text: I installed Windows 7 and it was working fine. However, a few days ago two things happened: 1) Windows installed an update, and the icons at the bottom of the screen began to bring up small windows showing the folder/program, instead of simply just listing their names vertically, and 2) Windows will suddenly flicker at seemingly random intervals. It's as if all windows are being minimized simultaneously so I can see the desktop background poking through for just the slightest fraction of a second. This happens even when I'm at the Windows 7 log in page. It's hard to say what causes the flickering. I've noticed that if I keep one window or application open long enough, the flickering stops, but when I tend to move between windows the flickering resumes. It's like Windows is trying to refresh too frequently. The problem is also particularly bad when I'm scrolling down through a long web page on Firefox. My malware scanners (McAffee, Spyware Doctor) come up clean. My graphics driver is the most recent build available. Does this problem sound familiar to anyone? I don't think this is a hardware problem; moving my screen around doesn't trigger it at all, and the fact it began after one particular update makes it seem like a software problem. Thank you very much!

Three servicemen were killed when their patrol vehicle came under attack from insurgents in the Helmand province in southern Afghanistan. In Iraq, a soldier serving with the 1st Battalion Light Infantry became the first to die in an attack on a UK military base.
The fatalities pushed the number of British service personnel who have died in Iraq since the start of hostilities in 2003 to 115 and saw the number of soldiers killed in Afghanistan in the past two months climb to nine.
Politicians responded by calling on the Government to clarify its military strategy.
Labour MP Alan Simpson (Nottingham South), a long-term critic of the military campaigns, said the deaths were further evidence that Afghanistan had become "mission impossible", while Iraq was "mission irretrievable".
He said: "The money the US threw at the warlords when they went in pursuit of Osama bin Laden now leaves the British troops trying to deal with an enemy that is just as independent but much better armed than they have been before."
He said he believed troops would have to be pulled out of both countries "soon" because there was "no longer a plan" to work to.
Liberal Democrat shadow defence secretary Nick Harvey said the deaths in Afghanistan underlined the need for a clear military strategy, with achievable objectives, adding: "We must also ensure that British troops have all the equipment and weaponry they require."
In one of the deadliest strikes against British troops stationed in Afghanistan in recent months, Taliban militants armed with rocket-propelled grenades and heavy machine guns ambushed the soldiers while on patrol. They were part of the Nato-led international security assistance force carrying out duties in the north of the volatile province.
In Iraq, the soldier died after a multinational force base in Basra city came under mortar fire at 3am local time (midnight BST). He was taken to hospital by helicopter but died from his injuries. It is the first time a British soldier has been killed inside a military base in Iraq by enemy action.

The Seasonal Listings begin with operas that are being performed in the 2016-2017 season, and an impressive list it is; previous seasons follow. There are grand traditional operas and exciting new operas. I will add additional listings as I discover more companies and offerings; reader contributions always welcomed. While the opera season for the large companies runs from September until May, others have performances in the summer and some only in the summer, especially festivals. Major venues are exciting because they are more likely to have major opera stars, fuller orchestras, and more lavish staging. Smaller venues are exciting because they are more likely to use younger, upcoming talent, be more adventurous in opera selections and staging, and put you in seats closer to the action, while being less expensive.
There is opera happening somewhere not too far from you. And many others close enough for an opera mini-vacation to interesting cities in the mid-Atlantic region. Opera live is not the only way, but it is the best way to experience opera.

1. Technical Field
The invention relates generally to computing systems, and more particularly to a system and method for detecting memory leaks in applications running on monitored computer systems.
2. Description of the Related Art
A memory "leak" occurs when an application allocates a block of memory (either directly or indirectly through the use of various programming interfaces), and then fails to deallocate the memory when it is no longer required. Memory leaks consume system resources that could otherwise be available to the operating system and other applications.
Failure to release allocated memory is a very common programming error. Due to the complexity of software applications and their memory management, such memory leaks frequently exist in software delivered to end users. Because the memory requirements of applications change dynamically over time, it can be very difficult for an end-user to detect memory leaks in software that they are using.
When memory leaks go undetected, system resources that they consume become unavailable to the operating system and other applications. This has the effect of reducing performance, and in some cases, causing unscheduled downtime for applications and the operating system.
There are many memory leak detection solutions available to application developers. Such conventional solutions, however, require that the application be instrumented for memory leak detection through source code modifications, the use of an application debugger, or through libraries linked to applications. While these known solutions can be fairly precise in identifying memory leaks and can often pinpoint the source code where the leaked memory was allocated, they have the shortcoming that they require access to or modifications of the application in order to perform the memory leak detection. Such known solutions therefore do not solve the problem faced by typical end users that do not have access to the application source code. Additionally, end users wish to monitor applications in their normal mode of operation not in a special "debug" mode.
There are also known solutions available that can report when a system's resources have been consumed to the point that performance is suffering. These known solutions, however, are unable to determine which application is leaking. Additionally, they often report the problem when it has reached a crisis level. Finally, they may be unable to detect small memory leaks at all.
There is therefore a need for a method and system for detecting memory leaks that minimizes and/or eliminates one or more of the shortcomings set forth above.
One object of the invention is to provide a solution to one or more of the shortcomings set forth in the Background. The present invention has several advantages. One advantage of the present invention is that it does not require access to and modification of the source code of the monitored application. Another advantage is that it does not have to be instrumented, does not require an application debugger nor does it require linkage to a special set of library routines. Another advantage is that it is operative to detect memory leaks while the monitored application runs in a normal mode, not a special debug mode. Finally, the present invention provides detection of memory leaks long before a crisis level of resource depletion has occurred.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention may be achieved through a method and apparatus for detecting memory leaks for an application program executing on a computer. The method, in one embodiment, includes the step of determining when a peak allocated memory level has increased a determined number of times during a determined time interval. In a preferred embodiment, the method includes the further step of filtering out increases in peak allocated memory levels that are not indicative of a memory leak associated with the application program. The filtering step may include the substep of ignoring increases in peak allocated memory levels during a startup time interval immediately after the monitored application program begins to execute. The filtering step may further include the substep of ignoring increases in peak allocated memory levels that occur after the startup time interval but that occur less than a preselected time apart, which are not necessarily indicative of a memory leak and may be indicative of normal memory allocation activity.
An apparatus for detecting memory leaks is also presented.
Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference numerals are used to identify identical components in the various views,
In addition, computer 10 may comprise any conventional computing apparatus, and, in one embodiment, may comprise a Windows-based computer. It should be understood, however, that the present invention is not so limited. Computer 10 may be based on other widely available operating systems 24, such as, but not limited to, Unix-based systems, Linux-based systems, and Apple Macintosh-based systems.
Before proceeding to a detailed description of the system and method of the present invention, an brief description will be set forth of several characteristics of memory allocation generally, and the memory leak mechanism specifically, that Applicant has discovered. The purpose of this section will become apparent as this detailed description proceeds.
In general, the present invention monitors the allocated memory levels at a predetermined frequency, and determines peak allocated memory levels. The invention is further configured to determine increases in the peak allocated memory levels. The present invention determines that a memory leak exists when it has counted a predetermined number of increases in the peak allocated memory level. The predetermined number of times is herein sometimes referred to as an Alarm Limit. The predetermined number of times may, in one embodiment, comprise a determined number of times, being either (1) fixed in advance of the operation of the inventive program (e.g., user selected), or (2) dynamically set by the system during operation based on criteria. Exemplary peaks that represent an increase over the prior "peak" level indicative of memory leaks are designated P1, P2, P3, and P4 in
First, there is the startup period. The time interval from time zero to the time designated t1 is herein referred to as a startup time interval 28. This is shown in
Second, there are normal "burst" increases in allocated memory. The present invention uses a time delay between successive "peaks" to filter out (ignore) certain increases in the peak allocated memory level. When two increases occur too close together the latter increase is ignored and is not counted toward the Alarm Limit. The time delay is used to avoid bursts of memory allocation activity that may occur in normal processing from rapidly counting toward the Alarm Limit, thereby triggering, perhaps falsely, the presence of a memory leak. While such rapid increases may be ambiguous as to whether there is in actuality a memory leak or not, real memory leaks that are significant tend to occur many times over a long period of time. Thus, ignoring closely spaced increases removes the ambiguity and improves the reliability of the detection. Filtering out increases in peak allocated memory of this type help minimize or eliminate false alarms. For example, the successive increase in peak allocated memory occurring at time point t4 is not necessarily indicative of a memory leak and may simply reflect normal processing (i.e., it occurs too closely in time to the prior peak at time t3). This increase in peak allocated memory is therefore filtered out (ignored) in counting towards the Alarm Limit. This peak at t4, along with the peak at t3, are enclosed in dashed-line box designated 30.
In one embodiment, the operating parameters include:
In one embodiment, default values may be as follows: Sampling Rate (5 seconds); Startup Period (180 seconds); Alarm Limit (45 times); Time Delay (75 seconds); and the Minimum Rate For Alarm (200 bytes/minute). Of course, as indicated, these default values may be changed by a user by way of the interface 16.
The reporting mechanism 18 is also configured to allow the user to select an action (to be performed when a memory leak exceeds the minimum rate for alarm) from the group comprising no action, running a program or script, killing the program, rebooting the computer on which the program is executing and a combination of any of the foregoing actions. Of course, other responses, either in the nature of a notification or an action, may be included and remain within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
In step 34, the execution of the present invention begins. In one embodiment, a mechanism is provided that detects the start of new applications. Such mechanisms are known for performing this function. The remainder of the description is performed independently on each application that is monitored for memory leaks by system 12. When a new application is started, it is added to a list (not illustrated) of tracked applications. Tracked applications are removed from this list upon termination.
In step 34, generally, agent 14 monitors a tracked or monitored application to determine allocated memory usage. Step 34 may include the substeps of sampling the memory level at the frequency determined by SAMPLING_RATE operating parameter 32 2 for each monitored application for which a memory leak has not already been detected. This step may involve use of programming interfaces to determine the current total allocated memory for the monitored application. The determined memory level is recorded (unless it occurs during the startup period, which is explained in greater detail below in connection with the filtering step 36). To the extent that a new "peak" has not been reached, the method may, in an alternate embodiment, proceed to the next monitored application on the list. However, if a new "peak" is determined to have been achieved, then the time of the new peak allocated memory is also recorded for later use. It should be understood that other embodiments could use other mechanisms to determine if an application should or should not be monitored for memory leaks. In addition, it should be further understood that other mechanisms could be used to determine the sampling times, including event-based mechanisms triggered by application memory allocation requests. The method proceeds to step 36.
In step 36, the method is configured for filtering out increases in peak allocated memory levels that are not necessarily indicative of a memory leak. This step may be performed by one or more substeps. For example, step 36 may involve the substep of ignoring increases in peak allocated memory levels during a startup time interval immediately after the monitored program begins to execute. Step 36 may also involve the substep of ignoring increases in peak allocated memory levels that occur after the startup time interval but that occur less than a preselected time apart which are not necessarily indicative of a memory leak and may simply be indicative of a normal burst of memory allocation activities. As to the step of ignoring startup activity, this may be implemented by determining how long the application has been running, and if it is still in startup as defined by the STARTUP_PERIOD operating parameter 32 3, ignore sampled memory levels and move on to the next monitored application in the list. As to the step of ignoring "burst activity", this step may be implemented by determining how long it has been since a peak memory increase has been counted toward the ALARM_LIMIT operating parameter 32 4, and, if it has been less than the TIME_DELAY operating parameter 32 5, then ignore the sampled memory levels and move on to the next monitored application. The method then proceeds to step 38.
In step 38, the method determines whether the number of increases in the peak allocated memory has reached a predetermined number of times (i.e., the Alarm Limit). If the answer is NO, then the method branches to the next monitored application on the list, or, in the case of the monitored application the subject of the flow chart in
In step 40, the method calculates an estimated memory leakage rate. The method may perform this step by determining the difference (e.g., in kilobytes) between the current peak memory level and the initial peak memory level increase after the startup period or the second increase since time zero. Note, the first sampled memory level after the startup period will indicate an "increase" over the initial allocated memory when the program began (which would be zero). This may be considered the first peak increase. What is being referred to here as the initial increase after startup is the next increase in the peak level or the second increase in the peak level. In any event, the difference (e.g., in minutes) is also determined between the current peak memory level and the second peak memory level (as defined above). Dividing the difference in the memory level by the difference in time will yield a memory leakage rate. Of course, alternative mathematical approaches for calculating a memory leakage rate may be used and remain within the spirit and scope of the present invention. The method proceeds to step 42.
In step 42, the method compares and determines whether the calculated memory leakage rate exceeds the minimum rate for alarm operating parameter 32 8. If the answer is NO, then the method branches to the next monitored application on the list, or, in the case of the monitored application at hand, back up to step 34. If the answer is YES, and, optionally, the monitored application is not in the IGNORED_APPLICATIONS list (operating parameter 32 9 set forth above) then the method branches to step 44.
In step 44, the method produces a response in the form of either a notification or an action, as described in detail above with respect to reporting mechanism 18. The method proceeds to step 46.
In step 46, the method records the response (notification, action or both) for later review.
In step 48, the method determines whether the specified response(s) is an action. If the answer to decision block 48 is YES, then the method branches to step 52. In step 52, the method selects one or more of the specified actions and executes them. These actions may include "no action", running a program or script for performing additional functions, killing (terminating) the application program with the memory leak, rebooting the computer (e.g., rebooting a server if the computer 10 is a configured as a server), or any combination of the above. The method then proceeds to step 49.
Step 49 also accepts the flow of control when the answer in the decision block 48 is "NO." In step 49, the method determines whether the specified response(s) include a notification. If "YES," then the method branches to step 50.
In step 50, the method selects one or more of the specified notifications and executes them. These may include sending a notification as to the alarm in the form of an e-message to one or more e-mail addresses specified in a list, an SNMP message, a telecommunications page, a visual or audio message, or any combination of the above.
Upon completion of step 50, the method branches to step 46, described above.
If the answer to decision block 49 is "NO," then the method branches to an "end" block of this subpart of the method shown in
It should be understood that the functions and methodologies may be performed through appropriate programming of computer 10 using conventional programming tools known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Accordingly, the computer 10 configured by way of programming constitute the structure corresponding to the recited functions in the apparatus claims. Other structures, however, are contemplated including without limitation electronic hardware, including computer hardware suitably configured to perform the functions recited in the claims.
In support thereof of the foregoing, pseudocode for implementing an exemplary embodiment is hereby reproduced below.
at SAMPLING_RATE frequency:
// Ignore the process if we have an active memory leak alarm or if
// process is still in its startup period
if ( (DETECTION_ENABLED)
&& (!MemLeakAlarmIsActive)
&& (TimeLoaded(app) > STARTUP_PERIOD))
// Has the VM size increased?
if (CurrentPeakMemoryUsage > RecordedPeakMemoryUsage)
RecordedPeakMemoryUsage = CurrentPeakMemoryUsage;
// Has the inter-increase delay period expired since the last
// peak VM increase that we measured?
if ((GetCurrentTime( ) − LastIncTime) > TIME_DELAY)
// Count this peak VM size increase
LastIncTime = GetCurrentTime( );
// Record usage a second increment so that we can later
// estimate a rate
if (NumVmIncreases == 2)
UsageAtSecondIncTime = CurrentPeakMemoryUsage;
SecondIncTime = LastIncTime;
// If we have reached the configured limit, signal an
if (NumVmIncreases >= ALARM_LIMIT)
// Estimate the leakage rate in kilobytes per minute
double leakageRate = ((CurrentPeakMemoryUsage −
/ 1000.0)
/ ((LastIncTime − SecondIncTime)
/ 60.0);
// Ignore leaks that are smaller than the configured
// alarming threshold
if (leakageRate > MINIMUM_RATE_FOR_ALARM)
// Make sure that this app is not in the "ignore"
// list for memory leaks
if (!AppIsIgnored (app))
// call the alarm class to start a new alarm,
// record it in the database, take actions and
// perform notifications
StartAlarm ( )
MemLeakAlarmIsActive = true
It is to be understood that the above description is merely exemplary rather than limiting in nature, the invention being limited only by the appended claims. Various modifications and changes may be made thereto by one of ordinary skill in the art which embody the principles of the invention and fall within the spirit and scope thereof.

« Barclays Bank Gets Naming Rights to New Jersey Nets' Brooklyn Arena | Main | Ten Worst Software Product Names »
January 20, 2007
Are Sports Naming Rights Getting Too Costly?
A recent post on Population Statistic notes that the recent $300+ mil Barclays Center naming agreement — which I wrote about yesterday — is part and parcel of a surge in pricey naming rights deals that have included Citi Field (MLB Mets/$20mil per year) and the Prudential Center (NHL Devils/$105 mil).
I've written about stadium naming before, but these numbers bear a second look.
Fans may breathe a sigh of relief when they learn that, for instance, Yankee Stadium will not get a corporate name, but far more fans are holding their breath hoping for a corporate blessing so their teams can survive another year.
It's easy to joke about the proliferation of corporate stadium names out there but the fact is, companies seek out these naming deals because they are great ways to get a brand name in front of a captive, excited audience.
As the writer on Population Statistic points out, naming a new stadium after your company is worth the extra expense because it's virgin territory — there is no chance your brand name will face dilution with the former one. This gives your brand pure DNA and a close association with a beloved team and its victories.
My predication is that we can look for more high profile deals of this nature because it's hard to think of another way to get 40-80,000 potential customers in a targeted area looking at your company name for two to three hours at a time week after week, not to mention the exposure on TV.

Studio Apartment in Los Cristianos, Tenerife - Convenient for restaurants, shops with on site supermarket & bar/food. Only 150 metres walk to Beach
Torres del Sol is one of the older complexes and as such has the advantage of having probably the best location in Los Cristianos. The studio has been updated and is in good order with all the utilities that you will need for a comfortable stay. The 2 on site swimming pools each have separate areas for children. There is a restaurant/bar which is open early until late with entertainment most nights and a patio from which the family pool can be viewed. The on site supermarket is a convenience store with most necessities and quite a few luxury items on sale. There is a local Mercadona and a hardware supermarket only a short distance away as are the local shops, bars and restaurants, so there is plenty of choice and everything you could possibly need close by. The apartment has a balcony from which you can see across Los Cristianos, the beach and the sea to the harbour. There is a table and chairs for four and a sun blind if the morning sun is too strong for you.

About the Owner
Guestbook comments from the owner
Tricia sent this comment :- " Many thanks for the use of your studio which we found to be in a perfect location around three minutes from the Promenade, restaurants and shops. We stayed the last week in February and had sun all morning till around 1.30pm, but we found that later on in the day by moving patio chairs to the rear walkway we could have more sun!
The view from the balcony was very good. The studio is very comfortable and light as it has white tiled floors & white units. We find Mercadona takes around five minutes walk up the hill and is the best supermarket around with very good choice and prices".

Amazing apartment in a great location
Lovely well equipped apartment in a great location close to the beach and restaurants. On arrival the apartment was spotless and the welcome pack (water, milk, tea and coffee) was appreciated. The complex was lovely with two great swimming pools. The apartment is in a great location with the beach on the doorstep and a short walk to shops and restaurants. I will certainly be looking to book this apartment again.
Very well equipped with everything yo need
Great location , near to beach , shops and restaurants . Will dedicatedly be returning.
Very good accommodation in a great location.
This is a very well equipped apartment situated in an ideal location close to the beach and restaurants. It was clean and tidy and the welcome pack(water/tea/coffee) was much appreciated. There is also a small supply of condiments/rice/shower gel etc - things you end up buying but only use a little bit! Parking in the area can be a problem but we always found a spot even during Easter weekend (there is a very good bus service so a car is not a necessity). I would highly recommend this apartment for anyone wanting the beach on their doorstep and a 5-10 minute walk at night to all the shops, restaurants and bars of Las Americas.
Home from home
Just had a superb little break apartment super fantastic location spotlessly clean very welcoming have decided to cancel our next holiday in Crete and already booked to come back to this apartment everything you need within the apartment we would highly recommend the apartment which is ideally located for beach supermarket and fantastic restaurants we highly recommend the players lounge restaurant superb food great staff we can't wait to go back in September thank you Geoff and carol for allowing us to take up residence for a few days in you lovely apartment Ron and eve
The property was exactly as described in the Owners Direct listing
Everything regarding obtaining the keys and access to the apartment went well. The apartment itself was great it had everything I could possibly need for a week or two's holiday. On arrival the apartment was clean and tidy and had tea, coffee, and milk available. All facilities in the apartment worked well and were well maintained including hot water for washing and showering. The pool area was well maintained and never really busy. The apartment is located 2 minutes from the main promenade, beach, local restaurants and shopping centre. Overall I would recommend the apartment for a great holiday in Tenerife.
This apartment is not only in a great location it is very well equipped. Offering everthing you need for a very comfortable holiday. Even milk in the fridge tea coffee washing up liquid you name it .it was there would defenatly stay there again 😀
Activity and Interests
Special interest holidays:
The local beach is very close and has it's own live webcam (Google Las Vistas Beach webcam) so you can see exactly what the weather and sea conditions are at any time, from home or before you travel. You will see that there are a range of water activities suitable for children and adults from floating castles and high speed jet skis to dolphin viewing boats with glass bottoms and parascending boats for the braver guests.
The beach which is less than 5 minutes walk from the apartment has lifeguards and is cleaned every morning.
Torres del Sol is only 15 minutes taxi drive from the airport costing about 20 euros. Car rental is not necessary but is available locally at 40 euros for three days and although there are many coach tours readily available, a drive to Mount Teide will be well worthwhile. If there is cloud at the beach you can often drive up to the forest and picnic in bright sunshine above the clouds. The north of the island is close enough for a day visit and the harbour provides trips to Gomaro etc.
Further Details:
What we found especially useful about the location of our apartment is that it is close to everything that you could wish for and we had no difficulty with communicating in English wherever we went. For those who like the night life and high class shops, perfumeries and restaurants, Las Americas is just a short stroll to the west but for those who like a quieter holiday, the harbour and old town of Los Cristianos is a similar distance to the east, just along the promenade. There is a Mercadona Supermarket a short walk up from Torres del Sol and a smaller local super market within the complex. Banks and general shopping are only about a kilometre away. There is a friendly bar on site that is run by a UK businessman so English is the preferred language there. The bar has good food, cheap drinks and lots of local entertainment and has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

Thanks to everyone who came to the humor session on Sunday night- it was a blast, and I hope to have video up soon to commemorate the event. Additional thanks to everyone who stopped by my exhibit booth to say hi- I particularly liked our discussions on how to be innovative (read, fun) in the world of online content.
Now, for some more FAQs:
Q: What was in the whiskey bottle?
A: A combination of whiskey and iced tea, the composition of which varied over the course of the evening.
Q: I saw a camera- will there be video of said event?
A: Yup, I will post it here once I'm done editing out awkward A/V moments.
Q: I tried to come say by at your booth Monday morning, but you weren't there. What gives?
A: I think economists need to develop a theory of rational hangovers. (Or, in video form, here.) I would also like to give a particular thank you to Peter Griffin (awesome name) for leaving goldfish crackers and a nice note.
Q: Where can I find the lemonade video that you showed?
A: You can find that one and 19 or so more here or on Amazon Instant video, Netflix, YouTube, Vimeo, etc.
In related news, I came upon this when confirming that the series was in fact available on Netflix:
I guess when the Netflix recommendation engine fails, it fails big.

I removed the hotlink once and replaced the image with an attachment in the data base, but today it seems to have reappeared. I deleted the image completely now but the report still contains the link. and is causing my moderator to be blocked from the report by her ISP. How can I Edit or delete a report, I know this image is not malware but it has got my site flagged and I need to do something about it. including removing the link from the report.

|Re: Next Generation Persistence
|Wed, 11 Apr 2007 10:52:42 GMT
Hi, Thanks for comments and pointers to further information. I think using a Subversion-like structure might make sense, though a call like getNodeByUUID(...).getPath() could become quite expensive. We probably should prioritize the performance requirements of different operations to help guide the design. Another issue that came up is whether and how such a persistence model would work with the SPI. I had considered the SPI as the primary interface to use when prototyping/implementing this persistence proposal, but it seems that the handling of the transient space as a "draft revision" doesn't resonate well with the SPI model of keeping the transient space on the client side. Any ideas on how to best resolve this? BR, Jukka Zitting

Dave: The Professor and the Madman - both tell the story of a forgotten scholar. But in terms of how you approached this book, I'd imagine that trying to captivate a reader would present a greater challenge because you're not talking about words, which seems like a likely topic of interest among readers; instead, the subject is geology.
Simon Winchester: I couldn't agree with you more. In fact, in England the subtitle of the book is "The Tale of William Smith and the Birth of a Science" because they were worried that the word geology would comprehensively turn readers off.

When The Training Room launched a competition to win a Personal Training course the response we received was incredible. We asked our loyal Facebook followers to either nominate yourself or a friend and boy did you!
The lucky winner, with 721 votes, was Rosie Wands. We caught up with Rosie post competition to find out a bit more about her and what she is going to do once she has gained the qualification
"I am currently studying for a degree in Sports Therapy. I had the option to do the fast track, part-time or e-learning course option. As I am already busy, I have gone with the e-learning course so I can carry on my studies and do this as well, I can't believe how flexible it all is!!
I love working out and have already lost a stone since November. I have suffered from anxiety and so I train as it gives me something positive to focus on and it's something I thoroughly enjoy. It definitely takes my mind off things!"
Vicki was her friend who nominated Rosie to win the course. We asked how this all came about…
"I couldn't believe Vicki nominated me! Vicki is one of my training buddies who I met through my degree. She is awesome and nominated me out of the blue! She has boosted me a lot recently as I lost a very close friend, and even though she's been poorly, she's still checking up on me!'.
We asked Rosie what her plans are when she has passed her Personal Training e-learning course
"After the course, I am going to work at PureGym in York. I plan to hopefully build up a lot PT clients, as I already spend 5 days a week there! It's almost a home from home for me and everyone is lovely! I can't wait to make the 721 people who voted for me proud".
The Training Room wish Rosie all the very best with her Personal Training course and we look forward to hearing about her progress! If you would like to follow in Rosie's footsteps, maybe a career in Personal Training is for you! Visit us here at TTR today for more information!

Director Edgar Wright once said that he structured Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World like a musical, only the characters broke out into fights instead of songs.

RPT-COLUMN-Worst may be over for iron ore, coal, but supply is key: Russell
(Repeats item issued earlier with no change to text)
--Clyde Russell is a Reuters columnist. The views expressed are his own.--
By Clyde Russell
LAUNCESTON, Australia, Dec 9 (Reuters) - It's an observable fact that steep falls in commodity prices are often a precursor to a rally, and recently some industry executives have said this is likely next year for iron ore and coal.
Notwithstanding the obvious caveat of beware miners talking up prices of commodities they produce, there is some cause for optimism that the worst is over for two of the weakest performers so far this year.
Asian spot iron ore .IO62-CNI=SI is down 48 percent from the start of the year to Monday's close of $69.70 a tonne, while spot thermal coal at Australia's Newcastle Port, an Asian benchmark, has slumped 28 percent to $62.25 a tonne in the week ending Dec. 5.
The case for a stabilisation in prices followed by a modest rally next year is largely built on the view of more high-cost supply leaving the market, coupled with steady demand growth from top importer China.
Peter Poppinga, head of ferrous metals at Brazil's Vale , told an investor briefing in London last week that the iron ore price had overshot to the downside and it will "bounce back in the very near future." Continuación...

Know yourself:
Financial Goal
You're more likely to achieve a goal if you define it. Having a goal focuses your choices and decision-making.
Time Horizon
Knowing your "investment time horizon," or when you need to start withdrawing a certain amount is key to determining which type of investments are the best match for your financial goals. Some investments may be too volatile for short periods; other types may not offer adequate long-term growth.
Risk Tolerance
Sensitivity to risk differs from one to another: some fear losses; others fear missing the maximum return. However you react to the risk, you should be aware of your tolerance to it as it greatly influences what investments you choose.
Managing risk means more than just avoiding an investment loss. It also means outpacing inflation and being able to make gains. Risk arises from different factors – some controllable, some not – but risk can be managed. A well-constructed investment strategy can improve your ability to keep risk in check.
Investment Knowledge
Your knowledge about investing may be limited or quite sophisticated. Towards defining your strategy, ask if you really understand what you're investing in, or if you have the knowledge update that would benefit from an Investment Advisor.
Financial Situation
Your personal finances may be robust or average. You may owe money or be owed money, receiving a regular income or just faced with special expenses. Your personal financial cycle is critical to forming an effective investment strategy.
Other Considerations
Some people hold deep values important before investing. Whether you invest primarily for the returns you're seeking or according to explicitly defined principles (religion; environment protection, etc.), it will affect where you invest.
Portfolio Management
When you invest you acquire a vehicle that necessarily changes in value over time. However, there are ways to influence, and control your investments performance through various portfolio management techniques. Here are some core concepts related to portfolio management that underline an effective investment strategy, regardless of your personal circumstances. Speak to National Bonds on how these and others apply to you and how you can make the most of them.
Asset Allocation:
Asset allocation – how your investment portfolio is structured by investment type, duration, amount, etc. – is, as an authoritative investment industry source put it: "the primary determinant of returns." Selecting the right allocation of assets and adjusting them to changing conditions can put you on the right path to meeting your financial goals. It's also an important strategy for reducing risk.
Which Factor Most Influences Your Return?
Choosing a variety of investment vehicles with different performance characteristics to achieve a better overall return – is the essence of asset allocation. Diversification reduces fluctuations' impact in the value of investments.
"Don't put all of your eggs in one basket". This shows guidance on the practical implications of the role diversification plays in an investor's portfolio and offers no insight into how a diversified portfolio is actually created.
Whether the market is bullish or bearish, maintaining a diversified portfolio is essential to any long-term investment strategy. A diversification strategy can help you achieve more consistent returns over time and reduce your overall investment risk.

The inscription on the label attached to the backboard (which incorrectly reads Worcester rather that Gloucester), indicates that this and the next lot entered the collection of Henry, 5th Duke of Grafton, in 1844 at the death of his aunt Princess Sophia Mathilda, who in turn inherited them from her father, the Duke of Gloucester and brother of King George III. Consul Smith's collection contained 33 drawings by Marco Ricci which were all of the same size and technique as the present sheet. It is most likely that the King presented these two drawings to his brother, the Duke of Gloucester, shortly after he acquired the collection from Smith in 1762 (A. Scarpa Sonino, Marco Ricci, Milan, 1991, nos. 93-124).

Editor's Journal: Trusting a promise
Far away from the pomp and pageantry that accompanied the public mourning and remembrance of the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, a different sort of realization with a distinct absence of memory brought sobriety to me this week. Tucked away off a road seldom travelled (and literally in the middle of nowhere) is a small cemetery with graves dating back to the early 1900s.
The road is largely overgrown and many of the headstones lie fallen to the ground. The silent artillery of time has demolished some of the graves, and more than half of the tombstones are slick as the rain of more than 100 years has washed over them. Names once clearly etched in stone are no longer visible. The earth is packed hard around the cemetery, and weeds and grass grow tall amidst the wild flowers.
Two small graves appear off the side of the road. One contains the bodies of two infant boys. They are the sons of Fred and Metta Carson. Wilber lived less than a month (May 31-June 2, 1911). Merrel survived just longer than one week (Jan. 8-15, 1913). To the left of this grave are the remains of Bula L. Carson. She lived four days—Sept. 1-4, 1917. In the area adjacent to these graves are the graves of other small children—probably the victims (as near as historians can tell) of some sort of influenza outbreak. Perhaps Bula was even infected by the influenza pandemic that swept over the world just after her death (1918).
The graves of their parents are not here. As best as historical records can tell, they moved on to another part of Oklahoma—perhaps the panhandle— where they died during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Those were in the days when stocks crashed and the rains disappeared. In the words of author Timothy Egan in his bestselling work on the era, The Worst Hard Time, "dust clouds boiled up, ten thousand feet or more in the sky, and rolled like moving mountains—a force of their own. When the dust fell, it penetrated everything: hair, nose, throat, kitchen, bedroom, well. A scoop shovel was needed just to clean the house in the morning."
Egan states that the most eerie part of the weather phenomenon was the darkness—literally midnight at midday.
"People tied themselves to ropes before going to a barn just a few hundred feet away," Egan writes. Many children died from what doctors termed, "dust pneumonia." In desperation, some parents even gave their children away.
The only response to an awareness of such events is to lament. Such thoughts are terrifying to most people. For over time, even the most pleasant gravesite could soon become something akin to where the Carson children are buried —remote, isolated and forgotten. They are not alone. Most people die and are buried with their memory barely lasting through the lives of their children. Worse still is the grief of a parent laying their children to rest in their graves. At times, the pain of this fallen world seems like too much to bear. The reality of pain is overwhelming and immobilizing.
And yet, the church of Jesus Christ in the modern day seems blissfully unaware of the sorrows of this life. Most congregations have lost the theological reality of lament. To lament anything in the modern era is to be seen as weak, frail and something to be avoided if at all possible—especially during the public worship of God. Modern evangelical worship styles highlight the celebratory aspects of God's character almost to the total exclusion of the realization that Jesus was a man of sorrows acquainted with grief (Isa. 53:3). Faced with the reality of Lazarus' death, Jesus wept (John 11:35). On the night in which He was betrayed, Jesus poured out His soul before the Father in agony. How often is prayer portrayed as agonizing by the American church today? Yet, that infamous evening in the garden of Gethsemane Jesus' lament and prayer to the Father was so intense that "His sweat became like great drops of blood falling to the ground." (Luke 22:44). Here was a man in deep lamentation.
Why? What would cause the Son of God to lament in such a manner as this? What could possibly lie behind such raw emotion? Even as Jesus rose to find His disciples asleep, Judas appeared with those who would usher Him to trial in the middle of the night and finish what God started from before the foundation of the Earth. The crucifixion of Jesus was no accident, no mere death of a good man. Jesus did not gleefully go to Golgotha. Rather, in obedience to the Father's will, He endured the cross.
None can enter into the suffering of Jesus. While God's children might fill up His sufferings (Col. 1:24), that moment at Calvary was unique in the history of humankind. The cross stands ever to remain through centuries—undaunted, unchanged. Its power to loose men from the corruption of sin comes at a very high price—the life of the Son of God—the One described as the Lamb of God slain from before the foundation of the world.
Thinking of the senseless, cruel act of Timothy McVeigh's sin as I listened to the names of the 168 victims read aloud by members of their families, I tried to imagine what Oklahomans must have felt during the immediate aftermath of the explosion. My mind also wandered to the graves of the Carson infants. By their graves on this day, there was no distant relative to remember, no sound of bagpipes playing "Amazing Grace," no prayers uttered, no one—nothing but a deafening silence shouting that the way of all flesh is death.
The hope of the world resides in a dying man beaten beyond recognition and nailed to a Roman cross centuries ago. By His death, resurrection and ascension, the curse has been reversed, but not fully realized at present. Biblical hope by faith is the present possession of those who are called not to see Jesus with their eyes, but to hear and believe the Gospel. Through the efficacy of a divinely enabled capacity to hear and heed the biblical Gospel, hope is grounded in the historical reality of Jesus as He now stands in victory over death, Hell and the grave.
One day (perhaps sooner than anyone would dare to think) the graves of Wilber, Merrel and Bula Carson will be opened. They will appear in heavenly splendor through the power and promise of Jesus.
"Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you." Isaiah 49:15.

The attorney general of the Syrian province Hama resigned in a video posted online by activists Thursday in protest of President Bashar al-Assad's violent response to peaceful protesters.
In his video statement, Adnan Muhammad al-Bakkour cited specific reasons for his resignation, including that 72 prisoners were killed in Hama's central prison July 31, and that more than 400 bodies were buried in mass graves in public parks by Assad forces and loyalists.
"I, the attorney general of Hama, Adnan Muhammad al-Bakkour, announce my resignation from my position in the state that is shadowed by Assad and his gangs," he began.
Watch and listen to al-Bakkour resign in the translated video below. —BF

Education bosses have shut Castle View School in Essex and fee-paying Hampton School in Richmond after pupils were diagnosed with the virus.
One child 12-year-old Joe Bland has been affected at Castle View and two others are undergoing tests.
Joe fell ill after a family holiday to Mexico and was home for a week before he started showing symptoms.
A local GP carried out tests after the schoolboy's parents contacted NHS Direct.
Two other Year 8 friends had also been on the trip including one who attends another secondary school in the town.
Tests are now being carried out on these children to check if they have the virus.
More than 160 pupils at the secondary school have been given Tamiflu and only those taking GCSEs are allowed into the school.
The parents of 12-year-old Joe said he was only unwell for a short period and was feeling a lot better.'
His mother Louise, 33, said: "I kept him off school for a week after we got back from Mexico as a precaution even though he wasn't showing any symptoms throughout that time.
"I checked with the school before sending him back for the day on Tuesday last week. Unfortunately he came down with the symptoms that night which had started with him saying he had achy legs. He was physically sick overnight and had a high temperature."
"The doctor tested Joe and put him and the rest of the family on the drugs. Thankfully he's a lot better now and it really only affected him for a short period of time."
This follows the closure this week of Hampton School after an 11-year-old boy developed symptoms.
Eleven new cases have also been confirmed at Alleyn's School in Dulwich bringing the number of pupils and staff affected to 21.
The school was still due to reopen today after being shut last week.
Anti-viral drug Tamiflu will be handed out to parents of all Year 7 pupils at Hampton School today (Mon) with a clinic session for students and staff who may have come into contact with the pupil. He is recovering well at home.
Students from the neighbouring girls' school, Lady Eleanor Holles, were also being treated as they may have shared bus journeys with the infected boy.
Tests are expected to confirm today whether the boy's strain of influenza is swine flu. He became ill after returning from New York. Pupils were sent home on Friday from the independent boys' school in south-west London with letters advising parents of the closure and the appropriate measures to take.
The letter, signed by acting headteacher Phillipa Message, reads: "There is nothing the school can do at present to prevent an outbreak of swine fever [sic] but we should like to reassure parents that we are prepared and have a course of action that can be activated if necessary."
Exams are due to start at the school this week and pupils have been told not to gather in groups before or afterwards.
Six more Alleyn's pupils were confirmed to have swine flu on Saturday. Another four and one adult were confirmed yesterday.
Last week there were outbreaks at Dolphin School in Battersea and at South Hampstead High School.
A 50-year-old Westminster man was also confirmed at the weekend as having the virus, taking the total of UK cases to 55.
The Department of Health said all the cases had been mild.
