Black Lives Matter – Except Biram Dah Ould Abeid's

Deafening silence greets Mauritanian anti-slavery activist's three-year prison sentence.
It is a curious study in contrasts.
American cities are currently experiencing continuous outbreaks of violence and arson in the wake of disputed police shootings by white officers of African-Americans. The violent protests purport to be inspired by the desire to save black lives, but, in the end, as history has well taught us, these destructive uprisings will take the lives of more blacks than those they allegedly seek to save.
Meanwhile, in the West African country of Mauritania, a fearless but unknown anti-slavery activist, Biram Dah Ould Obeid, is going to prison for the next three years. A black African, he has saved more black lives than all the rioters and race hucksters in America put together. But Dah Obeid has never destroyed any property, started any fires or assaulted anyone for his cause. So what is his "crime"? He peacefully protested against the obscenity of Islamic slavery and Arab racism that scar his nation.
Dah Obeid, whose father was a slave, had his appeal to dismiss his three-year prison sentence turned down earlier this month by a Mauritanian court. He was arrested with two aides last November for holding an anti-slavery demonstration. Convicted on spurious charges in January, he received a three-year prison sentence. The two aides also received jail terms and had their appeals turned down as well.
OFFICIALLY ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF MAURITANIA
Mauritania, officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, is a country in the Maghreb region of western North Africa. It is the eleventh largest country in Africa and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Morocco and the remnants of Western Sahara in the north, Algeria in the northeast, Mali in the east and southeast, and Senegal in the southwest.
The country derives its name from the ancient Berber Kingdom of Mauretania, which existed from the 3rd century BC to the 7th century, in the far north of modern-day Morocco. Approximately 90% of Mauritania's land is within the Sahara and consequently the population is concentrated in the south, where precipitation is slightly higher. The capital and largest city is Nouakchott, located on the Atlantic coast, which is home to around one-third of the country's 3.5 million people. The government was overthrown on 6 August 2008, in a military coup d'état led by then-General Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz. On 16 April 2009, Aziz resigned from the military to run for president in the 19 July elections, which he won.
About 20% of Mauritanians live on less than US$1.25 per day. Mauritania suffers from several human rights issues, including slavery, where an estimated roughly 4% (155,600 people) of the country's population are being enslaved against their will, especially enemies of the government.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sends surprise message to UEFA over Europa League preference
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has spoken out on his team's upcoming Europa League tie with La Liga side Real Sociedad after complaints from the Spanish club
Jeremy CrossChief Sports Writer
Don't wait around for updates - sign up for our daily football email newsletter today!
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he would be prepared to play a one-off game against Real Sociedad in the Europa League.
Sociedad's director of football Roberto Olabe has hit out at UEFA after they moved the first leg of the clash to Turin due to travel restrictions caused by the pandemic.
The two sides were due to meet at Sociedad's Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian next Thursday - but United are prevented from entering Spain.
The first leg will now take place at Juventus' Allianz Stadium in Turin - with the return leg still being played at Old Trafford.
UEFA hit back at Real Sociedad after complaints of Man Utd bias in Europa League
Olabe has labelled the decision 'unfair' because United still get their home advantage - and wants the game to be played on a neutral venue.
Solskjaer admits Olabe is right and that United will have an advantage when it comes to trying to reach the next round.
He would agree to just one game at a neutral venue - and admits it would help United because it would be one less match for his stars to play in.
He said: "With Europe, we hope it's going to be sustainable, with different governments and the travel in Europe is difficult.

"It's not a decision we made, but when one game is at a neutral venue it's a disadvantage to the team that doesn't have the home game.
"That's out of our hands, so we can't say we'd go to Turin and play one game. But I wouldn't mind that at all, it would be one game less.
"That's what we did last season. We met somewhere neutral and made it a tournament. If we keep home and away going, as I said, we do have a little advantage.
"It's a disadvantage for Sociedad of course to have home game in Turin, so for me I wouldn't stand in the way (of having a one-off game). But there's probably other reasons why we don't."

Nothing is more important than the health of your children. A child's experience with his or her dentist leaves a lasting impression that has a significant impact on future dental health. Our entire staff is dedicated to making your child's visit a pleasant and positive experience. We help your child become comfortable with our office environment and carefully explain the purpose and benefits of a visit to the dentist. We emphasize the need for good dental care at home every day.
A child's first visit to the dentist should be enjoyable and positive. The more you and your child know about the first visit, the better you will feel. Children are not born with a fear of the dentist, but they can fear the unknown. Our office makes a practice of using pleasant, non-frightening, simple words to describe your child's first dental visit and treatment. We want you to feel at ease from the moment your family arrives at our office. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), children should visit the dentist by their first birthday. We often see patients after their first birthday and will take our time to make them feel comfortable no matter what age.
As new teeth erupt, examine them every two weeks for lines and discoloration caused by decay. Remember that sugary foods and liquids can attack a new tooth, so make sure that your child brushes their teeth after feeding or eating. We recommend brushing four times a day for optimal oral hygiene: after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner, and at bedtime. Brushing can be fun, and your child should brush as soon as the first tooth arrives. When a baby's tooth erupts, parents should brush the tooth with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. For children younger than two, do not use fluoride toothpaste unless advised to do so by your dentist or other health professional. We suggest reviewing proper tooth brushing procedures with your child. Flossing is also a part of good oral hygiene habits, and we will discuss with you the right time to start flossing. If you notice signs of decay, contact us immediately.


Sorry, Sara, I've got to post another map. After three and a half years of living in Congo, I've collected three and a half years of stories about people assuming we really mean South Africa. It's kind of funny, really. On a visit back home in Kansas once, I caught my Dad saying repeatedly that I lived in South Africa. I finally wrestled out of him why he was saying this. For one, it's not too easy to say "the Democratic Republic of the Congo"—it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. (Which is why I almost always shorten it to just Congo; technically incorrect too, but it's a place to start.) For another, he figures most people would have trouble relating to something so remote. South Africa is not just easier to say, it's easier to hear.
Well, we are charging forward with our Africa plans! Sébastien arrived in Congo last week, where he'll spend the next month transitioning into his new job as manager of exploration. He'll come back to join me at my MBA graduation on August 20, we'll take the following week or so to pack up the house, and then we're off! We're renting the house to a good friend, have one vehicle left to sell, and no idea when we will come back. One year is the minimum target unless something goes south in the company's current renegotiation with the Congolese government… but if we can handle it, we'd like to be able to stay for two or three.

Sixth-generation iPod touch revisited: is it still worth it in 2019?
Christian Zibreg on January 21, 2019
Three years ago, iDownloadBlog reviewed Apple's sixth-generation iPod touch, an iPhone-like device without the phone part that came in a range of vibrant colors at a low starting price of just $199 for the 32-gigabyte version, but is it still worth it today?
That's what our video editor Harris Craycraft set out to find out by revisiting Jeff's original review of the sixth-generation iPod touch with a fresh pair of eyes. The sixth-generation iPod touch released on July 15, 2015. As a quick refresher, the device runs Apple's dual-core 64-bit A8 chip from September 2014 (whose revised variant powers the fourth-generation Apple TV).
Why won't Apple give us a pink iPhone?
It's got a four-inch 1,136-by-640 pixel screen at 326 ppi, 800:1 contrast ratio and 500 cd/m2 max brightness. The front camera does 720p video recording but takes crappy selfies at just 1.2 megapixels. The back camera is an eighth-megapixel sensor with 1080p video recording and slo-mo video capture at 120 frames per second (not bad for a 2015 device).
Before diving deeper, give Harris's new video a quick watch.
One of the allures of the device is its impossibly thin and light appearance along with a range of vibrant finishes on its anodized aluminum housing: Space Gray, Gold, Silver, Pink, Blue and PRODUCT(RED). Most importantly, the sixth-generation iPod touch is the most affordable iOS device that starts at the psychologically important price point of less than $200 for the 32-gigabyte edition, which climbs to $299 if you need 128 gigabytes of storage.
Three years ago, our former video guy Jeff Benjamin went hands-on with Apple's media player so be sure to check out the unboxing experience and watch his full review, embedded below, which asked the same question—is it worth your money?
This is of course something you'll have to decide for yourself.
An iPhone without the phone part
I personally am a big fan of the iPod touch line and wish Apple hadn't stop promoting it as a handheld gaming console and an all-around iOS machine. If I had kids, this is the very first iOS device I'd get them. iPhones are much more expensive and require a wireless contract so iPod touch is the perfect training wheels for the smartphone.
Envisioning a seventh-generation iPod touch with a modern appearance
Apple used to advertise iPod touch as an iPhone without the phone part, but that's not telling the whole truth because the media player lacks some other features commonly found on iPhones. For instance, iPod touch lacks an ambient light sensor so its battery tends to deplete at a much faster clip because the display isn't power managed (due to their very thin enclosure, iPod touches have always had a significantly smaller battery than iPhones).
The iPod touch family also lacks a hardware ringer switch (you can set it to silent via Control Center) and the GPS (Location Services are supported via Wi-Fi, but they're not as accurate as with dedicated GPS hardware).
A better iPod touch
iPod touch could benefit a lot from Apple's current technologies.
Aside from upgrading the main chip to one of Apple's Bionic-series procesors that feature hardware acceleration for machine learning tasks, I'd give it Face ID along with that nearly fullscreen design complete with the notch and no Home button. Stereo speakers should be a must in a media consumption device so that's another possible improvement.
I don't think adding the GPS would benefit the device's use cases but if Apple could pull it off without raising the price, then I'm all for it (that missing ambient light sensor should definitely be on Apple's list along with better cameras with support for augmented reality apps).
How an iPod touch with a 7-inch AMOLED display might fit in Apple's iOS device lineup
As a matter of fact, a recent report from Japanese blog Mac Otakara alleged that Apple might be working on a seventh-generation iPod touch so there's that. Coincidentally or not, iPad mini could see a refresh this year and it too has had no new version since 2015.
Should iPod touch make a comeback in 2019, it could resemble a brilliant concept from Anton Kriliov, seen above, that merges the diminutive iPad mini and iPod touch into the ultimate iOS device with a massive seven-inch screen.
Now, such a device would address a lot of Apple's problems in China and elsewhere.

Gene Rains
Far Across The Sea
Even if you consider his short discography of three entries plus one Best Of album where Gene Rains has been the bandleader, Far Across The Sea remains more under the radar than any of his other offerings. Released in 1961 about one year after the fan favorite Lotus Land, Rains stays true to his formula and delivers a tropical Exotica record that is as near to the eclectic Jazz scene as it is far away from euphonious Easy Listening shores.
The words I quipped about Lotus Land remain true in regard to Far Across The Sea: this album is best enjoyed by a skilled Exotica lover with a little bit of background knowledge about the 12 classics that are presented by the Gene Rains Group, for their layers are varied and often times rather complex, but turn out to be successful, colorful renditions once you are able to link them to the interpretations of other artists. On top of that, the album is special for the substitution of pianist Paul Conrad who left the group in order to launch a short-lived, ephemeral solo career that culminated in another sought-after Exotica album, Exotic Paradise from 1963. Bryon L. Peterson takes over Conrad's part while Archie Grant Jr. keeps on slapping the bass, Allen Watanabe is beating the drums and of course Gene Rains is delivering a coruscating performance on the vibraphone.
Despite a certain tendency in complexity, four stylistic shifts are apparent in contrast to Lotus Land: firstly, the group comes up with an even dreamier style. The vibes are more clearly in the spotlight than before which leads immediately to the second change, namely the presentation of slower, more laid back pieces. However, don't misinterpret the dreaminess as a streamlined whitewashed flavor of irrelevance! The sustain of the vibes coupled with their interaction with the placid drums and the gentle bass is convoluted enough to impress the listener with lushness and resplendence. Thirdly, 25% of the album consist of theme songs, some of them very new and exciting to contemporary listeners and surely integrated in order to boost album sales. Lastly, a glaring reduction of the jovial bird calls is one of Gene Rains' rare missteps in my humble opinion, for they were so skillfully interwoven with the shimmering aura on most tracks off Lotus Land, bolstering and augmenting its vividness while pushing it nearer to the works of Martin Denny and Arthur Lyman – whether that's a weakness or a selling point is up to you. Read on why my personal nickname for Far Across The Sea is The Dreamy Album.
Far Across The Sea, the title-giving track best known for being performed by Hawaiian legend Alfred Apaka, the discoverer of Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman and Gene Rains, starts with polyphonous vibraphone glints and shimmering wind chimes that drive the tropical illusion further. Peterson's backing piano notes and Watanabe's exotic percussion are subordinates to Rains' easy-going performance on the vibes, its melodies traversing for very short times to Far Eastern lands, but otherwise remaining in faux-Polynesian realms.
Busy Port off Denny's iconic Exotica record is presented next and is one of Rains' very few lively skits on the album. The classic melody is unexpectedly played on a xylophone rather than the vibes that are used for short interludes and bridges. Watanabe delivers his most audible performance on the maracas, claves and bongos. Even though this version is quite lively, Arthur Lyman's interpretation on his 1959 album Bahia still takes the cake by being more exuberant due to additional chants and bolder, punchier vibraphones. Tropic Trade Winds is the first real winner to my mind, starting with mysterious vibes and loud hand cymbals while background claves and a possible field recording of highly chirping birds is added – no human could create such noises, but I wouldn't bet on this perception. The rest of the track consists of extremely dreamy vibraphone notes that almost seem to be improvisations. I like this song so much because of its omission of a catchy melody. It is all about the ambience, and the permanent repetition of the bird calls further amplify the paradisiac atmosphere. If you are a fan of the dreamy side of vibraphone-laden Exotica, this is a top pick!
Love Theme From The World Of Suzie Wong is a highly contemporary addition that refers to the 1960 movie starring William Holden and Nancy Kwan and puts the focus on Peterson's swirling piano notes; it is nonetheless drowned by the plasticity of the vibes most of the time, especially so on the second half of the song. The inclusion of the theme is even exotic by Exotica standards and for this reason alone makes this another standout track, although I'm not too fond of the melody because it never causes me to hum along with it, no matter how often I listen to it – as I've written, Far Across The Sea is no Easy Listening album, and the Love Theme isn't either.
Strange Cargo is presented in a vivified form, with the staccato drums in the limelight juxtaposed to superb bongo intermissions and clearly audible bass slaps by Grant Jr. Still, Rains' vibes are yet again the carrying main ingredient, whereas Sayonara is a magnificent Far Eastern mélange of swirling pianos, lucent vibraphone melodies and a gorgeous koto that is, alas, only briefly played. The teamwork is specifically worth mentioning, for no instrument is on the foreground here. All in all, another top choice for fans of the Far Eastern flavor.
Adventures In Paradise is a tremendously melodious interpretation of the catchy theme that is very close to my heart, and it is as diverse in its instrumentation as Sayonara is, and though there are no particularly exotic instruments, the piano-vibraphone combo delivers a very romantic, majestic and care-free interpretation. Tango Tahiti is a dreamy rendition that has next to nothing to do with a tango, but consists of beautifully cascading backing vibes that work well with their brethren in the foreground. Despite the careful percussion, there is not much else going on in this song, I'm afraid, which is rudimentary but mellow as a result. Caravan is a curiously complex version that retains the mercurial mystique and Oriental feeling of this classic, but while the initial gateway to this song is a slowed-down melody, Watanabe's percussion seems to counteract with the endemic atmosphere. The persistent rhythm shifts, however, make this a great version of Caravan which hasn't been performed like this before (or after) this release.
While Theme From Exodus concludes the inclusion of themes with a dusky, downbeat aura, solemn pianos and glinting vibraphones bursts, You Are Beautiful is again seldom featured on Exotica LP's and features a saccharine, romantic, vibraphone-heavy ditty whose main instrument is too loud and bold and the melody too jumpy for successfully maintaining a mellow atmosphere. Bird Of Paradise is the final track and brings back the exotic glint of Lotus Land: bird noises, Far Eastern melodies on the vibe, warm piano backings, galloping claves and flittering wind chimes float in. For fans of Lotus Land, this is the one track to deeply fall in love with. A very strong outro.
Whether the dreaminess and the reduction of the overly complex melodies are either caused by the absence of pianist Paul Conrad, an explicit influence by Decca Records on the style of the Gene Rains Group for marketing reasons or just a further stylistic refinement that the band actually came up with in the end, Far Across The Sea is mellow, soothing and best of all coherent. Bird cries or relevant field recordings are unfortunately strongly reduced, but the gently melting sustain of the vibraphone and the rather easy-going presentation are altogether selling points for Exotica fans of all kinds.
The Dreamy Album, as I keep calling it, is even harder to hunt down for a reasonable price than the two remaining LP's and the Best Of, but is worth it for those fans of Arthur Lyman's sound who want the vibraphone to be the main instrument – I'm raising my hand – and who long for that tropical, phantasmagoric sound that is far away from reality, but so overly enchanting and mellifluous that happiness increases time and again when you listen to it. Lotus Land might be more diversified and eclectic, a style that is resurrected in Rains' third and last album Rains In The Tropics of 1962, but let me stress once more that this is definitely no Easy Listening album in the classical sense, but a sophisticated work by the group whose vibraphone never sounded more glistening than on this album. After this bold change of style into dreamy destinations, it is all the more bewildering for me that the band wasn't present in the collective mind of the contemporary Exotica crowd and more successful in the 60's as a result. This dedication to Rains' music is, as most of my reviews, way too late, but consider his music worth your while, as it is beautiful.

« They Tell Us What They Will Do, But We Don't Believe Them
Nowhere to Run to »
When Your Ideology is a Contradiction in Terms
While your humble correspondent was growing up, he had parents and other relatives who were Eisenhower Republicans, along with other adult family members who were Truman Democrats. By using the usual adolescent/young adult method of watching and listening to these people, he wound up as an Independent, because neither party quite fit his nascent blunt and cranky personality. In addition, he wound up a Centrist, because during the 60's and early 70's the wingnuts on both sides were scarily extreme (note to extremists: burning crosses and bombing buildings do NOT endear you to the populace), which repulsed him.
Even if you don't agree with the destination, it is an understandable journey thereto. And the title of Radical Centrist is not all that hard to suss – to vehemently reject extremism of all sorts will lead one to adopt this designation. However, not all ideologies are self-consistent (Martin Short once called himself a "Radical Moderate", and this writer hopes it was a joke).
One widely-accepted designation, first gaining wide acceptance during the late '70's, is "Conservative Revolution". Well worth a sneer, even if one is only contemptuous of the obvious ignorance of how to use a dictionary. Unbelievably, the term is now commonly accepted, which just shows how repetition can help to sell even the most worthless of products. We have "Conservative Revolutionaries" all over the place, and they are in many cases ignorant of just how idiotic they appear. As their title is an oxymoron, let us then call them "oxymorons".
A Conservative is an antidisestablishmentarianist – a defender of the establishment, AKA the status quo. A conservative who revolts is schizophrenic by definition (which explains a lot of what they say, now I think on it).
What is truly insidious is how the term is used as a propaganda tool. When someone revolts, they are creating an impression that there is something to revolt against – that they are revolting against something evil, horrible, nasty, etc. This is meant to engender a certain sympathy for these supposed "freedom fighters", as if they were somehow equivalent to victimized indigenous populations. The reality is far from that – every single one of these oxymorons that Mr. Blunt and Cranky has encountered has been a beneficiary of the status quo, and not in any way persecuted. Rather, they have ingested far too much wingnut kool-aid, and by so doing have come to the conclusion that their life (which would be the envy of 90 % of the world's population) has been made wretched by, well, somebody other than themselves, they're not sure, just some flavor of Other.
And at whose hands did this wretchedization occur? Why, it was largely created over the decades by a combination of Left, Center-Left, Right, and Center-Right politicos at all levels of government. And a plurality of said politicos were (you guessed 'er, Chester) conservatives.
This, then, the final level of self-contradiction: not only are these "Conservative Revolutionaries" rebelling against those nasty ol' liberals, but they are rebelling to an even greater extent against conservatives. They are trying to fight and defeat, well, themselves. Oxymoronic? On second thought, take away the first three letters.

Big Government "Conservatives" Are Still Snooping in Our Bedrooms | bluntandcranky says:
[…] Lots of so-called "conservatives" claim to be in favor of small government: Mr. Blunt and Cranky has waxed quite wroth on these hypocritical preeves before, like right here, for instance. […]

V – so anything you want to report on this month?
A – yes, it's come out of the mental health work, but it's more about the nature of groups than mental health issues as such.
V – OK, so where did it come from?
A – We'd agreed to have a review on how to help people in crisis, which would include the service provided by the mental health trust but also the role of the police, ambulance service, A&E, voluntary sector, friends and family and so on. The idea was to start with a big meeting of service users and professionals to begin investigating the various problems and issues. So far we've had that big meeting which has been written up, with recommendations.
The thing was, when it came up in the mental health group, it was assumed that the report from that first event was enough and we could now move on. I made the case for a review, but others who I think might have supported that weren't there. In the end it was decided to discuss it at the next meeting, which was fine.
It got me thinking, though, about the nature of the group – in this case a committee – as an entity, distinct from the individuals that make it up. We tend to see such groups as, perhaps shifting coalitions of different views, some of which become manifest through voting or consensus, and are then implemented.
But groups or 'collectivities' more generally, like organisations, can sometime decide and act differently from their constituent members. (I made this point in relation to the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB), that collectively it's not as good as the individuals making it up).
I got thinking further about this when I went back to a NESTA article on Collective Intelligence.
V – so you were thinking, could you explain the committee's behaviour in terms of it as an entity rather than a coalition of the members?
V – so do you want to remind us what you mean by considering groups or 'collectivities' as entities?
V – just the short, simple version, then please.
A – OK. First is the question of whether such 'collectivities' are different sorts of things, entities in their own right. I'm not sure I've come to a final conclusion on that but I think probably it doesn't make much sense. Different from what? All the bits that make it up? A cloud is made up of all its constituent molecules but it makes sense for us to think of it as a whole thing. The same with organisations and society).
Another question raised in 'Collective Intelligence' and which harks back to my point about the HWB is, can the group or collectivity be more or less than the sum of its parts? (This is thinking about groups 'performing', like problem solving or instituting action rather than, say, getting agreement or buy-in).
But how can you make sense of that? Here are some ways you could interpret or operationalise the concept.
One way would be to consider how the group performs compared to one of its members, if they were to try and complete the whole task themselves, spending the same amount of time as the sum of time the members spend in the group. So if five people spend an hour as a group trying to do something, can one person, spending five hours do as well? That could be considered in terms of how well the worst member would do, the best member or perhaps an average. If the group doesn't perform as well as the worst of its members, then certainly you could say it is less than the sum of its parts. Perhaps also if it performs less well than its best member would.
Another way of thinking about it is if each person does what they're best at and it's all assembled afterwards – that's surely 'the sum of the parts' but it's also (generally) more than any one individual could do.
People are influenced by others in groups (e.g. their judgement and even ability to solve problems).
those things can become embodied in 'cultural artefacts' – procedures, systems, the layout of buildings, culture, norms etc.
Thus the history of the collectivity can influence its current nature, which in turn can influence its members.
V – so the way the mental health group reacted to the idea of a review of crisis might have been supra-personal, something which had become embodied in the group as an entity, almost independent of the views of the current members?
A – yes, it could have. But actually on reflection I don't think it did – I think this was probably just an example of shifting coalitions of views which happened to settle on a particular answer because of the combination of people who were there.
V – so everything you've been telling us about collectivities is totally irrelevant?
M – I look forward to it!

Q: sailsjs one-way-association implementation i follow this link and trying to show the data
http://sailsjs.org/documentation/concepts/models-and-orm/associations/one-way-association
but i got the error "Unknown column 'shop.building_detail' in 'field list' "
Is it the sails bug or something i did wrong ?
there are my database design and my code in below
database design
Shop model:
module.exports = {
  autoPK:false,
  attributes : {
  shop_id : {
    primaryKey : true,
    type : 'int',
    unique: true,
    columnName : 'shop_id'
  },
  shop_floor : {
    type : 'string'
  },
  shop_room : {
    type : 'string'
  },
  shop_build : {
    type : 'int',
    foreignKey:'true'
  },
  building_detail : {
    model : 'building'
  }
 }
 };

Building model:
module.exports = {
  autoPK:false,
  attributes : {
    build_id : {
      primaryKey : true,
      type : 'int',
      unique: true,
      columnName : 'build_id'
    },
    build_name : {
       type : 'string'
    },
    build_address : {
       type : 'string'
    },
    build_latitude : {
       type : 'float'
    },
    build_longitude : {
       type : 'float'
    },
    build_visit_count : {
       type : 'int'
    },
    build_status : {
       type : 'string'
    },
    build_status_last_update_time : {
       type : 'time'
    }
  }
  };

A: With your database design, your Shop model could look like this:
Shop.js
module.exports = {
  autoPK:false,
  attributes : {
    shop_id : {
      primaryKey : true,
      type : 'int',
      unique: true,
      columnName : 'shop_id'
    },
    shop_floor : {
      type : 'string'
    },
    shop_room : {
      type : 'string'
    },
    shop_build : {
      model: 'Building'
    }
  }
};

Sails.js automatically associates shop_build with the primary key of the Building model.
When you create a shop, just specify the building id as the value for shop_build:
Shop.create({
  shop_floor: "Some floor",
  shop_room: "Some room",
  shop_build: 8 // <-- building with build_id 8
})
.exec(function(err, shop) { });

And when you perform shop queries, you can populate the building details:
Shop.find()
.populate('shop_build')
.exec(function(err, shops) {
  // Example result:
  // [{
  //   shop_id: 1,
  //   shop_floor: 'Some floor',
  //   shop_room: 'Some room',
  //   shop_build: {
  //     build_id: 8,
  //     build_name: 'Some building',
  //     ...
  //   }
  // }]
});

Retail automotive TV advertising has been a mainstay of our company since its inception, and the company's founder began his career in that arena in the 1980's.
We've always attracted automotive dealers who are interested in the quality of their brand and message. Sure, they want to sell cars, but our clients also value the perception they create in the marketplace.
It's a balancing act, and we believe we're pretty good at it!


The most terrible failure of man is his inability to find formulas for fair and stable coexistence. Women and men of all ages confident that, as we walked away from barbarism, would reach higher levels of humanity, yet, despite advances in knowledge in all disciplines of knowledge, we can not overcome the ancestral worst instincts.
Thus, the attitude of those who have sacrificed their lives for the weak should receive love and appreciation of those who share his ideals. This is why I intend to rescue from oblivion and show my gratitude to some of the many human beings, infinitely generous and victims of the powerful of all time.
The aim of this gallery of portraits is not limited to express my personal aesthetic vision of the deepest feelings of the characters. Nor have I wanted to set me alone on the mere geography of their faces. I wish that this work could form the framework from which thinkers, poets and writers raise their voices to the attention of so many sleeping consciences and renew a message that the culture of the times, with all its unlimited means, intended to bury forever.

Two Steps Forward, Three Steps Back: The Columbus Blue Jackets Story
Posted by sunnyinnj ⋅ July 19, 2011 ⋅ Leave a comment
Filed Under Columbus Blue Jackets
Let me start by pointing out that the Columbus Blue Jackets have their eyes on the prize. By acquiring such talent as Jeff Carter and James Wisniewsk, they are closer to that goal. Carter was THE offensive leader in goals for the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2010-2011 season and finished 7th overall in the league with his 33 goals. Wisniewski was a powerhouse offensive defenseman for the Montreal Canadiens with 7 goals and 23 assists to combine for 30 points this past season, an impressive number for a man on the blue line. With such additions the team is ready and rarin' to go, right?
Not so fast. After looking at the numbers, the roster seems a little light and it just keeps thinning out.
As of June 23rd (affectionately referred to as Tradeageddon 2011), the roster stood at ~28 guys. In total, to this date, the Blue Jackets have lost 5 defenseman (including their on again/off again boyfriend Mike Commodore) and 4 forwards (the number includes even trades such as Voracek for Carter). Count it, people. They have a 19 man roster! They are running on the bare minimum of defensemen and have just enough forwards to run 4 lines. Here is where the problem comes in…
According to 25stanley.com, the team's resident senior citizen, Kristian Huselius, will be out recovering from a torn pectoral muscle until at least November. The injury takes 4-6 months to heal. As stated in 25stanley:
Forward Kristian Huselius will not be back before the month of November. The Blue Jackets will have to find a replacement. The team has already spent $ 58 million on its payroll. The reporter mentioned that the Blue Jackets will no doubt be looking for a player wanting to sign a one-year agreement.
I also do not need to mention that injuries are a daily occurrence in the NHL and this leaves no wiggle room for anything to go wrong.
It is one thing to have to add depth to scoring or defense, but to do both in one season and expect a one-year contract signing? This appears to be a Band Aid on a dam leak. The only saving grace for the failing franchise is their cap space. According to capgeek.com, the team has about 8.7 million dollars of room to play with. SO the options are as follows:
Take the cap space and invest in some of the free agents still available on the free trade market. Realistic options (NO Doughty or Stamkos!) who have yet to sign on the dotted line are Troy Bodie, Steve Bernier, Vinny Prospal, Rob Schremp, Jeff Tambellini, and John Madden as forwards, Madden, at 38, being most likely to take a one-year deal. Options on the blue line could include possibly Nick Boynton, Brent Sopel, Ruslan Salei, Steve Eminger, or Scott Hannan. All have proven to be contributors to their teams and unlike the 2010-2011 Blue Jackets defensemen, all of these men were on teams that made it to the playoffs.
Pull up from the farm league/s. The Springfield Falcons, much like their NHL affiliate, did not make it to the playoffs. Some of their top scorers last season were Tomas Kubalik, Trevor Smith, and David Savard. As seen in the past, being successful in the AHL does NOT mean you are destined for the NHL. Few notes came out of prospect camp but as stated by a staff writer for the team, they are working with what they have at the prospect level to produce something for future use. This was in an effort to build up players like those they traded right before this year's draft (Nikita Filatov and Jakub Voracek).
Scott Howson gets crackingand re-sign Craig Rivet, Chris Clark, and Anton Stralman and pray that will be enough.Whatever decision the higher-ups make, time is running out. With training camp a mere two months away (September 18, 2011), we should be seeing decisions made within the next month…hopefully.
About sunnyinnj
Female hockey fans are often referred to as "puck bunnies" and unfairly judged. As a female hockey fan with a desire to always learn more about the sport, I have an interest in any and all facets of the sport. I would like to write stories that appeal to female hockey fans who are not watching because the players are hot and look good in suits (that is a plus). My heart belongs to the Flyers but I have interest in players/teams all over the league. I know what it's like being a new fan to the sport and having to hold your own with people who have been immersed in the game longer than I've been alive. Take a deep breath, it's okay, we'll get through this together. I don't promise expertise, but I do hope to impart upon you my love for this "figure skating in a war zone" and create fans where there once weren't and turn casual interest into all-out love. I am in this committed relationship with hockey and I do not foresee it ending anytime soon.

No charges for Baltimore killer cops
By Editor posted on January 25, 2013
State's Attorney for Baltimore City Gregg L. Bernstein announced Jan. 24 that the three police officers responsible for the brutal death of Anthony Anderson Sr. would face no charges or even a penalty. The stunning news came when Bernstein met with Anderson family members, Baltimore People's Power Assembly leaders Sharon Black and Rev. C. D. Witherspoon, who is also president of the Baltimore Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the family's attorney, J. Wyndal Gordon.
At a 4 p.m. press conference later that day, the family, PPA and attorney announced renewed community protest demanding justice on Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. at the site of Anderson's killing, Montford Ave. at Biddle Street.
In the early evening of Sept. 21, without warning, Baltimore police officers grabbed Anderson from behind, lifted him into the air and slammed him onto pavement, causing his death. His 2- and 9-year-old grandchildren, his children and mother witnessed what the Oct. 2 official autopsy report called a "homicide."

Novi Hosts Premiere of Film "Golden Shoes"
Golden Shoes | Norman Koza Productions
On September 24, the movie "Golden Shoes" premiered in Novi. Golden Shoes is for the whole family. With a heart filled and inspiring story, it pulls at your heartstrings and makes you laugh like no other.
Christian Laroue, a young boy with a passion and a soccer ball, has only his mother in his life. His Father is recorded MIA during his time in the military. Leaning on his mom with all he has, she suddenly gets into a life changing accident and Christian is forced into staying with his unwanted neighbor that wants nothing to do with him. All the neighbor wants is for his own sons to beat Christian at the great game of soccer. The neighbor then tries to get Christian a new pair of cleats that are supposed to mess his game up, but in the end he makes these cleats go in his favor. It's a classic feel good movie that leaves tears running down your cheeks and a smile on your face.
I was lucky enough to attend the Novi premiere with fellow OEOnline.org reporter Katie Ridgeway. The film is notable because despite having a nationally-recognized cast, it was filmed primarily in the Metro Detroit area.
Producer Norman Koza was responsible for coming up with the film's plot.
"Me and my son were in the soccer store and we both picked out the same pair of cleats and I immediately went home and started writing," Koza said. "I never thought I would be having my son in the movie to be starring as Christian Laroue. But it has actually worked out great so far."
The film means something special to him.
"It is a great inspirational story that teaches kids to never give up on their dreams," he said. "I wanted the kids that have parents in the military to know, or the world to know what it's like to have a parent in the military."
Throughout the film, the whole theater cheered and laughed. It's a movie we would both recommend for families and people of all ages. Golden Shoes is available on-demand online and on DVD October 6, 2015.

Individual clothing with your company logo or lettering looks professional and underlines your personal touch! We offer you the possibility to embroider or print your clothes according to your wishes.
Embroidery is the noblest form of all finishes on the textiles you have chosen.
Whether your company logo, company name, employee name or a picture, there are no limits.
With embroidery, you can present your company image in high quality using the logo and company colours and thus individualise your workwear. A uniform appearance with a high recognition value underlines the positive public image of your company. We embroider with selected polyester yarns, which come in a wide range of colours.
The yarns are designed for heavy-duty use, such as frequent wearing and washing.
because of the nature and the desired placement.
From 10 pieces without low quantity costs.
Program costs once only for the first order.
Company logo, lettering (company name, employee name, title etc.), pictures etc.
With embroidery embroidery, the embroidery is not embroidered directly on the garment, but on an extra fabric. The finished emblem is then sewn onto the textile.
From 10 pieces without surcharge for small quantities.
Production in stock for quick reordering possible.
Printing is another way to customize your clothes. Here, too, your company can be presented in a uniform way using the logo and company colours and you can thus individualise your workwear. Printing is the cheaper alternative, especially when there is a greater demand. With a minimum purchase of just 10 pieces, there are only low basic costs. The different processes result in a wide variety of surface structures, which are presented in detail here. These six print variants can be used for both a T-shirt and a winter jacket. It doesn't matter whether you want to attach your logo or just a lettering on the clothing, both are no problem!
The printing ink is applied directly to the clothing through a sieve. This process is characterised by its high resistance to washing.
Ideal for larger runs, because of its low price.
Suitable for all textiles (also with dark background), except fleece and functional textiles made of 100% polyester.
No single lettering (employee name, title etc.) possible.
The logo is printed mirror-inverted onto a carrier film and covered with an adhesive layer.
The logo is then "welded" onto the clothing and the film is removed.
Suitable for all textiles, except fleece (only after consultation).
Single lettering (employee name, title etc.) possible.
Primarily used for single-coloured logos or lettering. The flock has a velvety surface and is often used for jerseys and sportswear, e. g. back number or club logo.
The reflective film printing consists of the same material as the reflective stripes on the warning clothing.
Great for soft shell jackets.
Flex film has a smooth and glossy or a smooth and matt surface. Very high-quality textile printing process, which is characterized by its high wash resistance and long durability.
The flock film consists of a velvety material. Very high-quality textile printing process, which is characterized by its high wash resistance and long durability.
We print or embroider your textiles purchased from us in high quality for you. The type of refinement or placement, the material, the design and also the quantity of pieces play an important role for the right choice. We will be happy to advise you comprehensively on all of these areas and consider what is best for your needs.
Use our checklist to ensure that you take all important information into account during your planning and that all relevant information is available to us!
In order for you to enjoy the finishing process for a long time and to ensure optimum durability and legibility, a number of points must be taken into account. The logos cannot be placed over seams, zippers or buttons.
A completely flat surface is required to attach the prints or embroidery. The most popular positions of the grafting are on the left breast (heart side) as well as on the back in the middle. The placement always depends on the garment you choose and offers, depending the textile, more options than just the standard.
Please do not forget to include the number for the chosen location in the order form.
By refining the articles, the washing instructions sewn on the label and in the garment become invalid! The washing temperature for refined clothing is max. 40°C, please also observe the washing instructions enclosed with the package.
Only use a commercially available mild detergent.
Only iron the garment from the left side and not over the printed surface.
Do not pull, pull or scratch the pressure.

Q: To construct examples of bounded linear functional. Let $H$ be a Hilbert space, and let $L$ be a linear functional on $H$.
Then $L$ is said to be a bounded linear functional iff
$\exists c>0:\forall h\in H:|Lh|\leq c\|h\|.$
 I want to construct some non trivial example of a bounded linear functional from Hilbert Space $H$ to Hilbert Space $K$. Also an example of the same taking $H=K$.
Thanks .

A: There is an easy way. Take a vector $v$ and define the functional $\langle v,\cdot\rangle:H \to \mathbb K$, given by $\langle v, \cdot \rangle(w):=\langle v, w \rangle$.
These are in fact all of the bounded linear functionals. This is the Riesz representation theorem.

A: Take an arbitrary $h\in H$ and an arbitrary $k \in K$ and let $(.,.)_{H}$ denote the scalar product in $H$. Then you can define
$$
L:\left\{\begin{array}{rcl}
H&\to &K \\
x &\mapsto & (x,h)_H \cdot k
\end{array}
\right.
$$
which is linear because the scalar product is linear in the first component and bounded because
$$
\|(x,h)_H \cdot k \| = |(x,h)_H|\cdot \|k\| \leq \|x\|\cdot\|h\|\cdot\|k\|.
$$

Acle gearing up for final assault on Anglian Combination Premier prize
Milton Lindsay
Published: 7:23 PM March 21, 2012 Updated: 10:59 PM October 10, 2020
Acle are steeling themselves for the hectic run-in which will determine their chances of lifting the Sterry Cup for the first time ever.
Martyn Sinclair and Tony Ward's outfit poked their noses in front for the first time as the three-horse battle for the Anglian Combination's Premier prize took a surprise twist, with last season's runaway champions Cromer dropping to second on ogal difference after a draw with St Andrews.
But with a demanding run-in of nine games in the month or so ahead – including two against Cromer – life at the top won't be going to the Broadland outfit's players' heads.
"I would be lying if I said it was not a nice feeling to be top but we always try to play things down a bit at Acle," said Sinclair.
After weeks of going about their business under the radar, with games in hand because of cup exploits, Acle grabbed pole position with a 3-1 win over Hempnall, at their fortress-like Bridewell Lane ground where they boast a perfect league record of 11 wins.
Indeed Acle's defeat by Kirkley and Pakefield Reserves in October is the only reverse they have suffered in the league. Defeats by King's Lynn in the Norfolk Senior Cup quarter-final and Norwich St Johns in the Mummery Cup semi-final, are the only other blemishes on a season of all-round progress so far.
"You will never hear us saying that we are going to win the Sterry Cup. We know it's going to be tough," said Sinclair.

10 City keeper issues injury update
"We have found things that little bit more difficult in recent weeks because teams have seen us near the top and it really seems to have incentivised them to try and spoil our day."
The games will come thick and fast for Acle, with regular Saturday and midweek action placing maximum demands on the squad, which is a classic mixture of youth and experience, with Luke Goreham leading the charge as captain and Nathan Thompson, young Adam Hipperson and Harry Maddison, providing the bulk of the goal power.
This Saturday Acle travel to Loddon (1.30) before travelling to Cromer for an educational "six-pointer" on Tuesday evening.
But whoever they face, no game will be regarded as a given.
"There are a lot of points to be won and lost so we aren't getting too excited just yet. To be complacent would be the worst thing we could do," said Sinclair.
After twice being Sterry Cup bridesmaids, Acle would love nothing more than to win the coveted prize.
But in Blofield and Cromer, they are up against protagonists, who have been there done that and know exactly what is required.
Sinclair said lifting the huge trophy would be the perfect reward for the hard-working club committee members, and stalwarts such as Freddie Colk, John Goward and Robin Tungate.
"It would be a fantastic achievement. Unlike some other clubs at our level we don't pay players. But with that you get a degree of honesty as we know that the boys want to play for the club.
"It makes it more of a challenge and if we can win it, maybe more of an achievement."

On Doubt
Goutam Ghosh, Vector, 2015. Courtesy of the artist and STANDARD (OSLO), Oslo. Photo: Vegard Kleven.
(This event has already happened.)
Art historian Richard Shiff's 2008 book Doubt (Routledge) considers the tensions that arise between practicing art and practicing criticism, which he identifies as the difference between intuition and reason. He cites uncertainty not as a retreat to relativism, but as a critical tool for thinking clearly about art and art history. Criticism is enhanced when it borrows some of art's intuitive doubt.
In this talk, he expands his argument to consider the work in Between the Ticks of the Watch.
Richard Shiff is Effie Marie Cain Regents Chair in Art at The University of Texas at Austin, where he directs the Center for the Study of Modernism. His scholarly interests range broadly across the field of modern and contemporary art. His publications include Cézanne and the End of Impressionism (1984), Critical Terms for Art History (co edited, 1996, 2003), Barnett Newman: A Catalogue Raisonné (co authored, 2004), Doubt (2008), Between Sense and de Kooning (2011), and Ellsworth Kelly: New York Drawings 1954-1962 (2014).

"The reality is that literacy and education [in crises] become sort of like this slow burn," says Steve Cox, associate marketing director for Room to Read, a nonprofit NGO working in 10 countries across Asia and Africa. According to Cox, it's important to prioritize education efforts alongside other humanitarian aid in emergencies.

According to the United Nations, education "ends generational cycles of poverty and disease" and provides a stronger foundation for lasting development.

Even in a crisis, Room to Read—hailed as one of the world's most innovative educational NGOs—is focused on deep, systemic change in low-income countries, working to foster lifelong reading habits among primary school children. "Once reading becomes something that you do of your own accord," says Cox, "you have the ability to seek out information on whatever you want—you can form your own opinions, you can make your own informed decisions."
Key to Room to Read's Literacy Program is the establishment of safe, child-friendly learning environments—free from hazards, crowding, and distractions. The organization has found that this learning environment, combined with a school library, books in the children's local language, and teachers and librarians trained in best practices of reading and writing instruction, allows children to develop both the skill and habit of reading during their primary school experience. Throughout Asia and Africa, communities have co-invested with Room to Read in over 17,000 government schools. In Nepal, structures previously constructed by Room to Read were built to earthquake resistant-standards and initial assessments show that in the most damaged districts, these structures fared better than other buildings.
Yet many educational spaces in Nepal remain in crisis mode. Students and teachers in the most impacted districts are learning to improvise, holding classes under tarps or in tents. In collaboration with the nation's District Education Offices, which have set up Temporary Learning Centers, Room to Read is providing support during the post-emergency period by donating children's books in the local language, as well as holding counseling and storytelling sessions to help children deal with trauma. Room to Read is focusing now on long-term plans to return children to a permanent school environment.

That phase-out is possible because of Room to Read's strategy to give new learners, teachers, librarians, and communities across the globe the tools they'll need to take charge of their own education. The organization finds this approach to be effective in ensuring sustainability in all countries of operation, including Nepal. In addition to creating proper learning spaces (inclusive of public libraries), Room to Read trains librarians and teachers, and provides students with fun, engaging books by local authors.
Ask Room to Read that question, and they'd be able to say they've learned how to tackle illiteracy in Nepal—even in a crisis—spurring early education and publishing the country's first books for children along the way.
If you'd like to support Room to Read's efforts in Nepal, learn more about their Nepal Education Fund.

Rüfüs Du Sol Drop Energetic New Single "Lost In My Mind" Off Forthcoming Album
Jake Nixon | Sep 5, 2018 |Uncategorized
Rüfüs Du Sol has been rolling out new music lately and we can't get enough of it. They've already shared songs like "No Place" and "Underwater," and have a new treat for us again today with the release of another new single titled "Lost In My Mind." Rufus has been teasing their new ablum Solace with the announcement of the release date of October 12 in an interview with Zane Lowe while premiering this new single.
We basically took a two-day trip to the desert, to Joshua Tree. The intention was to go find some lyrics for a few of the songs that didn't have any final lyrics on it. We took a synth and a small recording set up up there. On the first night we were like let's just break the ice and you know have a bit of fun and just mess around with an idea. All the lyrics of "Lost In My Mind" were written in that one day and then the song pretty much formed over that two-day period. We went for a few little wonders in the desert like on these big rock outcrops and found some lyrics for a few of the other songs. And it's scary man, it's scary. I mean that's what the song is about a little bit, just been content with like we've had some experiences out in the desert just sort of losing some of your friends and just being like you know what, I'm sweet. – Rufus Du Sol
This new track incorporates some sampled vocals bringing a worldly sound to them while taking an energetic approach to the production. This is one of the more upbeat songs from Rufus out of the new singles and we can't wait to hear the full album next month. See the full interview below as well and enjoy!

As previously explained, chromotherapy uses colors to promote healing and assist in the treatment of certain diseases. Colors are associated with the various power centers of our bodies, which are known as chakras.

For example, chromotherapy is integrated into specific models of hydrotherapy tubs to work with the water powered therapy within walk in bathtubs to ultimately, enhance healing power.
If you are interested in learning more about the different chakras, their designated colors and the healing benefits offered by each color, be sure to read our guest blog post on austinpug.org (AustinPUG Health). The article also provides insight to the many benefits of when chromotherapy is coupled with hydrotherapy in walk in bathtubs.
If interested in these features and thinking of purchasing a walk in tub, be sure to check with the supplier you chose by asking about the options for purchasing a chromotherapy tub.
It is a complete new feature in a walk in bathtub. I didn't knew that walk in tubs could also be used for chromotherapy. It would be a great added advantage.

Danny Jones is 65 years old (born in 1953) and lives with his wife, Tina, in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Danny's love and passion for football began during the early 60's- Pro Football's golden decade. He played amateur and semi-pro football for over a decade during the 70's and 80's. Danny was a wide receiver and compiled some outstanding statistics during his career. He caught 302 passes for 5,519 yards and 66 touchdowns. Danny scored 15 touchdowns of 40 or more yards. He wore #19 like his football hero and idol- star receiver Lance Rentzel of the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams. Danny enjoys the simple pleasures of life. He cherishes time spent with his loving wife, Tina, and pretty cat, Rambo. The reason for these books is to give former NFL stars of the 50's, 60's, and 70's the recognition they deserve so they can be chosen to the Hall of Fame where they should be. Danny has written 5 football books, including his new book, Trailblazers and Unsung Heroes: A License to Thrill- All-Time Football Greats of Yesteryear (2018). His other books are Distant Memories: The NFL's Best Ever Players of the 60's and 70's and More Distant Memories: Pro Football's Best Ever Players of the 50's, 60's, and 70's and Lost Treasures from the Golden Era of America's Game: Forgotten Heroes and Legends from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. The book from last year (2017), is Heroes of Yesteryear: Pro Football's Dying Breed of Players from a Bygone Era.


I want to start by( slightly belatedly) mentioning Command's "fifth birthday". It's amazing both how far it's come and how good it was even back then. As I've mentioned before, what made me fall in love with Command was its ability to simulate the most obscure and unlikely conflicts. Simulating the American or Russian Air Force is one thing, but a small, weaker force is quite another.
When I did my first of countless editor experiments, I did not do a GIUK Gap or South China Sea. I did a "Francoist Spain vs. Nigeria" over Equatorial Guinea. This eventually got made into a formal scenario called The Old Regime and the New Nation. Another community author has made the Spanish Guinea set, in the same area.
Territory generally internationally recognized as belonging to Country A, but far closer to Country B.
Country A is wealthier than Country B, who is not generally considered a world military power, and would likely crush them if the two were next to each other.
However, they're not next to each other. Country B has a credible military force for the region, and Country A has to stretch its very limited power projection abilities to the absolute maximum.
Other Falklandsesque scenarios I've seen in Command are the Canary's Cage and Green Tide standalones (also starring Spain, and over the Canary Islands), and the many Netherlands vs. Venezuela over the ABC Islands scenarios in the community pack. It's not hard to see the appeal of these scenarios, for they offer something distinctive, high-tech, and evenhanded.
