Live Your Life with Chris Baker. Change - How do you handle it?
Change is the one constant in all of our lives, whether we like it or not. How do you identify when change is needed?
Daily reflection is a technique that I recommend as this will help you to understand what is happening in your life and take the appropriate action.
Schedule 30 minutes towards the end of your day to write down what has happened, what was good, what was not so good, and what are you grateful for each day.
As you consider what went well, think about what worked and how you can replicate that in other tasks. With the things that didn't go quite so well, ask yourself what went wrong and how you can overcome that in the future.
At the end of the week you can summarize your daily reflections and look for patterns. Do the same at the end of the month with your weekly summaries and then after 3 months, 6 months, and annually.
The important thing is to schedule the time and make sure that you do it - things will not change for the better on their own!
A topic that I would like to cover today is the main constant factor in everyone's life, whether they want it or not, and that is change.
When I ask a group of people "Who wants change?" almost all of the hands go up. When I follow this question up with "Who wants to change?" almost all of the hands go down. So why is this?
I find that many people say that they want change but are not prepared to make the change in themselves to make this happen. There is an increasing sense of entitlement and a victim mentality in our society and this is one of the driving factors in creating my business to help people find themselves and grow.
If you could design and create your ideal life, what would that look and feel like?
Now ask yourself, if I carry on with the actions and behaviors that I am living today, will I get this life that I dream about?
I believe that we all have weaknesses although I have a slightly different outlook on this as I believe that the way we overcome our weaknesses is to find other people to collaborate with who have these as their strengths.
There is only so much improvement that we can make in any area. If you imagine a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the maximum strength. It is only possible to improve 2-3 points on this scale and if you score below 4 in any area it is classed as a weakness. A strength is 8-10 and therefore the 5-7 range are your opportunities so these are the ones that can be worked on to turn them into potential strengths.
Be aware of where you need help and do not be afraid to ask for it.
When you want your employees to work harder what do you think they want? More money, better benefits, more vacation, or something else?
The truth is, research shows that the number one thing that employees are looking for is professional growth opportunities followed by flexible work schedules.
According to a 2012 Allied Workforce Mobility Survey, employers lose almost 25% of new-hires within a year of employment and another 33% do not reach their productivity targets. The reason cited for this is that most organizations have a non-existent, or underfunded on-boarding program with little or no ongoing training available.
What are you doing to intentionally doing to grow and develop yourself?
This was originally used as a term for describing a stone representing the nominal starting place in the construction of a monumental building, usually carved with the date and laid with appropriate ceremonies.
In simple terms, it is something that is essential, indispensable, or basic. as someone who wants to develop their leadership and continue to be an influence to other people, you need to be seen as a cornerstone.
Are you seen as a cornerstone?
What makes a team great? Whether it is a team in a work environment or a sporting one there is one thing that is essential, and that is a team spirit.
So, what is a team spirit? This is when ALL members understand the purpose and but into achieving it. I have seen a number of teams that is full of talented individuals yet does not succeed. When I analyze why, it is normally because at east one of the members does not have this.
Another important aspect is to play to strengths. Each member has strengths and for a team to be successful these must be utilized. This seems obvious for a sports team and it is just as vital in a work environment.
Are you using your strengths in your job?
How we handle adversity defines our character. Adversity causes pain and we have a choice as to how we deal with this. We can either let it take over us or we can learn from it and adapt for the future so that we are stronger.
Adversity should become your catalyst for learning as when it does, it will create advantages for you to use in the future. This does require a positive mindset and will be tough at times.
Adversity will teach you more than success and, let's face it, you are almost guaranteed to will face adversity at some stage in your life, probably multiple times. As I said, this does require a deliberate intention to find the lesson in the loss and if we don't embrace these lessons we will end up with the scars and be none the wiser.
Feedback is said to be a gift but how many of us actually feel that this is the case? When someone offers us positive feedback it is generally accepted as a gift but is this the same when the feedback is something that maybe we do not want to hear?
As someone who wants to continually grow it is essential to encourage others to speak into your life and provide honest and genuine feedback as this is truly the only way that we will learn and grow.
It can be hard to hear the truth and to remain teachable you need to surround yourself with people who are prepared to offer constructive feedback as and when required. You need to develop a strong relationship with your inner circle so that you can credibly ask them to speak in to your life.
Remember that, as Jim Rohn says, "you become the average of the five people that you spend most time with", so choose your inner circle wisely.


In an extensive examination of this impassioned debate, Richard Breitman and Allan J. Lichtman find that the president was neither savior nor bystander. In "FDR and the Jews," they draw upon many new primary sources to offer an intriguing portrait of a consummate politician-compassionate but also pragmatic-struggling with opposing priorities under perilous conditions. For most of his presidency Roosevelt indeed did little to aid the imperiled Jews of Europe. He put domestic policy priorities ahead of helping Jews and deferred to others' fears of an anti-Semitic backlash. Yet he also acted decisively at times to rescue Jews, often withstanding contrary pressures from his advisers and the American public. Even Jewish citizens who petitioned the president could not agree on how best to aid their co-religionists abroad.


Ever heard of Wwoofing? No it doesn't involve howling at the moon! Wwoof is a means of swapping work for travel where you trade a couple of hours per day in return for accommodation and meals on an organic farm. Today's guests have successfully wwoofed their way around the world in a variety of countries but in recent years as their desire to live a backpacking life has diminished they have switched to housesitting as a means of reducing their travel costs.
Cheryl MacDonald and Lisa Chavis spend around 8 months of the year overseas while still generating income online working in their respective areas of expertise. For the four months back home they up the rate of earnings and plan their next adventure. Their lifestyle has enabled them to see much of the globe while controlling their living costs and topping up their income during the months they are back in the US.
Wwoof provides an opportunity to swap work for travel in over 100 countries worldwide. You can choose your destination and generally only have to give up a few hours per day of your time – but it's not luxury living and suits the backpack fraternity best. As 40 somethings however they enjoyed the experience and didn't feel out of place with the younger travelers they encountered.
Earning from your old skills is always an option. Who would have thought a pharmacist could still make money while traveling? For Lisa she is able to top up her income checking medical records and doing some medical writing p roving that almost any skill or career can provide you with money while you travel.
Ask the right questions. These two are a glass half full couple! They ask how they can do things not complain about why they can't and it has opened many doors for them.


I posted two photos a day or two ago to my Amethyst costume folder. Both times I got all the way through the process and to the finalized page where it says it may take a few minutes to post. Both times nothing ended up posting however. I went back the second time and tried uploading the photos separately but it still didn't actually post even though I got through the process again. I didn't receive any message about the photos being too large as I have in the past, and would have edited them if I had.
I don't want to keep submitting the photos and end up spamming the site. Are they maybe sitting somewhere in a filter or something?
It's most likely something dealing with a photo size, also there may be something in the description that could trigger a filter. Does it also happen if you upload an image without any title/description added?
Send me a PM and I can look into it directly by testing the image for you on a test account.
Looking at the files again it looks like size must have been the issue, as I was unable to attach them to a post to review and I'd assume the 200KB max for posts is the same limit for our galleries.
It still seems weird that the process was finalized however, as I've tried to post too-big images before and they were always rejected right off the bat with an error message. These got all the way through the confirmation screen as if they were correctly sized.

Thieves get motor home from storage facility
Published October 22, 2013 - 10:31pm
| Filed under
A Murieta family reported on Tuesday that its motor home was stolen from the Cantova Way mini-storage facility that had been hit by thieves twice already this year, most recently early this month.
Jerry Wall said he discovered on Monday that his motor home was gone along with all of its contents. "It was full of dishes, binoculars, all my fishing gear, stoves, barbecues, on and on," he said. He said the home had a 47-inch TV and two smaller TVs among its amenities.
Wall said he last checked on his vehicle following the Oct. 4 theft of a pickup truck, a collectible car and tools from the facility.
Security Officer Mike Scarzella, standing in for Chief Greg Remson, said the storage business is in the process of installing cameras and changing its access system, which requires a passcode to enter and exit.
In late January, a utility trailer, boat and two ATVs were reported stolen from the facility.

Stockholm, Sweden, November 20, 2018 – Elite Swedish swimmer and Bluewater Brand Ambassador Adam Paulsson has taken three gold medals in Sweden's national swimming competition.
Paulson, 24, won gold for his 400 m medley, 400 m free, and 800 m free swims in during the tournament in Stockholm.
"I am hugely excited about my performance as it is another step towards fulfilling my dream to represent Sweden at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020," said Adam.
Paulsson was also happy to have been awarded a wild-card to compete in the 14th FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m) to be held December 11–16, 2018 in Hangzhou, China, after narrowly failing to gain an Olympic qualifying time.
Wild-card slots are allocated by national Olympic committees based on unique qualification requirements for a high-ranking sportsperson who is unable to qualify in a normal way.
"I cannot wait to get in that pool in Hangzhou. I'm hungry for top times and results and I will give it all I have in the 400 meter free and 400 meter medley races to make sure I qualify for the Tokyo Olympics," Adam told Bluewater.

Bend bans all fireworks through July 9
Updated: Jun. 28, 2021, 4:13 p.m. | Published: Jun. 28, 2021, 3:20 p.m.
Stephanie Yao Long/The Oregonian
By Brenna Visser, The Bulletin
The City of Bend is immediately banning the use of all fireworks, legal and illegal, in response to extremely high temperatures and drought conditions.
"The decision was pretty clear that this was an extreme safety concern from multiple angles," Mayor Pro-tem Gena Goodman-Campbell said Monday.
Not overwhelming first responders, who already are busy the week of the Fourth of July in more normal years, was also a consideration.
"For people calling in with an emergency, we want to make sure we can respond to those in a timely manner," Goodman-Campbell said.
The local state of emergency declaration issued Monday by the city manager also allows the city to use resources to provide services such as cooling shelters to people experiencing homelessness during the heatwave.
The emergency declaration remains in effect through July 9. The ban does not make it illegal to sell fireworks, or to own them, Goodman-Campbell said.
Professional shows at the Vince Genna Stadium on July 3 and at Pilot Butte on July 4 will go on as scheduled.
The emergency order is subject to ratification by the Bend City Council on July 21.
The Deschutes County Commission also discussed a possible ban on fireworks for people in the rural part of the county on Monday, but declined to do so.
Commissioner Tony DeBone said he wasn't in favor of a ban, saying he preferred to rely on personal responsibility.
"The folks who are going to do it are still going to do it," DeBone said.
Commissioner Phil Chang said he could see both sides of the issue, but ultimately was reluctant to initiate a ban.
"As someone who feels they do practice common sense, and who has gotten a lot of enjoyment out of fireworks … I'm not super excited about considering banning them," Chang said Monday.
Goodman-Campbell said that if people choose to go outside of the city to use fireworks, they are showing a disregard for the safety of the community.
"I believe that the vast majority of people in Bend genuinely care about the safety and lives of our neighbors and they need to show that care by not lighting off fireworks," she said.
In its declaration Monday, the city noted that fireworks sparked a fire at Stover Park in northeast Bend on Friday. Bend Fire & Rescue prevented the fire from spreading beyond the park. But fireworks remain a fire risk in a community in deep drought conditions. Fireworks cause more than 19,000 fires a year in the U.S., according to the city.
Under the emergency order, use of any fireworks carries a fine up to $750, according to the city.
Residents can report the use of fireworks via email at fireworks@bendoregon.gov.
If the fireworks are posing an immediate safety risk to a person or property, residents are asked to call 911.

There was very little else he could share with them – no family anecdotes, no wartime memories, no tales from school – because they were profoundly deaf. "They had no connection with the outside world," he says. "The sadness was that my grandfather was a fascinating character but you couldn't get to him."

Archaeologists in Israel discover synagogue dating from time of Jesus
January 07, 2013 · 10:30 AM CST
An archeological Dig at Magdala, Israel, seems to have found remains of an ancient synagogue, dating to the time of Jesus. (Photo courtesy of the Magdala Center.)
In the time of Jesus, Magdala was a thriving fishing village.
It was home to Mary Magdalene — she was Mary of Magdala. And it was located in the small area along the sea of Galilee, where the bible said Jesus lived and ministered and performed most of his miracles.
Recently, archaeologists working in the area made an amazing discovery: an ancient synagogue, one of only seven ever found that date to the time of Jesus.
"This stone is really unique, we've never excavated anything like it," said Dina Gorni, one of two archaeologists from the Israeli Antiquities Authority who excavated the site. "It took me 3 days to believe what I am seeing, that we are standing in a synagogue from the time that the Beit Hamikdash, the Temple in Jerusalem was working."
All this was a mere twenty inches beneath the topsoil. Incredibly, no other towns had been built over it in the centuries since. And no one had disturbed it. It was waiting, like Pompeii, to be discovered.
Father Juan Maria Solana, director of Jerusalem's Pontifical Institute, said he's dreamed of building a church and hotel in Galilee to serve pilgrims since he moved to Jerusalem seven years ago.
"To be frank, I felt something about this place and this project, that it was impossible to explain," he said.
After four years gathering donations Father Solana had enough money to buy the land. And the dig began.
The new testament does not specify that Jesus ministered in Magdala, but Father Solana said the discovery of this synagogue means what we thought we knew will have to be re-examined.
"From the Jewish point of view, the position is clear. It's a first century synagogue, beautifully decorated, with pieces of art and an altar such has never been found in any other synagogue from that time," Solana said. "Never, ever. From the Christian point of view, we cannot doubt that Jesus would have been there sometime. The first Christian communities used to gather in the synagogues. They were observant Jews. So it's clear that the first generation of Christians used to gather there."
And that, he said, could mean he and his workmen found the first Church on earth.
The two archaeologists working on the site, Arfan Najjar and Gorni, one Muslim and the other Jewish, give cautious support to this theory.
They point out that the synagogue was located on the outskirts of Magdala. And it was built for a congregation of around 120, not the thousands who lived there. In other words, for people who marked themselves off from the rest of Jewish Magdala.
Tramping around the site on a sunny winter's afternoon, the Sea of Galilee shimmering a few feet away, Gorni is still in awe of what they've found, and its importance for both Christians and Jews.
"You can hear about or read about it, but to see it, it's only here. The story about Jesus and Mary Magdalene, the synagogue, the altar stone, it's so important to both religions. I think to the world," she said. "It was there for 2,000 years and it was waiting for us, for this generation, to see it, to come and touch it and to come and to pray here again."
When this dig is finished, Father Solana intends to preserve the ruins in an open air museum. He said finding what may be the site of Jesus' first ministry could be a real blessing for his church and hotel being built nearby.

Q: python Input() function in jupyter notebook not working I've been running a script on jupyter notebook:
num=input("Enter a number: ")
print(num)

When i run this cell, nothing is printing in output cell, no text box is appearing. It simply passes on to new cell. Initially when I ran it for the first time, the notebook gave "'_xsrf' argument missing from post" error which i resolved by opening another notebook as referred in Jupyter Notebook not saving: '_xsrf' argument missing from post. The autosave problem was resolved but it still ain't printing anything. My python version is 3.9.7.

Julius Kambarage Nyerere was one of Africa's leading independence heroes and a leading light behind the creation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) on 25 May 1963. He was the architect of ujamaa, an African socialist philosophy which revolutionized Tanzania's agricultural system. He was the prime minister of an independent Tanganyika and the first president of Tanzania.
Kambarage ("the spirit which gives rain") Nyerere was born to Chief Burito Nyerere of the Zanaki village and his wife Mgaya Wanyang'ombe. Nyerere attended a local primary mission school, transferring in 1937 to Tabora Secondary School, a Roman Catholic mission and one of the few secondary schools open to Africans at that time. He was baptized a Catholic on December 23, 1943, and took the baptismal name Julius.
Between 1943 and 1945 Nyerere attended Makerere University, in Uganda's capital Kampala, obtaining a teaching certificate. It was around this time that he took his first steps towards a political career. In 1945 he formed Tanganyika's first student group, an offshoot of the African Association, AA, (a pan-African group first formed by Tanganyika's educated elite in Dar es Salaam, in 1929). Nyerere and his colleagues began the process of converting the AA towards a nationalistic political group.
Once he had gained his teaching certificate, Nyerere returned to Tanganyika to take up a teaching post at Saint Mary's, a Catholic mission school in Tabora. He opened a local branch of the AA and was instrumental in converting the AA from its pan-African idealism to the pursuit of Tanganyikan independence.
In 1949 Nyerere left Tanganyika to study for an MA in economics and history at the University of Edinburgh. He was the first African from Tanganyika to study at a British university and, in 1952, was the first Tanganyikan to gain a degree.
At Edinburgh, Nyerere became involved with the Fabian Colonial Bureau (a non-Marxist, anti-colonial socialist movement based in London). He watched intently Ghana's path to self-government and was aware of the debates in Britain on the development of a Central African Federation (to be formed from a union of North and South Rhodesia and Nyasaland).
Three years of study in the UK gave Nyerere an opportunity to vastly widen his perspective of pan-African issues. Graduating in 1952, he returned to teach at a Catholic school near Dar es Salaam. On 24 January he married primary school teacher Maria Gabriel Majige.
This was a period of upheaval in west and south Africa. In neighboring Kenya the Mau Mau uprising was fighting against white settler rule, and a nationalistic reaction was rising against the creation of the Central African Federation.
But political awareness in Tanganyika was nowhere near as advanced as with its neighbors. Nyerere, who had become president of the TAA in April 1953, realized that a focus for African nationalism amongst the population was needed. To that end, in July 1954, Nyerere converted the TAA into Tanganyika's first political party, the Tanganyikan African National Union, or TANU.
Nyerere testified on behalf of TANU to the UN Trusteeship Council (committee on trusts and non-self-governing territories), in both 1955 and 1956. He presented the case for setting a timetable for Tanganyikan independence (this being one of the specified aims set down for a UN trust territory). The publicity he gained back in Tanganyika established him as the country's leading nationalist. In 1957 he resigned from the Tanganyikan Legislative Council in protest over the slow progress independence.
TANU contested the 1958 elections, winning 28 of 30 elected positions in the Legco. This was countered, however, by 34 posts which were appointed by the British authorities — there was no way for TANU to gain a majority. But TANU was making headway, and Nyerere told his people that "Independence will follow as surely as the tickbirds follow the rhino." Finally with the election in August 1960, after changes to the Legislative Assembly were passed, TANU gained the majority it sought, 70 out of 71 seats. Nyerere became chief minister on September 2, 1960, and Tanganyika gained limited self-government.
Nyerere approached his presidency with a particularly African stance.
First, he attempted to integrate into African politics the traditional style of African decision making (what is known as "indaba in Southern Africa). A consensus is gained through a series of meetings in which everyone has an opportunity to say their piece.
To help build national unity he adopted Kiswahili as the national language, making it the only medium of instruction and education. Tanganyika became one of the few African countries with an indigenous official national language. Nyerere also expressed a fear that multiple parties, as seen in Europe and the US, would lead to ethnic conflict in Tanganyika.
In 1963 tensions on the neighboring island of Zanzibar started to impact on Tanganyika. Zanzibar had been a British protectorate, but on 10 December 1963, independence was gained as a Sultanate (under Jamshid ibn Abd Allah) within the Commonwealth of Nations. A coup on January 12, 1964, overthrew the sultanate and established a new republic. Africans and Arabs were in conflict, and the aggression spread to the mainland — the Tanganyikan army mutinied.
Nyerere went into hiding and was forced to ask Britain for military assistance. He set about strengthening his political control of both TANU and the country. In 1963 he established a one-party state which lasted until July 1, 1992, outlawed strikes, and created a centralized administration. A one-party state would allow collaboration and unity without any suppression of opposing views he stated. TANU was now the only legal political party in Tanganyika.
Once order was restored Nyerere announced the merger of Zanzibar with Tanganyika as a new nation; the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar came into being on April 26, 1964, with Nyerere as president. The country was renamed the Republic of Tanzania on October 29, 1964.
Nyerere was reelected president of Tanzania in 1965(and would be returned for another three successive five-year terms before resigning as president in 1985. His next step was to promote his system of African socialism, and on February 5, 1967, he presented the Arusha Declaration which set out his political and economic agenda. The Arusha Declaration was incorporated into TANU's constitution later that year.
The central core of the Arusha Declaration was ujamma, Nyerere's take on an egalitarian socialist society based on cooperative agriculture. The policy was influential throughout the continent, but it ultimately proved to be flawed. Ujamaa is a Swahili word which means community or family-hood. Nyerere's ujamaa was a program of independent self-help which supposedly would keep Tanzania from becoming dependant on foreign aid. It emphasized economic cooperation, racial/tribal, and moralistic self-sacrifice.
By the early 1970s, a program of villagization was slowly organizing rural life into village collectives. Initially voluntary, the process met with increasing resistance, and in 1975 Nyerere introduced forced villagization. Almost 80 percent of the population ended up organized into 7,700 villages.
Ujamaa emphasized the country's need to be self-sufficient economically rather than being dependent on foreign aid and foreign investment. Nyerere also set up mass literacy campaigns and provided free and universal education.
In 1971, he introduced state ownership for banks, nationalized plantations and property. In January 1977 he merged TANU and Zanzibar's Afro-Shirazi Party into a new national party – the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM, Revolutionary State Party).
Despite a great deal of planning and organization, agricultural production declined over the 70s, and by the 1980s, with falling world commodity prices (especially for coffee and sisal), its meager export base disappeared and Tanzania became the largest per-capita recipient of foreign aid in Africa.
Nyerere was a leading force behind the modern Pan-African movement, a leading figure in African politics in the 1970s, and was one of the founders of the Organization of African Unity, OAU, (now the African Union).
He was committed to supporting liberation movements in Southern Africa and was a forceful critic of the apartheid regime of South Africa, chairing a group of five frontline presidents who advocated the overthrow of white supremacists in South Africa, South-West Africa, and Zimbabwe.
Tanzania became a favored venue for liberation army training camps and political offices. Sanctuary was given to members of South Africa's African National Congress, as well as similar groups from Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Angola, and Uganda. As a strong supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations, Nyerere helped engineer South Africa's exclusion on the basis of its apartheid policies.
When President Idi Amin of Uganda announced the deportation of all Asians, Nyerere denounced his administration. When Ugandan troops occupied a small border area of Tanzania in 1978 Nyerere pledged to bring the downfall of Amin. In 1979 20,000 troops from the Tanzanian army invaded Uganda to aid Ugandan rebels under the leadership of Yoweri Museveni. Amin fled into exile, and Milton Obote, a good friend of Nyerere, and the president Idi Amin had deposed back in 1971, was placed back in power. The economic cost to Tanzania of the incursion into Uganda was devastating, and Tanzania was unable to recover.
In 1985 Nyerere stepped down from the presidency in favor of Ali Hassan Mwinyi. But he refused to give up power completely, remaining leader of the CCM. When Mwinyi started to dismantle ujamaa, and to privatize the economy, Nyerere ran interference. He spoke out against what he saw as too much reliance on international trade and the use of gross domestic product as the main measure of Tanzania's success.
At the time of his departure, Tanzania was one of the world's poorest countries. Agriculture has reduced to subsistence levels, transportation networks were fractured, and industry was crippled. At least one-third of the national budget was provided by foreign aid. On the positive side, Tanzania had Africa's highest literacy rate (90 percent), had halved infant mortality, and was politically stable.
In 1990 Nyerere gave up leadership of the CCM, finally admitting that some of his policies hadn't been successful. Tanzania held multiparty elections for the first time in 1995.
Julius Kambarage Nyerere died on October 14, 1999, in London, UK, of leukemia. Despite his failed policies, Nyerere remains a deeply respected figure both in Tanzania and Africa as a whole. He is referred to by his honorific title mwalimu (a Swahili word meaning teacher).

If a car comes off the track (digital 132) is there an accessory or an after market add on that can stop ALL cars on the track after they get to contimue for a predetermined amount of time (say 2 seconds)?
That way you wouldn't have to screem to get everyone's attention to stop while you get your car back on the track, yet you'd still suffer a penalty for the crash (other cars get the 2 second run after your crash).
It's the space bar on Bruce's software. And the Carrera Race App has that function available as well, but I can't remember what function(s) initiate the track call.
Wow this is first time I hear about this.
How do I configure this on the carrera app.
When using certain aftermarket race control software packages on SSD- this can be set to be automatic. If a driver's throttle stays at zero for a pre-determined amount of time, it is assumed he is off the track, and a track call is initiated.
Other answers here describe how software can initiate a call on Carrera- but it is not automatic. If you use my PC software on D1XX, you press the space bar. If you use the Carrera tablet app, you press the on screen 'Pause' button.
And if you use the Carrera CU and a Lap Counter accessory, you press the Start button on the CU.
Only SSD with RMS software and computer connection can do it entirely automatically like Bruce said.
You don't even need the lap counter- or a CU- ever since the days of the Black Box, the 'Start' button on the power base will stop all cars, while still powering the track. This still works even with software connected.
But without the Lap Counter or computer, you're not actually having much of a race, you're just driving around the track at the same time.
True enough- still handy to be able to stop traffic and recover cars. I think the majority of digital users (at least Carrera digital users) spend more time 'just driving around the track' than actually racing. Even when using so-called 'race management software'.
To me there's always a race and it's always the same race - the race to the next corner. No other components needed.
So if I understand you correctly....it is not automatic with your software. You must press space bar?
Correct. Space bar, or 'Start' button on the CU. The only system with an 'automatic' cut off is SSD. That's the only system where the PC has any knowledge of throttle positions.
HA! That's pretty true. Then again, that's also quite true of analog "racing."
For SSD, using the C7042 base but no computer, it can be set up so that anyone can press the large button on their controller to initiate a track call (all stop) or yellow flag (slow down) using a configurable delay from the pressing of the button.
Smart Race is working on this where you have the option to use additional devices as an individual driver display with the ability to pause the race from your display. The only thing is that this isn't always a good thing to have each driver have an easy way to pause the race since it can lead to a lot of track calls. In some instances, I prefer to have one person in charge of track calls the keep them at a minimum since not all track calls are needed.

The Tongole Foundation was founded due to the sad loss of Vitu Kalanga who was David Cole's daughter's boyfriend back in 2006/7.
Vitu was traveling home from football training and whilst on that journey the car he was a rear passenger in was involved in a collision and sadly this resulted in his sudden death at the age of just 16.
Vitu's father Bentry and David Cole then decided to do something in Vitu's memory but with a difference from the usual.
They decided to create a two part project:
A sustainable business which would create employment and training opportunities in a very deprived part of Malawi.
A children's education charity which would support 3 schools initially but with much bigger long term plans.
The business is a Wilderness Lodge which took over two years to physically construct in a wildlife reserve which created over 100 jobs over that period many of whom have children at the 3 schools we are supporting.
At the end of the construction phase we have employed over 30 full time employees which of course has far reaching benefits i.e. 1 employed person directly affects over 20 people!
The Charity was registered in December 2010, Registered Charity Number: 1139568

The Health Must-Eat List
The editors of Health, together with a team of top experts, identify the best picks in key grocery categories.
By Donna Fennessy
Plamen Petkov
Plamen PetkovFood shopping is a daunting task these days, especially if you're trying to eat right. With supposed health benefits screaming from labels and the actual ingredients in mighty fine print, you practically need a PhD in nutrition to bring home the right mix.
To the rescue: the Health Must-Eat List. It's "designed to help you shop healthy in every aisle of the grocery store," says Caroline Kaufman, RDN, a family nutrition expert in San Francisco. Our guide will lead you to the best choices while helping you cut through the hype and make smart decisions about which foods are worthy of your grocery dollars. "The Health Must-Eat criteria aren't influenced by marketing claims on the label," Kaufman says. "They're based on how healthy the food is on the inside—what it's made of."
Of course, fresh fruits and vegetables are automatic must-eats. But let's get real—most of us rely on packaged products, too, from crackers to cups of yogurt to frozen dinners. That's where the Health Must-Eat List comes in. Together with a panel of leading nutrition and food science experts, the editors of Health came up with a detailed but simple formula to identify healthful fare that you can truly feel good about eating.
In order to qualify, a food must not only be free of all the bad stuff you don't want or need—trans fats, tons of added sugar, potentially harmful preservatives and the like—but also contain nutrients that enhance your physical well-being. For example, it might have calcium, which boosts bone health, or live active cultures, which promote digestive health. "Think of Must-Eat foods as junk-food antidotes—they help restore the dietary equilibrium," says expert panelist Adam Drewnowski, PhD, director of the Center for Public Health Nutrition at the University of Washington.
To determine the criteria, our panel carefully reviewed years of health and nutrition research, looking at what the most scientifically sound studies have shown us over time. Once the formula was set, we dispatched a team of a dozen nutritionists and Health editors to scour supermarket shelves. We also put out an open call to food manufacturers to submit their newest and healthiest products for consideration.
The results: Of the more than 3,500 products that we reviewed, nearly 1,000 foods and beverages from 225 different brands made it onto our list. "It is encouraging that there are now many more healthy products available than there were a few years ago," says expert panelist Walter Willett, MD, Fredrick John Stare professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health.
On these pages, you'll find our best bets in four categories—frozen treats, nut butters, packaged fruit and snacks, cookies and crackers. (We'll cover more types of food in future issues of Health.) Whether you need a nutritious dinner staple or are looking for a power treat to tide you over until your next meal, each of these picks plays a key role in a balanced diet. Shop easier, eat better: It really is as simple as that.
Next Page: What it takes to be a Health Must-Eat Food [ pagebreak ] What it takes to be a Health Must-Eat Food
The Health Must-Eat List is designed to help you identify truly nutritious foods in every aisle of the grocery store. To qualify for our list, a product had to meet the following criteria.
First, it must be free of the following potentially harmful ingredients:
Suspect preservatives: BHT, BHA, nitrites, and nitrates
Unhealthy fats: olestra and trans fats (partially hydrogenated oils, hydrogenated oils, and shortening)
Artificial and high-intensity sweeteners: acesulfame potassium or acesulfame K; aspartame; monk fruit extract; neotame; saccharin; sucralose; stevia extracts; tagatose; and trehalose
Second, it must be a good source of at least one of the following health-promoting nutrients. Each of these has a body of scientific research suggesting it contributes to fending off disease and promoting good health:
Dietary fiber. One serving must have at least 3g of fiber. Foods with only added or functional fiber are excluded. Added fiber includes: inulin (from chicory root), maltodextrin, polydextrose, soy hulls, oat fibers, sorghum fibers.
Live active cultures. Product must either a) have a seal from the National Yogurt Association that says "Live & Active Cultures" or b) contain phrasing such as "contains live active cultures" or "living yogurt cultures." Products labeled "heat-treated after culturing" are excluded.
Vitamins or minerals. One serving must provide at least 15 percent of the daily value (DV) for one or more of the following:
B vitamins: Thiamine (vitamin B1), Riboflavin (vitamin B2), Niacin (vitamin B3), Pantothenic Acid (vitamin B5), Vitamin B6, Biotin (vitamin B7), Vitamin B12, Folic acid/folate
Third, it must not be a junk food in disguise. Sometimes a product might seem like a good choice—it's high in vitamins or fiber or some other health-promoting nutrient, for instance. But it's also loaded with sugar or salt. "A candy bar with added fiber is still a candy bar," says Health Must-Eat panelist Caroline Kaufman, RDN. All products that made it through the first two rounds of criteria were evaluated to ensure they were not too high in sugar, salt (sodium) or any other potentially unhealthy ingredient.

Q: What is the impact of replication factor using RepartitionByCassandraReplica? I have at my disposal 16 nodes and I am using Spark, Cassandra and Spark-Cassandra Connector(SCC). I want to evaluate the performance of this cluster from time perspective when a specific statistical test is implemented on some specific data. So, in one of my scenarios I kept the Spark nodes up to 16 and started adding nodes to the Cassandra ring. Every Cassandra node that is added, has already a Spark installation, and with the RepartitionByCassandraReplica(RBCR) I make sure that data locality is achieved. The only thing I changed was the replication factor.
The times were as follows:
number of Spark - Cassandra nodes | replication factor | Time
16 - 1                            |        1           | 1.883 min
16 - 2                            |        1           | 2.333 min
16 - 3                            |        3           | 0.933 min
16 - 4                            |        3           | 0.9 min
...

My question is why in the 2nd case where I have 2 Cassandra nodes it takes more time than the 1st case with 1 node. I thought that the more Cassandra nodes, the more simultaneous reads. So does the replication factor play a role? If so, how?
I am using the RBCR, which means that when I fetch data from Cassandra, the SCC will ask the data from the node that is actually stored in. Therefore, I cannot see how the replication factor affects that.
EDIT
I think that if I had replication factor 2 for the case 16 - 2, I would get a lower time, something like 1.5, but that is something I cannot test right now.

A: It appears to me that your testing is flawed. You need to have a one-to-one mapping of Spark workers/executors and Cassandra nodes.
As you already know, you can only achieve data locality when BOTH the Spark JVM and Cassandra JVM are co-located in the same operating system instance (OSI). In your environment, there is no guarantee that the scheduled worker/executor are on the same OSI as the Cassandra node. Cheers!

That secret message sits on your wrist, so no one would ever know it's there! Best friends like secret messages.
Of course it doesn't have to be made for friends, this gift would also be perfect for mothers on Mother's Day, Grand parents and even teachers.
I've added a collage of DIY images to show you just how easy it is.
1. Collect the thick branch. Put it in between a clamp and saw off a thin slice of wood.
2. Sand the two pieces of wood so they are nice an smooth. We don't want any splinters, do we!
3. Drill two holes on opposite sides of the wood slice. We used a 3mm drill bit.
4. Give the holes a little sanding too.
5. Decorate your piece of wood with the sharpies. Don't forget to add a secret message to the back!
6. Tie the string through the holes and then you're done!
If you like this, you'll love these nature weaving wood slices!
Stick on a mini envelope so that messages can be exchanged and stored.
See, a really simple wood slice craft perfect for children and young teenagers and a beautiful gift idea for family and friends. My daughter can't wait to give hers to her best friend and I can't wait to give the one I made to her!
« The Christmas tree nature craft you'll ooo and aaah over!
I love crafts using natural materials. This is lovely!
Thanks so much Anna. I do too. There's so much more love in something natural as opposed to something plastic!
So pretty! I bet the bracelets are big hits!
I couldn't help but give it to my daughter early. Valentine's was far too long to wait. She adores it.
The bracelet turned out lovely. I bet your daughter loved it. Great idea.
Thanks Rachel. I really enjoyed working with wood. I think I'll be doing more of it in future. Yes, my eldest adores it so much. It looks lovely on her little wrist too.

Op-Ed Opinion You Aren't Always Entitled to Your Own Opinion
Op-EdOp-Ed Opinion
You Aren't Always Entitled to Your Own Opinion
By Eliezer Stein
Tuesday, October 22, 2013 at 10:15 pm | י"ח חשון תשע"ד
The New Jersey Senate election last Wednesday kicked the election season into high gear. For anyone who has an interest in things political, this is one of the most exciting times of the year. It is a time when we get to see how the general populace actually responds to what has been going on in the world of politics; a time when we can see which pollsters were accurate in gauging public opinion. It is a time to see which public figures have lined up behind which candidates, and a time to see who acted judiciously in deciding whom to back.
But it is also a very unsettling time.
During the electoral portion of the political season, we are inundated with advertisements, mailings and pronouncements from various politicians and "community leaders" telling us who the best candidates are for our community. Regardless of what our Rabbanim and Roshei Yeshivah tell us during any given cycle, these well-intentioned activists have their own opinions on what is really important. There are times that they decide that assistance for social programs they administer are important in races where our Gedolim say it is moral issues. Other times they confuse what they read and hear on the conservative media and conflate the ideals of the political right wing with Torah principles (such as hakaras hatov). And then there are the instances wherein community activists decide that increasing their personal clout is the way to help the klal, in spite of the fact that this can come at the expense of the absolute values of the Torah.
This is, however, not confined to the world of American politics. We live in an age where everyone feels entitled to their own opinion, where each person thinks that they "know better." There is a general (and arguably healthy) penchant for doubting authority in the world today, but it seems to have penetrated our world as well.
But our world is meant to be different.
We have only survived as long as we have because we have heeded the words of our Gedolim — even when we didn't entirely understand the method behind their direction.
Harav Dovid Soloveitchik said that one can easily understand the difference between the chinuch of Avraham Avinu and the house of Besuel and Lavan. Avraham sent his servant Eliezer to find a wife for his son Yitzchak from Padan Aram, and when he returned, Yitzchak accepted Rivkah as his wife unquestioningly.
In sharp contrast to that, when Eliezer wanted to leave Besuel's house with Rivkah, and met resistance from her family, he was told, "Nikra lanaarah v'nishalah es pihah — Let's call the girl and ask her." Reb Dovid said this is a perfect contrast between a good chinuch, where children understand that the parent has unquestionable authority and will only make the right decisions for them, and a bad one, where children have the final say.
So, too, should be our approach to the Gedolim. A friend, whose father is a well-known Rosh Yeshivah, says that when he was growing up, his father always encouraged him to think for himself. He would ask him what he thought was the correct course of action to take in the different situations that arose. However, when it was l'maaseh, his father would have the final word, and my friend would never dare to act differently.
Yet, we complain when our children don't act with deference to our wishes. We cannot understand why they act with intractability, when we mean their own good.
They say that someone once came to Harav Yaakov Kamenetzky, complaining that his children refused to listen to him. Reb Yaakov looked at him incredulously and exclaimed, "You wonder why your children don't listen? Why, it's because you don't listen!"
It is precisely this "I know better" attitude that has been the cause of so much of Klal Yisrael's suffering over the years of galus. But it is this attitude that drives the aforementioned "community leaders" and politicians into making political endorsements that are contrary to the calls of Gedolei Yisrael. It is that outlook that leads people who identify themselves as frum Jews to join together in the most vicious attack on Torah our generation has seen. And it is precisely this approach that can lead people who are in positions of influence in the frum community, when faced with the choice of heeding the directive of Gedolei Yisrael and taking a stand on an issue that isn't necessarily easy for them to take, to abdicate that responsibility and discard the words of the Torah on the trash heap. They self-righteously proclaim that they know a better way to deal with the issue at hand.
More often than not, an outside observer can see the conflict of interest that blinds those making the decision to follow their own opinion. But if we understood that we are supposed to do what is right regardless of what our biases inform us, we would understand that there is only one way to go about that.
We need to stop thinking so highly of our own opinions, and return to listening to those who really are much greater than us.
