Whenever we talk about Global Entry, we're usually reminding you that it comes with a free membership to the insanely popular TSA PreCheck program which gives you the privilege of passing through airport security without stripping down to your knickers.
The primary feature of Global Entry is that it allows you to skip the giant immigration line when you return to the US from overseas. But it serves another purpose, as well. And it saved me hundreds of dollars (potentially $1,000+) during my trip to Abu Dhabi.
After a few days exploring Dubai, I was CRAZY late in arriving to the Abu Dhabi airport for my flight home. So late, in fact, that when I walked up to the desk and asked for my boarding pass, the airline agent actually laughed out loud. The flight was scheduled to take off in about an hour. While that might seem like a manageable amount of time to make it to the plane in a US airport, that's largely a no-no in other countries.
On top of that, US Customs & Border Protection has added a feature at the Abu Dhabi airport called "pre-clearance." I DID NOT KNOW THIS. Pre-clearance basically means you go through all the customs and immigration stuff at your departure airport instead of your arrival airport. That extra step practically guaranteed I'd need to buy a separate plane ticket home.
Perhaps the most painful part of the story is that they informed me I'd been upgraded to Business Class.
Out of desperation, I mentioned I was a member of Global Entry. The desk agent's demeanor sobered, and he quickly made a phone call asking someone if I had time to make the flight as a Global Entry member. He then printed my boarding pass and told me to hurry to the gate. I distinctly remember my feet never touching the ground.
Shopping for tickets from Abu Dhabi to the US after the fact, it looks like Global Entry saved me ~$570. That's the price of a coach flight for my route. But a Business Class ticket would cost significantly more, so I'm elated I didn't squander the upgrade.
US pre-clearance is still trying to add itself to other European countries. This will make Global Entry even more useful!
I have the 2 above cards. The $95 annual fee is waived on both of them for the first year, so you'll receive Global Entry for truly 100% free, along with a whole bunch of valuable miles if you meet their spending requirement!
These cards have significantly higher annual fees, but they also come with superior travel benefits.
Let me know if you have Global Entry, or if you see it in your future! And sign-up for our newsletter for other travel tips and tidbits.
This statement is a little misleading. It does not come with the TSA. They are two separate applications. I'm from Lincoln, Nebraska; and had to drive to Omaha for the TSA interview. Sad to say, the closest Global Entry interview was 3 1/2 hours away in Kansas City. So I was only able to get the TSA–which does not include the Global Entry. Exact wording from United Explorer: * To be eligible for this statement credit you must use your United℠ Explorer Card to either complete the Global Entry application and pay the $100 application fee, or complete the TSA Pre✓® application and pay the $85 application fee. A statement credit will be processed after the Global Entry program application fee OR TSA Pre✓® application fee (whichever program is applied for first) is charged to your United℠ Explorer Card. You are entitled to either: one (1) $100 statement credit per account, OR one (1) $85 statement credit per account, every 4 years in connection with the Global Entry or TSA Pre✓® program application fee.

Nice going! Do you have status with Emirates and therefore were upgraded?
No status, the upgrade is baffling to me. I did sign-up for the Etihad Guest loyalty program, but never used it or flew the airline before. NO clue.
What is going on currently with Global entry interviews? I have Biz Platinum card Card from AMEX and applied for Global entry in December end, but till today i've not heard anything back regarding my application or Interview.
Any idea is this delay coz of Government shutdown or what? How can i contact or find out about my application?
Log in into your account and it tells you what the status is.
You're probably right, Leslie, DHS was one of the agencies shut down. Sorry to hear you're having trouble!
From what I understand you CAN ONLY find out the status by logging back in to your Global Entry acct and checking your status, there will apparently be no letter or email or anything else to let you know if you can schedule an appointment. We're currently waiting and hoping to do the GE upon arrival at the return of a trip. It says "in process" for us but it says that as soon as it says approved for appointment, you can click on the same screen to schedule an appt at the airport of your choice. Good luck!
Is the GE application fee covered for the primary cardholder only? Or will you receive the credit twice if the primary and authorized user each apply and charge the application fee to their card?
Well, you only receive 1 Global Entry credit every 4 or 5 years (depending on the card). So you can use it yourself, or you can use it for someone else. Can't receive the credit twice unless you use another card with a Global Entry credit. I've got 3 cards that offer the credit.
Could you please be more specific on how pre-clearance makes Global Entry more useful? I always thought it's not useful since there is no special line for it at pre-clearance. Was something changed?
Sure! There's a Global Entry kiosk at preclearance airports. You won't have to go through the same process as folks who don't have it. Basically, you do have your own special line.


This soldier was with his unit while in Iraq, when he got the opportunity to be baptized in front of all of them in the Euphrates river. Baptism is a powerful outward proclamation of our faith and trust in Jesus Christ.
This brave soldier was not only able to baptized in front of his whole unit, he had the opportunity to do it in very special waters. He was washed in the waters of the Euphrates river, which is the only body of water mentioned in both the first and last book of the Bible. It is a powerful day in his life, and he wants to share it with the world.


Due to recent tragedy, students have been clamoring for the opportunity to have their voice heard on the issue of gun control. On Friday, April 20th; the 20th anniversary of the Columbine massacre, our school held an open mic assembly for all grades to share their beliefs on the issue and what us young adults can do to have our voices heard.
Our host did an amazing job at making our assembly a serious topic that got all students involved rather than the usual "Study Hall" period everyone could have treated it as. All the hosts gave their own speeches on the issue of gun control and how we must be politically active in order to see the change the youth wants in our country.
They showed two videos that captured what we all showed up to discuss, one that covered the tragedy in Parkland with disturbing video from the students inside the school and we closed the discussion watching one on how high school students (the future of America), can get our voices heard to the old heads in charge of the country.
Every student that gave a speech during this event deserved a round of applause for being able to talk to a room of their peers on how the fear of being killed at any moment as tampered with their willingness to go to school.
While a few people went completely off topic from the issue or got their facts wrong, most students addressed how these tragedies have made what was once known as "the golden years" of our lives into a living nightmare of fear. I gained an immense amount of respect for a lot of different students on Friday due to their bravery and willingness to talk about such a sensitive topic with the maturity they showed.


In the 1990s in Rayalaseema, a landlord's daughter Geetha (Irra) falls for her father's henchman Bhairava (Dhananjaya). Attraction leads to love. As the passion between them grows, the landlord orders to kill Bhairava as he loathes the idea of his daughter falling for his low-caste servant. What happens next?
On the surface, Bhairava Geetha seems a tale of forbidden love between a feudal lord's daughter and their servant. It also talks about casteism, suppression, and inequality. However, it doesn't go deeper; all elements are touched in a shallow manner. It stresses more on the old and clichéd line: two lovers running away from the girl's father and fighting to save their love.
The film has an interesting initial portion. The backdrop of how a family has been slaves to Subbareddy, a faction leader in 90's Rayalaseema and the inequality in the region is told in a documentary style.
This story soon paves the way to the lusty love episodes. The supposed love between Geetha (Irra Mor) and Bhairava (Dhananjaya) turns out to be lust and it also gives us the impression that it is another version of recent blockbuster RX100, which was also directed by Ram Gopal Varma's former associate Ajay Bhupathi.
After some kissing scenes and passionate songs, the film turns into a bloodbath. Gore and violence and all the mindless action episodes go on and on.
Like the clichéd storyline, the narration soon tapers into formulaic and it never rises above the ordinary.
Kannada actor Dhananjaya is well-suited to the role. He has maintained one-note expression mostly, though. Irra Mor is okay. She provides some glam show. The actor who played the role of Subbareddy is convincing.
Technicians like cinematographer (excellent) and music director (just okay) have put in best efforts than the writers. The screenplay written by RGV and his voice-over dialogue are passé.
New director Siddharth hardly impresses with his debut.
A tale of passion between a landlord's daughter and a servant has full of violence, bloodshed, and a lot of kisses. What it doesn't have is gripping narration. Too routine and formulaic!

Q: How do I get theses values from this dictionary I'm using mastercard API. Link https://developer.mastercard.com/documentation/mastercom/6#api_transactions_debit_master_card_and_europe_dual_acquirer
I Have to get the value of these keys. (These are key from Dictionary List)
transactionSummaryList[0].authTransactionId
transactionSummaryList[0].clearingTransactionId
transactionSummaryList[0].singleMessageSummaryDetails.authTransaction.acquirerReferenceNumber
transactionSummaryList[0].singleMessageSummaryDetails.authTransaction.adviceReasonCode
...

My code so far
try
   {
      TransactionsDebitMasterCardAndEuropeDualAcquirer response = TransactionsDebitMasterCardAndEuropeDualAcquirer.searchForDebitMCMessageTransaction(transactionsValues);
      OutputTransaction outputTransaction = new OutputTransaction();

      foreach (Dictionary<String, Object> item in (List<Dictionary<String, Object>>)response["transactionSummaryList"])
           {
               TransactionSummary transactionSummary = new TransactionSummary();

               transactionSummary.authTransactionId = Out(item, "authTransactionId").ToString();
               transactionSummary.clearingTransactionId = Out(item, "clearingTransactionId").ToString();

               Object aux = Out(item, "singleMessageSummaryDetails");

               outputTransaction.transactionSummaryLists.Add(transactionSummary);

          }

     outputTransactions.Add(outputTransaction);

}

    public static Object Out(Dictionary<String, Object> response, String key)
    {
          return response[key];
    }

I'm facing trouble when i try to get values from singleMessageSummaryDetails Key.
All values that I want is inside Object aux, but i can't "reach" them.

A: You have case aux as an Object, therefore it doesn't know about any specific properties. Object is the base class that all other .NET classes inherit from.
If you want to get to a specific property they you'll need to cast your object to a specific type.
If you know the class type, then you can cast it directly using either;
public static YourClass Out(Dictionary<String, YourClass > response, String key) or MyClass myClassInstance = (YourClass)myObject;
If you don't know the type then you can use reflection. Its a bit more complicated but will be something like;
Type myType = myObject.GetType();
IList<PropertyInfo> props = new List<PropertyInfo>(myType.GetProperties());

foreach (PropertyInfo prop in props)
{
    object propValue = prop.GetValue(myObject, null);

    // Do something with propValue
}

A: I finally got it!
To make this work, first I turn the mastercard answer in a JSON.
Them I put it simple and easy in my object (DeserializeObject).
 try
     {
        TransactionsDebitMasterCardAndEuropeDualAcquirer response = TransactionsDebitMasterCardAndEuropeDualAcquirer.searchForDebitMCMessageTransaction(transactionsValues);

        OutputTransaction outputTransaction = new OutputTransaction();

        var aux = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(response);

        outputTransaction = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<OutputTransaction>(aux);

        outputTransactions.Add(outputTransaction);

     }

Thanks so much for your answer @Mark Cooper, helps me a lot.
Sry for my bad english.
Thanks again.

Kapil Dev suffers heart attack, undergoes angioplasty
New Delhi: India''s first World Cup-winning cricket captain Kapil Dev suffered a heart attack and underwent an angioplasty on Friday but is expected to be discharged in the next couple of days, said the hospital where he is currently admitted. The 61-year-old complained of chest pain on Thursday following which he was taken to Fortis Escorts Heart Institute emergency department. "Kapil Dev suffered a heart attack. He was evaluated and an emergency coronary angioplasty was performed in the middle of night," the hospital said in an updated health bulletin after only mentioning chest pain in its initial statement.
"Currently, he is admitted in ICU and under close supervision of Dr Atul Mathur and his team. Kapil Dev is stable now and he is expected to get discharged in a couple of days." Angioplasty is a procedure to open blocked arteries and restore normal blood flow to the heart. Indian Cricketers Association (ICA) President Ashok Malhotra, a friend of Kapil, earlier told PTI that the iconic cricketer is doing fine. "He is feeling okay now. I just spoke to his wife (Romi). He was feeling uneasy yesterday. He is undergoing check-ups at a hospital as we speak," Malhotra, also a former Test player, said.
The 1983 World Cup-winning legendary all-rounder was wished a speedy recovery by many on social media, including India''s current captain Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar among others. "Praying for your speedy recovery. Get well soon paaji," Kohli said. "Take care @therealkapildev! Praying for your quick recovery. Get well soon Paaji," wished Tendulkar Also wishing him good health was India batsman Shikhar Dhawan and badminton player Saina Nehwal. Kapil''s former teammate Madan Lal said he has conveyed some of the concern of his well-wishers to the Chandigarh-born legend''s family.
"To those who have called to inquire your prayers and wishes are conveyed to the family and received with gratitude. Good health and strength kaps," read a tweet from Kapil''s former teammate Madan Lal. One of India''s greatest cricketers, Kapil played 131 Tests and 225 ODIs. He is the only player in cricket''s history to claim over 400 wickets (434) and accumulate more than 5000 runs in Tests. He also served as India''s national coach between 1999 and 2000. Kapil was inducted into the International Cricket Council''s Hall of Fame in 2010.
"The big hearted #Kapildev our captain, with a never say die attitude, has recovered. For this mighty giant of Indian cricket nothing is impossible," tweeted Kirti Azad, also a former teammate of Kapil. "Kapil The invincible @therealkapildev is a great friend and super human being. Captain, Looking forward for a meal together soon," he added.

It takes a bit of calculation time, but this strategy can be consistently profitable in today's markets.
One of the more aggressive short-term trading systems built into MetaStock 11 is the Long Sell Short Sell system found in the Explorer feature of the program. If you don't use MetaStock, you can probably find a similar system in your platform.
When a stock has made a minor pullback just before embarking on a strong trending move.
I've been looking at this system for some time now, and actually traded a long position-only version of it successfully during the spring of 2009 using a basket of stocks. Here's an updated version of the method, complete with additional confirming indicators and relative strength filters included.
This is actually pretty simple, and the method I'm about to describe could eventually turn into a consistently profitable trading method for a serious trader who is disciplined, patient, and able to handle modest drawdowns. Additionally, the trader should be willing to tweak, test, and retest the methodology as market conditions evolve, and as his/her skill and confidence level (and hopefully their account size) continue to increase.
With that said, here we go. Use the S&P 500 and S&P 400 component stock list as your raw material to seek qualified trading candidates, running them on the Long Sell Short Sell (signal) exploration at the end of the daily trading session.
You'll have a variety of long and short trading candidates to choose from, so what you want to do is determine your broad market bias by seeing if the SPX is trading above its nine-week exponential moving average (EMA). If the index is above the average, take only long candidates, and if it's below the average, you'll want to stay on the sidelines in the safety of cash.
Right now, the SPX is well above its nine-week EMA, so let's only consider long positions. What you want to do now is focus on the top 13-week relative strength (versus the SPX) stocks in the list, and then do a little fundamental research to eliminate any stocks that have a poor earnings growth rate projection.
There is one other filtering consideration, one that I discovered by way of extensive testing, and that is to limit the portfolio size to a maximum of four to six stocks, putting on no more than two new positions per day. Putting on positions a little at a time helps limit portfolio drawdown significantly, and can help improve profitability over time.
Finally, once in a position (entering at the next session's open after a buy signal) place a 5% to 7% initial stop-loss and hold it until an opposing sell signal appears.
One version of the basic method allowed me to run a small $8,800 cash stock account up to nearly $9,850 in a little more than four weeks, from early April 2009 to early May 2009. I moved on to other methods that I felt were more promising and less research-intensive later in May 2009, but I was impressed with the method.
The big drawback, of course, is that because of all of the discretionary filtering involved, there is no practical way to accurately back-test such a method. It could easily be forward-tested, however, provided you are patient and self-disciplined.
These LSS trading signals sometimes work best when a stock or exchange traded fund is trading in a well-defined range, or is pulling back just before a major market swing is to commence.
This was from mid-February, so be sure to check current pricing, strength, and moving averages before placing any trade.
This simple trading method may be worth pursuing, but I suggest you only do so in paper-trade mode to see if you could deal with all the daily research and confirmation work needed to operate it. For truly committed and self-disciplined traders, it could be a valuable learning experience.

Technology certainly has come a very long way. We have blown past the data from a simple pedometer that used to be pretty cool back in the 90s. With the use of new advances in various venues of technology like electronics and even health, getting in shape never meant so much technology. Every area of health and fitness has some kind of new gadget, app, or device that incorporates information from the latest health studies with the coolest gadgets. Here are just a few!
Going for a jog is totally different now than it was a few years ago. Yes, you can still go for a run just by putting on your shoes and a pair of shorts, but generally when you see a runner going down the road that isn't the only thing they have with them. Usually a runner will have some sort of iPod or music device playing in their ears to help them stay on track with the rhythm of the music. But did you know they might have an app on their iPhone that tracks their runs for them? Or maybe they have a wrist bracelet that knows their heart rate, gps location, and their sleep patterns. What else more could they have?
Now, going for a jog means a lot more technology. For example: The Fitbit. They have wireless trackers like wristbands that track your sleep and your activity. This is then sent to the cloud wirelessly and it updates your progress online which you can see on your smartphone. Cool huh? It doesn't stop there. These data points allow you to see trends in your quality of sleep, calories burned, steps taken and distance traveled. They also have an app to log your food intake to measure calories and keep up with your diet. Then you can weigh yourself via a wifi smart scale that updates your profile on your account. Overall you can monitor every aspect of your healthy lifestyle so you can get in shape easier with the Fitbit family of gadgets. You can track your runs, your diet, and your rest all with one set of devices.
Swimming has incredible benefits for getting a workout and staying in shape. There's a lot of new technology for swimming pools, such as the endless lap pool. There are even some new fitness pools that have an underwater treadmill. But still, swimming is one of the hardest things to track and monitor. You can't take a logbook to write things down on or keep track with some sort of device without the risk of getting it wet. Until now. Coming soon is the new Instabeat. This gadget has a really creative way of displaying data through your goggles while you swim. This wearable accessory monitors your calories, laps, and your breathing pattern as well. It then can sync with your computer to help you track and monitor your swimming workouts. It has been said that the Instabeat is like the Google Glass for underwater! In addition to the Instabeat, there are other accessories and gadgets that waterproof your current devices like mp3 players and such if you ever want to take your gadgets into the pool.
There are literally hundreds of apps for smartphones that are fitness related. Many of them have tracking tools that help you monitor calories or repetitions while others are a lot more dynamic and useful. RunKeeper is one of the better apps for keeping track of your runs. It can even track where you ran on a map using the GPS within your phone in addition to time based elements such as your mile time. Another fitness app that is changing the game by getting people to go to the gym is called GymPact. This app encourages you to get to the gym by paying you! If you don't go that day, you have to pay them! It works by having the user make a pact to go to the gym on certain days the next week. If they go, they get paid. If they don't go on a day, they are charged. The entire system operates by having users who didn't go to the gym pay for those who do go to the gym. Interesting idea! There are also a lot of various training programs that have created a curriculum within a smartphone app with helpful images and videos such as apps like GAIN Fitness and PocketYoga.
Whether it is a gadget that helps you monitor your workouts or it's an app that helps you get to the gym, technology in fitness is becoming a large factor in today's age. Many look to the use of these gadgets for encouragement and self improvement. Without them, many people may not be exercising as much and getting in shape. Who knows, maybe giving one of these apps a try will help you get into the best shape of your life!


Home / US / Trump slams demeds after the viral photo of children in cages, from Obama's term "misfires"
Trump slams demeds after the viral photo of children in cages, from Obama's term "misfires"
President Trump hit Democrats on Tuesday, sharing pictures of migrant children sleeping in Cages to stop his immigration policy, only to go back after they realized the photos were taken during the Obama administration.
"Democrats falsely tweeted 2014 images of Obama's term showing children from the border in steel cages," Trump tweeted. "They thought it was new pictures to make us look bad, but setbacks."
A photo of children in a cell was repeatedly outraged over the weekend over indignation over the Trump administration's policy of separating illegal immigrants from their children on the southern border.
Trump opponents who shared the photo included activists, journalists and former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau, who said, "This is happening right now, and the only debate that counts is how we force our government To bring these children back to their families as soon as possible. "
This photo and other related images were published in 2014 by The Arizona Republic, deep in Obama's second term. Favreau later deleted the tweet, as did others who had used the images to blow up the Trump administration.
On Tuesday, Trump Adviser Kellyanne Conway told Fox & Friends that the backlash suggests that these critics were only interested in the photos as partisan weapons.
"They did not really care about the history of migrant children," she said.
The photos were spread during a debate on the Ministry of Justice's zero-tolerance policy when it comes to arresting illegal immigrants. This policy applies to all illegal border crossings to law enforcement. Because children can not be held in adult detention centers, they are often separated.
The Department of Justice says the goal is to prevent potential illegal immigrants from crossing the border, even though critics say it is inhuman.
"If you cross the border unlawfully, we will prosecute you, it's as simple as that," said Attorney General Jeff Sessions this month. "If you smuggle a child, we will prosecute you, and that child may be separated from you as the law requires."
On Tuesday, Trump also called for a "two-party law" that would include financing the Wall on the southern border and "new border protection for the good of the country".
It recalls a tweet that Trump sent on Saturday when he called on Democrats to "stop the terrible law of segregating children of [their] parents as soon as they cross the border into the US" and include demands for stricter immigration laws.

Big Tech Companies Mobilize To Disrupt Texas Abortion Law
The following story is brought to you courtesy of The Washington Free Beacon. Click the link to visit their page and see more stories.
Big tech companies are working to disrupt a recently passed Texas law that bans abortions after six weeks.
The law, called SB 8, has come under fire for a provision that lets private citizens report people who facilitate illegal abortions. In the days since it passed, tech companies have joined progressive groups to oppose the bill. GoDaddy, which hosts millions of websites, announced Friday that it would stop supporting a website that allows people to report violations of the law. Days later, Uber and Lyft announced they are establishing legal defense funds for any drivers who are charged with aiding and abetting an illegal abortion. The ride-sharing companies will each donate $1 million to Planned Parenthood.
The incident highlights the increasing power that internet platforms wield in politics. Amazon Web Services kicked off conservative social media app Parler after the app was accused of hosting January 6 rioters. Right-wing app Gab suffered a similar fate in 2018. And PayPal, which has actively censored activists in the past, has announced it will partner with the left-wing Anti-Defamation League to remove the accounts of groups it deems "extremist."
GoDaddy made its announcement in response to a left-wing pressure campaign. After the site was unveiled, activists on TikTok created an automated tool to spam the site with thousands of fake complaints and crude messages. TikTok users employed similar tactics to reduce attendance at a 2020 Trump rally in Tulsa, which they spammed with a wave of fake signups.
When users' attacks did not take the pro-life Texas website down, Gizmodo tech journalist Shoshana Wodinsky called on readers to complain directly to GoDaddy.
GoDaddy gave the website's owner, Texas Right to Life, 24 hours to find a different host for its site. As of Tuesday afternoon, the website no longer exists, and the URL redirects to the homepage for Texas Right to Life. In a statement posted on the group's website, Texas Right to Life director of media and communication Kimberlyn Schwartz wrote that the group "will not be silenced" and vowed to put the website back up.
Other tech companies have taken softer steps to oppose the Texas law. The CEO of Match Group, which owns Tinder and Hinge, announced her opposition to the bill and announced a fund for company employees in Texas to get abortions out of state. Dating app Bumble also created a fund for abortion groups.
Houston-based startup Solugen, a biotech firm backed by major Silicon Valley investors, said it will stop hiring for positions in Texas and look elsewhere. The company cautioned that Texas should change the legislation if it "wants to be a business friendly state." The city council of Portland, Ore., is debating a measure that would ban all purchases of goods or services from the state of Texas.
GoDaddy did not respond to a request for comment.

Q: SQL Server effectiveness of mirroring partial database Our database stores 200 TB of data. We've setup clustering options of two VM nodes with one storage but due to limited resources, we cannot replicate the entire database for disaster recovery (only about 100 GB can be spared at most).
So, I was wondering if it's possible to mirror partial portion of the database.

*

*Distinguish active data, pull them into separate database (maybe at most 20 GB worth of active data)

*Setup database mirroring for new database

Questions:

*

*If partial database is mirrored, should I be worried about performance issue?

*Are there other known solutions to prepare for DR situations?

It may be hard to provide best answer without knowing the detailed specs of servers, and configurations but I'd like to know how other servers are handled with limited resources.
Thank you!

A: I think you should consider transactional replication instead of pulling data into a separate database and then mirror that database.
Replication in my opinion is not a high availability solution because for example it does not provide automatic failover, but I think it fits to your needs because you just want to replicate some tables and you can also apply filters to the published tables so you can replicate just part of the data and not the entire table (in case you want to do something like that). If you want to redirect applications to your replica, you could create a DNS entry pointing to the primary sql instance and set the connection string to use that DNS instead the servername or the ip and you just change the DNS to make it point to the principal instance or the replica so you don't have to touch your applications to failover.
Of course replication look at the limitations of replication and evaluate if this fits your needs.
As you mentioned, it is hard to provide a recommendation without knowing all the specs of your scenario, but I hope this can be an alternative to you situation.

A: Consider following are DR Solution available within SQL Server, but non of them got option for partial sync of database.

*

*Backup

*Log Shipping

*FCI (Multi Sub-net)

*Availability Group

Distinguish active data, pull them into separate database

Based on this i assume that there is no impact on the application when we do database archival, in that case you can proceed database archival using SSIS Packages/Replication/Custom scripts for one-time, and leave active portion of database for application, this would differently improves the performance, and you can plan for DR with following solutions:
Backup (offsite)
It is essential for any database, in your case having archival database backup (1 copy as there are no write operations) off-site would help in disaster recovery time.
Log Shipping
Configure Log shipping for the database (active portion). This basically takes frequent log back from primary site and restores at DR site, since we have control over Log backup schedule we could minimize the overload on the primary server (of course it has to compliance your RTO/RPO)

Fighting out of East Kentucky Combat Club in Paintsville, Ken Beverly is preparing for a fight in Kansas City on Friday, Dec. 11.
Beverly to fight in Kansas City
A Floyd Chronicle and Times Staff Report
Kansas City, here Ken Beverly comes.
Fighting out of East Kentucky Combat Club in Paintsville, Beverly is preparing for his first fight since January when he fought in Atlanta.

15 Who Made An Impact In 2015: Hodges & Johnson
Posted on December 24, 2015 by Kevin Ohlandt
Hodges & Johnson is not the latest detective show hitting television. But it is an appropriate name for the powerhouse behind the Delaware PTA. They really stepped up this year for parent rights. President Dr. Terri Hodges and Vice-President of Advocacy Yvonne Johnson started the year off with a bang by announcing two town halls for those interested in opting their child out of the Smarter Balanced Assessment. I will fully admit to being blown away when I heard this but I quickly got in touch with Dr. H and let her know I was in full support of this.
In March, the duo held the first opt out town hall in New Castle County. To say the first town hall on opt-out was controversial would be an understatement. Confession time again: I truly thought I was advocating on my own for opt-out. I knew others in the state who supported it and a couple school boards were behind it, but in terms of rallying the troops I thought it was going to be a solo act. With that first town hall I knew there was massive support for the rising movement in Delaware. Around the same time, the very controversial House Bill 50 was introduced in the General Assembly, State Rep. Earl Jaques was blasting opt-out parents, and Governor Markell was taking steps in his failed effort to squash the movement.
By the time the second opt-out town hall in Kent County happened a couple weeks later in early March, Brian Touchette from the DOE and Donna Johnson with the State Board of Education were forced to admit there was no law preventing parents from opting out of the Smarter Balanced Assessment. This was a major breakthrough in the opt-out movement and cleared the path for everything that went down at Legislative Hall over the next four months.
Johnson & Hodges, or at least one of their carefully chosen representatives, were present for every single opt-out meeting or vote at Legislative Hall. By the time the Delaware Senate finally passed the bill on June 25th, summer was here and everyone who supported the bill needed a well-earned break. But not even a month later, Delaware Governor Jack Markell vetoed House Bill 50 and spit on parental rights everywhere. Immediately the talk went towards overriding the Governor's veto, but the General Assembly went out of legislative session for six months. Since then, Hodges & Johnson, with the PTA membership, have been gearing up for next month when the legislators return.
In the past few months, the Delaware PTA again stepped up to help prevent the harsh opt-out penalties as part of Delaware's new state accountability system. Unfortunately, Secretary Godowsky caved in to pressure and recommended the opt-out multiplier penalty as opposed to districts and schools having to come up with a plan to prevent opt-out. The State Board of Education approved the final part of their ESEA Flexibility Waiver last month and they are awaiting word from the US DOE on final approval.
I have no doubt that will happen, especially given the stab in the back from the US DOE announced today about definitive funding cuts for states who dip below the 95% participation rate two years in a row. But the Delaware PTA is on it, and the recently announced House Bill Veto Override Parent Rally at Legislative Hall on January 14th will show the legislators parents should not be underestimated. In the thick of it will be Yvonne and Terri, Delaware's own Hodges & Johnson!
Both of them truly believe parents have a voice in education, and they have proved it time and time again. While I don't agree with 100% of everything the PTA endorses, I respect their ability to draw consensus from a large group of parents for whatever they decide as a group. That is how it should be in education, but we have too many Markells and Rodels in our country.

Gravitational Waves Could Reveal How Fast Universe is Expanding
By Team TeekTalks On Jul 12, 2018
The universe has been expanding since it first exploded into existence 13.8 billion years ago. It is dragging along with it hundreds of billions of galaxies and stars, much like raisins in a rapidly rising dough. Hubble constant, which describes the rate at which the universe is expanding can be determined by the Gravitational waves emitted by a rare system, a hugely energetic pairing of a spiralling black hole and a neutron star.
Astronomers have pointed telescopes to certain stars and other cosmic sources to measure their distance from Earth and how fast they are moving away from us – two parameters that are essential to estimate the Hubble constant, a unit of measurement that describes the rate at which the universe is expanding. But to date, the most precise efforts have landed on very different values of the Hubble constant, offering no definitive resolution to exactly how fast the universe is growing.
This new information could shed light on the universe's origins, as well as its fate, and whether the cosmos will expand indefinitely or ultimately collapse. Scientists from MIT and Harvard University have proposed a more accurate and independent way to measure the Hubble constant, using gravitational waves emitted by a relatively rare system: a black hole-neutron star binary.
As these objects circle in toward each other, they should produce space-shaking gravitational waves and a flash of light when they ultimately collide, the flash of light would give scientists an estimate of the system's velocity, or how fast it is moving away from the Earth. The study is published in the journal Physical Review Letters.
The emitted gravitational waves, if detected on Earth, should provide an independent and precise measurement of the system's distance. Even though black hole-neutron star binaries are incredibly rare, researchers calculate that detecting even a few should yield the most accurate value yet for the Hubble constant and the rate of the expanding universe.
Two independent measurements of the Hubble constant were made recently, one using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and another using the European Space Agency's Planck satellite. More optimistically, if black hole-neutron star binaries were slightly more common but still rarer than neutron star binaries, the former would produce a Hubble constant that is four times as accurate.

THE BLIND RAP GOD
WHO IS NOVACAIN THE BLIND RAP GOD?
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, NovaCain has bounced around a lot due to instability. At the age of 18 he completely lost his eyesight. He didn't let that stop them. Since he no longer could see, he could no longer follow his passion of playing basketball. So he put the basketball down and picked up a microphone. After spending years of learning on how to write in his head and working on his delivery, he felt he was finally ready. NovaCain and his younger brother started the group "Paranormal Gang." A year after its formation, NovaCain's brother decided that he wanted to pursue a solo career. This forced NovaCain to go off on his own journey and… The Blind Rap God was born.
In 2017, NovaCain made history as the first blind rapper to reach 1 million Spotify streams on single song on his single "I Should Have Went To College." In 2018 his single "Ray Charles Is Back" received over 100k Spotify streams. The official music video was reacted to by major YouTube influencers and received over 50k views. "Ray Charles Is Back" peaked top 50 on the Digital Radio Tracker charts. Later in 2018, NovaCain released another single "Swag Killin' Everything" produced by Trillville's Don P. It received over 200k Shazams and over 600k Spotify streams. "Swag Killin' Everything" was supported by 40 Mediabase reporting stations throughout the United States and received over 1,200 plays.
In 2019, NovaCain released his most successful single yet entitled "That Booty." Supported by a gorilla Instagram campaign, "That Booty" sold 5k iTunes units in the first week of its release. This accomplishment charted the song #43 on the iTunes US Hip-Hop chart. Since its released, "That Booty" has sold nearly 11k iTunes units and has over 300k Spotify streams. NovaCain has prepared his next single "Daddy Issues" for release on January 3rd, 2020. Can he surpass his past success with this potential viral song? Stay tuned…

'The Real' adds Garcelle Beauvais as newest co-host
By Elizabeth Wagmeister, Variety
August 24, 2020 | 7:02pm
Garcelle Beauvais John Tsiavis/Bravo
Originally Published by:
Tamera Mowry-Housley Exits 'The Real' Talk Show
Garcelle Beauvais Says Her White Counterparts Get Paid More
Garcelle Beauvais Becomes First Black Woman to Join 'RHOBH'
Garcelle Beauvais has been named the newest co-host of "The Real," Variety has learned exclusively.
Beauvais is joining the syndicated talk show, following the departure of Tamera Mowry-Housley, who announced earlier this summer that she had decided to exit the show after six seasons.
The seventh season of "The Real" kicks off on Sept. 21. The panel will feature Beauvais, Loni Love, Jeannie Mai and Adrienne Houghton.
"I am thrilled to be joining the dynamic, bold and diverse women on the award-winning talk show 'The Real,'" Beauvais said. "My love for pop culture and news, blended with my natural gift of gab, has always made me gravitate towards a talk show environment. It's also exciting that it's happening right after my amazing time joining 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.'"
Beauvais became the first black cast member on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" when she joined the Bravo show in 2020. The actress and model is perhaps best known for her stints on "The Jamie Foxx Show" and "NYPD Blue." Recently, she was in "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and the CBS All Access series "Tell Me a Story." She will appear in the upcoming sequel "Coming 2 America," after appearing in the original 1988 film with Eddie Murphy.
"The Real" launched in 2013 with Mowry-Housley, Love, Mai, Houghton and Tamar Braxton, who left the daytime show in 2016. Actress and comedian Amanda Seales was a co-host briefly, joining the show earlier this year in January, before departing this past June.
"The Real" is a rare success story for the syndicated market, which has not seen many new hits emerge over the past decade. The daytime series — which showcases a panel of women offering diverse perspectives on hot topics, hot-button issues, beauty, fashion, relationships and their personal lives — started with a test run on the Fox stations in the summer of 2013, before launching into national syndication in fall 2014.
Beauvais has previously worked with the Fox stations, co-hosting the syndicated entertainment show "Hollywood Today Live" in 2016. She is not the first "Housewives" star to pull double duty on the Bravo franchise and a syndicated series on the Fox stations, as "Real Housewives of Atlanta's" Porsha Williams is part of "Dish Nation."
Like all other daytime talk shows that were impacted by the industry-wide production shutdown, "The Real" began to film remote shows during the coronavirus pandemic, and the upcoming season will continue in the same virtual format when the show returns.
"We are so thrilled to have Garcelle joining our 'virtual' Girl Chat Table," says executive producer Rachel Miskowiec. "Her extensive career in front of and behind the camera, and her willingness to share her life and her points of view on important topics with us make her the perfect addition. We can't wait for Season 7 to begin."
"The Real," which is produced by Telepictures Productions and distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution, has won two NAACP Image Awards and the Daytime Emmy in 2018 for outstanding entertainment talk show hosts. The series has been renewed through Season 8.

As I write this my two fur babies are at the vets being neutered. I do feel sorry for them and hope their ok. They weren't happy when they got in the carrier this morning. Harvey was head butting the carrier door and Scamp just looked sheepish. Someone must have told them they were losing their manhood.
I've missed a few wonderful Wednesday's now - sorry! August has been a crazy month! I will do an August round up post at the end of the week. Let's get on with the wonderful list.
Tea - This week I've bought the twinnings fruit selection box. They are so tasty I just bought another box in Asda this morning. I think the blackcurrant and blueberry tea is my favourite. Best of all they come in individual sachets so I can pop one in my bag to take to work.
Harvey and Scamp - The boys are growing well which isn't surprising the amount they eat. I just don't think they know they are growing.
A country wedding - An old school friend got married last weekend at a country Inn. The day was filled with love, flowers, fun, cider and cheese. Second wedding of the year done, two more to attend.
A bank holiday!?! - I'm usually working bank holiday Monday but this time it fell on my day off. The sun was shining and the hubby and I spent the day relaxing and not really doing much.
Free pens - This may just be me, but I really do get excited over a free pen. I only attend training to get a free pen. Stay in hotels to get the free pen. Pretend to be I interested in trade stands to get the free pen. It makes me happy.
That's me for today, I will be making a August round up post so keep your eyes open for that. I'm off to collect the boys from the vet, hopefully they won't be too sleepy.

Huawei launches the industry's first FTTB Giga Coax Access product
Via Huawei Corporate News
Tokyo, Japan, July 26, 2017: At Japan's Cable Tech Show 2017, the country's biggest exhibition for multiple system operators (MSOs), Huawei launched the MA5633-XB10, the industry's first Giga Coax access product intended for use in corridors. This product follows the trend of moving fibers closer to users on hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) networks, and enhances the series and full-scenario coverage of Huawei's Distributed-Converged Cable Access Platform (D-CCAP) solution. MSOs can deploy the MA5633-XB10 to provide Gigabit services flexibly and quickly.
A view of the Huawei Booth at the Cable Tech Show 2017 in Tokyo
Huawei's D-CCAP solution is a Gigabit coaxial access solution that is specifically tailored for MSOs. This solution moves video and data modulation to remote optical sites to support platform sharing with fiber to the home (FTTH). Huawei's MA5633-XB10 features large capacity, small size, low power consumption, high integration, and an innovative distributed architecture. This product delivers 1000 Mbit/s bandwidth over coaxial cables, allowing for a full range of services, including high-speed Internet access, voice, and video.
Gigabit access on par with FTTH: The MA5633-XB10 supports 32 x 10 DOCSIS 3.0 channels, delivering a downstream rate of 1.6 Gbit/s and an upstream rate of 300 Mbit/s. The high bandwidth allows the MA5633-XB10 to bear 4K and 8K high-definition (HD) videos.
Integrated "Pizza Box" design: The MA5633-XB10 is the industry's smallest coaxial media converter (CMC), and can be installed in a narrow indoor cabinet. It uses innovative streamlined fins for heat dissipation and adopts a fan-free design, reducing power consumption.
Flexible user access: A single MA5633-XB10 can cover a maximum of 256 households, reducing investment costs per household. Additionally, the MA5633-XB10 supports on-demand frequency configuration, enabling operators to flexibly expand device capacities.
Innovative distributed architecture: In line with the industry trend of moving fibers closer to users, the MA5633-XB10 adopts a distributed modular design and supports the transition to FTTH. The MA5633-XB10 can work with the MA5800, a distributed smart OLT deployed at a central office, to support smooth evolution to CloudFAN.
Huawei is committed to providing efficient video and broadband access solutions for MSOs. Huawei's D-CCAP solution has been used on a large scale commercially by mainstream MSOs. It covers over 50 million home broadband users across 30 countries including Denmark, New Zealand, Spain, Mexico, France, Japan, and Brazil.

Q: How is the client presented with the server certificate using AWS mutual TLS? Reading this post, I'm trying to understand how mutual TLS works in AWS. I think I understand the most parts but what is unclear to me is the arrow going from AWS Certificate Manager to the client. I'm guessing this is the server certificate presented to the client.
But does the client need to actively request this or is it handled automatically by the TLS handshake during the call to the API?

A: The line from ACM to the client in the diagram is just ACM issuing the client certificate. It wouldn't make much sense (from a security perspective) for the client to go somewhere else than the server to get the server certificate.
SSL/TLS certificate validation happens during the SSL handshake when the TCP connection between the client and server is initially established.


Elmsavers recently played a crucial role in helping protect over six hundred elm trees in Bathurst, New South Wales.
This was implemented as a part of Bathurst Regional Council's ongoing elm leaf beetle control program. A large-scale outbreak of the elm leaf beetle is generally anticipated during the spring and summer period. All the elm trees within a 2 kilometre radius in the CBD were injected with a pesticide. This protects the trees from damage and defoliation caused by the elm leaf beetle.
This environmentally friendly method includes injecting a pesticide into the trunk of the tree which is then transported to the leaves. The insects feed on the leaves and are poisoned. This treatment is effective within 3 days & protects the tree for up to 3 years.
As a part of the local council's elm leaf beetle control program, Elmsavers will be monitoring the injected trees and re-treat them every 2-3 years. The council also encourages property owners with elm trees to seek services of experts like Elmsavers to treat their elm trees & help preserve them.
Elmsavers has over 30 years of experience in horticultural and arboricultural pest and disease control.

Test of the West Indies' ill-fated tour of England but says a meeting with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) slated for Sunday will take priority.
The former Windies captain will sit down with WICB officials, Antigua's Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer and St. Vincent Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves in St. Vincent to discuss "residual matters", relating to the solution that was brokered last month which paved the way for the Jamaican's return to the team.
At the same time, speculation has been rife that Gayle could fly out to join the struggling side that has lost both Tests of the series and is currently in disarray, especially with a novice top order. "I don't know if I'll eventually get that call (from the selectors) but I have to meet with the board first on the third (of June) and the Test match starts on the seventh, so I don't how that would work," Gayle said on the SportsMax Zone, Tuesday.
Gayle had indicated his unavailability for the Test phase of the England tour, preferring to play the full Indian Premier League (IPL) for Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, his IPL campaign ended early after Royal Challengers failed to reach the playoffs, and it sparked fresh discussion over his involvement in the ongoing Test series.
While the agenda for Sunday's meeting has not been disclosed, among the "residual matters" is expected to be Gayle's role in a multi-million dollar West Indies Players Association lawsuit against the WICB, relating to the issuing of No Objection Certificates.
In correspondence to Gayle last month, the WICB raised concerns about the lawsuit and Gayle's continued participation in the litigation process, especially since he was making himself available for selection.
At the time, Gayle said he could not "possibly contemplate withdrawing unilaterally from proceedings", contending that such a move would affect all West Indies players. The left-handed opener said the meeting with the board was critical in moving forward with his international career.
"It's nothing really to do with the cricket, to be honest with you," Gayle said of the meeting.
"It's other issues to actually deal with at this particular time which the board needs to iron out. We'll see how best we can work that out and see what comes out of it," he said.
Gayle is the region's most experienced opener with 6,373 runs from 91 Tests at an average of 41. He is one of only four players in Test history with two triple centuries.


Manufacturers and commercial banks are looking to effect a Sh4,000 pay rise for employees through tax free lunch schemes in quest to boost productivity.
Digital lunch scheme provider, Apptivate Africa has reported increased interest for its mobile lunch delivery app, M-kula, largely from industries and lenders.
Workers under the scheme are entitled to Sh48,000 in tax-free meal allocations wired directly to their mobile wallet annually, translating to a tax-free pay rise of Sh4,000 per month.
"A number of companies especially in the manufacturing and banking sectors that were lax in early 2018 are now interested in exploring how we can help them," said Apptivate Africa Chief Executive Neil Ribeiro.
Apptivate said improved business environment, investor confidence in 2018 and a growing need to create employee-employer emotional connection, will accelerate demand for mutually benefiting incentives like meal vouchers by companies in 2019.
"Employers are realising they need to provide more than a pay cheque to keep their teams motivated. Food is a basic human need, and a great way to get employees motivated and create an emotional connection between them and the company," said Mr Ribeiro.
The firm says the interest by manufacturers will accelerate momentum and boost the sector's contribution to the economy.
Manufacturing sector's contribution to gross domestic product has stagnated at about 10 per cent over the last few decades.
"We are ready to be part of the big role of re-awakening the sector in line with President Uhuru Kenyatta's Big 4 Agenda on manufacturing," said Ribeiro.
The Presidency has listed policy review for sector and incentives among priority areas to improve the manufacturing sector.

Christmas in Egypt: Brotherhood ID'd as Terrorist Org.
By Shoebat Foundation on December 26, 2013 in General
On June 30, 2012, Mohammed Mursi became the President of Egypt. On June 30, 2013, tens of millions of people took to the streets to demand his removal. On Christmas day, 2012, Mursi hailed the new, sharia-based Constitution he was signing. On Christmas day, 2013, the new government of Egypt officially declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.
Christmas in Egypt: These men are now officially terrorists (no, that's not a Santa hat)
Via Fox News / AP:
Egypt's military-backed interim government on Wednesday declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group, criminalizing all its activities, its financing and even membership to the group from which the country's ousted president hails.
The announcement is a dramatic escalation of the fight between the government and group, which has waged near-daily protests since the July 3 popularly backed military coup that toppled President Mohammed Morsi.
Hossam Eissa, the Minister of Higher Education, read out the Cabinet statement after long meeting, saying: "The Cabinet has declared the Muslim Brotherhood group and its organization as a terrorist organization."
Anyone familiar with the Brotherhood's goals and objectives should view this as another very positive development. Once again, Egypt is providing the west with a blueprint for how to deal with this group.
In the U.S., there is no tolerance for al-Qaeda. Once someone is identified as belonging to the group, that person is essentially ostracized almost unanimously. However, members of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Students Association (MSA), et. al. are given political clout and wield influence within the halls of power.
This shouldn't be so as all of these groups – along with al-Qaeda – reside under the Muslim Brotherhood umbrella. Unfortunately, until the U.S. follows Egypt's lead with regard to all Muslim Brotherhood groups, these groups will continue to grow, unimpeded.
Here are a couple of must-see videos that help to explain exactly why Egyptians acted. First, as is becoming increasingly known, the Brotherhood allied with Nazi Germany. In this first video, the narrator likens the alliance between Hitler and Mussolini to the alliance between Mursi and Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan:
This video illustrates how Mursi lied to the Egyptian people, attempted to steal their freedoms during Christmas of 2012, and why the people demanded his ouster:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is confident that Russia is responsible for recent email hacks of U.S. persons and institutions, according to a statement released on the agency website Oct. 7.
Recent compromised email postings on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks are consistent with "the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts" used to interfere with elections, the report says. DHS representatives stated that only Russia's most senior officials could have authorized these leaks.
However, the United States Intelligence Community (USIC) and DHS stated that the upcoming election is not in danger of being swayed. The report cites the decentralized nature of the American election system and the many different types of voting machines states use as bulwarks against election interference. Voting machines are not connected to the Internet.
In the statement, DHS urged states to look to them for cybersecurity assistance nonetheless. DHS offers cyber hygiene scans and vulnerability assessments to states that ask for them.

We offer 85 new ideas for you kitchen splashbacks - the designs are not only practical and provide protection for the kitchen, but they also look really nice!
Splashbacks for the kitchen - tiled splashbacks. Tiles are a practical solution for a small apartment or a house owner. Who wants to remove the kitchen furniture and cabinets to clean the background wall, paint and then rebuild the cabinets? Instead, the wall can be covered with tile and grouted with special mortar.
Glass splashbacks for the kitchen - a glass splashback has many advantages over a tiled wall. It is easy to clean, can be mounted quickly and you don't need to change the room constructive / its perfect for rental places/. A cheap alternative for glass splashbacks are plastic sheet tiles.
Metal, the material is extremely durable and easy to clean and perfect for a modern and minimalist style.
Granite, marble - granite, and marble look chic and improve the classic cuisine.
Shelf adhesive film, washable wallpaper, and color - these three options have a clear advantage - which is, that they are much cheaper than others. However, if you decide to use wallpaper, paint or film, you should also expect a greater effort - they are less durable and must be refreshed every 2-3 years.

Q: Rails 4, Authorization issue I am using Rails 4 with devise, warden, declarative authorization and omniauth.
When i run the rails server to try and test my initial setup, I get an error message with all of my initial pages.
When i type go to localhost:3000 - i get an error that reads "Invalid strategy some_external_strategy" the error directs me to the application controller - with this method:
 def set_current_user
 Authorization.current_user = current_user
 end

I get the same error with every one of the views that were automatically created as part of the scaffolding generated.
When I try to navigate to localhost:3000/home/index, i get an error that reads: "No route matches [GET] "/home/index"
My routes file has the following in the first line:
root :to => 'home#index'

I have a home_controller.rb that has the following code in it:
class HomeController < ApplicationController

def index

end
end

Any thoughts or advice as to how to fix this issue would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

A: As per my understanding devise gem is moreover comfortable for authentication not for authorization.  If you want to do user authorization, I would suggest you to go with  CanCan  gem rather than using devise. It is simple & efficient gem for authorization purpose.

A: Did you modify config/initializers/devise.rb? I had the same error when I uncommented the Warden configuration part, which includes the following lines:
config.warden do |manager|
    manager.intercept_401 = false
    manager.default_strategies(scope: :user).unshift :some_external_strategy
end
