The State of Food Writing
By Brandy Gonsoulin
In 2009, food blogging, social media and Yelp were gaining popularity, and America's revered gastronomic magazine Gourmet shuttered after 68 years in business. Former Cook's Illustrated editor-in-chief Chris Kimball followed with an editorial, stating that "The shuttering of Gourmet reminds...

The Circle Bells library was recorded with a rare and unique instrument called "Blossom Bells", created by local SF Bay Area metal working artisan Pete Engelhart. This hand-welded tuned percussion instrument features six steel conical bells tuned to different keys and spread out in a fan arrangement. Each bell has a deeply rich, warm and sonorous tone with a long sustain and crystalline clarity.
Soundiron recorded them with soft mallets, hard picks and viola bow with both single-strikes/staccatos and rolls/sustains for each articulation. Its distinctive sound evokes the feel of a steel Marimbaphone or Celeste when played with mallets and a glass armonica when bowed, yet its character and undulating resonance defies any direct comparison to any other instrument.
The bells range in size from 2" to 3 1/2" in diameter and each about 10" long. Each note can sustain for up to 10 seconds or more and carries a deep blend of beautiful overtones. Soundiron recorded each one up close in wide stereo. It's divided into three articulation sections: bows, mallets and picks. They used a viola bow to produce sustains and staccatos and a soft cloth mallet to play single notes and sustaining rolls and a hard pick to play single tapes, scrapes and sustaining effects. All articulations feature extensive round robin variation and deep dynamic velocity layering.
Each articulation is available in a standalone preset or as part of a powerful dual-layer instrument which allows users to shape and blend any two articulationsm each with completely independent controls. Every preset offers a full DSP effects rack, layer blending, tuning and envelope shaping controls. Our advanced ARP system gives you instant adaptive arpeggiation, step-sequencing, scale/chord constraint and auto-roll functionality, with custom preset saving and loading. You'll also find a great selection of ambient and atmospheric FX presets, created by the Soundiron team and veteran sound designer and instrumentalist Steven Tavaglione.
This library is designed for the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.1.0 or later.

Radio Station Pulls 'Baby It's Cold Outside' After Complaints Following #MeToo Movement
CLEVELAND, Ohio (KDKA/CBS Local) — A Cleveland radio station says it has stopped playing the classic holiday song "Baby It's Cold Outside" because of the #MeToo movement.
Star 102.1 posted on their website that listeners complained that the song's lyrics are inappropriate so the station says they made a decision to stop playing the song.
Radio host Glenn Anderson wrote that about the station's decision to pull the song.
"The world we live in is extra sensitive now, and people get easily offended, but in a world where #MeToo has finally given women the voice they deserve, the song has no place," Anderson wrote.
He then posted the entire lyrics to the song, some of which some may find offensive in 2018.
My mother will start to worry – Beautiful, what's your hurry?
Father will be pacing the floor – Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry – Beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more – Put some records on while I pour
The song was written in 1944, Anderson writes, which of course was a different time, but could be construed as manipulative and wrong.

PLACE Urban Design Summer School Day Four | Urban Design & Building Visits
The PLACE Urban Design Summer School is a week long event for 14 - 20 years olds to explore architecture, design, public art, sketching, photography, urban history and more! The week offers the 27 young people registered a chance to learn about the built environment through exciting workshops, fascinating tours and more!
The Summer School is a part of 'out of PLACE' in Ireland's tallest building, The Obel. With support from Karl Group and McConnell Property PLACE are occupying the ground floor with fantastic views over-looking the River Lagan until September. Out of PLACE will also host the 'Secret Laboratories' exhibition and the 'RSUA President's Medal: The Shortlist' exhibition.
Let's see what everyone got up to on day four with a particular focus on Urban Design and some exciting Building Visits...
Day four of the PLACE Urban Design Summer School and the sun was out for one of the hottest days of the year! Perfect for walking around the city to visit the Ulster Museum, Lyric Theatre and Refound. Meeting at the Ulster Museum the Summer School participants gathered for a group shot outside the recently renovated Museum.

Inside Les McLean presented a fascinating insight into the Ulster Museums history and daily life. Les described the three stages of the Museum: The Original, The Extension and The Renovation.

On route to the Lyric Theatre the Summer School passed Friar's Bush Graveyard where Gary Potter explained the significance of the site to Belfast and delved into some of the fascinating history of the site.
Gary Potter leading the group past Friar's Bush to the Lyric Theatre.
Walking along Stranmillis and turning down Ridgeway Street the Summer School arrive at the Lyric Theatre.
The entrance staircase inviting visitors into the Lyric.
The Lyric Theatre began as the Lyric Players in 1951 when a small production took place in the consulting room of Dr Pearse and Mrs Mary O'Malley's house at 117 Lisburn Road. In 1952 a stable loft at the O'Malley's new home was converted into studio space and for the next sixteen years a wide range of cultural activities took place from the small space in Derryvolgie Avenue.
In 1965 Austin Clarke laid the foundation stone for a new £80,000, 350 seat theatre on Ridgeway Street which opened to the public on October 26th 1968. For forty years the Lyric operated out of the 1960's building at the bottom of Ridgeway Street, however the 21st century brought new challenges the building could not cater for.
Did you spot the H & W cranes?
Following an extensive fundraising campaign launched in 2003 to develop a new purpose built theatre building the existing theatre was closed in January 2008. Deemed no longer fit for purpose the building was demolished in June 2008 and construction on a new £18.1m theatre got underway in March 2009. The Lyric continued as a touring theatre company during the three year construction period. The new Lyric Theatre opened on May 1st 2011 with a Gala Performance of 'The Crucible'.
The building invites the natural environment in.
The Lyric Theatre is the result of an RIBA International Design Competition held in May 2003 from which O'Donnell & Tuomey Architects (Dublin) proposal was announced as the winning design. The final design, submitted for planning approval in July 2007, was approved by DoE Planning Service in April 2008. A combination of factors including: the irregular shape and elevation of the site, a corner location and river setting and the surrounding brick street-scapes and green park areas, led to an architectural design that responded to the urban and landscape conditions. The design incorporates a blend of 'Belfast' brick, Iroko wood, glass and steel.
Dominic talks about the Lyric Theatre.
The new Lyric Theatre is almost three times the size of the previous building and provides around 54,164 sq ft of usable space over four floors. A 389 seat auditorium hosts main Lyric stage whilst the 12m by 15m Naughton Studio provides flexible space for between 125 - 170 persons. The Lyric also includes a rehearsal room the same size as the main stage, an education suit, green room, dressing rooms, backstage facilities, box office, cafe/bar and board room.
The Summer School at the Lyric.
The Lyric has won numerous awards including the RIBA, RIAI, Civic Trust, AAI and Liam McCormick Building of the Year Awards 2012.

After a detour to the Crescent Park for lunch on the grass (with sunshine!) the Summer School headed back to the Obel for an Urban Design Workshop with Architect Geoff Sloan who works within the Design Unit of DoE Planning.

To complete another exciting day at the Urban Design Summer School the participants visited Refound at Wellington Place as Jill O'Neill highlighted the growing significance of pop-up shops play in animating our towns. Jill is now creating a permanent home for Refound within the 1830's Georgian building and working to slowly but surely repair the damage caused through dereliction.

It's here ADG GM Mode. What is ADG GM Mode? It is a true way to use WWE 2K's in-game rating system to make a Smackdown Vs. RAW General Manager type of season. Using the in-game rating system and Universe Mode, since GM Mode hasn't been in the game since WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2008, I've made a system that will allow me to have things such as show/brand of the year, match of the week, match of the year and so on. I hope 2K looks at this system to implement in GM Mode along with other ideas and concepts I have for the return of the mode. Anyway, for now I give you ADG GM Mode.
Losing brand at the end of the month/PPV will receive a free SuperStar Acquisition or Legend Signing. SuperStar will come from the other show and will be the first Superstar that isn't holding a title. Legend signing must be a superstar who isn't deceased.

If you were listening to the show this morning, then you would know I'm completely clueless when it comes to NASCAR. CJ tried to teach me the ins and outs, but apparently he doesn't know much either...it's DRAFTING, CJ. Not drifting. Duh. Anyway, I'm still undecided on who I should be cheering for this NASCAR season...


Today, former President Barack Obama, in his now-annual tradition, has gone to his Facebook page to announce his favorite books, films and albums of the year. You can and should read the entire cast here, but we are most interested in Obama's selection of the best films of the year today.
Obama offers no further comment on this list, which only serves to make the whole thing more interesting. Take a minute to consider why Annihilation might be on this list, or Eighth Grade or (ahem) Stalin's death . Take the fact that Obama is a fan of Support The Girls or that he probably sobbed as if we were not going to be my neighbor just like the rest of us , This is a fascinating thing to play a chair psychologist on.
What are you particularly surprised to see here? Anything you see shocked to see of ? Can you imagine that the current president literally saw these films from start to finish? Interpret the tea leaves and let us know what you think in the comments.

UP Home Residents Present a Historical Pageant
Washington, IA (March 15, 2019) – Three UP Home residents have put together a program to retell the history of the United Presbyterian Home through pictures, a skit, interviews and music on Wednesday, March 20th at 2 PM in the Michael Moore Family Dining Room on campus.
UP Home residents Connie Bauer Crane, Dean Garrett and Julia Gamon have put together the program that consists of interviews from previous CEO's Dick Colby and Mike Moore along with a skit from when the UP Home started in 1947. Over twenty residents are involved in the program.
"This is going to be a light hearted look at the past. We wanted to recognize the contributions of those who have made the UP Home such a great place to live." said UP Home Resident Julia Gamon.
The United Presbyterian Home was founded in 1947 as one of four homes in Iowa sponsored by the Synod of Lakes and Prairies of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) for retired men & women. The UP Home has grown from the original building known as Fulton Hall to a robust 35-acre campus that meets the needs of 225 residents and employs over 120 staff members.
Everyone is invited to attend the program and learn about the unique and rich history of the UP Home. After the Pageant, everyone is welcome to stay for refreshments and fellowship.

Learn how to make 20 iOS games this weekend for 20 bones
2016-10-15 12:00:00by Deals Matt

Can it be even cheaper? Yes, it can. You can also get $10 off your order if you refer a friend, so that's like 50 cents a course. Ridic.

Bloomberg's Propaganda Arm 'the Trace' Naming-&-Shaming
Ammoland Inc.https://www.ammoland.com/ Posted on January 25, 2021 January 25, 2021 by Jim Grant
By Larry Keane
Bloomberg's The Trace is all about cancel-culturing 2A supporters on social media. IMG Jim Grant
U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Michael Bloomberg's The Trace is on a campaign to turn gun companies against the leading online voices that speak about the importance of gun rights.
The Trace, which is nothing but a gun control megaphone disguising itself as pseudo-journalism, sent out a "name-and-shame" email last week putting companies on notice. They listed 13 specific firearm personalities with large social media followings. That was followed by leading questions that left little room for doubt what they were really after.
"Has your company reevaluated relationships with any of these creators in light of their political content?"
"Has it considered connections between this content and the political rhetoric on display last week?"
Those weren't questions designed to illicit a thoughtful response. Those are questions that tell the recipient that if they don't dump them and run away fast, they'll trash their company in the media. They accused these social media personalities of spreading conspiracy theories online surrounding the 2020 election and Democratic party. The "reporter" also accused them of overdramatizing the risk of gun confiscation and "fomented fears of election fraud…" The "reporter" topped it off by attempting to tie the violence visited on Capitol Hill to these conspiracy theory allegations.
This isn't journalism. This isn't even advocacy, which at best, is what The Trace is all about. This is corporate intimidation. It's vilifying innocent parties by smearing them with the same accusations used against those who actually committed criminal acts.
Know Your Adversary
Let's start with what The Trace actually is. They bill themselves as "an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit newsroom" that's managed to infiltrate the newsrooms of USA Today, The New Yorker, Slate and The Atlantic. Their independence is hardly true. Guns America Digest dug into their tax records that show 70 percent of their funding comes from Everytown for Gun Safety, the gun control group that's bankrolled by antigun billionaire Michael Bloomberg. In fact, John Feinblatt – the same Feinblatt that heads Everytown for Gun Safety and once served as a senior advisor to Bloomberg when the billionaire was New York City's mayor – is the principal officer listed on tax filings for The Trace.
Claims of editorial "firewalls" are laughable when emails are sent to gun companies telling them with the subtlety of a mob boss that it's in their best interest to "reevaluate" their influencer relationships.
Intellectually Inconsistent
This standard they're holding up to gun companies and social media influencers are intellectually inconsistent. By this line of reasoning, the rioting and looting over the summer should be attributed to every newsroom that whitewashed the violence witnessed during the summer of 2020.
There was plenty of it. MSNBC's Ali Velshi literally told his audience on live television that the situation in Minneapolis was not "generally speaking unruly" even as the city burned behind him. Even more stark, Democrats and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) escaped blame when James T. Hodgkinson, a self-described "Bernie Bro" attacked Republican Members of Congress and left Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) fighting for his life in an armed attack.
Even Congressman Scalise didn't blame Sen. Sanders for this heinous crime. It's intellectually inconsistent to blame the crimes of an individual on another who had no part. Yet, that's exactly what this "reporter" from The Trace is trying to do.
Colion Noir, a Second Amendment advocate, and lawyer wasn't having it. In a video, he blasted the intimidation move.
"The overall goal is to stifle the Second Amendment by limiting the First Amendment," Noir explained. "They are going to do everything in their power to silence voices like me, silence voices like you just saw in that email. That's their goal."
Gun websites are being de-platformed. Facebook is banning ads for gun safes, even after over 8.4 million people bought a gun for the first time in the name of safety during inauguration week. The implication is clear. Gun owners are dangerous and need to be eliminated.
NSSF will continue to stand up. Gun owners across America need to join in.
About The National Shooting Sports Foundation
NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen's organizations, and publishers nationwide.

Oh, I love it, perfect proof that demonrats have shit for brains especially facecrack owner and thief Mark Suckerberg. Let me see here, it's all about gun safety, right? Save the children that is our goal, right? So, we need to stop selling the very thing we are demanding gun owners need by making laws to force gun owners to keep their children safe at home by requiring a gun safe that we are making harder to find and get. Only a demonrat could make sense of that. This proves the end goal is to make laws and then make… Read more »

Add to your list of businesses Mike Lindell, My Pillow. Kohls and Bed, Bath and Beyond will stop selling his product because of his stance on the fraudulent election. I'm going to buy some pillows from him even though I don't need them.
Our household won't be buying anying from those two shitbox stores and I will be sending them an email letting them know.
Everyone needs to get off their ass and do something. Even something as easy as writing an email.
Blackyori
Retards like you are why I bought a gun. Not to protect my family from criminals but to protect from morons like you that would happily attack our capitol because you want to throw a temper tantrum. If you think this election was stolen we better take a closer look at 2016. No way your retard of an orange should have won. When someone like rump gets elected it just shows how fucking stupid MERICA has become. Fucking republitards!

LIBERTY LOVING folks in America have been subjected to oppression for decades and are now engaged in a mostly cold civil war against usurpers like Trace and Bloomberg. The Republican party, one of our two progressive parties has been dead silent to this issue for decades. They exploit the issue come fund raising and vote hustling time but have been largely missing in action on the issue. Like our Cold War with China, most have been asleep on post for decade. Now they are cowed into silence and compliance by mean talk from leftist propaganda mills.
Don't forget to add intimidation with those peaceful protests that are more than propaganda and saying that the vote count was legit which are lies..
Funny how EVERY MASS MURDERER was a democrat! EVERY ONE!
i don't care how much you make with your unsecured web sight. Austa, your no longer on the front page courtesy of someone that worked for a retirement.
I see the ChiCOMS have paid troll's even on these forums. Starting to see it all over the gun pages. I guess if you in your mid-30's and still live at home you need some way to pay for drugs..

It might look like VMware is approaching solution sprawl, but there's some precision and orchestration among its breadth of offerings. Before you head to San Francisco and VMworld 2014, here's a look at the current state of datacenter solutions as VMware sees it.
The future of VMWare Inc., once the disruptive darling of the datacenter, now sits at a crossroads it helped build. Hypervisor x86 virtualization has been the bread and butter of this business, and companies have gladly paid to reap the benefits of consolidation and premium performance in class, but now cloud and "Everything as a Service" are threatening that status.
It's been known for half a decade that VMWare would need to transform to fight the good fight on the cloud front, but will it be able to keep up with so many competitors? Hypervisors, DevOps, orchestration, software-defined network (SDN), storage, bring your own device (BYOD), datacenter automation, cloud, Big Data analytics, Platform as a Service (PaaS), as well as desktop and application streaming are all areas that see VMWare as a leader fending off competitors, or VMware playing a reactive role to new technology.
Before you head to VMworld 2014, it's high time you get a good look at the wide set of solutions that the company offers and where those solutions are headed.
Clearly, the focus of vSphere is moving toward the software-defined datacenter (SDDC). The slow goodbye to older technologies such as classic ESX and the fat vSphere Client will be solidified in the next release. Look to the desktop interface to disappear and the full feature set being supported by the Web client.
vSphere will become less a story of the ESXi hypervisor layered with vCenter management. Instead, VMWare will push harder to bring its customers into the full suites of products. Expect the biggest future features to be in the area of automation and orchestration, feeding the big SDDC picture.
In order to get control of the datacenter, vSphere must control it all. It must control the network and the storage. The SDN saw the VMware/Nicira vision introduced as VMware NSX. The enemy of this concept is Cisco Systems Inc. and its hardware-dependent vision of SDN. VMware will introduce plenty of ways for classic networking companies to interact with NSX, but in the end the control plane will exist in NSX and not the other way around.
In two years, you'll see VMware talk less about interoperability and more about why letting network devices control the network is a bad idea. Today's NSX wants to work with the hardware, but doesn't understand it very well. Expect features that provide end-to-end insight, as well as additional ways to make the networking hardware less relevant, with some of this done through the increasing capabilities of API solutions.
New to VMworld? Attend a new session, "V Welcome Session," scheduled for Aug. 24, 3-4 p.m., which gives you a roadmap to major sessions and events to help plan.
Moscone Center is a complex of buildings that spans several blocks, so wear casual walking shoes and be sure to stay hydrated.
Over the years, much of the information you'll be getting for sessions and from exhibit hall vendors will be available via the cloud or on thumb drives. It behooves you to bring your tablet or smartphone for most information on your sessions and plan your sessions before you get there.
Storage virtualization is at version 1.0 with VMware Virtual SAN (vSAN), but the concept of software being able to abstract what has typically been complex hardware isn't brand new. The "who cares about the hardware?" strategy may rub your SAN vendor the wrong way, but this is the granddaddy strategy that will move all other solutions that the company offers. Without local control over storage, the cloud and scale-out story becomes limited.
Instead, with the storage industry in a shoot-out to decide whether the EMCs of the world or the new flash-based up-and-comers will control the next phase, you see VMware keep the eggs and the basket all for itself. A shared-nothing storage system might seem like a rough pill to swallow as far as availability and flexibility, but VMware will be iterating quickly and pushing the story for adoption. Don't be surprised when vSAN is a requirement for the cloud and for orchestration products that drive SDDC.
The vSAN story will see some definite movement. The company emphasizes ease of deployment and vSAN needs to reduce complexity and it appears one way VMware plans to do this is with an SDDC in a box. It appears to be a move into either hardware, or at least reference hardware, and it's that one-rack solution that may be just what some verticals and smaller IT shops need to get going quickly with SDDC. This hyperconverged approach might be what some shops -- those that find serious controls and limitation in technology when it comes to existing storage and networking, anyway -- need. vSAN still needs some polish and will have to round out some features quickly to really compete here, though. Features such as deduplication, DRS support, as well as specific requirements of SSDs to spinning platters and current issues with specific hardware needs are all areas vSAN will grow into over the next two years.
VMware's Hyperconverged Infrastructure Solution?") might be the best way to show off the technology. It's possibly a competitor to Cisco UCS, but a kinder, more open converged stack, or maybe a competitor to the Nutanixes of the world. We'll see.
vCenter Operations Management Suite (vCOps) and vSphere with Operations Management (vSOM) are two versions of pretty much the same thing. vSOM adds vCOps to the mix in an array of SKUs. The question many used to ask themselves was whether they wanted the added expense to track and manage their virtual environments. Now, everyone knows the necessity, as virtualization becomes more than just consolidation. Third parties have classically been very successful adding a monitoring and management layer on top of vSphere, with newcomers such as CloudPhysics and SumoLogic, still building new companies that continue to slice and dice datacenter data. VMware is aware of the need to get deeper analytics, so expect Log Insight, as part of vCOps suite, to keep Big Data views of your vCenters in-house.
Also, expect the Big Data tech from Log Insight to begin playing a bigger part in the overall delivery of vCOps, with machine learning allowing better predictive analysis, security monitoring, and for that to span across the datacenter outside of vCenter. With vFabric -- for now named vCenter Hyperic -- directly monitoring applications, services, and processes via run books with the various tiers of applications servers, VMware monitoring capabilities continue to push into areas where other monitoring stacks from Microsoft System Center or HP OpenView have been strong. Connecting this capability in the future to the provisioning automation and other automation hooks with vCenter and vCloud mean you'll be able to scale out on demand without even thinking about it. Monitoring won't just be notification -- it will be followed by machine-learned, automated action.
vCloud has a long road to success. Even though enterprises are finally coming around to it, many still feel trepidation in handing over major applications to the cloud, and specifically a single cloud vendor. Because this is VMware's story -- to be the single, integrated cloud infrastructure for business -- vCloud has to continue to iterate to stay above competitors.
At the end of the day, all vCloud efforts in vSphere and vCAC will focus on application provisioning, workload orchestration and financial management.
SDDC in many ways is DevOps with VMware SDDC infrastructure. Everything is programmable: NSX, vSAN, vSphere compute VMs, log analysis and the hybrid cloud. This is where vCenter Orchestrator will become a key driver. Moving enterprises from strict ITIL silos to constantly changing environments means taking what we've learned from companies that built their solutions on Amazon EC2 via constant code changes and DevOps tools like Puppet. Taking enterprise requirements for security, change management, and management from project and business levels will be where VMware can build a tool that will shine. Today the tool focuses on enforcing right-sizing resources and setting the right service levels.
Windows PowerShell, deployment feature, and even Amazon Web Services are all available, but Orchestrator has to permeate throughout the entire datacenter. If the NSX/vSAN story comes together, then you'll definitely see a reason to use Orchestrator for workflow management.
vCenter Hybrid Service (vCHS) is drilling down to specific solutions. The recently announced vCHS disaster recovery boxes up replication into a downloadable appliance. It provides a 15-minute Recovery Point Objective and greatly simplifies the recovery process you would normally need to set up with Site Recovery Manager. VMware is also offering backup with vCHS Data Protection.
Push-button failover is one example where VMware is greatly simplifying delivery. VMware will continue down this road not only to stay a step ahead of Microsoft, but to really show that its integration with cloud doesn't require much translating, scripting and converting. VMware will make it hard for companies that are considering OpenStack and Amazon, which are offering easy solutions that don't necessarily scale to enterprise customizations, but speak to smaller resource-strapped IT departments moving toward cloud. Here, the VMware third-party support is a great addition and should expand quickly.
vCHS is the SDDC for rent. With the current model all based on prepaid subscription licenses, Amazon swooped in to offer a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) plug-in to vSphere with a pay-as-you-go model. VMware will continue to push to meet Amazon at every turn, but a pre-paid model is quite popular in an enterprise that expects to plan budgets a year in advance. In the end, it still has many business types to provide for with different needs, including licensing. VMware will offer a true pay-as-you-go cloud-billing model later in the year. There are still limitations with vCHS, such as issues with Microsoft domain controllers and specifics around supporting authentication. In this iteration, administrators need to be careful what they decide to provision to the cloud, but continued iteration will aim to address these classic on-premises issues.
Whatever You Do at VMworld 2014, Don't Miss These Sessions Virtualization Review contributors pick the sessions they'll be attending at VMworld 2014.
STO3098 – Virtual SAN Best Practices for Monitoring and Troubleshooting: No better way to start with VMware Virtual SAN than by knowing how to monitor and troubleshoot it. One mentor in my career said, "Never engage in something you can't manage or troubleshoot." This session is good if you're interested in VMware Virtual SAN. It's being delivered by Christian Dickmann and Christos Karamanolis from VMware, so you're getting the content right from the source.
STO1279 – Virtual SAN Architecture Deep Dive: If you liked what you saw in the first topic, then this is a natural follow-on. Dickmann and Karamanolis are back for this topic to deliver deep technical content on VMware Virtual SAN. As this is one of the largest and most strategic priorities for VMware, I recommend STO3098 and STO1279 coupled with some Hands-on Lab experience with VMware Virtual SAN so you can come back from VMworld confident in how this technology can apply to your virtualization practice.
STO3008 – Decoupled Storage: Practical Examples of Leveraging Server Flash in a Virtualized Datacenter: Making vSphere storage faster is what's it's all about. Have you seen what PernixData is doing? It can leverage flash to accelerate your I/O and do what we all want: make applications faster. This session has three of the best, Jeff Aaron, Frank Denneman and Satyam Vaghani from PernixData, who share real examples on how you can leverage flash for acceleration. I'm particularly interested in this approach due to the agnostic and flexible way Pernix addresses server flash.
PAR2991 – vCloud Hybrid Service – Upcoming Service Features: vCHS is another strategic priority for VMware but how can you do more than just leverage compute and storage? In this breakout session, Roshni Pary and Rachna Thusoo from VMware show what's coming so you can find out if vCHS is right for you.
I only have these four as a must see for my VMworld list. What intrigues me is that this year is the technologies coming and some that are already out there can make fundamental changes in how you operate your datacenter. How will you change, if at all? That's the question I need to answer myself from this VMworld.
All of the products announced over the past few years, from Project Octopus to the former Horizon (now Workspace), are aimed at simplifying the end-user experience for both the user and IT. It's an exciting time because VMware aims to disrupt established players such as Citrix Systems inc. and new players like Amazon and Google Inc.
Horizon View is integrated into vSphere and offers a single-pane-of-glass-management capability as well as plugs into all of the SDDC features offered by vCenter, such as Orchestrator. In addition, vSAN integration is key, as it attempts to drop the costs of a virtual desktop to PC levels. Mirage is integrated for image management and published applications. The latest additions support multiple pods for scale-out and application publishing a la Citrix XenApp. But with the current release, Horizon View is certainly missing features around application publishing and advanced configurations before it's on par with XenApp. The pod architecture is great, but it's still managed from the command line with Windows PowerShell. In addition, some aren't so happy about profile management as it exists currently. There's justification as to why it shouldn't be there now, and the number of third-party solutions available points to a clear need to improve it if VMware continues to include it in future releases.
The Horizon DaaS platform is aimed at taking desktop virtualization off-premises and turning it into the next application you can consume from the cloud. It's not that different from View, except this time you don't have to worry about random I/O, streaming video, and disk space issues on your servers and SAN.
VMUG: Join Before You Go!
As a lead at the Las Vegas, Nev., chapter of the VMware Users Group, I can attest to the incredible value that VMUGs offer when it comes to educating VMware engineers.
The current VMUG worldwide organization was initiated in August 2010, officially launched in 2012, and membership has grown exponentially since then. VMUGs operate independently of VMware, but they're great resources for customers and partners looking for opportunities to share knowledge, find out about new and updated training, and get alerts on live and virtual events.
One of the side benefits of free membership is discounted and free VMware training and exams. Pearson, the official testing provider for VMware, will be on-site delivering exams during the event.
There are other valuable resources, as well: discounts on VMware Press books and a subscription to "VMUG Voice," the official newsletter.
VMUG Advantage is another level of membership. It's $200, but if you're in pursuit of your VMware certification, that fee is easily absorbed by the bigger discounts on training and exams. The best part is, you get $100 off the VMworld 2014 registration -- it's why you want to upgrade to this membership level well before you decide to head to San Francisco.
I had the opportunity this year to review and vote on all proposed VMWorld 2014 content as part of the committee. Our committee voting allowed the Session Track owners to select the breakout sessions that will be presented. The process to narrow them down was painstaking -- there were so many gems among the gems.
Aiming right for Citrix, Horizon DaaS supports persistent, non-persistent and shared desktops, as well as application publishing. After introducing the flashy features, the behind-the-scenes issues will need to be addressed. Enterprises often have heavy auditing systems for internal systems, Group Policies and other peculiars on a new platform. Of course, support for new OSes will need to be baked in, and if Microsoft starts moving more quickly introducing new features into its OSes, VMware will have to deal with that, too.
VMware really, really wants you to use Workspace as the portal for user access to all of your applications, but there seems to be a growing list of checkboxes for modern workers that carry around iPads to coffee shops. The key here is, support more applications from the Oracles to the Google Apps, and continue to refine the interface.
The big newcomer is AirWatch LLC, a leading enterprise mobile management solution that's now part of the VMware family. Although VMware removed pieces that didn't fit (like Zimbra), the AirWatch acquisition is an exciting one that definitely fits into the future of Horizon. Even if a company already has a mobile management product, the integration of AirWatch with Horizon is too good to ignore, because at some point they'll be integrated and be capable of controlling every aspect of the system, from the server to the network, out to all of the end points.
I hope everyone enjoys the show and I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible.
With a clear vision on what it wants to deliver -- SDDC, cloud and end-user computing solutions -- VMware is continuing to innovate in software infrastructure. Those holding lots of hardware inventory might become the extinct dinosaurs without a way to differentiate.
At VMworld 2014, you're likely to hear about major improvements on the horizon for the newest technologies for SDDC, vSAN and NSX in short order. With AirWatch, the end-user experience will be well managed, and add with it end-to-end management of VDI. The cloud not only continues to be integrated into and across VMware tools, the company is also building specific, easy-to-deploy solutions and putting desktops right in the cloud. That's only the beginning of a great VMware solutions pipeline that is taking over your infrastructure and moving the SDDC from bullet points to reality.

Although not a fan yet of Facebook's execution, we proved at Badoo that their is an amazing business model in giving people more power at a micropayment ($38 is a bit high probably) price. I think Twitter should be looking at this and executing quickly, as it makes even more sense for them.
Facebook's future as a company is more in its social graph laid over the rest of the internet, but as for monetizing facebook.com and mobile, I think this is a step in the right direction.
I did a similar experiment a few weeks ago, for the same reasons. In my case cost was around 7$ so Facebook must be "ranking" user by reach.
So, using extrapolation of Bruno's results… 1% increment per dollar. Ha ha.


Last year Blair told the Institute for Government that he wasted much of his first term because of "squabbling and inertia" and that he regretted not taking on the task of reforming the public sector, a decision that directly led to the unsustainable mess we are in today. The unions will always have a Labour leader by the balls.
After he was elected last year Dave said "I would rather have five reforming years as Prime Minister than ten wasted years like Blair." That dream seems a little lofty today after surrendering to the very same vested interests, squabbling and inertia that crippled his hero, in just over a year. The GP-led commissioning at the centre of the plan to save the NHS has been filleted and PCT's look set to be replaced with equally bureaucratic and expensive "clinically led commissions". To be radical is to be brave, but it seems Cameron is neither when it comes to the NHS.

Josh Miller '12 Completes Work in White House Digital Role
By E.B. Boyd '89
Josh Miller '12
Kelly Smart
When Josh Miller '12 decided to take an indefinite leave of absence from Princeton just as his senior year was kicking off, it didn't seem like a bright idea. He had an idea for a startup, but he was a sociology major with little experience in tech, he had no funding, and he barely knew his cofounders.
Five years and three jobs later, Miller just finished up a gig in Washington, D.C., as the White House's first-ever director of product, where he was tasked with figuring out how to leverage technology to help everyday people get involved in policy issues close to President Barack Obama's heart.
Miller teamed up with Kickstarter to raise money for Syrian refugees. He partnered with Uber to let customers donate rides to recently homeless veterans. He even figured out how to rejigger manufacturing and distribution supply chains to dramatically cut the cost of diapers for poor families.
"Anyone who's ever known me will tell you I was never going to succeed in a strictly academic setting," says Miller, who found fulfillment at Princeton less in grades than in extracurriculars like organizing a set of sold-out concerts that raised money for charity. "But I've always had this ability to create projects out of nothing and get people excited about them."
The Office of Digital Strategy, where Miller worked, pushed the former president's use of tech beyond simply using social media to communicate with citizens. Instead, he says, the goal was to find new ways to use the Internet to "mobilize the passions of the American people" in order to affect change on civic issues.
"We raised a million dollars on Kickstarter in just a few hours," Miller says. "It made me realize the convening power of the White House."
Miller left Princeton to create Branch, a software platform for online conversations. Three years later, the company was acquired by Facebook, which took on Miller as a product manager to tinker on experimental projects. He joined the White House in 2014 at the request of another Princeton alumnus, former Twitter executive Jason Goldman '99, who knew Miller from his startup days and who was heading up the digital strategy office.
Miller has been interested in helping people create and leverage networks ever since a light bulb went off in Professor Stanley Katz's Woodrow Wilson School course on civil society and public policy. It was there he heard a guest lecturer, Bowling Alone author Robert Putnam, talk about "social capital."
Miller attended a large, diverse public high school in Los Angeles. Curious about why so few minority students ended up in AP classes, Miller produced a documentary on the racial aspects of student tracking in his public school system. (The film later earned him a Princeton Prize in Race Relations.) Miller arrived at the University not knowing what a "Choate" or an "Andover" was, but he quickly started puzzling over how institutions and relationships opened doors for some but not others.
Putnam's ideas about social capital "explained more about the world than anything else I'd learned to date," Miller says. He was inspired by Putnam's call to find ways to make "weak" ties into "strong" ones. "To this day, I think about that more than anything else," he says.
At the White House, Miller's proudest moment was figuring out that if you modified the packaging on diapers and allowed nonprofit organizations to order them in bulk, costs would plummet for poor families. One in three poor families have to reuse diapers because they can't afford the prices at neighborhood stores, and they don't have access to online or big box retailers, which often offer discounts.
"People in technology talk about working on big-scale problems," Miller says. But because there are so many white men in the industry, he explained, many possibilities never cross their radar. "The White House experience taught me about problems that are not mine."
As a political appointee, Miller's tenure ended with the president's. With a network of his own now full of high-powered players, not just in Washington but also among the tech glitterati (BuzzFeed's Jonah Peretti and Twitter founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone were early Branch supporters), Miller could write his own ticket. After six years of cranking in tech and politics, however, he first wants to take some time off. He's even thought about eventually returning to Princeton to finish his degree. "After being out in the world of work, having six months to write a thesis sounds awesome," he says.

Louisiana arson suspect expressed disgust with Baptist churches on Facebook
Posted 8:58 pm, April 12, 2019, by CNN Wires
Four days before his arrest in connection with the three Louisiana Baptist church fires, Holden Matthews expressed disgust with Baptist beliefs on Facebook, CNN has learned.
Responding to a post about "afrikan spirituality," Matthews, posting under the name Noctis Matthews, said he cannot "stand all these baptists around here, bunch of brainwashed people trying to find happiness in a religion that was forced on their ancestors just as it was on mine."
In the posting, Matthews said he wished that, "more blacks [sic] people would look into ancient beliefs of pre Christian Africa."
An acquaintance, Nygyl Bryyn, confirmed to CNN the profile and alias is that of Holden Matthews. He says his friend is not racist and believes the churches were, "victims of circumstances."
All three churches authorities say Matthews burned down were black Baptist churches in the heart of south central Louisiana's Cajun and Creole country.
The suspect is the 21-year-old son of a St. Landry Parish sheriff's deputy and may have been influenced by "black metal" music and its "associated history with church burnings," the state fire marshal's office said.
CNN reached out to Matthews' lawyer and the prosecutor's office but have not yet received a response. When CNN asked authorities if they were aware of the posting, they said because the investigation was ongoing they would not detail any particular leads they are following.
While the motive is still under investigation, authorities said that Matthews' interest in black metal music may have influenced his behavior.
Black metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that typically takes on anti-Christian, satanic and pagan themes.
The black metal songs typically have a fast tempo and feature shrieking vocals, heavily distorted guitars and unconventional song structures.
A song from the suspect's band, Pagan Carnage, referenced church burnings.
The day after police say Matthews burned down St. Mary Baptist Church in Port Barre, a video was posted on his band's YouTube page of his song, "Diabolical Soul Feast."
"The holy church is now destroyed," Matthews screams in the final lyrics of the song. "Burning down in Odin's name."
Bryyn says that Matthews writes and performs the song.
The motive for the fires is still under investigation, and federal officials are looking into whether a hate crime was committed. Matthews is charged with three counts of simple arson on a religious building.
Greater Union was among three historically black churches in rural St. Landry Parish, west of Baton Rouge, that police said were intentionally torched over a 10-day span.
St. Mary Baptist Church in Port Barre, located about six miles southeast of Greater Union, burned first on March 26. Greater Union Baptist was set ablaze on April 2. Mount Pleasant Baptist Church burned on April 4.

Five hundred cows, two luxury cars, $10,000, two bikes, a boat and a few cell phones made up the final price in a heated bidding war for a child bride in South Sudan that went viral after the auction was pointed out on Facebook. It is the largest dowry ever paid in the civil war-torn country, the government said.
Earlier this month, Nyalong became the man's ninth wife. Photos posted on Facebook show her sitting beside the groom, wearing a lavish dress and staring despondently at the floor. The AP is using only her first name to protect her identity. The groom did not respond to requests for comment.
South Sudan has a deeply rooted cultural practice of paying dowries for brides, usually in the form of cows. It also has a long history of child marriage. Even though that practice is now illegal, 40 percent of girls still marry before age 18, according to the United Nations Population Fund. The practice "threatens girls' lives" and limits prospects for their future, said Dr. Mary Otieno, the agency's country representative.

West Lindsey district councillors have voted to remove the role of chief executive and create a new management structure at the authority.
The council has been without a chief executive since Manjeet Gill stepped down from the position in the summer of 2017, after seven years at the helm.
Councillors voted to appoint three executive directors to lead the council at a meeting on Monday, January 22.
Mark Sturgess, who was been appointed executive director of operations, now holds the post of head of paid service.
Ian Knowles has been appointed to the position of executive director of resources, and holds the statutory role of section 151 officer, making him responsible for the authority's financial affairs.
Eve Fawcett-Moralee, executive director of economic and commercial growth, will lead the delivery of the council's growth agenda.
West Lindsey District Council has said that this move will save the authority money.
Council leader Jeff Summers said: "The council is adopting a progressive approach to the way it works and our leadership team has led us to become an 'Enabling Council'. Our partnerships are key to our success.


During the Sui dynasty, the Chinese Imperial name for Japan was Nihon which literally means 'sun origin'. It is because when it comes to direction, we all know that the sun rises on the east and Japan is on the east of China. So if you are in China, the sun literally rises from this country.
During the winter, most people just want to stay in front of their fire place and be cozy until the season ends, but for some, winter is time for adventures and food that you can only taste during this season. And so, if you're not satisfied with how cold the weather is in your country, or you're just brave to experience a very chilling 2°C-10°C weather, welcome to Japan.
If you really want to go outdoors and enjoy the feeling of snow and the cold breeze of air damping on your skin, you could go try winter sports. Hokkaido, a province in Japan, is well known for their ski resorts where you could get your adrenaline rush. Meanwhile, if you just want to walk around and take pictures while feeling the ideal powdery texture of snow, you could visit Sapporo (another province in Japan) as it transforms to a winter wonderland for the Snow Festival.
But if you want to feel at peace and relaxed, there are hot springs where you could take your time and feel the warm water flow on your skin. Along with this, Japan also offers Winter Specialties. Combinis (Konbini) opens up and offers hot and delicious oden, a healthy and filling snack made from soy-braised vegetables, meat, and tofu products. Hot pots and hot sake are also more enjoyable during this season.
Fukubukuro or lucky bags usually go on sale during this month. Fukubukuro is a Japanese New Year customs in which merchants fall in line to grab a bag filled with unknown random contents.
One more thing that you can enjoy in this country is kotatsu. Since Japan could be freezing cold during the winter season, kotatsu had been Japan's solution. It is a low table with a thick quilt with a heater underneath the top that could make you feel warm while enjoying your food.
There's still a lot of things to enjoy when you visit Japan. Just make sure to prepare yourself for the very cold weather by bringing the right wardrobe, bring thick coats, gloves, boots and anything that could keep you warm while having the best time in Japan.


Members of the Anchorage Police Department Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit walk up Vasili Drive in Eagle River Thursday following a standoff with what was believed to be an armed man inside his nearby home. Police spokeswoman Anita Shell said the 39-year-old man was found dead inside the home of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Neighborhood streets were shut down for about four hours while officers tried in vain to contact the man.
A standoff in a quiet Eagle River neighborhood ended in tragedy Thursday afternoon when police discovered a 39-year-old man dead inside his Powder Ridge home of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
According to police spokeswoman Anita Shell, officers arrived at the home on Theodore Drive at around 10:30 a.m. Thursday. Shell said the man's wife called police and said her husband had been sending her "goodbye" text messages while she was at work. More than 20 officers surrounded the family's home, including the department's Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) and K-9 units. Police shut down parts of Theodore Drive, Vasili Drive and Eklutna Park Drive (which runs parallel to Theodore Drive) for several hours while officers tried to negotiate with the man, who was believed to be holed up inside. Shell said seven homes in the area were also evacuated during the incident.
Shell said the man was known to have access to several guns inside the home.
At around 1:30 p.m., police used a loudspeaker to call out to the man, asking him to let them know he was OK.
"Please answer the phone. Even if you don't want to come out, answer the phone," said a police negotiator.
After getting no response to their repeaded attempts to make contact with the man, Shell said police used the home's garage door opener (obtained from the man's wife) to gain entry to the home at around 2 p.m.
Once inside, Shell said officers determined the man had shot himself in the head.
Shell said the man's next of kin have been notified.

The full results were not posted on the county website until after 1:30 a.m. Thomas could not be reached for comment. Two hours earlier, with 78 percent of the precincts reporting and a similar margin, the mayor would not concede.
He said he would be monitoring the count until all the votes were tallied but he expressed pride in what he had accomplished as mayor so far and hoped that it would continue no matter who was elected.
Patterson-Howard texted that she was not prepared to declare victory as there were still absentee ballots to be counted.
'Amazingly humbling'
Earlier she said she was "cautiously optimistic" that her team would soon be celebrating a mayoral victory — and the crowd of her supporters at Luciadas, a restaurant across from City Hall, was calling her "Madame Mayor" and chanting, "It's Time," one of her campaign slogans.
She thanked her family, campaign staff and all those who invested not just in her but "in the future of Mount Vernon."
"It's been amazingly humbling," she said. "I have to say that it's been humbling because going through the community and just talking to people and hearing their hopes, their dreams, their frustrations and their fears but then understanding the confidence that people were willing to put in me when they just met me."
PRIMARY RESULTS:Latest vote totals
5 TAKEAWAYS:Primary elections
Councilwoman Delia Farquharson waged a write-in campaign and was believed to have finished fifth, although write-in votes will only be formally counted in a few weeks.
Democrats hold an overwhelming majority among registered voters in the city of 68,000 and the primary winner is all but assured success in the general election. Wallace will still be on the November ballot, running on the Republican line. The Conservative candidate will be Rosemarie Jarosz.
Although it was a fiercely contested primary, turnout appeared to be slightly less than in the 2015 primary, not quite 25 percent of the city's enrolled Democrats. Its unclear whether that was a result of primaries being moved this year from September to late June.
In the seven-candidate Democratic primary for two seats on the City Council, incumbent Lisa Copeland won handily and Derrick Thompson appeared to win the second seat with 34 more votes than former Councilman J. Yuhanna Edwards. Joyce Brown, Danielle Scholar, Jamie Pessin and Hope Marable finished out of the running.
Thomas was trying to overcome facing trial in two weeks on charges that he stole money from his 2015 mayoral campaign. And although not charged, he was dogged by a grand jury probe into water department funds that went to some of his criminal defense lawyers. The city's lawyer, Corporation Counsel Lawrence Porcari, was indicted on corruption charges, accused of steering $365,000 from the water department to the mayor's lawyers and a public relations firm.
The mayor proclaimed his innocence and vigorously maintained that the criminal charges were politically motivated. Despite three years battling obstruction from the City Council and both comptrollers who held that office, he insisted he still managed to move the city forward, pointing to reduced crime, higher property values, a streamlined buildings department and enhanced recreation and senior programs.
But other than a barbecue last year and Saturday's fireworks, he could not return Memorial Field to the people after a decade of disuse. While he got the grandstands torn down, he could not complete the removal of contaminated dirt that was dumped there before he took office and he remains embroiled in a lawsuit over his administration's dismantling of the bubble that forced the closure of the tennis center.
Tools to end the dysfunction
Patterson-Howard, 51, is the president and CEO of the Yonkers YMCA and formerly ran the Mount Vernon YMCA. She left the Yonkers Y in 2016 to run the planning department and the Urban Renewal Agency in Thomas' administration, but was ousted in early 2017.
She cited her family's deep roots in Mount Vernon – her grandfather was the first African American employee in City Hall – as one of the catalysts that made her run. She said that as a consensus builder and business executive she had the tools to end the dysfunction that has plagued City Hall in recent years.
Wallace did not run for a second term on the council, setting his sights on the city's top elected position instead. He had been a running mate of Thomas' during the 2015 primary, but by the time the mayor took office they were bitterly at odds. He was the driving force in legal action the council took against the mayor. During his time in office, he won a contract dispute with the city over his construction company's never-completed work on an emergency operations center.
Wallace had the late endorsement of former Mayor Ernie Davis, who had tried to run for a fifth term in office but his nominating petitions were invalidated. Wallace was tarnished by a late, anonymous campaign mailer that identified him as a Republican.
Isley, 78, had been absent from city politics for a quarter of a century until returning two years ago in a failed bid for City Council. He ran for mayor in the 1990s after he had served as police commissioner. He was later an administrator at Hostos Community College and a deputy commissioner of the Westchester Department of Corrections.
He was endorsed by district leaders at a party convention in February, though this marks the fourth straight mayoral primary that the establishment candidate failed to win. He also had the backing of County Executive George Latimer, county Legislator Lyndon Williams, state Assemblyman Gary Pretlow, former Mayor Clinton Young and former Comptroller Maureen Walker.
Isley conceded defeat at Democratic party headquarters and congratulated Patterson-Howard as the "apparent winner."
She would not be the city's first female mayor. In 1984, when Mayor Thomas Sharpe died, Council President Carmella Iaboni became the acting mayor. But Iaboni did not get her party's endorsement for the special election and Ronald Blackwood became the city's first elected black mayor.

Q: How to handle errors in websocket in jest end to end test? I have one file which runs server on start. And there is one function to upgrade the connection based on some checks of the request.
//A.ts
export abstract class A{
    protected _server: http.Server;
    protected _wss: WebSocket.Server;
    constructor(){
      this._wss = new WebSocket.Server({ noServer: true });
    }
    async start(port: number) {

    private async startServer(port: number) {
      this._server.listen(port, () => {
          Logger.log(`Server started on port ` + port);
      });
    }

private async startUpgardeListener() {
    this._server.on("upgrade", async (request: http.IncomingMessage, clientSocket, head: Buffer) => {
        return await this.upgradeHandler(request, clientSocket as Socket, head);
    });
}

private async startWsConnectionListener() {
    this._wss.on('connection', async (clientWebSocket: WebSocket, request: http.IncomingMessage) => {
        return await this.connectionHandler(clientWebSocket, request);
    });
}

protected abstract upgradeHandler(request: http.IncomingMessage, clientSocket: Socket, head: Buffer): Promise<void>;

protected abstract connectionHandler(clientWebSocket: WebSocket, request: http.IncomingMessage): void;
}

//B.ts
export class FESProxy extends Proxy {

  }
  catch(e){
     resource = this.cleanup(clientTcpSocket, resource);
  }
}

private async create(resource){
  resource = await this._c.createResource(resource);
  if(resource.status === 400)
  {
    error = new Error(400);
    throw error;
  }
  return true;
}

private initHandlers(resource: Resource, clientTcpSocket: Socket) {
    this.initOnClose(clientTcpSocket, resource);
    this.initOnError(clientTcpSocket, resource);
}

private initOnClose(clientTcpSocket: Socket, resource: Resource | undefined) {
    clientTcpSocket.on('close', (err) => {
        console.log(`Client TCP Socket Close Handler`);
        resource = this.cleanup(clientTcpSocket, resource);

        Logger.error(`Client TCP Socket Error Handler);
        resource = this.cleanup(clientTcpSocket, resource);
    });
    return resource;
}
}

// B.spec.ts
let b : B;
let wb : WebSocket;
let workerServer : WebSocketServer;

describe("B test", () => {

beforeEach(async () => {
    b = new B();
    await b.start(3000);
})

afterEach(async () => {
    wb.close();
    workerServer.close();
    b["_server"]?.close(()=>{});
});
it("Should handle 400 error in create call", async () => {

    let uri = 'ws://localhost:3000/ws';

    wb = new WebSocket(uri);

    wb.on('message',(e) =>{
        console.log("Message in the socket ",e);
    })
    expect(spiedOncreate).toBeCalledTimes(1);
})
})

On running the test, I am getting this message
Expected number of calls: 1
Received number of calls: 0
Although I checked that catch block was called in the upgradeHandler method of B class with the status code of resource as 400. Which means that the createResource was called and with the status 400 which I set in the test only.
I also found that on error handler of websocket inside the test got triggered and got the message in the console
Error: Unexpected server response: 400
I am not able to see any other console logs if I put after assertion statement in the test. I guess my test is getting crashed and the error is not handled but not sure here. I added handlers in the test for websockets but still not working.
What am I missing or doing wrong to assert on the spyOn as I am not receiving the expected number of calls?
