Escape Hotel: The Hollywood Hotel You Want to Get Out Of!
When I first heard of the Escape Hotel, I thought it was an actual hotel… one with a rather morbid decor.I thought they had taken their decor to a very dark and sinister extreme in an effort to set a new trend. But I couldn't for the life of me figure out how anyone would want to stay there… no matter how "cool" it was.
Turns out that's the whole point. You don't want to stay there. It isn't a hotel you sleep in. It's a game and the game is to escape the suite you are in!
Escape rooms are actually a game, or an "escape game" that became popular about a decade ago. It's a physical adventure game in which players solve a series of puzzles and riddles using clues, hints, and strategy to complete the objectives at hand. Players are given a set time limit to unveil the secret plot which is hidden within the rooms.
The Escape Hotel on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is the worlds largest escape themed venue. The ghostly hotel offers ten different rooms, or games, each a mystery to be solved. In each room, you will travel in time and space and be the hero of your own story… if you get out.
Escape Hotel is located on the Walk of Fame and is the world's largest multi-themed escape venue. Offering 10 different themed games, each room is a mystery to solve! Choose between a Zombie laboratory, an abandoned hospital, a creepy Daycare, a bloody Slaughterhouse or Agent, Espionage, Circus, Witchcraft and Cocaine.
You will be checked in by ghostly front desk attendants and escorted to the room of your choice. Regardless of your room choice, you might meet the "old guest" of the hotel who never got out. Stuck here for eternity, he can easily disturb your stay.
And don't worry. No matter how spooky it might get or how difficult it is to escape, you aren't likely to become the next "old guest." I'm fairly certain your ghostly hosts will be coming by to collect more rent when your hour is up! The Escape Hotel costs about $39.00 per person.

Q: Filter logs in spring-boot application In application.yml of my spring-boot application, I have the following code:
logging:
  file: test.log
  pattern:
    file: "%d %-5level [%thread] %logger : %msg%n"

I would write something like
 logging:
   level:
    org: hibernate: *

I would to filter and gather all log messages of all levels (ERROR, DEBUG, INFO, etc) ifrom only one specific package (org.hibernate) in "test.log". It is possible?

A: Yes, you can define log level for each of your/third library packages:
Example for application.yml:
# Fine-tuning a specific logger (for a single class)
 logging:
   level:
     yourpackage: INFO
     org:
        hibernate: ALL
        springframework: INFO

Example for application.properties:
# Fine-tuning a specific logger (for a single class)
logging.level.yourpackage.controllers.HomeController = INFO

# Specify the level for spring boot and hibernate's loggers
logging.level.org.springframework = INFO
logging.level.org.hibernate = ALL

Update 1: Only logging hibernate.* to a log file
If you want to log only one specific Java package to your log file add a logback.xml to your src/main/resources folder and add the following settings:
<configuration>

  <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
    <file>hibernateLogs.log</file>

    <encoder>
      <pattern>%date %level [%thread] %logger{10} [%file:%line] %msg%n</pattern>
    </encoder>
  </appender>

  <logger name="org.hibernate" level="ALL">
      <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
  </logger>

</configuration>

This config will log all of your hibernate logs to a file.

Home News Costa Blanca South IKEA green light?
ALICANTE DEBUT: The controversy is over where to locate the store.
DESPITE all the hesitation and commotion, IKEA looks set to debut in Alicante after all. The giant Swedish multinational furniture outlet has been eyeing the Costa Blanca city for quite some time but its desires have been thwarted by local debate over the how's and where's.
After a meeting with Valencia region president Ximo Puig, Alicante mayor Gabriel Echavarri has said it is time to start listening to the popular furniture leviathan's proposals. Whether the city wants IKEA or not has been incontrovertible as the proposed 80,000 square metres would be a massive local economic boost.
The controversy is over where to put it, and how to ensure that the shady corruption which often accompanies Spanish construction deals is prevented from dirtying the deal.
Lagunas Rabassa remains the mayor's favoured site for what would be the Swedish company's 40,000th store.

Data of the physical and chemical properties of soils from three vineyards located in Vale dos Vinhedos, Bento Gonçalves, Rio Grande do Sul state, in southern Brazil, were processed. Soil mapping was performed by means of four profiles and the digital elevation model in detailed scale. Then, superficial soils (0–20 cm) were sampled according to a grid pattern. Analysis of variance (ANOVA), kriging, and unsupervised classification methods were applied on physical and chemical data of superficial soils sampled according to grid pattern. This study aimed to compare both methods, the conventional soil mapping and the map produced with superficial soil sampling, about their potential for definition of the management zones, as an approach for precision agriculture. Maps elaborated by conventional soil mapping overlapped partially with the maps derived from superficial sampling, probably due to the specific methodological differences of each case. Anyway, both methods are complementary because of the focus on vertical variability and horizontal variability, respectively. In that sense, slope appears as significant edaphic parameter, due to its control on water circulation in the profile of soil.
Notable advances in pedological research were reached in the 1990s, after a period of stagnancy, when a significant search for a rational use of natural resources and the equilibrium of biogeochemical cycles took place. In this way, monitoring and evaluation of soil resources began a new age, due to the quality of information derived from new technologies as geographical information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. Tayari et al.  discussed the relation among GPS, GIS, and precision agriculture (PA).
These technologies also contributed to improve precision viticulture, that is, "precision farming (or PA) applied to optimize vineyard performance, in particular maximizing grape yield and quality while minimizing environmental impacts and risk" . According to McBratney et al.  "the definition of precision agriculture is still evolving as technology changes and our understanding of what is achievable grows. Over the years the emphasis has changed from simply 'farming by soil', through variable rate technologies, to vehicle guidance systems and will evolve to product quality and environmental management". Actually, in a more contemporaneous definition, "PA is a whole-farm management approach using information technology, satellite positioning data, remote sensing and proximal data gathering. These technologies seek improving returns on inputs while potentially reducing environmental impacts. The state-of-the-art of PA on arable land, permanent crops and within dairy farming are reviewed, mainly in the European context, altogether with some economic aspects of the adoption of PA" .
SCORPAN model for soil mapping considers the pedological parameters as a mathematical function evolving several factors: soil, climate, organisms (microorganisms, vegetation, or land use), relief, parent material, age, and spatial position [5, 6]. McBratney et al.  mentioned three main scales in pedometry:(1)national context with resolution larger than 2 km;(2)drainage basins and landscape need resolution between 20 m and 2 km;(3)local context with resolution lesser than 20 m (the order 0 of USDA survey evolves pixel size lesser than 5 m × 5 m for applications in precision agriculture).
Soils are mainly components of "terroir" in viticulture ; however their survey is expensive and there is no direct relation to the type of wine. Cheaper methods of survey would be provided by the "geological model" or the "geomorphological model." Anyway, the mapped units do not agree with the classes of soil occurring in a vineyard due to scale problems, although there are agronomic variations intraunits of soil, according to small organic matter content changes or oscillations of horizon thickness. By this reason, new technologies must be used, as for instance digital elevation models, GIS, electric resistivity measures or remote sensing, aiming an efficient survey for the management of viticulture.
From a geospatial perspective, Flores et al.  considered each class of soil a management zone. However, Filippini-Alba et al.  integrated the classes of soil from the three vineyards by similarity, location and practical reasons, in five management zones. In that sense, Filippini-Alba et al.  implemented a microzoning in one vineyard, based on four variables: (1) content of clay; (2) organic matter level; (3) saturation of bases; (4) stoniness. Preferential class of aptitude was 150–350 g·kg−1, <2.5%, 20–49%, and <0.5% for (1) to (4), respectively, and locates mainly on CXve 2 and CXve 3 units, northern part of the vineyard. Coincidence within management zones is not exactly but is very similar.
Several papers discuss the effects of phenolic compounds in wine , but the amount of papers is significantly reduced if the influence of soil on phenolic compounds is considered. A diversity of taxonomic classes is associated with the vineyards of Vale dos Vinhedos, which change radically in a tiny scale occasionally. These changes affect the content of phenolic compounds in the wine produced [11, 12]. Grenache noire vines planted with water or nitrogen restriction are related to grapes enriched with sugars and anthocyanins levels . Moreover, the authors concluded that the type of soil does not affect the quality of grapes; however, this property would be associated with soil depth.
The previous developing suggest several questions related to the management of the vineyard and the use of geospatial modeling from a precision agriculture (PA) perspective or the application of a more realistic approach, including management zones defined by conventional soil mapping or GIS modeling. On the one hand we have the precision of geotechnologies and the horizontal geospatial variability; on the other hand we have the recognized pedological model, where the analysis of the vertical variability and the associated cycle of water have provided so many benefits for agriculture. These approaches are discussed in some way in this paper considering three vineyards located on Vale dos Vinhedos, Bento Gonçalves, Rio Grande do Sul state, in southern Brazil. Some more specific objectives/questions are the following. (1) Soil mapping is an expensive procedure, costly, and time consuming; is there some technique with the same level of efficiency and cheaper in the perspective of PA? (2) Geospatial analysis and GIS procedures are related to PA, but standard procedures for interpolation and fusion data are generally absent from bibliographies. A specific method in that sense is presented and discussed here. (3) How are soil units related to viticulture variables?
The three vineyards were established with Merlot grapevine, clone 347, grafted on the 1103 Paulsen rootstock. Two of them were established in 2005 (vineyards 1 and 3) and the remaining vineyard was set up in 2006 (vineyard 2). Grapevines were vertical trellised and spur-pruned. The total area covered by vines was 2.42 ha.
The vine rows and 249 plants inside the vineyards were registered with a Sokkia SET 610 total station and a Sokkia GSR 2600 GPS receiver, in the way that maps of altimetry and slope were elaborated. Then, a regular network with cells of 10 m × 10 m was also delineated, which was used as reference for the pedological survey and superficial soil sampling. Coordinates of four strategic points were performed with the GPS receiver, because, in this case the reception time is too long for measure of full positions. Then, the total station was used for measure distances and angles, thus, the other coordinates and altitudes were calculated. WGS 84 was used as a reference system.
Four trenches were opened for sampling soil profiles, including all horizons up to 150 cm deep. The soils were classified  according to the Brazilian System of Soil Classification .
Superficial soil samples were collected with a shovel cutting, near the marked vines for the Ap horizon in January, 2011: 28 samples in vineyard 1; 54 samples in vineyard 2; and 26 samples in vineyard 3.
Physical and chemical analyses were performed on the Soil Laboratory at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). The following variables were evaluated: pH; Al, Ca, Na, K, and P (exchangeable) contents; cationic exchangeable capacity (CEC); coarse fraction (pebbly and gravel); granulometric composition (coarse sand, fine sand, silt, clay, and flocculation degree); organic carbon; and nitrogen. Methods of soil analysis included physical separation, soft extractors for exchangeable elements, dichromate in acid media for organic C and Kjeldahl method for total N. All these methods are detailed by Embrapa .
Data were organized and integrated on the software ArcGIS  as information lawyers. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and related procedures were processed in SPSS software , considering groups defined by the superficial samples of soil inside each class of soil. The semivariograms of each nutrient and the granulometric classes were processed with GS+ . The spherical model adjusted the semivariograms of most of the variables, with reach of 129 m prevailing. pH and Al and P content showed nugget effect. Then, the spatial parameters were inserted on ArcGIS and kriging was applied for each variable, except for Al, P, and pH, when the inverse distance weighted interpolation was used.
The six nutrients (Ca, C, K, Mg, N, and P content) and the granulometric variables (clay, silt, fine sand, and coarse sand) were integrated in digital files of six and four information lawyers, respectively. Thus, unsupervised classification by maximum likelihood method was applied on each file by means of ER-Mapper . Afterwards, data were edited and organized in accordance with the integrated level of enrichment of nutrients or fine fractions (clay, silt and fine sand), expressed in percentage.
A new map of management zones was elaborated by overlapping both maps mentioned before, by visual appreciation, taking into account the necessity of condensed information for industrial processes (winemaking).
Soils legend discriminates three classes of soils in level of order that represent ten mapping units (Table 1). Correspondence between the Brazilian System of Soil Science (SiBCS) and Soil Taxonomy (US) is an adaptation, because Argissolo, Cambissolo, and Neossolo are considered as Entisol, Inceptisol, and Ultisol, respectively, but the terms do not have the same meaning exactly. Thus, Brazilian terms were used. The mapping units are different due to the fourth or fifth category level, mainly by Al saturation, bases saturation, texture, stony and phases of relief. These classes occupied 26.03%, 34.71%, and 39.26% of the total area of the three vineyards, respectively.
Table 1: Properties of the units of soil . Symbols based on Brazilian System of Soil Science (SiBCS) and correspondence SiBCS and soil taxonomy.
The spatial distribution of the units of soil is represented in Figure 1. The image of satellite in background show direction E-W for vines in the vineyards 1 and 2, but direction of vine lines is N-S for vineyard 3.
Figure 1: Map of soils of the study area on the orbital image as background (Google Earth®, 2013). Triangles indicate the location of the soil profiles.
Mapping units PBACal refer to soils with textural B horizon, immediately below A horizon in this case, with high content of clay, grayish brown color, and Al enrichment in several horizons (Table 2), thus with alic condition. The profiles 2 and 4 (PBACal) were studied up to 1.5 m deep, with enrichment in Ap horizon for bases content, organic C, N, and P, as well as differences in declivity and texture (Table 1). BC horizon is intermediary between a B horizon and a C horizon, but with prevalent materials from B horizon. Abrupt condition of units PBACal 2 and PBACal 3 refers to the occurrence of high content of clay in B horizon, deriving on strong differentiation between horizons A and B.
Table 2: Physical and chemical parameters of the soil profiles for each horizon.
Each class of soil showed different sequence of horizons, but Ap horizon, a superior A horizon plow or removed, occurred in all cases. Mapping unit RRh 4 of Neossolo is in accordance with Ap1 and Ap2. Argissolo (PBACal,) have a subdivision for B horizon in deep, with accumulation of clay (Bt1 and Bt2). Cambissolo (CXve 3,) has an intermediary horizon AB and in sequence, an incipient B horizon (Bi) and a BC horizon. PBACal 2 and 3 units have abruptic condition due to the occurrence of more clay in B horizon than in A horizon, with strong contrast between these two horizons.
From a physicochemical point of view, Cambissolo and Argissolo are different between them, mainly for Al saturation, bases content and clay content (Table 2). These soils had greater organic matter than Neossolo, with significant gravel in this case. About declivity, Argissolo ranged from 3% to 20%, Cambissolo ranged from 13% to 45%, and Neossolo ranged from 3% to 45%, this one with the greatest variation. This feature, associated with texture, affects significantly the dynamic of water circulation through the different edaphic horizons.
High contents of Cu, Mn, P, and Zn in the superficial horizons of the three classes of soils, when compared to the subsuperficial horizons, suggest a strong influence of the local viticulture management.
Water storage capacity (WSC) was different for each horizon and profile, suggesting strong dependence with climate. For instance, CXve3, PBACal2, and PBACal1 have good storage capacity for subsuperficial horizons, but RRha does not show a good storage capacity. So, vines production may be impaired for dry climate in the case of RRha; contrariwise, production may be improved for wet climate. An opposite situation can happen for the remained soils.
Variables with variation coefficients greater than 50% presented almost the total population near of the minimum values, but with some high extreme values in the case of pebbly and level of Al. However, when the variation coefficients ranged between 30% and 35%, the mean located near the half of the range of variation (Table 3).
Table 3: Statistics for variables related to the 108 soil samples (Ap horizon).
Statistics were processed for each class of soil including homogeneity and analysis of variance or ANOVA (Table 4). All variables showed significance lesser than 15% for variance homogeneity test with the exception of coarse sand and pH. Thus, precision of ANOVA test would be affected by both variables. Anyway, all variables were significant for ANOVA test at level of 5%, so, in general terms, at least one mean of the classes of soils is different to the other ones.
Table 4: Results of ANOVA as a factor of soil classes. LS = Levene statistic; = significance of homogeneity of variances test, %; = significance of statistic, % (ANOVA). Number of samples for the classes of soils and total: CXve1, CXve2, CXve3, PBAcal1, PBAcal2, PBAcal3, RRh1, RRh2, RRh3, and RRh4 and total equal to 8, 10, 22, 6, 15, 7, 11, 4, 8, 17, and 108, respectively.
Variation of the means is represented by line graphs (Figure 2). Main variations occur among classes of soil (Argissolo, Cambissolo, and Neossolo); however softer variations happen within the classes, suggesting declivity differences or degree of stoniness because these two parameters affected differences among classes.
Figure 2: The linear graphs show the variation of the mean related to each class of soil for different variables.
Semivariograms were adjusted mostly by the spherical model and the predominant reach was 129 m. The spatial distribution of the granulometric variables (clay, silt, fine sand and coarse sand) in the Ap horizon is shown in Figure 3. A sudden transition from vineyard 2 to vineyard 3 is observed for clay, silt and fine sand, thus, result of soil map is confirmed (Figure 1). Separation between Cambissolo and Neossolo in vineyard 2 also appears in Figure 3, as well as the high clay content related to Argissolo.
Figure 3: Spatial distribution of granulometric variables related to Ap horizon in the study area.
Spatial distribution of nutrients (Ca, C, K, Mg, N, and P) in the vineyards 1, 2, and 3 is showed in Figures 4, 5, and 6, respectively. P was constant in vineyard 1 and C and N were very similar in the three vineyards. The greatest variability for C, Ca, Mg, N, and P was associated with vineyard 3.
Figure 4: Spatial distribution of nutrients in the soils of vineyard 1 (horizon Ap).
Figure 5: Spatial distribution of nutrients in the soils of vineyard 2 (horizon Ap).
Figure 6: Spatial distribution of nutrients in the soils of vineyard 3 (horizon Ap).
Observation of the means of each class of soil (Figure 2) in comparison to the geospatial distribution of granulometric fractions (Figure 3) and level of chemical elements (Figures 4, 5 and 6) suggest a coherent adjustment between both procedures of processing data.
Map of integrated granulometric variables in Ap horizon overlapped partially conventional map of soils (Figure 7). Vineyard 1 was divided into two parts in direction E-W, with local variations, perhaps related to transition among edaphic units. A spot with content of clay + silt + fine sand from 700 to 750 g·kg−1 in vineyard 2 may be associated with Cambissolos (CXve1, CXve2, and CXve3) and the transition to Neossolo (RRha), with diagonal geometry suggesting the influence of slope, very strong in this zone. Argissolo was well characterized in vineyard 3 but the same did not happen to Neossolos (RRh1, RRh2, and RRh3).
Figure 7: Spatial distribution of the content of fine minerals (clay, silt, and fine sand) in Ap horizon for the study area.
The western part of vineyard 1 and the northern part of vineyard 2 showed similar spatial distribution of low values of nutrient content in Ap horizon (Figure 8). Then, a moderate zone in nutrient content was established, including the northern half of vineyard 3. The remaining half of vineyard 3 showed significant increase in nutrient content, mainly organic matter, Ca and Mg. According to the present land use, there is a woodland on the lateral part of the vineyard 3 (Figure 1), then perhaps part of the wood was removed before grapevines were cultivated. This may explain increase in organic matter but enrichment of alkaline earth elements seems to be associated with fertilization.
Figure 8: Spatial distribution of the content of nutrients (C, Ca, K, Mg, N, and P) in Ap horizon for the study area. C + Ca + K + Mg + N + P.
The map management zones (Figure 9) was elaborated by overlapping the maps of Figures 7 and 8. This map and previous maps [9, 10] were elaborated with different methods or based on different variables, but final result is similar. Conventional soil maps evaluate circulation of water and nutrients to all horizons, usually up to 1.5–2.0 m deep, evolving subsuperficial variability. On the other hand, the maps based on superficial sampling (Ap horizon) do not include that dimension but a significant analysis of horizontal variability.
Figure 9: Management zones defined by integration of ten variables (granulometry and nutrients). 1: moderate CSS and low CN; 2: low CSS and moderate CN; 3: moderate CSS and moderate CN; 4: moderate CSS and high CN. CSS = content of clay + silt + fine sand; CN = content of nutrients.
Pedological maps and superficial soil maps overlap partially, perhaps due to their complementary nature but not substitutive. Management zones can be defined by means of the pedological map or when several information lawyers are integrated. Anyway, this and previous works [9, 10] pointed that different methods resulted in similar management zones but with local differences.
Perhaps, an integration of information lawyers, from an PA perspective, would be more efficient way to define management zones. However, the ideal set of variables must be found.
Addressing the specific questions mentioned in the introduction of this paper.
(1) Soil Mapping Is an Expensive Procedure, Costly, and Time Consuming; Is There Some Other Technique with the Same Level of Efficiency and Cheaper? Several authors mentioned the influence of soil depth on grape quality; however the type of soil would not be an affecting factor in that sense. Some results of the present work suggest the influence of declivity that altogether with soil depth and other parameters control the water cycle of soil, therefore, the relation between soil and grapevines.
Hence, geotechnologies represent exceptional tools to support precision agriculture, improving the knowledge of the horizontal variability obtained from soil research, but a vertical component must be incorporated. The superficial sampling of soil must be complemented with a digital elevation model and the study of depth of soil and texture of subsuperficial horizons. In that sense, studies on apparent electrical conductivity represent a good option, since, data in two depths are supplied .
(2) Geospatial Analysis and GIS Procedures Are Related to PA, but Standard Procedures for Interpolation and Fusion Data Are Generally Absent of Bibliographies. A Specific Method in That Sense Is Presented and Discussed Here. A method of fusion data was used, including geostatistical processing and unsupervised classification of nutrient data and texture data. A final map of management zones was constructed by observation and synthesis. There was coincidence with previous management zones [9, 10], but local differences and variations from each methodology were observed. Correlation between the management zone map produced by this work and the conventional soil map  was weak in that sense. Management zones must be conferred according to grapes quality or derived wines, but in this work only the edaphic parameters were considered. Consequently, a new challenge will be the integration of these other kinds of data with information discussed here.
(3) How Are Soil Units Related to Viticulture Variables? Shallow soils provide few water and nitrogen to vines. Consequently, the yield of the vineyard is reduced and the quality of berries is improved. In the present study, this situation was corroborated by Neossolo RRh 4, which occurred with scarce depth (Table 2). A similar status would be expected for units RRh 1 and RRh 3; nevertheless, they had high levels of nutrients, as explained before.

Q: Trouble Saving a XML in the Format Expected with Foreach C# I have a problem saving a XML File in the format I'm looking for
Maybe someone can help me out here is my code
string testInput= @"<!LinkName>MyChildData<#";
var testRegex = new Regex(@"(?<name>(?<=<!).*?(?=>))|(?<namex>(?<=>).*?(?=<#))",
                          RegexOptions.Multiline | RegexOptions.Singleline);

foreach (Match myMatch in testRegex.Matches(testInput))
{
    xml.NewChild2(myMatch.Groups["name"].Value, myMatch.Groups["namex"].Value);
}
xml.SaveXml("simple.xml");

Result I'm expecting
Is
<rootNode>
    <LinkName>MyChildData</LinkName>
</rootNode>

But the result I get is
<rootNode>
    <LinkName/>
    <nothing>MyChildData</nothing>
</rootNode>

Any Advise would be appreciated
Thanks

A: You are adding your node to the xml, not to <LinkName>.  Look up AddChild()

A: The issue is with the Regex, when I run the current string I get two DIFFERENT match sets.  One where Name is LinkName, but namex is empty, and one where name is empty, but namex is correct.
try using this regex instead:
(?<name>(?<=<!).*?)>(?<namex>.*?(?=<#))

note how instead of using options, the | character, instead I link the two together, ignoring the > character.  This way it guarantees that the structure has to be name>value.
If you cannot guarantee that structure, then you need to rethink the entire process.


Sterling on Justice & Drugs: Time for juvenile cliches at Washington Post when marijuana bills introduced in Va. 79-year old GOP pharmacist makes sense; Post makes jokes.
Time for juvenile cliches at Washington Post when marijuana bills introduced in Va. 79-year old GOP pharmacist makes sense; Post makes jokes.
The headline sprawling across the top of page B3 in the print edition of the Jan. 21, 2010 The Washington Post reads, "A toke of Va. lawmaker's esteem." The lede of the story by Rosalind S. Helderman reads, "It's high times in the Virginia General Assembly. The lobbyists are cracking jokes about 'joint' sessions, and the legislators are laughing that free Girl Scout cookies delivered Wednesday could prove useful."
It looks like it was take-your-kid-to-work day in the Washington Post newsroom yesterday as the obvious puns and unfunny "jokes" that were stale three decades ago were recycled in a dismissive and lazy report on two bills introduced by a 79-year old pharmacist, Republican Harvey B. Morgan, the second longest serving member of Virginia's House of Delegates. Morgan is the powerful chair of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Resources, a Navy veteran and former Assistant Clinical Professor of Pharmacy at the Medical College of Virginia.
Morgan's bills -- HB 1134 would decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use, and HB 1136 would legalize medical use -- are serious policy reforms. These details are not in the Washington Post. But the reporter, sucking up to the jokesters at The Washington Post and in Richmond, could not resist the temptation to write the story that was spiked by her high school principal as she began her career in "journalism."


NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla.-- A man is accused of trying to buy lottery tickets with a counterfeit bill.
According to the Lee County Sheriff's Office incident report, a man walked into the Speedway gas station on North Cleveland Avenue in North Fort Myers.
An employee says she noticed the bill had a different texture than a normal bill. She then used a counterfeit marker test to confirm it was fake.
The employee told the man the bill was fake and he needed to use a different method to pay for the tickets. The man tried to get the counterfeit bill back from the employee, but she kept it.
No merchandise was taken or bought by the man. The man left the store and got into a white sedan.

4 Keys to Bridging the Gap Between Security and Developers
Security personnel's priority is protecting the organization. Developers are trying to hit tight timelines. Here's how both groups can get get their needs met.

Security and development sometimes don't have the best of relationships. It's no one's fault; it's just the nature of what they do. Security's top concern is protecting the organization from the risks of application security issues. Developers are trying to hit tight timelines and deliver features as fast as possible to address customer needs. Unfortunately, because both developers and security teams often operate in silos, those priorities are sometimes in competition with each other, creating friction between the two teams.
This friction can create a culture of fear among developers, who have become accustomed to security teams scolding them for mistakes. That doesn't make developers any better at their jobs or help them avoid security risks when they build. We need to move away from a culture of fear to one of shared responsibility where you can quickly react to security issues and fix them. As Cisco's Wendy Nather puts it, "Security should be designed to be adopted rather than just engineered to be enforced."
Instead of measuring how many gaps or errors developers have left in the application architecture, measure how quickly those issues were found and fixed. Everyone wants the application to be secure; we just need to integrate the security and development processes into one seamless workflow.
That starts with how security teams work with developers. Among teams that have broken down the silos and eliminated friction, security guidance tends to have four attributes that streamline workflows and align security and developers.
Security That's Accessible
There are few things more frustrating for a developer than receiving a 25-page Word document from a security colleague listing all the security considerations for the particular application they're working on. These documents are often difficult to understand and slow workflows to a halt because they're written in a language that makes sense to security, not developers.
If security teams recommend that developers "protect authenticators from unauthorized disclosure or modification," for example, most developers will have no idea what that means. Even though that's an important security consideration, it'll never be implemented if developers don't know what security is talking about. If security can deliver guidance that's more accessible for developers, written in language they understand, developers are much more likely to address them.
Security That's Actionable
Clear and easy-to-understand security guidance is just the start. Security can make developers' lives a lot easier and get their recommendations implemented a lot faster if they go beyond just explaining what needs to be fixed and tell developers how to fix it. Few developers are well-versed in security, and even if security recommendations are accessible, developers will likely have to do more work to figure out how to fix what's broken.
To help them get there, just cut to the chase. Developers don't need all the gory details of why there is a problem, and forcing them to do research on how to fix it won't win you any friends. All developers want to know is what you want them to do. Get them to the green check box as fast as possible by providing actionable guidance.
Security That's Automated
You've explained what needs to be fixed in accessible language, and you've told developers how to fix it with actionable guidance, but can you go a step further and solve the problem for them automatically?
Part of the friction between security and development stems from the abundance of automation and speed among developers, and the lack of it for security. Instead of Word docs, how could security use automation to move at the speed of development? This part of the process requires time and effort up front. Automation should be baked into the security process to scan for potential security issues both pre- and post-deployment.
When security adopts the same kinds of automation as development teams, they can fit into their workflows more seamlessly.
Security at the Right Time
Security should be engaged early in the process and fit into the existing development life cycle and workflows. Developers shouldn't have to wait until the next sprint or next month to get security guidance.
If you engage at the right time, developers can fix security issues and design gaps while the application is being designed, not after they've already implemented it.
This "shift left" reduces risks and streamlines workflows for both developers and security teams.
Stop the Culture of Fear
Making these changes requires a cultural shift. We need to move away from the siloed culture of fear and toward integrated, modernized, automated workflows where security and development take a shared responsibility.
It requires measuring successes — like how quickly issues are resolved — instead of shortcomings. This kind of cultural transformation positions security as a trusted adviser to developers and creates the kind of awareness and collaboration that ensures every application is secure by design.

Parliament responded to ' How's the Josh?' with more than just applause. But as Budget 2019 was being read out in Parliament, Bollywood was watching to see if the film industry would get more than just a mention in the Budget.
Piyush Goyal announced that there would be a single window clearance for Bollywood shoots, something that had only been granted to foreign crews. Responding to the announcement, President, Producers Guild India, Siddharth Roy Kapoor said, "The announcement of a single-window clearance mechanism for Indian film makers filming within India is a significant step and has the potential to play a huge role in boosting tourism in the country," adding "We are delighted that the immense contribution of Indian cinema towards employment generation in the country has been acknowledged and applauded in Parliament during the presentation of the Union Budget."
Presenting the Interim Budget for 2019, Piyush Goyal said the government had "broken the back" of the "back breaking" inflation which was brought down to 2.9 per cent in December and an average of 4.6 per cent which was the lowest than under any previous government.
Echoing the same sentiment, Producer Sandeep Singh said, "I am delighted that cinema is being taken seriously by the Govt. It will help a lot of people in terms of employment and overall motivation. I believe this will help and motivate the industry to make more films. I am so happy that Finance Minister Piyush Goyal mentioned Uri: The Surgical Strike during his budget speech. Its really increased my Josh."
Dr Madhu Chopra said, "This comes as a great step forward to ease the process of putting a film together. I am proud of film makers and the present government and thank them profusely."
Another clause minister Piyush Goyal spoke of was tackling piracy in films and an Anti-Camcording provision would be introduced to Cinematography Act to combat film privacy. Rajesh Mishra, CEO (Indian Operations) , UFO Moviez said, "We welcome the government's initiative to introduce the anti-camcording provision as part of the Cinematography Act to fight against piracy. This will give teeth to the law to take stringent action against the offender. UFO Moviez digital cinema systems provide watermarking in each cinema wherein the system creates a unique fingerprint when projecting the digital movie on the screen in a non-intrusive manner. Using this technology security feature, it is possible to trace, from a pirated CD or DVD, the name and location of the theatre where the film was illegally videographed, along with other co-ordinates like time, date, etc., thus, helping to crack down on piracy."
Representatives from the film industry, like Karan Johar, Akshay Kumar, Siddharth Roy Kapoor, Rohit Shetty, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, had called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the weeks leading up to the budget.


Dramatic and unpredictable, severe storms may cause you a pile of repair bills if they strike without warning!
Wild weather is par for the course during storm season in Brisbane. This typically runs from late October to February / March but can often arrive much earlier. Dramatic and unpredictable, severe storms may cause you a pile of repair bills if they strike without warning. To be on the safe side, it's a good idea to prepare your home for the worst case scenario.
Check that your home and contents insurance is up-to-date and you're fully covered for damage relating to severe weather in Queensland. Your policy should also be based on your current valuation. Recent studies have shown that around 1 in 10 Australians are living in homes that are underinsured as their policy is based on an old property valuation. Many also don't have contents insurance. If you're living in a high to medium risk area for flooding (check the Brisbane City Council flood maps), then make sure that your standard insurance policy covers water damage from flooding.
Hail storms in Brisbane can be vicious, causing hail the size of golf balls and leaving windows in tatters. Storm windows offer protection by being mounted to the inside or outside of existing windows. Made of durable glass or plastic panels, they shatter less easily and offer more protection than standard glass windows. High tensile window films are also designed to contain glass shards and have a high-impact energy absorption.
Check that your roof is watertight to protect the interior of your property from leaks. Fix any loose tiles or iron sheeting, and clean out gutters of leaf matter so water can flow easily through downpipes. Cut back and trim vegetation from fences so they don't collapse in strong winds. Overhanging branches are a hazard in storms and need to be topped or pruned back to avoid damaging your property and neighbouring powerlines.
Outdoor items such as furniture, pool accessories, childrens' toys and pot plants can turn into flying missiles during storms that can inflict all kinds of damage to properties and people. Secure items tightly or store them inside the house if at all possible.
The Brisbane City Council recommends having a safety plan in place and an emergency kit that enables your household to survive for three days without power and water. This should be readily accessible and contain items such as first aid supplies, a battery operated torch and radio, canned food and water. Visit the Brisbane City Council for more information on what items you need for your kit and how to be prepared for storm season.
If the storm turns into a cyclone, you may need to evacuate, no matter how well prepared your home is. Keep updated with broadcasts from local radio stations and follow instructions carefully. Sign up for the council's Severe Weather Early Warning Alert Service www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/earlywarning so you know in advance that a severe storm is approaching.
Are We Over Open Plan Living?

Puri Jagannath is Lord Narasimha
Lord Jagannath in Puri is Narasimha, Lord Vishnu's avatar who killed Hiranyakasipu.
Tradition in Puri says that even before the appearance of Jagannatha as wood logs in sea, Narasimha was residing in Nilachala beside Kalpa Bata as Adi Narasimha.
Lord Jagannath is worshipped in form of Narasimha, on the eve of Narasimha Chaturdasi.
There are 105 major temples of Narasimha in Odisha and 169 in Andhra Pradesh. This cult of worshipping Lion-God exists more along the east coast of India.
The icon of Jagannath is a carved and decorated wooden stump with large round eyes and a symmetric face, and the icon has a conspicuous absence of hands or legs. The worship procedures, sacraments and rituals associated with Jagannath are syncretic, and include rites that are uncommon in Hinduism.
Only animals have round eyes. All Vishnu avatar temples have idols with lotus petal shaped eyes.
Lord Narasimha appeared from a wooden pillar, which Hiranyakasipu broke with his mace.
In hymn 10.155 of the Rig veda, there is mention of a Daru (wooden log) floating in the ocean as apurusham. Acharya Sayana interpreted the term apurusham as same as Purushottama and this Dara wood log being an inspiration for Jagannath, thus placing the origin of Jagannath in 2nd millennium BCE.
The original image of Jagannath (a deity form of Vishnu) at the end of Treta yuga manifested near a banyan tree, near seashore in the form of an Indranila mani or the Blue Jewel. It was so dazzling that it could grant instant moksha, so the God Yama wanted to hide it in the earth, and was successful. In Dwapara Yuga King Indradyumna of Malava wanted to find that mysterious image and to do so he performed harsh penances to obtain his goal. Vishnu then instructed him to go to the Puri seashore and find a floating log to make an image from its trunk.
This wooden log is the broken piece of that pillar from where Lord Narasimha emerged.
Indradyumna found the log of wood. He did a yajna from which God Yajna Nrisimha appeared and instructed that Narayana should be made as fourfold expansion, i.e. Paramatma as Vasudeva, his Vyuha as Samkarshana, Yogamaya as Subhadra, and his Vibhava as Sudarsana. Vishwakarma appeared in the form of an artisan and prepared images of Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra from the tree.
This is mentioned in Mahabharata and Puranas.
King Indradyumna was son of Bharat and Sunanda of Malava Kingdom.
This concludes that Lord Jagannath is not Lord Krishna and other 2 idols are not Balarama or Subhadra (siblings of Krishna), as Jagannath existed much ahead of Krishna avatar.
The round eyes, mouth and face shape of Lord Jagannath is very much similar to Narasimha.
Skanda-Purana, Brahma Purana and other Puranas and later Oriya works state that Lord Jagannath was originally worshipped as Lord Neela Madhaba by a Savar king (tribal chief) named Viswavasu. Having heard about the deity, King Indradyumna sent a Brahmin priest, Vidyapati to locate the deity, who was worshipped secretly in a dense forest by Viswavasu. Vidyapati tried his best but could not locate the place. But at last he managed to marry Viswavasu's daughter Lalita. At repeated request of Vidyapati, Viswavasu took his son-in-law blind folded to a cave where Lord Neela Madhaba was worshipped.
Vidyapati was very intelligent. He dropped mustard seeds on the ground on the way. The seeds germinated after a few days, which enabled him to find out the cave later on. On hearing from him, King Indradyumna proceeded immediately to Odra desha (Odisha) on a pilgrimage to see and worship the Deity. But the deity had disappeared. The king was disappointed. The Deity was hidden in sand. The king was determined not to return without having a darshan of the deity and observed fast unto death at Mount Neela, Then a celestial voice cried 'thou shalt see him.' Later the king performed Aswamedha Yaga and built a magnificent temple for Vishnu. Sri Narasimha Murti brought by Narada was installed in the temple. During sleep, the king had a vision of Lord Jagannath. Also an astral voice directed him to receive the fragrant tree on the seashore and make idols out of it. Accordingly, the king got the image of Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, Subhadra and Chakra Sudarshan made out of the wood of the divine tree and installed them in the temple.
When this log, radiant with light was seen floating in the sea, Narada told the king to make three idols out of it and place them in a pavilion. Indradyumna got Visvakarma, the architect of Gods, to build a magnificent temple to house the idols and Vishnu himself appeared in the guise of a carpenter to make the idols on condition that he was to be left undisturbed until he finished the work.
But just after two weeks, the Queen became very anxious. She took the carpenter to be dead as no sound came from the temple. Therefore, she requested the king to open the door. Thus, they went to see Vishnu at work at which the latter abandoned his work leaving the idols unfinished. The idol was devoid of any hands. But a divine voice told Indradyumana to install them in the temple. It has also been widely believed that in spite of the idol being without hands, it can watch over the world and be its lord. Thus the idiom.
There is a Narasimha Temple near Jagannath Temple in Puri, just behind the Gundicha temple. There are two deities of Lord Narasimha one behind the other.
Lord Narasimha manifested here before Lord Jagannatha and his temple.
Shantha Narasimha (peaceful) is in the front. Shantha Narasimha has human-like features: a sharp nose, curvy moustache and an outstretched tongue. By seeing Shantha Narasimha one will feel cool and relaxed; all anger, anxiety and frustration will vanish. Once a Muslim marauder named Kalapahad ransacked Puri and broke many Deities. Upon seeing Shantha Narasimha, his anger subsided and he did not touch the Deity. Deity behind is Ugra Narasimhadeva. He is in the angry mood of Narasimha, which is not usually seen and may be seen only with the help of the pujari's lamp.
Puri is Sri Shankha Kshetra
The land area of Puri resembles the shape of a conch and hence called Shankha Kshetra. Lord Vishnu's four weapons are represented in four different places in Odisha (also known as Odradesha), Shankha Kshetra is Jagannath Puri, Padma Kshetra is Konark, Chakra Kshetra is Bhubaneswar and Gada Kshetra is Jajapura.
Narasimha mantra forms a very important aspect of the rituals of the Jagannatha temple, from their very beginning.
The Purushottama mahatmya of Skanda Purana says that after the ritual performed by Brahma, king Indradyumna perceived the Deities in the form of Narashimha. Brahma instructed Indradyumna to draw the Narasimha yantra (cakra bija mandala), had the king sit inside it, initiated him in the Narasimha mantraraja (still used today).
Indradyumna then had a vision of Yogi Narasimha (the benevolent form of Narasimha, as opposed to the Ugra Narasimha, the terrifying form), sitting inside a yantra formed by a lotus of 32 petals, hands on His knees, and Lakshmi Devi sitting on His lap. Narasimha looks at Lakshmi with a broad smile, and is shaded by the 1,000 hoods of Sesa Naga on His back. Sesha is identified as Balabhadra (Sankarshana) and Lakshmi is identified as Subhadra (Not the sibling of Krishna)
The original yajna for the installation was offered to Narasimha, the presiding Deity of Orissa before the appearance of Jagannatha, and the Adi Narasimha temple near Gundicha is considered the original Deity at the place of the first installation of Jagannatha.
Still today, in Puri Jagannatha temple the first offering is done to Narasimha and the nyasa (the tantric ritual of worship consisting in installing mantras on the body of the worshiper for its spiritualisation) is based on the Narasimha mantraraja. Also, the Puja Sevakas in the Jagannatha temple are initiated at the Khamba Nrisimha pillar, where an image of Lakshmi Narasimha is worshiped.
During the period of anavasara (when the Deities of Jagannatha are kept in seclusion for their renovation) all the temple offerings are presented to Narasimha, and during the rituals of Navakalevara the Deities are addressed as Narasimha up to the last moment.
One can notice Lion shaped carvings on top of Puri Jagannath temple and also inside.
If it was Krishna, then why Lions and no trace of anything related to Krishna's life.
Lord Jagannatha was previously worshiped as Narasimha only, and He came to be considered as Krishna only in the period of king Purushottama Deva. On the bank of the lower Brahmani river, in Jenapur and Sukhinda, two traditional mathas worship Narasimha as salagrama and Dadhi Vamana (the single standing Jagannatha form) by the Narasimha mantra.
In Andhra, few villages have wooden pillar with Lion head, being worshipped as Lord Narasimha.
Jagannath icons are produced from wood. They are replaced every 11 to 14 years.
This transformation of old bodies into new bodies made of neem wood is called Nabakalebar.
Ratha Yatra or Chariot Festival is the oldest Yatra taking place in India and the World, whose descriptions can be found in Brahma Purana, Padma Purana, and Skanda Purana and Kapila Samhita.
This annual festival is celebrated on Ashadha Shukla Paksha Dwitiya (second day in bright fortnight of Ashadha month).
The festival commemorates Jagannath's annual visit to Gundicha Temple via Mausi Maa Temple (aunt's home) near Balagandi Chaka, Puri.
As part of Ratha Yatra, the deities of Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra are taken out in a procession to Gundicha Temple and remain there for nine days.They are also accompanied by Sudarshana chakra. Then the deities or Ratha Yatra return to the Main temple. The return journey of Puri Jagannath Ratha Jatra is known as Bahuda Jatra.

I discovered Erica Weiner's jewellery at The Shop Floor Project, saw the Be Prepared For Bears, and knew that a visit to their store was my destiny - because Osborn, an ancient Norse name, means Bear God. It is derived from Asbiorn, 'As' meaning God, and 'Bjorn' meaning bear (which means that my childhood tennis hero, Bjorn Borg, is really called Bear Borg).
I like the motto 'be prepared' on the necklace, because I like to think of myself as prepared, organised and ready for anything. I found this to be not strictly true on my visit to NY when I totally forgot the clock-change to Summer Time - I blame the jet-lag.
These 1970s vintage Sweetheart Necklaces can be customised with your own message (allow 3 to 4 weeks for delivery). It is truly shocking to realise that the decade of your birth, the 70s, is now classed as 'vintage'.
A vintage heart shaped locket.


If you travel, either alone, with friend or with your family, the package holiday is an alluring idea. If your idea of a holiday is a relaxing getaway with no pressures or responsibilities, the convenience and cost of an all-inclusive holiday is incredibly appealing.
Unfortunately though, eating and drinking only in one place can make you vulnerable to every holiday maker's nightmare: food poisoning! No one wants to waste their holiday hiding away in the hotel room thanks to a side helping of E coli or Salmonella. Those who fall victim to unsanitary food practices are justifiably angry and usually wish to make a claim for holiday sickness against their package tour operator, however, recently, many have been made to feel unsure or worried about taking forward a claim after a Liverpool couple were jailed for fraud.
1. People on holiday who try to talk you into making a claim: these people know that if one person falls ill on the package holiday, they won't be alone in it if the hotel is to blame. However, trying to convince people to make a fraudulent claim is wrong and can lead to you getting in trouble in the long run.
2. Claims management companies who give our dodgy advice: CMCs have been known to tell holiday makers to lie about their illness, falsify evidence or exaggerate their claims. A proper solicitor should give you correct advice on making a claim, and whether you have a claim to make.

Startup Spotlight: Q&A with Vivian Chan, founder of scientific info recommendation engine Sparrho
As part of our new weekly 'Startup Spotlight' series featuring interesting but mostly-below-the-radar European startups, we give you an interview with Vivian Chan, founder and CEO of UK-based Sparrho.
Robin Wauters 06 March 2015
Aside from shining a light on some of Europe's finest bootstrapped technology companies, we are also going to start featuring relatively unknown but interesting European tech startups on a weekly basis.
We kicked off the 'Startup Spotlight' series with an interview with Marko Guček, founder and CEO of GoOpti, and now we'd like you to meet Vivian Chan, who co-founded and leads Cambridge, UK-based Sparrho.
Sparrho has built technology capable of aggregating, analysing and ultimately recommending relevant scientific content to its users. Chan and co started the company after realising how massively difficult finding the right scientific content can be - and discovered that itch needed scratching elsewhere too.
tech.eu: How could you best describe Sparrho and what you're trying to achieve in just a few lines?
Vivian Chan: Sparrho takes the pain out of staying up to date in Science. Sparrho is your discovery engine for all things scientific - aggregating millions of the latest journal articles, patents, videos, grants and more. By distilling this into newsfeeds, Sparrho is the first technology that allows the user to browse varied scientific content while also personalising it to a level that suits them.
What's the killer feature / magic sauce i.e. the one thing that differentiates you the most from your competitors, in your view?
Our magic sauce is a combination of:
1. Letting our users indicate what they like and don't like (by clicking relevant/irrelevant buttons). This feeds into our in-house machine learning recommendation engine.
2. Diverse scientific content - not just articles, but also videos, grants, conference posters, etc.
Where and how did the idea for a recommendation engine for scientific information come about?
I found it hard to stay up to date when I was doing my PhD but I was lucky enough to have a postdoctoral researcher in my lab, Steve, who read several key journals each morning. He knew what everyone was working on, so was able to recommend interesting papers beyond what we would normally find using traditional keyword search.
Search engines are great when you know exactly what you're looking for but not for staying on top of the most recent activities. When I realised my other PhD friends didn't have a Steve to help them out - I realised I had a solution to a massive problem and decided to digitally scale up Steve => Sparrho.
How did you meet your co-founder(s) and what were (most of you) up to before starting Sparrho?
I met my co-founder Niluka (Nilu) Satharasinghe in Entrepreneur First, when I finished my PhD. We were part of the inaugural cohort and he was my python teacher. Nilu already had 3 startups under his belt and a strong background in machine learning.
The rest of the team are all ex-scientists who experienced the same pain and wanted to be part of the solution. What is great is that despite being all former scientists, we have such diverse skillsets (everything from aerospace engineering, tsunami defences, computer vision, flexible electronics to marketing, venture capital, banking, and startups) which makes work super fun every day.
How much funding have you raised, and do you have any plans to raise more? If you've bootstrapped the business so far, would you like to keep doing that or was that out of necessity?
I did have to bootstrap my way around before we raised a six figure Angel round in July 2013. We've also raised additional capital on the convertible equity structure (similar to YC's SAFE model) and there's further interest from institutional investors for another round later this year.
Exciting year for us!
What is your business model - or your future plans to monetise if you haven't yet settled on one? Has your thinking on business model evolved a lot since the start of the company?
Staying up to date in science is a problem that goes beyond just individual scientists. There are new discoveries published every day and with more than 55 million scientific sources out there, so much is lost in the noise. 1.7% of global GDP originates from scientific R&D - and a good proportion comes from industry.
So being able to streamline this for organisations will save businesses millions lost in search inefficiencies.
What's the company's plan for the next 3 to 6 months? (expansion, adding markets/languages, new features?) And what do you hope to have achieve in 12-18 months?
2015 is going to be an exciting year for Sparrho. We'll be focusing on two key areas - growing our content (today at 16M+ items) and global user base (60+ countries already).
We're already finding diverse users on the platform including patent attorneys, conference organisers, tech consultants/investors, and we'll be looking to extend this to allow anyone and everyone who wants to discover the latest in science.
What are your thoughts on your local ecosystem (funding landscape, government support, cost of living/starting up, etc)?
Science is an industry that is ready to be disrupted and using tech as an enabling platform might provide solutions. I'd love to see more tech startups in this scientific space that not only will drive future innovations but bridge the gap between complex scientific research and the general public.
What are your thoughts on the European startup ecosystem(s) as a whole?
It's thriving more than ever before, and it's great to see increased support from EU governments, industries and private organisations that want to strongly underpin the startup ecosystem. This needs to continue happening to ensure the ecosystem remains globally competitive.
Which decision have you made in your professional life that has had a negative impact on your personal life? Provided you've found a fix for it, how have you handled that?
Wanting to set up Sparrho as quickly as possible - being completely committed to one thing and one thing alone. This I'm sure seems to be a common decision among startup founders and a problem which many entrepreneurs encounter. I've have to manually insert breaks and social/family times in my calendar to ensure I don't burn out.
I also noticed that being bombarded with daily tasks was inhibiting my creative thinking, which is so crucial to the strategic part as a CEO.
Do you allow people to bring pets to the office? Why (not)?
Yes! Our Head of Engineering has already done this with his dog Cypher. An office dog is something that I think only benefits the office (luckily no one is allergic to dogs). There is a lot of research (of course!) behind the de-stressing effect that animals can have.
I've heard that in Cambridge there were days around exam time where puppies were brought in to help students calm their nerves and lift their spirits. I think being able to book out the office dog for a walking-meeting would be awesome!
If you could live and do your startup from anywhere else in Europe, which place would you pick and why?
Why choose one when you can be mobile! We've always joked about following the sun so maybe its worth stimulating the team by doing startup exchanges around Europe - drop us a line or tweet at us if you're up for this!

Here at APB we are ready to provide you with the best car, 4x4 and van tyres, at the best prices with a choice of big brand names or budget brands, whether it's a tyre for everyday road use, or a more specialist tyre, APB can both expertly advise and competively quote the best tyres for your requirements.
Fitting – Removal – Replacement – Rotation – Balancing.
Puncture Repair – Tubeless and inner tube repairs.
Snow/Mud chains available (certain sizes available for hire).
Competitive quotations on all types of 4x4 tyres and inner tubes for all budgets.
– Reduced Tyre Wear – Incorrect wheel alignment is the major cause of premature wear, particularly on front tyres. When correctly aligned, tyres will last much longer and save thousands of pounds over the life of a vehicle.
– Better MPG – With wheels incorrectly aligned, the 'scrubbing' adds greatly to the rolling resistance. The extra effort to push the tyres greatly decreases vehicle MPG.
– Safer Handling – The wear caused by incorrectly aligned wheels increases wear on certain parts of the tyre. As uneven wear increases, the vehicle may pull to one side or the steering will vibrate. Wheel balance has been lost and handling suffers.
Punctures can be repaired providing they meet with British Standard AU159. Upon inspection of the tyre, APB will be able to advise you if your tyre falls into this category.
A tyre can only be repaired in the central area of the tyre (the part marked in Green) – the sidewalls (marked in Red) are not repairable, and for V rated tyres and above, only one repair is allowed. However, before any repair is carried out, the tyre must be fully inspected for any signs of internal damage which could cause tyre failure.

Q: Rails: Good process for adding tests retroactively? I've got a few apps that I'd like to go back and retroactively build a test suite (RSpec & Cucumber) for, but it's a little daunting to get that process started.
What would your process be for going back on an existing app and building out a test suite for it?

A: I would go and add highlevel tests (cucumber) first. This will give you the confidence that the behavior won't change unnoticed. I wouldn't go and add rspec tests (or maybe just a few imporant ones) because you'll probably want to refactor a lot too.
Then, run metrics. MetricFu recently got a metric called "HotSpots", that will combine other metrics and point you to the biggest troublespots in the code. These places are usually also the most critical to your application. Fix them just enough so there readable and you get a good sense of what it's about. Don't go overboard just yet.
Then, for every new feature that you'll add, add specs and clean up some code that you're interacting with. So test and refactor the dependencies of new features, but don't go beyond that. Do it in tiny chunks or you'll lose hope quickly.

A: I've been doing a lot of this lately for client projects.  The biggest blocks for me seem to be the rampant use of inline javascript with or without RJS. [Side note: there's a right and a wrong way to do AJAX, and most people are Doing It Wrong™.] I typically use cucumber heavily with a bit of rspec for strange unit tests.
The variables to consider are diverse, but a good place to start is with a few unit tests for your models.  Create some factories and test your validations, along with any customized behavior you think needs testing.
If you're not into that or you've already got a suite of unit tests and you want to add integration, the next question is the extent to which you're doing a lot of inline javascript or RJS.  If your app is very "ajaxy" you'll need to start with the selenium driver for cucumber, which is slow as molasses in february, but it'll get the job done.  Once you've got a suite of tests covering the full functionality (or even just the important stuff) for your application, I'd begin refactoring the javascript to function unobtrusively.
Another direction you could go would be to build additional rspecs for your controllers and views, but I don't really like this pattern as you're getting into testing the implementation instead of the functionality.
The important thing to remember is that it doesn't all have to happen overnight.  Analyze your workflows (e.g. logging in, doing task A, doing task B, etc) and determine which ones cover 80% of your typical use cases.  Test those first.  Then use something like metric_fu or just plain rcov (or any other coverage tool) and find areas of your code that are logic-dense and untested. I like metric_fu for this because the suite of tools it runs can give you both of those pieces of information.

A: I'm a little off topic here, but anyway ...
I think unit testing of models in rails (3 at least) is kind of worthless... I mean especially when the code is written, so you're not doing TDD. You want to test your validation ? Why ? Just read the code and you'll figure out errors by yourself. I say that rails provides (in some place) such a human syntax that it would be a shame to unit test it.
In my opinion, such a syntax is itself a specification. Then, why writting test ?
And just to be clear : No, I'm not saying testing is useless all the time. I'm not working in some random web agency ... :p

A: I recently started tackling adding tests to a bunch of old code myself, and what I found immensely helpful is rcov (I don't bother with the rcov rails plugin and just cd to test and run a little shell script that runs rcov with the right exclusions and opens the report if the tests all pass.) Then, I started tackling the ones that were closest to 100% coverage and just working up the percentages bit by bit. It's much more measurable progress than, "Ugh, where do I start with adding tests for this?!"

Kristin Cavallari's Backless Dress & Classic Pumps Are Made for Birthday Celebrations
Kristin Cavallari rang in her birthday yesterday in classic style.
The "Laguna Beach" star turned 34 years old on Tuesday and took to Instagram to share her thoughts on another year come and gone as she celebrated with friends and family. For the outing, Cavallari opted for a twist on a little black dress with a mock neck design atop a long-sleeve silhouette and an open-back dip.
"33 was a crazy year to say the least. The ups and downs, highs and lows. But I can honestly say it was one the best years of my life. Lots of growth and opportunity. I feel like I'm back to my old self and it feels really damn good. This is 34," wrote Cavallari in her caption.

As for footwear, the Uncommon James founder decided to go classic in a set of black pointed-toe pumps. Set atop a towering stiletto heel, the design appeared to measure over four inches in height.
While the television personality does tend to layer in a pop of color, she oftentimes favors black pieces to complete her ensembles. From leather leggings with matching booties to a beachy maxi dress by the shore, Cavallari can typically be found in a stylish look that elevates the ever-chic shade.
When it comes to dressier footwear, though, the now 34-year-old usually prefers teetering stilettos in a mix of silhouettes and colors for her formal occasions — she told FN in 2017 it's "always" heels over flats. Her collection, highlighting styles from likes of Gianvito Rossi, Prada and Stuart Weitzman could be seen in her former TV series "Very Cavallari."
Beyond both red carpet looks and her off-duty trends, Cavallari also has longtime ties to the footwear and fashion industries. She became a brand ambassador for Chinese Laundry in 2012 and designed her own collection with the brand for several years. She also founded her own accessories brand Uncommon James in 2017, with jewelry retailing for under $75, and has her Little James Clothing line for children.

What accelerators are after
Founding WorkshopGreen StagePanel
Startup founders have several options for growth. They can expand organically, funnelling revenues back into expansion. They can take traditional debt, avoiding dilution but eating into margins. They can close equity financing, sharing their risk but also reducing their upside. But in recent years, the accelerator option has become an increasingly popular option.

Spain's Guardia Civil raided several Catalan ministries, arresting members of the government, ahead of Catalonia's independence referendum on 1 October.
"Dear Colleagues, This morning the Spanish militarized police, Guardia Civil, has entered into several Ministries of the Government of Catalonia arresting 13 high ranking politicians. The raids of the Guardia Civil are escalating and are unacceptable for any democratic country. Catalonia is clearly under siege." Said in their letter addressing the European Commission and European Parliamentarians, MEPs Josep-Maria Terricabras, Jordi Solé and Ramon Tremosa.
