Calexico's Edge of the Sun: 'a how-to guide 18 years in the making'
I often think that, once a band hits certain milestones – longevity, moderate commercial success, critical acclaim – it can be difficult to know where to begin. I don't mean the big bands, with the songs you'd recognise if you heard them in an advert or at a festival, their big hits acting as gateway drugs to those who'd like to find out more; but rather those mid-level indie bands beloved by those in the know and yet whose names prompt glazed looks when your colleagues ask you who you went to see at the weekend. By all means, after almost 20 years and nine albums together, Calexico should be one of those bands – which is what makes Edge of the Sun a very interesting album indeed. For here, across 12 tracks, is a summary of all the things that make this band great. It's a how-to guide 18 years in the making.
Recorded in the band's native Tucson, Arizona, but with its feet firmly in the Californian border town that gave the band its name, Edge of the Sun makes space for Calexico's take on the great American rock song between flourishes of the central American sounds the band have experimented with throughout their career. It's a testament to the skill of the band's core duo, vocalist/guitarist Joey Burns and percussionist John Convertino, that the results never lack coherence – even if, sometimes, the songs dip and drag like those dusty desert roads.
The opening double header of "Falling From the Sky", an uplifting, expansive song that juxtaposes nostalgia and hope, and "Bullets & Rocks", gets the album off to a strong start. The latter in particular sounds like a vision quest, aided by the hinterland vocal of the band's frequent collaborator, Iron & Wine's Sam Beam. Neko Case brings her wildness to the hot and restless summer night that is "Tapping On the Line", and Mexican singer Carla Morrison adds a dreamy grace to the mariachi-tinged "Moon Never Rises". Latin instrumental "Coyoacán" finds the band soundtracking heroes and villains, while bilingual "Cumvia de Donde" mashes the traditional with electronic flourishes to riotous effect.

Mike Hovey ran a successful drug trade. He luxuriated in money, women, and status. He even made that profile work for him in prison, where he was at the top. Until it all came crashing down and Hovey had to go on a journey of self-exploration, mindfulness and meditation to recover.
Every path to recovery is different....

'Best tech employer of the year' threatened trainee with £15k penalty fee for quitting to look after his sick mum
And Sparta Global then didn't bother turning up to the Employment Tribunal
Gareth Corfield Mon 21 Dec 2020 // 11:45 UTC
Updated A company hailed as the UK's top tech employer tried to diddle a former trainee out of £2,000 in unlawfully withheld back pay – and a judge was startled when he discovered how Sparta Global treats its new hires.
The London-headquartered firm, which boasts of delivering "top business and technology professionals", in fact forces its trainees to spend three months without pay before locking them into a two-year contract.
If these so-called "Spartans" want out before that two-year period ends, the company threatens them with a £22,000 "training fee", as Croydon Employment Tribunal found.
A Mr N Ofonagoro filed suit against Sparta Global for the return of £2,200 in unlawfully withheld pay after he quit before his two-year contract had ended. Rather than contest the case, Sparta Global paid 26-year-old Mr Ofonagoro the cash, hoping he'd withdraw the case, and then didn't bother turning up for the tribunal hearing.
Employment Judge Ian Truscott QC wasn't fooled, however, and in a damning judgment he accepted all of Mr Ofonagoro's claims.
Sparta Global boasts of supplying IT contractors to the Home Office, mobile network Three and the Ministry of Justice. Yet the quality of their training process will come under scrutiny following this Employment Tribunal ruling.
Describing the former trainee's £23,000-a-year contract, Judge Truscott said trainees would attend unpaid training for three months before their salaries kicked in: "The claimant had no right to terminate the training contract except in the first 14 days and [only] then, providing the claimant had not started any Placement. Thus, for example, if the claimant had resigned on day 15, according to the training contract, he would be liable to repay £22,000."
The £22k demand could be reduced depending on how long the trainee had worked for Sparta Global before quitting. A maximum reduction of 75 per cent was available for people who walked between 18 and 24 months after starting a placement with a client firm.
As for the quality of Sparta's training, the judge's findings were clear:
All training was provided in-house by the respondent and none procured from any external supplier. The trainers did not have any specific level of qualification. The claimant's allocated 'coach' had been coding for 18 months. Most of the training was self-learning… Although the respondent claimed that the trainee would continue to be trained, in practice, at the end of 3 months, the training effectively ceased.
Sparta Global's website quotes one of its "Spartans" as saying: "My time at the Sparta Academy may have even overprepared me!" That person, the website claims, now works for the Home Office.
Before quitting in mid-2019, eight months into his job with Sparta, Mr Ofonagoro asked bosses if he could be placed with a London-based client because his mother was sick and his previous two placements had been outside the capital.
The "best tech employer of the year" rejected his request and when he explained the reasons, responded by threatening to sack him and demanding he pay them his "training costs". When he called the company's bluff and quit, it hit him with an "early termination fee" of £15,000, withholding a total of £2,200 from his final paycheques.
Sparta Global was recently honoured with the title "Best Tech Employer of the Year (50-500 employees)" by the UK-based Women in Tech organisation. A press release on the campaign group's website said of Sparta Global: "They offer free tech training and are constantly running initiatives to address the gender balance."
Sparta Global's own press release about the award said: "Our trainees receive free tech training so our female hires can develop the fundamental skills they need to thrive in their careers – irrespective of background or previous experiences."
Sparta Global's contempt for Mr Ofonagoro also stretched to the legal process. Mr Ofonagoro's solicitors asked for legal disclosure of documents for the employment tribunal. The company "did not provide a substantive response to that letter". Instead it hired notorious London attack dog Mishcon de Reya, which tried to have the case struck out.
Ironically, Mishcon stopped representing Sparta after three months "on the basis of cost" – and even then, as Judge Truscott found, the lawyers "did not assert that the actual cost to [Sparta Global] of the claimant's training was £22,000" and "did not provide details or any corroborative documentation to support any actual costs expended on the claimant's training under the training contract".
The hefty penalty fee for departing trainees was unlawful, the judge found, because Sparta Global either didn't have any information about why the fee was so high or "disclosure of any such material would damage its case". ®
Updated to add:
Sparta got in touch after the publication of this piece to say: "Sparta is passionate about providing graduates with opportunities in the tech industry and ensuring they have the skills and training needed to thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace without any upfront training cost to them.
"For this reason, Sparta would normally defend such claims on a point of principle. However, Sparta took the difficult decision not to defend it because of the timing of the claim in the middle of the pandemic."

Q: Why no dynamic debug messages shown from kernel? I am trying to print the dynamic debug messages produced by any modules. What I do is the same as the instruction stated in the kernel documentation on dynamic debug. I do it for modules instead of files. I use the following command:
cut -f 2 -d "[" /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control | cut -f 1 -d "]" | xargs -i echo 'module {} +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

The above instruction extracts the module names from control file and makes it to print the actual dynamic debug messages issued by netdev_dbg() for example.
I took this command from a paper on page 7 (here is the link) that explains dynamic debug and this example actually prints dynamic debug messages in their system. But in my system it does not print anything!
I have tested the first two cut commands extract the module names correctly but xargs echo command does not print the messages. I tried it on two different laptops.
I use Ubuntu 16.04LTS.

Q: Metric space question in convergence Suppose that we are given a point x and a sequence ($x_{n}$) in a metric space M,and suppose that $f(x_{n})\rightarrow f(x)$ for every continuous,real-valued function f on M.Does it follow that $x_{n} \rightarrow x$ in M?

A: Yes. Define $f: M \to \mathbb{R}$ by $$f(t)=d(t,x)$$
Then since $f$ is a continuous, real-valued function on $M$, $f(x_n) \to f(x)$, i.e. $d(x_n,x) \to d(x,x) = 0$ which means that $x_n$ approaches $x$.


Bahrainis are taxi drivers, clerks in their own shops, gas station attendents –and they don't hesitate to give complete strangers their take on the government. In fact, in another cab, where I slouched in the back, zoned out after a long day of book promotion, the driver broke the silence by asking where I lived. When I said Abu Dhabi, he sighed, "How can my criminal government give millions to Michael Jackson to live here, and then refuse to help its own people pay their electrical bill?" He threw in some ugly adjectives about the royal family and Michael Jackson, which I've deleted out of respect to my childhood fiancé, the aforementioned Michael Jackson, but it made clear one thing: Not all Gulf countries are the same, which I had always assumed, having been to more than one. But I had never been to Bahrain.
Bahrain, like all the GCC countries, has oil, a beautiful corniche to walk along the water, and construction cranes everywhere in an ever-increasing skyline of skyscrapers. It also provides a social life that revolves around the huge malls as elsewhere in the Gulf. But surfaces can be deceiving. Emiratis do not curse their government in public—that is simply not okay, and quite frankly, they have very little reason to curse it. The ruling families in the UAE have in general been very generous to their citizens. The people certainly do not have weekly street protests, as they do in Bahrain. I've never heard of a protest in Abu Dhabi of any kind, and I doubt such things would be allowed—although, again, I'm not sure what the people would have to protest, which is perhaps why, unlike Bahrain, they don't have elections either. Unlike the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait, Bahrain's most reliable source of income is not oil, but rather Saudi tourists who cross the causeway every weekend to party, i.e. drink. In Bahrain, bars and restaurants that serve alcohol do not have to be in hotels, as they do in the UAE, and residents in Bahrain live in dread of the weekend traffic jams from the street-clogging arrivals from Saudi, where no one can drink at all, at least legally. Bahraini men where the traditional kandora and headdress and the women the abaya and shayla –but not all of them, and, as I did my book signing at mall, I marveled at the creativity the women had with the shayla, from the colors to how they wrapped it. Most of the people who came up to talk with me were Bahraini, which I don't imagine would be the case in the UAE. For one thing, Bahrainis make up 50% of the country's population, where in the UAE the figure is more like 15 percent. Perhaps because they are more present in the work force and perhaps because the entire country's population is so small compared to its neighbors, the Bahrainis seem to mix in with the other 50% quite comfortably, and they are a very chatty nation. Government protests aside, they smile a lot, make eye contact easily, and love to just make small talk. In the UAE, people of all nationalities tends to keep to themselves. I could go on about the little differences, such as Bahrainis are proud of their art galleries and restaurants, with top-notch international cuisine*being more of a source of pride than it is in Abu Dhabi, but I'll just end by saying there's no denying that people in Bahrain get "island fever," as they described it, and so they need to escape—and most likely escape will be to the UAE, particularly Dubai. And as for Michael Jackson—in the UAE, he's a one-of-a-kind pop icon, just as he is in the rest of the world, but in Bahrian residents both understand and are baffled by his decision to live there for several years.
*Of Bahrain's many restaurants, the one that caught my eye was "The War Gourmet." I knew right away it would be Lebanese, and it was the best Levantine food I'd had outside of the Levant ever.


On 2005, through the National Library Board (NLB), Singapore organized a nationwide campaign about promoting a society of Singaporean readers. This campaign was designed to give an opportunity for the kids, youth and adult, to develop their desire to read. In the long run, this campaign is hopeful to turn the Singaporean people into a bibliophile nation.
Bibliophile's reads bounteous books. Definitely if you read a lot, you will gain more knowledge and understanding about so many things. And if you will notice, those people who are considered "intelligent" are always seen reading books.
A person who reads a lot of high-quality novel makes him forget about everything else. Just look at those who are reading under the trees, who are seems to be so relax and calm. They seem to have that intimate connection with the story.
A person, who loves reading, look at the words thoroughly. They look at the spelling, the grammar and the meaning of the words they are reading. Of course, you can't understand what you are reading, if you don't understand every word indicated there.
They are the one whose memory muscles works all the time. When you read, you have to remember some details, facts and figures. This will create new pathways for your brain to recall and toughen your existing ones.
Those people who are considered as a bibliophile thinks more and seems to have better viewpoints than others who don't read a lot. When you read, it magnifies your knowledge because you have to use your brain, you have to think more and you have to widen your frame of reference.
Enhanced vocabulary and stronger analytical skills are the results of reading a lot, which an excellent writer posseses.
According to a survey conducted by Gallup, from being the lowest in the world on positive experience index on 2011, Singapore managed to be on top of the world ranking last year (46 percent in 2011 to 70 percent last 2012). This was considered as the biggest lift among the 143 countries surveyed by the international surveying company.
What can positivity brings to the Singaporeans?
When you think of positive things, you see the goodness of other people. Instead of focusing in their imperfections, you pay attention in the things that they do best. This will give a great opportunity for you to have a strong and meaningful relationship with them.
When you think positively, you will be able to get away from some of the stresses that lead to sickness. Studies show that one of the predisposing factors of having health problems like heart disease, asthma, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease are caused by stress related factors. It is also a fact that good health will give you longer life.
When you are positive, you can easily make something great out of all negative situations. Popular leaders are positive thinkers, they are good in decision making and they are able to influence others effortlessly.
When you envision yourself doing something and you believe that it will happen with no uncertainty, definitely it will turn into reality. Having a positive outlook that good things will come your way in whatever situation you are in contributes to making it come true.
Gone are the days where staying at home can't do anything but watch TV. Today, the world seems to be very reachable because of the advent of the Internet. You can do pretty much everything if you have Internet access at home, including purchase of art pieces. So whenever you want to buy or just admire artworks, you don't have to drive a mile away just to go to the nearest art gallery Singapore.
One advantage of traditional art gallery that somehow lacks in online gallery is the validity of art authenticity. In online gallery, since pictures can be edited, flaws and authenticity marks can easily be removed or added to look appealing to the consumers, which is quite risky if you're aiming to purchase an expensive piece of art. In traditional art gallery, you get to scrutinize and view the artwork much closer to validate its authenticity. If you're an art enthusiast with an eye that can spot authentic from fake, you'll greatly benefit in traditional art gallery than in online gallery.
If you're an artist aiming for an exclusive art exhibition, an online gallery may not be good choice. Since the Web is easily accessible by anyone, you cannot achieve the exclusivity you're aiming for. For world-renowned artists or artists who intent to do an exhibit for a certain group of people, traditional art galleries can help control the number and kind of audiences in your exclusive art exhibit.
Online art galleries have solved location and mobility problems for art enthusiasts. Online art galleries did not only make it possible for viewers to view works of art from all over the world, but it also serves as an excellent platform for both aspiring and prominent artists to showcase their works on a much larger scale.
Another advantage that online art gallery has is that the viewers can view and buy art works at their own leisure. Though there's much charm associated with actually viewing an artwork in person at vinci affordable art singapore but only a few people can actually afford to do it. With the travel costs, work related problems, and daily commitments, one cannot afford to simply go and leisurely view artworks with all those baggage left behind. This is where online art galleries have definite edge over traditional galleries. You can now purchase art pieces without spending a single cent for travel expenses.
Furthermore, when you sign-up for an online gallery membership, you'll automatically receive email updates of next events. You may also receive catalogs of artworks through email so you can browse at your convenient time. Previous exhibits and paintings are also recorded and forwarded to you for your reference. For events held simultaneously, you can inquire or check online on how to attend the art exhibitions in person. An online gallery website allows you to view art at your own convenience.
If you're an aspiring artist, selling your works on a Singapore online gallery allows larger scale of viewers to browse through your works. Also, websites today are much more affordable than traditional gallery spaces in Singapore. Through online, you don't only expand your reach but save a lot from gallery rental expenses as well.

Here in Singapore, there is always something for someone.
There was an accident at the Ayer Rajah Expressway on October: a taxi was trampled by a tipper truck. By the look of the cab, everyone feared for the life of the driver and passenger, but miraculously, both were alive. After 90 minutes of rescue, the Singapore Civil Defence Force was finally able to pull the two and brought them to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Prevention is better than cure, right? This saying is also applicable to our cars. If you are a cab driver, or own any vehicle that's used regularly, you should bring your unit to the mechanic for regularly maintenance.
Whether you are riding a cab or your own car, you should remember to wear the seatbelt. Simply wearing your seatbelt dramatically increases your chance of avoiding grave injury should an accident happen to you while riding. Some victims of car accidents die because they ignored their seatbelts.
If you are ever caught in a wreck, do your best to stay calm. If it's possible, take a moment to breathe deeply and assess the situation before making any actions. Avoid panicking as this will cloud your judgment, and it will be bad for your blood circulation, and might make any injury you have sustained to get worse.
Call the police or any emergency hotline. If, for some reason, you can't call the police, call someone you can trust who can relay your situation to the police. When you make the call, state where you are calling from, what happened, and your condition.
Epi-LASIK is a fairly new to the industry of laser eye surgery, but certainly the most advanced. It combines the best features of other laser refractive procedures, such as PRK, LASEK, and LASIK. Basically, this latest technique of eye surgery involves separating of epithelial tissue from the corneal surface. A tool called epikeratome is used rather than a blade slicing deep into the corneal layers to create a flap, like what LASIK surgery does. The acronym Epi-LASIK means "Epi" for Epithelial and LASIK for Laser in Situ Keratomileusis.
Here are some of the most asked questions by Singapore patients who wish to undergo the most advanced laser eye surgery.
Both Epi-LASIK and PRK performs the treatment on the corneal surface, but with PRK the corneal surface layer is cut and removed, which results to a much longer healing period compared to the other laser eye surgery. Furthermore, the latest laser refractive method doesn't use alcohol solution during the surgical process and lesser post-operative complications are reported by Singapore patients compared to PRK.
Epi-LASIK usually takes 10 minutes to perform. You will be prepared by numbing your eye with anesthetic drops and holding your eye open with a special eye tool. Your Singapore ophthalmologist like clear lasik by tony ho in Singapore will then use an oscillating blade to gently create an epithelium flap on top of your cornea. Then, the flap is folded out of the way and the cornea is reshaped with an eye laser tool. After which, epithelium flap is returned to its position and a special lens is placed atop the eye to act as a bandage.
3. "What should I expect after the surgery?
Epi-LASIK's recovery time is usually longer than traditional LASIK surgery. After the procedure, your eye surgeon will place a special contact lens on the surface of your cornea to protect the newly operated eye. After three days, you can already remove the contacts and may have nearly perfect sight, or could also take a week or more to stabilize. It may take up to more than a week before you will be able to drive. During the post-operative period, you may experience some discomfort, which should be manageable through medications.
The recovery period from Epi-LASIK surgery may actually be longer than conventional LASIK, but definitely shorter that other types of laser eye surgeries. With LASIK, Singapore patients may notice improvements hours after surgery and may regain functional vision the next day. With the newer eye surgery, it may take a week until you will be able to gain back your driving sight. However, this surgery has lesser discomfort during post-operative period compared to LASEK and PRK.
Epi-LASIK is considered much safer than traditional LASIK surgery because of it is not as invasive. Singapore surgeons only cut smaller amount of corneal tissue and the eye completely heals afterwards.
The newest technology is also an advancement to give chance to Singapore patients with abnormal or thin corneas and dry eye conditions to correct their vision. Though the recovery time of the newest surgical procedure is much longer than LASIK, it is shorter compared to PRK and other laser refractive procedures. Most Singapore patients who had the surgery before have also reported that they have experienced minimal to no pain and less "dry eye" conditions during their recovery.
A thousand of wedding ideas will definitely make the most creative wedding ever, and the best way to solicit wedding ideas is through a wedding forum. Brides in Singapore often use bridal forums to gain ideas for their wedding. A lot of wedding planners and experts in Singapore form an online community to help soon-to-be brides. But before going around to different forums, know first these proper etiquettes on how to behave on an online wedding forum.
Administrators of a wedding portal need to ensure that the posts in the forum should never go off topic. That's why they set rules in posting comments that every member should follow. The rules will serve as a constant reminder for the members on how to behave properly in the forum.
Avoid text and chat lingos. Discussions in a wedding forum can be really extensive and, most likely, deals with unfamiliar words. You don't have to be an outstanding writer to be a member of a the best wedding forum in Singapore but you just have to be substantial in your every post. Using text and chat shortcuts are oftentimes the source of confusions and misunderstandings. So spell out those words properly and make sure your thoughts are well-delivered. After all, there are no character limits in online forums.
Just because a user hides behind an avatar portrait with an unrealistic nickname doesn't mean manners should be forgotten. Practicing respect and common courtesy still is very important in an online portal. Although it is hard to convey the real tone of your post, the proper choices of words can help deliver the message you intend to say. Capitalization also matters. Using an ALL CAPS form to a certain phrase or sentence may convey the tone of shouting. Lastly, avoid flame wars. These are heated responses between people. When the words used are harsh and insults are thrown back and forth, definitely it isn't a healthy discussion anymore.
4. Do not take everything personally.
Remember that you cannot please everybody. Although you have the right to say your opinion, respecting and understanding others will make the discussion run smoothly. Constructive criticisms may have the power to hurt your feelings. So, do not dwell too much on it or else your next posts will be highly affected and may cause you to be ousted from the wedding forum.
A wedding forum can be a place for exchange of ideas. This will not only help soon-to-be brides but will also create an intellectual community regardless of the anonymity of the members.

It's probably bizarre, but I've never been a big holiday fan. I love my home and am happiest here, and when going away I spend ages trying to settle in to the new place, only to find that, when I've finally got everything just so, it's somehow time to pack up and go back again. So I didn't have high expectations of Corfu.
But it's just lovely, and you should all go. In fact, of the five of us on this holiday, I probably enjoyed it the most, and that's pretty unprecedented. The villa we hired (via Airbnb for the first time) was exactly as advertised, and had a large balcony which was permanently in shade, on which I sat and read through the hottest parts of the day. We made a few attempts at sight-seeing, visiting Princess Sisi of Austria's rather amazing recreation of a Greek temple, the Achilleon Palace, and then trying to see a genuine temple to Apollo, which turned out to be a couple of stones covered with a tarpaulin. I can only imagine the EU funding ran out, or maybe got diverted to something more pressing.
The rest of the time it was too ragingly hot during the day to do much, which always suits me just fine. By the time 6pm came around, we were ready to find a beach, and all of them had lovely tavernas right down by the sea and seemed happy for us to play cards noisily for hours. One night, we went to the White House, where Gerald Durrell wrote My Family and Other Animals. It seemed rather appropriate to be sitting there with our own particular blend of family life. One other great thing about Corfu, the glasses of wine they serve you are massive. Do go, you'll love it.
Sounds tempting…… I just need to find someone to go with!
It looks lovely, very tempting. I've never been to Greece, perhaps this is where I should start!
Definitely give it a go, Polly. The thing that put me off for years was the thought that it would be too hot, but in fact Corfu was lovely and breezy despite the heat.

Kernan set for Galway talks
Thursday, July 22, 2010 - 12:57 PM
Joe Kernan is due to meet Galway County Board officials in the coming days to discuss his future as the county's senior football manager.
Kernan's first season in charge of the Tribesmen was clouded in disappointment, with a mid-table finish in NFL Division 1 followed by a Connacht SFC semi-final defeat to Sligo and an All-Ireland qualifier exit at the hands of Wexford.
Kernan, who brought Sean O Domhnaill and Tom Naughton on board as his selectors, is evidently keen to stay in charge out west.
"I'll probably have a chat next week sometime with my backroom team, but I'll meet the County Board first," he told the Galway Independent.
"When we sit down, if they have a problem with it, we'll shake hands and I'll go away.
"But I'd like to stay on if everything is right and we'll go ahead with it again because I don't think the last six months gave us a true picture of what has happened here in the last nine years since Galway last won the All-Ireland.
"If we are staying, we'll have to do some better preparation but I can say nothing until I sit down with the County Board and see what they feel. I know what the players feel - the players are mad to go at it again."
Injuries blighted Galway's campaign, with lynchpin forward Padraic Joyce missing the National League and two more key attackers, Michael Meehan and Nicky Joyce, struggling for fitness during the Championship.
Kernan is obviously eager to get a fully fit squad together for next season in his bid to get Galway back challenging for top honours.
"We never got a settled team out once all year," admitted the former Armagh boss.
"I was just hoping that if we got over the Sligo match and we got a settled team that you'd never know what might happen.
"Should we have won those two matches? Of course we should, that is our fault.
"As team management we have to take that on the chin, that's our fault. But a lot of things have obviously gone wrong in the last eight or nine years and Galway have not been successful and we have to look at that.
"But I am probably more disappointed than most. When I know there is more in people it is soul destroying. We didn't do ourselves justice.
"You have to learn from these things. If we learn we can move on but, if we don't, the same things will be said again this time next year."

In November 2016, I set off to the South Pacific Island nation of Samoa with Hashtag Travel Society and four other inspirational female influencers. Samoa always seemed like a fairytale destination, one that was only in my dreams. A place where you daydream of laying on the white sand beaches drinking coconuts until my hearts content, swimming in the clearest water my eyes have ever seen… and thats exactly what I ended up doing.
From the moment we stepped off the plane, I knew we had landed in paradise. We were greeted at the Airport by a local Samoan three piece band singing beautiful melodies that echoed across the airport. Happy smiles greeted us everywhere we looked, no frowns in Samoa!
We all piled into the Van for the 45 minute drive to the other side of the island to the Sinalei Reef Resort and Spa where we would spend the next three nights. The sun was rising just as we were driving down the Coconut Palm Tree lined road to the resort where we were greeted with fresh cold Coconuts to drink, could this place be any more perfect already?
I was escorted to my room by one of the many friendly local staff, through lush gardens, past the palm tree lined horizon pool to my Beach Front room. The doors to my room opened right onto the beach of the reef fringed lagoon, water lapping at my doorstep, I felt like I was dreaming.
Over the next 4 days we explored the Island of Upolu, from snorkeling the reef out the front of the resort, visiting one of Samoas most pristine beaches Lalomanu Beach and the famous Taufua Beach Fales, Sopoaga Falls and one place that has been on my bucket list for years.. To Sua Ocean Trench. I have never been to anywhere so magical and should be on everyones bucket list. We also spent the day exploring the coastline of Upolu by boat, cruising past the Lava tubes, deserted beaches and ended up on a deserted island with some of the whitest sand and clearest water I have ever laid eyes on.
I experienced a full body massage in a fale over the lagoon, drank coconut mojitos at sunset whilst being serenaded by a local Samoan band, ate fresh seafood caught by the resort staff and we were treated to Fiafia night, a celebration of traditional food and dancing by the resort staff then fell asleep in my beachside fale to the sound of the water lapping at the shore every night... pure bliss.
After 3 days exploring the island of Upolu, it was time to catch the ferry to Samoas second largest island, Savaii, where we would stay at the divine Le Lagoto Resort and Spa. This cute little boutique resort is set right on the clear turquoise waters of the lagoon, a perfect spot to take in the South Pacific sunsets.
We then spent the next 3 days eating delicious food, drinking Pina Coladas at sunset, exploring the island via car, visiting the must see Alofaaga Blowholes and Afu Aau Waterfall (also known as Olemoe falls) and snorkelling in the waters right out the front of our resort.
Samoa should be on everyones list of places to visit. It still feels untouched, less touristy than other holiday destinations with just as much to offer and just as affordable. I was searching for paradise and I found it, I fell in love with Samoa.


These pretty travelling candlesticks are pomegranate shaped with open metal work in the shape of a leaf at the top. The pomegranate is frequently used Jewish symbol. It is one of the Seven Species of fruits that are special products of the Land of Israel. Its rich red fruits represent knowledge, wisdom and fruitfulness.
It is the custom of Jewish women throughout the ages that after lighting the candles whilst their hands still cover the face, they pray for the well-being of loved ones. You can mention each of them by name and if you have a specific prayer for any of them – this is the time.

Q: Start a process as LocalSystem using ProcessStartInfo I am trying to start a process as the LocalSystem account using this code
    ProcessStartInfo _startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(commandName);
_startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
_startInfo.UserName = @"NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM";
_startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
_startInfo.Arguments = argument;
_startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;

using (Process _p = Process.Start(_startInfo)) {
  _retVal = _p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
  _p.WaitForExit();
}

But I am getting always the same error message saying "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password". The user calling the function is a local admin and should be able to start a process with local system privilege. I also tried different combination but no luck.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

A: Unfortunately, I don't think you can do it so simply.
The underlying API that Process.Start() calls accepts a username and password, but since the SYSTEM user isn't a regular user and doesn't have a password I don't believe you can use it with this API.
You would have to use something like psexec (which you can, of course, call from Process.Start()).

A: I had some difficulties with this a while back. In the end managed it. What you're probably missing is some permission or other. See my previous question/answer.


Looking for Drug Rehab and treatment centers in Quaker Hill, Connecticut?
There are several alcohol and drug rehab centers solutions to individuals living in the Quaker Hill region. You will need to understand each one of the types of rehab choices that are available in Quaker Hill, AB., in order to pick the ideal rehabilitation option for yourself or a loved one. Choosing the right drug treatment center in Quaker Hill is the central factor in the process of treating of drug abuse, addiction and alcoholism. This data will help ensure you understand your numerous treatment choices allowing an individual to have the maximum probability of a successful end result.
Let's check out the different drug treatment programs in Quaker Hill, Connecticut possibilities that correlate with the condition of the individual seeking rehabilitation.
Inpatient drug rehab in Quaker Hill, AB. can be a rehabilitation possibility ideal for those who need medical treatment in the course of treatment or clients with substantial drug abuse histories. Women and men can develop both mental and physical dependence to alcohol and drugs even after a short period of time, so inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Quaker Hill is among the best rehabilitation choice in almost all situations. Because of dependence and addiction, men and women will frequently be unable to recover with the minimal solutions offered by outpatient treatment facilities in Quaker Hill, Connecticut where drugs are still easily accessible when they leave the outpatient center. In addition, men and women in rehab who receive outpatient rehabilitation instead of inpatient alcohol and drug rehab in Quaker Hill continue to be vulnerable to detrimental relationships and conditions that might compromise their process of recovery. If someone lives with an abusive companion or maintains associations which entail drug abuse, any treatment endeavours in outpatient treatment are done in vain. For this reason in-patient drug and alcohol treatment in Quaker Hill, AB. is going to result in more tangible results that may prove lasting as opposed to an outpatient drug treatment facility where benefits could be very minimal and short-lived.
In Quaker Hill there is both short-term and long-term inpatient drug and alcohol rehab. Short-term is often a 30-day center, while long-term inpatient drug rehab in Quaker Hill, Connecticut is more in depth and rehabilitation can last 90-120 days on average. This is an ideal setting for clients as it is a completely drug free environment where they can heal both mentally and physically without interruptions. Preferably, people proceed inside a long-term in-patient drug and alcohol treatment facility in Quaker Hill for the optimum period of time permitted, so that they can deal with anything which might cut across their abstinence when they leave rehabilitation. Because of the fact that detoxing and becoming physically stable can require two to three weeks by itself, the three to six months in long-term in-patient drug rehab in Quaker Hill will be time well spent and significantly more efficient than short-term centers.
The main aspect of all if you or someone you love is struggling with a drug abuse or addiction concern is to get it resolved right away, call someone and talk to trained addiction professionals and have an assessment and rehab options to guarantee the best potential for a recovery.


Spanish La Liga side Levante UD have rejected offers of about five million Euros for their Ghana striker Emmanuel Boateng.
The 22-year-old striker has emerged on the radar of several clubs in France and Germany following an outstanding debut season in Spain.
The Ghana International grabbed the headlines in Spain last season when his hat-trick against Barcelona condemned the Catalans to their only defeat in the La Liga.
Having already scored against Real Madrid, the player who arrived from Moreirense in Portugal became a hot commodity in Spain.
The striker struggled at the beginning of his career in Spain but former manager Juan Ramón López Muñiz gave him minutes for him to progress. His potential was soon unleashed when manager Paco López took over.
Meanwhile, between March and June, according to CIES Football Observatory, the value of Boateng went from 5.5 million to 8.5.
Boateng's performances have seen him earn a call-up to the senior national team of Ghana, where he played in the doubleheader friendly against Japan and Iceland. The former Black Satellite striker scored his first International goal against Japan in May.
Emmanuel Boateng has joined Levante for preseason ahead of the upcoming campaign and the forward is expected to be given a contract extension to fend off potential suitors.

NEW HEALERS, THE (TV) (1972 USA)
Directed by Bernard L. Kowalski
Starring: Leif Erickson, Robert Foxworth, Kate Jackson
Genres: Drama, TV Pilot
The New Healers was a one-hour pilot film for the unsold series Med-Ex. The "crusty head physician" assignment was given to Leif Erickson, playing the supervisor of a small rural California hospital. Erickson's son, who'd done a tour of duty as a Vietnam medic (and thus is the "sensitive" character in this concept), is played by Robert Foxworth. Other staff members are Kate Jackson, playing a nurse just before her longer stint as a "woman in white" on The Rookies, and priggish administrator Jonathan Lippe. The plot involves the staff trying to gain the confidence of the local farmers and merchants. Expanded from 60 to 75 minutes in syndication, The New Healers never gets around to explaining who the "old" healers were.

Russia is an enormous market with a big number of Internet users, so it is a very good pick if you wish to expand your presence on the World Wide Web. Whether you sell goods and services online or you are simply searching for more people to share ideas with, the best means to reach Russia online is through a dot RU domain name. There are also some Russian-speaking territories in the nearby states, so your target population will be even larger.
If you would like to buy your .RU domain, you can do it through our company and we will help you with the registration process. If all the contact information you have provided is valid, your new domain can be operational in a matter of minutes. Even though there are no regulations as to who can register such a domain, certain information needs to be supplied before submitting the registration request – individuals have to provide passport details and a date of birth, whilst business establishments have to provide their taxpayer identification number and legal address. Without any of these details, the registration will not go through, so along with the actual registration process, we offer you help to make sure that the registration will go through without any issues.
You can secure a dot RU domain name for one year at a time and have full control over it through our Hepsia Control Panel. You can create and update DNS records, park and forward your domain, et cetera. The extension does not support Whois Privacy Protection, but if one performs a WHOIS lookup on a dot RU domain, no personal details will be displayed by the Registry at all.
With REN Hosting's custom-developed Domain Manager (included in REN Hosting's Web Hosting Control Panel), you will be able to administer all your .RU domain names seamlessly. You will be able to effortlessly change the WHOIS data and the DNS resource records. In addition, you can quickly lock 'n' unlock a domain and take full advantage of our elaborate instructional articles and expert round-the-clock technical support.
In case you also have a hosting account with us, our avant-garde Web Hosting Control Panel will allow you to administer both your domains and your websites.

The Pep Club started making changes in the club and came up with new ideas to make it more fun.New sponsor, Darci Poland, said that for her, the goal of Pep Club was to bring school spirit and to support the athletes.
"I just wanted to bring new ideas for the club," Poland said.
According to Poland, the sponsors decided to make new changes to the club just to get new ideas and to do things differently from the years before.
Poland also said the kids would be decorating the gym and she thought they would enjoy it and have a lot of fun.
She also said that she decided to be sponsor because she wanted to help to give new ideas.
Co-sponsor Kathryn McAllister said that for her, the goal of Pep Club was to spread school spirit, support other Skyline activities and provide the students opportunities to be involved in school activities.
She said that they decided to make changes in the club because she wanted students to be a bigger part of the decision-making, planning and organization of the club.
They brought back officers for Pep Club to make the students take on leadership roles.
"I enjoy seeing the kids having fun," McAllister said.
The theme for homecoming was "Go for the Gold." They wanted to provide a friendly competition between the high school classes and give all students the chance to participate in showing their school spirit with dress up days, class contests, team skits and assembly decorations.
She also said that she decided to be sponsor of Pep Club because she and Poland enjoy being with the kids and they think that it is a good opportunity to get the students excited about supporting each other through the club.
Junior Sydney Koirth is one of the officers and she said she wanted to be officer because it looks good for college and because it is fun.
"I have a lot of fun in the club and I like to contribute giving new ideas," Koirth said.
The thing she likes most about Pep Club is that she can be creative. She also said that she likes the club because she gets to interact with the students and she gets a lot of energy.

Parsing Obama
So, here comes Barack Obama's long-awaited speech to the Muslim world, to decidedly mixed reaction. I am not going to dwell at the moment on the specifics of his Israel policy (for a very pessimistic assessment see this post by Ron Radosh, though there are many Israel supporters who do not share Ron's endorsement of the settlements). I also agree that the part of the speech dealing with Iran was rather weak, full of lofty sentiment signifying nothing. But some of the scathing criticism directed at Obama strikes me as rather misguided. For instance, Charles Krauthammer found it to be infected by "self-absorption"; but was Obama's talk of the aspects of his personal story that were relevant to the issues at hand all that different from what, say, Ronald Reagan did?
Does it really matter that Obama never used the words "terror" or "terrorism," referring instead to "violent extremism"? The power of the T-word has been somewhat diluted by overuse; besides, to many (non-terror-sympathizing) Muslims it is undoubtedly a red-flag word, due to their common belief that the West looks at a Muslim and sees a terrorist. I think it was a positive thing to say, and drive home the point, that terrorism by any other name would smell as foul.
The President's powerful affirmation of the memory of the Holocaust, and firm condemnation of Holocaust denial, was a key part of the speech. Some believe that, by transitioning immediately to the plight of displaced Palestinians, Obama drew a moral equivalence between the Holocaust and Palestinian displacement. Re-reading the speech, I see no such equivalence (though someone who wants to believe the two tragedies are equal could read it that way). I think Obama was simply saying that the Palestinians have their own history of suffering which cannot be denied. Should he have said more to acknowledge the Palestinian (and Arab) leaders' own responsibility for perpetuating this suffering? Probably. Did he go too far in suggesting that each side's view of the conflict was equally valid? Probably. But here's an important point: the speech was intended as outreach to the Muslim world. To say "Israel is 100% right and the Palestinians bear 100% of the blame," even if it were true (and I don't believe it is) would not be very productive. Confronting a Muslim and Arab audience with the fact that Israel's stiff-necked stance has something to do with "the constant hostility and attacks throughout its history from within its borders as well as beyond" is a pretty good start.

From Russia, with nuttiness
Anti-American nuttiness in Russia, a subject I have previously plumbed, is the gift that keeps on giving.
Now there's this:
For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010. For most of that time, he admits, few took his argument — that an economic and moral collapse will trigger a civil war and the eventual breakup of the U.S. — very seriously. Now he's found an eager audience: Russian state media.
Prof. Panarin, 50 years old, is not a fringe figure. A former KGB analyst, he is dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry's academy for future diplomats. He is invited to Kremlin receptions, lectures students, publishes books, and appears in the media as an expert on U.S.-Russia relations.
Mr. Panarin posits, in brief, that mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation will trigger a civil war next fall and the collapse of the dollar. Around the end of June 2010, or early July, he says, the U.S. will break into six pieces — with Alaska reverting to Russian control.
In addition to increasing coverage in state media, which are tightly controlled by the Kremlin, Mr. Panarin's ideas are now being widely discussed among local experts. He presented his theory at a recent roundtable discussion at the Foreign Ministry. The country's top international relations school has hosted him as a keynote speaker. During an appearance on the state TV channel Rossiya, the station cut between his comments and TV footage of lines at soup kitchens and crowds of homeless people in the U.S. The professor has also been featured on the Kremlin's English-language propaganda channel, Russia Today.
That's from the December 29 Wall Street Journal. Meanwhile, on the same day, the website of the pro-government Izvestia, which originally publicized Panarin's … shall we say, fanciful claims on November 24, ran a short piece titled "Now, America also knows it's due for a collapse." While the title is somewhat sarcastic, the piece, apparently, is not. It claims that Panarin's interview sparked "a stormy discussion and many articles both in Russia and around the world," and notes that "even White House spokeswoman Dana Perino had to fend off questions about the disintegration of the USA." (According to the WSJ: "The article prompted a question about the White House's reaction to Prof. Panarin's forecast at a December news conference. 'I'll have to decline to comment,' spokeswoman Dana Perino said amid much laughter.")
Izvestia goes on to say:
A heated discussion also raged on the WSJ website, in which, however, the most common arguments were along the lines of, "Those stupid Russians!" Incidentally, a similar "convenient" stance was adopted by our own "pro-Western" electronic media, which hastened to declare that "not one serious publication has given the professor's amazing forecast any attention." The WSJ, too, prefers to view everything through the lens of Russia. And doesn't bother to explain why this interview elicited a huge response in the USA, rather than here.
Panarin's view "reflects a very pronounced degree of anti-Americanism in Russia today," the WSJ quotes TV host Vladimir Pozner as saying. "It's much stronger than it was in the Soviet Union." It would also be really good to understand where this anti-Americanism came from. Could it be due to the American position on missile defense or South Ossetia? But alas, the WSJ is not interested in digging that deep.
I'm sure it would be news to most Americans, even those who keep up with the Zeitgeist, that Panarin's ravings "elicited a huge response" in the US. (The "response" consisted of a Drudge Report headline and a flurry of blogposts, mostly in the "news of the weird" department.) And is it just me, or is Izvestia admitting, in a roundabout way, that the Russian media are trumpeting this apocalyptic nonsense as "payback" for disagreements over Georgia and missile defense systems in Eastern Europe?
In reality, the promotion of Panarin may be a kind of Freudian projection of much more plausible concerns about the disintegration of Russia (which, unlike the US, does have problems with separatism, including an ever-growing body count in the regions of the Caucasus — Ingushetia, Dagestan, Northern Ossetia). In a recent survey by the Ekho Moskvy radio station, nearly 70% of those voting online and nearly 80% of call-in voters agreed that "Russia could suffer the same fate as the USSR." While this was not a scientific poll, it does suggest that a significant portion of the Russian public thinks the disintegration of Russia is possible.
And more from the annals of nutty Russian anti-Americanism, circa 2007: a persistent claim that former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has expressed the opinion that it's unfair that Russia should have exclusive ownership of a region as rich with natural resources as Siberia. Based on a fake quote, and a 2006 interview with a retired major general of the FSB (former KGB) who claims that Russian intelligence was able to do a psychic reading of Albright's mind in 1999 (seriously) and detected a "pathological hatred of Slavs" as well as intense resentment at the fact that "Russia held the world's largest reserves of natural resources." This interview was not published in the Russian equivalent of Weekly World News but in Rossiskaya Gazeta, the official publication of the Russian government.
(To quote the Russian comedian Mikhail Zhvanetsky: Слов нет — одни выражения. Which translates loosely into English as: "Words fail. Printable ones, at least.")
The "Albright" line about the injustice of Russia's sole ownership of Siberia has also been attributed to Condoleezza Rice. Take this December 14, 2005 report on the political analysis website Kremlin.org, about public hearings on "New federal initiatives for the modernization of Siberia":
The absence of such a [modernization] strategy at present does not allow Siberian regions to develop in a stable way and leads to stagnation, and in the long term, to the possible loss of Siberia.
This was discussed by the vice president of the Novosibirsk Chamber of Commerce, Yuri Voronov. In his words, "there is powerful pressure to take Siberia away from Russia. Even Condoleezza Rice has declared that Siberia is too big to belong to a single state."
Pretty soon, Hillary Clinton will have said it, too.

Warmer weather could cause ice damage to your home!
After a week of snow and cold, there are a lot of homes with heavy snow and massive icicles on them tonight. With warmer weather and rain on the way, all that weight could cause damage to your home.
Ice dams may form when water from melting snow freezes into ice at the edge of your roofline. Without proper roof snow removal, the ice that develops may grow large enough to prevent water from melting snow from properly draining off the roof.
It happens by the snow melting further up the roof where the heat is, and when it melts underneath, it runs down to the edge and freezes.
After a while, more and more ice could build up and could freeze under almost any type of roofing material and cause leaking.

It's all about women power! Anti-Trump protests go global
Wearing pink, pointy-eared hats to mock the new US president, throngs of protesters descended on the US capital and other cities around the globe to show Donald Trump they won't be silent over the next four years.
In more than 600 marches held all over the globe, they carried signs with messages such as 'Women won't back down' and 'Less fear more love' and decried Trump's stand on such issues as abortion, diversity and climate change.
Take a look at the sea of women who came out…

"We can whimper. We can whine. Or we can fight back!. We come here to stand shoulder to shoulder to make clear: We are here! We will not be silent! We will not play dead!

The price of fuel at Britain's pumps will fall by 1p per litre from 6pm this evening.
Chancellor George Osbourne announced a raft of measures aimed at saving money for motorists in today's annual Budget, chief among them today's 1p cut in fuel duty per litre and the scrapping of Labour's fuel duty escalator for the rest of this parliament in favour of a new 'fair fuel stabilsier'.
Duty on fuel was due to rise by inflation plus 1p from 1 April, which would add around 5p in cost to each litre of fuel. But the introduction of the fair fuel stabiliser will see increases on oil and gas production profits from 20 per cent to 32 per cent to fund cuts in fuel duty, expected to raise £2 billion. Labour's fuel-duty escalator would have seen seven incremental increases in fuel duty; next week's rise would have been the third.
Proposals by Labour to cut VAT on fuel were rejected by Osbourne. After looking into them, he said they would take six years to introduce as they were "illegal". The escalator could be re-introduced should there be a dramatic drop in the cost of a barrel of oil to consistently below $75 per barrel; it is currently at $105 per barrel.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders has welcomed today's budget. "The outlook is certainly still challenging, but we are encouraged by the impact these measures will have on our sector and the wider economy," said chief executive Paul Everitt.
The last of the fuel duty rises from Alastair's Darling's final Labour budget came into effect on 1 January this year, raising fuel duty by 0.76p per litre to just under 59p per litre. Combined with the rise in VAT to 20 per cent from the first coalition budget, which appeared on 4 January, this added around 4p to each litre of fuel, raising the cost of filling an average family car (50-litre tank) by £2.
Osbourne said the overall cost of filling a family car, such as a Ford Focus, had gone up £10 in six months. It had become a "huge burden on families and small businesses".
Other measures introduced in the budget include a freeze on vehicle excise duty for commercial vehicles (although it will rise in line with inflation for passenger cars on 1 April), an increase in approved mileage rate allowance from 40p to 45p (the first rise since 2002) and an extra £100m to help repair potholes on Britain's roads, the same amount as given to councils last year by Labour. Car tax bands will also be eventually changed as part of the "green energy revolution", although Osbourne didn't go into details on the scheme.

Outpost Of Switzerland In The Washington Hills

Video: Relaxing Road Trip Series in Switzerland 🇨🇭 Ep#5 - Epic View From Spiez To Oberwil im Simmental BERN 2023, January
The new building of the Swiss Embassy in Washington DC will be designed by New York architect Stephen Hall, created in collaboration with the Swiss architects studio "Rüssli Architects".
The building, made of dark and light concrete and glass, will be located on a hill above the city. Therefore, great attention has been paid to the use of this unique location. A visitor to the embassy, entering the lobby under the glass dome, will find himself in front of the rear glass wall of the building, which overlooks the George Washington Monument. The spacious terrace behind it will allow you to admire the view of the city. The embassy complex assumes a clear division into public spaces and a private apartment for the ambassador and his family. The light and dark surfaces of the building are also clearly separated, resembling, according to the architect, the snow and graphite rocks of the Swiss Alps.
