2020 candidates who are among the 1% face challenges in championing the 99%
In a rustic wood barn well-lit for television and with his blue-collared chambray shirt rolled up to the elbows, billionaire liberal activist Tom Steyer spoke straight to camera, decrying fat cats' clout on the structures of power as he announced his 2020 presidential bid.
"I think people believe that the corporations have bought the democracy, that the politicians don't care about or respect them." Steyer narrates in the campaign video which includes a montage: of a veritable who's-who of infamous faces – Bernie Madoff, Donald Trump Jr. and Sr. – all depicted as moneyed villains deployed as a foil for his staunch stance against corporate corruption. Figures who put a face on the forces Steyer said he's running to defeat.
Within hours of launching his campaign, his progressive competitors had already pounced – criticizing Steyer for his own fortune – and the $100 million of his money he's committed to putting in for his campaign. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren tweeted and used his announcement as a springboard for her own fundraising saying candidates need to be able to do more than just write "big checks." Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders told MSNBC that he is "tired of seeing billionaires trying to buy political power."
Money talks – it always has; and in this 2020 presidential race – it also runs.
And it's also become a deployable talking point for candidates making the grassroots pitch to wield against high dollar Goliaths – Steyer facing off against corporate greed; progressive candidates shaking fists at the billionaire's wallet. But, political experts say that dramatic foil could flip: for even as Warren and Sanders oppose 'millionaires and billionaires' – they, too, are in the 1%, each with a gross income well over $1 million in recent years.
"They're attacking the billionaire – he's an easy target – but the reality is that's how you influence politics right now," Dana R. Fisher, a professor of sociology at the University of Maryland focusing on the nexus of democracy, politics and environment. "But they're still one percenters – and for most Americans the difference between their million and his billion is a distinction without a difference – it's just a couple more zeroes. And – we have seen people with money do good things."
In the crowded Democratic field, the wealth spreads wide. Behind Steyer, at least three are millionaires: Harris, Warren and Sanders.
Harris reported the highest 2018 gross income at $1.89 million. Her husband, an attorney whom she married in 2014, earned most of their income. For 2018, Harris reported just over $157,000 in Senate salary and $320,125 in profits from the book she authored ahead of her campaign announcement.
Sanders, famous for his push against the unjust power of the richest 1%, reported an adjusted gross income of $1.06 million in 2016 and $1.13 million in 2017 – his bestselling 2016 book "Our Revolution" bumping his income in those years by more than four times the year earlier.
Warren, who's also made anti-corruption a key focus of her campaign, is also part of the 1%, the documents show. Her adjusted gross income in 2018, after filing jointly with her husband, exceeded $846,000. Between 2013 and 2015, her adjusted gross income was over $1 million and neared $1.55 million in 2014 after her first book was released.
The abundance of wealthy presidential hopefuls – even as the Democratic field coalesces around the idea of keeping money out of politics – raises questions about whether membership in the exclusive one-percenters' club preclude candidates from championing the 99%?
"I think it is a bit of a high wire act," Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics tells ABC News. "Bernie Sanders and others like Warren have been consistent with their message – hammering the system where big dollar donors have been able to shape things. But it remains to be seen how effective they will be since there is a lot more made about their own access to resources – but they're hoping to make hay with this message – and hoping to make money off criticizing money like Steyer's."
Some of the most affluent among the 2020 Democratic field have also led the fight against such money eclipsing the middle class – or choking marginalized groups.
Harris and Warren have joined fellow candidates rallying at union workers' forums, promising that should they take the White House, workers in every state will earn no less than $15 an hour. Sanders often reminds voters that he has been "out on the picket line, standing with workers my entire life" and has brought the 'fight for 15′ to numerous strikes, even a Walmart shareholders' meeting.
On the heels of Steyer's announcement, Sanders also penned an op-ed linking disparities in wealth to greater divides in the nation.
"The unfortunate truth is that politicians who take checks from millionaires and billionaires owe their corporate constituents first, and everyday Americans last. The black-white wealth gap could be closed by targeting the extreme wealth at the very top. Instead, politicians beholden to the one percent ask the black middle class and the white middle class to fight over scraps."
Steyer now seeks to 'push power down' to the people – as he underscored during an interview with CBS after he announced his 2020 run.
"The biggest question facing the United States is not what we should do. But how are we going to break the corrupt stranglehold that corporations have on our government?" Steyer said of why he's running. "And how are we actually going to get done things that the American people want? How are we going to return power to the American people? That is the question in front of us today, and I didn't feel it was being addressed."
On the other side of the aisle, President Donald Trump – like Steyer a wealthy outsider businessman running on populist appeal – has made the case that bringing back jobs in the manufacturing and coal sectors as well as focusing on "America First" trade policies will lift the middle class.
There's never been a shortfall when it comes to counting the well-heeled class' involvement in politics: running for office is an expensive game, political experts point out.
"Billionaires are always a part of the political sphere and race for the white house – whether they're running for office," Krumholz says. "Being rich doesn't preclude you from advocating for the people – and it can be immensely helpful – at the same time – money is essential, but not sufficient."
The trend this cycle, though, is that those extra zeroes are the problem in politics – and that the small dollars and cents donated by millions of people instead – are greater than the sum of their parts, Krumholz said.
"Everyone wants to claim the mantle of the 'chosen' candidate with small donors giving humble amounts," Krumholz said. "But rejecting PAC money is so de rigueur now that you're actually standing out more now if you don't do that. So there's less to be gained by taking PAC money than not – so as not to stand out as the less pure candidate."
As the brimming Democratic field thins, and the primary gives way to the main stage – that may change.
"Then the candidate is longer having to do so much virtue signaling in order to distinguish themselves from the pack – and less need to be so ideologically pure," she said. "I expect there will be more acceptance of more kinds of donor interests stepping in – once the nominee is elected – and the fight is against President Trump."

No For An Answer - Leaving lyrics
Leaving by No For An Answer
Setting the tone, hoping to reach what I aimed for
Trying so hard to figure out what I came for
But it really don't matter, speaking nowhere and something was said without meaning
Doing what I was meant to, stop you from reeling
But it really don't matter, really don't matter no more
So tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die, how am I supposed to rob you now?
Tired like hell, sleeping away till the evening
Wondering why it hurts when I think about leaving
But it really don't matter, nowhere to go and nothing is left to believe in
Looking around, I can't understand what I'm seeing
Tell me how you feel when you die, how am I supposed to rob you any other way?
Nothing can repair what I have done
[x3] Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die, how am I supposed to rob you (now)? [x3]

Building Back Better One Project at a Time

WASHINGTON, DC – The Atlantic Council announced today its new trade initiative, aimed at boosting trade relations between the United States and India. The initiative, housed in the Council's South Asia Center, will build on the momentum of President Obama and Prime Minister Modi's ambitious goal to increase the trade levels between the two countries in the next ten years from $100 billion to a projected $500 billion.
On Monday, April 25, 2016, the Atlantic Council will host an event titled "Unlocking the Potential of US-India Trade" as the first public event of the Initiative. The event will feature US Senator John Cornyn (R-TX); US Senator Mark Warner (D-VA); Indian Ambassador to the United States Arun Singh; Atlantic Council Chairman Jon M. Huntsman, Jr.; and Atlantic Council President and CEO Frederick Kempe.
"India and the United States enjoy a robust and thriving trade relationship which holds tremendous potential for the future in a number of sectors including renewable energy, infrastructure, smart cities, IT services, digital economy, and defense," said Indian Ambassador to the United States Arun Singh. "The elevation of the Strategic Dialogue between the two countries to a Strategic and Commercial Dialogue is a testimony to the importance of our trade and commercial ties in strengthening our bilateral partnership. I welcome the Atlantic Council's new trade initiative, which is timely and reflective of the new synergy in our trade relations."
The Atlantic Council US-India Trade Initiative aims to generate American support for continued economic engagement in India and to forge collaboration on issues of trade and commerce. In an effort to leverage, sustain, and promote the positive developments in trade relations between the two countries, the Initiative will develop policy briefs and strategy papers, convene US-India trade workshops, and host a flagship US-India Trade Conference with policymakers, practitioners, and private-sector leaders. The Initiative will address seven of the most crucial areas of the US-India trade relationship, including smart cities, infrastructure, defense, financial institutions, insurance, trade agreements, and intellectual property rights.

On 12 July 2016, the European Commission adopted a new arrangement for international exchanges of data between the United States and the European Union, namely, the "Privacy Shield".
In that regard, in February 2016 it was announced that there would be a new framework that would provide the necessary guarantees for the transatlantic flow of EU citizens' personal data. Just this month, the French data protection authority (the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés –CNIL-) asked Facebook to stop compiling the data of users who did not have an account with the social media site and to stop transferring that data to the U.S., thus creating a growing awareness of transatlantic data transfers throughout the whole of Europe.
For this reason, this new arrangement has been in the spotlight in a number of sectors ever since it was conceived.
Those principles will be implemented by the following means: U.S. companies handling European citizens' data will have to register to be on the "Privacy Shield" list and self-certify that they meet the standards set out by the arrangement; there will also be dispute resolution mechanisms that may be accessed by citizens who consider their rights to have been violated within the context of this system; and there will be cooperation between the European Commission and the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The above measures merely seek to ensure an adequate level of protection of the personal data of EU citizens, as well as assurances for U.S. companies which, as market operators, handle that data.
The adequacy decision is now in force, though U.S. companies will not be able to register to be on the aforementioned list until 1 August 2016. As regards EU citizens, the European Commission has announced that it will be publishing a guide to help get complaints procedures against companies underway. For the time being, information has been provided in FAQ format along with the press release.
As is typically the case where such momentous issues are concerned, the terms of this new arrangement have been subject to heavy debate.
Figures such as the Euro MP Jan–Philipp Albrecht consider that although the arrangement might, at first glance, appear to provide guarantees, the practical application of its mechanisms could render it meaningless. He highlights the intricate and complex nature of the rules for legal redress for unauthorised use of citizens' personal data due to the large number of intermediaries involved, such as arbitration bodies and national authorities. Also, a number of sectors have pointed out that the wording concerning mass surveillance echoes the "Safe Harbor" framework almost word for word.
It should nevertheless be noted that the "Privacy Shield" has been tweaked throughout the drafting process to accommodate the suggestions and opinions of the many authorities on the subject, such as the Article 29 Working Party, the European Parliament and the European Data Protection Supervisor.
This provides another tool to promote trade between the European Union and the United States, one that is based on a vision that offers more guarantees as far as citizens' rights are concerned.

The Storm finished 9-17 overall and 1-7 in conference play a season ago. Head coach Lana Smith, who is in her 20th year at Simpson, said the team has many goals but one constant.
Last season, the Storm finished eighth in a very competitive Iowa Conference. This season, the ladies were picked to finish eighth again by the American Rivers Conference Preseason Coaches' Poll.
The team lost star performer Jacque Luth to graduation but returned first team all-conference middle hitter Hannah Lester. In addition to Lester, the team brings back four more starters and 11 letter winners. Lester will anchor the Simpson team with lots of young talent.
The Storm have already started the season and are sitting at 4-6 overall through 10 games. This includes a conference win over Central College last Tuesday.
Although the record doesn't necessarily show it, Smith has seen some encouraging things from her young team.
While she sees a lot of positive things on the floor, Smith says her team has a lot of room to grow. Her squad is full of young players who want to grow and get better. She says that the ladies have to want to improve every day in practice and in games.
The Storm will travel to Wisconsin for the Wis.-River Falls Invitational this Saturday, Sept. 15, and continue conference play on Sept. 18 at Luther College.


A cracked tooth or a deep cavity can be the cause of extreme pain and discomfort. Root Canal therapy is a treatment that will alleviate the pain and repair the tooth. This process involves removing the pulp and nerves from the tooth and cleaning the infected portion.
If you are experiencing extreme tooth pain, a root canal may be the treatment you need. Common symptoms include: tooth pain while chewing, pain that wakes you up while sleeping, sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration or darkening of the tooth and swollen gums.
At Meridian Dental Center, the root canal process begins by making an opening into the pump chamber and removing the pulp. Once the area is cleaned, the dentist will decide if the root canal can be finished or if it will take multiple visits. If more than one visit is required a temporary filling will be placed over the tooth.

Cleveland: An Historical Overview
INTERNATIONAL ASSN. OF MACHINISTS AND AEROSPACE WORKERS
The INTERNATIONAL ASSN. OF MACHINISTS AND AEROSPACE WORKERS began in 1888 in Atlanta, GA. The Cleveland IAM was first chartered in Jan. 1890 as Lodge 83, which organized machinists who worked in local shops. Following the lead of the national organization, which affiliated with the American Federation of Labor in 1892, the local lodges affiliated with the Central Labor Union (later the CLEVELAND FEDERATION OF LABOR) and joined with other members in a general strike in 1901 for the 9-hour day. During World War I the group won raises for its members by systematically shifting them from one plant to another. However, following wartime growth in the machinery field, the National Manufacturers Assn. attacked the expanding labor movement by strengthening the blackball system and promoting the open shop. Cleveland locals, organized into District 54 since 1913, fought back in 1919 by consolidating 5 existing IAM lodges into Lodge 439, and chartering auto mechanics Lodge 1363. These 2 stronger bodies supported the district in lean times. When the National Industrial Recovery Act guaranteed workers the right to organize in 1933, District 54 was ready. Nearly a dozen new lodges were chartered from 1933-40. Some were composed entirely of workers at one plant (1108, Chase Brass & Copper, 1253, Warner & Swasey, 1228, Addressograph-Multigraph) while others cut across company lines to unite men employed in a particular industry (metal stamping) or by job classification (tool-and-die makers). However, many new lodges collapsed in the face of employer opposition.
District finances faltered in 1938, when hundreds of machinists were out of work. In Oct. 1938, MATTHEW DEMORE led a reform slate of candidates pledged to streamline district affairs. Through Demore's leadership, membership grew from 4,500 in 1939 to 15,000 by 1941, and the IAM established a closer relationship with the Cleveland Federation of Labor. With the declining fortunes of the machine-tool industry after World War II, and the rising prominence of the aerospace industry, the IAM organized those workers and changed its name after 1966. Local workforce reductions in major corporations such as WARNER & SWASEY, Chase Brass, and Addressograph reduced lodge membership from 19,000 in 1961 to 12,000 in 1986.
The merger of the International Woodworkers of America with the IAM in 1994 helped boost membership, but overall membership declined to about 8,000 by 1995. Later the IAM contemplated other mergers including ones with the UAW and United Steel Workers.
In 1995, Tom Frisbie served as president of IAM District 54. In 2004, T. Dean Wright, Jr. became president of IAM District 54.
In 2010 District Lodge 54's headquarters moved to Columbus, Ohio, which allowed it to better serve members in its region which encompassed all of Ohio and West Virginia. It continued to maintain a satellite office within Local Lodge 439's office off Ridge Road in Cleveland. As of 2013 the District's membership totaled 14,000 active and retired members.

UK Enters Recession: Post-Lockdown News in August
By Super Admin12. August 2020COVID-19, News
With the official announcement that the UK has entered a recession, the Chancellor has said the economic slump will lead to more job losses in the coming months. Official jobs figures released on Tuesday showed the number of people in work fell by 220,000 between April and June, with one in three companies expecting to announce more redundancies by autumn. As the lifting of lockdown continues through August, we take an overview of the shape of things to come.
Concerns about unemployment have caused trade unions to urge Chancellor Rishi Sunak to extend the government furlough scheme. More than nine million jobs have been furloughed under the government's job retention scheme, with two-fifths of businesses who had furloughed staff now providing pay top-ups. However, in a BBC interview on Wednesday, Mr Sunak did not waver on ending the government's furlough scheme of job subsidies
Unemployment is expected to almost double from the current rate of 3.9% to 7.5% by the end of the year as government-funded support schemes come to an end. Average earnings are also expected to shrink for the first time since the financial crisis. The Bank of England said more workers faced a pay cut or freeze in 2020. Online job adverts have been slow to recover from their low point on 1 May 2020 and remain at around 50% of the 2019 average. Higher figures were seen in transport, logistics, and warehousing which increased five percentage points to 71% of the 2019 average – for more on the latest hiring news see here.
The Bank expects the UK economy to shrink by 9.5% this year – the biggest annual decline in 100 years. The UK now faces its sharpest recession on record. Inflation is expected to fall close to zero by the end of 2020, before gradually rising back to its target of 2%. Growth of 9% in 2021, and 3.5% in 2022 is forecast, with the economy regaining pre-Covid strength at the end of 2021. However, the latest forecasts are based on the assumption that there is a smooth transition to a new EU free trade agreement at the start of 2021 and that there is no second wave of the virus.
Meanwhile, a new 90-minute test that can detect coronavirus and flu has been rolled out in hospitals and care homes. The "on-the-spot" swab and DNA tests will help distinguish between Covid-19 and other seasonal illnesses. The health secretary said this would be "hugely beneficial" over the winter, with a third of tests currently taking longer than 24 hours to process. Sir John Bell, Professor of Medicine at Oxford University, who has been advising the government on tests, said they produced the same "sensitivity" as the current lab-based tests.
There was good news for the NHS this month as funding of up to £172m for thousands more apprentice nurses was unveiled by the Government. The funding comes as the number of people looking for information on nursing the NHS careers website rose by 138% between March and June. The Royal College of Nursing welcomed the move but said the plans didn't go far enough. There are calls for the government to scrap tuition fees for nurses, who were among the NHS workers who took to the streets to demand better pay following the inadequate pay rise for public sector workers announced last month.
Lastly, August saw the Government launch their "Eat out to help out" initiative at more than 72,000 venues across the UK. No vouchers are required, with the participating establishment deducting 50% from the bill and charging the discount to the Treasury. Officials said there had been more than 3.3 million hits on the "eat out to help out" restaurant finder website since it started up last week. However, there's still concern among the public about eating out, with ONS figures reporting a significant increase of adults wearing a face-covering in public.
With this in mind, offices, factories and shops could soon be given a "Covid security" rating measuring how well protected against the spread of coronavirus they are. Government scientific experts recommend using information from health and safety spot checks combined with data gathered by NHS Test and Trace to determine the settings where Covid-19 infections are most likely to take place. The ratings could then be used to help the public decide what level of risk they are comfortable with based on their own susceptibility to the disease.

If you are into app development, you need to be careful about a few things. App development involves controlling scope, budget issues and handling a lot of resources like designers, developers, analysts, testers, and technical writers amongst a hundred other things. One needs to ensure that the project is always on track – sequentially, with minimal wastage of time and resources.
It is important to learn from mistakes and it is important to learn from other's experience as that is the only way to shorten the learning curve. There are some blind spots that need to be taken care of. If you are designing an app, you need to avoid these 6 mistakes.
Are you trying to cram every feature of your website into the app? Don't. Your app should have a simple navigation with features that are necessary – nothing more and nothing less. More features will crowd the space and confuse the user. Less features will irritate the user and make your app less user-friendly. Focusing on too many features can prove deadly for your team's morale. The product gets delayed and while you are busy perfecting the product you lose out on the chance to collect useful user feedback.
Always remember your target audience – the ones you are developing the app for. Run tests, conduct polls, ask questions, prepare long questionnaires for them, research and find out what the users expect from your app; which features they prefer and then go forth and meet those expectations. Start with bare minimum – the core features and add the other features on the way – as you go along – as and when required.
It is very important for the app development and designing team to be a cohesive unit. The process of app development is smoother with lesser hiccups when both developing and the designing team are on the same page. It is important for the designers to understand the view of developers as developing and coding an app takes time. A designer should have a general idea of the man-hours and other resources that are needed for an app development job. Unless he is Steve Jobs, a designer's insistence on specifics without taking into consideration the developer's viewpoint can cause fissures in the app development and designing teams which may result in avoidable delays. A developer on his part should try to understand a designer's view. Developers can suggest options of a design during initial meets before finalizing the design of the app which should preferably be done as a team.
It can be tempting to start building your app for multiple platforms together but it is not prudent. When you start building for multiple platforms together you multiply the engineering costs. The project takes more time and eventually your app takes a longer route to reach the app store. If you focus on building on one platform you can get your MVP (minimum viable product) out sooner in the stores and you start receiving the feedback too. It is easier to make changes and course correction on one platform. Once an app is finalized on one platform, then think of building it on other platforms. That way you will be clearer and your app on the second platform will reach the app store with minimal hiccups as you won't be repeating any mistakes. Simultaneous build-ups can have similar mistakes.
You can opt for cross platform tools to build apps on different platforms simultaneously.
Is your app totally dependent on constant and uninterrupted internet connection? It is not always possible. But if your app can have its core functionalities work even without constant internet connection, it will make your app more adaptable and more popular with users who do not have smartphones connected to internet constantly. In many countries, users turn off their cellular data from time-to-time to prevent apps from using it in the background or are not able to access internet due to poor connectivity or access. According to 'The Deloitte Global Mobile Consumer Survey 2015′ in India, consumers increasingly use Wi-Fi at home, at a place of study or work for accessing the internet instead of cellular data. The Wi-Fi usage has increased from 43% in 2013 to 45% in 2015 and cellular data usage declined from 57% to 55% during the same period.
Do you need a good project manager when developing an app? Yes, you do. Why? What does a project manager do? Well, for starters, he remains a reliable and a single point of contact for all the information you need. He keeps all the stakeholders of the app-in-development-stage in the loop. He knows about everything that is going on and at what stage. He knows when things are on track and when it is time for a course correction. He manages the project's scope, budgeting, resources and other issues that may arise during the development stage. He prepares the product specification document and product maps which are specialized jobs. A good project manager leads from the front and delivers. Having a good project manager may cost you a bit more but he is worth every penny. He handles all the variables and crises and in the end helps you save more time and money.
If you are not able to find a good project manager, or developers you could consider hiring a good professional app development company. A good company will have experienced project managers and expert teams who have necessary skills and expertise to design and develop the product you have in mind. OpenXcell is one such top ranking app development company, which is headquartered in New York, USA. It can help you with all kinds of apps.
If you are developing an app, you need to think about how you are going to market your app too. You need to have prelaunch – launch and post launch strategies. Poor marketing can stall the reach and distribution of your app and all your efforts can go down the drain. People need to know you exist.
You can use blogs, you can pitch your app to marketers, bloggers, reviewers and social media influencers who can then reach out to the masses in their own way. You can have a promotional website, promotional social media accounts and a PR team to create a buzz for the app. Don't forget to have a dedicated team for APO – App Store Optimization.
There are many things that can go wrong when you start designing and developing an app. If you pay attention and ensure that the key elements are in control and in place, the project cycle becomes easy to manage. You can opt for professional experts to help you with different aspects of app development, if you feel you lack the skill and expertise or if you feel your project is spiralling out of your control. There are several companies which provide you quality apps at right price. When you develop apps with us we take care of the basic issues discussed here and ensure that you have productive app development sessions with your designated team. Godspeed.

We're excited to announce support for Identity and Access Management (IAM) Roles for delegating permissions and access to Qubole. IAM Roles are a security best practice on AWS. Customers no longer need to provide access and secret keys to Qubole, making access control more secure.
Here's some background on why Qubole requires access to our customers' resources. Qubole is a web service that runs on infrastructure provided by the three major public clouds: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. For Big Data analysis and processing, we orchestrate storage and compute resources owned in the customer's account. In order to do this, our customers delegate the necessary permissions to Qubole.
This model of keeping resources within the customer's account provides a lot of benefits. For one, the data remains under the ownership of the customer. Another benefit is with price discounted compute resources – customers can use the specific instances that they purchased through programs such as reserved instances in AWS and commitment plans on Azure. Finally, customers can run their compute instances in a private subnet, such as AWS's Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). This allows for greater security by having finer grained control for security groups and IP address ranges within a logically isolated network.
With IAM Roles, customers can delegate the necessary access to Qubole without exchanging any confidential access keys. Qubole becomes an IAM user and can assume the IAM Role to obtain temporary security credentials that are used to make AWS API calls. For Qubole, this means we can start clusters and nodes using the role without exchanging any keys.
QDS provides a very easy way to use IAM Roles in our web UI, as shown in the screenshot below.
Here's a diagram that shows how all the entities and resources work with each other once IAM Roles are used.
Thank you to Vishal Gupta, Yogesh Garg, Malay Majithia, Aman Goel, Abhishek Srivastava, Prasanna Santhanam, and our intern last summer Karandeep Johar for shipping this important feature for our customers!
Starting August 20th, all new Qubole accounts have this feature enabled. If you would like to use IAM Roles in an account created prior to that date, you can contact us at [email protected].
You can get started with IAM roles by following this guide in our documentation. If you're new to Qubole, check out our 15-day free trial of Qubole for AWS. We'd love to hear your feedback on Qubole as well as our support for IAM Roles!


You are here: Home / Swimming Pool / Where's the Leak?
Do you see water around the base of the equipment when the pool is running (or even when it's not running)?
Do you have any areas in the pool deck that are settling, sinking or lifting?
Is your equipment losing prime?
Are you filling your pool more than once a week?
If you can answer yes to any of these questions, you MAY have a leak. In the springtime, as the water temperature rises, cracks or leaks can form in your equipment, lines or the pool. Over time, these little leaks expand. For example, a one inch leak can waste up to 500 gallons of water. However, if you catch it in time, most of the repairs are easy and inexpensive.
An easy way to detect a pool leak? Use a bucket.
If you have completed a thorough visual check of your pool and equipment, grab a bucket, fill it up with water and mark the water level in the bucket and the pool. Check the levels after 24 hours. If more water has evaporated from the pool than the bucket, you should have your pool checked by a professional. In order to help our clients discover leaks, Tropical Pools and Pavers utilizes Bud's Pool Service.
With over 20 years of expertise, Bud's Pool Service deploys state of the art equipment to precisely pinpoint leaks in pools. To avoid costly repairs, call Bud's today at 727.528.1928 to schedule your appointment.

Here's my first post of a series looking at some of the new functionality in WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 that has come out of the Hursley Development Lab, in particular in the area of the service integration bus.
One of the most of obvious change is the addition of a new persistence mechanism: the file store. In Version 6.0, the messaging engine data store used JDBC to store persistent messages and transactional data (amongst other things) in to a database. There were a couple of issues with this. Firstly, even for non-transactional, non-persistent messaging, it meant configuring a database and, secondly, the out-of-the-box performance with the default Cloudscape database was not great.
In Version 6.1, the default is to use a proprietary flat file in much the same way as WebSphere MQ. Although almost three times faster than using Cloudscape, the best performance can still be obtained by offloading processing to a remote DB2 instance. It may also be preferable to still use a database for other reasons such as high availability and backup and recovery.

Hiya guys! I have another post today for Digit-al Dozen Negative Space week. This was another manicure I had cooked up in my head since I found out about this prompt. Every summer my husband takes me down the boardwalk and I end up always getting a Henna tattoo (along with a load of cotton candy and corn dogs). My last one has already long worn away, but then I got the idea about Henna on my nails. The stamping pattern for this really (I think) nails the whole Henna inspiration and looks just as if it were on my skin!
Yesterday I mentioned I was doing a little bit of cheating by using a sheer polish to hide my stained nails...well I'm doing that again today. If it's not obvious by now, I am obsessed with Bubble Bath from OPI. So in other words, be prepared to see it about everyday this week.
Originally I was going to use a matte topcoat on this manicure, but after doing the glossy first I couldn't get myself to do it. For some reason the shine was particularly strong in this design... not that I'm complaining! What do you guys think? Should I have gone with the matte instead?
I'll have a quick video posted on my Instagram for this mani when I get a chance to post it tomorrow (I hope). There really isn't much to this design though and that's okay. Sometimes simple can actually end up looking just as nice as anything else.
As always, please let me know what you think of this design down in the comments. Have you guys ever had Henna tattoo done on you before? Are you feeling the Henna vibes from this mani? Also don't forget to check out the other designs during Day 2 of The Digit-al Dozen Negative Space week!
OMG, these are freaking GORGEOUS, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to see them matte! Can you please slap on a matte TC before you remove them and post the pick on IG??
These look amazing! The stamping is perfect!

Q: Console.ReadLine() showing "Converting null literal or possible null value to non-nullable type." New to C#. I am trying this code, which I copied from w3school User Input
using System;

namespace Sample
{
    class Test
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string testString;
            Console.Write("Enter a string - ");
            testString = Console.ReadLine();
            Console.WriteLine("You entered '{0}'", testString);
        }
    }
}

But after I execute the Program, it shows an error at Console.ReadLine();
Converting null literal or possible null value to non-nullable type.

A: In recent versions of .NET, nullable reference types are supported by default and Console.ReadLine returns a nullable string. That means that you need to either declare your variable as nullable:
string? testString;

or specify that the return value will definitely not be null:
testString = Console.ReadLine()!;

If you use the former, you'll have allow for that when you use the variable later. The latter is OK because, in a console window, it will never be null.
You ought to do some reading on nullable reference types.

A: You need to make sure that you have a valid non-null string.
You could do this for example to make sure that it's valid before printing it to the console using the formatter:
testString = Console.ReadLine() ?? string.Empty;

This will assign an empty string to the testString variable in case that ReadLine() returns null.
