Let's talk about a special gift: today.... this right now life... as you read this pause for 1 second and ponder what a miracle you are in right now... today is a SPECIAL day.
Of course, every single person on the planet will experience something different today. Throughout life, there will be a myriad of people, pressures, and circumstances- a marathon journey to a day of destiny.
If you look at the average life it seems that God ordains a pattern for us: some days of darkness, some unforgettable days of miraculous joy, and a lot of just 'ordinary' days. I could develop all of these ideas more- how the dark days come upon us like an ambush and the memory of those days come like sneak attacks, how the beautiful days make us feel so alive and full of joy and hope.
But I want to spend a little time on the 'normal, ordinary, nothing notable' days. Those are still special days- if every day was a dark day we would eventually dry up and die- if everyday was a super special day, we would have the bar raised too high to actually enjoy those golden moments- the average day is that pace in between the moments of despair and delight.
The challenge is to not waste these days- can you squeeze out the marrow in the routine?
Verse 1 "Better a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife"- huge reminder about loving people and not things. Think about this when you have career chances that may put your marriage or time with children in jeopardy. Live with less and love more.
vs 6 "Grandchildren are the crown of the aged" this is one of my prayer requests- I want the Lord to allow me health and energy to love my grandchildren- it is in His hands and I am in NO RUSH.
vs 9 "Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends" I immediately think about I Corinthians 13 where true love is willing to overlook faults- but the main point to me here is to think about the harm of gossip. Anonymous internet postings and wild argumentative criticism is symptomatic of our out of control habit of gossip. This is a much bigger sin in the church than we even realize and it provides a harmful environment for Satan's demons of whisper campaigns. I am going to try and even be better at NOT passing bad info.
Finally, I have always loved vs 22 "A joyful heart is good medicine but a crushed spirit dries up the bones"- First it is true- depression and stress does have physical consequences- but it energizes me to be an encourager to others- Wayne Bratcher always says- BE CHEERFUL.
Have a GREAT DAY- Be thankful- Be loving- Acknowledge the Creator- Serve- ENJOY!
This is the beautiful daily grind!

Q: Ruby .times .upto .downto, etc. Offsetting the printed value Is there a way to offset the value that has been passed in the code block.
For example
C# - This will always print 5
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
  i=5
  Console.WriteLine(i);
}

Ruby - This will print 5 for only 10 times.
10.times do |i|
  i = 5
  puts i
end

Is there a way to get |i| to get back to 5?
and another question. How can you make .times block skip(not increasing by 1 all the time)

A: No, you can't reset the counter of times, upto etc. from within the block.
You can use redo to restart the current iteration of the loop, which in this case will have a similar effect:
10.times do |i|
  i = 5
  puts i
  redo
end

This will print 5 forever (though take note, that the initial value of i will still be 0 at each iteration).
If you need more control than this, you need to use a while loop. Though I'd advice that in most cases where you think you need this, you actually don't and you're just approaching your problem from the wrong angle.

A: You can use the 'next' keyword to skip iterations based on certain criteria if need be.
10.times do |i|
  next if i < 5
  puts i
end

Also you may use the keyword 'redo' as described by sepp2k.

A: This will print the value 5 ten times.
 i=5
 10.times{puts i}

Sue Radford, mum to the UK's biggest family, has revealed she is having a baby boy in the sweetest way.
The star of Channel 4 show, 19 Kids And Counting, took to Facebook to post a video showing the gender reveal of her unborn child in an epic surprise for the rest of the family.
In a video posted to the family's Facebook page, Sue can be seen standing in front of part of her brood in their living room.
The mum announced to nine of her children, all sitting patiently on the floor, that they are about to guess whether their new sibling will be a boy or girl.
Squealing with excitement, the brothers and sisters start raising their hands to vote for which gender they think the new baby will be.
Sue passes round a wrapped up teddy bear, and upon opening it the family can see from the cute blue toy that they will be gaining a little brother.
Fans have been delighted by the news which will see the Radford's, who have nine daughters, welcoming an 11th son, with many commenting on the post with congratulations.
One fan wrote, 'Congratulations to you all on having a baby boy another beautiful child to spoil your family are all so beautiful love watching the tv program you look fabulous with baby number 20 thank you for sharing with us x'.
And another added, 'Congratulations to you all. I love following your family. I have 2 children and I'm permanently tired haha. I don't know how you do it 💙'.
Sue originally took to Instagram to share the delightful news with the family's 17k followers that they are having their 20th baby.
Posting to 'The Radford Family' account, the mum-of-19 shared a sweet snap of a home made announcement confirming that herself and husband Noel are set to become parents for the 20th time.
The family chose to show their announcement on a chalk board which they had drawn on and decorated themselves, writing up a tally that showed how many boys and girls the family currently has.
At the moment Sue and Noel have 10 sons and nine daughters, but have not revealed what the gender of their next child will be.
However, they did reveal that their bundle of joy will be arriving in September 2017, just in time for Autumn.
Next to the adorable picture, the family included an emoji based caption that showed how happy they are to be expanding their brood.
Featuring rainbows and hearts the caption read, '💕💙🌈😁X'.
The post has already gained a lot of attention, being liked nearly 4k times in less than 24 hours and gaining hundreds of comments.
A third follower added, 'Congratulations number 20 is on the way 💙🎀'.
Some even hoped that having another baby would secure the family some more air time, with one fan writing, 'Awwww can't wait, hope there's another documentary coming in the future'.
Congratulations to Sue and Noel!


Looking for business space in S London?
Are you a startup or growing business looking for space in South London?
If so, we want to hear your views about the development of a new workspace and innovation centre.
Sutton Council, in partnership with the Greater London Authority, is working towards establishing an exciting new open workspace and innovation centre, helping to stimulate green and sustainable businesses, and businesses working in the circular economy. It is envisaged the centre will provide light-industrial and 'making' workspace and opportunities for start-up/SME businesses in the Beddington area and beyond. It will also provide space for other complimentary organisations looking to settle and grow in the area.
Meanwhile Space, RCKa and You+Me have been commissioned to plan the development of the project and have put together a short survey to gain a better understanding of people's views on how this space will be best used.


Do you remember the subject that you were worst at in School?
What if we changed our mindset ?
What if we became okay with them looking odd and different ?
What if we taught them enough social skills to navigate the world, but did not make it the fulcrum of their success and the core of their curriculum?
What If we focused on their strengths?
We can find creative ways to harness their passion and turn it into a career.
"I always sold my work, not myself"- says Dr Grandin in a conference I went to recently, "I always got in through the back door... I never passed an interview in my life "
And I too would be lost in a world that expected Chemistry of me.
I love this post!! Yes, we know all about splinter skills. I think it comes with the territory!
Oh, and that's one of my favorite quotes by Temple Grandin!
You have written so beautifully about this. And how I wish we could all apply these to all of our kids and ourselves and the world would be a happier and much less unappreciative place.
rather than building a life around deficit compensation" - simply brilliant. This has affected me deeply.
So right about how we're judged on the verbal thing everywhere! That explains why smooth-talkers who have very little brain power get so far in life (like many of the hosts on The View, haha).
I always sold myself based on my work too, and I'm not even on the spectrum. I think society has changed towards more of the "selling of the self" and that definitely does give advantage to our kids. I hope that we can walk the fine line of helping to give them the necessary skills to function independently in society without making them feel deficient in any way!
I am SO with you, K. SO WITH YOU!!
oh dear. I'm glad you wrote this post. It is yet another reminder that I need to be open to accepting other ways of communication. I AM, don't get me wrong, but it's so easy to push and strive after the speech because that's what I understand. wow, this one struck a nerve- I absolutely hated science and math....I wouldn't want to be forcing all the hard stuff on Daniel all the time if it feels the same for him! Thanks for giving me something more to think about!!!
Can I just say that I heart you????
This is such beautiful post.
there is just such wisdom and true meaning in it.
The simple truths that you speak of here are so applicable to all our lives..
YES. you write this so well, you explain it perfectly. this is a post i'm sure i will refer back to often.
there's only one part in which i beg to differ. you are brilliant and have great gifts - in your mothering, your writing, your ability to help us celebrate our children.
In the areas auties are strong they tend to be way beyond the capabilities of most NT folks so why not help them work on maximizing those abilities?

Q: Cordova captureImage Fails FileNotFoundException I'm having trouble getting capture.captureImage to work. Using Cordova 3.5.0, org.apache.cordova.file-1.3.0, org.apache.cordova.media-capture-0.3.3. Debugging in Eclipse shows that
that.cordova.getActivity().getContentResolver().insert(android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values)

in onActivityResult returns uri = content://media/external/images/media/nnnn but
OutputStream os = that.cordova.getActivity().getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri)

throws a FileNotFoundException

A: It appears that the issue is that the uri returned by the insert method is not properly resolved by openOutputStream. What worked for me was instead of calling openOutputStream, do the following:
String dfname = getRealPathFromURI(uri);
File df = new File(dfname);
File dfolder = df.getParentFile();
if(!dfolder.exists()) dfolder.mkdirs();
if(!df.exists()) df.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(df);

private String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentURI) {
    Cursor cursor = this.cordova.getActivity().getContentResolver().query(contentURI, null, null, null, null);
    if (cursor == null) { // Source is Dropbox or other similar local file path
        return contentURI.getPath();
    } else {
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA);
        return cursor.getString(idx);
    }
}

You'll need to import java.io.FileOutputStream, if not already done.  I thank Isaac Zais for his answer that pointed me in the right direction and for the getRealPathFromURI code.
It would be great if a Cordova developer could explain if this is a bug in org.apache.cordova.media-capture or somewhere else or if there is a way to get this to work without having to modify the latest version of the plugin.
Tested on Samsung Galaxy S5, Android 4.4.4.

A: I don't have enough reputation to comment on your answer, but dp22193's patch works great! Please see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7768 for the bug report and the patch attached to it.

The tyranny of extreme patriarchy
21 October 2006 | by Asa_Nisi_Masa2 – See all my reviews
You realise that millennia of civilisation have been quite useless if the functioning of a whole community ultimately depends on whether a man can have an erection or not! The subject of Mauro Bolognini's movie Il Bell'Antonio – male impotence – would be audacious in 2006, let alone in 1960. Yet here, it's treated with unflinching honesty, one that surprised me for 1960. No euphemisms, no sensationalism, no malicious elbow-nudging, nor sentimental melodrama, but a heart-on-the-sleeve openness which also allows its long-suffering hero to maintain his dignity through a fierce portrait of a ruthlessly paternalistic society. This is all done without the aid of a single sex-scene, which IMO would have been redundant.
The movie shows us upper-class Sicily in the late 1950s (though actually, it's based upon a novel set in the 1930s – Fascist-era Italy). This is a society in which appearing is the essence of being and the accepted norm are arranged marriages between the children of the richest families, celebrated by the entire town in the same way as Prince Charles and Diana Spencer's was back in the early 80s. As is the case with the best classic Italian movies, Il Bell'Antonio couples bitterness/fierce social satire with comedy/humour seamlessly. Superb leads in the form of the timeless Marcello Mastroianni and the divine Claudia Cardinale, impeccably playing an unpleasant character for once, give the movie extra depth, beauty and soulfulness. Claudia is Barbara Puglisi, the "golden girl" that Antonio is expected to marry, the daughter of one of the richest families on the island and a virginal social-climber of the most conventional, blinkered, obtusely stubborn kind. The even greater tragedy is that despite their marriage having been arranged by their families, Antonio really falls for her very badly.
Marcello Mastroianni, who neither as an actor nor as a man remotely deserved to be considered the typical "Latin lover" type that Hollywood producers wished to market him as, plays the titular lead, the "beautiful" Antonio Magnano. On the verge of 30, in his prime as far as looks, health and opportunities are concerned, Antonio has just returned to his native Sicilian city of Catania after having lived in Rome for three years. We very quickly gather that Antonio is from an upper class Sicilian family, is the apple of his father and mother's eye, and something of a superstar in the whole of Catania, where his family is well-known and respected. He is adored by women, who believe him to be an irresistible seducer, a Casanova with hundreds of notches on his bed-post. He is also courted by important men, all dying to act as his patrons in some prestigious profession or the other. Women's heads make 90-degree turns when he walks into a room, and older ladies gasp in wonder at his handsomeness from their balconies when he walks past them, fantasising that he may become their son-in-law. Antonio's father is played by Pierre Brasseur, who receives much praise in reviews of the movie. In my opinion, he is actually the least credibly cast actor in this movie, losing out to Rina Morelli who plays his wife, Antonio's mother (she really comes into her own in a memorable "showdown" scene between herself and Claudia Cardinale in a church, and in the second half of the movie generally). On the other hand, so many of Brasseur's expressions and mannerism betray a blatant Frenchness, rather than a credible Italianness, or even better, a Sicilianness.
Mr Magnano Senior swells with pride at the very thought of his son's alleged sexual prowess and reputation. He pretty much bases much of the reasons for boosting his family's public image precisely on Antonio being able to continue the virile oeuvre started by himself, in his youthful days, all over Sicily! With such a premise, you just know that the movie's dramatic climax is going to be the ruinous fall from glory experienced by the poor Antonio, who seemingly carries the weight of the whole of Sicily's expectations on his all too human shoulders right from the start! It's as if this poor man were expected to lift the whole island up with his erection. You don't expect the extent of the tyranny of such a patriarchal society on its male children. The story of the dishonoured girl cast out of her society certainly finds a male equivalent in Il Bell'Antonio.
Also worthy of note is the Cuban actor Tomas Milian playing Edoardo, Antonio's cousin, the only sane, rational and detached voice among a chorus of shrill scandal-mongers. It's thanks to this character that we get to hear Antonio finally speak at the end of the movie, telling us his first-hand experience as an impotent Sicilian man catastrophically fallen from glory. I do wonder if before or since this movie, such an honest and charitable, as well as credible psychological study of male sexual problems has ever been filmed - perhaps in part only in Sex, Lies and Videotape. The conclusion of Antonio's story exemplifies the bitterest and most satirical form of so-called "happy ending" – if the movie weren't already so good overall, the ending would be worth the watch alone! For any fan of classic Italian cinema, this will be a rare treat indeed. If you love Mastroianni, you simply cannot afford to miss this. And for any fan of cinema generally… ditto.
The literary source the movie is based upon, the Sicilian writer Vitaliano Brancati's novel of the same title, furthermore lends itself perfectly to this dual mood of fierce social satire and classic Italian comedy. Few men of letters have pinpointed the true natural of latter-day Southern Italian machismo as well as Brancati. Cliché-free, with such an eye for the absurd, the comical, the down-right frightening and angering, I highly recommend not only Il Bell'Antonio, but also all of Vitaliano's major novels: it wasn't just Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa and his novel The Leopard who evocatively captured a long-gone Sicily in the written form.

Les cathares du  ont cherché et trouvé dans l'Évangile de Jean, plus "ésotérique" que les autres, une justification de leurs propres théories.

Beaucoup de passages sont naturellement dualistes. Il en est d'autres que les cathares ont interprété de façon plus ou moins contestable, mais toujours significative. La différence entre l'hérésie et l'orthodoxie tient souvent à une nuance sémantique, parfois même à la seule place de la césure dans un verset.

La totalité du présent article (à l'exception des notes) est tirée du chapitre "L'Évangile selon Saint-Jean" d'un livre de René Nelli :.

La double création
L'Évangile commence comme suit :
 Au commencement était le Verbe (1,1) (...) Tout fut par lui et sans lui rien ne fut (1,3)

Les cathares interprétaient ce verset ainsi :
 Tout fut par lui et sans lui fut créé le Néant
En interprétant Néant comme un ensemble réel de choses négatives, le Mal. Et non pas comme une simple négation.

 Ce qui fut en lui était la vie et la vie était la lumière des hommes (1,4)
L'interprétation habituelle est :
 Tout ce qui a été fait était en lui la vie ou plus synthétiquement De tout être, il était la vie.
Les cathares l'interprétaient ainsi :
 (Seul) ce qui fut en lui était la vie
Autrement dit, il y a des choses qui n'ont pas été créées par Dieu.

Opposition Lumière-Ténèbres
Cet antagonisme souvent présent dans cet Évangile ne correspond pas forcément à un dualisme métaphysique, mais il a contribué à raffermir les cathares dans leur foi en les deux Principes :
 Moi <Jésus>, je suis la lumière du monde. Qui me suit ne marchera pas dans les ténèbres, mais aura la lumière de la vie (8,12).

Le monde temporel et l'Éternité
Les parfaits cathares avaient bien conscience de ne plus appartenir au monde satanique et, par voie de conséquence, la ferme volonté de se retrancher de lui.
 Mon royaume n'est pas de ce monde dit Jésus à Pilate (18,36)
 Moi, il <le monde> me hait parce que je <Jésus> témoigne que ses œuvres sont mauvaises (7,7)
 Ce qui est né de la chair est chair, ce qui est né de l'esprit est esprit (3,6)
 Dieu est esprit et ceux qui adorent <(Dieu)>, c'est en esprit et en vérité qu'ils doivent adorer  (4,24)

Les âmes, les brebis perdues
Les cathares pensaient que les brebis perdues dont parle le Christ, ce sont les âmes. Jésus est venu sur la terre pour montrer par son exemple et son enseignement comment elles peuvent gagner l'éternité.
Le salut vient de l'amour. L'amour qui doit unir les hommes entre eux est le même que celui que Dieu a eu pour les hommes.
 Je vous donne un commandement nouveau : vous aimer les uns les autres comme je vous ai aimés (13,34-35)
L'amour est le gage de la totale union mystique avec Dieu.
 Comme toi, Père, tu es en moi et moi en toi, qu'eux aussi soient en nous (17,21)

La charité, le vrai pain de vie
Comme la matière relève du monde mauvais selon eux, les cathares ne croyaient pas à la Transsubstantiation, c'est-à-dire la transformation du pain et du vin en Corps et Sang du Christ lors de l'Eucharistie. D'ailleurs dans l'Évangile de Jean, on ne trouve pas de parole de Jésus en ce sens, mais au contraire l'évocation d'un vrai pain de vie :
 Le pain de Dieu, c'est celui qui descend du ciel et donne la vie au monde (6,33)
Cependant, les cathares rompaient le pain et le mangeaient en souvenir du dernier repas de Jésus lors de la Cène.

l'Esprit
Pour les cathares, c'est l'esprit qui sauve et non pas tellement la connaissance, comme le pensent les gnostiques.
 Dieu est esprit et ceux qui adorent <Dieu>, c'est en esprit et en vérité qu'ils doivent adorer (4,24)
Et les cathares trouvent dans cet Évangile une confirmation de leurs théories de réincarnation.
 En vérité, en vérité, je te le dis, à moins de naître de nouveau, nul ne peut voir le Royaume de Dieu (3,3)

la Grâce
Les dualistes absolus ne croyaient pas au libre-arbitre : Dieu seul peut libérer l'homme du mal :
 Hors de moi <Jésus>, vous ne pouvez rien faire (15,5)

Le Diable
Le Diable apparait souvent dans l'Évangile de Jean, non pas comme un créateur, mais comme le prince de ce monde. Les pêcheurs sont spirituellement parlant les fils du Diable.
  Vous <le peuple> êtes du diable votre père et ce sont les désirs de votre père que vous voulez accomplir. Il était homicide dès le commencement et n'était pas établi dans la vérité parce qu'il n'y a pas de vérité en lui : quand il profère le mensonge, il parle de son propre fonds parce qu'il est menteur et père du mensonge (8,44)

La fin des Temps
À la fin des temps, le Diable sera vaincu :
 C'est maintenant le jugement de ce monde ; maintenant le Prince de ce monde va être jeté bas ; et moi <Jésus>, une fois élevé de terre, je les attirerai tous à moi (12,31-32)

The excitement around applications for virtual reality (VR) in healthcare have tended to overshadow its less well-known cousin, augmented reality (AR) – a similar technology that, rather than rely on a completely computer-generated world, integrates technology into real life. However, Apple is redressing the balance with its announcement this week that it will incorporate AR into its native messaging apps for its smart devices.
AR is not new. In fact, the gaming industry has been experimenting with it over the past two decades or so. It reached its peak of public interest last year with the release of the mobile game phenomenon Pokémon GO.
The game is played via a smart device and allows players to 'see' and 'catch' computerised characters overlaid on real-time camera footage.
Launched in July 2016, Pokémon GO demonstrated the power of augmented reality to the masses.
The app sparked the imagination of many in the healthcare market, suggesting Pokémon GO, and games of its ilk, could present a new way to treat psychological disorders, such as social anxiety or depression, by encouraging interaction with real-world environments.
Some even suggested that similar apps could go a step further, overlaying relevant imagery onto physical objects to streamline healthcare proceedings.
Apple's revelation caused speculation over whether the company would go a step further and build the technology into several new wearables rumoured to be in the pipeline, the most intriguing of which is a 'head-mounted display apparatus for retaining a portable electronic device'.
Apple filed a patent for a VR-style headset in 2015, fuelling rumours that the company could be developing an alternative to the Samsung Gear or Google Glass headsets.
To build AR into such a device conjures an image of something along the lines of Google Glass – a lop-sided set of glasses that houses an onboard computer and beams imagery into the eye.
At the time, the concept was intended to bring a Minority Report-esque edge to real life, presenting users with their desired information with a simple voice-activated search or by simply tapping the right-hand arm of the device.
Unfortunately, the consumer arm of the project ended up in the Google graveyard, thanks to public backlash over its price tag and limited app catalogue. However, it has continued as a platform for developers looking to apply the device to healthcare.
Capabilities for the device range from automatically filling out electronic health records to training the next wave of surgeons.
Another possible route would be something akin to Microsoft's HoloLens – a far bigger and more powerful version of Glass that allows users to perform anything from playing games to writing documents (essentially a wearable PC).
Although it has yet to state the exact intentions for its VR/AR headset, Microsoft has shown interest in the health market, lending its tech to a collaboration with US health insurance company Cigna to create a vital sign measurement tool.
Right now, where Apple will go with the technology is pure speculation. However, one thing is certain: AR is growing in popularity among big tech companies looking to disrupt the healthcare market.

Intel enters the AI race
IBM Watson has had few 'big-time' competitors to its artificial intelligence (AI) solution to date, with its biggest potential contender, DeepMind Health, choosing to focus on the NHS for the time being.
However, that could be about to change. In a short editorial piece released on the Intel website, Naveen Rao – former CEO of Intel-acquired Nervana – revealed that the company has formed a new Artificial Intelligence Products Group (AIPG), for which he will be the vice president and general manager.
The move suggests Intel is gearing up for a big push into AI, perhaps taking a broad approach like IBM Watson and taking advantage of its ties with other companies, such as Google and Microsoft.
What specific markets Intel's AI will be applied to is up for discussion, although health is mentioned amongst smart factories, drones and driverless cars where Rao believes AI could make its biggest impact.
As Watson has demonstrated, the potential for AI in healthcare is huge, ranging from informing cancer treatment decisions to analysing patient scans – all of which Intel could now be looking to.
Regardless of where Intel chooses to go, it looks like it won't just be Watson dominating the AI headlines.
Cognoa gets funding to grow autism detection app
One of many Silicon Valley startups looking to innovate in health, Cognoa is an app designed to assess child development and identify conditions like autism at an early stage.
This week, the company received its second round of investment, bringing its total investment since its founding in 2013 to just over $20 million.
The app works by analysing patient-reported outcomes (input by parents) using machine learning to assess whether a child is developing at a healthy pace.
It is not intended as a diagnostic for behavioural disorders, but it can help inform paediatricians as to whether interventional therapy is needed.
The new funding will go towards further validation studies of the app, to help it gain FDA approval in due course. Some will also be invested in expanding the app's use to paediatricians, employers and insurers.
"Our goal is to improve families' lives while supporting clinicians by enabling earlier diagnosis and improved outcomes for children," said Cognoa CEO Brent Vaughan. "Cognoa's next phase of growth will involve not only engaging in additional clinical validation and pursuing FDA approvals, but also working with employers and health plans to offer our clinically-validated assessment and child development support platform to employers to support [employees who are] parents."

Optimization — making code faster — is an essential ingredient of modern computing. The speed of light is limited, so we're unable to increase computer clock speed anymore; in other news, the matter is composed of discrete atoms so we can't make circuits much smaller than they already are. That means more speed for essential tasks — ranging from speech recognition to self-driving cars to General Artificial Intelligence — is to be found in people's minds.
This talk discusses two new examples at the opposite ends of the spectrum of optimization techniques. First, a silicon-oriented technique: replacing branches with arithmetic. Modern CPUs deal better with straight-line code than with "surprising" branches, and this quirk can be exploited in a principled manner. Second, a (surprise!) classic algorithm can be adjusted to take into account data distribution statistics and locality, for better theoretical and practical performance.

Since the beginning of 2007, the band consisted of lead vocalist Stephen Christian, guitarists Joseph Milligan and Christian McAlhaney, bassist Deon Rexroat, and drummer Nathan Young.
On December 15, 2017, it was announced that the band's former rhythm guitarist Nathan Strayer had died. He was 34.
On October 18, 2018, the band announced that they would reunite for one show on December 14 at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida, as part of Underoath's Erase Me Tour. The band also performed a headlining show the day before at The Orpheum.
In March 2019, it was announced that the band would perform a series of headlining shows across Australia in May 2019. In April 2019, the band announced a 22-stop U.S. tour. Young revealed the band had no plans to stage a comeback after the reunion shows.

You might have heard the term "co-working" floating around Squamish in the last couple of years, especially with the recent openings of Aligned Collective and The Common, two new coworking spaces available in Squamish.
But what exactly is co-working?
Instead of leasing individual office space, "coworkers" purchase monthly memberships, effectively paying a fraction of the cost.
Coworking is not unlike a gym membership. It's like a gym membership for the brain. Fitness fanatics pay a small monthly fee to use gym equipment. They get to drop in at anytime and use facilities with an understanding that the whole gym is always shared will other community members interested in their health. Coworkers pay a monthly fee at a fraction of the cost of a bigger private space, in return for a shared use of all the space and its resources.
We also share ideas, community, climbing and bike rides (learn more!).
Coworking space often attract small business owners, sole-proprietors, consultants, and remote workers. People who could work from home or from a cafe, but who maybe crave a more professional setting to focus down. Maybe it's parents who need a break from their kids every once in a while, or folks who work from Vancouver some days, and from a home office on other days. Maybe it's folks needing a get-away space to avoid the shaming of unwashed laundry.
It's becoming increasingly popular and standard. Between 2006 and 2015, the number of coworking spaces and available seats have nearly doubled each year. In 2007 there were only 14 coworking spaces on Earth. Now, 10 years later, there are more than 11,000, with an additional 15,000 establishments are forecasted to open doors by 2020.
At Aligned Collective, we are home to environmental strategists, marketers, graphic designers, urban planners, building developers and we are growing like crazy (read about who's in the space currently here).
We have many people who work weird hours. For a town known for its outdoor play, coworking spaces work really well for professionals who want to play during the day, but still need to get stuff done.
For many folks, 5pm is when the work day starts.
Regardless of the time of day, or the particular coworking space you're looking into, a key benefit of all coworking spaces is that they foster meaningful connections and collaborations between creative people. Coworkers tend to enjoy talking with others; they want to shared ideas, and stimulate innovation. Unlike in cafes where most conversations end up being social conversations, coworking spaces encourage people to show up wearing a professional hat, which leads to different outcomes and new working relationships. This helps grow local, connected economies.
Far from "stuffy and boring" like traditional office spaces, coworking spaces are a unique blend of social people looking to be productive.
At Aligned Collective, our open floor plan allows people to spontaneously "bump into one another," a collaboration technique known for sparking conversation, used by major companies—including Pixar—to spur creativity.
"Pixar designed its headquarters in California with all the bathrooms in the center of the building, and all the food and coffee in the center in an atrium. They were very intentional about wanting people who are artists and animators, and the coders, and the music people, and the screen writers to be constantly bumping into each other in random ways to spark ideas." Benjamin Jones, a strategy professor at the Kellogg School said in a 2017 business article on collaboration.
Instead of us telling you what working at Aligned Collective is like, let's see what people have said about Aligned Collective on Facebook.
A collection of Facebook reviews of Aligned Collective from early 2018.
Collaboration and cheap rent aren't the only reasons coworking is taking off.
Of course, many home offices in Squamish are also be equipped with the basic standards of an office.
There is something special—and enlivening—about showing up to a space where professional hats are the norm. Productivity increases, social hour talk decreases, and the ability to get meaningful work done seems to magically be easier.

We have heard through the grapevine Leo Vegas online casino have teamed up with NYX Gaming to release a hybrid casino game combining two popular card games.
Mixing our favourite game, blackjack, with the popular card game of poker, LeoVegas.com and NYX Gaming have created an interesting hybrid title.
The game, known as 21 Heads up, is a result of the team at LeoVegas being inspired by the poker player and Olympic wrestling champion, Frank Andersson.
We aren't quite sure as to the exact release of this new and exciting game, but we will keep an eye out for any new information and you will be the first to know here when we have more details.
For now, you can play the huge variety of blackjack games available at Leo Vegas, including a new addition called Perfect Pairs/ 21+ 3.
Leo Vegas employs a number of software developers and as such offers a substantial blackjack catalogue, featuring a recent new addition.
Perfect Pairs/ 21+ 3 is a fairly new addition to Leo Vegas online casino from Realistic Gaming and is based on a standard game of 21 but with the additions of extra bets. These include wagering on the first cards being a pair – mixed, coloured or perfect – or on the first two cards plus the dealer's card creating a poker hand – straight, straight flush, flush, 3 of a kind, or suited 3 of a kind.
Standard blackjack gameplay is offered too, with the minimum bet of $1, and the maximum bet of $2500 on offer.
For players after a low limit standard blackjack title we recommend Blackjack Single Deck Pro, with low stakes. The minimum bet available is $0.10, while maximum bet available is $5 and the game is played with just one standard deck meaning a low house edge of 0.48% (when playing the perfect basic strategy). You can also get medium and high table limits with this variant, too.
While you're waiting for the release of 21 Heads Up, head on over to LeoVegas.com for the best real money online blackjack games on your desktop computer or mobile device.

Welcome To Wonderland
One of the biggest announcements of the year was made yesterday. Appears they have done a
full 360 on their decision to increase imports rather than increase production as they started doing
from day one when this President first took office. This may imply the government is concerned about
food shortages in addition to the cost of the house hold stable food basket, which has garnered a lot
of attention in the press lately.
Government will not import anything that is produced here.
Constanza, La Vega, DR
The Vice President of the Republic, Raquel Peña, expressed that the State has national production as a priority and that articles produced in the country will not be replaced by imported produce.
"As a government, we guarantee that we have national production as a priority and as the public-private alliance to face the pandemic gave us results, we are committed to carrying out a public-producers alliance so that they can guarantee their production and food stability in the country," Peña said after a meeting with associations of Constanza.
She pointed out that despite "the challenging moments the country is facing due to the war conflict, the government is looking for mechanisms to promote decent work."
She emphasized the creation of a coalition between the public sector and producers to guarantee food stability.
Raquel Peña made this weekend an approach with farmers of La Vega and other provinces where she initiated some works in the health and industrial sector.

"Peña also visited San Pedro de Macorís and inaugurated six industrial warehouses in the Free Zone park managed by Proindustria.
Four new manufacturing companies will be installed there, which will generate 1,500 new jobs."
For those who know better than I, is this realistic or just wishful thinking?
Joseph NY2STI said:
Makes sense. Proindustria has a bunch of empty buildings in the SPM free zones. My company alone had 3 until our main client closed shop.

Police in Pattaya have denied reports that an Indian tourist was chased off a beach by local mafia.
Pol Colonel Apichai Krobphet from Pattaya police told Sanook News that he had interviewed all parties involved, none of whom were members of a mafia gang, as had previously been reported.
Pol Col Apichai said that the incident occurred between a group of Thais and Indians due to a disagreement over 3,000 baht.
According to police, both parties were known to each and do not have any mafia connections.
The incident occured when Baldeep Singh Gultali and a friend were eating near the beach opposite the entrance to Soi 8.
Mr Gultali received a call from another Indian man called Gurwiwder Singh who asked him to transfer 3,000 baht to someone in India.
Mr Gultali explained he only had 2,500 baht in his account, so Mr Singh arrange for a Thai driver to deliver an extra 500 baht so Mr Gultali could make the transfer.
However, when the Thai driver arrived, he demanded a fee for having brought the money. Mr Gultali refused and a quarrel started. Mr Singh then arrived and some of his Thai assistants and the whole thing escalated as the group started brawling in the street.
A group of people who work on the beach then tried to calm the situation. However, this is where the misunderstanding occurred, police say.
A Thai tourist who saw the beach workers intervene reported to police that they had chased some the Indian men off the beach.


So the court awarded you alimony and you think that it should be a smooth process moving forward. In comes the time when you are expecting to receive payment and you quickly learn that your ex-wife is refusing to pay...so now what? There are a few courses of action you can take, with the most common being issuing a contempt case or income withholding.
First things first, you'll have to head back to court for help with a trusted divorce attorney. If a spouse is failing to pay a court-ordered alimony, they are violating court orders. In this case, judges will most likely institute a charge of contempt of court against your ex-wife. In a contempt of court case, a party (you) will ask the court to find the other party (your ex-wife) in contempt for not following the rules of the court. With that being said, your spouse could face fines and incarceration. If the judge finds that your ex-wife is in contempt, he or she may order your ex-wife to pay a certain amount of the alimony on the same day or within a specific time-fame in order to avoid jail time or fines.
Some states allow a spouse to have funds automatically deducted from an ex-spouse's paycheck. This form of payment keeps you out of the equation and guarantees that you will receive payment, as long as your spouse remains employed of course. To do so, you need to make sure that your alimony includes an income withholding provision from the court. If your spouse is willfully unemployed, you could even request that the judge orders your spouse to look for a job to accelerate the process.
There are many ways that you can go about collecting unpaid alimony, depending on the state you live in. However, do not take the chance to handle this situation and contact an experienced divorce attorney immediately. Divorce issues can be the most difficult and emotionally daunting experiences you go through. However, we're here to help. From divorce to alimony, our attorneys at Bailey Smith Bailey have over 90 years of combined experience of aggressively representing clients in court. Before making any decisions about how to go about collecting funds from your spouse, turn to our experts for the proper assistance and guidance.

MY MISSION was to find a venue for a Valentine's Day dinner, but where to go?
I asked around among my more hedonistic acquaintances who thought it was a no-brainer: the Witchery. Named for the hundreds of women burnt just outside on Castlehill, the Witchery is an authentic slice of history, from the 17th century oak panels, to the tapestries on the walls, the exposed beams and studded red leather upholstery. Think Jacobean tavern, magical, baroque, gothic, theatrical. A Hallmark card is sweet, but the Witchery has hallmarked romance and a sense of theatre.
For 30 years James Thomson's The Witchery by the Castle has been attracting discerning diners from near and far. Celebs who have been bewitched include Vivienne Westwood, Miranda Richardson, Bernardo Bertolucci, Alan Parker, Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jacques Villeneuve, Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Dannii Minogue, Matt Groening and Cameron Mackintosh. Presumably not all on the same night or it would be a tight squeeze.
Space is at a premium (although there's the Secret Garden courtyard too) but that only makes for intimacy, which is what you want when romance is in the air. Small tables encourage hand-holding and murmuring with heads close to candles flickering in antique church candlesticks. Perfect, as long as your hair extensions don't catch fire.
Prompt service saw our starters arrive in no time. King scallops, hand-dived off Mull that morning, were joined by Iberico bacon dice, all swimming in garlic butter, which the home-made bread was perfect for mopping up. Someone who likes his scallops soft, my partner found them slightly overdone, but I found them perfect.
My own starter of beetroot, crowdie, and cauliflower purée turned out to be my favourite part of the meal, thanks to its imaginative combination of flavours and textures. Red and golden beets arranged in a swirl in the centre of the plate were surrounded by dots of subtly flavoured loveliness. There were mini islands of subtle smoked cauliflower purée and Katie Rodger's dreamily creamy crowdie (which you'll also find at Andrew Fairlie at Gleneagles, Martin Wishart and the Three Chimneys in Skye), topped off with roasted hazelnuts. These beets had clearly never languished inside a jar of vinegar and were earthy, rootsy and delicate. Like me, beetroot really should get out more often.
I opted for salmon, plucked from the cold, clear waters of Loch Duart and smoked on the premises. This was a statement dish packed with flavour and served with buttered Alexander stems, oyster hollandaise and sweet potato chips. As the salmon battled it out with the smoky flavour, I spared a thought for the smoky end endured by the poor witches just a few steps away. Meanwhile, my partner loved his roast line-caught Cornish wild bass but the pot au feu of oxtail and vegetables on which it reclined saw him perplexed. For him, fish and beef together was not a marriage made in food heaven, and it was all about that bass.
Meanwhile I'd fallen in love. With my mashed potato. Served in the Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall of tiny copper pans (a rustic cutie), my maris pipers with peas and bacon were a soothing counterbalance to the smoky salmon, while grilled mushrooms added an unexpected flash of flavour.
Being ignorant about wine we went with the friendly sommelier's recommendations from a vast list. A glass of crisp Loire sauvignon blanc suited the sea bass main and a South African chenin blanc was robust enough to match the salmon.
Pudding was unnecessary but sweet nothings require sweet somethings so the waiter suggested The Witchery Pudding Selection. A slate filled with a taster portion of each of the puddings on the menu, it featured dark Belgian chocolate tart, vanilla crème brulée, chocolate gateau, mini trifle, pistachio cream (the best thing on the slate), griottine cherry and ice-cream. These sweet touches must have worked their magic, as our waiter apologised for "interrupting the romance" as he approached to remove our plates.
As the candlelight flickered and reflected off the silver pots of tea that rounded off the meal, we realised everyone else had sloped off unnoticed into the night. We were the last to leave. The Witchery had us under its spell.
And then the bill, the only downside to this meal. The Witchery is dear, but top notch local ingredients don't come cheap so it's a knock-your-loved-one's-socks-off type of place. Your bank manager might not love you, but your dining companion will.
THE Witchery makes much of its local suppliers and growers, as fishermen, farmers, cheesemakers, butchers and gamekeepers from across Scotland and the North of England make it onto the menu.
If it hadn't been such a cold night, the heritage tomato tart, mascarpone custard, tomato jelly and tomato salad (£17) would have been top of my list. If lobster's your thing, why not go for the Scottish seafood platter with its oysters, langoustines, clams, mussels, crab and hot-smoked salmon served on ice with lime mayonnaise, Tabasco and fresh lemon, with half lobster (£45), or whole (£60)?
If you're in the mood for sharing, Lamb Wellington for two (£60) includes a pastry-baked lamb loin stuffed with wild mushroom and chicken mousse, wrapped in serrano ham, served with smoked aubergine purée, spring greens and basil mash.
The Witchery also has a Lunch and Theatre Supper Menu and a Witchery Table d'Hôte Menu, both of which have a choice of three options per course.
There are numerous vegetarian options and an Allergens Menu for those with special dietary requirements.

Q: SQLALCHEMY delete all rows in existing database in python I have created a sqlite database in python according to a tutorial:
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
engine = create_engine('sqlite:///DB.db')

And next time I run the python script, it has old data in there.
How can I delete all rows, reinitialise or even delete the database (where is it located?)?

A: If you don't need the data to persist, you can use an in-memory sqlite database, using
engine = create_engine('sqlite://')

If you still want the data to be accessible after you run your script, but each execution should just start anew, simply delete the DB.db file wherever the working directory is, at the start of your script:
import os
if os.path.exists('DB.db'):
   os.remove('DB.db')


Web Reflection: The Daily Ext JS WTF!
I am getting bored ... the cost per use enterprise ready UI library we all heard about has some intrinsic, internal, illogical logic!
I already wrote how to hack JsonReader to obtain expected behavior.
I have already posted how to solve the TreePanel arrows inconsistency ... what I have never said is that my version of Ext JS is 30% hacked via overrides, extends, or directly in the core and 70% hacked in my application code to make it widely work as expected.
I am constantly trying to fix missed rendered components, layout problems, not visualized stuff ... I am hacking the entire layout process in Ext JS 2. Apparently version 3 with about 1000 fixes and enhancements should have solved layout problem but what I think is: how can be possible that probably the only library with a license for commercial purpose has to be that problematic with layout? The answer is that to make things "delayable" layout s not synchronous. I had then to hack with my timeouts automatic selections, forcing for example a grid to have first row selected 'cause if you use the specific method you do not obtain what you expect: a selected row!
Does it make any sense? Down to hack the behavior changing classes manually and run-time ... Cheers!
Today during a presentation the impossible happened: a click between two rows, probably in the border, probably in that pixel that should not be there, or better, is not logically managed!
The GridPanel, and this time it is the same for both version 2 and 3, has an horrible bug. If you click exactly in the middle of two rows it could select one of them without firing the rowclick event.
How can be possible? It is simple: they decide to manage rows differently between the SelectionModel and the GridLayout so that the selection model could be "activated" accidentally highlighting the row without firing the rowclick/rowmousedown event. Are you kidding me?
Let's explain to a customer that that row was not truly selected ... and after you receive hundreds of insults, let's go in the forum to see if anybody was brave enough to admit that the logic behind the Grid is absolutely a joke.
I had to file a bug for Firefox after I spent half a day to hack the grid to simply make text selection possible and I had to recursively hack the element style parent after parent to force MozUserSelect="text" in order to make that selection possible. I had to hack the grid via an asynchronous event in the selection model, rowselect, finding manually the incriminated div and manually firing the rowclick event when it is not fired because of the "selection model border" ... BLOODY HELL!!!
I still think Ext JS is one of the best "ready to use" UI libraries but I am truly annoyed by silly logics/stuff like the one described. I am day after day regretting I did not choose the YUI Library which is similar, component speaking, free, and event handling speaking definitively more reliable ... if you guys in Ext need some help from a JS developer give me a shout, I have dunno how many fixes for you, but please, if not, do not rush with releases and make everything as robust as you can.
The application is huge, it is not possible right now to change ... and there's no time to do it as well. I simply hope we'll migrate to version 3 ASAP!
I know qooxdoo is a good project, but I would give a try to YUI before because is ready to run. Guys, you should really consider "the root stack to go" cause you are "scaring" developers to use your framework. Not everybody is under Linux and Python is something I use locally (version 3 though) but I cannot force a Visual Studio Team System based development team to use a completely "out of control" stack to manage client builds. Got the point?
Have you ever tried smartclient.com ?
Why don't you address this in the ext forums and get someone like Animal or the core devs (guys who understand the library) to help you?
Sure, you can't easily switch technology in a already huge project. That for sure. I mainly mean for some kind of new projects when you have them.
I got the point Andrea regarding the build system. I don't know though how to deliver qooxdoo the best for people without a build system. It might be possible to pre-package qooxdoo in some kind of modules. But that always result into overhead as classes or functionality is loaded which is used nowhere. And this is also true for your own application. In my current company I use the same source code for douzens of delivery platforms. Some kind of auto-dependency tracking works wonders here. Please tell me what you think would work for guys like you - or projects like yours.
I would be really interested where you think YUI is better than ExtJs. I think that ExtJS GUI-technology is still ahead of YUIs. Not sure about 3.0 though. qooxdoo and YUI (and even ExtJS) play in completely different classes regarding UI creation. qooxdoo is by far the most abstracted way as there is no DOM visible - even when creating new widgets or building a custom theme.
@ClaudeFR, as I said it's too late to switch UI framework but interesting project, thanks.
@wbpasti, dojo style, as YUI style, would be a good way to include incrementally. qooxdoo is actually the only FW I know that to be usable requires other installations. The full inclusion problem? 90% of people do not care if it is 300Kb or just 90Kb, specially for intranet based project where right here I am managing more than 2 Mb of client code ... think about it. qooxdoo is good but its "to go" plus the build system is the less flexible I know. I've personally created a build system here so when necessary, developers know how to implement one.
@Andrea: Less flexible? Do you really have seen the build system of 0.8? I hope you can explain this. I think it is pretty flexible. You can configure everything as you like even adding new jobs/targets and calling external applications to e.g. build stuff for Adobe AIR or PhoneGap. I got your point with intranet applications though. It may be right that size-wise it makes no difference. Though it might still matter regarding execution/load time.
What a load of old toss.
You are probably right, it was just an outburst ... but seriously, you cannot imagine how many silly problems I have and specially the grid one is quite annoying cause cellclick, rowclick, and others could be useless in certain situations while rowmousedown works but to know which cell was the target is truly difficult.
None is supposed to never allow any children selection (visually). -moz-none is the same but can be overwritten. That is how I understand it anyhow.
I agree 100% with Andrea Giammarchi (and not only because I'm italian too.... :) .
I'm a newbie of ExtJS and I'm migrating my actual web application ( a very big J2EE application) to extjs..
Many ExtJS Team people also provide workaround, but at the end they are not part of the standard.
In every web application usually a mandatory or readonly field should have a way to identifier it... this is for usability. ExtJS doesn't have it.. do you want it ? use same example.. but why? all people need it! put in the standard.
Ok... all can be done.. but so it is not a ready to use framework to build for example ERP web application.. You must customize a lot of component.
Don't feel too bad. I've hacked the crap out of Ext 2.0. My ext_overides.js file is 500 LOC.
I'm in the middle of a 3.0 upgrade. It's better but still crawling with issues.

Redesigned in 2004 the Laguna Phuket Golf Club offers a challenge for every golfer on this resort based 18 hole, par 71 golf course.
The Laguna Golf Club is located within the Laguna Resort Complex at Bang Tao beach, on the Northwest side of Phuket.
This course opens itself to letting you play safe and strategic golf or give you the temptation to take that shot, by cutting the corner or carrying the water.
I played this course with my son & nephews aged 11, 12 & 14, we organised a discount with the boys being juniors and also staying at the time at the Laguna Allamanda.
They boys had a great time with their friendly caddies and the helpful staff.
We started out with around 25 balls, all was going well until we hit a few water holes with the island green on the 9th taking its toll.
This was only the start as most of the water comes into play on the back nine, by the time we had reached half way into the back nine the boys were searching for lost balls to finish the round.
The challenging 17th hole just about finished the boys off; this monster par 5 of 612 yards is one of the longest in Thailand.
With water coming into play off the tee and with your lay up approach, usually still leaving a long shot into the generous green, an excellent challenge towards the end of a round.
Check the LPGC website as depending on when you visit they offer discounts for guests staying in the Laguna Complex.
At the time of writing a 20% visitor discount was available if booking online.

Mickey Roache
Mickey Roache, who served as police commissioner, city councilor and register of deeds, dies at 82
By adamg - 12/17/18 - 1:21 pm
The Boston Police Department reports the death of Francis "Mickey" Roache, who became a Boston patrolman in 1968 and eventually served as police commissioner between 1985 and 1993. He served as an at-large city councilor between 1996 and 2002, after which he served as Suffolk County Register of Deeds until he retired in 2015.
Suffolk County has a new register of deeds
By adamg - 1/6/16 - 7:56 am
The Suffolk County Registry of Deeds Web site now lists Thomas M. Ryan as "temporary register," rather than longtime Register (and former Boston Police Commissioner) Mickey Roache.
DeannaMae reports Roache retired just before Christmas. Roche also once served as an ay-large city councilor. Hmm, could this be just the job for a recently unseated at-large councilor?
H/t Theszak for noticing that.

Q: Where to securely store Web API credentials in iPhone app? My iPhone app connects to an API that requires credentials to use it. Where can i securely store these credentials? I have them set up as a constants in the implementation file of the class that handles communicating with the API, but I've got a feeling that this may be a security issue and someone may be able to access this.
Thanks

A: The Keychain is appropriate for dynamic credentials (user login/password)
Static credentials such as API/AppKey credentials are inherently insecure, since no matter how you put them in the application, a determined individual can get to them.  The "norm" is to just drop them into the app as #defines and go from there.  Alternatively I suppose you could have them as encrypted defines and decrypt them as needed.  All told, probably not worth the effort in most cases.

N.Y. Body Shop to Pay $400K to Settle Wage Claims
KEYWORDS Bi-County Auto Body settle federal charges Smithtown auto body shop U.S. Labor Department
August 16, 2018—A Smithtown, N.Y., auto body shop has agreed to pay $400,000 in back wages and damages to settle federal charges that it failed to pay 49 current and former employees overtime, the U.S. Labor Department announced Tuesday, reported Newsday.
Bi-County Auto Body has agreed to pay $185,000 in back wages, an equal amount in damages, and $30,000 in civil penalties to settle Labor Department charges that it failed to pay the workers overtime from at least July 2014 through April 2016, according to the report.
The settlement comes after the Labor Department sued the company last summer in U.S. District Court in Central Islip. The consent decree was approved by the court last week.
According to Newsday, complaint said the auto repair shop paid workers straight time in cash for every hour over 40 in a workweek. Federal labor law requires hourly employees to earn one and one-half times their regular hourly rate when they work more than 40 hours a week.
The company "falsified the payroll records in an attempt to cover up the violations," the complaint said. But the body shop kept separate records indicating the actual hours worked and the cash payments made, the complaint said.

This is a great deep dive by one of the masterminds behind WCF RIA Services.
Great! Just what I needed to help me do my RIA Services session for TechEd Brazil 2010!
That is excellent! I was thinking exactly the wrong way. Being able to use POCOs could improve a lot the performance when needed.
We need more videos like this one; we're already way beyond the saturated beginner's series that continue to pop up everywhere.
This is the first video I've seen that takes in consideration that many of us started heavy learning the VS2010 Stack over a year ago..
Good stuff, we need more demos like this one with POCOs and any kind of repository, perhaps a few tips and tricks around update scenarios as well?
But despite this, nHibernate and WCF RIA are a great pair!
The company I develop for uses a third party DAL generator called LLBL Gen, and I was wondering if either of you had some information about how I could incorporate that DAL with WCF RIA services? Thanks in advance guys. Great show!
The nHibernate example, posted here, is a corrupt zip.
could someone please upload a non-corrupt version?
