while most of your wedding day is about documenting those unplanned moments or those 'just married' snuggles, I realize that family photos are just as important. these people are your ride or dies and probably some of the most printed photographs of the day. below are some important tips to help the family portrait part of your wedding day run smoothly!
We are talking about light again. Brainstorm ahead of time where you would like your family portraits. Somewhere with natural even light. Think shade, not bright sun, and somewhere with a non-distracting background. Plain walls or greenery usually work great for this.
Make sure everyone who is in the photo knows where to be and when. There is nothing worse then waiting for dad who is yucking it up with his old work buddy while we are trying to bust through some photos. Dads...gotta love 'em.
This goes back to what I said about getting your posse ready to go. We only have a limited amount of time to get through all these groups so we can focus on the two of you and your bridal party, so make sure all the ducks are in a row.
If you are wearing a veil, make sure to inform people standing next to you to put their hand under so they are not yanking your head back every two seconds. Also tell people to not be afraid to get close to you and go ahead and tuck their feet right under your dress.
Here is my standard family shot list for wedding day family portraits. these are the combinations that I always do at every wedding. If you are wanting any other family groupings, let your photographer know. Keep in mind that this will usually add more time, so plan accordingly.
Want an extended family photo? make sure everyone in the group knows the photo is happening and consider saving it for during the reception! are there special people not necessarily involved in the wedding party that you want your photographer to pay close attention to? Let them know that too so we can focus on them and not random 2nd cousin Bill who got an invite and is partying a too hard on the dance floor.

A Brief History of the French New Wave
What is the French New Wave?
The French New Wave, or Nouvelle Vague, was a film movement that started in the late 1950s in (you guessed it) France.
Of the opinion that cinema had become dated and out of touch, a group of French filmmakers and critics – influenced by Italian Neorealism and directors like Hitchcock and Welles – proposed a new vision for the medium.
Through a series of essays, they laid out their manifesto in influential movie journal, Cahiers du Cinema.
The critics had four main points:
Cinema must be considered an important and significant artform.
Filmmakers should experiment, and develop new formal techniques.
Films must address themes and issues that relate to modern audiences: existentialism, memory, love, childhood and friendship – to name a few.
A film's director had full control over all elements of the film, from script to cinematography and everything in between. This is known as auteur theory.
These critiques were revolutionary for their time, and became the foundations for the French New Wave.
Notable Directors
Generally speaking, the movement's directors were split into two collectives: Cahiers Du Cinema or the Left Bank.
The former, which included luminaries like Claude Chabrol, Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard and Jacques Rivette, produced several outstanding films that, for many, define the New Wave.
At the time, the Left Bank was less associated with the medium than the cinéastes of Cahiers.
However, this looser relationship had its advantages. Free from the formal constraints and expectations of traditional filmmaking, the Left Bank incorporated other forms – like literature, poetry and documentary – in their movies.
This cross-disciplinary approach led to some of the era's most unique and interesting films.
Some names you might recognise from this group include Agnès Varda, Chris Marker and Alain Resnais.
These directors used techniques that were bold, new and experimental.
Two famous examples are Jean-Luc Godard's rapid-fire jump cuts in À bout de souffle, which give it its unpredictable, energetic, "breathless" feel, and Francois Truffaut's iconic tracking shots in Les 400 Coups:
Others developments include shooting on location, the use of direct sound and natural light, and filming with handheld cameras.
In terms of themes, filmmakers focussed on the personal, philosophical and political concerns of mid-20th century France.
Agnes Varda's Cléo de 5 à 7, for instance, is a powerful look at existence, illness and fame, while Truffaut's Jules et Jim and Jacques Rozier's Adieu Philippine capture the anxiety, confusion and liberation of the post-war years.
Another notable feature was the use of ironic and sarcastic humour, rhetorical devices used to great (and often hilarious) effect.
It's a tough ask listing all of the great New Wave films! There are so many worth watching. Nevertheless, here are some absolute must-sees.
Hiroshima Mon Amour (dir. Alain Resnais)
Les 400 Coups (dir. Francois Truffaut)
Jules et Jim (dir. Francois Truffaut)
Cléo de 5 à 7 (dir. Agnes Varda)
Claire's Knee (dir. Eric Rohmer)
À bout de souffle (dir. Jean-Luc Godard)
Les Bonnes Femmes (dir. Claude Chabrol)
Lola (dir. Jacques Demy)
Paris Nous Appartient (dir. Jacques Rivette)
Take your pick; they're all fantastic.
In this excellent article, Miss Rosen describes how auteur theory changed cinema forever:
Rejecting the established language of cinema, it placed the power with the director, who would stamp their personal signature on the work so that the hand of the artist was felt from start to finish.
We can see the impact of this on the many stylists (or auteurs) of today.
Tarantino, Scorcese, the Coens and Nolan, for instance, have created bodies of work that are unmistakeably their own; this is a direct influence of the New Wave's insistence on directorial autonomy.
Also, the movement's storytelling and filmmaking techniques, so bold and adventurous back then, are now ingrained in cinema.
Take handheld cameras, as just one example. Used in everything from 28 Days Later to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to Saving Private Ryan, you can't imagine contemporary movies without them.
But if I haven't convinced you, maybe Marty Scorsese himself will. Check out the below vid, where the huge influence the French New Wave had on his work:
Is it a stretch to say that the Nouvelle Vague created modern cinema?
It sounds like hyperbole, but it's fair to say the likes of Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas arguably wouldn't exist without it. Or, if they did, would certainly be very different.
Cultural and artistic significance aside, the films still hold up.
The best are funny, smart, profound, exciting and fun. In terms of visuals, style and themes, they don't feel or look dated; which is quite something when you consider that some are close to seventy years old.
So, there you have it! The French New Wave.
It took the rulebook, ripped it up, wrote a new one, and, in the end, changed cinema forever.

Q: How can a JSP fragment include its dependencies into the parent's head tag? I have a JSP file called header.jsp which looks like this.
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="/c" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fn" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
...
</head>
<body>

I then have a content fragment which looks like this.
<jsp:include page="../header.jsp" />
My Page Content Here.

If that content fragment has certain dependencies like CSS and Javascript includes which have to go inside the head tag, how can I include them there?  Each fragment might have its own set of CSS and Javascript files which are different, and I don't want to include every single possible CSS and Javascript file I might use into the header for every single page.  What's the proper way to handle this?  I'm a dumb intern at a startup, so forgive my ignorance.  Thank you in advanced.

A: It's easy, you can do the following by using <jsp:invoke /> tag instead of the <include /> tag. It's new for jsp 2.0 and allows you to take some fragments from one page to another, making very easy the task of building templates. You can check a tutorial here.
And this is the way to solve your problem:
Create a tag folder and put this in it.
template.tag
<%@tag description="Main template of the page" pageEncoding="UTF-8" trimDirectiveWhitespaces="true" %>

<%@attribute name="header" fragment="true" required="false" %>
<html>
    <head>
        ...some css and javasctipt used on all the pages...
        <!-- Custom css and javascript for one page -->
        <jsp:invoke fragment="header"/>
    </head>
    <body>
        <jsp:doBody />
    </body>
</html>

Use the previous template on your page by including the tag folder:
useOfTemplate.jsp
<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>

<%@taglib prefix="custom" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>

<custom:template>
    <jsp:attribute name="header">
        ...Here you can include your custom css and javascript for this page...
    </jsp:attribute>
    <jsp:body>
        ...here comes the info of the page...

Cape Breton University Employees Plan for Future at Annual Grand Meeting
At the Annual Grand Meeting of Cape Breton University (CBU), more than 350 employees gathered in Membertou, N.S., to reflect on year one of the University's strategic plan and to discuss ideas moving into year two of the five-year plan.
"We will soon mark the completion of year one of our strategic plan, and thanks to the drive, commitment and hard work of the faculty and staff of Cape Breton University, it has been an exceptional year. We've advanced many initiatives in support of our five strategic directions and will continue to work toward our goals for the betterment of our University and Cape Breton Island," says David C. Dingwall, President & Vice-Chancellor, Cape Breton University.
Highlights of the day include the unveiling of a new brand for Cape Breton University including a refreshed visual identity and logo. The rebrand expresses the University's strategic ambitions and strong connection to place, reflecting who CBU is and what CBU stands for. The brand will roll out starting today, with a newly designed website set to launch in late September.
It was announced at the meeting that Keith Macleod and Gail Matheson, both originally from Cape Breton and CBU grads of the Engineering Technology Program now living in Cape Breton, have donated $1 Million to establish student awards. Matheson, Eng Tech '80 and MacLeod, Eng Tech 79, say, "We received a lot from our time at CBU and felt it important to give back. Our family is settled now, and we established this fund to support island students to allow them to focus on their studies and lessen their financial concerns."
At the meeting, employees were asked to provide input on a draft Academic Plan for Cape Breton University. Themed, "Transformation Through Inquiry", the plan sets out bold academic goals in support of the University's strategic plan. The finalized plan will be tabled to the Senate and Board of Governors later in the fall.
Employee wellness and professional development were also topics of discussion. Stephen Augustine, Associate Vice-President, Indigenous Affairs and Unama'ki College announced, Learning the L'nu Way, a new online learning experience that will soon be available to CBU employees interested in learning about L'nu People, their history, and their culture. The Grand Meeting also presented a great opportunity to begin a campus wide discussion about wellness. The information gathered will be used to inform the development of a comprehensive wellness strategy for CBU.
To make it possible for all employees to attend the Grand Meeting, the University was closed for the day.


Material estimating can be simple to complex depending on the particular job you are estimating. Raw material is a commodity which could include metal sheets, wood, bars, plastic, plates, block of metal, etc. These items are purchased from a supplier and are usually priced at a per unit weight price.
3. The raw material may be priced per linear length, example wood be a tube would be priced at $2.00 per linear foot.
As shown above you need to know the Part Weight, Unit Required and or Part Length. Next you need to know the price that will be charged from the supplier and you will have the cost.
In the next blog entry the calculation of Part Weight will be discussed.

Norwegian Police Security Services Worries Russian Espionage Is A Threat to Norway
Photo: Пресс-служба Президента России
"We are more concerned now than before for what could result of illegal intelligence activities,"
says the head officer of the Police Security Services, Bendicte Bjørland to NRK.
She goes on to explain that the biggest cause for concern is the illegal charting of Norwegian security, military and emergency services.
Russian Norwegians May Be At Risk
Security services are saying that Russian intelligence services are targeting individuals and their families in order to get information. Bjørland warns NRK that people with family in Russia are at a higher risk of being targeted by Russian officials.
Police Security Services have previously reported that Russian intelligence has specifically threatened individuals living in Norway as refugees.
"We get messages from individuals and companies claiming that they have been subjected to illegal intelligence activities,"
says Bjørland to NRK.
Norway Provokes Russia
Last month, the Russian embassy in Oslo released a statement saying that they felt provoked due to NATO's position in Norway.
The statement reads: "NATO military preparations near the Russian border including Norway, to whom Russia has never posed nor poses a threat, having increased the deployment of the United State's heavy weapons and additional troops on a rotational basis in a number of countries in Eastern Europe and the Baltics, provokes tension and the undermines the existing balance of power in Europe."
Deployment of American soldiers in Norway could be a reason for the espionage.

The cardiac complications of recreational drug use
Azad Ghuran1 and Jim Nolan2
Author information ► Copyright and License information ►
The use of recreational drugs has reached epidemic proportions in many countries and threatens to overwhelm economic, social, and health care systems. It is estimated that almost 1 in 4 people in developed countries have used recreational drugs at some time during their life. It is therefore inevitable that many doctors will have to manage and treat the ill effects associated with the abuse of these drugs.
In addition to their effects on the central nervous system, many of these agents induce profound changes in the heart and circulation that are responsible for a significant proportion of drug-related morbidity. This article reviews the cardiovascular complications associated with some of the commonly used recreational drugs.
The abuse of recreational drugs is common and it is inevitable that doctors will have to manage and treat their associated ill effects
Recreational drugs are complex and can induce profound changes in cardiovascular function, both acute and chronic
Recreational drugs are often taken together, which can result in complex synergistic interactions with potentially detrimental effects
A high index of suspicion with early intervention and management is often the key to successful treatment
Data were obtained by electronically searching MEDLINE, Embase, Poisindex (Micromedex Healthcare Series 2000), and standard textbooks of pharmacology and toxicology. Specific drugs or their chemical names were used as the main search term.
DRUGS AND SUBSTANCES
Cocaine, amphetamine, and ecstasy
Cocaine, amphetamine, and ecstasy all share similar adverse effects on the cardiovascular system, related predominantly to sympathetic nervous system activation. Cocaine and its free-base form crack act by inhibiting the re-uptake of norepinephrine and dopamine at sympathetic nerve terminals. Circulating catecholamine concentrations can be elevated as much as 5-fold in cocaine users.1 At high doses, cocaine can impair myocyte electrical conduction and contractility.1
Amphetamine and its derivative ecstasy produce indirect sympathetic activation by releasing norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin from central and autonomic nervous system terminals. terminals.
Suggested mechanisms by which cocaine, amphetamine, and ecstasy can cause hypotension
Paradoxical suppression of the central sympathetic nervous system
Relative catecholamine depletion
Acute myocardial depression due to ischemia, direct toxic effect of the drug
Mechanical complications, such as acute aortic rupture, tension pneumothorax, pneumopericardium
Clinical effects
Sympathetic activation can lead to varying degrees of tachycardia, vasoconstriction, unpredictable blood pressure effects, and arrhythmias, depending on the dose taken and the presence or absence of coexisting cardiovascular disease.
Blood pressure changes
The high levels of circulating catecholamines and sympathetic activation commonly cause hypertension. However, hypotension can also occur (see box).2
Myocardial ischemia and infarction
Cocaine and amphetamine can cause myocardial ischemia and infarction in patients with or without coronary artery disease. The mechanism is uncertain, but may be related to the elevated catecholamine concentration, which increases myocardial oxygen demand, coronary artery spasm, platelet aggregation, and thrombus formation.2,3,4 Cocaine can produce a procoagulant effect by decreasing concentrations of protein C and antithrombin 3 and potentiating thromboxane production.2
Long-term use of cocaine and amphetamine can cause repetitive episodes of coronary spasm and paroxysms of hypertension, which may result in endothelial damage, coronary artery dissection, and acceleration of atherosclerosis.
Aortic dissection, valvular damage, and endocarditis
Paroxysmal increases in blood pressure can lead to aortic dissection or valvular damage that increases the risk of endocarditis affecting mainly left-sided cardiac structures.1 Endocarditis is often associated with unusual organisms such as Candida, Pseudomonas, or Klebsiella and frequently has an aggressive clinical course with marked valvular destruction, abscess formation, and a need for surgical intervention.
Prolonged administration of cocaine or amphetamines can also lead to a dilated cardiomyopathy.2 Etiologic mechanisms include repeated episodes of subendocardial ischemia and fibrosis and myocyte necrosis produced by exposure to excessive catecholamine concentrations, infectious agents, and heavy metal contaminants (manganese is present in some cocaine preparations).
Pulmonary edema and pulmonary hypertension
Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema and pulmonary hypertension can also occur with cocaine and amphetamine misuse, although the precise underlying mechanism remains unknown.
The adverse cardiovascular changes and sympathetic stimulation associated with cocaine and amphetamine ingestion predispose to myocardial electrical instability, precipitating a wide and unpredictable range of supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmias. The presence of fibrotic scars, myocardial ischemia, and left ventricular hypertrophy can act as a substrate for arrhythmogenesis. Cocaine possesses class 1 antiarrhythmic properties (blocks sodium channels) and can impair cardiac conduction causing prolongation of the PR interval, QRS complex, and QT interval. Cocaine can also cause a wide range of bradyarrhythmias, including sinus arrest and atrioventricular block.
Pneumothorax and pneumopericardium
Cocaine inhalation in association with a forced Valsalva maneuver (the positive ventilatory pressure increases drug absorption and therefore enhances the drug effect) can rarely give rise to a pneumothorax or pneumopericardium.
Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin ("magic mushrooms")
Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin are commonly used hallucinogenic agents that are structurally related and have similar physiologic, pharmacologic, and clinical effects. LSD is about 100 times more potent than psilocybin. Their mechanisms of action are complex with various agonist, partial agonist, and antagonist effects at serotonergic, dopaminergic, and adrenergic receptors.2
The adrenergic effects of these drugs are usually mild and can give rise to general sympathetic arousal leading to dilated pupils, tachycardia, hypertension, and hyperreflexia. Although cardiovascular complications are rarely serious, supraventricular tachyarrhythmias and myocardial infarction have been reported.5 Changes in serotonin-induced platelet aggregation and sympathetically induced arterial vasospasm may have been contributory factors leading to the onset of myocardial infarction.5
Narcotic analgesics
Morphine and its semisynthetic analogue heroin are the most commonly used recreational narcotic drugs. Narcotic agents act centrally on the vasomotor center to increase parasympathetic and reduce sympathetic activity.
These autonomic changes, combined with histamine release from mast cell degranulation, can result in bradycardia and hypotension. Cardiac arrhythmias—including premature atrial and ventricular ectopic activity, atrial fibrillation, idioventricular rhythm, and ventricular tachyarrhythmias—have all been reported.2 Bacterial endocarditis, affecting mainly right-sided cardiac structures, is a well-known complication of intravenous narcotic drug abuse, and it is sometimes associated with pulmonary abscesses. Heroin overdose can cause noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, the onset of which can be delayed for up to 24 hours after admission.6 A disruption in alveolar-capillary membrane integrity has been suggested as a mechanism.
Volatile substance abuse
The abuse of volatile substances is an increasing problem among young male adolescents. The products used are legal, cheap, and easily available. Following inhalation, feelings of euphoria, excitement, and invulnerability can occur rapidly, but are short-lived.
Cardiac arrhythmias are presumed to be the main cause of death from volatile substance abuse. Volatile substances may induce supraventricular or ventricular tachyarrhythmias by sympathetic activation or by myocardial sensitization to circulating catecholamines.7 Some abusers spray the substances directly into the mouth, which can result in intense vagal stimulation and a reflex bradycardia. Profound bradycardia can evolve into asystole or secondary ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Some volatile compounds can reduce sinoatrial node automaticity, prolong the PR interval, and induce atrioventricular block.2 Myocardial ischemia and infarction have been reported and are believed to be caused by a combination of coronary vasospasm, hypoxia caused by the formation of carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobinemia, or excessive sympathetic stimulation.2Long-term misuse can induce a poorly characterized cardiomyopathy.8
Cannabis has a biphasic effect on the autonomic nervous system, depending on the dose absorbed.3 Low or moderate doses can increase sympathetic and reduce parasympathetic activity, producing a tachycardia and an increase in cardiac output. In contrast, higher doses inhibit sympathetic and increase parasympathetic activity, resulting in bradycardia and hypotension. Reversible ECG abnormalities affecting the P and T waves and the ST segment have been reported.9It is not clear whether these changes occurred as a direct result of cannabis, independent of its effect on the heart rate.
Although supraventricular and ventricular ectopic activity can occur, life-threatening tachy- or bradyarrhythmias have not been reported. In patients with ischemic heart disease, cannabis increases the frequency of anginal symptoms at low levels of exercise. This occurs as a result of a drug-induced increase in heart rate and myocardial contractility that increases myocardial oxygen demand.2
The abuse of illegal drugs is endemic in society and has the potential to cause major acute changes in cardiovascular function and irreversible damage to the heart. These drugs are frequently taken together as "cocktails," often in conjunction with alcohol. These combinations can have complex synergistic interactions, with potentially detrimental effects.
Many patients who present with complications will be unable or unwilling to provide a history of illegal drug use. Recreational drug use should always be suspected and looked for in patients presenting with unexplained or unusual cardiovascular disturbances associated with mood disturbances or central nervous system dysfunction. As drug misuse continues to permeate every level of society, it is inevitable that physicians will have to manage the devastating complications of these compounds. An awareness of the life-threatening cardiovascular effects, along with early diagnosis and intervention, is often the key to successful treatment.
Recreational drug use has become more widespread

Male thyroid cancer survivors face 50 percent higher risk of heart disease than women
Washington, DC May 29, 2018
Obesity also raises cardiovascular risk among thyroid cancer survivors
Male thyroid cancer survivors have a nearly 50 percent higher risk of developing heart disease than women within five years of cancer diagnosis, according to a new study published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
Thyroid cancer occurs when cancerous tumors or nodules grow in the thyroid, the butterfly-shaped gland at the front of the neck. It is the fastest growing cancer in the United States, in both men and women, with more than 62,000 new cases diagnosed every year. Thyroid cancer is often diagnosed in young people and has a five-year survival rate of 98 percent. These survivors need to be aware of how their cancer treatment impacts their long-term health.
"Thyroid cancer survivors are at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD)," said one of the study's main authors, Mia Hashibe, Ph.D., of Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah. "Our study found that male thyroid cancer survivors have an almost 50 percent higher risk of developing CVD than women, while thyroid cancer survivors with obesity have a 41 percent higher risk."
In the cohort study, researchers studied the medical records of nearly 4,000 thyroid cancer survivors over a 15-year period using the statewide Utah Population Database. The researchers examined potential risk factors, treatment effects, and CVD outcomes in this population. Factors like sex, baseline weight, and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) therapy were associated with higher CVD risk within five years of cancer diagnosis.
The study found male thyroid cancer survivors face a nearly 50 percent higher risk of developing CVD than women. Thyroid cancer survivors who have obesity have a 41 percent higher risk, and individuals whose TSH levels were suppressed as part of their cancer treatment have a 25 percent higher risk of developing CVD.
"Our findings suggest that thyroid cancer survivors should be continuously monitored and screened for CVD for both earlier detection and better preventative care," Hashibe said.
Other authors of the study include: Jihye Park, Brenna Blackburn, Anne Kirchhoff, Dev Abraham and Marcus Monroe of Huntsman Cancer Institute and Utah School of Medicine in Salt Lake City, Utah; Patricia Ganz of UCLA in Los Angeles, Calif.; Kerry Rowe and John Snyder of Intermountain Healthcare in Salt Lake City; Yuan Wan, Alison Fraser and Ken Smith of Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City; Vikrant Deshmukh, Kim Herget and Jaewhan Kim of University of Utah in Salt Lake City; and Michael Newman of Huntsman Cancer Institute and University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
The study was supported by research grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Huntsman Cancer Institute and the National Center for Research Resources, with additional support from the Utah State Department of Health and the University of Utah.
The study, "Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease among Thyroid Cancer Survivors: Findings from the Utah Cancer Survivors Study," was published online, ahead of print.

SQL optimization (SPSS Modeler)
You can push many data preparation and mining operations directly in your database.
One of the most powerful capabilities of SPSS Modeler is the ability to perform many data preparation and mining operations directly in the database. By generating SQL code that can be pushed back to the database for execution, many operations, such as sampling, sorting, deriving new fields, and certain types of graphing, can be performed in the database rather than on the client or server computer. When you're working with large datasets, these pushbacks can dramatically enhance performance in several ways:
By reducing the size of the result set to be transferred from the DBMS to Watson Studio. When large result sets are read through an ODBC driver, network I/O or driver inefficiencies may result. For this reason, the operations that benefit most from SQL optimization are row and column selection and aggregation (Select, Sample, Aggregate nodes), which typically reduce the size of the dataset to be transferred. Data can also be cached to a temporary table in the database at critical points in the flow (after a Merge or Select node, for example) to further improve performance.
By making use of the performance and scalability of the database. Efficiency is increased because a DBMS can often take advantage of parallel processing, more powerful hardware, more sophisticated management of disk storage, and the presence of indexes.
Given these advantages, Watson Studio is designed to maximize the amount of SQL generated by each SPSS Modeler flow so that only those operations that can't be compiled to SQL are executed by Watson Studio. Because of limitations in what can be expressed in standard SQL (SQL-92), however, certain operations may not be supported.
The following databases are currently supported:
When running a flow, nodes that push back to your database are highlighted with a small purple icon on the node. When you start making edits to a flow after running it, the icons will be removed until the next time you run the flow.
Figure 1. SQL pushback indicator
If a node can't be pushed back, all subsequent nodes in the flow won't be pushed back either (pushback stops at that node). This may impact how you want to organize the order of nodes in your flow.
Notes: Keep the following information in mind regarding SQL:
Because of minor differences in SQL implementation, flows that run in a database may return slightly different results when executed in Watson Studio. These differences may also vary depending on the database vendor, for similar reasons. For example, depending on the database configuration for case sensitivity in string comparison and string collation, SPSS Modeler flows that run using SQL pushback may produce different results from those that run without SQL pushback. Contact your database administrator for advice on configuring your database. To maximize compatibility with Watson Studio, database string comparisons should be case sensitive.
When using Watson Studio to generate SQL, it's possible the result using SQL pushback is not consistent on some platforms (Linux/zLinux, for example). This is because floating point is handled differently on different platforms.
When flows run in a Netezza database, date and time details are taken from that database. This may differ from your local date and time if, for example, the database is on a machine that's located in a different country or time zone.

The two books, Bargain with Lucifer and Brother Devil, are the stories of the Devereaux family from the Louisiana plantation of San Souci, just outside of New Orleans. Both books feature the brothers, Lucifer "Luc" Devereaux, his younger (and some say more angelic) brother, Michiel, their gran'-pere, Jean-Luc, and Michel's wife, Clarice Duncan Devereaux, who used to be Luc's girlfriend.
The story also features Julie Richmond, who begins the first book in Dallas as a widow with a young four year old daughter, Merry. She is struggling to make it after the death of her husband. Luc is in a bind, looking for a ready-made family. He has to be married and settled down by the time he turns thirty, rapidly coming up in November. He has told his Gran'pere that he is already married and has a child, and is already settled down. Now the old man is ill and wants to meet his grandson's family.
Luc meets Julie and Merry in a 7-11 where Julie is trying to talk the manager into giving them credit for groceries because they are broke. Merry talks Luc into getting her a donut. Julie gets angry at Luc for giving the child something without asking, and Luc sees his way out of the problem he is in. He confides in Julie that he has a solution for her problems. She thinks he expects a prostitute. But when he finally gets her attention, which is hard to do, she ends up marrying him, just until after he gets his inheritance. Then he will divorce her and give her a sizeable settlement which will allow her and Merry to live comfortably.
Of course, we all know this set up is just begging to make trouble and Toni V. Sweeney, writing as Icy Snow Blackstone, does not disappoint. With Clarice scheming from the beginning to take Luc back as a lover (no matter that she's married to his brother and Luc is married now), and Michel and Luc re-kindling their sibling rivalry that threatens to hasten their Gran'-pere's death with the arguments and fights, and the fact that both Luc and Julie are trying not to fall in love, but are doing so despite their best efforts. Bargain with Lucifer is like a wonderful layer cake of storylines, all chocolate and gooey. It's not often that I will savor a book, go back and re-read a section, and start telling my husband "You will not BELIEVE what this character is doing, let me read it to you." But the antics in this book had me doing just that. I don't want to go into more details about the things in the book, but to tell you that it is well worth picking up and reading it.
But don't pick it up without getting the second book, Brother Devil. It picks up right after the end of Bargain With Lucifer, and it centers around Luc's brother, Michel. Something happens at the end of the first book that spins the family out of control, something I'm letting you find out about on your own. Luc goes back to Dallas to take care of his business and go into psychological counseling to try to exorcise his past demons and become someone Julie can love. Michel, in contrast, tries to become his older brother in his youth. Lies, arguments, and old histories come back to San Souci to threaten the Devereaux family even further. Julie, left behind by Luc, is managing the house and family and trying to keep things under control and watching Michel spin out of control. Their fights and arguments wear on the family and staff.
Brother Devil did not disappoint. There were times when I wanted to call Luc up and yell at him and times I wanted to smack Michel into having some sense. Those urges are ones that say that the book I'm reading is so good, it's sucked me into it. And these books both did it. I have them on my "to be read again" list because I am certain there is something else in it I've missed, it's that rich.
I give each five stars, a total ten and if I could give it more, I would. Go give these books a read, you won't regret it!

Q: Ubuntu Gnome 14.04: stop upgrading old kernel I recently upgraded the kernel in Ubuntu 14.04 from 3.13 to 3.16. But the Updater (or apt) keeps insisting on upgrading the 3.13 branch. How to stop this behavior? Is it safe to remove all 3.13 kernels?
Thank you

A: You need to remove meta packages.
sudo apt-get remove linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic
You installed new 3.16 meta packages linux-image-generic-lts-utopic and linux-headers-generic-lts-utopic that will upgrade 3.16.

Group calls for change in Conway
by Jeannie Roberts | August 26, 2020 at 7:26 a.m.
A group of protesters in Conway.
CONWAY -- The Police Department released little information Tuesday about its completed internal investigation into the death in February of a Black man who was being arrested after a shoplifting accusation.
Meanwhile, a group denied its request to address the City Council on Tuesday night about race relations protested outside City Hall. A group of armed people also stood in the area, some of its members claiming they were ready to defend the city should the first group start to riot.
Lionel Morris, 39, of Conway died Feb. 4 after a stun gun was used on him numerous times as he ran from and struggled with officers. He was suspected of shoplifting at the Harps Food Store at 1120 E. German Lane.
In late July, the 20th Judicial Circuit's prosecutor determined there was no evidence of criminal wrongdoing by police officers in Morris' death, which was investigated by the Arkansas State Police.
At that point, Police Chief William Tapley initiated a professional standards investigation into the matter. Mayor Bart Castleberry announced he asked the officers involved be placed on paid administrative leave while the internal investigation was done.
"The Conway Police Department is continually striving to find ways to better serve our community," Tapley said Tuesday. "After reviewing the incident, we have begun the process of implementing new practices and procedures that we believe will result in strengthening the relationships and trust between the department and those we serve."
The Police Department wouldn't release any details or actions taken as a result of the internal investigation, only to say, "Nobody was terminated," said Police Department spokeswoman LaTresha Woodruff.
"At this time the department has addressed any personnel and policy issues discovered during the investigation. Specifics or records regarding or relating to the investigation and any resulting personnel action are deemed closed and per Arkansas law, not subject to public disclosure," the statement said.
PROTEST AND ACCESS
A few dozen Black Lives Matter protesters stood in front of City Hall on Tuesday evening, holding signs, singing songs and yelling chants.
"I say, 'Lionel,' you say?" Yaminah Cummins, screamed into the megaphone.
"Morris," the crowd responded, throwing their fists in the air.
"When I say George, you say?" Cummins yelled.
"Floyd," the crowd roared back.
In May, George Floyd, a Black man, died in Minneapolis while being pinned down under the knee of a white police officer. The incident sparked protests and riots across the country.
Across the street from City Hall, nearly two dozen counterprotesters, most dressed in camouflage and gripping rifles, lined the sidewalk. One man played loud music from his pickup with a megaphone held to the speaker.
When approached by a reporter, the man screamed, "Don't come near me!"
Many wore patches bearing the name "Arkansas Patriots."
A man others pointed to as the leader of the group wouldn't give his name because he "has family to protect" but said they were there to "back the blue."
"We're exercising our Second Amendment rights," he said, gripping his rifle tighter. "We're going to stay peaceful. Everybody's got a right to protest. Most of us are ex-military or police. We're here to back the police if they need our help."
The man said there were "30 or 40" more Arkansas Patriots stationed on the outskirts of town and the group was ready if the Black Lives Matter group began rioting or destroying property.
"We're not going to have another Wisconsin here," he said, referring to the protests and destruction in Kenosha, Wis., after the shooting this week of Jacob Blake by a police officer. Blake was injured.
Many of the Black Lives Matter protesters in Conway were also members of the grassroots group "Reinvest In Conway." Cummings said the group's request made last week to be placed on the City Council agenda for Tuesday's meeting had been denied with "no explanation."
The group presented a proposal to the city, she said, with the most urgent demand being a request to hold a town hall meeting to discuss solutions to Conway's racial issues.
On Tuesday, Castleberry said one of the group's demands was to defund the Police Department. He said the group protesting Tuesday previously met with him, the city attorney and "multiple members of the City Council."
"They have an open invitation to come by the city attorney's office at any time. They have been heard," Castleberry said. "As I have already stated, I will not defund the Conway Police Department."
Castleberry added City Council meetings are for conducting city business.
"Any policy changes concerning the Conway Police Department should be brought to the City Council by the chief of police if he desires," Castleberry said.
In late July, Castleberry ordered the release of all video and audio footage of Morris' death and the release of dozens of investigative files of the incident. The mayor also invited several community leaders to view the video and offer feedback.
"We've met with multiple community organizations and groups on several occasions," Castleberry said Tuesday. "We've had Zoom [videoconference] calls and conducted in-person meetings. We will continue to listen to the community and hear their concerns."
DEPARTMENT CHANGES
Woodruff, the police spokeswoman, said nobody was available to answer questions about any personnel actions taken, which policy issues were changed and which new practices and procedures were implemented.
"This morning Chief Tapley advised me that he had concluded the internal review regarding Lionel Morris," Castleberry said. "I stand with Chief Tapley and fully support him and the men and women of the Conway Police Department."
A state Crime Laboratory report dated Feb. 6 and obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request stated the cause of Morris' death was "methamphetamine intoxication with exertion, struggle, restraint and conducted electrical weapon deployment."
In a redacted video of the event, released last month by the Police Department, two officers -- Hannah Fleming and Joshua Kear -- can be seen approaching Morris and a woman in an aisle of the store.
The store's manager had shown the officers an empty box previously containing a drone. When they approached Morris and the woman, Brandy Arnold, officers saw an unboxed drone and a box of half-eaten catfish strips in their cart, according to arrest reports.
Morris told the officers they intended to pay for the drone, and took it out of the box only because the box was damaged.
Arnold was handcuffed without incident, but Morris bolted and a chase ensued through the store.
A stun gun was used on Morris several times during the chase. Morris can be seen at one point placing Kear in a chokehold and grabbing for a knife on the officer's pocket. The officer threw the knife away from where they were.
Other officers arrived and subdued Morris.
In the video, Morris yells, "I can't breathe," to which an officer replies, "If you can talk, you can breathe. Chill out."
Morris repeatedly says he can't breathe, as the officer stands with a foot on Morris' back.
Tapley said the video shows Morris was placed "in the recovery position," and treatment began for injuries he had received.
Medical help was requested before Morris was detained, Tapley said. Paramedics administered CPR.
The incident lasted about 6½ minutes before Morris died.

The Gilt City Warehouse Sale recently paraded through the city of Miami at Ice Palace, where I was invited to preview the designer pieces prior to the opening.
Private screening of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire with CoverGirl!
During Art Basel, the Gale South Beach hosted one of the most stylish lounges featuring Absolut Tune, Pavan, Perrier sips, Jamaican grub, and ASOS gift cards for each guest!
Happy Cyber Monday! In my opinion, Cyber Monday is much less of a hassle than Black Friday but equally exciting for shopaholics alike. While I'm on the topic of shopaholics, I was recently invited to the VIP Gilt City Miami Warehouse Sale event which is where media and/or VIP guests have first dibs on the designer items sold at the Gilt City Miami Warehouse Sale. Vogue deemed the Gilt City Warehouse Sale the "online shopping phenomenon," and this year's Miami sale was held at Ice Palace for a weekend of fashion and fun.
As an avid Gilt fan, I couldn't possibly miss the chance to snag designer goodies at a fraction of the price. This year's reception was even better with its Infiniti partnership alongside designers Zac Posen and Thom Browne. Posen and Browne designed some uber fab custom vehicles for Infiniti that were unveiled at the VIP reception. I had a hard time selecting my favorite between the bedazzled Oxblood toned Zac Posen car and Thom Browne's chromed out beauty with designer luggage in the trunk!
Gilt Groupe Founders Alexandra Wilkis Wilson and Alexis Maybank presented the Infiniti vehicles and announced the opening of the warehouse sale for guests.
If you watched my video that I posted yesterday merging a magnetic nail tutorial and a briefing on the Gilt City Miami warehouse event, then the following post will fit appropriately. As I mentioned, I recently went to the Gilt City event here in Miami where invited guests were given the opportunity to peruse various high end designer items at a fraction of their original prices. Gilt City is a membership only online store where you can purchase some quality pieces for a discount. What made the warehouse event so unique was that it allowed you to actually walk in and try on the items before you purchase them, in addition to the extra price reduction made especially for the event.
I fell in love with many of the Valentino, Emilio Pucci, Marni and Missoni items. Cocktails were provided in addition to sponsored products by PopChips, Vita Coco Coconut Water, KIND bars (LOVE these) and a live DJ was spinning in the upper area of the warehouse. The lower portion had all of the clothing and home decor items while the upper section housed the shoe selection for men and women.
Unfortunately, most of the shoes were selected once I made it up there. Imagine this if you will…I'm walking in heels, holding a 25lb baby on my hip, browsing the selection of clothes with my other hand and attempting to take photos with my camera for the blog. Needless to say, it was quite the charade for me. Overall, it was a great event filled with some exceptional designer pieces. If there is a Gilt City event in your area, I suggest attending. Check out my photo diary from the event below.
As I'm sitting here drinking my coffee, I'm reminiscing about the high school years when I used to put so much effort into painting my nails and creating special designs on each nail. Nowadays, I don't really have plenty of time to sit down to do them so that's why I've been utilizing Sally Hansen's wondrous inventions (Sally Hansen nail strips are like the miraculous nail makeover for mothers especially). I recently discovered their latest product, Magnetic Nail Color, which is a nail polish that allows you to create a design on your nails using a magnet. Therefore, I decided to do a nail tutorial for you ladies (and maybe event some gentlemen too)!
