Q: Disable File Copy between VMs When I access multiple virtual desktops via VMware View 4, I'm able to copy files between VMs. The VMs are located in different isolated networks. This is a security concern in my organization and how can I disable this feature? I'm not able to find any related configuration in View Connection Server. Thanks!

A: I don't know View Connection Server, but on my VM Settings (in VM Workstation), I have a point "Guest Isolation" in the Options tab. There you can enable/disable drag and drop and also copy/paste. Although this is not an answer, it may help you anyway..

A: Try adding isolation.tools.copy.enable = "FALSE" & isolation.tools.paste.enable = "FALSE" to the .vmx files, I'm not a View user but that works for WS.


A lot of the fun in the past week has revolved around food, I'm not going to lie. At work last week we were told there was a "Chocolate Strawberry Waffle Extravaganza" (new #53) on Thursday as a reward for reaching a service goal. Not really sure I knew what that would be, but it did in fact involve chocolate Belgian waffles, sauce, ice cream, chocolate covered strawberries and more! And after that food coma, we had Mexican at Blue Bonnet (#54). Chips and salsa were exactly what I needed.....Friday progressed to a new little bar called Prickly Pete's (#55) and it may have been the first time I went to happy hour at a place and returned there for breakfast the next day. After a restful Saturday afternoon, the gluttony continued with brunch at Le Central (#56) on Sunday morning. And then there was the funnel cake. En route to City Park Jazz (#57) we cut through the Denver Black Arts Festival where, just like any place funnel cakes are sold, the line was ridiculously long. But I did, at long last, persevere and get my treat to better enjoy the concert.


In New York, arbitration and mediation clauses are common in operating agreements, shareholder agreements, construction contracts, employment contracts, and real estate sales and lease agreements. New York is home to many arbitration forums, including the American Arbitration Association (AAA), Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS), and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
Arbitration involves the submission of a dispute to a private arbitrator or panel of arbitrators, whose decision and award will be binding upon the parties. Mediation involves the submission of a dispute to a non-binding mediator to facilitate a voluntary settlement. Arbitration is faster and more predictable than litigation, but contrary to popular belief, can be more expensive than litigation because of the need to pay the arbitrator. Typically, the claimant is required to advance most costs of arbitration, but these cost can be shifted in the arbitration award. Under the American Arbitration Act and Article 75 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules, the New York courts recognize a strong public policy in favor of arbitration.
The lawyers at Muchmore & Associates PLLC are experienced in arbitrating commercial disputes and have obtained impressive results for our clients in arbitration. In one arbitration involving a contract for the replacement of nearly two thousand PTAC units in a major New York hotel, the firm's principal obtained an arbitration award in favor of the respondent in excess of a million dollars against the claimant. The firm has successfully compelled arbitration where the adversary sought to litigate, opposed the confirmation of an arbitration award, and served as the neutral arbitrator resolving a dispute between adversaries. The firm's lawyers will take the time to thoroughly review the details of your case and devise an arbitration strategy to achieve your objectives while minimizing the cost of arbitration.
Arbitration of Contract Disputes: While it is preferable to hire a lawyer before signing a contract, many clients wait to retain an attorney until arbitration is imminent. In such cases, it helps to engage a lawyer before the contract is terminated to put your position in writing and ensure you comply with the contract's provisions. Where possible, an effort should be made to settle the dispute on reasonable terms. If the adversary is unwilling to be reasonable, you need a lawyer that can prove your case and prevail in arbitration. Our lawyers aim to resolve disputes efficiently, but do not bend to unreasonable adversaries.
Arbitration of Business Disputes: Many shareholders agreements and operating agreements in New York provide that disputes must be resolved through arbitration or mediation. These clauses are frequently broad and include not only disputes under the agreement, but claims of breaches of fiduciary duty and the duty of good faith and fair dealing. Where one of the owners of a business materially breaches the operating or shareholder agreement, or his fiduciary obligations, the dispute must be submitted to arbitration or mediation, where negotiations typically focus on buying out one of the parties to the dispute, often pursuant to a formula or a bidding procedure specified in the contract.
Arbitration of Construction Disputes: Construction contracts in New York frequently contain arbitration clauses stating that any disputes must be resolved by the Arbitration Association of America under its Construction Industry Rules. Arbitration of construction disputes can be complex, as the contracts are often riddled with exculpatory clauses, including notice of claim requirements, no-damage-for-delay clauses, pay-when-paid clauses, liquidated damages clauses, and change order approval processes. Our lawyers have deep knowledge of construction law and have arbitrated and litigated more than a hundred cases involving the breach of construction contracts.
Arbitration of Employment Contract Disputes: Employment contracts in New York often contain arbitration clauses, which can reduce the risk of unpredictable jury verdicts, and dissuade claimants from advancing the costs of arbitration for frivolous claims. The firm's lawyers are experienced in issues of employment and labor law, including issues arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and the New York Labor Law. We can defend your company from employment-related claims in arbitration or litigation, and can use arbitration to secure your rights under non-compete, non-solicitation and non-disclosure provisions in your employment contracts.
Mediation: Mediation is simply a form of assisted settlement negotiation where a neutral mediator attempts to bring the parties toward a voluntary settlement. Many contracts have clauses requiring mediation before either party can assert claims in litigation or arbitration. Limited mediation sessions are sometimes provided by the New York courts free of charge, and can be productive where the adversary is reasonable. Where mediation is unsuccessful in resolving a dispute, the dispute must be resolved through litigation or arbitration, as mediators lack the authority to issue binding determinations on disputed issues.
Petitions to Compel or Stay Arbitration: Petitions to compel or stay arbitration are governed by § 7503 of the New York Civil Law and Rules. Normally, the claimant seeking to arbitrate the dispute files and serves a demand for arbitration with the contractually designated arbitration body, such as the American Arbitration Association. The respondent must then set file its written response, and if it fails to do so, an arbitration award will be entered on default. Where the respondent seeks to avoid arbitration, it can file a motion in court to stay arbitration, and the claimant can cross-move to compel arbitration. Where a plaintiff files a lawsuit in court based on a contract that contains an arbitration clause, the defendant can file a motion to stay the lawsuit and compel arbitration. So long as the contract encompasses a clear agreement to arbitrate, the New York courts will generally compel arbitration.
Confirming or Vacating Arbitration Awards: Once an arbitration award is granted, if the respondent fails to pay it, the claimant must file a petition in court pursuant to § 7510 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules to confirm the arbitration award. The respondent may oppose the petition and cross-move to vacate or modify the arbitration award. The only grounds for doing so are provided in § 7511 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules, and include (i) corruption, fraud or misconduct in procuring the award; or (ii) partiality of an arbitrator; or (iii) an arbitrator, or agency or person making the award exceeded his power; or (iv) failure to follow procedure. Typically, the arbitration award is confirmed and entered as a judgment of the court.

CD Projekt loses over £800,000 thanks to GOG
Michael BeckwithTuesday 30 Nov 2021 3:15 pm
GOG is getting old (pic: CD Projekt)
GOG's net profits are down compared to last year, prompting CD Projekt to start implementing some changes.
CD Projekt recently shared its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year. Compared to 2020, total revenues had gone up by 38%, to over 144 million złoty (just over £26 million). However, total net profits for the company have gone down by 30% to about 16.3 million złoty (nearly £3 million), and it seems GOG is the main culprit behind these losses.
As a reminder, GOG is CD Projekt's own online video game storefront, similar to the likes of Steam and the Epic Games Store. For whatever reason, it simply isn't turning a profit, with CD Projekt reporting a loss of about 4.75 million złoty (over £867,000).
To rectify this, CD Projekt has laid out some changes it's going to make. In an earnings call with investors (as transcribed by The Verge), chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz said 'Regarding GOG, its performance does present a challenge, and recently we've taken measures to improve its financial standing.
'First and foremost, we've decided that GOG should focus more on its core business activity, which means offering a handpicked selection of games with its unique DRM-free philosophy. In line with this approach, there will be changes in the team structure.'
This was initially GOG's unique selling point, as it focused on curating older games that were difficult to find and play. Over time, it gradually morphed into a more traditional storefront where you can purchase first and third party games. It also offers an online service called GOG Galaxy.
What possibly hasn't helped CD Projekt is the lack of new releases this year. Aside from augmented reality mobile game The Witcher: Monster Slayer, CD Projekt hasn't launched any major games in 2021.
Most of its time has been spent dealing with the fallout of Cyberpunk 2077's launch last December and releasing patches to fix the numerous bugs and glitches that plagued it.

Dedicated PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 were meant to have launched this year as well and would have likely turned a profit for CD Projekt, even if they wouldn't have been sold on GOG.
Unfortunately, both of them have been delayed to 2022. As it stands, Cyberpunk 2077 won't release until the first quarter (January to March) with The Witcher 3 to follow in the second quarter (April to June).

Graphic Novel (10+) and Cartooning (50+) Classes Produce Amazing Art!
Pens and pencils in a row, contour illustration. Isolated on white.
A drawing class is a wonderful venue to tell a story, express emotions, communicate and connect with others. Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL) conducted two five-session virtual classes in May and June: "Create a Graphic Novel" (for ages 10 and up) and "Cartooning" (for ages 50 +). In partnership with MCPL, illustrator, cartoonist and animator Leila Cabib taught the classes, offering a unique opportunity for participants to demonstrate their creativity and imagination.  Both classes were funded in part by a Wheaton Cultural Project Grant from the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County.
As they worked on their cartoons, students in "Create a Graphic Novel" learned to combine the conventions of graphic novel storytelling: narration, dialogue, character design, dynamic page layouts and cinematic techniques. They refined their rough pencil drawings into finished art with pen and ink and watercolor pencils.
View the artwork from Elisha J., Binyam, Mehak, Michelle, Stella, and Sofia in this gallery.
Participants were asked to pick a Wheaton locale for the setting of their stories. Brookside Gardens, Urban Artistry Dance Academy and Pine Lake at Wheaton Park were just a few of the settings of the cartoons created by students attending this class.
View the artwork from Sandra S., Patricia, Rosa, Peter, Peggie, James, and Nirmala in this gallery.
"Cartooning" class participants created caricatures, original characters, single- and multi-panel cartoons and experimented with pen-and-ink techniques. The Wheaton Library, the pond and the dog park at Wheaton Park were some of the scenarios participants chose to frame their artwork. Attendees at both 5-week session classes enjoyed sharing their artwork with each other during the Zoom sessions, which encouraged collaboration and fomented social interaction. MCPL and Cabib will offer "Create a Graphic Novel" (for ages 10 and up) and "Cartooning" (for ages 50 +) again virtually during fall 2021. Sign up today!

Librarian's Choice: Merciful Crow by Margaret Owen
Shortly before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, I discovered one of those books you want to share from the rooftops. It captured me, engaged me, and made me really think about how we engage with other people. I was ready to review it – when you find those books you can't put down, of course you want to share them – except when they're about a plague as a global pandemic is starting to hit your community. Now, as the Covid-19 pandemic is starting to get under control in Montgomery County, I feel like I can share this book a little easier.
Merciful Crow and its sequel, Faithless Hawk, by Margaret Owen, are the type of book that sticks with you and you can't let it go. The phrase "book hangover" comes to mind, except this hangover has lasted over a year. Yeah, it was that good!
Before I start, there are some content warnings for this series: there is a plague, mentions of physical and sexual assault, some gore, and a lot of death.
Fie is a Crow in her world, the lowest in a caste system where each group is named after different birds, with the royal family being the Phoenixes. Certain people in each caste have additional magic – and each of them is a reincarnated dead god. Death and life are interwoven in the stories, where the Crows "give mercy" to those dying from the plague and dispose of their bodies. It is this association that makes Crows the lowest of the low, only allowed to carry broken swords, and abused by the rest of their community. Crow magic is done through the discarded teeth of the people within the castes. When Fie's Crow family is called to the palace to give mercy to the prince and his bodyguard, everything changes. First, she collects the Phoenix teeth, which had been withheld from the Crows for centuries. Then she discovers that the prince and his bodyguard are in fact alive, and are fleeing from the palace to save the young prince's life. Fie must help him travel to his aunt, a mammoth rider and Hawk warrior, to return to the palace and overthrow his stepmother. While Fie would normally do nothing of the sort, there are two things that help her decide to help – her family is in danger, and the prince promises to protect the Crows.
What follows is not just a story about a prince trying to reclaim a throne, but a story about mercy, about how a harmful system can't be fixed with decrees but from within, and how the community is responsible for changing that system, not just the government. It also talks about the terrible cost of intergenerational trauma on a group of people.
For anyone looking for a good fantasy read, this may be what you are looking for. I'm currently playing through Dragon Age: Origins, and have noticed some plot similarities, so if you're a fantasy role playing game fan, definitely try it. It's also a great book for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Susan Dennard, and Tamora Pierce.

After winning its independence from Great Britain in the Revolutionary War, the new country situated on the eastern seaboard of North America needed to fashion some form of governmental system. The Articles of Confederation represent the first constitutional agreement made between the 13 American states. There was a need for unity among the new states that were created as a result of the American Revolution. The relative powers of the individual states and the Continental Congress also needed to be defined for the young country. These realities led Congress to entrust John Dickinson with the drafting of a federal constitution.
This debate led to several revisions and the document was adopted by the Congress on November 15, 1777. In its final form, the Articles of Confederation were comprised of a preamble and 13 articles. The document maintained the aspect of voting done by states, but taxes were based upon the value of buildings and land and not by a state's population. The Articles also specified that no state could be deprived of territory for the benefit of the country and that all 13 states had to agree to any amendment of the federal government's power.
The Articles of Confederation became the ruling document in the new nation after they were ratified by the last of the 13 American states, Maryland, in 1781. The Articles created a nation that was "a league of friendship and perpetual union." The state governments retained most of the power under this framework, with a subordinate position given to the central government. The central government commanded little respect and was not able to accomplish much because it had little jurisdiction over states or individuals.
Congress (the central government) was made up of delegates chosen by the states and could conduct foreign affairs, make treaties, declare war, maintain an army and a navy, coin money, and establish post offices. However, measures passed by Congress had to be approved by 9 of the 13 states.
Congress was severely limited in its powers. It could not raise money by collecting taxes; it had no control over foreign commerce; it could pass laws but could not force the states to comply with them. Thus, the government was dependent on the willingness of the various states to carry out its measures, and often the states refused to cooperate.
The articles were virtually impossible to amend, so problems could not be corrected.
In the words of George Washington, the government created by the Articles of the Confederation was "little more than the shadow without the substance." As the need for a stronger federal government began to be realized, leaders from throughout the states got together to decide how to create it. The Federal Constitutional Convention of 1787 was responsible for drafting the Constitution of the United States, the document which took the place of the Articles of Confederation in 1789.

X-rated view of Haven's next league opponents
By John Walsh
n Haven coaches Scott McAvoy, Jonty Gorley and Gary Charlton will prepare for Keighley	Picture: Ben Challis
Whitehaven's coaches can expect X-rated viewing when they study a video of Keighley's derby clash with Hunslet on Sunday.
Gary Charlton and Jonty Gorley were due to look at the match ahead of tonight's training session at the Recreation Ground.
The League One clash was marred by ugly scenes throughout and culminated in a mass brawl right after the final hooter.
Hunslet won the game 32-10 and are still right in the picture for a prominent place in the play-offs.
But it was the discipline of the players which dominated post-match views with Keighley head coach Rhys Lovegrove, saying: "They were unsavoury scenes and you don't want to see that on any rugby league field.
"You want to see a nice, clean and aggressive game but when you've got players going into challenges like that, especially against our younger players. I expect my experienced players to go in and stick up for them.
"So, I am proud of my lads that when the chips went down they weren't afraid to come and get stuck in. We'll have to now see how disciplinaries go when they come in."
The first half ended with the first of many ugly turns after a dangerous tackle led to a brawl and resulted in Keighley's Kieran Moran being sin-binned.
This then spilled into the tunnel as the sides made their way back into the dressing room, with Keighley full-back Louis Sheriff on the receiving end of a cheap punch.
Late on the game turned nasty once more with a series of altercations eventually resulting in Duane Straugheir (Hunslet) and Tyler Prell (Keighley) being sin-binned.
Then following the final hooter, a cheap shot on Keighley prop Spencer Darley resulted in him being hospitalised. That led to a mass brawl with the Cougars' second row Dan Parker sent off for an alleged butt with Hunslet's Josh Tonks and Dale Bloomfield also being shown red for fighting and running in and punching respectively.
Clearly suspensions will follow for players on both sides, and some may have even played their final games of the season.
Haven go to Keighley on Sunday looking for the first of three wins which will hand them the League One title.
There is also the possible scenario of Haven winning at Keighley and Oldham losing to Doncaster which would leave the Cumbrians able to win the championship at home to West Wales in their final home game of the season.
Haven chairman Tom Todd said: "That would be the perfect finish to the season, winning the League in front of our own fans. But we have to make sure we win at Keighley first."

Mabel Marguerite Annesley (1881 - 1959):
Mabel Marguerite, daughter of the fifth Earl Annesley, was born in the family's London home on 25th February 1881, but always regarded Castlewellan Castle in Co. Down as her real home. She was educated privately, but from the age of fourteen also studied at the Frank Calderon school of animal painting in London. At eighteen she was elected a member of the Belfast Art Society and exhibited with the Society for many years, as well as at numerous other venues. She married a naval officer, Gerald Sowerby in 1904; they had one son, Gerald (1904-1992). Her husband died in 1913, and a year later she inherited the Castle following the deaths of her husband and father, after which she resumed the name of Annesley.
She first learned the technique for which she became best known, wood engraving, at the Central School in London when she was about forty, and soon became regarded as one of its three or four leading exponents in Britain, especially in the field of book illustration (along with people like Gwen Raverat and Robert Gibbings). From the Ulster point of view, her illustrations of works like Richard Rowley's Apollo In Mourne are particularly notable; she and William Conor also designed the costumes for a pageant which Rowley wrote in celebration of the 1500th anniversary of St Patrick's landing in Ireland, performed at Castleward in 1932. In 1939 she presented the Belfast Museum and Art Gallery with a fine collection of contemporary wood-engravings, including twenty of her own works. Ill health, from which she regularly suffered, did not prevent her from producing a continuous stream of artistic work, nor indeed from moving house several times: She lived in Connemara and in Rathfriland, Co. Down, as well as in England.
During the Second World War, when Castlewellan was taken over for military purposes, she was bombed out of her Belfast house and emigrated to New Zealand, where for a number of years she was a trustee of the Bishop Suter Art Gallery in Nelson, South Island.
She exhibited in the Festival of Britain in 1952, and returned to England for good the following year, settling in Suffolk, where she died in 1959. She was buried in Long Melford. She left behind a remarkable, if unfinished autobiography called As The Sight Is Bent, which was published by the Museum Press with quotations from her equally remarkable letters filling in the gaps.
Annesley's work is represented in the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester, the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa and the National Gallery of New Zealand in Wellington, as well as in Belfast, Nelson and many other places.
Born: 25 February 1881
Died: 19 June 1959

All Americans need to take a good close look at the photo above. This is the result of the Obama administration's attempts to overthrow the government in Syria. It probably was not the intended result, per se, but it is the result nonetheless.
When you finance an army of crazed murderers and send them into a country to deliberately sow chaos and instability, people are naturally going to try and seek safety. If the chaos persists over a period of years with no end in sight, you will inevitably have a flood of refugees pouring out of the country. This is the problem Europe is confronting now–and they brought it all on themselves by supporting America's regime-change policies in Syria and Libya. Both countries were prosperous and had stable governments prior to the US interference.
The boy in the photo above, whose body washed up on a Turkish beach Wednesday, has been identified as three-year-old Aylan Kurdi, from the Syrian town of Kobani. His mother as well as his five-year-old brother, Galip, also drowned. Kobani is located near the Turkish border. The family were able to make it over that border and into Turkey, along with many other Syrians, in a stream of refugees that began when ISIS launched its siege on Kobani.
This summer tens of thousands of Syrian refugees have been making their way to Turkey's Aegean coast in particular, this in an effort to gain passage to Greece. According to some estimates, the number departing by boat has averaged about 2,000 per day over the past month. From the coast of Bodrum, in Turkey, to Kos, one of the eastern-most Greek islands, is only a distance of two miles, and some have been trying to make the trip in rubber dinghies. Early Wednesday, 23 people, including Aylan and his family, crowded into two small boats and set out for Kos from Akyarlar area of the Bodrum peninsula. Both of the vessels capsized in route to the island. You can go here to watch a video of Aylan's body being found on the beach. The video also shows the body of a woman being pulled from the waves.
Basically the voters of Syria had a choice between President Assad on the one hand, and chaos and cannibalism on the other. Not surprisingly, they chose Assad. Who wouldn't?
Recently Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov referred to Assad as the "legitimate leader" of Syria. He is correct. He is. But that makes no difference to the US. The US persists in its regime-change operation in Syria, training so-called "moderate" rebels, a group of misfits and degenerates whose thinking and ideology in reality differ very little from ISIS. Obama and the mainstream media don't credit the American people with a lot of intelligence. They obviously think you're insufficiently bright to put two and two together and figure out that the moderate citizens of Syria, i.e. they who adhere to the principles of religious tolerance, support their government, and that it's the crazies who in reality are enjoying the backing and support of NATO and its allies.
The death of this child is a tragedy. But of course Aylan is only one boy. Nealy a quarter of a million Syrians, according to some estimates, have died since the outbreak of the conflict in 2011. I'm going to say something that will sound startling and extreme to some, but the blood of every single one of these people is on the hands of the Obama administration, and particularly its policy makers in the State Department, as well as certain US allies. Anyone and everyone who has provided weapons, training, or any other type of support…to Al Nusra, ISIS or any of the other armed gangs terrorizing Syria and driving people from their homes…bears a share of the responsibility.
Aylan's death, largely thanks to the photo above, has captured the attention of the mainstream media, but of course the media have refused to assign the blame where it belongs. In fact the media, if anything, will likely spin the boy's death to justify further intervention in Syria. And this too is part of the problem. By cheering on these conflicts, and demonizing certain leaders of certain countries who do not support Israel's occupation of the Palestinians, the media, too, are a major part of the problem.
So where is all this headed? Latest reports are that Russia has entered the fighting in Syria, although the claim has been officially denied by Russia. Either way, it's hard to see this coming to a peaceful resolution anytime soon. Meanwhile the killing will continue and the refugee problem will not abate, but do not expect this to bother the conscience of the war planners in Washington. In the halls of the State Department, no such thing as a conscience even exists.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) will step up lending for technologies designed for both civil and military applications, in a move that is part of a wider plan to boost the EU's investment on defence.
Under a new cooperation agreement with the European Defence Agency, the EIB, which is owned by EU governments, will increase its total fund for loans supporting so-called dual use technology from €500 million to €2 billion per year. Dual-use items include a wide range of technology building blocks, including lasers, sensors, electronics and computers.
While EU governments called on the bank to finance more investments in defence research last year, EIB stops short of backing R&D directed specifically at weapons and military equipment.
The rules prevent the Luxembourg-based EIB from investing in fully-fledged military projects. The bank is mainly focused on financing infrastructure projects, investing nearly €80 billion in 2017 in a record 901 transactions.
Firms that develop surveillance or cyber technology for protecting critical infrastructure like energy grids, would qualify for EU loans under the new scheme, which the bank is calling a 'cooperative financial mechanism'.
The EIB would also support joint projects by member states, such as developing a new radar platform.
Officials at the Brussels-based EDA, which runs the EU's first-ever military research programme, will help assess the quality of potential deals.
Beginning with the new budget period in 2021, the European Commission wants to earmark a total of €1.5 billion from the EU budget and around €4 billion from member state budgets to support research and development for new weapons technology.

The decision regarding the fall high school sports season was thought to be delivered yesterday, but that final ruling was moved to today, Thursday September 10th, 2020.
• The Maine Principal's Association is expected to share their guidelines with schools at some point during the day Thursday.
• Wednesday multiple state agencies involved in this decision making process - The MPA, DHHS, Maine School Superintendents Association, Maine School Board Association, Department of Education, and the Governor's office – did reach a consensus on the guidelines surrounding a return to play plan.
• Last Month the MPA came out with their proposal, but that was rejected by the Department of Health and Human Services, with corrections and alterations to be made to allow practices and games to be held.
• It appears those changes were approved by those state agencies involved and now the plan just needs to be finalized to move forward with the start of the preseason workouts and sessions planned for this coming Monday the 14th.
• None of the details about those changes were made public, but the expectation based on the state's Community Sports Guidelines crafted by the Department of Economic and Community Development is for Golf, Cross Country, Field Hockey and Soccer to have their seasons, with some game, planning, and rules modifications.
• Football and Volleyball are still question marks for the fall, and some have suggested those sports will be moved to a modified season between the winter sports season and the spring sports season.
• And all of this will just be a guideline as all schools will make their own decisions with this as a base model to be determined by the school board, superintendent, principal, and athletic directors to make a final decision for each school

Q: Sticky Footer with Google Visualization I am trying to have a sticky footer in conjunction with a Google Visualization which will take up the remainder of the container.  Take a look at this page:
http://www.embeddedanalytics.com/responsivedesign2.html
So in this situation, I would like to have the orange sticky footer be on the bottom, and have the map take up whatever remains.  But it appears the Google Visualization takes up the entire space and "pushes out" the sticky footer.  If you comment the drawchart call, the sticky footer appears on the bottom as it should.
Code (also available on Fiddler)

      I'm the Sticky Footer.

A: try to add some attributes to your CSS styling (fiddle):
.page-wrap {
            min-height: 100%;
            /* equal to footer height */
            margin-bottom: -300px;
            position: fixed;
        }
.site-footer {
            background: orange;
            bottom: 0;
            position: fixed;
            width: 100%;
        }

DJ Samer Tells Us About the 15th Anniversary Of His Label Pangea
in Interviews, Underground Label Talk
January 7, 2020, 11:01 am 10 Votes
Pangea Recordings is dedicated to pushing forward the best in underground electronic dance music for over a decade.
The label has been at the forefront of melodic Dance Music with over 200 individual releases picking up DJ support from the likes of Sasha, John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Paul Oakenfold, Above & Beyond, Max Graham, Booka Shade, Guy J, Microtrauma, and many more.
We caught up with label boss Samer Salhab a.k.a. Dj Samer to find out about a special release celebrating 15 years of Pangea Recordings…
Hi Samer, what made you decide to start up your imprint, and is there a story behind its name?
Pangea was a concept I formed in 1996 when I was introduced to the music in Gainesville, Florida, at the legendary venue Simon's. To understand what the label stands for, I must tell you a bit about myself. Being of Palestinian ancestry, I have always longed for unity in my part of the world where division has become so commonplace. Being that Pangea literally stands for a united physical world, I decided to use it as a symbol and focus on using dance and electronic music to help bring about unity and foster relationships among people. Funny to say, a dancefloor can represent how the world should be: people of all shapes and colours finding strength in their need to dance their troubles away and just have a good time! To say I am proud of it would be an understatement as I know now that our music brings people together.
What does Pangea bring to the scene and how does it stand out from the crowd?
While it is true that we tend to focus on progressive house, I look for music that tends to withstand the test of time no matter what genre. Many of our tracks released through the years sound just as good now as when they were first heard by the public.
Further, I believe that each release has its own "half-life" that deserves respect in order for a release to fully develop, and therefore we do not tend to release tracks every week, two weeks, or even four weeks. We tend to give each release its space to develop as we believe that each release is special and deserves its own time to develop. Many labels are in a race to get a release out as soon as possible to give their listeners as much as possible to listen to. I do not want to be a part of that race. I can comfortably say that being from a different school of thought with respect to how music releases should be developed makes us stand apart from most other labels in our genre. It's a formula that works or we would not be here almost 20 years later releasing quality music.
Who would you class as your labels core artists?
We have developed some amazing core artists here at the label: Barry Jamieson, Luke Chable, Mick Wilson, Sapiens, Audioglider, Sean McClellan, Bobby Benninger and many more.
Are there any unexpected aspects do you find hard about running a label in today's industry?
It is not easy to stay relevant given all of the releases available every week on Beatport! But again, I think we have developed a formula to stay as relevant as we can in the coming years. You also have to keep a positive outlook on your music, it's easy to get mired down in negativity when you feel that you should be getting more attention than you currently are. The tendency to want to judge yourself is strong. Keeping a strong and positive outlook on things is a key ingredient to being able to survive the cutthroat world that the music industry. All of us in the scene can name someone who fell a victim of this type of thinking, and what it did to their music and/or label.
Could you list some of the highlights of 2019, and what you have planned for next year?
What a year it was for us. 2019 was the first year we were #1 on the Beatport Best of Progressive House Chart, and it was the first year we had back to back releases in the top 50 of the Beatport Progressive House Releases Chart consecutively. Also, 2019 was the first year Pangea consistently had premiers in key magazines and websites. I feel that the hard work has paid off: our music is regularly chosen as a weapon by some of the most iconic DJs in the scene and has gained notoriety as a record label that is much revered.
We have a big year lined up for 2020. Not only do we have releases lined up from some of our core artists, but we are also trying to expand back into events as we did at the start of the millennium.
How do you support the artists on your label, and what qualities do you look for when signing music?
I spoke a bit earlier about how we like to develop a release rather than just put out music constantly. One of the ways we develop a release is to work hand in hand with a publicist in order to get a release the exposure it deserves. I believe it is absolutely key to get tracks to the folks who are most likely to publish information about the release in music magazines and press websites, as they separate our releases from the others. Here is a good example: why pay Beatport Hype to place your release in a chart when you can hire a publicist to do the real job of getting your tracks into people's ears the right way and grow your label organically! The result: We have one release right now in the Beatport Top 100 in 4 various genres, which I am very proud of.

The settings.name field is current set to only allow 30 characters. This can cause problems with plugins since "plugin_" is appended to the plugin name by Settings and the plugin generator prefixs plugins with "redmine". That only leaves 16 characters for the plugin name. Since Redmine doesn't check that a plugin name is under 16 characters, I propose extending the field to 255.
Extend the settings.name column so it can fit longer plugin names.
Fixed in r2599. Should be released in 0.9 due to the database schema change.
I'm attaching the migration here for anyone on 0.8.x that is affected. Nothing special will need to be done when upgrading to 0.9.0, Redmine will skip this migration if it's already been applied.


Recently, I retook my DiSC Profile test. It's been over 12 years since my last one and my hopes weren't too high. In the past, profile tests like DiSC have made me curious but also seemed like too much work to apply in real life. I remember the last time I took the assessment, it was only briefly gone over by the trainer. Our group had a laugh at finding out "who we really were" but didn't go much deeper than that. My manager even hid his because he didn't want us to learn how different his behavioral styles were inside and outside of work. In reality, we laughed a bit too much when this test really could have improved our team's communication. Including and especially my manager's communication challenges!
This time the experience was not the same. To go through the profile was like stepping out of myself and looking back into how "Kevin" behaves. So much of it was dead on the mark it was scary. Granted it wasn't perfect, but having this kind of honest feedback was eye-opening. Feedback is something we crave as growing professionals but rarely get. Here is what happened from looking at my reflection in the DiSC reality mirror.
I changed. After many years of success in sales and digital marketing, starting my own successful digital media company, raising a child and dedicating myself to consistent martial arts – I had changed my behavioral style. While I had thought of myself one way – I had really transformed into another behavioral style. Thinking that I was communicating as a S (Supportive style), which tends to be calm and steady, when really I was more of a D (Dominate style), someone that can be more blunt and to the point. These are totally opposite and I can immediately think of several examples where I got myself into trouble.
I had to let go. Understanding how I thought about myself and how others perceive me was illuminating. Let's face it, our ego and self-identity is important but when in a sales situation it's all about the other person. By highlighting where I had some challenges in my communication style, I'm able to adapt and adjust.
It reminded me of a recent experience when my agency client called me to say the client we were doing work for didn't appreciate my tone in a meeting. In fact, the client was really mad and I was in jeopardy of losing an account. In the meeting, I told a truth about the shortcomings of the client's website and acquisition strategy. I thought I had been the supportive "S" in that meeting – helpful calm and providing good information. In fact, I was a high D, insisting they change their silly ways and stop wasting money. To make matter worse I didn't understand the behavioral styles of the clients – including know what would set them off. I was lucky enough to be able to apologize and my agency client forgave me.
Using the right key to open the right lock. This is the most powerful lesson I learned through DiSC training. We all have different personalities and views of the world. When looking at it through the eyes of DiSC, you are able to identify and understand someone else's perspective and communicate to them so they will best receive that information. Let's face it, the golden rule is dead. You don't need to treat others how you want to be treated but instead how THEY want to be treated.
Remember, there is no "right" profile. Instead what is right is the better we understand ourselves and understand each other, the better we communicate and have successful conversations, relationships, and clients. That's why we use a powerful tool called CrystalKnows. It allows us to identify and understand someone's DiSC type before we go to a meeting or send that email. With templates customized by personality, powerful insights to help plan your meetings and tools to clarify your communication, CrystalKnows takes our DiSC communication to a whole new level.

A brain damaged firefighter is inexplicably showing signs of spontaneous recovery.
In December 1995, the roof of a burning home collapsed on him. He went without oxygen for several minutes before he was rescued, and he ended up blind with little, if any, memory. He was largely mute and showed little awareness of his surroundings.
But last Saturday, he suddenly asked for his wife, Linda. And over the next 14 hours, until he fell asleep early Sunday morning, he chatted with her, his four sons and other family and friends, catching up on what he'd missed.
"How long have I been away?" Herbert had asked.
"We told him almost 10 years," said his uncle, Simon Manka. "He thought it was only three months."
It may have something to do with the fact that his spouse made sure he got all the tests and therapy he could possibly get. His family probably resolved their problems without using him as leverage. No scumbag attorney whispered any nihilistic garbage in his wife's ear about his "right to die." You know, all the things Terri Schiavo never benefited from.
When a major league baseball player who bashes New Yorkers ends up on a New York minor league team, I have to conclude that God has a sense of humor. John Rocker, who has learned nothing from his PR debacle when he bashed 7 Train commuters (such as my wife for many years) was at it again, this time getting into a rhubarb with a fan who got to him.
As Rocker left the field, Dave Macken of Atlantic City, a Surf fan sitting near the visitors dugout, yelled, "It's a long way from Atlanta."
Rocker replied, "I'm still a millionaire" and followed with profanity, Macken told The Press of Atlantic City. Macken said the two then exchanged profanities.
Imagine having to take the [Number] 7 train to the ballpark, looking like you're [riding through] Beirut next to some kid with purple hair next to some queer with AIDS right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids.
I thought the quote was locker room bulletin board material, but MLB went nuts and ordered him to see a shrink.
