Motor oil can not be compared to gun lubricants for one simple reason...It is meant to be used in HIGH VOLUMES in a CLOSED environment. You use motor oil in quart quantities at a time where you use gun lubricants in drops at a time. Even if you look at Lucas, they even say that their motor oils do not do the trick for guns and they even say that they had to redesign their products to make an oil that would actually do what it is supposed to do in a firearm. Gun lubricants have to be able to maintain lubricity, even when fouled up by firing residue and foreign debris like sand and dirt, if not repel them outright. Motor oil can not handle this kind of abuse, and it has been proven to be the case. People who promote its use even state that the only time it really is acceptable is in a clean environment where you won't be shooting much and your gun won't really be dependent on constant lubrication. Also, motor oil is not a cleaning agent, so you can not compare it to a CLP. If it was so great, why is it not what the military uses?
Comparing motor oils to CLPs is the silliest thing I have ever heard of. Again, motor oil is designed for closed environments, and it shows when the oil is exposed. It grabs onto everything around it and doesn't want to let go. This is why the oil has to be cycled through a filter as the engine is running. Its lubricity properties are only relevant and effective in high volumes where the components are submerged. This is not possible for firearms.
A CLP is a cleaner as well as a lubricant, which most of the times means that it has additives that allow it to penetrate under existing fouling and separate it from the metal surface. Aside from that, you will find that in my testing, CLP will actually prevent fouling from sticking, unlike motor oil which welcomes it.
I constantly hear people saying that they use motor oil for their guns because at least it will be there when things go bad and war breaks out. Like all the lubricants for your guns will just disappear or something. That is about as logical as saying that you will only carry a sharp stick or a rock because at least there will be plenty of those around when things go to hell. I have cleaned so many guns with my single bottle of SLIP2000 Gun Lube and still have half of my 4oz bottle left. With CLP, a little bit goes a long way, and I still have 3/4 of a gallon of Break-Free CLP after 2 years of using it on guns and everything.
Plus, let us use our thinking caps for a second. How many times do you think you will be going out and practicing shooting if things were really to go to hell in a handbag? Even if things did go bad, wouldn't you prepare by buying appropriate quantities of items as you do with other stuff as well, like food and water? Or are you also training your body to absorb the suns rays and eat dirt to prepare for the impending doom?

Q: SQL Unwanted Cartesian Product I've done plenty of joins in SQL before but this one does not want to work - I'm getting a cartesian product and I have no idea why. I have two tables (in this context) - one is for appointments and another for customers. CustomerId is the primary key of the customer table and is the foreign key of the appointment table.
What I'm trying to achieve is to run a query that shows all of the appointments along with the customer's NAME (stored in customer table).
This is my query:
    SELECT a.AppointmentId
    ,a.Subject
    ,a.StartDateTime
    ,c.CustomerId
    ,c.FirstName
    ,c.lastname
FROM shared.Appointment a
INNER JOIN shared.Customer c ON a.CustomerId = c.customerid
WHERE a.BusinessCode = 'bp'
    AND StartDateTime > '2013-02-11'
    AND a.CustomerId > 0
GROUP BY c.customerid
    ,a.AppointmentId
    ,a.Subject
    ,a.CustomerId
    ,a.StartDateTime
    ,c.FirstName
    ,c.lastname
ORDER BY a.AppointmentId;

The result is a horrific cartesian product, which only occurs once I start adding in the first/last name into the select part.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

A: I have just attempted a similar but much simpler query with other tables on the database and am still getting a cartesian product. I believe there is a problem with the database, not with the query. I'm not sure anyone on stack overflow could possibly solve this issue without seeing the database.
Thanks anyway guys.

A: The unexpected cartesian product is often due to a simple typo:
Instead of this:
from shared.Appointment a
    join shared.Customer c on a.CustomerId=c.customerid

Perhaps you typed this:
from shared.Appointment a
    join shared.Customer c on a.CustomerId=a.customerid

A single character will do it.

Q: Separate public / private signature for method If I have a method like this:
private render(componentName: string)

is there a way to add a public signature for this that only allows certain specific strings like
public render(componentName: "Avatar" | "Message" | "Link")

A: You can add two overloads, one for the public interface of the method, and one for the implementation signature of the method.
The implementation signature is not callable from anywhere it is just used for the types of the parameters inside the implementation:
class Cls {
    public render(componentName: "Avatar" | "Message" | "Link"): void
    public render(componentName: string) {
        componentName = "" // componentName is string
    }
    m() {
        this.render("Avatar") // ok
        this.render("Avatar_") // err
    }

}

Playground Link
Note: There is no way to have different accessibility modifiers for different overloads of the same method in TS. You could have different methods instead.
class Cls {
    public render(componentName: "Avatar" | "Message" | "Link"): void {
        this.renderInternal(componentName)
    }
    private renderInternal(componentName: string) {
        componentName = "" // componentName is string
    }
    m() {
        this.render("Avatar") // ok
        this.renderInternal("Avatar_") // ok
    }

}

Playground Link

A: It doesn't seem to be possible to have overloaded signatures with different access modifiers, but you can achieve the desired result using an interface:
interface IFoo {
    render(componentName: "Avatar" | "Message" | "Link"): void;
}

class Foo implements IFoo {
    public render(componentName: string): void {
        // ...
    }
}

const foo: IFoo = new Foo();
foo.render("Message"); // OK
foo.render("unto Caesar that which is Caesar's"); // error

To avoid code duplication when Foo has other members, the IFoo interface can be derived from Foo automatically:
type IFoo = Omit<Foo, 'render'> & {
    render(componentName: "Avatar" | "Message" | "Link"): void;
}

I bought a second hand iphone 6.
The iphone is under AT&T and i want to unlock it.
This device isn't eligible to be unlocked now because it's still under contract.
To pay the early termination fee and unlock the device, call 800.331.0500 or dial 611 from your AT&T wireless phone. You can submit a new request 24 hours after making the payment.
The problem is that i don't have the account of the previous owner.
What can i do to know early termination fee ?
Since you bought it from an individual, you would have to contact them and get them to pay their ETF on the account. Since they sold the phone, I am guessing that they have either paid it, or don't intend to pay it at all. You are totally at their mercy on this one though since they had a signed service agreement/contract with AT&T.
Since the iPhone 6 was released in Sept. 2014, you can be sure that the phone would have no less than 3 months left on the contract, but could have as much as 19 months left, because the phone couldn't have been purchased before 09/2014, and the 2 year contracts were no longer available after early this year, so if it is newer than 5 months old, it wouldn't have a service contract. That is about as good as you can get without working with the original owner who signed the contract with AT&T.
Is it possible to know early termination fee and eventually pay it ?
No, it is not possible for you to pay the termination fee. It is quite possible the original owner just switched to a different phone and has no desire to terminate their service.
.... Or left ATT and skipped out on the bill.
Or just sold their iPhone 6 and got another phone and have no desire to terminate their service.
so no way to unlock ?
Not until the contract expires.
Although this is an older thread, we noticed it is still visited quite a bit and wanted to provide some updated information.
We did have an outage for a few days on the Unlock Portal between 2/27 and 3/3. If your issue occured at this time, please resubmit your request. To get answers to all of your unlock questions, please take a look at our Device Unlock overview page. You can also access the form directly if you are ready to submit. Lastly, if you've already submitted your unlock request, and are looking for a status up, you can check that too!
If you still have questions or an issue, please send us a Private Message so we can assist.
Let us know if you need further assistance. We are here to help!

How Did 'The Night Circus' Author Write A New Book? She Moved To A Home With No Internet
by Emily Burack
Author Erin Morgenstern, courtesy of Allan Amato
Not long after Erin Morgenstern's first book, The Night Circus, came out in 2011, she found herself bombarded with questions about her next book. That second book would take her many years — so long, in fact, that some people on Twitter called her a "one-hit wonder" — and many drafts to complete, but The Starless Sea is finally here.
"It's that sophomore novel terribleness!" she says, with a laugh.
The Night Circus spent seven weeks on The New York Times bestseller list and was translated into 37 languages. A film adaptation is in the works, to be produced by the same man who secured the film rights to the Harry Potter series. Head to #TheNightCircus on Tumblr or Instagram and you'll see that fans of this book are as dedicated as fans of J.K. Rowling's series.
"You have something very large to live up to," she says. "I had to try to forget that as much as I could."
This all came as a surprise to Morgenstern. "I thought it was going to be a weird book that maybe a few weird people would like and that would be fine," she says. There are certainly more than a few weird people; two million copies of the book have sold in the United States alone.
Which makes releasing a follow-up even harder.
Her solution? Log-off Twitter, and ignore the internet. She was able to drown out all the noise when she and her husband moved to the Berkshires, in Western Massachusetts, in 2016.
"We did not have cable or internet for two years," she says. "It was a very weird time to not have cable or internet, in that 2016 to 2018 window. But on the positive side, it really did allow me to get into [a mindset] that it's just me and this book and I don't have to think about what's outside this building and what people are going to say to me on Twitter, because I don't have enough cell service to check Twitter right now!"
The lack of cell service in her new home was key to writing, rewriting, and finally finishing that "terrible" sophomore novel: The Starless Sea.
The novel is worth the wait. At its core, The Starless Sea is a story about stories. The main tale centers on Zachary, a graduate student in Vermont who discovers a very old book of fairy tales, which mysteriously contains a story about his childhood. Zachary, surprised and confused, sets out to discover how his life ended up in a centuries-old book and, in the process, discovers a magical underground world — a library meets an art museum — called The Starless Sea.
"When I started writing the book, I thought it would be very much about books and it ended up expanding into a book about stories," Morgenstern says. She wanted to address the idea that life doesn't need to be "story shaped," despite the fact that so many people search for "that arc and that neatness" of stories in their own lives.
I start with a place in my head, and my writing process is about trying to find the narrative that can tell the story of that place.
"It was hard, at some points, to be writing this big sprawling meta-book about these giant ideas, and try to have it be even vaguely coherent," she says.
The Starless Sea functions as both an ode to those who love books and an engrossing fantasy epic. Morgenstern balances multiple stories, some of which are set in an entirely fantastical universe, others in a world that is very familiar to our own.
When I asked about how she plots a book like this, Morgenstern laughs and says, "You don't."
"I'm not a plotter," she says. "I start with a place in my head, and my writing process is about trying to find the narrative that can tell the story of that place. This one was a big sprawling mess for a very long time, and I probably wrote the whole thing over three or four times. It was a lot about coming up with more story than I would ever need, and then chiseling it away to figure out where the important pieces were."
The magical otherworld of The Starless Sea, she says, "just showed up in her head."
"It's like you have a dream location," she says, "and it makes sense in your dream. Then when you're awake, you have figure out what was that place?"
From there, she attempted to understand every single aspect of the world. "When it's just sort of imaginary architecture, I always try to explore every level that I can," she says. "What does this space smell like? How is it lit? What does it really feel like to be in it? Because that helps me get into it."
Scent and lighting are key to making a fantasy world feel real, Morgenstern says. "Scent is so underrated in writing in particular, because writers so rarely will describe how they smell. I was a lighting design student when I was a theater major in college, and so I always think about that. Lighting changes the mood of a space so drastically! A room lit with overhead fluorescent lights feel so different than the same room lit with candles. So those are [the] things I like to layer in for making it really feel like a real space."
The novel also feels "real" because the main character does. Zachary comments on everything happening to him, as anyone who has ever read a fantasy novel and then became the main character in a fantasy novel would. "Is this a quest or a sub-quest?" he asks himself at one point. In another scene, he is confronted with a glass that is carved with the word "drink." "Zachary recalls innumerable fairy-tale warnings against eating or drinking in underworlds and at the same time realizes he is incredibly thirsty," Morgenstern writes. "He suspects this is the only way forward." So he drinks, and continues on.
"I always wanted Zachary to be that self-aware fantasy novel character," Morgenstern explains. "It's something I heard Lev Grossman say once, 'Why wasn't Harry Potter reading the heck out of the Narnia books?' He would've been in his closet under the stairs reading Narnia! I definitely wanted that slight awareness of 'This is weird, but this is familiar.'"
The experience of reading The Starless Sea will be both weird and familiar, and probably evoke many other feelings from readers, too.
"I hope that each reader finds something about the book that resonates for them personally," she says." That's one of the best parts about writing for me: I get to put it out there, but the reading experience is collaborative between the reader and the book, so they get to make it their own."
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern is available now.

doesnt everybody go through some sort of tribulation to get to GOD or if they were lucky enough to be raised by there parents with GOD dont they go through some sort of self made tribulation in there walk with GOD, isnt that what shapes you into the person you are your own failed attempts, to altimatly realize you must just follow GOD, listen to GOD, be obident to GOD to be fully happy, joyful, wise, see your perpose as human being being unvailed to you as you walk in his will and not yours.
the last 8 years and the only way I cant go into public is to wear a hat because when I have anxiety attacks I sweat and the way I keep it under control long enough to overcome the attack before it gets extreme is to wear a hat that soaks the sweat.its nonsense I know but a security that has helped me to keep from becoming a total recluse listening to church on the radio.
Maybe I should stop going to church since my only way out is considered disrespecful to God.Sadly things arent so cut and dry for me.
peace be with you,friend. i welcome you to the family of God,first. now,what ever was your life before the lord it was sin in death. now,you must trust in the lord in all things. good or bad. this is your lesson in your christian life. remeber, the lord made a promise to you, i am with you always. in the past you trusted in man. man, can't help you to the kingdom. the lord is purifing you and preparing you for the day you see Him in His glory. you must trust in the lord as much as abram. reflect on his call of sacrifice (his own son).through all your trials keep your eyes on the lord. Peace be with you always,friend.
peace be with you. i read a few comments about this woman and the demon. my view is this, there are THINGS that happen in this world that we can't explain,but one thing is for sure.we are not alone. to thoughs who truly study the WORD OF GOD, you know this is satans realm. and a spiritual war is at hand. so,you must have faith as much as a mustard seed. sorry for your lose. he sleeps with the lord. and what attacked was unexplainable,yes. to say it was a demon that attacked you is to easy.visit your doctor. health and faith is God's plan for you. not fear of attacks in your sleep.read your bible and pray,my friend.
because not all of the fallen angels had sinned...yet!
Why don't you concetrate on something productive like growing spiritually or trying to know Christ on the level that Paul did instead of causing dissension with all this other garbage.
God said let us make man in our own image who's the our referring to. we are made in three parts body,soul,spirit but we are one creature. There is one God,but three parts Father,Son,and Holy Spirit.
Matthew from LA is very accurate in what he says. Jesus died for all. predestination is also correct. God predestined all of us to be saved. Some will never accept their "destiny"!
steveng-i disagree. the ones who take the mark will not be fooled. they will do so knowingly. how would God,our loving father, allow one he calls his child be decieved into hell.
gordon, i just want to say that there IS an everlasting hell. the fire part can be debated in several different ways,but the worst part will be total separation from God. never able to call on Him again!!!!
the Bible says Jesus bore the sin of the world when He died. Therefore all are called and ALL ARE justified because He died for all sin past,present,and future. but not all will be glorified because not all will accept him.
You could have bigger problems now besides adultery. You obviously do not fear God. There is a very good chance that you have been deceiving yourself and that you aren't even a Christian. I don't want you to burn in hell. So you better start repenting and bearing some fruit.

CN Tower  (Canadian National Tower)  i Torontos södra innerstad är ett 553 meter högt TV-torn och stadens landmärke. Antenner finns både på 305 meters höjd och i toppen, tornet har en roterande restaurang.

CN Tower är ett stort turistmål i Kanada och har ett glasgolv som besökare kan gå på. Vid klart väder går det att skåda till Niagarafallen.

Bakgrund
Tornet uppfördes 1976 som radio- och tv-mast på tidigare bangård- och lokstallsmark tillhörande Canadian National Railway.

CN Tower var världens högsta fristående byggnadsverk och världens högsta torn när det invigdes 1976. Tornet innehade båda rekorden i 34 år, tills Burj Khalifa respektive Canton Tower färdigställdes åren 2007 och 2010. Sedan dess har CN Tower passerats i höjd av flera byggnadsverk och torn, men ligger fortfarande på 10-i-topplistan inom båda kategorierna.

CN Tower finns med på den lista över moderna världens sju underverk som American Society of Civil Engineers sammanställde 1995.

r: - - blue ? Paper game for two players.
Plasm - For two players. A spreading, surrounding, swallowing game.
Players score by surrounding the shaded areas of the board.
Players start by marking an "X" or "O" in one pentagon anywhere on the board. Each player´s move, thereafter, must be adjacent to one of his previous moves.
If a player uses all of his adjacent pentagons, he may play anywhere on the board; however, his following moves must be in adjacent pentagons. The use of different colored pencils is recommended.
Players keep track of scores by initialling the shaded areas with "X" or "O" as they are surrounded. Both players´ marks may border on a shaded area but only the player who finishes surrounding the area gets the score. See Diagram 1.
The player who scores 51 or more points.
Total number of points - 101.


Making wood shavings and generating sawdust is extremely therapeutic. That's especially true when the effort ends up in something nice. The main problem, though, is that between work and so many other things going on, there isn't enough time to make shavings and sawdust.

Aromatic, fun and easy drinking, this wine is great with food or without. The name 'Stump Jump' relates to the significant South Australian invention – the Stump Jump plough. This plough became a popular piece of machinery for ploughing fields because of its ability to ride over stumps and gnarled "mallee" Eucalypt roots and snags, saving valuable time and resources by not stopping the draught horse.

Israel and Sneaker Advice: BDS Edition - by Jonathan Marks
...I happen to be in the market for a new pair of sneakers. Perhaps I'll buy a pair of New Balance sneakers. New Balance, in spite of years of BDS pressure, has maintained its relationship to the Jerusalem Marathon and produced its official shoe this year. Perhaps Reebok's craven executives will consider following New Balance's example.
Jonathan Marks..
Commentary Magazine..
15 May '16
In the latest BDS dust-up, the sneaker company Reebok has distanced itself from a sneaker commemorating Israel's Independence Day. Although the story appears to be the result of a mix-up, Reebok's reaction is nonetheless deplorable.
The blue and white shoe, meant to evoke Israel's flag, was to have "Israel 68" on the heel, marking 68 years of Israel's independence. The shoe was not designed or meant to be sold by Reebok. Rather an individual, not employed by Reebok, designed it, using the "design your own" feature of Reebok's website, with the intention of auctioning one pair off as a collector's item. But Reebok Israel promoted the design and announced plans to auction the shoes on its own Facebook page, as a one-time, Independence Day release.
This announcement, predictably, generated outraged releases from the usual suspects. "Reebok Tramples on Palestinians," one read.
So Reebok made a run for it. They said, truly enough, that Reebok International had nothing to do with the shoe. But a representative added, according to the Jerusalem Post, that Reebok "does not allow its sportswear to be politicized and refrains from distributing shoes tied to national emblems or countries."
But first, the latter claim is simply and demonstrably false. Reebok collaborated with a German sneaker boutique to distribute a shoe, "featuring some German military inspiration," with a German flag patch on its tongue. And Reebok hardly refrains from using other national emblems that some people find offensive.
But second, and more importantly, Reebok accepted the premise that shoes celebrating the independence of Israel were, by virtue of that fact "politicized." We are used to supporters of BDS forgetting to pretend that they are merely against Israel's presence in the West Bank, and making it clear that they are simply against Israel. We are not used to international companies agreeing that the mere act of celebrating Israel's independence is "politicized."
What Reebok should have said is "although we did not design this particular sneaker, we have designed or distributed sneakers celebrating nations other than Israel before and reserve the right to design or distribute sneakers celebrating Israel as well."
I happen to be in the market for a new pair of sneakers. Perhaps I'll buy a pair of New Balance sneakers. New Balance, in spite of years of BDS pressure, has maintained its relationship to the Jerusalem Marathon and produced its official shoe this year. Perhaps Reebok's craven executives will consider following New Balance's example.

Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky continues to keep it real. The 34-year-old, who admitted in July that she has been struggling with her postpartum body, Instagrammed a shirtless photo of herself on Monday, November 5.
"When I look at myself in the mirror I can't help but notice that my hips are wider than they used to be, my wrinkles are deeper than when I was in my 20's, and my stomach has lumps and bumps that didn't used to be there," the Ali Luvs blogger wrote. But Fedotowsky, who shares Molly, 2, and 5-month-old Riley, with her husband, Kevin Manno, is learning to be kinder to herself.
The lifestyle expert and radio host, 35, tied the knot in March 2017.

EPA Considers Banning Or Restricting Degreaser Use
EPA will examine the risks resulting from the manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce and use of trichloroethylene, as well as its manner of disposal.
The EPA announced on March 30th its intent to seek input from small businesses, nonprofit organizations and local governments to formulate a potential rule on the use of trichloroethylene (TCE). According to the EPA, "TCE is used primarily as a solvent to remove grease from metal parts … closely associated with the metal and automotive industries." Specifically, the EPA will examine the risks resulting from the manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce and use of TCE, as well as its manner of disposal.

She allured me with all her charming pleasures.
Peaceful moon and her heart full of treasures.
I was unconscious, I was ignorant of all those paper-flowers she scented.
The outer layer and those glamorous experiences, very much glittered.
But the inside, the very kernel, was quite bitter.
As soon as I divested her of all the illusions and attached meanings.
I came face-to-face with her and my soul was screaming.
I analyzed my motion and realized that everything was same, I never really traveled.
Everything became lucid, that my existence was in crisis.
And guess what she calls herself, nothing else but, "Human Life"!
Just so that I can have a sound sleep, all the doors of harm you shut.
Your smiling face has always been and will always be my biggest reward.
Your are my living god, please never ever separate.
And I pray to good lord, that all your wishes come true!!

Q: Cannot connect to Azure MySQL from Laravel app I have a Laravel App that is using MySQL as its main DB. We are now trying to implement the Azure MySQL service, but the usernames comes with an '@' in it.
For example, if my server name is "test", then to connect from cli:

mysql -htest.mysql.database.azure.com -u'someuser@test' -p

I can connect from Java and Go with no problem, but Laravel can't handle the '@' in the username. It takes the string after '@' as the host and tries to connect to it, but it doesn't resolve to any IP, so the connection fails.
I have tried to escape the sign like 'user\@test', 'user@test' and 'userU+0040test', but nothing works. The server always returns this error:

SQLSTATE[HY000] [9002] The connection string may not be right. Please visit portal for references

The Azure portal shows the code to connect using mysqli, and that works, but I cannot use that from Laravel (I think?).
How could I make this connection work?
Thanks

A: Try using double qoutes around your username. Like
e.g  "someuser@test"


Health issues continue to plague Milwaukee.
Bucks center Pau Gasol is expected to miss a month with an ankle injury, according to an ESPN report.
Gasol has only averaged 1.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in his three games with Milwaukee since signing with the Bucks early March. But some key players could also miss some important games in the postseason.
Nikola Mirotic (thumb) and Malcolm Brogdon (foot) could reportedly miss some games in the first round of the playoffs as well.
The Bucks are 54-19 and hold the best record in the NBA this year. But a lack of depth due to injury could spell defeat for them in the playoffs.
Milwaukee will face Cleveland on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Q: Vbox guest does not see new size of resized disk I resized a VDI disk to 30 GB (while Vbox and guest were shutdown):
VBoxmanage modifyhd MyLinux.vdi --resize 30000

Vbox now shows the new size in the GUI.
But the guest does not see the resized disk.
When using fdisk -l the old size is displayed. Same goes for every other command I tried.
Host is Win10, Guest ist Fedora25
What am I missing?

A: Apparently this does not work when snapshots are used (see this question).
To solve this problem I created a clone of the VM from a snapshot.
This new VM then shows the correct disk size in Vbox and the guest.

People in Bedfordshire can find mental health support through an audio guide
The Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group has a range of mental health self-help guides, covering over 23 mental health subjects in audio form.
The guides have been written by clinical psychologists and are available to download in print or listen to as an audio file, reports Bedfordshire News.
Dr Judy Baxter, Clinical Director with BCCG and a GP said: "We wanted to have high quality information easily available which could help people take steps to improve their mental health. The guides are meant as an introduction to mental health self-help techniques, which for some people, may be all that is needed."
The self-help guides are not a substitute for the support of a health professional or mental health specialist. Specialist mental health services in Bedfordshire are provided by East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT).
John Wilkins, Deputy Chief Executive for ELFT, and Managing Director for Bedfordshire Mental Health and Wellbeing Service said: "We welcome the self-help guides which can provide valuable information for people who have concerns about a wide number of issues which affect their mental or emotional wellbeing. They will support people to begin to make small changes themselves and can complement the support given by a therapist or mental health professional."
The guides are part of a self-help campaign, called Five Ways to Wellbeing that BCCG is running with Central Bedfordshire and Bedford Borough councils.

Q: How to migrate from SimpleMembership to ASP.NET.Identity Migrating from MVC4 to MVC5 and want to use ASP.NET Identity too but I am struggling to find anything that covers everything I think I need to do to migrate the Identity. Migrating an Existing Website from SimpleMembership to ASP.NET Identity suggests all I need to do is create an ApplicationUser and migrate the data, and other web searches give me sql scripts and passowrd hashing advice. But there are other loose ends that I'd like to clear up before I jump in.
First - I have code to initialise the membership system in my Seed method:
if (!WebSecurity.Initialized)
    WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection(Config.ConnectionStringName,
        Config.UsersTableName,
        Config.UsersIDColumn,
        Config.UserNameColumn,
        autoCreateTables: true);

So that needs to go right?
Second - it looks like I need an IdentityDbContext. So should I change my existing context to inherit that?
i.e. instead of my current code public class SID2013Context : DbContext do this: public class SID2013Context : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser>
Will that generate a migration that creates the new tables I need to support ASP.NET Identity?
Once I've done that I should be able to pull in the AccountController, Views, ViewModels and start up code that is generated for an MVC5 project.
Can anyone answer the specific questions here and/or point me to a better resource?

A: I realised that the website I linked to in my question is telling you how to migrate to Identity tables, but still use SimpleMembership. I want to use Identity throughout, so I created an empty MVC application using Visual Studio so that I could copy in the code I wanted and fix it up. Here are the steps I followed to get Login and Logout working:

*

*Added ApplicationUser.cs to my Models project

*Added IdentityConfig.cs to my App_Start folder

*Added Startup.Auth.cs to my App_Start folder

*Added AccountController.cs to my Controllers folder (renamed existing controller)

*Added Startup.cs to root folder

*Added AccountViewModels.cs to ViewModels folder

*Changed my context to inherit IdentityDbContext (it does indeed mean that new tables are created in a migration)

*Added the required NuGet packages and fixed up all the namespaces

*Project now builds

*But Add-Migration gave an error ... "EntityType IdentityUserRole has no key defined"

*....solved that by adding a call to base.OnModelCreating in my override

*Add-Migration & Update-Database - adds the tables required

*Added my custom fields in UserProfile to ApplicationUser and updated the database

*Used sql (in a migration) to copy data from old tables to new tables. Sql included here. NB need to populate SecurityStamp with a Guid to prevent error during Login

*That's got Login and Logout working

*Removed UserProfile, SimpleRoleProvider and RoleManager classes - replacing the code where necessary.

*Removed references to WebMatrix.Data and WebMatrix.WebData dlls

*Removed <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="simple"> and <membership defaultProvider="simple"> from web.config

You don't need to be on a driving holiday of Germany to experience the Romantic Road (Romantische Strasse). If you don't like driving or only have a short time in Frankfurt or Munich, you can actually travel by bus and experience the Romantic Road.
Touring Tours & Travel is a company that has been running coaches along Germany's oldest scenic route for six decades. The company has been transporting visitors along the Romantic Road for as long as the Romantic Road existed.
When the Romantic Road was created in 1950, the founding fathers were quick to recognize the need to provide transport connections in the area, particularly for international visitors. (How I wish these people would organize our transport system!) The former railway authorities in Augsburg introduced the Romantic Road long-distance bus route in the spring of 1950, and up till today, the coaches still provide a link to Frankfurt and Munich international airports.
Touring Tours & Travel coaches leave Frankfurt and Füssen at 08:00 am from mid-April to October. Depending on the direction of travel, they pass the Residenz Palace in Würzburg, drive along the vineyards in the Tauber Valley, and then head to Bad Mergentheim, Weikersheim and Rothenburg ob der Tauber where they make a lunch stop. They also make stops at the medieval towns of Dinkelsbühl , Nördlingen and Augsburg where anyone wishing to get to Munich can catch the train to the Bavarian capital. From Augsburg, the journey continues towards the famous castles of King Ludwig, Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau. Photo opportunity stops are also made at Feuchtwangen and the Wieskirche church which is a UNESCO world heritage site along with Roman border defenses (Limes) near Dinkelsbühl and the Würzburg Residenz Palace and also on the Romantic Road.
Travellers can break the journey whenever they wish. If you're cycling or walking the route, you can use the service for luggage transfer.
Tickets can be purchased online and also on the coach. For more information about bus schedules, fares and booking tickets refer to Europbus website at www.romanticroadcoach.de. Touring Tours & Travel also does Romantic Road tours, as do Viator who have a range of packages covering the route.
We will be travelling from Wuerzburg to Fussen at the end of May. We have a Eurail pass. Should we take the train or the bus? It seems that if we travel by train we will be able to get off and visit some towns on the route. The bus ride seems longer.
The bus journey takes longer because it stops for half an hour in main towns like Weikersheim, Rothenburg, Dinkelsbuhl, Nordlingen and Augsburg which allows you time to have a quick look-around the town centre. The Romantic Road bus takes you right into the historic centre of the Romantic Road towns whereas the train stations are usually a bit further out. For example, in Wurzburg, the Romantic Road bus stops in front the Residenz, whereas the central station is about 13 minutes walk away.
We spent three weeks exploring the Romantic Road towns by bus and found it a very convenient way to get around. Along the way, the bus takes you past beautiful countryside and through the charming towns and villages. The train will certainly get you to the main towns faster, but you don't see so much. You'll also need to consider if there are good train connections for the stops that you wish to make.
In my opinion, the Romantic Road is best explored by car or bus.


Abstract. Maternal effects can influence offspring phenotype with short- and long-term consequences. Yet, how the social environment may influence egg composition is not well understood. Here, we investigate how laying order and social environment predict maternal effects in the sociable weaver, Philetairus socius, a species that lives in massive communal nests which may be occupied by only a few to 100+ individuals in a single nest. This range of social environments is associated with variation in a number of phenotypic and life-history traits. We investigate whether maternal effects are adjusted accordingly. We found no evidence for the prediction that females might benefit from modifying brood hierarchies through an increased deposition of androgens with laying order. Instead, females appear to exacerbate brood reduction by decreasing the costly production of yolk mass and antioxidants with laying order. Additionally, we found that this effect did not depend on colony size. Finally, in accordance with an expected increased intensity of environmental stress with increasing colony size, we found that yolk androgen concentration increased with colony size. This result suggests that females may enhance the competitive ability of offspring raised in larger colonies, possibly preparing the offspring for a competitive social environment.
This study was conducted at Benfontein Game Farm near Kimberley, Northern Cape, South Africa during the summer of 2004–2005. Eight of the approximately 30 colonies were included in this study (see Benfontein). The size of the eight colonies varied from 8 to 128 individuals.
The authors note that variation in colony size may influence competition for resources, and affect social interaction between females (reflected by steroid or carotenoid levels in the yolks of the offspring). Furthermore, colony size may be associated with the prevalence of parasites and disease, which may impose selection for maternal investment of antioxidants to enhance their young's immune system.
The authors found that both laying sequence and social environment, as reflected by colony size, were associated with maternal effects. Later-laid eggs were heavier (with larger egg volume), but with lower yolk mass and lower concentrations of total carotenoids and vitamin E components, than earlier-laid eggs. The relationship between laying sequence and maternal effects was not influenced by colony size.

Clean hands and giving hearts
By Hedda T. Schupak
The family behind GOJO, maker of Purell hand sanitizer, has created a multifaceted enterprise that enables family members to pursue their individual and collective passions in a variety of ways.
It's almost impossible to walk into a hospital, supermarket or public bathroom without encountering a GOJO product. Though Akron, Ohio-based GOJO Industries Inc. is best known for its Purell brand of hand sanitizer, its owners' mission goes far beyond keeping hands clean. Through a unique broad-based structure called the Kanfer Family Enterprise, the family that owns GOJO has reinvented the classic family business model to create an organization that allows every family member to work in his or her preferred setting, yet still be part of the family business.
GOJO was founded in 1946 by Jerome (Jerry) and Goldie Lippman. Like many American women, Goldie Lippman worked in a factory during World War II, making tires. Her hands were always filthy, and only harsh chemicals could clean them effectively.
Working with a science professor at nearby Kent State University, Jerry Lippman developed an effective but gentle industrial hand cleaner. Under the name GoJer, Jerry made the product in his garage at night and sold it from the trunk of his car by day; Goldie managed the books. Soon they changed the name to GOJO and more innovations followed, including the first portion-control dispenser, which Jerry patented in 1952.
GOJO's customer base expanded to food service and health care, as well as industrial and automotive. The invention of Purell in 1988 was a turning point for the company, although it would be another nine years before Purell hit the consumer market and became a household name. The company today makes a variety of soaps, lotions, wipes and disinfectants for both skin and surfaces.
Having no children of their own, Jerry and Goldie Lippman doted on their nephew, Joseph (Joe) Kanfer, the only son of Goldie's sister, Marcella, and her husband, Paul Kanfer. Though Jerry had some distant cousins who worked off and on at GOJO, there was always a sense that GOJO would someday pass to Joe. But Jerry Lippman never pressured his nephew.
"I think I always felt that it was open to me, but it was unstated," Joe says. "It didn't really crystallize till I had to make a decision. I had finished college and I was going to go off to Wall Street, but my mother was dying and I didn't want to leave town, so I started working with Jerry. He said, 'If you want to do this, OK; otherwise, I'm going to sell the business.' I said, 'OK I'm in.' " Joe, now 69, became president of GOJO in 1973 at age 26, and Jerry moved into the role of mentor and philanthropist.
GOJO is the engine of the Kanfer Family Enterprise (KFE), but only Joe and his daughter Marcella Kanfer Rolnick, 44, work at GOJO. Joe is chairman, and Marcella is vice chair. All the other family members—Joe's wife, Pamela; Marcella's husband, Joshua Rolnick; siblings Mamie Kanfer Stewart (34), Ketti Kanfer Zigdon (33) and Jaron Kanfer (30), and their respective spouses—work in the wide range of industries and philanthropies that KFE supports. Their individual ventures include such diverse industries as metal plating and men's apparel, and their philanthropic work covers areas like education and climate change. KFE's organizational structure is highly complex, but its mission is simple: to make the world a better place. Everything in the enterprise, whether for- profit or non-profit, must allow the Kanfers to create meaning and value together as a family.
Marcella—named for Joe's late mother—came up with the idea. "In 2006, I conceived of the notion of an expanded family enterprise when it became apparent that my siblings who were coming of age as adults were unlikely to choose careers within GOJO, but they showed interest in entrepreneurism and/or working with family," she explains.
Joe was thrilled with her plan, which assuaged any disappointment over not bringing the rest of his children into GOJO. All the kids had had summer jobs at GOJO growing up, but only Marcella returned after college.
As Jerry did with him, Joe told his children GOJO was available to them, but he didn't pressure them. "What you do with new facts is create a new situation, and that's how we created KFE," Joe says. Because they do so much as a family outside of GOJO, he says, "It's not like they're disconnected from family work."
KFE has three domains: for-profit ventures, non-profit ventures and philanthropy, and family bonding and infrastructure. Every family member and spouse is involved in some way. The fourth-generation children (ages 1 to 11) are introduced to the family enterprise through age-appropriate games and projects at family retreats held every summer. Marcella Kanfer Rolnick and Joshua Rolnick have four children, Mamie and Justin Stewart have two, and Ketti and Don Zigdon have six—four of whom are quadruplets.
"We created a themed fund in two- to three-year learning cycles on topics we 10 adults choose together to study and determine how we want to make a difference," says Marcella. "Our first cycle was on hunger and poverty. Our current cycle is on global climate change. So, for instance, last summer we visited a family shelter that was home to children their age, and this summer we built solar ovens. We will soon contemplate how to structure opportunities for Gen 4 to opt in to collective family philanthropy."
GOJO: The mother ship
GOJO serves as KFE's financial engine and anchor, as well as a lab of sorts for business practices that could translate to other KFE ventures. GOJO has more than 2,000 employees around the world. Most are in northeast Ohio, where the company has factories in Cuyahoga Falls and Wooster. In 2014, it added three manufacturing facilities in France with the acquisition of Laboratoires Prodene Klint.
In her school days, Marcella worked at GOJO in dispenser assembly, market research, microbiology, quality assurance and library development. After college she participated in the creation of the instant hand sanitizer category in professional markets and in the consumer launch of Purell, worked on the education market development team, and created and led the original Internet development/e-business team. She and Joe today have strategic roles.
Mark Lerner, GOJO's non-family president, is "like a brother to me," Joe says. Lerner has worked with the family for 30 years. "I have found the biggest advantage is a highly collaborative, dialogue-rich, team-based approach to leadership," Lerner says. "This has resulted in better decisions and a great deal of personal growth and fulfillment. The biggest challenges have been maintaining high organizational agility and flexibility to both keep up with the entrepreneurial drive of Joe and Marcella and simultaneously execute current strategies and plans."
Carey Jaros, GOJO's chief strategy officer, also serves as secretary to the board of directors. She moved into the CSO position in May 2016 after 18 months as president of Walnut Ridge Strategic Management Company, which Joe and Marcella founded in 2011 as a family office and management services firm to support the wide-ranging activities of the Kanfer family.
"As a director on the GOJO board, I learned the business top-down from 50,000 feet," Jaros says. "I also had many opportunities to talk to Joe and Marcella one-on-one about the business, to hear the 'kitchen table' stories about Jerry and Goldie, about some of the great successes and biggest lessons learned." Jaros says her understanding of how GOJO fits into the broader context of KFE brings important perspective to her role at the company.
"I always feel like I have a voice at the table, and the expectation is that I will speak up if I have an idea or a concern," Jaros says.
"I suppose we face the typical challenges of family companies with respect to generational transitions, but I feel like we are doing all of the work we need to do," Jaros says, "including having an intentionally built, multigenerational family and non-family leadership team, to ensure GOJO continues to deliver outstanding value to all of our stakeholders for many, many years to come."
Michael Moran, Walnut Ridge's managing partner, says the family office is "committed to pursuing not only the family's financial goals, but also their human and culture goals."
Mental models provide a framework to guide company stakeholders. The GOJO Alignment Model incorporates the company's Purpose, Vision, Values, Critical Success Factors, Strategy, Process, Structure and Competencies. The GOJO Alignment Model, found in every conference room and accessible via the company intranet, is constantly reinforced, says Lerner. "At every one of our quarterly stakeholders' meetings, we discuss our GOJO Purpose and provide a story from customers about the lives we touch," Lerner says. The GOJO Purpose—"Saving lives and making life better through well-being solutions"—is the "north star," Lerner says.
Company leaders must "walk the talk," Lerner says. "In many meetings, we bring the GOJO Purpose, Vision and Values into the conversation to help frame decision criteria," he says.
Family businesses beyond GOJO
Though Marcella's siblings opted not to join GOJO after college, KFE is an investor in each of their respective ventures. But they also must invest their personal capital along with the KFE funding, says Marcella—and their chosen venture can't run counter to KFE's core values, Joe notes.
One KFE investment venture is Meeteor, a tech startup run by Mamie Kanfer Stewart. Inspired by GOJO's practices, Meeteor helps companies spend less time in unproductive meetings. Mamie's husband, R. Justin Stewart, manages family real estate properties: residences in Chatauqua and Brooklyn, N.Y., as well as a small office in Brooklyn. In addition, he founded and runs Blue Cube Properties, which does small-scale, multifamily, green real estate development in Brooklyn. The family enterprise also has co-invested in Blue Cube.
"I appreciate how KFE includes more than just business," says Mamie Stewart. "The three domains [business, philanthropy and family infrastructure] allow each person in the family to connect in ways that are meaningful to him or her. Personally, during the past 10 or so years, I've managed one of our foundations, co-led family culture building, and then started my own business. I've moved fluidly through the KFE framework, which has allowed me to explore and find what works best for me.
"It also allows us to build relationships with each other that are based on different types of engagement. We can talk about business, philanthropy, values, legacy and more, which enables us to learn about each other, inspire one another, and bring our full selves to the table."
Ketti Zigdon (née Kanfer) is a stay-at-home mother. Her husband, Don, together with the Kanfer family and a friend, created an investment group called KBZ Partners in 2013, looking for companies poised for growth. KBZ invested in Lake City Plating, an Ohio-based metal finishing company whose plating technology enhances parts used in the automotive and electrical utility industries. In addition to being an investor in the company, Don Zigdon is its controller. Ketti, meanwhile, serves as secretary of the Lippman-Kanfer Family Foundation, one of KFE's philanthropic arms.
The youngest sibling, Jaron Kanfer, and his wife, Sara, run a men's apparel company called UNKNWN. The family co-invested with NBA basketball legend and Akron native LeBron James to create a new fashion brand. Based in Florida and with a strong online presence, UNKNWN offers sneakers, modern streetwear and designer apparel.
With family members living in Ohio, New York and Florida, technology plays a critical role in running KFE. Though the family frequently gathers in person for meetings and retreats, day-to-day interaction occurs via telecommunication.
Joe Kanfer, meanwhile, is a venture investor in (non-KFE) biotech startups in both the United States and Israel. Pamela Kanfer, a teacher, is involved with KFE's education-based philanthropies. She also serves, in Marcella's words, as "a thoughtful and astute sounding board for my father as he contemplates business strategy. Pam played a key role in convincing my father to launch Purell in the retail market for consumers."
Marcella's husband, Joshua, a journalist and blogger, has been engaged in Democratic politics for many years.
"We are evolving our approach across KFE to improve our effectiveness as we grow, so we are investing time in planning our path and strategy that will set the table for what we want to accomplish in the future with multiple generations," Moran says.
KFE has no prerequisites for family members who want to join. But there's no free ride, either: KFE will be a co-investor—not the sole investor—in the siblings' and in-laws' various ventures.
"We believe in giving family members the opportunity to learn on the job as long as they have skin in the game," says Marcella. "In addition to their functional roles, we give them a seat at the governance table as well, helping them develop the ability to think about the business holistically."
Joe is a proponent of learning on the job. "My uncle allowed me to take an awful lot of responsibility at an early age, so I never had this kind of rigidity that you read about elsewhere, where you've got to go work elsewhere first to prove yourself or you have to start at the bottom and work your way up," Joe says. "My uncle's idea was more to put you in a little over your head, and you learn by trial and error.
"I made tons of mistakes," Joe acknowledges. "I was very aggressive in trying new things, and in retrospect some were not very good or successful. I think that's true of most entrepreneurs. If they knew how hard it would be or the risk levels, they wouldn't have done it, and you read more about the successes than the failures. I worked hard and stayed with it and, frankly, I got lucky. And my uncle, to his credit, would say it was a blessing in disguise when I screwed up. I'd ask why and he'd say, 'It could have been worse.' "
Philanthropy is the second of KFE's three domains. "Since 1966, when Goldie and Jerry founded Jerome Lippman Family Foundation, our family has been passionately committed to contributing to the betterment of the world and doing so collaboratively rather than individually," says Marcella. But in true KFE fashion, there's also a mechanism—through matching funds—that allows individual family members to contribute to causes they're individually passionate about.
"It's about getting people to follow their own passion, not roping them into my passion," says Joe.
The original Jerome Lippman Family Foundation focused primarily on Akron-based Jewish organizations, especially schools. In the 1990s, the foundation refined its mission with a special emphasis on lifelong Jewish education, helping people in communities at risk, and fostering high performance and innovation in Jewish non-profit organizations. In 2000, the foundation name was changed to the Lippman Kanfer Family Foundation (LKFF). Today, its purpose is to "repair and enrich the world through thriving communities."
After Jerry's death in 2005 at age 92 (Goldie died in 1972), the foundation sought to build on his legacy and incorporate the family's diverse philanthropic interests as the third generation became involved. In 2013, the family launched a sister foundation, the Lippman Kanfer Foundation for Living Torah (LKFLT), which supports Jewish organizations devoted to human rights, social justice and Jewish life.
While the emphasis of both foundations is on Jewish life, compatible non-Jewish organizations also benefit from LKFF funding, such as the Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law, the New York City Coalition Against Hunger and Neighbors Together, a social-service agency in Brooklyn.
All family members serve on the board of either one or both foundations. At LKFF, Joe Kanfer is the founding director. Pamela Kanfer, whose background is in education, is chair. Ketti Zigdon is secretary, and siblings Marcella, Mamie and Jaron are directors. The siblings' spouses also are directors. At LKFLT, Marcella, Mamie, Joseph, Pamela and Joshua are founding directors.
Apart from the KFE foundations, GOJO as a company gives to the Akron community.
Family bonding and infrastructure
KFE's third domain is family togetherness. The family holds multiple retreats and meetings for its businesses and foundations. There is an annual adult retreat to review the for-profit domain; the family's 10 adults get together to evaluate KFE's business and investment status, performance and plans, as well as other relevant topics such as estate planning. Both of the philanthropic foundations also have annual summer retreats, and there are board meetings and working sessions throughout the year in which only those family members who are involved with that particular segment participate.
"Our family does not see boundaries," Marcella says. Freedom from the constraints of a traditional hierarchy enables the family members to follow their individual passions and to create meaning and value together, Marcella and Joe say.
