Colin Baker is the Doctor in 100.
The Doctor and Evelyn arrive in Rome, 101 BC, approximately, October. They meet a young lady of 19, Aurelia. She mentions her husband – Julius Caesar. Evelyn is excited, but her excitement soon turns to confusion. Surely you can't heal a wound in time with just a bit of sticking plaster?
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Born in 1756, a veritable wunderkind – playing music for the crowned heads of Europe as an infant, composing by the time he was five years old. But it's tempting to wonder whether his amazing longevity has overshadowed his creative genius – would Mozart's music be better respected, maybe, if he'd died as a young man? Would he be a legend of music, rather than of scientific curiosity, if he'd never lived to compose the film score for the remake of The Italian Job?
Someone has assassinated the Doctor.
And he only has 100 days to find out who did it.
100 is a bit meta, a bit farcical, and a bit self-indulgent. As Big Finish's one-hundredth main range for Doctor Who, I'm willing to overlook those flaws. 100 is a story that not only celebrates Big Finish's time with the show's license, but also pays homage to perhaps its most popular pairing of the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn Smythe through four stories. 100 is by no means a classic story or a mandatory one. It's best described as a piece of fun and harmless fluff.
100 BC finds the Doctor and Evelyn present in Republican Rome around the time of Julius Caesar's birth. A chance meeting with Senator Gaius Caesar and his wife turns awkward when the pair discover that they're interrupting a romantic evening for the couple. But a quick nine-month journey in the TARDIS places the Doctor and Evelyn back at the Senator's household just in time for the birth of the newest addition to the household. Not Julius Caesar, but Julia Caesar. The Doctor is determined to correct this mistake that their minor meddling cause, but Evelyn had other ideas. After all, Julius Caesar was one of the most influential men in all of history. What if that influence was instead wielded by a woman?
Jacqueline Rayner is the creator of Evelyn Smythe, having penned her very first audio, The Marian Conspiracy, in 2000. A veteran writer and editor of vast amounts of Who fiction, Rayner turns 100 BC into an historical farce. The Doctor is determined to keep time on its present course and ensure reality stays in place, but Evelyn is determined to strike a blow for women everywhere by ensure perhaps the most powerful figure in all of Roman history is born as Julia Caesar. As the story is a farce, I'm willing to put aside the fact that Evelyn, after traveling with the Doctor for a long period of time and seeing how important it is to keep history on the right track (especially considering her actions at the end of Arrangements for War), would be so gung-ho on "making history better." If the listener can make it past that bit of flawed characterization, then they'll be treated to a quickly moving and funny story where the Doctor and Evelyn consistently try to sabotage and one-up each other in terms of encouraging the Senator and his wife to get on with their amorous activities, with Evelyn faking a heart attack and the Sixth Doctor telling Evelyn he's a Six "from a horrible future" as the highlight.
It's more "timey-wimey" work from Shearman, but instead of milking it for horror this time out My Own Private Wolfgang goes the other way, with a few uncomfortable moments spaced out between abject farce as Mozart after Mozart arrive on the scene in an attempt to bend history to their will. The reasoning behind all these Mozarts is a unique twist, and what really make the tale are the final minutes where where all the plans of all the various Mozarts (some with the Doctor's assistance, some with Evelyn's) turn into a massive pileup of schemes and gambits. This story is simply over-the-top and funny, with John Sessions (the voice of the train's AI from Mummy on the Orient Express as well as QI and early episodes of Whose Line Is It Anyway voicing multiple Mozarts, each one with a voice just different enough to help the listener tell the difference between them.
Bedtime Story is…oh for [BLEEP]'s sake it's Joseph Lidster.
That's pretty much the only way to sum this story up. A slightly creepy story about multi-generational revenge is completely ruined by the "Lidster Twist" that closes the tale. A family deals with new life by embracing inevitable death, and the Doctor races to stop the family's "curse." The story itself is very basic, but well put together, and the twist before "the twist" is to stop the vengeful being is pretty well done. And for the briefest of moments, I truly believed we would finally have a Joseph Lidster story with a happy ending…but the last minute shoots that wish dead in the brainpan.
The 100 Days of the Doctor is where 100 goes completely meta and kind of sticks its own head up its arse. The Doctor finds himself poisoned by a intelligent virus, the Texineurons, who have been created to kill the Doctor slowly and painfully over the course of one-hundred days. Desperate to find a cure, the Doctor and Evelyn resolve to find the assassin by visiting all the locations where the Doctor could have been infected. But the TARDIS finds itself a bit confused, and ends up taking the Doctor to places past, present, future, and even beyond.
The 100 Days of the Doctor by Paul Cornell is nothing more than Big Finish pulling a Barry Horowitz and patting itself on the back just a bit. The Doctor and Evelyn visit the original incarnations of the TARDIS crew that have been portrayed by Big Finish since The Sirens of Time – so we don't get Turlough with the Fifth Doctor, but we get Erimem and Peri with the Fifth Doctor, as well as Hex's time with Seven and Ace, Eight's travels with Charley and C'rizz (as well as Eight's initial travels with Lucie Miller, which the Doctor waves off as 'sometimes one incarnation can meet another), and even the Unbound Doctor portrayed by David Warner and his companion, the Brigadier! There's plenty of commentary from Evelyn about "the pretty girls" and the Eighth Doctor looking "nice," and Six of course goes off a bit about "you never who might be listening and how they're going to react to one's adventures and companions" (referring to the Time Lords, of course), and in the end the Doctor saves himself by beating up the Assassin…and if I were to tell you the Assassin was played by Nicholas Briggs, would anyone here truly be surprised?
Overall, this collection of stories is all about Colin Baker and Maggie Stables, who serve as the quintessential Big Finish pairing alongside Eight and Charley. 100 has the pair showcase their wonderful chemistry from the ridiculous to the sublime, to the bickering and even to Evelyn almost literally dragging the Doctor along during the last of his 100 days. For a bit, I was finding 100 to be a bit of a weird production choice for Big Finish's milestone release. I was expecting something a bit more epic, more grandiose, more in line with what Zagreus tried to be. But then I remember the very last episode of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. All week leading up to that last Friday night show had been a quiet celebration of his time on the show, with the Thursday night episode with Robin Williams and Bette Midler an all-time classic. But that Friday episode, the very last one, was just Carson sitting on a chair, no guests, no big moments, just him talking about the moments that meant a lot to him. And I think that's the best way to look at 100. It's a landmark release, but Big Finish chose to celebrate it by trust four established writers and two actors with great chemistry to their thing.
Cobi's Synopsis – Four stories, two solid, one brilliant, and one written by Joseph Lidster make up a quiet and subdued celebration of 100, Big Finish's one hundredth main range release.
Next up – The Doctor's sins are catching up with him and the infernal beast Borarus is hungry. Time is running out and Judgement Day is at hand.
Paul McGann is the Doctor in…Absolution.

What is Horseracing?
Last year was the Super Bowl for the third time and the seventh year of the game itself. With the regular season over and the championship round now just a few weeks away, a lot of interest has been built around the next Super Bowl. Here are a few things to look forward to in the months leading up to the big game.
Halo Wars 2 This is the first new Halo game from Microsoft since Halo 4, which came out last year. In fact, Halo Wars 2 looks almost exactly like Halo Wars. It includes similar maps, units, strategies, and even game modes like the RTS battle mode, the battles between two teams, and the team death match that's currently popular. Although there won't be a major release until later this month, players who have already purchased the game and played it on Xbox Live are invited to test it out.
Boston Sports Talk It was rumored during the Super Bowl that ESPN was going to start airing football games, but the NFL didn't want them to do that and wouldn't let them have access to their coverage. Now that the news about ESPN taking sports away from them has become public, they're going to try to get into the football game with sports talk. Sports Talk would only be shown if the game was played in Boston, and it might be only available in the national feed if the game was played in Los Angeles.
Making the Projector News once again wants to show a movie about Super Bowl. It will probably show clips from Super Bowls past, show old shots of the original Super Bowl game, and reveal what it's like to be at the Super Bowl, which of course is very different from what it was like before all of the technology became a thing. Some of the big names are attached to the project, including Quentin Tarantino, Matthew McConaughey, and James Franco. It'll be interesting to see if any of these directors can pull off an authentic and exciting movie with technology that hasn't changed all that much. Total Chaos The new game coming out this year in Japan is called Total Chaos. It's not a new game, but it's a new game that take place entirely in Japan. It's the third game in the main series, but it's the first that doesn't feature any of the main characters from the previous games, which means that no one will remember who all of the characters are in the future.
Chipotle Season This year, Chipotle will be hosting its own Super Bowl party. That's the kind of thing that gets people excited, and some people will probably show up just because they love Chipotle. With lines forming outside of locations and online petitions going up, you can bet that more people will be making their way to the Super Bowl party than ever before.
Alcohol tasting Horseracing is an event that's already been happening for years, but the Super Bowl is the year that it will officially be an official event. People who are invited to the event will be served drinks, along with hosts and celebrities, and the winner of the event will have to choose one of two types of prizes. One of those prizes is having a bottle of booze thrown at them. Another is being made into a dart board.
These are just a few ideas that will probably be shown during the Super Bowl, and some will probably be shown by the NFL, but they're just a sampling of things that are happening in this year's Super Bowl and beyond. So be sure to keep your eyes out for all of them!

Q: In Zombies, run! is it possible to see the Zombie Chases? I'm fairly new to the app, and I've been caught by zombies several times. I failed the mission once, and I've lost about 18+ items just by dropping them so that I don't get caught/eaten.
My problem is I don't know where the zombies are coming from, so I don't know where to run.
I've tried to look at my screen when a chase happens, but I can't see the chase on my screen.
Is there any option that I have to enable, so that I can see the chases? Is that even possible?
Do the zombies always come from behind?

A: It's not possible to see the chases while you are running, because they're not directional. The way the chases work is that you are supposed to run 20% faster than you were going before the zombies appeared to outrun them.
Since it is only speed you need, not direction, there is no reason for them to show you the chase. Just make sure you run faster in whatever direction you choose when the app alerts you to a zombie chase, and you should be able to outrun them - they are intended to increase your speed for short bursts.
The chases will, however, show up when you view your route in Zombielink after your run.

Movement, dynamism, and the fleeting impressions which characterize Nature are born from asymmetry. One of the Maison's favourite themes, Nature finds its full expression in Van Cleef & Arpels' creations. Through asymmetry, the Maison creates a natural and ineffable harmony which breathes life into all its jewels.
Thanks to its asymmetric features, the Pivoine clip captures perfectly the beauty of the peony.
In the Frivole® collection, the rings are set in yellow gold with a diamond at its heart. The 2 flower ring plays on contrasting sizes, whereas the 8 flower ring depicts an asymmetrical bouquet, like those that can be found in the natural environment.
The Jardin Secret necklace from High Jewelry collection Les Jardins is composed of lines of diamond leaves that give rise to an asymmetrical design: two delicate bell-shaped flowers suspendfrom two marquise-cut peridot. Each of these flowers, one of which is opened and the other closed, has petals in pink gold set with pink sapphires and peridots, and each with three lines of baguette-cut diamond pistils from which emerge a marquise-cut diamond. The necklace captures a blossoming nature in all its asymmetrical beauty.
In the High Jewelry collection Oiseaux de Paradis®, this pair of earrings embodies asymmetry, with each one featuring a bird in colored sapphires and diamonds in full flight.
Nature is exalted in the Carpenteria clip from the High Jewelry collection California Rêverie™. The asymmetry apparent in the different sized petals and pistils of these flowers gives a natural aspect to this unique creation in diamonds, emeralds, and yellow sapphires.


A simple scenario explaining the usage and performance, when using EhCache along with Hibernate in a Spring environment. The performance results are taken using mySQL as the database.
[Download Sample Code] Please be informed that the size is about 10MB; as i have provided all the dependencies.
In this example, I need to retrieve close to 5,000 records in a single fetch and then cache this information. As usual, setup Spring contexts in your Spring configuration file. I have just one class, which is a Hibernate DAO, HibernateDoctorDAO.java. The dependency injection hierarchy is dataSource > sessionFactory > hibernateTemplate. hibernateTemplate is then injected into the HibernateDoctorDAO.java at runtime by the Spring Framework.
Instructions: Unzip the file and start by creating the database. Any mySQL database that is compatible with the MySQL Connector 5.0.8 is fine for this example. You will have to create the database data_explosion (USERNAME: root, PASSWORD: architect.2012) and the table DOCTOR_TABLE. You can use the provided doctor.sql as reference. Then run the java standalone com.sumsoft.spring.orm.hibernate.dataload.JDBCDataLoader to create and load a large number of arbitary records into the DOCTOR_TABLE. You can ignore or remove every invocation that is to PATIENT_TABLE, as this is only additional for this example. Then use spring_hibernate_cache.bat to run the application. Though not tested on UNIX, you may write a script similar to the batch file to run this application.

Rough Work Must Be Done
by Jordan J. Ballor • March 20, 2013
Joseph Sunde's fine post today on vocation examines the dynamic between work and toil, the former corresponding to God's creational ordinance and the latter referring to the corruption of that ordinance in light of the Fall into sin.
Joseph employs a distinction between "needs-based" work and something else, something privileged, a first-world kind of "fulfilling" work. The point DeKoster makes is right on target; we need to, in Bonhoeffer's words, break through from the "it" of the work to the "you" (ultimately the divine "You") that we meet in the work itself.
The discussions of these kinds of distinctions between "hard" work and "head" work have a long pedigree. There was a philosophical dispute running throughout the ancient and medieval eras about the value of the active versus the contemplative life. But I'd like to highlight a more proximate antecedent for some of this thinking, the British controversialist and critic John Ruskin (1819-1900).
Ruskin distinguishes between "rough" work and "soft" work, or work with the "hands" and work with the "head":
There must be work done by the arms, or none of us could live. There must be work done by the brains, or the life we get would not be worth having. And the same men cannot do both. There is rough work to be done, and rough men must do it; there is gentle work to be done, and gentlemen must do it; and it is physically impossible that one class should do, or divide, the work of the other. And it is of no use to try to conceal this sorrowful fact by fine words, and to talk to the workman about the honourableness of manual labour, and the dignity of humanity. That is a grand old proverb of Sancho Panza's, 'Fine words butter no parsnips;' and I can tell you that, all over England just now, you workmen are buying a great deal too much butter at that dairy. Rough work, honourable or not, takes the life out of us; and the man who has been heaving clay out of a ditch all day, or driving an express train against the north wind all night, or holding a collier's helm in a gale on a lee-shore, or whirling white hot iron at a furnace mouth, that man is not the same at the end of his day, or night, as one who has been sitting in a quiet room, with everything comfortable about him, reading books, or classing butterflies, or painting pictures. If it is any comfort to you to be told that the rough work is the more honourable of the two, I should be sorry to take that much of consolation from you; and in some sense I need not. The rough work is at all events real, honest, and, generally, though not always, useful; while the fine work is, a great deal of it, foolish and false as well as fine, and therefore dishonourable; but when both kinds are equally well and worthily done, the head's is the noble work, and the hand's the ignoble; and of all hand work whatsoever, necessary for the maintenance of life, those old words, 'In the sweat of thy face thou shalt eat bread,' indicate that the inherent nature of it is one of calamity; and that the ground, cursed for our sake, casts also some shadow of degradation into our contest with its thorn and its thistle; so that all nations have held their days honourable, or 'holy,' and constituted them 'holydays' or 'holidays,' by making them days of rest; and the promise, which, among all our distant hopes, seems to cast the chief brightness over death, is that blessing of the dead who die in the Lord, that 'they rest from their labours, and their works do follow them.'
There's something to this. There does seem to work that, as Ruskin puts it, "takes the life out of us." There is something about work that is toilsome, cursed, even alienating.
But is this an experience unique to "rough" work? It seems so for Ruskin, since it is the "hand work" that he highlights as particularly cursed. Those of us who work in the economy of ideas, if we are honest, I think, will not see such "head" work as immune from the curse, however.
Contrast Ruskin's judgment that "when both kinds are equally well and worthily done, the head's is the noble work, and the hand's the ignoble," with the view represented by Neal Plantinga and much contemporary neo-Calvinism, which eschews all such hierarchical ranking of soft work over hard work. Thus, writes Plantinga, "the things of the mind and spirit are no better, and are sometimes much worse, than the things of the body," claiming too that "it is not more Christian to play chess than to play hockey. It is not more Christian to become a minister than to become a muck farmer."
It seems to me that both Ruskin and Plantinga get at something true, but that they don't do justice to the complexity of the whole picture. Ruskin notes that the manual laborer is changed at the end of the day, he is "not the same at the end of his day, or night" as he was before or as one who was doing "head" work. This is a negative for Ruskin, as the person has, in some sense, lost something of himself.
But Lester DeKoster and Gerard Berghoef take this reality to which Ruskin points and construe it quite differently. The material matters of manual labor aren't all that matter, so to speak:
While the object of work is destined to perish, the soul formed by daily decision to do work carries over into eternity…. This perspective on work, as a maturing of the soul, liberates the believer from undue concern over the monotony of the assembly line, the threat of technology, or the reduction of the worker to but an easily replaceable cog in the industrial machine. One's job may be done by another. But each doer is himself unique, and what carries over beyond life and time is not the work but the worker. What doing the job does for each of us is not repeated in anyone else. What the exercise of will, of tenacity, of courage, of foresight, of triumph over temptations to get by, does for you is uniquely your own. One worker may replace another on the assembly line, but what each worker carries away from meeting the challenge of doing the day's shift will ever be his own. The lasting and creative consequence of daily work happens to be the worker. God so arranges that civilization grows out of the same effort that develops the soul.
Just as we shouldn't conflate matters of body and soul (as perhaps Plantinga's view might lead us to do), neither should we radically separate them (as Ruskin might lead us to do).
The critical question is how to properly relate body and soul, or from another perspective, nature and grace, and do them both justice. This is a perennial challenge, and one that he faith and work movement must engage directly.

The NHS says men need to have this much sex to prevent prostate cancer
Official guidelines have been issued on the subject
Max Channon
Jenna Thompson
The NHS has issued guidance on how many times men should be having sex to help prevent prostate cancer.
The official guidelines, published on the NHS website, says men should ejaculate at least 21 times a month through sex or masturbation.
It says doing so can "significantly" reduce men's risk of prostate cancer - the most common cancer in the UK.
More than 40,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed each year.
Researchers from Harvard and Boston medical schools studied 31,925 healthy men who completed a questionnaire about their ejaculation frequency in 1992, reports the Plymouth Herald.
The group, aged 20-29 and 40-49 were monitored until 2010 - and during that period 3,839 of them were diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Findings from the study, published in the journal European Urology, found that the risk of prostate cancer in men of those age groups was significantly reduced if they ejaculated at least 21 times a month, compared to men who ejaculate just four-to-seven times a month.
The NHS says sex can reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men
Currently, the reason behind this strange phenomenon is unknown - but some say the research hints at the possibility that ejaculation contributes to getting rid of cancer-causing elements and infections from the gland.
Inflammation is a known cause of cancer, and ejaculation may help to ease it.

They wrote: "We found that men reporting higher compared to lower ejaculatory frequency in adulthood were less likely to be subsequently diagnosed with prostate cancer."
The study has been featured on the NHS website, which notes a range of other factors - such as genetics, lifestyle, number of children, diet, nature of sexual activity and education - may also contribute to prostate cancer risk.
However the NHS website also says: "Despite any lurid tales you may have heard growing up, masturbation is entirely safe.
"So if you want to do it as a preventative method, then it wouldn't pose any health risks."
Initial signs of prostate cancer usually involve problems with urination, such as needing to urinate more frequently, due to the prostate getting larger. While prostate enlargement can occur as men grow older, it is important to check symptoms like these with your GP.
Prostate cancer facts
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in the UK
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with over 40,000 new cases diagnosed every year.
It usually develops slowly, so there may be no signs you have it for many years.
Symptoms often only become apparent when the prostate is large enough to affect the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the penis).When this happens, men may notice things like an increased need to urinate, straining while urinating and a feeling that your bladder has not fully emptied.T
These symptoms shouldn't be ignored, but they do not mean you definitely have prostate cancer. It is more likely that they are caused by something else, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (also known as BPH or prostate enlargement).

What is the prostate?
The prostate is a small gland in the pelvis found only in men. About the size of a satsuma, it's located between the penis and the bladder and surrounds the urethra.
The main function of the prostate is to help in the production of semen. It produces a thick white fluid that is mixed with the sperm produced by the testicles, to create semen.
Why does prostate cancer happen?
The causes of prostate cancer are largely unknown. However, certain things can increase your risk of developing the condition.
The chances of developing prostate cancer increase as you get older. Most cases develop in men aged 50 or older.
For reasons not yet understood, prostate cancer is more common in men of African-Caribbean or African descent, and less common in men of Asian descent.
Men who have first degree male relatives (such as a father or brother) affected by prostate cancer are also at slightly increased risk.
Tests for prostate cancer
There is no single test for prostate cancer. All the tests used to help diagnose the condition have benefits and risks, which your doctor should discuss with you.
The most commonly used tests for prostate cancer are blood tests, a physical examination of your prostate (known as a digital rectal examination or DRE) and a biopsy.
The blood test, known as a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, measures the level of PSA and may help detect early prostate cancer. Men are not routinely offered PSA tests to screen for prostate cancer, as results can be unreliable.
This is because the PSA blood test is not specific to prostate cancer. PSA can be raised due to a large non-cancerous growth of the prostate (BPH), a urinary tract infection or inflammation of the prostate, as well as prostate cancer. Raised PSA levels also cannot tell a doctor whether a man has life-threatening prostate cancer or not. This means a raised PSA can lead to unnecessary tests and treatment.
However, you can ask to be tested for prostate cancer once the benefits and risks have been explained to you.
How is prostate cancer treated?
For many men with prostate cancer, treatment is not immediately necessary.
If the cancer is at an early stage and not causing symptoms, a policy of "watchful waiting" or "active surveillance" may be adopted. This involves carefully monitoring your condition.
Some cases of prostate cancer can be cured if treated in the early stages. Treatments include surgically removing the prostate,radiotherapy and hormone therapy.
Some cases are only diagnosed at a later stage when the cancer has spread. If the cancer spreads to other parts of the body, typically the bones, it cannot be cured and treatment is focused on prolonging life and relieving symptoms.
All treatment options carry the risk of significant side effects, includingerectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. For this reason, many men choose to delay treatment until there is a risk the cancer might spread.
Newer treatments, such as high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) or cryotherapy, aim to reduce these side effects. Some hospitals may offer them as an alternative to surgery, radiotherapy or hormone therapy. However, the long-term effectiveness of these treatments are not yet known.
Living with prostate cancer
As prostate cancer usually progresses very slowly, you can live for decades without symptoms or needing treatment.
Nevertheless, it can have an effect on your life. As well as causing physical problems such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence, a diagnosis of prostate cancer can understandably make you feel anxious or depressed.
You may find it beneficial to talk about the condition with your family, friends, a family doctor and other men with prostate cancer.
Financial support is also available if prostate cancer reduces your ability to work.

Will San Francisco's Tech Bro Nightmare Become San Diego's Future?
by Jim Miller on June 3, 2019 · 5 comments
in Economy, San Diego, Under the Perfect Sun
Horton Plaza from an angle not often seen.
By Jim Miller
Bohemian San Francisco is deader than a doornail. That was the theme of a recent Washington Post piece by Karen Heller, "How San Francisco Broke America's Heart", that observed how "the great American romantic city" had been ruined by an army of tech bros and the economic forces they represent. As Heller writes, "everyone agrees that something has rotted in San Francisco," and it's not a product of the city's liberalism, but of a new wave of libertarian capitalism:
Real estate is the nation's costliest. Listings read like typos, a median $1.6 million for a single-family home and $3,700 monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment.
"This is unregulated capitalism, unbridled capitalism, capitalism run amok. There are no guardrails," says Salesforce founder and chairman Marc Benioff, a fourth-generation San Franciscan who in a TV interview branded his city "a train wreck."
The train wreck that has driven dozens of people I know to flee the city is the result of San Francisco getting what many other cities crave, "growth, start-ups, high-paying jobs, educated young people, soaring property values, commercial and residential construction, a vibrant street life, and so much disposable revenue."
And as this army of tech "innovators" have besieged the city, long-time residents are increasingly priced out and the bohemian spaces that had made San Francisco a haven for artists of every sort have begun to vanish. Teachers, social workers, and others not tied to the new tech money have found the city increasingly inhospitable. Even San Francisco's proud history as the capital of LGBTQ culture has taken a hit.
There has also been an uptick in the increasingly desperate homeless population and the stark class divide has slammed doors shut to the poor and vulnerable. In sum, as Heller paints the picture, one of the most open and generous urban cultures in America, the heart of various countercultures, has become a rich, mean place for those without the resources to enjoy its staggering beauty. San Francisco is now, sadly, "Too homogeneous. Too expensive. Too tech. Too millennial. Too white. Too elite. Too bro."
As I read Heller's fine piece, I recognized in it many of the same things I've heard in multiple conversations I've had with present and former San Francisco residents who are in the process of mourning the death of their beloved community.
I was also struck by how little the cautionary tale of San Francisco's demise as a city for everyone had registered in San Diego.
In fact, we seem to be hellbent on bringing the very same tech bro nightmare to downtown San Diego as if it is some magical elixir. Of course we have very little of the kind of bohemian history that our neighbors to the north have, but our city's boosters and politicians seem to think that bringing the same forces that have put San Francisco's creative culture on the endangered species list, radically exacerbated economic inequality, and made affordable housing nonexistent in San Francisco will somehow deliver a different result here in San Diego.
Indeed, just a couple of weeks ago, the city council voted to roll out the red carpet for the tech bros. As KPBS reported,
"Downtown San Diego's Horton Plaza is on its way to becoming a high-tech hub. The San Diego City Council voted unanimously late on Monday to approve a proposal from Los Angeles based Stockdale Capital Partners . . . to turn the mall into a mixed-use center called the Campus at Horton."
Last August, Forbes published a piece on how this "Los Angeles-based opportunistic real estate investor" bought "the beleaguered Horton Plaza" which was suffering from "a significant homeless presence in the adjacent Horton Plaza Park —locally dubbed 'Homeless Plaza'" and was aiming to save our endangered urban core with its "bid to transform San Diego's central business district into a tech hub by leveraging the high percentage of Millennials living in the city and the concentration of life science companies operating in the suburbs."
The model? You guessed it, San Francisco among other "transformed" metropolises:
"A high-density project like the Campus at Horton could bring thousands of jobs downtown and lift up surrounding neighborhoods . . . similar to development that has occurred in San Francisco's Transbay district, Chicago's West Loop and Scottsdale's Old Town."
The rhetoric of gentrification is always the same. Boosters describe targeted areas as blighted, homeless-infested urban spaces in need of salvation brought to you by transforming the neighborhood into employment and entertainment zones for affluent, largely white consumers. Making urban places safe and attractive for the privileged is always the end game, and the achievement of this goal is seen as de facto evidence of progress.
You can see this in the way the boosters of the Campus at Horton project describe how the mall had transformed the Gaslamp in the 1980s in a KPBS interview where one of them observed of San Diego's past gentrification efforts that:
[A] lot of people said "you're never going to clean that up. It's going to have the peep shows. It's going to have the adult theaters. It's going to have those dive bars." I think that changed, and we were okay with that. Then we saw single-family homes in Little Italy, and yeah, I miss them . . . The changes happened there with high rises and some of that community character. Yeah, it has changed, but no one would complain how vibrant it is now, and how it's a great place to be as a resident as well as a visitor. So that's why I say give us a chance. Give us a chance to show what we can do.
Thus, the purveyors of this brave new world see themselves as champions of innovation. The same can be said of the tech boosters in the East Village who also describe what came before in terms of blight, and they appeal to a similar urban progress narrative. In a 2016 Curbed article on the I.D.E.A. District, the authors opine that the plan is to –
"transform the surrounding blocks, including the Quartyard, into a new tech hub that proponents estimate will bring 13,000 design and tech jobs to the neighborhood over the next 12 years . . . turning the hip neighborhood into a live-work district for techies and designers."
And, as with the Campus at Horton, the echoes of the San Francisco experience are undeniable:
"The I.D.E.A. District makes the same bet that most developers and planners have been making: attract young talent, preferably in tech, and get them to set down roots, and benefit from a multiplier affect."
The larger question about this kind of "transformation" that is never asked of boosters is who benefits and who loses. It's clear that in San Diego, a city without any of the bohemian pretenses of San Francisco, the beneficiaries of the last couple of decades of gentrification and the themeparking of downtown San Diego have been the city's power elite and the affluent locals and tourists the gentrified downtown serves.
With the elimination of the vast majority of Single Room Occupancy hotels and apartments along with the "single family homes" on the edges of the urban core, the working class, poor, and vulnerable have suffered. As gentrification pushes its way into surrounding neighborhoods and the prices of the largely high-end developments leave out even middle-class folks, the majority of San Diegans have been disinvited to the party.
Now with this new push to welcome in the tech bros, we may very well see San Diego's already robust gentrification move toward the kind of hyper-gentrification that has ruined San Francisco for everyone but the rich.
So, beware of the glowing stories about the new "vitality" and "innovation" downtown because if it has the desired "multiplier effect," more and more San Diego neighborhoods will become prohibitively expensive, and we'll be a place where "Happy Happens" for a lot fewer of us.
Be careful of what you wish for, San Diego.

SF is officially the city the fell from grace. Quite a few people I know who are originally from there have moved to Phoenix of all places. Unfortunately little anything can be done. The new residents who CAN afford to live there are largely indifferent to its bohemian history many of them consider the poor and less fortunate a nuisance and an inconvenient burden. Mention the city's hippie past the they will scoff. Ironically, many of tech workers fancy themselves as "progressives". Also ironically, many are finding they can't really afford the city either as they are having to live with 5 or six people to a two bedroom apartment.
And yes it's happening here in SD. I'm considering leaving myself. Let's face it, we've lost.
Christopher June 4, 2019 at 5:21 am
Gentrification is a double edged sword. And to bring up the word irony again, I remember having a conversation at the bar with the bartender about the terrible effects of gentrification and the devastation it leaves for the original residents. The bar was Monkey Paw (now closed) in East Village.

… don't forget that crazy ole "sunshine tax"!
Mario June 10, 2019 at 10:54 am
The cold, hard truth is that we can't stop growth. The main issue facing San Diego is that our past leaders tried so desperately to hold onto our "sleepy beach town" identity, that planning for such growth was never front of mind. We decided to build suburbs instead of high rises, and now it's coming back to haunt us. We're now at a point where we NEED density. We NEED to grow up because there is no more room to grow out. But, because of the previous generation's short-sighted planning, single-family homes in the core now have to razed to build apartments, and native residents are being displaced.
There are, however, plenty of ways we can grow smart. There are still a number of unused or underutilized lots around the city. There are plenty of empty warehouses just waiting to be torn down and built upon. But the harsh reality is, regardless how expensive it is, people will NEVER stop wanting to live here, and it's something we should have seen coming for decades.

Horton Plaza Park up to the C Street transit mall is a filthy, mess replete with drug users, and drunks. I have lived in the area for 40 years. I know that of which I speak.
Regarding the transformation of Horton Plaza; we need good paying jobs for our people. We cannot stagnate because a few might suffer. We can help them advance, if they are willing to participate, with the new found prosperity.
Oh, and San Diego has a lot of music, theatre, art , and LGBTQ history. Anyone who has lived here any length of time knows that.

Q: Обновление версии Android Допустим у приложения, установленного на телефон, максимальная версия Android 5.1. На телефон приходит обновление Android 6.0. Как будет себя вести приложение после этого?

A: Если targetSdkVersion 23 и выше то permissions будут устанавливаться в рантайме и их можно отключить, за исключение разве что android.permission.INTERNET.
Если targetSdkVersion 22 и ниже то все permissions будут предоставлены при установке, но их можно отключить - при этом будет всплывать диалог что это не рекомендуется, т.к. это нарушит работу приложения.
Если юзер таки отключит permissions то он ССЗБ и поведение приложения неопределенно. Но Google постаралась учесть и этот случай: большинство отключенных permissions не будут вызывать краши, а просто предоставлять пустышки. Например если юзер отключил permission android.permission.READ_CONTACTS то просто будет возвращаться ноль контактов.

Picking plants for your raised bed is basically the same as with a regular garden bed, with a few differences. For example, you have to take into account the depth of your bed when choosing plants for your raised beds. If you've got a rather shallow bed, you'll be limited to annuals, herbs, and some veggies. The deeper your bed, the more options you'll have for growing plants in your raised bed.
Also, it's always a good idea to consider the needs of each one of your plants such as pH, light levels, water, the chemical composition of your soil, etc. Remember that you can take advantage of your raised beds by planting vegetables and fruits closer together than in a traditional garden bed.
It's important to place plants with similar needs in the same raised bed. You don't want to grow shade loving plants alongside sun loving plants. You can also separate different kinds of plants in the same bed with the addition of a wooden plank or similar division, but make sure there sunlight and watering needs are similar.
Smaller raised beds are appropriate for a small collection of plants. Several of these raised beds placed on a patio or deck will allow you to grow many different kinds of plants.
I had may garden boxes in and had a great garden last year, to replant this year do I need to add anything to my soil.
It never hurts to add finished compost. Particularly if your soil has settled and it doesn't look like you have as much as last year. Compost builds soil quality in general.
I added more of the entire Square Foot Gardening recipe to my bed this year — 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 coir, 1/3 compost. My bed had settled quite a bit.


No residence permit, what to do next?
If your asylum application has been rejected, everything goes differently from what you had expected or hoped. Together, we can examine which options you have got. We can also assist you in making a plan for the future.
If the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) has rejected your asylum application, you can discuss with your lawyer whether it is sensible to appeal to a court. If the court agrees with the IND, the Dutch government will oblige you to return to your country of origin. The Dutch government will ask you to leave the reception centre. This does not mean in all situations that you will end up out on the street. The Dutch government will always provide reception facilities to, for example, families with children. Ask your counsellor at the Dutch Council for Refugees about your reception facilities.
When you think about a future in your country of origin, you may have doubts and questions. You can discuss them with the Dutch Council for Refugees. It is your decision whether you wish to return and which organisation will assist you in this.
€1,800 for an adult, including a maximum amount of €300 in cash.
€2,800 for an accompanying child or an unaccompanied minor, including a maximum amount of €300 in cash.
The Dutch Council for Refugees can tell you which arrangement applies to your country. In addition to this support, the Dutch Council for Refugees can help you to apply for additional facilities at the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), for example in the form of an airline ticket and additional cash (€200 for an adult, €40 for an accompanying child).
All amounts mentioned above applied on 1 July 2017. Ask the staff member at the Dutch Council for Refugees if the amounts are still correct.
If your asylum application has been rejected, the government agency Repatriation and Departure Service (DT&V) will contact you to discuss your departure to your country of origin. This does not mean that you must leave the Netherlands immediately. If your lawyer has lodged an appeal against the decision of the IND, you will be allowed to await the court decision in the Netherlands in many cases. Important to know: If you do not choose to return voluntary but are deported forcibly, you will not receive any support from the Dutch government in the form of funds, products or services.
Life as an illegal migrant is often hard. If you are an illegal migrant, you are vulnerable. You cannot work legally, and it is hard to find a place to live. Many illegal migrants are exploited. However, you do have a right to necessary medical care. If you are stopped by the police, you may end up in prison and still be deported from the country.
Whether you will be able to settle in another country after the rejection by the Dutch government depends on your situation. The Dutch Council for Refugees can ask your lawyer or the embassy of the relevant country about your possibilities.
What can the Dutch Council for Refugees do for you?
We can assist you in your orientation towards return, so that you can make an informed choice about your future. Together we can discuss your possibilities in your fatherland with regard to work, own enterprise, education, medical care, and housing.
We can bring you into contact with other organisations in the Netherlands that assist in return. You personally choose which organisation fits best with your situation. The financial support is the same at each organisation. You can register with only one organisation at a time. This is checked by the government.
We can bring you into contact with organisations in your country of origin. These organisations give information about the situation in your fatherland and can you provide assistance and guidance upon your return. This will enable you to return safely, in a dignified manner, and with prospects for the future. This support differs by country. Ask a staff member at the Dutch Council for Refugees about the possibilities.
We can assist you in obtaining travel documents.


Newmarket Atom AE took some time from their busy hockey schedule to give back to the community at the Newmarket Food Pantry. Players, siblings, parents and coaches came together to volunteer at the food bank for the Christmas season. Great job team, they were able to donate over 270lbs to the Pantry!! Special thanks to Vicki for taking the time to explain the process and the need the food pantry serves in the community.

Molly Hatchet – Battleground (SPV/Steamhammer)
New double live exposition of the Southern Rock arts from these Floridian masters...
If, like me, you grew up at a time when Southern rock was a revered art form, you'll be equal parts perplexed and nervous about the appearance of a new live album from the venerable and venerated Molly Hatchet. In their heyday, around the time of 1979's Flirtin' With Disaster until 1983's No Guts… No Glory, Hatchet were second only to the mighty Lynyrd Skynyrd in the eyes of young British (or at least Welsh, I wasn't very well travelled in those days so I can't comment on behalf of the rest of the country) headbangers, their triple axe attack driving wild eyed air guitarists like me into frenzy with all out axetravaganzas like Boogie No More and Fall of the Peacemakers.
They went a bit wimpy after that, like most Southern rock bands, and drifted into an obscure life of State Fairs and occasional revivals of interest. Skynyrd retained their cache, but Hatchet felt their star dwindle and fall to almost nothing.
So here we are in 2019 with a new Hatchet live elpee, featuring a whopping nineteen tracks of Floridian guitar-fuelled mayhem. And here's the first cause for worry. As noted, Molly Hatchet at their apogee featured not one, not two, but three guitar heroes in the shape of – at their peak – Dave Hlubek, Steve Holland and Duane Roland. Today the band features a lone six stringer – Bobby Ingram, of whom more later – and, to my addled mind at least, it seems inconceivable that three can become one with any sort of credibility.
New vocalist Jimmy Elkins fronts the band in an assured style that'll have long term fans welcome his gruff croon like a long lost rebel son; his take on the lightly shortened version featured here of Edge of Sundown – which became something of a signature song for the band's most plaudited singer, Danny Joe Brown – is respectful to the old Gods of the genre yet still shows that the singer is just as important as the song. He acquits himself with aplomb, and, fans will be pleased that songs are delivered just the way they'll remember them, but with a fresh vitality.
Which brings us to the guitars. Bobby Ingram is nowhere hear being an original member of Molly Hatchet, yet it is he who has been the torch bearer for the band throughout its darkest days, keeping the name of Molly Hatchet alive by hook or by crook. For this he deserves respect and thanks, but – and it's a bloody great three-pronged but – his decision to deviate from the time-honoured multi-axe format so beloved of southern rock fans the World over, just does the songs no justice in the opinion of this reviewer. The set piece classics of which Hatchet fans were so enamoured just don't carry the instrumental heft of yore, leaving the recordings here sounding slightly lacking in this vital performance area. This is no slight on the musicians assembled to do the job – but rather on the absence of at least one but probably two vital cogs in the machine. Ingram plays well. Make no mistake – his solo on Devil's Canyon is superb, as is his slide work on Justice – but he can't do it all on his own.
That said, on the simpler, rollicking assault of tracks like American Pride or One Man's Pleasure there can be no complaints – this is tight, rocking barrelhouse boogie straight out of the top drawer, with keyboardist John Galvin in particular giving Ingram good support. And the rhythm section of drummer Shawn Beamer and bassist Tim Lindsey prop up the bottom end neatly, with Lindsey playing some fine four string when Ingram heads off into solo country.
So there you have. Purists might deny that this is Molly Hatchet at all, but, if you're simply glad that the band's legacy is being kept alive then there are probably enough good moment on Battleground to get the album a pass. Me? I'm somewhere in the middle, but it can't be denied that there are some genuinely pleasing moments on this album.
Battleground is out now.

The Center for Women and Families provides trauma-informed advocacy and support for individuals, families and communities affected by intimate partner violence and sexual assault. We mitigate the impact of trauma by building resiliency and reducing risk factors at all levels. We are guided by a strong grassroots feminist history, and a commitment to social and economic justice. We co-create violence free lives, families, and communities.
The Center assists all qualified individuals and their dependents, regardless of race, color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, religion, age, disability, immigration status, or language proficiency, by providing the following supportive services:
Crisis Response: The Center operates a crisis phone line for immediate safety planning and assistance 24 hours/day, 365 days/year.
Emergency Shelter: The Center has a shelter at our downtown Louisville campus where individuals and their children can reside in a safe and secure place while receiving assistance to rebuild their lives and move into permanent housing.
Sexual Assault Services: The Center provides 24-hour on-site advocacy at area hospitals to victims of sexual assault. We also have a specially equipped room at our JET campus where individuals who have been sexually assaulted and do not have other medical issues may choose to undergo a sexual assault forensic exam instead of going to a hospital emergency room. Our environment offers them the timely attention, care, privacy and support that are often sacrificed in a busy emergency room.
Advocacy and Support: The Center works with clients to address immediate and long-term emotional, physical and mental effects of the abuse they have experienced. Through case management, counseling, therapy, support, and psycho-educational groups, economic success activities, and immigrant services, The Center's advocates help clients reduce their risk factors, cultivate resiliency factors, and become engaged with their communities to lead empowered lives. CWF advocates also provide legal advocacy, which includes accompanying clients to court when they are pursuing protective orders.
Housing: The Center maintains transitional housing units for families that lack safe long-term housing options after moving from emergency shelter. CWF also supports clients in finding permanent housing and providing financial and case management assistance through our rapid rehousing programs.
Children's Services: The Center provides direct services and assistance to children who have been victimized by exposure to intimate partner violence, including safety planning and psycho-educational groups for children five years and older, tutoring and academic support, and activities to help them develop positive social interaction skills, build their self-esteem, and establish healthy relationships with caring adults. Advocates also work with parents to help them understand how exposure to violence can affect their children's emotional, intellectual and social development, and to help them develop positive parenting skills.
The Center leads several primary prevention projects that engage individuals in acting affirmatively to create safe communities. Our work includes the following projects:
Green Dot: This is an evidence-based active bystander intervention program that The Center uses to teach individuals how to identify potential incidents of violence and how to safely and effectively intervene
Awareness Activities: Each year, The Center provides community education and training to more than 10,000 people. Through community education, The Center strives to build awareness about its services, dispel common myths, increase public knowledge, enhance professional skills and provide a framework for prevention.
Professional Training: The Center's Prevention Education Team trains professionals (e.g., attorneys, physicians, police, and educators) to recognize violence where it occurs in their communities and to become "active bystanders" thereby reducing violence and preventing its reoccurrence.
Cooperative Partnerships
The Center works closely with organizations in order to provide comprehensive care for all victims of intimate partner violence and sexual assault throughout the community. With key, strategic partnerships, The Center provides the vital support our clients need by engaging community partners in a systemic prevention framework to reduce risk factors, increase protective factors and mitigate the effects of trauma. Significant collaborations include the following:
Community Shield: Reducing the Impact of Violence on Children: The Center is a core and founding partner of Community Shield and contributes leadership to this city-wide network of 40 agencies concerned with how exposure to violence places children at risk. Each agency involved delivers different services and focuses on different types of violence, but all share a common concern. Through the Community Shield, we coordinate services, increase collaboration, eliminate duplication, and accelerate community problem-solving.
The Lethality Assessment Program: The Center collaborates with the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) to reduce the number of intimate partner violence-related homicides in Louisville. LMPD Officers who respond to domestic violence calls administer a lethality screen to determine victims' risk of being killed by their abusers. Victims who "screen in" are immediately connected to our counselors for shelter and safety planning services.
Other Collaborative Partners: The Healing Place, JADAC, Family & Children's Place, Home of the Innocents, Catholic Charities, Legal Aid, La Casita, Family Scholar House, Kentucky Humane Society, the University of Louisville, Kentucky One Health, TARC, Volunteers of America, Coalition for the Homeless and Goodwill.
Help Someone
We serve all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, familial status, gender identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, language proficiency, disability, veteran status, political affiliations or beliefs.

How can we predict when a crowd is close to panic – and take steps to stop the situation getting out of hand? Or how might we schedule customer communications to prompt a purchase at just the right moment, without being too obvious or annoying?
The answer to both analytics and actionable insight. That's the science of constructing useful information from many different inputs. Rather than simply capturing raw data, these tools dig up usable insights with implications for profit and performance in all kinds of situations.

For example, if my List B has 10 people, List A should have 10 entries.
Can this be achieve using Workflow?

A: You could load these two lists up in Excel and do the comparison there.
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(<single column I value>,<entire column E range>,1,FALSE)),FALSE, TRUE)

This will check cell in Column I against the range of values in Column E, and set the value to True or False.  Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11315551/find-if-value-in-column-a-contains-value-from-column-b
You could automate this some with PowerPivot and daily refresh, otherwise, you can save the excel file and just refresh the data manually when you open the workbook.
