not much of a mystery for me, and I don't think it probably is for anyone.
"If we don't accept this gift, is it likely that the donors will get out of bed tomorrow and say, 'Ah, what were we thinking? We should be giving it to promote Sanskrit at the University of Oregon'? I don't think so."
