When it comes to decoration, we know how hard it can be to find the perfect solution. In any room, the finished look needs to be perfect. Combining all the elements so it all comes together is the entire point, and we understand the importance of it.
Brick is such a fabulous look. Exposing it, however, can be problematic and expensive. Not to mention messy! We have found a selection of brick wall tiles that erase the need to strip any walls beyond the plasterboard. Simply tile and go, no mess or fuss.
These tiles are called Muralla. They come in a brick that has 5 colours through it to help achieve a more natural look, and it does work very well. We don't think you automatically know they are tiles. These have a very traditional brick look, and are available from Tile Mountain. They would go in any room from your kitchen, as a splash back, to your living room, as a feature wall. They are easy to install, and because they are tiles, they are easy to clean.
We think the whole brick look goes exceptionally well in bathrooms. It is a natural area of the home to want to tile due to the water in the room, Tiles offer a perfect balance between looking good and being extremely practical. These Sensestone tiles are made from porcelain and the light grey colour works brilliantly. They are light and look very modern and sleek.
A contemporary kitchen with a classic retro feel. The vintage metro tiles here really help take us back to a time when exposed painted brick was fashionable. These tiles offer a lovely overall finished look, as well as providing the perfect splash back to any sink. They work well with the wood worktop, helping the finished look be exactly what it is. They have an uneven edge which also adds to the overall effect. We love the simplicity of this image and how well the tiles work here.
From the kitchen to the bathroom, these tiles really do work everywhere. The white brick offers a clean retro look. It almost takes us back to the subways of New York. You get a real vibe and sense of a different time with this look. Bathrooms can get messy when used by a whole family and this is another reason tiles are an excellent option, because they are so easy to clean!
This room offers such a different look to the brick wall tiles than we have seen so far. They aren't light and they are not plain, yet they look utterly fabulous. The high gloss black finish of the tiles gives a sense of class and utter indulgence. The colours from the tiles are echoed perfectly in the mirror and the vanity table. The gold tiles are patterned which works brilliantly when surrounded with the plain black tiles. There is such a sense of opulence and elegance in this image. The boarder tiles add a glamorous finishing touch to the look and the overall impact is stunning.
The shower, of course, is very much always tiled. It makes perfect sense as they are water tight and easily cleaned. This bathroom has tiles on the walls as well as in the shower and they work really well. This is in fact a steams shower, that is totally enclosed. It has to be waterproof to stop damp. The tiles offer this protection. The grey colour helps give a modern look, whilst allowing light to bounce off of them and offer a sense of space.
Kitchens can either look homely and well used, or clean and minimalist. This one catches our eye because it has so much white, which we do associate with minimalism. Yet it manages to have lived in and used feel about it. The brightness of it certainly makes it feel open and the tiles add to this look. It is very simple with clean lines. The brick wall tiles help to break up these lines and add some visual texture.
A lot of bathrooms now are going for the mosaic tile effect and whilst it looks great, there is still something very appealing about the brick wall look. Subway tiles are named that simply for the reason that a lot of subways use tiles for easy maintenance. Here the tiles have been used wonderfully well and the effect looks amazing. They line the walls of the shower and the bathroom, tying the whole room together well. The dark grey with the white actually manages to achieve a sense of space in this small room.
This bathroom is the epitome of art deco luxury. With space everywhere and a black and white theme, the brick tiles were a necessity of design. We don't think any other tile work would have sufficed. The finished look is something out of the 1920s jazz era, and we think the tiles just give a lovely finished look.
If tiles don't seem to be an option for you, you can always just go for it and strip a wall. The look is stunning, as you can see here. Exposing actual brick definitely looks great, but so much work is involved. We hope we have have shown you enough brick tile options that you can make a decision based on the style you want.

The Tour de France captivated the world for three weeks in July. The stunning HD television images were beamed to more than 150 countries via a fleet of BMW R1200RT and R1200GS Adventure motorcycles. Millions across the globe were enchanted by magnificent scenery, picturesque villages and the day-to-day drama of the Lycra-clad riders racing for the greatest prize in cycling.
The BMW bikes were used by riders and cameramen with their panniers packed with the latest technological recording equipment. The motorcycle teams followed the race as it wound its way through France: the cameraman can be seen standing on the pegs as the competitors plunge down alpine passes, or ascend 6,000-foot (2,000-m) climbs. They know how to get in position to capture the fast sprinters as they hit the finish line at the end of a long stage. It is teamwork at its best with the R1200RT and R1200GS Adventure providing the perfect platform to get right in the thick of the action.
BMW motorcycles also provide the mobile platforms for the many photographers and radio networks, and could often be seen zipping in and out the peloton. These riders are not only skilled at riding but also need to be able to interact with the riders while getting up close to the action – without interfering with the race in any way. Without them the papers, magazines and various websites would not be able to publish the images that we are fortunate enough to see.
Things normally go very smoothly and accidents are rare for the traveling TV crews, but they do happen occasionally. This year an R1200RT-riding crew working for RTL (Europe's second largest radio and television network) found themselves down, but not out, during a stage. Fortunately, it was only a slow speed incident and the only damage done was to their own pride! Suffice to say that they were soon up and back into the action.
As the twilight settled over Paris, the peloton of the surviving riders burst on to the Champs-Elysees. At the end of 21 days the riders were into the final 45 miles (70 km). The City of Light was at its best as Chris Froome and his Sky Team led the riders onto one of the great boulevards of the world. The camera crew on the R1200GS Adventure was right next to them capturing the sheer delight in the faces of the victorious Froome and his teammates.
The road surface of the Champs-Elysees is far from smooth. The cobbles and the broken bitumen make it tough on the riders as they fly along at 40-45 mph (60-70 km/h). The GS Adventure was ideal for guiding the riders in the final stage. The compliant, long-travel suspension, smooth power delivery and dynamic stability enabled all the action to the beamed to the world without camera shake.
The Arc de Triomphe was bathed in light to celebrate the 100th edition of Le Tour as the riders and spectators took time to reflect on three weeks of this amazing French tradition, known the world over as the greatest bike race on the earth. For the BMW camera crews it was time to pack-up and prepare for the next sports event that they needed to beam to the world.
Of course, supporting the Tour de France is nothing new for BMW Motorrad, as this wonderful picture from over half a century ago shows. Here you can see a BMW R50 taking part as one of the official support vehicles from the 1959 Tour. This smooth running 26HP Touring Sports model came with a sprung solo saddle or optional dual seat pad. Famous for its thoroughly modern chassis and smooth running, the benefits are clear to see – especially for the journalist mounted on the rear who is able to take notes, even while riding pillion.

Travel Guide Asia South Korea Jeju Seogwipo
Keep Connected
South Korea is the world's most wired country and Internet cafes, known as PC bang, are ubiquitous through the country. Most customers are there for gaming but you're free to sit and type e-mails as well, typical charges are about ₩1,000 to ₩2,000/hour. Like anything, it may be more expensive in more "luxurious" places. Also, snacks and drinks are available for purchase in most PC bangs.
There is also a lot of free wifi available throughout South Korea. Just check for an unencrypted signal, although using open wifi hotspots is a potential security risk anywhere in the world so be careful what you use it for. Many coffee shops offer free wifi with no registration required.
See also International Telephone Calls
International dialing prefixes in South Korea vary by operator, and there is no standard prefix. Check with your operator for the respective prefixes. For calls to South Korea, the country code is 82. Emergency numbers include 112 (Polie) and 119 (Ambulance and Fire).
The country has three service providers: KT, SK Telecom and LG Telecom. They offer prepaid mobile phone services (pre-paid service, PPS) in South Korea. Incoming calls are free. South Korea uses the CDMA standard exclusively and does not have a GSM network, so most 2G (GSM) mobile phones from elsewhere will not work. Even quad-band GSM phones are useless. However, if you have a 3G phone with a 3G SIM card, you can probably roam onto the UMTS/W-CDMA 2100 networks of KT or SK Telecom; check with your home operator before you leave to be sure. 4G LTE has recently been made available in Korea; again, check with your provider. Mobile phone coverage is generally excellent, with the exception of some remote mountainous areas.
If you want to buy a prepaid SIM card, you should be able to get a prepaid SIM card at one of the olleh expat locations. However, you must have been in Korea for at least 3 days, and you must bring your passport. The fee for a prepaid SIM card is ₩5,500, and you have to charge at least ₩10,000 at the spot. You must also have a compatible phone. All modern iPhones (3GS and later) should work.
Korea Post is the national postal service and has fast, reliable and well-priced services. Postage for a postcard anywhere in the world is ₩370, while letters and packages start from ₩480. On their website you can find more about pricing details, as there are many different rates, depending on the zone (which country) you want to send it to, how much it weighs, wether it is air or ground service etc. Generally, post office hours are from Monday to Friday 9:00am to 6:00pm, though the larger central post offices tend to be open until 8:00pm and sometimes also on Saturday or even Sunday, usually only mornings. If you want to send package internationally, you might also check international companies like TNT, FedEx, UPS or DHL, as they have fast, reliable and competitively priced services as well.

Amending DTAAs buried black money route into India, says FM
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
New Delhi [India], Dec 30 (ANI): Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Friday said that India has signed the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) amendments with Singapore. Addressing a press conference here he said, "The amending DTAAs have buried route of black money into India, and there have been apprehensions that old provisions were being used for round-tripping and revisiting DTAAs was important to tackle black money." He further said that the government had earlier amended DTAA's with Mauritius and Cyprus, and with effect from 2019, Switzerland will also start giving the real time info on investments by India or Indian entities in Switzerland in 2018. "Must say that 2016 has been historic because three double taxation avoidance agreements, which provided routes to evade taxations have been blocked," added the minister. Adding to this, Arun Jaitley said that 2019 will see the entire capital gains tax flowing back to India. He said that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is adding high denomination notes every day, and from tomorrow all currency in recirculation will augment existing currency stock. "Demonetisation data is yet to be tabulated but the situation has normalized to quite an extent, crowds at banks have reduced significantly," added the minister. (ANI)

It was a girl crush of a different kind Sunday night (April 3) at the Academy of Country Music Awards when Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert and the duo of Dolly Parton and Katy Perry turned in the most riveting performances of the night.
It wasn't that they completely crushed the male competition, but Underwood's performances at award shows are have become must-see-TV for country music fans.
While some award show moments remain tightly-kept secrets up until the moment of the live telecast, Underwood had already announced that she'd be offering the first televised performance of her latest single, "Church Bells." And even if you'd heard the song on her Storyteller album, witnessing the production and her delivery was another experience altogether.
With dark, shadowy staging set setting a gothic tone, Underwood arrived onstage wearing a metallic-clad mini-dress and stiletto heels while her band slammed out the rhythms of the song written by Zach Crowell, Brett James and Hillary Lindsey. Underwood even grabbed some sticks to pound out rhythms on two drums. As always, though, it was her vocal delivery that ultimately won the night.
Miranda Lambert's vocal provided ownership of her performance of ZZ Top's classic rock standard, "Tush," although having Keith Urban and ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons accompanying her onstage certainly didn't hurt matters.
The song's musical riff is etched in the brain of any music fan — and pretty much anyone from the Lone Star State — so having Gibbons handling the slide guitar solo had to have been a special moment for Lambert, an East Texas native. Urban more than held his own in swapping solos with Gibbons, and you could tell that they weren't afraid to turn their amplifiers up to 11 to deliver the song.
And then there was the much-heralded pairing of Dolly Parton and Katy Perry. The moment might have felt even bigger had it not started with Parton accepting the ACM's Tex Ritter Award for her made-for-TV movie, Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors, although it's hard to quibble with the presentation. It is an awards show, after all.
Their vocal collaboration began, fittingly, with "Coat of Many Colors," but the sass and playfulness the crowd was expecting came with the two singers swapping lines on "Jolene" and "9 to 5." Perry completed the medley by kneeling down and bowing to Parton, an undisputed idol for any singer or songwriter.
Not to be outdone by the women, Tim McGraw also knows how to seize the moment at awards shows, and he did so Sunday with a performance of "Humble and Kind."
The song's uplifting lyrics were underscored by a procession of people representing a wide range of cultural diversity. Given recent events internationally and on the political front in the U.S., the song is a subtle message of how simple manners and a little humility can make a major difference in our lives.
Eric Church provided an unexpected moment by performing "Record Year," his musical homage to listening to vinyl albums, and tagging it with a tribute to several music legends who have died in recent months — the Eagles' Glenn Frey and Motorhead's Lemmy, along with David Bowie and Scott Weiland. After beginning the performance of his own song, Church went to a pair of turntables to offer short samples of rock favorites such as Bowie's "Fame" and "Changes."
For casual fans of country music, Little Big Town showed a slightly different side by emphasizing the vocals of Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook. Especially on awards shows, the emphasis is often on group harmonies or the female voices of Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman. Fairchild, in particular, has been the focus for the past year as the lead vocalist on the group's mega-hit, "Girl Crush."
Having Sweet and Westbrook in the vocal forefront was a welcome reminder that, yes, these two guys can really sing. The performance was catapulted to an even higher level with New Orleans whiz kid Trombone Shorty and some of his friends accenting the song with a funky second-line horn melody.
The first 30 minutes of the awards show was packed with music, with co-host Luke Bryan opening the ceremony with his new single, "Huntin', Fishin' and Lovin' Every Day." And at the moment he was saying, "My new co-host — Dierks Bentley," last year's co-host Blake Shelton ran onstage in a well-executed comedy bit.
Shelton followed with a performance of his latest single, "I Came Here to Forget," but Bentley finally got his chance to co-host and a later performance slot for his current Top 10 single, "Somewhere on a Beach."
In fact Bentley wasn't the only one singing a Top 10 single. Among the others following suit were Cole Swindell ("You Should Be Here"), Florida Georgia Line ("Confession"), Brett Eldredge ("Drunk on Your Love"), Old Dominion ("Snapback") and Chris Young with Cassadee Pope ("Think of You").
Among those opting for familiar material were Thomas Rhett ("Die a Happy Man") and Cam ("Burning House"). Kelsea Ballerini split the difference by moving from her first hit, "Love Me Like You Mean It," and her new single, "Peter Pan." On the latter, she was joined by Nick Jonas, who provided a guitar solo and a complementary vocal.
Chris Stapleton is still getting airplay at country radio stations with "Nobody to Blame," which won song of the year honors Sunday night, but he performed "Fire Away," a track from his breakthrough album, Traveller. At this point, Traveller has become one of the most-awarded albums in country music history.
Adhering to a time-honored tradition, other artists used the awards show to gain additional exposure for their new or recently-released singles. Among the brand new ones were Kenny Chesney's "Noise," Jason Aldean "Lights Come On" and Keith Urban's "Wasted Time," all from their upcoming albums, along with Charles Kelley's "Lonely Girl" and Sam Hunt's "Make You Miss Me."

Match that up with Josh's January 30th blog entry and you get the 12th of April.
Look at what the BSR is showing...
One might look at the above maps and think...how the heck is that going to signify a severe weather event when the upper level low is over Port Arthur, TX?!

So glad to be home!
I have spent the past week down in Tampa for both a speaking engagement at the Digital Wedding Forum convention as well as to help out at the Shootsac booth over at Imaging USA. It was an absolute blast, and I'll post more in detail about it tomorrow. I'm sorry for the lack of updates, as with all conventions, it's round the clock action and very little sleep! I'm recovering tonight and getting back to my routine tomorrow!

There's no need to feel rattled about adding a new baby to your health insurance policy, even if the process isn't as seamless as you might assume.
It seems natural that your insurer would know to add your little one to your coverage. After all, hasn't the company noticed the doctor and hospital bills related to the child's arrival?
But it doesn't work that way. You'll need to formally notify your carrier of the birth.
And you need to do it quickly or you could lose out on insurance benefits for the infant. Plus, you could wind up owing a penalty under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
Compare health insurance costs to find the best plan for you.
You must make contact
"You need to let your insurance company know. It's not going to happen automatically," says Joseph Touschner, senior health policy analyst at the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute's Center for Children and Families.
Depending on how you're insured, that will mean contacting the health plan director at your workplace, notifying your insurer directly or making the addition through your state's Obamacare health insurance exchange.
With work-based or Obamacare coverage, "If you're having a new baby, it's considered a life event, so you can enroll your bundle of joy as soon as it's born," rather than waiting for the next open enrollment period, says Joe Mondy, a spokesman for health insurer Cigna.
Under the Affordable Care Act, having a baby is one of the changes classified as a "qualifying life event" allowing you a special enrollment window to make coverage changes.
Other events that let you change your plan include moving to another state, marrying or divorcing.
Don't waste any time
Health insurance companies typically require that a newborn be added to a policy within 30 days of birth. The U.S. Department of Labor says enrolling the child within that time frame should provide coverage retroactive to the date of birth.
"A large, sophisticated carrier such as Cigna will recognize through your claims submissions that you are having a baby and reach out to you with the special services we provide expectant moms," including help enrolling the new family member, but it also is a good idea to contact your insurance company directly, Mondy says.
With Cigna, you can phone the company or add your baby to your coverage by using the company's website or its mobile app, he says.
Adding a child to an exchange plan
You can get up to 60 days to add a new baby to a plan purchased through a health exchange, but Touschner recommends you don't wait and that you promptly obtain a new plan that fits your family's changed circumstances.
As with so many aspects of the federally run health exchange that's serving most states, consumers encountered difficulties when they went to HealthCare.gov and tried to include newborns on their health insurance policies earlier this year.
The HealthCare.gov website had no mechanism to add new babies; consumers had to contact health insurers directly to make changes.
By February, the problem was addressed, allowing consumers to add an infant via a new "Report a life change" link within the federal marketplace.
"We are committed to ensuring that consumers have continuity of coverage if they experience a life circumstance such as a birth of a new child," the website's managers at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said in an emailed statement.
Essential benefits, potential penalties
Under health care reform, individual and small-group plans offered both within and outside the Obamacare insurance marketplace must cover a set of "essential health benefits," including maternity, newborn and pediatric care.
The plans must cover preventive care for children, such as immunizations, behavioral assessments and hearing screenings, at no cost to the family.
But, also under the Affordable Care Act, if you fail to sign your baby up for health insurance, you'll not only pay for medical services out of pocket, but you could also face a penalty for failing to provide insurance for your child.
For 2014, you could be required to pay $47.50 for each uninsured child and $95 for each uninsured adult in your household, up to $285 per family. Or you could owe 1 percent of your household income, if that is larger. Penalties are set to rise in the coming years.
By requiring that all family members have insurance, "we expect that it will improve children's health overall," Touschner says.

LANSING, Mich. — State Senator Curtis Hertel, Jr. (D–Meridian Township) and State Representative Jim Townsend (D–Royal Oak) have introduced a resolution proposing an amendment to the state constitution that would effectively ban the Legislature's ability to make bills "referendum proof."
According to the Michigan Constitution, bills that include spending cannot be officially contested by voters. The Republican majority has exploited this loophole in Michigan law by adding appropriations to some of their most controversial legislation — including Right to Work. This practice effectively shields the legislation from a potential ballot challenge.
"It's plain political cowardice," Sen. Hertel said. "Republicans have been using appropriations as an insurance policy against the will of the people. Whenever they believe Michiganders will disagree with their legislation, they take away the voters' power to change it."
Sen. Hertel suggests that this use of appropriations is dishonest.
"Some bills do require funding for implementation purposes. That's why we have an annual appropriations process and supplementals throughout the year," he said. "There's no reason to attach unnecessary spending to a piece of legislation."
A recent MIRS investigation revealed that some appropriations are not used to fund the applicable legislation. The Attorney General's office confirmed the findings, and specified that spending attached to Right to Work and a ban on college athlete unions either went back to the General Fund or was used for a different issue altogether.
"If my Republican colleagues trust the integrity of their own legislation and the will of the voters, they will be happy to close this unfortunate loophole," Sen. Hertel said.
This constitutional amendment will have to be put on the ballot by the Legislature and then approved by voters.

About This Class
Enroll to get started on your Lean Canvas project immediately!
We live in an age of unparalleled opportunity for innovation. With the advent of the Internet, cloud computing, and open source software, the cost of building products is at an all-time low. Yet, the odds of building successful startups haven't improved much.
Most startups still fail.
The number one reason startups fail is not because they fail to build what they set out to build, but because they spend too much time, money, and effort building the wrong product.
When entrepreneurs get hit by an idea they either rush towards building out their solution or rush towards finding investors. Both of these approaches take a lot of time and energy, and can be overwhelming. They are also backwards.
I attribute the entrepreneur's, often unbridled and singular, passion for the solution as the top contributor to this failure. People place too much emphasis on the original idea but studies conducted on product success and failure tell a different story. It has been statistically shown that most initial ideas don't work as anticipated. Rather, what separates successful entrepreneurs isn't starting with that perfect idea (or Plan A) but finding a plan that works before running out of resources. That last part is key.
This class will show you how.
The class is designed for entrepreneurs/intrapreneurs looking to launch a startup idea or bring a new product to market. It will show you how to get starting by first capturing your initial vision (or Plan A) and then how to bullet-proof this vision and begin the process of stress-testing your business model.
What you'll learn:
- How to capture your vision on a single page
- Refining your vision into a bullet proof business model
- Finding a compelling problem that is worth solving
- The critical components of different business models
- How to de-risk your plan through conversations
- What matters most to investors

Serena Williams made light work of Barbora Strycova to reach the Wimbledon final and stand one win away from a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title.
The American was just too powerful for the Czech in a 6-1 6-2 win that set up a final against Romania's Simona Halep.
Williams, chasing an eighth singles title here, dominated throughout against Strycova, who at 33 was the oldest Grand Slam semi-final debutant.
The American, 37, wrapped up victory with just 59 minutes on the clock.
"It feels good to be back in the final," said Williams, who was runner-up to Angelique Kerber last year and will be appearing in the grass-court showpiece for an 11th time on Saturday.
Williams is aiming to draw level with Australian Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 Grand Slam singles title and also win her first major title since becoming a mum in September 2017.
In Strycova, she was facing a player she had met three times before without dropping a set.
And she was not going to spoil that record here, establishing breaks in the fourth and sixth games before taking the set with her 44th ace of the championships.
While Williams is a firm favourite on Centre Court, the crowd wanted to see more of a match and cheered every half chance, net cord or winner that went Strycova's way.
But despite the support, the world number 54 seemed lost in the occasion and unable to turn to the serve-and-volley game that had served her so well in the dismantling of British number one Johanna Konta in the quarter-finals.
She raised her arms ironically in celebration at winning a rare long rally for 0-15 when Williams was serving for the match but soon found herself shaking hands at the net after the American delivered a forehand winner on her first match point.

Veterans advocates use cannabis to reduce suicide, PTSD
Twenty22Many plans suicide awareness march July 22
Fri., July 6, 2018
When Patrick Seifert read a 2013 report from the Veteran's Administration that said 22 U.S. veterans were committing suicide daily, it changed his world and inspired him to do more. Seifert, a veteran himself, owned a medical marijuana collective garden and safe access point called Rainier Xpress in Olympia. In 2016, he created Twenty22Many, a 501(c) 3 nonprofit that advocates for veterans with PTSD, promotes holistic therapies, alternative medicine and education, and raises awareness of veteran suicide. Its ultimate goal is to reduce the rate of suicides of veterans and active duty military. Seifert also uses the resources of his shop. Sometimes, he said, veterans come in seeking the right product to try and wean themselves off of pharmaceuticals and even alcohol. He knows what they're going through because he also has first-hand experience with the healing potential of cannabis. He was in the Marines during the first Gulf War, but didn't experience direct combat. But he does have PTSD due to sexual abuse as a child, and said cannabis has been able to help him overcome his demons. Seifert said he can often tell if a customer has PTSD just by looking at them. He knows that many veterans are scared and confused. They've heard that marijuana can help PTSD, but they're not sure if it could be purchased or prescribed for their situation. There is also a fear that their military health benefits could be jeopardized if they are caught with cannabis. After creating the foundation, Seifert and other volunteers began to ask Washington lawmakers if PTSD could be added to the list of qualifying health conditions for medical marijuana. State Sen. Adam Cooper and then-Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles, now on the King County Council, drafted a bill to get PTSD listed as a qualifying condition, then handed it over to Sen. Steve Hobbs, who was the Senate version's primary sponsor. Hobbs, a major in the U.S. Army National Guard, and commander of Joint Force Headquarters, Washington Army National Guard, was happy to help. "I'm a veteran: I served in Iraq and Kosovo," Hobbs said. "I have a lot of friends who were involved in service and I had the background." Seifert said he appreciated that several veterans came to Olympia to testify before the Legislature when the bills were discussed, but said he would have liked them to have been given more time. "Talk about disrespectful, these guys were given two minutes to talk," he said. The bill was eventually approved in 2015, and Washington became the 11th state to list PTSD as a qualifying condition. As of 2017, 23 states, two territories and one city list PTSD as a qualifying condition. Interestingly, Colorado, where recreational and medical cannabis are both legal, has not taken that step. Hobbs said even though cannabis remains illegal at a federal level, he doesn't expect crackdowns on veterans using cannabis or removal of their benefits. A Continuing effort Twenty22Many is run solely by volunteers, who provide many services including free yoga, kickboxing, arts and crafts, meetings and cinema night for veterans. It also runs a support line for suicidal vets. Although the support line volunteers aren't mental health professionals, Seifert said some veterans are more eager to talk to someone with military experience who can better relate to what they're feeling. The non-profit plans to bring in a counselor to better train the phone line volunteers. "If a vet ever says 'I'm going to kill myself,' we do everything we can to get them to a hospital," Seifert said. Volunteers have also been reaching out to cannabis retailers around Washington for support. So far, about 40 medically-endorsed locations offer discounts and have agreed to put up stickers in their windows saying they're part of the "Support Depot" program. This acknowledges that the store owners and staff are willing to provide a safe place and resources for veterans. Any veterans will be given a brochure sharing local, state and national info for any needs, and they'll also be connected with a volunteer from the local community. If a veteran wants cannabis products, they'll receive advice on what can help them relax or get them elevated and motivated. Twenty22Many now even has its own branded product: the "22 Rescue Vape Cartridge," which provides a recommended blend of cannabis for daytime use and nighttime use. Seifert said the cartridge produces less of a "couch-lock" feeling and something more energizing. He and others are still collecting data to perfect the pen, but veterans have told Seifert that just having this tool with them makes them feel better in the event of a PTSD episode. Right now the vape cartridge is available in 20 Washington retailers, and Seifert hopes to expand its availability soon. More assistance needed Twenty22Many has about 20 reliable volunteers but Seifert expects up to 500 people to take part in its fourth-annual PTSD and Veteran's Suicide Awareness March in Olympia at 10 a.m. July 22. The march is intended to build support and unity. Sen. Hobbs said he attends every year unless he's on active duty. The non-profit plans other fund-raisers and awareness events throughout the year. Volunteers will be at Hempfest in Seattle in August, and Seifert plans to visit Washington, D.C. to talk to national lawmakers about the benefits of cannabis. Twenty22Many volunteers have been awarded "volunteers of the year" twice from the City of Olympia for their continuing efforts in keeping parks and sidewalks clean. The organization also provides a safe haven and shelter for homeless veterans, spouses and pets.

Online Streaming Deal Could Mean All Homer Simpson, All The Time
After a fierce bidding war, FX spinoff cable network FXX won the rights to make all seasons of TV's longest-running scripted show, The Simpsons, available for online streaming. It may be the largest TV syndication deal ever. Anthony Breznican, a senior writer at Entertainment Weekly, says the deal shows how networks are trying to capitalize on the "binge watching" trend. The deal gives FXX the right to air more than 500 episodes of The Simpsons, now in its 25th season on Fox.

When I first came to yoga, I'd already spent well over a decade practicing self-criticism. I remember feeling ashamed of who I was as early as age five. These thoughts flooded my mind and controlled my actions. It felt like this inner critic was as much a part of me as my beating heart. I didn't ever consider that I might learn to see and feel beyond that monster in my mind… until yoga entered my life.
Svadhyaya (the Sanskrit word for self-study) is the practice of looking within ourselves to observe our habits and patterns. It can help us learn the ways in which our mind colors our perception of life. Additionally, it can help us recognize that our true Self (atman) is different than how we think of ourselves… atman is so much more.
Whether we're conscious of it or not, most of the time we're moving through our lives with the sense that our body, our mind, and our life roles (a daughter or son, a sibling, a partner, a lover, a parent, a friend, an artist, a teacher, a yoga practitioner, a nice person, a smart person, an anxious person, a depressed person) are us… define us… determine who we are at our core. Yoga teaches us that we're more than that. Yes, we may relate to all or some of those things, but we exist beyond these roles, titles, and beliefs. And, when we lose sight of what is underneath, or we cling to these identities too tightly, we can run into trouble.
More recently, I've been reflecting on a relatively fresh, traumatic experience that left me reeling for a couple of months. It was an event which I had a tremendously difficult time processing and releasing. It's not often that I move into a "freeze" stress response (I'm more of a "flight" kind of gal), but, in this case, I did. It was terrifying not being able to mobilize, and to feel more-or-less helpless in the situation. Consequently, I now have a profound personal understanding and empathy for those who frequently find themselves in this state.
Additionally, I've now come to understand, in part, why this experience was so tough to overcome… why it seemed to have this incredible power over me: ego identification. I was clinging to my perceived roles and identities.
"I'm strong, I'm discerning, I'm capable, I'm a good teacher, I'm a good leader, I'm a good care-taker, I'm reliable…" the list goes on. The traumatic event threatened each of these beliefs. At least, that was the story I was telling myself. And, that's what affected me so overwhelmingly. That, is in large, why I felt stuck and in such agony.
It wasn't until I applied the practice of svadhyaya, that I began to see the inner workings of my mind, and these narratives, and it was then that the dark cloud I was enveloped in began to dissipate. Recognizing my previously unconscious patterns created room for me to grow and evolve within the experience.
Again, yoga teaches that our atman, our true Self, lies underneath our ego identifications, or the roles we play in our lives, our physical body, our habits, our pain, and the inner-critic. At our core there is deep peace, boundless compassion, kindness, and joy. There is a felt sense that we are intimately connected with something bigger than ourselves. When we effectively look within ourselves we can see and feel this truth, and it's this realization that liberates us from the chains of discontent and suffering.
This is the heart of yoga.
I'd like to share a corpse pose (savasana) technique, which I learned from my late teacher, Michael Stone. It has consistently proven itself as a potent and valuable part of my svadhyaya practice.
Savasana Meditation
- Begin lying down on your back, with your legs a bit wider than your hips and your arms out the sides, palms facing upward.
- Take some deep breaths to begin, and some audible sighs through your mouth. Then let go of shaping your breath, and allow your body to breathe you.
- Receive gravity. Feel the gentle weight of gravity invite your body to settle more deeply into the arms of earth.
- What might it feel like, just for right now, to let go of the role of being a daughter or a son? A sister or a brother? A mother or a father? What might it feel like to let go of being a friend? A lover? A partner? A student? A teacher? What might it feel like, just for this moment to let go of being an artist? A caretaker? A yoga practitioner? What does it feel like to not have to be anything or anyone right now?
- Explore this practice of letting go for a few moments, then let go of that too, and continue savasana for another 10 minutes.
Deep bow in service and gratitude,

On Sunday, November 17, 2019, at approximately 5:41 p.m. deputies from the Blaine County Sheriff's Office responded to a single-vehicle crash on State Highway 75 near Cottonwood Creek Circle, just north of Hailey, Idaho.
Jeffrey C. Browne, age 50 of Hailey, was identified as the driver and sole occupant of a 2004 blue Jeep Grand Cherokee. The investigation determined that Browne was traveling southbound on Highway 75 when he vehicle left the roadway south of Cottonwood Creek Circle, crashed through a fence, and high-centered on some bushes.
The first deputy on the scene found Browne unresponsive with the engine still running and quickly broke out the front driver's window to gain access to the victim and ignition. Deputies provided medical aid until Emergency Medical Services personnel from Wood River Fire and Rescue arrived and took over treatment. Browne was transported to St. Luke's Wood River Medical Center by ground ambulance and later pronounced deceased. The cause of the crash has not been determined at this time and remains under investigation. Damage to the vehicle was estimated to be substantial. Browne was not wearing a seatbelt.

What Can A Fitness Assessment Really Tell You?
A fitness assessment can tell you valuable information about what you need to do in order to get a breakthrough in your results. Read more on how here.
Have you ever gotten into really good shape, only to feel frustrated when you inevitably hit a plateau?
To put it another way, have you ever trained for an event and wondered what you needed to do next in order to keep improving?
Do you need a new program? Maybe,maybe not at all.
You can find out what you need to do next in order to break through your training plateaus.
How exactly do you do that?
Using fitness assessments and testing can help tell you just that. All tests aren't built the same though.
Let's take a look what sort of information you can look to gain from a fitness assessment.
What Makes Your Fitness Assessment Trustworthy?
Our number one problem is something we just mentioned up top, not all tests are built the same.
To start, we have to assume two things about the tests that you are taking:
- The tests being performed are valid or, test what we think they are testing.
- Tests should be consistent and repeatable by other testers.
Validity can get pretty deep. There are a number of ways that a test can be valid including, looking like it is a good test. There may be a comparison of how a chosen assessment stacks up alongside other test of that same thing. Some tests are actually designed to not look like a test at all.
In order for tests to be reliable, testing conditions should be noted and kept as consistent as possible in retests. If you run a mile on a hard surface like a cement sidewalk, you'll be faster than say if you ran that same mile on loose grass. You wouldn't be able to put as much force in the ground.
What Can A Fitness Assessment Really Tell You?
The most obvious thing that an assessment can tell you is if you are good at what is being tested. If you perform a 40 yard sprint, you will find out how good you are at running 40 yards.
There are a number of things that you can test to find out.
Tests can measure things like:
- Speed or how fast you can cover a certain distance
- Low-Speed Strength or the heaviest weight you can move slowly
- High-Speed Strength or the heaviest weight you can move quickly
- Endurance, either locally, like how many bicep curls you can do in a minute or systemically like in a distance race
- How flexible you are in a given area of your body
- Body composition, how much body fat, bone and lean mass you carry and where
"Good" is a relative term when you're talking about how you did on a test. It seems like it's a little vague for our purposes. How can you tell if you really did well? You need to compare yourself against people like you.
This comparison data is known as normative data. Normative data is basically a snapshot of what the average person is like at a given point in time. Some of this data is made widely available. Some populations have not been studied extensively.
Here's an example of some normative data from the NSCA.
That link above covers vertical jump, pro-agility run, 10 yard dash and 40 yard dash for females.
There are ways to gain more insight from your test results beyond that and find out exactly where you need to improve.
How A Fitness Test Can Tell You What You Need to Work On
Let us take a minute to consider that 40 yard sprint I mentioned earlier. Coach Mann has a great article on elitefts.com covering why the NFL uses the 40-yard dash at the combine.
To summarize his article the 40-yard dash can be broken down into a 10,20 and 40 yard split:
- 10-yards-short distance
- Shown to be greatly affected by how strong you are in the squat relative to your body weight. Until you reach about twice bodyweight, if you can increase your squat, you will see improvement here.
- 20-yards-medium distance
- Shown to be affected by improvements in explosive strength or how fast you generate strength. The hang clean is an exercise often used for this. Sound technical improvement at the right speed will help you see improvements in your 20.
- 40-yards
- This is your top end speed. To reach this you have to be good at the things we've already mentioned. You must be strong enough to maintain good body position. You must also have good mechanics and technique in order for you to stay at your top end speed.
- If you are already doing well with your 10 and 20 yard sprint, overspeed training may be utilized.
This is one example of how we can look at test information on something like the 40 yard dash and apply that to your training. You can directly see how if someone did not perform well in one aspect of the test, like the 10 yard split, we might change their training to see improvement.
This same idea can be applied to several different scenarios. There may be a test that predicts how likely you are to be good at another sport skill or general life activity. Improving your balance can be very important for someone who is likely to be hurt by falling.
Testing can provide a lot of useful insight in the right context.
Extra Credit Action Steps:
If you're extra curious on what sort of insight you can pull from testing data, I recommend that you view this NSCA talk from Bryan Mann, PhD, CSCS, RSCC*D.
Coach Mann has been involved in strength and conditioning for around 20 years. He has developed a deep comprehension of how data can be used to improve performance in people of all ages and abilities.

In a radio interview with Victor on HOT Fm's Zed To Zed Part 4, Keisha made an official announcement that she was officially changing her name to 'Keisha Chilufya'.
When asked about the reasons for the change, she said it's time for a switch up, maturity and growth. She also pointed out that the change would make it easier for people to access her on different platforms as Keisha Chilufya.
During the same interview, Victor asked Keisha to do a rap of the song she had done for Abel Chungu's latest album but mentioned that he was aware that Keisha was 'off rap'.
It was not mentioned how long Keisha has been off rap for, or how long she plans to be for. She did however during the same interview mention that she has something new and big coming, so she is definitely still doing music.
What are your thoughts on Keisha Chilufya's name change and how do you feel about Keisha quitting rap?

Posted Wednesday, September 5th, 2018
Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp and Pequannock Police Chief Brian Spring have announced that a guilty plea has been entered by Sergiu Jitcu, 39, of Saddle Brook, regarding charges of computer criminal theft at Chilton Medical Center in Pompton Plains.
On Nov. 8, 2017, the Prosecutor's Office was contacted by the Chilton director of security who reported a theft of computer equipment from the facility by the defendant, who had been an Information Technology employee at Chilton Medical Center.
The Morris County Prosecutor's Office Specialized Crimes Division was advised that Chilton Medical Center received information from a Wisconsin resident who reported that he had purchased a computer hard drive on eBay from the Mr. Jitcu and that the computer hard drive contained personal identifying information of individuals who may have been treated at the hospital.
The Prosecutor's Office commenced an investigation and, ultimately, executed a search warrant on the defendant's residence and motor vehicles, which resulted in the seizure of computer equipment and additional items belonging to Chilton Medical Center.
Subsequent investigation has revealed that at least one computer storage medium, which was sold on eBay by the defendant, contained data or data bases with personal identifying information of patients. On or about Dec. 15, 2017, Chilton Medical Center sent notifications to patients, identified as potentially affected by the theft, advising them of the incident.
The defendant pled guilty to the following offenses — based on the criminal activity between Jan. 1, 2015 and Nov. 8, 2017:
Sentencing of the defendant is scheduled for Oct. 26 before Supetrior Court Judge Stephen J. Taylor.
Prosecutor Knapp would like to thank the Morris County Prosecutor's Office Specialized Crimes Division, Financial Crimes Unit, Pequannock Township Police Department, Saddle Brook Police Department and Chilton Medical Center, whose efforts contributed to the investigation and prosecution of this case.
Inquiries should be directed to Public Information Officer Peter DiGennaro at [email protected] or 973-829-8159.

Australia's Herald Sun newspaper is defending a cartoon depicting U.S. tennis star Serena Williams having a temper tantrum that many prominent voices have deemed egregiously racist.
Herald Sun editor Damon Johnston said in a statement Tuesday that Mark Knight's cartoon "had nothing to do with gender or race."
"A champion tennis player had a mega tantrum on the world stage, and Mark's cartoon depicted that," the editor said. "It had nothing to do with gender or race. [T]his was about a bad sport being mocked."
Mr. Knight's cartoon published Monday showed Ms. Williams stomping on her tennis racket with a baby's pacifier nearby, and the umpire asking Japan's Naomi Osaka if she could "just let her win?" In the cartoon, Ms. Williams, who is black, is depicted with a stocky build, frizzy hair and exaggerated lips, while Ms. Osaka, a dark-haired Japanese woman whose father is originally from Haiti, is depicted as a skinny blonde woman.
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, rapper Nicki Minaj, and comedian Kathy Griffin are among the celebrities who have outrage outrage over the drawing.
The Melbourne-based newspaper issued an editorial Tuesday saying the backlash proved the world had "officially gone mad."
"There is a valid and urgent need to continue the march toward true and real racial and sexual equality in all walks of life," the board wrote. "But those who seek to prosecute their antiracial agenda by identifying racism in the Knight cartoon — where it does not exist — completely miss the point of the drawing. It rightly mocked Williams for her dummy-spit and unsporting performance, which ultimately robbed Osaka of her chance to truly celebrate a terrific, inaugural triumph against a woman she described as her personal hero."

Before you know it they're out the door. But wait! There's more!
Modern helicopter parents have enjoyed a wonderful decade. Thanks to texting and Facebook, they have been able to extend the high-touch years of parenting another half a lifetime. So much so that it's no surprise to see 25-year-olds texting mom for dinner ideas and dads DMing digital money over Twitter.
According to Dr. Friedemann Schaub, physician and award-winning author of "The Fear and Anxiety Solution," those overprotective, controlling parents may be doing more harm than good.
"Studies show that when children get too much surveilling, they lose a normal stage of development — the stage of becoming independent and making their own mistakes."
In his counseling practice, Schaub sees a lot of students who are pressured by parents who want to stay too closely in touch.
Schaub has a question for these parents: "When you're controlling and hovering, are you really doing it for the safety of your child, or because you can't deal with your anxiety about controlling your own life?"
Schaub says when he was in college, it was all about being free and trying new things. Now, however, he sees a lot of students who talk about wanting closeness.
"Especially from young females, they say they want to be close with their roommates, or their group of friends. They lose themselves in repeating high school drama, like 'She didn't text me!'''
Gina DeLapa, author of the "Stuff You Already Know" books, served as a career counselor at Grand Valley State University in Michigan.
"I can understand why parents would want to be involved: College is by far the biggest investment students will ever make, yet nobody's teaching the students how to keep their heads above water, let alone how to maximize their return," she says.
Dr. Rachel Annunziato is an associate professor at Fordham University's psychology center. In her research, she studies children who are organ transplant recipients. Their parents do everything for them. When they want to leave home it gets tricky, because letting go could be a life-or-death matter.
"Interventions by medical staff and counselors can help these kids," she says, noting that it's a parallel situation at Fordham, where a team can help college students adjust: the dean, their advisor and the staff of the dorm. Annunziato herself counsels new students.
Says Annunziato: "If I hear from a concerned parent, I suggest they tell the student to reach out. We mention that the parent is taking the opportunity away from the student to learn how to initiate the contact."
Tips for kids
- Make use of all available college resources — freshman advisors, faculty and staff with extensive training. They can troubleshoot common problems.
- Texting, Facebook, and WhatsApp are there to make you always feel connected, not trapped. "The challenge for the young adult is to say 'I need to live my own life, can you back off with the texts please?'" says Schaub. "It's a rite of passage to have a boundary with your parents."
Tips for parents
- Trade enabling for empowering. If you step in and do the hard work for your kids, you rob them of the role that is rightfully theirs. Better to encourage students to use the resources around them than make those resources unnecessary.
- Be a mentor, not a micromanager. "Intentionally and gradually release the apron strings," says DeLapa. "It is easier to step in and do, but gradually increasing responsibilities and stepping out of the way is, in the end, best for everyone."

"Now it should be decided forever that Pakistan's survival, protection, sovereignty, progress, prosperity and respect in the international community depends upon strengthening democracy in Pakistan."
Nawaz Sharif – Prime Minister of Pakistan
In the May 11 general elections, Nawaz Sharif became Pakistan's newest elected prime minister. For the first time in the country's 65-year history, a democratically elected government has handed over power after completing its term and holding a fair election. The transfer of power is indeed a successful continuity of democracy in Pakistan. However, the country's economy remains in a state of confusion, with expanding budget, energy, education, employment, fiscal development, and public deficit problems. The former government did not have a clear direction to overcome these financial challenges, and they will now become a top concern for the new government.
"Key factors that affected all sectors of the economy are poor governance and corruption in the country. One of another most important negative factor is decline in investment to GDP ratio from 20pc to 13pc, which is the one of the root cause of the slowdown in GDP grow".
Sartaj Aziz, Economist and Former Finance Minister
Sharif is the first Pakistani leader to serve three terms. He was elected prime minister in 1990 and 1997. Sharif has been viewed as a pro-business conservative, who comes from a Pakistani business family that made its wealth in the steel industry, and has widespread support from the business community . Sharif believes that his strong mandate will give him a chance to improve Pakistan's limping economy by solving problems such as a fiscal meltdown, jobs, power and gas outages, circular debt, inflation, bad governance, corruption, lawlessness, and spillover from the war in neighboring Afghanistan.
"I do actually see a lot of resolve. They have a very strong mandate."
Werner Liepach, Country Director – Asian Development Bank
Many economists believe that in the last 5 years, government economic policies were a complete failure. Industrial growth has been hanging near zero percent, the investment rate has declined, inflation is high (double digits for the last 5 years), industrial growth is badly affected due to the energy crisis, causing companies to struggle (how to run businesses without a reliable source of electricity?), foreign exchange reserves are declining, budget deficits average seven percent of GDP, and public debt has doubled. The table below shows some comparisons of the Pakistani economy over the last decade:
|Pakistan Economic Overview
|Year (2002-2007)
|Year (2008-2013)
|Economic growth
|6 %
|3 %
|People living below the poverty line
|30 %
|40 %
|Fiscal deficit
|4% of GDP
|7% of GDP
|Public debt
|Rs. 4.5 Trillion
|Rs. 15 Trillion
|Rupee Value (against the US dollar)
|Rs. 60
|Rs. 100
"Economic Policies of the government were total failure! Government has shown lack of interest in resolving economic issues of the country. The country is facing Rs. 1200 to Rs. 1400 billion loss annually in term of revenue collection due to ongoing energy crisis that was created artificially in order to introduce rental power plants. During five years, foreign direct investment remained at lowest ebb, food inflation increases manifold, budget deficit has gone up and economic growth remained at the lowest side. Never in the history of this country has the nation seen such a fiscally irresponsible government."
Umer Ayub Khan, Former State Minister for Finance and Economic Affairs
Pakistan International Airlines, Pakistan Steel Mills, and Pakistan Railways, the major public sector enterprises, have also not performed well over the last five years. The government lacks transparency in hiring of staff and officials in public sector entities, leading to huge financial losses.
"Pakistan's economic situation was never so bad in 65 years, as it was in last five years. Country's economic growth at average remained at lower side of three percent; unemployment increases resulting in higher poverty rate."
Dr. Ashfaque Hasan Khan, Economist
There is still a long struggle ahead when it comes to engaging the government to revive the Pakistani Economy. Sharif's administration has to address economic concerns and map out a strategy with business community and international support to address country's economic problems by creating an environment of wealth creation through investment, alleviating poverty, increasing the annual GDP growth rate, moderating inflation, stablizing the rupee, managing the debt, promoting entrepreneurship for youth and women, encouraging human development, promoting peace through business, generating employment, improving corporate governance for public sector enterprises, and ensuring tax and revenue collection. It is a difficult task, one which can only be carried out with the continued support of the business community.

Where are the basics of the Platform build documented?
In Platform Build.
Does that Platform Build document describe the so-called Production Build?
No, not exactly. It forms the heart of the production build, but there are other things done in the production build. Those are described in Platform Build Automated. So in general, anyone wanting to learn or reproduce our build should first read Platform Build and then read Platform Build Automated.
Trigger builds manually
The builds can be triggered manually or scheduled to run at a specified time. The build jobs are available at releng JIPP instance. We use I-build for integration builds. These jobs can be directly triggered after logging in or can be scheduled by modifying the configuration of the specific job.
Syntax of cron consists of 5 fields separated by TAB or whitespace as below:
MINUTE Minutes within the hour (0–59) HOUR The hour of the day (0–23) DOM The day of the month (1–31) MONTH The month (1–12) DOW The day of the week (0–7) where 0 and 7 are Sunday, 1 is Monday, 2 is Tuesday, 3 is Wednesday, 4 is Thursday, 5 is Friday and 6 is Saturday
What other tasks does Platform Releng do?
Other tasks are described in several other documents, each has various degrees of accuracy or being up do date:
- miscellaneous releng tasks
- releng checklists
- updating branding
- publishing to Maven Central
- build cleanup
Are there documents that Platform committers should read or be aware of?
The following are good, though some sections may need to be brought up to date.
- the Eclipse Projects rhythm
- incrementing version numbers
- automated (production) testing
- performance testing
What are common build problems?
Build failure with "Cannot satisfy dependency:"
Typical error message :
[ERROR] Cannot resolve project dependencies: [ERROR] Software being installed: org.eclipse.equinox.sdk.product 4.9.0.qualifier [ERROR] Missing requirement: org.eclipse.equinox.serverside.sdk.feature.group 3.15.0.v20180803-1236 requires 'org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu; org.eclipse.equinox.server.p2.feature.group [1.5.0.v20180710-1609,1.5.0.v20180710-1609]' but it could not be found [ERROR] Cannot satisfy dependency: org.eclipse.equinox.sdk.feature.group 3.15.0.v20180803-1236 depends on: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu; org.eclipse.equinox.serverside.sdk.feature.group [3.15.0.v20180803-1236,3.15.0.v20180803-1236] [ERROR] Cannot satisfy dependency: org.eclipse.equinox.sdk.product 4.9.0.qualifier depends on: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu; org.eclipse.equinox.sdk.feature.group 0.0.0 [ERROR]
Problem Analysis and solution:
This happens when we have nested features, in this case we have the following features nested. org.eclipse.equinox.server.p2 org.eclipse.equinox.serverside.sdk org.eclipse.equinox.server.p2 org.eclipse.equinox.sdk In the above case org.eclipse.equinox.server.p2 got modified and other feature did not recognize that. This causes comparator to replace other three features with baseline and causing above problem. Can be rectified by updating forceQualifierUpdate.txt file present alongside those features. Also raised Bug 537718 against Tycho to address this

Problem Analysis and solution:
We use an eclipse instance for generating different build reports. This instance is created by adding org.eclipse.pde.api.tools, org.eclipse.releng.build.tools.feature.feature.group, org.apache.derby.core.feature.feature.group and org.eclipse.wtp.releng.tools.feature.feature.group to eclipse platform product. If you see the above error message it implies that one of the above feature requires higher version of eclipse platform product. This errors happens because the p2director cannot upgrade through commandline. This can be fixed by changing the base dir and base label here
How to promote a failed build due to base builder creation failure
For this you'll need shell account During the build we create
eclipse build at https://build.eclipse.org/eclipse/builds/4I/siteDir/eclipse/downloads/drops4/(/shared/eclipse/builds/4I/siteDir/eclipse/downloads/drops4/)
repo at https://build.eclipse.org/eclipse/builds/4I/siteDir/updates/(/shared/eclipse/builds/4I/siteDir/updates/) and
equinox build at https://build.eclipse.org/eclipse/builds/4I/siteDir/equinox/drops/(/shared/eclipse/builds/4I/siteDir/equinox/drops/)
