Women Poised to Effectively Lead in Matrix Work Environments, Hay Group Research Finds
Overall, Competencies Required to Successfully Lead Matrix Teams are in Short Supply
March 27, 2012 09:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Top-ranking women demonstrate a higher proficiency than their male counterparts in a number of the key skills required to lead in a matrix work environment, according to new emotional and social intelligence research from Hay Group, the global management consultancy.
In a series of in-depth interviews with dozens of executives and managers with experience leading matrix teams, Hay Group determined that leadership traits like empathy, conflict-management, self-awareness and influence were consistently tied to successful business outcomes within matrixed organizations. A subsequent review of data from Hay Group's Emotional and Social Competency Inventory—a behavioral database that includes information on the emotional intelligence of more than 17,000 individuals worldwide—found these skills to be more prevalent in executive-level women in general management roles, as compared to their male peers:
Empathy was found to be a strength for 33 percent of women, compared to just 15 percent of men.
Conflict management was seen as a strength in 51 percent of women, as opposed to 29 percent of men.
Influence was cited as a strength for 32 percent of women, compared to 21 percent of men.
Self-awareness was strongly evident in 19 percent of women, but just four percent of men.
"Hay Group research has found that high levels of emotional intelligence are critical in matrix work environments, where individuals are required to lead by influence, rather than lead through direct authority," said Ruth Malloy, global managing director for leadership and talent at Hay Group. "Women often face barriers throughout their careers that require them to develop these skills to excel and advance in their organizations, in effect better preparing them for the challenges and complexities of leading in a matrix."
Among women and men below the executive level, gender disparities were less pronounced. However, the competencies required to effectively lead in a matrix environment proved to be scarce across Hay Group's database:
Fewer than one quarter (22 percent) demonstrated a strong sense of empathy.
Less than one third (31 percent) of individuals were found to hold strong conflict-management skills.
Only 20 percent were found to have a strong sense of influence.
Just nine percent of employees exhibit a strong sense of self-awareness.
"In traditional, hierarchical organizations, skills associated with individual achievement are required to lead, so it is no surprise that many of today's leaders still need to develop and hone their more collaborative traits," said Malloy. "As organizations become more global and the matrix environment becomes more common, their success will hinge on their leaders' ability to leverage collaborative approaches. Organizations can help managers develop these skills by assisting them in understanding their own leadership styles, seeing how they mesh with the requirements of matrix leadership, and adapting them to achieve successful business outcomes within the matrix environment."

About Hay Group's Emotional and Social Competency Inventory
In partnership with emotional intelligence pioneers Daniel Goleman and Dr. Richard Boyatzis, Hay Group developed the Emotional and Social Competency Inventory (ESCI), a unique online survey tool designed to help organizations assess and develop emotional and social intelligence in their leaders and key individual contributors consistently and at an affordable cost. The ESCI measures the demonstration of individuals' behaviors, through their perceptions and those of their raters, making it distinct from measures of emotional intelligence that assess ability or personality preferences.
Hay Group's ESCI is available directly for use by HR professionals and line managers, or with consulting support. Hay Group's latest analysis of its ESCI database includes a review of 360° surveys with more than 17,000 organizational leaders worldwide. Hay Group's analysis of the competencies prevalent among executives includes a look at 179 female executives and 700 male executives in general management roles.

First train pulls out of new Dearborn Amtrak station
From Detroit Free Press:
Rev. John Koski, associate pastor of Springwells Church in Dearborn, waves as the trains departs.(Photo: Eric Lawrence, Detroit Free Press)
As Wolverine Train No. 351 to Chicago left Dearborn this morning, the Rev. John Koski was there, waving as it pulled away from the platform after picking up 68 passengers at the new John D. Dingell Transit Center shortly after 7 a.m.
Koski, 64, of Dearborn and associate pastor of the city's Springwells Church, was impressed.
"This is going to be a great place," he said, noting its proximity on Michigan Avenue near Evergreen to The Henry Ford and a local bike path. "This is going to be a great asset to Dearborn."
Koski said he was also at the station to "dedicate this to the Lord" ahead of an open house planned for 4-6 p.m. Monday.
The federally funded, $28.2 million, 16,000-square-foot center is designed as an intermodal passenger rail station on the Chicago-Detroit/Pontiac. It's near the Rouge River Gateway Greenway Trail that connects to the University of Michigan-Dearborn and Henry Ford College campuses, and a pedestrian bridge should make it easy for passengers to enter the Henry Ford and Greenfield Village, Dearborn city spokeswoman Mary Laundroche has said.
The station, which features a mosaic of blue tiles stretching out in rays and stars and smaller green arches designed by local students, also has a number of interesting features, including heat lamps in a mostly enclosed waiting area outside. And the platform itself can adjust so the distance to the train is less for those boarding or move to accommodate wider loads passing through, according to Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari.
A Tim Hortons also is being completed near the station.
It's the third train station to open in Michigan in recent months. In October, the long-delayed $6.4 million Troy Transit Center and the $6.1 million Vernon J. Ehlers Amtrak Station opened in Grand Rapids opened for business.
This morning, the lobby of the new Dearborn station at 21201 Michigan Ave., which is about two miles west of the old station, was filled with riders, many of them who had visited Niagara Falls as part of a tour group.
Gary King, 54, of Ridgway, Ill., called the station gorgeous, while Sherri Ulbrich, 72, who was traveling with her husband Bob Cox, of St. Charles, Mo,, noted with a smile that the temperature could be warmer.
But Debbie Williams, 43, of Riverview marveled at the packed lobby.
"I've never seen it this full," she said, describing the new station as an improvement. "The old station could fit in (this lobby). … It's probably a little overwhelming compared to the last one. I had to make sure I was in the right place."
Williams said she was traveling to Chicago to see a Bob Seger concert with a friend.
Patrick Socia, 58, of Texas Township near Kalamazoo, was headed home. He works for Quicken Loans in Detroit and travels back and forth regularly.
He takes the train more often when gas prices are high.
"You can plug in, do your work. It's comfortable, not as ugly as a bus," he said.
Hyginia Malinowski, 54, who recently moved to Dearborn from Williamsburg, Va., after her husband got a job with Ford, was traveling to Chicago with her friend, Susan Smith, 56, of Basel, Switzerland.
She was a bit anxious about the trip after learning that a man with possible mental health issues had been accused of stabbing four people Friday on a train heading to Port Huron, but she noted that "what are the chances it would happen again?"
This trip would mark her first in Dearborn.
"Everybody tells us it's the best way to go," she said.

In South Africa, the 'dop' (tot) system refers to the institutionalised practice of giving wine to male farm workers at regular intervals during the working day throughout the working week. Farm workers could be given a bottle of cheap wine, which they shared with their families at the end of the day. Providing workers with wine in lieu of wages has been illegal, though practised, from 1809.
Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) refers to an array of symptoms. Its elements will not necessarily be associated with one another and vary among those affected. FAS/ 'Full' FASD is distinguished from 'partial' FASD (pFASD), which in turn was separated from Alcohol-Related Neurone Developmental Disorder (ARND). The prevalence of FASD (FAS + pFASD) and pFASD recorded on farms and in rural towns in the Western and Northern Cape is much higher than in towns and farming districts anywhere else in the world. FASD is generally agreed to be an outcome of women drinking when they are pregnant. It is most often the consequence of 'binge drinking'; consuming large quantities of alcohol over brief periods. Conceptions of FASD and interpretations of its consequences continue to be controversial.
Lemoine, a French paediatrician, identified the symptoms of the condition in 1967 (1). Jones and Smith named it in 1973 at the University of Seattle (2). In South Africa, clinicians first described cases in 1978 (3, 4), then in 1984 (3-5), and its effects in 1985 (6). These were not followed-up in South Africa for another decade.
Two obvious problems stood in the way of the conventional assumptions of the relations of viticulture to the dop system and FASD. The first are matters of fact: Farm workers now drink more beer than wine; and alcohol abuse and the prevalence of FASD extended beyond the Cape wine and fruit farms. In 1995/6, Croxford and Viljoen found high levels of alcohol abuse 'which extends into pregnancy' in areas peripheral to the Winelands (7). The first three 'waves' of recorded prevalence of FASD of 4.6%, 7.4%, and 8.9% IN 1997, 1999, and 2002 among children in their first school year in a Winelands district (8, 9). Subsequent research outside the winegrowing areas found levels of 11.9% in 2006 in De Aar, a collapsing railway junction in a sheep-farming area in the Karroo, and 10 per cent in Aurora, a wheat farming in the coastal area of the Western Cape in 2011 (10-12).
The second is a problem of explanation: Men prefer to drink in shebeens; women mainly drink beer in groups at home at weekends. It is not prima facie evident that regular consumption of alcohol by men working on wine farms during the working week should be the reason for weekend binge drinking among women and of FASD.
Epidemiologists have classified, counted, compared, calculated and correlated the prevalence of FASD among children in their early years. They confirmed the clear association between the extent and concentration of the consumption of wine and beer during the trimesters of pregnancy and the statistical relations among age, gender, weight, nutrition and diet, genetic inheritance and medical conditions, and the features and disabilities of FASD children. Measurement becomes more difficult after that; explanation even more so. The incidence and prevalence of FASD varies in geographical and historical contexts, according to the intersecting relations among race, social stigmas, relations among women, and mutual relations and compromises between partners. The international literature takes little account of research in and on South Africa, which would inform contentious debates. The most evident lack in the professional literature is to investigate the lives and values of the women and of the men who do not drink in places where drinking is commonly a norm.
It may be easier to say that FASD 'is entirely preventable' than to create the circumstances in which it is prevented. Mothers of children with FASD may find themselves held socially responsible within their communities and by the reminder that FASD is, indeed, completely preventable. Engagements with individuals and communities have in some places proved able to reduce the prevalence of FASD. A 'holistic approach' to 'interventions' combines public information, campaigns directed at girls and women who are most likely to be placed in vulnerable situations and intensive work among those most at risk from heavy drinking before and during the early months of pregnancy, and time-limited counselling. These depend on people with complementary professional skills, training, and flexibility to work with clients as they grow from childhood into adolescence and adulthood.
Researches and practices are primarily carried out by Universities and NGOs which depend predominantly on funding by institutions outside South Africa—and by the liquor industry. National and regional governments have set out Master Plans for collaboration among institutions. However, they have not recognised FASD as a national crisis in public health (13). They can and should provide funds to support research and interventions to reduce the prevalence of FASD and to facilitate assistance to people with FASD by those who are responsible to and for them, without taking them over.
Funding: The St Peter's College Research Fund and the Review of African Political Economy have contributed to the costs of this research.

Mr. Potato Head Gets a Gender-Neutral Makeover
Everybody say spud!
by Christopher Rudolph 2/25/2021
Almost 70 years since his debut, Mr. Potato Head is dropping the "Mr." and becoming gender-neutral.
"Culture has evolved," Kimberly Boyd, an SVP and GM at Hasbro who works on the Potato Head brand, told Fast Company. "Kids want to be able to represent their own experiences. The way the brand currently exists— with the 'Mr.' and 'Mrs.' — is limiting when it comes to both gender identity and family structure."
⚡ "The iconic Mr. Potato Head is breaking away from gender norms"https://t.co/qMrAMLY5hT
— Fast Company (@FastCompany) February 25, 2021
Hasbro celebrated the 60th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head in 2012, but now the toymaker wants to "stop leaning so heavily into this traditional family structure."
"The sweet spot for the toy is 2–3 years old," Boyd added. "Kids like dressing up the toy, then playing out scenarios from their life. This often takes the form of creating little potato families, because they're learning what it means to be in a family."
Hasbro isn't the only toy company to introduce gender-neutral options. In 2019, Mattel introduced the world's first gender-neutral doll, part of its Creatable World doll kits.
The re-branded Potato Head toys will be available this fall.

Any idea why?

A: You have to set up the negative margins to the image's container, and set the image width: 100%
.slides {
  width: 100%;
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden; // so the "negative" part is not visible

But maybe you should the image as a background and use the property background-size: cover; and background-position: center;

STUDENTS SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN POLITICAL ACTIVITIES?
Home Political News STUDENTS SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN POLITICAL ACTIVITIES?
Student politics is one of the most discussed topics today. The question arises whether students should take part in the political activities is a subject drawing difference of opinion.
The answer may be the students are the young India. They are someone who decides the future of our country. Getting indulge into politics at an early stage will give them a better exposure to the political side of the country. When someone learns something on their own, they tend to learn it with more effectiveness. It will help them to gain knowledge on their own and will be exposed to different area of their interests as well. After gaining knowledge students will be able to develop fine qualities like public speaking. History has witnessed the fine leaders with good speaking skills. They knew how to deliver a speech as they represented the whole country.
Training at early stage will help the students to develop personality. The student will get to know more than one way to serve his/her motherland.
Talking about the odds of student politics, somewhere politics at college level is a disadvantage to studies. Politics is not some 9 to 5 job. It demands time and patience. Due to politics at college level, certain students have started to be rebellious. Many students have started indiscipline in college and been excluded from certain educational centers. There are some political parties who are now using students for their political benefits.

120 years of GASTI - from filling shoe polish to a leading packaging machine manufacturer for the dairy industry
The Schwaebisch Hall-based company «GASTI» is celebrating its 120th anniversary in November 2020. Take a look back at more than a century of pure innovation in the packaging machinery sector.
It has all started at GASTI back in the year 1900, when the glue manufacturer Adolf Diemer was tired of manually filling leather grease (shoe polish) into cans. It was a mess, especially when the cans were overfilled and the sticky grease was spreading on tables and floors. So he looked for a technical solution and remembered an old light-casting machine in the attic, which was used to make stearin candles. Adolf Diemer's vague idea was to use this machine to fill the leather grease into cans. He instructed his mechanic Karl Ganzhorn to convert them, who – after much trial and error proudly demonstrated the result in the small workshop: a pouring trolley – basically the first filling machine.
A friend who was the owner of the Werner & Metz company in Mainz examined the "Ganzhorn" filling machines and immediately ordered ten pieces — for the production of "Erdal" shoe polish, which already enjoyed a worldwide reputation at that time.
Ganzhorn had to complete this first order for 10 pouring trolleys on its own within a short period of time. He didn't like the massive order since, after all, he was employed by Diemer. However, the glue manufacturer encouraged him to set up his own company and even made available a small workshop in Klingenweg in Schwäbisch Hall.
Karl Ganzhorn started his own business same year. He was obsessed by his work. His variety of ideas was incredible. He designed and built dozens of gadgets and small machines. In order to be able to cope with the work, he soon needed employees. They had to be paid, of course, and he needed capital. That is why he teamed up with Friedrich Kling in 1905. Kling joined the company as a so-called «silent partner». Ganzhorn & Kling was the new company name.
In addition to the pouring and filling trolleys, they also manufactured filling hoppers for bottles and other useful equipment soon and the orders piled up. In World War I the company was given special order: manufacturing of filling machines for army catering. Only the fillers for milk remained for the homeland. Ganzhorn and Kling separated in the middle of World War I.
With the entry of a new partner, watchmaker Wilhelm Stirn, the company Ganzhorn & Stirn continued to develop. From June 16, 1916, Stirn was the sole owner (when the company was taken over, it consisted of 18 workers and 5 employees) and Karl Ganzhorn left the company. Due to the high respect for the company founder Ganzhorn & Stirn became the new company name. In addition Kling and Stirn sounds quite similar and there was also the hope to benefit from the already established and well reputed original name.
Stirn was a man of visions and the volume of orders grew steadily. Soon, the backyard workshop in Klingenweg became too small. Stirn searched and found a new domicile. In 1919 he and his people moved to the former cement factory in Steinbach. In 1921 the company already had more than 100 employees. More and more effective machines and devices were built. In addition to shoe polish, products such as eau de Cologne, honey and mayonnaise, margarine and processed cheese, jam and cough syrup, tomato paste and liqueurs should be packed. Bottles, cans, jugs, canisters and tubes should be used as containers. Each customer got his own special equipment and Wilhelm Stirn was very successful with his new ideas. A real tinkerer and inventor. «Doesn't work» didn't exist at Ganzhorn & Stirn. Soon after the shorter company name 'GASTI' was formed from GA for Ganzhorn and STI for Stirn.
In 1947 Wilhelm Stirn passed away and Mrs. Margarete Sehl-Stirn put the management in the hands of her husband, Hans Sehl, who successfully managed the company which had grown to 300 employees in the meantime.
The 1950s GASTI introduced its first filling machines for tubes (Gnom) which was manufactured in series.
Dieter Sehl (son of Hans Sehl) began planning the business in Hessental at an early stage, as a progressive business organization was no longer possible at the old facility in Steinbach.
Aseptic processing as competitive edge
In the 1970s, GASTI became one of the first suppliers to develop special machinery for sterile cup packaging. This was a pioneering and successful development, as it had previously been impossible to offer long shelf lives for dairy products that were not refrigerated.
In 1977 the first aseptic filling and sealing machine (DOGASEPTIC 42) with a sealless dosing system was delivered. As a result, GASTI added aseptic machines to its product portfolio.
In 1978 the 500th GASTI packaging machine was produced and delivered to the customer.
International growth
The success story continued in the following years. In 1981 the owner Dieter Sehl sold the company with 450 employees to Rheinmetall AG. At that time GASTI a large variety of machines were sold into many countries globally wide. A success story began with the participation in the 'Middle East Electricity & Electronics' trade fair in Jeddah in 1983 and the sale of the DOGATHERM 12DR to an Arabian company. This customer in Kingdom Saudi Arabia has nowadays installed 17 machines from the CONTITHERM series on which mainly yoghurt is filled.
In 2000, the IWKA Group took over the company from Rheinmetall AG and in 2007 the packaging machine division of IWKA AG was sold and joined the Odewald & Cie. portfolio and was introduced as OYSTAR Group to the market. At the end of 2014, the OYSTAR Group was sold to the Italian packaging machine manufacturer IMA S.p.A. and the IMA DAIRY & FOOD division — to which GASTI belongs — was created. At the end of 2018, Mr. Thomas Becker took over 60% of the shares in the IMA DAIRY & FOOD group; 40% are still owned by IMA S.p.A.
Today GASTI machines are in successful operation world wide. The company, based in Schwaebisch Hall-Hessental, specializes in continuous filling and sealing machines for liquid and pasty products in prefabricated cups made of plastic or cardboard-plastic composites.
E.g. this year a CONTITHERM 123 with an output of 28,000 cups / h for filling soy yoghurt and a an aseptic machine DOGASEPTIC 82 with an output of 19,200 cups / h for filling yoghurt have been installed with two different Chinese customers. Another DOGASEPTIC for filling caffè latte will be shipped to South East Asia in December.
The packaging machinery sector has been subject to constant changes over the past 120 years. GASTI, however, has always managed to pick up on changing market demands early on, continually setting new trends. As a result, the company's customers have always been supplied with reliable and innovative machines that always have one thing in common: the very highest quality standards.

San Bernardino County's emergency dispatch center has been noted as one of the best emergency call centers worldwide.
On Tuesday, the dispatch center was honored as an Accredited Center of Excellence by the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch, county fire authorities said.
A ceremony was held at Fire Station 71 in Fontana to celebrate the Rialto-based center.
In September 2012, the communication center reached the level of excellence required for the accreditation and has maintained that status throughout the ensuing year, fulfilling the requirement for formal recognition, said county fire spokeswoman Tracey Martinez.
"This made them one of only two accredited dispatch centers in Southern California and one of 129 accredited worldwide," Martinez added.
Certification by the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch attests to the specialized knowledge, skills and attributes of dispatchers, Martinez said in a written statement.
It's an objective, measurable process for determining and validating the competency of individuals serving as lifelines for people needing emergency services, she said.
Another important function of the call center is pre-arrival instructions to responders.
In 2012, the communication center dispatched more than 153,922 calls, of which 101,057 alone were medical calls.
The ProQA system provides a mechanism for dispatchers to provide superior, up-to-date public care and efficient resource utilization to the public we serve." said San Bernardino County Fire Chief Mark Hartwig.
"We are very proud of this accomplishment and pride ourselves on serving our communities at the highest level available," he said.

As we learn more about yesterday's horrific tornado outbreak I am still thinking about writing the blog this morning. I will start up a new blog by around noon today. Thank you for posting some of the videos. Check back in later this morning and have a nice day. It should get close to our forecast high of 71 degrees today.
I am in awe……scared……almost don't believe what I am seeing in today's horrific tornado outbreak that isn't over yet. There have been over 100 tornado reports and a few of the tornados have been EF4 and possibly EF5 strength. Here is one from our TornadoAlleyLive.com site in Alabama.
Conditions just became perfect for tornadoes today and there have been so many tornadic supercells with just perfect rotation. The weather will be calming down for a while after this system lifts out later tonight.
Just saw some footage on the weather channel from Birmingham, absolutely unreal! Very scary, it looked like the entire thunderstorm went to ground level.
The phrases "debris ball on radar" and "debris being strewn over 100 miles" sounds really horrible. Let's all pray for all the people that have been affected or may be affected by these storms today and tonight.
This is so incredibly sad and awful. I'm hoping that this "active" period ends very soon..
Copy/paste from facebook: Springtime PSA: While 'tornados' is technically correct (for some ungodly reason), please spell it the more correct way of 'tornadoes.' Think of it like potatoes or tomatoes. You wouldn't spell those words correctly without the 'oes' so why is the word 'tornado' any different?
Oh, this is an awful outbreak. I was watching those storms in Alabama today, and some of those supercells were staying together for hours.
How do you do that to get pass the moderation thing?
Gosh, if you are scared Gary, then I'll be petrified! I get a pit in my stomach every time I see the devastation these twisters are creating to peoples lives and property.
While I am bummed over the weekend rain chances, I guess it could be worse here.
Gary – you said it was going to be windy on Friday, but who does the weekend look for winds? I'd like to get my horse out for a little ride without her getting nervous over wind whipped trees and bushes.
The wind on Saturday will be gusty in the morning from the south at 15-25 mph, then it should become much less as a front moves through. Sunday will be cool, but winds will be from the northwest at 5-15 mph.
Here is another incredible video of Tuscaloosa tornado–up CLOSE by a chaser. Starting at about the 4 minute mark, they are literally across the parking lot from it and look to be in the inflow bands. Clearly caught off guard.
The emotion of the storm chaser tells the eerie story. This was just one horrific day. Thanks for posting. I will show some of this on the air tonight. I am going to an elementary school today and I will still explain how rare tornadoes are, but this is why we all have to pay close attention to each threat.
160 reports of tornadoes for this event, but It'll probably go down some. The super outbreak had 148.
death rate I believe is already higher than the 74 outbreak. I'm already seeing quotes from insensitive clods blaming global warming for this..
! that is the best way to describe what happened yesterday into this morning. I watched the large wedge pass Downtown Birmingham to the north and west live on TWC yesterday and I think that was the most unreal live shot that I have ever watched, even when the tornado was still almost 20 miles away from the city shingles and other lightwieght debries began to fall from the sky behing the TWC anchor. I have seen other video of the Tuscaloosa/Birmingham tornado and I dont think I have seen quite the impressive multiple vorticies ever before they were all over the place, some of them became rather large looking horizonal tornadoes cutting across the main one at a 90 degree angle, like a "medusa" of twisters inside one main funnel. It is really sad to hear about all of the deaths. Hopfully the tornadoes have blown them selves out for the season.

Sergio Agüero faces fitness test for Manchester City's Marseille game
Manchester City striker has struggled with knee injury
Guardiola: 'He needs a little bit more time for the injury'

Sergio Agüero faces a fitness test on Wednesday before Manchester City's game against Marseille, with Pep Guardiola hoping the striker will be involved in advance of Saturday's derby at Manchester United.
Following knee surgery in the summer Agüero has made only four appearances this season and suffered a setback when entering as a 78th-minute replacement in City's 1-0 win at Olympiakos two weeks ago. Guardiola is hopeful City's record goalscorer can take some part at home to Marseille, whom his team play having won their Champions League group.
Crossing – like swearing and mixtapes – just isn't like it used to be | Jonathan Liew
"We are going to decide tomorrow," the manager said. "Maybe he is on the bench – we will decide. We are going to do a training session and see how his reaction is in his body, not just his knee, but what is important is the last two, three, four days he was part of the group in training and the niggles he had in the recent past disappeared."
City will travel to United a point behind Ole Gunnar Solskjær's team and Guardiola hinted that even if Agüero is involved against Marseille the 32-year-old would be unlikely to start at Old Trafford. "He's working incredibly hard to come back and this is the most important thing. So, of course he needs a little bit more time for the injury and for his physicality, but we are patient."
Phil Foden is a regular in the Champions League XI but last started in the Premier League in mid-October despite being one of City's standout performers this season.
Guardiola said: "I don't see the Champions League as completely different to other ones [competitions]. He [Foden] gives us quality in Europe, the Premier League and the cups. He played against Real Madrid last season but not Lyon and then played this season. Every game we try to pick the best team. I'm not a guy who plays all the season with just 11 players, I don't believe in this. I like everybody involved."
Guardiola praised the 20-year-old's versatility. "As a manager having someone who can play in several positions is fundamental," he said. "At this moment I see him playing up front but I'm pretty sure when he becomes 24 or 25 he will be able to play more in defensive midfield. Now he can play both wings, behind the striker or as a striker."

Q: If $f(x+iy) = u(x,y) + iv(x,y)$ is entire, and $u^2(x,y) = v^2 (x,y)$ then $f$ is constant I see that if I considered:
$f^2 (x+iy) = u^2 - v^2 + 2iuv = 2iuv$, then $f^2$ is constant and so the square root of a constant will be constant, hence $f$ is constant.
However, I want to prove it with the following, and I somehow showed that it's the zero function?
Since $f$ is entire, then $u_x = v_y$ and $u_y = -v_x$.
Also, using $u^2 = v^2$, differentiating w.r.t to $x$ and $y$ gives
$u\cdot u_x = v \cdot v_x$
and $u\cdot u_y = v \cdot v_y$.
Multiplying the two equations together, we have
$u^2 \cdot u_x \cdot u_y = v^2 \cdot v_x \cdot v_y$.
Using the CRE, we have that $u^2\frac{u_x}{v_y}= v^2 \frac{v_x}{u_y} \implies u^2 = -v^2$.
But $u^2 = v^2$. Hence, $u \equiv 0 \equiv v$ and so $f$ is the constant zero function?

A: This is the classic case of proving something incorrect by secretly dividing both sides of the equation by $0$. Here $u_y$ and $v_y$ are both $0$ so dividing by them isn't allowed.
With a little care you can modify this to a valid proof by contradiction.

Q: Is there a reason why bb.person gets filled but a.Person does not? package main

import (

)

type Person struct {
    First string `json:"name"`
}

type person struct {

    bb := struct {
        *person `json:"person"`
        *alias

        alias: (*alias)(a),
    }

    if err := json.Unmarshal(b, &bb); err != nil {
        return err

    fmt.Printf("%+v\n", bb.person)

    return nil
}

func main() {
    b := []byte(`{"person": {"name": "bob"}}`)

    if err := json.Unmarshal(b, a); err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("%+v\n", a.Person)
}

results in:
&{Last:bob}
<nil>

Why does bb.person and a.Person have the same struct tag but only bb.person gets filled in? I haven't been able to find the appropriate documentation but why does this happen and is it guaranteed to always happen?

Production-ready Tramontana to debut in Geneva
Feb 27th 2006 at 12:30PM
Here's another exotic sports car to add to your stable. A.d. Tramontana has been working on an interesting two-seater that has played itself out as a concept vehicle in years past, but now the Spanish vehicle is ready for prime time. The Tramontana, at a weight of just over 2000 lbs., has been blessed with a 5.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V12 engine putting out 720 hp to launch it to a top speed of 182 mph. No word on pricing yet, but they'll likely vary as the company promises to customize them for each new owner.

University of Mount Olive swept a double header from Fayetteville State 2-1, 5-0 Thursday afternoon at Nancy Chapman Cassell Field in non-conference softball from Mount Olive, N.C.
Mount Olive (16-15) was in the hole early as Fayetteville State's (9-9) Haley Wood reached on throwing error by the Trojan third baseman. Wood advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Brittany Freeman. After two walks another error by the Trojans allowed the Broncos sole run to score.
It took Mount Olive until the bottom of the sixth to respond back. Savannah Becker led off the inning with a base hit into right center. Following a fly out, Anna Ingram drew a walk and Becker moved to second. Madison Stewart came up and got the clutch hit for Mount Olive.
Stewart's singled dropped into right center and scored Becker from second. However a collision at the plate allowed not only Becker to score, but also Ingram to come around from first to give the Trojans the 2-1 lead.
Mount Olive shut down Fayetteville state in the top of the seventh not allowing a comeback.
Julie Hodges (6-3) picked up the win in relief pitching the final five innings and did not allow a run and surrendered a single hit, while striking out three.
In the night cap it was all Mount Olive (17-15) as the Trojans got on the board first in the third. Becker drew a one out walk to give the Trojans a base runner. Kayla Sllen singled into left center and moved Becker to second. Both runners moved into scoring position following a fly out and a stolen base. Jazmin Montgomery reached on a fielding error by the second baseman, which allowed Becker to score the game's first run.
After a scoreless top of the fourth, Mount Olive went back to work. Kristin Power doubled to right center to lead off the inning. Power was advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Callie Ferrell. Cailtin Ewers scored the second Trojan run with an RBI-groundout. Charlene Thompson singled past the diving Bronco shortstop to continue the threat. Thompson stole second on the next play to put herself in scoring position. Kelsey Akers picked up an RBI-double and moved Mount Olive up 3-0.
Mount Olive added two more insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth off a RBI-single from Akers and a delayed steal of home by Reagan Anderson.
Madi Johnston (10-6) threw a complete game five hit shutout to secure the win for Mount Olive. Johnston also registered two strikeouts in her performance.
Mount Olive is scheduled to make up a previously rained out doubleheader with Converse College Tuesday at 3 p.m. at Nancy Chapman Cassell Field.

Travel+Leisure: The Future of Airplane Food Involves Robots, Apps, and Automats
by Marisa Garcia
Airplane food service hasn't changed much since the introduction of the wheeled trolley, but some designers think it's time to toss out the galleys and trays — and try something completely different.
Bernadette Berger, associate creative director at Seattle-based design firm TEAGUE, imagines that trolley service could be replaced by automat-style ordering.
Passengers could peruse the menu choices and place their order on an app, then collect it from one of the lockers at new self-service stations onboard, using near field communications (NFC). These in-flight automats could offer more than food, Berger says. Airlines could also supply comfort items like neck pillows, eye-masks, amenity kits, headphones, or duty-free luxury goods.
"We're looking for ways to increase choice for passengers and the general drive for having 'what I want when I want it'," Berger said.
Berger also believes that airlines could install robotic galleys for food delivery. Meal preparation would be relocated to the belly of the plane, leaving more space in the main cabin for passenger seating. Food trays would be lifted to a service station where passengers could collect them when they are ready to eat.
Introducing self-service in-flight meals, controlled by apps and automation, could be better for the environment. It would help airlines reduce food waste and the trash generated by food packaging. It could also reduce the weight of equipment onboard, which would burn less fuel and generate a lower CO2 footprint.
"This was a big topic that we had when we were first ideating," Berger told Travel + Leisure. "We talked about the packaging — big galley complexes with smaller boxes. There's a lot of redundancy."
The data gathered from processing inflight meals and sales of in-flight comforts could help airlines refine their services, even improve food and beverage quality.
"Airlines could partner with other luxury brands and other food brands, and have co-branded products," Berger said. "You can imagine where an airline could lean into partnerships with brands like Starbucks. It could be a better food experience for the passenger, but also offer name-brand recognition."

Q: Is there a way to view how many days/months I have left on my free tier? Title says it all. I want to terminate my account just before free tier expires.

A: On the Free Tier FAQ page it says:

How do I know how much I've used and if I've gone over the free usage tiers?
  By logging into your Account Activity page, you can see current and past usage activity by service and region, and download Usage Reports.


Today is the official last day of school. My two middle schoolers will be all done after their fun activity day today. My three high schoolers, however, still have a week or two more of what's called mini-term. It's a required part of their schooling at the school they attend. Through the mini-terms, the kids can learn new skills and/or serve communities with service projects, usually using the new skills they learned. Not cheap, but an amazing opportunity for each kid involved!
I used this this tutorial to make Megan's bag. It's amazing! It's like origami with fabric! The tutorial uses a fat quarter to make a little gift bag, but since I wanted a much larger bag, I used a 40" square.
I also cut out a 40" square of muslin and placed it behind my main fabric to strengthen the bag. Since I was going to pack the bag with travel goodies, I overlapped the sides to make room! I also stitched two rows of stitching across the bottom so the bag would fold easier and so the pockets ended at the bottom.
I added snaps to the top and each pocket.
So, now to fill the bag! First off, I have to explain something about my kids. They aren't your typical teenagers! They love hanging out with their siblings and parents, still love the little things in life, are generally innocent, and are happy people! So the things I bought for Megan reflect this! If you would like to read more about Megan, you can here.
I included: a spiral bound notebook for journaling, drawing or writing notes to friends, two activity books, an Amish novel (fitting, eh?), a new box of crayons (which she loves getting), and some mechanical pencils.
A mystery eraser (she collects erasers), travel tangrams, and stickers (to add to notes for friends).
Play-doh (which is the BEST when you're bored on a plane!), strawberry Crystal Light, gum, Mickey Mouse band-aids (she LOVES special band-aids!), and some candy bars!
*Sniff* I'm going to miss her so, but I hope she learns and grows in Christ from her experiences!
What an awesome opportunity! Hope you will post about their experiences - especially Megan's stay with the Amish!
This is so sweet. What fun.
I love seeing what a teenager has in her airplane bag as I am about to pack the airplane bag for my 2 year old and 7 year old for our plane trip to Norway next weekend.
I love the bag and all the pockets. I will have to save the tutorial for another time and maybe I will make a bag like this for my kids for next time we go.
Oh my. Aren't you clever with your little adjustments!
I just love your daughter's obvious sweetness with the things she is interested in. Especially the chocolate - hehe!
I am so glad you let me know about your creation and shared it on your blog. I am flattered!
The original tutorial is down. Do you have a copy that you could send? Thanks!

Q: How to reset podman and buildah after experimenting as a non-root user? A non-root user has been experimenting with
running podman and buildah commands but would now just want to reset everything
to as it was before starting the experiment (i.e. all container images and containers should be deleted together with the buildah and podman configuration).
My best guess is running
testuser@linux:~$ rm -rf  ~/.local/share/containers/

might work.
What commands do you recommend for this?
Software versions used
Ubuntu 18.04.2 with
https://launchpad.net/~projectatomic/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
testuser@linux:~$ dpkg -l|grep podm
ii  podman                                     1.3.2-1~dev~ubuntu18.04~ppa15                amd64        Manage pods, containers and container images.

ii  buildah                                    1.9.0-1~dev~ubuntu18.04~ppa17                amd64        A command line tool used for creating OCI images.
testuser@linux:~$

A: I have been thinking about adding a command to do this.
podman system reset
Or something like that.
But if nothing has been modified
$ rm -rf  ~/.local/share/containers/ ~/.config/containers

Should get you want you want.

A: I would not do it by deleting the storage they way you are because you are assuming there is nothing stored elsewhere under the mount point of the image or container. If you want to clean up EVERYTHING I would do this:
podman rmi -f $(podman images -a -q)

and then
buildah rm -a

A: The Red Hat OpenShift training labs recommend these commands to stop and clear cached images:
podman stop --all   # stop all running containers
podman rmi --all    # remove all defined containers, state data and locally cached images


The ideological beliefs held by faculty and administrators of America's colleges and universities have been lopsidedly left for decades. This liberal dominance is a huge problem for higher education as it has limited viewpoint diversity, diminished unpopular ideas, and inhibited honest discourse which is the hallmark of a real and robust liberal education.
But the release of new data from UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) on our nation's professoriate offers good news and hope for the future. It appears that the sharp political shift of university faculty to the left, visible over the past three decades, has stalled. While a liberal dominance still exists, the new HERI data show that the numbers have not worsened over the past three years.
A few years ago, I sounded the alarm that higher education was in crisis. Over the past three decades, the professors who teach our nation's undergraduates have driven out real viewpoint diversity from campuses and have moved sharply leftward. From 1989 through 2014, HERI surveys of the ideological leanings of college faculty members consistently showed that the percentage of those identifying as liberal always outnumbered moderates and conservatives. Some periods stand out: in the mid-1990s, a notable leftward shift was indicated by the data. By 2014, liberal identifiers jumped to 60 percent (vs. 40 percent in 1989), with moderates at 30 percent (vs. 20 percent in 1989), and conservatives at just 10 percent (from 20 percent in 1989).
Today, three years after my warning, the ideological imbalance among our nation's faculty has remained static. The just released 2016-2017 HERI data reveal that in aggregate, 60 percent of our nation's faculty lean liberal and far left. 28 percent identify as middle of the road and the remaining 12 percent claim to be conservative or far right.
These numbers are practically identical to the earlier HERI survey findings. They also reveal how much more left-leaning our nation's professors are compared to the very students they teach. In 2016, for instance, 36 percent of incoming college students identified as liberal while 22 percent were conservative. The centrist 42 percent were the plurality. Putting this in context, the liberal to conservative ratio for incoming students was 1.6 to 1—for faculty, the liberal to conservative ratio was 5 to 1. Depressing facts for students who expect their faculty to teach balanced ideas and perspectives.
Moreover, the HERI data make it clear that conservative faculty voices are least likely to be found on public university campuses. Mirroring earlier trends, only 8 percent of professors at public universities identify as conservative compared to the 66 percent who lean left — an 8.25 to 1 liberal to conservative ratio. Following close behind are private, non-sectarian four-year colleges, which have a 6 to 1 ratio, and public colleges which have a 5 to 1 ratio. Private universities, on the other hand, are the most balanced with 16% of professors being conservative compared to 55% being liberal — a 3.4 to 1 ratio.
While no one should be celebrating the skewed balance found among our nation's professoriate, the new HERI numbers offer hope that concerns over the meteoric rise of liberals in the academe and the ideological monoculture that exists in many of our colleges and universities may be slowing down. Since 2014, almost 6,300 new faculty jobs have been created, not accounting for the replacements of faculty who have moved on and no longer teach. This has certainly provided an opportunity for the academe to grow and tilt even more to the left in the past few years. But it hasn't, and this should be taken as a positive sign.
Regrettably, the HERI data offer no real clues as to why — in an environment in which questions about socialism and the new left are so prevalent — the leftward trend for those teaching at our nation's institutions of higher education has slowed. One possibility is an increased awareness of this imbalance on the part of faculties, graduates, and trustees. Significant public attention has been paid to the lack of viewpoint diversity in higher education. Numerous national news stories aided by advocacy on the part of groups like the Heterodox Academy and the American Council of Trustees and Alumni have put pressure on trustees and professors who hire many faculty members and who generally support real intellectual diversity.
Is this pause in the leftward drift of America's professorate real? The new HERI data could suggest that higher education is at an inflection point and more balance may eventually emerge. And while forces pushing college campuses to the left are still prominent, a progressive increase in faculty ideology has not happened, despite the pressures of the Trump era. So, I am still optimistic, but only time will tell.

2cvat70 — A British Take on a French Small Food Truck
Citroën Articles (general), CITROËN NEWS (Global)
In celebration of the 2CV's 70th anniversary, an entrepreneurial team of British Citroën enthusiasts have decided to bypass the means of operating a larger H Van mobile eatery and concentrate their efforts on transforming not a 2CV Truckette, but a regular 2CV Dolly, into what they claim to be the worlds smallest food truck.
Original Dolly prior to transformation.
Andrew J Mellon, Managing Partner of 2CVat70 project describes it; "The design icon that is the 2CV turns 70 years old this year so we have to celebrate in style and saw the opportunity to educate the nation about the current topic that is food waste. With seven partners involved, the entire project is British designed and built and we are excited to publicly reveal the repurposed vehicle at The London Motor Show." Andrew's team of 50 had just six weeks to make the transformation.
After creating the vehicle, they tried to crowdfund doing a number of days for no charge this summer to help raise funds for charities & community groups up and down the UK, touting that; "The car has already headlined The London Motor Show in May 2018, to much acclaim as the surprise hit of the show. 'Dolly' the car is already partnered with the food waste charity Food Cycle, as their new British Ambassador for Food Waste. She will spend time each week highlighting this issue while traveling around the UK." Since the 2CV was already modified and they said they had sponsorship, it's no small wonder why they were not able secure crowdfunding. Typically odd way of British thinking…
Nevertheless, it exists and their business model is to offer the 2CV and a chef for the day to come to events or even just your house. They claim the value for such a visit is £1250 and they can handle anything from a small picnic in the park, to dinner for 40 in a field, or even a small wedding party when partnered with a vintage Route Master bus. Eggs are always on the menu as the car has been gifted 10,000 Free Range West Country eggs by St Ewe Eggs in Cornwall.
The car's design is rather clever. Aside from the rainbow mylar wrap body, the 2CV can be easily configured into two serving modes with two units that can be switched between a freezer or both fridges. Cold Beer or Ice Cream? They've got you covered!
They say they can deliver incredible and unusual cuisine, from cheese soufflé to Korean BBQ. Maybe so as the 2CVat70 features:
Hot & Cold running water on Board
LPG and Electric on Board
Custom Built OX Charcoal Oven & Grill
Clifton Sous Vide for Precision Cooking
Soufflé Oven capable of turning out 100 soufflés an hour
3 Parry Gas Cooking Elements
4 Parry Electric Cooking Elements
Dometic Portable Fridge/Freezer
Conversion into a Full Bar Operation from the boot!
They have a flair for the dramatic when it comes to promotion. The completed 2CV was delivered by helicopter to the Bicester Heritage airfield where it was it was featured on BBC News then driven to the London Motor Show.

Now the question is; will the French be inspired to "one-up" the Brits by transforming a Morris Minor?

No. When your company enables the ERP Integrations tool and configures it to work with Sage 300 CRE®, the hh2 synchronization client that supports synchronization process does NOT require a Terminal Server or a Terminal Services session. However, during the implementation process, an IT resource (i.e., your company's Sage 300 CRE® Administrator) will work with your Procore point of contact to install and configure the hh2 synchronization client on the Sage 300 CRE® server (see Sage 300 CRE®: Setup Guide).
How does hh2 connect to the Sage 300 CRE® server?
When data is transmitted between Sage 300 CRE® and hh2, what type of data encryption is used?

The tabla is a membranophone percussion instrument (similar to bongos) which is often used in Hindustani classical music and in the traditional music of Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. It is also one of the main Qawali instrument used in Pakistan and India. The instrument consists of a pair of hand drums of contrasting sizes and timbres.
The main drum is called a tabla or dayan and is played with the dominant hand. Its shell is cylindrical and made out of wood, and its tight skin produces a distinct pitch when struck. The larger, low pitched drum, called bayan, has a bowl-shaped metal shell. Its membrane is looser than that of the tabla, enabling the player to manipulate the drum's pitch with his or her hand in performance. It is claimed that the term tabla is derived from an Arabic word, tabl, which simply means "drum."[1] The tabla is used in some other Asian musical traditions outside of the Indian subcontinent, such as in the Indonesian dangdut genre.[2] The playing technique is complex and involves extensive use of the fingers and palms in various configurations to create a wide variety of different sounds and rhythms, reflected in mnemonic syllables (bol). The heel of the hand is used to apply pressure or in a sliding motion on the larger drum so that the pitch is changed during the sound's decay. In playing the Hindustani style tabla there are two ways to play it: band bol and khula bol. In the sense of classical music it is termed "tali" and "khali".

Swept along by the mystery of horses calling me, I signed up for a 6-week course of group riding lessons at the arena in Los Altos. From what I remember we rode English, and I don't think I even went to the last class – there was no connection to the horses or any understanding of why I was there, and it wasn't something I looked forward to.
About a year later, I connected with a conveniently-located Natural Horsemanship instructor who I started taking private lessons with. After several lessons, I still felt no connection to the horses – still had no idea why I wanted them in my life – and on top of that, was now I am completely terrified by them! After all, they are large animals and they kick – which is pretty much all I could remember from the Natural Horsemanship instruction I received in those few weeks. The mystery remained unsolved; the horses still visited me in my dreams.
Another year later, I received a special offer from Chaparral Ranch to come for a lunch-n-ride experience. My heart leapt and I signed up in a second. When I showed up at the ranch, it felt right on a deep, energetic level. I was met by two amazing volunteers – an older couple – who showed our group the stables and horses while they shared their stories. The lunch and ride were enjoyable and I couldn't wait to get back so I could ask about volunteer opportunities. I wanted to do anything just to be around the horses and resolve that persistent mystery. I was told I needed to speak with the owner, Shawn. When we met I confessed I couldn't explain why but I needed to be around horses. He asked me if I wanted to take riding lessons and immediately I said, "Oh no, no, no…!" After all, I had learned that horses are large and they kick. Shawn said, "I trained these horses myself and I know them well. Just come for one lesson next Sunday and then decide". I came the next Sunday for a lesson with Shawn and didn't skip a lesson for the next two years.
Being a Reiki practitioner helped my horsemanship, as I learned to trust the energetic connection with the horses, and allow that to guide our partnership. It felt so right that it was a logical next step to find a career for myself that could combine energy healing and Horses. I was eventually led to the Touched By A Horse certification program – simply reading about it blew my mind and, after speaking on the phone with Melisa Pearce, who founded the Equine Gestalt Coaching Method®, I knew it was the right program for me and I signed up right away. My deeper journey with Horses started a few short weeks later.

So very very much has changed in the 51 years since Arthur Wilton Brown better known as the flamboyant theatrical rock singer with a wide-range operatic vocal style in THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BORWN hit the Billboard chart's #2 spot with a freak hit single in the form of "Fire." Forever known in the pop world as a one hit wonder for his 1968 near chart topper, BROWN has existed as a much more inventive character in the underground and one who was innovative not only in his proto-prog rock musical compositions that graced the 1968 debut album THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN but also supplied an ample supply of shock rock values that would be adopted by the future world of heavy metal with not only his outlandish stage performances that found his metal headpiece spewing out flames but also with his unique approach of belting out an aggressive multi-octave lyrical delivery.
Despite a rather prolific solo career which included several solo albums as well as a few by THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN, Mr. Brown has never topped his debut performance that managed to outstage even the wildest characters of the tumultuous 60s but come 50 years later, this dude is still cranking out the music! And now in 2019, only two days after his 77th birthday, he who is also known as The God of Hellfire has released a new worthy edition to his canon in the form of GYPSY VOODOO which is the culmination of a career's worth of ideas all woven together with a new version of THE CRAZY WORLD band which includes a total of ten different musicians and vocalists. No members from the original rendition of the band are on board here, no Vincent Crane, no Nick Greenwood, no Drachen Theaker. This is a modern day ensemble and after all this is the ARTHUR BROWN hour so who cares about all those others!
While the decades have gone by and musical styles have changed, BROWN seems to exist in his own world where time stands still. GYPSY VOODOO sounds very much like the pioneer of Theatre Shock Rock with the groovy funky vibes of his glory years along with the blues based hard rock that made his 60s and 70s run so addictively fun! With ten diverse tracks GYPSY VOODOO finds BROWN in good spirit and although his vocals haven't navigated the oceans of time completely in tact, they still don't sound too bad for the most part with only some of his attempts to hit the higher range sounding a little raggedy. However on spoken word segments such as on "Fire Poem," he sounds exactly as he once did. With a refusal to join the new sounds of the 21st century it also sounds like BROWN conjured up a new batch of tracks right after his zany revered debut over a half of a century ago when comic books were a mere 10¢!
OK, so what can one expect from a character like ARTHUR BROWN so many years after his peak years that go back so very very far? Well, pretty much more of the same. GYPSY VOODOO is very much a tribute to himself and even includes a remake of the "Fire Poem" / "Fire" tracks that made him famous in the first place but not exactly to the same effect. The good news is that if you totally dig the melodic blues rock based songs that BROWN has always dished out then you are in for a treat. This album is chock full of brand spanking new tracks that sound as if they were created long ago and only now resurrected with the miracles of modern day technology to make them sound squeaky clean and free of the analog technology's limitations and while the remake of "Fire" doesn't exactly blow the original away, it is by no means a terrible exploit of his primo material either.
VOODOO GYPSY is a mixed bag for me. One the one hand, every single track here is a worthy addition to THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN but on the other hand, there's a sense of been there / done that and the album is dripping with nostalgia albeit in a good way. ARTHUR BROWN clearly found his voice long ago and has hardly deviated from it since and has not been tempted in the least to add modern day musical influences to his tapestry of spoken word, blues rock, electronics and psychedelia. Don't expect any metal, hip hop or Beyonce making a cameo. This is ARTHUR BROWN as the God of Hellfire has always been and much the better for it however i do wish that there was some sort of upgrade to the ARTHUR BROWN sound that would connect it to the present. While in no way bad, this album doesn't exactly blow me away either. Definitely recommended for those who crave retro 60s sounds with the benefits of modern day production but if you are expecting a totally new musical paradigm from Mr BROWN then you will be woefully disappointed.

API stability What does this policy cover? What does "stable" mean? What doesn't this policy cover? Security Versioning Version 35.0.0+ Deprecation Previous Scheme
96 lines (68 sloc) 2.93 KB
API stability
From its first release, cryptography has had a strong API stability policy.
This policy includes any API or behavior that is documented in this documentation.
What does "stable" mean?
Public APIs will not be removed or renamed without providing a compatibility alias.
The behavior of existing APIs will not change.
What doesn't this policy cover?
We may add new features, things like the result of dir(obj)) or the contents of obj.__dict__ may change.
Objects are not guaranteed to be pickleable, and pickled objects from one version of cryptography may not be loadable in future versions.
Development versions of cryptography. Before a feature is in a release, it is not covered by this policy and may change.
One exception to our API stability policy is for security. We will violate this policy as necessary in order to resolve a security issue or harden cryptography against a possible attack.
Version 35.0.0+
Beginning with release 35.0.0 cryptography uses a Firefox-inspired version scheme.
Given a version cryptography X.Y.Z,
X indicates the major version number. This is incremented on any feature release.
Y is always 0.
Z is an integer that is incremented for minor backward-compatible releases (such as fixing security issues or correcting regressions in a major release).
This scheme is compatible with SemVer, though many major releases will not include any backwards-incompatible changes.
From time to time we will want to change the behavior of an API or remove it entirely. In that case, here's how the process will work:
In cryptography X.0.0 the feature exists.
In cryptography (X + 1).0.0 using that feature will emit a UserWarning.
In cryptography (X + 3).0.0 the feature will be removed or changed.
In short, code that runs without warnings will always continue to work for a period of two major releases.
From time to time, we may decide to deprecate an API that is particularly widely used. In these cases, we may decide to provide an extended deprecation period, at our discretion.
Previous Scheme
Before version 35.0.0 this project uses a custom versioning scheme as described below.
X.Y is a decimal number that is incremented for potentially-backwards-incompatible releases.
This increases like a standard decimal. In other words, 0.9 is the ninth release, and 1.0 is the tenth (not 0.10). The dividing decimal point can effectively be ignored.
Z is an integer that is incremented for backward-compatible releases.

Nothing to Ghost About
Narrated by: Tiffany Dougherty
Laurel Bay is conducting a funeral when someone is strangled in the bathroom. Now that there have been two deaths in the funeral home, business is as dead as a doornail. As Laurel sifts through the clues, she is faced with too many suspects, a wisecracking ghost, and a woman journalist who appears to be after more than Basil's files.
Make the Ghost of It
Laurel Bay has discovered Basil's secret, but there are soon more important things on her mind. Lewis Lowes, an old friend of Basil's, is dying to go skydiving with him. Basil agrees, although he is up in the air about it. It soon turns out to be a grave mistake. When Lewis's parachutes don't open, he earns his place as the funeral home's next body. The police suspect murder, and their main suspect is Basil. Laurel buries herself in sifting through the clues. Can she solve the crime before she becomes the next victim?
Ghost Stories: Funny Cozy Mystery Series (Witch Woods Funeral Home Book 4)
When Laurel's mother, Thelma, hosts a group of writers in the belief they are writing about the Holy Ghost, she is horrified to find they are, in fact, writing ghost stories. Thelma decides to go on a road trip. Her GPS cannot get her there, so she hires an escort to show her the way. This turns out to be a grave mistake. Things go south when the escort's naked body is found in Thelma's bedroom.
Ghost Blusters: Funny Cozy Mystery
When Laurel's mother, Thelma, becomes possessed by the ghost of a punk rocker, Laurel is tasked with solving the ghost's murder. If Laurel succeeds, the ghost will release her mother, which seems a shame, really. She's a lot nicer possessed. What will happen when possessed Thelma attends church and mixes with her snooty friends? And what will Ian think? With the murderer still on the loose, Laurel must hurry before she becomes the next ghostly inhabitant of Witch Woods Funeral Home.
