Q: Query rule, my documents with space I have a query rule like this:
http://screencast.com/t/ecFYmwDyhk3
More link goes to the following url
 https://be-prpsp029.com/search/Pages/My-Search-Results.aspx?k={subjectTerms}

This works perfectly fine for keywords with one workd
However, when the  keyword is two words, the subject terms goes with %20 between the words, and therefore nothing is found:
http://screencast.com/t/tySgbryT

A: Could it be that the problem is the way you construct the 'More' Link? You are using {subjectTerms} in the more link, which is the search terms without the original Action term which fired the special Result Block. So the first page is firing the Query Rule, but the More page isn't.
Perhaps using {searchboxquery} in the more link would cause the rule to fire on the second page.

A: The Query Conditions part of the Add Query Rule controls how the {searchboxquery} (the original thing the user typed) gets transformed into {subjectTerms} and {actionTerms}.
Are you using Advanced Query Text Match? And which of the options do you have selected to:

*

*Assign the entire query to {subjectTerms}

*Assign match to {subjectTerms], unmatched terms to {actionTerms}

*Assign match to {actionTerms}, unmatched terms to {subjectTerms}

In any event I don't think the problem is with the query for your result block, but rather for your query conditions and how "and the" is getting assigned to {subjectTerms}.
PS: Not sure if this counts as an answer, but I would have commented on Fletchonides post, only I don't have enough points to comment. Kinda a catch 22 isn't it.

A: You could use decodeURI() (http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_decodeURI.asp)
function getUrlVars() {
    var url = window.location.href,
    vars = {};
    url.replace(/[?&]+([^=&]+)=([^&]*)/gi, function(m, key, value) {
        key = decodeURIComponent(key);
        value = decodeURIComponent(value);
        vars[key] = value;
    });
    return vars;
}

A: I have posted the answer here:

In this talk, Sohn will explore the domestic side of the famous expedition to the Pacific, which left St. Louis in May 1804 and returned in September 1806. What did the Corps of Discovery — some 30 people strong — eat during the 28-month trek to the Oregon coast and back? Sohn will offer recipes used by the explorers and the Indians who assisted them. Historic foods will be updated for today's kitchen. If the spirit of culinary exploration seizes your group, Sohn will provide recipes in advance so you can prepare an authentic meal or snacks for the talk.


Advances in dental technology have had a pronounced effect on how your dentist can manage your oral health. The use of lasers in dental treatments has meant that diagnostic procedures and dental treatments can be performed with greater precision, and with less discomfort. These techniques enable your dentist to address minute issues with greater accuracy. Decay that might not be detected in a visual inspection can be identified through laser diagnostics. Restorative treatments can use lasers instead of manual tools for a more comfortable, and accurate, experience.
Did you know that your dentist can actually check your teeth for cavities with lasers? Special diagnostic lasers can check the levels of fluorescence in your teeth; if a high amount of fluorescence is found, it can indicate decay. Lasers can also probe small crevices in your teeth, to check for cavities that might otherwise stay hidden. Lasers can also be used to perform a biopsy. If your dentist has found signs of oral cancer during a routine visit, a laser biopsy can be arranged to remove a small amount of suspect tissue for inspection.
Lasers can focus on a more precise area of your tooth than a manual tool, and can have less potential effect on your healthy tooth surrounding decay. This means that less of your tooth is affected during a procedure like a root canal treatment. Because lasers can find smaller cavities, it can even lead to earlier treatments, where your tooth can be restored with a small filling.


Because component methods are ColdFusion functions, most of their features and coding techniques are identical to those of user-defined functions. For more information on using the cffunction tag to create functions, see Writing and Calling User-Defined Functions. Like other ColdFusion functions, CFC methods can display information directly by generating output, or can return a value to the code or client that invoked the method.
The displayname and hint attributes, which document the CFC; for more information, see Documenting CFCs in Building ColdFusion components.
The access attribute, which controls access to the CFC; for more information, see Using access security in Using CFCs effectively.
For detailed reference information on the cffunction tag, see the CFML Reference.
When defining CFCs, it is good programming practice to organize related methods in one CFC. For example, you could place all methods that perform operations related to a user, such as addUser, editUser, and storeUserPreferences, in one CFC. You can group related mathematical functions into one CFC. A CFC can also contain all the methods and properties necessary for a shopping cart. The following CFC contains two cffunction tags that define two component methods, getEmp and getDept. When invoked, the component methods query the ExampleApps database. The cfreturn tag returns the query results to the client, or page, where the method was invoked.
You can place executable code in a separate file from the main component definition page. By placing the method execution code in a separate file, you can separate property initialization code, meta information, and the method definition shell from the executable method definition code. This technique lets you modularize your code and helps prevent CFML pages from getting too long and complex.
To separate the component method code, use a cfinclude tag on the component definition page to call the page that contains the component method code.
Note: If your method takes arguments or returns data to the page that invokes it, the cfargument tag and the cfreturn tag must be on the component definition page, not on the included page.
In the example, the getUTCTime method definition calls the getUTCTime.cfm file with the cfinclude tag. The getUTCTime.cfm code calculates the UTC time representation of the current time and populates a structure with hour and minute values. The method in tellTime.cfc then uses the information in the structure to return the current UTC time as a string to the calling page. The included page must not include a cfreturn statement.
Some components have instance data, which is data that persists as long as the component instance exists. For example, a shopping cart component can have instance data that includes the IDs and quantities of items that the user places in the shopping cart. Instance data is often shared by several methods that can create, delete, or modify the data.
You can refer to instance data of a CFC only if you create an instance of the CFC. From inside the CFC, you refer to instance data of the CFC using the this prefix, for example this.firstvariable. From the calling page, you refer to instance data using dot notation, including the name of the instance of the component and the name of the instance data, as in objectname.ivarname. Components whose methods you invoke without first instantiating the component do not typically have instance data.
You initialize instance data at the top of the component definition, before the method definitions. ColdFusion executes this code when it instantiates the component; for example, when a cfobject tag creates the component instance. Because this code executes only when the instance is created and it typically "constructs" properties of the component, instance data initialization code is sometimes called constructor code.
You can use any CFML tag or function in constructor code, and the code can perform any ColdFusion processing, such as querying a database or data validation and manipulation. If one component extends another, the parent component's constructor code executes before the child component's constructor code.
Note: ColdFusion does not require you to place the initialization code at the top of the component definition; however, it is good programming practice to do so.
For information on scopes, see The This scope and The Variables scope.
In this example, the init() method uses the variables scope to make the shopping cart ID available anywhere in the CFC. For more information about scope, see CFC variables and scope.
Note: You can create CFC methods that do not use cfargument tags, for example, if you use positional parameters in your methods. However, most CFC methods use the cfargument tag.
Defines the ctof method.Indicates that this method does not display output.
Creates the temp parameter of the ctof method. Indicates that it is required and that the expected value is numeric.
Defines the value that the method returns.
Defines the ftoc method.Indicates that this method does not display output.
Creates the temp parameter of the ftoc method. Indicates that it is required and that the expected value is numeric.
The ColdFusion page processForm.cfm calls the appropriate component method, based on what the user entered in the form on the tempConversion.cfm page. Place it in the same directory as convertTemp.cfc.
Executes the code in the cfif block if the user selected Celsius to Fahrenheit as the conversion type in the form on the tempConversion.cfm page.
Invokes the ctof method of the convertTemp component, without creating an instance of the convertTemp component. Specifies newtemp as the result variable for the method. Assigns the temperature value that the user entered in the form to the variable temp, which is specified in the cfargument tag of the ctof method. When invoking the ctof method, the temp variable is assigned to the Arguments scope. For more information about variables and scope, see CFC variables and scope.
Displays the temperature that the user entered in the form, the text "degrees Celsius is," the new temperature value that results from the ctof method, and the text "degrees Fahrenheit."
Executes the code in the cfelseif block if the user selected Fahrenheit to Celsius as the conversion type in the form on the tempConversion.cfm page.
Invokes the ftoc method of the convertTemp component, without creating an instance of the convertTemp component. Specifies newtemp as the result variable for the method. Assigns the temperature value that the user entered in the form to the variable temp, which is specified in the cfargument tag of the ftoc method. When invoking the ftoc method, the temp variable is assigned to the Arguments scope. For more information about variables and scope, see CFC variables and scope.
Displays the temperature that the user entered in the form, the text "degrees Fahrenheit is," the new temperature value that results from the ftoc method, and the text "degrees Celsius."
To run the example, display the tempConversion.cfm page in your browser. When you enter a value in the text box of the form, the value is stored in the form.temperature variable. Processing is then performed on the processForm.cfm page, which refers to the value as form.temperature. When you invoke either method, the cfinvoke tag assigns the value form.temperature to temp; temp is the argument specified in the cfargument tag of the appropriate method. The appropriate method in the convertTemp component performs the necessary calculations and returns the new value as newtemp.For detailed reference information on the cfargument tag, see the CFML Reference.To access the parameter values in the component method definition, use structure- or array-like notation with the Arguments scope. The following example refers to the lastName argument as Arguments.lastname; it could also refer to it as Arguments1. In addition, you can access arguments directly using number (#) signs, such as #lastname#; however, it is better programming practice to identify the scope (for example, #Arguments.lastname#). Also, you can use Array- or structure-like notation, which lets you loop over multiple parameters. For more information on the Arguments scope, see The Arguments scope in CFC variables and scope.
The name attributes define the parameter names.
The type attribute for the lastName argument specifies that the parameter must be a text string. The type attribute for the cost argument specifies that the parameter must be a numeric value. These attributes validate the data before it is submitted to the database.
The required attributes indicate that the parameters are required, if not, ColdFusion throws an exception.
The Arguments scope provides access to the parameter values.
They can generate output that is displayed on the calling page.
They can return a variable.
You can use either technique, or a combination of both, in your applications. The best technique to use depends on your application's needs and your coding methodologies. For example, many CFC methods that perform business logic return the results as a variable, and many CFC methods that display output directly are designed as modular units for generating output, and do not do business logic.
Component methods that are called by using Flash Remoting or as web services cannot use this method to provide results.
The ColdFusion page or other client, such as a Flash application, that receives the result then uses the variable data as appropriate.
Note: If a CFC is invoked using a URL or by submitting a form, ColdFusion returns the variable as a WDDX packet. A CFC that is invoked by Flash Remoting, or any other instance of a CFC, must not return the This scope.
You can return values of all data types, including strings, integers, arrays, structures, and instances of CFCs. The cfreturn tag returns a single variable, as does the return CFScript statement. Therefore, if you want to return more than one result value at a time, use a structure. If you do not want to display output in a method, use output="false" in the cffunction tag.
For more information on using the cfreturn tag, see the CFML Reference.
For information on displaying the information, see Using introspection to get information about components in Using CFCs effectively.
The cfcomponent, cffunction, cfargument, and cfproperty tags have displayname and hint attributes.
The displayname attribute lets you provide a more descriptive name for a component, attribute, method, or property. When you use introspection, this attribute appears in parentheses next to the component or method name, or on the parameter information line.
You use the hint attribute for longer descriptions of the component, method, or argument. In the introspection display, this attribute appears on a separate line or on several lines of the component or method description, and at the end of the argument description.
You can include arbitrary metadata information as attributes of the cfcomponent, cffunction, cfargument, and cfproperty tags. To create a metadata attribute, specify the metadata attribute name and its value. For example, in the following cfcomponent tag, the Author attribute is a metadata attribute. This attribute is not used as a function parameter; instead, it indicates who wrote this CFC.
Metadata attributes are not used by ColdFusion for processing; they also do not appear in standard ColdFusion introspection displays; however, you can access and display them by using the GetMetaData or GetComponentMetaData function to get the metadata. Each attribute name is a key in the metadata structure of the CFC element.
Note: All metadata values are replaced by strings in the metadata structure returned from the GetMetadata function. Because of this, do not use expressions in custom metadata attributes.
It can create complex data types with WSDL descriptions for ColdFusion web services. For more information, see Using ColdFusion components to define data types for web services in Publishing web services.
It can provide documentation of component properties in the ColdFusion introspection output. The introspection information includes the values of the standard cfproperty tag attributes.
Note: The cfproperty tag does not create a variable or assign it a value. It is used for information purposes only. You use a cfset tag, or CFScript assignment statement, to create the property and set its value.
Note: ColdFusion mappings and custom tag roots can exist within the web root. If so, they are accessible to remote requests, including URL, form, Flash Remoting, and web services invocation.
In this example, the price.cfc file must be in the catalog\product subdirectory of a directory that ColdFusion searches for components, as listed in the preceding table. When you refer to a component using the qualified name, ColdFusion looks for the component in the order described in Specifying the CFC location in Using ColdFusion components-Developing guide.
Establishing a descriptive naming convention is a good practice, especially if you plan to install the components as part of a packaged application.

Litwin's Locks: NFL Week 8 picks
Published Oct 31, 2020 5:16pm
Updated Nov 3, 2020 1:17pm
By Seth Litwin
Heather Newberry | The Daily Wildcat
An Arizona player holds a football prior to the UA-ASU rivalry game on Nov. 25, at Sun Devil Stadium.
Welcome to the second week of Litwin's Locks. In its debut week, Litwin's Locks went 6-6-1 picking teams against the spread. Going .500 is always better than losing when it comes to betting games. No time for regrets or excuses as we have a new week's worth of games to lock. Remember, bet only what you can afford to lose.
"Total" is my sports betting term for this week. A "total" is the combined score of the two teams as projected by the oddsmakers. Bettors will either bet "over" or "under" the total. For example, let's say the "total" for a game is 50.5 points. Team A scores 20 points and Team B scores 25 for a combined score of 45. Those who bet the "under" would win. Lines according to ESPN as of Oct. 29.
New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills (Sunday)
Line: Bills -4.0, Total: 41
The days of the Patriots' reign over the AFC East seem like a distant memory. Cam Newton was benched late in last week's game against the Niners after throwing three interceptions. The Patriots' offense does not have a single player that could scare a defense. Sure, Julian Edelman is a good player, but he is not someone that defensive coordinators stay up at night thinking about. The Bills did not look good on Sunday in spite of their win against the New York Jets. A one-score win against the tanking Jets is not something to brag about. Expect this game to be low scoring and the Bills to cover late. Pick: Bills -4
Tennessee Titans at Cincinnati Bengals (Sunday)
Line: Titans -5.5, Total: 53.5
It's miserable being a Bengals' fan. Each week, they find a new and creative way to lose. Last week, they let the Browns score a touchdown with 11 seconds remaining in the game. How they lose to the Titans this week is anyone's guess. The Titans are coming off a tough loss to the undefeated Steelers. Despite the loss, the Titans are well-coached and all signs indicate they blow the Bengals out, especially since the Bengals' offensive line is in shambles after losing three starting lineman against the Browns. Titans' running back Derrick Henry likely has a big game; however, since I am a hopeless Bengals' fan, I will once again take the Bengals. Pick: Bengals +5.5
Las Vegas Raiders at Cleveland Browns (Sunday)
Line: Browns -2.5, Total: 50.5
The Browns won a thriller last week over my Bengals, but it came at a cost. Star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. tore his ACL and is out the rest of the season. OBJ is a great player, but Browns' quarterback Baker Mayfield played much better after he left the field. The Browns' defense has some serious holes in the secondary and was torched by Bengals' quarterback Joe Burrow last week. At the same time, the Raiders were blown out at home against the Buccaneers. Their offensive line is dealing with some positive tests and at this moment I am not sure who will be playing. Heading east, with the flight and time change, to play a good team after a loss will be tough for the Raiders. Pick: Browns -2.5
Indianapolis Colts at Detroit Lions (Sunday)
Line: Colts -3, Total: 50
The Lions can be added to the growing list of teams who beat the Falcons in the fourth quarter. The Lions just bolstered their pass rush by trading a conditional pick to the Cowboys for defensive end Everson Griffen. The Colts are coming off a bye week and are hoping that will jumpstart their up and down offense. The Lions feel like a team that can beat or be beaten by any team. Hopefully, I guessed right this week. Pick: Lions +3
LOCK OF THE WEEK
Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers (Sunday)
Line: Packers -7, Total: 50.5
I picked the Packers last week as my lock of the week and, as the old saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." The Packers very well might be the best team in the NFL and that bad man Aaron Rodgers is playing some of the best ball of his career. The Vikings are on the opposite side of the spectrum with a disappointing season so far. The current Vikings' defense is not the same defense that has been terrorizing opponents the last few years. Sit back, relax and watch Aaron Rodgers win you some cash. Pick: Packers -7
New York Jets at Kansas City Chiefs (Sunday)
Line: Chiefs -19.5, Total: 49
This is the NFL's equivalent of a big-time college team scheduling a small school to blow out at the beginning of its season. My gut wants me to take the Jets and the points since 19.5 is the biggest line I have seen in the NFL. My brain knows the Chiefs are better at every single position. In full tank mode, the Jets are keeping head coach Adam Gase. An interim coach might get them a win, but Gase will insure that doesn't happen. Pick: Chiefs -19.5
RELATED: Bryce Collins: A long road to recovery
Los Angeles Rams at Miami Dolphins (Sunday)
Line: Rams -3.5, Total: 46
The Rams dismantled the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. But now, after a short week, the Rams have to fly across the country. That is tough for any team no matter how talented. A new sheriff is in town for the Dolphins; this week will see rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa start his first NFL game. This would not be the debut game I would choose to start a rookie quarterback with past durability issues. Rams' future HOF defensive tackle Aaron Donald is going to be all over him. Tagovailoa has all the tools to be one of the greats, but this is a brutal week to jump into the ocean that is the NFL. Pick: Rams -3.5
Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens (Sunday)
Line: Ravens -4, Total: 46.5
A huge rivalry game for first place in the AFC North; this will be a classic slugfest between two teams that hate each other. For my readers not familiar with the AFC North, it's the only division in football in which all four teams (Cincinnati, Cleveland, Baltimore and Pittsburgh) play outside in cold weather cities. Both Baltimore and Pittsburgh play great defense making this game a tough pick. In the end, I leaned toward the quarterback I would want to have the ball on a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter, and that is Ben Roethlisberger. Pick: Steelers +4
Los Angeles Chargers at Denver Broncos (Sunday)
Line: Chargers -3, Total: 44.5
Chargers' rookie quarterback Justin Herbert has been playing great football to start his career. The Chargers are the best 2-4 team I have seen. They keep it close right up until they find a way to lose. The Broncos are dealing with some injuries. After picking them to cover last week against the Chiefs, I won't make that mistake again. Pick: Chargers -3
New Orleans Saints at Chicago Bears (Sunday)
Line: Saints -4.5, Total: 43.5
The Chicago Bears have an elite defense and a horrific offense, which consists solely of throwing jump balls to wide receiver Allen Robinson. They have a Super Bowl ready defense being dragged down by an inept offense. I have no idea what the status is for Saints' wide receiver Michael Thomas. Between battling injuries and teammates, he has not been on the field recently. This game may be low scoring, but the Saints have more talent and should win by more than four and a half. Pick: Saints -4.5
San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks (Sunday)
Line: Seahawks -3, Total: 54
The Seahawks lost a thriller last Sunday night against the Cardinals but still remain one of the best teams in football. The 49ers had an impressive win over a Patriots' team that might not be very good. These teams usually play pretty tight games that come down to the wire. The Seahawks' defense needs to play at a higher level if they want to make a Super Bowl run. This week, they added defensive end Carlos Dunlap in a trade with the Bengals. Despite last week's hiccup, I don't bet against Russell Wilson. Pick: Seahawks -3
Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles (Sunday Night)
Line: Eagles -9, Total: 43
Why is this the Sunday Night Football game? The Dallas Cowboys don't deserve the honor of Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth. The Eagles barely beat the Giants last Thursday and the Cowboys were going nowhere before they lost quarterback Dak Prescott. The Cowboys should be banned from prime time games for the next 20 years. I hope the NFL flexes the Steelers vs. Ravens game to this spot. The Eagles may be a miserable team, but the Cowboys are worse. Pick: Eagles -9
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New York Giants (Monday Night)
Line: Bucs -11.5, Total: 45
This game is a stinker. Prime time games are supposed to be entertaining. The Giants are helpless and quarterback Daniel Jones getting tackled by the "turf monster" is what 2020 would look like if it were a football play. Tom Brady has this Bucs' offense humming and, with the addition of wide receiver and frostbite survivor Antonio Brown, the Bucs offense will score some points. Will I watch this game? Absolutely, but it will not be fun. Pick: Bucs -11.5

India and Fiji Inks Agreement on Defence Cooperation
India and Fiji has signed an MoU on defence cooperation after the delegation level talks between Minister of Defence, Finance and Corporate Affairs, Arun Jaitley and the Minister of Defence and National Security of Fiji, Ratu Inoke Kubuabola in New Delhi. The MoU envisaged cooperation on defence industry, military training, humanitarian assistance & disaster management. In particular, Defence partnership as well as the maritime security and naval cooperation were identified as an area of promise. The MoU provides for stepping up of defence and security ties in defence production and military training.
India-Fiji
Fiji is an archipelago consisting of 332 islands located in the heart of Pacific Ocean. The main ethnic groups in the Fiji include Fijian, Indian, European, and other Pacific Islanders. As of now, around 37% of the total inhabitants of the country are of Indian origin.
India was represented by a commissioner since 1948 to look after the interests of the people of Indian origin. After Fiji's independence in 1970, the commissioner's post was upgraded to that of the High Commissioner. India and Fiji's bilateral ties have grown steadily in the past few years. Several MoUs have been signed between the two countries in the fields of health, Tourism, IT, defence and security.

Cloud // Infrastructure as a Service
Charles Babcock
Microsoft's Azure IoT Suite Is Now Available
Azure users now have the option of joining the Internet of Things and collecting and analyzing their machine data with Microsoft's IoT Suite.
IoT World: Separating Smart And Dumb Things
Microsoft is announcing a series of changes coming to its Azure cloud in a virtual event, AzureCon, which starts Tuesday. These updates include applications for the Internet of Things, Linux container orchestration, and a greater degree of security and trust being made available in Azure cloud operations.
Scott Guthrie, executive vice president of the Azure Cloud and Enterprise division, will offer the main address at VirtualCon, which gets underway at 9 a.m. PDT on Sept. 29.
Mike Schutz, general manager of cloud platform marketing, said in an interview in advance of the event that Microsoft will stake out a larger position on the Internet of Things during AzureCon.
"The Internet of Things is a hot topic. This announcement is the one we think is the really big one," Schultz said.
Microsoft announced that its IoT Suite, first announced in April, is now available for purchase. The suite will perform a set of IoT services, such as data stream collection and storage. The suite can also apply functions such as remote monitoring, fleet or asset management, and predictive maintenance.
The machine data can also be fed into Microsoft's Power BI, its Azure-based analytics system, for "analysis and rich visualization," said Schutz.
Microsoft's suite is meant to combine services so that many industries not known for being highly technical can nevertheless take advantage of the IoT.
An example of a company using Microsoft IoT is Rockwell Automation as it monitors its control systems in the field of oil and gas drilling and production, pipeline transport, and distribution. The company uses Azure IoT services to provide advanced services to its oil and gas producing customers.
ThyssenKrupp, the German elevator company, also uses IoT services to monitor and perform predictive maintenance on the 1.1 million elevators that it maintains worldwide, Schutz noted.

Asked if Microsoft IoT customers will have to store their data in the cloud, Schutz said, "In many cases they'll want to, because that makes it easier to do the analytics there. But they don't have to. They can store it on-premises and still have ways to plug it into the cloud's analytics."
Microsoft has also certified a set of partners as part of its IoT ecosystem. They include: Beaglebone, Freescale, Intel, Raspberry Pi, Resin.io, Seeed, and Texas Instruments.
"We are seeing players jockeying for position to get ahead in IoT and we expect this to be a big area, but for right now most vendors are still building their functionality out. IoT is generally a huge partner play which plays to Microsoft's ecosystem building advantage," said Al Hilwa, IDC software development analyst, in an email response to a question about Microsoft's IoT positioning.
Playing Nice With Containers
Microsoft has been talking about containers for Windows Server hosts for some time, and Windows developers will still have to wait a little longer for them to arrive until Windows Server 2016 sometime next year.
In the meantime Microsoft is buffing up Azure's ability to handle Linux containers running Linux applications on Azure in Hyper-V virtual machines. Azure now supports the Apache Software Foundation's Mesos container orchestration system, which allows a multi-container application to be provisioned and launched on the Azure platform. It will also work with Mesosphere's Data Center Operating System based on Mesos.
Microsoft is making Mesos orchestration available now in order to give Azure users a chance to get acquainted with it. When Docker containers are supported under Windows Server, they will be able to be orchestrated in groups using Mesos the same way Linux containers are, Schutz said.
"Once you start moving tens, hundreds, or thousands of containers into production, as you will if you're wildly successful with containers, then you'll need orchestration."
Microsoft also announced Azure Security Center for customers to use as they manage their virtual machines in the cloud. The center allows a customer to configure anti-malware for their VMs, supply firewalls for their Web applications, or turn on advanced threat detection capabilities.
[Want to learn more about Microsoft's Power BI? See Microsoft Power BI Makeover: 6 Big Improvements.]
The security center can help a data center manager determine whether any of his Azure users has been compromised, and gathers information from a company's deployments to compare with Microsoft's knowledgebase of known threats. It also allows a security manager to make use of third-party protections, such as software from Barracuda, Checkpoint, Cisco, CloudFlare, F5 Networks, Imperva, Incapsula, and TrendMicro, with cloud deployments.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella first talked about the upcoming suite in his March 16 at the Microsoft Convergence event in Atlanta.
Schutz said that Microsoft IoT Suite, its cloud security center and the open source that it's incorporated into its container orchestration illustrate how the company is "providing customer choice in how they set up these solutions."
Indeed, three years ago, it would not have seemed likely that Microsoft would be providing open source container orchestration from Linux before its Windows container support was available. But success in the cloud is driven as much by openness as by restrictiveness, Microsoft's current generation of executives has concluded.

Itofazprospectality is the concept that in the future if you are alive there will be an itobody that is producing a consciousness that you experience (it has your ixperiencitness). This itobody will be producing a physapath that is by definition the structure and functioning of the itobody (human body) over time. If this same physapath or an appropriately close approximation was produced now in a different itobody it would be producing the same consciousness that your body will be producing in the future but now. Not only will it produce the same consciousness it will produce the same ixperiencitness as well. This means that you will be experiencing in this other itobody exactly what you will be experiencing in the future but you will be experiencing it now. Itofazextension is the concept that there are many physapath extensions after death for each person or other conscious being that is a continuation of their consciousness and ixperiencitness. When the two concepts of Itofazprospectality and Itofazextension are combined the future experiences that you (or other original) could have experienced if you would have lived longer could be produced now by creating the appropriate physapath or neuropath now.

SNW: SNIA Advances Cloud, Green Storage Standards
By Kevin Komiega
The Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) used this week's Storage Networking World (SNW) conference as a launching pad to announce the latest advances in its efforts to standardize cloud storage and power efficiency standards for storage systems.
The Green Storage Initiative
As part of its green storage efforts, the group today unveiled the SNIA Green Storage Initiative's (GSI) SNIA Emerald program, including a website (currently in beta) built to allow vendors and interested parties time to prepare for the forthcoming public release of the SNIA Emerald Power Efficiency Measurement Specification.
According to SNIA's chairman and senior technologist at EMC, Wayne Adams, the Emerald program is designed to provide a vendor-neutral power efficiency test measurement specification and serve as a clearinghouse for sharing the results of using the specification. The website will provide the resources needed to learn about, evaluate, test and share storage system power usage and efficiency.
Adams said the Emerald program will help drive continuous improvements in storage system power efficiency. "The specification will provide a baseline for apples-to-apples comparisons of power profiles for active and idle workloads, he said."
There is a nominal fee associated with participation in the program. SNIA members will pay about $300 to download and use the specification, and post their power efficiency measurements to the Emerald program's website. Non-members can expect to pay about $500. The money will go towards "sustaining the program's infrastructure," Adams said.
Vendors who use the specification will be allowed to post the results to the central repository and obtain a SNIA Emerald logo for those results. In turn, others can view the test results of various storage systems and an indication of which products have met and undergone the Emerald testing requirements.
The Cloud Storage Initiative Expands
On the cloud storage front, SNIA announced several new additions to its Cloud Storage Initiative (CSI). The new members of the group include cloud computing vendors and managed service providers CA Technologies, Cisco, CoreVault, Iron Mountain, Recovery Networks and Terremark Worldwide, bringing its membership to 23 companies.
The CSI completed work on its first cloud standard, the CDMI (Cloud Data Management Interface), earlier this year. The CDMI provides standards for the data path to clouds, includes the ability to manage service levels that data receives when it is stored in the cloud, and includes a common interoperable data exchange format for securely moving data and its associated data requirements between clouds.
The CDMI is based on a RESTful HTTP protocol, and requires providers to implement stringent access controls and encryption of data for security purposes. The standard enables developers to mark cloud storage containers and data objects with Data System Metadata to enforce service-level requirements for the data.
The new members join the CSI's founders, Actifio, Bycast, Cleversafe, CloudOptix, Dell, Desktone, EMC, Hitachi Data Systems, HP, LSI, Mezeo, NetApp, Olocity, Oracle, Symantec and Xiotech.
The SNIA is offering a first-hand look at the CDMI at this week's SNW conference in Dallas, Texas.

Q: My Android App starts automatically EDIT: found out its a problem with my messagereceiving service for push notifications. if i stop service on closing the app the problem doesn't appear anymore but if i click on the received notification in my phone, it starts my app from the wrong activity...
in my messagereceivingservice.java i do
    postNotification(new Intent(context, NotificationsActivity.class), context);

so is this the issue?
I am doing an app in android where users can create their own profile to interact with their friends.The app includes google maps and push notifications are implemented.
I can't find out since when this happens but for a while now the app restarts automatically after a while if the user stops or closes the app.
since i can't post all of my code here, Did anyone come across this problem and has an idea where to search for the source of this problem? may be any service running when app is closed that forces app to restart? i must say i am pretty desperate because the app itself runs perfectly apart from this problem.
at least here is my AndroidManifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

When Zira's father was a high ranking General when she was just a baby, after Zira turned fourteen however he decided to retire and train Zira firebending. Her mother greatly disapproved seeing that Zira was only fourteen and she also wanted her daughter to have nothing to do with the war. However, her father blew her mother off and trained Zira for the next four years.
At the age of 18 Zira was sent to live with her grandmother but the night before she had left her parents were ambushed by water nation soldiers outside their home which resided infront of a lake. Zira had fought alongside her parents but due to the waterbenders having an advantage zira watched her parents being froze into a block of ice filled with water and drowning.
Sparing her life Zira grabbed her things that same night and decided to leave her parents residence. However before she had left Zira did one last thing..set it on fire. The last thing she wanted was a reminder of how she failed protecting her parents and vowed to herself never to firebend again unless she had to.
For the past two years she has been living in her grandmothers home, who seems to always be gone to visit with other family members. So most people believe that Zira is living alone in the house.
But you can only have two special abilities, so one will have to be removed.


On Friday, the Agriculture Department's Foreign Agricultural Service announced that private exporters had reported sales of 300,000 metric tons of soybeans for delivery to China during the 2018-19 marketing year. That announcement followed a statement from FAS Thursday that private exporters had reported sales of 1.13 million tons of soybeans to China.
Whether President Donald Trump will follow through on his promise to make a second round of trade aid payments – formally Market Facilitation Payments – to farmers before the end of 2018 remained unclear Sunday following additional Chinese soybean purchases on Friday and Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney's elevation to White House chief of staff.
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and Agriculture Deputy Secretary Steve Censky both said last week that OMB was resisting the second round of payments in hopes that increased Chinese purchases would make them necessary. Perdue said Thursday that Mulvaney "is always looking to hold on to money." Censky said the same day in Iowa that USDA is "arm wrestling" with OMB over the Market Facilitation Program and its costs, DTN/The Progressive Farmer reported.
Perdue told reporters on Thursday that he would meet with Mulvaney on Friday. House Agriculture Committee ranking member Collin Peterson, D-Minn., said that Perdue would meet with the president to discuss the payments.
On Friday, the Agriculture Department's Foreign Agricultural Service announced that private exporters had reported sales of 300,000 metric tons of soybeans for delivery to China during the 2018-19 marketing year. That announcement followed a statement from FAS Thursday that private exporters had reported sales of 1.13 million tons of soybeans to China.
Meanwhile, Trump announced late Friday that Mulvaney would become the acting White House chief of staff.
USDA did not issue a statement on White House meetings on Friday.
On Sunday, the Agriculture Department Office of Communications did not respond to an email asking whether Perdue's scheduled meeting had taken place or whether there had been any resolution about the issue.
Before this week's soybean sales, U.S. exporters had sold only about 523,000 tons of the commodity to China for delivery in the 2018-19 marketing year, which began Sept. 1, Politico reported.
In contrast, at this same point last year, U.S. exporters had sold 21.5 million tons of soybeans to China for delivery in 2017-18, Politico added. Total U.S. soybean exports to China in 2017-18 were 27.7 million tons, down from 36.2 million in 2016-17 — before Trump began his tariff campaign, Politico said.
China announced Friday that on Jan. 1 it will remove the 25 perceTrant tariff imposed on vehicles in retaliation for U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum, Bloomberg reported.
China also may buy at least 3 million metric tons of American corn, Washington Trade Daily reported.
Trump tweeted Friday, "China just announced that their economy is growing much slower than anticipated because of our Trade War with them. They have just suspended U.S. Tariff Hikes. U.S. is doing very well. China wants to make a big and very comprehensive deal. It could happen, and rather soon!"

Q: If an element in a Banach algebra is anihilated by an analytic function then it must be algebraic. Let $A$ be a Banach algebra, let $a\in A$ and suppose $f(a)=0$, where $f$ is an analytic function defined on an open set $U$ containing $\sigma(a)$.  Prove that $a$ is algebraic in the sense that $p(a)=0$ for some polynomial $p$.

PS: I have just answered an identical question a few minutes ago but then, almost immediately, the questioner deleted the question and with it my nice answer which I enjoyed very much writing. I am therefore asking it again and I'll soon post my answer here.
Should anyone point me to some Stack Exchange guideline I'm disrespecting by doing so, I'll gladly delete everything again.

A: As stated this result does not hold.  First of all $f$ could be zero in which case "$f(x)=0$" gives no information
whastoever.  Even if $f$ is nonzero, it still could be zero on the connected component of its domain containing $\sigma (x)$,
and then "$f(x)=0$" again says nothing.
In order to prove the result it is important to assume that $f$ is not identically zero on any connected component of
its domain.
This said, by the Spectral  Mapping Theorem,
$$
  \{0\} = \sigma (f(x)) = f(\sigma (x)),
  $$
which says that $f$ vanishes on the spectrum of $x$.  Because $\sigma (x)$ is compact, and because the set of zeros of an
analytic function satisfying our hypothesis cannot have accumulation points, if follows that $\sigma (x)$ is a finite set.
Writing
$$
  \sigma (x) = \{a_1, a_2, \ldots ,  a_n\},
  $$
for every $i=1,2,\ldots ,n$ we   let $n_i$ be the (finite) order of  $a_i$ as a zero of $f$, so that
$$
  f(z)=g(z)\prod_{i=1}^n(z-a_i)^{n_i},
  $$
for all $z$, where $g$ is some analytic function defined on the domain of  $f$, not vanishing on any $a_i$.
It follows that
$$
  0=f(x)=g(x)\prod_{i=1}^n(x-a_i)^{n_i},
  $$
but since $g(x)$ is invertible (again by the Spectral Mapping Theorem), we must have that
$\prod_{i=1}^n(x-a_i)^{n_i}=0$,  as desired.

Deontay Wilder hopes for Anthony Joshua fight in September
by Phil Jay
29th May 2018 11th January 2023
Lawrence Lustig / Ryan Hafey
Deontay Wilder still holds out a small hope of headlining a massive undisputed heavyweight championship fight in his homeland of America.
However, the US star has given the first indication that he's willing to back down on his original demands.
A $50m offer to Anthony Joshua to hold the fight at a stateside venue has been passed up by the Briton, who, alongside his promoter Eddie Hearn, favors a stadium in the United Kingdom.
Deontay Wilder vs Anthony Joshua
Wilder is in constant dialogue with his team regarding the contest, which could be announced by the end of this month – one way or another.
"If we have it in England, it'll be September. But if it's here in America, then it'll be November," Wilder told Fight Hub TV.
"We're still in negotiations. So I don't have a time frame yet, but I want to let everybody know the fight will happen.
"If they're still serious, we've been serious this way through. Joshua said he wanted the $50 million and would sign tomorrow.
"We did exactly what he said. He didn't sign so that shows you his or his team's character.
"I think Joshua wants to fight. But I don't think his team wants to risk what they've invested. Their investment is about to go, and they know it," he added.
Mandatory challenger
As Hearn stated in his Daily Mail Column on Tuesday, Alexander Povetkin is the alternate option as the WBA's mandatory challenger.
"We are probably about two weeks away from a decision on AJ's next fight. September has been earmarked for his return, and all focus remains on Deontay Wilder," Hearn told The Mail.
"AJ and the team believe that after everything built here, the UK should be the home of this undisputed historic bout. Conversations continue with the Wilder camp.
"Russian Alexander Povetkin is the likely choice if Wilder refuses to travel. Povetkin is the WBA mandatory, and both fights are extremely dangerous," he said.
Delaying Joshua v Wilder further could line up a backlog of challengers as the IBF has already ordered Kubrat Pulev v Dillian Whyte to be staged in the next couple of months.

Everyday I have to battle negative thoughts and more often than not there's no real reason for it. Sometimes I get so involved in soothing my panicked mind that I forget to live my life. I forget my responsibilities and just cry. That's been happening for the past few months.
I am currently not attending college. It's my dirty academic secret. I've spent months beating myself up over being too weak to handle being overwhelmed with everything in my life. College graduates have to be strong, exhausted but strong. They have to push past every breakup, every professor calling them out in class, every minute they want to give up and never think about midterms again. Make no mistake, I am not a college graduate. And I thought for so long that because I couldn't push anymore and couldn't finance my education that I was not worthy of having a degree.
I kept thinking that if I didn't write about what's bothering me, maybe it wouldn't be true. But if I want to be better, I need to write about these things. I shouldn't be ashamed anymore.
So the lesson for today and everyday is to leave my head when I'm stressed. Turning inward is no longer effective for me. At this point, I'm tired of self destructing.


NetMundial, the Global Multistakeholder Meeting on the Future of Internet Governance concluded recently in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The meeting's goal was to develop internet governance principles and proposing a roadmap for the further evolution of the Internet governance ecosystem. In total, 1,480 participants from all stakeholder groups were physically present at NetMundial while, there were more than 30 hubs around the world (from 97 countries) with at least 200 daily views thus facilitating remote participation.
NetMundial concluded with the approval by acclamation of a final statement on internet governance principles. The final text built on the contributions made at the initial NetMundial open submission process and inputs from the Public Consultation at the NETmundial's website. However, in the process of negotiations and attempts to reach consensus, compromises were made along the way. With this blog post we compare the contributions from the African region with the final NetMundial statement.
Generally, the final NetMundial statement is in line with the priorities expressed in the African submissions in acknowledging the universality of human rights and taking into consideration internet governance priorities from developing countries' perspectives. For example, the NetMundial outcome document recognizes that the internet is a global resource, which should be managed in the public interest.
The final text was also consistent with African inputs in reinforcing the point that the same rights that people have offline must also be protected online, elaborating certain rights such as freedom of expression, freedom of association, and privacy among others.
With regards to rights of accessibility for people with disabilities, the final NetMundial text went beyond what most of the African submissions called for, stating that persons with disabilities should enjoy full access to online resources and citing the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
industries), for example, emphasized the need to protect intellectual property rights. Regrettably the language on freedom of information was altered to include the phrase "consistent with the rights of authors and creators as established in law" as a result of intensive lobbying from elements within the private sector. Even within Africa there were different views on this issue.
On Access and low barriers, it is notable that this was a key issue for African stakeholders, with at least one submission from each of the stakeholders focused on this. The final NetMundial text asserted that "Internet governance should promote universal, equal opportunity, affordable and high quality Internet access." This goes beyond what the African submissions called for, as they did not use the term "high quality internet," but is a welcome inclusion.
We can also note that both the African submissions and the final text recommend an extension of the current IGF mandate to a few more years.
Most African submissions addressing the globalization of ICANN and the IANA transition focused on this matter only focused on the importance of multistakeholder involvement in the process and did not suggest how the globalization ought to be carried out.
In conclusion, one can say that generally speaking the outcome of NetMundial reflected the priorities expressed in the submissions coming from Africa.
It is important to note, however, that the language of the NetMundial statement was watered down when compared against the text included in the African submissions in some respects. This left some of the paragraphs of the final text too vague and open to varied interpretations.
Perhaps the best example of this is NetMundial's treatment of net neutrality: Some aspects of net neutrality were contained in the outcome document, such as the principle that "data packets/information to flow freely end to- end regardless of the lawful content," but the term itself was not included, except in the section "Points to be discussed beyond NetMundial." Net neutrality was a clear priority in some African Submissions: Contribution of the government of Tunisia, African ICT/IG Stakeholders, CIPIT Kenya and in Sudan's Beta Advanced Projects.
One reason African priorities are not always addressed at international internet governance processes is that there are often low levels of participation from the region. In the case of NetMundial, the meeting had approximately at least 200 daily views from remote participants across each of the 5 hubs located in Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Tunisia and there were 77 participants physically present in Brazil.
While participation from Africa may have been lower than that of other regions, African governments made up one-quarter of the group of governments co-hosting NetMundial- Ghana, South Africa, Tunisia among the 12 countries that co-hosted the meeting. There were also a number of prominent African persons in leadership positions in the meeting: Nnenna Nwakanma spoke as a civil society speaker in the opening ceremony, Jimson Olufuye, Tarek Kamel, Adiel Akplogan, Anriette Esterhuysen and Andile Ngcaba among others participated as members of leadership committees and chairs of sessions.
In order to bring the NetMundial outcome forward in Africa, it is up to those who engaged in the process and see value in its outcome to continue to press for progress around their priorities. There is no shortage of fora to do so. Africans who participated physically and remotely at NetMundial are already engaging through various mailing lists such as: AfNOG (African Network Operators Group), AFRINIC (African Network Information Center), AfREN (The African research and education networking), AfTlD (African Top Level Domains Organization), AfricaCERT, ISOC African Chapters, the African IGFs, the AfPIF (African Peering and Interconnection Forum) and AfriSIG (Africa School of Internet Governance). Most of these organizations have slotted sessions regarding issues pointed out in NetMundial final document during their physical meetings in 2014.

Pixar's Inside Out Will Make You Cry
Stars Mindy Kaling and Amy Poehler admittedly got emotional when the movie was in-the-making.

We have Pixar to thank for capturing so many youth lessons, don't we? Seeing the good in monsters, and being your own superhero, and learning to, well, love. For every heartwarming message delivered by Woody or Sulley or Nemo, though, there's also an underlying impression of sadness that never goes unnoticed. Toy Story 3's tearful conclusion, and the entire opening scene of Up—but that's the whole catch with Pixar movies. They really do, as noted by Vulture, "help children understand that sadness is a part of life."
The notion is no exception for Pixar's 15th film in its tribe Inside Out, which debuted at Cannes Film Festival on Monday. It takes place inside the mind of Riley, an 11 year-old girl, with five primary emotions struggling for control of her brain. Local breeds Amy Poehler and Mindy Kaling voice the characters of Joy (Poehler) and Disgust (Kaling), joined by Fear (Bill Hader), Sadness (Phyllis Smith) and Anger (Lewis Black).
Poehler's Joy is the leading character desperately trying to steer Riley's psyche away from the burdensome emotions—therefore, quite literally addressing Pixar's ever-present theme.
Kaling and Poehler each admitted at the screening that they were rather emotional during the production stages. "I remember Pete [Docter, director] saying, 'I think you're just going to cry all day today,'" Poehler said told the press at Cannes. "And I was like, yes!"
Kaling added, "It was the first time I was meeting [Docter and Del Carmen] and they were showing me the story and I started weeping. I think what moved me about it is that it gives voice to a demographic that is not often given voice to."
Producer Jonas Rivera told the Toronto Star that he'll never forget Kaling's reaction when she read the script: "She started to tear up as we were pitching her, and we said, 'Are you OK?' And she said, 'Just the fact that you're making a movie that tells little girls it's hard to grow up and it's OK to be sad about things, it's really profound.'"
Following the debut screening, Inside Out's reception was—even amongst Holocaust dramas, lesbian romance films, and a trippy Matthew McConaughey flick—"probably double the loudest applause of any other film at the festival," according to USA Today. Indeed.
