I have downloaded the newest community version of the Alfresco - 5.0.d and installed it.
so as far as I can see the problem is with the repository https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/repositories/public-snapshots/ and the following jar: org.alfresco.services.sync:service-synchronization-api:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT.
I think that there might be some other issues with the other libraries in the further steps.
How can I reslove it?
Is it the proper directory for 5.0.d https://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/COMMUNITYTAGS/V5.0.d/root/?


You know how a scripture sometimes jumps out at you? I had that happen recently. It was Psalm 107:9: "For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness." Oh, could it be so? With all my inconsistency in spiritual things, could my longing, hungry soul somehow one day be satisfied?
Here are some of the things my soul longs for, hungers for.
"Be consistent!" How often I've heard those two words of very good advice—I know, I know, I know I should be consistent. Yet nothing has seemed further from my grasp. The sweetness of the Spirit is beyond description, and the days I don't feel it I'm truly bereft. Yet when I scan journal pages over the years, a recurrent theme is recognition of my spiritual inconsistency. I could title the story of my life: Confessions of a Consistently Inconsistent Person.
My life seems to be a perpetual emotional roller coaster ride; illness, pain, and personal weaknesses speed me down the track to the bottom, and spiritual longings push me back up to the top. I never give up hope, however, because I always start again, try again, go back to the pattern that works for me spiritually! My early morning devotional time is so vital. When I miss it I feel at loose ends all day. But I'm learning to be gentle with myself on days I'm in survival mode and only manage the bare essentials. And I start again the next day, or the next!
The Lord instituted the sacrament weekly so that each Sunday I can "come back," start again, and get the Lord's help to overcome the results of inconsistent spiritual effort.
We are commanded to attend our meetings, listen and be taught gospel principles over and over as part of the invitation to "come back." We have so many chances to "re-start," so many sources of spiritual motivation to help pull us out of natural-man downward spirals.
I love to use Nephi's "nevertheless" principle: Even though I am inconsistent, nevertheless, after all I can do, the Lord, in his great mercy, forgives the rest and makes up the difference as long as I keep coming back to him. He alone is totally consistent, and He consistently comes to my aid.
My "longing soul" longs to be able to do more, serve more. I hear constant media reports of calamity and more drastic needs than the whole church population can fill. Sometimes I think the modern media coverage is a curse; I'm so easily overwhelmed with just the needs in my family and ward, to say nothing of the millions affected by global disasters! It hurts my heart to know of so much suffering.
In Relief Society last week the lesson was on service. From the manual we read, "Christ-like service grows out of genuine love for the Savior and of love and concern for those whom He gives us opportunities and direction to help." (Gospel Principles, p. 161, emphasis added.) That last phrase gave me comfort. As long as I'm seeking and listening to direction from the Holy Ghost, I will know which part of the massive need is my personal assignment—which He is giving me "direction to help." I can let go of the rest, knowing God is in charge, not me.
I often feel driven and compelled to keep pushing, though, when my body is crying out for rest. What I want instead of compulsion or guilt-driven action, is to be led, guided, and inspired. The Spirit renews and refreshes. It doesn't waste us away and leave us useless and spent. The Spirit heals, the Spirit motivates, the Spirit is the source of enthusiasm, which means, "God in us." Let me give you a recent example. I knew I was being prompted to write a book of comfort for those who had lost a loved one to suicide, but I resisted and procrastinated because I was afraid not only of the mountain of work it would take but of the emotional price I expected to pay. When I actually responded to the prompting, the year I spent writing the book with the help of the Spirit was the most healing, the most spiritually edifying ever. I have to tell you I was stunned because it was so different from what I expected—and only because the Spirit was involved!
"[His influence] quickens all the intellectual faculties, increases, enlarges, expands and purifies all the natural passions and affections; and adapts them, by the gift of wisdom, to their lawful use. It inspires, develops, cultivates and matures all the fine-toned sympathies, joys, tastes, kindred feelings and affections of our nature. It inspires virtue, kindness, goodness, tenderness, gentleness and charity. It develops beauty of person, form and features. It tends to health, vigor, animation and social feeling. It invigorates all the faculties of the physical and intellectual man. It strengthens, and gives tone to the nerves. In short, it is, as it were, marrow to the bone, joy to the heart, light to the eyes, music to the ears, and life to the whole being" (Key to the Science of Theology, 9th ed. [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1965], p. 101).
I long for continuing person experiences with the effects of serving when guided and enabled by the Holy Ghost.
You asked me how or what I do to relax my body and mind. In all honesty dear, I try not to anticipate or precipitate anything in my life, I used to, but, my belief system is, I can't control anything in the first place. I do believe that being "prepared" as much as I can be gives me peace and I do my best to keep near the Holy Ghost. If my thoughts are peaceful and my environment is orderly, the rest doesn't become anxiety.
I do several things for relaxation that serve me besides leaving my will on the temple altar in my mind.
One, I listen to Vivaldi, to violin and harp CDs; I read a poem and ponder and then drift away for enough time where I feel capable of going forth. I may listen to a book on tape or a talk, anything that centers me and balances my velocity.
Socrates warned us "Beware of the busyness of life." There can't be rest/relaxation if we are putting our trust in ourselves. (If we do that we are actually becoming our own gods, trusting the arm of flesh.) We can't do everything, dearest girl, and sitting down or laying down in quietude is actually a form of worshiping and keeping healthy which is "the word of wisdom." I remember well that Jesus went off, away from doing and everything around in order to commune, rest, relax and probably sleep!
Serpent-like thoughts that haunt us, telling us we should, could be doing more and, definitely better are all negative. They are not good! In Moroni 7:12 a prophet of God tells us, "Wherefore, all things which are good cometh of God; and that which is evil cometh of the devil." Nephi begs the Lord to help him tremble even at the "appearance of sin" [evil]. Such thoughts definitely have the appearance of evil to me. So, why do we allow these labeling thoughts nestle into our hearts?
Darla, there is sin in accepting this lie that you're not doing enough or well enough and that when you're just being it is judged by Father as shameful. To my understanding, when you buy into that you're simply holding yourself back, telling Father you know best, you have a better plan of happiness then Him, that He hasn't given you sufficient to fulfill your mission, that you would rather believe the distortion Satan has planted in you instead of His word, promises, covenants and priesthood. I don't think you consciously "think" these thoughts but, this is the root and your body is, without hesitation, going to react to those false conclusions. Just try at any moment your thoughts are condemning and pricking you to use your agency to be the master of self.
I used to go to the temple every Wednesday for as long as my body allowed, and I relished every moment. But, here again, I had that season but only a season and it was acceptable to the Lord, and me. BECAUSE it was always for Him, through His grace and I never was simply "doing" for doing-sake or out of guilt or any other reason beside. I was able then, loved it, and chose to.
I'm slowly "choosing" to be less perfect—less perfectionistic. And it's wonderful! I'm actually letting Debbie be Debbie and feeling Father's joy and pleasure in that. Darla, as you understand the gospel and continue to grow in it, you'll then try to be humble enough where you allow Father's approval, appreciation and the trust which HE has in you! Rest in this hammock of light and radiance which He gratuitously proffers us. I'll leave you with these thoughts and a tight embrace full of love and friendship !
Debbie's reference to a hammock of light reminded me of a beautiful picture I cut out of a magazine of a woman in a hammock silhouetted with a sunset in the background.
Sometimes I long for more soul-stirring moments. I love times when I feel totally alive to nature without so many distractions. There is great joy in the serenity of nature, in pausing to listen to my heart, in being still so that the still, small voice can speak and be heard. In our frantically busy culture there are so few spaces for silence, and how can we hear the still small voice above the din of traffic and media?
It's important too, to focus in the moment on those we love. I've done so much better in my "grandma" years at slowing down to capture golden memories. Memories such as laying on the grass watching little boys run and play, watching Malachi chase bubbles, seeing tiny Thayne discovering the delight of grass and dirt and water in his first summer outdoors. Listening to Nathan and Ammon giggle when I push them high, high, high, swinging in the hammock with granddaughters, feeling the joy of loving and being loved.
You might think I wasn't getting anything done in those moments, but what an accomplishment it is to be alive in the moment, and to love.
I'm always super slow to embrace the latest technology, but I usually get there eventually. My husband got me an iPod for Christmas, and even though it took me a month to learn to turn it on and off and another month to learn to program anything on it, here I am, wired in yet another way! It's wonderful to listen to music when I'm typing. It's inspiring to listen to scriptures while I'm cooking dinner. It's an incredible convenience to be able to read a good book anytime or any place.
However, the other day someone rang our doorbell and with the I-Pod in my ears I didn't hear them. They finally left and had to come back later. This got me to thinking: how many times are we distracted from the needs of the present moment by technology. The most drastic examples might be car wrecks caused by diversion of attention to texting or talking on a cell phone while driving. My husband and I have had a few relationship wrecks partly because I was e-mailing and he was watching TV when we should have been paying attention to each other in the moment! My goal is to take advantage of the incredible blessings of access to light and truth and beauty through technology without letting it steal my ability to focus on what matters most in this very moment.
I read a novel about a teen-age girl who always resented the fact that her brother, who died when she was two, was the hero in the family. (The Secret Journal of Brett Coltin) She felt eclipsed, unimportant, resentful. She later found this brother's journal (written to her) and found out that she, as a baby, had been his source of comfort and joy—the thing that gave him the courage to keep trying in the face of his pain and fear with the cancer that was killing him. This brother that she resented so much had adored her! That new knowledge transformed her thoughts and feelings. It was a vivid example that things are rarely as we think they are. I wonder if anyone in mortality really comprehends more than small glimmers of light and truth. We know so little. We all see through a glass darkly. I know I often make wrong assumptions, misjudge, and simply don't see things as they are or people as they are. I don't open my eyes and heart because of fear and defensiveness. Oh, what an amazing jumble I can make of things when I don't see clearly and when I don't act with charity.
To get to the root of the problem, I know I need a change of heart: I need natural man darkness driven out of my mind by the light of the Lord.
Alma 5:7 offers direction for achieving what my soul longs for: "Behold, he changed their hearts, yea he awakened them out of a deep sleep, and they awoke unto God. Behold, they were in the midst of darkness; nevertheless their souls were illuminated by the light of the everlasting word." Only the Lord and the power of his word can change my heart, bring me from darkness into light, awaken me to all the things of God. Whenever I am in the midst of darkness, I must turn to the Lord and to the Light of His everlasting word.
I have found inspiration in the life of a woman I know well who was in a wheelchair for nearly 18 months. She was totally incapacitated, yet the doctors could detect no physical malady. She finally learned that failure to use her own agency was holding her there! She was being "acted upon" big time, afraid to make a single decision without her husband's approval. Once she chose God as her guide and was able to say, "God first. He wants me to do this, so you may like it or not, but He is my guide," She rose and walked! She had power. She has done amazing things since.
I sense there is an application here. When I totally accept God as the guide of my life and free myself from all other voices, my energies that may be frittered away on anxiety and stress are freed up to do His will and fill my life's mission.
I return to the assurance in Psalms that the Lord will satisfy the longing soul. He knows the thoughts and intents of our hearts. Whether here or hereafter, He will help us accomplish our righteous desires and become who He knows we can become.
Shall vex my eyes and ears no more.
Nothing could be more satisfying than that!

Nine Cursory Observations About WeWork
By Bristol Voss
Posted In: Financial Reporting
Ah, the WeWork IPO. Well, technically The We Co., its new name, has claimed the ticker symbol "WE" even though it has not said what exchange it plans to list on. Does this mean Ohio State will get to copyright the word "The"? But back to WeWork. Where to begin? Here's a cursory look so far:
All-male board.
Stated mission: "To elevate the world's consciousness." Wow.
Three classes of stock. The common stock Class A (for the public) carries one-vote-per-share. Class B and C common stock carry 20 votes-per-share.
Never made a profit since its founding 9 years ago.
Expects no profits anytime soon. Per its SEC filing: "We have a history of losses. We cannot predict whether we will achieve profitability for the foreseeable future."
Founder and CEO, Adam Neumann, is also a major landlord of the company's space. In the first half of 2019 the company made cash payments to landlord entities affiliated with Neumann totaling $4.2 million. Future minimum payments are projected to be $237 million.
The name Adam Neuman appears 169 times in the financial prospectus to which the company has responded this was disclosed to "avoid the appearance of any conflict of interest."
Neumann has borrowed several times from his company. In 2016 he borrowed $7 million at an annual interest rate of 0.64%. That loan has been paid back. In April this year the company leant him $365 million at 2.89% interest. In addition, he has taken more than $700 million out of the company through stock sales and debt (Source: Wall Street Journal).
Coined a new non-GAAP financial measure: "Community adjusted EBITDA" which takes out rent, tenancy expenses, utilities, internet, salaries of the building staff, and other "building-and community-level operating expenses."
Go Buckeyes.

The first observation is pointless. And a bit insulting. It implies that when one creates one's company, one has to look for at least a female, a trans, and/or whatever else. What this observation means is that we don't care about your skills. We care about your gender and looking good, progressive, fair to every gender, and have a board representative of all the colors of the rainbow.
I'm not saying that there aren't skilled women and whatnot, but if the most skilled people they found in their immediate vicinity were Male, why would they ever hire a woman? Because so that they can tell the world that they have women on board? Why would one assume that they discriminate women and so on?
Bristol Voss says:
Point one was an observation of a fact. Not a statement of opinion.

Bobby Throne Saves the World! was announced on Friday at PAX East. I made an appointment before PAX and was told it would be for a "secret" game from the team behind Soda Drinker Pro. So going into this appointment, I knew very little about what I was going to experience. I honestly don't think I could have ever predicted what I saw on Friday, that's for sure.
Upon arriving at the booth, I was greeted by a man standing in front of a TV with a bunch of plastic coins laying on the table. I told the man that I was there for a press appointment, and he casually picked up a microphone and said: "Bobby, Jill is here for her appointment." At that time the TV showed a digitally rendered man looking back at me, who welcomed me to his congregation. The man outside the booth then handed me the microphone to talk to Bobby myself.
My first thoughts were "What the hell is going on here? Am I on drugs (or are these people on drugs)? And what am I supposed to say now into this microphone?" So I started out simple, I just said: "Hi, Bobby." Bobby then answered with hello and welcome. I then asked him what seemed to be the most obvious next question, "what are you doing here?" He then gave me a brief rundown of his organization, "The Prophets of the Coins." The whole time he is talking, the image on the screen is moving along with him and mouthing his words. It became clear to me that there was someone in the booth controlling this character.
After about a minute of talking to virtual Bobby, a man popped out from behind the curtain and revealed himself to be the real life Bobby (also known as game developer Will Brierly). He was dressed like he is going to church, but honestly not knowing how Brierly dresses on a daily basis, I couldn't say if this part of the gig or not.
Brierly explained to me that Bobby Throne is a televangelist and that this game will be a first person simulator where you play as Bobby. Of course like all televangelists, you have to start out small. Therefore, Bobby starts out in a strip mall next to a vape shop and then as you earn more money you can move to a better location, upgrade to a mega church and eventually even buy a private jet.
The game will be playable on console and also on VR. Twitch is also integrated so that people can join in and watch your sermons. Anything they type into the chat will show up on your lectern so you can read it as you speak. To really push this interactive experience, Brierly has booked a few upcoming gigs at clubs where he will "preach" to people as Bobby and of course get the word out about the game. There will also be real life aspect out of the video game too involving possible mailers and, of course, satirical solicitations for money.
It was hard to gauge how Brierly really felt about televangelists. On the one hand, he appeared to think it was messed up that they take advantage of people and prey on their desperation to get their money. But then when asked if any particular televangelists inspired him, he got very excited and mentioned a few (Peter Popoff, Benny Hinn and Jimmy Swaggart), even calling one "wicked good." Being a magician himself, he seemed truly fascinated with essentially the performance and magic that these televangelists do to convince people to believe what they're saying.
This game is in very early development, and for the time being, it is only being shown with Brierly taking the controls. Therefore, I cannot speak much for what it plays like. The images were not very crisp (as you can see from the screens), but it is still early in development. Plus, let's be honest, no one will be playing this game for its graphics. If you are playing this game it is 100% for the laughs, so not sure if visuals matter all that much.
As this game was just announced, we have no real info regarding release dates, but we will keep you updated as more information is released.


First of all we would like to thank each of you who attended our inaugural road show conference and launch of The PMO Value Ring in Australia June 2018. We had three fantastic events in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, our amazing hosts "Tesla", one of the most innovative companies in the world, proved to be the perfect venue for networking and inspiring conversations. It was great to see old friends and make new ones.

Just like our comic book story we shared, PMO affects several stakeholders, we just need to learn the right tools to tailor solutions for them.
We also would like to share with you the moments we captured during the events.
New, well established or rapidly growing company can all become entangled in complex systems or process landscapes when delivering a project.
Lack of integrity and governance increases manual tasks and a stronger likelihood of duplicated tasks. This wastes value time and causes employees to lose motivation and productivity.
When projects are managed without aligned governance or systems, each assigned employee begins to focus on delivering a project via their own accord or pathway. This results in them harbouring valuable project information on local drives, inboxes or other non-accessible public paths. Should this resource leave the company, the project's knowledge and methods will also disappear.
Client satisfaction is the pillar to a company's continued success. It is essential a company provides exceptional client service or risk having clients take their business elsewhere. When clients are unable to quickly obtain accurate information, they will be inclined to relocate their business to a competitor.
Unintegrated governance and discipline causes multiple information sources. This causes a project manager to create their own way of managing information, which subsequently provides disjointed methodologies and project result outputs.
Unintegrated portfolio/program governance creates a large gap between a project's strategy and its delivery. Lack of governance creates holes, inconsistency and lack of accountability in delivering the business benefits. This also results in unaligned business objectives.
With so many incongruent practices emerging, businesses waste enormous amount of time and money on trying to integrate and maintain uniformed processes... This costs a significant amount of money on systems, software and labour.

Downtown workers watch as 7 GR riot defendants in court
by: Susan Samples
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Seven of the 16 people facing charges in the May 30 riot in Grand Rapids appeared in court Wednesday morning via Zoom.
The hearing was supposed to include witness testimony, after which the judge would determine if there's enough evidence to bind the cases over to circuit court for trial.
Employees of businesses victimized during the downtown riot were on hand to provide testimony, including the head of marketing and public relations for the company that owns Sundance Grill in the Waters building at Pearl Street and Ottawa Avenue.
The restaurant's surveillance camera captured critical evidence: images of rioters breaking through windows and damaging the longtime eatery.
"(I'm) a little bit nervous to be able to go in front of individuals who destroyed our property," said Chris Nicholas of Restaurant Partners, Inc, which owns Sundance and more than a dozen other area restaurants. "But it's also a part of the justice system that these individuals have to pay for those things that they did."
16th person charged in downtown Grand Rapids riot
Riots Revealed: Who spent $120K to bail out GR riot suspects?
$200K spent to post bail for Grand Rapids riot suspects
Ultimately, no testimony was presented Wednesday because the judge postponed the preliminary examination until Aug. 3.
However, a virtual hearing still took place with nearly 20 people — defense attorneys and their clients — attending via Zoom. The judge heard from defense attorneys who argued the Kent County Prosecutor's Office should not try the case because the building that houses its offices was among those damaged in the riot.
"The building in which they reside every single day, the building in which they've had to view alleged damage done by individuals," said Kellen Dotson, attorney for defendant Alexandria Lyons, 22, of Grand Rapids. "Your honor, there is an appearance of impropriety here."
The defense wants a special prosecutor from an outside county appointed to try the case.
But 61st District Court Judge Nicholas Ayoub noted that prosecutors don't own the building in which the offices are located.
"If the prosecutor's (own) house were broken into, and he was the one bringing the charges and prosecuting the case … I could see that people would look at that and say, 'Hmmm, that's not right.. He's personally involved. He's also the victim.' That would appear improper even if his intentions were absolutely pure," Ayoub said. "But that is not the case. No one in the prosecutor's office as far as I can tell owned any property that was damaged here. There's no evidence to suggest that they were specifically the target of anything that was alleged to occur here."
Ayoub said he would rule on the defense's motion at a later date.


Anaemia is not a new term for common people, a large number of whom suffer from this blood hemoglobin related disease. What is Anemia? Let's not only know what is anemia but also the symptoms, causes and home remedies including diet remedies for anemia.
Our blood is made up of different components, one of which is red blood cells. They carry oxygen to the tissues. Red blood cells are made up of, among other things, iron, proteins and vitamins, especially folic acid and vitamin B12. Of these raw materials of red blood cells, iron and proteins are extensively needed for making haemoglobin (which also gives the red color to our blood). Once made, the red blood cells die in about 120 days or 4 months. About 100 million new blood cells are formed every day in our bone marrows. An average person should have a blood count of about 5 million red blood cells per millimeter. Haemoglobin should be present in the blood in sufficient amounts (average is 15 gm to 100 cc of blood). When there is a drop in the haemoglobin in blood, it results into anaemia.
Symptoms of anemia are very common conditions, and therefore, overlooked sometimes leading to chronic anemic state due to lack of proper treatment and diet.
Shortness of breath even while doing light work.
In acute or chronic anemia, the nails too get brittle and sores might develop at the corners of mouth.
Digestive complications leading to indigestion of iron and proteins. Lack of digestive acid (hydrochloric acid) which is required for digestion of iron and proteins.
Emotional or mental strain or anxiety. This can hamper proper formation of blood components.
Intestinal worms or parasites like hookworms, pinworms, roundworms and tapeworms that feed on blood.
Genetic blood diseases such as sickle cell anaemia, thalassemia etc.
Failure of body to absorb vitamin B12 from foods which is known as pernicious anaemia.
Foods are the main ingredients that ensure proper supply of iron, vitamins, proteins and folic acid for proper and sufficient formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin. So, here are some dietary remedies for anaemia. These have been divided into two parts- foods recommended to treat anaemia and foods to be avoided by the anaemia patient.
Here is a comprehensive list of food items that are particularly beneficial in treating anaemia.
Vegetables rich in iron- spinach, beets, green spring onions, carrots, squash, radishes, celery, tomatoes, yams, potatoes.
Fruits rich in iron- bananas, apples, dark grapes, plums, raisins, apricots, strawberries.
Iron rich foods- whole-wheat, brown rice, beans, sunflower seeds, honey, crude blackstrap molasses.
High protein foods- milk, cottage cheese (preferably home made), eggs, soyabeans.
Foods rich in Vitamin B 12- Organic meats like kidney andliver, dairy products, milk, eggs, cheese, and peanuts. Wheat germ and soyabean also have some B12 in them.
It is also essential to make sure that whatever iron and vitamin B12 gets into your body is absorbed well by it. Ascorbic acid facilitates absorption of iron and thus foods rich in ascorbic acid should also be included in diet to treat anemia. Citrus fruits have good quantity of this acid.
Why banana and beats are specially mentioned as a good remedy for anemia? Because they are extremely important for curing anaemia due to their contents. Bananas have easily assimilable nutrients namely iron, folic acid and B12.
Beet(or beet juice) is also a very important diet cure for anemia. It contains potassium, phosphorous, calcium, iodine, iron, sulphur, copper, carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins B1, B2, B6, niacin, vitamin C and vitamin P. Beets can thus regenerate and reactivate red blood cells and strengthen body's capacity of resistance.
Drink enough water during the day. At least 8-10 glasses of water should be had by people having anemia.
If you are prepared to have proper and balanced diet, this itself is the best remedy for anemia!


With the sloppy start command you can start a project along with all services and applications that are included. In order to do so, you first have to define your project and its components (services and apps) using either the sloppy.io JSON format or a docker-compose.yml.
You can learn more about how to create projects, services and applications on the sloppy YAML reference page and the reference page on creating an application.
The following options will work in conjunction with the sloppy start command providing a JSON file: --help shows help for the command, --var replaces environment variables in the JSON file (e.g. the domain name).
Using the --var option allows you to quickly re-use and adapt an existing sloppy.json. Instead of changing the JSON file itself, simply replace the environment variables specified in the JSON (e.g. domain names or user ID and password for a database) with new values.
The following options will work in conjunction with the sloppy start command providing a JSON file: --help shows help for the command, -p specifies the project name.
Note that using docker-compose.yml comes with some limitations: Any build: . instruction doesn't work, since it requires local files. You can work around this using image instead. Also, health checks are not supported. We recommend using a JSON file (see above) instead.
In the example output above the project we have started is called "wordpress" and contains two services, which have one application each and for each application we assigned 512 MB RAM. The status column shows the state of the applications.
| Please note, that every time you run the sloppy start command the sloppy.io API server checks upon the integrity of the sloppy.json provided.
| However, even when your sloppy.json is correct, there still might be another problem that keeps your project and the apps included from starting. Please use the sloppy logs command after starting your project to make sure it is up and running.


Guernsey lies in the English Channel off the north west coast of France. It covers 24 square miles and has a population of approximately 61,000 with the principal centre of business activity being St. Peter Port.
The Channel Islands have a unique constitutional arrangement with the UK. The Islands are possessions of the English Crown as distinct from colonial and overseas dependencies of the United Kingdom and accordingly the locally elected legislative assemblies have the exclusive right to legislate on matters of domestic concern to the Islands (including taxation) whilst the United Kingdom Home Office is responsible for the external affairs of the Islands.
The Islands are associated members of the European Community and as such are only subject to European law in so far as they specifically contract in to the European Community. Thus they have elected to become part of the common tariff and agricultural levy system but are not subject to European law in most other areas.
The official language is English although French is still spoken and the legal system is based upon a mixture of English and French law.

Francis prepares first-ever papal visit to Iraq
Pope Francis is to start the first-ever papal visit to Iraq on Friday, an act of solidarity with an ancient but dwindling Christian community and a symbolic outreach to Muslims.
The trip comes as Iraq, ravaged by decades of conflict, faces a second deadly wave of coronavirus infections and renewed violence.
Persecution has already slashed the country's Christian community — one of the world's oldest — from 1.5 million in 2003 to just 400,000 today.
The 84-year-old pontiff plans to voice solidarity with them and the rest of Iraq's 40 million people during an intense week of visits nationwide.
From central Baghdad to the Shiite shrine city of Najaf, welcome banners featuring his image and Arabic title "Baba al-Vatican" already dot the streets.
From Ur, the birthplace of the Prophet Abraham in the southern desert, to ravaged Christian towns in the north, roads are being paved and churches rehabilitated in remote areas that have never seen such a high-profile visitor.
"The Pope's message is that the Church stands beside those who suffer," said Najeeb Michaeel, Chaldean Catholic Archbishop of the northen city of Mosul.
"He will have powerful words for Iraq, where crimes against humanity have been committed."
Iraq's Christian community is one of the oldest and most diverse in the world, with Chaldeans and other Catholics making up around half, along with Armenian Orthodox, Protestants and others.
By 2003, when the US-led invasion toppled then-dictator Saddam Hussein, Christians made up around six percent of Iraq's 25 million people.
But even as sectarian violence pushed members of the minority to flee, the national population surged, further diluting Christians to just one percent according to William Warda, co-founder of the Hammurabi Human Rights Organisation.
Most were concentrated in the northern province of Nineveh, where many still speak a dialect of Aramaic, the language of Jesus Christ.
In 2014, Islamic State group jihadists seized control of Nineveh, rampaging through Christian towns and telling residents: convert or die.
At the time, Pope Francis endorsed military action against IS and considered visiting northern Iraq in solidarity with Christians there.
That trip never materialised, but Francis has kept a close eye on Iraq, condemning the killing of unarmed protesters during mass anti-government rallies from 2019.
Pope John Paul II had planned to visit Iraq in 2000 but Saddam Hussein abruptly cancelled the trip. His successor Benedict XVI never made moves towards Baghdad.
Soon after Francis was elected pope in 2013, he was urged to visit Iraq by Father Louis Sako — later appointed as Cardinal and the head of the Chaldean Catholic Church and now a key organiser of the visit.
In 2019, President Barham Saleh extended an official invitation, hoping to help Iraq "heal" after years of violence.
But as the Covid-19 pandemic ravaged Italy, the Pope cancelled all foreign trips from June 2020.
His venture to Iraq, his first post-pandemic trip, has a packed itinerary.
He lands on Friday morning in Baghdad with a security team and a cohort of 75 journalists who, like the Pope, have already been vaccinated.
Over the next three days, he will host masses in Baghdad, Kurdish regional capital Arbil and Ur.
Vatican teams have made several trips to Iraq to flesh out the details, but it is clear that this will be unlike any other papal visit.
Swamped by some 4,000 new coronavirus cases per day, Iraq has imposed overnight curfews and full weekend lockdowns that will be extended to cover the entire visit.
Social distancing will be enforced at all of the church services and those hoping to attend had to register several weeks in advance.
Pope Francis is an outspoken proponent of interfaith efforts and has visited several Muslim-majority countries including Bangladesh, Turkey, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates.
In Abu Dhabi in 2019, he met Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, the imam of the Al-Azhar mosque in Cairo, a key authority for Sunnis worldwide.
They signed a document encouraging Christian-Muslim dialogue.
Francis hopes his Iraq trip could open a similar door to Shiite Muslims, who number roughly 200 million worldwide but are the majority in Iraq.
As part of that effort, he will meet the top cleric for many Shiites, Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, at his humble home in Najaf.
Sako told AFP in January that the Pope hoped Sistani would endorse the same "Abu Dhabi" treatise signed by Tayeb, but clerical sources in Najaf have denied this.
Still, the encounter will be a key moment in an emblematic trip.
"It's a historic visit — we're talking about the head of a religious sect that is followed by 20 percent of the world's population," Najaf governor Luay al-Yasserit old AFP.
"His visit means a lot. His visit to His Holiness, the top cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, will have a huge impact."

Q: Ag-grid trigger events from outside I am working with ag-grid. I have event handlers defined in my gridOptions:
gridOptions =
{
...
onCellEditingStarted: function (event) { /* magic happens!*/ },
onCellEditingStopped: function (event) { /* magic happens!*/  }
...
}

When cell editing starts/stops - everything works great. But at some point I need to trigger these events from other .js file, where I don't even have ag-grid instance.
I'm trying something like this:
$(window).trigger('cellEditingStopped');

But unfortunately it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to trigger events for ag-grid in this way or I need some more code to write?

A: This is solution i've found to achieve my goal:
gridOptions =
{
...
onCellEditingStarted: function (event) { /* magic happens!*/ },
onCellEditingStopped: function (event) { /* magic happens!*/  }
onGridReady: function() {
                $('#gridContainer').off("cell-editing-stop");
                $('#gridContainer').on("cell-editing-stop", function () {
                    gridOptions.api.stopEditing();
                });
            },
...
}

So in my other file i can do something like this:
that.OnCellEditingStop = new Event('cell-editing-stop');
$('#gridContainer').trigger('cell-editing-stop');

This solution looks clean for me and i don't have to move my grid instance to another file somehow. Hope it will help others somehow

You must have heard about it (or have been part of it at some point) – the endless back and forth argument whether it is a good idea to buy Instagram followers. Well, with all the hard work that comes with growing a following on Instagram, you could certainly make do with a helping hand. Here's what you should know about purchasing followers.
One of the reasons you want to increase your number of followers is to trigger a constant amount of activity on your account. It goes without saying that you will not have the same level of engagement with a person who has 1,000 followers if you have a crowd of 50 individuals behind you. The long and short of it is that when you have more Instagram followers, the more the more comments, likes, clicks you will get.
One of the biggest misconceptions about buying Instagram followers is that every company is out to scam people their hard earned money. True. You can lose cash if you're dealing with the wrong service. However, there are good companies out there with a solid reputation for delivering results. In fact, it is for this reason that Fred Harrington sheds light on the concept of buying Instagram followers and everything that comes with it. He even makes suggestions of companies you can purchase followers from.
It doesn't matter what you do – painter, model, artist, musician or cameraman – Instagram offers a great way to increase the number of people visiting your website. The only thing you need to do is to be a little bit more creative with your bio. Be sure to include a link in your Instagram bio for marketing purposes. Also, add a call to action to direct your followers to your site. Remember; don't be pushy or overly persuasive.
If you have been considering buying Instagram followers, you should do it right away. Not only will it help give your brand the exposure it needs to make an impact but also encourages organic growth. Other than that, this strategy will help supplement your other marketing efforts. As a thumb of rule, be careful who you spend your money with. You want to be sure that you are investing your cash in a way that guarantees results.

Cristina Auerbach, an activist for miners' rights, in her office outside Nueva Rosita, Coahuila.
SAN JUAN DE SABINAS, Mexico — With a lead of nearly 15% in some polls, third-time Mexican presidential hopeful Andres Manuel López Obrador is celebrating an early victory. But with less than four months left before the election, a surprising bid to reconcile with former enemies and attract a larger base has backfired, leaving some of his staunchest supporters feeling betrayed.
Elvira Martínez, a working-class widow in northern Mexico, was ready to vote for him again.
Elvira Martínez in her father's home in Palau, Coahuila.
Her husband is one of 65 miners who were killed after an explosion ripped through the Pasta de Conchos coal mine in Coahuila State in 2006. Martínez and other relatives of the victims say Napoleón Gómez Urrutia, the mining union boss at the time, is partly to blame. They accuse him of suppressing protests over safety conditions while making secret deals with Grupo Mexico, the company that owns the mine, ultimately stealing $55 million from the union.
Leftist López Obrador is one of only a handful of politicians who offered the miners' relatives his support. "It's a great infamy," he said of the disaster during a speech in Mexico City's main square, the Zócalo, in 2011.
Martínez was convinced that López Obrador would do right by his promise to fight the "power mafia," his signature term for the political and business elites. Eager to change the status quo, she is emblematic of the leftist candidates' core support base.
Not anymore. Last month, in a move Martínez says can only be attributed to López Obrador's desire to "win at all costs," the candidate announced that he is offering a seat in Mexico's Senate to Gómez Urrutia, who has been living in exile in Canada for about a decade and at one point had an Interpol red notice — a request for police around the world to arrest him on Mexico's behalf — issued against him.
"It's unforgivable for a person who pledged to represent you to sell you out instead," said Cristina Auerbach, representative for the Pasta de Conchos victims' relatives.
Memorial crosses for the 65 miners who died in the Pasta de Concho mining disaster.
The time is ripe for a moral revolution, says López Obrador.
For his third presidential run, the former Mexico City mayor has called for the creation of a "moral constitution" to fight "individualism, greed and hate." To do so, López Obrador has gotten cozy with the political right, forming an unexpected coalition with the socially conservative, anti-LGBT Social Encounter Party and bringing former political enemies into his camp.
On March 4, López Obrador announced the creation of a board to serve as a watchdog on election day, led by Germán Martínez and Gabriela Cuevas.
In January, López Obrador announced he was bringing Marcos Fastlicht, the father-in-law of Televisa's former CEO, into his cabinet. Televisa, Mexico's largest media company, has often served as a mouthpiece for the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which ruled authoritatively for 71 years, until 2000, and returned to power in 2012.
López Obrador also said he is offering a senate seat to Nestora Salgado, a divisive woman who led a community police unit in violence-ravaged western Mexico. (While most senate seats are chosen by popular election, some are set aside for political parties to dole out based on the number of votes they receive.) Salgado was arrested on charges of kidnapping in 2013, though these were eventually dropped.
This broad coalition of unlikely characters would have been unthinkable in 2006, when López Obrador first ran for president. After a narrow loss, he cried fraud and set up protest camps across Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City's most emblematic thoroughfare, for several months, alienating Mexicans who viewed him as obdurate and combative.
That year, López Obrador, a former member of the PRI, splintered off from the leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution, or PRD, and formed his own party, Morena (National Regeneration Movement). In an effort to shed his image as a radical, he called for the creation of a "loving republic."
A monument for the miners who died in the Pasta de Concho mining disaster in front of the Mexico Stock Exchange.
It was a stealth operation: As cars began to stream onto Paseo de la Reforma on Feb. 18 — the major avenue only allows bicycles and pedestrians on Sunday mornings — Auerbach and a group of miners' relatives sped to the Mexican Stock Exchange building. They lowered a large statue, shaped to read "65+" with the names of the Pasta de Conchos victims etched onto its red surface, from a vehicle and hammered it into place on the pavement.
That same day, López Obrador announced Gómez Urrutia would be on Morena's senate list. Shortly after, one of López Obrador's close advisers, millionaire businessman Alfonso Romo, compared the former union boss to Nelson Mandela, the imprisoned political icon who went on to serve as president of South Africa.
Benito Rosales, who lost two brothers and a cousin at the Pasta de Conchos disaster, was dumbfounded when he found out about the union boss's possible return.
"Let's see if he does bring him back, but to pay for what he owes us," Rosales said.
His sister, Gela Rosales, has a framed photograph of their father's 2010 birthday celebration hanging in her sparsely-furnished bedroom. The family left a foot of empty space between them right in the middle and later photoshopped their siblings, whose bodies remain trapped underground several kilometers away, into that gap.
The Rosales, impoverished, schooled for only a handful of years, and miners since their late teenage years, are emblematic of the population in the mining towns around Pasta de Conchos.
There are few alternatives for men in these communities. Lázaro Delgado, a miner who was part of the Pasta de Conchos rescue team, has spent nearly three decades underground, earning about $65 per week. Delgado says he has been forced to take out numerous bank loans, which he has yet to pay off, to make ends meet.
He, too, was planning on voting for López Obrador, but changed his mind after finding out about his plans to bring Gómez Urrutia back.
"People are realizing that López Obrador is not the white dove he once made us think he was," said Carlos Pavón, the head of a large mining union and a former ally of Gómez Urrutia.
Even those who find work at nearby factories are harmed by the mines: Large, continuous hills of black powder rise up near the center of town here. Children play in soccer fields and around cinder-block houses less than half a mile from them.
It is these families that López Obrador should be advocating for, says Auerbach.

Would You Pay More at Restaurants to Not Have to Tip?
Few would deny restaurant wait staff are hard-working, but service is often panned. Would eliminating tipping help improve the customer experience? Photo: Sjoerd Lammers.
Who hasn't experienced an instance of poor service at a restaurant that ruined an otherwise good meal? And whether we withheld a tip or felt compelled to still leave something, the episode left a bad taste in our mouth and the restaurant was poorer for it, particularly if we vowed to never return as a result.
While poor customer service seems rampant across all service industries, there are few businesses where the financial nexus between company and customer is as apparent as it is in restaurants. After all, you're not able to determine a level of compensation for the department-store customer-service rep as you are when paying for your meal.
That's led the tipping economy to be seen as an antiquated model, one that's actually fairly uncommon in many foreign countries. It's also a view that may lead to a revolution in restaurant operations.
The start of something bigIgnite Restaurant Group's Joe's Crab Shack chain recently announced it would be moving to a no-tipping policy at 18 of its 131 restaurants with the pay of its servers being raised from $2.13 per hour to $14 per hour to compensate the staff. By doing so, it becomes the first national casual-dining restaurant chain to eliminate the practice.
Not that eliminating tips hasn't been tried at other restaurants. A number of high-end eateries have enacted no-tip rules, and last month the movement gained a lot of attention when celebrity chef Danny Meyer said his 13 Union Square Hospitality Group restaurants would end tipping.
Although the purpose of a no-tip policy isn't to improve service -- Meyer, for example, argues it's simply a far more equitable pay system (and he attempted to eliminate tips before in the 1990s, too) -- it's hoped an outgrowth of being better compensated will inspire pride in a job and improve staff morale.
The group Raise the Minimum Wage, which advocates for a national $15-per-hour rate, points to a 2003 study that found that of employers at San Francisco International Airport that increased hourly worker pay 55% to a "living wage" of $10 an hour, 35% reported an increase in employee work performance, 47% a jump in morale, and 45% an improvement in customer service.
A rewarding experienceWhile tipping seems to be falling out of favor, there's been a rationale behind the practice. Restaurant operators saved on labor costs, ambitious workers could make more money than they otherwise would (most of which would largely go unreported to the IRS), and customers could reward those servers who provided outstanding service.
Of course, it's all become rather institutionalized now, and even servers balked at the idea when Union Square's Meyer tried to implement it previously. There's also the fear that without any incentive to provide better service, the quality of service given will degrade further.
Worse, eliminating tips is not without a cost. Since the pay of employees is being increased, restaurants are raising their prices to pay for it. Where Joe's Crab Shack says the higher prices are typically less than the 20% customers were leaving for a tip, Meyer's restaurants are raising menu prices beyond the cost of the wage increase because " we're also trying to right what has been a labor of wrong, and that's going to cost a couple more points on top of that."
He admits it's risky, but still believes it's the right move to make, for his servers, his restaurants, and ultimately for the customer, too.
Ignite Restaurant Group is only testing a no-tipping policy at a handful of its Joe's Crab Shack chain, but it is a movement that could spread everywhere if it proves successful. Photo: Javier Vidal.
Ignite Restaurants it's already seeing the experiment gain traction at the restaurant where it has been tested the longest.That's critical, because comparable-restaurant sales at Joe's have been on a long, steady slide down and this past quarter fell 6.6% from last year and are down 5% year to date, the same rate they fell last year.
If successful at Joe's Crab Shack and at the Union Square chains, it's possible it will expand to other restaurants, but does anyone think by eliminating tipping, your restaurant experience will improve as a result? More importantly, are you willing to pay more for the chance to not leave a tip?

Despite Dloody Year, Chicago Has Big Drop In Homicides
Following a year when Chicago led the nation in homicides with more than 500, the city's Police Department said Wednesday that in 2013 the city recorded the fewest killings since 1965 and saw its overall crime rate fall to level not seen since 1972.
The city, which ended the year with a 16% drop in crime, saw the numbers of violent crimes, including robbery, aggravated battery and criminal sexual assault drop significantly — some by double digits— as well as drops in burglary and motor vehicle theft.
But it has been the city's homicide rate, especially the toll on young people, that has captured national attention.
The year did not start promisingly, with more than 40 homicides recorded in January, including that of 15-year-old honor student Hadiya Pendleton, who was gunned down a mile from President Obama's South Side home. But the rate slowed considerably after that, and by the end of the year the city had recorded 415 homicides, 88 fewer than in 2012 and 20 fewer than in 2011.
"We are making significant progress by putting additional officers in high-crime areas, using intelligence to prevent retaliatory shootings, moving officers from administrative positions back to the streets," Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said in a statement.
One reason Chicago has been in the national spotlight is that in recent years it has recorded more homicides than larger cities like New York City and Los Angeles. That was again true in 2013, with New York recording 333 homicides, the lowest number since comparable record-keeping began in 1963. And, according to the Los Angeles Times, as of Dec. 28, there were 250 homicides in L.A., compared with 298 the year before.
In Chicago, the police also said the number of shootings fell 24% from 2,448 to 1,864 between 2012 and 2013, and the number of shooting victims dropped from 3,066 to 2,328 for the same period. Further, the department said every police district in the city saw a reduction in crime and all but four of the city's 22 police districts saw the number of homicides either fall or remain the same as the year before.
The department and other city officials have pointed out that the drop in homicides, shootings and other violent crimes coincides with changes in police strategies, including tactics targeting violent street gangs that are responsible for the vast majority of the city's gun crimes and, significantly, about $100 million in overtime pay for hundreds of officers deployed nightly to high crime areas.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel has said that besides putting more officers on the street, various programs for young people have played a role in bringing the numbers of violent crime down. At a recent news conference, for example, the mayor said that a record 20,000 young people were involved in the city's summer jobs program.
"Not one of those kids was affected by gun violence this summer, and I don't believe for a minute that if they didn't have jobs they would be safe," he said.

Anniston Chemical Activity was a U.S. Army chemical weapon storage site located in Alabama. The Army had stored approximately seven percent of the nation's original chemical weapons stockpile at the Anniston Army Depot since the early 1960s. In August 2003, the Army began disposing of these weapons at the Anniston Chemical Agent Disposal Facility. Destruction of the base's stockpile of VX was begun on July 23, 2006. By December 2008, all of the VX on site had been destroyed. Destruction of mustard-filled munitions began on July 2, 2009 after several months of retooling. By July 2010, it had destroyed by incineration 75% of the depot's total stockpile including all 437 tons (397 metric tons) of GB (sarin) and all VX nerve agent on site. On September 22, 2011, the last mustard gas shells were burned, completing chemical weapons disposal at the facility. The facilities were scheduled for dismantlement by about 2013 and some of the weapon-handling equipment was planned for transfer to the depots at Kentucky and Colorado. Local government emergency departments are expecting to lose millions in annual funding from the federal government related to the presence of the chemical depot and as many as 1000 jobs will be cut on the base.

The U.S. Army's Chemical Materials Agency destroyed by incineration (total):661,529 Chemical Munitions and 482,051 Gallons of Chemical Agent
 299,727 mustard filled mortars and 187,548 mustard gallons
 219,374 VX agent munitions and  of VX
 142,428 GB munitions and  of GB

Has anyone succesfuly lost weight on this plan for a prolonged amount of time if so how much have you lost and how quickly.
If anyone has switched from SS -790 I would be interested to hear your viewpoints.
Also a couple of questions the skimmed milk that you are allowed on the plan do you have to have it?
If so do you have to have it in tea and coffee as I love milk and would love to just drink it.
I am seriously considering a switch but am very worried.
How are you finding 790? Are you losing it for weight loss. Am hoping the book is more up to date.
I've been doing 790 for the past couple of weeks as step two of maintenance bb so can't really say how you'd fare long term.
Wish I was where you are now Demon but it sounds good.
Do you know anything that would mean I would not be allowed to just drink the milk?
Am thinking it may not be the best idea.
If i continue to lose around a stone a month I would make the switch.
Do you think I could switch for a few weeks and if I am not happy with the weight loss switch back to SS?
There's absolutely no reason why you couldn't just drink the milk as it comes on 790 bb.
As for switching to 790 you can do that any time you want to - your CDC might advise a week of AAM first, but lots of peeps are doing 790 very successfully 'cos it suits their lifestyle better to be able to eat with the family each evening. Likewise, if you weren't happy with the rate of weight loss there would be no reason why you couldn't move back down to SS.
Switched to 790 about 4 weeks ago and I am still lossing weight 3lb last week and 4lb this week,was scared I would not lose weight at first but still am.I am enjoying my milk in coffee and lookforward to an evening meal.
That sounds fab how much was you losing on average on SS if you don't mind.
See I am doing aam now started yesterday thats what has started me thinking.
I started SS 3.1.06 and after first big loss was lossing about 3lb a week then had holiday in July and did not do SS 100% could not get back to it 100% and though still lossing it was slower 1 or 2 lb a week but since doing 790 stuck to it 100% and lossing more again.
If you do not mind me asking why are you thinking of changing to 790?
On SS I have 4 packs cos I'm tall, would I drop down to 3 packs on 790?
Not 100% sure but think its 3 packs.
I am thinking of switching as i am enjoying my aam a lot and looking forward to a hot meal in this colder weather.
Its good that you are thinking of cooking healthy meals.
It is nice haveing a hot meal in evening saying that I have just had cottage cheese salad!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a word with your CDC and see what she has to say.
So far I have had turky and spicy mushrooms and then spicy turkey salad.
Yummy yum. I love tuna as well.
I have now been told i have to go on 790 in a weeks time. I am really looking forward to it. My will power is great and i could stay on the sole source for loads more weeks, but this is something to look forward to,food at last. I am glad listening to you all that i will still lose weight.
I have spoken to my CDC he says the WL is slower but still steady at around 2lbs a week.
I am not sure if I am ready for my loss to slow down yet as I still have 4 stone to go roughly.
I may try it for a couple of weeks to see how I go.
I will see what my WI on aam brings because it could be I decide to never eat again lol.
did anyone start on 790 plan?
Should I switch to 790 plan?
