JUNIOR Ciaran Matthews claimed Sandburn Hall Golf Club's inaugural Order of Merit title.
He came out on top following a three-day final at Formosa Park, in Portugal, where ten players, who had qualified from a season long competition of medals and tournaments at the Flaxton course, met to do battle.
They played rounds at Pinheiros Altos and San Lorenzo and Matthews shot stableford scores of 37, 37 and 36. With the ten players being given points based on their Order of Merit rankings following the end of the season, and with them awarded further points based on their finishing position after each Portugeuse round, Matthews came out on top with a score of 34.
It was the latest accolade for the youngster, whose handicap has tumbled over the last couple of years.
Andy Whitwam was runner-up to Matthews, with Ben Singleton third.
Matthews, Singleton and Chris Klays were all juniors who made the trip supervised by the club's new junior organiser Rich Matthews.
The top ten who travelled to Portugal were Adrian Whiteley, Rich Newby, Eddie Thomas, Eddie Hicks, Steve Iveson, Matthews, Singleton, Heath, Klays and Whitwam.

Army / World War II – Germany
11 April 1945 — Germany
Army / World War II – Germany. Company "D" 774th Tank Battalion Shell backfired while he was in a tank. Shell hit a fire extinguisher inside the tank and blew up which blinded JT for 52 days. Lost section of elbow, only had skin keeping upper and lower arm attached. His arm was stuck to where he couldn't get out of the tank. He asked another solider to just cut the skin, which would have lost him his arm, in order to get him out. The situation was pretty bad around him. But the soldier finally got him out without having to do this. He was put onto a jeep to be taken towards the back lines. During the ride, JT got shot in the back of the neck with the exit wound being in his shoulder. As he arrived back at the hospital, another German shot JT in the leg. JT was given a gun and was told to just shot straight ahead, although he couldn't see, he was told he had killed the German. Was in the hospital in San Franciso, California for over a year.

When Tyler was just 1 month old, he was diagnosed with vesicoureteral reflux, a condition where urine that dwells in the bladder flows back into the ureters and often back into the kidneys. His condition left him with two scarred kidneys and in need of a kidney transplant.
For most of his childhood, Tyler lived a lifestyle that included taking lots of medications, drinking lots of water and avoiding full contact sports. At the age of 9, he received his kidney from his stepfather, Ken.
"We were quite fortunate," said Tyler's mom, Mary. "Children's has been wonderful."
Today, Tyler is an active teen who aspires to be a pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. Thanks in part to the gift from his stepfather and the great care he received at Children's Hospital, Tyler's back on the field.
Max was first admitted to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin March 13, 2003 because he was dehydrated and doctors thought he might have pneumonia. His condition got worse over night, requiring doctors to remove fluid from his right lung the next morning.
During the procedure, doctors discovered Max's blood wasn't clotting. A team of critical care doctors worked to stabilize Max before telling his family they had only two more hours to find a solution before he would bleed to death. Max's likelihood of survival was only 5 percent.
Miraculously, doctors were able to stabilize Max providing him with a 50 percent chance of survival and a long struggle that included 78 days in the hospital. In addition to suffering brain damage similar to a stroke and having the tips of nine fingers and six toes amputated, Max's kidneys never recovered. He received kidney dialysis for 10 hours each night until a kidney donor, his father's cousin, was found many months later.
Today, Max is on his way to a full recovery. He is busy fourth-grader who swims, skates, plays the drums and hits the golf course on a regular basis.
"There is no question that without Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Max would not be with us today," said Max's mom, Cecilia. "They have the finest doctors, know the latest techniques and have the finest equipment in the country."

About the Capitan Collection
These items were created to salute the captain in every man. A "captain" is defined as a leader, a person who takes charge. He is the one who protects, who enters the unknown first for the benefit of crew or clan and does so with dedication and love. This is men's jewelry that celebrates the most important elements in a man's life: Loyalty, Beauty, Wisdom, Honor, Family, Hope, Strength and Love.
The inspiration for my designs came from ancient Japanese Samurai swords maker, Unno Moritoshi. Years ago, I saw an exhibit of such artifacts at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. I was moved by the strength, love and dedication it took to create these instruments. So much artistry was required to decorate these swords--swords of honor yet also weapons of war and death--with delicately inlaid symbols. Today, each item in The Capitan Collection contains small elements and talismans that are forged, like the ancient swords that came before them, into deeply oxidized Sterling silver and 14k yellow gold.
With each item, a legend is told and unfolds. And yet, like most good tales, the story of a man's life continues as the Universe moves forward. This is the never-ending story, the beauty of Life in all its mysteries. This is what I give you with The Capitan Collection.
Video Tour of the Capitan Collection
For over 100 years, Imperial has been the country's leading expert in pearls and a leading designer of pearl jewelry. Our three generations of pearl experts travel the world hand selecting rare pearls directly at the source, ensuring we have first pick of annual pearl harvests before they are even available to other companies. The fact that we are the largest independent pearl company in America allows us to leverage our unprecedented buying power to secure lots of pearls at quality levels others simply can't obtain.
From Golden-Age of Cinematic star Loretta Young to Rita Hayworth to Elizabeth Taylor to First Lady Nancy Reagan, Imperial Pearls have been the choice for discriminating fashionistas since the 1900's. Over our decades in the business, we have established strong personal relationships with pearl farmers throughout the world while remaining industry leaders in jewelry design and craftsmanship.

90% of pearls sold do not meet Imperial's Standards!
The simple truth is that most pearl retailers can't even obtain pearls of the quality we insist on as a minimum.
Their so-called "AAA" may be the best of what they've got, but Imperial's 100 years of relationships with pearl farmers and dealers mean we've already taken the best of the harvest - so even our A-Quality pearls outshine most folks "AAA"... And our AA- and AAA-Quality levels represent pearls of a quality they generally can't even obtain.
From short choker pearls to pearls that wrap around and around and around....
Pearl necklaces come in five basic lengths: Choker, Princess, Matinee, Opera and Rope. You may have heard of some of the names but probably have no idea how long each is and, more importantly, how it sits on the neck and below.
Choker - 16 in
The pearl choker is the shortest length circling the neck. While a pearl choker can be worn with almost any neckline and looks great with every style, from casual to formal, make sure it doesn't swallow the neck. Pearl chokers draw attention to the neck but if you have a particularly short or long neck, the attention should be drawn away from the neck to the shoulder line or below. As such, stay away from chokers. For everyone else, a choker is great classic, suitable for every occasion.
Princess - 18 in
A princess strand falls slightly below the neckline and compliments every neck-style from high to low. It's great for office-wear as its length sits just above a blouse neckline and won't be hidden like longer lengths.
Matinee - 24 in
The Matinee strand is most popular for formal occasions and is the perfect length for any little black dress event. It's also the best length for those who are well endowed in the chest region as it highlights the neck and shoulders finishing just above the cleavage.
Opera - 32 in
Falling just below the bustline, the Opera strand is great for eveningwear and compliments every body shape. For less formal occasions, it can be doubled over and worn as a twin choker ? a true day into night piece.
Rope - 46 in
If it's versatility you're after, then a pearl rope is the style for you. By itself the strand generally falls somewhere around the waistline and is perfect for those that like to stand out from the crowd. Its length means you can play with styles from triple, or quadruple rows of a choker, to doubling it as Princess and Opera style together. Or try simply knotting it for a chic look that's perfect with everything from jeans and a tee shirt to an elegant evening gown.

Holiday season a heightened time for family disputes
Saturday, Jan 04, 2014 06:00 am
The holiday season is always a busy time for the St. Albert RCMP as officers deal with more issues related to alcohol consumption and family disputes, said Cpl. Laurel Kading.
Between the early morning of Dec. 31 until midnight of Jan 1, the local RCMP detachment received 52 calls from local residents.
Seven of the calls were related to collisions, while two were on impaired drivers, and one about a gas-and-dash from a city gas station. Many of the other calls were related to arguments, she said.
�The evenings were fairly busy, the day times were fairly quiet,� Kading said. �Our problems were typically alcohol related and that tends to flare up after people have had more to drink at night.�
Compared to other years, it was a fairly regular New Year�s night, she said.
In 2012, the RCMP received 56 calls from residents between midnight of Dec. 31 and Jan. 1, she said, and 60 calls in 2011.
New Year�s Eve also tends to be busier than the days on and around Christmas, she added, as people tend to celebrate the two holidays very differently. While New Year's Eve sees more issues with alcohol, Christmas tends to be a heightened time for disputes over child custody.
�It�s just a really difficult time I think for families that are having to share children and have custody arrangements,� she said. �It can be a time where we may be called up for advice or to make sure that one parent is honouring their agreement.�
The number of calls received during the holiday season is on par with other busy nights of the year.
On a regular Friday night in July, the RCMP can get anywhere between 70 and 90 calls, while a Friday in January may only see about 40 calls. Complaints at these times are more often regarding issues with theft and mischief, such as loud music or illegal trespassing, Kading said.
While about half a dozen people remained in the detachment�s holding cells overnight on New Year�s Eve, only two charges were laid for impaired driving. The main concern for the RCMP that night is to be out on the road and be visible, Kading said.
�Making sure we are looking at traffic stops and that we are encouraging people to find safe ways home,� she said.

Larry H. Miller Dealerships Announces
Avondale Store Acquisitions
Three additions further solidify group's commitment
to Valley community.
PHOENIX (April 1, 2013)- Larry H. Miller Dealerships has announced the acquisition of three Avondale stores: Avondale Chrysler, Jeep; Avondale Dodge, Ram; and Avondale Fiat, bringing the group's commitment to providing increased options to customers in the Greater Phoenix Area to nine locations. The acquisition is by far the largest in the company's history, further affirming the group's dedication to the Arizona market and its communities.
"Larry H. Miller Dealerships has been an active member of this community for more than 30 years," said Dean Fitzpatrick, president. "In addition to providing our guests with options to suit various price points and style, we are also committed to giving back to the community by assisting local nonprofit organizations. The addition of these dealership locations will expand our footprint in the Avondale area and allow us to provide even more support."
The dealerships were purchased from two partners; John Grant and Doug Moreland.
Larry H. Miller Dealerships opened its first Valley location, Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria, in 1980. The automotive group added a Dodge dealership to the site in 1995 and Hyundai in 2000. Larry H. Miller Volkswagen was opened in 2004 in Avondale, and its Nissan dealership was opened in Scottsdale in 2006, and then moved to Mesa in 2008. As well, the group opened a brand new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram dealership in Surprise in late 2012.
Larry H. Miller Dealerships will retain the existing employees of the three newly-acquired dealerships bringing the total number of Arizona-based personnel to more than 1,000. These employees are located throughout the state with nine stores in the Valley and an additional four that were also acquired from Moreland and Grant in Tucson.
"An important part of the purchase value of these dealerships is the employees," stated Fitzpatrick. "We are impressed with the corporate culture at these stores and the high-caliber, experienced people who work there. We feel that they will be a great fit for our organization."
John Grant added, "It is always a difficult decision to make when selling our dealerships to a new group. It is important to both me and Doug that we select a company that values its customers and employees. Our decision was made easier knowing how Larry H. Miller Dealerships conducts business and the benefits they offer their workers."
Outside of the latest acquisition, Larry H. Miller Dealerships currently operates six stores in the Phoenix market; three of which are part of a $30 million West Valley reconstruction project. The Larry H. Miller Toyota, Hyundai and Dodge Ram stores on Bell Road in Peoria are anticipated for completion in summer 2013.
Larry H. Miller Dealerships has a strong legacy of giving back to communities where they do business. Through its charitable foundation, Larry H. Miller Charities, approximately $500,000 has been donated to nearly 150 qualified nonprofit organizations throughout the greater Phoenix area. Beneficiaries include the Phoenix Children's Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, The Maricopa Pediatric Foundation, Special Olympics Arizona, the Peoria School District Foundation and Sharing Down Syndrome Arizona.
With these new acquisitions, Larry H. Miller Dealerships will remain 10th on the Automotive News list of top 125 dealership groups in the country, now operating 19 different automotive brands at 55 locations in seven Western states. The company is privately owned by the Larry H. and Gail Miller family.

KATY - As children across the country return to school in the wake of the Newtown elementary school tragedy, some no longer feel a sense of safety.
Katy Independent School District officials took measures to reassure parents that it is doing everything in its power to protect their children. On Monday morning, the school district increased the number of police officers on and around campuses; the heightened security will last throughout the week.
"It makes me very happy that we have higher security around and we did get an email, though, saying they are just really hyping it up. They already do an excellent job here," parent Ashley Harkins said. "(My son) asked a few questions. I talked about it right when I picked him up on Friday, so he isn't too concerned about it. But he was really upset about it when it happened."
Monica Washington talked to her son about what to do if a shooter ever got on campus. It included the importance of taking drills seriously.
"I think it's very important that they get the kids prepared in case anything happens," Washington said.
Meanwhile, Katy ISD reminded campus staff of safety procedures, including keeping doors locked and questioning any suspicious people on campus.
School officials said upgraded security measures are already in place to help control access to the campus -- to make sure visitors cannot walk freely through the buildings.
HISD and other districts throughout southeast Texas require visitors to check in before they are allowed access to schools. Safety drills are also common.
"What we try to do is make sure those drills we conduct are drills of that nature that occurred in Connecticut, which is an active shooter drill," said Jimmy Dotson, HISD's police chief.
On Friday, Houston-area school districts released statements about their school security procedures. Click here to read those statements.

Semaphores in Linux
Pages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Once a semaphore is created, System V semaphores require that those semaphores that were created in a set be initialized. Creation and initialization of semaphore is not an atomic operation, and initialization needs to be done separately by the user. The function that does this is:
int semctl(int semid, int semnum, int cmd, ...);
- semid
- The semaphore identifier.
- semnum
- The n'th semaphore in the set identified by semid.
- cmd
- This defines the type of operation performed on the semaphore. For initialization purposes, the flag used is
SETVAL. For other values please refer to the man pages.
Depending on what the chosen "cmd" requires, a fourth argument could be also passed--type
union semun--but this is an optional argument. To use this structure, the user must explicitly define it as follows:
union semun { int val; struct semid_ds *buf; ushort *array; } arg;
The following code snippet sets the first semaphore of the set identified by the semaphore
semid to value 1.
{ semun init; init.val = 1; int i = semctl(semid, 1, SETVAL, init); }
Once a semaphore is created and initialized, the user is ready to perform operations on this set of semaphores. Again, the interface used for performing operations, like locking or unlocking of semaphores, is not straight-forward. It requires a certain amount of instructions to be written before calling the following function, which will carry out the desired operation on a semaphore.
int semop(int semid, struct sembuf *sops, size_t nsops);
- semid
- The semaphore identifier.
- sops
- Is a pointer to a user-defined array of semaphore structure. However, the documentation suggests that this structure shouldn't be extended. The structure is:
struct sembuf { ushort sem_num; /* identifies which semaphore in the set */ short sem_op; /* could be positive,negative or zero */ short sem_flg; /*coud be IPC_NOWAIT ,SEM_UNDO*/ };
- nsops
- Determines how many sembuf you are passing. The nsops argument is provided in case the operation needs to be performed on bunch of semaphores at one time.
NOTE: If the
SEM_UNDO flag is specified, the kernel resets the value of the semaphore by reversing all effects of previous operations when the program terminates.
sem_op member of struct sembuf is an important variable that locks and unlocks the semaphore. It can take the following values, which determines the kind of operation to be performed on the semaphore.
- If
sem_opis zero:
- Then it waits for the semaphore value to drop to zero.
- If
sem_opis positive value
- Then it increases the semaphore value by absolute
- If
sem_opis negative value
- Then it decreases the semaphore value by absolute
You can see from the above
sem_op values that positive values correspond to releasing a semaphore and negative values correspond to a locking semaphore. NOTE: The value of the semaphore never goes below zero.
The most important operation, after creating, initializing, and operating on semaphores, is the cleaning up the semaphores and their memories. This should happen in cleanup handlers or in destructors, while exiting out of code normally, or while exiting the application abnormally. If this is not done, then the application would, at some point, not find enough semaphores to work with because they are defined system-wide in System V-based implementations.
The following snippet cleans up a semaphore set identified by semid
{ int ret = semctl(semid,0,IPC_RMID); //removing the 0th semaphore in the set }

Weld-Blundell Prism: The Sumerian King-List: Who write it?
Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; number: AN1923.444
Who wrote it, when and where?
- It was written by an unnamed scribe in the city of Larsa in Babylonia about 1800BC.
- At that time, the language of scholars was still that of the Sumerian-speaking peoples, who had inhabited the region for thousands of years.
- However, the spoken language of the ordinary people of Larsa was Akkadian, which had superseded Sumerian in everyday life between 2300-2000BC.
- So far as we know, virtually all scribes at this time were male.

A FATHER-of-two has died four days after being assaulted in a Blackburn flat.
Thomas Hill, 32, was found unconscious and covered in blood by his aunt, Helen Blunton, at the property in Fielding Crescent on Tuesday.
He was taken to Royal Blackburn Hospital, then transferred to the Royal Preston Hospital.
Police – who have now launched a murder investigation into his death – said he died of his injuries on Saturday afternoon.
Mrs Blunton, 46, said: "I feel terrible. He loved my daughter Megan, who has Down's Syndrome. He was always taking her fishing and to the football."
His cousin Charlie Blunton, 20, said: "He always had a smile on his face and he loved dancing, he loved a party and he was a big Glasgow Rangers fan. He was like a big brother to me. I could talk to him about anything and he has always been there for me."
Cousin Bobby Blunton, 17, said: "He was just such a loving person."
It is understood his mother, father and sister, who all live in Glasgow, had travelled down to be at his bedside. Mr Hill also has a son and a daughter who live in Glasgow.
A police spokesman said: "Thomas Hill was taken to the Royal Blackburn Hospital on Tuesday morning before being transferred to the Royal Preston Hospital. Sadly, he died of his injuries on Saturday.
n Michael Cocker of Fielding Crescent, Blackburn has been charged with murder and will appear before Blackburn magistrates this morning.

I was prescribed 300 mg for high acid in urine, within 2 weeks I broke out with severe red rash and blisters, after reviewing the lab report, I should have been 100 mg. It has been 1 month since I stopped taking that medication and the blistering has stopped and the rash is slowly starting to go away. I am switching to taking 1/2 tsp of baking soda per day with more water. I have never had a gout attack and feel like I was misdiagnosed.
Started taking this after 2 bouts of gout. 1st bout was mild / moderate and then 2nd bout was a severe attack. I was prescribed Allopurinol 100mg once a day to help remove excess uric acid from my body and I was also prescribed Indomethacin 50mg capsules for pain as needed up to 3 times a day and between the 2 they are life savers. I highly recommend both
on a dose of 300 mg of Allopurinal as lower dose not effective. Tried several times this time taken for 6 months with side effects worsening.Serious side effects now.... rash, boils , ulcers in mouth, weight gain, impotence. GP slow to resoond.... stopping now to see what effect that has. Also on Steroids for Sarcoidosis and wondered if there was a drug interaction . No attacks of Gout for a while.... waiting to see if stopping the drug brings it back
I have been on 100 mg of this drug along with the colcrys for high uric acid. I do not think I have this condition as I think that it is related to the high blood pressure diaritic I am taking. But whatever. I have had diahrea since I started this drug. I hate it. Will talk to Dr. to stop this. It is awful, am tired along with the other side effects noted.
i ralize this is not a review of the drug-this is in fact the contents of one sachet of urals if anyone is desparate. Sodium Bicarbonate 1.76 grams which is 3/8 of a teaspoon Citric Acid powder 0.72 grams which is 1/8 of a teaspoon Tartaric Acid pwdr 0.89 grams which is 1/8++ teaspoon Sodium Citrate 0.63 grams which is 1/8+ teaspoon i could not find anywhere else to put the info
i am holidaying in cyprus from australia-this is my 3rd attack of gout in about 3 yrs.i did not bring my sachets of "URALS" with me as i assumed i could obtain them here. the urals stops the gout and clear´s it up in about 3 days. i normally take a small sachet once or maybe twice a week but have been a month of "partying" without. the allopurinol (300MG)has started working over the last 4 days and the pain is almost gone and swelling in toe joint nearly gone but still present. it would seem that the urals are a cure/preventitive and the allopurinol is just preventitive.
Was taking colcrys for a while which made me sick. Switched to allipurinol. Was getting attacks about one every 2 months for about 2 years. Since switching, have only had 1 attach in the past year.
Prescribed 100mg a day for gout pain and urate level fell but still suffered gout pains for about 5 months. When the dose was increased to 200mg a day I suffered from rashes, itches and very irritated eyelids. Have now gone 10 weeks without attack while taking 100mg a day. Keeping my fingers crossed. There is an alternative drug called "febuxostat".
If you have chronic gout.. with uric acid levels consistently in the double digits, allopurinol will quickly become your best friend.. well, ok, you can keep the dog. Allopurinol is so effective at lowering uric acid, that you may experience a few gout attacks when you first go on it.. each one becoming progressively milder. Gout is a real bug bear. You get the attack when your uric acid levels rise or fall suddenly in a lower pH (acidic) environment. The best first step is with diet. EAT ALKALIZING FOODS. You can google to find out which ones. I've been on daily 300mg allopurnol for 10 years. In that time, I've had virtually no attacks and uric acid levels in the 5-6 range. Allopurinol will raise your liver enzymes! I know this for a fact. I lowered to 100 mg daily and the ALT went down into high normal, but I got a few mild attacks after about four months, so I went back up to 300 mg and so did the ALT. So, be sure to get bi-annual Liver Panels done.

If you were ever on the old forums, you probably remember me and my annoying questions about getting CPU temp. Well I have a new question. I finally got a simple script going that uses WMI to get the current CPU temperature, but it doesn't seem to ever change. I am not sure if it is using a placeholder value or what. I got my code from here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3262603/accessing-cpu-temperature-in-python and the top script example does not work for me. However, the second one is where I get a value, but it doesn't change. I have loaded my computer up with a heavy task load (ie running multiple high graphics games) to try to raise the temperature, and it always stays at 3332. The value is supposedly in tenths of a kelvin, so converted that would read to be 60.2 celcius. Anyone have any idea why it gives me a value, but it doesn't change? Thanks!
PS one more note, I tried both of those scripts on my old computer a long time ago and neither of them worked. I am very confused.

"Thanks to a genuinely innovative partnership with Fujitsu that delivered equivalent innovation in technology and business processes, Mitchells & Butlers now has a robust and reliable platform on which to build its future"
Martin Taylor, Director for Business Change and Technology, Mitchells & Butlers
Mitchells & and Butlers is the UK's leading restaurant and pub operator with 1,600 sites, including well-known brands such as Harvester, Toby Carvery, Browns, O'Neill's and All Bar One. It employs 38,000 people and has annual sales of close to £2 billion.
Mitchells & Butlers is committed to delivering great service, quality and value for money for their guests. The scale of their operation is enormous – serving 130 million meals and 430 million drinks per annum.
As part of a three year technology journey, the company wanted to deploy flexible solutions that would help drive efficiencies in both internal back-office functions and guest-facing services, as well as create a platform to deliver new guest-focused services. At the same time, there was an expectation that the company could cut overall IT costs significantly, improve the agility of its IT and introduce a flexible model to manage the cost base in line with the size of the business.
"Our main objective was to maximise the efficiency potential of our business, particularly in the restaurants and bars where we serve guests," explains Martin Taylor, Director for Business Change and Technology, Mitchells & Butlers. "By replacing an outdated till-based network with high-speed broadband coupled to innovative cloud-based services, we dramatically improved everything from internal ordering and stock management processes to the overall guest experience at our 1,600 sites nationwide."
Crucially, the project was designed around business outcomes, rather than technology – a key factor in ensuring that the company can introduce new products and services without the need for significant investment in technology upgrades.
In May 2011, Mitchells & Butlers engaged in an outsourcing project with Fujitsu that was designed to deliver these very specific business outcomes. The project consisted of two key phases – delivery of a superfast broadband network to the company's 1,600 businesses, and the migration of old and inefficient applications to a new, virtualised data centre environment.
The second component, the migration of 85% of the business applications to a virtual environment in a new data centre, was also completed on time in March 2012. The remaining 15% of applications moved to a new physical infrastructure at the same time. Fujitsu migrated 40 business-critical applications and 44 terabytes of live data to a private cloud in the new data centre over the course of a single weekend, with all applications available to staff the following Monday. Mitchells & Butlers' application portfolio now largely runs in virtual environments, which means they can pay for IT on a utility-based, pay-as-you-go billing model.
"These moves were technically and logistically complex, involving the migration of significant numbers of applications and volumes of data over the course of a single weekend, but the entire migration process happened with no disruption to business at any of our sites," adds Taylor. "Every pub continued to trade, serve customers and process payments smoothly. This is the real measure of the success of the project; the fact that nobody noticed such a major transition indicates just how well-designed and well-executed the entire project was."
With the introduction of the new, superfast up to 24MB broadband service, all 1,600 Mitchells & Butlers pubs can also introduce many new services to guests, such as free Wi-Fi and local promotions, giving an additional reason to visit, encouraging repeat visits and improving the overall guest experience. At the same time, it enables the delivery of content-rich training programmes and other services to all 38,000 Mitchells & Butlers staff, without impacting on critical business applications or processes.
"Thanks to the flexibility and agility offered by Fujitsu's cloud technology, we can design and trial new applications in weeks rather than months, ensuring that new ideas can be tested and deployed much faster than was previously possible," comments Taylor. "That will enable us to offer many new services such as electronic order capture, table booking and guest enquiries, at minimal cost and without the need for further substantial investment in technology."
The first phase of the project, delivery of superfast network services via high-speed broadband, was completed to schedule in November 2011, with all of Mitchells & Butlers 1,600 businesses nationwide switched over to the new service with no interruptions to service. A further benefit is that Mitchells & Butlers' core business applications now run at least 10% faster than their predecessors. Performance improvements in back-end and warehouse applications are even more significant, typically between 20 and 30%. This enhanced performance is combined with greater service availability, which is consistently higher than the defined service levels, meaning fewer interruptions to the business, less staff downtime and happier guests as a result. This all contributes to a more efficient business.
"While the technology design, methodical planning and performance metrics underlying the success of this project are outstanding, we believe that the way in which the project was managed by both parties, and the exceptional relationship that developed between us as a result, were as important in ensuring that the project was a success," concludes Taylor. "Thanks to a genuinely innovative partnership with Fujitsu that delivered equivalent innovation in technology and business processes, Mitchells & Butlers now has a robust and reliable platform on which to build its future."
The result of this work is a radically new and improved IT infrastructure underpinning Mitchells & Butlers' business, which is already delivering substantial and measurable benefits. The company can now launch innovative customer-centric products and services quickly and easily thanks to a highly efficient on-demand computing model; applications run faster and more cost-effectively; and critically, the company now has guaranteed service availability, ensuring that its business runs smoothly across all of its restaurants and pubs.

A DAD-of-two banned from contacting his ex-wife phoned her while detained in a secure psychiatric ward under the Mental Health Act, a court heard.
Burnley magistrates were told how Nidham Ferchichi, 31, also wrote two letters to Anna Joyce, even though a restraining order forbade it. He was to tell police he didn't consider himself divorced as that was when a relationship had ended and he didn't think theirs was over.
Ferchichi sent the letters after he had been released from hospital into the care of the community mental health team and was living at a Travelodge in Burnley.
The hearing was told the restraining order was imposed last June, when the defendant had been convicted of theft, criminal damage and threatening behaviour after an incident at Ms Joyce's home.
Ferchichi, of Fir Street, Nelson, admitted two counts of beaching a restraining order, committing a further offence while subject to a conditional discharge and failing to surrender. He was given a 12 month community order with supervision and must pay £50 costs and a £60 victim surcharge.

Home > Wellness Resources > Health Library > NICU: Communicating With the Staff
The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) staff are vital not only to
your infant's health but also to your understanding of your infant's condition.
When you are with your infant's doctor or nurse, ask whatever questions you have about your infant's health and care. The NICU staff
understands that this is all new to you. It's a good idea to keep a running list
of written questions to refer to when you're on the unit.
Expect the NICU to be both a stressful place for you and a stressful
place for the staff to work. Events on the NICU can unfold quickly, and
communication can sometimes suffer. With this in mind, be prepared for any of the following problems:

One of the biggest challenges facing treasurers is that managing FX risk is only one element of their role and as such, they need to balance the time and resource required to manage FX alongside other key responsibilities such as cash management and funding.
There is a growing appetite, in regions such as South Africa, to streamline and simplify KYC (Know Your Customer) processes for corporate customers, with the aim of reducing the time and cost spent on supplying this information.
In an environment of heightened volatility, treasurers need to ramp up but also prioritise their risk management activities. Using transactional solutions alongside financial market instruments can be a valuable way of simplifying risk management for non-core currencies, enabling treasurers to focus on core risks and contribute to business success.
Treasury Management International showcases topical, pragmatic solutions and strategic insights on treasury, cash management, foreign exchange and other issues affecting treasury and financial professionals, together with treasury and finance news, education and opinion. With real-life treasury management experiences and case studies at its core, TMI provides valuable material for all practitioners - from experienced treasurers and CFOs to those new to the profession.

County wants more discussion over where to relocate elections office
Published: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 6:47 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 6:47 p.m.
Alachua County may move the Supervisor of Elections Office into a local Big Lots store if negotiations go well, but county commissioners aren't sure if they want to lease, buy or build.
During its Tuesday meeting, the County Commission authorized staff to continue negotiating with Bosshardt Property Management, which manages the Big Lots at 2340 N Main St. in the Northside Shopping Center, on the possible move. Big Lots is moving into the old Albertson's building on Northwest 13th Street next month.
But commissioners debated whether they should solidify a long-term lease for that site, which would combine the Big Lots facility with part of the adjacent Ashley Furniture building, or erect their own facility instead. Buying an already-existing space was also discussed as an option.
The county has been working on a timetable that would have Supervisor of Elections Pam Carpenter and her staff move into a new office in December. The office's need for a better facility predates Carpenter's start as supervisor in 2005.
The elections office is using three separate locations right now, including its office at the Star Garage in downtown Gainesville.
Commissioner Mike Byerly said he was concerned the county may be under such tight time-constraints that Bosshardt will have the primary negotiating power and the county won't be able to get the best deal as a result.
Carpenter told the board the office absolutely must have a new location by the 2016 presidential election. Her staff struggled during the 2012 election in its present facilities.
"We won't be able to do it in 2016," she said.
The county has thousands more voters today than it did several years ago, and her office also manages more early and absentee voting than in past years.
Commissioners were interested in the cost difference between the elections supervisor leasing a spot and building its own facility. If the costs were comparable, building might be the better long-term option.
Commissioner Susan Baird, who recused herself from Tuesday's vote due to a potential voting conflict since she works as an independent contractor with Bosshardt, suggested the county could do a 10-year lease and then work on building a Supervisor of Elections Office for long-term use in the interim.
Acting County Manager Rick Drummond said the county has to settle with Bosshardt on the Big Lots space if it wants to set up a new office in time for the 2014 election cycle. If an agreement can't be reached or the commission doesn't approve a contract, the county will have to delay the move.
Facilities Manager Charlie Jackson said it would probably take about 2 ½ years to design and build an office.
Carpenter pointed out that the office's current location in the Star Garage was originally meant to be a 15-month, short-term solution when it moved there several years ago. The space wasn't working well then for staff and it doesn't work now, she said.
"We need our equipment and our people in the same place," she told the board.
A couple of people who submitted property bids for the Supervisor of Elections Office told the commission Tuesday they were interested in selling their properties.
After much discussion, the commission, in a 4-0 vote with Baird abstaining, directed staff to negotiate with Bosshardt for lease terms of four, 11 and 20 years as well as a potential option contract for purchasing the property.
The commission also asked staff to develop a cost comparison of building an office versus leasing it in both the short- and long-term, as well as to provide information on the impact that removing the new facility from the tax rolls might have from a taxpayer perspective.

Hi, will these example of tar command in unix will also applied on other flavor of unix e.g. Solaris, AIX and Linux ?

@Anonymous, Thanks for your comment. I have not tested these command on other Unix Operation system e.g. Solaris, AIX or anything else, though I have tested these on Linux and as such these are general tar command examples until you have gnu tar these examples should work properly.

Two recommendations:
1) Your blog is very narrow, which makes it hard to read. Try a width of 685 instead of 485.
2) In your introduction, don't just briefly explain what the tar command is. Also tell me why your post is better than just reading "man tar". (For example, you might say "The tar manual page has a huge number of options most people never use. I will briefly explain the 10 most common usages of tar")

i have one more doubt ..how to extract multiple tar file in single commands..

tar command is mainly used for zip and unzip archives but that is not the only command available in any Unix operating system. you can use gzip or gunzip for creating and extracting archives and there are couple of more as well.
- May 10, 2012 at 2:41 AM
- tar said...
well you can not use tar -zcvf command in AIX. it doesn't support compression directory using -z option. alternatively you can pass output of tar command to gzip for compression like
tar -cvf file | gzip > file.tar.gz

Box Score
EVANSTON, Ill. – The Penn women's lacrosse team wrapped up the regular season on Saturday afternoon, falling to the defending national champion No. 4 Northwestern, 15-8. Tory Bensen had three goals for the No. 16 Quakers, while Meredith Cain and Shannon Mangini added a pair each. Erin Fitzgerald scored four times to pace the Wildcats.
Northwestern (15-2) took the lead less than a minute into the game, and had a 3-0 lead before Bensen got the Quakers (9-5) on the board with a free position goal 5:27 into the action. She would score the first two goals for Penn, taking an assist from Cain exactly 11 minutes later to pull the Quakers within three at 5-2.
The Quakers went into halftime down 6-3 after Mangini scored off another feed from Cain with 1:28 remaining in the first half. After intermission, Northwestern again wasted little time getting its offensive going. The Wildcats scored nine seconds into the half, and was up 9-3 before Cain broke away for an unassisted goal to make it 9-4 with 26:49 to play.
Northwestern grabbed an 11-5 lead with 21:36 remaining, but the Quakers rattled off three straight goals to pull themselves back in the game. First was Mangini, drilling an unassisted tally with 20:18 remaining. Nearly five minutes later, after holding the Wildcats off the scoreboard in the interim, Caroline Bunting scored off a free position to make it 11-7. Cain got her second goal and team-leading fourth point with 13:26 to play when her unassisted goal slashed Northwestern's lead to 11-8.
That would be as close as the Quakers would get, however, as the Wildcats answered with four straight goals of their own to close the contest.
After sitting on the lesser side of the draws, 7-3, in the first half, Penn had an 8-7 edge in the second half. Cain, Poplawski and Mangini each had three in the game. Lucy Ferguson made eight saves in the game, including five in the first half.
Penn will continue its season at the Ivy League Tournament beginning Friday. The Quakers are hosting the tournament at Franklin Field, and will face Cornell in the semifinals at 7:00 p.m. Dartmouth and Princeton will face off in the first semifinal of the evening at 4:00 p.m., also at Franklin Field.

- Randomish crates with an IR strobe in them
- A number of Civs that wander towns, ask them for a map or GPS and they might oblige.
Let me know how it goes and suggestions.
Saw your first bit about the UAV, if you intend it to work for people and can't get it to work I thought I'd chime in and say I can get it operational for you (ala like I did with the domination). Otherwise I like the sound of the other stuff and shall see about giving this a go with a few people.
Regards Hawk.

I won't be around that much until sunday, I may be around after 9pm tomorrow and sat. If a few people are about give it a whirl and post your findings here.
Well I didn't get to check out the UAV for you but I went solo looking to see how it played and locate any possable bugs, bellow is an AAR for my experence, below that my personal verdict and any bugs encountered.
Operational Procedure: START.
Personal Status : Character class: Officer, Equipment: M1911, five magazines, Four smoke grenades, Binoculars. Adrenaline level 0%.
Spawned in open terrain, immediately went prone and scanned the surrounding area. No landmarks in sight checked my watch 9:00am, proceeded to head East toward the sun, found Vibor after two minute travel time. Performed 180° recon of Vibor, identified five individuals in civilian clothing on Vibor's east side. Entered Vibor cautiously from the south heading for these civilians with hopes of asking for a map, slowly approached 3 of these civilians whom where grouping together.
"Wait that civilian is carrying a hunting rifle. (CZ-550) something seems off here..."
"Well maybe Bodge added some resistance fighters or something?"
Continued my approach, got within 10 feet and they turned and started raising their weapons... Took down two before any of them had raised their firearms, the third ran behind a wall heading down the main road.
Looted my second kill and retrieved the following, AKM/three AKM magazines/Map/Compass. Slowly circled around the wall and took the third guy down in the middlie of the main road, saw open building on the otherside then spotted two further guys coming down the left side of the road. Targets eliminated with two careful shots.
Personal Status : Engagements: 1. Kills: 5. Adrenaline level 10%.
Hmm I hear a vehicle approaching... Dashed into afore mentioned building and took cover in one of the rooms, listened carefully, yep that vehicle was entering Vibor. Heard it circle around my building risking a peek I identified a Hilux pickup with PK. Waited for a few minutes listening to this vehicle, now it was heading back towards the main road.
"Hmm maybe I can..."
Moved to the building entrance hoping to catch the gunner as they passed the building but my calculations were off the vehicle had already passed, oh well I'm not getting a free ride, best not stir the nest unnecessarily. Quickly exited Vibor to the north heading for the main airfield.
Personal Status : Adrenaline level 15%.
Arrived at the airfield's outter wall, game time 9:20am now I had a choice, skirt round or go through?
Screw it I'm a sneaky S.O.B when I want to be.
Entered the airfield perimeter reconned the Barrack area with my Binoculars no hostiles, edged closer to the actual airstrip but remained in the small forest. Reconned the airstrip, three squads of eight heavily armed Chedaki patrolling the hangers.
"Sh*t I'm good, but not THAT good. Not with a none scoped weapon anyway."
Headed back to the outter wall, except now I plan to follow it around on the inside. Followed the wall round slipping onto the outside just incase, Hear a vehicle approach hit the ground and waited.
Identified a truck loaded with Chedaki coming down the small road, watched hoping to remain concealed. Success I remain concealed, at least until that damned ASR_AI decides it's going to go through the hole in the outter wall less than 20 feet from me! I wait until the truck is about 30 feet from me and engage, eliminate all hostiles before they can even exit the truck. Loot AK 74 PSO, 6 magazines and 2 RGO grenades from the driver whom seems to have been ejected from the vehicle upon death as the truck is locked, I can't use it. *sob*
Personal Status : Engagements: 2. Kills: 15. Adrenaline level 55%.
Proceed on with my mission of reaching the UN secured airfield at Krasnostav to the north-east.
Skirt round Grishino no point in doing anything stupid, Heading for the Novy Lug area.
Personal Status : Adrenaline level 30%.
Reach the Novy Lug area, game time 9:50am. recon the large open area from the forest with my shiny (slightly blood stained) new PSO identify a patrol of eight Chedaki and a lone civilian in the open, decide to go round afterall I'm close to victory now. Head through the forests for awhile when I both hear and see the dust cloud from a few vehicles on the road I'm approaching. Remaining consealed I watch, A single truck loaded with more Chedaki and a BDRM vehicle. The BDRM continues on along the road... But the truck, it stops the Chedaki debus and start to patrol in the forest while the truck takes off again!
Personal Status : Adrenaline level 65%.
The next 25-30 minutes real time are some of the most 'pant-sh*ttingly' fun I've had for a long time in ARMA, following these Chedaki around the forests undetected looking for an opening sometimes coming within 20 feet of them.
Personal Status : Adrenaline level 95%.
Eitherway I make it past and home to the welcoming arms of the United Nations Peacekeepers at Krasnostav Airfield.
Final Status : Engagements: 2. Kills: 15. Adrenaline level 95%.
Final Time : one hour thirty minutes.
Final Verdict : ***** (That's five star) Nice work Bodge.
Regards Hawk.

It must be said, so that it is clear. Escape is a mission made by Monty. Not myself. I am editing it as an experiment. My current aims are to 1) speed up the end game and 2) give you more reason to head to towns.

Sunshine Music & Blues Festival lineup: Tedeschi Trucks Band, Galactic, Leon Russell and more
Live Nation has tried something bold in 2013. Recognizing, perhaps, that we live in a festival culture, they've launched three all-new festivals in Tampa Bay.
In November, we'll have the indie-minded Coastline Music Festival, featuring Passion Pit and Two Door Cinema Club. Back in May, we had the Funshine Music Festival, with Train, REO Speedwagon, Smashing Pumpkins and many others.
But you might have forgotten the first of these fests: The Sunshine Music & Blues Festival, which took place in January at Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg. Sunshine did well enough to merit a second year, and on Monday, we got our first look at the lineup.
Tedeschi Trucks Band (above), Leon Russell, Galactic, Hot Tuna and The Ringers -- a supergroup featuring Widespread Panic's Jimmy Herring, Wayne Krantz, Michael Landau, Keith Carlock and Etienne Mbappe -- will headline the Sunshine Music & Blues Festival, which takes place Jan. 19 at Vinoy Park. Bobby Lee Rodgers and Oli Brown are also on the bill, with more acts to be announced. …Full Story

AFTER 63 years working in the newspaper industry, an avid sports fan and popular member of the team is set to leave the Gloucestershire Gazette and its sister papers.
Roy Baldwin, 78, joined the Wiltshire and Gloucestershire Standard as an apprentice compositor in 1951 and has not looked back since.
He finishes today as the Gazette's circulation department assistant after moving to the Dursley office in 1959 but has worked in numerous departments including sales, distribution, printing and commercial printing under three different owners in his time.
He initially retired in 1998 at the spring chicken age of 62 but agreed to do some part time work "temporarily" two weeks later, which ended up lasting a further 16 years.
Roy said he had seen many changes to the industry during his career and always found it interesting work.
"It's been a long journey and an interesting journey and, as anyone my age will tell you I can still recall my first day of work.
"I was fresh-faced and with the innocence of youth worrying about what was going to befall me but it was very satisfying.
"It was a life-changing experience. I met some wonderful and friendly staff.
"The biggest change has been the change in technology. The former owner Baileys used to employ 300 workers with day and night shifts. It was always very very busy."
Originally from Cirencester, the Dursley 91 Probus member has lived in The Knapp in Dursley since 1993 after marrying his wife Anne in 1959.
He has four grandchildren and two children, Kevin who lives in Gloucester and Sue who lives just down the road from him in Dursley.
A keen sportsman, he played cricket for Stretton Cricket Club in Cirencester before joining Cam Cricket Club and would also play for several football clubs.
Roy has also been an avid follower of amateur dramatics, taking on many roles on the stage for Woodford Operatic Society before it turned into the Dursley Operatic and Dramatic Society.
The Dursley Male Voice Choir member told the Gazette he looks forward to tending to his garden as well as maybe taking on some voluntary work in the future.
"I am very appreciative of the people I have come into contact with and for making friends with so many people over the years," he said.
"I have enjoyed my working life and I will miss it, but I do not intend to vegetate," he said.

Tito Ortiz arrested for beating Jenna Jameson
Tito Ortiz was arrested for domestic violence today at the home he shares with Jenna Jameson and their twin infants, according to TMZ:
We're told when cops arrived at the couple's home in Huntington Beach, CA — Jenna Jameson had "visible injuries."
We're told someone called 911 today at 9:53 AM and reported a "disturbance."
Tito is currently in custody and on his way to a Huntington Beach jail in Orange County, CA.
I honestly don't know what to feel here. On the one hand, beating women is for pussies, but on the other, porn stars don't count as people. I think you're even allowed to hit two with your car before you get a ticket. Pretty sure I read that in a book somewhere.
EDIT: Uhh….

• tawdry •
Pronunciation: taw-dree • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. Cheap, showy and pretentious as tawdry clothes. 2. Shameful, indecent, as tawdry behavior.
Notes: Today's word has a small family consisting of an adverb tawdrily and a noun, tawdriness. Tawdry itself may also be used as a noun, as Richardson used it when he wrote in his novel, Clarissa (1747), "Only for the sake of having a little more tawdry upon his housings".
In Play: In general, we think of dressing tawdrily, but a person may behave in a tawdry manner, too, "She was perfectly dressed for her tawdry flirtations with all the men at the party." In fact, tawdriness can appear anywhere: "The Bickertons draped their entire premises with tawdry blinking decorations to celebrate the birth of their Lord."
Word History: The meaning of today's word reflects undeserved shame on its eponym. Etheldreda, the queen of Northumberland in the 7th century, rejected the pomp and circumstance of her station and moved to the Isle of Ely near Cambridge, where she established a convent. As she lay dying of a throat tumor in 679, she declared her malady divine punishment for the vanity of her youth, when she was overly fond of neckwear. She was canonized as St. Audrey and the city of Ely established an annual fair in her honor. In time, this fair became known for its cheap, frilly scarves, called St. Audrey lace. This expression eventually contracted to t'Audry (lace), which came to be used as an adjective, ultimately to be respelled as today's word . (Today's Good Word came as no tawdry recommendation at all, so we thank John Olivier for it.)

Heat oil in a large pot and pop corn according to package directions. Place popped corn in a large mixing bowl. Add the snack mixes.
Place the barley malt and maple syrup in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the flame to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently for 5 to 7 minutes. Pour the hot syrup over the popped corn mixture. Mix thoroughly until all popcorn mixture is completely coated with syrup.
Pour 1 cup cold water into a small bowl. Lightly moisten your hands with the cold water. Take a handful of the popcorn mixture and form it into a ball while packing firmly with you hands, just like you would if making a snowball. Repeat the above steps, making sure to moisten your hands before making each ball. Wrap the balls in wax paper or baking paper, or place in a covered container and freeze until the syrup hardens.
Yields: 12 popcorn balls; These whole grain popcorn balls make a healthier breakfast treat than pastries.

When looking at remote control vehicles, 27 mhz and 49 mhz are the radio frequencies, right?
If I had 27 and 42 could they could race without interfering with each other?
We've never been able to race two of our toys together because one remote will control both cars/boats/trucks.
Do you guys recommend any reasonably priced Monster trucks or race cars? There are so many out there. We're still a little young and rough on them to go high end.

Hey Guys, hopefully someone can help me out. Having a bunch of problems in ie6 and ie7 and I don't know where to start fixing. http://revolveclothing.com/html/b/3.0/slide_show_test.html
This is the site, I've validated all the HTML and CSS. Just need to know what the next steps are.
Any help is appreciated. Let me know if you need anything else from me.
Whew, that page had some nasty bugs in it .
#footer_wrap div#footer_inner ul{margin:0}
THe position:absolute; there is more of a quick fix. You position your subneav using floats and as a result it breaks the layout of the menu.
You'd need to use position:absolute and then I'm guessing you want it like a regular dropdown? Hide it via a margin-left:-999em an dthen on hover bring it back to 0 to show it
I made the changes and nothing happened....
Got the footer looking ok, but there is some extra spacing above it and the top nav is still being pushed into 2 lines...
Well if nothing happened then you are seeing a cached version of the page. The code I gave you makes the page perfect.
Every issue you just said is fixed by my code. THe nav is because of the .subnav which I explained.
The footer is fixed in my code as well
If I say something fixes it then (not to sound rude) it works .
I removed the subnav completely for the meanwhile so I can get the main nav fixed. Do you know why the main nav's to last buttons are still being pushed to another line in ie6?
also do you know what would be causing that extra spacing between the footer and bottom content?
Again, the navigation issue and everything else is solved with my code.
Put the subnav back and add my code. If you say it still isn't working then leave the page be and I'll see what went wrong (Though I can show you my local copy that is working :))
Do you know how I would get rid of the extra spacing at the bottom of the page, above the footer?
#footer_gradient {
width: 990px;
background: url(../images/bottom_gradient.jpg) no-repeat;
height: 87px;
float: left;
display: inline;

The above needs to be removed from your HTML and CSS.
I need that bottom gradient image, how can I still use it??
Apply it to a differnet element :). Make the most use out of your elements that you can.I'm leaving now for a couple hours but hopefully that should point you in the right direction.
You could consider absolute positioning it if you need it
You can apply it to #inner_wrap.
Something like...
#inner_wrap {
background:url(mygradient.png) repeat-x bottom;
padding-bottom:84px; /* whatever value you need to make the gradient show */
I applied it the way you suggested and now it is visible in ie6 but not firefox....
I think it's displaying but on top behind the top nav....
I can hardly see the gradient on my screen so it's difficult for me to debug.
Add "clear:both;" to your #inner_wrap and see if that works.
no, it didn't work. In firefox there isn't even a space for it, the bottom content is flush with the footer. But in ie it look's fine
Ok then, you can remove the clear:both. Instead contain the floats by adding "overflow:hidden" to your #inner_wrap. That should work.
Hey Guys, thanks for everything. Got everything looking pretty good. I'm working my way down the site.
I need help on the main feature slideshow. - http://revolveclothing.com/html/b/3.0/source_test/slide_show_test.html ie6 is moving the text around on the main features bottom nav. Any help is appreciated.
Need Help... Ie6 is displaying the features bottom nav all screwed up...

And 10b of those apps are legit. The rest are useless/malware. Woohoo google. Not to mention NSA is watching.
Come on, how is Google Play hitting 50 Billion downloads so impressive? Apple said they have sold what? About 300 million iOS devices? And good has sold what? About 900 Million android devices? Big whoop! They managed to have people download as many apps 2 months after Apple hit the same number and Apple did it with one-third the amount of devices. Seriously, its not as impressive as you make it out to be. But anyways, good job Google, its still a big milestone.
also you say 300 million vs 900 million, apple also had what, a 2 year head start?
AppStore: "it's 50 billion unique downloads, excluding re-downloads and updates."
SMH to the 2 year head start.. Boom.
Having used both app stores apple is the better store, google play is full of fakes and apps that aren't what they seem! But saying that apple has had a few of its own recently! But what I'd say makes apples App Store stand out is the apps them self and how they look and feel on iOS! Apps just seem so much smoother and seems to have better features!

Hi all ,
I recently started learning MYSQL :
There are two tables in my database
Table A - 562712 Records
'Link', 'varchar(50)', 'YES', '', NULL, '' 'Feature', 'varchar(50)', 'YES', '', NULL, '' 'Chromosome', 'varchar(20)', 'YES', '', NULL, '' 'Start', 'int(11)', 'YES', '', NULL, '' 'End', 'int(11)', 'YES', '', NULL, ''
Table B - 1240 Records Start, int(11), NO, , , End, int(11), NO, , ,
I am trying to execute a simple query : SELECT A.Link,A.Start_Position,A.Stop_Position,A.Chromosome,A.Start,A.End FROM A,B where B.Start <= A.Start and B.End >= A.End;
This query is taking more than two minutes to execute .. Can anyone please suggest me some changes ...
would you kindly do a proper SHOW CREATE TABLE for your tables
this will also reveal the indexes that you have declared
Well , I have not declared any indexes for tables :
I just created a simple table as
create table A (Link varchar(50),Feature varchar(50),Chromosome varchar(20),Start int(11) ,End int(11));and Create table B(Start int(11),End, int(11));
Sorry I don't have a background of data base technologies ,Can you please tell what effect an index will have ?
ALTER tablea ADD INDEX start_end_ix_a ( start , end );ALTER tableb ADD INDEX start_end_ix_b ( start , end );
then try your query again
I added these statements ... but query is still taking a long time more than 2 minutes ...
please do an EXPLAIN on the query and post the results
I am trying to find column values (Chromosome,Linkage Group, start coordinates ,End coordinates ) from Table A,where start and end values (For table A) are in range of table B start and end values.
EXPLAIN SELECT A.Link,A.Start_Position,A.Stop_Position,A.Chromosome,A.Start,A.End FROM A,B where B.Start <= A.Start and B.End >= A.End
Run that and post the image. That is what is meant by post the explain.
I have attached the result in screen shot :
This is output I am getting :
id select_type table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra1 SIMPLE qtl ALL start_end_ix_qtl_positions 1205 1 SIMPLE C ALL start_end_ix_ChromosomalPosition 562712 Range checked for each record (index map: 0x1)
That error message has to do with the query to the database. Either the database "my_database" or the table in the database "abc" is none existant (spelling?) or there are no rows in the db for the fetch array to work.

I want to understand how to use the "div" element on my website. Is there a good tutorial here or somewhere that is easy to understand? For whatever reason I have trouble grasping it. My website takes a while to load, and many have said I need to have columns or something speed it up.
Having columns won't make any difference. It's more likely to be big image files etc slowing down the page load, or a slow internet connection.
A div is just a container you can wrap around other elements for the purpose of organizing those elements on the page. You can apply styles to it, like a width, floating it etc. to create columns and so on. We'd need to know what layout you want to give more specific advice.
Okay let me share my site, but please don't beat up on me. A few of your have been a real help to me with it, and a few have torn me to pieces. I know my site is full of problems.... I post mostly anymore in "Latest News" link, and some have told me it loads tooslow. I want to know how to add columns anyway so any help would be appreciated. www.stoutstandards.com
OK, I won't beat you up.
So, what page(s) / content would you like to break into columns? If lots of pages, perhaps pick one so we can do a trial run. Consider how wide you'd like the various columns, too.
I post most frequently in the "Latest News" link, and want to know how I can get it load quicker. For that matter all my pages are similar so any suggestions will work for them too. Thank you...
The page does load quite slowly for me, but there's a lot on there. I would suggest that you perhaps just post on that page a snippet of, say, the past ten news items, each one with a link to its own page—like on standard blogs etc. That way the page won't get too long and hard to read.
The images aren't too large, but I guess once you have a lot of them it slows down the page anyway. It might be a big job to add columns to that page, and I don't think it's really needed. But the question would be, what content goes in what column? That is, how are you going to break up each news item? Anyhow, columns are not the issue in terms of page load. It's just the length of the page to blame, so I'd say break it up.
Have you taken a close look, Ralph? All the images I checked were either lacking compression or larger than the display dimensions. Even if the content were split to different pages there would be a great benefit in optimising the images.
For example, the image with the caption "Gary, Jim and Scott", named "Mitchen.jpg" is set in the markup to display at 540x400, but the image file is 1800x1201 and has a file size of 754KB. If the original image were resized and saved with 60% compression it would be around 70KB, less than a tenth of the current file size and therefore considerably faster to download.
I hope this isn't too severe, Barnum.
I only checked a few pics at random, that seemed reasonably sized (around 100kb), but well spotted. @Barnum; if you have Photoshop, you can easily optimize these images with the Save for Web option, where you can change the dimensions of the images and reduce their (pixel) size dramatically.
Barnum, here are some BASIC tips:
FIRST gather all the info you would want to present on your site. NO, not how you want it to look.. but what you NEED IT TO SAY.
Structure that into HEADERS ( which are demarcations of topics and not to be confuse with headlines or sub headlines) , paragraphs, quotes and lists ( making the distinction of which lists NEED to imply order, a countdown for example, which do not. The appropriate semantic tags for these: H1-6, P, BLOCKQUOTE, UL , OL.
OK now you have your document basically set up and you can START to BEGIN to think about DIVs
Some rules: you CANT put a DIV within a P or as a CHILD of ANY of the aforementioned tags EXCEPT BLOCKQUOTE. Clarifications, you can use DIVs within LIs but only LIs can be direct children of OL or ULs. If you need to wrap or drop anything in the tags in question it is best to use SPAN and give the span in question display:block;
( essentially a SPAN in the inline equivalent of a DIV)...see?
So what happen when you cant define something as a heading, list, paragraph..etc? Thats another good use for the DIV tag, assuming the information in question is intended to be block-type. Let's say for example you have a slogan... that would be a good candidate for a DIV. Apple "Think diferent." is not a P, it really isnt an item in a list, it is NOT a quote!! Really, it isn't anything... as such you COULD, for the sake of this example do this:

 Think Differently

OK, so that is your crash course in semantic use of DIVs.
Once this is done DIVs ALSO serve another important role in your code and that's to group information that you want to go together.. for , preferably , logical or even presentational reasons.
For example lets say you had the above info.. and you wanted that to be the header part of a page.. then you could segment your info using DIVS... You can then use CSS on THOSE segment divs to color and position create nifty layouts, etc....

 Think Differently

Try to keep this segmenting to a minimum as it BLOATS your code. but if you NEED it YOU NEED it.
ALSO... remember what I said about DIVs being BLOCK elements? Sometimes, novices for get they already have a block in elements suck as UL and will wrap a DIV around a UL... in MOST CASES this is redundant and you could just get rid of the DIV.
In a well structured document(see step #1), you will find there is little need for EMPTY divs or multiple wrapping divs, tho it does happen on occasion. Still try avoid getting painted into this corner.
I hope that condensed course sheds light on the subject and helps you avoid DIVitis.
PSIt Your site might load quicker if you make separate MUCH SMALLER and better compressed thumbnails. It may seem like a pain at first but this can be automated ( if you have Photoshop) and the rewards will be worth it.
Thanks, need to digest all this...the compression is something I need to obviously do.
