Chances are, if you're about to have a baby, cutting the umbilical cord will be somewhere on your radar but you may not have given it much thought, other than who will be doing the cutting. The most common way to cut your baby's umbilical cord is to clamp the cord with a plastic clamp – kind of like an awkward plastic peg – before cutting with scissors. But did you know there is a more natural, softer alternative?
After a baby is born, the baby is still attached to the placenta by the umbilical cord. The placenta has been delivering your baby's life blood throughout your pregnancy through that incredible cord, packed full of stem cells, red and white blood cells, even disease-fighting T-cells to ensure your baby can fight off any disease or infection as they develop. Traditionally, the cord was cut fairly soon after birth – with health professionals citing reasons like delaying could cause health risks, or that there was no benefit to delaying. But in recent years, research is showing that delaying cord clamping until after the cord has finished pulsing the last of its blood from the placenta to your baby can offer significant health benefits like increasing the baby's iron stores (source) and may actually allow more stem cells to be delivered from the mother to the fetus (source).
So – once you've given your baby the best start possible by delaying cord clamping, you are ready to proceed. You do not need to go the mainstream route of the hard plastic peg on your soft baby's skin, that gets caught up in your baby's clothing – you can choose something far softer, easier to use, more personal and special. This is a significant part of the birthing process for your child, so why not honour this moment.
These umbilical cord ties from Aotearoa Gemstones, photographed by Emily Holdaway of Raising Ziggy, are made with a cotton or hemp braided cord and tied off with a small New Zealand stone – Pounamu, Serpentine, Aotea or Rhodonite. Not only will your baby's birth be connected to Aotearoa New Zealand in this deeply special way, it can also become your baby's first taonga or treasure – it can easily be turned into a necklace or bracelet for your child to wear later on. Because the braid is soft and the stone is small, this kind of cord tie will be easy to manage while dressing and moving your baby around, and the umbilical cord will heal and fall off nice and quickly.

Robert Franklin Eastman, an Albany-bred television professional who earned six daytime Emmy nominations for "The Guiding Light," died on Thursday at his home in Stillwater. He was 57. According to his paid obituary, the cause was an enlarged heart.
Raised in Albany, Eastman studied television at Ithaca College and, after graduating, went to work for CBS in New York City. Working up from an entry-level job, he soon became a studio supervisor and then then technical director for "The Guiding Light." He was the all-time longest-running technical director on the show — "an amazing feat accomplished with his seamless negotiating skills."
In 2005, Eastman moved from New York City to Saratoga County, where he lived with his wife, Lindsay Harvey Eastman. He served on the Saratoga Lake Association Board (as member, secretary and president) and the Stillwater Community Center Board (as member and interim president). He also worked as lead director of ushers at the Saratoga Race Course.
Besides his work on "The Guiding Light," Eastman created Reel Life Production Company, working on newscasts, game shows and assorted other productions, including New Year's Eve in Times Square. He also founded the aerial-photography company Ground Aerial LLC.
A memorial service has been scheduled for 5 p.m. Thursday, May 12, at Christ Church at 15 West High St. in Ballston Spa. A private burial at St. John's Lutheran Cemetery in Albany will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to Fight Animal Cruelty Today (at P.O. Box 4045 Queensbury, NY 12804).

What the world needs today is a united Europe, not as a family but as a community under similar geographical, historical and political conditions. A Brexit has been tested and we see the result of a more split unity for the most important world issues in society. I might think that British senitivity was clearly pervaded by its strong reliance on the United States, where the entire British political system suffered from the equally deprived US line of world policy. The European Community should hereby establish stronger forms of cooperation with world economies in Asia. Europe will then stand as strong as Russia as superpower, with an inhuman market that does not need much more than its fundamental valuation to utterly handle the world's top rankings today.
Brexit and the question of how naive can you be as a political leader?

Kingdom Animalia Poster
How much information about the Animal Kingdom can you fit on the back of a dorm room door and still have it be visually inviting and comprehensible. This companion poster for McGraw-Hill's best-selling Zoology textbook pretty much answers that question. In fact this poster covers the entire Animal Kingdom in a fair amount of detail and is one of the items I show that people often ask if they can keep.

u can just buy the ic for like $6 instead of paying $30 for the whole thing.....
If I get Arduino board do I take the microcontroller off the board and then use it or do I have to use the whole board Answered
I know its a stupid question but I am new to programming and I don't know that much. So after I program the microcontroller do I have to use the whole board or can I just pop the microcontroller out and use it like that? I will be using The Arduino Duemilanove Thanks
Yes, you can absolutely remove the microcontroller and use it in other setups. This is actually desirable because in most implementations you don't need the USB controller or headers on all the pins, power switching, etc.
Wiring up a basic Arduino board is relatively simple if you can follow a schematic. Even easier, you could get a http://www.surplusgizmos.com/Dorkboard-Kit-Arduino-Compatible_p_1790.html or a similar kit, which run in the $7-$10 range. Assemble and plug in...
One last question is the chip rewriteable or can I keep changing the program? thanks
thank you both I just wasn't sure I really apperciate it .
You can do it however you like. It will work without the board, provide that the components it needs to run (resistors, etc.) are in the circuit. I like to use the blueboard its on, because it makes a great mounting point, and protoboards are availible that will allow you to snap on a hole pcb with circuits on it.

Eilish Gilligan is very much setting herself up for a prosperous 2018 if her latest work is anything to go by. "Creature of Habit" is another well-fitting piece of music in the Melbourne vocalist's growing body of work; dabbling between the ethereal and ambient vibes of past work and plunging right into the deep end of the dream-pop spectrum on this number demonstrates Gilligan's playfulness as a producer and musician, as well as boldness injected into each step she takes forward.
"Creature of Habit" feels larger than Gilligan's previous releases and is perhaps a great indicator of the levels she's looking to boost up to more in the New Year. Definitely worth 3:21 minutes of your day below.
Eilish Gilligan can next be seen at The Evelyn Hotel in Mlebourne on November 4th!

This weekend my parents are here in Dublin for a visit, next week a friend of mine is coming over and I hope there will be a lot more visits happening throughout this year. Because there is nothing better than having people visit the city you live in and you are falling in love with.

#travel: My favourite Instagram Accounts
For today's Tipp I thought I'd do something different. I am not a big fan of people presenting themselves or their oh-so-pretty looking food on Instagram but I certainly am a big fan of every single Instagram account out there that shows how beautiful this world is. This is why I want to present you my favorite Instagram Accounts that make me want to pack my bag and travel the world right away.
Ellmauer Tor, Austria: Wanderlust
Another Friday and another day that hopefully goes by fast. To sweeten the afternoon, here are some of my pictures of beautiful Austria, when I was trekking (almost all the way) up to Ellmauer Tor with my awesome friend and her awesome dog. Here it goes.
Hostelworld: Why I love hostels so much
"Really, sharing a bed with 9 strangers? I couldn't do that."
That's just one of the sentences I hear all the time when I express my love for hostels in front of people. I can't even count anymore in how many different hostels I slept. But I know, that I loved every one of them. Yes, there are definitely downsides to hostels, but I still would chose Hostels over Hotels or AirBnbs anytime. Here's why:
Pray for Paris, Pray for Humanity
I actually wanted to write a completely different post at this point. One about how every city has its beauty. This is still true but when something so ugly happens in so many of those cities nowadays, I don't think this post would be appropriate right now.
You all know what happened in Paris. And you all know why. But I am pretty sure none of you understand why. I definitely don't. I don't understand, why people don't let other people believe what they believe, do what they do and live how they live. The world could be so peaceful if everyone just respected and accepted everyone. Instead people kill people to prove some kind of point and that leads to more killing and the vicious circle will never end.
I already read that opinion on so many channels on Social Media this morning but I still do want to share it as well. Because it's true. Everyone has to try to make this world a better place. Even if it's just with a little smile towards a stranger or respect towards a foreigner. Do it. It won't hurt you and it definitely won't hurt anyone else. And maybe it helps. I would like to believe in it. Because we have to believe in something these days to still be able to say that the world is beautiful and we are happy to be alive.
The rough North? A glimpse into Northern Ireland today
Like already mentioned on my Facebook page, I recently travelled to Northern Ireland, more concretely to Belfast.
When I met a friend a few months ago, who just travelled Ireland, he told me it would be fine to just skip Belfast and spend more time in other parts of (Northern) Ireland. Even though I considered taking his advice, I decided to see myself what Belfast is about. And to be honest, I liked it. (I feel like I say that about every city, but that's because I think everything has a beauty in itself. But that's a topic for a whole new blogpost.)
I only spend around 2 (and a half) days in Belfast, so of course I didn't see all of it. But here are some of my highlights I'd recommend you to do and some things I unfortunately didn't have the time to explore enough.
After I had a little incident with broken glass at a Halloween Party at my house the other night, I started thinking about respect. And that respect is one of the most important things a person should have. Ever. But especially when travelling.

Does attending large social gatherings leave you feeling exhausted? Have you ever decided to turn down a party invitation to stay home by yourself? Does not talking for several hours at a time sound perfectly normal (and relaxing) to you? Me too! As a fellow introvert, allow me to reassure you that you're not weird or antisocial. Solitude and quiet enable us to recharge so we can go back out into this extroverted world with some energy left in our physical and emotional tanks.
Introverts have received a fair amount of attention lately, yet it's only fitting that most of the 'conversation' has been via articles instead of actual dialog. Susan Cain, an introvert herself, broke the ice with her TED Talk and book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. Donald Miller wrote about having a 'people hangover'. Justin Lathrop discussed the challenges of being an introverted pastor. These are just a few examples of excellent material about introverts that has been refreshing to see.
An introvert myself, I am reenergized by solitude or one-on-one conversations. I truly enjoy spending time with friends and family, yet after an extended interaction I need some time alone to recharge. That seems to be a common theme among introverts. There is a certain tension that arises, however, because our culture tends to value extroverted expression. For most introverts, depending on their profession, this can be a bit of a challenge. In a church leadership role, people expect you to be fairly social and outgoing. You're supposed to be a 'people person', not someone who needs time alone after a busy Sunday.
So, how can introverted church leaders deal with those socially minded expectations, and effectively cut through the noise to lead and serve our congregations?
- Give yourself permission to decline invitations.
Our extroverted friends may never understand why we need time alone. You're probably not going to convince them that quiet actually reenergizes you, and that's okay. We don't 'get' their need to be around so many people all the time, either. The point is that you have to become okay with saying 'no' on occasion, with taking a break even though you may be misunderstood.
I'm very upfront about being an introvert and that's been very effective. When I'm leading a large event and have to be 'on' for several hours, I let my team know up front that I'll have to go home and recharge afterwards. I'm not going to feel like heading out to celebrate a great event that day. They don't really 'get it', but at least they know what to expect (and I'll be happy to celebrate another time!).
- Build up your social stamina.
God created you with a purpose, and that purpose will require interaction with others. Just like intense exercise brings muscle soreness along with increased strength, exercising your 'extroversion muscles' may wear you out at first.
I've come to enjoy leading teams, attending events, and doing public speaking because I know these activities provide me an opportunity to serve others. I've expanded my capacity for social interaction over time and have learned when to take breaks. You don't have to try and become an extrovert, but go ahead and get out there to offer your unique talents.
- Help out your fellow introverts.
It's hard to get a word in during a meeting full of extroverts, but please make the effort. When your church is planning an event or special service, the focus tends to be on creating energy in the room. That's extroverted terminology for a fun, engaging experience, and we should applaud their efforts.
We should also look for ways to help introverts enjoy the event. Recommend including an opportunity for quiet reflection during a worship service or leaving a few open spaces in the room for introverts to retreat to when they need some breathing room. Those spaces will feel 'dead' to the extroverts, so you'll need to explain how that helps some of their guests feel more comfortable.
To our extroverted friends: We really do love people; we just happen to love them in smaller doses. A big church event with loud music, lots of people and constant visual stimulation wears us out. We're glad you're having fun and that this type of event attracts people to church. Just don't be alarmed if we disappear for several hours afterwards — we're at home recharging and will come back shortly.
We all have a responsibility to use our unique abilities and personality traits for service. Introverts possess a quiet strength that is just as needed as an extrovert's ability to energize a room. Offer your gifts, find ways to interact, and recharge when needed. Trust me, the effort involved is worth it and we need your contributions.

Medicines licensing
FDA approves new combination product to treat chronic hepatitis C infection
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new combination product to treat patients chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV).
Merck & Co's Zepatier (elbasvir and grazoprevir) can be taken with or without ribavirin and has been approved to treat adult patients with genotypes 1 and 4 of the disease. The drug was designated as a 'breakthrough therapy' by the FDA because evidence suggested that it may offer a substantial improvement over available treatment for a serious condition.
The safety and efficacy of Zepatier was evaluated in clinical trials involving 1,373 patients with chronic HCV genotype 1 or 4 infections, with and without cirrhosis. The participants received the treatment with or without ribavirin once daily for 12 or 16 weeks.
The overall sustained virologic response (SVR) rates ranged from 94% to 97% in genotype 1-infected subjects and from 97% to 100% in genotype 4-infected subjects. The most common side effects of Zepatier without ribavirin were fatigue, headache and nausea. The most common side effects of Zepatier taken with ribavirin were anaemia and headache.
Because of a risk of significantly raised liver enzymes in 1% of patients treated with Zepatier, blood tests should be performed before starting therapy and patients should be monitored during treatment. Zepatier should not be given to patients with moderate or severe liver impairment.
The FDA advises clinicians to screen genotype 1a-infected patients for certain viral genetic variations to determine the optimum dosage regimen and duration, which are listed in the product information.

I never know what's going to show up when I show up and sit down to a blank page. The past few mornings, I've haven't slept very well, and have woken up confused about what day it is. Yesterday I thought it was Saturday. It was actually Tuesday. I don't remember what I thought today was.
My husband and I were talking the other day, and I asked him if he was looking forward to the end of the summer. He said not really. Summer is his busiest time, but it's a systematic kind of busy. The rest of the year for him is more random, and it's the randomness that he doesn't look forward to.
For me it is the opposite–at least since we moved here. Summer is the randomness and the rest of the year is systematic and more structured. The randomness really does start to mess with your head, and I think decreases your sense of satisfaction and purpose in life. I understand because I lived that life for almost ten years.
There's a part of me that keeps waiting for a light bulb to go off. I keep waiting for him to say something like, "Oh my goodness, wow. This is what it was like for you all those years. This is what you were always trying to tell me." It seems like though, the more you want or beg someone to sympathize, the less they actually do, though I'm sure my crying and yelling wasn't helping my cause.
I wonder though, if God allowed that period of life, not so he would sympathize with me then, but so I could sympathize with him now. It feels good when someone understands how you feel. It also feels good when you help someone feel better. It doesn't even need to be something we talk about all the time, but something that guides my steps. Maybe this is my chance to use what I've been through to be encouraging and supportive in ways I've always wanted to be but was unable to do when my life was so random.
He is the one who has largely helped to stabilize my life (and God, obviously). Whenever I talk to people about our early years together, when we were getting to know each other, I tell them there was one main word that would come to my head when I described him, and that word was Stable. He was stable, something I wasn't, and that was the primary thing that attracted me to him.
He brought stability to my life.
I just want to bring joy to his.

Unirac U-LA 403211C 2" Front Cap Aluminum
- Attaches front and rear horizontal pipe to vertical pipes and anchors upper end of north-south braces. Includes 3/8-inch hardware: 2 U-bolts and cross-brace bolt sized for pipe, 5 flange nuts, and 2 or 4 set screws. Available in steel and aluminum options.
Unirac Large Arrays start at 3 kilowatts, but their size is limited only by the size of your ground site or the structural strength of your flat roof.
Unirac designs U-LAs for a wider range of site and climactic challenges than any other PV structure on the market. U-LA aluminum or steel components merge with SolarMount rails and installer-supplied steel pipe (readily available) to form durable, rigid truss structures.
It's a cost-effective mounting solution that has grown with the vision of the PV industry. Today, U-LA customers routinely reap hundreds of kilowatts to megawatts per installation.

The Guardian has reported that:
Britain's biggest bank, HSBC, has inflamed the row over City pay by awarding allowances to hundreds of its top staff, enabling them to avoid the EU bonus cap.
HSBC is the first UK bank to reveal how it will side-step the restriction on bonuses imposed by Brussels. It is [for example] awarding its chief executive, Stuart Gulliver, a £1.7m "fixed pay allowance" on top of his £1.2m salary, which will stop his pay from falling as a result of the restriction on bonuses imposed by Brussels.
It did this whilst disclosing that 239 bankers were paid more than £1 million last year.
I think that there is only one appropriate description of such behaviour that is designed to flagrantly breach the intent of the law, and that is to say the organisation undertaking them is institutionally corrupt.

A senatorial aspirant in Abia State, Dr. Brightman Onyendi, has blamed poor state of infrastructure in Abia Central senatorial district on 'lack of worthy representation.'
He said the district would need such representation for the people to feel the impact of government policies.
"The state of infrastructure in the zone is terrible," Onyendi said, adding, "it is the major reason our people are unable to benefit from the economic opportunities in their respective localities.
"An example is the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway that passes through a greater part of our senatorial zone. The road has fallen into disrepair for years. It is not getting any attention because those who have represented us have not thought of the importance of the road to the local economies in our zone. What have they done in 19 years, other than looking after themselves? Can they point to any sustainable project they initiated in any of the six local government areas of our zone," he asked.
Onyendi said he would be different because his agenda was centred on improving the opportunities the people in the zone would have.
"I am thinking of the interests of the people in the zone. Their interests have formed the bases of the decisions that I have made.

"My choice of political platform is the All Progressives Congress (APC); it is the party at the centre. We need to be at the centre to benefit from national opportunities.
"Representation should be for the people, not oneself. The people of Abia Central need a senator, who can speak for them, who would care for them, and who knows their needs because he knows them. Those are the services I am offering," Onyendi said.
Onyendi, who looks forward to success at the party primaries on Wednesday retired in 2014 from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), where he was a senior manager and a labour leader.
He studied sociology at the University of Jos.

Over-50s who have more sex have better memory and visual awareness, says study
Researchers found memory, language skills and visual awareness improved the more people romped
OVER 50s who have more sex have better brains, researchers say.
Testers aged up to 83 were asked to keep a bonking diary.
And the more they romped, the better their memory, language skills, and spatial and visual awareness.
A team from Oxford and Coventry universities investigated links between sex and mental function with 73 participants.
The 28 men and 45 women took part in tests which measure brain function.
They included verbal fluency — naming as many animals as possible in a minute then as many F words.
The participants' visual awareness was checked by copying a tricky design and drawing a clock face from memory.
Those who had sex the most had the best results.
Study leader Dr Hayley Wright, of Coventry University, said: "People don't like to think that older people have sex — but we need to challenge this conception at a societal level.
"We also need to look at what impact sexual activity can have on those aged 50 and over."
It was already known older adults who remain sexually active have better brain power.
And Dr Wright's team at the Centre for Research in Psychology could not prove one led to the other.
But she said:"Every time we do another piece of research, we are getting a little bit closer to
understanding why this association exists at all.
Also, what the underlying mechanisms are — and whether there is a cause and effect relationship between sexual activity and cognitive function in older people."
EXTRA virgin olive oil preserves memory and could protect against dementia, a study suggests.
Tests on mice showed the oil boosts cells' ability to flush out toxins.
This reduces the formation of plaques and tangles in the brain.
US researchers hailed it an "exciting and important" breakthrough.

The ISPCA Equine Rescue Centre is based in Dromsligo, Mallow, Co Cork. The centre opened in June 2007 as a direct result of the urgent requirement for such a facility to accommodate cruelly treated and neglected equines in the south of the country. With an increased number of horses, old barren mares, broken down racehorses, laminitic ponies and, sadly, badly abused trotting /sulky horses.
A significant number of the seized equines are held on behalf of statutory bodies such as the Gardai and the Society is required to hold these pending Court Proceedings. This often means that many of these unfortunate animals have to be retained by the ISPCA for protracted periods
Visits to the Centre are by appointment only.
Rehoming information ISPCA rescued dogs and puppies are fully vaccinated, treated for parasites, micro-chipped, neutered/spayed (when of age) and we also offer six weeks free pet insurance. We ask for an adoption donation of €100 to help us cover some of our veterinary costs. Our rescued cats and kittens are fully vaccinated, treated for parasites, neutered/spayed (when of age), cat-flap and litter-trained. We also offer six weeks free pet insurance. We ask for an adoption donation of €50 to help us cover some of our veterinary costs. All ISPCA rescued equines are fully vaccinated, micro-chipped and have passports. Stallions and colts are gelded before being responsibly rehomed. We ask for a donation rather than a set amount to help us cover some of our veterinary costs. Visit our rehoming page here

Chance The Helper
Chance The Helper
Chance is an automated personal banker for young people with no less a purpose than to change how the next generation of consumers engage with financial services. The idea appealed to us, so when we were asked to do the branding, design and development, as well as to design AI-based Chance mascot, we simply knew it'd result in something very special. So we got down to business.View Website
Banking For Restless Youth
Banking For Restless Youth
Here's the problem: most young people are unprepared to manage their money when they become adults. Chance offers a solution: a new type of financial product that helps them budget and save effortlessly, as well as letting them borrow small amounts of money. As the product is designed for "young adults" it was our task to come up with something extraordinary to appeal to this particularly picky target group.
It's great to work with an agency that doesn't feel like an agency, but instead feels like one team working toward the same goal. We look forward to continuing our partnership far into the future.

Light up the Fire inside
That was an exciting project for us as it involved a bunch of firsts: using WebGL, manually creating all visuals, graphics and shaders, working in Lo-Fi and cyberfunk stylistics (loved it). Besides doing the branding and designing the mobile app, we also created an experience - a request access website, which was an interesting experience alone.

Revisiting the early Universe
|(Nanowerk News) In the first fleeting milliseconds after the Big Bang, the Universe consisted of a superdense soup of quarks and gluons that were hundreds of thousands of times hotter than the Sun. Over the next 14 billion years, the Universe stretched and cooled, leaving traces of the original brew trapped inside the protons and neutrons of atoms. Scientists at the RIKEN BNL Research Center are smashing atoms together at high speeds to liberate and observe these remnants of the early Universe and gain a better understanding of our cosmic beginnings.
|The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States. (Image: Brookhaven National Laboratory)
|The center was established in 1997 at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in the United States. Theoretical, experimental and computational physicists at the center take advantage of some of the worlds most advanced facilities. Among them are the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the first of only two accelerators in the world capable of melting heavy ions, the large PHENIX (Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment) detector with its dozens of subdetectors, as well as the QCDOC (Quantum ChromoDynamics On a Chip), a supercomputer situated at RIKENs Wako campus that achieves 10 tera floating point operations per second (FLOPS)soon to be replaced by an even speedier successor.
|A golden opportunity
|In a typical experiment at the RHIC, beams of heavy gold ions are accelerated around a 4-kilometer ring until they near the speed of light, before being smashed against each other. Reaching temperatures in the trillions of degrees Celsius, the collisions frizzle protons and neutrons to free quarks and gluons for billionths of a second. Their momentary appearance is recorded by the PHENIX detector, one of four detectors at the RHIC. PHENIX precisely measures the momentum, energy and type of particles that emerge early in the collisions. The hundreds of megabytes of data generated by PHENIX every second are then processed by the QCDOC supercomputer, specifically designed to solve problems of a quantum physical nature.
|Since the centers establishment, researchers have observed a new form of hot, dense matter with characteristics similar to the quarkgluon plasma of the early Universe. Achieving temperatures of over 4 trillion degrees Celsius, they have identified that the plasma behaves more like a perfectly flowing liquid than a gas. The researchers have also determinedto their surprisethat gluons barely contribute to the spin of protons, adding renewed perplexity to the origins of proton spin.

In preparation for the upcoming Pokémon Detective Pikachu movie, The Pokémon Company International has unveiled the remaining cards in the special Detective Pikachu TCG mini-set, as well as announced a special Mewtwo-GX Case File (shown above).
These cards feature Pokémon as they appear in the Pokémon Detective Pikachu movie instead of their more traditional appearances.
Here's a look at the newest cards revealed for the Detective Pikachu set:
Unlike most Pokémon TCG sets, booster packs for the Detective Pikachu set will not be sold by themselves in stores — instead, they will come in special "Case Files" or other bundles, such as the Detective Pikachu Charizard-GX Case File, the Detective Pikachu Mewtwo-GX Case File, or the Detective Pikachu Collector Chest.
These, among other products, contain a predetermined number of Detective Pikachu booster packs along with other standard Pokémon TCG booster packs from other sets.
These products release in select international markets on March 29, 2019 and in the US on April 5, 2019.

Retro Revival: 14 Cool Roadside Hotels
These former motels have gone from seedy to stylish.
Once a national icon, motels fell out of fashion in the late '60s with the invention of the chain hotel, leaving many mom-and-pop moteliers stranded on America's roadsides with nothing but a surplus of color TVs and coin-operated beds to show for their years of hospitable service. Many were abandoned, and more were demolished, but the few that survived have recently been given a second chance to shine thanks to the new wave of modern moteliers. Check out these former motels that have been transformed into super chic boutique hotels.

# Best practices when using SQL server
We compiled a few of our best practices that make your life easier when developing workflows with Workato by causing less bugs and time wasted. We've split up these into 2 overarching patterns:
- Recipe design patterns
- Database design patterns
# Recipe design patterns
Workato contains numerous functions that makes life easier for you when you're designing recipes. Using tools such as callable recipes and single row/batch actions, you'll be able to break down complex workflow processes to create recipes that mimic your current dataflows without decreasing performance and troubleshoot them easily. Here are some general recipe building best practices, but read on more to find out some of the rules specific to databases that you should keep in mind when building recipes in Workato.
# Reduce database actions whenever possible
When designing your recipes, it helps to keep in mind that each database action induces additional load on your servers. To minimise strain on your databases, removing unnecessary steps and thoughtful use of batch actions mean your recipes are more sustainable and cost effective.
# Common ways to reduce database actions
- Using
Upsertinstead of using
- Using Workato's
Listsby Workato to aggregate data and using batch actions to send it over to SQL server. This can be applied when a connector does not have batch action/trigger functionality
- Using stored procedures or custom SQL functions whenever possible to accomplish more actions on your database server before sending it over to Workato
# Handling errors
Error handling is an important part in the design process of a recipe. Here are some of the best practices for error handling when designing recipes.
# Splitting up complex workflows into separate recipes
Databases are often used for a wide range of tasks and it may be tempting to create huge recipes that accomplish all tasks but this also makes these recipes incredibly hard to maintain. Complex workflows should always be split up into separate recipes compartmentalising them based on their purpose. This makes recipe maintenance and troubleshooting easier as errors can be traced quickly to specific recipes that handle well defined purpose. Breaking down workflows into multiple recipes also reduces the amount of redundancy as the same recipe can be called by a variety of different recipes. To achieve this, Workato has callable recipes, allowing recipes to trigger other recipes. Callable recipes can also be triggered by 3rd party applications through a REST API.
For example, if we were hoping to use Workato to build a workflow that accomplished the following
- reads new/updated contact information from a SQL server data base
- performs basic transformations
- creates new accounts in Salesforce
- adds these contacts into a mailchimp campaign
- backs this data up in an redshift database
We should consider splitting this workflow up into 4 separate recipes.
Callable Recipe 1
Create Salesforce accounts
1. Triggered after being called by another recipe and receive request data
2. Performs validation on data received
3. Checks for existing Salesforce accounts
4. Updates or inserts new Salesforce accounts
Callable Recipe 2
Adds contacts to email campaign
1. Triggered after being called by another recipe and receive request data
2. Performs validation on data received
3. Checks for existing duplicate contact
4. Adds or updates contact to email campaign
Callable Recipe 3
Back contact data up in Redshift data warehouse
1. Triggered after being called by another recipe and receive request data
2. Performs validation on data received
3. Perform data transformation to prepare for Redshift data warehouse
4. Checks for existing records into Redshift data warehouse
5. Updates or inserts contact records
Parent Recipe 4
Kickstart workflow from database (SQL server)
1. Scheduled trigger to retrieve data from Sql Server
2. Perform basic data transformation and validation
3. Call Recipe 1
4. Call Recipe 2
5. Call Recipe 3
By splitting this workflow up into multiple recipes, this allows other recipes and 3rd party apps to also call upon recipe 1, 2 and 3 reducing the amount of redundant steps if, for example, another recipe needed to back data up in a Redshift data warehouse. Changes to any step or improvements to any part of the workflow, such as a change in email provider from Mailchimp to SendGrid would be handled much easier due to this design pattern.
# When to use batch of rows triggers/actions vs single row triggers/actions
With the ability to break down complex workflows through callable recipes, the decision to use batch or single row actions are often a matter of business requirements and design considerations. While batch triggers/actions reduce the load on your servers and improve time efficiency by batching up to a 100 records into a single call, there exists a trade-off as batch actions that do fail, fail on a batch level.
When examined, most workflows with applicable batch triggers/actions can be accomplished in 3 ways:
|Business use case example
|The use of a batch trigger, followed by a batch action and using Workato's repeat step for any single row actions.
|Using this method is the most efficient across all metrics. Since Workato employs a step-by-step (synchronous) process within each job run so any error that causes the run to stop also prevents the following steps from being executed for the entire batch. In cases where it only makes sense for the following actions to be executed contingent on the success of the initial steps, this could be useful behaviour. Since even a single record causes the whole batch to stop, some thought should go into striking a balance between efficiency and stopping too many records from being processed during a failed job run. One solution would be to toggle batch size.
|If we were to pull batches of new leads from a SQL server for batch inserts into Salesforce, we could follow this up with emails to individuals on the sales team with links to the leads newly created on Salesforce directly. In cases where our information flowing in from Salesforce raised an error during the batch insert action, no email would be sent out to our sales team with links that didn't work or were empty! We can now safely make adjustments to our recipe to accommodate this error before repeating the job.
|The use of a single row trigger, followed by a single row actions
|Using this method is the least efficient across all metrics, especially for triggers/actions that work with large numbers of records. Workato employs a step-by-step (synchronous) process within job runs so any error that causes the run to stop also prevents the following steps from being executed. Some cases call for this behaviour where we would want to fix our recipe before letting the recipe run on to further steps. This is different from the batch trigger version as it only stops the job runs for those that raise errors compared to an entire batch. In time sensitive business use cases where all new rows should be processed as soon as possible, this might be the best design choice.
|Time sensitive job runs such as new orders populating a SQL server table as new rows, the following actions may be crucial in ensuring the timely delivery of your product to your customer. Having entire batches of orders being stopped due to a single failed record may result in lost revenue for you. In this scenario, single row triggers/actions may be the best way to minimise disruptions to your company's operations. Another alternative to consider would be to reduce the batch size of your batch actions.
|The use of a batch trigger, followed by all required batch actions. A separate recipes can be used with a single row action and single row actions.
|Using this method is allows records to be processed concurrently. This allows errors to be contained at a recipe level and only affect the steps that follow after it. In cases where steps are independent of each other and one need not be completed before the other can begin, this might be the best solution. This fits in the best with more complex workflows where separating recipes based on their data types and business needs makes recipes easier to maintain and efficient as mentioned earlier.
|New records in a table could signify new customer sign-ups for a free trial for your product. You hope to add them in batches to a drip campaign as well as send their details individually over to your sales team for follow-ups. Given both cases are not dependent on each other and both can be accomplished without diminishing the other's effectiveness, this workflow could and should be accomplished as separate recipes to minimise the impact if failed job runs on business.
# When to use update, insert and upsert actions
Choosing between update, insert and upsert actions can have numerous implications for your recipes and SQL server tables. While upserts can be used to accomplish most actions where update or insert are used, here are some of the key considerations to keep in mind when choosing one over the other.
Key considerations
- Upsert performs better in certain cases where records should be unique based on a single column. This reduces the number of steps required in a recipe where a search would have had to been performed to decide whether to update a record or insert a new record.
- Upserts are useful in failed job runs where repeating a failed job where it previously inserted a row would not result in another row being created. Inserts would insert yet another row if the job were to be run again.
- Updates allow you to update rows that might not all be identified using a unique key. Rows to update identified using a range of parameters, i.e. updating all records
WHERE revenue >= 1000000
- Upserts may coverup potential bugs or issues. For example, a recipe triggering when an order is changed in Salesforce to update the record of the order in your database might not be suitable for the upsert action. Since a record of the order should have already been in the system, the lack of one to update should be noted and the job stopped with a report error instead.
# When to use custom SQL and stored procedures in Workato
Workato allows you to write your own custom SQL queries in 2 ways:
With these custom SQL queries, you can do a wide range of create, read, update and delete actions on your SQL server. Since writing your own queries might get messy in terms of the columns returned, remember to manage your step output by giving your returned columns meaningful aliases and only returning the columns that you need. This makes maintaining your recipe easier and more readable for others as well.
Custom SQL allows you to reduce the number of actions calling your database within a recipe. Having less actions means less load on your servers and greater time efficiency as data can be join and transformed directly on your servers before sending Workato the final result. If you're comfortable with SQL, consider using custom SQL to perform basic data transformations rather than doing so on Workato. Custom SQL also allows you to do Data Definition Language (DDL) - a far larger range of operations such as creating, dropping and altering tables (if your connection has the correct permissions).
Besides custom SQL, Workato also supports the execution of stored procedures that are defined in your database. More than just queries, stored procedures are more commonly used to execute complex transactions or loads. In cases like these, Workato acts as the orchestration tool to execute the stored procedure at the right time. Another great feature of stored procedures is the versatility available through input parameters while still retaining control over the scope of what your recipes can do in your database.
# Using collections in Workato for basic data cleansing, enrichment and transformation
In cases where custom SQL and stored procedures might not be suitable such as the transformation and aggregating of data from different sources, Workato offers the use of collections for basic transformations. Collections can be used for data cleaning, data enrichment and aggregation through easy to use commands in SQL. Collections are versatile tools that can be used as last steps before placing data inside data warehouses, data lakes or exporting to other applications.
# Database design patterns
# Designing tables for use in Workato
When looking to make triggers using our
New row and
New/updated row triggers, trigger configurations require either the use of a unique key or unique key and sorted column to enable Workato to ensure your trigger doesn't miss out on any records. Not all tables that you encounter may be ready to be used as a trigger so here are some best practices to prepare your table for use in Workato.
Unique keys
- An auto incrementing unique integer key should be present in the table that can act as your unique key. In most cases where your table's
primarykey is set to be auto incrementing, this is usable.
- When this is not the case, one of two solutions can be implemented
- Finding an existing key that can act as a proxy which is an integer, unique and auto incrementing
- Creating a new auto incrementing unique integer key
How to create a new auto incrementing key
Make sure no other column has been declared as an
IDENTITYcolumn in your table. (if this has been done so, you may use that directly as your unique integer key
Enter the following commands to create an new
IDENTITYcolumn, where [your_table_name] and [column_name] are placeholders for your table name and new column name respectively
ALTER TABLE [your_table_name] ADD [column_name] INT UNIQUE NOT NULL IDENTITY ;
After this, you should be able to use your new key as a unique column!
Creating a new
IDENTITYcolumn in SQL server backfills all your previous records. Take note of the initial recipe run!
Sort column
updated_atcolumns within a table should be suitable as the sort column.
- Failing that, any column that can be sorted based on the time the record was updated can be used.
- If no column is suitable, an
updated_atcolumn can be created to fulfil this purpose.
- This new
updated_atcolumn in SQL server can now be used as an sort column
How to create an
updated_atcolumn to sort by
- Enter the following commands to create an
updated_atcolumn, where [your_table_name] and [column_name] are placeholders for your table name and new column name respectively
ALTER TABLE [your_table_name] add updated_at datetime2 CONSTRAINT DF_myTable_updated_at DEFAULT GETDATE()
- After this, now we need to add this column to trigger and update whenever a record is changed
CREATE TRIGGER trg_[your_table_name]_update ON [your_table_name] AFTER UPDATE AS UPDATE [your_table_name] SET updatedAt = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP FROM INSERTED i WHERE [your_table_name].ID = i.ID;
# Data validation
Data validation is an important step in database design that makes your data cleaner and also reduces the chances of job errors on Workato. Most databases allow you to create and alter tables to include constraints on data flowing into them. Read up over here how to add constraints to ensure data cleanliness in your database
Data validation can also be done at a recipe if you aren't familiar or do not have
ALTER permissions in your database. Use Workato's formula recipes to catch values that might throw errors in your recipe. Found out more about formulas over here

ONTARIO – The Golden Highway project 110 km east of Timmins is returning bonanza grades for owner Moneta Porcupine Mines of Toronto. The best hole was 1,078.43 g/t gold (a number more often associated with silver).
The excellent results come from the South West deposit where additional mineralized vein arrays were found both to the east and west of the veins in the central area.
Here are highlights of from recent holes:
Moneta says the ongoing drill program at South West confirmed the presence of new vein arrays that were identified last fall during the reinterpretation of the geology and mineralization. The current program includes 20,000 metres in 50 drill holes, but the company plans to expand the program based on the results so far.
More details are posted at www.MonetaPorcupine.com. The former Monteta mine produced about 150,000 oz. of gold from 1939 to 1943.

This tutorial is part of the Getting Started with Talend Cloud series, and demonstrates how to execute a Job while utilizing a remote engine.
What is a remote engine?
A remote engine is an on-premises execution environment that can be installed behind your firewall or security processes within your corporate infrastructure, giving the Talend Cloud access to local resources, such as files, databases, or other applications.
I've already had my administrator create a new remote engine for me. The remote engine key is available along with various details regarding the engine.
Although the status says it's not paired, the cloud will automatically pair once I download and install the remote engine. With my remote engine downloaded, paired, and ready to go, I'm going to head to my Job within Talend Studio and adjust how my source file is read into my process.
Accessing on-premises applications
I just need to delete these two components which were used to retrieve and read files from Dropbox.
I'll make sure to reconnect my remaining components using Component Ok, and then reconfigure this tFileDelimited component to indicate where my file is located on my local server. Make sure to use forward slashes instead of back slashes, or you will receive an error while running the Job.
Finally, I will delete my now unnecessary parameter, parameter download path, since I'm now telling the Job to use the file directory on my local system. With the output set to my Dropbox account, I'll save my changes and republish this Job to the Talend Cloud.
Heading back to the cloud, I'll replace the existing Job package with my newly published version. I'll select to Go Live. My Dropbox connection is automatically selected as the target destination, and I need to make sure that my new on-premises remote engine is selected as my new environment. And then I'll click Go.
Now, taking advantage of my new remote engine, I can execute my Job in the cloud, and I now have the ability to access data from a local file system and still publish the results to the cloud.
For more details, check out "Working with Remote Engines" from the Talend Cloud User Guide. To learn more about getting started with Talend Cloud, go back to the beginning of this tutorial series, and be sure to download a free trial of Talend Cloud so you can follow along.

Learn about Blockpad libraries in the library deep dive.
The include libraries tool gives easy access to an online library. When a library is included it is treated like a "built-in" library in the file.
Including libraries is very useful when you need to reference a library multiple times in one file. Normally, to reference something in a library, you open a formula and type Library.LibrayName.etc.etc. When a library is included, the "Library.LibraryName." portion isn't necessary.

Tommy's Honour (review)
Many sports flicks skim around the sports in favor of exploiting the personal challenges and the struggle to win. Instead, this one spends more than half of the time on the golf course with only a taste of friction to add drama. It's based on the true story of a father/son in 19th century Scotland. The elder is considered the architect of the modern game while his son built a rep as an exceptional player. The narrative depicts important milestones in the history of golf, but it doesn't spend sufficient time on conflicts or relationships. As a result, it's an interesting history lesson. The performances are appealing (although those brogues sometimes make the dialogue a challenge), but like golf, I didn't find viewing especially stimulating.

TensorFlow Object Detection. Where is Brown's head?
My fun mini weekend project on Object Recognition. I'm very impressed on the evolution of Computer Vision. The computer started recognizing the objects by using ~200 images for the training data. The project was performed using an NVIDIA Tesla K80 and training for ~12 hours on Google Cloud Compute Engine.
How do I train the algorithm?
Step 1: manually label region (object/element) in each image (heavy lifiting work!).
Labels will store (x,y) coordinates of boundary box in the picture with class/type of the box.
Step 2: Feed labeled image to object detection algorithm and select pre-trained deep learning model.
I've chose "Faster R-CNN" model becasue it recieved a good score of mAP (mean Average Precision). However, it takes longer time to process images than other models.
Step 3: Monitor training process closely through an algorithm dashboard.
Step 4: Validate model by applying models on images that are in test set.

Johnny Sexton claims that the last meeting of Ireland and the All Blacks went "over the edge" - and believes that was the game that forced World Rugby to change the rules on high tackling.
The November 2016 clash at the Aviva Stadium came a fortnight on from Ireland's first ever win over New Zealand - and the world champs brought a fearsome physicality to the rematch.
Robbie Henshaw, who like Conor Murray has been ruled out of Saturday's latest collision between the sides, was carted off following a high tackle by Sam Cane as the Kiwi's shoulder caught Henshaw's jaw.
Malakai Fekitoa was also sin-binned in the 48th minute for hitting Simon Zebo high.
Henshaw and CJ Stander were concussed as the All Blacks wreaked their revenge. Ireland lost three players inside 25 minutes and lost the game 21-9.
Sexton, who came off after 19 minutes with a hamstring injury, said: "That one probably went over the edge, didn't it?
"I think that game changed a lot, going forward.
"That was a massive moment where high tackles suddenly became what's acceptable and what's not acceptable.
"After that, I feel that things changed and you wouldn't get away with that now".
