Q: Development standards for SQL Server supporting services? I am trying to find some development best practises for SQL Server Reporting Services, Analysis Services and Integration Services.
Does anyone have some useful links or guidance they can offer on this subject?

A: I can only talk specifically to SSIS although some of this wil be applicable to the others as well.
Save your packages as files and put them in Source Control.
Where possible use variables for things that will change from server to server or run to run.
Use configuration files to save the configuration for differnt environments.
When processing data that comes from an outside source, assume it will change format without warning (ie check to see that the data you expect in each column is the data you got!) Nothing like putting the emails in the lastname field (or as happened to us once in DTS, the social security number into the field that said how much to pay the person, sure glad we caught that before someone got paid that amount.).
Things I have seen happen include adding new columns, removing columns that are critical to your process, reaarranging the order of the columns (especially bad when the file itself does not have the column names), leaving the column titles the same but changing the data they contain (yes once I got a file where the last name data was in the column labelled First_name and vice versa), data with new values that don't have a match to values in your system (i'm think of look up type things here like medical specialties), flat out strange data such as notes in an email field, names in this format lastname - 'Willams, Jo' first_name - 'hn' (combine the two fields to get the whole name - apparently their data entry people just typed the name until they ran out of spaces and continued on in the next field no matter where they were in the name!).
Don't put uncleaned data into your database.
Always retain a copy of any files that you process or send out. Amazing how often you will need to research back.
Log errors and log records that needed cleaning, espcially if the problem in the field was such that it caused the process to fail. It is a whole lot easier to see the errors in a table than to know your 20 million record file failed because one record had an extra | in it and try to figure out which one it was.
If you do a lot of similar imports in SSIS, create a template project that has all the standard logging and data cleaning it it. It is a whole lot faster to start from a template and adjust to new mappings based onteh new file you are working with and make minor adjustoments to things specific to that file than to rewrite every SSIS package from scratch.
Store meta data. Sooner or later you will be asked, how often did it fail or how soon after the file was received did the import happen or even when was the last import. All our pacakges start and end with a task to store start and stop times in our meta data table. All failure paths include a task to mark the import as failed in our meta data. Eventually you can build a system that knows how many records to expect and fail it if the new file is significantly off. Meta data can also be used to store things like number of records which can help identify when they sent a partial file instead of the whole file you were expecting and prevent you from blowing away 300,000 sales targets they actually still want.

Brazil seizes over 400 containers in fight against illegal logging
SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Police in Brazil have seized 444 containers in an investigation into illegal logging in the country's vast Amazon, federal authorities said on Thursday, as the nation seeks to cut down on the widespread practice.
The seizures are part of an investigation taking place at ports in the Brazilian riverside city of Manaus, a key trans-shipment point for illegal timber, police said in a statement.
Police have inspected only one-fifth of the containers so far. They were found to contain logs that, if laid in a line, would stretch for 1,500 kilometres (930 miles), the police said.
About half of the logs were bound for export to the United States or Europe, they added.
The Amazon, most of which is located in Brazil, is the world's largest tropical rainforest and soaks up vast amounts of carbon dioxide.
Brazil's efforts to protect the forest, which experts say is important to curbing global warming, have been mixed in recent years. In October, the country's environment ministry said that overall Amazon deforestation fell 16 percent for the year through July 2017. However, that was the first drop in three years.

When You Say You Love Me is found on the album Measure of a Man [Bonus Tracks].
Is this just somethin' that you do?
When will this search ever end?
General CommentI totally agree /w Shorty9847. This is one of my fav. Clay Aiken songs. It's really upbeat 2. Everytime I hear it I just want 2 dance.
General CommentI'm as big of a Clay fan as the next person, but this song is obviously about a stripper.
The first paragraph describes her profession and the way he's there even though he wants true love.
The chorus is his fight within himself, wanting so bad to be loved, and questioning if she cares about him even though he means nothing.
In the third paragraph "It's not that I don't really like the attention" he is expressing that he likes what she's doing, fake attention or not, he cant help but enjoy himself. "I feel like the only man in the room.", this emphasizes her career; there are many other men in the room. "Are you really sincere, is this just something that you do?", he is still torn: He wants to believe that with him it is real and more than just the girl paying her rent.
We do not have any tags for When You Say You Love Me lyrics. Why not add your own?

Did Google just admit Apple's Siri is the future of search?
I don't know if you saw The evolution of Google search video, which they've published a few days ago. You should, it's a cool movie, portraying the history of search and Google's vision of its future. But something went wrong. One of the punchlines of the video was a story from one of the engineers, who said that next-generation search engines will be able to answer complex questions such as the following:
Television and Social media? How did my recommendation engine miss this connection?
November has been a great month for this blog. For the first time in history, I managed to get more than 1.000 unique users on two different blog posts in a single month. Which is awesome, thanks! The first post was about the TV show Dexter and its Facebook game Slice of life. The other was about Slovenian TV show Soočenje and its buzz on Twitter. Just two posts, nothing special, right? Wrong. It's really obvious, but I missed it somehow. Both posts are talking about combining television and social media, silly me! I can't believe I failed to see it, but I did, and so did my blog. Not that it really matters anymore. You know those fantastic coincidences that happen sometimes and put everything into place? This story is full of them.
The great aquarium cleaning dilemma: should you be removing or replacing water?
Everybody that owns an aquarium probably came across this decision at one point. The water is filthy and needs to be replaced. All you have is a jar. And you ask yourself: should you be emptying the aquarium first, adding new water later on, or should you be replacing filthy water with clean water? The first choice seems more rational, but sometimes you can't fully empty the aquarium (e.g. you have fish), and you need to do more runs since you're not taking water both ways. The other option seems interesting since you're efficient both ways, but at the same time you're taking back fresh water mixed in the aquarium. So, what should you do?
Facebook vs. Twitter, Part 3: The phase of unification
I started writing about Facebook and Twitter because I saw these two services as the most impressive players of the social age. I received a lot of comments about the two of them not being comparable, which I disagree. They are the biggest global Web 2.0 platforms (LinkedIn successfully went public and has a lot of users, but it's hardly a platform) and two of the ten most visited websites in the world. They are social trend-setters, both super advanced on technical and conceptual levels. They are a lot, but with the latest sets of patches, they are also becoming a lot alike.
Solid-state drives (SSD) are the biggest win in hardware ever
Guess what? My new computer has a Solid-state drive. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, that's the new super fancy high-tech computer storage unit. And I must say it's so amazing it's almost silly. Extra fast boot times, complex applications opening up in seconds, less power consumption and no humming from the hard disk. What else could you wish for in your new sexy computer? I love it, and I love it so much I had to tell the world.
The art of internal hyperlinking
Everybody wants traffic on their blog or website. Direct traffic. Referring traffic. Search traffic. All good in their own way. Direct traffic means having a strong brand. Referring traffic means having a strong network. Search traffic means having a strong team. The first two are hard to influence, but search - that's the one you can influence the most. And even if search technology has changed a lot in the past few years, with mathematical algorithms slowly getting replaced by social ones, old school search engine optimization can still make a difference.
Please help me upgrade my Twitter bot
Half a year ago I decided to make something out of my Delicious bookmarks. The magazine-style display inspired by Flipboard wasn't enough, I wanted to publish these links somewhere outside my chronolog, somewhere on Twitter. So I made a bot. It's doing quite well, posting like mad, but it's really not where I want it to be. Until now, it made about 3.000 tweets (around 500 per month), but has only 67 followers. I know my taste in content is a bit obscure, but still, only 67 followers?

You are here » Home » Home Straight » Hall of Fame Athletes » Denise Lewis
Date of Birth: 1972
Born: West Bromwich
Club: Birchfield Harriers
Coach(s): Darrell Bunn, Charles van Commenee, Dr Ekkart Arbeit
Following Mary
Every aspect of Denise Lewis' career was a path towards a glorious Sunday night in Sydney on September 24, 2000, when she won Olympic heptathlon gold. Not since Dame Mary Peters won the Olympic pentathlon title in Munich in 1972 had a British woman landed a multi-events title on the global stage. Lewis had become her natural successor, winning the Commonwealth Games in Victoria in 1994 and then earning her Olympic spurs in Atlanta in 1996 when she was third.
She was the No 1 British athlete during the late 1990s and into the new Millennium, establishing the British record of 6831 in 2000, before her retirement in 2005.
Lewis first competed at the heptathlon in 1989, and achieved a best of 5277, two years before finishing fifth at the European Juniors in Thessaloniki. It was her first taste of Championship action and within five years she was the Commonwealth champion. It was her great breakthrough. In 1994 she improved her pre-season best of 5812 to 5937 and 6069 before a superb 6325 at the Commonwealths gave her gold by just eight points from Australia Jane Fleming. It was a tremendous competition and in the end Lewis' capacity to deliver critical performances when it mattered most proved the key.
In Victoria, she improved her javelin by 5.1m and took two seconds off her 800m best to win the gold medal. In 1996, she was the only British woman to win a medal from athletics at the Olympic Games in Atlanta and it proved to be superb grounding as she scored 6489 points as Ghada Shouaa, of Syria, won with 6780 with Bulgarian Natalya Sazanovich second in 6563.
She was crowned the British Female athlete of the year after a summer where she set British records at Götzis with 6645 before increasing that to 6736 (also a Commonwealth record) in 1997, a year where she was second at the World Championships in Athens with 6654 as Germany's Sabine Braun won with 6739.
Brought up her mother in Wolverhampton, Lewis had long been a member of Birchfield Harriers in Birmingham. She was very much a club girl at heart, she would be there to offer encouragement and she never forgot her roots on her way to her crowning glory in Sydney. In 1998, she missed weeks of the summer with injury, but was fit in time for the major events and achieved an impressive double with gold at the European Championships in Budapest and Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur. But in 1999, she could not take that one step up from Athens, though remained upbeat after winning her second successive World Championship silver, this time behind French star Eunice Barber, following another difficult year with injuries.
Her performance in Seville was impressive enough, where she achieved 6724, just 12 points short of her Commonwealth record, including personal bests in the high jump (1.87m) and three times in the shot (15.41m, 15.95m and 16.12m). But Barber had just too much and won with 6861.
Once the championships were over, she wanted to ensure she would be totally ready for the Olympics in 13 months time and she had an operation on her right calf. Yet though she then had a re-occurrence of a long-term shoulder injury in the build up to the Games, she overcame any pain on a superb weekend in Talence, France, where she added 95 points to her British and Commonwealth mark. Her total of 6831 was from: 100mh 13.13 (pb by 0.05), HJ 1.84 (season's best), SP 15.07, 200m 24.01w (pb), LJ 6.69 (pb), JT 49.42 (pb) and 800m 2:12.20 (pb). It was perfect preparation to Sydney, though he body did its best to hinder that.
Hobbling Heroine
With a bandage at the bottom of her left leg to keep at bay an Achilles and calf injury, Lewis hobbled her way to Olympic Games gold. When her Achilles injury returned, there remained a doubt whether she would even finish the Heptathlon, but here the sport realised what she was made of. The pain was physically etched across her face and there remains no greater picture from that weekend of the moment she had crossed the line in the 800m. Had she won gold? As the news slowly filtered through on the giant scoreboard that she had, she just stood still, almost unable to move, and just waved her arms in the air in total delight. Her body could take no more.
She had scored 6584, beating Russian Yelena Prokhorova by 53 points with Sazanovich, who was second in Atlanta, third with 6527. It was stirring stuff. She eventually made her way to the stands where she celebrated in the arms of her mother after a series of outstanding performances. Inspired by her Dutch coach Charles Van Commenee, her individual marks of 13.23 (100mh), 1.75 (HJ), 15.55 (shot), 24.34 (200m), 6.48 (LJ), 50.19 (JT), 2:16.83 (800m) propelled to celebrity status. She appeared everywhere, including being a guest on Parkinson.
Awarded the MBE in 1999, it was advanced to an OBE in 2001 where she pulled out of the World Championships in Edmonton just days before the event began. It later emerged she was pregnant and her daughter Lauryn, to her and partner Patrick Stevens, a Belgian sprinter, was born in April 2002. Lewis and Van Commenee split in July 2002 and it sparked the most controversial period of her career.
She teamed up with Frank Dick, the former head coach of British athletics, who brought in Dr Ekkart Arbeit, the East German technical coach who was linked to the systematic doping of athletes in the 1970s. It turned Denise Lewis into a media circus, never more so than in July 2003 when she competed in the European Cup's Combined Events in Tallin, Estonia. Arbeit was there, as Lewis tackled her first heptathlon since winning Olympic gold. She scored an excellent 6282 points for second place, but virtually her every move - and his - was caught on camera. She progressed to finish fifth at the World Championships in Paris but the defence of her Olympic title ended in disappointment when she dropped out after a long jump of 5.89m.
She retired in June 2005, and in 2006, gave birth to her second child, Ryan. Lewis works regularly for local television in her native Midlands, along with other television roles such as the BBC's reality show Strictly Come Dancing, remaining one of the most popular names British athletics has ever had.

COVID-19: Labour ministry announces additional benefits under EPFO, ESIC schemes
These benefits include pension for dependents of insured persons with Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) who died due to COVID-19 and hike in maximum sum assured under the group insurance scheme Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme (EDLI), run by Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), to Rs 7 lakh from Rs 6 lakh.
Enhanced social security is sought to be provided to the workers without any additional cost to the employer, it added.
The Ministry of Labour and Employment on Sunday announced additional benefits for workers through social securities schemes run by the EPFO and the ESIC amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The Ministry of Labour and Employment has announced additional benefits for workers through ESIC and EPFO schemes to address the fear and anxiety of workers about wellbeing of their family members due to increase in incidences of death due to COVID-19 pandemic," a ministry statement said.
Currently, for the insured persons (IPs) under the ESIC, after death or disablement of the IP due to employment injury, a pension equivalent to 90 per cent of average daily wage drawn by the worker is available to the spouse and widowed mother for life long and for children till they attain the age of 25 years.
For the female child, the benefit is available till her marriage.
To support the families of IPs under the ESIC scheme, it has been decided that, all dependent family members of IPs who have been registered in the online portal of the ESIC prior to their diagnosis of COVID disease and subsequent death due to the disease, will be entitled to receive the same benefits and in the same scale as received by the dependents of insured persons who die as a result of employment injury, subject to two conditions, it explained.
First condition is that the IP must have been registered on the ESIC online portal at least three months prior to the diagnosis of COVID disease resulting in death.
Secondly, the IP must have been employed for wages and contributions for at least 78 days should have been paid or payable in respect of deceased IP during a period of one year immediately preceding the diagnosis of COVID disease resulting in death.
The IPs, who fulfil the eligibility conditions, and have died due to COVID disease, their dependants will be entitled to receive monthly payment at the rate of 90 per cent of average daily wages of the insured person during their life.
The scheme will be effective for a period of two years from March 24, 2020.
Under the EPFO's Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) scheme, all surviving dependent family members of the members of this scheme are eligible to avail benefits of EDLI in case of death in harness of the member.
At present under this scheme, the benefits extended in case of death of a worker are no requirement of minimum service for payment of Gratuity, family pension is paid as per provisions under EPF & MP Act, sickness benefit of 70 per cent of wages for 91 days in a year is paid in the event of worker falling sick and not attending office.
A notification issued by the ministry has made certain amendments in the scheme.
Firstly, amount of maximum benefit has been increased from 6 lakh to 7 lakh to the family members of deceased employee.
Secondly, the minimum assurance benefit of Rs 2.5 lakh to eligible family members of deceased employees who was a member for a continuous period of 12 months in one or more establishments preceding his death in place of existing provision of continuous employment in the same establishment for 12 months.
It will benefit contractual/casual labourers were losing out on benefits due to condition of continuous one year in one establishment, the ministry explained.
The ministry has also restored provision of minimum 2.5 lakh compensation retrospectively, i.e., from 15th February 2020.
In coming three years, the actuary has estimated that eligible family members will get an additional benefit of Rs 2,185 crore from EDLI fund in the years 2021-22 to 2023-24.
The number of claims on account of death under the scheme has been estimated to be about 50,000 families per year including increase in claims taking into account estimated death of about 10,000 workers, which may occur due to Covid, it said.
These welfare measures will provide the much needed support to the families of workers who have died due to the COVID-19 disease and will protect them from financial hardships in these challenging times of pandemic, it said.

Building an enterprise where millennials flourish
The changing dynamics of 'right work culture' in hybrid-remote ways of working


Beinvenido a nuestra Cantina! Los Vida Mexican Bar and Restaurant has now arrived at 419 Pacific Highway, Crows Nest. One of a trio of fabulous new Mexican Bar Restaurants opened by co-owners Mark Dopson (former ex Ruby L'otel, Sumo salad director) and Octavio Gomez-Haro (marketing leader, importer of Mezcal and luxury goods). This new venue celebrates both the traditional and contemporary aspects of Mexico in a totally cool hip style with an emphasis on healthy authentic Mexican cuisine. Not forgetting a bar list featuring kick-arse Mezcals, Tequilas, Daiquiris and Margaritas.
Stepping through the entrance door the first thing to catch your eye is the Day of the Dead inspired artwork in the vein of La Calavera Cantrina. As it was the launch party, we were instantly offered a drink from a selection wine, daiquiris and imported beers.
The visual feast continues through to the atrium core of the three level restaurant and bar. Splashes of colour highlight the funky feature wall, full of mexican curios, retro-style photographs, colourful terracotta pots with cherry red chilli plants and cactus. Hanging lights with warm exposed bulbs add to the dynamic and stimulating interior.
The most notable outstanding feature is the ceiling mural reaching high above the three levels, designed by Adam Ziino. His take on a mexican version of Michelangelos Cistine Chapel is the perfect conversation starter and brings warmth and colour to the bold spacious interior.
To the right on the lower level is the main bar, rustic in design with exposed timber beams overhead, long green marbled granite top and mosaic inlays reflecting the traditional mexicano style. Bar Managers Rodrigo Vego and Ulysses Svoronos have created a simple but tantalising bar menu that accentuates the feisty flavours you would expect in a Mexican bar. They boast on having the largest boutique Mezcal and Tequila list so you will have plenty of poisons to indulge in.
Hahn and Super Dry is available on tap along with other imported beers and ciders including Cerveza Pacifico Clara, better known as Pacifico, (Mexican Pilsener - style lager). If you are a wine lover, you haven't been forgotten with a selection of good Australian drops from WA, SA and NSW.
The party was getting fired up as the crowd engulfed the venue. Everyone was enjoying the lively atmosphere, delicious drinks and the start of rounds of mouthwatering tasty bites.
Los Vida also features more laid back upper levels either side of the atrium, where there is also a bar. You can sit back and have a chat or enjoy the view down through the atrium.
Chef Pablo Galindo Vargas has tailored his menu with a modern take on Oaxacan cuisine. This is no Tex Mex restaurant so you won't be finding an American style burger here. The menu is based on the staples of corn, beans, chilli peppers with a variety of other fresh ingredients covering regional flavours with meats to seafood. Mexican street style bar snacks, ceviches, fresh salads, traditional mains such as enchiladas, beef briskets and a few unusual dishes like hibiscus flower Flautas (crispy fried hibiscus flower, tasty cheese wrapped in crunchy corn tortillas, salsa verde and queso fresco). I would definitely be back to explore the menu but for now was excited to try the party bites.
First up were deliciously crunchy corn chips with fresh guacaomole dip sprinkled with what looked like pomegranate seeds.
The kitchen was pumping out little tasty zest filled tortillas filled with tuna and scallop cerviche. These little tempters packed a lip smacking punch of zesty citrus and spices perfect to wash down with a gulp of chilled beer.
Followed by rounds of shredded chicken, braised pork and chipotle prawn tacos with my winning favourite of the night - the Yacutan Fish (Barramundi) Taco.
After a few more Margaritas and more food we had to conclude that the launch of Los Vida Crows Nest was a great success and just what the area needs.
Open 7 days for lunch and dinner, you should also keep in mind there is private function space catering for up to 50 people. An ideal fun venue for your next celebration. I feel pretty sure this bar will be a hit with the locals and inner city dwellers alike, so check it out soon.
What a fascinating building! You're right Sea, it would be a good conversation starter. Food looks delicious too.


Resident Evil 2 Preorder bonus: looks like you get a free digital copy too?
I saw the steelbook offer was removed and read on another post it's due to lack of steelbooks, but now it has a new offer that sounds like you get a digital copy of the game free for preordering. Is that right?
Re: Resident Evil 2 Preorder bonus: looks like you get a free digital copy too?
Ok but the image is the 2 handguns and it's the same offer that everyone else has.

Délkelet-Európa Európa egyik régiója. Területébe Szlovéniát csak ritkán veszik bele, Romániát azonban már gyakrabban beleértik. A régió teljes területe Szlovénia és Románia nélkül 550 000 km², népessége 53 millió fő.

A tágabb értelemben vett Dél-Európa magában foglalja Délkelet-Európát is.

Habár Délkelet-Európa nagy része a Balkán-félszigeten fekszik, nem teljesen azonos vele: a félsziget területén kívül hozzátartozik még Görögország szigetvilága, Szerbia és Horvátország északi, a Száva–Duna-vonaltól északra eső részei, bizonyos értelemben a Ciprusi Köztársaság területe, illetve Törökország európai részei. A félsziget területéből azonban nem tartozik hozzá a romániai Dobrudzsa.

Délkelet-Európa ugyancsak nem azonosítható teljesen a Balkán térséggel sem. A Balkán történelmi-kulturális fogalom, amely földrajzilag nagyrészt valóban a Balkán-félszigetet jelenti, de a romániai Regát területét szintén a Balkánhoz tartozónak tekintik.

Országok

A következő országok tartoznak Délkelet-Európához:

  Albánia
  Bosznia-Hercegovina
  Bulgária
  Észak-Macedónia
  Görögország
  Koszovó – vitatott státuszú terület, 2008-ban kiáltotta ki a függetlenségét Szerbiától, jelenleg 108 ENSZ-tagállam ismeri el.
  Montenegró
  Szerbia

Esetenként Délkelet-Európához sorolják a következő országokat vagy egyes területeiket is :
  Ciprusi Köztársaság – a Ciprus szigetén található ország az Európai Unió tagja, így ebben a tekintetben Délkelet-Európa része. Mivel a sziget természetföldrajzi tekintetben Ázsiához tartozik, ezért ebben a tekintetben maga az ország is.
  – el nem ismert állam Ciprus szigetének északi felén, nemzetközi jog szerint a Ciprusi Köztársaság része.
  Horvátország – elsősorban a partvidéki területei tartoznak Délkelet-Európához, az északi része földrajzilag Közép-Európához sorolható, kulturális értelemben is inkább közép-európai országnak szokták tekinteni.
  Románia – hol Délkelet-Európához, hol Közép-Európához sorolják. Természetföldrajzilag leginkább Dobrudzsa tartozik Délkelet-Európához. A mai romániai külpolitika és közfelfogás szerint azonban az ország földrajzilag inkább Közép-Európa részét alkotja.
  Szlovénia – az országot általában Közép-Európa részének tekintik, csak nagyon ritkán veszik Délkelet-Európához.
  Törökország területének 3%-a – Trákia keleti része, valamint Gökçeada és Bozcaada szigetei – természetföldrajzi értelemben Délkelet-Európához tartozik, míg a fennmaradó része Kis-Ázsiában Anatólia található.
  – az Egyesült Királyság szuverén katonai támaszpontjai Ciprus szigetén.

Egyes felosztások szerint tágabb értelemben (történelmi szempontok alapján) Délkelet-Európához sorolható a földrajzilag kelet-európai  is.

Basically, Nothing in the Bay Area is Affordable to Someone Making $64,000
Devin KatayamaEricka Cruz Guevarra
Oakland, and the Bay Area in general, is one of the areas hit hardest by California's housing shortage. (Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
We all know it's expensive to live in the Bay Area. But just how unaffordable is it? Reporters with the Mercury News and the East Bay Times looked at how high rents and mortgages have climbed since 2012, and it will blow your mind. People making $100,000 can afford to live in just 28 percent of Bay Area neighborhoods. And if you're making less than $64,000, you basically have no options.
Guest: Katy Murphy, Bay Area News Group government reporter
What findings surprised her the most:
"There was nowhere last year where you could afford the median rent for an apartment on anything less than $64,000 a year… Even if you had two people working minimum wage jobs that paid $15 an hour – which is the minimum wage in some places – you still would not make enough to afford the median rent for an apartment anywhere in the 10 county Bay Area."

How things have changed since 2012, when house prices had dropped post-recession:
"If you're making $100,000 in today's wages back in 2012, you could afford to live in 70 percent of the zip codes in the Bay Area, if you are a renter… If you look at Redwood City where, in 2012 you could afford a mortgage payment on a home there on less than $90,000. And now, or as of last year, you would have needed over $200,000 to be able to afford, basically the same home… that's down payment aside. That's just the mortgage payment."
How this is playing out around the Bay Area:
"We had 13 zip codes in Oakland that we looked at... the cheapest place to rent in Oakland was about $2,400 a month last year. Oakland is one of the places that have seen the biggest run ups in rents."
Traffic in Redwood City, where the income needed to afford a mortgage payment on a home has risen from $90,000 per year in 2012 to over $200,000 in 2018. (James Tensuan/KQED)
On how this affects families in particular:
"I was also thinking about: well, what about single parents? You know, I mean it's almost like these numbers have gotten so high that you need two incomes… to be able to buy anything. So what happens to people who have children, but also just have one income?"

"We know that children thrive when their parents can earn a living and meet the basic needs of their family, and we can celebrate the fact that more and more Kentucky parents are able to do so," he added.
Numbers also improved for Kentuckians of color. In 2016, 30.2 percent of African Americans and 30.6 percent of Hispanic or Latinos lived under the poverty level. Those numbers each improved by around 5 percentage points for 2017.
The definition of the poverty level depends on the household size. A family of four making less than $24,858 falls is deemed impoverished.
Issues still need to be addressed in order for the poverty rate to continue its decline in Kentucky, according to Jason Bailey, Executive Director of the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy.
Kentucky's per-capita personal income was $39,393 last year, ranking 47th in the country, Workers in the state have seen their paychecks grow more than 12 percentage points slower than the national average, according to data released earlier this week from the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. That study also showed that Kentucky has outperformed four of its seven neighboring states in growth of jobs, population and wages.
Nationally, the poverty rate has fallen 2.5 percentage points in a three-year span from 14.8 percent to 12.3 percent. There were 39.7 million people in poverty last year in the U.S., according to the census data.
However, the improvements over the last few years are fragile and "vulnerable to a long-overdue economic downturn," the New York Times reported.
"If this is the best we can do, it isn't good," Timothy Smeeding, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who studies poverty and economic mobility told the Times.
West Virginia, Mississippi, Louisiana and New Mexico have the highest poverty rates — all above 18 percent.


Pumpkin carving is something I only really started doing a few years ago when I was in Montréal, and I've done it every year since then. Usually, I buy whatever pumpkin is left in the shop close to Halloween, but this year I learned about a pumpkin patch in Co. Meath where you can pick your own. I had no idea there was a pumpkin patch in Ireland, so once I knew it was out there, I had to go and see it.
Tip: Alright Pumpkin is about a 20 minute drive from Navan, and about an hour from Dublin. No matter where you're coming from you will need a car to get there.
Alright Pumpkin has more than just the pumpkin patch. The pumpkins draw us in, but it's the smaller details and activities that keep us there for longer. Take a walk through the maze, climb through all of their obstacles, pick your pumpkin, buy some freshly picked corn on the cob (2 for €1!), dig up some potatoes to take home (€3 for a 2.5kg bag), watch a carving demonstration to find out the best way to carve and keep your pumpkin fresh, find out about recipes to make with the leftover insides, and even stop off for a tea or a coffee while you warm up before you head on your way. Now that's a lot of stuff!
In all, we probably spent the best part of an hour because we took time for each activity. I wouldn't expect many people to stay much longer than that, and depending on what you're interested in, you could come and go in 10 minutes if that's what you prefer! That being said, it's definitely worth it to stay and enjoy everything they have on offer.
You have two options for getting to the patch. Walk in a straight line and reach it in under 60 seconds, or take a trip through the magical maze and see if you make it to the other side. We went for the maze.
This is really so much fun, it's not actually difficult so you don't need to worry about kids (or yourself) getting lost. The maze will guide you through to the different obstacles that will be in your way, bring you past a spooky door (it's up to you to decide if you're brave enough to see what's on the other side), and other really fun and interactive hurdles.
Not what I expected to be getting up to!
Once you've bravely and heroicly made it through the maze, you'll get to the pumpkin patch. It's an amazing sight to see the orange, green and white (yes! even white!) pumpkins dotted all over the field and it's difficult to decide what one you want to take home.
There are wheelbarrows on hand as well as people who work at the patch to help you shift your pumpkins from the field to your car. When you've chosen the one you want, you bring it back to where you entered and take it to the table with 3 different sized holes carved into it. If your pumpkin fits in the small hole, it's €5, the medium is €10, and the large is €15. Any bigger and you'll have to talk to them there to find out your price!
It's a proud moment when you make your selection!
Tip: it gets very muddy and very slippy, wellies are 100% recommended if you're visiting.
There are all sorts of shapes and sizes and it's really so much fun deciding on your pumpkin.
If you arrive at the right time, then you could get the chance to watch a carving demonstration. This is a great opportunity to learn about the history of pumpkin carving (which of course makes it's way back to Ireland – it all started with turnips), find out the best way to preserve your pumpkin when it's carved, and also see the carving in action.
He makes it all look very easy, we definitely picked up some tips to try when we carve our own pumpkin.
Going to pick our own pumpkin was a brilliant decision, and we loved every minute of it. Alright Pumpkin have created a really fun experience here, and a lot of thought has gone into every detail of the patch. We came away with a pumpkin, two cobs of corn, and a bag of potatoes, so we felt we did quite well for ourselves!
I really would recommend this to anyone, especially if you have kids. My only word of warning is it will be very slippy and muddy, so just be prepared for that.
Opening Hours 2017: Every weekend (Saturday and Sunday) in October from 11am – 4pm and from the 28th – 31st – so long as they don't run out of pumpkins!
Looking to get into the Halloween spirit? Here's how I planned for Halloween last year!
All reviews on Byrnewithme are completely independent. We found out about the patch online and our pumpkin, corn and potatoes were all paid for by us.

The effort to prompt some input into the 2018 Ethics Alarms Awards will obviously continue for another day or two, as my promise to "be posting these periodically during the day and evening" was foiled by intervening priorities yesterday. There are two polls this time (here was the first, still open), and again, please don't hesitate to expand on your votes.
1. Like most of the journalism establishment here, only less subtle about it. Der Spiegel reporter Claas Relotius was exposed this month to be that publication's version of Stephen Glass, a star journalist who just made stuff up. He, however, made stuff up to play to anti-Trump sentiments abroad, writing multiple stories to show how bigoted and backward the town of Fergus Falls, Minnesota was, explaining why it went for President Trump in the 2106 election.
The New York Times story on the hoax shows how Relotius could have accomplished the same mission using just spin, slanted framing and old fashioned bias. Read the thing: it just drips with thinly veiled contempt for Trump voters, and the President, of course. "The election results speak for themselves," says the Times, knowing how the typical times reader will take that. The Times reporters reveal that the town isn't full of racist yahoos as if that is news in itself.
The trivial exchange triggered more Trump-bashing and a ridiculous amount of negative commentary. This approaches blind hate at a pathological level. The focus of the attacks were that the President's "marginal" line supposedly destroyed the girl's belief in Santa Clause. Ugh.
She later said that she had no idea what "marginal" meant. We all know Trump can't talk: this is Julie Principle territory. The only way one assumes that his intent was to shatter the girl's innocent faith is if one thinks the President is a monster…which is what the news media wants the public to think.
Collman also said that what the Evil Scrooge Trump said didn't cause her not to believe in Santa, though this could be called moral luck.
Even at seven, a personal exchange with the President of the United States would have meant so much more to me than any dents in my Santa Claus beliefs that I wouldn't have given it a second thought. Of course, when I was seven it was the norm that all citizens respected and honored the President, because that was whom our democracy chose to lead us.
A mob surrounded ICE's office in Southwest Portland June 19. They barricaded the exits and blocked the driveway. They sent "guards" to patrol the doors, trapping workers inside. At night they laid on the street, stopping traffic at a critical junction near a hospital. Police stayed away. "At this time I am denying your request for additional resources," the Portland Police Bureau's deputy chief, Robert Day, wrote to federal officers pleading for help. Hours later, the remaining ICE workers were finally evacuated by a small federal police team. The facility shut down for more than a week. Signs called ICE employees "Nazis" and "white supremacists." Others accused them of running a "concentration camp," and demanded open borders and prosecution of ICE agents. Along a wall, vandals wrote the names of ICE staff, encouraging others to publish their private information online.
How many readers of Ethics Alarms saw broadcast news accounts of this incident and the Portland mayor's conduct? It is the tendency to set out to bury and hide the worst examples of progressive and resistance excess that is the smokiest of smoking guns showing the degree to which journalists are actively attempting to indoctrinate and mislead rather than inform.
Do the citizens of Portland really condone this?
The bizarre episode in Portland, Oregon, in which two bakery employees were fired for following store policy because their doing so upset a black activist, and the establishment is so self-righteously "woke" that her demands were deemed sufficient to make injustice mandatory, has received almost no national publicity. I presume this is because it illustrates the worst of progressive logic, group preference, and hubris to a nauseating extent. Almost as awful as the Back to Eden bakery's mistreatment of its employees are the addled statements of its owners, which betray an increasingly common (I wish I could write "rare") certitude of a standard-issue social justice warrior's virtue, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Here is johnburger2013's fascinating analysis of this mess in his Comment of the Day on the post,When Businesses Have No Principles, No Courage, And The Community Likes It That Way….
This story is fascinating on so many levels, from all angles: legal, business practices, ethics, public relations damage control, and a whole host of other areas. Thankfully, geometry and nationalized medical care were spared.
From the outset, it seems kind of dumb to deny a patron pastry at 9:06 p.m. because of a rigid application of store hours. This is a bakery and the business of a bakery is sell baked goods. Any sale of a baked good is a good sale, no?
Yet, if the bakery declares the store hours, the employees should not necessarily be punished for enforcing that policy. Otherwise, you would have people coming and going at all hours and the employees would have to stay beyond their shifts, which may result in hardships on them and others the employees depend on. For instance, if a child is at daycare, there may be an additional fee payable to the daycare because the employee arrived late to pick up the child. Termination of the employees for enforcing the store's hours seems cruel, harsh, and unfair to the employees.
How this situation spiraled out of control is truly amazing. At first, I thought the fired employees posted about it; then, I learned the Lillian, the Perpetually Aggrieved, posted videos she took from outside the bakery on her Facebook feed, which then went viral. Many Facebookers banded together in a quasi-online lynch mob and filled the bakery's Facebook page with love letters and messages.
The two statements, taken together are a brilliant lesson in multiculturalism, diversity, virtue signaling, damage control failures, capitulation to The Mob, sacrificing someone for the Greater Good, and the ranking order of privilege and standing in the Grievance Industry.
When Businesses Have No Principles, No Courage, And The Community Likes It That Way….
This, by rights, should be a Kaboom!, but after the Starbucks fiasco, my head is no longer surprised enough by outrageous race-bullying and craven corporations to explode. It is a terrible story, however. I don't advocate boycotts, but this bakery deserves to be picketed.
I'm not even going to comment on that, except to recommend that the guy run onto the field of an NFL game and kneel.
Oh, I almost forgot the beauty part: the bakery fired the two employees. For following the store's policies. For closing the store on time. For not giving special dispensation to a woman demanding entry because she was black.
According to its own surveillance video, a black woman named "Lillian", who is known as a "professional equity activist"—that is, a social justice predator who was probably lying in wait until the store closed to provoke this controversy— entered at 9:06 p.m….after the bakery's closing time, after the Catch 22-doomed employees turned off the "OPEN" sign. Two white women tried to enter the bakery two minutes before "Lillian, "and were properly informed that the business was closed for the night. Ah, but they had no race card to play. "Lillian" left the store briefly and began recording video. Of course she did.
In other words, they should recognize that society has handed blacks and the race-grievance mob the weapons to destroy them, and behave accordingly. Is there any other interpretation? The bakery also said that the way the employees went about denying the woman service, "lacked sensitivity and understanding of the racial implications at work" and that "this is more about how a black woman was made to feel." Not a white woman, now or just a woman. How they choose to feel would be their own problem. A black woman, however, felt that the rules should be bent for her, and then felt that two employees trying to do their jobs had to be sacrificed.
I really hate this story, and all stories like it. I hope you do too.
Well, that should settle it, then! Why burden these narrow-minded and easily-triggered products of the victim culture with facts, knowledge and perspective?


I have another question after reding this post from you LVD its not clear reading using the translator but this means that the zx evolution supports ULA+ ?. I just have to use the beta firmware.
Very nice after testing some ULA+ software i can get new games like mojon twins that are made for ULA+ running very nice but old games converted to ULA+ just load the palette and drops me into zx basic.
soviet wrote: old games converted to ULA+ just load the palette and drops me into zx basic.
Can you supply some files or links to those games?

Cire Trudon draws inspiration from ancient Egypt for its newest trio of festive candles. The assortment of scents includes a traditional incense, papyrus, and candied-firewood from the world's oldest candlemakers that used to craft candles which illuminated Versailles. Each scent alludes to iconic Egyptian motifs, including the Giza pyramids, the ancient deity Amun, and the Philae Island on the Nile, adding a story to each of its aromas. To complete the effect, the candles are packaged in handcrafted boxes adorned with hieroglyphs.

The British Labor government's effort to remake the criminal justice system in its pending Criminal Justice Bill is sparking demands for an ever tougher approach to juvenile crime. On December 17, Tory Member of Parliament Graham Allen one-upped everybody by calling for the drug testing of children as young as 10 by police.
The Labor bill calls for lowering the age of testing from 18 to 14. Only children suspected for other crimes would be arrested. But 14 isn't nearly young enough, said Allen, who serves on the parliamentary committee that began examining the bill this week.
In addition to lowering the age of drug testing, the bill has also come under attack for its proposals to allow double jeopardy prosecutions and to allow prosecutors to reveal the criminal convictions of defendants at trial—both reversals of longstanding British common law.

Canada Goose Parka The Canadian playwright, born in Edmonton and educated in Vancouver (and London), is now directing his 2015 play The Shoplifters for the Arts Club. The production stars Patti Allan as Alma, a career shoplifter; Agnes Tong as her sidekick; Raugi Yu as a security guard; and Dean Paul Gibson as his mentor. We talked to the 66 year old Panych, who lives in Toronto, about The Shoplifters Canada Goose Parka.


Corporate governance refers to the processes and structure by which the business and affairs of the Company are directed and managed. The Board recognises that sound corporate governance is an essential part of good business practices and corporate accountability. Accordingly, the Company has adopted measures and practices set out in the Code of Corporate Governance 2012 ("2012 Code").
Deviations from the 2012 Code, if any, are explained in the report below.
The Board is responsible for setting the Group's strategic vision, direction and long-term goals, management and internal control, approval of major projects and significant financing matters, and approval of the release of the quarterly reports. The Board works closely with the management. All Directors make objective decisions in the fiduciary interests of the Company.
The Board has delegated certain functions to various Board committees, namely the Audit Committee ("AC"), the Nominating Committee ("NC") and the Remuneration Committee ("RC"). Each of the Committees has the authority to examine particular issues and report to the Board with their recommendations. The ultimate responsibility lies with the Board.
Matters that are reserved for the Board include broad policy decisions, material acquisitions and disposals of assets, approval of the nomination of Directors, announceable matters to the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited ("SGX-ST"), proposal of dividends, approval of Directors' Report and Statement by Directors and audited financial statements, corporate or financial restructuring and other significant corporate actions. In lieu of physical meetings, written resolutions were also circulated for approval by the Directors.
Board approval has to be sought for transactions not in the ordinary course of business if any such transaction exceeds $2.0M in value. To facilitate operational efficiency, Board approval would not be required for day-to-day decisions and matters that are operational in nature, even though such single transaction may exceed $2.0M in value.
The Company, assisted by the corporate secretarial firm, Tricor Evatthouse Corporate Services, provides the Board with regular updates of the latest governance and listing policies. The Board also receives relevant training, if required, on changes in the business environment, relevant new laws, regulations and changing commercial risk. The Board has approved an annual training budget for each Director to attend relevant training and professional development programs. During the year, the Board was briefed on the latest changes to the Listing Manual requirements , developments in accounting by the external auditor, updates on internal controls from the internal auditor and business development from the Chief Executive Officer.
Any newly appointed Director will be given briefings on the business activities of the Group, its strategic directions, governance practices and Director's duties and obligations. They will be given the opportunity to visit the Group's operational facilities to gain a better understanding of the Group's business operations. Mr Foo Maw Shen was appointed to the Board on 31 July 2014. He was briefed by the Chief Executive Officer on the Group's activities.
The Board meets at least on a quarterly basis to coincide with the announcement of the Group's quarterly results. Where circumstances require, the Board will arrange for telephonic and videoconference meetings. Non-executive Directors are encouraged to meet regularly without management present. In 2014, the non-executive Directors met without management before half year results meeting.
# Resigned on 30 April 2014.

2004 Portugal Home European Championship Football Shirt Rui Costa #10 (XL)
Condition: 9/10 Superb. Light wear to patches
Size: Adult's Extra Large
Manufacturer: Nike
Colour: Red, gold & green trim
Seasons: 2004
Player: Rui Costa
Patches: Euro 2004 / Fair Play / Match details
Official Nike Portugal home football shirt from the Euro 2004 international tournament. Complete with Rui Costa #10 on the front and back of the shirt in official lettering. Euro 2004 & UEFA Fair Play patches on the sleeves. Match details vs England, 24th June 2004.
Condition of this original football jersey is 9/10 - Superb. Light wear to patches.
A classic player and a great piece of football memorabilia.
Rui Costa was a member of Portugal's most consistent years at senior level as the team reached the quarter-finals of Euro 1996, the semi-finals of Euro 2000, and the final of Euro 2004.
Costa was especially instrumental in helping Portugal reach the 2004 final on home soil, scoring a screamer of a goal at his beloved Estádio da Luz against England in the quarter-final match, and the sight of a distraught Rui Costa at the end of the heart-breaking 1–0 defeat to Greece is one of the enduring images of the tournament.
Costa also took part in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea scoring Portugal's winning goal in their 4–0 win over Poland. The only time in his career that Costa was sent off was in an international game against Germany.
Despite being principally a provider, Costa chipped in with a highly impressive 26 goals in 94 games.
