In spite of its close partnership with Microsoft, Red Hat and Novell, XenSource's CTO maintains the virtualization hypervisor belongs in server hardware -- not in the operating system.
Speaking at Interop in New York, XenSource CTO Simon Crosby said the slim, trim Xen hypervisor in products such as the company's newly launched XenCenter OEM Edition is a more natural fit in hardware than in infrastructure software.
Backing that claim, Crosby pointed to Dell's announcement on Tuesday that it will ship XenCenter OEM Edition as an option with all Poweredge x86 servers within a quarter. XenSource's XenCenter OEM Edition, launched in August, is the industry's first embedded hypervisor on flash or disk.
Yet, it appears the thinking at XenSource is changing as the market evolves and its ownership has changed. Citrix's acquisition of the three-year-old company closed last Friday.
Crosby said it's positive that operating systems are hypervisor-aware but deep involvement by Intel and AMD and emergence of VT-enabled hardware and hardware-assisted IO for virtualization makes the decision of whether virtualization be included in the operating system or exist as a separate layer easy.
"In my view, it's a separate layer because it's part of the box," Crosby told several hundred people gathered for his Interop keynote at the Javits Center in New York. "Platform virtualization is here to stay."
He finished with a pitch for Citrix's new OEM edition of Xencenter. "There's no excuse to buy a new server and not have it virtualized. The hypervisor will be included in every server."

Le pont Ortiz est un pont à quatre arches de Cali, en Colombie, qui fait partie du patrimoine architectural national. Au centre de la ville, il fut le premier pont que l'on jeta sur la rivière Cali. L'ingénieur des travaux fut le frère franciscain José Ignacio Ortiz, originaire de Candelaria, qui était un ingénieur amateur.

Au sud de l'ouvrage, il y a le , le théâtre Jorge Isaacs et l', et au nord, le Centre administratif municipal, siège de la mairie.

Histoire

Construction
Dès 1734 la ville sentit le besoin de jeter un pont sur la rivière Cali pour relier le centre de la ville au nord. Elle construisit cette année-là un pont piétonnier de bambou qui se détériora rapidement.

Le maire Santiago Reyes proposa au conseil de le remplacer. En 1835, José Montehermoso fut nommé directeur des travaux pour cette entreprise. Les travaux débutèrent sans l'approbation du gouverneur, qui estimait que la construction du pont ne représentait qu'une dépense onéreuse.

Le , le frère Ortiz prit les rênes des travaux et travailla trois ans à l'ouvrage pour l'achever en .

Restaurations et transformations

Le pont fut remis en état à diverses reprises. En 1918, il fut transformé par Julio Fajardo Herrera, qui modifia la largeur de la chaussée ; et en 1946, Alfonso Garrido allongea le pont des deux côtés avec du béton. La construction de l'avenue Colombia eut pour effet de laisser voir la moitié de la partie du pont construite en briques et de recouvrir l'autre moitié. En 1950, le pont cessa d'être piétonnier après avoir été adapté aux berlines récemment arrivées. Il fut plus tard fermé à la circulation automobile, mais il fallut le lui rouvrir dans les années 1980 par suite des pétitions des citoyens. Depuis 1986, il est redevenu un pont piétonnier.

Le pont Ortiz est déclaré monument national selon la résolution 109 du . Pendant les travaux de 2011 visant à abaisser l'avenue Colombia, sur laquelle donne le pont, pour la faire passer dans un tunnel, on mit au jour des morceaux de la structure du pont qui datent de 1840, les murs de l'une des approches du pont. Le mur ouest découvert imite l'opus caementicium des Romains. Lors de la découverte, qui retarda les travaux, on trouva aussi des restes d'animaux, de la vaisselle, de morceaux de céramique, des objets en fer et des restes humains.

When it comes to conflict, many of us want to be somewhere else. We fear that we will lose our temper, that things might get ugly, or that we may damage a close relationship. It doesn't have to be that way. We can use what we know from the fields of Emotional Intelligence and Polarity Management to raise our awareness and improve our management of conflict situations.
In this Mind U program, we will look at conflict from several different perspectives: intrapersonal and interpersonal. We'll examine what our most frequent responses to conflict are and explore how we can expand our response repertoire to more effectively resolve conflict. We will also have an opportunity to apply creative thinking to work on some of our most difficult unresolved conflicts. Join us for this experience and you'll feel more prepared to successfully face the conflicts in your life.

Die Schlacht von Varaville war ein militärischer Zusammenstoß im mittelalterlichen Frankreich, in welcher der Normannenherzog Wilhelm der Bastard (später "der Eroberer") einen Sieg gegen König Heinrich I. errang. Sie fand im August 1057 bei Varaville (heute im Département Calvados in der Region Basse-Normandie) statt.

Hintergrund
Mit der Hilfe König Heinrichs I. hatte der junge Wilhelm einst im Kampf gegen seine Konkurrenten die Herrschaft in der Normandie errungen (Schlacht von Val-ès-Dunes, 1047). Der französische König erhoffte sich, mittels seines Proteges Wilhelm eine Stärkung der königlichen Autorität in dem mächtigen normannischen Fürstentum zu erreichen, doch Wilhelm vollzog 1052 eine politische Kehrtwende, indem er sich vom Einfluss des Königs emanzipierte, um fortan faktisch unabhängig in der Normandie herrschen zu können. In der siegreichen Schlacht von Mortemer 1054 konnte er die so gewonnene Souveränität erfolgreich behaupten und den König zurückschlagen.

Im Jahr 1057 versuchte König Heinrich I. im Bund mit dem Grafen Gottfried II. Martel von Anjou, der ein Erzgegner der Normannen war, noch einmal, auf militärischem Weg seine Autorität in der Normandie wiederherzustellen. Das Bündnis wurde wahrscheinlich im Januar 1057 bei einem Treffen der beiden in Tours besiegelt und bei einem weiteren Treffen im März desselben Jahres in Angers bekräftigt.

Die Schlacht
Im August 1057 drang der König mit seinem Heer in die Normandie ein und marschierte durch das Hiémois ziehend in den Norden, um Bayeux zu erobern. Bei der Ortschaft Varaville erreichten sie den Flusslauf der Dives, den sie überqueren mussten, um nach Bayeux weitermarschieren zu können. Herzog Wilhelm befand sich in dieser Zeit mit seinen Truppen in Falaise, war aber durch sein Kundschaftersystem stets über die Bewegungen des Feindes informiert, den er so problemlos verfolgen konnte. Bei Varaville schloss er schließlich zum Gegner auf, der dort gerade seine Vorhut über den Fluss gesetzt hatte und nun dabei war, die Nachhut folgen zu lassen. Wilhelm nahm die Gelegenheit sofort wahr und ging zum Angriff über.

Dem nun folgenden Kampf wird in der allgemeinen Fachliteratur die Charakterisierung als "Schlacht" abgesprochen, da es sich laut den Überlieferungen eher um ein regelrechtes Massaker gehandelt haben soll. Wilhelm griff die gänzlich überraschte und nicht zum Kampf eingestellte Nachhut des Feindes an, die sich gerade noch auf die Überquerung der Dives konzentriert hatte, sich nun aber unvorbereitet seinen Attacken ausgesetzt sah. Die Normannen schlugen die Nachhut des Königs nieder, der bereits auf der gegenüberliegenden Flussseite stehend nichts dagegen unternehmen konnte. Seine Niederlage war damit besiegelt, worauf er entlang dem Ostufer der Dives die Flucht aus der Normandie heraus in seine königliche Domäne aufnahm.

Folgen
In der Schlacht von Varaville scheiterte der letzte Versuch König Heinrichs I., seine bereits bei Mortemer 1054 verlorengegangene Autorität gegenüber dem Herzog der Normandie wieder zur Geltung zu bringen. Dieses Fürstentum entglitt folglich auf mehrere Generationen hinaus dem Einflussbereich des Königs. Heinrich I. unternahm keine weiteren Versuche mehr, diesen Zustand zu ändern, und starb 1060, worauf ihm der unmündige Philipp I. nachfolgte. Von der königlichen Seite aus konnte deshalb auf mehrere Jahre hinaus keine Bedrohung mehr für Wilhelms uneingeschränkte Macht in der Normandie erwachsen. Stattdessen konnte er seine Macht festigen und ungestört 1066 die Invasion Englands begehen, durch die er zum "Eroberer" wurde.

Der Schlacht von Varaville wurde und wird in der Geschichtsforschung aufgrund ihres kurzen und eindeutigen Verlaufs keine große Bedeutung zuerkannt, da die entscheidende Wende für Wilhelms politische Zukunft bereits bei Mortemer gekommen war und Varaville diese nicht mehr umkehren konnte. Entsprechend ihrer Bedeutung wurde Varaville nur von zwei zeitgenössischen Autoren, Wilhelm von Jumièges und Wilhelm von Poitiers, überliefert. Später erwähnte sie nur Wilhelm von Malmesbury in seiner Chronik und Wace in seinem Gedichtswerk Roman de Rou. Bei anderen bedeutenden Autoren jener Zeit, wie zum Beispiel Ordericus Vitalis, fand sie keinerlei Erwähnung.

The Long Struggle of African American Placemaking
By Kelly Houston Jones | October 19, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment
Continuing our roundtable on We We Eight Years in Power, today we share a post by Kelly Houston Jones, an assistant professor of history at Austin Peay State University. Her research focuses on slavery, agriculture, and the environment in the trans-Mississippi South.
Previous installments of the roundtable are available here and here and subsequent posts are available here and here.
The power of space and place persists in Ta-Nehisi Coates' new compilation, We Were Eight Years in Power. The importance of black homes and neighborhoods looms large in Coates' reflections on white supremacy's plundering of black families and futures. Much of that discussion, especially in "The Case for Reparations," focuses on housing in the twentieth century. Discriminatory laws and practices directed white families to purchase homes that would increase in value and secure buyers' financial futures, while African American prospective homeowners in and around cities like Chicago were cheated out of ownership by contract scams and relegated to redlined neighborhoods that only depreciated in value. Home ownership, a powerful symbol of the American dream, represented not only economic independence, but autonomy in space—a place where black families could love, nurture, and grow, away from the piercing eyes of white America. Simultaneously, the spaces of homes and neighborhoods served as sites of respectability (the politics of respectability admittedly frustrates Coates), displaying "middle class" values of neatness and hard work that countless black families have leveraged in the attempt to gain respect from whites over generations. It is no wonder, then, that neighborhoods became a battleground. The power of space and place is also evident in Coates' other mentions of places like Black Wall Street, a sector of prosperous black businesses in Tulsa Oklahoma, which whites torched in 1921. That space harbored and cultivated the black entrepreneurial spirit and offered a contradiction to white supremacy.
Those complicated threads connecting space and place with autonomy, oppression, and resistance reach back to slavery, an institution that Coates refers to time and again in order to drive home the bracing fact that America's roots are bondage and white supremacy. Reading Coates' reflections on homes, neighborhoods and families immediately brought to my mind the influential work of the late Tony Kaye. Joining Places shows neighborhoods as the most important "terrain of struggle" for African Americans in bondage. Adjoining farms and plantations created the world in which black men and women forged family ties and a sense of community amid the horrors of bondage. The neighborhood was "the domain of all the bonds that constituted their daily routine" and it was created by enslaved people's own sense of place—the hills, streams, and bottomlands that they paced as they move through their own social lives, not the gridded surveys that whites used to cut up acreage into fiber factories. This sense of neighborhood was always under construction, however, as slaveholders repeatedly severed ties between family and friends via moves and sales. Place making, then, remained a constant struggle.[1]
The cabins in which enslaved people dwelt also represented ongoing efforts to carve meaning and power out of space. Stephanie Camp explained the quarters as "extensions of two worlds." Those structures made up a portion of the "public life of the plantation" as spaces to house those who labored over the cash crop and as spaces in which the next generation of laborers were conceived and born. Thus, the quarters remained part of the reproduction of labor. At the same time, those modest cabins incubated the family and community life of those held in bondage, serving as "essential elements in the rival geography." Camp described enslaved people's homes as political sites as well, where they contemplated freedom, and where at least a few women displayed abolitionist prints on the walls. Perhaps a far cry from the homebuyers' activist groups that Coates describes as a pushback against the predatory contract sellers in the twentieth century, but the work of Camp and others reminds us that the story of the politics of black domestic spaces is a long one.
These slave quarters and homes are where African American families resisted the "plundering" that Coates emphasizes throughout his references to slavery and early black America. Parents nourished and instructed their children in the quarters, passing down traditions and creating new ones. Their housing could also serve as the repositories of enslaved people's gains in hunting, fishing, or clandestinely trading. For some, the small plots surrounding their cabins might yield produce to augment diets, or, for the very fortunate, a space to grow a bit of the cash crop for sale.[2]
The Civil War changed the terrain of struggle, and the fight for the meaning of space and place took on even higher stakes. Formerly enslaved people immediately identified land ownership as central to their meaning of freedom and argued their "right to the soil," as Coates quotes in the opening to "The Case for Reparations." Not only had they earned it with their generations of toil, but freedpeople also understood landholding as the best hope for their economic survival and successful entrance into equal citizenship. Long before home ownership in suburbia symbolized the American dream and afforded the most obvious investment route to economic self-sufficiency, it was the ownership over one's own farm acreage that signaled economic independence, citizenship, and autonomy for black southerners. As many Reconstruction scholars have shown, however, whites snuffed out the opportunity at landholding and rolled back black-owned acreage in the decades after the Civil War.[3] Readers might look into Pete Daniel's Dispossession for that trend's continuity in the mid-twentieth century, which occurred simultaneous to the northern housing discrimination crisis Coates chronicles.[4]
Space and place as theorized by historians of the Civil War era create a thread connecting much of Coates' musings and arguments. Families carved meaningful spaces out of the sites of their bondage, ached with disappointment when blocked from the freedom and independence of land ownership in the aftermath of the great struggle with chattel slavery. While their grandchildren may have been able to flee their stagnant status in the South to pursue the promises of urban, worldly, sites up North, place making remained a dangerous struggle.

Hall & Oates sold out at Sands Bethlehem? See them "live" Thursday in Center Valley
By John J. Moser
Of The Morning Call |
Feb 16, 2015 | 8:52 PM
If you didn't get tickets to the sold-out show by 19870s and '80s hitmakers Hall and Oates show next week at Sands Bethlehem Event Center – or even if you did – you'll have another chance to see them live in the area a week earlier.
Sort of.
The pair, who are the best-selling pop duo of all time, at 7 p.m. Feb. 19 will have a one-night-only showing of "Daryl Hall & John Oates: Recorded Live From Dublin," a movie that captured them before a sellout crowd in July at Dublin's Olympia Theatre.
It will be shown in more than 300 select movie theaters nationwide. Among them will be the Promenade 16 Theater at the Shops at Upper Saucon in Center Valley. Tickets are $15 each.
Others are showings include Reading Movies 11 with IMAX, and Cinema Center at Fairgrounds Square 10, both in Reading.

The 110-minute film includes more than 90 minutes of concert, along with interviews and backstage footage.
"Ireland has a very music-oriented culture and a proud musical heritage," Hall said in a release. "It was the perfect storm for a band, a concert and an audience. There are very few first-time experiences after you've been doing this for more than 40 years."
Hall and Oates had 19 songs hit the Top 10 on various charts, nine of which went to No. 1. The duo last released a new album of original material in 2003, "Do It for Love." It has since released albums of Christmas songs and cover versions of soul hits.
Billboard magazine rated Hall and Oates at No. 15 on its list of the 100 greatest artists of all time and the No. 1 duo. In 2003, the duo was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame

Let the Perfect not be the Enemy of the Good
Rajiv Servansingh | September 12, 2014 | Politics | No Comments
Between a rock and a hard place – this is where many Labour Party supporters find themselves ever since the terms of the agreement between their party and the MMM has been made public. It certainly did not take a lot of explaining to convince them about all the benefits that could be derived from such an alliance for the country as well as for their party.
What leaves them rather uneasy is the fact that this is intricately linked up with the creation of the 2nd Republic in which there will be a sharing of power between the Prime Minister and the President.
The constitutional changes being envisaged are meant to be a defining moment in the political history of the country. It is therefore incumbent on the promoters to ensure that they create the kind of consensus (not necessarily unanimity) which will make them workable.
As with all major changes in whatever situation which has prevailed for a long time, there is bound to be resistance especially from those who have come to carve out their zones of comfort within the status quo.
In the realm of politics these zones of comfort sometimes form part of the basic mental set-up of communities resulting from their historical and social experiences as well as the political discourses to which they have been exposed for generations.
Consequently in the absence of a clear vision of where they are meant to lead to and how they will positively improve on the status quo, suggestions for radical change can become potentially self-destructive propositions.
The present configuration of the leadership consisting of two party leaders, who arguably are perceived as representing two distinct sections of the electorate, makes it even more challenging for them to carry out such a complex and emotionally charged enterprise and that too in the context of an electoral campaign.
The fact that Paul Berenger had to hold a press conference "to clarify matters", only days after the joint declaration at the Clarisse House, is in that context an ominous signal and a warning about what these leaders are going to be up against in their coming campaign.
The recent experience with the Committee set up for amending the Constitution in the case of declaration of one's communal appurtenance is still fresh in our minds. Reaching a conclusion on a change of wording having a limited, symbolic impact on the political process has proven extremely arduous.
In the present case the proposed changes to our governance structures founded on the setting up of a Presidential system within the parameters of our Westminsterial system of government is a first of its kind experiment. It is fraught with terrible risks for the political and social stability of the country. Only careful and thorough examination of all the implications of the proposed amendments will help mitigate some of the most obvious risks of conflicts or even deadlock between the two institutions.
Mauritians would of course remember how even within the present dispositions of the law the country was subjected to an episode of high drama when Mr Cassam Uteem as President of the Republic had refused to give his assent to a piece of legislation.
All the above notwithstanding, it must be admitted that there is still scope for leadership of a higher order. According to this view, the leaders choose to undertake a course of action knowing full well that it is not necessarily consistent with the current preferences of the voters. They presume that the "ill-informed" voter will form a new preference once he has been given all the "appropriate" information.
Being animated by the right motivations is often not enough to achieve one's ends in politics. Even well-motivated leaders need to create a credible narrative in favour of their proposed change. This is a time-consuming exercise and even more so when the proposal is so radical that it challenges some of the built-in foundations of political behaviour.
All the above arguments lead to two conclusions.
First, the issue of second Republic notwithstanding a Labour Party-MMM Alliance is most likely to enjoy a wide-ranging and cross-cutting support from different sections of the electorate, on the premise that the country needs a decisive government which can deliver the right policies to get us back on the track of sustainable economic growth, employment creation and the structural changes needed to attain the objective of a "high income" economy.
The second conclusion is that the road to instituting the second Republic is bumpy and potentially full of practical as well as political obstacles which can derail the process at any time. Which leads us to the following question: Have the two leaders been well advised to connect these two issues in such a manner that failure to achieve the more complex, challenging one within a limited timeframe would lead to the termination of the other?
It is after protracted negotiations which have lasted for months on end that the leaders of the Labour Party and the MMM have come to agree on the broad terms of a power-sharing agreement. While it is legitimate for political leaders to leverage their strengths in order to secure the best deal for their party, there are times when compromises may have a much higher pay-off especially when they have an eye on the judgement of history.
It would indeed be a shame and a huge blow to the credibility of the two leaders if they allowed themselves to be kept from the most urgent task of economic reform and the challenges of fashioning constructive policy responses to our current circumstances. A rational approach would be to explicitly admit that the transition to the second Republic may take some time and meanwhile adopt some compensating measures.

Has the Dubai apartment rental market become more affordable?
Real estate experts are suggesting that Dubai apartment rental numbers are experiencing declines, which is good news for tenants who are looking for a new flat or villa more suited to their budget and requirements.
As per latest estimates by Bayut.com, the Dubai rental market saw prices dip further in August.
Average rents across the emirate are reported to have fallen by five percent in August compared to figures in July this year.
Reports suggest that the average rent for studios in Dubai saw a dip of about five percent standing at AED 54,000 in August 2016 from AED 57,000 in July. Rents for one-bed apartments on the other hand, went up by an average of one percent to AED 93,000 in August. Rents for two-bed apartments stood at AED 142,000 in August, declining by two percent compared to the average rent in July. Dubai rentals for three-bed apartments commanded an average rent of AED 197,000, falling by four percent from July's values this year.
For those on a house hunt, the real estate portal also revealed that the top communities for renting apartments in Dubai were Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Bur Dubai, Downtown Dubai and Dubai Silicon Oasis. According to Bayut.com, International City, Dubai Silicon Oasis and International Media Production Zone seemed to be very popular with those looking for affordable apartment renting options. For those working in and around Jebel Ali, Discovery Gardens is a highly sought after apartment rental community. Looking for affordable villas?

A grand jury has officially indicted daredevil investment banker Marcus Schrenker.
PENSACOLA, Fla. — A federal grand jury indicted an Indiana investment adviser Tuesday on charges of deliberately crashing his small airplane in the Florida Panhandle to try to fake his own death as part of a plan to escape financial ruin.
Authorities say Marcus Schrenker, 38, an amateur daredevil pilot and businessman, secretly parachuted to the ground before the crash and sped away on a motorcycle he had stashed away in central Alabama.
A three-day search came to an end on Jan. 13, when authorities finally caught up to Schrenker at a campground near Tallahassee, where they say he tried to take his own life by slashing one of his wrists.
The grand jury also charged him Tuesday with making a fake distress call and he remained jailed after spending a few days in the hospital being treated for his injuries.
But the federal charges, which were expected, are just part of the trouble he faces.
In Indiana, he faces two felony counts alleging that he worked as an investment adviser without being registered, and he is the subject of more than a half-dozen lawsuits seeking millions of dollars over disputes of his financial dealings.
His personal life was also in disarray, with his wife filing for divorce Dec. 30, a day before Indiana police served a search warrant on his home and office, seizing computers, tubs full of financial documents and evidence of recent document shredding. That was within days of his losing a $533,000 judgment to an insurance company.
With his woes mounting, Schrenker bailed out of his plane Jan. 11 near Birmingham, Ala., authorities say. The plane, left on autopilot, continued for another 200 miles before crashing near homes in Florida.
A federal judge on Tuesday ordered Schrenker to remain in a Pensacola jail until a Monday detention hearing. A federal public defender also was to be appointed to represent Schrenker, but hasn't been assigned. His initial hearing on the federal charges was expected within the week.

Q: Query regarding Worklight upgrade from 5.0.5 to 5.0.6.2 We are planning to perform an upgrade of Worklight Server v5.0.5 to v5.0.6.2.
Our current Worklight Server setup is on Linux machine and we want to perform a silent installation.
We checked this link http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27038300
and not able to understand the process clearly. We had already downloaded the Worklight Server v5.0.6.2 fix from fixcentral.
Question : Could you please let us know if only v5.0.6.2 fix is enough to perform the upgrade or we need to install v5.0.6.0 first and then install the fix seperately ?
Question : Also could you please help in preparing the response file for the silent mode installation ?
Thanks,
Raghu

A: For the silent install file, this page of the WL 6.1 documenttion should help you: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wrklight/v6r1m0/index.jsp
It contains a link to a zip file of silent install files that includes install and upgrades for 5.0.6.x. You should use the files 5.0.6\upgrade.xml

is enough to perform the upgrade or we need to install v5.0.6.0 first and then install the fix seperately

Installation Manager must know the repository of 5.0.6 and 5.0.6.2 to apply or install the fix pack (the 5.0.6.2 installer is an incremental installer).
From 5.0.5 to 5.0.6.2, the installer will modify the database tables. So it is important to perform a backup before running the installer, as indicated in the link in order to have a possible rollback scenario,
This step of the document you listed http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27038300,
'Finish Migrating the Worklight Project ' is also very important.
And also the first step, 'Prepare for Migrating the Worklight Project'.

Do not miss the match between Zaragoza and Gimnastic in Spain LaLiga 2 that is going to be held this Monday at La Romareda.
Having earned 34 points, the club is now in the 17th place. Los Malos have lost four of their last five league games and managed to win one over Elche (1-0), which became their second victory at their home stadium in their last five home games. Winning this match will take the team right to the 14th position, so they will likely do their best.
Víctor Fernández's side have not performed impressively lately, but it seems like that the footballers have a chance to beat the away team.
The team sits in the 20th position with 24 points, and their recent performance has been far from perfect. Nàstic have lost four of their previous five league matches, and two last ones ended with a defeat to Malaga (0-1) and Oviedo (2-0).
José Antonio Gordillo's men will unlikely be able to beat Zaragoza in the following game, but they can still count on a draw if they try really hard.
Based on the recent results and other important factors, the recommended bet is Double Chance: Zaragoza win or Draw (1.18 odds).
On this page you will find the prediction for the FOOTBALL match of Zaragoza vs Gimnastic of the LaLiga 2, Spain. In this personally prepared preview we use h2h stories, over/under stats, Zaragoza - Gimnastic match facts and team news. For more accurate analysis we use any additional information like injuries, suspensions or weather forecasts.

If the switch is bad, would you still get a "disk not ready" message on the display?
When the microswitch is pressed (by the disk) it either makes (or breaks) contact.
Unless this message is received by the drive - the operation stops right there - and the error message displayed.
and so will display the error.
I believe that a slack/broken belt will produce the same message. . . . .

Mule Team 20 CTS B70P - Spyderco, Inc.	Page 917 – Spyderco, Inc.
Spyderco's twentieth Mule Team Project instalment highlights Carpenter® CTS B70P® blade steel—a high-chromium, air-hardening steel alloyed with molybdenum, vanadium and niobium. Like conventional steels, the particle metallurgy process begins with a homogenous molten bath of high-alloy steel. However, rather than being poured into ingot molds, the molten steel is forced through a nozzle under high pressure to create a spray of small spherical droplets that quickly solidify into powder particles. The small size of the particles forms micro-ingots, drastically reducing the alloy segregation in the steel and ensuring an extremely fine, uniform carbide structure. This enhances the steel's edge retention, as well as its grinding and polishing characteristics.
CTS B70P is a powder metallurgy derivative of Carpenter's CRB-7 alloy, but offers improved wear resistance and hardness capability. Its corrosion resistance is very comparable to 440C stainless steel. Collectively, these qualities make it an excellent candidate for cutlery applications.

Fox News has learned that Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz plans to allow federal investigators to scan a laptop belonging to her as part of a complex probe into allegations of computer theft, over-billing and possible email hacking. U.S. Capitol Police have had the laptop for months and until now had been unable to get access. It's unclear why the Florida lawmaker and ousted Democratic National Committee chairwoman had been battling law enforcement over the computer; however, her counsel began negotiating this week with Capitol Police in connection with the probe. At least five IT contractors who worked for dozens of House Democrats including Wasserman Schultz purportedly took hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of computer equipment and potentially hacked into the lawmakers' email accounts.

Q: Best Practices for Favorites Feature in App I have an app that, like many apps today, allows users to browse posts and favorite them so that they're stored in a list for future access. Currently my stack is Firebase Database for the back-end, and Swift iOS for the client, but this is more a question about general best practices.
In my app, there are many places where a user can view a post, and for all of them it shows if they've already favorited it or not. How I'm achieving this now is by saving the post's UID to a list for each user in Firebase, so it can be compared against every time a user views a post in the app. This works fine, but I'm not sure if its scalable because it requires fetching the entire list of favorited post UIDs for the current user every time they enter the app. For a few tens or hundreds of favorited posts this doesn't seem to be an issue, but after a few years and thousands of favorites I'm thinking it might become a drag on data, memory and processing.
Are there more efficient best practices for this type of feature? The nice thing is it would apply to lots of other types of features as well, such as likes and friends lists.
Edit:
This is how my Firebase database is setup at the moment. Again, this structure currently does work for me, and I've had no issues with it yet, but I'm not sure if its scalable fetching the entire list of favoritedPostIds for the current user every time they log in. I am fully willing to restructure the entire database if there's a better way.
posts {
    post-1-UID {
        title: "post1",
        text: "blah"
    },
    post-2-UID {
        title: "post2",
        text:"blahblah"
    }
},
users {
    user-1-UID {
        name: "User1",
        email: "user1@email.com"
    },
    user-2-UID {
        name: "User2",
        email: "user2@email.com"
    }
},
favoritedPostIds {
    user-1-UID {
        post-2-UID: "2019-11-19T19:12:51.240GMT-05:00"
    },
    user-2-UID {
        post-1-UID: "2019-10-16T19:10:57.340GMT-05:00",
        post-2-UID: "2019-11-24T11:21:05.610GMT-05:00"
    }
}

A:
after a few years and thousands of favorites I'm thinking it might become a drag on data, memory and processing

In that case you should not retrieve favorite as user property, but rather as a property of a post. Your backend should store it in database in either way or even both (as property of user of as property of a post) and client would just get information was any particular post favorited by current user or not.
However it could be difficult to implement on backed side with Firebase database (especially if one post is added to favotites by thousands of users).
So I would suggest to store favorite data partially, like chunks of favorited posts ordered by post date or even in tree-like structure to get small part of favorite post ids by post id range. This would not affect most users, but some users might wait a little longer to get this information.


I would know when I make a new beneficiary of a bank transfer, in the first-time I need to put the account details, then in the second-time I need to put the address of the beneficiary.
I believe that the beneficiary's address is only for audit or regulatory purposes and doesn't affect the payment at all. For the purposes of making a payment, it's relevant only where the destination bank is, not where the account holder happens to live.

Ahfachkee celebrates end of school year
by Brett Daly - June 29, 2012 April 13, 2015
BIG CYPRESS — The last day of the 2011-2012 school year on May 31 marked two big celebrations at Ahfachkee School: the D.A.R.E. graduation and the Fourth Quarter Awards Ceremony.
The morning kicked off with students from kindergarten, third, fifth and sixth grades meeting in the cafeteria to receive their awards for the completion of D.A.R.E., a nationwide program that gives children the skills they need to avoid involvement in drugs, gangs and violence.
School Resource Officer Michele Short teaches the 10-week course at Ahfachkee once a week, tailoring the content to each grade level. Kindergarteners learn to avoid strangers and third-grade students learn about bullying, while the fifth- and sixth-grade students learn how to resist peer pressure and live drug- and violence-free lives.
Fifty-eight students graduated from the program.
"I challenge you to take on the mission of D.A.R.E.," principal Lucy Dafoe said to the students. "I want you to remember exactly what your education taught you."
During the graduation, fifth-grade student Mya Cypress and sixth-grade students Mazzy Robbins and Ethan Balentine also received special recognition for winning the essay contest Officer Short assigned the students. Each student wrote an essay explaining why they would stay drug-free.
"I think knowledge is power," Officer Short said. "The joint effort of law enforcement, school and parents is essential [in keeping kids drug-free]. It's important for students and schools to have a resource like this available to them."
After the students received their D.A.R.E. certificates, they headed to the Herman L. Osceola Gymnasium for the Fourth Quarter Awards Ceremony. Principal Dafoe brought in hypnotist Glenn Miller to entertain the students.
Twenty-four students, teachers and parents volunteered to get hypnotized and lined up in seats inside the gym. Miller instructed them to sit with their feet flat on the floor and close their eyes, telling them to feel "loose, limp and lazy."
At Miller's instruction, hypnotized volunteers pretended to be super models, famous singers, including Michael Jackson and Britney Spears and even the Village People. Ahfachkee teacher Jonelle Pollard was made to believe a blow-up alien doll was the man of her dreams.
Once the entertainment concluded, students ate lunch and received recognition for their hard work during the fourth quarter in attendance, behavior, academics, citizenship, culture and GPA. Principal Dafoe congratulated the students and encouraged them to gear up for the upcoming school year.
"Be ready to commit to your next grade level," she said.

Every journey has a reason. I've flown all the way to Argentina to celebrate Malbec wine, and to Bhutan to learn about responsible tourism. Sometimes the purpose of our travel is clear. There's an article to be written. There's a chef to be interviewed. But other times, the reason surfaces as your journey progresses.
Last week, I went took a trip to Pinamalayan, Mindoro, the hometown of my paternal grandmother. My grandmother was once Miss Mindoro. It made me smile to know she was both a beauty titlist and a female professor of Zoology at the UP. She had both beauty and brains. My mission in this trip was to take care of some matters for my family. Not an easy task, but luckily, I was in the company of my third cousins: Aileen and Andy. They lovingly treat me like a younger sister. And we enjoy each other's company. I've always thought we were second cousins, because they were always part of my life. Only in this trip did I learn we were third cousins. But because I like them so much I've they will always be my first cousins.
Pinamalayan is a small town with a population of only 82,000 people (based on the 2010 census). Much has changed since my last visit in the early 90's. The ferry now is much improved Fastcat ferry. It is definitely much better than the RoRo I rode before. It is definitely faster. It is more stylish with a business class section, and movie screenings. There are no longer people offering manicure and pedicure services on board. Arriving at Pinamalayan, the town has definitely grown. There are now more shops. The roads look wider and busier with more cars and jeepneys. There's even a Jollibee, a Mang Inasal, and a soon to open Red Ribbon. My cousin Andy reports though that the town still has no escalator.
The idyllic ricefield scenery still exists in Pinamalayan, Mindoro. Amorsolo would approve!
I was not here to assess modernity. But one cannot help but compare. My perspective has shifted too from a family trip in the 90's to this visit as an adult in my 40's. It has changed, so have I. Amidst the town's progress and modernity, I admired the few remaining heritage homes in Pinamalayan. Two houses still standing at the heart of downtown Pinamalayan belong to my relatives. As we drove around town, I marveled at the schools, including Abada (run by my cousins) with all classrooms air-conditioned and even archery for PE. The nursery had not only miniature chairs and tables, but also tiny toilet and sinks. (Oh, how I felt like a giant). I was even fascinated by how one senior high school in Pinamalayan had sailor moon inspired uniforms, with knee socks to boot. Talk about stylish! At mass, I felt the warmth of a small town parish. Everyone knew each other. The parish priest shared during his homily how he genuinely missed his flock when he traveled. His sentiments seemed really sincere, as he lingered for a long time after mass to connect with the parishoners after mass. The hub of the town is still the public market, with the frenzy happening on Wednesday, with most vendors present selling their supply of produce for the weekly bazaar.
Our meals were made fresh daily from meat from the public market. The cook, Daniel, was a hunky 24-year old guy. He was not too macho to do market shopping before dawn, or to cook authentic Filipino meals. He made Bistek (beef with onions, marinated in soy), and Nilaga with freshly slaughtered meat cabbage, corn, saba(Philippine cooking banana), and kamote (sweet potato). But his piece the resistance for me was his Kare-Kare. For most Filipinos, Kare-Kare means an oxtail stew made with peanut and ground rice, plus eggplants, string beans, banana palm and other vegetables. What shock I had when Daniel served us a plate the Mindoro Kare-Kare, think of it as Dinugan (pork blood stew with banana palm). It was absolutely delicious. Just the right sourness and flavor! I was so impressed with Daniel and want to make him the poster child for all Filipino men. In my head this is how the modern Filipino man should be: kind, respectful, fit, and a great cook. I wish his tribe would increase all over the archipelago.
Daniel, my poster boy for the ideal Pinoy Macho Man: Goes to the Market at Dawn, Cooks Well, Kind, and FiT!
One unique find was Nanay Goya's Garden Restaurant, which served typical Filipino dishes like Sinigang, Adobong Kang Kong, and Crispy Pata in an alfresco setting. Don't miss out on my favorite dish there, the Tofu Inasal. I've always loved the flavors of grilled Chicken Inasal. Cooking cubes of Tofu in Inasal Marinade and serving it with the same sawsawan (sauce) made of soy sauce, calamansi (Philippine citrus) and spiced vinegar, is genius. It is so simple, but so delicious!
Pinamalayan is known for its bananas. They have the best Saba, cooking bananas. And growing up, John-Nette banana chips were the favorite pasalubong from Pinamalayan. I always had a pack, my officemates often teased my dad must be John and my mom, Nanette. Not true at all! But the banana chips are really delicious, not too sweet, and not at all oily. Every bite is crunchy and so addictive. Before you know it, you've finished a pack. Aileen's favorite is the Sinolbot, which is minatamis na saging in Tagalog. The saba is cooked in brown sugar. But this saba is chewy and not at all soggy. They tell me the trick is in using white saba bananas, abundant in Mindoro.
Pinamalayan's famous Saba (cooking bananas), but I prefer eating them raw. I brought these home!
You get to know a place through its people. While you may read as much as you can about a place, you learn its true essence from its people. As I stayed for a few days, I got to know the locals of Pinamalayan. Surprisingly, I expected to be introduced as the granddaughter of my beauty titlist grandmother. Instead, my cousins often said, "Apo siya ni Lola Choling," (The Granddaughter of Granda Choling). The locals nod their head, and have a knowing look. Lola Choling was my paternal grandmother's younger sister. They knew her in Pinamalayan for riding solo on horseback while holding her rifle. Yes, she was one tough woman! Later, when she got older she rode a tricycle instead. The image of her on that horse and her riffle was so powerful to the local folk, but more so to me. "So I guess the fierce strong woman" was really in my genes.
The day after the Supermoon, my cousins and I headed to the beach of Pinamalayan for a swim at dawn. Arriving in time for sunrise, the only other people on the beach were the fishermen. The sand is not white. But the charcoal grey sand was powdery soft and fine like Boracay's. As I stepped into the water for a swim, I looked up at the sky to see a Rainbow. It was a full glorious rainbow from end to end.
If only Lola Choleng could see me now!
Andy later tells me the legend of Pinamalayan. The name comes from the word, "Ipinamalay na" meaning it has been made known, or to make aware. The early settlers were said to have come from Marinduque. On their way to Mindoro, they encountered turbulent weather and lost their way. They prayed for deliverance and guidance. Their prayers were answered. The weather cleared and a rainbow appeared on the horizon guiding them to this abundant land. They cried, "Ipinamalay na." The rainbow led them to Lumambayan, where they settled. With good soil, they prospered in the very coastal area where we swam. This promised land is the land of my ancestors.
Of sunsets and rainbows… at Pinamalayan Beach (Unfortunately, I have no photo of rainbows as I was swimming when it appeared).
Later that day, as my cousins and I went about doing our errands, Andy drove through soft mushy land. Our vehicle got stuck deep in the mud. While his sturdy SUV is built for all terrain, it would not budge sinking deeper into the mud. In the company of four female passengers, Andy walked some distance to find help. He found two men to help. We tried pushing only to go deeper. It was much later that a trickling of a few other men came. So there I was grunting and channeling all the muscles I built in the gym to help push. Never mind, if the mud from the tire went straight to my arms and chest. Eventually, we got the car out of the mud, the vehicle and all its passengers filthy and soaked in mushy soil.
Off Road adventure…. and stuck deep in the mud!
When you are stuck in the mud (or even in life), the only solution is to PUSH!
But I've come to realize, I am a strong woman. Not just physically strong, but also a fierce personality like my legendary Lola Choling. People have called me matapang many times, a word in Filipino, which means strong, courageous, brave, audacious, or even fearless. I may not ride a horse and I've never held a riffle in my life. But I do know how to stand up for my rights. I'm no push over. And when people try to take advantage, I do stand my ground. When things get tough and I need an extra dose of fierceness, I will channel my inner Lola Choling.
While I may not have accomplished all I had set out to do for my trip, I left Pinamalayan with a deeper sense of my ancestry.
I'm not suggesting you all go to my cozy little provincial town. It's not a tourist destination and internet is very slow. But I recommend going on your own ancestral adventure. Get to know your roots. Learn about those who've come before you. Find out the legend of your ancestral town. And if you're lucky like me, your own adventure will involve believing in rainbows and your own promised land.

Nice blog! Pinamaleño here. Been searching for image of Mindoro Kare-Kare. I really want to show this to my friends since this is the Kare-Kare I know since chilhood. Now they can see one! Many Thanks!
Thanks to a fellow kababayan for reading my blog. It was my first time to try that Kare-Kare, and yes, it was delicious!
