How to import - the basics of importing
You can transfer data from an external database into Raiser's Edge from a spreadsheet or text file using the import feature. For instructions on specific imports, search Knowledgebase with the specific information you want to import, such as "How to import new constituents." For in-depth information, review the Import Guide and Import Tutorial.
Note : Before you proceed with the following instructions, back up the database. If your organization integrates multiple Blackbaud products, refer to the Additional Requirements section of the backup article.
Import allows you to import new records and update existing ones. The following instructions walk you through the basic importing steps and explain the options available in the import parameters.
Create a data file. A data file normally consists of two components:
Headers are the pointers to each specific Raisers Edge field.
Data is the information being added such as names, addresses, and constituencies.
Note: Although headers are not required in The Raiser's Edge 7, we recommend using them. Otherwise, you must manually map the fields in the data file to the corresponding field in The Raiser's Edge. In the example below, the headers are in row 1 and the data is in rows 2 and 3
In Administration, click Import
Highlight the appropriate import type, such as Constituent, Constituent Address. In the example below, we use Constituent, Constituent.
Click New Import.
In the What do you want to do? frame, define what to accomplish with the import:
Import new records imports new records such as constituents and gifts into The Raiser's Edge 7. The record in the data file must contain a unique identifier (import ID, constituent ID, or social security number) that does not already exist in the database.
Update existing records updates existing records with new information such as address changes. The record in the data file must contain a unique identifier (import ID, constituent ID, or social security number) that already exists in the database to link the record in the data file to the record in The Raiser's Edge.
Create import file creates a file to share with outside vendors, such as a mailing house or others within your organization. The records in the file can be updated and imported back into The Raiser's Edge. For more information on creating an import file, refer to How to create an import file.
Note: To import new records, update existing records, or validate the data, you must create the import file first. The file must be formatted in accordance with the parameter settings selected in the import such as *.txt, *.csv, or *.prn files.
Complete the checkboxes enabled in the Options frame. These checkboxes are enabled and disabled based on your selection in the What do you want to do? frame. The checkboxes for importing or updating are:
Validate data only validates the data contained in the import file without actually importing the data into The Raiser's Edge. This option searches the import file for errors you may encounter during an import.
Create new table entries creates new table entries for those found in the import file that do not already exist in The Raiser's Edge.
Import records not found as new records identifies as "new" any update record not matched to an existing record in your database. The program then creates a new record for the data.
Automatically reciprocate relationships appears for constituent, individual relationship, and organization relationship imports only. If marked, the program automatically adds the relationship and the reciprocal relationship on the relationship's record if the relationship is a constituent. However, the program fills in the Relationship and Reciprocal fields only if the Relationship field is populated on the constituent record.
Use duplicate criteria for new records uses the duplicate criteria established from Business Rules in Configuration when checking for duplicate records during the import process.
In the What file do you wish to import? frame, enter the Import file name. This is the name of the file that contains the updated information to import. To access a list of existing import files, click the ellipsis and browse for the data file.
Complete the How do you want the system to identify existing constituents? frame. All the IDs must be unique. You can select one of the following:
Use the Import ID - The program defaults to this option. This is a program-generated number the program assigns your records. If you select this option, the program uses the import ID to identify existing records.
Use the Constituent ID - If you select this option, the program uses the constituent ID number to identify existing records. The program generates this number based on your selection in Business Rules in Configuration.
Use the Social Security Number - If you select this option, the program uses the constituent Social Security Number to identify existing records. You enter this number on the constituent records.
Note: If using constituent Social Security Numbers as an identifier when importing records, you must include the dashes when entering the number in the import file.
In the What is the format of this import file? frame, select one of the following options:
Delimited - Characters separate the fields. You must select a character, such as a comma, to separate the fields. For example, if you select comma delimited, fields are separated as follows: "Phone", "Address", "Name", etc. Carriage returns and line feed breaks separate records.
Fixed width - Fields and records have a set length. This option allows you to define the length of the records (fields) to import. Enter the number in the Rec. length field. For example, if you set the record length at 20, all records with 20 characters or less import into the program complete. Any record over 20 characters is truncated at the 21st character. Also, the next record to import starts immediately after the 20th character, so if you have a 20-character record, there is no space between it and the next record. In the No. of fields field, enter the number of different fields there are in a record.
Click Next to move to the File Layout tab.
From the File Layout tab, complete the Field Separators and Text Qualifiers frame. Although the program defaults to the Comma option, you may select to separate fields using a Tab, Semicolon, Space, or Other. The Other option allows you to define the field separator, using a separator other than the ones listed.
Complete the Text qualifier field. This defines the beginning and end points of your field. For example, if you want to include the Address block field in your import file using quotation marks as your text qualifier and commas as your separator it would appear as follows: "AddrBlock",
The text qualifier also allows the program to distinguish between actual punctuation in a string of text and the field separator. For example, if you select the comma as your separator and then try to import the following address - 100 Main Street, Apt. 23F - the program may think the comma indicates a new field. By placing a text qualifier at the beginning and end of your field - "100 Main Street, Apt. 23F" - the program knows all text contained between the text qualifier is part of the same field.
Complete the Import Field Names frame. Select one of the following options:
Field names are on the first line of the import file - If you select this option, the first line in the import file is the header line or row, which contains the Import Name of the fields included in the file. The remaining lines contain data records, one line per record. So, in a Constituent import, each constituent record is given its own line; in a Gift import each gift is given its own line; in a Constituent Phone import each phone number is give its own line.
Import file does not contain field names - This option does not require you to create a header. The program assumes the first line of the import contain data records.
Field names are in a separate file - This option imports record information from fields defined in a file other than the import file. The header and import records are formatted using the field code names, separators, and text qualifiers explained in steps 8 and 9, but the header record and the import file are contained in separate files.
Note: Field names are case sensitive
Click Next to move to the Fields tab.
On this tab, map the fields in the import file to the appropriate location in The Raiser's Edge. The program attempts to automatically match all your Field to Import entries with fields in The Raiser's Edge if you used headers in the data file. This is not a case-sensitive process.
Note: If the program does not recognize the headers or if you did not use headers, you must manually map to the field. All Available Fields appear in the box to the left of the grid.
To manually map field names, in the Available Fields frame, use the Show field to filter the field categories appearing in the treeview. You can select All to display every field category, or you can select a specific field category.
Note: The import values contained in your import file must be arranged in the same order you arrange the field names on the Fields tab.
Click Next to move to the Summary tab. The Summary tab allows you to review the import parameters and other information selected in the import. It also offers miscellaneous import checkboxes.
Complete the Import Options frame. You can select from the following checkboxes (we recommend selecting all available options):
Create exception file of records not updated/imported - Mark this checkbox to generate an exception file at the end of your import. The file contains all fields the program did not successfully update or import. Enter a name for your exception file and the path where you want it created.
Create an output query of the records imported/updated - Mark this checkbox to create a query of all records imported or updated. The query type depends on the type of import file selected. For example, if you run a constituent import, a constituent output query is created.
Create control report - Mark this checkbox to print a report listing the criteria fields and criteria operators selected for the import. The report also shows the import name and the directory path where you saved the import. Select Preview to view the report on your screen before printing or Print to print the report.
Click Import Now to begin the import or update.

Partita Rhytmique is een compositie uit circa 1980 voor piano solo van de Nederlandse componist Gerard Hengeveld.

'Partita Rhytmique' kent delen die de verwantschap met de Engelse suites en klavierpartita's van J.S. Bach in de titels en stijl blootleggen. De delen zijn naast een knipoog naar de Barokmuziek ook knipogen naar de jazzmuziek. Hengeveld vermengt in elk deeltje zowel strakke polyfone en barokke thematiek als swingende jazzy elementen (enerzijds is het gebruik van ritmische syncoperingen opvallend, anderzijds de harmonische benadering met soms jazzakkoorden).

Hengeveld nam dit werk zelf ook op in 1992 op de cd Gerard Hengeveld speelt Gerard Hengeveld. Het werk duurt in totaal circa 17 minuten en is als bladmuziek uitgegeven bij Broekmans & Van Poppel.

Prélude - allegro non troppo
Allemande - andante con moto
Courante - allegro
Sarabande - andante
Gavotte-Musette - allegretto

Most people are familiar with the famous diagram of the Brookes slave ship, published by British abolitionists in 1788. The simple, two-dimensional engraving depicts cross-sections of the slave ship Brookes with the image of hundreds of African enslaved people lying on their backs in tight proximity, filling every available foot of the ship. The Brookesdiagram and similar renderings have stayed in the common imagination of the slave trade, but despite the image's ubiquity, many aspects of the Middle Passage have remained a mystery.


I have been busy working on more fairy tales. I especially love my attempt at Jack and the Beanstalk. I think it is because I had the time to work on the environment for this one.
It's a very simple environment and I am keen to practice and develop my ideas with more depth and textures – they just add so much more to the story. I have collected a huge amount of inspiration for this idea. My ImagineFX subscription is probably the best thing I did this year! So, as usual, no new year resolutions except to learn something. Last year I wanted to practice my figures and character design. This year I want to continue with that but take it a step further and give them a place within their story.
Some of my other illustrations (up to K, so far) are here – Creatures.
Martin, Justin., Poses for Artists, Vol. 2, Standing Poses, Eagel Ink Factory, Justin Martin, 2016.
I have been dreaming about rats, although thinking about it, it might have been a very large gerbil, but its probably because I have been drawing rats lately. I think it is true that we often relive or make sense of our waking experiences in our dreams and I have produced a few illustrations involving rats so far, so I decided one more couldn't hurt.
I rather like rats – there are, perhaps, way too many wild ones for us humans but I think they are inquisitive and intelligent, if a little blood thirsty , gnarly and low. And they are part of the clean-up crew so need fair representation.
I experimented with pastel pencils, watercolour, watercolour pencils and ink. I don't want to talk about the ink as it didn't end well, but the other experiments paid off and I drew (using watercolour and watercolour pencils) a rat that had clearly been up to no good.
I worked with damp paper, dropping in a background wash and then, once dry, I added details and textures with the watercolour pencils. Some of this was blended with a damp brush and then sharpened up again with the pencils.
These are other rats I have worked on. I am especially proud of The Feast (one in graphite) – it married very well with my mission to draw hands and practice gesture. The bonus of the hand being consumed by Low creatures is that wonky bits can easily be blamed on the little nibblers!


Meet the musicians from Helena, Missoula, and Kalispell who make up The Last Chance Dixieland Jazz Band. In the early 1900s, on the heels of ragtime, another American music emerged: Dixieland. In this genre, some of the music is written out and some of it is improvised. The Last Chance Dixieland Jazz Band offers a fine example of traditional jazz in all of its toe tappin' glory.


One of my favourite events to attend on Canada Day is the citizenship ceremony. Reminds me of the great privilege and honour it is to be a citizen of this great country. Yesterday's ceremony took place during the celebration of the 150th Anniversary of Canada.
The judge performing the citizenship ceremony compares the rights and duties of citizenship to the two sides of a coin, "one cannot exist without the other" he tells the audience.
As new Canadian citizens take the Oath of Citizenship it is customary for already Canadian citizens to re-take the oath in appreciation of their country.

International Urdu Conference to be held online from Dec 3
Peerzada SalmanPublished November 29, 2020
KARACHI: The 13th International Urdu Conference organised by the Arts Council of Pakistan Karachi will be held from Dec 3 to Dec 6, announced council president Ahmed Shah at a press conference held on Saturday afternoon.
Mr Shah said this is the 13th edition of the conference and this time round things are different due to the pandemic that the whole world is affected by.
There's lockdown in most parts of the world, as in some parts of Pakistan. Therefore, the event will be held online and its sessions will be available for literature buffs on the council's YouTube channel and Facebook page.
Mr Shah said he feels a bit sad because of the situation because usually every year the three to four conference halls of the cultural space are jam-packed with audiences. After a great deal of consultation within the council members and with the government officials, the advice that they received was that there shouldn't be too much involvement of the public in the event. "It's not open to public."
The other factor, he pointed out, is that generally senior poets and writers between the ages of 70 and 80 grace the conference with their presence. Since now health is the priority, the council didn't encourage senior writers to physically come to the event. However, the moot will take place on the same dates announced previously.
On this year's focus of attention of the programme Mr Shah said the subject that writers, poets and scholars will visit is the 'Review of 100 years of Urdu' (fiction, poetry, criticism, drama and film).
Expected speakers
He said speakers from across Pakistan will arrive in the city but some others will be taking part online. Writers and poets from India such as Prof Shamim Hanfi and Javed Siddiqui will also be digitally connected. Gulzar sahib and Shabana Azmi have been requested too but they're out of their home towns.
Secretary of the council Ajaz Farooqui commended the role that the media have played over the years in promoting the conference. He requested them to cover the event a bit extensively this year because of the restrictions put in place due to the pandemic.

Q: Compute $\lim_\limits{x\to -2^-}\frac{\sin(x+2)}{|4-x^2|}$ without L'Hopital's rule
Compute, without L'Hopital's rule, the limit $$\lim_{x\to -2^-}\frac{\sin(x+2)}{|4-x^2|}$$

Since $x\to -2^-$ , the denominator can be rewritten as $-4+x^2$, but there isn't much more I've been able to do (I tried using $\sin(x+2)=\sin x\cos2+\sin2\cos x$ without getting much out of it). Thanks for your answers.

A: $$\lim_{x\to -2^-}\frac{\sin(x+2)}{|4-x^2|}=\lim_{x\to -2^-}\frac{\sin(x+2)}{x^2-4}=\lim_{x\to -2^-}\frac{\sin(x+2)}{(x+2)(x-2)}=\lim_{u\to 0^-}\frac{\sin(u)}{u(u-4)}=...$$

Anna Cangellaris: At the start, be brave enough to be wrong05.02.2020
We speak to the director of Sophie, which will be screened at 2nd edition of Papaya Rocks Film Festival taking place on February 27th in London.
What does it mean for you to have your film screened at the festival?
Anna Cangellaris: It's such an honour to be included in the Papaya Rocks Film Festival and have the opportunity to share my work with filmmakers and film enthusiasts alike!
I am always EXTREMELY nervous to watch my film screen. But after the first 30 seconds of nerves wear off, it's exciting to feel the audience's reaction to my work.
How did your film come about?
This is my CalArts thesis film and a labor of love, sweat, and tears. I wanted to make a film about how I felt like a woman coming into her own and though it takes place at a party and in a garden, it feels like a mirror to my time in school.
Los Angeles and my first job as a gallery assistant in the art world.
What was the hardest scene for you to do?
Well, it's animated, so the party scene was the hardest to construct. So many characters to draw and boarding backgrounds so that moving through the space made sense visually.
Editing myself for time. I had about twice as many shots planned as there are in the film. Once I got to the last third of production I had to make some hard decisions about what parts to leave out and still be able to tell my story.
Have you always wanted to be a filmmaker?
I always loved to tell stories, but was too shy to identify myself as a filmmaker at first. It's something I fell into once I realized I wanted complete control over every aspect of how a narrative looks, feels and sounds.
Since filmmaking is a marathon I feel that collaboration is key. Two heads can often take you twice as far as one! I especially love bouncing ideas off my friends and collaborators.
Don't edit yourself while the idea is still forming. You have to be brave enough to be "wrong" or "bad" at the start so that you can make something unique and worthwhile at the end.
I am currently animating the pilot for the independent series Hot Toddy written by Mary Sette and am working on a personal animated series called SCAM with my animation partner Danna Windsor.
I hope people will enjoy it and see that animation has the potential to cross genres and be just as emotionally impactful as live-action filmmaking.

Oracle Releases Java 13 with Remarkable New Features
Tripti Rai August 31, 2020
New Features of JDK 13
Oracle releases JDK 13 with several improvements and new features.
The update is claimed to improve the productivity of the developers to a great extent.
The new release comes with features like Dynamic Archiving Class-data sharing, Preview Switch Expressions and more.
Oracle – the software giant has released Java SE and JDK 13 along with the promise to introduce more new features in the future within the six-month cycle.
The Java 13's binaries are now available for download with improvements in security, performance, stability, and two new additional preview features 'Switch Expressions' and 'Text Blocks', specifically designed to boost developers' productivity level. This gives the hope that the battle of Java vs Python will be won by the former.
Remarking on the new release, Oracle said: "Oracle JDK 13 increases developer productivity by improving the performance, stability and security of the Java SE Platform and the JDK,".
This release came out coinciding with the starting of Oracle's co-located OpenWorld and Code One conference, which took place on 16 sept'19 and extended to 17 sept'19 at San Francisco.
Speaking of the Java 13 release, it is licensed under the GNU General Public License v2 along with the Classpath Exception (GPLv2+CPE).
The director of Oracle's Java SE Product Management, Sharat Chander stated "Oracle offers Java 13 for enterprises and developers. JDK 13 will receive a minimum of two updates, per the Oracle CPU schedule, before being followed by Oracle JDK 14, which is due out in March 2020, with early access builds already available."
Let's look into the new features that JDK 13 comes packed with.
JDK 13 supports the implementation of Java Enhancement Proposals mentioned below.
JEP 350- Dynamic Archiving Class-data sharing
The new JEP 350 is introduced to boost the usability of application class-data sharing that enables the dynamic archiving of classes after the completion of the execution of Java applications. All the archived classes will have all loaded applications and library classes, not there in the base-layer CDS archive.
JEP 351- Memory improvements
JEP 351 is a solution to problems related to memory. For instance, before the implementation of JEP 351 in JDK 13, the z garbage collector was incapable to uncommit and return memory to the operating system, even when not in use for a long time. However, with the help of JEP 351, the z garbage will be able to return unused memory to the OS.
JEP 353 – Legacy Socket API
The implementation used by the 'java.net.Socket' and 'java.net.ServerSocket APIs' has been replaced by "a simpler and more modern implementation that is easy to maintain and debug," in the JEP 353. This change aims at making the adaption to user-mode threads or fibers easier, which is being explored in Project Loom currently.
JEP 354- Preview Switch Expressions
This new feature allows developers to use "switch" as both a statement and an expression. From now on, they will be able to employ both the traditional "case… : labels" and the new 'case … -> labels' (with no fall through). As a new addition to JDK 13, this feature is introduced aiming to simplify the everyday coding process and also prepare for the use of pattern matching in a switch.
JEP 355- Text blocks preview
The newly added feature of text blocks preview allows the developers to express strings that take up several code lines in a more simplified manner. With the help of this feature, it is possible to improve both the "the readability and the writeability of a broad class of Java programs to have a linguistic mechanism for denoting strings more literally than a string literal."
Although Java is still considered among the top 10 programming languages of 2019-2020, it is expected that its value and reception will increase with this release, making it a more desirable choice for app development.

The Lord Flat Unit of the proposed Hells Canyon Wilderness Additions. Photo by Ellen Morris Bishop (www.ellenmorrisbishop.com). From my book Oregon Wild: Endangered Forest Wilderness (Timber Press 2004):
By Oregon standards, the Lord Flat Unit is huge. It extends from the Imnaha River on the west to Summit Ridge (the west rim of Hells Canyon) on the east, from Hat Point on the south and to the Dug Bar "road" on the north. Lord Flat is a large plateau that declines gently at first and then precipitously for over a mile in elevation. The unit features Columbia River basalt (dramatically incised by deep canyons), lush meadows, knife-edged ridges, rimrock canyons, forested benches, old-growth ponderosa pine forests, marshes, rock outcroppings and grassland slopes.
Cow, Horse and Lightning Creeks, and their tributaries, are awesome spectacles, dissecting the upland plateau and providing habitat for endangered spring and summer chinook salmon. Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, marten and peregrine falcon are a few of the rare species found in the unit. Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer and cougar are some of the area's other charismatic megafauna.
More than 100 miles of trails are available for horse and foot travel. The Western Rim National Recreation Trail follows Summit Ridge for over 30 miles. The Nee Mee Poo National Historic Trail is part of the route taken by Chief Joseph when he attempted to lead 400 of his people from the Wallowa Valley to Canada to escape the U.S. Army in 1877. After crossing the Snake River in spring flood (with horses, livestock, women, children and elders), fleeing 1,800 miles and engaging in 25 battles and skirmishes with up to 2,000 Army troops, the Nez Perce were finally captured within a mere 30 miles of the Canadian border in Montana.

Q: React: Environment variables returns undefined I have tried to access to the environment variables in two ways and in both I've got the same result. The environment variable is "undefined".
First way
I have follow these steps:

*

*I have installed the module "env-cmd"

*I have created a root file called .env.development with this content:
BACKEND_PROTOCOL = http
BACKEND_DOMAIN = localhost
BACKEND_PORT = 4000

*In the script to start my application I have modified with this commands:
"env-cmd -f .env.development react-scripts start"

*I try to get the value with:

console.log(${process.env.BACKEND_PROTOCOL}://${process.env.BACKEND_DOMAIN}:${process.env.BACKEND_PORT});
console.log(process.env.BACKEND_PROTOCOL);

*I start the development server with:
env-cmd -f .env.development react-scripts start
I have follow this instructions: enter link description here
Second way

*

*I have installed dotenv module

*I have created in the root a file called .env

*I have filled this file with these values:
BACKEND_PROTOCOL = http
BACKEND_DOMAIN = localhost
BACKEND_PORT = 4000

*I make an import of dotenv with:
import config from "dotenv";

*Before to get access to the variables I call to config and the I try to get the values of the environment:
config.config();
console.log(${process.env.BACKEND_PROTOCOL}://${process.env.BACKEND_DOMAIN}:${process.env.BACKEND_PORT});
console.log(process.env.BACKEND_PROTOCOL);

*I start my development server with this intructions:

Tsar Nicolai to Stalin to Putin, Russia has been a dark, cruel, negative, evil empire. Russia has never produced technology, no invention but just produced misery.
What's your solution? How would you fix Russia? How would you turn the negative into positive? What would you do to make Russia less cruel, less evil?
Russia is the only Eastern European country with its own technology, and that's the problem, because it refuses to become another satrapy of NATO.
It's up to you comrade. Plenty information is available. Plenty smart Russians are blocked by Kremlin oligarchs. Bad governance with bad governability so to speak. In other word bad corporate governance and bad workers. Fire Vladimir Putin!
When did I say literature changes Russia? Solzhenitsyn had effect on Russia though. Because not all of Russians are ignorant as you comrade.
Telecommunications entrepreneur Wang Jing, 42, was one of the world's 200 richest people with $10.2 billion at the peak of the Chinese markets in June, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His net worth has since fallen to $1.1 billion. His 84 percent drop so far in 2015 is the worst recorded by the index, which provides a daily ranking of the world's 400 richest people.

The CIA's top officer on the ground in Libya at the time of the Benghazi terror attack will appear before a House panel for the first time Tuesday afternoon -- to deliver what could be critical closed-door testimony, ahead of ex-CIA Director Michael Morell's scheduled appearance on Wednesday.
Two congressional sources confirmed to Fox News that the CIA chief of station will appear before a House intelligence subcommittee. His perspective was long-sought by lawmakers, and the timing is critical -- coming before Morell's first-ever public testimony Wednesday about his role, and that of the administration, in the flawed "talking points" which blamed a protest.
We've come to save Hillary.
When Hillary told her first public lie about the attack (you may remember the Andrews AFB event), my wife commented that SecState looked very uncomfortable - as if she knew she was telling a lie that even SHE wasn't comfortable with.
Ah another closed door meeting where the voters are to stupid to understand the questions and the answers.
This is just another total waste of money and time, I suppose only the elected are able to tell what is truth and what is a lie, gee we do not want the tax payers to really learn the truth. If the voters were there how would we be able to cover our as*es and protect our buddies.
The results of this closed door meeting will be nothing, nada, zero with the standard reply, "No Comment" or "It's Classified" just a nice way of saying it's none of your business besides your to stupid to understand.
your to stupid to understand.
Since when has that psycho skank Hillary ever been uncomfortable telling a lie particularly one she has made up?
yore two stupid too understand.
Democrats don't think we're stupid... (they think of their own voters, not us).
I'm not sure that she was in the loop when the lie was made up - or if she was sure she could get away with it. That could account for her expression as she tried to tell an unfamiliar lie.
Benghazi was Hillary's operation start to finish.
That's why the jug eared clown was nowhere to be found when it all came down.
Hillary's the one that concocted the lies.
I understand her incompetence, based on total lack of experience, but I don't think she's stupid. But what was the motivation for the op in the first place? We could go down the route of "the ambassador knew too much about arms transfers to AQ's Libyan Branch", but even that would have the president's fingerprints all over it.
Maybe I'm over-thinking this after living too many years in the D.C. area and looking for at least some sort of power play logic in everyone's moves.
There an al Qaida document recovered in Afghanistan.
It's a letter from Osama bin Laden to Mullah Omar.
It was listed as doc# AFGP-2002-600321 in what was the CTC at West Point Harmony Database.
That doc is as close to the terrorist playbook as anyone outside of the intel community is likely to get their hands on.
It's not the playbook for the terrorist overseas but the playbook for the people in this country the terrorist are working for.
The playbook for the people with the objective. The people responsible for making the "PREPARATIONS" for the terrorist attacks and following up after the attacks to achieve the objective of the attack.
The objective of the attack in Benghazi was to make it appear as if there is no "PREPARATIONS" for the attack, they are spontaneous.
It's a little more complicated, but that is basically what the objective of the attack in Benghazi was about.
A CYA for Hillary's collaborating with the terrorist and orchestrating the "PREPARATIONS" for the terrorist attacks.
Do you know if this will this be broadcast on one of the Cspans?
Yes - 10:00. Thanks for the reminder. I will ask the Mods to make this a live thread.

Jump Jive and Swing - for the love of Classic Rock & Roll
"There's so little sweetness in the music I hear now, no croons, no doo-wop or slow ones where you could hug up with someone and hold them against your body, feel their heart against yours, touch their cheek with your cheek" HOMAGE: DOO-WOP By Joseph Stroud
"Do you believe in rock and roll? Can music save your mortal soul? and can you teach me how to dance real slow?" AMERICAN PIE Don McLean
Matt Allen has sustained a music career for 40 plus years. This comes as no surprise to those who recognize and treasure the source of his lasting inspiration: Blues – Rockabilly – Honky Tonk. Allen moved to Huntsville in 2006 and has been playing local solo gigs and shows around Muskoka since 2016. He continues to play with his beloved bands- The Tex- Styles and the Swingin' Blackjacks, in Toronto (and area) on a regular basis. Matt is an extraordinary guitarist and singer. His solo show is a delightful mix of well-worn classics and standards along with his own compositions such as "Misery Train", "Little Red Head"," Little Easter". Mr Allen has released only one EP of his sound; so far, "Hi-Fi Sound" which I believe was released somewhere in early 2000. With only 4 songs, this collection is rocking and a full on dancing set of tunes. Mr. Allen started his musical journey very early in life. His family moved around as his parent's career opportunities presented themselves. Matt recalls that one of his first influences were a band he encountered in the Barbados, where his parents were teaching – "The MerryMen" – a band which acquired world wide fame and continues to tour. While this band took its name from Robin Hood and his – you know the rest; suggesting that they were slightly non-conformist, their sound is infectious, joyful and makes you want to move. This seems to have stayed with Matt throughout his career. In his teens, Matt was influenced, like so many of us, by the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Kinks; bands who were largely formed and aspired to be like their idols – Buddy Holly, Elvis and the Everly Brothers and the Chicago bluesmen. During these formative years, although he originally hoped to be a drummer, Matt began to play guitar and it was the eclectic guitar that was calling out to him. As Matt grew older, he was more directly influenced by the early '80's music particularly The Clash. Blondie and Elvis Costello. Matt's fascination with these new sounds led him to an interest in the sound from which these newer bands drew their perspective. Of course, Rockabilly was still very vital in mainstream culture – the movie Grease, the 1978 American musical romantic comedy was a massive hit worldwide- celebrating the music, culture and look of the early days of rock and roll. "Rockabilly is one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music, dating back to the early 1950s in the United States, especially the South. As a genre it blends the sound of Western musical styles such as country with that of rhythm and blues, leading to what is considered "classic" rock and roll." Not only was Rockabilly a style and sound in music, it was a very distinctive style of hair and clothing. In many regards it is living legacy of a pioneering spirit that emerged after the Second World War. A war, which intermingled the music and cultures of the enlisted men who served. One of the predominate sounds that had been emerging as the Americans entered the war, was "Jump Blues" which mixed 12 bar blues patterns, drum "backbeats" with the big band Swing music, which itself had emerged from New Orleans jazz and onward to rhythm and blues and into a stripped down music for people to dance to. These forms of music are highly innovative for musical expression and freedom but they are vastly enjoyable fun for the audience. The big drive of the bass and drums make you want to dance!! This was the sound that by 1985 had really caught Matt Allen's artistic soul and has driven his sound ever since. It not only a sound but also a style that you get when you attend one of his concerts. Matt's guitar styling is very distinctive – full of energy, muscular and exciting – as he overdrives his solos or fills the room with vibrato and reverb. I have to admit that one time I tried to see what his settings were on his amp and it seems that is a highly guarded secret. Another constant in Matt's sound is his singing, which is rich and melodic with a touch of twang, salted with falsetto accents. He has a beautiful singing voice and personal touch. It is a joy to listen to as he takes you inside the simple stories and characters that fill his songs. Matt completes his style and sound with carefully shaped hair, vintage shirts and the ever present sneakers which I suspect are Converse but you can ask him yourself since I forgot to. One aspect of Matt Allen's sound that I had not fully recognized in concert was that a lot of this music was intended for the young to dance real slow and close. This triggered a deep memory for me at how important and real it is to hold close a loved one and sway to the music, or as Joseph Stroud, the San Francisco poet, so eloquently states – "hug up with someone and hold them against your body, feel their heart against yours, touch their cheek with your cheek" Matt Allen is one of the busiest local musical performers working in the Muskoka. Above he is a sincere and gracious artist who believes that his work "must bring good value to the client". You can see him at the following local venues throughout March.

Michigan State football's Josiah Scott out for two months with injury
Chris Solari
EAST LANSING — Michigan State is already down one returning starter early in preseason camp.
Coach Mark Dantonio on Monday said cornerback Josiah Scott will miss "probably two months" with an unspecified injury suffered during a non-contact drill.
"Man, it was real tough to see," junior Justin Layne said of his cornerback partner. "I don't want to see anyone get hurt, but especially Josiah. We're like right and left and left and right — that's my boy.
"I called him the other day to make sure his head was on straight, and I told him to just get ready for when he comes back and we'll pick up where we left off."
Scott, as a true freshman, helped the Spartans finish 37th in the nation in pass defense at 202.3 yards per game. MSU allowed just 15 passing touchdowns and picked off 14 passes in 2017. Opponents connected on 56.5 percent of their passes, and of those 241 completions against the secondary, only 29 went for 20-or-more yards.
Scott and Layne both at times were honored among the nation's best on a given week for their job in press coverage, holding opponents under 200 yards passing in eight games and less than 100 twice. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound Scott earned Big Ten Network All-Freshman Team honors after making 30 tackles with a pair of interceptions in 12 games.

Michigan State football faces familiar challenge of high expectations
"It's a couple months. He'll be back this year," defensive coordinator Mike Tressel said. "He has a lot of football left in him. … I feel bad for him first and foremost, but he's really a mentally strong kid, so I know he'll stay engaged."
Potential replacements, Dantonio said, include junior Josh Butler, true freshman Kalon Gervin, redshirt freshman Shakur Brown and true freshmen Davion Williams and Chris Jackson. Dantonio and MSU senior Tyson Smith announced last week he would miss this season with health issues.
"We'll be all right," Dantonio said. "Every one of the defensive backs we talked about could play at this level and should be very good players for us."
Scott is required to sit out the first half of his first game this season due to NCAA targeting rules. He was ejected from the second half of MSU's Holiday Bowl win for hitting Washington State running back James Williams with his helmet in December.
Dantonio also said defensive end Dillon Alexander is out with a foot injury, which the senior suffered during another non-contact drill.
Alexander started the four of his 11 games last season and finished with four tackles and is in competition with sophomore Jacub Panasiuk and junior Justice Alexander for a starting job.
Center battle
Dantonio said sophomore Matt Allen and junior Tyler Higby have been splitting reps at center with the first-team offense. MSU is trying to find a replacement for Allen's brother, Brian, who was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in April.
"Really, it's Higby and Matt, and Higby has got a little bit more experience," Dantonio said.
Center is the only open spot on the offensive line, and returning left guard David Beedle also is in the mix along with redshirt freshman walk-on Blake Bueter, who Dantonio called "a surprise."
MORE:Like Michigan State football, QB Brian Lewerke has lofty goals
Backup backs
LJ Scott returned for his senior season and will be MSU's top running back. Sophomore Connor Heyward established himself as the second-string option during spring practices.
Finding that third option, Dantonio said, will be a priority in preseason camp.
"You're looking at who is going to be the third guy or fourth guy," he said. "Who is going to be a guy that can play a little bit and maybe get on special teams?"
Dantonio said redshirt freshman Weston Bridges "has been exciting to watch" in returning to the field after a knee injury that cost him the 2017 season.
And two true freshmen, La'Darius Jefferson and Elijah Collins, also will have a chance to compete for reps. Jefferson was a state championship high school quarterback at Muskegon, while Collins arrives from U-D Jesuit, and Dantonio said both have "had some runs and they looked good" without the pads. MSU's first full-contact practice is Tuesday.
"We'll find out a little bit more tomorrow," Dantonio said.
GRAHAM COUCH:For Michigan State's LJ Scott, a big senior year means ending his mother's struggle
Domestic violence policy
Dantonio repeated what he said last week in not wanting to specifically address the situation at Ohio State with coach Urban Meyer and fired assistant coach Zach Smith.
However, the 12th-year MSU coach did discuss a hypothetical as to what would happen if it was his own program.
"Well, as a head football coach, first of all, you know there's a reporting protocol, who reports to us and who we report to, I guess is what I'd say," Dantonio said. "Obviously if we hear about something, then we're going to report it up the chain and if it goes the other direction, it will come up towards us, if we don't know about it. …
"My policy is if that happens, that we are going to separate them from the football program immediately … and let things sort itself out and see what happens."

SINGAPORE – Scientists from A*STAR's Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) have discovered the unique functions of a specific type of histone modification , which may prove crucial in understanding gene regulation and the development of diseases. This development was published in the scientific journal Genome Research.
Histones are proteins found in the cell nucleus, which organise DNA into structural units called nucleosomes, helping to protect DNA as well as control gene expression. There are five main families of histones, and they have different kinds of modifications. Researchers observe patterns of these histone modifications across the whole genome in order to understand the process of gene regulation and of disease progression. For example, a kind of histone modification called histone acetylation has been linked to activation of different sites on DNA for gene replication and enhancing transcriptions. However, much remains to be known about histones and how they function. While there are 35 known histone acetylations, many of them are not characterised properly. The majority of regulatory genomics studies also focus exclusively on two histone acetylations known as H3K27ac and H3K9ac.
GIS scientists, led by Dr Shyam Prabhakar, Associate Director of Integrative Genomics, performed an unbiased comparison of different histone modifications, to test their capacity to highlight a set of active enhancers. They identified a histone acetylation known as H2BK20ac as the most predictive marker of active enhancers. Currently there is no extensive study on H2BK20ac properties. The scientists also discovered that among all histone acetylations, H2BK20ac is the most efficient for identifying cell-state specific active promoters, and that this histone modification is absent at promoters of house-keeping genes which are active in all cell-types. They also found that external signalling to cells can cause heterogeneity of occurrences of histone acetylations especially H3K27ac and H2BK20ac.
"This well-designed and rigorously conducted study has uncovered new chromatin features of enhancers, an abundant class of regulatory DNA. The finding could help better understand the mechanisms of enhancers, which are still pretty rudimentary today," said Prof Bing Ren, Professor of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Institute of Genomic Medicine, University of California, San Diego, USA.

The coast is defined as where the land meets the sea.[1] A precise line that can be called a coastline cannot be determined due to the dynamic nature of tides. The term "coastal zone" can be used instead, which is a spatial zone where interaction of the sea and land processes occurs.[2] Both the terms coast and coastal are often used to describe a geographic location or region; for example, New Zealand's West Coast, or the East and West Coasts of the United States.
A pelagic coast refers to a coast which fronts the open ocean, as opposed to a more sheltered coast in a gulf or bay. A shore, on the other hand, can refer to parts of the land which adjoin any large body of water, including oceans (sea shore) and lakes (lake shore). Similarly, the somewhat related term "bank" refers to the land alongside or sloping down to a river (riverbank) or to a body of water smaller than a lake. "Bank" is also used in some parts of the world to refer to an artificial ridge of earth intended to retain the water of a river or pond. In other places this may be called a levee.
While many scientific experts might agree on a common definition of the term "coast", the delineation of the extents of a coast differ according to jurisdiction, with many scientific and government authorities in various countries differing for economic and social policy reasons.

The main agents responsible for deposition and erosion along coastlines are waves, tides and currents. The formation of coasts is also heavily influenced by their lithology. The harder the material the less likely it is to erode or suffer the effects of erosion. Variants in the rock create different-shaped coastlines.
Tides often determine the range over which sediment is deposited or eroded. Areas with high tidal ranges allow waves to reach farther up the shore, and areas with lower tidal ranges produce deposition at a smaller elevation interval. The tidal range is influenced by the size and shape of the coastline. Tides do not typically cause erosion by themselves; however, tidal bores can erode as the waves surge up river estuaries from the ocean.[3]
Waves erode coastline as they break on shore releasing their energy; the larger the wave the more energy it releases and the more sediment it moves. Coastlines with longer shores have more room for the waves to disperse their energy, while coasts with cliffs and short shore faces give little room for the wave energy to be dispersed. In these areas the wave energy breaking against the cliffs is higher, and air and water are compressed into cracks in the rock, forcing the rock apart, breaking it down. Sediment deposited by waves comes from eroded cliff faces and is moved along the coastline by the waves.
Sediment deposited by rivers is the dominant influence on the amount of sediment located on a coastline.[4] Today riverine deposition at the coast is often blocked by dams and other human regulatory devices, which remove the sediment from the stream by causing it to be deposited inland.
Like the ocean which shapes them, coasts are a dynamic environment with constant change. The Earth's natural processes, particularly sea level rise, waves and various weather phenomena, have resulted in the erosion, accretion and reshaping of coasts as well as flooding and creation of continental shelves and drowned river valleys (rias).
The coast and its adjacent areas on and off shore is an important part of a local ecosystem as the mixture of fresh water and salt water in estuaries provides many nutrients for marine life. Salt marshes and beaches also support a diversity of plants, animals, and insects crucial to the food chain.
The high level of biodiversity creates a high level of biological activity, which has attracted human activity for thousands of years.
A settled coastline in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Once a fishing port, the harbor is now dedicated to tourism and pleasure boating. Observe that the sand and rocks have been darkened by oil slick up to the high-water line.
Houses close to the coast, like these in Tiburon, California, may be especially desirable properties.
An increasing part the global population inhabits coastal regions.[5] Many of the world's major cities have been built on or near good harbors and have port facilities. Jurisdictions that are landlocked have achieved port status by such measures such as building canals.
The coast is a crucial frontier and must be defended against military invaders, smugglers and illegal migrants. Fixed Coastal defenses have long been erected in many nations and coastal countries also require a navy and some form of coast guard.
Coasts, especially those with beaches and warm water are an important draw for tourists. In many island nations such as those of the Mediterranean, South Pacific and Caribbean, tourism is central to the economy. Coasts are popular destinations because of recreational activities such as swimming, fishing, surfing, boating, and sunbathing. Growth management can be a challenge for coastal local authorities who often struggle to provide the infrastructure required by new residents.
Coasts also face many environmental challenges relating to human-induced impacts. The human influence on climate change is thought to be a contributing factor of an accelerated trend in sea level rise which threatens coastal habitat.
Pollution can occur from a number of sources: garbage and industrial debris, the transportation of petroleum in tankers, increasing the probability of large oil spills, small oil spills created by large and small vessels, which flush bilge water into the ocean.
Fishing has diminished due to habitat degradation, overfishing, trawling, bycatch and climate change. Since the growth of global fishing enterprises after the 1950's, intensive fishing has gone from a few concentrated areas to encompass nearly all fisheries. The scraping of the ocean floor in bottom dragging is devastating to coral, sponges and other long-lived species that do not recover quickly. This destruction alters the functioning of the ecosystem and can permanently alter species composition and biodiversity. Bycatch, the capture of unintended species in the course of fishing, is typically returned the ocean only to die from injuries or exposure. Bycatch represents approximately ¼ of all marine catch. In the case of shrimp capture, the bycatch is five times larger than the shrimp caught.

Extraordinary population growth in the 20th century has placed stress on the planet's ecosystems. For example, on Saint Lucia, harvesting mangrove for timber and clearing for fishing drove the mangrove forests to low levels, resulting in a loss of habitat and spawning ground for marine life that was unique to the area. These forests also helped to stabilize the coastline. Conservation efforts since the 1980's have partially restored the ecosystem.
According to one principle of classification, an emergent coastline is a coastline which has experienced a fall in sea level, because of either a global sea level change, or local uplift. Emergent coastlines are identifiable by the coastal landforms, which are above the high tide mark, such as raised beaches. Alternatively, a submergent coastline is a coastline which has experienced a rise in sea level, due to a global sea level change, local subsidence, or isostatic rebound. Submergent coastlines are identifiable by their submerged, or "drowned" landforms, such as rias (drowned valleys) and fjords.
Further information: Emergent coastline and Submergent coastline
According to a second principle of classification, a concordant coastline is a coastline where bands of different rock types run parallel to the shore. These rock types are usually of alternating resistance, so the coastline forms distinctive landforms, such as coves. A discordant coastline is a type of coastline formed when rock types of alternating resistance run perpendicular to the shore. Discordant coastlines feature distinctive landforms because the rocks are eroded by ocean waves. The less resistant rocks erode faster, creating inlets or bays; the more resistant rocks erode more slowly, remaining as headlands or outcroppings.

Coastal landforms. The feature shown here as a bay would, in certain (mainly southern) parts of Britain, be called a cove. That between the cuspate foreland and the tombolo is a British bay.
The following articles describe some coastal landforms:
Much of the sediment deposited along a coast is the result of erosion of a surrounding Cliff, or bluff. Sea Cliffs retreat landward because of the constant undercutting of slopes by waves. If the slope/cliff being undercut is made of unconsolidated sediment it will erode at a much faster rate then a cliff made of bedrock. (Easterbrook 1999).
A Natural arch is formed when a sea stacks is eroded through by waves.
Sea caves are made when certain rock beds are more susceptible to erosion than the surrounding rock beds because of different areas of weakness. These areas are eroded at a faster pace creating a hole or crevasse that, through time, by means of wave action and erosion, becomes a cave.
A Stack is formed when a headland is eroded away by wave and wind action.
A Stump is a shortened sea stacks that has been eroded away or fallen because of instability.
Wave-cut notches are caused by the undercutting of overhanging slopes which leads to increased stress on cliff material and a greater probability that the slope material will fall. The fallen debris accumulates at the bottom of the cliff and is eventually removed by waves.
A wave-cut platform forms after erosion and retreat of a sea cliff has been occurring for a long time. Gently sloping wave-cut platforms develop early on in the first stages of cliff retreat. Later the length of the platform decreases because the waves lose their energy as they break further off shore (Easterbrook 1999).

Animals living along the coast vary enormously, some live along coasts to nest like puffins, sea turtles and rockhopper penguins. Sea snails and various kinds of barnacles live on the coast and scavenge on food deposited by the sea. Most coastal animals are used to humans in developed areas, such as dolphins and seagulls who eat food thrown for them by tourists. Since the coastal areas are all part of the littoral zone, there is a profusion of marine life found just off-coast.
There are many kinds of seabirds on the coast. Pelicans and cormorants join up with terns and oystercatchers to forage for fish and shellfish on the coast.
Coastal areas are famous for their kelp beds. Kelp is a fast growing seaweed that grows up to a metre a day. Corals and anemones are true animals, but live a similar lifestyle as plants do.
At some time in the years immediately preceding 1951, Lewis Fry Richardson in researching the possible effect of border lengths on the probability of war noticed that the Portuguese reported their measured border with Spain to be 987 km, but the Spanish reported it to be 1214 km. This was the beginning of the coastline problem, which is how to arrive at an estimate of a boundary that is infinite.[6]
The prevailing method of estimating a border (or coastline) was to lay off n equal straight-line segments of length l with dividers on a map or aerial photograph. Each end of the segment must be on the boundary. Investigating the discrepancies in border estimation Richardson discovered what is now termed the Richardson Effect: the sum of the segments is inversely proportional to the common length of the segments. In effect, the shorter the ruler, the longer the measured border; thus, the Spanish and Portuguese geographers were using different-length rulers.
The result most astounding to Richardson is that, as l approaches zero, the length of the coastline approaches infinity. Richardson had believed, based on Euclidean geometry, that a coastline would approach a fixed length, as do similar estimations of regular geometric figures. For example, the perimeter of a regular polygon inscribed in a circle approaches the circumference with increasing numbers of sides (and decrease in the length of one side). In Geometric measure theory such a smooth curve as the circle that can be approximated by small straight segments with a definite limit is termed a rectifiable curve.
More than a decade after Richardson's work was finished, Benoît Mandelbrot invented a new branch of mathematics, fractal geometry, to describe just such non-rectifiable complexes in nature as the infinite coastline.[7] His own definition of the new figure serving as the basis for his study is:[8]
I coined fractal from the Latin adjective fractus. The corresponding Latin verb frangere means "to break:" to create irregular fragments. It is therefore sensible ... that, in addition to "fragmented" ... fractus should also mean "irregular."
A key property of the fractal is self-similarity; that is, at any scale the same general configuration appears. A coastline is perceived as bays alternating with promontories. No matter how greatly any one small section of coastline is magnified, a similar pattern of bays and promontories on bays and promontories appears, right down to the grains of sand. At that scale the coastline appears as a momentarily shifting, potentially infinitely long thread with a stochastic arrangement of bays and promontories formed from the small objects at hand. In such a real environment (as opposed to smooth curves) Mandelbrot asserts[7] "coastline length turns out to be an elusive notion that slips between the fingers of those who want to grasp it."
A coastline is definitely to be represented by a fractal. However, there are different kinds of fractals. A coastline is in "a first category of fractals, namely curves whose fractal dimension is greater than 1." That last statement represents an extension by Mandelbrot of Richardson's thought. Mandelbrot's statement of the Richardson Effect is:[9]
where L, coastline length, a function of the measurement unit, ε, is approximated by the expression. F is a constant and D is a parameter that Richardson found depended on the coastline approximated by L. He gave no theoretical explanation but Mandelbrot identified L with a non-integer form of the Hausdorff dimension, later the fractal dimension. Rearranging the right side of the expression obtains:
where Fε-D must be the number of units ε required to obtain L. The fractal dimension is the number of the dimensions of the figure being used to approximate the fractal: 0 for a dot, 1 for a line, 2 for a square. D in the expression is between 1 and 2, for coastlines typically less than 1.5. The broken line measuring the coast does not extend in one direction nor does it represent an area, but is intermediate. It can be interpreted as a thick line or band of width 2ε. More broken coastlines have greater D and therefore L is longer for the same ε. Mandelbrot showed that D is independent of ε.

New plans for Costco gas pumps closer to plaintiffs?
Costco Wholesale has maintained that it would "move forward" with a plan to build a store in Ridgeland since the state Supreme Court ruled in April that the city ordinance that was crafted to accommodate the project was illegal.
Now the plan has been revealed, though not in detail.
The store would still be built on the 45-acre site on Highland Colony Parkway, but gas pumps, the part of the original plan that particularly nettled opponents, would not be included.
Will the nine residents who sued the city be happy?
But the latest is that the Issaquah, Wash.-based chain aims to build the fueling station nearby, on the other side of the parkway and apparently closer to the plaintiffs who challenged the zoning ordinance.
That's what Dave Messner, senior vice president for real estate for Costco told the Mississippi Business Journal on Tuesday in a phone interview.
Costco does not have the gas pumps at all of its stores.
The residents in the upscale neighborhoods contended that the big store and its pumps would create a traffic situation that would devalue their property.
The day after the state Supreme Court appeared to block Costco Wholesale from establishing a store in what developer Andrew Mattiace has designated phase three of the Renaissance at Colony Park, an open-air mall, it served notice that it would "move forward" with a plan.
Sheldon Alston, attorney for the plaintiffs, said Tuesday that "we'll have to wait and see" the plan.
Mattiace said he likewise has not seen the plan being drafted by Costco.
Alan Hart, director of community development for the city, said Tuesday that the plan has not been received. The next meeting of the Architectural Review Board is May 22 at 6 p.m.
On a different tack, the city of Ridgeland asked on May 3 the Supreme Court to reconsider its unanimous ruling against the amended city ordinance that would have allowed a Costco with gas pumps.
James Peden, special counsel to the city on the zoning matter, said that the chances are slim that would happen, but that it is not unprecedented.


The article describes a specific upgrade procedures that you should perform when upgrading to VisualSVN Server 3.7 in a multisite environment from VisualSVN Server 3.4 or earlier version. You should consider the article if you use Multisite Repository Replication feature and have distributed repositories based on VisualSVN Distributed File System (VDFS) technology.
You don't need to consider the article if you upgrade from VisualSVN Server 3.5 and newer or in case you already have VisualSVN Server 3.7 installed and just applying a patch update for it.
The complexity of the upgrade procedure depends on the replication topology of your distributed repositories. VisualSVN Server allows you to have two types of replication topology: star topology or peer-to-peer topology. You have a star replication topology if all of your master VDFS repositories are hosted on the same instance of VisualSVN Server (which is located in your headquarters, for example). You have a peer-to-peer replication topology if master and slave VDFS repositories are mixed on some of your VisualSVN Server instances.
The upgrade procedures described below ensure that the upgrade will cause none or minimal interruption of the replication between multisite repositories. You can upgrade your replication servers in any order if you don't care about the replication interruption. Your repositories are safe even if you upgrade your servers in an arbitrary order.
You can determine which replication topology is being used by looking through your servers and examining whether slave and master VDFS repositories are mixed on some of your VisualSVN Server instances or not.
Connect to VisualSVN Server using VisualSVN Server Manager.
On the left pane of VisualSVN Server Manager, select the Repositories node. All the repositories will be listed in the right pane.
You have the peer-to-peer replication topology if VDFS (master) and VDFS (slave) repositories are mixed on some of your VisualSVN Server instances.
You have the star replication topology if VDFS (master) and VDFS (slave) repositories on any of your VisualSVN Server instances do never mix.
You have a star replication topology if all of your master VDFS repositories are hosted on the same instance of VisualSVN Server. For example, it is a star topology if all master VDFS repositories are hosted on the server in Berlin and all slave VDFS repositories are hosted on the servers in New York and Rome.
Upgrade the server that hosts all the master VDFS repositories to VisualSVN Server 3.7. Replication will not be interrupted because the master-side of the new VDFS protocol is backward compatible with the old version.
Upgrade all other VisualSVN Server instances to version 3.7 one by one.
You have a peer-to-peer replication topology if master and slave VDFS repositories are mixed on some of your VisualSVN Server instances. For example, it is a peer-to-peer topology if the server in Berlin hosts master VDFS repositories for projects mostly developed by German teams and the slave repositories for projects mostly developed by teams in other countries.
The upgrade procedure for a peer-to-peer replication topology is not applicable if you are upgrading from versions older than 3.3. This means that if you are upgrading from VisualSVN Server 3.2.x or older, the replication will be partially interrupted until all of your servers are upgraded.
As a workaround you can perform an interim upgrade to VisualSVN Server 3.4 and then upgrade to VisualSVN Server 3.7.
VDFS protocol versions "3.0" and "3.2" are not supported in VisualSVN Server 3.7.
Upgrade all your VisualSVN Server instances to version 3.7 one by one. You can upgrade your instances of VisualSVN Server in an arbitrary order because VDFS was configured to use a previous version of the protocol.
After that, remove the VdfsProtocolVersion registry value on all of your servers one by one and restart VisualSVN Server services using the corresponding command in VisualSVN Server Manager.
The described upgrade procedures guarantee that replication will not be interrupted even if you have a lot of VisualSVN Server instances around the world.

Graj + Gustavsen to Advise Lamb & Flag
Graj + Gustavsen inked a deal to advise Kellwood Company's Lamb & Flag brand. G+G helped conceptualize the brand identity, image and store design of Lamb & Flag, a new retail concept targeted to men and women 18-24. Inspired by an old English pub,
Inspired by an old English pub, Lamb & Flag is rolling out three Southern California retail locations in Brea, California; Mission Viejo, California; and Cerritos, California. The chain carries branded apparel, as well as complementary third-party brands.
"Today's younger generation is looking for unique brands that reflect an edgy, rock n' roll spirit while still maintaining the traditional feel of the "All American" brands," says Ray Graj, founding partner of Graj + Gustavsen.
"We were pleased to work with the Graj + Gustavsen team, whose retail expertise and insight into today's consumer mindset aided in the creation of the Lamb & Flag brand experience," says Eric Hunter, chief marketing officer of Kellwood Company. "The soul and authenticity of the Lamb & Flag concept comes from the idea that "imperfection is the new perfection"; we call this 'beautiful rebellion' and believe it has tremendous potential."
