Methods of protest by NFL players condemned by some, supported by others
Brittany Costello
September 24, 2017 10:14 PM
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Sunday's NFL games were turning heads before players even took a snap.
Dozens of players sat, knelt or raised their fists during the national anthem in protest of remarks made by President Donald Trump who some saw as divisive. The week before, just six players did so to protest social issues like police brutality.
Those actions follow comments by Trump that players who refuse to stand should be fired by the league.
Before boarding Air Force One Sunday in New Jersey, the president again called the players disrespectful and demanded team owners put a stop to the way they chose to protest.
"This has nothing to do with race or anything else. This has to do with respect for our country and respect for our flag," Trump said.
The NFL and its players, meanwhile, have been united in condemning the president's criticisms. New England Patriots Owner Robert Kraft, a noted friend of Trump, said he felt "deep disappointment" with his comments.
Many New Mexicans also shared that sentiment.
While some disagree with Trump, many were split when it comes to the way athletes are responding. Some people said they are doing the right thing; that they have the right to peacefully protest like anyone else.
But still others believe politics and sports shouldn't mingle, saying that how those players chose to protest was disrespectful.
"I'm all in favor of it," said Wayne Santoro, who lives in Albuquerque. "We live in a racist society. People have a right to protest. Protest is fundamental to democracy, so people are voicing their opinion."
Richard Moody, meanwhile, said a football field isn't the place to protest.
"I think it's disrespectful to not stand and take off a cap if you're a man, if we're saying the Pledge of Allegiance or the national anthem, either one," Moody said.
The trend started last season when former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeled to protest the sometimes unjust treatment of African Americans by police.
Trump added fuel to the fire after his controversial comments Friday, when he tweeted "if a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL, or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect our great American flag."
He went on to tweet those athletes should be fired or suspended.
"I think our president did a ridiculous job in stirring all this up once again, insulting a majority of Americans as he tends to do," said Brian Crockett, another local resident. "I believe the NFL players have not just every right but a responsibility to step up and kneel down just as they should."
Other New Mexicans say while they do not support Trump's comments, there are better ways to send the message.
"I just think it's disrespectful, bad," Chris Martinez said. "We're all Americans. I mean, that's all there is to it. I know everyone has their own right, has the rights to do whatever they want, but it's just not American at all. It's just wrong in general."

Benefit Summer Collection 2010: Benefit Ultra Shine Lip Shine Review
Ultra: Going beyond others, or beyond due limit; extreme; fanatical; uncompromising; as, an ultra reformer; ultra measures.
Dontcha just love when makeup has the word "ultra" in it? Gets my blood pumping.
Wanna meet Benefit Ultra Shine Lip Shine?
Jump it!
What is it?
Take Benefit Lipgloss and added a brand new brush application and a ton of brilliant shine and you'll have yourself the brand new Ultra Shine Gloss.
The Good….
Ahhh thick, glossy, and incredibly shiny, I'm thinking Benefit Ultra Shine Lip Shine and I will be BFF very soon. Formula is pretty darn nice on this as it has just the right amount of thickness I desire to make my lips look full plus packs plenty of pigmentation into the mix so I can wear easily alone sans lipstick. The texture isn't too tacky which is fab as it makes for a rather comfortable wear plus it sticks around for quite a number of hours before needing a touch up, likey! I tried it in Spiked Punch which is a vibrant orange-y peach with a cream finish.
The brush applicator is what really gets me down on my knees singing praises of joy and thanks to the Benefit Gods. I really like brush or spatula applicators as it allows me to build up product in a snap. I find these applicators work much better for application versus a standard, boring sponge.
The Bad….
WTH Benefit? Only available in five shades? Well that stinks. Wasn't keen on the color I got because of the cream finish so interested to see if any of the other shades contain a bit of shimmer as I can wear that finish easier but I do think most if not all are creams from swatches I seen.
Who might like it?
- Anyone who likes a thick, glossy lip product.
- Anyone who wants a long wearing gloss.
- Those who already enjoy Benefit Gloss as this is similar but on steroids.
Who might not like it?
- Anyone who wants a variety of color (Five shades really isn't a whole lot of selection but I'm sure Benefit will release more at a later date).
- Anyone who doesn't like a cream gloss (I could be wrong but I don't think any of the current shades are available in sparkle/shimmer so cream it is).
- Anyone who doesn't like thicker glosses.
Final Thoughts…..
I liked the gloss well enough however I'd love to see more of a color selection in the future with a bit of sparkle and shimmer thrown in there or perhaps even have some shades from the regular gloss line available in this new formula. The brush applicator really seals the deal for me as I enjoy this style applicator for glosses which makes the gloss an instant win. All in all a very nice thick gloss with a super finish.

Whatcha think?

A progressive slap at public defenders
Assuming that you read Public Defender Investigator (and if you don't, you should), probably you've already scanned this dismaying and thorough San Jose Mercury - News series about the sad state of criminal justice in Santa Clara County, CA. If not, click, scroll through and view the shortcomings of the system up close.
If you were to read the Mother Jones magazine blog about it, here's something you'd take away:
... defense attorneys neglected to do even the most basic independent investigation... In some cases they didn't even appear to know basic criminal law. Note that this applies to both public defenders, who are notorious for this sort of behavior...
Good for the first commenter, who takes the blog to task. Maybe this is true of Charley in Florida, but put the broad brush down, Mother. Does it have to be repeated: just because you call yourself progressive doesn't mean that you won't stoop to a drive-by slur on public defenders? I expected a little better from Bradford Plumer. Thanks, MoJo.

Artist Statement
Noa Yekutieli is an Israeli American contemporary artist who works mostly in manual paper-cutting technique and creates site specific installations.
In her work she refers to human aspects of complex social situations and raises questions in regards to the place of the memory in the relations to the way political, social and personal narratives are created and evolve.
The foundation of her work is documentation. Using photography and employing press-images there is a shift from everyday moments to natural or man-made disasters; this shift enables her to explore occurrences of the formation of memory and the construction of narratives in different locations.
This is not to say that disasters in and of themselves are the main question, but rather how representation of catastrophe play as visual facts that sustain and negate human memory. They become an expression of insufferable locus of emptiness, but such that only their acceptance we are able to confront and learn from.
The paper-cutting technique is an irreversible act such as disasters. By the subtraction of material and the creation of absence in the material her work slowly reconstructs itself and exposes the evolving memory.
When positioned opposing to its betrothed glass frame, the relation between the monochromatic image and the glass surface create a constant, yet concurrently change substrate of reflections that merge to 'one'. The appearance of the reflection emphasizes the constant influence the surrounding has on the way we view and form narratives in relations to context.
Noa Yekutieli (b.1989, USA) lives and works in Tel Aviv and Los Angeles.

'Working with you was an awakening and a release at the same time. You made me realise that the answers were within me all the time and that I knew what should be done but was afraid or too guilty to act on it.
As a coach, you are very warm but also very firm so it is important for those coming into this journey to already have made the decision to improve themselves and to be open to changing their own mind-sets in order to make it fruitful and beneficial to their lives.
I used to go for sessions only when something goes wrong and then would stop until the next disaster strikes. This is not the way to improve in the long run. It is essential to have these sessions regularly and not just in times of trouble – like food for the soul.'
Hairani Joshi, Director, Singapore Sports Museum & Singapore Youth Olympic Museum
I had a definite shift and it still feels great! You provided a safe place and skillfully guided me in releasing and reshaping the thoughts that were causing me so much pain. You're an amazing coach and I'm really grateful you're out there offering people the opportunity to express their best selves!!!'

'Michelle makes me feel at home and safe in our coaching sessions. I completely trust her to help navigate me through the darkest reaches of my soul. She is a gifted and compassionate healer and listener. Her intuition and ingenuity will take you deep into your self, shine a light, and then help you clear the debris away to uncover the heart of the matter. She has given me illuminating new ways of seeing myself, compassion for myself, and gentle but powerful nudges toward completing my goals. You would be very lucky to have her on your side.'
Dr. Anu Gupta, Mind Body Coach
'Michelle is a heart-centred coach who is inspiring in her unwavering attitude to stay true to the path of knowledge. I've had the benefit of her encouragement, and that has allowed me to take the plunge towards the most amazing experiences in my life. May she continue to infect her clients with the same humour, warmth and passion so that they will allow themselves to live their fullest potential.'
Vivian Salim, Owner, Yoga in Common Singapore
'I would glowingly recommend you to anyone needing a guide for their transformation, especially sensitive souls who need a nurturing coach.
After working with you I have more trust in myself. You planted the seeds for bravery and a thirst for integrity. I learned about collaboration, accountability, how to trust in my abilities and the courage to try things out. You didn't push any agenda on me and allowed whatever needed to come out to have its time to flow. And you didn't make me dependent, you urged me to fly from the nest quickly!
You are gentle, calm yet cognisant of the need for establishing boundaries for both client and coach. You are truly professional and not just a coach but also a wonderful speaker and group facilitator.'
Marixi Salud, Endorsed Mind-Body Coach
Michelle has great knowledge and is able to determine the individual abilities and needs of her clients. Her pleasant and positive attitude is a great asset to her willingness to work with clients at their own level. She instills confidence and encouragement to make you want to work further and apply her methodologies diligently.
Stephanie Ang, Business Development & Talent Management
'Michelle is a guiding light and voice of reason. I have consulted her professionally a number of times and have always come away more at peace with myself. She has a wonderful approach to people and a comfortable demeanor. Michelle has become an essential part of my life.'
Colette Wong, Sports Journalist, ESPN Star Sports
'Yours is a pure and simple guidance to self improvement sans the commercial trappings. You don't create a dependency for people to latch upon your services. You are genuine about the fact that change/growth takes work and may involve discomfort. You're not some quick-fix motivator and you are honest with your clients about this. You are personable but don't take nonsense.
What I also like about you is your compassion and ability to relate. Your gentle guidance and honesty. You listen without prejudice/don't sit on a high horse and judge. You made me see and acknowledge my own wisdom and empowered me.
For people who want to see someone who actually takes an interest in their client and wants to empower them and create an awareness towards their spiritual growth. You are the perfect balance between life and spiritual coaching.
You have helped me recognise my true virtue and the power within myself to live my mission. Through your well researched techniques, insight and wisdom, you guided me to tapping into my own wisdom and helped me create a reservoir within to draw my own resources and work through my own challenges. Something within me has changed and evolved for the better, and you have a significant part to play in that metamorphosis.'
Sherlin Giri, Lecturer and Trainer
'Michelle is one truly amazing individual. She makes you feel right at home, safe and comfortable enough to open up and deal with your emotions and issues. Her positive energy and radiant smile shines throughout and makes you feel hopeful and optimistic for the future. Michelle has given me immense strength to start opening my heart to others and start trusting myself.'
Kephren Ayanari, Event Management Professional
'I believe the advice and methods that Michelle showed to me was essential in helping me move closer to my dreams and I consistently refer to those skills I picked up from our sessions to help me live my life to my fullest potential.'

In vitro Rodent Models of Parkinson's Disease
- Mouse primary striatal neurons are the most sensitive neurons to the oligomers of mouse or human α-synuclein (αSO), more than cortical, cerebellar, or hippocampal neurons.
- 400 nM αSO kill ̴ 40% of mouse primary striatal neurons within 72 h.
- Typical in vitro assay results for antibodies or small molecules are shown below (Figure 1)
- Various fibrillar forms of α-synuclein, made by multiple academic labs, show similar dose-dependent neurotoxicity on primary striatal neurons after 72 h. However, SynAging's αSO are the most toxic conformation (Figure 2)
- BDNF (50 nM) is a suitable positive control preventing αSO neurotoxicity (Figure 3).
- SynAging's high reproducibility for producing misfolded α-synuclein aggregates with the same effects is shown at the end of the page.
Product Sheet "In Vitro Neuroprotection Screen for Parkinson's Disease" Download PDF, 890 KB
Assay setup:
- primary mouse striatal neurons are seeded in 48-well plates
- at day 11, medium is supplemented with 400nM αSO preparation
- neuronal viability is determined 72h later with the MTT or ATP-Light assay
- test items can be added before, together with, or after the challenge with αSO
- standard plate layout is in triplicates, including vehicle control, negative control (αSO), positive control (αSO and BDNF), and compounds controls (no αSO)
- In one 48 well plate (design below):
6 compounds can be tested at a single concentration,
2 compounds can be tested at three concentrations,
or one compounds in dose response mode, six concentrations
- αSO-treated neurons show (Figure 4):
- severe cell shrinkage
- destruction of the neuronal network
- phenotype different from AβO
- slower damage than AβO
- αSO preparation is highly reproducible in the resulting neurodegenerative properties (Figure 5)

After Jugo
is a multimedia project that documents the life of young people in Sarajevo today. The youth in their twenties form a generation that is "in between". They did not fight in the war, but they remember it very well. They are not old enough to be obsessed by it, and not young enough to remove it. But now, they are grown and understand that the life in Bosnia is not like everywhere else in Europe. They feel stuck. They feel in a ghetto with no future. Although they still love their country and suffer for it.

The Greek Parliament abruptly called a two-week vacation this week followed by a requisite four-month vacation during which only one third of Parliament will be around for three of the four weeks. The vacations have prompted an outcry from those who demand the government act on important matters.
Parliament officials declared a recess session this week, which would last two weeks before entering a one-month full vacation. For three months thereafter, there will be rotating vacations through which only one third of the Parliament will be in session at the time.
The declaration of recess arrived almost immediately after a spectacle unfurled on the Parliament floor as Nikos Michaloliakos, a former head of national socialist party Golden Dawn, was stripped of his criminal immunity as a legislator. "Shame on you, you pseudo-democrats, for setting up this plot against us… You have drawn up charges with your eyes on opinion polls. You are a sad minority government. You put me in prison for no reason," Michaloliakos railed before leaving the Parliament floor.
The vacations have sparked outrage by the major opposition group, the Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA). SYRIZA spokesman Nikos Vutsis alleged that the government was shutting down legislative operations immediately before the radical leftist party was to introduce a bill to remove legislative immunity over officials involved in 120 court proceedings. Such a bill is impossible to pass without a full quorum, which will not happen until October.
"Last year, Parliament interrupted its sessions much later – in 2012 they were not interrupted a single day," Vutsis said. "This sudden closing is a scandal because this year the Parliamentary period was shorter due to 15 Easter days and another 15 days of interruption due to European Parliament elections," he explained.
The party also released an official statement condemning Prime Minister Antonis Samaras. "He is indebted to the people and democracy to discuss Golden Dawn, as repeatedly requested by the leadership of SYRIZA, and as is required by the need to fight the Nazi phenomenon," the party said in a statement, according to Greek newspaper Ta Nea.
Golden Dawn, which has been largely criminalized due to outbreaks of violence in the last few years, experienced a resurgence during the last wave of local elections, much to the chagrin of both radical leftist elements and the Greek center-right currently in power. In addition to the Golden Dawn threat, however, limited Parliament activity will result in the government's having less time to work on economic recovery in a country struggling through crisis for most of the past decade.

Which Would You Buy? Urban Decay, Too Faced, or Hard Candy
Battle of the brands!
Which would you buy?
There is a poll embedded in this post. Please visit my blog to participate.
Tell ya more after the jump!
Urban Decay for me. No doubt. Although I gotta admit Too Faced comes a close second. I slapped up Hard Candy as well since it really reminds me (or reminded me) of Urban Decay but a fresher, sweeter version of the brand and although they have some cute offerings right now the quality isn't quite the same as it was.
Of course, I've been a long term fan of UD thus was a no brainer I choose them.

Advice for the Manic
the entire city. And the sun will say yes
to your doughy calves. And the cash register,
yes to a skirt too short for public transit.
And every raised mole on the bony back
of an old lover who said you were too much
sadness to levy will say yes this time, too.
And then you'll need a bigger city
to strut in. And then you'll need an artist
to peacock your back. And then someone
to peel off the saran wrap and wash its tender
clean. And then you'll need more sensible
underwear, something pink, soft cotton
your mother could wash without comment.
And then, silence—invest in a solo tent
and backpack and other utilitarian items
at the Army Navy store. Walk until you see
all the galaxies that have never touched you.
Summon ancestors who knew how to survive
the cold. Build a fire. Pretend you know how
to play harmonica. Pretend to hear crickets.
And then, return. The blisters on your feet
will heal into something tougher. Pay your rent
when it's due. Replace lost buttons. Never buy a gun,
even if you were raised by conspiracy theories
and it's a bad neighborhood. Sometimes you won't
eat a meal for five days. Call this winter. Save
a little rum in your belly to unwolf into new mud.

Review | Author Bio | Read an Excerpt
Cowboy Christmas by Mary Connealy asks readers: Which is more important -- telling the truth or protecting loved ones? And, can a beautiful woman really be trusted? These themes of truth and trust dominate Connealys story of Elijah Walker and Annette Talbot. Running away from a couple with evil designs, Annette returns home to her fathers ranch only to find it deserted. She meets Elijah, a man whose past makes him cynical toward all women, and the result is a chaotic ride of strong emotions, dastardly plots, and lessons of learning to trust again.
With prods from his strong-willed mother, Elijah determines to help Annette survive on the Western frontier. She is running from more than he knows, however, and the details she leaves out only heighten his distrust. At the same time, Annette fears that telling the truth will bring more harm to those she cares about. Ultimately, they both must choose between trust and distrust, truth, and falsehood.
Through her humorous transitions and gentle pokes at gender differences, Mary Connealy keeps readers turning pages in an otherwise predictable plot. Some of the frustrations with each other that Annette and Elijah face are entertaining, but others may cause readers to pause and reflect on their own lives. Elijahs struggle to trust Annette stands out, as does Annettes battle to understand the Matthew 16:24 concept of bearing crosses for the Lord.
Although this is a fairly typical cowboy romance, the plot twists will keep readers interested. Connealys writing style is amusing, and she offers a satisfying story. Lovers of historical romances will especially enjoy this book. Ruth Anne Burrell, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

Orchestrator: MySQL Replication Topology Manager
This blog post discusses Orchestrator: MySQL Replication Topology Manager.
What is Orchestrator?
Orchestrator is a replication topology manager for MySQL.
It has many great features:
- The topology and status of the replication tree is automatically detected and monitored
- Either a GUI, CLI or API can be used to check the status and perform operations
- Supports automatic failover of the master, and the replication tree can be fixed when servers in the tree fail – either manually or automatically
- It is not dependent on any specific version or flavor of MySQL (MySQL, Percona Server, MariaDB or even MaxScale binlog servers)
- Orchestrator supports many different types of topologies, from a single master -> slave to complex multi-layered replication trees consisting of hundreds of servers
- Orchestrator can make topology changes and will do so based on the state at that moment; it does not require a configuration to be defined with what corresponds to the database topology
- The GUI is not only there to report the status – one of the cooler things you can do is change replication just by doing a drag and drop in the web interface (of course you can do this and much more through the CLI and API as well)
Here's a gif that demonstrates this (click on an image to see a larger version):
Orchestrator's manual is quite extensive and detailed, so the goal of this blogpost is not to go through every installation and configuration step. It will just give a global overview on how Orchestrator works, while mentioning some important and interesting settings.
How Does It Work?
Orchestrator is a go application (binaries, including rpm and deb packages are available for download).
It requires it's own MySQL database as a backend server to store all information related to the Orchestrator managed database cluster topologies.
There should be at least one Orchestrator daemon, but it is recommended to run many Orchestrator daemons on different servers at the same time – they will all use the same backend database but only one Orchestrator is going to be "active" at any given moment in time. (You can check who is active under the Status menu on the web interface, or in the database in the active_node table.)
Using MySQL As Database Backend, Isn't That A SPOF?
If the Orchestrator MySQL database is gone, it doesn't mean the monitored MySQL clusters stop working. Orchestrator just won't be able to control the replication topologies anymore. This is similar to how MHA works: everything will work but you can not perform a failover until MHA is back up again.
At this moment, it's required to have a MySQL backend and there is no clear/tested support for having this in high availability (HA) as well. This might change in the future.
Database Server Installation Requirements
Orchestrator only needs a MySQL user with limited privileges ( SUPER, PROCESS, REPLICATION SLAVE, RELOAD) to connect to the database servers. With those permissions, it is able to check the replication status of the node and perform replication changes if necessary. It supports different ways of replication: binlog file positions, MySQL&MariaDB GTID, Pseudo GTID and Binlog servers.
There is no need to install any extra software on the database servers.
Automatic Master Failure Recovery
One example of what Orchestrator can do is promote a slave if a master is down. It will choose the most up to date slave to be promoted.
Let's see what it looks like:
In this test we lost rep1 (master) and Orchestrator promoted rep4 to be the new master, and started replicating the other servers from the new master.
With the default settings, if rep1 comes back rep4 is going to continue the replication from rep1. This behavior can be changed with the setting ApplyMySQLPromotionAfterMasterFailover:True in the configuration.
Command Line Interface
Orchestrator has a nice command line interface too. Here are some examples:
Print the topology:
> orchestrator -c topology -i rep1:3306 cli
rep1:3306 [OK,5.6.27-75.0-log,ROW,>>]
+ rep2:3306 [OK,5.6.27-75.0-log,ROW,>>,GTID]
+ rep3:3306 [OK,5.6.27-75.0-log,ROW,>>,GTID]
+ rep4:3306 [OK,5.6.27-75.0-log,ROW,>>,GTID]
+ rep5:3306 [OK,5.6.27-75.0-log,ROW,>>,GTID]
Move a slave:
orchestrator -c relocate -i rep2:3306 -d rep4:3306
Print the topology again:
> orchestrator -c topology -i rep1:3306 cli
rep1:3306 [OK,5.6.27-75.0-log,ROW,>>]
+ rep3:3306 [OK,5.6.27-75.0-log,ROW,>>,GTID]
+ rep4:3306 [OK,5.6.27-75.0-log,ROW,>>,GTID]
+ rep2:3306 [OK,5.6.27-75.0-log,ROW,>>,GTID]
+ rep5:3306 [OK,5.6.27-75.0-log,ROW,>>,GTID]
As we can see, rep2 now is replicating from rep4 .
Long Queries
One nice addition to the GUI is how it displays slow queries on all servers inside the replication tree. You can even kill bad queries from within the GUI.
Orchestrator Configuration Settings
Orchestrator's daemon configuration can be found in /etc/orchestrator.conf.json. There are many configuration options, some of which we elaborate here:
- SlaveLagQuery – Custom queries can be defined to check slave lag.
- AgentAutoDiscover – If set to True , Orchestrator will auto-discover the topology.
- HTTPAuthPassword and HTTPAuthUser – Avoids everybody being able to access the Web GUI and change your topology.
- RecoveryPeriodBlockSeconds – Avoids flapping.
- RecoverMasterClusterFilters – Defines which clusters should auto failover/recover.
- PreFailoverProcesses – Orchestrator will execute this command before the failover.
- PostFailoverProcesses – Orchestrator will execute this command after the failover.
- ApplyMySQLPromotionAfterMasterFailover – Detaches the promoted slave after failover.
- DataCenterPattern – If there are multiple data centers, you can mark them using a pattern (they will get different colors in the GUI):
While being a very feature-rich application, there are still some missing features and limitations of which we should be aware.
One of the key missing features is that there is no easy way to promote a slave to be the new master. This could be useful in scenarios where the master server has to be upgraded, there is a planned failover, etc. (this is a known feature request).
Some known limitations:
- Slaves can not be manually promoted to be a master
- Does not support multi-source replication
- Does not support all types of parallel replication
- At this moment, combining this with Percona XtraDB Cluster (Galera) is not supported
Is Orchestrator Your High Availability Solution?
In order to integrate this in your HA architecture or include in your fail-over processes you still need to manage many aspects manually, which can all be done by using the different hooks available in Orchestrator:
- Updating application connectivity:
- VIP handling,
- Updating DNS
- Updating Proxy server (MaxScale , HAProxy , ProxySQL…) connections.
- …
- Automatically setting slaves to read only to avoid writes happening on non-masters and causing data inconsistencies
- Fencing (STONITH) of the dead master, to avoid split-brain in case a crashed master comes back online (and applications still try to connect to it)
- If semi-synchronous replication needs to be used to avoid data loss in case of master failure, this has to be manually added to the hooks as well
The work that needs to be done is comparable to having a setup with MHA or MySQLFailover.
This post also doesn't completely describe the decision process that Orchestrator takes to determine if a server is down or not. The way we understand it right now, one active Orchestrator node will make the decision if a node is down or not. It does check a broken node's slaves replication state to determine if Orchestrator isn't the only one losing connectivity (in which it should just do nothing with the production servers). This is already a big improvement compared to MySQLFailover, MHA or even MaxScale's failoverscripts, but it still might cause some problems in some cases (more information can be found on Shlomi Noach's blog).
The amount of flexibility and power and fun that this tool gives you with a very simple installation process is yet to be matched. Shlomi Noach did a great job developing this at Outbrain, Booking.com and now at GitHub.
If you are looking for MySQL Topology Manager, Orchestrator is definitely worth looking at.

Does the Orchestrator get the old master's Binlog and merge slave's Binlog.
Is it as MHA?
Hi! orchestrator dev and maintainer here. Thank you for researching orchestrator and for this writeup! A few comments:
> At this moment, it's required to have a MySQL backend and there is no clear/tested support for having this in high availability (HA) as well. This might change in the future.
You have a few options. To begin with, please note that the orchestrator backend database is likely to be very small, less than a 1GB in size for most installations. Binary logs are going to consume more than the data.
– Setup Galera / XtraDB as backend
– Use NDB Cluster as backend (right now orchestrator strictly created tables as InnoDB)
I have not experimented with either the above options
– I'm working to support (yet to be published & documented) active-active master-master statement based replication. At this time orchestrator is known to not cause collisions and gracefully overwrite and converge data.
Right now I'm already using active-active (writable-writable) setup under HAProxy with
firstload balancing algorithm. The remaining concern right now is the case of a backend database failover at the time of performing a crash recovery on another cluster, and I'm working to make that failover graceful as well. Semi-sync is likely to play a role here.
Anything failing not-while-performing-failover is good to go.
> One example of what Orchestrator can do is promote a slave if a master is down. It will choose the most up to date slave to be promoted.
It is more than that, actually. You can mark designated servers to be "candidates", and orchestrator will prefer to promote them on best-effort basis.
To that effect, even if such a candidate server is not the most-up-to-date one, orchestrator will first promote a more fresh replica, converge your candidate instance onto that, and then promote it on top.
There is further ongoing work on further considerations such as conflicting configurations and versions. The most-up-to-date server is not always the one you actually want to promote.
Again, semi-sync can play a major role in this.
AgentAutoDiscover– this actually has to do with
orchestrator-agent, which is an altogether different beast and unrelated to auto-discovering your topology. You are likely to keep this variables as
> If semi-synchronous replication needs to be used to avoid data loss in case of master failure, this has to be manually added to the hooks as well
There is a contributor working on that right now.
> In order to integrate this in your HA architecture or include in your fail-over processes you still need to manage many aspects manually, which can all be done by using the different hooks available in Orchestrator
Orchestrator tries to be a general-purpose tool which you should be comfortable with deploying regardless of your network/configuration/topology setup. However this pain of "the final steps" of master promotion is shared to everyone. We're working to suggest a complete failover mechanism that would be generally applicable to many, based on orchestrator and other common open source software.
> The way we understand it right now, one active Orchestrator node will make the decision if a node is down or not. It does check a broken node's slaves replication state to determine if Orchestrator isn't the only one losing connectivity (in which it should just do nothing with the production servers).
Correct. Orchestrator analyses the topology as a whole and expects agreement from all servers involved to make sure it is not the only one who doesn't see right. Read more on: http://code.openark.org/blog/mysql/what-makes-a-mysql-server-failurerecovery-case
The case where an orchestrator node is completely network partitioned is being examined thank to feedback from @gryp.
Thank you for attributing Outbrain, Booking.com and GitHub, who all deserve deep respect for supporting open source in general and the open development of this tool in particular. The people in those companies (DBAs, Sys admins, Devs) have all contributed important feedback and I would like to recognize them for that.
Lastly, the project is open to contributions and there is already a group of awesome contributors, so if you feel like contributing, the door is open!

It does not. It runs agent-free thus does not merge master binlog entries that were not fetched by replicas. My orientation is to not pursue this, as semi-sync is an available mechanism that fills this need. A nice observations is the the original author of MHA uses (a variant of) semi sync for ensuring lossless failover at Facebook. Orchestrator is not aiming in particular at lossless failover, but with 5.7 semisync you should get just that.
There is expected work on semi-sync support in orchestrator. A contributor is working on that at this time.
@shlomi Could you not use SQLite to handle the backend stuff? This could reduce setup complexity and remove the SPOF, no?
– remove SPOF how? Via ActorDB? rqlite? I'm unfamiliar with these enough. Are they stable?
Is there a way for multiple orchestrator services to communicate to a single SQLite server, or otherwise to reliably read/write to a consensus-based, synchronous group of SQLite databases?
– Otherwise there's mostly the small-ish-and-yet-blocking limitation of no
INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATEin SQLite. At least my limited knowledge of SQLite shows this. Possibly there's an easy way around this.
Shlomi, there are some upsert options in SQLite. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/418898/sqlite-upsert-not-insert-or-replace
> Does the Orchestrator get the old master's Binlog and merge slave's Binlog.
I think this would be valuable, especially in environments where there is not the ability or will to go semi-sync
@manjotsinghpercona, I do not argue this could be useful & valuable. However it implies an agent-based solution as opposed to agent-less solution. This is of course doable, and there is, in fact, an
orchestrator-agent. It's a different complexity.
BTW another solution for you is to only put servers with
log_slave_updateson 1st replication tier, and have all the result below them. This ensures you do not lose replicas because orchestrator can rearrange the promotes servers anyway it likes.
@shlomi – does the Orchestrator will work with MYSQL 5.7 in case we won't use "multi-source replication" feature?
Is there a plan to support "multi-source replication" feature?
We do use Orchestrator with MySQL 5.7. I had a brief look into what's needed to support multi-source in Orchestrator and that needs quite a bit of work, but should be doable.
^ what Daniel said; also, for me multi-source is not on the roadmap; I've discussed with Daniel & friends the implications for supporting multi-source. Some aspects would be easy wins, others would require quite the change to the codebase.
Thanks for your reply Daniel and Shlomi.We will probably first migrate to 5.7 without using "multi-source replication" feature. When we will decide to use the feature we might make some changes in order to keep using the Orchestrator.
any way we will let you know.
I think Orchestrator is kind of limited for it's a go application that run on one database on one physical machine.
For DBaas services, use drag & drop is user friendly, may I try to extract your front end code to integregate with openstack?
@zdt I'm uncertain what you mean; to clarify, we run multiple orchestrator services in an HA setup, coordinating operations, managing many databases (the largest known setup to me runs thousands of databases).
Past contributions included Vagrant config (https://github.com/github/orchestrator/blob/master/Vagrantfile) ; recent contributions include Docker config.
I'm happy if you can further clarify what it is you wish to achieve, and preferably you can open an issue on https://github.com/github/orchestrator/issues?
You are of course free to do anything you like under the terms of the license (Apache 2)
Are there any working examples of scripts which should bring up VIPs or change proxy configuration?
@Matthew SQLite is now supported in the orchestrator/raft setup: http://code.openark.org/blog/mysql/orchestratorraft-pre-release-3-0
@Marko unfortunately not at this stage. Bringing up VIPs is too much ties to your specific infrastructure. For changing proxy configuration I suggest consul with consul-template (and in the future I'll provide working examples of integrating orchestrator & consul).
Given this blog post is popular, and given people ask me questions based on the contents of this post, I wish to list here some updates:
– orchestrator supports planned failovers, via:
orchestrator -c graceful-master-takeover -alias mycluster # Gracefully discard master and promote another (direct child) instance instead, even if everything is running well
This will make replica catch up to master, promote replica, attempt to set up old master below new master (reverse replication).
– orchestrator supports user-initiated non-graceful (panic) failovers. So a user can kick a failover even if orchestrator is confused, or doesn't see the problem, or is configured to not failover a specific cluster, etc. For master failover:
orchestrator -c force-master-failover -alias mycluster
This promotes a replica without waiting for it to catch up ; just kick the failover process.
orchestrator/raft is now released, and provides HA without MySQL backend HA. In fact, you can run orchestrator/raft on SQLite if you wish. The raft consensus protocol ensures leadership over quorum.

Hybrid Auto Service – Stop paying dealer prices!
Many drivers are switching to hybrid cars – in fact, JD Power and Associates reports that 10% of cars on the road in 2015 will be hybrids. A lot of hybrids require specialty services that conventional vehicles do not – fortunately, BRAKEmax has Hybrid Specialists who have been trained to service, diagnose, and repair most modern hybrid vehicles! Hybrids use two motors to make the vehicle run: an internal combustion engine that uses gasoline, and an electric motor. The Powertrain Control Module monitors your driving conditions and switches between the two motors depending on the demand. The electric motor is recharged during driving, both from the fuel burning in the internal combustion engine and through the kinetic energy that is recaptured during braking. As a result, most current hybrid vehicles do not need to be plugged in to an electrical outlet to recharge the batteries. As a AAA-Certified Green automotive repair facility, we want to help keep your "Green" vehicle on the road and running its best. If you're spending extra money at the dealer to service your hybrid vehicle, consider speaking with your local BRAKEmax associate about our expertise in handling your vehicle's service and maintaining your car's warranties.

BMF events: what's coming up in 2017?
During 2016's AGM, which took place in October, Mitch Elliott took on the new role of BMF Events Director. Mitch has a lot of plans, starting with increasing the exposure of events and introducing new ones across the country. Working with his co-organiser, Tony Nightingale, he has some grand ideas for next year...
Roaring to action
Mitch is keen to shake off the stigma that the BMF is 'just' a rights organisation. He is keen to establish events that appeal to everybody, with an emphasis on bringing the motorcycling community together.
Primarily, the BMF events are run for members and affiliated clubs, but Mitch is keen to endorse that non-members are welcome too. More importantly, any motorcycle is greeted, no matter its engine size or type – café racers, tourers, mopeds, trikes and more are all welcome.
The events are truly "run by bikers for bikers" and typically feature bands, good food, a bar, camping and fundraising. Families are invited and often the locations are dog-friendly too.
Present predictions
This year, the BMF Scotland Rally will be taking place on September 22-24. Once again, the venue will be the Stair Arms Hotel, Pathhead, which has seen some very successful rallies over the past few years. The hotel has lots of camping space and facilities which visitors can use.
Another date for your diaries is August 11-13, when the BMF Dambusters Rally will kick off again at Thorpe Camp Visitor Centre, Coningsby. Keep checking the Dambuster Rally Facebook page for the latest updates.
But it's not just 2017, Mitch explained how excited he is for next year. His main focus is adding new events to regions which have seen few BMF events before. Currently, he's looking toward the South West and the East, but he's also teased that there might be another Scottish event in the works.
For more information about upcoming BMF events, visit the BMF events page.
Long-distance touring, FIM style
It's not just the BMF flagship events you can enjoy in 2017. Along with local club and regional events (you can see a list of these on p66 and at the BMF website), many members are unaware of the fantastic opportunity available to tour abroad with the FIM's events every year.
Keith Freak, the BMF's representative within the FIM, explained that there are a number of great events, again "run for bikers by bikers". The biggest is the FIM Rally – a fully catered event, which sees 1,000 or so riders gather from 20-30 countries. There is also Motocamp – a smaller event that usually attracts only 200-300 riders who love to ride. Both of these are held in different countries every year, mainly within Europe.
If you have never toured abroad, Keith explained that these events are the best way to try it out. It gives you a taste of continental touring in a relaxed environment and the riders who play host will show you the greatest of their country and make sure you feel welcome.
If you are interested in going, the FIM Team GB website has all the entry forms, prices and information about the events for you to download. Entries for the FIM Rally and Motocamp close in late March. For more information or to book tickets, visit fimteamgb.co.uk.
And now it's your turn
Motorcycling is as much about our community as it is about riding. We'd love to hear about your local or club events so that we can publicise them on social media, in the magazine and on the BMF website. Similarly, it would be great to hear about how your events went, including all your photos – the best pictures might even be published in Rider or on our Facebook page! Get in touch at firstname.lastname@example.com.

US Ambassador not allowed to meet Pak Supreme Court bar chiefDecember 4th, 2007 - 1:12 pm ICT by admin
Lahore, Dec 4 (ANI): US Ambassador to Pakistan Anne W Patterson was not allowed to meet detained Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Aitzaz Ahsan at his residence.
The Punjab Government has extended Ahsans detention period for further 30 days, saying, if released, he could instigate lawyers to agitate against the government.
Patterson told reporters outside Ahsans residence that she tried to get special permission from the Punjab Government to meet him, but was denied the same.
She said she would try again to get permission to see Ahsan. She, however, met Bushra Aitzaz Ahsan, the lawyers wife.
"We have demanded from the Pakistan Government to release all political detainees, particularly Aitzaz Ahsan," Patterson said.
The situation turned odd for Patterson when two American human rights activists, Medea Benjamin and Tighe Barry, who have been staging a vigil outside Ahsans residence asked, Why the Bush Administration was supporting Musharraf?
Patterson ignored them as she hurriedly got into her car.
Annoyed by Pattersons attitude, both activists shouted at her, repeating their question at full pitch. They also tried to stop her car. They shouted that this administration is not representative of the American people.
Bushra Aitzaz, giving details of her meeting with Patterson, said that the Ambassador had expressed grave concern over the political unrest in Pakistan.
US is not appreciating these arrests and the suspension of judges and the Constitution, The Nation quoted her, as saying.
How free and fair elections can be possible when political figures are under arrest, Bushra quoted Patterson, as saying.
Bushra said she (Patterson) condemned Musharrafs claim and assurance to the US that all detainees have been freed. (ANI)

Local Discontinuous-Galerkin Schemes for Model Problems in Phase Transition Theory
Jenny Haink 1*, Christian Rohde 11 Fachbereich Mathematik - IANS, Universitat Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 57, D-70569 Stuttgart, Germany.
Received 2 August 2007; Accepted (in revised version) 29 April 2008
Available online 29 May 2008
Local Discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) schemes in the sense of \cite{CockburnShu} are a flexible numerical tool to approximate solutions of nonlinear convection problems with complicated dissipative terms. Such terms frequently appear in evolution equations which describe the dynamics of phase changes in e.g.~liquid-vapour mixtures or in elastic solids. We report on results for one-dimensional model problems with dissipative terms including third-order and convolution operators. Cell entropy inequalities and $L^2$-stability results are proved for those model problems. As is common in phase transition theory the solution structure sensitively depends on the coupling parameter between viscosity and capillarity. To avoid spurious solutions due to the counteracting effect of artificial dissipation by the numerical flux and the actual dissipation terms we introduce Tadmors' entropy conservative fluxes. Various numerical experiments underline the reliability of our approach and also illustrate interesting and (partly) new phase transition phenomena.AMS subject classifications: 65M99, 35M10

Strippers vs Werewolves
Strippers vs Werewolves is a 2012 low budget British Comedy/Horror directed by Jonathan Glendening and stars Billy Murray, Ali Bastian, Alan Ford and horror legend Robert Englund.
I don't know what to say about this film other then it felt like a challenge to watch it, don't get me wrong but I do enjoy some of the low budget films that have been coming out but this was just too bad.
The acting was worse then a school production and the "Strippers" looked like the girls who were turned away from Babestation and I dont know if it's just me but I am fed up of seeing Alan Ford being typecast as 'the old cockney geezer' as he is just the same in every film I have seen him in.
I am going to be honest and say that I couldn't make myself watch it all the way through as it really is that bad.
(Yes I know the picture is of shoddy quality but so was the film!)

ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Mich. -- Thursday the St. Joseph County Circuit Court exonerated Raymond McCann, 50, for his perjury conviction related to the 2007 murder of 11-year-old Jodi Parrack.
McCann served 20 months for perjury after taking a plea deal for a crime the court now agrees he did not commit. When he was asked by Crime Watch Daily if he had anything to do with Parrack's murder, McCann answered "No." He is now the fourteenth person the Michigan Innocence Clinic helped exonerate, working alongside the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University's Pritzker School of Law.
"It's a terrible story," said David Moran, Michigan Innocence Clinic director to FOX 17 Thursday. "I really have never seen a case like this where such a good man was ruined for nothing."
The tragedy began 10 years ago, Nov. 8, 2007, when 11-year-old Parrack went missing in the small St. Joseph County town of Constantine. At the time McCann was a reserve Constantine police officer off on sick leave for vertigo, and helped the search team locate Parrack's body by suggesting they search in the nearby cemetery. Soon after Parrack's body was found there.
"[Jodi] just looked like she was sleeping on her side and her hands were up," said Valerie Jo Gilson, Jodi Parrack's mother to Crime Watch Daily. "Her hair was all pulled over her face."
The murder case went cold, but when McCann became a person of interest Moran says a Michigan State Police detective used tactics like repeatedly lying to McCann and his family. The detective told them they had evidence allegedly connecting him to Parrack's murder including his DNA on Parrack and Parrack's DNA in McCann's truck. This police claim was false. McCann eventually took a plea deal, and pleaded no contest to perjury he did not commit.
"What's really disturbing is that they didn't just lie to Ray, they lied to Ray's wife, they lied to his son, they lied to his sister, they lied to just about everybody around him in what appears to be a deliberate tactic to isolate him," said Moran, who added that McCann is now divorced and estranged from many including never having met his grandson.
In response to FOX 17, MSP Public Affairs Manager Shanon Banner wrote in part:
"The Michigan State Police fully cooperated with the Michigan Innocence Clinic in this matter, as we also have no interest in seeing someone wrongfully convicted."
While in prison, Jodi Parrack's killer made this chilling to confession to police in 2015: "I killed Jodi and that's it," said Daniel Furlong, 65. "I didn't kill anybody else."
Police found Furlong when Mackenzie Stafford, 10, came forward and told police she escaped after Furlong lured her into his garage.
"He asked me if I could go in his garage and help him and I said, 'sure,'" said Stafford.
"All of a sudden he pulls me back and just grabbed me. He said, 'Shut up or I'll kill you.' I just turned around and kicked him and punched him," she said.
According to police interviews, Furlong told police he did not know McCann. And McCann maintains his innocence and that he does not know Furlong.
"I would pray that now that everything's out they'd have more of an understanding and realize I was just out there to help like everybody else," said McCann.
St. Joseph County Prosecutor John McDonough was unavailable for comment Thursday, after McCann's Motion for Relief from Judgment was signed.

There's Nothing Wrong With Jerad Eickhoff
This headline could make me look foolish depending on the outcome of tonight's game, but despite his relative struggles (4.43 ERA this year vs. 2.65 ERA in 2015), there's nothing to indicate that Jerad Eickhoff has been a worse pitcher this season than last.
First things first, let's take a look at Eickhoff's underlying stats this year versus last.
As you can see, his HR/FB% and BABIP have both increased since last year, while his rate of runners left on base plummeted almost 15 percentage points. However, his FIP, xFIP, and SIERA have hardly changed, despite the roughly 2 run difference in ERA.
This year, Eickhoff's ERA-FIP differential is 16th highest in the MLB out of 103 qualified pitchers; last year, if he qualified, he would have had the 9th lowest differential out of 79 qualified pitchers. In 2015, his LOB% would be 4th highest in the league, while his LOB% this year would have ranked tied for the second lowest. This paints the picture of a guy who was a little lucky last season, while being a bit unlucky this season.
Digging a little deeper, his velocity is down a little, but that's relatively common in the early months of the season. His overall fastball usage has been pretty consistent, though his use of his excellent curveball (+12.2 percentage points) has shot up at the expense of his serviceable slider (-8.5%). Not much significant change there.
Eickhoff's strikeout rate is down a little (24.1% to 20.9%), but his walk rate is also down (6.4% to 4.7%), which means his K/BB is actually higher than last year. He's allowed more home runs (0.88 per nine innings to 1.11), but a lower rate of fly balls (0.95 GB/FB to 1.31), and his line drive rate hasn't changed. He's allowed a higher BABIP, but his hard hit rate has actually declined by 5.5 percentage points. Each superficially negative indicator has a positive indicator which seemingly renders it moot.
I know it's unsatisfying to continually see analysis that urges patience due to small sample size, but that's what we're really seeing here. Eickhoff pitched a small sample of innings last year, and he's pitched even fewer this year. We just haven't seen enough of him to get a strong read on his ability or his future.
So there's good news and bad news. The bad news is Eickhoff is probably not the ace he looked like last year; the good news is he's probably not the Kyle Kendrick he's looked like this year either.

Boys never text you the things you want them to. They really don't. You can spend up to an hour crafting the most beautiful text message. A team of top-notch specialists can look it over and give you the "OK" before you send it off. You'll think to yourself, "This is it. This is the text message that will turn him into the person I want him to be. This will be the text that will make him realize that I like him and that he likes me."
The text you send is heartfelt without being overbearing, sweet without giving the recipient a toothache, thoughtful without being too "inside joke." You look at the text and almost cry because it's so exquisite. If you could just date this text message, you would. It'd be a hell of a lot easier, you know?
You send it. A giant weight is lifted…
