St Helier RNLI lifeboat crew rescue stranded photographer from Corbiere rocks
The St Helier inshore lifeboat was called out at 2.47pm on Monday (4 April) following reports of a person trapped on rocks at Corbiere.
The alarm was raised when Jersey Coastguard received numerous calls from members of the public advising them that someone had been cut off by the rising tide on rocks between Corbiere lighthouse and the shore and was waving for help.
Both the Fire Service inshore rescue boat and the St Helier RNLI inshore lifeboat were called and arrived within minutes of each other.
With the causeway awash, the Fire Service then proceeded to rescue the lady, who it is believed had been taking photographs and was unaware of her predicament until it was too late, and transfer her to the St Helier Inshore lifeboat for passage back to St Helier.
Fortunately, she had not even gotten wet during the experience and arrived back safe and sound.
The lifeboat was back on station by 3.52pm, where she was made ready for her next call.

WonkyZebra 261 Bell Sleeve Dress
It also has a delicate scoop neckline highlighted with picot edging which is very demure and flattering. It is worked in a simple row by row pattern that gives the effect of broidery anglais.
WonkyZebra 262 Hexagonal Flower Blanket
A very easy to work motif, this pattern comes with a great pictorial tutorial, to fully explain the whole process.
It also includes four bonus, motif shapes, hexagon, octagon, triangle and cluster square.
It makes a great introduction to making blankets or afghans from crocheted motifs.
WonkyZebra has other similar items here:-
WonkyZebra 263 Reindeer Motif Sweater FK73
There is a sweater, mittens and a hat with a Pompom.
They feature a frisky reindeer gambolling across.. a starry yellow background (yellow? Did someone get their three wise men across the desert story mixed up with the whole Christmas reindeer thing?)
This would look even better (and even more kitsch) in traditional Christmas colours.
The reindeer motif is quite different to most I have seen, and would translate very well to cross-stitch etc. It is not quite in profile and there is the perfect place for a little white tail to go.
See last picture for measurements and yarn etc.
WonkyZebra 264 MonTricotNativity
Even just the central three figures would make a charming Christmas display or gift.
This pattern contains instructions for making all the little pictures in the pictures, including the animals and the star.
The pattern comes from a French magazine, translated into English, and contains lots more characters than the usual ones of Virgin Mary, St Joseph, baby Jesus, angels, wise men and shepherds. There are also men and women of varying occupations such as a flower seller, knife grinder, miller, etc with all their props. I presume these are from French folk law as I haven't heard of these in English versions of the nativity story. However, the "cast of thousands" that you could produce from the variations would be great fun.
If you made this for a church or school display, you could use the instructions to add in characters from your own group of teachers or congregation.
The crochet is not difficult, and the patterns are written in a straightforward style with full instructions and templates for any extra bits such as wings, and how to reinforce the cove bodies with card.
WonkyZebra 265 Reindeer Gloves B2116
Knitted Gloves Pattern Vintage PDF – Reindeer Robin
Sweet little retro gloves- knitted flat on 2 needles – "except for stripes on reindeer gloves" (which you could adapt by following flat version)
If you prefer knitting in the round you could work them like that too.
Make a special pair for the Christmas season with reindeers; or anytime with the traditional patterns, or a DARLING little bird.(The bird is described as a chick- but would look cute as a Christmas robin!)
This is a nice old fashioned technical pattern-written line by line, so easy to follow; but, PLEASE NOTE, with NO CHARTS. (Although you could easily draw them up from the instructions).
sizes from 2-10 years
WonkyZebra 266 Window Filigree GH6
It is finished on to a wire lampshade hoop but there are many ways you could improvise this. It could also be just stiffened with sugar or glue solution, in which case you could dispense with the outer wire ring.
An excellent way to display your crocheting skills and could be a great gift for that person who has everything!
Pattern comes in a large print version for easy reading, as well as a quick print version, for portability.
The cream and green one is worked in a "v" stitch and has an inset granny square (this is sewn into a shaped gap after the top is made – the top is not worked around it). The hat is made with matching squares in a band and the top worked from them.

WonkyZebra 268 Charlie and Friends 2403 < no link – ask if you want it..
A knitting pattern for some cute little mice. They have great body shapes and lots of cute clothes and accessories; so it is easy to make your own little characters.
Good small projects for "stash busting" –using up oddments – and for gifts.
I have masses of toy patterns but have not processed many yet – do ask if you are looking for something in particular; I may have it!
WonkyZebra 269 Beaded Choker GH4
it's looming guys!
WonkyZebra 270 Ecru Bedspread GH6
Motifs are given as 3.5inches or 9cm across- but could be used for any Afghan size and worked in wool, or stash oddments.
For example it would look great as flowers, with yellow centres and pastel petals, joined in green…..
Or, as illustrated in the pattern; used for lampshades trims or table runners and mats!

Former Higher Education Minister Jonathan Moyo has taken to micro-blogging site Twitter and recounted how his father, Melusi Job Mlevu, was "callously murdered in Tsholotsho" by soldiers from the Fifth Brigade and agents from the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO).
Below we reproduce the 5 part tweet from the former Information Minister under then President Robert Mugabe was who toppled in a military coup in November 2017.
1/5 On 22 January 1983 my father, Melusi Job Mlevu, was callously murdered in Tsholotsho by gukurahundi soldiers & the CIO. They tortured him upon his arrest & in front of his family; got him to dig a shallow grave, tortured him again; pumped bullets into his body & buried him!
2/5 One of the two books I'm working on, LETTERS TO MY FATHER, is an academic memoir in which I unravel state politics in Zim since King Lobengula & tell my father my story since his brutal murder; especially my ordeal in the ZanuPF leadership ranks between 2000-05 & 2009-17!
3/5 "LETTERS TO MY FATHER" starts with the Nov 2017 coup. I tell my father untold things about the coup. I tell him that Mnangagwa, Chiwenga, Shiri & others who sent soldiers to torture & murder him; also sent soldiers to come after me & my family but his spirit & God intervened!
4/5 On the back of the 2017 violent coup whose casualties remain hidden, the stolen 2018 poll & the 1 Aug 2018 atrocities, I tell my father that last week's Army massacres & Internet shutdown had the trappings of gukurahundi; with the same murderers in charge then, in charge now!

by David A. Kosub, Ph.D
On a beautiful DC spring morning last Friday, I attended my first FCN event with like-minded federal communicators buzzing around the coffee station. As the caffeine kicked in, our attention focused on the issue at hand—building effective communication strategies. In my short tenure in federal communications, I have already checked out a variety of plans and strategies, some that are quite detailed and elaborate, some that are streamlined and straight to the point. But were they effective?
It was refreshing to hear that, generally speaking, such planning and strategy tools are a critical part of an agency's success. In using them, we drive home important points. Folks stay on message. Goals are clearly stated. And their effectiveness can be evaluated.
As a good bureaucrat, I appreciate having a clear process to follow, and the keynote speaker, Mark Phillips, the director of strategic communications for National Defense University, delivered one such process. He shared tips and advice in the form of a checklist to consider when developing your comms strategy. Key to recall is the mantra of "Research, Plan, Implement, and Evaluate." You need to understand where you are, where you want to go, how you will get there and what stands in the way. Moreover, the strategy must reflect organizational messages and tell how to engage staff, set targets, establish budgets and create a timeline with a plan of action and milestones. Oh, and we must remember to socialize them early and often!
When strategy is presented with clear, logical and compelling narrative, senior leadership is more likely to accept your approach, especially when conveying how it is in their best professional interest and agency mission.
I thought the dynamic discussions around when and how to be strategic in reactive environments quite useful. Panelists suggested that agencies develop generic plans to help think through scenarios and prepare for potential stakeholder reactions. Such generic plans should be tested and socialized often within the team , not simply put on the shelf to collect dust. Perhaps we, as a community of practice, can share some examples of generic plans already developed to help other agencies build on and implement them. These generic plans could add to the Next Gen Communications Planning discussion, too.
Many questions swirled in my head throughout the morning. Principal among them was how success is defined for communication strategies using an empirical and unbiased approach. Many may not consider embedding SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound) metrics when crafting communications. Moreover, "success" can be an amorphous outcome. What defines a successful communication outcome may be specific for an agency, specific on behalf of the plan's purpose and specific to those who need to implement it. To address this, I believe having a toolkit of available metrics, outputs and outcomes—both targeted to individual cases and others more general—shared by FCN'ers could help us all better grasp this issue.
The idea of a "communications audit" intrigued me. This concept was raised a couple times during the panel discussion, but what goes into such an audit? Why would one be called for? Who is involved? What exactly is assessed, beyond the cache of communications tools available to one's group? Maybe this is a topic for a future FCN session?
Finally, as I listened to the many conversations, I gained a better appreciation for the need for more strategic communications with the public and even those right down the hall – especially for topics which are not top of mind or do not garner press attention. However, I felt an important stakeholder was missing—our friends on the Hill. When developing an effective communications strategy, how often do communicators consider Congress, and to what extent? Just as federal communicators should use the same language when talking to each other, as was mentioned on Friday, I believe the same should go when considering Congress members, too. Success here likely comes in many forms, but chief among them is maintaining cordial, civil and hearty working relationships through clear communication channels.
It would be great to hear some others' reflections on my reflections. See folks at the next event in May!

Shop now
A beast of a whisky indeed, although it's not without its beauty. Un-chill filtered and bottled at 46% abv, this is very peaty, as you might expect, though not in the realms of the really big hitters like Ardbeg's Supernova. But if you like bonfires on beaches and tarmac on kittens, this is a good one to try.
Nose: Crashing waves, wood smoke, ash and tar. A hint of apple and citrus but the peat, unsurprisingly, dominates.
Palate: A beach barbecue... salt and kippers, a bit of butter and hot pepper spice. Water brings out some of those lighter apple and banana notes but again the phenols are the main event here.
Finish: This lasts for ages with ash, dark chocolate and pepper riding out over an oily base.
Overall: A dram that lives up to its name; the beast needs taming with a drop of water but it never gets too compliant.

I have to say that I find this to be an excellent whisky, a lovely oily mouth feel, lovely finish. Very easy to drink without water if you like the Islay style, even if it actually isn't from there.
9th December 2017
The whisky is obvious very young and lacks character.All you smell is peat.All you taste is sharp, peppery peat, but most of all you taste pure alcohol.. And then it's gone, there is no great aftertaste.It doesn't even come close to Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Talisker or even BowmoreThere are much better blends for sale than this single malt.Wouldn't recommend it to anyone and I'm certainly not going to buy it again.After a few experiments I made a mix of +/- 85% Peat's Beast and +/- 15% Johnnie Walker Red Rye Finish. For me this was the best mix. But pure, even with a teaspoon of water, for me it was undrinkeable...
14th November 2016
Young scotch without age statement. Distillery unknown. Not as peaty as I expected. At least there's no food dye in it, from the looks of it. There's almost nothing in the nose other than the peat. Same with the palate. Lacks the usual woody characteristics I'm used to from 10-12 year old ones. Would not buy again.
22nd September 2016
it crushes.
16th May 2016
I'm an Ardbeg man. Last night we had an enforced late Burns Night with seven guests, one brought a bottle of Peat's Beast, of which I'd never heard. There are too many whiskies for me to know even with my many years of experience.The table was laden with several bottles of single malts (but not my precious Ardbeg) so that people could help themselves and I made the mistake of putting out the Beast alongside them. It was popular and the gannets got through half a bottle between them. And emptied some of the others and a bottle of Taylors Late vintage port. The Beast was palatable and I wouldn't give back another gift but wouldn't buy it for myself. My husband prefers the Ardbeg too ... I've taught him too well.Everyone said how peaty the Beast was. The same was said of all the other whiskies they tried, it's a flavour you can't get away from in most good whiskies.And I still prefer Ardbeg, sorry! It's drier and more biscuity. The Beast was very good with the haggis though, I've never tried Ardbeg with the Great Chieftain.
6th March 2016
Picked this one up as part of a drinks tasting set. Tasting notes are spot on although the peatyness didn't blast me away as expected.

Nil is a word commonly used to mean not in list or zero; it is one of several names for the number 0.
Nil may also refer to:
Nil (stylized as nil) is a Japanese rock band that was formed in 1998 by Tetsu Takano (ex-Malice Mizer, ex-Mega8Ball, ex-Zigzo, The JuneJulyAugust), Hiroyuki Kashimoto and Kyoshi Moro. The original intent of Nil was to become Tetsu's solo unit and even though it has become a full fledged band, all lyrics and songwriting has been solely handled by Tetsu. The band only lasted briefly during its first incarnation and went on hiatus by the end of 1998. It would not resurface until the middle of 2002 when they would start recording again and Tetsu formed his own record label, Afro Skull Records. The name "Nil" literally means "absolute zero" and as an acronym refers to "native irreligious language".
In 2005, Nil had many setbacks which resulted in the departure of founding members Kashimoto and Moro who both left the band on January 10, 2005, the last day of the "Touring Inferno" tour. Eventually replacement drummer Furuton (ex-Oblivion Dust, ex-Mega8Ball support) left the band after only 6 months. By the end of 2005 Nil finally settled down with the addition of Masaru Kobayashi (ex-Soy Sauce Sonix, ex-Sads, The Cro-Magnons) on bass and Kazama Hiroyuki (ex-Fantastic Designs) on drums.
NIL was a 32-bit implementation of Lisp developed at MIT and intended to be the successor to Maclisp. NIL stood for "New Implementation of LISP", and was in part a response to DECs VAX computer. The project was headed by Jon L White, with a stated goal of maintaining compatibility with MacLisp whilst fixing many of the problems with the language.
The Lisp language was invented in 1958 by John McCarthy while he was at MIT. From its inception, Lisp was closely connected with the artificial intelligence research community, especially on PDP-10 systems. Lisp was used as the implementation of the programming language Micro Planner that was the foundation for the famous AI system SHRDLU. Lisp, in particular Maclisp (so called because it originated at MIT's project MAC) was also used to implement the Macsyma computer algebra system. In the 1970s, as AI research spawned commercial offshoots, the performance of existing Lisp systems became a growing issue.
Partly because of garbage collection (Lisp would use stop-and-copy garbage collection of its single heap for memory allocation) and partly because of its representation of internal structures, Lisp became difficult to run on the memory-limited stock hardware of the day. This led to the creation of LISP machines: dedicated hardware for running Lisp environments and programs. An alternative was to use the more powerful commodity hardware which was becoming available, in particular the DEC VAX.
As the neutral point of an electrical supply system is often connected to earth ground, ground and neutral are closely related. Under certain conditions, a conductor used to connect to a system neutral is also used for grounding (earthing) of equipment and structures. Current carried on a grounding conductor can result in objectionable or dangerous voltages appearing on equipment enclosures, so the installation of grounding conductors and neutral conductors is carefully defined in electrical regulations. Where a neutral conductor is used also to connect equipment enclosures to earth, care must be taken that the neutral conductor never rises to a high voltage with respect to local ground.
Ground or earth in a mains (AC power) electrical wiring system is a conductor that provides a low-impedance path back to the source to prevent hazardous voltages from appearing on equipment. (The terms "ground" and "earth" are used synonymously here. "Ground" is more common in North American English, and "earth" is more common in British English.) Under normal conditions, a grounding conductor does not carry current.
In electrical engineering, ground or earth is the reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured, a common return path for electric current, or a direct physical connection to the Earth.
In electrical power distribution systems, a protective ground conductor is an essential part of the safety Earthing system.
Electrical circuits may be connected to ground (earth) for several reasons. In mains powered equipment, exposed metal parts are connected to ground to prevent user contact with dangerous voltage if electrical insulation fails. Connections to ground limit the build-up of static electricity when handling flammable products or electrostatic-sensitive devices. In some telegraph and power transmission circuits, the earth itself can be used as one conductor of the circuit, saving the cost of installing a separate return conductor (see single-wire earth return).
For measurement purposes, the Earth serves as a (reasonably) constant potential reference against which other potentials can be measured. An electrical ground system should have an appropriate current-carrying capability to serve as an adequate zero-voltage reference level. In electronic circuit theory, a "ground" is usually idealized as an infinite source or sink for charge, which can absorb an unlimited amount of current without changing its potential. Where a real ground connection has a significant resistance, the approximation of zero potential is no longer valid. Stray voltages or earth potential rise effects will occur, which may create noise in signals or if large enough will produce an electric shock hazard.
Rivermaya is the debut album of the Filipino rock band, Rivermaya. Containing 11 tracks, it was released in 1994 on BMG Records (Pilipinas) Inc. (now Sony Music Philippines, Inc.).
All songs were written by Rico Blanco except where noted.
"Ulan" was the first single released off this album, during the last quarter of 1993.
"214" is a pop rock/ballad song, released as the second official single. It went to number one spot in various charts in the Philippines. It replaced Eraserheads hit song "With a Smile" in N.U. 107.5 on 1994.
"Awit ng Kabataan", a folk, pop rock anthem, was released as the third single.
"Bring Me Down", a duet with Rico Blanco and Bamboo Manalac both on vocals, was released as the final single.
This album was critically praised for its fresh, excitingly-new pop/rock sound. It become one of the best sellers in the 1990s and still to this day.

In Wisconsin, community college leaders generally like President Barack Obama's proposal to make the first two years of school free, but they're waiting to hear how the program would be funded.
Morna Foy, the president of the Wisconsin Technical College System, pointed out that the cost of college goes well beyond tuition and books.
"Students who get financial aid now use it for a variety of things in addition to tuition — child care, transportation costs. And those would have to be dealt with outside this particular proposal, as I understand it," said Foy.Read More At: http://www.superiortelegram.com/news/wisconsin/3653419-community-college-leaders-question-how-free-schooling-would-be-funded

Diabulimia: How to Recognize the Signs of This Diabetes-Related Eating Disorder
It's surprisingly common among women and girls with type 1 diabetes, and it's very dangerous
The problem often starts by accident. A teen or young adult with Type 1 forgets an insulin dose or two and notices a few pounds drop off quickly. If she welcomes that weight loss, she may figure: Why not skip another dose?
If this becomes a habit, the person may have diabulimia, a diabetes-related eating disorder. It's dangerous, and it's more common than you might think. In one study, researchers found about one in three women with Type 1 diabetes reported restricting their insulin (skipping injections or manipulating the insulin pump so they receive less insulin).
Related: Teen Mental Health Problems: The Statistics Are Eye-Opening
Calories down the drain
"Diabulimia" is a take-off on "bulimia," the eating disorder in which patients binge on vast quantities of food, then purge by vomiting or using laxatives. Luis Gonzalez-Mendoza, MD, director of pediatric endocrinology at Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami, has treated patients with diabulimia. "What happens is, they come to the realization that if they eat and don't give themselves insulin, those calories are going down the drain and won't reflect on their weight," he says.
In people with Type 1 diabetes, the body doesn't produce enough insulin. Insulin injections are needed to help sugar enter cells so it can be used for energy. Without insulin, sugar (and calories) spill into the urine and don't show up on the scale.
People with Type 1 diabetes have often been counting carbs and calories for a long time, says Gonzalez-Mendoza. (Balancing insulin with carbs at each meal and snack is important to keeping blood sugar levels in the target range.) That close attention to food and food labels helps them control the disease, but it also may make them vulnerable to an eating disorder — they know how to "work the system," so to speak.
Related: Orthorexia: When Healthy Eating Becomes an Obsession
Risks of diabulimia
Insulin restriction can be extremely dangerous and may lead to early death.
Ketones, chemicals produced when the body burns fat instead of glucose due to an insulin shortage, can accumulate to unsafe levels in the blood, leading to a condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis. Blood glucose rises to unsafe levels.
In the study that found nearly one in three women reported restriction, the researchers followed those women for 11 years. During that time, the risk of death was three times higher in women who restricted insulin, even after taking into account differences in their age, body mass index (BMI) and blood sugar control. Of the 234 women, 71 reported insulin restriction at the study start. By the end, 26 women had died, and those who did reported more restricted insulin at the beginning of the study.
Signs to watch for
If the ketone levels get too high, it can make the breath smell like rancid apples and cause abdominal pain, Gonzalez-Mendoza says. Nausea and vomiting are other potential signs of restricting insulin, he says.
Other possible signs, according to the National Eating Disorders Association:
- Having persistent thirst or frequent urination
- Being preoccupied with body image
- Being depressed or moody or very tired
- Losing weight without obvious effort
- Canceling doctors' appointments
- Being secretive about blood sugars, shots and or eating
Treating diabulimia
People with diabulimia may need psychological intervention, such as therapy sessions aimed at changing their behavior. "If you catch them early, you usually don't have to go that way," Gonzalez-Mendoza says. He finds some teens will restrict insulin temporarily, such as when they are preparing for a big event in their lives and want to lose some weight.
Gonzalez-Mendoza tries to explain the dangers to his patients. "I try to tell them that starvation and insulin deficiency are similar situations, and you are stacking one on top of the other [when you restrict insulin]." When he suspects someone is restricting insulin he gets other health care providers, such as diabetes educators and nurses, involved. He also may increase the frequency of visits to keep better tabs on the patient.
If he catches patients who have just begun to restrict insulin, Gonzalez-Mendoza finds he can usually get them back on track. However, intervention might be needed if it looks like it's becoming a habit, he says.
The National Eating Disorders Association offers referrals to specialists with experience in treating the disorder.

The market for crossover vehicles is virtually exploding with options, and they each bring a little something different to the table. Many people in the market for this type of vehicle plan to use it as their primary family transportation, so they're looking for many of the same things – space, safety, and technology features being chief among their list of must-haves. It takes an extra-special crossover vehicle to make the list of Kelley Blue Book's 12 Best Family Cars, but the 2018 Honda Pilot did it. Read on for five reasons why.
1. Safety
When you're driving around with your most precious cargo – your family – onboard, you want to be surrounded by top-notch safety features and protective systems. The 2018 Pilot has received excellent crash test scores from both the NHTSA and the IIHS, and it also can be equipped with Honda Sensing. This is Honda's package of advanced safety and driver-assistance features that includes collision mitigation braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and much more.
2. Space
Seating for up to eight and ample legroom, headroom, and shoulder room all around promises that even your longest family road trips will remain peaceful. And when it comes to cargo room, the Pilot provides an impressive amount of space so all of those occupants can bring along whatever they deem necessary – no having to leave anything behind for lack of space.
3. Comfort
The Pilot's interior is filled with soft surfaces and comfort-oriented amenities. You can opt for second-row captain's chairs, leather upholstery, and heated seats – all of which up the luxury feel inside the cabin of the Pilot.
4. Performance
The Honda Pilot has an energetic standard engine, a 280-horsepower V6 that fuels quick acceleration and easily keeps up on the highway. You might also be pleasantly surprised to learn that despite its size, the Pilot is not a gas guzzler.
5. Entertainment / Connectivity
When you're carting around the whole family every day, you're going to want some solid tech and entertainment equipment. With standard or available features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a rear-seat entertainment system, Pandora integration, and Bluetooth,* the Pilot offers plenty of options to keep everyone inside happily occupied no matter how long the drive.

MySQL 8.0 Reference Manual Including MySQL NDB Cluster 8.0
C API functions for processing a replication event stream from a
server require a connection handler (a
pointer) and a pointer to a
MYSQL_RPL structure
that describes the steam of replication events to read from the
server binary log. For example:
MYSQL *mysql = mysql_real_connect(...); MYSQL_RPL rpl; # ... initialize MYSQL_RPL members ... int result = mysql_binlog_open(mysql, &rpl);
This section describes the
MYSQL_RPL structure
members. Connection handlers are described in
Section 28.7.4, "C API Data Structures".
The applicable
MYSQL_RPL members depend on the
binary log operation to be performed:
Before calling
mysql_binlog_open(), the
caller must set the
MYSQL_RPL members from
file_name_length through
flags. In addition, if
flags has the
MYSQL_RPL_GTID flag set, the caller must
set the members from
After a successful
mysql_binlog_fetch() call, the
caller examines the
size and
buffer members.
MYSQL_RPL structure member descriptions:
The length of the name of the binary log file to read. This
member is used in conjunction with
file_name; see the
file_name description.
The name of the binary log file to read:
file_name is
NULL, the client library sets it to the
empty string and sets
to 0.
file_name is not
file_name_length must either be the
length of the name or 0. If
file_name_length is 0, the client
library sets it to the length of the name, in which case,
file_name must be given as a
null-terminated string.
To read from the beginning of the binary log without having to
know the name of the oldest binary log file, set
file_name to
NULL or
the empty string, and
start_position to 4.
The position at which to start reading the binary log. The position of the first event in any given binary log file is 4.
The server ID to use for identifying to the server from which the binary log is read.
The union of flags that affect binary log reading, or 0 if no flags are set. These flag values are permitted:
Set this flag to cause
mysql_binlog_fetch() to
skip heartbeat events.
Set this flag to read GTID (global transaction ID) data.
If set, you must initialize the
MYSQL_RPL structure GTID-related
members from
gtid_set_encoded_size to
gtid_set_arg before calling
It is beyond the scope of this documentation to describe
in detail how client programs use those GTID-related
members. For more information, examine the
mysqlbinlog.cc source file. For
information about GTID-based replication, see
Section 17.1.3, "Replication with Global Transaction Identifiers".
The size of GTID set data, or 0.
The address of a callback function for
mysql_binlog_open() to call to
fill the command packet GTID set, or
if there is no such function. The callback function, if used,
should have this calling signature:
my_callback(MYSQL_RPL *rpl, unsigned char *packet_gtid_set);
Either a pointer to GTID set data (if
fix_gtid_set is
or a pointer to a value to be made available for use within
the callback function (if
fix_gtid_set is
is a generic pointer, so it can point to any kind of value
(for example, a string, a structure, or a function). Its
interpretation within the callback depends on how the callback
intends to use it.
After a successful
mysql_binlog_fetch() call, the
size of the returned binary log event. The value is 0 for an
EOF event, greater than 0 for a non-EOF event.
After a successful
mysql_binlog_fetch() call, a
pointer to the binary log event contents.

Former Russian Submarine Clock – The Perfect Dashboard Rally Timer – £350
Reading time: about 1 minute.
This is a Russian submarine clock that is believed to have been in service during the Cold War, a time when submarines were an utterly vital means of defence, offence, and intelligence gathering for the USA and the Soviet Union, as well as the United Kingdom, France, and to a lesser extent Canada and Australia.
The exploits of the American and Soviet submariners is now the stuff of legend, multiple films have been made including the Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin classic The Hunt For Red October.
Very precise clocks, chronographs, and watches needed to be used by all submariners to ensure safe navigation. This is a mechanical clock with an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand, as well as a 60 minute chronograph sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position.
The chronograph runs independently and the clock face has a simple black dial with white markings and what appears to be a green lume on the hands.
These retired submarine clocks are highly sought after for historic racing, the 4.5″ width is perfect for dash mounting and there are three mounting points ready to go. Two small knobs are located at the 4 and 8 o'clock positions to control the clock's functions, and there are three adjusters in the back of the casing.
As far as rally timers go it's hard to imagine a unit with more street cred than a former Soviet submarine clock, and with a price point of £350 it offers excellent value for money.

The Lure of Fresh
Riva Cucina Expect to find assorted creative offerings involving heirloom tomatoes on the fall menu at Riva Cucina. "September is a great month for heirlooms," says chef Massi Boldrini, before reeling off a list of adventurous and exotic soup, salad and main course possibilities. Inspired by land and sea, he offers seasonal lunch and dinner menus—as well as daily offerings. All evolve according to what is fresh, local and available from the market and from his suppliers. Riva Cucina is the creation of husband-and-wife team Massi and Jen Boldrini. "We thought we were a little out of the way and were pleasantly surprised at the quick and wonderful response," Jen Boldrini says. But the West Berkeley restaurant, which focuses on northern Italian cuisine, was an instant hit when it opened—proof that people quickly gravitate to interesting, well-prepared food, such as fresh handmade ravioli that might be filled with asparagus or pear, when these are in season. Riva Cucina is half a block from the Scharffen Berger chocolate factory and offers indoor and outdoor seating and breakfast as well as take-out lunches and dinners.
Riva Cucina, 800 Heinz Ave., 7:30 a.m.–8 p.m. Mon.–Fri., (510) 841-7482, www.rivacucina.com.
Small Thyme CaféThe well-appointed and inviting Small Thyme Café has taken the spot of the CremaLita ice cream store that didn't have a long life on Piedmont Avenue. Owner-chef Larry Kiesler opened his Martinez-based Small Thyme Catering business in 1997. He spent 18 months looking for the right venue to open a beer, wine and espresso bar with an American-Asian-Italian-themed menu, "heavy on the appetizers." Entrées, from pork loin to vegetable ravioli, and salads and sandwiches are available for those who want something substantial.
Small Thyme Café, 4301 A Piedmont Ave., 11 a.m.–9 p.m. Tue.–Thu., 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Fri.-Sat., 10 a.m.–3 p.m. brunch Sun., (510) 594-6899, www.smallthymecatering.com.

How to Secure Your App - The ULTIMATE Reference
moveax41h last edited by moveax41h
"How do I secure my app?"
Although the answer itself can involve a series of steps, I believe that finding the answer is overly complex, especially with the technologies available on the modern web. I got tired of getting a run-around as a developer when seeking info - "Implement proper input validation," "Install updates," "Sanitize or parameterize database queries," and so on… Lots of general "advice" but as developers, we need to know exactly what needs to be done in order to implement effective security into our apps. Additionally, advice clashes - "how do I prevent XSS" - some folks say sanitize user input, others say sanitize server-side requests, others say set the proper XSS headers, etc…
We cannot make your app secure for you - that requires work on your part - but we can make learning how to properly secure your app much easier.
For this reason, this post strives to answer "exactly how do I secure my app?" One of the fundamental most important pieces of info that we need in order to provide you, the app developer, with concrete information, is "what technologies are you trying to secure?"
Thus, the data below will be organized in the following order:
1.) Technology
2.) Type of resource (Frameworks, Secure Coding Practices, etc…)
Note that this guide, unlike many others on the web, is focused on how a developer/programmer/engineer can secure his/her app. It is not geared toward hacking, pentesting, or auditing an app. We will have a separate list for those items.
What does it mean to have a "secure" app?
For the purposes of this post, a "secure app" is an app which implements all known best practice recommendations . For an app to be truly "secure", it involves potentially hundreds of proper configuration requirements which should also be followed up by rigorous security testing built into the SDLC. However, every little bit counts. If you are not able to test, you can at least do your best in development. We want to make this process as easy as possible to perform.
How to use this reference
- Press Ctrl+F or Cmd+F and type the technology you'd like to learn about.
- Follow the links and learn
This page will be continuously updated as I have time, find more resources, and as resources become dead-links and/or outdated. The point is to have up-to-date or at least relatively recent advice since new threats pop up in security. If you would like to add a resource and it meets quality standards, feel free to post below.

A 2017 report from IDC found that the data protection and recovery software market was not growing as fast as it had in previous years – dropping to a 2.1% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from a 6.8% CAGR in 2016. There was much more impressive growth among some players though: smaller providers grew at 14.5%, while one vendor outdid that rate with 26.6% growth. That vendor? Veeam.
With Veeam, you would be utilizing a solution that has now been adopted by nearly three-quarters (74%) of Fortune 500 companies. This article looks at basics related to data protection itself and then lays out specific strengths of Veeam.
Data protection – the basics
To ensure that you do not have your data lost or stolen, and so that you maintain its integrity, data protection is critical. It is particularly important to concern yourself with safeguarding information since maintaining uptime allows people to get to their records without any hitches. The volume of information is also increasing, as is the understanding of its value – factors that further expand the need for data protection.
Business continuity/disaster recovery (BC/DR) and operational data backup both fall under the heading of data protection. Building these defenses into your business is not just important but necessary. Maintaining privacy of information and preventing data breaches are critical to safeguarding information. Also, setting up stringent safeguards for data serves an important function since maintaining availability is so important to organizations. Notably, hyper-availability is the centerpiece of the Veeam approach.
Two directions for data protection
The two key ways in which data protection is developing are data management and data availability. A complete plan that is used to protect information from hardware failure, disruptions or outages, malicious incidents, or user and software errors, called information lifecycle management, is a primary practice within data management. A simpler concern is data lifecycle management, through which the transmission of information to storage is automated. Data management is also used to get as much value as possible out of data via analytics, reporting, and testing or development.
Data availability is key because, regardless if you lose data or it becomes damaged, you will still be able to get users the correct data seamlessly. Along with robust data management, Veeam managed data protection offers hyper-availability so that your information is always at your fingertips – ready to propel insights and innovations.
Reasons data protection is so important
For various reasons, you need to protect your data:
- Compliance – You need to comply with regulations in order to avoid fines, lawsuits, and other expenses that arise from breaches. One of the key ones for any organizations that handle user information online is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) from the European Union (EU), which just went into effect in May. Violations of the GDPR can lead to fines up to 4% of the previous-year global revenue of an organization. That is just one example of regulatory compliance – and costs extend far beyond the fines to forensics, lawsuits, and other expenses.
- Security – You want to be certain that all your data is accurate. When customers or staff enter information, you must verify that there are no mistakes or otherwise incorrect data. In order to make sure that fraud is not occurring, your systems and services should confirm that contact details, banking account numbers, and other information is accurate and not being used illicitly. Bank accounts can be compromised, for instance.
- Best practices – Beyond concerns with compliance and security, you want to know that your information is only used in the manner that you expect it to be used – only in ways that are relevant and defined. Data should not be kept on-hand any longer than is needed, and during that time it should be kept safe. These best practices apply especially when you are marketing, changing staff records, or onboarding new staff members.
Of course some of your information is higher priority than other information is. You want to protect especially sensitive information so that it is not taken in identity theft, phishing, or other fraudulent efforts. Key pieces of data include full names, health data, credit card or bank information, phone numbers, emails, and addresses.
Cloud data protection
In order to safeguard your information that is at-rest or in-motion within cloud environments, you can leverage cloud data protection to utilize the best security and storage methods. You can meet a few core needs through this approach:
- infrastructure security – To keep your storage and cloud servers secure, you need these policies and techniques.
- storage management – Edit, copy, and access to data are logged through this feature. Data access is also enabled via an interface that is highly available and secure.
- integrity – In order to keep information from being corrupted or altered by unauthorized parties, encryption is in place. Data maintains the same form it has in storage.
If you need managed data protection for your cloud ecosystem, you can achieve that through data protection as a service (DPaaS) – which is offered through a Veeam-powered Total Server Solutions plan.
Features of data protection
For secure storage, you can use tape or disk backup in order to copy data to a tape cartridge or disk-based storage. When alterations are made to data, you can leverage continuous data protection (CDP) to maintain safety. For speedier data recovery, you can more easily get to data that is on a disk or tape via creation of links within automatically created storage snapshots. You can also get an identical copy of files or a website via mirroring.
For strong data protection, backup has always been fundamental. Traditionally that involved backing up every night – or in some other defined regular interval – to a tape library or drive. These backups could then be tapped if data became damaged or lost. Today data backup has become much more sophisticated, seamless, and user-friendly.
Why Veeam?
Managed data protection with Veeam is centered on delivering hyper-availability. This hyper-availability is tricky because data environments have become so complex in recent years, with security safeguards a mandatory best practice as it flows through multi-cloud ecosystems. Defending your data is absolutely critical because of how important data has become to broadening the insights of organizations and allowing prediction of fluctuations in demand. With the data properly protected and uncorrupted, you are also able to glean from it all you can, innovating more rapidly and reducing time-to-market.
Beyond hyper-availability and the prominence within the Fortune 500 (see introduction), other reasons that Veeam managed data protection is a strong choice include the following:
- Savings – The strength of Veeam is key because downtime is incredibly expensive: $5600 per minute, according to Gartner! Avoid those expenses, along with the reduction in staff confidence and brand value resulting from downtime, with a high-availability solution.
- Simplicity – It is simple to deploy and use, particularly with a managed services provider such as Total Server Solutions.
- Speed – If recovery is needed, you can leverage the industry's fastest recovery time to get your apps, servers, and files back up and running.

Find all Your Common Garage Door Problems Below
Everyone in the Colorado area will experience a problem with their garage door, whether it's big or small it needs to be taken care of! CO Garage Pros provides wonderful up-to-date knowledge about some common problems with your garage door. View some of the questions & answers below and see if any of these problems fall under your category!
Bottom of door is up on one side.
Your close limit switch probably needs to be adjusted. If this is not the case, then try to see if your door is bending when it is raised and/or lowered manually. Then call a professional to help you make proper replacements.
Garage door opener does not work or operate with your remote or wall switch.
There is probably some sort of disruption on the power. Firstly you should make sure that the motor unit is plugged in properly and into a functioning socket. Then if it checks out, go to the circuit breaker, fuse, or your GFCI.
The garage door closes or opens only if you hold down the push button.
The system may be misaligned, dirty, or even defective. You may need to get it Re-Aligned or even just cleaned & replaced.
The garage door will not close all the way to the ground.
In this situation your track is most likely bent, or you have a broken cable and/or pulley. Always get your track or cable replaced when needed.
The garage door closes part way and reverses.
The system may be misaligned, dirty, or even defective. You may need to get it Re-Aligned or just cleaned & replaced.
Garage door reverses and goes back up immediately after hitting the garage floor.
The system may be misaligned or dirty or even defective. You may need to get it Re-Aligned or just cleaned & replaced.
Garage door is jammed or stuck.
The system may be misaligned, dirty, or even defective. You may need to get it Re-Aligned or just cleaned & replaced.
The garage door is uneven or slanted.
This is usually a broken cable, extension spring, or worn pulleys. Have the pros figure this one out for you.
Your Garage door does not open up completely when in use.
In this case the limit switch probably needs to be moved more toward motor unit; you will want to call a professional for this.
Garage Door is cocked open slightly.
This could be a Broken Cable or a worn extension spring cable pulley. In either case you will want to replace the cable and/or pulley.
Your garage door opens, but the motor does not stop running when it is finished.
This is usually a case where you need to move the limit switch away from your motor unit.
You garage door is opening slowly and awkwardly.
It is almost always the spring, in a case where your garage door is going up or down slowly. It may be other things as well so it would be smart to call a garage door specialist in this situation.
When your garage door will not close all the way or is uneven/slanted.
Again this is normally a broken cable and/or a worn extension spring cable pulley. This is very important to fix to keep your home secure.
The garage door will not open at all.
You either have a broken spring or your garage door track is bent or mangled.
The garage door will not stay open.
This is almost always the spring or spring system.
There was a loud bang or boom right before the door stopped working.
You have a broken spring. The spring is simple to replace, but it is best to have a professional help you with this.
Hearing a popping sound as door move up and down.
This is most likely due to worn rollers.
Squeaks and squalls when the garage door goes up or down.
This is due to dry rollers or bearings. You need to lubricate the hinges. I would still call a professional garage door service.

Mistletoe not just for Kissing
This traditional Christmas decoration is also a medicinal herb. Mistletoe extracts have been extensively studied in Europe as a supplemental treatment in cancer therapy.
The herb was used historically in Old Europe for treatment of epilepsy and other convulsive nervous disorders, and was used extensively in the 16th and 17th centurys. Mistletoe is a nervine, and a narcotic, that is, it has a profound effect on the nervous system. Eating the berries can cause convulsions in children. Herbalists use Mistletoe Phoradendron flavescens teas slow the pulse and lower blood pressure, treat arthritic pain and snoring. There are valuable medicinal uses for this herb, but there are also much safer, and less toxic choices to treat the same conditions available to the home herbalist. It may be best to enjoy mistletoe's tradition of decorating our homes in the winter season, and reflecting on it's legendary promise of the return of new life in the spring.
Kissing under the mistletoe is one of the most widely known holiday traditions. Some trace this custom to the Greek who used mistletoe in the Saturnalia festival. Mistletoe also figures in a Scandinavian legend of Balder, god of Peace, who was slain with an arrow of mistletoe. He was restored to life, and mistletoe was then given into the keeping of the goddess of Love, and it was ordained that everyone who passed under it should receive a kiss, to show that the branch had become an emblem of love, and not of hate. Druids sent round their attendant youth with branches of the Mistletoe to announce the entrance of the new year. It is probable that the custom of including it in the decoration of our homes at Christmas, giving it a special place of honour, is a survival of this old custom.

I've had my old purse for years and years. It was just the right size for a small notebook (5×7) my phone, wallet, etc… I always carried a knitting bag as well. When I headed to work I'd bring my lunch in one of these bags and I was all set.
Then I had a baby. And I went back to work.
Suddenly I'm juggling a purse, a knitting bag, a pumping bag, a lunch bag, a diaper bag, and a baby clothes etc bag. Whoops, that's a lot of bags. Clearly I needed something bigger to control this craziness. I wanted a purse that'd hold ALL my stuff. I wanted lots of small pockets to keep the purse-bits from sinking to the bottom and I wanted a big interior to hold STUFF. I wanted a shoulder strap that'd let me carry this across my body so it won't slip off my shoulder while juggling the baby's stuff.
This is Nameste's Harlow bag. I figured a knitting bag would have all the small pockets I needed. Nameste makes high quality bags that I expect will last years and years, just like my old purse did.
It holds my lunch, knitting, and pump parts easily. Believe it or not, this is only their second biggest bag… I have my little things in the outside pockets
And my ID, pen, etc, in the inside pockets. There are even more pockets I'm not showing. It's wonderful! It's huge, still classy, and just right for my new life.
(You should know I bought this bag myself. Nameste did not ask me to review it. In fact they don't even know I'm doing this. So there.)
