Pakistan staring at violence, strife and political instability in 2014, says Ganesha
Pakistan, our restive neighbour on the western front, has always aroused great interest among our populace, but sadly, all for the wrong reasons. Besides, recent tensions on the border have again jeopardised peace talks. After the recent democratic elections in Pakistan which brought back Nawaz Sharif as Prime Minister, hopes of lasting peace had been aroused. However, all such hopes were soon dashed with a string of violent incidents on the border, allegedly perpetrated by Pakistani troops, in which some Indian soldiers were killed. Recent times have not been kind to Pakistan, with its population facing chronic power shortages, a stagnating economy, and terrorism.With the help of Vedic astrology, Ganesha predicts that Pakistan faces a bleak future and the year 2014 is likely to be filled with violence, strife, and political instability.
Pakistan Country Chart
Pakistan will be under the influence of Venus Mahadasha and Mars Bhukti from 25th December, 2013, which will continue throughout the year 2014.
The transiting Saturn and Rahu will continue to afflict the 7th House till 12th July, 2014.
Lunar Eclipse on 15th April, 2014 , Solar eclipse on 29th April, 2014 and 24th October, 2014 will have considerable adverse effects on Pakistan.
In Pisces New Moon chart of 2014, Ascendant Lord Mars will be retrograde in the 11th House. Retrograde Saturn will be placed with Rahu in the 12th House.
The Ascendant Lord Mars is placed in the 3rd House in the star of Rahu. Mars is the Lord of 8th House as well and it is in conjunction with 4th House Lord Moon. The Dashanath Venus is the Lord of the 7th House (House of war). Hence, Pakistan's internal security will be threatened by a series of terrorist activities and war-like situations. It is indicating unrest in public and possibility of a state uprising. Pakistan's relations with other countries and the State Judiciary will be under severe stress and there are likely to be many controversies.
Scorpio rising in the Ascendant of Pisces New Moon Chart is not a good sign for Pakistan. The Ascendant Lord Mars retrograde in the 11th House indicates that fundamentalist elements will become powerful in year 2014. There will be a serious threat regarding the safety of nuclear weapons of Pakistan and country's government will be under tremendous pressure to tackle extremists. The democratic government will not be able to function efficiently. A sudden and unexpected change in government cannot be ruled out. Religious fundamentalism and ties with the military will become a major threat for the Pakistan Government.
The effects of Eclipses in 2014 will not be good for Pakistan. They are indicative of disasters, both natural and man-made. There are strong indications of storms, earthquakes, fire accidents, air crashes and political upheavals.
Moon of the Pisces New Moon chart is severely afflicted in the Navmansa. Also, retrograde Saturn conjuncts Rahu in the 12th House. Macroeconomic management will be so-so this year but due to unfavourable internal and external environment, the country's economic condition is likely to worsen in 2014. Domestic investments as well as savings will continue to slide downward. It will bring public unrest and strife. There will be violence against women and social activists. The war-mongering tendencies will increase. Pakistan will be under lots of strain and problems during 2014.
With Ganesha's Grace,

Edit Article
wikiHow to Celebrate Eid ul Fitr
Eid, popularly known as "Eid-ul-Fitr" is the holy festival of Muslims to celebrate festivity. Eid is a Muslim holiday which falls after the holy month of Ramadan in which the Muslims keep fast (Sawm). Muslims celebrate Eid on the first day of Shawwal,the tenth month of the Islamic calendar. 'Eid' means festivity in Arabic so the festival is all about celebration from the core of your heart.
1Go shopping for this day, and buy food items and clothes. People buy variety of items which includes gifts, sweets, clothes, food items etc. before eid.
2Take a bath and dress in clean clothes.
3Give Zakaat al fitr to the needy.
4Exchange gifts with your friends.
5It's desirable to come out to the prayer-place on Eid al-Fitr after eating some dates, because of the hadeeth narrated by al-Bukhaari from Anas ibn Maalik who said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would not go out on the morning of Eid al-Fitr until he had eaten some dates… and he would eat an odd number."(Bukhaari, 953)
6Offer Salah early in the morning in an Eidgah with other Muslims. Listen to the Khutbah (Eid speech).
7Go out one by one route and come back by another for Eid prayers
8->Jaabir ibn 'Abd-Allaah (may God be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of God be upon him) used to vary his routes on the day of Eid.(Bukhaari)
9->It was said that this was so that the two different routes would testify in his favour on the Day of Resurrection, because on that Day the earth will speak about everything that was done on it, good and evil.
10Hug people. This festival has a feeling of brotherhood in it. All the persons hug each other on this day regardless of caste or creed.
11Pray. Eid prayer consists of a sermon followed by a short congregational prayer. After the prayers, start visiting your relatives, eat sweets and 'sewaiyan', give gifts to children, donate something to the poor and needy and shower blessings and love upon everybody.
12Get children involved. Children enjoy the festival by wearing new clothes and playing games. Children also create handmade Eid greeting cards and present them to their family and friends.
13In some cultures mehndi (henna) is an important part of eid celebrations. Females in general decorate their hands with henna on the night before Eid.
14If you aren't Muslim, make a program with your Muslim friends and join the feast! You will have a blast; it's not ONLY prayers, prayers, prayers but it's about talking and socializing with friends and family.
15If you are Muslim, invite your non-Muslim and Muslim friends over for the feast and explain the festival.
Community Q&A
Why do Muslim people need to do that?wikiHow ContributorEid-ul-Fitr is celebrated at the end of Ramadan and it is a religious festival.
Why should we invite non-Muslims?wikiHow ContributorEveryone likes to celebrate, so why not invite others to celebrate with us? Plus, it's a nice gesture and s/he might join Islam after experiencing the kindness of Muslims.
When I reach Masjid, then what I do?wikiHow ContributorPreferably sit down and read Takbeeraat on your own.
How do I greet people on Eid ul Fitr?wikiHow ContributorSay, "Eid mubarak."
How do I celebrate Eid if my family is not Muslim?wikiHow ContributorYou can instead enjoy this holiday with Muslim friends and neighbors.
Is there an article on making Eid cards?wikiHow ContributorThere currently isn't an article specifically on Eid cards, but there are many articles on making cards in general. You could try making pop-up cards, 3-D cards and many more.
What kind of cards can you make and can you make cards for Ramadan?GalaxyhelperYou can make any kind of cards! One of my friends gave me a card for Eid, and it had a drawing of the Qibla.

If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- Don't forget to pray Salaah at the proper times.
- Don't spend extravagantly and show-off as it's prohibited in Islam.
- Some people think that Islam tells us to stay up and pray on the night of Eid, quoting an unsound hadeeth which says that "whoever stays up and prays on the night of Eid, his heart will not die on the day when hearts die." This hadeeth was reported with two isnaads, one of which is da'eef (weak), and the other is very da'eef. Islam does not tell us to single out the night of Eid for staying up and praying; if, however, a person habitually stays up and prays at night (qiyaam), there is nothing wrong with him doing so on the night of Eid as well.
- Women should avoid adornment when they go out for Eid, because they are prohibited from showing their adornment in front of non-mahram men. A woman who wants to go out is forbidden to wear perfume or to show off in a tempting way in front of men, because she is only going out for the purpose of worship.
- Don't indulge in any unislamic activity like music, drinking, attending mixed-gender gatherings etc.

USD/JPY: weekly wave analysis
Roman Petuchov
Weekly. The market is moving in a long-term bullish trend with the mark-up clearly seen on the chart. Wave (IV) seems to be complete. We expect the pair to move up in the coming weeks.
H4. The pair is expected to move to the upside in the near-term. We reccomend buying the pair.

For this week's images (I sort of skipped last week, so today you get two!), we're going back to the White Sands National Monument. As I've mentioned previously, many plants are able to survive the passage of an oncoming sand dune by growing fast enough to keep their tops above the sands. In some cases, this results in the formation of a gypsum pedestal.
But of course, not every plant manages to pull this off. The unlucky ones become encased in gypsum sand — sometimes being desiccated and encased by the sand, other times becoming replacement fossils as the surrounding minerals gradually fill enlarging gaps in the decaying wood structure. The result is a hillside covered with small, odd-looking, rough pellets:
And here's what one of the fossils looks like up close:

Speed -- it's one part obsession, two parts drug and three parts inspiration for all the best things ever done. Faster horses, faster ships, guns, aircraft, spacecraft, communications, popcorn and cars. Speed is power, progress, and the freedom to overcome anything the world can put in your way. Speed is the ultimate aphrodisiac of the soul -- the means to an end, and an end in itself. Going fast is more than just having the power to batter your way to supernatural velocities...but a lot of power sure does help.
Air Resistance
In the vacuum of space, only the speed of light limits how fast you can go. But Earthlings don't have the convenience of utter vacuum, because the stuff they breathe always gets in the way. Air is made up primarily of molecules of nitrogen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, which can be compressed, decompressed, squeezed and shoved out of the way. But those molecules will always try to return back to their original positions. This makes air an "elastic" substance, like a progressive spring. The harder you push against it, the harder it pushes back. Eventually, at some speed, even the most powerful vehicles on Earth will lose this fight with air resistance; the only question is how fast they can go given the power they have.
Speed Squared
Mathematically, air resistance increases as a square of itself. As a substance, air effectively gets "thicker" with speed. At 30 mph, overcoming air resistance is like driving through whipped cream. At 100 mph, it's like driving through water. At 200 mph, the air is as "thick" as cold molasses, and getting to 300 mph is like trying to shove a Matchbox car through a four-year-old fruitcake. The rule of thumb for speed and air resistance is that for a given car, it takes four times as much power to go twice as fast. So, if your car can do 50 mph with 35 horsepower, you'll need 140 horsepower to do 100 mph. For 200 mph, you'll need about 560 horsepower. At 300 mph, it would be around 2,240 horsepower. To break the sound barrier, you'd need around 10,000 horsepower -- roughly the equivalent of a Top Fuel engine.
Electronic Limiting
The squaring rule of thumb only applies if your car is "power limited," or limited in speed only by the amount of power it produces. In the real world, most stock vehicles are electronically limited. In the United States, where the government has yet to institute a maximum governed speed, factory speed limitations usually have more to do with the stock tires' maximum speed rating than anything else. Other countries like Japan -- 112 mph -- institute a blanket electronic speed limit. Many European cars are limited to 155 mph, a kind of "gentlemen's agreement" among manufacturers to prevent an all-out speed war on Germany's Autobahn. The Autobahn has long been a source of controversy in Germany, and it was thought at the time that a speed war and the inevitable 300 mph crashes would sway the public to impose a blanket speed limit on the Autobahn.
Gearing Limitation
Cars that aren't either power-limited or electronically limited are said to be "gearing limited." Gearing limitations means that the car can't reach its theoretical power-limited top speed either because the gearing is too low -- causing the engine to hit redline before top speed -- or too high, which keeps the engine from reaching its peak power rpm. For most engines, horsepower rises to a peak near the engine's maximum safe rpm, or "redline," and then begins to drop off after the peak. A car that's geared very low, like one designed for the quarter-mile, will accelerate very quickly but will run out of engine rpm before it hits its theoretical top speed. Such cars might alternatively be considered "rpm limited." Other cars have gearing that's too high, causing air resistance at a certain speed to overcome the engine's power before it reaches its peak horsepower rpm. This is why many gearing-limited supercars will see a higher top speed in fifth gear than they would in sixth.
Increasing Top Speed
As of 2014, the fastest stock vehicles on Earth run between 250 and 270 mph -- but there's no reason they or you couldn't go faster. Assuming your car isn't limited by gearing or an electronic governor, you've got two options for going faster: more power or less aerodynamic drag. All else being equal, reducing drag is usually the cheapest and most efficient way to increase top speed. Ideally, you'd want your car to be low, as short and small as possible when seen from the front, and pointed at both ends with a wedge-shaped nose and a "boat tail" rear. Any gaps in the sheetmetal, protrusions like mirrors, door handles and wings and open grilles in the front of the car will slow you down. Most top-speed racers use a low "air dam" on the front bumper to keep air from going under the car, and a smooth sheetmetal "belly pan" to help any air that does make it below get out. This isn't just to reduce drag -- high-pressure air building up under the car's body can cause it to lift like a wing and take flight at high speed.

Munching on a panini in a busy Sheffield brasserie Jessica Ennis screws up her face at mention of the word tadpole. 'That nickname is in everything,' she says. 'I've seen the headlines, "Tadpole makes a splash" and all that. It's horrible! I don't want to be referred to as a tadpole.'
The nickname is a reference to Ennis's size and it was fellow heptathlete Kelly Sotherton - eight years Ennis's senior and several inches taller - who coined the term at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne last January. Now they are frequently talked up as rivals, it is easy to see why Sotherton may have wanted to pin a diminutive nickname on her hugely talented and fast developing Great Britain team-mate. 'I know Denise [Lewis] used to call Kelly "Princess", so maybe it's just a tradition among us heptathletes,' says Ennis. 'She probably just calls me that because I'm small.'
Small she is. Lining up on the track alongside the imposing figures of world champion Carolina Kluft, world number two Karin Ruckstuhl and Olympic bronze medallist Sotherton, at just 5ft 4in Ennis appears minuscule, as she does in comparison to some of the heights she routinely clears in the high jump. It is difficult to imagine how her tiny frame copes with seven events over two days. Ennis's achievements, however, are fast outgrowing her nickname.
Still only 21, having recently finished her degree in psychology at Sheffield University, Ennis has made phenomanal progress since her senior debut 18 months ago. She had looked promising at junior level, winning heptathlon gold at the European Championships - the first British athlete to do so - and bronze at the World University Games in 2005, and her transition to senior competition has been seamless. Unfazed at her first major senior appearance, Ennis took bronze at the Commonwealth Games, adding over 350 points to her personal best in the process; she improved it again at the European Championships in Gothenburg last summer and had looked on course to take another bronze before dropping to sixth on the second day of competition.
This season she improved further at the European Indoors in Birmingham in March, before smashing her PB to win the IAAF Combined Events Challenge in Desenzano del Garda in May. It was at Desenzano, in Italy, that people really began to sit up and take notice as Ennis broke Lewis's Under-23 record with 6,388 points, reaching the qualifying standard for the Beijing Olympics, and equalled the 25-year-old British high-jump record with a leap of 1.95m, which is more than a foot higher than she is. Ennis is currently Britain's number-one heptathlete, and is ranked seventh in the world IAAF rankings.
Meeting her you would never guess at what she has achieved, she is so down to earth. 'I'm just not the sort of person to be arrogant,' she says. 'I'd feel stupid and uncomfortable bigging myself up. It doesn't sound right. I couldn't be like those sprinters, all strutting about, although maybe you have to be like that in those events. They're funny to watch.'
Quick to laugh at herself, she paints a comical picture of how her boyfriend Andy, a long-suffering Sheffield United fan, has to put up with her javelins and spikes littering their flat. And when Andy had to have steel pins in his knee after some vigorous Sunday League football, it was Ennis who was left with the task of playing nurse. 'I've never had a serious injury, so it was strange me being the athlete and having to look after him,' she says. 'The nurse said, right, you've got to clean all these bits, pointing to where the pins went into his leg. Before I knew it I had fainted.
'All I could hear was an alarm and all these nurses came running in. Andy was lying there on the bed laughing at me. It was the most embarrassing day. He said, "You're always trying to get attention." Poor thing, he'd be walking around with this metal bit in his leg, banging into the wall, with people in the street staring at us. I was like, "There's nothing to see here - move along!"'
Giggling away, Ennis's demeanour is worlds away from the impenetrable expression she wears when competing on the track. She acknowledges the critique. 'When I'm competing I can appear very calm on the outside,' she says, 'but on the inside I feel quite aggressive. It's hard for other people sometimes. My coach says to me in training, "You don't look like you're putting a lot of effort in." But I'm not like Carolina Kluft, the way she slaps her thighs and roars herself on. I get myself up for it in my own way.'
Toni Minichiello has been coaching Ennis since she was 13. It was his passion for combined events that swayed Ennis toward the heptathlon, despite her having started out as a sprinter.
Most heptathletes struggle with at least one event - famously for Sotherton it has been the javelin, which has been a weak point for Ennis too. So it is a surprise when Ennis vents her spleen at the 800m. 'I hate the 800m,' she says, her face fired up and full of energy. 'I'd love not to have to do that at every heptathlon. It would be nice to end it with something else. All the other events are explosive. The 800 is so hard. I know it's only two laps, but, after two days of competing and a lot depending on it, it's so painful. You always know you're going to be absolutely knackered with all the lactic acid in your legs. I can't emphasise how horrible it is. I could never be an 800m runner. I get sick with nerves before it starts.
'When I'm nervous I go a bit mardy. Before the 800 I can't talk to anyone, I'm really quiet, thinking about what I've got to do. Just thinking about it now is making me nervous. My coach knows how I cope with it, though. He'll give me a look, tell me what I've got to do and then leave me to get on with it.'
Preferring to keep her aggression and competitive instinct to herself, how does she feel when the media stir up a rivalry between her and Sotherton? 'I don't like it, because I try to avoid conflict. I'm not very opinionated. I like to be quiet sometimes. Kelly and I only really see each other when we're competing, so there is of course going to be a rivalry there, but there's nothing like any sort of hatred. I don't like it when they build it up like that.'
Discussing the other heptathletes she competes against, Ennis is more relaxed. 'Carolina Kluft is a real inspiration. You want to hate her, because she's so good, but she's just too nice.' And what of Tatyana Chernova, daughter of Olympic gold medallist Lyudmila Chernova? The 19-year-old Russian world junior champion is already prompting talk of a threat to Kluft's five-year indomitable reign. 'I'd never heard of Chernova until the World Juniors and then I thought, "Look at this girl, she's amazing." She came out this season and put 500 more points on her PB. It's mad. She's 19 and throwing 53m [in the javelin]. I'm just like, "Oh my god, how does she do it?" She's tall, but she's not even a beast.'
Javelin is Chernova's favourite event, and already she is throwing further than Kluft and almost 20m further than Ennis and Sotherton. Javelin is often cited as a serious weakness for British heptathletes, despite a strong tradition in the sport. Former Great Britain javelin thrower Mick Hill has come on board to provide Ennis with extra coaching. 'He's fantastic. He's so enthusiastic, he can't help himself picking it up and having a throw when I'm training.' But despite the critical popular view, Minichiello insists that javelin is not his main concern for Ennis.
'Jessica's throws are considered her main weakness,' he says, 'but throws take a long time to develop in someone who isn't a natural thrower. Year on year Jessica's throws have moved on.' Instead Minichiello wants Ennis to develop her long jump in the vein of her high jump. 'With her speed and natural jumping ability she has underachieved in this event. A consistent performance in the region of 6.50m is required to really challenge for medals in heptathlon.'
If Ennis can jump long as well as she can high, she will be sitting pretty. At the Commonwealth Games last year she jumped 1.91m. Had she competed in the individual high jump, it would have been enough to take the gold medal.
Next weekend Ennis will compete at the European Cup Combined Events in Poland as part of her preparation in the run-up to the World Championships in Osaka in August. Since asking for Hill's autograph as a kid at a Sheffield meet it has been her dream to compete in such an event. 'Osaka is going to be amazing,' she says, flushed at the thought, 'I'm really looking forward to it. I want to be prepared and fresh, so I'm getting all the work in and training hard to be really ready for it. I can't wait.'
Hopping off her stool with a grin, Ennis is decidedly and determinedly un-tadpole.

Svengali (musical)
Production logo
|Frank Wildhorn
|Gregory Boyd
|Gregory Boyd
|Trilby by George du Maurier
|1991 Houston, Texas
1991 Sarasota, Florida
Svengali is a musical with a book and lyrics by Gregory Boyd and music by Frank Wildhorn. It is based on the 1894 novel Trilby by George du Maurier.
The title character in this Gothic tale is a vocal coach who uses hypnotism to transform the tone-deaf Trilby into an acclaimed singer and steals her away from Little Billie, a sculptor for whom she has posed. At first the girl can remember nothing about her past, but as her memory slowly returns, she attempts to break free from her possessive mentor.
The musical has been staged twice, both times with Chuck Wagner as Svengali and Linda Eder (Wildhorn's then future, now ex-wife) as Trilby. It premiered at the Alley Theatre in Houston, Texas in April 1991 and won the Alton Jones Foundation Award for New American Musicals. It was then produced at the Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota, Florida in October 1991 through November 2, 1991.
The director was Gregory Boyd. The scenic design by Jerome Sirlin used a bank of slide projectors, creating "enigmatic images against the backdrop of the stage: the pensive face of a young woman, gargoyles, a cafe scene, brilliant color fields of red, blue, green and gold." The costumes were by Jane Suttell and lighting by Howell Binkley. The cast featured Philip Hoffman, Molly Scott as Zou Zou.[1]
Of it Wildhorn has said, "It was great working on it and I hope it will have its day." [2]
Although a complete cast album has not been released, three of the show's songs have been recorded. Danny de Munk and Vera Mann dueted on "So Slowly" for his CD Danny, and Eder included "If He Never Said Hello" and "Vole Mon Ange" on her 2003 release Storybook.

In MySQL NDB Cluster 7.5.2 and later, the table comment in a
CREATE TABLE or
TABLE statement can also be used to specify an
NDB_TABLE option, which consists of one or
more name-value pairs, separated by commas if need be, following
the string
NDB_TABLE=. Complete syntax for
names and values syntax is shown here:
ndb_table_option: NOLOGGING={1|0} | READ_BACKUP={1|0} | PARTITION_BALANCE={FOR_RP_BY_NODE|FOR_RA_BY_NODE|FOR_RP_BY_LDM|FOR_RA_BY_LDM} | FULLY_REPLICATED={1|0}
Spaces are not permitted within the quoted string. The string is case-insensitive.
The four
NDB table options that can be set as
part of a comment in this way are described in more detail in
the next few paragraphs.
NOLOGGING: Using 1 corresponds to having
ndb_table_no_logging enabled,
but has no actual effect. Provided as a placeholder, mostly for
completeness of
READ_BACKUP: Setting this option to 1 has the
same effect as though
ndb_read_backup were enabled;
enables reading from any replica. Starting with MySQL NDB
Cluster 7.5.3, you can set
READ_BACKUP for an
existing table online (Bug #80858, Bug #23001617), using an
ALTER TABLE statement similar to one of those
shown here:
Prior to MySQL NDB Cluster 7.5.4, setting
READ_BACKUP to 1 also caused
FRAGMENT_COUNT_TYPE to be set to
For more information about the
option for
ALTER TABLE, see
Section 220.127.116.11, "ALTER TABLE Online Operations in NDB Cluster".
PARTITION_BALANCE: Provides additional
control over assignment and placement of partitions. The
following four schemes are supported:
FOR_RP_BY_NODE: One partition per node.
Only one LDM on each node stores a primary partition. Each partition is stored in the same LDM (same ID) on all nodes.
FOR_RA_BY_NODE: One partition per node group.
Each node stores a single partition, which can be either a primary replica or a backup replica. Each partition is stored in the same LDM on all nodes.
FOR_RP_BY_LDM: One partition for each LDM on each node; the default.
This is the same behavior as prior to MySQL NDB Cluster 7.5.2, except for a slightly different mapping of partitions to LDMs, starting with LDM 0 and placing one partition per node group, then moving on to the next LDM.
In MySQL NDB Cluster 7.5.4 and later, this is the setting used if
READ_BACKUPis set to 1. (Bug #82634, Bug #24482114)
FOR_RA_BY_LDM: One partition per LDM in each node group.
These partitions can be primary or backup partitions.
Prior to MySQL NDB Cluster 7.5.4, this is the setting used if
READ_BACKUPis set to 1.
Prior to MySQL NDB Cluster 7.5.4,
PARTITION_BALANCE was named
FRAGMENT_COUNT_TYPE, and accepted as its
value one of (in the same order as that of the listing just
ONE_PER_LDM_PER_NODE, or
ONE_PER_LDM_PER_NODE_GROUP. (Bug #81761, Bug
FULLY_REPLICATED controls whether the table
is fully replicated, that is, whether each data node has a
complete copy of the table. To enable full replication of the
table, use
FULLY_REPLICATED=1. You must also
set (or have already set) the table's
PARTITION_BALANCE to either one of
FOR_RA_BY_NODE or
FOR_RA_BY_LDM in order for this to work.
This setting can also be controlled using the
ndb_fully_replicated system variable. Setting
it to
ON enables the option by default for
all new
NDB tables; the default is
OFF, which maintains the previous behavior
(as in MySQL NDB Cluster 7.5.1 and earlier, before support for
fully replicated tables was introduced). The
ndb_data_node_neighbour system
variable is also used for fully replicated tables, to ensure
that when a fully replicated table is accessed, we access the
data node which is local to this MySQL Server.
An example of a
CREATE TABLE statement using
such a comment when creating an
NDB table is
shown here:
CREATE TABLE t1 (>
c1 INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,>
c2 VARCHAR(100),>
c3 VARCHAR(100) )>
The comment is displayed as part of the ouput of
SHOW CREATE TABLE. The text of
the comment is also available from querying the MySQL
Information Schema
TABLES table, as
in this example:
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME="t1";+------------+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | TABLE_NAME | TABLE_SCHEMA | TABLE_COMMENT | +------------+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | t1 | c | NDB_TABLE=READ_BACKUP=0,PARTITION_BALANCE=FOR_RP_BY_NODE | | t1 | d | | +------------+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
This comment syntax is also supported with
ALTER TABLE statements for
NDB tables. Keep in mind that a table comment
used with
ALTER TABLE replaces any existing
comment which the table might have.
ALTER TABLE t1 COMMENT="NDB_TABLE=PARTITION_BALANCE=FOR_RA_BY_NODE";Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.40 sec) Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql>
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME="t1";+------------+--------------+--------------------------------------------------+ | TABLE_NAME | TABLE_SCHEMA | TABLE_COMMENT | +------------+--------------+--------------------------------------------------+ | t1 | c | NDB_TABLE=PARTITION_BALANCE=FOR_RA_BY_NODE | | t1 | d | | +------------+--------------+--------------------------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.01 sec)
You can also see the value of the
PARTITION_BALANCE option in the output of
ndb_desc. ndb_desc also
shows whether the
READ_BACKUP and
FULLY_REPLICATED options are set for the
table. See the description of this program for more information.
Because the
READ_BACKUP value was not carried
over to the new comment set by the
TABLE statement, there is no longer a way using SQL to
retrieve the value previously set for it. To keep this from
happening, it is suggested that you preserve any such values
from the existing comment string, like this:
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME="t1";+------------+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | TABLE_NAME | TABLE_SCHEMA | TABLE_COMMENT | +------------+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | t1 | c | NDB_TABLE=READ_BACKUP=0,PARTITION_BALANCE=FOR_RP_BY_NODE | | t1 | d | | +------------+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql>
ALTER TABLE t1 COMMENT="NDB_TABLE=READ_BACKUP=0,PARTITION_BALANCE=FOR_RA_BY_NODE";Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.56 sec) Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql>
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME="t1";+------------+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | TABLE_NAME | TABLE_SCHEMA | TABLE_COMMENT | +------------+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | t1 | c | NDB_TABLE=READ_BACKUP=0,PARTITION_BALANCE=FOR_RA_BY_NODE | | t1 | d | | +------------+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.01 sec)

In the present economic climate as the price of even minor things is raising the second hand office furniture has been demanded by many. The only reason to used office furniture is that it is affordable and mostly you will have it in such a great condition that no one will be able to differentiate whether it is used or old.
Before buying the used office furniture manchester, you must consider the things that are required in your office so you can save from spending on useless items. In the same way, you also have to consider the type of second hand office furniture as what material will be suitable for which type room.

For the employee office, there should be proper cabinets, office chairs, and desks. In the same way, you should never forget the reception furniture. Buy second hand office furniture according to the nature of your business so that it will give a professional look.

Making their debut on the Extreme Sailing Series 2012 circuit is the culmination of a year-long journey for the Danish entry. The co-skippers and crew have set an ambitious goal for themselves to become one of the top teams on the water.
By seating the public near the action with Stadium Sailing, the creators of the Extreme Sailing Series have set new standards, both in terms of the high level of competition and sporting entertainment. In this environment, fans of the sport experience the heat of the battle on the water in close proximity to the crews who are racing side-by-side close to shore.
Their Danish team's sponsor, SAP, the market and technology leader in business management software, enables the company to play a major role at the forefront of promoting sailing on an international level. The SAP Extreme Sailing Team is the only team on the Extreme Sailing circuit to feature co-skippers. With Jes Gram-Hansen (helm) and Rasmus Kostner (tactician) taking joint control, the two are joined by Jonas Hvid-Neilsen on the bow alongside fellow Dane Mikkel Rossberg and British sailor Pete Cumming.
As a team, the crew can list America's Cup wins, a host of world championship titles and four Atlantic crossings among their combined accomplishments.
The coming three seasons, the SAP Extreme Sailing Team will work in cooperation with the Sail Racing Test Team in product development, to assist in the research and testing phases for designing garments with functions and details that will be incorporated into the sailing gear of tomorrow.

|joining two large files in hadoop
|Sat, 04 Apr 2009 21:11:32 GMT
Hello all, I need to do some calculations that has to merge two sets of very large data (basically calculate variance). One set contains a set of "means" and the second a set of objects tied to a mean. Normally I would send the set of means using the distributed cache, but the set has become too large to keep in memory and it is going to grow in the future. I would like to join the two data files so that each mapper gets the entries of both files with the same keys. I have seen there is a CompositeInputFormat but there is no real documentation on it. Can anyone enlighten me on whether it would be useful and how it works. Cheers, Christian

Marxism Explained in 2 Minutes (VIDEO)
One has to pay a fee to see the Marx memorial. No kidding.
In another life I read a good bit of Marx. What's interesting to me is the number of "Marxists" (they do still exist) who appear to have never read a word written by the man.

BRUSSELS, Belgium The silver and bronze medalists from Belarus in the men's hammer throw at the Beijing Olympics were caught doping and could be stripped of their medals.
Vadim Devyatovskiy and Ivan Tsikhan are still being investigated for doping offenses at the games by the International Olympic Committee.
"Listen, they were tested and it was positive. They were tested for the 'A' and 'B' sample," Lamine Diack, president of track and field's governing body, told The Associated Press on Friday.
The substance was testosterone, said another IAAF official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the IOC investigation was still ongoing.
The Belarus Athletics Federation said Devyatovskiy and Tsikhan deny the accusations.
"For the IAAF it is clear. It will be a suspension," Diack said at the end of the Golden League competition in Brussels. "Now it goes to the level of the IOC, but for us it is clear."
The IOC is expected to rule on the case this month. If it follows the IAAF conclusions, it would make for the biggest doping scandal at the track competition in Beijing. The two Belarusians would become the second and third track and field medalists to be stripped of their medals.
Devyatovskiy's silver would go to Krisztian Pars of Hungary, while Tsikhan's bronze would go to Koji Murofushi of Japan. Primoz Kozmus of Slovenia won the gold medal.
During the games, Ukrainian heptathlete Lyudmila Blonska was disqualified and had to give up her silver medal for testing positive. She was given a life ban since it was her second doping offense.

Our Little Kids program offers young children an opportunity to try out the world of theater. Students will build self-confidence, learn how to use their imagination and creativity to tell stories, and explore the arts through dramatic play.

Students in our Skills & Craft workshops dig a little deeper into fundamental artistic skills such as using tools and materials imaginatively or learning how to take creative risks. Our workshops are welcoming and supportive to kids with all levels of experience, whether it's their first time in a theater class or they've been singing and dancing all their young life!

RT's reporter in Cairo said,
at the same time, there is a tense situation along the borders of Egypt. The north and the south of Sinai as well as the Suez is in a state of high alert. There the police are receiving reinforcements earlier in the day Islamists there attacked a local airport. We're also hearing reports that Egypt has closed its border with Gaza. Now there has been a number of instances recently in that vicinity. So what we're witnessing is not only an internal division; what we're witnessing is not only internal threats, but we're also witnessing threats coming from the borders.

Decorating Your Tree (4 of 6) by Roger Thomas
This content is part of a series.Decorating Your Tree (4 of 6)
Series: Romans 12 - The Christian's Job Description
Roger Thomas
Romans 12:9-13
You will probably call me ''Ebeneezer'' as in ''bah humbug Scrooge'' but I have to confess I really don't like decorating a Christmas tree. I am not sure why. Maybe I just don't have much of an eye for that sort of thing. Maybe I don't have the patience for laying every piece of tinsel on each branch just right. Maybe a tree fell on me when I was two years old or something forever traumatizing me about Christmas trees. Who knows?
Or maybe it's those experiences with Christmas trees when we were first married that warped my perspective. Our first tree was about two foot tall and decorated with paper cups covered in aluminum foil-because that was all we could afford. Probably more than we could afford. A few years later when we lived in Missouri the first time, we would take two little ones and trudge through the hills near our Rolla home to cut our own tree. You have probably done that.
We would start on what might otherwise be a beautiful walk in the woods. But after about two hours looking for a tree that isn't lopsided or full of holes, the trek becomes work. Finally, I would give in and cut down the next half way decent specimen. Cut wasn't exactly the right word. It was more like rubbing it down with my very dull saw. Once the tree toppled with the kids yelling ''Timber!!'' in the background, I would drag it three miles back to the car, lash it on top with duct tape and bungee cords, carefully drive home, carry it into the house, knocking lamps off tables and pictures from the wall as I went. Finally near the destination too little too late I would try to fit it into the tree stand. Only to discover that the six inch trunk of a naturally growing tree was never meant for a three inch three stand. Back out to the garage and to try to whittle three inches off the truck with the same dull saw. This time I would fit the stand before taking the t ...

In his keynote address to the GMIC 2012 on Friday, Shawn DuBravoc, the Consumer Electronics Association's chief economist, said that we have entered a second-generation, digital threshold.
The last decade, he said, was the first digital decade, when the use of digital devices and the internet exploded. Now, he said, tech companies are leveraging broadband, portability, and cloud-based data services to take digital devices to the next level.
Consumers will spend $1 trillion on tech devices in 2012, according to the Consumer Electronics Association. By 2015, the association expects smartphone sales to reach one billion units, and the e-reader market to grow to 50 million devices sold.
The future of smart media is married with sensorization, DuBravoc said. Handheld devices will have multiple microphones, cameras, proximity sensors and pressure gauges, capable of recording and beaming to a cloud service advanced data.
This data, he said, is ultimately trillions of bits of information that will drive the industry in the years to come.
"The second digital era is defined by information," DuBravoc said. Adding that he believes next-generation devices will evolve into simpler, more natural platforms with sensor-based controls and streamlined services.

Rohtak (Haryana), Nov.27 (ANI): Haryana Education Minister Geeta Bhukkal said here on Saturday women's empowerment was needed in the State to stop female foeticide since the State's sex ratio has dipped to 808 females for every 1,000 males.
The national sex ratio is 933 females for every 1,000 males.
"In Haryana, it is very necessary to impart the awareness about decreasing sex ratio. There are some genetic problems also and the government is very worried about this, and regarding this we celebrated Girl Day with Bhupinder Singh Hooda Haryana Chief Minister as the chief guest. We have programmes for the same and hope that there would be improvement in the scenario," said Bhukkal.
The State's Chief Medical Officer V. K. Govila said they have cracked down on clinics offering the service of pre-natal sex determination.
"We are trying to revive the Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act (PNTD Act), raids are being made more effective. We have also cancelled one ultrasound centre and have given notices to two other centers. We have debarred the operator's of the ultrasound clinics," said Govila.
"In Rohtak, currently there are 808 girls for 1000 boys," he added. By Dhirendra Kumar (ANI)

Pinnath Gelin
this wiki
The Pinnath Gelin or Green Hills was a green and fertile hilled country in western Gondor between the river, parts of the White Mountains and Anfalas.[1]
People lived in the lower hills but the area was sparsely populated.
The climate hovered near the moderate and the extreme with mild winters and hot, dry summers and the terrain consisted of scattered woodlands on a hilly area.[2][3]
At the time of the War of the Ring, Hirluin the Fair was either a lord of that region of Gondor or apparently a figure of authority there. As Pinnath Gelin was a loyal province of Gondor, Hirluin came with some 300 well-armed men marched to the aid of Minas Tirith during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. Hirluin was killed by Orcs during the ensuing battle.[4]

Chapter 3Mature
I awoke at six o'clock the next morning. I gathered my things and left the tavern. However, I didn't get very far without being stopped however.
"That's him!" I heard a voice say behind me. Turning around, I saw the woman from the tavern the night before, with two Templars on either side of her.
"He's a blood mage, I swear it! He controlled the minds of some folk who came into the tavern!"
"As I recall," I began. "Those men would have made off with your valuables if I had not convinced them otherwise."
"Maybe so," the Templar said. "But you are still a maleficar. We've even received word that you've murdered several Templars. You must face justice."
"Oh how ironic," I said. "Men who know nothing of justice claiming that they can deliver it. It's a bit like the proprietor of a brothel advocating chastity."
Not giving any thought to what I said, the Templars advanced towards me. Drawing my staff, I cast a spell, flinging them twenty feet backwards. My attention was drawn to the woman, whom I just noticed was wearing a Chantry robe.
"Oh, so you're a sister," I said. "That explains everything."
"I beg your pardon!" she said.
"You're cloistered, meaning you're not allowed to be satisfied by a man, so you take out your frustration on mages, like myself, in order to try and make yourself feel better about some ridiculous vow."
"How dare you!" she said. "If the Maker were here, he would strike you down where you stand!" A Chantry stood not far off behind her. I walked past her, focusing my gaze on it. I could hear the Chant coming from inside; more gospel being preached by the heretics. I formed a fireball in my hand, then looked at the woman.
"Here's what I think of your Maker," I said to her. I hurled the fireball towards the bell tower of the Chantry. I hit my mark, and the tower exploded, engulfing in flames. People were screaming all around.
Ignoring what was going on around me, I simply walked away from the village, and continued my journey.

A study of cervical cancer incidence and mortality in North Carolina has revealed areas where rates are unusually high.
The findings indicate that education, screening, and vaccination programs in those places could be particularly useful, according to public health researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who authored the report.
"In general the rates of incidence and mortality in North Carolina are consistent with national averages," said Jennifer S. Smith, Ph.D., associate professor of epidemiology at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health and an author of the study published recently online in the journal Preventive Medicine. "However we do see pockets where the rates are among the highest for any of the 50 states. These are the areas where we need to focus our efforts to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, this highly preventable disease."
Smith, a member of the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, is director of the Cervical Cancer-Free America initiative, which is guiding states to develop cervical cancer prevention programs aimed at eliminating cervical cancer through education, vaccination, screening and early treatment.
UNC researchers examined data from the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry on all cervical cancer cases reported in the state from 1998 to 2007. In total, there were 3,652 cases of invasive cervical cancer and 1,208 deaths in that period. The study found cervical cancer incidence and death rates varied greatly by county, with less affluent counties having higher rates. While most cases and deaths were among white women (65 percent and 64 percent, respectively), Hispanic women had the highest incidence rate (18.3 cases per 100,000 women). The rates for African American and white females were 10.6 cases per 100,000 women and 7.3 cases per 100,000 women, respectively.
A greater proportion of African American women died from cervical cancer than other races. The mortality rate was 4.5 deaths per 100,000 women, compared to 2.2 deaths per 100,000 white women and 2.0 deaths per 100,000 Hispanic women.
Results also showed:
"This in-depth, registry-based assessment provides us with a clearer picture of which women in North Carolina are being diagnosed with cervical cancer, and it identifies gaps in our state's cervical cancer prevention health network," Smith said. "The cancer registry data will help us, as a state, initiate targeted and appropriate interventions. It's an important step toward eradicating cervical cancer in North Carolina. The analysis also can serve as a model for other states as they bolster the efforts to reduce or end this cancer across the nation."
Other authors included Sheri Denslow, Ph.D., UNC epidemiology alumna; Gabriel Knop, statistician, Christian Klaus, spatial analyst, and Chandrika Rao, Ph.D., director, all with the N.C. Cancer Registry; and Noel Brewer, Ph.D., associate professor of health behavior and health education at the UNC public health school. Brewer also is a member of the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and is director of Cervical Cancer-Free NC, a UNC-led group that is forming coalitions to foster cervical cancer prevention practice activities and research.

My boyfriend and I along with two other couples stood in the Skyline 2 home as a weekend trip from NY. It was important to us to be together and enjoy ourselves as a group. This house did exactly that. The kitchen was big the bathroom was also spacious and clean however the toilet had some clogging issues. The dining room and living room were nicely furnished and spacious. The basement was great; it had a washer dryer ironig board and iron and detergent too. These small features really make you feel like it's your own home. Upstairs were the three bedrooms. They're were nicely furnished as well however I felt they were too close together. This home would be great for families. It was located minutes away from the Niagara Falls attraction which was extremely convienient for us since we were not familiar with the area. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and would def revisit.
Lovely place very close to downtown. Would rent again!
Excellent location and roomy. Beds are not comfortable but everything else was good.
Close to all the main attractions. Nice cozy home. Well kept and clean.
Traveled with family and we had a very nice time.
The location is indeed great, many attractions are in walking distance. The furniture was new, but there were some points, we did not like. Several windows could´t be locked or even closed.
The kitchen was huge, but the kitchen supplies were hardly enough for 4 people.
The most important point, though, it is not a detached house. There are 2 apartments in the house and e.g. the terrace of the other apartment was right under 2 bedrooms and the living-room, which was very disturbing. We would not have rented the house, if this was mentioned in the description.
All in all we were rather disappointed. Our expectations were much higher concerning the description.
Outstanding natural walking, cycling, bird watching, running paths. Ask about our local wildlife sanctuaries. Outdoor events, attractions, festivals are year round. Award winning wineries and fantastic outlet shopping. There's plenty to see and do and leave you wanting to come back for more.

The Adrenal Glands and the Thyroid: Partners in Health
Learn about how the thyrod and adrenal hormones work together to give you energy and good health., As I have discussed before, some patients with hypothyroidism do not regain their energy even when they are taking natural thyroid. I was puzzled by this phenomenon until I learned about Dr. Barnes's use of natural cortisol and read Dr. Jefferies' book Safe Uses of Cortisol. Dr. Jefferies had found that adrenal fatigue often occurs in conjunction with hypothyroidism, and that, in the absence of adequate cortisol, thyroid hormone replacement was less effective.
The reason is that when the adrenal glands are weak, even normal thyroid activity is a burden. Adding supplemental thyroid hormone may result in initial improvement in energy levels and other symptoms, but as the adrenal glands become more exhausted, energy production is shut down. The solution is not more thyroid hormone. What is called for is adrenal support with small doses of cortisol.
In my experience, as well as that of Drs. Jefferies and Barnes, low-dose cortisol can make a tremendous difference in the energy and well-being of patients with hypothyroidism. Not only does it improve energy, raise body temperature, and increase resistance to infection, it also helps the body utilize thyroid hormone. Natural cortisol is especially helpful for patients with autoimmune thyroiditis, an extremely common cause of hypothyroidism that I discussed in chapter 6. Like other autoimmune conditions, autoimmune thyroiditis can develop when the adrenal glands are stressed, especially following pregnancy or at menopause. As documented in Dr. Jefferies' book, natural cortisol actually reduces levels of thyroid antibodies, enhancing the effectiveness of thyroid hormone.
