The main thing of note in this update set is everything.
There's nearly 8000 updated packages.
Oh, kernel 4.19 is here too.
This post has a full difference to x32-stable, updates will be posted below as they occur.
Is x32-testing ready to be moved to x32-stable?
This will inform the snap process; there is no set threshold.
Please vote on the "is it ready yet?" poll but only when you feel this set is tested enough, and has a sufficient number of changes compared to x32-stable. Do keep in mind that x32-stable updates should be less frequent than x32-testing so not every testing update set should need to be moved over.
KDE is mainly broken due to a mix of package builds. There are a number of KDE packages currently in arch32 staging which are needed to allow other KDE things to work and be built.
If you're on KDE, stay on x32-stable for the moment.
Manjaro Settings Manager is broken pending a rebuild on the KDE packages. It is preventing an update to icu=63, so remove MSM for the moment. MSM is fixed (for now?).

Have you all packages synced to testing branch. Maybe it's too early to upgrade ?
Oct manjaro32-vm systemd-coredump: Process 545 (sddm-greeter) of user 989 dumped core.
sddm need a rebuild against latest arch32 qt5 build?
or is this a qt5 library mismatch … qt5-base out of sync with qt5-delcarative?
Whatever the actual issue, it is a bit of a mess.
Cinnamon DE, adobeflash, palemoon, etc - uneventful update, though long.
Back in the deep end… I only saw firefox new local than in repo…so… & no 's!
Also LibreOffice fresh does not start because the boost-libs are at 1.68 but LibreOffice is still built against 1.67.
even with the older boost-libs 1.67 libreoffice-fresh does not start.
I've switched boost to 1.68 in x32-unstable, could you change branches to see if it helps?
So, is LibreOffice working or not?
I'm currently on the x32-unstable branch.
Can you please post the output when starting LibreOffice with boost and boost-libs 1.68?

Cyber Ranges and the European Cybersecurity Competence Network
Tuesday, 24 September, 2019 - 00:00
Cyber ranges, threat intelligence, certification and standards, and skills and capacity building are all topics of central importance to four recently launched pilot projects which will work in close coordination to develop the European Cybersecurity Competence Network.
Incorporating a European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre and a Network of National Cybersecurity Coordination Centres, the network was proposed by the European Commission and will be fully established by 2021.
This article introduces the pilot projects and examines how each will address the topic of cyber ranges as a means of strengthening cybersecurity capacity in the European Digital Single Market.
Of the cyber ranges already in existence within the European market, many are broad in scope while others are very specific, focusing on one field only. ECHO (European network of cybersecurity centres and competence hub for innovation and operations) will create a marketplace of available ranges and promote their services to third parties via a Federated Cyber Range Portal (FCR).
As a cyber range broker, FCR will offer companies and cyber security specialists access to unique technologies and to virtual emulations of sector specific scenarios, thus enabling the development and demonstration of technology roadmaps, and the delivery of specific cyberskills training curricula.
Cybersec4Europe
The Cybersec4Europe consortium numbers forty-three partners including key players in cybersecurity competence and excellence in Europe who bring together research expertise and experience matured in over one hundred cybersecurity projects.
The consortium is building a lightweight cyber range as a prototype of the common portable virtual lab. The lab will facilitate the actual deployment of opensource tools, and support hands-on learning with gamification features, sample training materials, and guidelines for developers such as documentation, user interface, testing data, and APIs.
With a view to achieving better automated and custom-tailored training that corresponds to the actual and evolving cyber threat landscape, CONCORDIA is developing a directory of cybersecurity training facilities and cyber ranges across Europe, and enriching it with tools enabling different cyber ranges to share scenarios and scoring methods.
CONCORDIA will also formulate best practice guidelines for implementing and hosting cyber ranges, taking into account realistic simulation of network architecture and traffic composition, and the automation of adversary behavior to enable training session reproduceability. The weights of scoring components will be developed and continuously improved as scenarios evolve.
Positioned at the intersection of scientific excellence, technological innovation, and societal sciences in cybersecurity, SPARTA (Strategic Programs for Advanced Research and Technology in Europe) aims to foster the emergence of a thriving and responsible research and innovation model or roadmap which leverages Europe's strengths and opportunities, across multiple disciplines, maturity levels, and geographical locations.
As regards cyber ranges specifically, the partners will categorise European cyber ranges in terms of their ability to handle the complexity of cybersecurity threats. They will also develop methods and solutions for predicting cyber threats in the early attack phase, and for exchanging threat intelligence information with respect to the GDPR.

Ready or not, here it comes! 2019 is almost here, is your business on the line? You still have some time to make resolutions for the new year. There are a few that stick out that you may want to consider first in order to make your 2019 your most successful year yet! Of course, you can look at areas of your business that may be struggling. Perhaps sales are dropping the ball, or marketing isn't bringing in leads, or maybe dispatch isn't triaging tickets correctly. Obviously, these things need to be addressed first. However, if your business is in a pretty good spot, consider some of these to get a little extra boost.
Are you networking? Whether it is within the community, like joining the chamber of commerce meetings or local peer groups, it's highly recommended to be a part of these things. Businesses that support one another are more likely to be successful. Also, it increases favorability and future customers, in fact, you never know what kind of referrals you may gain. Also, things like this allow you to swap ideas and discover opportunities within your community. Another benefit is being ahead of the game when it comes to local economic trends and policies. Try to find time to attend some of the local events surrounding you. On top of that, you can always join a peer group of similar businesses. This could be locally, or even a Facebook group that you engage with. Once again this can help you with ideas as well as assist in growth and knowledge. It is nice to be able to network with similar business, especially as a busy CEO.
Next is vendor management. Are you effectively managing your vendors? Are you successfully partnering with them? Vendors can be a backbone to any successful business. Especially if they can assist you in strategizing. Realistically, they are the expert in their product and their knowledge can be beneficial to your business. If you aren't strategizing with them, pick your top 5 vendor relationships and start doing it. By including them on a strategy session they will be more inclined to help, especially when they acknowledge that it can be beneficial for them as well. Then, of course, all of this is for not, if your vendor management is unorganized. By streamlining this, your business will run smoother, to begin with.
Connect with your current and potential clients. Start by surveying your current clients. This bit of market research can be helpful in the new year and also capture the interest of future prospects. Interests and opinions can change over the year, so keeping in touch with the wants and needs of your current client base is important for growth. With that being said, connect with your clients on LinkedIn. Social media is a powerful tool that will keep you connected and knowledgeable of what's on your client's mind. By doing this you can start to see other connections as well. You never know, future clients could be all over LinkedIn.
By taking advantage of these three things, you will see a difference in your business. These items seem like extra work, but they are worth it in the long run. Make 2019 your year! Get out there and mingle with your community, vendors, and clients.

<< Back The Guardians by John Grisham
9781473684430 Hodder
He was framed for murder. Now he needs a miracle. 22 years ago Quincy Miller was sentenced to life without parole.
He was accused of killing Keith Russo, a lawyer in a small Florida town. But there were no reliable witnesses and little motive. Just the fact that Russo had botched Quincy's divorce case, that Quincy was black in a largely all-white town and that a blood-splattered torch was found in the boot of Quincy's car.
A torch he swore was planted. A torch that was conveniently destroyed in a fire just before his trial. The lack of evidence made no difference to judge or jury.
In the eyes of the law Quincy was guilty and, no matter how often he protested his innocence, his punishment was life in prison. Finally, after 22 years, comes Quincy's one and only chance of freedom. An innocence lawyer and minister, Cullen Post, takes on his case.
Post has exonerated eight men in the last ten years. He intends to make Quincy the next. But there were powerful and ruthless people behind Russo's murder.
They prefer that an innocent man dies in jail rather than one of them. There's one way to guarantee that. They killed one lawyer 22 years ago, and they'll kill another without a second thought.

NEW YORK, 19 July 2018 – The Sendai Framework Monitor received a ringing endorsement at the High Level Political Forum (HLPF) for Sustainable Development which concluded this week.
The online tool, launched in March by UNISDR, benchmarks progress on reducing disaster losses and meeting the seven targets of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the global plan adopted in 2015 by UN Member States.
In a statement to the HLPF, the 31 Member States comprising the Group of Friends for Disaster Risk Reduction, described it as: "An invaluable early-warning tool to detect whether development programs and economic strategies are being implemented in a risk-informed manner.
The Sendai Framework Monitor contributed to the 46 national reviews submitted to the HLPF, as the 38 indicators for measuring progress on implementing the Sendai Framework's seven targets also double as indicators measuring progress on key SDGs notably SDG1, eradicating poverty, SDG11, sustainable cities and communities, and SDG13, climate action.
The statement was delivered by Ambassador Francisco Tenya, the Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN from Peru which co-chairs the Group of Friends along with Australia, Indonesia and Norway.
Ambassador Tenya also urged all countries to prioritize the achievement of Sendai Framework target (e) which seeks to substantially increase the number of counties with national and local disaster risk reduction strategies by 2020, and to focus on raising money on disaster prevention, mitigation and preparedness.
"The next step would be to turn strategies into action; and innovative solutions are needed to finance disaster risk reduction.".
In his closing statement yesterday to the eight-day HPLF, the Secretary-General recognized again the importance of resilience to achievement of the Global Goals.
"For the first time in a decade, the number of people who are undernourished has increased, mainly due to conflict, drought and disasters linked to climate change.

Taiwanese singer Show Luo announced that he plans to open a dessert shop after the Lunar New Year. This is not his first time dabbling in entrepreneurship, having launched his own fashion line STAGE in 2006.
He has already been discussing with a patisserie friend. Good friend Jolin Tsai is also said to be skilled in baking, and Show jokingly said he would invite her to be a guest chef.
The popular 100% Entertainment host also said that he had also purchased 500 copies of Ou Han Sheng's new album, in response to previous rumours that he had fallen out with his former partner of the duo Romeo. Both also turned up at each other's TV programmes to break the ice.
However, Han Sheng's music style was said to be a little too similar to that of Show's three years ago. When queried about this, Show replied that he did not mind, and requested everyone not to sow discord between them.

Reintroduction of Old Pension Scheme – Minister answers Lok Sabha Question
Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in General, Pension
NPS, pension
The Central as well as state government employees' organisations are demanding that the PFRDA should be annulled, NPS (New Pension Scheme) dropped and that the old defined benefit pension should be restored. They have called for a strike on 15th November, on demands including the above. The pension through NPS will be far less than the defined benefit pension and even is not fully assured. But the government is sticking for NPS. The reply in the Parliament shows the government's defence of the indefensible. We fully support the demand of the central/state government employees for restoration of the old defined benefit pension scheme.
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES
UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 4075
TO BE ANSWERED ON AUGUST 10, 2018/SHRAVANA 19, 1940 (SAKA)
REINTRODUCTION OF OLD PENSION SCHEME
Shri Rakesh Singh
Will the Minister of FINANCE be pleased to state:
the details of drawbacks of the New Pension Scheme (NPS) introduced for the Government officials; whether the NPS is not as beneficial monetarily as the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) and if so, the details thereof; whether the Government employees are disgruntled with the NPS and if so, the details thereof; and whether the Government proposes to reintroduce the OPS replacing the NPS, if so, the details thereof and the action taken by the Government in this regard?
The Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance
(Shri Shiv Pratap Shulda)
(a) & (b) National Pension System (NPS) has been designed giving utmost importance to the welfare of the subscribers. Government has made a conscious move to shift from the defined benefit pension scheme to defined contribution pension scheme i.e. NPS, due to rising and unsustainable pension bill. There are a number of benefits available to the employees under NPS. Some of the benefits are enlisted below:
§ NPS is a well designed pension system managed through an unbundled architecture involving intermediaries appointed by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) viz. pension funds, custodian, central record keeping and accounting agency, National Pension System Trust, trustee bank, points of presence and Annuity service providers. It is prudently regulated by PFRDA which is a statutory regulatory body established to promote old age income security and to protect the interest of subscribers of NPS.
§ The pension wealth which accumulates over a period of time till retirement grows with a compounding effect. The all-in-costs of the institutional architecture of NPS are among the lowest in the world.
§ Contribution made to the NPS Tier-I account is eligible for tax deduction under the Income Tax Act, 1961. An additional tax rebate of Rs.50000 is also allowed for contributions made to NPS Tier-I under Section 80CCD (1B) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
§ Subscribers can withdraw up to 25% of their own contributions before attaining age of superannuation, subject to certain conditions. Further, PFRDA vide "PFRDA (Exits and Withdrawals under the NPS) (First Amendment) Regulations, 2017" dated 10.08.2017 has liberalized norms for partial withdrawals which also include reduction of requirement of minimum years of being enrolled under NPS from 10 years to 3 years from the date of joining.
§ PFRDA has increased the maximum age limit from 60 years to 65 years for joining NPS-All Citizen Model and Corporate Sector Model, vide "PFRDA (Exits and Withdrawals under the NPS) (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2017" dated 06.10.2017.
§ PFRDA vide "PFRDA (Exits and Withdrawals under the NPS) (Third Amendment) Regulations, 2018" dated 02.2018 has facilitated easy exit & withdrawal in case of disability and incapacitation of the subscriber covered under NPS.
§ Transparency and Portability is ensured through online access of the pension account by the NPS subscribers, across all geographical locations and portability of employments.
(c) & (d) Representations have been received which inter alia also include the demand that the Government may revert to old defined benefit pension system. However, due to rising and unsustainable pension bill and competing claims on the fiscal, there is no proposal to replace the NPS with old pension scheme in respect of Central Government employees recruited on or after 01.01.2004.

LEAMING, William Clothier
Flying Officer
J/20386
Wellington Mk. VIII, HF309
Runnymede Memorial
[Panel 246]
Flying Officer Leaming was living in Leaside, Ontario when he enlisted in the RCAF on 11 September 1941.
Originally selected to be a wireless operator / air gunner, during his training at No. 1 Manning Depot his hard work and above average abilities suggested that he might be better qualified as a pilot or observer. On 21 December 1941 Aircraftman Class 2 Leaming was posted to No. 6 Initial Training School at Toronto, Ontario where he learned the basic knowledge of flight and aviation mechanics. Testing on the Link Trainer confirmed he could be a good pilot. On 14 February 1942 Leading Aircraftman Leaming was sent to No. 20 Elementary Flying Training School at Oshawa, Ontario to become a basic pilot. Here he was selected to become a multi-engine pilot where on 25 April he was posted to No. 1 Service Flying Training School at Borden, Ontario to develop his military flying skills such as formation and night flying and precision navigation. Receiving his pilot's wings and, due to his noted hard work and being near the top of the class, he was commissioned as a pilot officer on 14 August. P/O Leaming was then posted to No. 31 General Reconnaissance School at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island to develop his maritime reconnaissance skills before proceeding overseas.
On 10 December 1942 P/O Leaming was transferred to the RAF. As with other RCAF pilots newly-arrived in the UK, he was sent to an Advanced Flying Unit, in this case No. 19 (Pilot) Advanced Flying Unit, from 12 January to 16 February 1943 in the process of which he was promoted to flying officer. He then was sent to 407 Squadron until 17 July after which he went on his operational training unit course at No. 3 (Coastal) Operational Training Unit where he would select a crew, as well as being selected by his fellow aircrew. Here he met up with RCAF member Pilot Officer Lloyd Nairn who became his navigator. On 29 September the crew was posted to No. 179 Squadron flying Wellington Mk IIIs on anti-submarine patrols.
On 29 December, F/O Leaming was the 1st pilot of the crew that included fellow Flying Officer Nairn. Their Wellington had to make an emergency landing at Gibraltar. F/O Leaming had over 300 flying hours by this time.
After D-Day, Coastal Command was occupied with keeping U-Boats from disrupting the flow of materiel and personnel to France. On 14 June 1944, 179 Squadron Wellington HF309 took off at 10:58 PM on an anti-submarine patrol. An hour later, an emergency SOS transmission was heard, giving coordinates in the Wellington's patrol area. No reason was given for the emergency; nothing further was heard from the aircraft and no wreckage was ever found.
Flying Officer Leaming was 21 years old when he was killed.

So what could possibly be good about having a selfish mom?
A selfish mom makes time for her own needs. My mum was like that. She went out for dinner with friends. Took classes. Worked. Wasn't available 24/7 but was available when we needed her. She was a fantastic role model for my sister and I. It meant we grew up to become selfish moms too.
Even when the proverbial hits the fan, and my god, has it done so in recent years for both of us, we still make time for ourselves, however we can manage it. This might involve reading a novel we enjoy by a sick child's bedside, working at odd hours to be home with a child who needs us or getting the occasional massage to relieve stress. We don't give up up the things we love, we just squeeze them in wherever and whenever we can.
I was telling a friend about this today and she said I'd chosen the wrong word. That my mum wasn't self-ish but performed self-care. She put the oxygen mask on her own face first so she was then able to help us. This is the middle road between being self-less, all about other people, or self-centred, all about yourself. Neither of which is ideal.
So which Tarot spread might represent a selfish mom?
Are you a selfish mom?

<head> I wanted to test a variation of a product page with different copy. I use Google Analytics which has a feature called Content Experiments. Here is how this feature can be used on a Wordpress site.
1. Install Google Content Experiments plugin (at the time of writing it's at 1.0.0, and I'm using Wordpress 3.4.2).
2. Decide what your goal is going to be and set it up in Google Analytics. It could be a visit to a particular page (e.g. a thank you page after a purchase). In my case, the shopping cart and the checkout is on a different domain, so I setup a Google Analytics event which is recorded when the user presses the Buy button.
onclick="if (typeof(analyticsEventTracking) != 'undefined' && analyticsEventTracking=='enabled') _gaq.push(['_trackEvent','Buy button','Page bottom', 'Visual Communication for BAs']);"
I check the analyticsEventTracking variable added by the Google Analyticator plugin. This is to prevent recording the event when a logged in user presses the button (i.e. when I'm testing it myself).
Check that the events show up in Google Analytics. Note that it will take some time (perhaps an hour) before you see them in GA.
4. Set up a variation of your page (or several). This means that you'll need to create new pages in Wordpress. You probably want to make their URLs similar to the original page, with the addition of a prefix or suffix.
5. Setup an experiment in Google Analytics. You can do this by going to the Standard Reporting section, choosing the Content tab and selecting Experiments. From there, create a new experiment and follow the steps.
You'll get to choose which pages to include in the experiment.
6. Once the experiment is running, collect enough data for a statistically significant result, and choose the winning variation!

Francesco Stringa (Módena, 25 de agosto de 1635 - Modena, 7 de marzo de 1709) fue un pintor italiano activo durante el Barroco.

Biografía
Estudió junto a Ludovico Lana. En 1659 Stringa está al servicio de Alfonso IV de Este, sucediendo a Flaminio Torri como conservador de las colecciones de arte de la familia Este (1661). Los conocimientos que le aportaron este cargo le permitieron desarrollar un estilo a veces caprichoso, caracterizado por el uso de potentes efectos de claroscuro, convirtiéndose en una alternativa a las grandes figuras de la pintura boloñesa de aquella época, Lorenzo Pasinelli y Carlo Cignani.

Stringa acusó la influencia de Mattia Preti, que trabajó en Modena en la década de 1650. Realizó diversos trabajos en instituciones religiosas de la región, en los que muestra su conocimiento del arte boloñés, en especial de los Carracci. No dejó, sin embargo, de trabajar para los Este, que le concedieron diversos honores: fue elegido director de la Accademia di Pittura en 1672 y, en 1685, superintendente de las Fabbriche Ducali.

En 1674 comenzó una importante serie de decoraciones al fresco en el Palazzo Ducale de Modena, con la ayuda del quadraturista Baldassarre Bianchi. Entre 1695 y 1696 trabajó junto este último y Marcantonio Franceschini en el mismo palacio (Bodas de Cupido y Psyché). Aquí su estilo se hace más suave, probablemente influido por una reciente estancia en Venecia (1693-1694). El uso del color en obras posteriores confirman este dato.

Entre sus alumnos figuran Girolamo Donnini y Giacomo Zoboli.

 Frescos del Pantheon Atestinum (1663)

Iron Ladies of Old Town Challenge Waterfront Plan
Appeal of protest petition to move forward, either in Circuit Court or Board of Zoning Appeals.
The waterfront plan increases density at three sites and allows hotels. Photo courtesy of the Waterfront Plan Work Group
By Michael Lee Pope
Attorney Roy Shannon speaks before City Council members during the public hearing on the waterfront, presenting an appeal to city officials and asking council members to stay the vote.
The controversial waterfront small-area plan may have squeaked through City Hall on a five-to-two vote last month, but a final resolution could be months away. That's because a handful of opponents are girding for a fight, although the time and location have yet to be worked out.
At the center of the action are three Alexandria residents supporters have taken to calling the "Iron Ladies of Old Town," April Burke, Marie Kux and Beth Gibney. They own property adjacent to the rezoned properties and are among the hundreds of people who signed a protest petition requesting that a supermajority of six votes should be required to pass the plan, which increased density at three sites on the waterfront. Along with two other Alexandria residents who do not own property adjacent to the rezoned properties, Mark Mueller and waterfront plan work group member Bert Ely, the gang of five has hired attorney Roy Shannon to lead the charge.
But their course has yet to be charted.
One scenario would involve going directly to Alexandria Circuit Court, arguing that the group has already filed an appeal of a determination that the protest petition requesting a supermajority is not valid. Shannon attempted to present the appeal to Planning Director Faroll Hamer during the waterfront public hearing, but city officials say the government is not "open for business" during public hearings. Shannon could argue that the appeal was rightfully presented but city officials refused to accept it because it could have delayed the vote. Another scenario would be to present the appeal to planning officials once again and wait for a hearing before the Board of Zoning Appeals.
"We're about to begin a major fundraising effort on their behalf to help raise money for the legal bills," said former Vice Mayor Andrew Macdonald, a co-chairman of Citizens for an Alternative Alexandria Waterfront Plan. "We obviously disagree with the vote, and this is our way of staying involved with the issue."

Reputation management is a confusing topic for many people. If this is something you've been wondering about, then you've come to the best place to be. Read on to learn just how to apply these principles to your company.
Always protect and improve your business reputation by following up with all your customers. This is especially true if you have a larger business. They must feel important to you. Automate follow-up systems to keep in touch. Also, ask them to give feedback for recent purchases.
TIP! It is important to remain personable when you are online. Unless you are truly communicating, people won't care what you write online.
Offense is the way to prevent reputation decay. Counteract any negative comments online with tons of positive remarks. Post new positive content continually to help overcome any negative feedback.
Make sure all customers are satisfied. Turning a customer's negative experience into a good one will show your customer that you care. If that change happens via online forums, that is even better. That will show everyone that you provide great customer service.
Always be personable. You can't just post status updates or tweets without interacting with followers. If a question is posted, answer it quickly. If something is brought up that you are unsure of, let the person know that you value their opinions, and you will get back to them shortly with a solution.
If there is any information online that isn't true, you can ask the site owner to remove it. As long as you can show solid proof that this information is libelous, most site owners will have no problems removing it.
TIP! As your company expands, you will get more interaction from customers. With this you'll have to deal with complaints sometimes, and this is why you have to be sure you take on every customer complaint.
Keep a good reputation and satisfy unhappy customers. Try to turn a bad experience into a positive one by showing that you care. If this is possible to do online, the rewards are even greater. You will get more visibility that way.
You may become angered when you read a negative comment about your business. That said, stay calm and respond with facts. When people read the argument on both sides, they can figure out who they think is right.
Pay close attention to how you are perceived online. Negative remarks can move quickly up a search result for your business. Stop them before they get high in the rankings. Consider doing this monthly or every two weeks.
Many sites post fake reviews all over the Internet, and your competitors may be doing this. Do not use such tactics. It's not only a business practice that's bad, but a lot of states have laws that make things like this against the law.
Be sure that each social media account utilized by your firm is operated in a professional manner. Such pages demonstrate your business character, so you need to make sure they always show positivity. While you should open up a bit in order to let people see the person behind the business, there is a limit to how far you should go with this.
If your company advertises certain promises, live up to the promises. This is something that can cause a lot of poor reputation if you do not live up to it. You will then be perceived as a dishonest person and business. Once a business gets that kind of reputation, it will take a long time to improve it.
If you have employees, treat them well. Many people don't take this too seriously, which can lead to serious consequences. When people think your company treats employees poorly, your reputation can suffer.
Do not harm your own reputation via becoming angry with an accusation by a customer over an issue. Do not take these things personally, especially on social media platforms. If you have a problem that makes a customer cross the line, just ignore them so you're not looking like a person that's not professional.
TIP! Become a member of your industry trade organization. People who are interested in your industry may visit organizations to get leads.
A private promotion or deal should always be kept a private matter. This is essential for times when you offer a big discount to address a complaint. One thing to avoid is posting the things you're doing to remedy a customer complaint and then receive more complaints because people want free things.
Make sure you make time for your customers. Make sure you have a live person on your customer service line and make sure someone replies to website comments as well. One of the largest customer complaints is being unable to contact a real person when an issue arises.
TIP! To stay on top of the reputation your business has, monitor what people are saying about it on the Internet. Search frequently, surf relevant forums, and keep an eye on social media content.
Make sure to monitor all social networking sites. Folks tend to discuss consumer experiences there. When you monitor these platforms, you are able to kick into damage control mode as soon as you come across anything negative. By doing this, you'll protect your reputation and keep your business in a positive note.
It's important to not only accept, but also to use constructive criticism. If people raise an issue that's legitimate, then you need to make sure your company addresses it and then thanks whoever told you about it. Instead of hiding that, improve your business as a result.
TIP! Involve your business with at least one charity, even when you no outstanding reputation issues. It can help your company's reputation and give yourself tax benefits.
Reading bad comments about your business can anger you, especially when the comments are not exactly true. Respond calmly using facts to disprove their negative content. This will give people the opportunity to understand your side as well as that of the complainer.
Your company website is an essential element of any Internet reputation management regimen. Every single part of your website needs to have the company name incorporated into it. This will allow search engines to find you fast. Make sure that your company name is within the headers, URL and title tag of each page.
TIP! For larger companies, get an employee that specifically deals with public relations. Managing a business reputation takes lots of time.
If the company has made a mistake with a customer, don't hide it. You need to realize your customers are smart. Freely admit your mistake, and humbly apologize for it. People appreciate that type of honesty.
Ask your best customers to give product testimonials. Strong testimonials can make a big difference in your overall reputation. As potential customers browse online reviews in search of a place to do business, your positive reviews will prompt them to give your company a try. This is even the case if there are a couple negative reviews out there.
TIP! Just because there are a few bad things written about you online does not mean that there is a huge problem. It is important to look at things in a different perspective.
Sponsor an event for your community. This is a great way to boost your company's image. You are going to make an impression that's positive on your customers when they are able to see that your company will its own donate money and time to a good cause. It can certainly help your business.
Black hat SEO should be avoided. You can wreck your online credibility that way. When you are trying to game a search engine to work on your results, you may get your site banned in the end. This will cause people to lose trust in you.
TIP! Be sure to be proactive as far as communicating with your clientele. You build up a reputation by having some communications with people, and a lack of this can destroy the reputation you have.
Keep track of all the websites where people talk about your business. You must familiarize yourself with sites that customers frequent to post reviews about businesses that are in your industry. Handle criticism and show others the positive interactions people have had using your services.
Use strategy when you are responding to negative comments online. Everyone has access to the Internet. Your words can work for or against you later on. Therefore, think about things carefully. Do not post if you are still angry. That will only make things worse.
Do not share every piece of information about yourself on the web. Things can get twisted and distorted, so caution is key. Be cautious regardless of how many or few people use your social media accounts.
You should consider a guarantee if someone is not completely satisfied with your product. This is part of providing excellent customer service. Customer returns cannot be be resold as new so you might lose a little bit of profit. However, you're going to get points in having a reputation that's good in the corporate sense.
If your company promises something, stick to those terms. If you switch things up, and you do it often, no one will trust you. Your business is sure to develop a dishonest reputation. It is also hard to bounce back once your reputation suffers.
When you receive negative reviews, you may become upset. It's crucial for you to be able to contain that first and highly emotional response. Think through a good response before you react. This keeps you from getting a bad reputation online.
Effective reputation management is sometimes dealing directly with negative reviews or criticisms. Instead of just deleting negative comments, try your best to address it clearly and explain the snafus. This will help you to be seen in a good light with your customers.
Get involved with charities, even if you're not dealing with public relations problems. Doing so can provide many benefits to your company, including tax breaks. Going forward, when your brand is mentioned, it will be associated with all the great things you've done.
One of the most important parts of reputation management is your company's website. You should incorporate your company's name into your website. This shows your site has authority. Make sure your company's name is located in the title tag, URL and page headers.
It was probably easy for you to see that reputation management is of great benefit if you just know what you're doing. Use this information and see how it can help you. Don't hesitate! You should get started right away.

Skitzo Calypso: Revived & Live!
By Barry Adkins @BetterBSharp · On November 2, 2018
When I began doing concert photography, one of the first shows I covered was at the House Of Rock, north of Baltimore, in 2013. My wife (girlfriend at the time) and I were there to see Eye Empire perform, but there were a slew of openers to test our lenses out on first. One of those bands, it so happened to be, was Skitzo Calypso. In fact, I distinctly remember holding the door open for Brad Cox and company as we were making our way into the restaurant, unaware of who it was until later that night. So, how wonderful is it that five years later I had the honor of photographing their return to the stage, not to mention getting to see several other great acts alongside them, at Transcendent Events' Halloween show on October 27 at the Metro Gallery in Baltimore?
Rise Among Rivals: Facebook | Twitter | iTunes | Amazon
One of those acts is a fairly new band called Rise Among Rivals, whose debut, self-titled EP only dropped in June. Yet, it was very clear from the moment they took the stage that they possess a large and enthusiastic fanbase. And I can understand why: they deal out a heavy-yet-catchy band of hard rock, and it's executed extremely well. Throw in the fact that they're all extremely animated individuals, and you have a set which is not only fun to listen to, but watch to boot.
Skitzo Calypso: Website | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | Bandcamp
Skitzo Calypso's return to the stage — after a two year absence — was well received. Particular highlights for me were two songs off their recent release entitled A.L.I.C.E., "Reaching For An Emerald Sky," and "The Tortured and the Hare," both of which exploded with energy and drove the band and the crowd forward into the night. Of course, I state that as someone who was pressed up against the stage, banging my head to the rhythm of Gary Holmes' bass drum. Still, looking around and making sure not to headbutt anyone as I lost myself in the music gave me a decent sense that I was not alone in my enjoyment. One person who was definitely enjoying himself was bassist Tyler Garrett, who was like a man possessed the entire night. He'd scream to the sky and fall upon the floor, all while keeping the foundation in place for the dual-guitar assault of Patrick Sise and Bryan Holmes as they ripped through track after track. Part way through the set, frontman and vocalist Brad Cox took a moment to speak from the heart about the late Chris O'Rourke, former Skitzo guitarist and friend, and dedicated their song "Until My Heart 5tops Beating" to his memory. Though obviously an emotional moment for him, he carried on in his usual manner, literally sweating energy and belting out note after note. Fans were enjoying the show so much that, by the time the end arrived, the band had to convince them to leave. Reluctantly, they dispersed, but certainly happier than they arrived after having received a healthy serving of rock n' roll, not to mention a bag of Skittles in standard Skitzo Calypso fashion.

I grew up on the rock songs of my parents, which filled car rides with tunes by The Eagles, Bob Seger, and Fleetwood Mac. Later, my school friends helped me broaden my scope a little more, introducing me to heavy metal and the wondrous songs of Metallica, Megadeth, and the like. Since then I've taken a liking to bluegrass music, which I'm still getting used to, and finding that I really love the mandolin. Connect with Barry on: Google+ | Facebook | Twitter

Brew Point
Bewitched. . . and bewildered
By: Martin Andanar - @inquirerdotnet
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 12:10 AM January 30, 2017
There is a strong possibility traffic in the streets of our major cities will be light this morning. The reason for that is the Miss Universe final ceremony, televised by all the major news outlets. It happens early this morning because the beauty contest airs Sunday night in the United States. We have to make the adjustment since the major revenue source of Miss Universe is American advertisers.
Filipinos nurse a weakness for beauty pageants. They root for our own candidates during every major beauty pageant. They study the competition closely and observe the way the candidates are judged. Every beauty queen we have enjoyed a cult following of devoted admirers. There is almost a religiosity with which we approach beauty contests.
Last week, President Duterte hosted the Miss U candidates to a reception at the presidential palace. All 80 or so of the most stunningly beautiful ladies happily trooped to the Palace to thank the President for his support. Even if our government will pay nothing to have this event staged, Malacañang played its role to the hilt by encouraging private sector Filipinos to invest in the event. The PNP secures the pageant, ensuring no embarrassment happens.
The President was clearly overwhelmed by the bevy of beauties who descended on his official home. It is unusual for the President to read from a prepared speech, as we know only so well. For this event, however, he allowed a speech to be prepared. This is to ensure all protocol is followed.
Beyond prepared speech, the President admitted he hoped that day would never end. He then offered snippets of a song to the beauties around him, confessing he was "bewitched, bothered and bewildered" by the event. There was a twinkle in his eye the Miss Universe contestants could not have missed. There was a smile that stayed on his face long after the candidates have left to attend their hectic rehearsals.
Nothing, it seemed, could ruin this happy day for the President. That day, he was chatting with the most beautiful women in the universe.
With all the gallantry he could muster, the President showed his gratitude to the contestants for coming to the country and, in turn, bringing the country to the world's attention. This is such a pleasant antidote for all the bad news. The Philippines, it seems, gets top-of-the-fold treatment in the global press only when we are hit by major calamities. This is a welcome respite.
His polished event with the contestants surprised those who knew President Duterte was not head-over-heels holding a major beauty contest here. He agreed to its hosting only if public money is not spent (except, of course, for the many layers of security thrown around this pageant). We do not want any untoward incident marring this happy moment for the nation.
Although he refused funding for our hosting this high-profile contest, the President understood the goodwill this will bring to the Filipinos. It will remind the rest of the world that the Philippines is not only about insurgencies and other calamities. This nation is also home to graciousness, warmth and stunning beauty.
Hosting the pageant is also a source of enjoyment for our people, battered by urban congestion, police abuses and all the many other ills we endure daily. It is an opportunity to showcase the wonders of our land and the spirit of our people. This event provides a platform for launching our reinvigorated tourism promotion campaign.
The President understands that the multiplier effect of hosting this event will be huge. This is a highly visible test of this new administration's capacity to get things done.
The country had only a few weeks to prepare and if the contest is completed with aplomb, it will demonstrate to the world we now have a government that can deliver solidly.

The 1940 Boston College Eagles represented Boston College as an independent during the 1940 college football season. The team was led by head coach Frank Leahy in his second year, and played their home games at Fenway Park in Boston and Alumni Field in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. They won all ten games in the regular season, were the highest-scoring team in the country, and won the Lambert Trophy, awarded to 'Eastern champion'. With its victory on New Year's Day in the Sugar Bowl over the undefeated Tennessee, champion of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), the BC Eagles were widely acclaimed as national champions. Minnesota and Stanford also have viable claims to the national championship.

From 1936 to 1964, the final AP Poll ranking college football teams was taken at the end of the regular season, before the postseason bowl games. The final 1940 rankings were published on December 2, and listed undefeated Minnesota (8–0) first with its thrilling home win by an extra point 7–6 over No. 3 Michigan (7–1). Stanford (10–0) was ranked second, Tennessee (10–0) fourth, and Boston College (10–0) was fifth.

Neither Minnesota nor Michigan played in a postseason bowl game, and Stanford defeated No. 7 Nebraska (8–2) in the Rose Bowl. Tennessee outscored its regular season opponents 319–26, soundly beating such opponents as Alabama, Florida, LSU, Kentucky, Virginia, and Duke. Despite where the AP rated teams at the end of the regular season, BC's post season win over Tennessee was widely deemed the best win of any team in the 1940 season.

Q: Monitoring insert into statements from remote server I have written a procedure that runs a bunch of select into statements from remote linked servers.
These servers have been known to simply hang and not respond for some reason, however my insert into statement will continue endlessly.
Is there a way in SQL server I can monitor the destination table to see if data is going in? I am not using transactions. When I try to select from the destination table, it must be locked because it is basically sitting there waiting. I changed my isolation level to READ UNCOMMITTED and can get a select on the table, but the count isn't moving, so I am assuming the data goes in batches?
I am running a tcpdump on the remote server and can see the packets flowing through, just hoping there is an easier way to see it through MSSQL somewhere.
Any advise appreciated!

A: SQL profiler is your friend.
open SSMS and goto Tools -> SQL Server Profiler.  Then setup the criteria, and there are ALOT OF THEM.  I always start big and whittle it down.
Some advise, make sure you know what the account is that is being used to execute the statement.  As well, only run it for no more than 10-20 mins, cause these Profiler files can eat up 100GB/session in minutes.  While looking for the statement, only start it before you execute the statement and stop it after you get the result and then find your statement information and then refine the Profiler for what you need.


Concept This project is located in an open field at the west entrance of San chagang Forest Park. The new building, a visitor center, different from the past single-building type, is divided into five groups of landscape structures - each group consists of one or two prostrate structures and a tower-like landmark. Rooms of the new visitor center lie in these structures. These buildings scatter across the landscape. They form an entirety together with plants, micro topography and logo .At the same time, the entirety is subdivided into different character and function. The mixed structure system is dominated by reinforced concrete, partially replaced by steel. It sometimes hides, sometimes reveals; sometimes it is serious, sometimes it is playful; sometimes it is sparse, sometimes it is dense. It changes the atmosphere from time to time.

8:30 AM Thursday, January 20, 2005: Oil at $80 a barrel? Plummeting store-based retail sales? Booming Internet retail sales? Huge drops in attendance at theme parks and Las Vegas casinos and hotels? Bankruptcies for all the major airlines? Major boom in security equipment and services?
No one can predict the future. But these scenarios are laid out in a major cover article Richard Clarke has written for the present issue of The Atlantic Monthly magazine.
I sincerely recommend reading Clarke's piece.
In an interview with Clarke accompanying the long article, the interviewer asks: "How did you come up with the idea to write an imaginary account of the first ten years of the war on terror?"
Clarke answered: "I remembered how influential the 1970s book The Third World War was in stimulating debate over what we should do about the NATO-Soviet Union confrontation that was building in Europe. In that book, a British general named Sir John Hackett jumped ahead about ten years and portrayed what would happen in a war in Europe between these two very modern militaries. It did so in such graphic detail and with such credibility that it really stimulated a great debate and gave us a big impetus towards creating the arms-control measures that largely demilitarized Europe. I thought, What better way to stimulate debate about homeland security than to do the same kind of thing: jump ahead about ten years and show what will happen if we don't improve our homeland-security posture before attacks occur?"
At the end of his article, Clarke writes, "This scenario is intentionally very bad but not worst-case. (A nuclear or biological attack would be the worst case.) The purpose of this article is to suggest that there are still opportunities to avoid such disasters without sacrificing our liberties, if we act now. Finally, for those who may say that this has given the terrorists recipes and road maps for how to attack us, here's a bit of bad news: the terrorists already know in much greater detail how best to attack us again."
Ten Years Later, Clarke's article.
Read and ponder. Sorry to be so depressing. But Clarke's forecasts have major potential implications for our future investments. Do not dismiss Clarke's ideas because the administration sacked him or because of your political bent. Read and think. Discuss Clarke's ideas with your family and friends. I don't make this recommendation lightly.

We will make documents available to all parties – INEC
While PDP accuses INEC of culpable involvement in the party's woes at the presidential election that took place in February 2019, INEC on its part has promised not to take sides in the expected legal tussle, INEC says they have their own data that justifies their actions and that they will make documents available to all parties if called upon to do so.
Mahmood Yakubu
During a chat with the press, the INEC National Commissioner and chairman of its Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr Festus Okoye, said; concerning the preparedness of the commission with respect to Atiku's intention to go to court; that INEC would defend actions it took during the just concluded 2019 presidential elections.
READ ALSO: Voting Materials Were Missing In 14% Of Polling Units – EU Election Observers Reveal
Okoye said,
"The Independent National Electoral Commission is empowered to organise, conduct and supervise elections. The commission is not a political party and does not take a partisan posture in relation to election petitions.
"The commission is the regulator of political parties and the law and the constitution has delineated the jurisdiction of election petitions tribunal and the conditions for activating its jurisdiction.
"The commission conducted the Presidential and National Assembly elections on the February 23, 2019 and the Chief Electoral Commissioner of Nigeria and the Returning Officer for the Presidential election, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, declared the incumbent President as the winner of the election and declared him as duly elected.
"The commission organised a relatively peaceful election and complied substantially with the intendment of the constitution and the law.
"However, it is the constitutional and statutory right of every aggrieved candidate to approach either the National and state Houses of Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal which has the original and exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether any person was validly elected to the National Assembly or the Court of Appeal which has original jurisdiction to hear and determine any question as to whether any person has been validly elected to the office of the President or Vice-President under the constitution.
"INEC will defend the outcome of the election it conducted if it is served with processes from the tribunals or the Court of Appeal.
"The commission will make available all documents used in the conduct of elections to petitioners and respondents if the proper application is made and the processes and procedure for the application are followed.
"The commission has almost completed the reverse logistics in relation to the Presidential and National Assembly elections and the documents used in the conduct of the elections are in safe custody in the various offices of the commission."
"What petitioners need are the data from the smart card readers which will be available to petitioners and respondents.
"Petitioners and respondents are assured that the commission will be professional and ethical in the handling of election petitions.
"The commission will not take issue with any political party but will respond to and investigate concrete allegations backed by evidence and not general allegations made without any shred of evidence."
