Melbourne, Australia and Hanoi, Vietnam, November 20, 2014 — /EPR WEB2INNOVATIONS NEWS/ — Fruitful Technologies, a mobile development firm has just announced the official launch of its first mobile game, Tappy Cricket.
Tappy Cricket is a fun take on the popular sport of Cricket and is aimed primarily at the casual gamer. Gameplay involves tapping on the screen to keep Tappy the ball away from obstacles in typical social cricket settings, including the alleyway, beach and backyard. Runs are scored as the player progresses through the world and statistics kept that mirror the more formal game of cricket.
Tappy Cricket features both single player and multiplayer modes. In single player mode, players vie for the highest number of runs in the game's international leaderboard. In multiplayer mode, players can challenge family and friends to a variety of Cricket matches such as Twenty 20, One Day International and Test Matches.
Other special features include:
– Multiple game worlds with unique obstacles
– Customizable game profiles
– Achievements that can be shared online through social networks
Tappy Cricket keeps track of each player's game statistics throughout the course of their careers. Logged statistics include:
– Total Games
– Total Runs
– Average Score
– Highest Score
– Number of scores above 50
– Number of scores above 100
Multiplayer Mode
Tappy Cricket allows players to hold matches against family and friends. Game modes include:
– Single inning-games
– Twenty20 games (5 games, total score wins)
– One-Day International (10 games, total score wins)
– Test Match (20 games, total score wins)
Tappy Cricket will soon be launching several key features including:
– A new Tournament mode to coincide with the 2015 Cricket World Cup
– The development of over 50 new worlds
– A new rewards program that will allow players to upgrade the ball and unlock new worlds
– Multilingual functionality to feature new language support
Allan Bennetto, Founder of Fruitful Technologies and Tappy Cricket said: "Cricket is the world's second most popular sport behind football with an estimated 2.5 billion fans in the world. Many of these fans are located in Asia, where there is an perfect storm of cheap, powerful devices coinciding with new faster networks and data plans. And they love games.
With Tappy Cricket, we didn't just want to create another simulation style game. We wanted to gamify the whole social cricket experience so the anyone could play regardless of age. We wanted the Grandparents to be challenging the Grandkids.
Se we ended up creating a game with a really simple games engine, but bolted on a sophisticated stats engine to record all player details, just like in professional cricket.
What you have now is a game that is really simple to play, but difficult to master. But like cricket, the longer you play, the better you get and the more 100s you score and the better your average is."
Tran Cong Than, Chief Technical Architect of Fruitful Technologies said: "We're thrilled to finally get Tappy Cricket out to the public. The game is the product of the many hours of hard-work from our development team here in Vietnam. Tappy Cricket may look simple to play, but a lot of work has gone into getting the stats engine right and syncing up scores from both iOS and Android so that players can seamlessly compete with each other. We're just getting started too. We'll be introducing new worlds and new game modes in the coming months. We hope the players enjoy the game as much as we did making it."
Tappy Cricket is free to download and play. The game is available in the Apple App Store for iOS devices and Google Play for Android devices.
About Tappy Cricket
Tappy Cricket is a wacky and addictive take on the classic game of Cricket. Extremely easy to pick up and play, Tappy Cricket provides hours of fun for players of all genders and ages.

The HedgeHog team is proud to present yet another app solution – a circular ovulation calendar that is both simple, efficient and aesthetic. Based on the popular calendar CircleTime, Freya tells you when is the best time to try to conceive or to use protection. It can also be used during pregnancy for counting the remaining time before the estimated due date.
The app, named after the Scandinavian goddess of love, sexuality, beauty and fertility – Freya offers a simple solution – without the countless irrelevant information you'll never require. Freya's mission is to be clear and effective.
We invite all who wish to see this app released as soon as possible, to assist the HedgeHog team with achieving their funding goal on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter. Participants have a unique opportunity to receive some genuine rewards made of natural and environmentally friendly materials. This is because sustainable development is one of the top priorities for the team and they wish to see all the natural beauty restored to the environment.
"The purpose of Freya is to provide a remarkable menstrual calendar for women which will be immensely appealing in both appearance as well as functionality", said Sabina Durini, Freya designer and member of the HedgeHog team.
The fundraising campaign will last for 30 days and the app will initially be developed for Apple iOS devices.

Schools and businesses that issue iPad, iPhone or other iOS devices to their students or staff now have a way to control where those devices can go on the internet, monitor where they have been, and lock them down to only appropriate sites.
Life Record Technologies, creators of the consumer based iWonder Pro application to control and monitor children on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices, releases the first enterprise level surveillance and control software for schools, hospitals and businesses.
"With the release of iBooks 2 featuring text book support by Apple Inc. its inevitable that schools will now start issuing iPads to students and staff as regularly as they issue text books today.", says Michael Pike, Chief Software Architect of Life Record Technologies. "We've also noticed a lot of healthcare facilities deploying iPads to their staff, and our software allows all of the devices to be managed, observed and secured with ease."
iWonder Pro Enterprise allows schools and businesses with as little as one iOS device, with up to 10,000 devices to manage them all in one place, including profiles to let certain types of users go to certain types of sites while restricting the others while using any Wifi or cellular network. iWonder Pro Enterprise is the first and only enterprise level surveillance system designed specifically for iOS.
iWonder Pro Enterprise is available now in the Apple App Store starting at $99.99.

You can inherit mutations in the genes known as "BRCA1" or "BRCA2" from either your mother's or your father's side of the family. Normally, BRCA1 and BRCA2 function as tumor suppressor genes, producing proteins that help repair any damage to your cells' genetic information and suppress abnormal cell growth. When a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene has a mutation, or a "misspelling" in the letters of the genetic code, this repair function is usually lost—increasing the risk for breast, ovarian, and some other cancers.
In some families, multiple cases of breast and/or ovarian cancer cannot be traced back to the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. Researchers are now searching for other inherited genetic mutations that may be responsible for increased risk.
Have been diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). These conditions are considered to be "pre-cancers" because they stay in place and do not spread to surrounding tissues.
Further counseling about special screening and risk-reduction options, if you are found to be high risk.
Two or more family members on the same side (your mother's or father's) have been diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer.
Your affected relative(s) is your first-degree relation (mother, sister, daughter).
Any relative had cancer more than once, had breast cancer in both breasts, or has had both breast and ovarian cancer.
You are of Eastern European Jewish ancestry and have had breast or ovarian cancer, or a history of breast or ovarian cancer in close relatives.
A close relative has had male breast cancer.
To fully understand whether or not you might be "high risk," you need to go through a formal risk assessment process with a genetic counselor, a health professional specially trained to provide information and advice about inherited conditions.

Get ready for a hard to park game. This is not just a regular parking game but a hard to park one. Parking in winter is trickier than it seams and with all the ice and snow around you know its bound to get down right impossible. You need to be a seasoned car driver to get this game right. Winter is the time the earth becomes slippery with ice and the obstacles you would usually avoid become covered in snow so you don�t see them well. So gather all your fine focus skills and patience to park in the snowed in parking spot. Don�t fret if you don�t make it the first time cause parking in the snow takes a true master of the wheal and gating there is a matter of will and determination. Don�t forget to take a peek at the beautiful frozen lakes snowed in gas station and mighty street lamps while your rolling on the picturesque white and grayish roads.

Barwood and Delancey form UK industrial and logistics development joint venture to be called db symmetry
Delancey, a specialist real estate investment, development and advisory company acting on behalf of clients, today announces it has formed a UK logistics development joint venture through the purchase of a 60% holding in Barwood Developments Limited ("BDL"), a leading UK logistics developer, with the remaining shareholding being retained by the existing Barwood management team. The new company will be re branded as db symmetry.
BDL's existing portfolio comprises 1,330 acres of strategic land holdings with an expected development value of over £1.4 billion, which are expected to receive planning consent for over 20 million sqft of primarily logistics property over the next four years. In addition, BDL has seven other projects funded by third party investors. The portfolio is extremely well located being concentrated around the main motorway arteries of the UK and primarily around the 'Golden Triangle' of the M1 and M40.
Delancey has acquired the 60% stake as a strategic move to access the logistics sector which it sees as a growth area over the next decade. The sector currently exhibits extremely favourable supply and demand fundamentals driven by the seismic shift in retail habits, in particular the continued growth of online retailing and the increase in click and collect creating a significant requirement for urban logistics space and last mile delivery.
The creation of db symmetry provides Barwood with a strong partner and Delancey with access to BDL's significant existing portfolio of logistics development opportunities. Under the terms of the transaction, Delancey has committed to provide further funds which will allow db symmetry to accelerate the bringing forward of the existing landbank and development portfolio. Delancey's strategic investment will also allow db symmetry to grow through the acquisition of additional strategic land and development opportunities.
Barwood is a group of associated companies involved in the investment and development of commercial and residential property, as well as the promotion of unallocated land through the planning system. The remaining Barwood companies remain unchanged and it will be business as usual for them.
Led by Richard Bowen, who will continue as Managing Director of db symmetry, BDL was founded in 1996. It is run by a highly experienced management team, including Henry Chapman, Christian Matthews and Andrew Dickman who have an excellent track record in securing planning for over 7 million square feet of office and logistics space, and in the subsequent delivery of commercial property developments. Since foundation, the BDL team has invested over £500 million into the delivery of over 14 million sqft of commercial real estate development, of which around 9.6 million sqft has been in the Logistics sector. Recent pre lets include 115,000 sq ft to Prodrive at CM40 Banbury and 230,000 sq ft to Aston Martin at Wellesbourne
BDL has a team of 9 real estate professionals which operate from offices in Northampton and Manchester, the latter having been established in 2012 to capitalise on the increasing logistics focus in the North of the UK. The team undertakes all land promotion, planning, financing and development management work to maximise efficiency and ensure projects remain focused and under their direct control.
The existing Barwood team will remain in place with the exception of the current chairman Alan Rudge, who will step down from BDL to focus on the other Barwood businesses, and Joanna Greenslade, BDL's Finance Director, who will also step down from BDL and become Managing Director of Barwood Capital as well as maintaining her role on the Boards of the Barwood residential land and development businesses. The remaining Barwood businesses will continue as usual and are unaffected by this transaction.
Tim Haden-Scott, Investment director of Delancey said: "We are delighted to have formed this new JV with Barwood, and to be entering the logistics area, particularly at such an exciting period of change in the retail market. Alongside the Barwood shareholders and management, Delancey has strong ambitions for the new JV and we look forward to working together to maximise the potential of db symmetry and the existing first class management team and assets."
Richard Bowen, Managing Director of db symmetry, said: "Having established a very successful track record of securing well located strategic land and promoting it through the planning system, as well as the subsequent delivery of logistics and industrial development, the creation of db symmetry marks a significant step forward in the evolution of the business. The strategic investment by Delancey will provide db symmetry with access to significant amounts of equity which will allow us to accelerate the bringing forward of our substantial development portfolio. It also provides us with a strong partner to facilitate the acquisition of new projects from the pipeline of opportunities we have identified at a very opportune point in the cycle for logistics property, which is supported by favourable supply and demand dynamics that will allow us to deliver strong returns for our investors."

The UK Logistics Market: A New Landscape
According to JLL, the supply chain logistics industry in Europe has undertaken a wholesale change in the past five years, in part driven by the dramatic increase of on-line retail sales, resulting in retailers and logistics providers reviewing how they maximise efficiencies within their supply chain.
Strong Demand resulting from growth in on-line retailing
The demand for long term logistics solutions within easy reach of major road networks with access to markets and a flexible work force remains strong. Take up in 2013 reached its highest level since 2010, up 57% on 2012, and comfortably above the long term average. Key demand drivers were:
stronger UK economic fundamentals and growth in the UK manufacturing sector
UK shoppers spent £91bn online in 2013, a 16% increase on the previous year, with £107bn predicted to be spent in 2014 – a 17% increase
John Lewis saw 30% of its overall sales in 2013 coming from its online business. Source: Internet Retailing 22nd January 2014
Changing Requirements – Move to Build-to-Suit
The requirements of modern logistics have changed to include:
Larger buildings for economies of scale (1,000,000 sq. ft.+)
Larger yards to cater for point of time delivery
Proximity to customers for next day delivery
Broad employee base, including skilled IT technicians in addition to traditional blue collar jobs
High tech racking / picking systems
The requirements of modern logistics for larger, specialist facilities cannot be accommodated in second hand buildings and is driving a significant swing towards new facilities, typically Build To Suit (BTS).
In 2013, the take up of new space was more than double the level recorded in 2012 and around 77% of all new floor space taken up was BTS.
UK Logistics Market: Outlook
The UK is currently experiencing a significant shortage of Grade A logistics supply due to low volumes of development during the recession.
Shortage of New Supply
The supply of new logistics facilities has fallen year on year since 2009 creating a significant lack of availability in traditional distribution locations. At the end of 2013, Grade A availability stood at 15.8m sq. ft., down from 19.2m sq. ft. six months earlier and 79% below the pre-recession peak. Based on immediately available Grade A supply and speculative development there is now only approximately 1.5 years' supply in the market.
Key drivers for the shortage in supply are:
Resurgence in occupational demand from traditional sources and growth in demand from new sources such as retailers; and
The lack of speculative development in post recessionary times – from 2009 to 2013 only three large scale logistics facilities were speculatively developed in the UK
Midlands Location remains key
The Midlands continues to be the preferred location for logistics facilities and tenants, accounting for 40% of UK take up in 2013. The central location and proximity to motorway networks make for excellent transit times to all parts of the UK with a standard goods vehicle being able to reach the majority of England and Wales within 9 hours.
Unsatisfied Market Requirements
As a result of supply side pressures, there are many high profile large scale requirements that remain unsatisfied. Current estimates stand at some 24m sq. ft. nationally and 7m sq. ft. in the Midlands, offering significant BTS opportunities.
Medium Term Outlook
In order to meet the existing and growing demand, the logistics sector requires significant access to green and brownfield development land in established logistics locations, particularly the Midlands. Local Authorities and stakeholders are supportive of new logistics planning allocation due to the employment opportunities this creates, increased revenue for local businesses and increased business rates. As the supply shortage becomes increasingly acute in the short term, rents are increasing, evidenced by hardening incentives and growth in headline levels.
UK Logistics Market: Investment
Strong institutional investor demand and a shortage of prime stock
Whilst prime distribution rents have remained broadly unchanged so far in 2014, there is evidence that rents are hardening as the market continues to improve and supply diminishes. Incentives are reducing and this is leading to growth in net effective rents.
At March 2014, JLL's latest forecasts indicate distribution warehouse rental growth of 1.4% per annum over the five years 2014 to 2018.
UK industrial investment property remains very sought after with a weight of money targeting the sector from both domestic and international investors. Overall investment in UK industrial property totalled £5 billion in 2013, a significant year on year increase of c. 50% and significantly ahead of the five-yearly annual average (2009-2013) of £3.2 billion.
There are however limited investment opportunities to satisfy this demand and as a result of limited supply, attractive market fundamentals and growth prospects, investment yields have continued to move in. At the end of Q1 2014 prime distribution yields in the South East, assuming a 15-year lease and an open market rent review, stood at 5.75%, and Regional prime yields stood at 6.00%.

IT'S here! The last of my NerdBlock Horror Blocks. Let's see what we've got.
Looks pretty full this month.
A vinyl soundtrack of The Omen. That's very cool.
A copy of the first issue of the Titan property, based on the popular TV series. Cool.

Pocket Pop!s - kinda funky.
A Gremlins T-shirt? Looks great, but I'm not a fan of the flick, so I'll pass it on to my sister-in-law who's a big Gremlins fan.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Probably the perfect time to quit this scheme as this was the least satisfactory of the three boxes I received. I guess if I'd received another T-shirt that I liked, then I'd give this box a higher mark. Ah well.

Changes in sea ice are likely to affect the aerosols in the continental Arctic. We calculated linear regressions to median aerosol concentrations and mode peak diameters at SMEAR I in eastern Lapland, Finland, as a function of time over sea ice (TOSI), time over open sea (TOOS) and time over land (TOL). We divided the data into summer (Jun-Sep) and winter (Oct-May) as well as NAO and AO positive and negative phases.
During summer, the total aerosol number, Aitken mode and accumulation mode concentrations were decreasing with the time the air mass spent over the sea ice by -8.9, -5.3 and -1.6 cm-3h-1, respectively. Aitken and accumulation mode diameters were decreasing -0.3 nm/h and -0.5 nm/h, respectively. Accumulation mode concentration and diameter increased by 0.8 cm-3h-1 and 0.3 nm/h, respectively, as a function of TOOS. Total, nucleation mode and Aitken mode concentrations decreased in winter as a function of TOSI (-1.3, -0.3, -0.6 cm3/h, respectively). Accumulation mode concentration and diameter were decreasing by -0.4 cm-3h-1 and -0.2 nm/h as a function of TOOS.
We conclude, that Arctic sea ice has a strong impact on the aerosol concentrations in eastern Lapland, and the changes in the sea ice extent and time that the air parcel spends over sea ice can have an influence on the aerosol-cloud interactions in the continental Arctic. The concentrations of potential CCN have contrasting trends with decreasing sea ice during summer and winter.

Q: Limiting number of users accessing asp.net website What is the best way to limit the number of (concurrent) users accessing a web application that any one can introduce for selling website/application to client and how to increase the number of users accessing it remotely?

A: If you use the in-process session state management, you can use the HttpApplicationState class, by introducing the Global.asax file and putting something like this in the code behind:
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Application["ActiveSessions"] = 0;
}

void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        Application.Lock();

        int activeSessions = (int) Application["ActiveSessions"] + 1;
        int allowedSessions = 10; // retrieve the threshold here instead

        Application["ActiveSessions"] = activeSessions;

        if (activeSessions > allowedSessions)
            System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("~/UserLimitReached.aspx", false);
    }
    finally
    {
        Application.UnLock();
    }
}

void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Application.Lock();
    Application["ActiveSessions"] = (int)Application["ActiveSessions"] - 1;
    Application.UnLock();
}

Then, in the UserLimitReached.aspx you would call HttpSession.Abandon() to effectively terminate the current session so it does not count towards the limit. You'll have to figure out the rest yourself. :)

A: One way would be to track active sessions in a database, and each time a user logs in, check the number of active sessions. If it is below a threshold, let them in, if not, bounce them.
To administer this number remotely, a simple admin form that lets you update the threshold in the database is simple enough.

A: In addition to the previous answers, I think you will need to introduce your own timeout so that sessions aren't left lingering and locked. Rather than use sessions, if you have a login, you can monitor it based on logins and keep them active by recording the most recent activity per user in a dictionary/array. That should make it easy to see which users are using the site, and which are the n most recently active users. If you tie that with the sessions, you could expire sessions used by the least recently active user. The effect of this is that if more than the specified number of users try use the website, some (the least active) will continually need to login. Given the disconnected nature of web apps, I think you may have to allow a certain % of grace so that when limited to 20 users, you actually allow maybe 22 to be concurrently active.

Thanks for your encouragement! I wouldn't describe myself as a hoarder, but once in awhile I get distracted & things start to build up.
Just finished listening to the book, loved it, have started to listen again for continued motivation! Was sitting with my husband late last night at the kitchen island deep in discussion, when out of the blue, he said, "have I ever told you how much I hate that stuff there on the window sill?" It took me about 5 seconds to jump up, grab every item and every plant except the aloe (JUST in case) and ran to the trash can. Wiped off the sill, added my favorite little pitcher (an immediate warm memory for me of my 1960's childhood, no longer lost among the clutter!) and instantly felt 100% better! Thanks for helping me remember that less can be more!
gail- I am checking out the work book and will start it asap.
( just a note-- I am Meme so there is not daughter in the picture- you may have mixed me up with Mary? which is ok :-) so this is just a Meme deal-).
Would love to - tell me more!
What did I throw out? The cat, of course!
Naw, only kidding. That's Temujin, my fierce warrior pal. If he had his way, I'd be throwing out a lot more.
I started in the bedroom today and finding lots. The bedroom has been a place to hid my junk from visitor's eyes. Besides clothing, I am getting rid of an old aquarium that does really make me feel bad. I wasn't so good about keeping those fish alive.
I have a question, When will the workbook be available?
i think your website needs a FAQ's section because I'm pretty tech savy and it confuzzles me.
So true. As a matter of fact, my hubby spent ALL DAY today purging old files!

Adalimumab Biosimilar Shows Similar Efficacy, Safety Compared with Original in Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment
By Lana Dykes
At the 6-month mark, there were no significant differences between the treatment groups regarding composite score-defined remission.
In a real-life national cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), treatment with a biosimilar adalimumab (bADA) exhibited similar safety and efficacy after 6 months of treatment when compared with the original adalimumab (oADA), according to a study published in Medicina.1
"One of the most successful biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) for the treatment of active RA is original adalimumab, a fully human recombinant monoclonal antibody (immunoglobulin G1), derived by phage display, which targets with high affinity and specificity tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), a key cytokine in the pathogenic process of RA," investigators noted. "Numerous adalimumab biosimilars have emerged since the patent expiry of the original molecule in 2016, aiming theoretically to increase access to bDMARDs and to improve cost benefits (lower healthcare expenses, cost reduction by market competition)."
The prospective, observational study utilized the Romanian Registry of Rheumatic Diseases (RRBR) to evaluate patients with RA starting either oADA or bADA from May 2019, which is when the first Romanian patient with RA received a bADA, through March 2022. bADAs available at the time were FKB327, GP2017, MSB11022, and SB5. Eligible patients met the 2010 classification criteria, in addition to other inclusionary conditions, and had at least 2 clinic visits (baseline and 6 months). Demographics, body mass index (BMI), disease characteristics, disease duration, treatment information, efficacy measurements, and safety information were collected.
In total, 441 patients were included in the study, with 48.3% (n = 213) in the oADA cohort and 51.7% (n = 228) in the bADA cohort. At baseline, those in the bADA group had a significantly higher mean age and a lower prevalence of women. After 6 months of treatment, patients in the bADA cohort had significantly higher mean values of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and a slightly lower prevalence of glucocorticoid therapy.
At the 6-month mark, there were no significant differences between the oADA and bADA groups regarding the Disease Activity Score 28 for Rheumatoid Arthritis with CRP (DAS28-CRP) (32.4% vs 34.2%, respectively; p = 0.686), Simple Disease Activity Index (SDAI) (16.4% vs 14.0%, respectively; p = 0.483), and Boolean (15.0% vs 12.3%, respectively; p = 0.401) remission rates. Although patients receiving the biosimilar adalimumab had lower rates of composite score-defined remission, these differences were not deemed statistically significant.
Adverse events (AEs) were reported in 107 cases, with 81.3% in the oADA cohort and 18.7% in the bADA cohort. Over half (51.4%) of AEs were infections. Most AEs (49.5%) were classified as mild, 34.6% were moderate, and 15.9% were rated as severe.
The short follow-up period and the relatively small sample size limited the study and may have influenced results. Variability in data entry may have occurred as the RRBR attains input from approximately 300 rheumatologists. The fields regarding quality of life, radiographic progression, comorbidities, general health status, and imaging are not mandatory, thus leading to missing data. Further, immunogenicity assessments are not performed. Future research should focus on these limitations and expand analyses to include other biosimilar bDMARDs and other indications.
Investigators believe these results "[bring] further evidence for biosimilarity in patients in a real-world setting."

There is no rough on the right side of this fairway... just the wall and the clear and present danger of three off the tee! Being brave from the tee and leaving an approach from close to the wall gives you the best angle to this green. A large, back to front sloping green can be tricky to judge so clubbing is very important, just make sure you carry the water guarding the front of the green!

We wanted to let you know that we are really enjoying our new house additions that you built for us. Our sons, Kurt (5yrs) and Alec (21months) are having fun driving there trucks in the basement and playing trains in the new sunroom. Having the additional space for our growing family has been very nice our new master bedroom has more space then we have ever enjoyed and Suzy's craft zone has allowed her to spend time doing projects in a space that she can call her own. We have noticed that our house is much quieter inside since you did such a great job with sealing up the exterior before the new siding was installed. What a difference this has made during the cold spells this winter.
We want to thank you for the quality of craftsmanship that you put into our remodeling project and for being flexible as we worked through the project. During the wet weather events last summer we got a real taste of Mother Nature and having a big hole next to our home, but you were there when we needed some support to get through the very messy parts of remodeling. Your attention to detail and Jay's perfectionist qualities have given us an even better place to live that we will enjoy for many years to come. Thanks to Jay for convincing me to make the north garage door a wall instead of replacing the door. I am glad that you persisted as it was the right decision and now I have a tool peg board in that new corner where I can hang garage tools. It is a new work area for the garage, which is nice to have, plus the garage is now warmer since the north side has less holes!
We hope you have a good 2005 and if we or anyone we know have building projects, Kunkel Construction will come highly recommended by the Sernett's. There are still many homeowners and People who value QUALITY craftsmanship and Kunkel Construction absolutely delivers quality work.
We hope you and your families are doing well and hope to see you during 2005. We have included a few pictures.

Your New Jersey home's main sewer line is the most crucial part of your home's plumbing system. Unfortunately, since it is underground,usually buried under your lawn or driveway, the sewer pipes in NJ are not so easy to investigate when there is a problem and you need sewer repair services .
These are sewer problems you may not know about until your sewer line clogs, is cleared by a nj sewer plumber, and then clogs again a few months later….
This is a sign that there may be a sewer leak, a broken sewer pipe or a piece of the sewer pipe has shifted and a sewer inspection with a sewer video camera is needed to find the problem.
Most of the time when we are called to clean a sewer line blockage in nj we are able to easily locate, dislodge and break up the sewer clog allowing water and waste to flow freely through the sewer pipes again.
If we are not able to readily clear the sewer blockage with our equipment, or if the client tells us that this is not the first sewer blockage in the last few months, then we know that we should perform a sewer video camera inspection so we can see what is causing the problem in the sewer line.
If there is sewer leaking or broken sewer pipes then sewer repair is needed, the video camera inspection will tell us exactly where the sewer line leak is and we can dig up that small portion of the line and replace the broken sewer pipe.
Trenchless sewer repair is also an affordable option for sewer line repair in NJ. This method of nj sewer repair does not require any excavation, we use the existing openings to install a new sewer lining inside the existing sewer pipe.
We try to use trenchless sewer repair when we can to help keep the sewer line repair cost and hassle down by reducing the amount of digging needed.
If you think you may have a sewer leak in New Jersey call us today at 201-645-0888 and we would be happy to stop by and take a look.
We are experienced NJ sewer repair contractors and can give you the most affordable sewer repair options in NJ.

Tour the great British Open golf holes without leaving Las Vegas at Royal Links Golf Club

LAS VEGAS -- Mark Simoes, of Vancouver, is like a lot of golfers.
He wants to experience the links courses of the British Isles, while avoiding the exchange rates and the long, expensive flight overseas.
That's why Simoes ended up at Royal Links Golf Club in Sin City. Royal Links provides 18 replica holes from British Open venues. Simoes said he cherished the experience.
"I loved all 18," he said, sitting at a table in the bar of the castle clubhouse. "It's this course that got us to book with Walters Golf. It's like a theme park. We will never get to Scotland or Ireland. This is our best chance to experience that kind of golf."
Nearly everybody who has played Royal Links agrees that the 7,029-yard course is a fun ride thanks to all of the quirkiness of links golf: blind shots, pot bunkers, bad bounces off of rippling fairways and hairy dunes. The unique holes give a relatively flat parcel of land without any water features some great personality.
Fourteen courses have hosted the British Open since its inception in 1860, and 11 are represented at Royal Links. Of the three holes from the Old Course at St. Andrews, it's the 10th that remains the most memorable. Players hit over a billboard and stone fence meant to mimic the famous tee shot of the "Road Hole," the 17th at St. Andrews. The fifth hole, a mirror image of the 12th at St. Andrews, is the first of two drivable par 4s, although five hidden fairway bunkers have other plans.
The 324-yard 11th hole is blind off the tee with the green tucked behind dunes, a tribute to the sixth hole at Royal Cinque Ports, the course more commonly known as Deal, which hosted The Open in 1909 and 1920. Even the most educated golfers probably wouldn't know that trivia without playing Royal Links.
Of the three holes from Royal Troon, the short, 153-yard eighth at Royal Links copies the nuances of the "Postage Stamp" eighth hole.
Prestwick, Royal Birkdale and Turnberry's Ailsa course all have two holes represented. Royal Lytham & St Annes, Royal Liverpool, Royal St. George's and Muirfield round out the design. True to form, the hole inspired by the 14th at Carnoustie -- the 16th at Royal Links -- plays narrow and tough, just like the real Carnoustie.
A storybook next to each tee box highlights the historical significance of each original hole. The yardage book lists all the past Open champions.
"For a tourist experience, it was cool," Simoes said. "It lends itself to the history of golf."
Royal Links Golf Club in Las Vegas: The verdict
The fact that Royal Links Golf Club is so different from anything else around makes it a worthwhile play on any Las Vegas golf trip. The blind shots, and the hidden fairway bunkers, are what make it maddeningly fun. Striking what you think is a perfect tee shot, only to find your ball in a tiny pot bunker, that's the rub of the game at Royal Links.

I was gone for the long weekend. Packed up the dog and went to the cottage. A belated Happy Canada Day to you all! I've been keeping it pretty quiet these past couple of weeks, I am going to go ahead and say there will more than likely be no new content this coming week due to some family stuff. This week has been kind of insane in the world. I don't feel that I have anything meaningful, insightful or important to say on any of it. So instead I've rounded up some of the articles that I think articulate it all much better than I could. Giving voice to the people who know and understand their experiences in a way I never can and never will.
Where to start? This article showing the peaceful protestors and the police posing together before the shots rang out breaks my heart.
President Obama speaking on the deaths of Philano Castile and Alton Sterling is incredibly eloquent, poised and thoughtful.
The horrifying bombing in Iraq with well over 250 victims is yet another point of cruelty in the world this past week.
And here is a piece on gun violence in America, because it feels as though not a day has gone by in 2016 without a mass shooting.
To take a step away from the constant violence, heartache and horror this week has heaped upon us all let's look at this Underwritten Female Characters: The Movie, as an actor let me tell you how painfully true I find this.
And as a palate cleanser this kid was sneaking into his neighbour's garage to hug their dog which is straight up adorable.
Let's make this coming week better ok? Collectively let's put aside the hatred and the vitriol and accept that we don't know everything, we don't understand everything. That sometimes we just need to sit down and listen.

UPDATE Added photos to the right and below of Mario Andretti at Phoenix and the cars that will be on display.
03/13/18 As part of the 25th anniversary celebration of the final win of Mario Andretti's illustrious career, ISM Raceway will showcase four iconic race cars that were victorious in Phoenix over a special reunion weekend for the Verizon IndyCar Series Phoenix Grand Prix on April 6-7, 2018.

Cindric is wrong at so many levels
Tim Cindric wants to outspend everyone on engineering to win instead of winning with physical and mental talent of his team.
Team Penske President wants to turn IndyCar from being a sport, to being an exercise in engineering. Engineering is not a sport but Cindric wants to open up more areas of the IndyCar for development.
So rich Team Penske can outspend everyone else on engineering and win everything.

Three questions for Daniel Juncadella
Daniel Juncadella
Dani, how does it feel to be competing in the DTM again this year?
Daniel Juncadella: It's great. For me, it's very special to be part of such a historic year. After a one-year absence, I am up for it. 2016 was a difficult season for me, and I wasn't happy with the situation. That's why I needed the change that one year away from the DTM provided. Now I've recharged my batteries, and I'm looking forward to competing in such a strong field. It's great that we have such a strong driver squad at Mercedes and that I have the opportunity to measure my performance against that of my teammates.

IndyCar season finale loses title sponsor
GoPro is gone, which does not bode well for the future of the race. Without a title sponsor, and given the low attendance, SMI will now lose their shirt on the event.
GoPro did not renew its deal with Sonoma Raceway to title sponsor the Verizon IndyCar Series season finale this year at the track. The S.F. based action-camera company initially signed on in '12 for three years and eventually extended through '17.
The company's decision not to renew the deal for '18 comes at a time when it has started to face serious business issues amid increasing competition.
The company's stock price is down around 90% since mid '15. Sonoma Raceway President & GM Steve Page said that the track is now actively searching for a replacement sponsor for the race, which will be on Sept. 16. Adam Stern/SBD

Marchionne has failed FCA by largely ignoring the move to electric
Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has failed FCA and his Ferrari F1 team can't beat Mercedes. Are his days numbered?
Electric cars aren't in the majority (yet), but there's no denying that during the past year, there has been a large surge in popularity. Manufacturers are switching resources from traditional gasoline-powered vehicles in favor of electrifying their fleets, or even completely swearing off gasoline in the name of clean energy. One manufacturer in particular, however, believed that electrification was a bad bet in Q4 2017, but ate its words in Geneva this year, less than six months after folding its proverbial hand.
During the annual Geneva Motor Show, Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne sat down with press during a round table event where he discussed various rumors and aspects of the FCA brands. One particular area which Marchionne addressed was that of electric cars, specifically regarding the company's bet that investing in Chinese-market electrification was a waste of time.

Q: .NET Impersonate and file upload issues I have a webpage that allows a user to upload a file to a network share. When I run the webpage locally (within VS 2008) and try to upload the file, it works! However, when I deploy the website to the webserver and try to upload the file through the webpage, it doesn't work!
The error being returned to me on the webserver says "Access to the path '\05prd1\emp\test.txt' is denied. So, obviously, this is a permissions issue.
The network share is configured to allow full access both to me (NT authentication) and to the NETWORK SERVICE (which is .NET's default account and what we have set in our IIS application pool as the default user for this website).
I have tried this with and without impersonation upon the webserver and neither way works, yet both ways work on my local machine (in other words, with and without impersonation works on my local machine).
The code that does the file upload is below. Please note that the code below includes impersonation, but like I said above, I've tried it with and without impersonation and it's made no difference.
if (fuCourses.PostedFile != null && fuCourses.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0) {
    System.Security.Principal.WindowsImpersonationContext impCtx;
    impCtx =
        ((System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity)User.Identity).Impersonate();

    try {
        lblMsg.Visible = true;

        // The courses file to be uploaded
        HttpPostedFile file = fuCourses.PostedFile;
        string fName = file.FileName;
        string uploadPath = "\\\\05prd1\\emp\\";

        // Get the file name
        if (fName.Contains("\\")) {
            fName = fName.Substring(
                fName.LastIndexOf("\\") + 1);
        }

        // Delete the courses file if it is already on \\05prd1\emp
        FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(uploadPath + fName);
        if (fi != null && fi.Exists) {
            fi.Delete();
        }

        // Open new file stream on \\05prd1\emp and read bytes into it from file upload
        FileStream fs = File.Create(uploadPath + fName, file.ContentLength);

        using (Stream stream = file.InputStream) {
            byte[] b = new byte[4096];
            int read;

            while ((read = stream.Read(b, 0, b.Length)) > 0) {
                fs.Write(b, 0, read);
            }
        }

        fs.Close();

        lblMsg.Text = "File Successfully Uploaded";
        lblMsg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
        lblMsg.Text = ex.Message;
        lblMsg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
    }
    finally {
        impCtx.Undo();
    }
}

Any help on this would be very appreciated!

A: You don't mention what kind of authentication you are using in IIS.
If you are relying on Windows Integrated/NTLM authentication then I think you will have a problem in that unless you can configure Kerberos on your servers, the user's authentication token can't be used beyond the current (web) server - the "double-hop" problem.
If you use Basic (in IIS) or Forms (via ASP.NET), then you will have access to the user's password in clear text. You can then call the Impersonation code using the username/password and should be able to access the shared folder as that user.
I'm also pretty certain that if you use Basic authentication, then the <identity impersonate="true"> tag will work for network share access.
Check out KB 306158 for some more info and code samples too.

A: The problem exists in the fact that Kerberos is not being delegated from the webserver to the file server. The ideal solution would be to delegate Kerberos to the file server. Unfortunately, this is not something that I have the power to change. Too much red tape and too much politics. However, I have come up with a hack of sorts.
I created a temporary folder located at the root of the website. Using impersonation, I write the file to this temporary folder (it gets uploaded to this temp folder, in other words).
Having wrote the file to the temp folder, I then copy the file to the file server UNC. This is the 2nd hop, and this is where it makes no difference whether I'm using impersonation or not - because the credentials being sent to the file server are those of the webserver itself. So, what this forced me to do was to give read/write access to the webserver on the UNC share. After doing all of this, the file copy worked as expected.

La balsa de la Medusa (en francés: Le Radeau de la Méduse) es una pintura al óleo realizada por el pintor y litógrafo francés del romanticismo Théodore Géricault entre 1818 y 1819. La obra, que el autor culminó antes de haber cumplido los treinta, se convirtió en un icono del Romanticismo francés. Es una pintura de formato grande (491cm×716cm) que representa una escena del naufragio de la fragata de la marina francesa Méduse, encallada frente a la costa de Mauritania el 2 de julio de 1816. Al menos 150 personas quedaron a la deriva en una balsa construida apresuradamente, y todas ellas, salvo 15, murieron durante los 13 días que se tardó en rescatarlos. Los supervivientes debieron soportar el hambre, la deshidratación, el canibalismo y la locura. El suceso llegó a ser un escándalo internacional, en parte porque sus causas fueron atribuidas a la incompetencia del capitán francés que actuaba bajo la autoridad de la reciente y restaurada monarquía francesa de Luis XVIII.

Al seleccionar esa tragedia como el tema de su primer trabajo importante —una descripción que no le había sido encargada de un acontecimiento reciente—, Géricault escogió deliberadamente un incidente muy conocido que pudiera generar un gran interés público y, al mismo tiempo, ayudarlo a impulsar su carrera. El evento en sí fascinó al artista, quien, antes de comenzar a trabajar en la pintura final, emprendió una investigación intensa y realizó muchos bocetos preparativos. Para construir un modelo detallado a escala de la balsa, entrevistó a dos de los supervivientes, Alexandre Correard, un ingeniero de los Arts et Métiers y el cirujano Jean-Baptiste Savigny. Su empeño lo llevó a ir a depósitos de cadáveres y hospitales donde pudiera ver de primera mano el color y la textura de la carne de los agonizantes y los muertos. Como el artista había anticipado, la pintura resultó ser altamente polémica en su primera exhibición, en el Salón de París de 1819, y se ganó tanto elogios apasionados como condenas. No obstante, el evento consolidó su reputación internacional, y el cuadro es, aún hoy, ampliamente considerado una obra seminal en la historia temprana del Romanticismo en la pintura francesa.

Aunque La balsa de la Medusa conserva elementos de las tradiciones de la pintura histórica, tanto la elección del tema de la pintura como su dramática presentación representan una ruptura con respecto a la calma y orden de la escuela neoclasicista entonces predominante. El trabajo de Géricault atrajo la atención casi de inmediato a partir de su primera muestra y en la subsiguiente exhibición en Londres. Fue adquirida por el Louvre poco tiempo después de la muerte prematura del artista, a los 32 años de edad. La influencia de la pintura puede ser vista en los trabajos de Eugène Delacroix, J. M. W. Turner, Gustave Courbet y Édouard Manet.

Contexto

En junio de 1816, la fragata francesa Méduse partió de Rochefort con rumbo al puerto senegalés de Saint-Louis. Dirigía un convoy compuesto por otras tres embarcaciones: el buque-bodega Loire, el bergantín Argus y la corbeta Écho. El vizconde Hugues Duroy de Chaumereys había sido nombrado capitán de la fragata pese a haber navegado muy poco en 20 años. La misión de la fragata era la de aceptar la devolución británica de la entonces colonia de Senegal bajo los términos franceses de la Paz de París. El gobernador francés designado para Senegal, el coronel Julien-Désiré Schmaltz y su esposa, Reine Schmaltz, estaban entre los pasajeros.

En un esfuerzo por lograr una travesía rápida, la Méduse se adelantó a las otras naves, pero, debido precisamente a su velocidad, fue al garete y se desvió de su curso . El 2 de julio encalló en un banco de arena en la bahía de Arguin, en la costa de África Occidental, cerca de la actual Mauritania. La colisión se debió en gran medida a la incompetencia de De Chaumereys, un francés emigrado que carecía de experiencia y habilidad, pero que habría conseguido esa misión como resultado de un acto de favoritismo político. Los esfuerzos por liberar el barco fueron infructuosos, así que el 5 de julio los aterrados pasajeros y la tripulación intentaron salvar los  que los separaban de la costa africana en los seis botes de la fragata. Aunque la Médusa llevaba 400 personas, incluida una tripulación de 160 marineros, en esos botes solo había espacio para 250. El resto de la dotación del buque —al menos 146 hombres y una mujer— se apiñaron en una balsa de 20 metros de largo por 7 de ancho, construida deprisa y corriendo, que se sumergió parcialmente al recibir la carga. Diecisiete miembros de la tripulación decidieron quedarse a bordo de la Médusa. El capitán y la tripulación a bordo de los otros botes intentaron arrastrar la balsa, pero después de solo unos pocos kilómetros las amarras de la balsa se soltaron por sí solas o alguien las soltó. El capitán dejó a los pasajeros de la balsa entregados a su suerte. La situación empeoró rápidamente: en la primera noche 20 hombres se suicidaron o habrían sido asesinados, ya que para el sustento de la tripulación de la balsa solo se les entregó una bolsa de galletas del buque (consumida en el primer día), dos contenedores de agua (perdidos por la borda durante las peleas) y unos barriles de vino.

Según el crítico Jonathan Miles, la balsa arrastró a los supervivientes "hacia las fronteras de la experiencia humana. Desquiciados, sedientos y hambrientos, asesinaron a los amotinados, comieron de sus compañeros muertos y mataron a los más débiles". Después de 13 días, el 17 de julio de 1816, la balsa fue rescatada por la nave Argus, que la encontró por accidente, ya que no hubo ningún intento de búsqueda de la balsa por parte de los franceses. En el momento del rescate solo había 15 hombres supervivientes; los demás habrían sido asesinados o arrojados por la borda por sus propios camaradas, muertos por inanición, o se habrían arrojado ellos mismos al mar en su desesperación. Este incidente se convirtió en una enorme vergüenza pública para la monarquía francesa, recientemente restaurada en el poder después de la derrota definitiva de Napoleón.

Análisis del cuadro
La pintura no tiene simetría, sino que presenta más bien un desorden intencionado acorde con el tema representado. Varias líneas directrices (una de ellas la principal), dos planos (primero la balsa y de fondo el paisaje), en definitiva, una estructura piramidal sobre una base inestable (el mar).

Una línea parte del cadáver de la izquierda con las piernas en el agua y asciende hasta el marino que agita un trapo en dirección al barco que acude al rescate. La disposición se ajusta a la realidad histórica: los 15 náufragos de la balsa de la Méduse fueron rescatados por el Argus. El sentido ascendente de la línea marca la sucesión de sentimientos experimentados por los náufragos, desde la desesperación a la esperanza. También la luz refuerza esta idea de final de la odisea con las nubes más negras a la izquierda, y el cielo más luminoso en la lejanía y recortándose entre las cabezas de los marinos más destacados. Finalmente, se corresponde con la mirada clásica del espectador occidental, que "lee" la pintura de izquierda a derecha.

La balsa, levantada por las olas, se adentra oblicuamente al interior del espacio pictórico. Las figuras agrupadas, configurando una pirámide, acentúan ese movimiento "hacia dentro" del mar.

Géricault ha reducido considerablemente el tamaño del barco rescatador en su pintura, hasta el punto que lo representa como un pequeño punto apenas sugerido en el horizonte. Si observamos la vela de la balsa, nos damos cuenta de que el viento sopla en una dirección que no acerca precisamente la balsa al barco: hacia la izquierda, en sentido contrario al de la lectura; podríamos decir que, simbólicamente, el viento sopla hacia la muerte. Además tiene un efecto negativo sobre el equilibrio de fuerzas de la escena.

Perspectiva: No hay punto de fuga, ya que las otras dos bordas de la balsa están ocultas por los personajes que se encuentran en ella. El encuadre es frontal.

Tipo de espacio: espacio "teatral", compuesto (los personajes están dispuestos formando una curva que se dirige a la esquina superior derecha del lienzo).

Colores: La paleta es muy reducida, va del beige al negro pasando por los tonos pardos claros y oscuros. Consigue, de este modo, una atmósfera de tonos cálidos con colores armonizados que produce una impresión dramática de angustia y desamparo. El color dominante es el beige oscuro y apagado. Sin embargo, existe un elemento que se destaca del resto por su color: se trata de la estola rojiza que lleva el anciano que sujeta un cadáver con la mano, en la parte izquierda inferior del cuadro.

Pincelada: El romanticismo se caracteriza por una pincelada suelta y unos contornos imprecisos, como es el caso de este lienzo.

Your views on situation at 'under pressure' hospital
By Jacob Colley @JakeColley22 Reporter
Cumberland Infirmary
A UNION responsible for representing nurses has described the situation as "very serious" at north and west Cumbria's NHS trust as staff deal with "unprecedented demand" due to coronavirus.
The Royal College of Nursing has spoken with nurses serving on the frontline across the North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust.
The NHS definition of the conditions triggering an Opel 4 Alert state: "Pressure in the local health and social care system continues to escalate leaving organisations unable to deliver comprehensive care. There is increased potential for patient care and safety to be compromised."
Speaking after a surge of Covid-19 admissions at the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven and Carlisle's Cumberland Infirmary, Glenn Turp, regional director for the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) said: "The situation is very serious. NHS Trusts and health and social care providers across Cumbria are trying their best to cope with unprecedented demand.
"Staff are under immense pressure and struggling to manage."
"Our members at NCIC tell us that they are caring for more than 170 Covid-19 positive patients and anticipate more admissions in the coming days. The sheer number of patients means there is congestion and delays within the emergency departments, particularly at the Cumberland Infirmary site.
"Whilst community nursing staff report an increase in Covid-19 outbreaks in the community."
On the News & Star Facebook page Roni Oxford commented: "So what has happened to all the nightingale hospitals? All the taxpayers money spent on them but no mention of them now."
Ian Grierson said: "If people had put as much effort into following the rules as they do trying to break the rules would the country be in as bad and horrendous position."
Patricia Ibrahim posted: All non-essential companies should be closed."
