Ratings and Reviews
Thank you, Houdini!
I never write reviews but I just had to for Houdini. I used another playlist transfer app upon my switch to Apple Music, but I went in to find short playlists, random songs missing and it was just a disaster. I deleted them all and installed Houdini. Well, it was just awesome. Found all my songs (even the weird obscure ones) and transferred them flawlessly in order and notified me of any it couldn't find. I'm now fully transferred over and don't have to worry that any songs are missing. The $2.99 price tag is also super economical, considering some of its competitors' prices. Thanks for a great app!
Nearly perfect transfer app
Houdini is definitely miles ahead of the other music streaming transfer apps (namely Stamp). Other apps tend to not transfer up to 40% of the songs. It's rare that Houdini doesn't transfer or at least find a similar match. My only issue is that when the songs transfer, they don't transfer with the artwork I had on my previous subscription. It also tends to shuffle the list so that they are not in the same order as my original playlist. All that said, it's definitely not the end of the world, and this is easily the best one to choose.
Hands down, the best transferring app out there. It's just $3 compared to stamp which is $10 (which is honestly just oppressive, smh). ALSO, their UI is beautiful, it quickly and simply walks you through step by step. and, the few times they don't get a song, they give you the option to export into your notes which is a game changer :D now i can go back and just manually search for those songs. keep up the great work!

What are clinical trials?
Clinical trials are medical studies that involve normal people like you and me.
They're used to develop new treatments for many different types of cancer by looking at:
- • Screening people – who has a higher risk of cancer?
- • The risks and causes of cancer – what lifestyle choices, genetics, and other factors affect our chances of having cancer?
- • Cancer prevention – which lifestyle changes or medication can reduce our risk?
- • Cancer diagnosis – which new technologies can detect cancer earlier?
- • Treatments – what new types of medication can help?
- • Side-effects of treatment – how can we control these?
How does a clinical trial work?
Medicines move from being 'experimental' to 'standard' along a clinical 'pathway' that's checked and regulated at every stage. Clinical trials are categorised based on how much research has already been carried out.
Phase I trials
We don't ask our patients to take part in Phase 1 trials that haven't been tested on people before. But you may be able to take part in a trial for a drug that's previously been used to treat another condition, so we're confident that it's safe. Taking part will help us understand whether this drug can help patients with your type of cancer.
Phase II trials
These focus on how effective the drug is at treating your type of cancer. As with Phase I trials, Phase II trials are classed as 'early phase'.
Phase III trials
These involve larger patient groups. A new drug is compared to the current 'gold standard' treatment. These trials are sometimes known as 'late phase' clinical trials.
Will taking part in a trial work for me?
A clinical trial might be a good option if:
- • You've already tried the standard treatments for your type of cancer. A clinical trial offers the chance that a new drug treatment could work better
- • You're already on a standard treatment – taking a new type of medication might have extra beneficial effects
- • You're not obliged in any way to take part in a clinical trial, it's always your decision. You'll be able to talk about all your options with your doctor
GenesisCare in Australia
We currently have over 20 centres across five states in Australia, running clinical trials for the following types of cancer:
- • Breast
- • Prostate
- • Brain
- • Melanoma
- • Head and neck
We work with leading research organisations including:
- • TROG – Trans Tasman Radiation Oncology Group
- • Breast Cancer Trials
- • AGITG – Australasian Gastro Intestinal Trials Group
- • ANZUP – Australian and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate Cancer Trials Group

Gucci: In the Line of Fire
Alessandro Michele turns fashion alchemist to meld history with a powerful present
A line of fire lit the runway of the Gucci Cruise 2019 collection, presented in an ancient Roman necropolis in Arles
Candles flickering beside ancient stone tombs, a line of fire running down the dusty pathway and a church silhouetted against the dying light - that was the atmospheric Gucci Cruise 2019 show, held in the southern French city of Arles.
The fiery setting for the Gucci Cruise 2019 collection in Arles
Ronan Gallagher
It was an evening of magic and wonder, as figures walked the Alyscamps – an ancient Roman necropolis – wearing the crucifix as an essential memento mori, the feather as another symbol, and a dancing devil motif taken from Hollywood's Château Marmont – all part of the tangle of historic references from Creative Director Alessandro Michele.

By the time the designer was sitting in jeans among the audience, swaying his long hair to the rhythm of Elton John's live performance, there was a sense of wide-eyed wonder. Gucci had pulled off the most dramatic show, completing the trilogy of Cruise collections following Dior in Paris, Louis Vuitton in Cannes, and now the Italian designer's walk on the wild side.
The fact that it had been raining buckets all day in Arles, but the heavens closed just for the length of the show, made it an extraordinary feat on every level. And that's not to mention the more than 100 outfits, including historic capes, schoolgirl jackets, a bodice made out of bones, wisps of feathers, bouquets of dying flowers, and a sense that mourning regalia had switched from traditional black to pink – as well as the realisation that menswear is in a new, fiery, gender-neutral world.

Michele was quick to point out that the Alyscamps in this ancient area was not quite the noble historic burial ground it seemed – and that a mash-up of history is just how he likes it.
"Alyscamps has a rock'n'roll soul, it has a gothic look, and in the 1700s this place was fashionable to visit," he explained, insisting in a tumble of show notes that "Alyscamps is a Roman cemetery, but it's not a cemetery; it was a promenade, then it became a walk in 1700. It is a hybrid place that has several significances."
Flamboyant accessories punctuated the Gucci Cruise 2019 collection
But Michele – who also touched on the macabre in his Autumn/Winter 2018 show, which had models walk out holding replicas of their own heads – admitted that he sees "death as fascination".
A haunting look from Gucci Cruise 2019
How does all this ghoulish stuff, some suggesting a crazy Halloween night, fit with a luxury brand? Perfectly! Breaking apart the cornucopia of clothes and accessories, here was a cloak, there a sports shoe. Funky accessories melded with fabulous florals. Patterns ranged from sweet 18th-century meadow flowers to 1970s Pop-Art patterns. Priestly cloaks swished by while other pieces for both sexes were body conscious and brief.
Symbols of Freemasonry ran throughout the Gucci Cruise 2019 collection

From this abundance comes the glory of Gucci. It makes a massive fashion statement and sells a mass of goods for the Kering parent company, whose sales are zooming upwards with dizzying speed.
François-Henri Pinault, Chairman and CEO Kering, said that one important part of the inter-season shows is that the company invites clients, making sense of the concept of a stand-alone spectacle, rather than a show crammed amongst others. "Without the constraint of other shows, it can be more of an event," Pinault said.
Gucci Cruise 2019 mixed styles from diverse historic eras
Although Michele's essence is in the spirit of Rome, ancient or modern, Marco Bizzarri, Gucci's President and CEO, confirmed that the next Gucci show will take place during the Paris Ready-to-Wear season.
Key footwear looks for Gucci Cruise 2019

In the intricacy of detail that cannot be seen on stage, Michele has embroidered the words of Dante's Divine Comedy as decoration on the clothes. And there is certainly a divine fashion comedy in Michele's mix of rappers and priests; of Billy Idol and Elton John, whom Gucci will dress for his three-year farewell tour. To take one of those archaic words that Michele embraces, this splendid, powerful and thrilling Gucci show proved Michele is a fashion alchemist who can stir up a magical mix.

'"I think there's been a little bit of shift in the National Hockey League," Regier said Monday at HSBC Arena. "When we came out of the lockout the game was designed for speed – speed and skill. And over the last few years I think there's been a shift back to more size and more physical play, and I think you have to – in our case felt we needed to – respond to that."'

'"Regardless of what happens in the next week or two weeks, we're going to work to see if we can improve the hockey club," Regier said. "It doesn't have to all come through unrestricted signings or free agent signings. It can come through trades. I just think there will be more work over the course of the summer this year than probably in the past."'

At the City Council meeting on Wednesday, December 1, listeners got good news about the "State of the City" as Mayor Jordan Ehrenkranz gave the following message:
I am proud to have served as Canyon Lake's Mayor for 2015, which happens to be the City's 25th anniversary year. Canyon Lake's City Council and staff members have worked hard this year, and a lot of big things happened.
First and foremost in everyone's mind for a majority of this year was the City's dispute with the County for fire services, and the ensuing emergency declaration. We filed our Declaratory Relief action in July of this year, but I am proud to announce that due to the hard work and diligence of everyone involved, the legal dispute was settled in late September.
This brought an end to several years of dispute and has repaired the City's relationship with the County. Moving forward it looks like we will continue to have a positive relationship. On that note, the City has also formed and appointed Council members to the Fire Department Start-up Committee and we are continuing to move forward with pursuing our own municipal fire department.
The next major change that the City had this year was the collection of the Utility Users Tax. Collection of the tax started in March and was in full swing by mid-calendar year. It was approved to help the City close its budget gap, and it has definitely done that.
The Utility User Tax is performing better than anticipated and should bring in approximately $950,000 per fiscal year. This is going to help the City get back on its feet and help provide funding for the initial start-up of a Fire Department when the time comes to that. This is a huge victory for the City, and it looks like the City may be operating in the black for the first time in a few years.
The City has continued to support its residents with Community Development Block Grant funding for repair of mobile homes for our residents in need.
This past month we also held the annual Turkey Drive for HOPE, and had a total of 87 turkeys donated. Our top donors this year were Coldwell Banker, the Canyon Lake Car Club and the 9ers Golf Club. Even though they didn't make it to the Turkey Drive on that day, the POA will be donating 10 hams to HOPE, which is being matched by the POA's legal counsel, Silldorf & Levine LLP, for a total of 20 hams donated to help our community through the holiday season.
We also had a wonderful Veterans Day event again this year, organized and put together by our Veterans Committee, Council Member Vicki Warren and Mayor Pro-Tem Tim Brown, along with a whole host of volunteers. I would like to personally thank our Veterans Committee and all of the volunteers who made the Veterans Day Ceremony as great as it was this year.
Earlier this year, the City Council held a strategic planning session and updated the City's Mission Statement, Vision Statement, Key Imperatives and goals. Solving the City's dispute over fire services was a major portion of that discussion, but it wasn't the only topic.
Law enforcement services were looked into as part of those planning goals and there was a study on the cost of starting our own department. Despite the challenges revealed by that study, we will continue to look into how we can save money on our law enforcement costs once our Fire Department is settled.
We are also looking into our services for Building, Planning, Engineering and Public Works this year as part of the City Council's strategic plan goals to see if there is a better way to serve the public. An RFP for those services was put out for the first time in 10 to 15 years.
In the theme of serving the public, City Hall began accepting credit card payments. It also revived its Facebook page so residents can easily access and share press releases, meeting information and other important announcements.
The City's website was updated this year with the generous help of Mayor Pro-Tem Brown and resident Robert Reeves. They dedicated hours of hard work to getting a new website up and running, and our staff members are continuing to update the website and have started to post the recordings of all City Council and committee meetings on the website.
The City's PEG channel also received an overhaul this year. Now there is content playing on the PEG channel to notify residents of POA and City news, as well as rerunning POA and City meetings for residents who were unable to attend them. Keep an eye out for a schedule being published in The Friday Flyer, the City's website and the City's Facebook page.
Also new this year, the City is participating in low-cost microchipping for pets, and free spay and neuter vouchers. This program is offered to our residents through Animal Friends of the Valleys.
Lastly, the shining star of our community is our lake. The water quality in the lake has improved tremendously through the alum treatment program. There were two treatments this year, which brought the current alum treatment program to a close. The treatments were so successful in improving water clarity that residents have reported seeing fish swimming near their docks for the first time in years. In fact, the treatments were successful enough that there is a plan to have them continue.
None of these accomplishments would have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our City Council and staff members. I would like to recognize each person individually for their contributions.
Council Member Dawn Haggerty was elected in last year's election and serves on the City's Public Safety Committee and Fire Department Start-up Committee. She also served on the ad hoc committee that looked into the Police Department cost study, and she represented the City at Riverside County Transportation Commission meetings.
Council Member Vicki Warren was also elected in last year's election and serves on the City's Water Committee and Veterans Committee, and she represented the City at Lake Elsinore San Jacinto Watersheds Authority and at the Southwest Communities Finance Authority Joint Powers Association for the animal shelter meetings.
Council Member John Zaitz was appointed in January of this year to fill the seat of Nancy Horton, who was elected to the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District Board. He serves on the City's Administration and Finance Committee and Planning Committee. He represented the City at Riverside Transit Agency and League of California Cities meetings.
Council Member Tim Brown served as the City's Mayor Pro-Tem this past year, as well as serving on the City's Administration and Finance Committee, Planning Committee and Veterans Committee. He also represented the City at Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority and Regional Task Force on Health meetings.
I have served as the City's Mayor this past year, as well as serving on the City's Public Safety Committee and Water Committee. I have also represented the City at Western Riverside Council of Governments, Southwest Cities Coalition, League of California Cities, Southern California Association of Governments, and South Coast Air Quality Management District meetings.
Our Interim City Manager Ariel Hall was appointed early this year, and she has been working full time in our office making sure that everything runs as smoothly as possible. Prior to her new appointment, she was working in City Hall as our Administrative Services Manager and City Clerk.
Replacing Ariel as the Admin Services Manager is Kirsten Rowe, who has hit the ground running when she got here and has been working diligently on our contracts, emergency management procedures and policies.
Courtney Shurtleff got a promotion this year to Deputy City Clerk and has been working hard on learning new tasks, including agenda packets for City Council and Committee meetings, minutes, business licenses, political filings, and will be learning how to conduct elections in the upcoming year.
The City's newest hire has come in and is being great in the office. Ruby Jimenez is usually the first face you see when you come into City Hall, and she has been providing excellent customer service to our residents.
Our City's Finance Department was contracted out to RAMS. Terry Shea has continued to be our accountant, and Michelle Gomez is in the office providing excellent service to any of our residents who need assistance.
David Alvarez is in City Hall on Wednesdays serving our residents' needs for the Planning Department. He fits right in with our staff. Also in our planning department is Russell Brady, who works in the background for the City on many planning issues.
Our Building Department has seen an increase in activity with the increase in building, and is staffed by Building Official Richard Shields, Building Inspector Leonard Patzer and Permit Technician Sharon Barrett.
Our Special Enforcement Officers, Ivan Henery, Mike Feeney and Marianne Parker, have been working ensure that the BLM stays clean and safe for the enjoyment of our residents.
Our Code Enforcement Officer Jean Voshall has been working to make sure our neighborhoods stay maintained by citing for issues with abandoned vehicles and yard maintenance, among other things.
Nancy Carroll has continued to dedicate herself to assisting the City in planning for emergencies via the Canyon Lake Emergency Preparedness Committee, which held a drill, meetings and training this year.
Betsy Martyn, our City Attorney, has continued to represent the City.
I would like to also say a special thank you to our police department representatives from Riverside County Sheriff's Department, Police Capt. Mike Judge and Lt. Earl Quinata.
Last but not least, I would like to recognize the Riverside County Fire Department, and especially, Fire Chief John Hawkins, Deputy Chief Steve Curley, Deputy Chief Glenn Patterson, Division Chief Geoff Pemberton and Battalion Chief Jorge Rodriguez.

Writing for D&D
I do a lot of writing that never sees the light of day to the big wide world. It's consumed on an almost weekly basis by five people instead. I DM a group for a Fourth Edition D&D game, set in the world of Poisonroot but borrowing a lot of things from proper D&D (like races, dragons, magic, gods, planes...) We've been playing for over a year now, coming up on 18 months on and off. We can't meet every week; it's staggering that six busy professionals can get together anything like regularly, really. But we get together enough to see a story.
I love doing it. I really enjoy telling stories and being part of a bigger story makes me happy; I hope it makes the players happy too. Early on in the game I decided it would be useful to have a database that the players and I could add to, building up a picture of the world. It works for me in my writing as well; I can draw on some of the ideas and concepts used by the players.
Anyway, it's all there, free for everyone to read. Going on for eighty pages now, and I'm trying to add one every day or so to keep it up to date. I'm hoping that, as it's fleshed out, the players might add or change bits.
It's available here.

EMT to immediately review Revenue Code
MONROVIA-The Economic Management Team (EMT) has commissioned an immediate review of the recent amendments to the Revenue Code.
The review will correct provisions inconsistent with the requirements of the ECOWAS Common External Tariff (CET) regime.
The ECOWAS Common External Tariff (CET) regime allows a three-year accession window to avert any unfair burden being placed on the business community and consumers.
Following a review of the amendments, a new bill correcting the identified inconsistencies will be submitted to the National Legislature for passage into law.
According to an Executive Mansion release issued on February 6, 2017, the decision was reached during separate meetings of Economic Management Team and the cabinet, under the leadership of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
The release further stated that the meetings were convened to address the current economic situation in Liberia, with emphasis on enhancing ongoing efforts to ensure modification through agriculture and manufacturing.
During the meeting, the Economic Management Team and Cabinet also spoke about a steady decline and stability in the Liberian Dollar to US Dollar rate as a result of continuing efforts by the Central Bank of Liberia and the Finance Ministry over the past weeks.

School Board Threatens Family over Birth Certificate Demand
by Scott Woodruff • June 13, 2018
The Franklin County School Board recently adopted a policy that forbids parents from providing home instruction unless they submit their children's birth certificates, as well as documents to prove the family resides in the county.
When a school representative demanded those documents from the Sosebee family, the Sosebees asked Home School Legal Defense Association for help.
I told the school representative that Virginia law does not empower school boards to insist that families submit those documents. The school board refused to budge. In fact, they pushed even further and threatened the family with enforcement action if they did not submit to the unlawful demands.
Members of HSLDA, the Sosebees authorized us to file a lawsuit on their behalf. HSLDA attorney Peter Kamakawiwoole filed a petition asking the court to declare that Franklin's policy is unlawful.
With the deadline for filing the annual notice of intent approaching in August, we will be moving aggressively to get the judge to take quick action—unless the school commits to suspending its policy.

Actress Ashley Greene might be running her first 10k this weekend (the Oakley NYMini) in Central Park, but she's no stranger to working up a sweat. In fact, when we asked Greene to weigh in on how she handles recovery after a hard training session, she gamely identified two key components: stretching and hydration.
Greene describers herself as "competitive and stubborn," with an "I can do anything" attitude when it comes to fitness. But when it came to fighting regular pain and stiffness in her quad, due in part to an unfortunate femur break when she was 12 that created scar tissue, Greene, with the advice of her trainer, mandated regular stretching and the use of a roller. "Not stretching causes injuries and strain," Greene says. "Pain and frustration are great motivators." Three of Greene's favorite post-workout stretches are aimed at areas that need the extra attention: opening her hip flexors and groin, her quads, and her calves. And as for that roller, the actress adds, "The roller is my best friend. It's painful, but it guarantees that I'll sleep better if I use it right before bed."
Prior to race day, Greene knows to avoid foods that can dehydrate her, like asparagus, which the actress loves. "I'm a huge water advocate, but taking in too much water is actually a negative," says Greene, who regularly keeps hydrated with coconut water and electrolyte drinks like Gatorade. On race day, her plan is to take advantage of the aid stations, keeping her thirst quenched as she runs.
Because having a good recovery plan is vital to an athlete's success post-race, we connected with Kim Mueller, a full-time registered dietitian and board-certified specialist in sports dietetics (she does not work with Greene), and asked her to weigh in on some best practices for an active recovery. This is what she shared.

Start Your Own Travel BusinessWritten by Seth Cotterell
Starting one's own travel business is a dream shared by many people around the world. Travel is something people can be passionate about, and that translates into high motivation and potentially high rewards. The prospects are exciting, but getting started can be frightening without the proper outlook and preparation.
Steps to Starting Your Own Travel Business
The first and most important thing you'll need to start your own travel business is the right attitude. Getting started can be stressful, but the personal and monetary rewards you can earn from running your own business will far outweigh the initial difficulties. Being excited and upbeat about your future prospects is the best way to help you get and stay motivated through the early days as you get your business up and running.
Once you have the right attitude, planning is everything. Ask yourself some important questions such as, how much will it cost to get your business of the ground? Start-up costs can be high, so make sure you have adequate financial planning and resources to get you through until your business starts making money. Even if you expect it to turn a profit quickly, it is a good idea to have a few months' income saved up in case there are some unforeseen complications.
If you're starting a travel business, the odds are good that you'll do most of your business online. You may want to research other online travel businesses to see how they find the best deals. There are even some internet business people who are willing to teach you their secrets of success, for a small fee. Arm yourself with information and a positive outlook and you just might have the opportunity to free yourself from wage slavery by becoming your own boss in a very exciting industry.

International Day!
In math, we started the week with some work on Mathletics. Please remember to keep practicing at home, as there are sometimes assigned tasks based on student need. We explored doubling and halving. Students looked for connections between the two concepts. We also played several math games, which reinforced these concepts and reviewed odd and even numbers. Please continue to work with your children at home on doubling and halving. This will be important as we move into money. Students participated in the thinking routine called, 'Chalk Talk'. There were 4 tables, each with a different question or statement. Students worked silently to respond to each other's questions and comments and then recorded their own ideas in their math journal before sharing with the class. Students responded to:
* Money is...
* Money is important because...
* Questions and wonderings about money
* How does money connect to our new unit of inquiry?
We also looked at various coins and recorded our thoughts about what we noticed. Next week we will continue examining the value of coins and work to create equal amounts.
In literacy, we continued exploring complete vs. incomplete sentences and recognised sentences could be long or short, but needed to have a subject and verb. Students went on a work hunt to locate verbs in books, and then used these verbs in their own sentences. Next week we will look at verb tenses, as well as simple vs. complex sentences. Most students are able to identify the needed components for a complete sentence; however, many students are unable to apply this knowledge consistently in their writing yet.
When investigating our central idea, groups worked together to use a dictionary to find the definition of a certain word: exchange, systems, help or community. We learned that dictionaries can help us learn how to spell a word and they can also help us learn what a word means. Students used the Chrome Books and Slides to capture their thoughts and ideas about the central idea. We will continue to add to this project throughout the unit. Students also participated in a 'book walk', exploring various books that connected to our unit. They identified pictures, words and topics that they thought might relate to our unit.
As a part of our Unit 2 Inquiry, we are exploring exchange systems. We will be having a "Swap Shop" in late October. Over the holiday break, we would like for students to bring an item or two that they might like to swap with another student. Items that be brought in are ones that don't get played with anymore or don't seem to have a use anymore. They could also be things the student has made. We ask that the students bring their item(s) by 26th October.
Thursday afternoon, we practiced the parade of nations in preparation for International Day on Friday. Friday was filled with fun, as the middle and high school students worked to share information in fun ways with the students through various workshops. We also rotated through classrooms where we learned about Japan, the United States of America, and Greece. It was a fun filled day, which ended with the fabulous food buffet.
We will not be giving homework over the holidays, but please continue to read with your child. When we return to school after the holidays, our first day back is on the 21 October (a Wednesday). World Maths Day is on Friday, and as we will be doing various math activities on this day, our normal routines for this first week back may be altered - Words Their Way will begin again the following week on the 26th.
Please remember to send your child to school with cutlery, as we are working to save the plastic and recycling the containers. Students who have a decent amount of lunch left over are being encouraged to take it home, in case they want to finish it later or share with their family. We also ask that students bring in their own headphones or earbuds, if they haven't done so already. These can be kept in their cubbies and used when we need sound on the Chrome Books.
Have a relaxing break,
Ms. Luttrell

Keywords: Jenkins - Amazon Web Services - How to - OtherDescription: Hello, everyone:
I have bitnami jenkins released in an ec2 instance of AWS. On the same machine I am launching my pipeline in which I use docker for several processes, one of them launching a database and a tomcat for a.war application. The fact is that I want to be able to access it from a subdomain or another domain (the application I launch in that docker container to be able to observe the changes).
For this I am using traefik and I can see all the containers running within the same EC2 network. I can also redirect it to a certain url. What I don't know is how to create a new subdomain to make this work. Traefic launched it with the following command (so you can see how I map the ports):
sudo docker run -d -p 9090:8080 -p 8888:80 --network public --name traefik -v $PWD/traefik.toml:/etc/traefik/traefik.toml -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock traefik
The traefic configuration file is the following in pastebin:link to configuration file in pastebin
From what I have seen, the bitnami application uses tomcat, correct me if not. I have the domain in freenom, since it is a test that I am doing.
It would be worthwhile to create a subdomain, as well as an extension: http://midominio.ga/test
Thank you very much, any help is welcome.
Hi @hugo.lm
I did not fully understand your request.My understanding is that you have a Jenkins EC2 instance running on AWS. However, you stated that you have a different pipeline which uses docker.
I miss what this pipeline is (another Jenkins?, the Jenkins running on the instance?, a set of scripts that test your app+db setup?).
Also, is this application based on the Bitnami Tomcat container? I am not sure if your question about Tomcat is related to Jenkins or this application.
It would be very helpful if you could share an example of what you are trying to achieve. You can use random IPs and give them random domains, ie: 22.214.171.124 (my.foo.ec2 instance), 18.104.22.168 (my.foo.container).
Joseda Rios
Hi @jdrios , first of all thank you very much. I'll try to explain my case better. I have an EC2 instance running bitnami jenkins. Inside my pipeline I have the following:
stage ('Postgres: despliegue inicial de la base de datos') {
def dbImage = docker.build("catalogador/catalogador-tfg-db:${BRANCH_NAME}","--label jenkins ./database")
dbHostname = "${BRANCH_NAME}-${BUILD_NUMBER}-db"
db = dbImage.run("-p 5432:5432 --network public --name ${dbHostname}")
timeout(time: 3, unit: 'MINUTES') {
sh "until [ \$(docker logs ${dbHostname} --tail 50 2>&1 | grep 'init process complete' | wc -l) -gt 0 ]; do sleep 10; done"
stage ('Tomcat: despliegue de la aplicación') {
def webImage = docker.build("asd/asd-tfg-app:${BRANCH_NAME}","--label jenkins ./appserver")
def webJavaOpts = "-Dspring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://${dbHostname}:5432/${dbName} " +
"-Dspring.datasource.username=${dbUser} " +
"-Dspring.datasource.password=${dbPassword} "
webHostname = "${BRANCH_NAME}-${BUILD_NUMBER}-app"
def proxyOpts = "-l 'traefik.frontend.rule=Host:${testingDomainName};PathPrefixStrip:/${webProxyPrefixPath}' " +
"-l 'traefik.port=9090'"
web = webImage.run("-p 9999:8080 -p 9898:80 --network public --link ${dbHostname} --name ${webHostname} -e JAVA_OPTS='${webJavaOpts}' ${proxyOpts}")
timeout(time: 3, unit: 'MINUTES') {
sh "until [ \$(docker logs ${webHostname} --tail 50 2>&1 | grep 'Server startup' | wc -l) -gt 0 ]; do sleep 10; done"
What I want to know is how to create a subdomain within this EC2 instance using Bitnami Jenkins. So instead of accessing my application through http: //mydomain:9999, you can access it through the url of the subdomain http: //subdomain.mydomain.com or the normal domain with an extension http:// mydomain.com/extension. I don't know how to do it because the image of bitnami jenkins has tomcat, apache2, etc. I don't even know which one it is using. I think tomcat, because that's where he's got the jenkins war. Even create each time I run my pipeline a different subdomain could be great.
Thank you again.
Hi @hugo.lm,
My understanding is that you want to have dynamic subdomains for each of the different executions of your application, which are testing runs executed in Jenkins.
The Bitnami Jenkins stack includes apache2, yes, so the approach here would be to create a wildcard subdomain in apache2 that is proxied to traefik, which in turn would manage redirecting to the appropriate container.

Listen to this article
Vodafone on Wednesday sought to ease mounting tension between it and the Essar Group over the UK company's deal to buy a controlling stake in Hutchison Essar, India's fourth-largest mobile operator.
But even as Vodafone said it hoped Essar would stay on as a partner in the joint venture, it pointed out that the Indian conglomerate's influence was limited to that of a 33 per cent stakeholder.
"We welcome Essar to stay and build this company," said Arun Sarin, chief executive of Vodafone, in New Delhi on Wednesday. "My first, second and third preference is that Essar stays."
But asked whether Vodafone would share management control of Hutchison Essar, Mr Sarin said: "A 33 per cent stake is better than a 5 or 10 per cent stake but it not a controlling stake."
He added, "Our dealings with them are completely consistent with being a 33 per cent partner."
On Sunday Vodafone emerged the winner of a four-way race to buy a 67 per cent stake in Hutchison Essar from Hutchison Whampoa, the Hong Kong conglomerate. The deal values Hutchison Essar at nearly $19bn.
Essar is displeased with a preliminary agreement between Vodafone and Bharti Airtel, India's leading mobile operator, to share 70,000 telecom towers and save infrastructure costs during rural expansion.
On Wednesday, Mr Sarin sought to defuse tension with Essar. "It's Valentine's Day. I'm sending roses to them, I'm sending olive branches," he said. "Let me know if you have any ideas about how I can be nicer to them."
Vodafone drafted the plan with Bharti during bidding for Hutchison Essar without consulting Essar. "Everything happened in real time," Mr Sarin said. "During disengagement talks with Bharti, we talked about what we might do together."
Vodafone has a 10 per cent stake in Bharti Airtel, which must be reduced if the deal goes through. It has granted Bharti the option to buy 5.6 per cent for $1.6bn; Vodafone would retain 4.4 per cent indirect interest.
People familiar with the matter say Essar has threatened legal action to enforce a clause which, it claims, gives it the right of first refusal over Hutchison Whampoa's 67 per cent stake. Some say the threat is designed to extract a heftier offer from suitors.
"It is our view and our lawyers' view that Essar does not have right of first refusal vis-a-vis Vodafone. That is clear in our minds," Mr Sarin said.
Documents filed with Hong Kong regulators reveal that Vodafone reserves the right to walk away from its planned purchase if litigation seeking to thwart the deal is instigated.
Mr Sarin indicated that the time-out period to finalise the deal was about a year. Vodafone has offered to buy the remaining stake from Essar at the same price it offered Hutchison Whampoa and expects a response within several weeks.
If Essar sells, Vodafone will have to find an Indian partner to comply with limits on foreign direct investment in telecom operations.

Precocious puberty
Signs of this condition include things like premature breast development and onset menstruation in girls. Boys may see premature enlargement of the testicles or penis as well as early onset of pubic hair.
A pediatric endocrinologist is best suited to diagnose and recommend treatment for precocious puberty.
Medical treatmentIn the case that precocious puberty comes as a result of an underlying disease, like a tumor, your physician will treat that specific problem to halt the premature development.
Hormone therapyWhen the condition is not resulting from another health problem, hormonal treatment may be recommended. Synthetically produced drugs can often block production of the sex hormones that cause premature puberty and reverse its signs.
If this is a medical emergency, call 911.

Vanity is Overrated, Except When Talking About Your Hotel.
You're a great hotel, offering competitive prices, in a fantastic location. Incredible! Except, no one cares. Or at least, no one cares yet, because they don't know that they should care. They just don't know enough about your hotel, yet. Likely that's because your hotel is relying too heavily on OTA's, a ineffective website, or a non-mobile friendly platform.
Luckily, there's a simple solution for hotels – a vanity website. A little vanity never hurts, especially when it's required to draw attention to your hotel and what makes it great!
Sure, your hotel already has a website, in fact, it might have three. But the amount of websites your hotel has, doesn't correlate with how many bookings you receive, or how effective the websites are. Are you even able to update your hotel's website? How long would it take for you to either, let someone know what updates are needed, or track down the information on how to update the site yourself? Likely, the process of making changes or updates to your hotel's website leaves you banging your head against the wall. This is common, unfortunately, and it's absurd.
Thankfully, creating an awesome vanity site is easier than ever. Here's a quick breakdown of why you need a vanity website NOW.
Discover the Reality of Direct Bookings. Think, guest searches for a hotel, your vanity site pops up, they visit your site and find the information they're looking for quick and easy, and BAM, direct booking.
Up Your Adaptability Game. Smart phone, tablet, computer, doesn't matter, because your vanity site works on every single one. No more direct booking losses due to "technological difficulties." It's 2015, and your hotel is finally "with it."
Say Goodbye to Headaches. Seriously, making copy changes, adding updates, uploading pictures, etc. are all easily manageable tasks, which any team member can accomplish quickly and without stress.
Warning, Search Engines Will Find You. Is it vanity if you're really as amazing as you say you are? Search engines love vanity sites because the framework is easy to crawl and they love fresh and engaging content, so get ready to actually be found on Google.
When it's all said and done, though, this is yet another "thing" you have to "deal with," right? Not quite. Sure, the decision to develop a vanity website may not be overwhelming, but thanks to advancements in technology, has never been so obtainable or affordable. Best of all, it will not break the bank, but it will result in an increase in, well, everything. So all you'll need to prepare for is – more revenue.
Get ready to take your hotel's revenue potential to the next level. Don't waste anymore time, especially with summertime right around the corner! Your hotel can, and, will stand out among the masses with the aid of a vanity site. Check out one of our latest creations here.
That's Just Dandy, But Where Do I Go From Here?
Keeping up with the latest marketing trends and insights is overwhelming. We know. Let us navigate the waters for you, and help your hotel succeed even in the most challenging situations. If you're in need of solutions and answers, reach out… we'd love to lend a hand.
Don't be stingy, if you see something you like spread the love by sharing it with friends and colleagues. Thanks for taking the time to hear us out!
Be sure to subscribe below and learn more about how to transform your hotel's online presence into a direct booking and lead generating machine, with killer content that attracts and converts.

It was the Southville arts trail this weekend and once again, along with various artist friends and family members we exhibited our wares in the basement of my parents' home [which just happens to be my studio]
We probably had more than 500 people through the door over the weekend. I always enjoy the busy atmosphere of fun and creativity that the trail brings to the area.
However by the end of Sunday I am always entirely pooped! I just needed to take a day off yesterday to drink tea and catch up with myself.
Now I need to get busy making lots of new stock thanks to our lovely artist supporting community.

text: Throughout time Emeralds have fascinated ancient adventurers, treasure-hunters and today's sophisticated travelers alike because of their many shades of green, almost as many as one can find in tropical foliage. From the same family as the Aquamarine, the Emerald bears inclusions known as 'garden' which guarantee the gemstone's authenticity. It was a favorite of Cleopatra, who wore the stone as an ornament, amulet and antidote to amorous and political conquests.The emerald stands for courage and victory. To the spiritualists, it symbolizes faith and hope.

Policy Updates
USCIRF is proud to announce its new "Policy Update" series. This periodic publication will include information and analysis related to the status of religious freedom in the countries USCIRF monitors.
In North Korea, the regime's approach toward religion and belief is among the most repressive in the world. Put simply, freedom of religion or belief does not exist in North Korea. Although the North Korean constitution protects its people's freedom of religion in principle, in practice the regime exerts absolute influence over a handful of statecontrolled houses of worship permitted to exist. This creates a facade of religious life maintained chiefly for propaganda purposes.
A USCIRF delegation visited Khartoum and North Darfur states in May 2018 to learn about specific violations and barriers to religious freedom perpetrated both by state and non-state actors. The delegation met with a wide range of interlocutors, including Sudanese government officials, members of civil society, women's rights activists, human rights defenders, religious leaders, representatives of religious minority communities, and journalists, among others. This report highlights information provided to USCIRF in four areas, including the supremacy of the government's interpretation of Islam, state enforcement of this interpretation of Islam resulting in the violation of women's rights, and oppression of Christians and other minority groups.
In November 2017, USCIRF Commissioners and staff traveled to Burma (also known as Myanmar) to meet with government officials, civil society, and religious representatives in Rangoon, Mandalay, and Naypyidaw. In January 2018, USCIRF staff traveled to Dhaka and Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, to gather information on the situation of Rohingya Muslim refugees.
This document provides an overview of what USCIRF learned during these visits about the religious freedom challenges Burma faces and violations specific to Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine State.
The next year will be a pivotal one in Iraq. The U.S.-led fight against ISIS has yielded significant success. The military battle to defeat ISIS, a group which Secretary of State Rex Tillerson affirmed was "clearly responsible for genocide," has come to an end. In September 2017, the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) held its independence referendum, which passed with 92 percent voting in favor. The implications of the referendum for Iraq's religious minority communities, especially those living under KRG-controlled areas or in the Disputed Internal Boundaries, remain unclear.
Throughout 2017, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has promoted its 50th year of existence, marked on August 8. The regional bloc comprising 10 countries has grown and integrated in ways hardly dreamed of five decades ago. But to this day, ASEAN lacks cohesion on human rights issues and, in particular, has a flawed record protecting freedom of religion or belief, both as a collective regional bloc and as individual Member States. The good news is that ASEAN possesses both the raw materials and the incentive to turn its record around.
The Central African Republic has a long history of political strife, coups, severe human rights abuses, and underdevelopment. Despite this, sectarian violence and targeted killing based on religious identity are new to the majority-Christian country. The ongoing conflict started after the 2013 coup by a coalition of Muslim-majority militias and has resulted in thousands of people dead, 2.2 million in need of humanitarian assistance, more than 480,000 refugees, and more than 500,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs).

DATELINE: Case Closed?
Memorabilia Collector
In practice, Tom Brady's #12 jersey is always red. That means you can't tackle him, or hit him, or breathe on him if you have a cold.
The white game jersey he wore in the Super Bowl has been infamously reported as stolen. However, now, unconfirmed reports, aka fake news, are indicating the Texas Rangers have hit a great wall in their investigations.
No, not the Trump border wall: the evidence wall.
Cynics who decry the Patriots as cheaters have contended that a teammate of Tom took the jersey for his own aggrandizement. And, now, without an obvious lead, the story may die—unless a new theory proves accurate.
Tom ought to call Interpol about famous Patriot collector Putin.
Texas Ranger detectives claim now that the jersey was packed, quickly and unceremoniously by an unknown party, into an equipment truck that is not yet unloaded in Foxboro.
Can the Sherlockian case of the Missing Jersey already be solved? It would not be the first time a mysterious situation is being handled "in house" as they usually say.
If the truth is embarrassing and undercuts the legendary camaraderie of the team, you can bet your #12 Bobblehead that the culprit's mea culpa will never reach the media.
It seems a violation of the natural gas law to discover Tom's jersey disappeared into thin air.
When the story of a $500,000 sweat-equity jersey goes into lockdown, you know someone has buried the evidence. When the mealy-mouthed media grow silent, and the Texas Rangers bail out, you know this case is closed.

As all of us know, brand management is a concept that is very important in the retail industry. Brand management is how we get our name and product known to the public and to our consumers. Without proper brand management, we will be lost among the thousands of competitors. Staying ahead of the competition means including technology in your brand management. Going digital gives you extra leverage and more options to work with.
What is brand management?
Discovering your own unique brand is something that every retailer must do. You have to take the time to distinguish the key characteristics that make you appeal to customers. These are what you will be focusing on, and how customers will recognize you. As well, your brand is how others, (suppliers, employees and shareholders), will view your company. Figuring out how to show yourself in a certain light is how good brand management is achieved.
Why use technology in brand management?
People who work in marketing are always paying attention to the next greatest thing. They will be looking at what customers find exciting, and will be implementing that into their brand strategy. Typically, customers will find new technology to be exciting. Using technology to tell a story about the company is something different and unique. Customers like unique ideas, because they are getting bored with the old sales methods.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is another important aspect of a retailer's brand. When your website pops up on a Google search, your brand is gaining momentum. The more digital channels that you appear on will mean a greater opportunity for recognition. You can try exploring what other companies have incorporated in terms of social media. Then you can determine whether or not that method would work for your particular company. There are some products that would be better displayed using different digital methods, so take the time to find out what would work best.
Ease of Use
Tailor the complexity of the technology you use depending on who your target audience is. If your products are suited for older people, they may not be familiar with certain digital advertising. You should allocate more time to make your website or social media platform straight-forward and simple to use. This will result in your audience finding exactly what they want quickly and easily. If you're aiming your products at a more tech-savvy audience, you can spice up your advertising methods. Do not make it less easy to maneuver through your websites, but you can add extra features to increase the interest. For example, you could include the link to a video or a product review.
To conclude
We are living in a digital world, so do not be afraid to use that to your advantage! Spice up your brand management by incorporating various aspects of technology into your marketing platform. It will add interest and intrigue to your customers. They will be more excited by what you have to show them if you can present it in a modern way.

Collecting gemstones was a hobby of mine as a child, so when Geode Wedding Cakes came on the scene I just knew I had to design a styled shoot around geodes and gemstones. Loads of florals accented everything from the harvest table, to chairs, to candelabras and everything in between.
Our hidden gem of a venue! This little old church had been built as a movie set, but had become run-down and in need of a lot of love when Faith and her hubby purchased it. They put a lot of work into refinishing it, and adding extra windows to let in more sunlight. For the perfect finishing touch, a blinged out chandelier, and The Acreage Weddings church was finally ready for it's debut as a gorgeous, unique wedding venue.
The stationery suite was modeled after gem stones, featuring Agate slice place cards with hand lettered calligraphy.
Although the windy weather that day prevented us from using the majestic Rocky Mountains as backdrop, we had such a stunning venue to work with. Get a load of this…

The Great Wall of China
Various lists depicting the wonders of the world have been created throughout the ages, dating back from ancient times until today. The one thing they all have in common is that they list both natural and man-made wonders. I know that somewhere, on one of those lists, is the Great Wall of China.
The Great Wall is a man-made structure more than 5,000 miles long. There are six sections open and available for viewing and climbing. The Huangyaguan section of the Great Wall, located within a mountain ridge in an area of Tianjin City, is just east of Beijing and stretches for more than 25 miles. It was originally built during the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-557) and further reinforced during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
Not only does the Great Wall hold natural beauty. It is an unbelievable engineering marvel and has enormous cultural interest.
The defense system of the wall is still intact, with many watch towers and fortresses.
Annually, a group of international runners take on the challenge of running in the Great Wall Marathon. This year the iconic race was held on May 19.
The Huangyaguan Wall offers some amazing scenery. What a way to start my visit in Asia. Little did I know that this was just the beginning of an amazing trip!

2013, The Weinstein Company, 120 min, USA, Dir: James Gray
This Palme d'Or nominee from director James Gray was largely inspired by his grandparents' experiences coming to America in 1923. Marion Cotillard stars as Ewa, a Polish immigrant whose sister is quarantined when the two arrive at Ellis Island. Desperate to help her sister, Ewa soon is caught between small-time pimp Bruno (Joaquin Phoenix) and his cousin, Emil (Jeremy Renner). Outstanding performances and striking cinematography (by Darius Khondji) bring the period's gritty reality to life much better than any history book.

Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology launched in Saudi Arabia
An opening of the International Center for Combating Extremist Ideology named "Moderation" took place in Riyadh with participation of leaders of 55 Islamic countries and president of the USA following the Arab Islamic American Summit. At the opening ceremony, US President Donald Trump, King Salman of Saudi Arabia and President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt placed their hands on a tiny glowing globe. This reminded some mystic ritual from movies rather than an official event. According to Saudi mass media, this center outstands among other centers because it is the first organization that fights against sources of "radical thinking" and spread of extremist ideas, as well as studies dialectics that radicals widely use. It is expected that international experts will work at the Center.
The ideology that the USA and West fight against and name "extremist" is a call of Muslims to restore the Islamic life style on Earth. Lately, Muslims started open calling for restoration of the Khilafah and enforcement of the Sharia laws. The USA and Western countries are disturbed by it and started demanding from leaders of Islamic countries to launch decisive actions against all those individuals or parties that speak about enforcement of the Sharia laws and blame them of extremism. In their turn, leaders of Islamic countries declare that they are ready for immediate implementation of their lords' orders. We have a question here: What if our leaders suddenly defy orders of the USA against Islam? Can the USA launch a war against the Islamic world? No! Never! As the armed forces of only Turkey (or Pakistan) can defeat the USA, not to speak of armed forces of all Islamic countries altogether. Certainly, the USA surpasses Islamic countries in weaponry for several times. This can be seen even from budget allocation for Pentagon. However, the USA does not have those soldiers, real men who would use this modern weaponry. 905 thousand soldiers among 1.5 million US army have files in mental hospitals. For example, the USA could not defeat Taliban in 16 years of war in Afghanistan despite it had such modern weaponry. Whereupon Taliban is not even a country, it is just a regional organization. Another example: mujaheeds fighting in Syria are not the soldiers of any country's regular army. They are separate groups. They sometimes even fought against each other. However, even in this situation, the USA failed to defeat these groups in six years. Not only the US, but also Russia, Iran and all coalition countries cannot destroy them. Now, imagine what will happen if the army of Turkey or Pakistan raises, which are considered as one of the most powerful armies in the world? Therefore, we can say that today the Islamic Ummah needs a ruler with lion's heart, i.e. we need a Khalifa rather than modern weaponry. However, present rulers of Islamic countries cannot fight back the USA because these rulers came to the power and hold to it by virtue of the USA and Western countries. If these countries leave the Islamic countries, then our rulers will also go on the run because they inflicted so many sufferings to the Ummah using their power

This is a book I've been wanting to showcase for awhile, simply because of how goofy the premise and concept is.
It's about a trucker....with a hi-tech (by 1983 standards) 18 wheeler...with a CB radio implanted in his skull.
Yes....I actually bought this book as a kid (it lasted 12 issues, amazingly). Why? I was 9 years old, that's why. It was just another in a line of Marvel books where the publisher tried to cash in on a fad (this time around, the citizen's band radio craze), but someone forgot to tell Marvel that the fad was over about 3 years earlier...kinda like the Dazzler. The book was also a licensed toy tie-in...which about 50% of the time is usually a death knell for comic book to begin with...
Though I do remember towards the end of the run the reason I was buying the book was for the amazing painted covers by an early favorite artist of mine, Mike Golden....too bad he wasn't on the interior pencils.

Neptune opposite Mars
A commitment to honesty
Under this influence, honesty is hard to come by and communication gets very confusing and difficult. You, especially, have to try hard to stay away from telling your partner little white lies, because any level of dishonesty in this relationship takes on larger proportions and becomes a big deal. You could even become passive-aggressive with your partner, pretending things are fine when really they aren't fine at all, jabbing them with little hurtful comments that indicate things aren't well between you.
Don't misunderstand this tendency -- it's not that you're a bad or a mean person. It's just that something in your connection pushes you to behave in that way toward your lover. After all, they might not be perfectly honest with you, either; you might try to talk to them about your feelings or your problems, and they fake interest or concern because they really don't get what you're talking about or why you feel like you do. Even though they don't mean this in a bad way, it could be really hurtful to you to feel like they don't honestly care about you or your feelings. Try not to argue about it; a better way is to admit to each other that you really aren't operating from the same page, and see if you can't talk things out and bridge the gap between you.

Oarsome challenge: Could Steve Redgrave transform a group of young hoodies into a Henley rowing team?
He won Olympic gold five times, but could rower Steve Redgrave transform a group of young hoodies into an elite crew capable of racing at Henley - and turn their lives around in the process?
Rowing is a rarified world. One thinks of Oxford and Cambridge, of Henley-on-Thames; of straw boaters, striped blazers, Pimm's and champagne. One does not, typically, think of Liverpool. But, lined up on the banks of the Mersey two winters ago, stood 40 young Scousers in hoodies and gold necklaces.
They were being offered the chance to qualify for the Henley Royal Regatta - in just seven months' time. None of them had ever been in a boat before. Guiding this experiment - which was, to crank up the pressure even further, being filmed for a reality TV show - was Olympic rowing champion Sir Steven Redgrave.
Steve Redgrave, centre, with his final crew of rowers - selected from a group of young hoodies from Liverpool
'Believe me,' Redgrave told the lads, 'it's going to be hell.'
Privately, he had his doubts about whether they'd rise to the challenge. 'Seven months in our sport is not a lot of time. A beginner usually takes years to learn the art. How would they cope with the mental pressure and the fatigue?'
He really didn't know. But after 30 years of rowing himself, with five consecutive Olympic gold medals to his name, Redgrave wanted to give something back.
It might seem like just another reality TV stunt, but, refreshingly, this was not about pitting individuals against each other for audience entertainment. This was about creating a cast-iron, harmonious team - and about giving these boys a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shine. For them, getting to Henley would clearly represent more than just a boat race.
The ideal rower is a 6ft 4in-plus athlete who trains six days a week, eight hours a day. He is a poised, self-disciplined, formidable machine. These boys' lives were scratchy, uneven and fraught. Few had jobs; some had parents in prison; some had looming court cases.
'If you want to make it in this sport, you've got to cut down on the booze, on the late nights, on the drugs,' rowing coach Paul Turner told them at the start of training. 'Give up drugs?' snorted one. 'No way!'
And so the punishing regime began: stomach crunches, rowing machines, weight lifting, more stomach crunches. 'We hurt as much as anybody else!' Turner would shout, like an army bootcamp officer. 'But we're tougher!'
They began to get fitter, but they also learned things. 'Some of these lads think that "respect" is about wearing the right tracksuit, or looking cool,' said Redgrave. 'Respect in rowing is about commitment to what you're doing.'
By week two, the raw recruits were dropping like flies. 'Getting up too early was tiring me out,' said one, preferring to return to his listless life on the dole. Nineteen-year-old Abraham Altairy, from Toxteth, recognised the chance he was being given and, like a drowning man thrown a lifebelt, clung on for dear life. 'There are no opportunities in our area,' he said. 'If I wasn't doing this, then I'd be walking the streets, up to no good.'
Five weeks in, 22 out of 40 young men remained. They already looked different: their faces glowed with health, their shoulders had broadened and their biceps were beginning to bulge through T-shirts and tracksuits. In the changing room, Coke and bags of crisps had been swapped for apples and mineral water.
They first got into their boats one cold winter morning on the choppy Mersey. Snow lined the banks. The Scallies wore a ramshackle collection of hats to keep warm; their breath puffed white in the freezing air as they learned how to sit in a rocking boat and handle an oar.
Rowing looks so easy when you see it done well: the crew moving in perfect synchronicity, the eight oars dipping as one into the water, the boat skimming the surface at speed.
Redgrave's crews were soon swearing at each other for rocking the boat, unable to find a rhythm and pull together. One boat capsized into freezing water, leaving Ryan Vaughan upside down and terrified, trapped by the Velcro foot straps he'd been too panicked to undo. Quickly, team mate Micky Hornby swam under the boat and managed to undo the straps. Ryan emerged, his back lacerated by the metal oar supports, deeply shaken but breathing.
The accident knocked their confidence but it also brought them closer - and Micky, who had lost his mother at the age of nine, and, halfway through the project, was sent to prison for assault, was given a huge boost by being hailed as the hero of the hour.
Redgrave's boys hard at it in training for the race
All the time, the boys were under close observation by Redgrave and the coaches. There was room for just eight in a boat - who would make it to the end? Every time there was a cull, tears were shed by these hard-as-nails young men. Robbed of their sense of purpose, what did they have to go back to?
Khalid Morny, 18 at the time, was a borderline case. His attendance was erratic and his temper kept flaring. But when he realised he was in with a chance, he became, according to Redgrave, 'a changed person'. With his father in jail and his mother a heroin addict, Khalid had his own court case looming, for violent disorder. If he was sent to prison, his new start would be extinguished.
'The rowing's been a godsend,' he said. 'I never used to do nothing. I'd see a police car and start running for no reason, just to get a chase. I look back now and think, "What was the point of that?" How stupid! This has shown me that if you work hard, you get good things.'
By the time of the first long-distance race in Chester, the team had been pared down further. 'In any other circumstances we wouldn't have got on,' said one crew member, but now they were tightly bonded and, perhaps just a little cocky about their chances of winning, high on the adrenaline of the past few months.
They were pipped at the finish by Newcastle University, which was, according to Redgrave, 'the best result for the boys. It'll make them hungrier.' A trip to Henley-on-Thames took the lads into another world. Over a champagne lunch they met luminaries such as rowing
champion James Cracknell, who thought they were in with a chance, adding, 'But I'm not sure what the posh totty will make of you lot!'
Rowing crews try year after year to get through the Henley Qualifier to row in the Regatta. Most fail. The June day dawned promisingly blue, and the Liverpool crew were sick with nerves. This was it: the goal of seven, highly focused months. They were up against the country's elite, both in terms of fitness and privilege: crews from Oxford, Cambridge, London and Bristol, among many others.
'Your legs are going to be screaming; you'll be thinking, "I can't row another stroke,"' Redgrave told them, minutes before they took to the water. 'I can assure you, you can.'
Did they get through? It is perhaps more interesting to ask, two summers later, what happened to those young men who defied all expectations - not least their own. Are they still rowing? Have their lives turned around?
The captain, Luke McMurray, 26, has gone back to his old job working as a joiner for his father, but he has also enrolled at university in Liverpool to study building and surveying.
'I got the impression it was going to change my life and open doors,' he told me. 'But here I am, doing what I was doing before.' It proved impossible to balance rowing with the need to earn a living. 'I still think it's a rich man's sport,' he says. 'You need backing to do eight hours' training a day. You can't work and row really well.'
It would be easy to feel some bitterness in the aftermath of the experiment. Like Professor Higgins with Eliza Doolittle, Redgrave plucked these lads out of obscurity, showed them the thrills and the spoils, then dropped them back where they came from.
'It was like someone in your family had died when it was all over,' says Luke. Yet he insists he feels no resentment.
'It gave me the best experience of my life. I grew up a lot over the time it was filmed. I was up to no good before then, but when I started the rowing, the younger lads looked up to me.'
Steven Callaghan, 21, and Luke Pendlebury, 25, completed their A-levels and now row in the First Eight for Oxford Brookes University and Homerton College, Cambridge respectively, and the old crew travel to regattas to cheers them on. Redgrave believes the project: 'changed their outlook on life. Four are at university, two have found work. By the end of the programme it wasn't about what society owed them, it was about what they could give back.'
