Presented by Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the State of Puebla, Mexico What's This? 11/22/2017 at 12:24pm
PUEBLA, LOCATED ONLY TWO HOURS AWAY FROM MEXICO CITY, has become one of the best tourism destinations of the country, not only for its great cultural heritage but for being the perfect combination between the classic and the modern. Come and discover the new places that the city has to offer:
Teleférico de Puebla // Cableway of Puebla
The cableway is the newest attraction in town. It has a length of 688 meters, and two stations. The one at the Expositions and Conventions Center is 60 meters long and the one located at the Cableway Park is 68 meters long. From one of the two cabins, for 35 people each, you can admire the world's largest urban mural and also the spectacular views that Puebla has to offer.
Museo Internacional del Barroco // International Museum of the Baroque
As an example of the aesthetic achievements of our time, the Museo Internacional del Barroco has been created referencing the most up-to-date exhibition design tendencies by the firm of Japanese architect Toyo Ito. The contemporary relevance of the Baroque underlies the importance of creating the museum, designed in its entirety—from its architectural structure to its conceptual dimensions—to explore the complex Baroque essence of the 17th and 18th centuries, while also highlighting features of the contemporary Neobaroque. The MIB opens the doors to the expressions of the Baroque touching all aspects of human life, revealing its folds, drama, tension, and theatricality.
Museo de la Evolución // Museum of Evolution
Located in the historical site of the forts of Loreto & Guadalupe, the Museum of Evolution is dedicated to show the 14 billion years process of the earth, since the Big Bang to the creation of men. It also highlights the fossil evidence found all around Puebla. It's a one of a kind museum in Mexico, and specializes in the evolution of the species and the cosmos.

Opinion Columnists From a grassroots hashtag to a real opportunity for change
From a grassroots hashtag to a real opportunity for change
By: Wab Kinew Posted: 1:00 AM CST Thursday, Dec. 6, 2012
When First Nations chiefs angry with the federal omnibus budget Bill C-45 scuffled briefly with RCMP on Parliament Hill on Tuesday, it certainly made for compelling images. It also raised some compelling questions. Are we seeing a renewed militancy in the aboriginal community? Is this a "tipping point" of sorts? What can we expect next? To me, the most interesting question is what was the catalyst for this showdown?
When First Nations chiefs angry with the federal omnibus budget Bill C-45 scuffled briefly with RCMP on Parliament Hill on Tuesday, it certainly made for compelling images. It also raised some compelling questions. Are we seeing a renewed militancy in the aboriginal community? Is this a "tipping point" of sorts? What can we expect next? To me, the most interesting question is what was the catalyst for this showdown?
It was actually a simple message, likely unintelligible unless you are an avid Twitter user:
"Tweeting up on Sunday, December 2, the #IdleNoMore event in Alberta. Lets get it trending! Here is the FB event…"
CP First Nations leaders talk to the media outside the House of Commons Tuesday.
Not necessarily "I have a dream" type material, but significant in its own right. Tanya Kappo Tanya Kappo (@Nehiyawskwew) posted that on Nov. 30 to drum up support for an event she organized called "Idle No More." Her fellow organizers began using the "#idlenomore" hashtag (hashtags are Twitter's way of grouping messages together by topic) and so did their followers.
Kappo told me she expected her event to be "15 people in a room listening to what I thought about the legislation." Instead, 150 people descended on Louis Bull First Nation in Alberta to hear Kappo and her co-organizers speak against Bill C-45.
Kappo and many First Nations people object to provisions in the bill that reduce the amount of federally protected waterways and increase the minister of aboriginal affairs' power to sell off reserve land. It is also seen as part of a broader agenda to impose legislation on aboriginal people without their consent. Some people have even begun to blame indigenous leaders for allowing this agenda to proceed.
At the Idle No More event last Sunday, Kappo says many people were upset their chiefs were not talking about the bill. "There was angst building against our leadership. People asked 'What's (the Assembly of First Nations) doing?' and 'What are the chiefs doing?'" People at the meeting kept tweeting and the hashtag took off.
It grew beyond the Alberta event. Soon all sorts of messages about indigenous issues included the hashtag. There were more messages critical of First Nations leaders. Even non-aboriginal people started using the hashtag to express their support. The hashtag went viral.
Then on Tuesday this social media talk hit the floor of an Assembly of First Nations meeting in Ottawa. Soon National Chief Shawn Atleo and others called for a march to Parliament. Fast-forward a few hours and suddenly chiefs and Mounties were shoving each other outside the House of Commons chamber.
In the aftermath, one of those leaders, Manitoba Grand Chief Derek Nepinak, appeared on CBC television and tipped his hat to the Twitterati.
"As chiefs, we always watch what our young people are doing…. They're putting their words out on social media saying, 'What are the chiefs going to do?', 'We need to stand up now.' We are going to act and this is just the beginning of it."
What is the lasting impact of the "#idlenomore" hashtag? Will it be as momentous as the "#jan26" hashtag that started the protests in Egypt that led to Hosni Mubarak's removal from power? Or is it just another online fad that will come and go?
The hashtag "#Idlenomore" did not stop bill C-45. It ended up passing unamended. The true impact, however, is that it showed grassroots aboriginal people they can influence their leaders through social media. Kappo says Tuesday's events "closed the gap" between the chiefs and their constituents, adding, "If there's going to be real and profound change, it's not only about the relationship with the feds, but also the relationship with ourselves." Now she and others are planning other events to raise awareness under the Idle No More banner and the chiefs in Ottawa are discussing their next move.
This has implications far beyond the aboriginal community. From proposed changes to the Indian Act to proposed pipelines, there are many issues looming that have the potential to galvanize indigenous people into protest. If First Nations people are mobilized by any one of them, I suspect that some of the other tensions faced by our community will begin to boil over. Poverty, rundown homes, bad schools, children in care, missing and murdered women… the list goes on. In short, we could soon see a lot of conflict and acrimony.
Yet, it can be avoided. What Kappo and the others behind "#idlenomore" are asking for is simple: for the government to listen to First Nations people. Not imposed legislation. Not political rhetoric. Not games. Simply, to listen to the vision First Nations people have for our future, and work with us to make it happen. The architects of this nascent movement have already succeeded in getting aboriginal leaders to listen to that message. Perhaps others in Canada will soon pay attention.

Q: Trigger an envelope's event notification again I've set an envelope's event notification to hit my API foo.com/hook as soon as it is of status completed. However, I had a bug in my API that didn't handle the data well.
Is there any way to trigger the event notification again without editing the envelope?

A: You can manually tell Connect to republish the notification.
See the Publish button in the Connect section of the Administration tool.
Or better, see the Failures button and section--you can manually request a resend of a notification that failed. (If you have the Require Acknowlegement option on.)
If you're not sure that your Webhook listener will be up 99.999% of the time (with no maintenance windows), then I suggest using an intermediary queuing system. See the connect- repositories in GitHub. They show you how to use AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud to easily and cheaply build a reliable webhook listener for the notifications.

A: you can set up your connect endpoint configuration to require the web hook to acknowledge the event. This will allow for a retry if the event is not confirmed withing 100 seconds.
"If the Require Acknowledgment option is selected for a Connect Configuration and a publication message fails to be acknowledged within 100 seconds, the message goes back into the queue and the system will retry delivery after a successful acknowledgment is received. If the delivery fails a second time, the message is not returned to the queue for sending until Connect receives a successful acknowledgment and it has been at least 24 hours since the previous retry. There is a maximum of ten retries."

Germany To Pull Troops From Turkish Base In Dispute With Ankara
June 07, 2017 15:47 GMT
A technician works on a German Tornado jet at the air base in Incirlik in January.
Chancellor Angela Merkel's cabinet has decided to pull German troops and reconnaissance planes out of Turkey's Incirlik air base after Ankara refused to let lawmakers visit them.
The German troops and aircraft taking part in the international coalition against the Islamic State extremist group will redeploy to Jordan.
Germany has some 270 troops stationed at Incirlik, near Turkey's border with Syria, with six Tornado reconnaissance aircraft and a refueling plane.
The Defense Ministry said that the relocation would take the refueling plane out of service for two to three weeks and the reconnaissance planes for two to three months.
Merkel said that Berlin will consult with its allies on "replacement capabilities" during that time and the move "will be conducted as quickly as possible under the provision that the anti-IS coalition is able to work."
German leaders say it's essential that lawmakers be able to visit troops when they want, as deployments of German forces abroad require parliamentary approval.
Turkey blocked the latest Incirlik visit request in protest over a decision by German authorities to grant asylum to soldiers and other individuals that Turkey accuses of participating in last year's failed coup.
Ties have also been tense over the jailing in Turkey of two German journalists and the decision by German local authorities to ban planned campaign rallies by Turkish ministers earlier this year.

U.S.|Harrisburg Council Rejects Financial Rescue Plan
Harrisburg Council Rejects Financial Rescue Plan
By SABRINA TAVERNISE JULY 19, 2011

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The City Council in this financially struggling city rejected a statesponsored recovery program on Tuesday, in an act of rebellion against state and county officials who had repeatedly pressured the city to accept it.
The Council voted 4 to 3 against the plan, which was pushed by Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican, who has argued that passing it was an essential step in putting Harrisburg's financial house in order and meeting its obligations to its bondholders.
Opponents said the plan was a raw deal for taxpayers, who would end up paying the bill for a troubled trash incinerator whose more than $300 million in debt payments are more than quadruple the city's annual budget.
The plan proposed selling city property, namely a valuable parking garage system, as well as the incinerator, freezing wages, and changing contracts with public workers, moves that opponents said would put too much burden on taxpayers and too little on bondholders and banks.
"The bondholders took a risk, ladies and gentlemen," said Councilwoman Susan Brown-Wilson, who voted against the plan. "When you take a risk on Wall Street, guess what? Sometimes it's a loss."
Council members who voted to accept the plan warned of dire consequences in rejecting it, saying the state would cut off extra financing that had been made available to the city because of its distressed status.
"Tonight, I think we are making a terrible mistake," said Councilwoman Gloria Martin-Roberts, the body's president. "I think this Council is being derelict toward the citizens of this community. It's not going to be pretty here in the City of Harrisburg."
Mayor Linda D. Thompson now has two weeks to propose an alternate plan. That deadline falls on Aug. 2, the day the federal debt limit expires.
"The statute says I have 14 days, and I plan to use every one of them," Ms. Thompson said in a briefing after the vote. "I am committed to helping solve our crisis."
Harrisburg's tale of woe has its roots in the exuberance of financial markets over the past decade. A former mayor, Stephen R. Reed, was able to borrow millions of dollars for the incinerator project, whose cost was many times the size of the city budget, largely through what his critics say was a slippery mix of cronyism, a lack of critical local news media and an eagerness of Wall Street to lend.
The state deemed the city financially distressed last year and placed it under a Pennsylvania statute called Act 47, which eventually gives access to state money and requires an outside financial adviser to carry out a financial recovery plan.
That plan was what the Council rejected on Tuesday.

Former NFL Player Accused of Running Juvie Fight Club
An ex-lineman for the Chicago Bears is among four prison guards accused of forcing teen inmates to fight each other as a form of punishment.

A former NFL player is among four prison guards accused of forcing teenage detainees to fight as punishment for bad behavior, prosecutors say.
Corrections officers at the Illinois Youth Center in St. Charles ordered juvenile residents to attack fellow prisoners in January 2016, then stood back and watched as they brawled, said Kane County State's Attorney Joseph McMahon.
Ten victims suffered bodily harm during bouts at the detention center, about 45 miles west of Chicago, authorities say.
"The public expects a fair system from start to finish," McMahon told The Daily Beast, "and that means… people who are sentenced to incarceration either in the youth center or prison system… are treated fairly and with dignity.
"Correctional facilities are not supposed to be nice pleasant places, but they're also not supposed to be places where people are exposed to harm from correctional employees," added McMahon, who in August was named special prosecutor in the high-profile killing of Laquan McDonald by Chicago police.
Last week, a grand jury indicted the jailers, who posted bond and were released from Kane County jail shortly after their arrests. If convicted, the foursome each faces a maximum of two to five years in state prison.
Johan O. Asiata—a hulking 6-foot-4, 300-pound onetime offensive lineman for the Chicago Bears—was charged with five counts of official misconduct, two counts of aggravated battery, and one count of unlawful restraint. The 30-year-old struck his victims about the body and brought contraband into the facility, prosecutors say.
Asiata is listed as a coach for a Chicago Bears youth football camp, and according to social media posts, coached kids this summer.
"Knowing that Johan Asiata was a former Bears football player is disturbing," one mom wrote on Facebook following his arrest. "He was the 'special person' at the football camp [my son] wanted to attend. I don't think he will be the special person again anytime soon. Disturbing!"
Michael M. Klimek, 40, the fight squad's alleged ringleader, faces 76 felony counts including official misconduct, aggravated battery, unlawful restraint, theft, and mob action. A local deputy coroner, Klimek allegedly snuck contraband into the detention center and committed battery on public property.
Andre L. McFarland, 31, and Elliot J. Short, 34, also face charges of official misconduct and aggravated battery.
The allegations are especially embarrassing for Asiata, whom the Bears signed as an undrafted free agent in 2009. The rookie, who mostly played on the practice squad and was released two years later, once told the Chicago Tribune, "I just like to play. I just like to hit. That's why I joined football, so I can hit people for fun."
The New Zealand-born Asiata graduated from Hawaii National Guard Youth Challenge Academy, a military-style school for troubled youths, the Tribune reported.
In 2010, the lineman told the Chicago Sun-Times his life changed during a six-month stay at the school, where he realized his gridiron passions.
"I just like to hit people—that's basically it," Asiata told the Sun-Times. "I don't get arrested for hitting people, so thank God for that."
Asiata went on to play Canadian football before joining the now-defunct arena football team, the Los Angeles Kiss, owned by rockers Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. He did not return voicemails left by The Daily Beast.
He appears to have left football in 2014, when he began working for the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice as a "special intern," state comptroller records show. That year, he was paid $16,700. He made $63,587 and $54,818 in 2015 and 2016, respectively, as a juvenile justice specialist, the employee records reveal.
Meanwhile, Klimek took home $89,179 in 2014 and $87,472 in 2015. He made $73,256 so far in 2016, as a juvenile justice specialist, state records show. A woman who answered Klimek's phone told The Daily Beast he had "no comment" on the criminal charges.
Records list McFarland as a "special intern" who made $41,243 in 2015 and $51,781 this year. Data on Short was unavailable. McFarland and Short could not be reached for comment.
The guards were put on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the Illinois State Police investigation, according to a Department of Juvenile Justice spokesman. He did not comment on whether the jailers were still employed.
Similar forced fighting allegations have rocked the nation's correctional facilities.
As The Daily Beast reported in August, a trio of San Francisco inmates settled a federal lawsuit claiming guards forced them to battle like gladiators for food. Criminal charges against the sheriff's deputies are still pending.
A federal lawsuit in New Jersey accuses corrections officers of making juvenile inmates in Cumberland County fight in 2012. The county shuttered the detention center three years later as a cost-saving measure, NJ.com reported.

Danny Heitman's 'At Random': In times of trouble, the feed and seed promises hope
If geography is destiny, as the old saying goes, then I count myself lucky to have grown up across the street from a feed and seed store, an accident of chance that's shaped me in ways I'm only beginning to grasp.
Danny Heitman's 'At Random': Take the time to tell a teacher thanks
My childhood was in the 1970s, a decade defined by an unpopular war abroad, economic troubles at home and talk of scandal and impeachment in Washington.
Though the headlines were bleak, the corner feed and seed suggested a comforting continuity. It's where farmers found what they needed for planting and mending, for keeping horses and chickens and cows, for answering the errands and emergencies involved in growing things. The feed and seed customers had worries, but they seemed connected to some constancy that had somehow eluded the news cycle.
I suppose what I was watching, as I glanced at the goings-on at the feed and seed from my bedroom window, was the flow of the farm season, which moved according to a pattern that had nothing to do with Watergate, Vietnam or the Arab oil embargo. It was, for me, an anchor.
I moved away more than three decades ago, and now return to the old neighborhood mostly for funerals. Last month, while driving back to my hometown on such a mission of condolence, I listened to the car radio, which was grim company. In many ways, it seemed like the soundtrack of my boyhood, touched by the familiar themes of fighting abroad, discord at home, questions about what the president knew, and when did he know it.
I stopped by a corner church and stayed for awhile with the bereaved, intent on getting back quickly after I'd paid my respects. But leaving town, I saw the feed and seed where it's always been and decided to stop in.
Danny Heitman's 'At Random': Hints of resurrection reveal promise of Easter
In magnetic letters on an outdoor sign, the store's proprietor had announced that chicks and ducks were for sale, an invitation I found irresistible. Visiting the brooder at the feed and seed, which reliably roils with chicks and ducks every spring, is for me a ritual as renewing as a trip to Lourdes.
Within a metal box as big as a china cabinet, chicks and ducklings scratched about on separate levels. They were illuminated by heating lamps, which made them glow with little halos, like medieval saints in stained-glass windows.
The pullets were $3.25 apiece and included some called Gold Sex Link. It sounded illicit. I Googled the reference, which misled me to a few corners of the internet best not mentioned, before learning that Gold Sex Link pullets are a cross breed "utilizing the Rhode Island white female and the Rhode Island red male."
Danny Heitman's 'At Random': Even in an age of email, sometimes only a handwritten note will do
I bought no chicks or ducks, though I did buy some bird seed to stock my feeders back home. With such small gestures of hope, I guess, we learn to take whatever the morning news throws at us.
Danny Heitman's 'At Random': Eudora Welty's lesson for today's graduates

Q: How to prevent caching of php files? After removing varnish cache from local server I noticed strange behaviour of Apache server.
When ever you update a php file and try to open it in a browser old response is shown, CTRL + F5 does not refresh a page, but if you type in service apache2 restart all changes appear.
Can some one point what could possibly went wrong?

A: You may have apc.stat  set to 0 in which case APC will always serve the cached version of PHP files without checking the file on disk for changes anymore.
You can find out with a <?php phpinfo() ?> on any page.
To change that setting, check the content of /etc/php5/conf.d/apc.ini.

Q: Can you assist with wrong informatica results? Hello I am new to informatica, and was trying to write a decode or if, where only one value goes into the output port... a value that is not equal is going into the output port... i iam positive the value is not equal... so my decode doesn't work and me trying to do a nested if doesn't work... the decode is as follows...
decode (true
testopen = testdoor1, 'open', 'close',
testopen = testdoor2, 'open', 'close',
testopen  = testdoor3, 'open', 'close')
Although i know testdoor3 is the only one that equals testopen.. testdoor3 is populated..
i tested it with one test on testdoor2 ( only one expression in the decode and it still populates testopen with testopen2) the testdoor2 and testdoor1 have nulls
i then tried with an iif but got stuck afteer the first
 iif (testopen = testdoor1, 'equal','noequal')

but i couldn't figure out how to do it with 3 iif statements.. your help is appreciated.
decode (true
        testopen = testdoor1, 'open', 'close',
        testopen = testdoor2, 'open', 'close',
        testopen  = testdoor3, 'open', 'close')

or
iif (testopen = testdoor1, 'equal','noequal')
your assistance is appreciated!

A: Here is the syntax of DECODE from Informatica documentation
DECODE( value, first_search, first_result [, second_search, second_result]...[,default] )

I would suggest you to add what your input values are and what the expected output is.
By looking at your code, it seems you are not providing correct input to the intended positions/parameters. Let's say the ports have below values

*

*testopen='Yes'

*testdoor1='Yes'

*testdoor2='No'

*testdoor3='Yes'
Let's see after replacing your decode with the actual value from the port and compare it with the syntax. Notice the (second_search) where you are not comparing the ports but just the value 'close'. This is why your code is behaving weirdly.
Note: NOTICE the missing comma after 'true' in your original post
decode(true,
            'Yes' = 'No' (first_search), 'open' (first_result), 'close' (second_search),
            'Yes' = 'Yes' (second_result), 'open' (third_search), 'close' (third_result),
            'Yes' = 'No' (forth_search), 'open' (forth_result), 'close'(default))

Try using similar to below code. This is again from Informatica documentation.
DECODE( TRUE,
        Var1 = 22, 'Variable 1 was 22!',
        Var2 = 49, 'Variable 2 was 49!',
        Var1 < 23, 'Variable 1 was less than 23.',
        Var2 > 30, 'Variable 2 was more than 30.',
        'Variables were out of desired ranges.')

A: DECODE takes a value, pairs of search and result values and, optionally,a default.
You seem to be using triplets instead of pairs of parameters. What you have actually written is:
decode (true
        testopen = testdoor1, 'open',
        'close',  testopen = testdoor2,
        'open', 'close',
        testopen  = testdoor3,
        'open', 'close')

Q: Camera application and MediaRecorder interfere I use MediaRecorder inside Service to record audio. When audio recording is in progress, and when I try to manually start camera, I got this:

Sometimes my app crashes, and log says only "Process died".
How do I handle such situation, I mean, maybe to detect that camera app wants to record something, so that I can free MediaRecorder.

A: Yes you must need to release media recorder sources as camera activity can be going to use all those same resources.

A: You should try to release the media recorder resources when you quit the activity.
Maybe that's the reason.
It will still exist even you finish your activity if you didn't close it.

A: AFAIK it's not possible to listen to the hardware camera launch.
Camera doesn't broadcast any action that would enable you to free the MediaRecorder before the error occurs. The actions broadcast by the Camera are ACTION_NEW_PICTURE, ACTION_NEW_VIDEO, CAMERA_ERROR_SERVER_DIED, and CAMERA_ERROR_UNKNOWN, neither of which would allow you to release the MediaRecorder before the error occurs.

Addison Dahl is excited to return to Elpitha Island for her best friend Gabriella's wedding. A weekend of sun and fun is just what she needs before setting out on her newest adventure—roughing it in the wilderness. Addison is tough, she's independent, and she doesn't "do" feelings toward men. But lately her friend—and Gabriella's brother-in-law—sinfully sexy and ornery-as-hell Jake Ryder has been the star of her late-night fantasies, and she can't get him out of her mind. It doesn't help that the chemistry between them is scorching hot. With any luck, a few days in the wilderness will snap that craziness out of her head.
As a top search and rescue professional, Jake Ryder spends his days saving those in need and
his nights in the arms of willing women who offer nothing more than a few hours of sexual
enjoyment. But there's only one woman he wants, and he's spent the last several months trying
to get beautiful, smart, and sassy Addison to give him one sinful night. He's sure one night will
lead to more.
The night of the wedding the heat between Jake and Addy ignites, and they're powerless to
resist their explosive passion. Wild kisses, sensual touches, and heartfelt conversations brings
them closer together, and when the weekend ends, Jake is determined to keep Addy close and
make her his. But Addy has other plans...
Believe it or not, I actually had a little bit of a difficult time with Rescued by Love. For the first time, Melissa created a heroine that I nearly didn't click with. I loved Jake Ryder. He's passionate, protective, and so damn sexy. As with all of Foster's men, he is immediately lured in by the woman he loves and all previous relationships fade off into the distance. From the minute his heart zeroed in on Addy, that was it. Addy, on the other hand, took a bit longer to convince. Don't get me wrong, I loved Addy's independence and her need to put herself first. Being put on a pedestal growing up and told "not to touch" gave her the craving to explore the world. I get that. Wanting to explore nature on her own for over a week? That I don't get. I spent the majority of the book wanting to shake some sense into her. By the end, I stood firmly on her side. I may not have agreed with how she got there, but the point is that she did. Both of them did.
As with all of my Melissa Foster reviews, I like to pick a word or phrase that best describes the book. It took me a day to come up with a word, but I finally did - tenacious. I feel like I've used the word before because it can describe any number of Melissa's characters, but it also works well for Jake and Addy. Jake's determination to win Addy over made me swoon. She jokes that he can be a little Neanderthal with his need to make her realize that they are a thing, but it works for him. Addy's need for the independence she never had as a kid fuels her tenaciousness. She's holding firm on to her plans for roughing it in her tight grasp and she refuses to give up without at least trying. And I admire her for that. While I may not have agreed with her actions, it wouldn't have stopped me from loving Rescued by Love. Yet another fabulous Foster book.

The Christian Wife Life: comment replies and etiquette.
Lately I've been trying to figure out the best way to respond to comments. Because if I respond with another comment - you'll probably never see it. If I respond in a comment on your blog (if you blog) then it might be weird and out of place. But if I can email you with a response to your question on my comment, well that'd just be lovely.
So, in order for that to happen, your email needs to be available in your profile!
"How to add your e-mail: On your blogger Dashboard, click "Edit Profile". Once there, make sure the box next to "Show my email address" is checked. Then, scroll down to the Identity section. Your "Username" should be the e-mail you use to sign into Blogger with. If it's the same one you want to get comment replies from, make sure you have it typed in "Email address", too. If it's different than the e-mail address you want to use, type that e-mail address in now. And you should be good to go!!"
Another thing that I read the other day that I thought was hilarious and so true was about comment manners and such - "Comment Vomit" by Momcomm. I think there are a couple of bad words in there so just tune those out, but the stuff she says is SO TRUE. I'm not singling anyone out here, and don't feel bad if you've done the things she talks about, because I have too. It's just for comment etiquette awareness!
It talks about how a lot of times people tend to leave self promoting comments with no interest in what the post actually has to say. I guess the point is, I want to be FRIENDS with the people I follow and those who follow me - so I love it when people let me know that they are following my blog, but I want to have meaningful conversations with them, not just for following purposes. Just read the article and you'll know what I'm talking about!
And the word vommit post is hilarious...and so true!! I'm going to keep that and post it sometime because those comments bother me sooooo much!!! Have a great weekend, Ashley!
Enjoyed the comment vomit link. She had lots of good points and I could totally relate! I guess everyone is trying to figure out the best way to navigate this new blog world.
I too enjoyed the "Comment Vomit" link. You find some of the coolest, funniest stuff to post on your blog. You really do your research. Your trip sounds like it was so much fun! I'm glad you two had such a wonderful experience!
I'm glad you talked about this! I've been thinking the same thing lately when I try to reply back to people's comments on my blog and I can't- its no fun! I've made some great friends from blogging and we email almost every day, so having the ability to just reply back is great.
I guess you've added your email in your profile now; I tried to reply back to you from your comment on my blog and I got the no-reply message, but then I found your email and manually put it in.
This topic may be on my blog soon!:) Have a great weekend!
I may need to steal this from you too, it's always frustrating when there's a "no reply" e-mail and they asked a question I can't answer.
Thank you so much Ashley for posting this!! I'm gonna go take care of mine right now!
And I love Holly over at Perfectly Imperfect!
This is soooo true! couldn't agree more!
You're blog is so cute! I love it. I'm 21 and newly married. My husband is a worship pastor at my home church. Can't wait to read more of your posts and get to know you better!
Thanks for the tip on including your email. See.. you taught your former teacher something. lol :) I am now able to receive correspondence if it is so desired. I agree with the "Comment Vomit" post. I have had many like that.

IS THIS TUPAC?
Amazing new photograph 'shows' rap superstar Tupac Shakur 20 years after he was gunned down
The startling new picture is dividing millions of shocked music fans
By JON LOCKETT
Updated: 28 Aug 2016, 13:04
AN AMAZING new photograph claims to show rap megastar Tupac Shakur alive and well - 20 years after he was supposedly gunned down in Las Vegas.
The startling picture was posted on a video clip on YouTube and has left millions of shocked music fans asking is the Harlem-born rap star really alive and living in hiding.
The startling photograph bears an uncanny resemblance to an 'older' TupacCredit: YouTube
Tupac's murder in 1996 remains unsolved sparking dozens of conspiracy theoriesCredit: Getty Images
Tupac was infamously shot dead in Las Vegas in 1996 in a murder which remains unsolved, and the 20th anniversary of his death will occur in September.
Since his death, the music world has been flooded with conspiracy theories about who was behind the shooting and dozens of reports claiming the controversial star is still alive.
Now a new YouTube video titled 'Tupac is alive new proof 2016' claims it has the most convincing evidence the fallen rapper is still with us.

'ANOTHER FAKE BOOTY!'
Has Iggy Azalea had bum implants? Rapper strips off to thong revealing pert bottom
The video, which already has more than 1.3 million views, shows a selfie of a man wearing an bandanna who bears an amazing resemblance to Tupac.
It is claimed the man is "Tupac guys 100% same eyebrows and lips".
The jacket the man is wearing is only said to have been released onto the market in 2012.
The subtitles in the video state the photo is a "selfie" taken in 2015 on a phone "made in 2011" – 11 years after his death, reports the Daily Star.
The video then plays out a song by rapper Kasinova Tha Don, who sounds just like the former rapper and actor. He has repeatedly refuted claims he is Tupac.

The photograph which sparked a million rumours. Tupac 'with Rihanna'Credit: YouTube
The video received a mixed reaction on YouTube.
One woman wrote: "The guy in the thumbnail looks about the right age, but I hate to see that he's wearing a bandanna.
"This isn't the nineties anymore, show me some real s***, this look like any regular old fool with a nose ring trying to pass himself off as Tupac."
Another wrote: "I can't believe it, he's really alive! My dad is going to be so happy!
Earlier this year Thereportez.com claimed Tupac was living a secret life in Cuba and a photograph of the rapper emerged with pop star Rihanna, who would have been just eight at the time of his death.


So, this was the first proper day of work/school for me, and a real test on whether I could make my lunch given my morning time constraints.
So, forgive the image quality- I tried to use the "Instant" function button, which should be renamed, "Make a clear photo look washed out with a white border that you will never see on white paper".
Here in my awesome hamburger bento I have a Morrocan style carrot salad with 2 pieces of baked fritata on the bottom layer (first courgette of the season from my garden in said fritata.) Layer 2 has the "snacky things" – mini crackers with star shaped cheese slices, carrot sticks, and raw almonds. More blueberry yogurt on the side.
Comments from my workmates ranged from- "Are you nuts?", to "Where did you get the star shaped cheese?" (cut out with cookie cutters). It's all good.
← Orange you interested in my lunch?

Q: Trying to solve Lowest common ancestor
var lowestCommonAncestor = function(root, p, q) {
  // return the path to the node
  let path = []
  const search = (node, target) => {
    if (node === null) return false

    path.push(node)

    if (node === target) return true

    const leftSearched = search(node.left, target)

    if (leftSearched) return true

    pathQ.shift()
  }

  return result
};

console.log(lowestCommonAncestor([3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4],5,1));

Iam getting following error message
const leftSearched = search(node.left, target)
^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'left' of undefined
Could someone help me to fix this issue

A: Leet Code, as some other code challenge sites, will transform the array input (actually the text input having JSON notation) into an instance of TreeNode, and will pass that as argument to the function with your solution code.
When you want to run the solution locally, you'll have to take care of this transformation yourself. For that purpose you could make use of the fromList function -- specifically for binary trees.
NB: you have a bug in your search function. if (node === target) should be if (node.val === target).

// LeetCode template:
function TreeNode(val) {
    this.val = val;
    this.left = this.right = null;
}

// Tool to convert array input to a tree:
function fromList(values) {
    if (!values) return;

    let it = (function* () {
        for (let value of values) {
            yield value == null ? null : new TreeNode(value);
        }
        while (true) yield null;
    })();

    let root = it.next().value;
    let nextlevel = [root];
    while (nextlevel.length) {
        let level = nextlevel;
        nextlevel = [];
        for (let node of level) {
            if (node) {
                node.left = it.next().value;
                node.right = it.next().value;
                nextlevel.push(node.left, node.right);
            }
        }
    }
    return root;
}

// Your function
var lowestCommonAncestor = function(root, p, q) {
  // return the path to the node
  let path = []
  const search = (node, target) => {
    if (node === null) return false;
    path.push(node);
    if (node.val === target) return true;
    const leftSearched = search(node.left, target);
    if (leftSearched) return true;
    const rightSearched = search(node.right,target);
    if (rightSearched) return true;
    path.pop();
  }

  search(root, p);
  const pathP = path;
  path = [];
  search(root, q);
  const pathQ = path;

  let result;
  while(pathP.length > 0 && pathQ.length > 0 && pathP[0] === pathQ[0]) {
    result = pathP[0];
    pathP.shift();
    pathQ.shift();
  }

  return result;
};

// Running your solution on some input
let input = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4];

Q: Webcam sometimes stops working until next reboot when using Microsoft Teams I'm using Microsoft Teams on Ubuntu MATE 20.04, installed via the deb from the website. Sometimes the webcam will stop working and certain things break within Teams - it won't show me new people, allow me to hang up, etc. It's a Logitech C920 webcam and doesn't use any proprietary drivers or any of that nonsense.
Restarting Teams fixes these issues, but doesn't bring the webcam back. Once it's gone, there's no sign of the webcam on the system - no other applications can see it and there's no /dev/video0 (or video1 - normally there is, even if ffplay won't do anything with it). Unplugging the webcam and plugging it back in again doesn't fix this (same port or a different port) but rebooting the computer does.
When shutting down the computer, it hangs on systemd-shutdown[1]: Waiting for process: pulseaudio. No clue if this is causation or correlation.
I've done Ctrl+Alt+Shift+1 within Teams to get some logs, but they don't tell me a great deal and it doesn't seem like a great idea to go and upload them in their entirety somewhere. But if there's anything in there of use, I have it available.

Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord Introduces New Characters, Renders & Profiles; Standard Physical Pre-Orders Available
January 20, 2023 Orpheus Joshua
Publisher Idea Factory International has highlighted the various new characters arriving in the upcoming Compile Heart and Sting-developed tactical JRPG, Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord.
Localization Announcement Coverage
You can view these new characters' renders and profiles below:
A Muse that the group meets while pursuing Dorfa. She's said to be able to imbue her songs with power and grant special skills to herself and those around her, such as the ability to heal wounds or even brainwash others. She can be a bit strange at times, and her understanding of the world is very limited. She loves Al as though he were her father.
Fleur's partner. Being somewhat of a scientist himself, he and Harley get along very well. He is knowledgeable, caring, and easygoing, but he tends to lose himself in his work when he gets interested in something and has a bad habit of running off. He wears a singular goggle on his right eye due to his very poor vision.
A mysterious "Muse" who appeared before Fang and the others. Her songs are said to have the power to brainwash people and alter their memories. She is working with Dorfa to collect Furies for the one she calls Master.
High-spirited and attracted to a pretty face regardless of gender. They like beautiful things and love to hear the latest juicy gossip. Despite their gaudy appearance, they love to cook healthy, modestly flavored Japanese food. A.J. and Bahus, who is prone to cooking more fatty Western foods, are bitter enemies.
Ibfreet & Sui
A young man who was educated at the Dorfa Fencer Training Institute. Though his ability to become a Fencer wasn't recognized until later, Dorfa kept him around due to his incredible skills as an assassin. Quick and flexible, he's extremely dangerous with concealed weapons. He seems to have some kind of history with Zagi.
Sui is Ibfreet's Fairy partner. Until Ibfreet freed it, it drove all who touched its Fury mad. It has the appearance of a pure white snake, and it eats all of its food in one single swallow. When it eats, it eats a lot, which really drives up the food costs.
Rinne & Lenne
Rinne is the result of Dorfa's research to create the world's first Arti-Fencer. Equipped on his arm is the very first False Fury, which has the same power as a naturally occurring one. Despite his young appearance, he has surprisingly cold eyes. The Fairy he travels with looks just like him, and he calls him "brother"…
Lenne is an Arti-Fairy who is fused with Rinne through the False Fury equipped to him. He gives Rinne the power to be an Arti-Fencer. Rinne calls him "his real blood-related brother," but…
The profiles of the returning characters can be viewed via the official website. Additionally, pre-orders for the title's standard edition are now available via several retailers for $49.99.
Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord's official website houses links to each participating retailer.
Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord follows Fang and his group as they run into a woman named Glace, who has the ability to brainwash people with her siren song. A woman named Fleur joins the party who shares this ability, and it's learned they are known as Muses, which allow them to change or boost other peoples' abilities with their singing.
Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord will launch PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam in Spring 2023 in North America and Europe.

Q: Oracle OUT SYS_REFCURSOR for JPA entity always null I'm trying to fetch rows using a PLSQL stored procedure, saving them into a JPA entity.
I'm using ojbdc7, spring-boot-starter-data-jpa and spring-boot 2.2.1.
This is my procedure:
create or replace PACKAGE BODY pkg_test
AS
    PROCEDURE getAll(res OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
    IS
    BEGIN
        OPEN res FOR SELECT * FROM employee;
    END getAll;

END pkg_test;

and my entity is:
package com.stefanocapra.plsql.entities;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.NamedStoredProcedureQueries;
import javax.persistence.NamedStoredProcedureQuery;
import javax.persistence.ParameterMode;
import javax.persistence.StoredProcedureParameter;

import antlr.collections.List;

@Entity
@NamedStoredProcedureQueries({
    @NamedStoredProcedureQuery(
            name = "getAll",
            procedureName = "pkg_test.getAll",
            resultClasses = Employee.class,
            parameters = {
                    @StoredProcedureParameter(mode = ParameterMode.REF_CURSOR, type = void.class)
            })
})
public class Employee {

    @Id
    @Column(name = "employee_id")
    private Long id;

    @Column(name = "first_name")
    private String firstName;

    @Column(name = "last_name")
    private String lastName;

    @Column(name = "salary")
    private String salary;

    @Column(name = "department_number")
    private String departmentNumber;

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }
    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }
    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }
    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public String getSalary() {
        return salary;
    }
    public void setSalary(String salary) {
        this.salary = salary;
    }

    public String getDepartmentNumber() {
        return departmentNumber;
    }
    public void setDepartmentNumber(String departmentNumber) {
        this.departmentNumber = departmentNumber;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "name = " + this.getFirstName() +
                " - last name = " + this.getLastName() +
                " - salary = " + this.getSalary();
    }
}

If i call the procedure with:
List<Employee> employees = repository.getAll();, the list is always a null object.
I've already checked and the procedure is working.
The employee table is:

*

*EMPLOYEE_ID NUMBER(19)

*FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(255)

*LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(255)

*SALARY VARCHAR2(255)

*DEPARTMENT_NUMBER VARCHAR2(255)
Why? What should i do?

A: From what I've seen online on various pages concerning this very thing, hibernate does not support ref cursors. Hibernate gives me this exception:
"REF_CURSOR parameters should be accessed via results; nested exception is org.hibernate.procedure.ParameterMisuseException: REF_CURSOR parameters should be accessed via results"
I was able to get things working by doing something like this.
EntityManager entityManager = entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager()
StoredProcedureQuery query = entityManager.createStoredProcedureQuery("SCHEMA.PROC_NAME", MyObject.class)

query.registerStoredProcedureParameter(1, String.class, ParameterMode.IN)
query.registerStoredProcedureParameter(2, String.class, ParameterMode.IN)
query.registerStoredProcedureParameter(3, MyObject.class, ParameterMode.REF_CURSOR)
query.setParameter(1, "parameter1")
query.setParameter(2, "parameter2")

query.execute()
List<MyObject> results = query.getResultList()

A: Try changing the type of the procedure parameter.
@StoredProcedureParameter(mode = ParameterMode.REF_CURSOR, type = ResultSet.class)

Guinea Bissau: Fact emulates fiction – not always unhelpfully
Perhaps flushed with pride at the country's recent appearance in the pages of a Frederick Forsyth novel, Guinea Bissau fact continues to emulate fiction. According to Reuters, Bubo Na Tchuto has been re-appointed as the country's new Navy head. This despite his alleged role in an earlier coup attempt and the inclusion of his name on a US list of people believed to be intimately involved with the narcotics trade in Guinea Bissau.
It is increasingly hard to read the signals from Bissau. The Prime Minister continues to sing from a hymn sheet broadly acceptable to the international donors and organisations concerned with stabilisation and development in Guinea Bissau, but the actions of the Government continue to be at odds with his words. The PM knows that Guinea Bissau's image needs some serious polishing, and he has set about improving accountability and transparency within his sphere of influence within the Government. But the continued tenure of Antonio Injai, the new Chief of the Defence Staff following the 1 April mutiny, and the re-appointment of Bubo suggest that the politics of the ruling elite in Bissau has still not settled down. It is reasonable to expect more instability and disturbance from Bissau over the coming months, not least as the various factions seem to be out courting different international partners ranging from the European Union to Iran and Libya.
Sailing serenely through these decidedly troubled waters is Angola. A series of top level Bisssau Guinean military and civilian visitors have called at Luanda in recent months, and it seems clear that Angola is keen to partner many of them. Angola has commercial interest in Guinea Bissau for sure, but it is perhaps the case that Angola is also looking for a trouble spot in which to assert itself as a force for good. The African Union has appointed an Angolan as its Special Representative in Bissau, and Luanda seems to be doing a fairly good job of playing all sides. The jury is out on why Angola is engaging – beyond the obvious Lusophone connections. The proof of this particular pudding may well lie not in why they engage, but in what they do. Despite the oft repeated commitment of many to security sector reform in Guinea Bissau, the real issue is in fact military reform. If Angola can reign in the military, then they will have done something useful.
But Angola doesn't have a free hand. Nigeria has recently woken up to Angola's interest in Bissau. Long just about cordial rivals facing each other across the Gulf of Guinea, Nigeria is unlikely to welcome a heavy Angolan footprint in Guinea Bissau. Angola's apparent willingness to contribute to a military stabilisation force is likely to annoy Nigeria. But if the threat of doing so wakes Nigeria up to the problem in its backyard, it may yet prove the catalyst for better preventive action by the regional grouping, ECOWAS.

Spinal cord stimulation and physical therapy have helped a man paralysed since 2013 regain his ability to stand and walk with assistance, say scientists, offering hope to people with backbone injury.
Spinal cord stimulation is a kind of therapy that masks pain signals before they reach the brain. A small device, similar to a pacemaker, is implanted in the body to deliver electrical pulses to the spinal cord. With an implanted stimulator turned on, the man was able to step with a front-wheeled walker while trainers provided occasional assistance, according to the research published in the journal Nature Medicine.
He made 113 rehabilitation visits over a year, and achieved results during individual sessions, said researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Mayo Clinic in the US. "What this is teaching us is that those networks of neurons below a spinal cord injury still can function after paralysis," said Kendall Lee, a neurosurgeon and director of Mayo Clinic's Neural Engineering Laboratories.
In the study, the man's spinal cord was stimulated by an implanted electrode, enabling neurons to receive the signal that he wanted to stand or step. Currently, as a safety precaution, the patient takes steps only under the supervision of the research team.
The man who is now 29, injured his spinal cord at the thoracic vertebrae in the middle of his back in a snowmobile accident in 2013. He was diagnosed with a complete loss of function below the spinal cord injury, meaning he could not move or feel anything below the middle of his torso.
In the study, which began in 2016, the man participated in 22 weeks of physical therapy and then had an electrode surgically implanted by Lee and his team. The implant sits in the epidural space to the outermost part of the spinal canal at a specific location below the injured area.
The electrode connects to a pulse generator device under the skin of the man's abdomen and communicates wirelessly with an external controller. The research team then tried to determine if the man could stand and walk with assistance.During 113 rehabilitation sessions, the researchers adjusted stimulation settings, trainer assistance, harness support and speed of the treadmill to allow the man maximum independence.
The research demonstrated that the man was able to walk over ground using a front-wheeled walker and step on a treadmill placing his arms on support bars to help with balance.However, when stimulation was off, the man remained paralysed. In the first week, the participant used a harness to lower his risk of falling and to provide upper body balance.
Trainers were positioned at his knees and hips to help him stand, swing his legs and shift his weight. Since the man did not regain sensation, he initially used mirrors to view his legs, and trainers described leg position, movement and balance.
By week 25, his injury was recovered and he did not need a harness, and trainers offered only occasional help. By the end of the study period, the man learned to use his entire body to transfer weight, maintain balance and propel forward, requiring minimal verbal cues and periodic glances at his legs.

Peterborough United manager Steve Evans has challenged his under-employed squad members to force their way into the first team by playing well in tomorrow's Checkatrade Trophy tie at MK Dons (September 4, 7.45pm).
Evans will make wholesale changes to his starting line-up, as many as the competition rules allow, which means the likes of goalkeeper Conor O'Malley, defenders Darren Lyon and Josh Yorwerth, midfielders Louis Reed, George Cooper and Callum Cooke, wingers Marcus Maddison and Isaac Buckley-Ricketts, striker Ivan Toney and latest signing Jamie Walker all have a chance of being involved at Stadium MK.

Posh have kept the same starting line-up for the opening six matches of the League One season, but their standards dipped badly in Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Doncaster. Posh were lucky to get out of the game with a point that kept them top of the League One table.
"I want to win the Checkatrade Trophy," Evans announced. "But I want to win promotion from League One much more and that means getting some competitive match time into the players who haven't been involved much so far this season.
"We will make changes, but we will still be fielding a strong, competitive side and the challenge for those involved is obvious.
"If they want to get into the League One team they need to play well at MK Dons. They have to make me want to pick them at Southend this Saturday.
Posh striker Ivan Toney could start at MK Dons.
Walker is expected to start following his transfer deadline day arrival on loan from Wigan.
"Jamie is a class act," Evans added. "He has scored against the biggest clubs during his time with Hearts which is why Wigan paid big money for him.
Midfielder Callum Cooke could be involved for Posh at MK Dons.
