One of the most common pieces of advice new business owners and professionals will hear is to find a good mentor. A mentor, someone with a similar career trajectory or industry experience, can guide you through the challenges and pitfalls of your chosen path, and introduce you to valuable connections that can help you down the road.
As with any relationship, the one between mentor and mentee does not simply happen overnight. In order to take advantage of the many benefits of mentorship, you must first ask someone for his or her guidance. Noam Kostucki, a serial entrepreneur and executive coach, discovered that even if you believe you've found the perfect mentor, that person may not be interested.
"When I set up my business, I really struggled [to find a mentor]," said Kostucki, co-author of "Seek to Keep" (self-published, 2014). "For six months, I didn't get a single meeting. I had a track record of hundreds of emails I never received a reply to, dead-end phone calls and meetings with improbable mentors." [How to Choose a Good Mentor]
When Kostucki finally did find a mentor, he realized that it was only through his persistent efforts that he was able to discover the right match. He and co-author Lujie Chen, co-founder of entrepreneurship non-profit organization Kairos Society ASEAN, outlined four steps for asking someone for mentorship.
Identify potential mentors. Create a spreadsheet of people who have at least one characteristic that makes them potential mentors. For instance, maybe they have your ideal job. Look into your personal network, and research influencers in your field (practitioners, experts, bloggers, journalists, speakers, authors, business owners, etc.). Sort and prioritize these potential mentors, placing the ones you are closest to and feel the most natural connection with at the top.
Research your top mentors. Learn everything you can about the top few candidates on your list by visiting their website, reading articles or books they've written, following their social media accounts, and watching their videos. You can start establishing a connection by sharing or commenting on their posts and content.
Make contact. Reach out to the first 10 people on your list, starting from the top, and tell them what you want to talk about. For example, you might want to learn how they got the type of job they have, hear their experience in that industry, get their advice on the next big thing in the industry or better understand their work. Ask them for a specific amount of time to talk over the phone, meet for coffee or grab lunch. If they agree to a conversation or meeting and they're a good match, continue the conversation, and ask to meet again. If it doesn't work out, ask for people they can introduce you to who also have the characteristics you're looking for.
Repeat the process. Whether the people on your list respond to you or not, continue to reach out to potential mentors, and keep growing your list.

Tragedy of Greek Island Holiday Death
A local rugby player has died whilst on holiday in Greece.
Tragic Danny Kelly, 23, is thought to have drowned in the Ionian Sea.
His body was washed up on Monday evening, where it was discovered by horrified bathers.
Danny, from Keighley, is believed to have been just a couple of days into his sunshine break with pals on the Ionian island of Zakynthos.
According to Greek news reports Danny went missing on Sunday during a late night beach party.
The keen rugby league player disappeared in the sea at Laganas Beach.
The terrible news of Danny's death has sparked tributes and messages of condolence from friends and those who knew him from rugby.
Police are currently conducting a preliminary investigation on the cause of death, while his body will be transferred to Patras for a post mortem.
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokeswoman said:" We can confirm the death of a British national in Zakynthos, Greece. We are liaising closely with local authorities and are in contact with the family to provide support."

Ever get exhausted of watching twenty minutes of a film on Netflix, just to be bored out of your mind or disappointed with the story and turn it off? Never fear, well maybe fear a little, Truly Disturbing is here to help. Welcome to Truly Disturbing's Weekly Netflix Fix, a place where you can find assistance with what's worth watching and what's worth scrolling past. Both obscure and mainstream titles alike await your ever-hopeful viewing pleasure…
Synopsis: Promising a trip that transcends time and space, a drug called Soy Sauce is sweeping the landscape — and quietly robbing users of their humanity. Now, it's up to a couple of slackers to stop the psychotropic invasion before it's too late.
Why It Disturbs: This movie is insane from start to finish. Helmed by the legendary Don Coscarelli (Phantasm and Bubba Ho-Tep) it smashes together science fiction, drugs, and horror, in the best possible way. A head-trippin' instant cult classic.
Synopsis: This wild sci-fi vision imagines a freaky future where diseases caught by celebrities are put on the market for injection by their obsessed fans. Virus dealer Syd March makes a big mistake when he gives himself the same bug that killed a superstar.
Why It Disturbs: The directorial debut of David Cronenberg's son, Brandon, proves that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. It peels back the thin veneer between celebrity mania and demented obsession and forces a well-deserved smack to the face of society.
Synopsis: Down on his luck and trying to keep a grip on his precarious mental health, has-been horror-film icon Paul Toombes (Vincent Price) takes a stab at revitalizing his career by starring in a television series based on his famous silver screen persona, Dr. Death. But when people start dying in gruesome ways that resemble Dr. Death's handiwork, Toombes suspects the evil character has completely taken over his mind. Jim Clark directs this thriller.
Why It Disturbs: Vincent Price. Peter Cushing. Robert Quarry. That alone makes it a fucking masterpiece!
Synopsis: A cash-strapped college student named Samantha (Jocelin Donahue) takes a babysitting job during a full lunar eclipse and ends up fighting for her life. She soon discovers that her employers, Tom (Tom Noonan) and Mary (Mary Woronov) Ulman, are hiding a wicked, sick and twisted secret. Ti West (Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever) writes, directs and edits this terrifying film set in the early 1980s. Greta Gerwig and AJ Bowen co-star.
Why It Disturbs: Shot in 16mm, this throwback to the late seventies, early eighties slashers slash "hail satan" films that flooded the market, looks and feels as if it was actually made back then. There is a Walkman!! I believe in Ti West. He may be the only one to save true horror from the rest of the squirrels out there.
Synopsis: When writer Jenny Hill rents a remote cabin, she's surprised to find the locals far too friendly. But what follows is decidedly unpleasant: After being violated and left for dead, she goes on her own spree of killing, mutilation and castration.
Why It Disturbs: There is a bathtub scene that will stay with you for the rest of your life. Optimum Meir Zarchi. One of the 28 films on UK's infamous "Video Nasty" list.
Synopsis: Based on a story by H.P. Lovecraft, this campy send-up follows a medical student who develops a serum that miraculously revives the dead. With his roommate and his girlfriend, he reanimates a corpse — but he doesn't factor in certain complications.
Why It Disturbs: This is beyond a doubt, the most insane thing to come out of the eighties, and that's saying something. One of the only films ever to actually live up the hype surrounding it's cult status. Stuart Gordon. Jeffrey Combs. A head giving head. Enough said.
Synopsis: An affluent family is settling into their secluded lakeside vacation property when two young men invade the home and take the family hostage. The pair begin to play sadistic games, betting whether the family will survive by morning.
Why It Disturbs: This week I reviewed a "home invasion" film and didn't find it to be all that good. Well, to make up for it, and to round out this next week, I recommend to you Funny Games. Directed by Michael Haneke (Cache), this is a film that has been hailed as the most disturbing film you will ever see. I'm not sure I believe that, but it will stay with you, guaranteed, long after the credits have faded to black.
Synopsis: Set in an old mansion off the coast of Maine, this cult classic television series follows the bizarre exploits of the Collins family, who cross paths with ghosts, werewolves, witches and other supernatural beings over the course of several centuries. Originally conceived as a moody melodrama, this groundbreaking gothic soap found success following the introduction of tormented vampire Barnabas Collins (Jonathan Frid).
Why It Disturbs: Fan of the Tim Burton remake? I'm not. This is only because I've had the privilege to watch the TV show. Running every weekday, from 66-71, this gothic soap opera inspired generations of filmmakers to pursue their dark talents. In the beginning, ABC didn't give them much money. They wrote the scripts and filmed the shots, completely live, many times the actors screwing up their lines and trudging through like an obscure play, camera still rolling. Guerilla filmmaking in its purest form, but for television, and every weekday!
Be sure to tune in next week when your fix runs out. Truly Disturbing.

Wichita Juvenile Justice Reform Gains Momentum
Associated Press - October 20, 2015 4:40 pm
Former Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer is expected to officially announce that he will run for governor next year.
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Efforts to reform the juvenile justice system in Kansas are gaining new momentum with the launch this week of a grassroots campaign.
Kansans United for Youth Justice on Tuesday released a report outlining problems and proposing reforms. Kansas ranks eighth in the nation for its overuse for the confinement of youth even though the juvenile crime rate is lower than the national average.
A series of community meetings are planned across the state beginning Tuesday in Overland Park. Similar events are planned in the coming days in Ottawa, Kansas City, Wichita and Garden City.
The effort aims to end the practice of sending low and moderate risk youths to prison or out-of-home placements. It wants to shift funding away from incarceration and to local intensive rehabilitation programs.

Take a wild guess as to what a few of the highest-paying jobs are for women.
By Betsy Mikel (Editor, Women 2.0)
In case you needed a reminder that more women should pursue jobs in tech, check out what last year's highest paying jobs for women were. Traditional careers like pharmacist, doctor and lawyer are still up there, but just as many tech-related jobs -- like computer and information systems manager, software developer, computer programer and computer systems analyst -- continue to be the best paying jobs for women.
There's also data that proves more women than ever are jumping into entrepreneurship. Women are starting new firms at twice the rate of all other businesses. Read on to see which countries have the highest percentages of female entrepreneurs.
What about this data do you find the most surprising?

"On Ken's Relationship with Helen"," 10 minutes, (click here);
One Hour Interview with Ken Wapnick By Ken Bok... click here
See latest book release from FACIM based on Ken's writings: click here
And… A Tribute to Ken upon His Passing:
Ken was my teacher, living example of the Course and dear friend. My first experience of Ken was hearing a cassette of "this guy from New York who edited that course" explaining why I'd immediately forget the paragraph in the text that I just read. My last experience of Ken was at the Foundation workshop I attended last year where he once again illuminated the Course's holy trinity: Forgiveness, Love and Joining.
I was overjoyed when the Foundation relocated to Temecula, and I could get my heart and soul refreshed and reawakened in The Oasis of Peace that Ken made the Foundation. I delighted in watching him welcome new and veteran Course students with smiles, hugs, the occasional prank and always loving attentiveness to each of us.
Ken truly brought the Course to life. I sought his help when I was in a desperate heart of darkness period. This was just one of the many conversations we had during that dark time. Through tears I said, "Ken, I feel as if I've painted myself into a corner and can't get out." Ken reflected a moment, and looking at me lovingly with his familiar impish smile said, "You don't have to wait for the paint to dry." I see his smile and feel his love now and always.

US: Stony Apparel chooses NGC for integrated PLM
20 November 2009 | News | Source: just-style.com
Stony Apparel, maker of branded and private label fashion for girls and juniors, is implementing the Global Enterprise System software suite from NGC (New Generation Computing) to help streamline business processes and improve efficiency.
The suite should also help manage the company's rapid growth, provide global visibility, and boost speed-to-market.
"We needed an integrated system that could tie everything together," said Richard Swartz, Stony Apparel's CFO.
Specifically, the manufacturer sought an "end to end" ERP, PLM and global sourcing software solution to transform its design, customer service, production and shipping processes for the hundreds of styles produced each month.
Expected benefits are likely to include improved collaboration with factories in Mexico, Central America and China, better design costing, elimination of redundant data entries, and enhanced customer service.
It has also selected the CPSIA Compliance Module to manage the complex testing processes mandated by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA).

Well known Arsenal fan nicknamed 'Bully' was behind the swearing barrage targeted at the Turkish referee Cüneyt Çakır yesterday evening according to AMK.
The daily Turkish newspaper claim that Bully's words were heard clearly on Turkish TV and were part of the reason why TRT muted the commentary during the game.
AMK went on to state that the well known Arsenal fan's profanities could be heard on the TRT broadcast until they cut to their in-house team on 65 minutes.
Bully is frequent contributor to Arsenal Fan TV and a lifelong Arsenal supporter.
TRT match commentators Yalcin Cetin and Omer Urundul were busy covering the Arsenal v Barcelona game until their voices became overshadowed by an Arsenal fan f'in and blinding.
The two commentaries had been placed in an overspill area very close to the home support but let's just say they were not exactly down with the fans and soon evacuated their area.
TRT did however, continue commentary from their studios in Turkey safe from the raucous home fans.

How Can You Heat Large Quantities Of Water Off Grid?
sort by best latest
With solar energy. You can use solar panels, if you live somewhere with a reasonable amount of sunlight. You can even heat water a bit by pumping it through black hose when it's sunny Using solar energy for the pump). You really need to say what kind of climate you live in, whether you have access to new technology and just what kind of facilities or bits of "stuff" you have available that could be used. For instance, if you have old radiators (from an old central heating system), you can paint them black, join them into a circulation system with a tank and it should keep itself gong without any electricity, heating water.

|Mom and dad, 1980's probably, drinking tea
I don't have any memories of my grandmother's cooking; they both lived so far away, one in England, the other in New Orleans, and we did not see them very often. I am envious of those who had grandparents close by, to run and visit, to learn to cook with, and to tell them stories. My English granny came to visit a few times and my memory of her is of drinking tea with her, although I do remember her making a jam tart for us once. She was sweet and loving and we adored her.
My New Orleans grandmother--I have no memory of her cooking at all, although I know she did cook for us occasionally when she came to visit. She did not approve of us thirteen children, calling us "hellions" which no doubt we were! In her letters to her daughter, which came to us after her death, she talks extensively of cooking and sent recipes, often trying out the "new" foods like jello, or new mixed drinks. I am sorry not to have known her better, but her disapproval unfortunately colored my later relationship with her. Perhaps as an adult she would have liked me better, although my country lifestyle was probably also on her "not approved" list.
Mom cooked. A lot. For a lot of people in our house. But my memories of my mother and food actually center around tea: tea made in a china teapot with boiling water, loose English tea and poured into china cups and served with milk and sugar. "Proper tea," she called it, and turned up her nose at tea in restaurants made with hot water and served with lemon. Later in life she used teabags (preferring PJ Tips brand that she mail-ordered). I still make my tea like my mother taught me, although my brand choices are Yorkshire Red and Bewley's Irish Breakfast.
I sent the photo of the elderly woman washing dishes to a group I am in, and asked them, "what food cooked by your mom or grandmother was your favorite? The responses seemed to speak of times gone by, recipes that most people have never tasted or heard of. Here's a few of the foods they mentioned. How many of these have you eaten? I have to admit, I can only claim ten. I think I have some experimenting to do!
- Stuffed cabbage
- Fried corn
- Oxtail soup
- homemade noodles and dumplings
- strawberry rhubarb pie
- cornbread sticks, eaten after school as snacks with peanut butter stuffing
- wilted lettuce and bacon salad
- biscuits with chocolate gravy
- pork, sauerkruat and potato dumplings
- chicken balls
- gooseberry mousse
- chicken schnitzel
- cottage cheese biscuits
- pierogi
- homemade butterscotch pie

One Frame – Together Shoot in London
Bre & Michael are lovely. Extremely hard to pin down, but lovely.
They live in Australia. We met over Skype, and then met again a few months when we had a small window of opportunity for a pre-wedding session. We got rained off. I mean it really came down, and there was no chance that we were going to get anywhere near the pictures I had in mind, and even though they were heading back to Oz we had to crack out the diary and re-schedule. It looked like they were landing at Heathrow two weeks before their wedding, which happened to be last Sunday.
So rain or shine, it had to be done, and yesterday we did it. The pinning down was a necessity. And the sun it did shine.
We had a great time too. We met in London in the middle of Leadenhall Market at lunch time. Busy.
Somehow with the jet lag, the sunshine, and the throbbing city, everything came together really well. I wanted to see these two in a chaotic environment to match their busy, multiple destination lifestyle – each place a springboard to another phase in their life. We also found some pretty exotic locations along the way, which seemed to match up with the way Bre & Mike approach their travels. It was just really nice to see them shut out the world around them an focus on each other – us against the world.
Great fun, and I can't wait to see them both again at their Ramster Hall Wedding in a couple of weeks.
For now, just this one – Bre relaxing between shots at a stunning location. The perfect setting for their London Pre-Wedding Destination session.

Cliff Lee to the Phillies. That gives them an embarrassment of riches on pitching and offense. I was surprised when Philly didn't go deeper in the playoffs last year, and I'll be shocked if they don't make the Series this year.
I'll go on a limb and pick a Sox/Phils World Series. Sox in six.
Having said that, it seems to me now that the teams to beat in the majors now are the Red Sox, Yanks, Angels, Rangers (replacing the Rays as a potential division-leading team without deep pockets) and Twins (perennial leaders also without the cash of the first three teams) in the American League and, in the National League, the Dodgers, Phillies (which has more money now than ever before), Mets (constant disappointments despite deep pockets), Braves (which doesn't spend as much as the others, without reason), with the Giants contending for now, but with little money to keep up after The Freak leaves. The Padres are an example of this now.
I say this because I suppose that there is better balance in MLB, yet the same teams--with the sporadic surprises every year--keep making the playoffs, don't they? Anyone expect the Nationals or Royals to make the postseason? I'm glad I'm a fan of a team constantly in contention, that's all I'm sayin'.
Take a look at my writers/readers blog, and look at the entry for this blog. One of those subjects will be on this blog soon. Topics include HOF voting (Why did Ruth, Williams, etc. have a surprisingly large percentage of voters vote against their inclusion in the Hall?); Pedro's greatness as measured in different ways than maybe you've seen before; a positional analysis of the Sox (and whatever other team I feel like); and a trip around the American League, and a coast through the National. Lots to get to. Just tryin' to find the time.
Blog posts about specific baseball cards--images of the card itself and info about the player and his career--and commentary about baseball in general.

It was so good to find La Nuit de L'Homme still available in after shave balm. this is the most pleasant men's fragrance I have ever used. It is a favorite of mine and the majority of women in my life. It is clean, refreshing and not overwhelmingly sweet as so many of the other cheap after shaves.

Ostensibly there were no massive surprises concerning the line-up for the exploratory talks that might create an £80bn merger between Barclays and ABN Amro.
As revealed on www.thelawyer.com last week, Barclays turned to go-to advisers Clifford Chance and Sullivan & Cromwell. The firm is reportedly looking after the Dutch law aspects itself.
That's not the case at magic circle rival Allen & Overy (A&O), which, despite the undoubted strength of its Dutch corporate practice, is being assisted by ABN Amro's trusted Dutch firm Nauta Dutilh.
A source close to the deal says there was never any question of A&O and Nauta not being instructed by ABN, as the two firms were already advising the bank on what to do about The Children's Investment Fund, a particularly active hedge fund that had been calling for the break-up of ABN even before the Barclays talks.
But it is apparently Davis Polk & Wardwell, teaming up with Nauta, that is doing the heavy lifting for ABN on the potential talks.

Door hanger conversion
A home owner from Miami, FL says:
June 4, 2014
I purchased a 36" sliding screen door at Lowe's, but it's meant to roll on tracks which I now realize I don't have. My neighbor has the same setup as me, but her door hangs on two rollers, which I do have the track for the door to hang on. Of course my door is not set up to hang. My question is if your part #84-060 can be added to my door, and if I need one or two of them.
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
June 5, 2014
Check the thickness of the patio screen door you purchased. If it's 1/2" thick then it should fit into the channel of the 84-060. You could have a problem with the height of the door once this is installed on top, though. The 84-060 will increase the height of door. You can't really tell until you actually install it or test fit it into your Patio door track. You might need to go to a glass shop or hardware store that make up patio screen doors in a custom size and then add the 84-060 to the top rail.

SALT LAKE CITY — Rocky Anderson held a noon rally in Pioneer Park Friday, continuing his practice of protesting whenever George W. Bush comes to Utah.
The protest, his fourth for a Bush visit, attracted about 70 supporters and a full complement of Salt Lake media for speeches condemning torture, the Bush administration's role in military interrogation techniques at Abu Ghraib prison and the use of information extracted through use of extreme interrogation techniques such as waterboarding.
"There are never any exceptions to the prohibitions against torture" in the United States' judicial process and military and political history, said Anderson, the former Salt Lake mayor and current executive director of High Road for Humanity.
"U.S. servicemen have been prosecuted for participating in torture. How is it we prosecuted our own service people but the president of the United States can order torture and come here and sign books at Costco bragging about him saying 'damn right' when he was asked should we go forward with torture?" Anderson said.34 comments on this story
David R. Irvine, a former Republican Utah legislator and retired Army Reserve brigadier general was also among the speakers at the rally. He said he found it "revealing" that Bush's new book only has three pages that talk about interrogation.
"If torture is really the panacea for cracking tough cases, why do we not incorporate it as a standard practice in our criminal justice system? Torture has not made us safer," Irvine said. "This debate is not about who's a wuss on terror; it's about what makes the most sense for national security and upholding the Constitution."

Tanzanians have been urged to stop complaining and work hard in order to achieve their success in different issues such as employment.
CHADEMA Special Sit MP from Kwimba Province, Leticia Nyerere
Making her contribution on the Ministry of East Africa Cooperation this evening, Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo CHADEMA Special Sit MP, Leticia Nyerere said this is not the time of Tanzanians to complain on losing their opportunities because of EAC.
"I sometimes wonder why Tanzanians fear the Cooperation. Some youth afraid of losing employment opportunities…I want to tell my fellow youth, if you want success you should be closer with the successful person. Every Tanzanian should work hard. Let other EAC countries come, it is through competition we can work hard and develop."
The legislator emphasized her point by giving example of a poor person who wants to be rich, must be close to rich man. It is through that he can learn how a person becomes rich.
The Ministry of East Africa Cooperation 2012/2013 budget is expected to be approved this evening after a one day discussion by the MPs.

Gaming monitor happens to be a computer overseer that is designed and constructed particularly for you to use with your video games. For gaming purposes, it may be important to use the best budget gaming monitor that has a fast refresh rate. With the distinct games, the action on your display may change rapidly and often, hence a monitor that has a faster refresh rate may have the ability to handle the fast changing images without impacting on your game negatively.
Benefits of a Good Gaming Monitor
1) It is responsive to games
Monitor's refresh rate have an effect on your input lag. For instance, it allows images are passing with a faster rate visible. This ensures you enjoy your game as you play. It does this by decreasing lag with a few milliseconds which in the real sense may not seem important for you, but it has a great impact on the game images.
2) Has improved motion resolutions
This is one of the major benefits of a gaming monitor. It has faster and improved motion resolution; this may be explained as the recognized sharpness of any image in motion. Lack of clarity may occur due to how your brain sees the image frames your screen.
Since monitors have a faster and higher refresh rate, it helps reduce the lack of clarity by offering your brain a lot of data to play on, as a result, the perceived blur is reduced.
You should ensure you have one monitor to ensure gaming is fun. If you have experienced blur or stuttering as you play your game, you should make an effort and get a gaming monitor as it makes the experience better.
3) It reduces screen scratching in games
Frame rate and refresh rate are two different things, the difference between the two may result to an artifact. This mostly occurs when your computers video card spits out frames, you will notice this if you are keen.
Having a gaming monitor helps you to refresh at a faster rate hence enabling you to eliminate the screen tearing whenever you play.
If all you need is gaming and gaming alone, you should ensure that you get yourself a gaming monitor to ensure that you benefit from the advantages that come with using it. Since they are many in the market and affordable, it's upon you as you don't have to struggle anymore when gaming!

Space, the final frontier! I've always wanted to type that. Anyway, we're here on a Sunday and we found a fun video that explains how people go to space using the 1,000 most common words in the English language. Being a nerd who uses words on a daily basis this thing caught my eye and caught my ear. Believe it or not, words like rocket, space shuttle, and fuel did not make the cut. For example, the replacement term for fuel is "fire water". It is kind of brilliant how they word the whole thing to stay within their own self imposed rules.
Space travel has come up in recent days as NASA has announced they they were looking to start hiring astronauts for potential missions to Mars, etc. We suspect the first couple waves (generations?) of these perspective martians will spend their careers doing the yeoman's work of training and developing the technology that will someday allow people to survive a trip into the deepest, darkest, depths of space and eventually land on Mars. It'll happen. Maybe not in our lifetimes, but it will totally happen.
Anyway, this is a pretty comprehensive video that covers virtually every aspect of getting to space and does so with fun illustrations and with oddly quirky language. Like we said before, it is Sunday and we know you are doing whatever you can not to work….allow us to help!

Leading Perth jockey William Pike has chosen his ride in Saturday's $500,000 Perth Cup (2400m) at Ascot and it is not the one most punters would have predicted.
Pike has elected to ride Neverland and not the current favourite, Delicacy, which won him the Group II C B Cox Stakes (2100m) at Ascot on December 19.
Peter Hall will ride Delicacy, Glenn Smith will ride reigning Perth Cup winner Real Love and Chris Parnham will partner Respondent for owner Bob Peters.
Peters told The West he felt the 5kg weight difference between Delicacy and Neverland was a vital factor.
"I had a good talk with him (Pike) and we thought the weight difference was too much," Peters said.
"It will have to be a pretty special effort for Delicacy to win with that weight over that distance. At the weights, Neverland is a better chance. I don't think there's a lot between them."
The TAB has Delicacy as its $2.30 favourite ahead of Perfect Reflection ($4.50) with Neverland and Real Love both available at $7.

Patrick Pelata, who is leading the talks for the Renault/Nissan side, said this week he believed his side had made a strong case in favour of a deal, which he said could help GM fend off a strong challenge from Toyota, No. 2 behind GM worldwide.
But he said he was not sure if the case had been strong enough to convince GM, whose biggest shareholder, Kirk Kerkorian, proposed the arrangement in mid-July.
Mr Pelata, an associate of Carlos Ghosn, the chief executive of both Renault and Nissan, said members of GM's negotiating team, including its chief financial officer, Frederick Henderson, had said they were wary of Renault and Nissan's claims because of GM's experiences in its alliances with other car companies.
Referring to the hoped-for synergies in those deals, with companies such as Suzuki, Fiat and Isuzu, Mr Pelata said that GM officials told the Renault/Nissan side that they had "never seen them come about".
A GM spokesman, Brian Akre, took issue with the notion that GM would be sceptical of a partnership because of past relationships with other car makers.
"We've had multiple alliances, some of which have been very successful and some of which have not," Mr Akre said.
It was the most detail about the talks on a possible deal to date. They began on July 14, after a meeting in Detroit between Rick Wagoner, GM's chief executive, and Mr Ghosn, who led product development at Nissan after the 1999 alliance with Renault.
The two sides agreed to spend 90 days exploring an alliance, which Renault and Nissan say could range from buying to manufacturing to product development.
A spokeswoman for Nissan North America, Frederique Le Greves, said that the talks were making progress.
"The discussions still go on," she said. "The study will go the 90 days."
The two chief executives are to meet again later this week here, where both will attend the Paris Motor Show.
Neither side has confirmed the exact date of the meeting. But in recent days, news reports and industry analysts have suggested that the talks had stalled over the reluctance by GM to enter an alliance with Renault and Nissan, particularly when it is moving forward on a restructuring plan.
Some analysts theorise the meeting could provide a graceful way for the two chief executives to end the discussions, which Mr Ghosn has said would not proceed if GM did not wish them to continue.
Nissan and Renault, for their part, have claimed that a three-way alliance would yield a company as strong as Toyota.
Mr Pelata said his company believed there were at least 1000 areas where the three companies would improve their performance and that the list would grow should the two sides agree to a deal.
But Mr Pelata acknowledged that the complexity of the deal would be "a cost" that the companies would have to take into account.
He complained that the 90-day negotiation period was not long enough to yield the kind of detailed data that would allow Renault and Nissan to identify more such areas.
He declined to answer when asked if he thought the two sides would talk beyond that.
Still, he said, "I think we have had the right discussions. I don't know if it is enough."
Referring to this week's meeting, Mr Pelata said: "I think the meeting between Rick Wagoner and Carlos Ghosn will go further" than had the negotiating teams.
In an unusually candid moment, Mr Pelata said he had told GM's Mr Henderson that their companies needed to find a way to fend off Toyota, which could pass GM as soon as this year to rank as the world's biggest car company.
"What are we going to do," he said, other than to perhaps hope that "one day there will be a miracle, and an earthquake in Japan?"
Mr Pelata also said GM could not miss the opportunity presented by the crisis at Ford Motor Co, which recently hired a new chief executive and expanded a restructuring program that calls for it to cut more than 35,000 blue- and white-collar jobs by 2008.
"I don't think it is a good bet to say Ford is going to fail" and GM survived, he said. "If you delay fixing your performance, it's just going to get worse."
GM officials, however, have said that the company's restructuring plan as drafted by Mr Wagoner is the right course.
The strategy, outlined 10 months ago, calls for GM to cut 30,000 jobs and close all or part of a dozen plants by the end of 2008.
GM, which lost $US10.6 billion last year, has slowed its North American losses, and gained market share in recent months, although its sales are off for 2006.
Mr Pelata implied that the restructuring plan alone would not be sufficient. GM, he said, must "find a way to be at the right performance level of Toyota - not 10 years from now, but now."

fanart's not something i do often, but i've been watching supernatural pretty much every day since i've been home and i couldn't help myself. (i heard about it ages ago and really wanted to watch is, but i only recently managed to get the episodes. and oh man do i dig it. everything i could ever want in a tv show [that's not British surprisingly] - theology, urban legends, ghosts, awesome brothers. what's not to like).
i just finally got to the 4th season last night and wow do i love castiel. i've always really loved angels and the idea behind them, and the fact that he's a badass angel that has no qualms about killing people makes me so happy.
so i threw this together while watching some episodes earlier. not my best, but i always have fun using heavy black shadows, despite how rarely i show it. plus, the look of castiel is based on the comic book character constantine - that might have something to do with how this turned out.

How did the book come about? Why St. Thérèse?
A few years ago, I was approached by an editor at Paraclete Press—an editor with whom I had a long-standing relationship—with the idea of writing a book about "walking" with a saint for a year. Not a biography, or a hagiography, but a sort of lived reflection on the saint's work, thought, prayer, path. So I thought for a bit and chose Thérèse of Lisieux because there is something kind of irresistible about a beautiful young French girl who wanted to be the Bride of Christ so badly that at the age of fourteen she traveled to Rome, knelt at the feet of Pope Leo XIII, and begged for permission to enter the freezing cold, crawlingwith-neurotic-nuns, cloistered convent at Carmel. Who spent the rest of her short life in obscurity but on spiritual fire, going so far at one point as to offer herself as a "Holocaust Victim" to love. [Read more…]

Thank you for posting this; this is very informative. So, if I understand correctly IMGs and FMGs are still matching at a fairly acceptable rate? On SDN, they make it seem like nobody matched this year. I got worried as I am starting at Saba in May.
Medscape Medical News:
Match Day Reveals Slow Upward Creep in Primary Care Slots
Residency Match Day on March 18 came and went with the usual splash of big numbers. Almost 94% of seniors in US allopathic medical schools who submitted program preferences matched to a first-year (PGY-1) position. In all, a record number of 42,370 physicians in training competed for 30,750 positions divided among PGY-1 and PGY-2 positions at more than 4800 programs.
What might escape notice, however, is the continued slow rise in the number of PGY-1 primary care slots.
Of the 27,860 PGY-1 positions available this year, 13,744, or 49%, were in the primary care specialties of family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics, according to the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). The number of these primary care slots has grown 22.4% since 2012, compared with 16% growth for all first-year slots. However, most of the increase in primary care slots came in 2013, when the number rose 13.2%. Since then, the annual growth rate for primary care positions has been between 2% and 3%.
Still, slow growth is better than no growth in a sector of medicine considered short-handed.

US Medical School Students and Grads Fill 75% of PGY-1 Positions
Current students and graduates of both allopathic and osteopathic medical schools in the United States matched to roughly 75% of all PGY-1 positions this year, a repeat of 2015, 2014, and 2013. The remainder of the slots were filled by graduates of international medical schools, including those in Canada.
Of 6638 graduates of international medical schools outside of Canada who filled first-year residency positions in 2016, 43% were US citizens and 57% were non-US citizens.
Some specialties enjoyed remarkable success in filling their PGY-1 slots, according to the NRMP. Dermatology, orthopedic surgery, radiation-oncology, and vascular surgery had a total of 809 slots, and each one had a match. Emergency medicine fell one short of filling its 1895 slots. In contrast, of the 3238 PGY-1 slots available in family medicine, 73 went empty. Internal medicine saw 26 of its 7024 slots missing in action.
More information on the results of Match Day 2016 are available on the NRMP website.

Thank you for posting this; this is very informative. So, if I understand correctly IMGs and FMGs are still matching at a fairly acceptable rate? On SDN, they make it seem like nobody matched this year. I got worried as I am starting at Saba in May.
Just to note, the article above focuses on Primary Care Residencies (FM, IM, Peds, IM-Peds). However, according to the NRMP, the overall 2016 match rates for both USIMGs (53.9%) and non-U.S. citizen IMGs (50.5%) increased by about 1% even though they both had a record number of applicants.
I'm not going to speculate what these numbers mean or what is considered "fairly acceptable". I'm simply providing the objective info from credible sources and will allow others to discuss what they might mean.
Best of luck in your studies!

Thank you for that. I know you are just providing the facts and that is very helpful. At the very least, it shows that " the big dark era" of squeezing out IMGs is not there yet.
It's hard to tell if this "slow growth" is actual growth. Since the NRMP has demanded programs include all their slots in the match and other programs that never used to participate in the match are now participating, one has to wonder if the actual number of slots has increased overall in the USA? NRMP certainly likes to toot its horn that there are more slots but there are also equally less pre-matches and less non participating programs! In other words, there are more programs and participants that are compelled to use the match system!

Cloud, Hadoop, Polybase, Self-Promotion, T-SQL Tuesday
I have a post up on trying to integrate Polybase with HDInsight:
But now we run into a problem: there are certain ports which need to be open for Polybase to work. This includes port 50010 on each of the data nodes against which we want to run MapReduce jobs. This goes back to the issue we see with spinning up data nodes in Docker: ports are not available. If you've put your HDInsight cluster into an Azure VNet and monkey around with ports, you might be able to open all of the ports necessary to get this working, but that's a lot more than I'd want to mess with, as somebody who hasn't taken the time to learn much about cloud networking.
As I mention in the post, I'd much rather build my own Hadoop cluster; I don't think you save much maintenance time in the long run going with HDInsight.
Self-Promotion, Temporal Tables
I have a post on pain that I experienced with temporal tables:
This query succeeds but returns results we don't really want:
This brings back all 9 records tied to products 1 and 2 (because product 3 didn't exist on July 2nd at 8 AM UTC). But it gives us the same start and end date, so that's not right. What I really want to do is replace
DatePredictionMade, so let's try that:
This returns a syntax error. It would appear that at the time
FOR SYSTEM_TIMEis resolved,
QuantitySoldPredictiondoes not yet exist. This stops us dead in our tracks.
This is one of the two things I'd really like to change about temporal tables; the other thing (now that auto-retention is slated for release) is the ability to backfill data without turning off system versioning.
Partitioning, Polybase, Self-Promotion
I look at using SQL 2000-style partitioning with a set of external tables:
Using a view, we were able to create a "partitioned" Polybase experience, similar to what we had in SQL Server 2000. This form of poor man's partitioning allows us to segment out data sets and query them independently, something which can be helpful when storing very large amounts of data off-site and only occasionally needing to query it. The thing to remember, though, is that if you store this in Azure Blob Storage, you will need to pull down the entire table's worth of data to do any processing.
This leads to a concept I first heard from Ginger Grant: pseudo-StretchDB. Instead of paying for what Stretch offers, you get an important subset of the functionality at a much, much lower price. If you do store the data in Azure Blob Storage, you're paying pennies per gigabyte per month. For cold storage, like a scenario in which you need to keep data around to keep the auditors happy but your main application doesn't use that information, it can work fine. But if you need to query this data frequently, performance might be a killer.
For Polybase tables without the ability to perform external pushdown, coming up with a good partitioning strategy is probably one of the two best ways to improve performance, with creating a Polybase scale-out cluster the other method.
I look into the execution plan XML for Polybase queries:
Even for a simple query, I'm not going to expect you to read 174 lines of XML; I'm not a sadist, after all…
What follows is a look at significant lines and my commentary.
Don't listen to me there; that guy really is a sadist who wants you to read 174 lines of XML.
Hadoop, Polybase, Self-Promotion
I have a post showing how to control predicate pushdown in Polybase:
As a reminder, in order to allow predicate pushdown to occur, we need to hit a Hadoop cluster; we can't use predicate pushdown on other systems like Azure Blob Storage. Second, we need to have a resource manager link set up in our external data source. Third, we need to make sure that everything is configured correctly on the Polybase side. But once you have those items in place, it's possible to use the FORCE EXTERNALPUSHDOWN command like so:
There's also discussion of preventing MapReduce job creation as well as a pushdown-related error I had received in the past.
Containers, Hadoop, Self-Promotion
I have a post on building a five-node Hadoop cluster using Docker containers:
Notice how 3bd shows up for pretty much all of these services. This is not what you'd want to do in a real production environment, but because we want to use Docker and easily pass ports through, it's the simplest way for me to set this up. If you knew beforehand which node would host which service, you could modify the run.sh batch script that we discussed earlier and open those specific ports.
After assigning masters, we next have to define which nodes are clients in which clusters.
Click through for a screenshot-laden walkthrough.
I have a post looking at Polybase support for different compression formats:
This is a very interesting set of results. First, 7Zip archived files do not work with the default encoding. I'm not particularly surprised by this result, as 7Zip support is relatively scarce across the board and it's a niche file format (though a very efficient format).
The next failure case is tar. Tar is a weird case because it missed the first row in the file but was able to collect the remaining 776 records. Same goes for .tar.gz. I unpackaged the .tar file and the constituent SecondBasemen.csv file did in fact have all 777 records, so it's something weird about the codec.
Stick to BZip2 and GZip if you're using flat files.
Hadoop, Polybase, Self-Promotion
I take a look at connecting to a Hadoop cluster for Polybase:
There are a couple of things I want to point out here. First, the Type is HADOOP, one of the three types currently available: HADOOP (for Hadoop, Azure SQL Data Warehouse, and Azure Blob Storage), SHARD_MAP_MANAGER (for sharded Azure SQL Database Elastic Database queries), and RDBMS (for cross-database Elastic Database queries on Azure SQL Database).
Second, the Location is my name node on port 8020. If you're curious about how we figure that one out, go to Ambari (which, for me, is http://sandbox.hortonworks.com:8080) and go to HDFS and then Configs. In the Advanced tab, you can see the name node:
There are different options available for different sources, but this post is focused on Hadoop.
Hadoop, Self-Promotion, Streaming
I have an article on enriching data stored in a Kafka topic:
We're going a bunch of setup work here, so let's take it from the top. First, I declare a consumer group, which I'm calling "Airplane Enricher." Kafka uses the concept of consumer groups to allow consumers to work in parallel. Imagine that we have ten separate servers available to process messages from the Flights topic. Each flight message is independent, so it doesn't matter which consumer gets it. What does matter, though, is that multiple consumers don't get the same message, as that's a waste of resources and could lead to duplicate data processing, which would be bad.
The way Kafka works around this is to use consumer groups: within a consumer group, only one consumer will get a particular message. That way, I can have my ten servers processing messages "for real" and maybe have another consumer in a different consumer group just reading through the messages getting a count of how many records are in the topic. Once you treat topics as logs rather than queues, consumer design changes significantly.
This is a fairly lengthy read, but directly business-applicable, so I think it's well worth it.
I show how to do the basics of creating, deleting, and pushing messages on topics in Apache Kafka:
There are three important things here: first, our Zookeeper port is 2181. Zookeeper is great for centralized configuration and coordination; if you want to learn more, check out this Sean Mackrory post.
The second bit of important information is how long our retention period is. Right now, it's set to 7 days, and that's our default. Remember that messages in a Kafka topic don't go away simply because some consumer somewhere accessed them; they stay in the log until we say they can go.
Finally, we have a set of listeners. For the sandbox, the only listener is on port 6667. We connect to listeners from our outside applications, so knowing those addresses and ports is vital.
This is still quick-start level stuff, but I'm building up to custom development, honest!
