Beto O'Rourke's 1998 DWI arrest featured in Republican super PAC TV ad
Arthur Davis, 2 months ago 3 min read 431
A Republican excellent PAC has commenced airing a TV ad invoking Beto O'Rourke's 1998 under the influence of alcohol-driving arrest, a giant escalation within the air battle against the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate with less than a week till Election Day.
In the commercial, the organization, ESAFund, seizes on a Washington Post reality check of the El Paso congressman's claim during a September debate that he "did no longer attempt to leave the scene of the accident." The Post gave O'Rourke "Four Pinnochios" for the statement, pointing to a police file from the time that cited a witness announcing he attempted to flee.
"What's worse — using under the influence of alcohol or lying approximately it?" a narrator asks in the 30-second spot, which begins with pictures of an unrelated automobile coincidence, then is going over the truth test and ends with O'Rourke's mugshot. "Beto O'Rourke put Texas lives at danger — and he would not deserve your vote."

With much less than every week to move, ESAFund goes on TV with @BetoORourke's 1998 DWI arrest: "Beto O'Rourke put Texas lives at danger, and he does not deserve your vote." Seen this night on KPRC in Houston:
eleven:31 AM – Nov 1, 2018
67 human beings are speaking about this
Twitter Ads information and privateness
The reality check become arguable because of the conflicting debts about whether or not he attempted to go away the scene, and O'Rourke later asserted that the "police record in this matter is incorrect."
The Texas Tribune thank you its sponsors. Become one.
"I reached out to the passenger who turned into in the vehicle that I changed into riding — who additionally does no longer seem in the police report, amongst different factual errors — anyone that I've not spoken to in extra than 15 years, and requested her recollection of that evening," O'Rourke stated during an interview at the Texas Tribune Festival in September. "She stated, 'No, we had been within the median of the street. We did now not try to flee. I don't understand that there has been everywhere we should have long gone.'"
According to reviews, O'Rourke became arrested on the scene and charged with using while intoxicated however went on to finish a court docket-approved diversion program, and the expenses have been dropped. He has due to the fact that spoken brazenly about the episode as an inexcusable mistake, even though the alleged try to flee has not surfaced until his modern-day campaign.
The ad is being subsidized by means of a six-parent buy within the Houston vicinity, according to the president of ESAFund, Brian Baker. Earlier Wednesday, the organization disclosed to the Federal Election Commission that it had unloaded $636,000 against O'Rourke, maximum of it on media placement.
O'Rourke's marketing campaign did now not straight away respond to a message in search of touch upon the advert.
ESAFund, formerly called the Ending Spending Action Fund, joined the Senate race early remaining month whilst it dropped over $1 million on a TV advert buy featuring a niche attacking O'Rourke as a "Democrat under the affect of Nancy Pelosi," the House minority chief. At the time, it turned into not absolutely clear who become investment the great PAC because of FEC deadlines; subsequent reviews display that it has acquired $3.Five million from three donors: Las Vegas casino multi-millionaire Sheldon Adelson and his wife, Miriam, as well as any other GOP megadonor, Marlene Ricketts.
ESAFund is one among 4 first-rate PACs that has racked up seven-parent investments within the Senate race, the biggest player being the seasoned-Cruz organization Texans Are. Three of the four superb PACs are on Cruz's facet, even as the opposite — Texas Forever, the most current entrant inside the race — is benefitting O'Rourke.

I have nothing but praise for French Montana for this, and all of this came about because he literally watched a YouTube video.
See, French had come across a clip of children in Uganda grooving far better than the average backup dancer, and was compelled to seek them out for his video "Unforgettable." Following his trip, he — with some help from The Weeknd, the MAMA HOPE Organization and the Global Citizen Organization — were able to build a health facility in the town where he discovered the children.
He shared the news via his Instagram page, which gives a brief tour of the in-the-works facility which be able to provide health care and services to the over 286,000 locals of the area once it is completed.
Like Rihanna, who helped build an oncology center in her native home of Barbados and established the Clara and Lionel Foundation Scholarship Program to assist students from Caribbean countries going to colleges in the States (and subsequently being named Harvard's Humanitarian Of The Year for her efforts), this is an amazing and admirable achievement from French, and he deserves nothing but respect for his own efforts.


E-bikes may be among the techiest of modern bicycles, but they tend to have big, pudgy designs that look more outdated than cutting edge. Large battery packs, bulging motors, and wires running to and fro have a way of making bikes look big, bulky and busy. Bicycle manufacturers and designers are starting to get hip to the idea that e-bikes should look as clean and high-tech as they ride, integrating electrical components in more seamless ways. The latest is a concept bike from Swiss design firm Concept Cycle.
The bicycle show season just swept through Europe and America, with events like ISPO Bike, Eurobike and Interbike. E-bikes had a strong presence as usual, and one of the themes was lower profile electrical hardware. The award-winning Coboc 3.0 and the e-forked Electrolyte series were two of the designs that addressed the theme in different ways.
The Concept Cycle ONEbike, created by Swiss designer and former racer Andy Muff, is a third. Like the Coboc, Muff's design integrates the battery pack into the down tube of the frame. He envisions the design working with a variety of motor systems – rear and front hubs and central motor systems are cited specifically.
While the ONEbike looks more visually striking overall, thanks to its curved top tube and offset rear triangle, its down tube integration looks a little larger and more clunky than Coboc's design. The thick down tube is a dead giveaway that the bike is indeed a big, heavy e-bike.
The ONEbike was showcased at Eurobike, but Concept Cycle's press release doesn't specify whether it has any production future. For now, it appears to be just a design study (i.e. concept cycle).
What do you think? Does integrating the battery pack into the bicycle frame make an e-bike look sleeker and more fashionable? Or is it really just replacing a big, awkward battery pack mounted to a standard frame with a big, awkward down tube?

Cloud is a hot topic these days. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and PDM/CAD solutions are no exceptions to that – many are now available on Cloud infrastructure and pay-as-you-go (PLM/PDM/CAD software-as-a-service). However, one should not fall into the hype that it will all be easy and straightforward once PLM is 'thrown' in the cloud.
PLM on-premise (hosted internally or in an external data centre with PLM managed by own IT) traditionally provides control over systems/data as enterprise data is stored/handled internally. It usually required significant up-front infrastructure investments with dedicated internal IT staff for maintenance and support.
The illusion of infinite computing resources available on demand, thereby eliminating the need to plan far ahead for capacity provisioning.
The elimination of an up-front commitment, thereby allowing companies to start small and increase hardware resources only when there is an increase in their needs.
The ability to pay for use of computing resources on a short-term basis as needed(e.g., processors by the hour and storage by the day) and release them as needed, thereby rewarding conservation by letting machines and storage go when they are no longer useful.
Cloud hosted solutions and SaaS models can be combined, but these are different things – hence mixing them or swapping one for another might just be confusing. Cloud computing refers to hosting the physical architecture, while SaaS refer to how it is used.
Whether on-premise or in the Cloud, PLM cannot just be used 'as is' out-of-the-box… In other words, it requires process alignment / configuration / customization / integration / etc.
Many cloud-based CAD solutions appear like great examples of reinvented PDM / CAD vault repositories – actually moving away from most holistic PLM value proposition(single 'source of truth' – aligned with the 'create once, use many times' principle, and enterprise integration with clear master data management strategies).
Independently as to how it is hosted or managed, PLM needs to be flexible, configurable, integrated with the rest of the enterprise to return the full value / business benefits.
Nevertheless, Cloud is an obvious option for Product Development IT / PLM Engineering IT to mitigate risk and offset responsibility of the infrastructure and technical maintenance to a third party. Cloud provides opportunities to pay-for-what-you-use models – i.e. capacity adaptability and computing scalability.
Cloud-based PLM solutions require a learning curve for both 1) user teams in terms of adapting different type of data access and control, and PD IT support teams in terms of managing Service Level Agreement (SLA) engagement rather and giving away some of their 'historical' technical and administrative control.
Capacity and scalability requirements and how these are to be managed.
Data and IP management, access and security, but also integration with other legacy and ERP systems – covering end-to-end processes (not just isolated elements).
Potential speed of benefit realization for some areas of the business vs others – what to deploy on-premise vs in the Cloud and how they will integrate / interface.
Reliance on hosting party or vendor – and approach for multiple vendor solution integration and transferability (ability to migrate from one Cloud to another – to avoid to be locked in with a specific vendor or hosting party).
First deploying / piloting PLM on-premise to define and validate how it will be used, what configuration / customization / integration is required, what can be deployed gradually in the Cloud, what will be the implications and learning curve for the different user communities.
Surely, the whole product development and manufacturing IT enterprise will not move to the Cloud or even a single Cloud… there will always be a hybrid Cloud and on-premise landscape combination that the PLM roadmap will need to consider. Process adaptability, integration and master data management will remain the most prominent challenges of PLM. Cloud is not a silver bullet to take them away. There is no simple 'one size fits all' PLM in the Cloud solution that can be used without configuration / customization / integration with the rest of the enterprise.

According to the Organic Trade Association , "there is mounting evidence that if all the indirect costs of conventional food production—cleanup of polluted water, replacement of eroded soils, costs of health care for farmers and their workers—were factored into the price of food, organic foods would cost the same or, more likely, be cheaper." We are just learning about what the harmful effects pesticides have on our bodies. It is too soon to tell what health care costs will be associated with all of the chemical exposure. Buying organic is certainly worth it.
"EatingWell" Magazine has recently become one of my favorite sources for good, healthy information. There is so much to read on this site, and all of it is helpful in efforts to live a clean, healthy life. Check out their newsletters, recipes, articles, and more. I follow them on Facebook as well.
Find out what everyday items are the worst for your health in terms of chemicals and toxins and what you can do about it.
Nobody knows just how much of a risk toxins in our food really pose. Most of the associations between chemical exposures and disease are just that—associations. But we're exposed to dozens, if not hundreds, of chemicals, and the effects of some multiple exposures may be more than the sum of their parts, say experts. Or, in some cases, they might cancel each other out.
What's more, toxins get into our bodies through more than just food. We are exposed to them through our carpets, lawn chemicals—even our clothing. Check out these 7 toxins you can avoid in your diet and get simple solutions for minimizing these chemicals and toxins in your diet and life.

Google News is one of the ways that I search for the latest organic products information. Today I found a press release about this terrific interview. Here is the first paragraph and a link to the original article. The Newman products and their company philosophy have such a benefit to all of us. So glad she's on this path!
Nell Newman, founder of Newman's Own Organics, grew up tomboy-style in the Connecticut woods, fishing and hiking and exploring the natural world. Soon after graduating from college, where she earned a degree in human ecology, she worked to re-establish the bald eagle in Central California. Now in her late 40s, Newman is an avid Santa Cruz surfer and angler who occasionally reels in her own salmon for dinner. As photogenic as her famous parents, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, and as business-savvy as most Harvard MBAs, Nell Newman has been a major force in the organic food business. She welcomed us into her Aptos office to talk about her career.
Found this today in the Green Bay Press Gazette.
Today's shoppers can choose from an increasing array of foods labeled organic. But while organic foods continue to grow in popularity, they often seem to come with a higher price tag.
Organic food production is strictly regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Farmers cannot use synthetic pesticides, growth hormones, antibiotics, genetic engineering, chemical fertilizers or waste products in the growing process. And organic foods must come from farms that have been certified organic by the USDA. All these requirements can boost the cost of producing foods with the organic label. Read complete article here.
Frugal is a term that invokes a lot of feelings for people. Buying organic foods is not a concept most people think can coexist with a frugal lifestyle.
But the truth is that with smart shopping and careful planning, organic foods can fit in a modest household budget.
The Environmental Working Group has published a list of what it calls the Dirty Dozen. These 12 foods have the highest concentrations of pesticides that remain in or on produce, based on data from USDA and EPA testing. If you have a limited budget, you should consider buying these products organic whenever possible. The Dirty Dozen consists of apples, celery, strawberries, peaches, spinach, imported nectarines, imported grapes, sweet bell peppers, potatoes, domestic blueberries, lettuce and kale and other types of collard greens.
The group also has published a list called the Clean Fifteen, a list of the 15 least pesticide-absorbent produce on the market. Buying these products organic does not have to be a priority because the differences between regular and organic are minimal. The Clean Fifteen are onions, sweet corn, pineapples, avocado, asparagus, sweet peas, mangoes, eggplant, domestic cantaloupe, kiwi, cabbage, watermelon, sweet potatoes, grapefruit and mushrooms. To print this list in a wallet-size reminder, go to www.ewg.org.

There has been an increase in the amount of organic skin care products being purchased by consumers as they are realizing that what you put on your skin matters. Natural skin care products are healthier for the skin and safer for the environment.
What's more, people are also aware of the harmful ingredients in traditional skincare product lines. In fact there was a study performed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City and they discovered industrial compounds, and alarming results. This study found 91 pollutants and other chemicals in the blood and urine of participants, many of which were traced back to non-organic beauty products.
Experts also discovered that 60 percent of ingredients within natural skin care products are absorbed through the skin and into a person's bloodstream.
Worse yet, when these harmful ingredients are used even for a few years, they can lead to a buildup in your organs of unwanted chemicals and sometimes, unexplained illness.
You can protect yourself before this happens. All you have to do is start using organic skin careproducts. The benefits include the fact that they rejuvenate the skin and also provide essential nutrients, keeps the skin feeling soft and smooth, givesthe appearance of youthful skin, and helps prevent acne. It is safer to use over an extended period of time because it doesn't contain toxic chemicals.
Organic skin care products are also more affordable. Like many people, you're probably wondering how in the world organic skin care products can be less expensive than traditional products. With traditional products, a person will more likely use more of a particular product and need to buy it more often.
For example, Geranium Cream Moisturizer for dry-damage skin may cost more than the average cream moisturizers you find at traditional stores for $8.99. That's because it contains a variety of natural ingredients. It also lasts a lot longer than a jar of non-organic moisturizer. Non-organic skin care products contain a high percentage of water as a base ingredient. So, you're basically purchasing a highly diluted product. It's like buying expensive water. A person who uses non-organic cream moisturizers may go through two to three jars before they notice results which are usually only temporary. You're actually saving more money when you buy organic skin care products because you consume less of the product, the results are visible earlier and they last because your skin is becoming healthier. Another disadvantage of non-organic products is that many use fillers and artificial thickeners to make products appear creamy and smooth. Also, beware of products that claim to be 'natural'. These cheap imitations usually contain harmful ingredients. Make sure you read the ingredients of skincare products before you buy. Advantages of using organic skin care products are made from skin beneficial ingredients derived from the earth and not from chemicals or man-made ingredients.
Another advantage of using organic products is that they rejuvenate the skin and stimulate cell growth. A non-organic product does the exact opposite. When you incorporate a healthy diet with natural, organic skin care products it will help you live a healthier lifestyle.

That said, this impasse was inevitable. Twenty years ago, the late New York Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan advised Bill and Hillary Clinton not to proceed with health care reform. His warning: "Anything important passes the Senate 70-30 or it does not pass at all." Obamacare fell 10 votes shy of Moynihan's standard and nowhere near political closure – not after the controversial 5-4 Supreme Court decision, Obama's cherry-picking of which sections to delay until after the next election, tea partiers spoiling for a fight, House Speaker John Boehner's fondness for 11th-hour brinkmanship, and Democratic strategists who see the impasse as their ticket to regaining the House in 2014.
Here's one more reason why Washington isn't working: it's divided along partisan extremes, just like Sacramento.
Obama was re-elected by a 5-million-vote cushion, but voters handcuffed him by opting not to split tickets. Of today's 234 House Republicans, all of 17 come from congressional districts that voted for Obama in 2012 (Bill Clinton carried 79 such districts in 1996). Only seven Democrats come from districts that voted for Mitt Romney in 2012.
This creates three problems: Members of both parties worry more about primaries than general elections; the president has few "split" districts where he can attempt to pressure a member to cross party lines; the president is afforded no respect (not a single Republican voted for Bill Clinton's economic plan in 1993; in 1981, 48 House Democratic crossed the aisle and voted for President Ronald Reagan's tax cuts).
The comparison to California isn't exact, as the House of Representatives has undergone three political convulsions in the past 20 years, compared to a brief Republican takeover of the state Assembly in the mid-1990s. Unlike Washington, California gets its fiscal business done on time – but only because the numbers and the rules give one party the run of the place.
But the polarization is just as bad three time zones to the West as it is in Washington. Sure, there's bipartisanship in Sacramento when it comes to protecting leatherback sea turtles from extinction, or Jennifer Garner and Halle Berry from paparazzi. Otherwise, the sight of lawmakers working in harmony under the state Capitol dome is about as common as sweater weather in July.
The question, then, is whether California Republicans can improve their current plight (no statewide offices, super-minorities in both legislative chambers) by adopting the same obstructionist attitude in the nation's capital.
The government shutdown is about the 2014 congressional elections and the opening phase of the 2016 presidential race, where Republican hopefuls already are jockeying for position.
Californian Republicans aren't playing for 2014 or 2016 – not when the party lacks viable candidates and is playing catch-up on fundraising and nuts-and-bolts organization. A more realistic goal would be to gain competitive footing by, say, 2018 – while adapting the party to an evolving California political landscape.
Which leads to a problem in the making for the state GOP, thanks to its cousin at the national level: The federal government shutdown is killing whatever slim chances were left for immigration reform in 2013 – further poisoning the well with California's Latino voters.
This won't resonate with much of the House majority – only 38 of the House's 234 Republicans hail from districts where Latinos account for 20 percent or more of the population. But California's a different animal. Latinos represent one-third of the state's adult population and only 16 percent of Californians likely to vote, but both numbers are rising – and working against Republicans as registered Democratic Latino voters outnumber Republicans by nearly a 4-1 margin.
Republicans here could choose not to worry – of the 15 congressional districts the GOP won in California in 2012, only one was by less than 9.6 percentage points. But that's 15 House seats versus 38 for Democrats. After the 2000 election, California's House delegation was 27 Democrats, 25 Republicans.
The difference could be no more stark: a week ago, Gov. Jerry Brown traveled to Fresno to highlight the new law granting driver permits to illegal immigrants. Just before that, Rep. Devin Nunes, a Visalia Republican representing the nation's seventh most Latino district (46 percent), characterized his colleagues as "moronic" and "lemmings with suicide vests" for bringing on the government shutdown.
California's most prominent Democrat is doing an end-zone dance. A Republican who'd like to climb that high thinks his teammates have been in too many scrimmages without a helmet.
You decide who's ahead on the scoreboard.

FlyArystan Launches Eight New Routes from Karaganda
Kazakhstan low-cost airline FlyArystan announced the start of sales for eight new routes from its new aircraft base in Karaganda.
Starting on April 20, the sixth FlyArystan aircraft will join the fleet of the fast-growing Kazakh low-cost carrier and will become the first one based at the Sary-Arka International Airport, Karaganda.
The new routes to be served from Karaganda are to Atyrau, Aktau, Kostanay, Kyzylorda, Aktobe, Shymkent, Semey and Moscow (Zhukovsky). They will join the existing Karaganda service to Almaty that was started in May 2019 with the launch of FlyArystan.
At a press briefing in Karaganda today Tim Jordan, Managing Director of FlyArystan said:
"The Karaganda region is one of the largest industrial regions of the country, with a modern infrastructure, convenient geographical location and a promising future, the development of which is impossible without air transport. And we, the Air Astana group of companies, in particular, FlyArystan are ready to contribute to that continued growth by establishing our first regional aircraft base at Sary-Arka International Airport, Karaganda."
Janar Jailauova, sales and marketing director, said:
"The opening of a base in Karaganda is an important event not only for residents of the entire region but also for the Kazakhstan aviation industry as a whole since the new FlyArystan base in Karaganda is not only the first regional base of a low-cost airline but also demonstrates the growth that can be achieved by other large regional airports across the country. We are very pleased that now from the very heart of Kazakhstan it is possible to fly directly to 8 other domestic cities right across the country, & Moscow (Zhukovsky), with our low fares. That is great for Karaganda, the region and people all across the country."
FlyArystan began its operations with two aircraft on May 1, 2019, which were based in Almaty. In the fourth quarter of 2019, two additional aircraft were added to the aircraft fleet and were based in Nur-Sultan. The initial Almaty base will add its third aircraft in March 2020 and with the expansion of the fleet to 6 aircraft in the spring of 2020, the low-cost airline is opening its first regional base in Karaganda. It expects to open additional aircraft bases across the country as its fleet continues to grow.
In less than 10 months of operations, FlyArystan has sold approximately 1,200,000 seats and carried more than 950,000 passengers with a customer load factor of 93%. The on-time performance of the new low-cost carrier has averaged more than 88% since its startup in May 2019. As a consequence of the launch and growth of FlyArystan the Kazakh domestic aviation market is now one of the fastest-growing in the world.

Q: javascript timezone format I need to format a javascript Date to send via json to the server.  The server expects the time to be in the format according to this example
2011-08-31T06:49:28.931 -0700
which it conveniently tells me when I try to submit something like
2011-08-31T06:49:28.931 -07:00
The trouble I am having is with the timezone part, -0700.  I've been looking at the Date API, and don't see a way to specify the timezone format.  I can do d.getTimezoneOffset, but it returns 240 (Im in EDT I think) for me.
So, I can convert 240 to 0400 to represent 4 hours.  I am worried however about correctness for other timezones.  My questions are
1)  How to convert the result of the getTimezoneOffset() into the required format, and how to determine what the sign should be (thats the part I am worried about)?
2)  Is there a way to get the format off the date object itself so I don't have to do anything custom?  If i do d.toString() I get "Wed Aug 31 2011 09:48:27 GMT-0400 (EDT)", so here the timezone part is in the format I want.  So it might be possible.   Maybe the best solution is to just use a regex to grab the timezone off d.toString()...
3)  Extra credit: is the format the server requires some sort of standard?
Update: using match(/^.*GMT(-?\d*)/) returns "-0400" at index 1 of the array.  Perhaps I should just use that?  Im wondering if that regex will work for all timezones in the context of the sign.

A: Try this code:
var d=new Date(Date.now()); // sets your date to variable d

function repeat(str,count) { // EXTENSION
  return new Array(count+1).join(str);
};

function padLeft(str,length,char) { // EXTENSION
  return length<=str.length ? str.substr(0,length) : repeat(String(char||" ").substr(0,1),length-str.length)+str;
};

var str=padLeft(String(d.getFullYear()),4,"0")+"-"+
        padLeft(String(d.getMonth()),2,"0")+"-"+
        padLeft(String(d.getDate()),2,"0")+"T"+
        padLeft(String(d.getHours()),2,"0")+":"+
        padLeft(String(d.getMinutes()),2,"0")+":"+
        padLeft(String(d.getSeconds()),2,"0")+"."+
        d.getMilliseconds();

A: You might want to use one of the date/time formatting libraries that bakes in support for this timezone format (such as http://jacwright.com/projects/javascript/date_format/). In any case, you're right: there really is no good way to control the format output.
As far as the regex goes I don't know that all browsers consistently use the GMT string format, so that may not be the best path forward.

Could Ether Ever Outpace Bitcoin?
Hans Noren October 3, 2018 11:46 am October 3, 2018
Bitcoin versus Ethereum: the two market leaders couldn't be more different. Bitcoin retains the highest market capitalization among cryptocurrencies, and in the latest bear market, has increased its lead against Ether, the Ethereum protocol's cryptocurrency, as the main contender. Now accepted as a "status quo" — this is how most people see it. But how are these coins competing for investor dollars? Let's have a look:
Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency and still got the first-mover advantage in this market. It is clearly the most well-known and highest valued coin. As of now its transaction speed is slower than Ethereum — but that could change if the so-called "Lightning Network" becomes a success. Today, Bitcoin has the image of a "real" currency more than any other cryptocurrency. Add to that a lightning-fast transaction speed and Bitcoin would actually become the "money" that Bitcoin extremists already claim that it is. Maybe they're on to something?
Something that would challenge Ether even more is a successful implementation of the RSK project, bitcoin's smart-contracts platform. RSK, which allows dApps — the various applications that sit atop blockchain protocols — to run, would enable Bitcoin to compete head to head with Ethereum on smart contracts. Way ahead on the adoption curve, a widescale deployment of RSK could potentially render Ether redundant. It could be the final nail in the coffin for Ether.
If you look at the blockchain industry strictly from a technology standpoint, Ethereum has the upper hand. While Bitcoin has to rely on a successful implementation of the RSK project, Ethereum already has the smart contract technology in place.
Ethereum is faster than Bitcoin but speed levels needs to improve significantly to become competitive to "real world" financial transaction speeds. Ethereum has its own scaling solution with Raiden Network, an an off-chain scaling solution that hopes to enable near-instant, low-fee, and scalable payment on the Ethereum blockchain. Will it succeed relative to the Lighting Network? Only time will tell.
Because Ether's cryptocurrency is more closely held by Consensys, the Ethereum Foundation and a number of blockchain companies that raised funds through an initial coin offering, much of its development so far has been streamlined, targeted, and strategic. Alliances with the corporate world will make it possible for Ethereum to gain faster technological acceptance in the market place. Here the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) has an important role to play. In its own words: "the industry's first global standards organization to deliver an open, standards-based architecture and specification to accelerate the adoption of Enterprise Ethereum." Among the members in this alliance we find Microsoft, JP Morgan Chase & Co and British Petroleum — an ironic list, given the public comments from these companies' heads about cryptocurrencies, including Ether.
One more thing to think about: Most of the Ethereum based Altcoins appear to be in the words of Bitcoin extremist, Jeff Wernick: "$hitcoins" that will "disappear very soon; probably within a year." Because of the direct relationship between those companies and Ether, we anticipate damage to Ether's reputation in the short-run.
But there will also be a few winners among these tokens. The question is how big the winners will become? The birth of a company like Amazon on an Ethereum-based token would — needless to say — be very important.
Today Ethereum looks like an underdog temporary leading on technical points. The two market leaders both have their strengths and weaknesses. Both of them will probably be around for a long time.
If you push me to predict the "winner" I would say it's 60/40 to Bitcoin's advantage. Because technology is always moving forward and an implementation of the Lighting Network appears around the corner, Bitcoin holds the competitive edge. The coin could then reap the full rewards of its first mover advantage.
First-mover advantage isn't dispositive, however. If the roll out of the Lighting Network takes too long Ethereum might capitalize on its strategic alliances and eventually overtake Bitcoin as the dominant cryptocurrency.

For the stars of The Best of Me, James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan, having Luke Bracey and Liana Liberato play their younger selves was a blessing, and for Marsden a bit of a curse!
"It was great to see Luke go in there and sweep her off her feet. He set the bar a little high for me," Marsden said in our exclusive video interview, as he and Monaghan laughed. "In the gym, too!"
Bracey and Liberato play Dawson and Amanda as young sweethearts who are basking in the glow of first love.

James Marsden Buys Mid Century Hollywood Home For $1.8 M
Crayen news Comments Off on James Marsden Buys Mid Century Hollywood Home For $1.8 M
Actor James Marsden just dropped $1,834,075 on a Mid Century home in an exclusive neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills!
Built in 1959, the post-and-beam-style home is the quintessential Hollywood Hills home designed for indoor/outdoor living with timeless design.
Inside, Marsden's new digs has wide spans of open living space and walls of glass that merge the indoors and out. When he needs privacy, James can retreat to a large master suite with a massive walk-in closet. Just down the hall, there's two more large bedrooms. The fourth bedroom is a great versatile space, and would make either a great office or and additional guest suite.
James Marsden: It Was an "Honor" to Take on Paul Walker's Role in The Best of Me
Crayen interview ,news Comments Off on James Marsden: It Was an "Honor" to Take on Paul Walker's Role in The Best of Me
James Marsden was honored to take over the late Paul Walker's role in The Best of Me, the handsome actor told Us Weekly in an interview on Monday, Oct. 6.
"All I can say about that is he is just one of those tremendous actors that was even that much more special of a human being," Marsden told Us when asked about Walker. "There was a wonderful energy about him and he was a terrific actor. You always want to be good stepping into a role like this but [it] felt a little bit more of an honor to play this role because of him," the X-Men actor shared.
Walker, who died in a car accident in November 2013, was originally cast to play Dawson in Nicholas Sparks' upcoming romance flick. A month after Walker's tragic death, the role was offered to Marsden.

We knew he was from Oklahoma, but we had no idea James Marsden could sing country like this.
When the actor and his Best of Me co-stars stopped by On Air With Ryan Seacrest on Wednesday (Oct. 8), they were joined by Lady Antebellum, who have a song on the soundtrack for the Nicholas Sparks adaptation. When Seacrest suggested that Marsden join Lady A for a song, he was initially reluctant — but once the first lines of Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places" came out of his mouth, it was clear he was up for the challenge.
"Now I'm just pissed, because he's better than me," Lady Antebellum singer/guitarist Charles Kelley joked.

James Marsden On Who Could Replace Him As Cyclops
Crayen interview ,video Comments Off on James Marsden On Who Could Replace Him As Cyclops
James Marsden, the actor who played mutant hero Cyclops in the original 'X-Men' trilogy, has backed his 'The Best of Me' co-star Luke Bracey to replace him in 'X-Men: Apocalypse'.
'X-Men: Apocalypse' writer Simon Kinberg exclusively revealed to Yahoo Movies last week that Cyclops, Storm, and Jean Grey would probably have to be recast for the next X-Men film, due to its 1980s setting, and Marsden thinks Bracey – who plays a younger version of himself in 'The Best of Me' – could be just the man to fill his distinctive visor.
"Yeah, that'd be great [if Luke Bracey took over as Cyclops]," he explains in our exclusive video below, "Then he could just eventually take over being me. Then I would never get another role as long as I live!"

OKC prepares for crosstown disaster
Thursday, March 6th 2008, 7:26 pm
By Jennifer Pierce, NEWS 9
City and state leaders are preparing for disaster. They're working on an emergency response that involves three major bridges in the metro, including the dilapidated Crosstown Expressway.
The Interstate 40 Crosstown Expressway was rated as one of the most unsafe bridges in the nation and has captured the attention of local emergency officials.
The Oklahoma City Emergency Management Office, local first-responders and state officials are all working together on the emergency plan in case a bridge in Oklahoma City collapses.
"The plan is designed to coordinate their activities," said Sgt. Frank Barnes of Oklahoma City Emergency Management.
Brenda Perry of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation said her organization would play a key role in preparing for a disaster.
"ODOT's role particularly immediately would be the flow of traffic, making sure the drivers are safe in the detour route," Perry said.
Perry said the Crosstown Expressway was built in 1965 and requires a lot of maintenance.
And it's not just the Crosstown Expressway that's involved in the disaster plans.
"They're looking at the I-40 Crosstown and the I-235 and at the Belle Isle Bridge," Perry said.
Incidentally, the Crosstown Expressway had a federal highway sufficiency rating which was one point lower than the Minnesota Bridge that collapsed.
Construction is underway on the new I-40 Crosstown Expressway. The $500 million project is expected to be complete in 2012.
News 9 City leaders are working on an emergency response that involves three major bridges in the metro including the dilapidated Crosstown Expressway.

Using the same call but for another user is showing up on facebook feed without problems. Is there any more action I can take or should I simply take my "false" and give up.

A: It's probably a privacy/permission settings issue. If the user who's Wall you are posting too has it set so only Friends can view their Wall, you will not be able to view the post (via the Graph or otherwise) - even though your App made the post.

A: You can also get 'false' if, although the post is visible on Facebook.com with no problems, the user who posted it has opted out of Facebook Platform. This is a privacy setting which disables any apps from accessing any information about a user, their posts, etc.
Even if their posts are 'Public' on facebook.com, the API won't return anything about such users.

What we've learned about Penn State playing in Ireland ...
Frank Bodani
YorkDailyRecord
Finally, Penn State officially has its "bowl game" for the 2014 season.
We figured for months now that the Nittany Lions would open the 2014 season in Ireland in light of NCAA sanctions that prohibited them from going to a bowl game at the end of the season.
Then it became clear that the opponent would be Central Florida and head coach George O'Leary -- a mentor and good friend of Penn State coach Bill O'Brien.
And this past week we learned that the deal had been finalized.
But it wasn't announced officially until Sunday, and there were a few new details to learn:
First, we now know that the game on Aug. 30 in Dublin will be called the Croke Park Classic because it's being played in historic Croke Park, the headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association.
We also know that Croke is pronounced "Crow" (thanks to Penn State sports information) and that the 83,000-seat stadium is being scaled back to hold only 69,000 for the game -- the first international contest ever for either Penn State or UCF.
The game will begin at 1:30 p.m. in Dublin (8:30 a.m. on the East Coast) and will be televised by ESPN2.
Also unveiled was that the Penn State game originally scheduled for Aug. 30, against Temple, has been moved to an open date on Nov. 15, 2014. The Lions will return from Ireland to play Akron at Beaver Stadium on Sept. 6 before opening the Big Ten season at Rutgers the following Saturday.
The Penn State Alumni Association and the Nittany Lion Club will offer travel packages for fans planning to attend the game in Dublin.
It is uncertain why the game will be played at 100-year-old Croke Park (renovated a decade ago) rather than the new Aviva Stadium that featured the Notre Dame and Navy game this past season. Aviva does hold only about 50,000 fans, so we're guessing Penn State and Central Florida officials believe they could draw far more fans overseas.
Notre Dame and Navy combined to bring an estimated 35,000 fans to Ireland.
There's also this note: The Penn State and UCF matchup will feature the first Big Ten team to play internationally since Michigan State and Navy met in Tokyo in 1993.
Of course, here is something we already were quite aware of: "Coach O'Brien and I are both of Irish heritage, so it means a great deal to both of us to be in a position to bring our teams here," O'Leary said.

Authorities say new measures in Beijing are toughest ever.
In September, Beijing unveiled a package of measures to cut air pollution over the next five years. That includes the dangerous PM 2.5 particles.
Autumn should be the best season in Beijing, but the city is shrouded in smog. So where is the pollution coming from?
The Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs, a non governmental organisation, has been assisting the government to identify and locate pollutant sources.
"The sources of pollution aren't just in Beijing. They're also in surrounding regions. A considerable part of pollution comes from neighbouring cities. Take the state-controlled pollution sources for example. Beijing has 10, Tianjin has 31 and Hebei has 288," said Ma Jun, Director of Instiyute of Public & Environmental Affairs.
The institute has drawn a map of China's air pollution, locating more than 4,000 heavily polluting enterprises, accounting for 60 percent of total emissions.
Ma Jun says the institute is letting the public know who caused the pollution and where are they. With that knowledge, the public can help supervise these enterprises and urge them to reduce emissions.
Ma Jun's idea has been backed by the Beijing and Hebei governments. From January next year, emission sources will be reported to the public every hour.
This winter heating system in Beijing's Haidian district is replacing a coal-fired boiler with a new gas boiler. That will greatly reduce emissions of dust and sulfur dioxide.
Under the clean air plan, over the next five years, combined heat and power plants will gradually replace decentralized coal-fired boilers in chemical engineering, papermaking, dyeing and tanning industry clusters.
"Compared to previous air pollution control measures, we can say the Beijing Clean Air Plan is the toughest," said Yu Jianhua, Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau.
The plan aims to cut the density of inhalable particulate matter by at least 10 percent in major cities nationwide by 2017. PM 2.5 particles are supposed to fall by about 25 percent from 2012 levels in Beijing and surrounding provincial areas by 2017.

I finally took the time to can/pickle my beet harvest. I was so ridiculously excited to watch all nine half-pint jars pop after they were taken out of the water bath. And I was tickled that none of my harvest went to waste. The recipe I used intrigued me because instead of sugar, honey was called for. The pickling brine contains: apple cider vinegar 5% acidity, honey, cinnamon sticks, whole allspice, whole black peppercorns, some water, and a little bit of salt. It took about three hours from start to finish and was a total blast. I can't wait to make jam from those three pounds of fresh strawberries I harvested and froze a short while back.

The beets added to the hot pickling brine.

Airbnb asked to drop Olympic ties over China rights issues

Airbnb Inc. is being asked to drop its sponsorship connections to 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics by a coalition of 150 human-rights campaigners.

Airbnb Inc. is being asked to drop its sponsorship connections to next year's Beijing's Winter Olympics by a coalition of 150 human-rights campaigners.
The coalition is headed by groups that oppose rights violations in China including the detention of Muslim Uyghurs in the Xinjiang region.
Airbnb is one of the International Olympic Committee's leading 15 sponsors. Included in the group are companies like Coca-Cola, Samsung, Visa, Toyota, Alibaba, Panasonic, Intel, and Procter and Gamble.
Airbnb, the home-sharing business, is being targeted because of repeated claims about the "social responsibility" it practices in its business model.
Associated Press received the open letter sent on Tuesday to Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky. The letter argues that Airbnb is trying to drive tourism in China at the expense of Uyghurs and Tibetans who cannot travel freely in the country.
"Airbnb is also glossing over China's horrifying human rights record and normalizing to the public what is recognized under international law as a deeply restrictive environment," the letter said. "Airbnb should not be encouraging a wider tourist industry to be supported and allowed to flourish at the expense of Uyghur and Tibetan rights."
The top 15 sponsors paid the IOC about $1 billion in cash or services in the last complete, four-year Olympic cycle, to be associated with the games. Airbnb signed up in November of 2019.
Rights groups are trying to pressure IOC sponsors and are pushing for a diplomatic boycott of the games — or even a hard boycott — to call attention to alleged abuses against Uyghurs, Tibetans, and residents of Hong Kong.
The Beijing Winter Olympics open on Feb. 4, 2022.
China says "political motives" underlie the boycott effort. The Chinese describe the detention camps in Xinjiang as vocational centers.
"China firmly rejects the politicization of sports and opposes using human rights issues to interfere in other countries' internal affairs," foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said earlier this month. He said an effort at a boycott "is doomed to failure."
Rights groups have met with the IOC and have been told the Olympic body must stay politically "neutral." They have been told by the IOC that China has given "assurances" about human rights conditions.
Activists say the IOC has declined to make the documents public, which makes it impossible to know what has been promised and if China is living up to its pledge.
Mikaela Shiffrin, a two-time Olympic gold-medal skier, spelled out the dilemma for athletes in a recent interview on CNN.
"You certainly don't want to be put in the position of having to choose between human rights like morality versus being able to do your job, which on the other hand can bring light to some issues or can actually bring hope to the world at a very difficult time," she said.

Coral Stone is a natural stone that contains numerous marine fossils, minerals and other organisms that are estimated to be over 65 million years old. It owns the following features: temperature resistant: stays cool when exposed to sun; a no-skid surface; a non-slip material and so on. Its applications include flooring, walls, pavers, columns, around pools, Jacuzzis and also to make table tops and other decorative accessories.
The Spaniards who reached the New World around end of the XV century or towards the beginning of the XVI century, guided by Christopher Columbus, used for the buildings of their new settlements and the main social buildings, a limestone which, even today, can be found in abundance in the Dominican Republic and Colombia, denominated the Coral Stone.
This stone was formed in the riverbeds in the period Pleistocene, starting from the fossils, corals and other marine animals, thus the majority of the coral limestone has originated in the reefs.
In the coastal area of south of the Dominican Republic is where this stone is found the most, though there are also important deposits in the northern part, as also in the province of Samaná, Gaspar Hernández, and Cordillera Septentrional. There are currently six quarries being exploited and there around 10 companies which work with stone in the Dominican Republic.

Belgian artist Hans Op de Beeck creates contemplative installations that blur the line between reality and make-believe. With children as his muse, Op de Beeck explores the imagination and innocence of his subjects. This thought-provoking theme is particularly perceptible in My bed a raft, the room the sea and then I laughed some gloom in me.
This life-sized, monochrome sculpture depicts a young girl deep in slumber. While her realistic bed and nightstand suggest she's sleeping soundly in her room, floating lily pads, towering reeds, and fluttering creatures surround her. This surreal scene offers viewers a glimpse into her subconscious as she drifts to sleep and dreams that her bed is a raft—a concept inspired by Op de Beeck's own childhood memories.
This striking monochrome sculpture by Hans Op de Beeck invites viewers to drift away into a sleeping girl's dream.

Nothing heralds the coming of spring like perennial flowers. Their reliable return each season is one of the reasons gardeners love to plant bulbs; put in the ground in the fall, they will reward you with beautiful blooms during the earliest growing months. Every year, the dormant bulbs awake to send green shoots through the cold ground—even snow! Although a late frost can harm them, these early bloomers are generally of hardy stock and can grow in colder zones. If you don't already grow bulbs in your garden, a stroll through this gallery of lovely flowers might just be enough to make even the gardening-averse consider taking up a trowel.
If you have snowdrops in your yard, chances are they've already made their appearance. True to their name, these white flowers don't mind growing up through snow-covered ground in February or March. Don't cut them back at the end of the season; you can weaken the bulb.
You know it's spring when you see a crocus! This low-growing flower announces the coming of spring each year with its colorful hues. Early bloomers like the crocus can get burned by a late frost, so be prepared to cover the plants with plastic should harsh weather return.
Looking for a low-maintenance bulb to plant? You might like this tiny, deer-resistant early bloomer. It naturalizes easily, and even grows well under trees or in rock gardens. You'll know that it's safe to trim old foliage when a gentle tug is all it takes to remove it.
What's cheerier than a spring daffodil? Despite their dainty appearance, daffodils are quite hardy—a single bulb can produce flowers for decades, and mice and voles generally don't disturb them. These spring blooms last longer in a vase if you pick them at the base of the stem instead of cutting them.
The hyacinth has been popular for hundreds of years for its fragrant blooms, which come in a wide range of colors. When the blooms fade at the end of their growing season, remove the small flowers, leaving the stem in place to keep the bulb healthy.
If you care properly for tulips, they'll return year after year. Once their beautiful cup-like blooms have withered, remove the seed heads to keep the bulb strong. If squirrels got to your tulips over the winter, try planting bulbs in a chicken-wire cage next fall.
Contrary to their name, bluebells can be purple, blue, or even white. These shade-loving, slightly curled plants produce their bell-shaped bloom in late spring. Bluebells are hardy but can suffer from bulb flies. Protect them by lightly tamping down loose soil around new growth.

Storm Intensity Increase
More heat and water in the atmosphere and warmer sea surface temperatures could provide more fuel to increase the wind speeds of tropical storms. Storm intensity is measured by the maximum surface wind speed or the minimum sea level pressure. Climate change affects many of the factors that can result in greater storm intensity. It leads to additional latent heat available in warmer air, and an increase in the meridional (or poleward) temperature gradient, which increases available potential energy.

Q: JSP for a small project I would like to organize my own web site. This means that I can spend up to $30 for hosting. What about visitors? Let us be hoping fo up to 3000 per day in half a year.
This is my first experience in web. The site will contain articles, a forum and a wiki.
I have to choose a language and a web framework. Somehow I am afraid of dynamic languages (like Python or Ruby). I would gladly use Java. But as far as I have heard, Java is not a suitable solution for a shared hosting. Maybe I'm lack behind the time.
Well, let us start with static and dynamic typing. This is what troubles me most. Dynamic typing is not that safe. They say you can use testing. Well, yes. But this means that the speed of development will be not much higher. Then there is a maintainability problem. I think it is easier to maintain a project in Java. Of course, it is much easier to make a simple site in a script language. But it is harder to make a robust and viable one.
They say that Java devours resources and needs restarting of the virtual machines. Is it a problem nowadays?
They say that Java is for enterprise level only. But on the other hand any web project is at enterprise level.
Then. Will I be able to find any ready made wiki  module in case of JSF? And a forum as well? Could you show me examples of such sites?
I just don't understand why most web projects are written in script languages. Simplicity of those languages is somehow a weak argument as compared to the benefits of static typing.
Then there is a problem of community. Communities in PHP, Ruby or Python are huge. But documentation is not that good. And good documentation may often be better than any community.
If you work in a bank, it is strange that you should constantly google for somebody else's code or seek for advice.
Well, I just wanted to hear your opinion. If you say that JSP is not for you, I'll be happy with Python or something.

Stella Maris Concert Choir
A Video Sample
Our annual Lenten Concert on Palm Sundays is a parennial favourite. Good Shepherd Church is typically filled and we raise thousands of dollars for the charities we support. A typical selection is "Fairest Lord Jesus"; a wonderful piece dating back to 1677. The choir also performs a wide range of sacred music by classical and contemporary composers.
A Typical Year of Concerts
Annual Christmas Concert
We just love to sing. That makes us a busy choir. In a typical year, we will perform half a dozen major concerts and many other smaller fund-raisers, community choral presentations, special liturgical celebrations, etc. Our Annual Christmas Concert is a perennial favourite. We will often invite other groups such as children's choirs, college and university choirs, or musical ensembles to join us in this festive kick-off to the Christmas season.
"One Hour" Palm Sunday
Our "One Hour" concert is performed on Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week leading up to Christianity's most important day in the liturgical year, Easter. The "One Hour" concert takes it's name from the gospels in which Christ finds his followers asleep prior to the crucifixion and asks "Could you not watch with me, one hour?" This concert is reverential and meditational and we often include works of the great Masters; Mozart, Hyden, Bach. We also perform more contemporary music, but always melodic and emotional.
Euro Tour Tab 3
European Tour Kick-Off
It would be great to go to Europe every year, but that's just not possible. Nevertheless, we DO seem to make it every two to three years and 2014 will be another year to remember. During years when we do not perform a Euro-Tour kick-off concert, we usually perform for the benefit of a local charity, such as the South Surrey/White Rock Food Bank or the South Surrey/White Rock Hospice.
Benefit Concert Tab 4
Charity Benefit Concert
We have performed a large number of Charity Benefit Concerts over the years. We firmly believe in the important role music can play in evangelization but also in the Catholic principal of Charitable Works. Whenever our schedule will allow, we make sure that we do our best to raise funds for a local worthwhile cause. Of course, a portion of the funds we raise go the "Chalice" catholic charity through which we "adopt" children of impoverished or war-torn countries and help them lead as normal a life as possible with food and education.
Remembrance Day Tab 5
We performed our first Remembrance Day concert in 2013. Our goal was to create a solemn, reverential musical event; to honour all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for peace. A large number of new pieces were introduced for this concert and we were very encouraged by the very positive response of so many attendees. We certainly will be doing it again. Proceeds from the concert were shared with our adopted charities.
Various Charity Concerts Tab 6
Various Charity Concerts
Other concerts occur throughout the year. These posters are for Fall (October Concert) with our friends the Vancouver Brass Ensemble and a June Concert at Holy Cross Church in Crescent Beach in aid of the local Food Bank.
World Premiere of New Kyrie

I was on a call recently with my colleagues and a partner, and the discussion prompted me to write this article.
Often an organization moving forward with a Cloud transformation is focused on cost cutting by replacing the infrastructure and the operating model (including the ownership of the program) is an afterthought. But if you look at Cloud Computing holistically it's a paradigm shift, and that's where the disconnect starts.
Cloud by itself is a fairly broad term with a suite of capabilities - SaaS, PaaS, IaaS - and every time this definition changes the ownership changes. Hence there is no straight answer to the ownership question, however I will share a blueprint which you can use for your organization to arrive at an operating model which will also define the ownership for your enterprise.
It can be a horizontal focused application or supporting a key business process within a line of business or a cloud based product like Salesforce / Workday etc.
Where it gets tricky is when we start talking about PaaS or IaaS (for the sake of simplicity, lets keep them together) - AWS, Azure, Google Compute Engine, Redhat, Rack space etc. Typically the Cloud program is aiming to replace the existing infrastructure - at least that's where it often starts - and the initiative is run by the infrastructure teams, which makes total sense when you just think of it as data-center replacement, however when you start engaging the application / product teams to migrate, adopt and change to cloud. Hence, once the initiative is already in flight they start to ask question and everything you thought about the program was right, turns out to be wrong - operating model, objective, risks etc. And the consumer has the power and authority to say NO to the platform if it doesn't meet their requirements.
If you have been in this situation already you know what I am talking about and for those who are yet to embark on this journey will go through the same, UNLESS you start from the top and engage the applications group from the beginning. Start putting together objectives and key KPIs for the program, define the target operating model upfront, spend time and money in analysis to ensure the common architecture is supporting everyone (but not necessarily everything), and clearly define the ownership of different pieces.
Cloud Programs are not about just the cost cutting by replacing DCs but they are about agility - faster time to market for client facing products or internal applications and systems to support your business.
