In Buenos Aires, a city commits to a long-neglected neighborhood
Metropolitan Revolution
Bruce Katz, Alaina J. Harkness, and Andrew Altman Wednesday, July 27, 2016
Leadership changes in Argentina and its capital city of Buenos Aires in December 2015 marked the beginning of a significant political moment for urban governance and innovation. With the former mayor of Buenos Aires, Mauricio Macri, now Argentina's president and his former chief of staff, Horacio Rodriguéz Larreta, now the current mayor, for the first time in modern history the leadership of the country and its capital are aligned and focused on maximizing the potential of this metro region of more than 12 million people.
When we recently visited Buenos Aires, we found local leaders committed to economic transformation, governance reform, and global integration. It was especially evident in efforts, begun under the Macri mayoralty, to address spatial inequality through investments in the historically underserved southern half of the city.

The southwestern neighborhood of Parque Patricios Distrito Tecnológico, is the posterchild for these efforts. Historically challenged by a lack of transit connections, commercial activity, and security, the area was designated a "creative district" in 2008 and has recently benefited from key public investment efforts like commercial tax relief through 2034, a city Subte subway station, the Ecobici bike share system, and a host of publicly supported programs for entrepreneurs and residents. Two hundred forty businesses—a mix of software companies and major global consultancies like Tata, Accenture, and Deloitte—now call the neighborhood home. The district also houses a campus of Instituto Tecnológico Buenos Aires (ITBA), the prestigious engineering university, and other university extensions are in the works.
In perhaps the biggest development to date, in 2015 the mayor's office and its 1,200 city employees relocated from the city center to Parque Patricios, a signal of the government's desire to invest in the south. The Norman Foster + Partners-designed building is filled with light and young staffers, many of whom are new to government service. The government presence anchors a district filling with the types of industries likely to attract talented workers who have traditionally looked for opportunities outside of the country.

The city's investments have led to clear wins. The relocation of several hundred tech-oriented companies to the district constitutes a critical mass of innovation drivers focused on developing cutting-edge technologies, products, and services. Improvements in public safety and transit have benefited the 12,000-14,000 workers who spend their weekdays in Parque Patricios as well as its longtime residents. And the neighborhood is capitalizing on its enviable building stock of historic and renovation-friendly spaces, the kind of architecture being revalued in cities all over the world.
But the full potential of the district is yet to be realized. There are fewer restaurants and amenities than most would like, evidenced by the fact that few people stay in the neighborhood to socialize after the workday is over. Knitting together the physical fabric of the neighborhood will require the replacement of fences, walls, and other barriers with connecting elements such as bike paths, sidewalks, and pedestrian-oriented streets. Vibrant public spaces like the Parque Patricios itself could be programmed to attract more residents and commuters and encourage them to exchange ideas.

Intermediary institutions could improve the district's innovation ecosystem. Incubators facilitating research commercialization and startups would help ensure that businesses not only locate in the district but get their start there. Beginning with the city's plan for widespread public access to wi-fi, public places could become more digitally accessible. There is potential to use the district as a test bed for connected city technologies such as data-collecting street lights, waste collection, traffic management tools, and sensors to monitor air quality, water flows, and electricity use.
In Parque Patricios, many of the building blocks for equity-driven district-level revitalization are firmly in place. If the Macri administration can stabilize the national economy and promote business-friendly reforms at the federal level and the Larreta administration can build on established economic development and community improvement strategies, Buenos Aires has great potential to build on its competitive position as a gateway to growing Latin American urban markets. This position will help the city reclaim a place among the world's most dynamic urban economies, and do so in a way that benefits the local people and places that need it most.

Vicomte Ferdinand de Lesseps, född 19 november 1805 i Versailles, död 7 december 1894 på sitt gods Chesnaye nära Guilly i Indre, var en fransk diplomat, främst känd som skapare av Suezkanalen.

Biografi
Lesseps var 1834-38 fransk generalkonsul i Alexandria och förflyttades senare till Spanien. År 1848 blev han fransk minister i Madrid, men avgick följande år, sedan han under en särskild beskickning till Rom i syfte att försona den unga republiken med Frankrike i hemlighet motverkats av sin egen regering, som arbetade på Romerska republikens tillintetgörande. Inbjuden av Said Pascha till Egypten 1854, började han ägna sig åt genomförandet av den alltsedan forntiden förefintliga planen på Sueznäsets genomskärning. Han skrev verket Percement de l'isthme de Suez, exposé et documents officiels (1856), som förskaffade honom vicekungens koncession på företaget 1856. Den 23 april 1859 startade han detta jätteföretag, vilket han fullföljde trots en mängd politiska, tekniska och ekonomiska svårigheter, och kanalen invigdes 16-18 november 1869.

År 1887 lyckades Lesseps utverka Suezkanalens neutralisering. År 1879 utsågs han till ledare för Panamakanalens grävande, men de oerhörda kostnaderna förmådde honom att 1888 begära det internationella kanalbolagets försättande under administration. Sedan bolaget 1889 upplösts, väcktes mot dess styrelse 1892 rättegång för vissa tvetydiga penningmanipulationer, som ledde till, att han i februari 1893 dömdes till fem års fängelse och 3000 francs böter. Domen, som av åldersskäl ej verkställdes, upphävdes i juni samma år av högsta domstolen.

Lesseps ivrade även för omskapandet av Sahara till ett inhav, för anläggandet av en centralasiatisk järnväg Orenburg-Indien samt byggandet av en kanal genom norra Malacka. Han tilldelades en mängd utmärkelser för hans livsgärning, Suezkanalen. År 1870 blev han hedersborgare i London, 1873 ledamot av Franska vetenskapakademien och 1885 av Franska akademien. Av hans andra skrifter kan nämnas Lettres, journal et documents pour servir à l'histoire de l'isthme de Suez (fyra band, 1875-79; prisbelönt av Franska akademien) och Souvenirs de quarante ans, dédiés à mes enfants (två band, 1887). Hans staty restes i Port Said 1900.

Do you know what the best way to handle the remove and remove! situation, where you have 2 methods that do the same basic thing, I want to reference the documentation of the remove method and @see seems a bit to subtle.
@axsuul can you provide some reference for that assertion?
@nimylian To answer your question, I assume what @axsuul was referring to was primarily the "Class" section above, while not technically "incorrect", is outdated and deprecated.
It clearly states that the @attr, @attr_reader, and @attr_writer tags are deprecated in favor of @!attribute [r|w] tag.
The former tags still work perfectly well, and do not issue any errors or warnings, but are technically deprecated. Those new to YARD and learning its syntax using a cheat-sheet would be better served to learn the the "modern" tags, not deprecated tags that may or may not exist in future releases.
I have been keeping a forked version of this cheatsheet up to date here: https://gist.github.com/phansch/db18a595d2f5f1ef16646af72fe1fb0e Let me know if there's anything else that needs updating.


Hire Web Developers – Why YouTeam Best Choice for you?
How many companies specialized in software development do you know?
I won't justify you about any of these companies. But, after going through a lot, there could be a recommendation, It's YouTeam.
Wondering what is YouTeam, and how it could be useful for web developers?
YouTeam is founded in the year 2014, and it was working as a consulting company.
They were providing services and creating programs for different software in England. However, after a few months of work clients pushed developers to create their own HR-platform.
And with that, they have quickly expanded the number of users. Hence, today they have their specialists in more than thirty offices around Europe. That's huge, in a very short span of time.
Now, though you know what is YouTeam all about, let us go a further to know why it would be a great platform for you to hire a developer you are looking for.
To hire a developer to make an app, software or websites is never been easy at all. I lot of research required to get a skilled developer in the industry.
Though, there are several places where you hire a freelance web developer with ease but are they skilled enough to meet your projects need.
This is one of the questions for hundreds of users. In such scenario, it's would be really confusing to find web developers for startups. As they need best and skilled people to convert their startups into a working business. Isn't it?
They are always looking for qualified specialists who can really provide a solution to them on the inputs provided. And getting such from a freelance web developer is almost impossible. They do as you just narrate them.
YouTeam does not have freelancers. All the workers are holding into the offices. They communicate e-mail or Skype with clients to provide consultation or to get an order. The company always have free vacations and doors are open for every person who wants to join their team.
The Company YouTeam always find a developers who are skilled for work. In fact, it's too good as they do not have freelancers at all. So, saying that you can easily hire dedicated developers for the software you want to develop.
YouTeam developers are working officially and their skills are completely verified, unlike freelance sites where there are always some loopholes manipulating the profiles.
Their skills directory is quite huge in several categories. You can find software engineers with a varied skill set on a single platform. What could be easier than this?
You know that you will have handsome payment for each and every order that you have been allocated with. And there will be no problems with communicating with the clients as well for any further inputs. All developers are works under one roof and are provided with the similar work atmosphere.
On the official website of YouTeam, you can find all needed information for customers and employees. People who only start working with the company could order a free 20-min consultation as well. And that is worth thousands.
All personal information will not be used anywhere else, for the sake of individuals privacy. You can be sure that you are not working with the swindlers.
Nevertheless, if you are still not sure if you want to work with YouTeam or not, you can look on all their projects as well. So, there are no boundary lines around, that itself can make any developer realize how good it could be.
YouTeam has finished thousands of successful programs and every single project was better than the other. Remember that they are finding only qualified developers.
We recommend you the company YouTeam because we know that they have good workers and their projects are always highly qualified. We are sure in their skills and hope you will enjoy the result of working with them.
First time learning about these services. They seem good. Not the best in the market, but they're good.
When it comes to wen developing, it's all about building what the customer needs and not necessarily what they want. In most cases, they don't know what they need and what they want might not yield the results they are looking for. So, a great web developer should understand this as well. If you are in it just for the money, you are not going to get far. Just saying!


Writing with access to thousands of recently released official documents, fresh interviews, and the perspective that can come only from a decade of research and reflection, Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan deliver the first panoramic, authoritative look back at 9/11.
For most living Americans, September 11, 2001, is the darkest date in the nation's history. What exactly happened? Could it have been prevented? How and why did so much acrimony and bad information arise from the ashes of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a quiet field in Pennsylvania? And what remains unresolved? What is certain: Discord and dissent continue to this day.
Beginning with the first brutal actions of the hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 11, The Eleventh Day tracks the precise sequence of events and introduces the players: pilots, terrorists, the airliners' passengers, and the innocents who died on the ground. Drawing on previously classified records and raw transcripts, Summers and Swan investigate the response of President Bush and the U.S. military that day, and the failure to intercept the hijacked airliners. They document the untruths told afterward by U.S. officials and, as a counterpoint, thoroughly consider the contentions of the "9/11 truth" movement. With meticulous research, they examine the personalities of the men behind the onslaught, analyze the motives that drove them, and expose the U.S. intelligence blunders that preceded the attacks. They note how afterward—without good evidence—the Bush administration persisted in trying to link 9/11 to Iraq. And they confront, finally, the question the 9/11 Commission's report blurred: Were the terrorists backed by powerful figures in another foreign nation—one the U.S. had long viewed as a friend?
Riveting, revelatory, and unforgettable, thoroughly sourced and complete with extensive endnotes, The Eleventh Day is the essential one-volume work on a pivotal event in our history.
Anthony Summers is the award-winning author of seven bestselling nonfiction books. Originally a journalist, he covered events in the United States and the conflicts in Vietnam and the Middle East for the BBC's flagship current affairs program.
Robbyn Swan, his co-author and wife, has partnered with Summers on three previous books--including biographies of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and President Richard Nixon. They have been consultants on documentaries for PBS, the History Channel, CNN, and the BBC.

Cara Delevingne Lick
Cara Delevingne, known for her modeling and acting career is also a host of little-known facts that make her stand out even more. From her battles with body image and depression as well as her explorations into the world of sexual toys and her willingness to talk about her pansexuality, here are 10 interesting facts about the multitalented Delevingne.
Despite her stunning beauty, Cara Delevingne struggled with anxiety and depression over her body throughout her youth. She faced ridicule for her small chest. She also began menstruating later than her peers, being called "frigid" and "flat". When she was 15 depression slowed her down and she had to temporarily leave school. In an interview with BBC she discussed the time she said, "I hated myself for being depressed, I hated feeling depressed, I hated feelings." But, Delevingne came from a extremely wealthy family and everyone thought she must be automatically happy, and they didn't understand her mental state.
Cara Delevingne had a difficult time understanding her sexuality as a child in a family that did not discuss it. For a time she found the idea of same-sex relationships to be disgusting and was considered herself a homophobe. When she spoke to The Guardian, Delevingne said, "I know I'm the luckiest girl in the world, I understand all this and I wish I could appreciate it. It's just that there's something dark inside me that I can't shake."
Delevingne considers herself pansexual and is in love with the person regardless of gender identity. She said she could be attracted to non-binary and transgender individuals. in an interview for Variety, Delevingne said, "However an individual identifies, whether it's a 'they', a 'he' or a 'she', I fall in love with the person – and that's what it's about. I'm attracted to the person as such."
In the year 2019, Delevingne got married in Las Vegas to actress Ashley Benson however, they later broke up. She has also been romantically linked to actress Michelle Rodriguez and singer Miley Cyrus. Her public display of her sexuality has been met with both praise and criticism.
Delevingne had to face opposition from producer Harvey Weinstein, who threatened her career if she didn't conceal her sexual orientation and seek out male partners for the role of a "cover". However, Delevingne didn't listen, and she continued to speak out about her sexuality and relationships.
Business with an Sex Toy Company
Delevingne is a part of a business partnership with a sex toy company and personally tests the products. She is open and unashamed about her involvement in the industry, and sees it as an opportunity to spread the message of sexual wellness and freedom.
Delevingne has a secret vaginal passageway in her house, which was a gift from a friend. The tunnel was created by an artist and serves as an image of female empowerment and freedom.
Delevingne recently stepped into the realm of NFTs by creating a video of her dancing in the secret vaginal tunnel inside her villa and sold it as a special digital collectible. The video showcases her daring and unafraid attitude and willingness to explore new avenues and break boundaries.
Despite some criticisms of her acting abilities, Delevingne continues to pursue her passion for acting. She has been featured in several films and TV shows like "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets," "Suicide Squad" and "Carnival Row" It's evident that Delevingne is not limited by others' opinions about her talents and skills and continues to push herself.
Delevingne's story is an inspiration for many. She's been candid regarding her struggle and her journey to acceptance of herself, and she's an example for others on how to be self-assured, regardless of what others might think or think. She has spoken out about body positivity and inclusion, and has used her platform to speak out for marginalized communities. Her actions demonstrate that it's okay to not have everything figured out and that it's okay to be different and unique.
Cara Delevingne began her career as a model at the age of 10 when she signed with Storm Model Management. She soon became famous and became one of the most sought-after models in the business as she walked for the most prestigious designers such as Burberry, Chanel, and Fendi. She's a model of how to transcending from a model to the status of a brand as well as how to create an impact in the fashion world.
Delevingne is also well-known for her charitable work. she has served as a global ambassador for the Women's Cancer Research Fund and actively promotes mental health charities and groups such as The Samaritans and the National Alliance on Mental Illness. In addition, she has donated to organizations fighting against discrimination and racism.
Delevingne has also been a professional musician and she has released numerous music videos and songs. She has collaborated with various artists like Pharrell Williams.
Delevingne is a popular presence on social media and is known for her candid posts and relatable content, which has allowed her to build a number of followers and fans.
Model turned actress
Delevingne has made the transition from a model to an actress and has received praise for her roles in films such as "The Face of an Angel" and "Tulip Fever".

A beautiful defense of academic freedom
In case you were not already aware, over the past couple weeks my alma mater Brooklyn College has been at the center of a controversial debate regarding academic freedom. In brief, the school's Political Science Department announced that it would be sponsoring, along with several campus groups, an event on February 7 featuring the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which aims to stop what it considers the Israeli oppression of Palestinians. The event drew fiery criticism from a range of prominent people. Lawyer Alan Dershowitz claimed the school was engaging in anti-Israel propaganda, and urged for the inclusion of pro-Israel voices, or else cancellation of the event. The New York Daily News agreed with Dershowitz. New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind called for Brooklyn College President Karen Gould to step down. And…

Catholic hospital reverses itself, says it was morally wrong to argue fetus is not a person
On Jan. 24, I posted about two news articles which revealed that, in an effort to evade a malpractice lawsuit, lawyers representing a group which owns a Catholic hospital in Colorado have been arguing, contrary to Catholic doctrine, that a fetus is not a person. Today, weeks after the story attracted widespread attention and criticism, it appears that the group, Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI), has changed its tune: "In the discussion with the Church leaders, CHI representatives acknowledged that it was morally wrong for attorneys representing St. Thomas More Hospital to cite the state's Wrongful Death Act in defense of this lawsuit. That law does not consider fetuses to be persons, which directly contradicts the moral teachings of the Church." It will be interesting to see if and how this…

Why atheists should care about poverty
Walker Bristol, a political philosophy student at Tufts University, wrote recently on the Huffington Post that atheists — especially those who identify as New Atheists — should focus less on buying billboard space and more on combating social inequality: Social justice is achieved through an alliance between sister causes. Not only must the atheist movement begin to openly care about and fight against class inequality and poverty, but they must do so by breaking down the divides between themselves and religious communities that share the same goal. The Foundation Beyond Belief, in facilitating philanthropic giving for humanist organizations, already sponsors a Poverty and Health charity each quarter, a beneficiary category which almost always receives the most donations of each of those supported by FBB. Local humanist organizations…

Should some people matter more than others?
In the past couple decades, prominent philosophers and social critics such as Peter Singer and Jeremy Rifkin have forcefully argued that humans must work to discard traditionally narrow, tribal thinking and extend their moral concerns to humans beyond just family, friends, and neighbors (as well as non-human animals). For example, Singer writes in his book "The Expanding Circle": "If I have seen … that from an ethical point of view I am just one person among the many in my society, and my interests are no more important, from the point of view of the whole, than the similar interests of others within my society, I am ready to see that, from a still larger point of view, my society is just one among…

The following quote is taken from Bertrand Russell's book The Conquest of Happiness (1930), a fabulous work in which Russell mixes philosophical analysis and practical thinking in order to help people cure unhappiness and find happiness. "The secret to happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile." I know many people will reply, "easier said than done." However, I would urge you to at least try keeping this thought in your mind as you go forth each day into the world, and see if it at all changes your behavior. You might be surprised by your findings.

A more basic sense of justice
I've just found on CNN.com an article exploring in more depth the research I mentioned in yesterday's post, which involves primatologist Frans de Waal and other scientists exploring through the study of chimpanzees whether humans are uniquely fair: You might think of "morality" as special for humans, but there are elements of it that are found in the animal kingdom, says de Waal — namely, fairness and reciprocity. His latest study, published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that chimpanzees may show some of the same sensibility about fairness that humans do. The popular belief that the natural world is based on competition is a simplification, de Waal says. The strength of one's immune system, and the ability…

Study sheds light on origins of human fairness
In an interesting follow to last week's post on the question of whether humans are uniquely violent (the answer: probably not), I have just come across a new study which explores the question of whether humans are uniquely fair (the answer: absolutely not). Here is the abstract: Is the sense of fairness uniquely human? Human reactions to reward division are often studied by means of the ultimatum game, in which both partners need to agree on a distribution for both to receive rewards. Humans typically offer generous portions of the reward to their partner, a tendency our close primate relatives have thus far failed to show in experiments. Here we tested chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and human children on a modified ultimatum game. One individual…

Meet … Michael De Dora
Recently I sat down for a video interview with Christopher Brown for his podcast, Meet the Skeptics. The podcast serves to introduces the skeptic community (i.e., people interested in scientific inquiry, especially as applied to pseudoscientific and paranormal beliefs and issues) to its public leaders. I qualify as director of public policy for the Center for Inquiry, an organization that advances reason, science, and secular values, and which has an affiliate called the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. In our discussion, Chris and I spoke about a range of things, including my deconversion from Catholicism, my time at FOX News (no, really), and my current work advocating for rationalism on Capitol Hill and at the United Nations. You can listen or watch the interview here.

Clarifying the continually controversial relationship between science, morality
Recently author and prominent skeptic Michael Shermer contributed to Edge.org's collection of essays on the question, "What Should We Be Worried About?" Shermer's answer: "The Is-Ought Fallacy of Science and Morality." We should be worried that scientists have given up the search for determining right and wrong and which values lead to human flourishing just as the research tools for doing so are coming online through such fields as evolutionary ethics, experimental ethics, neuroethics, and related fields. The Is-Ought problem (sometimes rendered as the "naturalistic fallacy") is itself a fallacy. Morals and values must be based on the way things are in order to establish the best conditions for human flourishing. Before we abandon the ship just as it leaves port, let's give science a chance to steer a course…

Catholic hospital argues, contrary to Catholic doctrine, that a fetus is not a person
It appears that even core religious dogmas are changeable when sticking to them might cost money. Take a look at this disturbing story in the Colorado Independent: Lori Stodghill was 31-years old, seven-months pregnant with twin boys and feeling sick when she arrived at St. Thomas More hospital in Cañon City on New Year's Day 2006. She was vomiting and short of breath and she passed out as she was being wheeled into an examination room. Medical staff tried to resuscitate her but, as became clear only later, a main artery feeding her lungs was clogged and the clog led to a massive heart attack. Stodghill's obstetrician, Dr. Pelham Staples, who also happened to be the obstetrician on call for emergencies that night, never answered a…

Cell phones and brain tumors: a review including the long-term epidemiologic data.Khurana VG, Teo C, Kundi M, Hardell L, Carlberg M.
Australian National University, Australia; Department of Neurosurgery, The Canberra Hospital, Garran ACT 2605, Australia.
BACKGROUND: The debate regarding the health effects of low-intensity electromagnetic radiation from sources such as power lines, base stations, and cell phones has recently been reignited. In the present review, the authors attempt to address the following question: is there epidemiologic evidence for an association between long-term cell phone usage and the risk of developing a brain tumor? Included with this meta-analysis of the long-term epidemiologic data are a brief overview of cell phone technology and discussion of laboratory data, biological mechanisms, and brain tumor incidence. METHODS: In order to be included in the present meta-analysis, studies were required to have met all of the following criteria: (i) publication in a peer-reviewed journal; (ii) inclusion of participants using cell phones for >/=10 years (ie, minimum 10-year "latency"); and (iii) incorporation of a "laterality" analysis of long-term users (ie, analysis of the side of the brain tumor relative to the side of the head preferred for cell phone usage). This is a meta-analysis incorporating all 11 long-term epidemiologic studies in this field. RESULTS: The results indicate that using a cell phone for >/=10 years approximately doubles the risk of being diagnosed with a brain tumor on the same ("ipsilateral") side of the head as that preferred for cell phone use. The data achieve statistical significance for glioma and acoustic neuroma but not for meningioma. CONCLUSION: The authors conclude that there is adequate epidemiologic evidence to suggest a link between prolonged cell phone usage and the development of an ipsilateral brain tumor.

Q: PHP: data-attributes to associative array using regex Essentially I want to take this string full of data-* attributes and turn them into an associative array where the * is the key and the value is the value. E.g.
'data-pageid="11" data-start="12" => [pageid=>'11',start=>'12]

So I've got this ugly regex code that looks like
$pattern = '/data-(\w+)=/';
$string = 'season';
preg_match_all($pattern,$string,$result);
$arr = array();
foreach($result[1] as $item){
    $pat = '/data-'.$item.'="(?P<'.$item.'>\w+?)"/';

    preg_match($pat, $string, $res);
    $arr[$item] = $res[1];
}
echo print_r($arr);

That prints out
Array
(
    [pageid] => 1242799
    [start] => 80
    [end] => 86
    [canon] => Season
    [toggle] => tooltip
    [placement] => top
    [type] => SPORTS_OBJECT_EVENT
)

There has to be a better way of doing this. Is there anyway to distill this into 1 regex function or am I stuck doing this.

A: You can use Named Capturing Groups and then use array_combine() ...
preg_match_all('~data-(?P<name>\w+)="(?P<val>[^"]*)"~', $str, $m);
print_r(array_combine($m['name'], $m['val']));

Output
Array
(
    [pageid] => 1242799
    [start] => 80
    [end] => 86
    [canon] => Season
    [toggle] => tooltip
    [placement] => top
    [type] => SPORTS_OBJECT_EVENT
)

Democrats and 'agenda' survey = failure to impress
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee thinks I'm either a true-blue state Democrat or a blithering idiot. It might be right on the latter, but this idiot will not be contributing to the DCCC any time soon.
The DCCC, over the signature of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, sent me the "2005 Democratic Agenda Survey." The envelope's exterior told me "here's your chance to let Democratic leaders know your concerns about the future."
Silly me. I actually believed – until I opened the survey – that the Democratic Party wanted to know what I think.
Here are some of the questions the DCCC asked me:
• "Non-partisan observers of Congress are calling the Republican leadership of the 109th Congress the most arrogant, unethical and corrupt in modern history. Do you agree or disagree with this assessment?"
• "Do you support Congressional Democrats using filibusters and other tactics to block the most extreme Republican legislation or the worst of President Bush's judicial nominees?"
• "President Bush's privatization plan will cut benefits promised to seniors by as much as 46 percent. How worried are you about making ends meet in retirement if Social Security is privatized?"
• "The Republicans recently took the first step towards opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil drilling. Do you favor or oppose the Democrats' efforts to protect ANWR and other public lands from oil drilling?"
• "How do you feel about the Bush administration's relaxation of Clear Air Act pollution controls?"
• "The Republican Medicare bill prohibits Americans from re-importing less expensive prescription drugs from Canada. Do you think this was intended to protect Americans or pharmaceutical companies?"
Did you notice, perchance, a bit of attitude in the questions? Surely, if the DCCC wanted my opinion, it would not have asked these questions with their attendant bias of enmity for the Republic Party. Good, sound survey research does not ask biased questions. It does not ask double-barreled questions. It does not presuppose an answer.
Sorry. I forgot that I was being surveyed by a political arm of the Democratic Party, not by Zogby or Harris or Gallup.
The question that irritated me most asked:
"What is the most important priority for Democrats in Congress right now?"
Only four possible answers could be checked: "Terrorism. New Jobs. Affordable Health Care. Better Schools."
Suppose I believed that other issues warranted Democratic Party priority? The survey did not provide an "other" check box in which I could have given my priorities. Instead, I could not tell the DCCC that the slow death of the American family farm should be reversed. I could not tell it that illegal immigration needs Democratic attention. I could not tell the DCCC that that it ought to seek term limits on senators and representatives to keep some of these morons off the Hill.
The Democrats don't want me to think. They just want me to agree with them. And they want me to pay for that "privilege" of agreeing as well in the form of a contribution.
Oh? I didn't mention the pitch for dollars? The entire first page of the "Democratic Agenda Survey" asks for a contribution. It had boxes I could check for $15, $25, $35, $50 and $100. And here, indeed, I got a box marked "other" if I chose to donate more.
The Democratic Party won't get one red (or blue) cent from me. (Neither will the Republican Party, but that's a future screed.) If this survey represents how the Democratic Party wishes me include me in its ranks, it failed miserably. All it had to sell in this survey was a bitter point of view about the world: It's all the Republicans' fault. Everything. Blame it on the Red States.
It's not that simple. As long as the Democratic Party (and the GOP, too) believe politics is only about taking sides, about being right and the other guy being wrong, then we'll all remain in deep doodoo.
It's time to tell our two major political parties to stop their flagellation of each other and to do more honest listening to people whose lives government policy affects.
And stop sending these idiotic surveys.

UCB to sell its U.S. specialty generics business Kremers Urban to Advent International and Avista Capital Partners for US$ 1,525 million
Further step to enhance focus on UCB's core business in CNS and immunology
Proceeds to increase flexibility for reduction of net debt and/or strategic investments
2014 financial outlook for core business unchanged, adjusted for Kremers Urban exit
Brussels (Belgium), 7 November 2014 – 07:00am (CET) – regulated information – UCB, Advent International ("Advent") and Avista Capital Partners ("Avista"), two leading private equity firms with a strong healthcare focus, today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement providing for the acquisition of UCB's US specialty generics subsidiary, Kremers Urban Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("KU"), by Advent and Avista. UCB will receive gross cash proceeds of US$ 1 525 million upon closing, subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. UCB plans to use the proceeds from this divestiture to reduce indebtedness and increase the company's capacity strategic investments, to further accelerate growth and/or to further strengthen its innovative medicines pipeline.
"This is another step for UCB to enhance focus on our core business in neurology and immunology," said Roch Doliveux, CEO of UCB. Jean-Christophe Tellier, CEO-Elect of UCB added: "Our growing core business and UCB's progressing early and late-stage pipeline now allow us to focus even more on providing innovative solutions to patients living with severe diseases."
"Kremers Urban has been an important enabler to build UCB's core business. We thank our Kremers Urban colleagues for the excellent performance they have delivered," said Detlef Thielgen, CFO of UCB. "It's now the right time from a value perspective to focus on our core business and to offer Kremers Urban further growth opportunities with two strong organizations that are well equipped to help Kremers Urban continue to grow. UCB's adjusted financial outlook for 2014 is unchanged for the core business; however it is now taking into account the exit of the Kremers Urban business."
The purchase price is payable to UCB in cash upon closing. This transaction announced today has been unanimously approved by UCB's Board of Directors and is expected to close by the first quarter 2015, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Following this agreement to divest KU, the KU assets are treated differently within UCB's group accounts: KU will be treated as 'discontinued operation' from 1 January 2014 onwards; hence it will also no longer be included in the key performance indicators for UCB's recurring underlying performance. UCB estimates today that the financial outlook for 2014 – while stable for UCB's core business - changes to the following, reflecting the exit of KU: total revenue of approx. € 3.15-3.25 billion, underlying profitability (recurring EBITDA) of € 590-620 million and core earnings per share (Core EPS) of € 1.40-1.55. The gain on the divestiture of KU and the net profit of KU for the period will be reported under 'discontinued operations', hence increasing significantly UCB's net profit line for the period. More details of the IFRS impact of this transaction will be disclosed as part of the 2014 results and the Annual Report 2014 publication, scheduled for 27 February 2015.
Lazard is acting as lead financial advisor to UCB, BNP Paribas is acting as additional financial advisor and Covington & Burling LLP is acting as legal counsel to UCB.

Q: WSS_Logging database size Our sharepoint server 2010 WSS_Logging database is about 100GB and counting ...
(Farm DB ~1TB / ~100 000 pages viewed per day / ~5000 unique users per days)
I've reduced

*

*retention and logging levels for all services (through the central sharepoint admin for logging files) to 6 days

*Logging/Usage consolidation to 6 days (through powershell)

I assume this is usage data collection which take the more place, but these data are also used for Web Analytics
Is there any scenario for "large" sharepoint farm & usage data management ? I can't find reference/white paper on this topic.

A: These guidance posts may be helpful as scenarios can vary  -

*

*5 Best Practices to Configure Diagnostic Logging with PowerShell Commands

*Best practices for operational excellence

*Best practices for capacity management
UPDATE:
 Usage logging databases require ongoing maintenance. You can plan on how it's going to be used by selecting the tracing variables and other parameters and also by periodic clean-up tasks (archiving) using PowerShell or other utilities. There's a Sharepoint 2010 Capacity Planning and Sizing Tool that can be helpful in gauging your deployment.

Do you have a negative reaction every time you see your partner do something stupid, especially a repeated behavior that literally drives you up a wall?
The next time you want to jump on your partner for a misstep, try this: instead of unconsciously remembering all the reasons you have for opposing them in that moment, do your level best to remember where and how you have missed the mark in a similar way. Consciously choosing to recollect your similarity with your partner's character not only disarms the part of you about to pounce upon it, but this level of self-honesty also dispels the illusion of difference imagined between the two of you, replacing it with a compassionate consideration born of wisdom and love.
Does your partner do things that make you so angry? And then you wonder if it's wrong for you to step up and to speak your mind about how you feel?
It's not wrong to speak up, but realize there's a big difference between bringing up an issue, some concern you have with your partner, and striking back at them in pain over what you would blame them for. In other words, it's not so much what you say, but "who" – what part of you– starts talking for you in that moment. Here's one good way to ensure that you choose the right time for engaging your partner over any problem brewing between the two of you: wait, patiently – even if it takes twenty-four hours –until whatever part of you that feels compelled to blame, or that wants to complain, subsides. By following these instructions, you'll be aware of your negative state, instead of acting as its unconscious instrument.
Does it seem like your partner likes to fight? Try as you may to stay detached, they always manage to drag you into an argument, and you wonder how you can get them to see what they're doing to your relationship.
But let's be honest here. Blaming someone else's anger for our inability to remain above and untouched by its negative influence is like resenting a rain cloud for getting us wet when we walk outside and into its downpour. The only thing that can drag us into a fight with our partner, regardless of what they want to fight with us over, is an in-the-dark part of us that's secretly been waiting for a good fight. If you really want to stop fighting, and free both of you at the same time, then set the following intention, here and now, as if your life depends on it: no matter what, refuse to climb into the ring the next time they want to rumble. The more you're able to observe these parts of yourself that are so easily enticed to fight, the clearer it will become who you can no longer afford to be. And once you're able to stay out of the ring, then who is left there for your partner to fight with? No longer having any opponent, your partner will be able to see – and hopefully set down – the same parts in them that you did. Peace will fall onto your house.

Nonprofit Brings New Books to Underserved Students
YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO LEARN that some of LA's public school libraries have as few as three books per child, while the libraries themselves are dreary spaces long overdue for improvement.
Rebecca Constantino, Ph.D., launched Access Books in 1999 to transform public school libraries in underserved neighborhoods by removing old, tattered books and replacing them with brand new, popular, relevant hardcover books. They also improve library spaces with literacy-themed murals, a reading couch and new carpeting. Rebecca explains: "No matter where they live, every child deserves access to high-quality books and the popular
titles they love to read. Books and libraries can be a refuge and source of emotional support for students."
Access Books refurbishes each library on a single Saturday with the help of 50-75 volunteers. Each recipient school is matched with another school that conducts a book drive and provides volunteers to help sort and shelve books and paint murals.
By contributing to an Access Books library makeover, you help create better opportunities for LA's most vulnerable children and a better future for all of us.

Once again we see Momoiro Clover Z, the band who will be performing the theme song for the new anime set to premier in July, performing Moonlight Densetsu. They have previously performed this song twice live and this version sounds much better, having been cleaned up in a studio.
We discussed Mitsuko Horie and Shoko Nakagawa in our first post about this album and then talked about Mariko Goto, Haruko Momoi and Tommy Heavenly6 when more details were announced. With this latest news we have five more artists joining the list with Haruka Fukuhara, Etsuko Yakashimaru, Avu-chan, Makoto Kawamoto and Clémentine. Read on more more on each of these artists.

A bonus French version of Moonlight Densetsu is also included on this CD sung by Clémentine. Clémentine is a French language singer who primarily works in Japan.

After I sent him an email, he readily replied twice in a day. He asked for sorry and said that he loves me. Of course that is pretty common if he commits a mistake. Anyway, the reason why I got stood up last Sunday was he got so entertained playing billiards with his friends that he forgot about his dinner and me. He said he wanted to look for something to entertain him because he is missing us so much. Well, I guess men are always ready to say great excuses!
Oh well, I didn't mind everything actually. What I was very concerned about was his commitment to pursue our plans to get united again. If you remembered last June 2008 that I moved out with the kids just to rest from his vices. Then later last year, I moved in back and he proved that he has changed but somehow when January 2009 came he started fading away again. So, I emailed him if he is decided to pursue. Then he replied that we should hurry back home because he misses us already and needs us to be with him. Hmmm… sweet eh?
Tomorrow my children, my nephew and I will be leaving for Bacolod. It will be a one day travel because we will be passing by Dipolog and Iloilo. Just to be honest, even how terrible my hubby makes me feel at times, I really do love him. I am angry for awhile but dead in love for a lifetime. So I can't deny the fact that I am so excited to see him again.
huh? now namo larga?wat tym man?dawbi ang gift ni micah?
ate, pila imo baligya sa imo portable smart bro modem?
ingat sa byahe. if you need someone to talk to, im just a buzz away.
hmm.. wondering what are your husband's vices. Is it just hanging out with friends?
I sincerely hope that you and your husband will be able to settle your issues and that you will have a safe travel back to Bacolod.
Wala na akong ma say Mami R…. hope everything turns out well for you….
as long as you're happy and the kids are happy, we're happy for you too!
your husband is really a lucky guy having such a devoted wife like you!
Ganyan talaga ang in love Mommy R. A pregnant Mom like you should not be travelling.
