Javascript scopeOne of my least favorite things about javascript is scope management. In most languages scope is quite clear; if you defined a variable previously and "higher up" in some kind of scope stack, you can access it. And furthermore, this always refers to the current object. That's not quite true for javascript, because javascript is different than (almost) any other programming language you have ever used. You don't like monkeypatching? Bummer.

Album of the Week: To Watch the StormsThis week's AOTW is To Watch the Storms by Steve Hackett. I first heard of Steve Hackett (and also this album) in a sampler from InsideOut. I remember listening to the sampler and being blown away by both the Hackett song and the Flower Kings song. I later ordered this album and have consistently been impressed by the quality of the album. But quality is not all that it takes to make a great album.

Higher-Order PerlOne thing that I love about reading good programming books (maybe even good Perl programming books) is the humor instilled in them. Tonight I decided to start reading Higher Order Perl (which you can get free here!) Here is a selection from the frontispiece: … Hardly anyone wants to listen to Lisp programmers. Perl folks have a deep suspicion of Lisp, as demonstrated by Larry Wall's famous remark that Lisp has all the visual appeal of oatmeal with fingernail clippings mixed in.

Least Favorite Featuresbrian d foy (author of numerous perl books) asked this question on Stack Overflow: "What are five things you hate about your favorite language?" I figured that since I am trying to bring perl 6 to fruition (note: I've only written tests, so I am not very good at helping so far) I would pick perl 6 as my favorite programming language. Here was my answer: I'm going out on a limb since I can't really use it full time, but I'll try anyway!

Paranoid Deletion in DBIx::ClassIn the most well designed databases that I've used we never really deleted anything from the database. We would just mark a field as deleted and then just make sure to filter out the deleted data when we searched and it was all groovy. You could easily readd the item and you never truly lost much data. Well, now that I am using an ORM I'd like a similar feature in my current database and I'd like it to be as automatic as possible.

Rakudo AutobuilderFirst off, if you did not already know, rakudo is the first implementation of perl6. There is no plan for an official Perl 6 implementation, so we have to give this implementation a name other than perl6. Anyway, I know that you are all working diligently on perl6 like I am, so I know that you are having trouble because you have to rebuild parrot and rakudo which is kindav a hassle.

The Beginning of a Roles Based Authorization System for PerlToday I was talking with a friend about the stuff we are doing at work and I mentioned to him how I was planning on doing the authorization. Since I had only thought about it at that point I didn't even know if my idea was valid Perl syntax, let alone a feasible idea. But enough with the backstory, how about some real information. Let's assume that we have a webpage that lets you read user data and write user data.

Album of the Week: Metropolis Pt. 2Metropolis Part 2, by Dream Theater, is this weeks AOTW. This is one of those rare albums that must be listened to entirely, in order, and gaplessly. I am sure lots of you music people do this anyway. I know that I do for sure. But the thing is that these songs mostly have seamless transitions along with an important, plotish order. Metropolis Part 2 is a concept album. It is Prog Rock as it's by Dream Theater.

Community DifferencesI watched this keynote from frozen perl this weekend and it was pretty great. There are plenty things to take from this presentation, but the thing I want to mention comes from slides 66-77. Consider that mandatory reading to understand this blog post. Now read this, this, and almost any of these. Caveat Lector: All of those links may be outliers. I am certainly not reading a statistically valid sample of The Webternet; so maybe just consider this some random observations from this random dude.

Splits, panes, and tilesHow do you manage numerous windows when you have a gigantic viewing space? Or what if you have a really tiny viewing space? At work I have two 22" monitors and maximization is just too ridiculous to consider and it is typically a huge waste of space. I decided that if I am going to have a lot of windows open I should look into something that can help me tile things correctly.

A lot of the things that they are adding in Ext JS 3.0 will make the toolkit more compelling.

Album of the Week: UltravisitorUltravisitor, by SquarePusher, was one of the first experimental techno bands that I was introduced to. It has the distinction of being the only music I've ever listened to with my friend Fjord that he asked me to change. It is quite noisy, but it also has some very pretty parts. Do you have friends who say, "Yeah, I'll listen to pretty much anything except Country music," or some variation of that?

Ruby1.8 vs. Perl6First off let me say that I love ruby. Ruby more or less taught me functional programming, which I love. But I do think that perl6 (which you may think is vaporware) is better. I only post about features which I can use right now in rakudo. With that said we shall move onward. Update: the rest of this post, although still correct, is flawed. See comments for the Correct Ruby solution :-)

You too can help implement the language of the future!I just committed my first change to the perl6 spectest suite. It's exciting because perl6 has all of the great functional chaining that I love about ruby, but it also has killer awesome features that extremely few modern languages have (AST based macros anyone?) But it's been in active development for almost four years now and people have talked about it for almost nine! So what do you do when you see these amazing things that are just outside of our reach?

Why it's OK that perl doesn't really have irb (ipl?)Ok, so irb is totally great for testing out some syntax and general sanity checking, but we don't really have that with perl…or do we? I am sure that all of the real perl hackers out there know this, but the best perl shell is your real shell. If I wanna do some cool stuff with perl I can do a lot of it directly from my shell with -e (I recommend -E as you can use 'say', which is helpful so that you can avoid quote issues.

Using "Rails" wisdom in PerlOk so that may be a sensational title, but really the point is this: Rails people talk a lot, perl people just get stuff done. I am ok with getting stuff done, but I don't know how perl people do it because they don't talk about it as much. Anyway, with that in mind my company (MTSI) is starting a new project next week.

Ruby style functional programming in Perl!So recently I was asking if andand exists in perl (here and here) and someone implemented it! How awesome is that? See it here. Anyway, so I looked at the code and figured, "Well heck, if it's that easy, I should do this for map and join on arrays!" It was already done! The autobox::Core module does it already! You have to use more javascript-y syntax instead of regular perl-ish, but I think it makes things more clear anyway.

Migrating from IIS to ApacheAt my job we use a combination of IIS, SQL Server, and Perl. In general it works pretty well. But there is one major problem: if we ever do a warn in perl, instead of printing the message to the log, it crashes the server. That's a big deal since multiple people are using the server and fixing the issue means VNCing in and recycling the app pool. This doesn't always happen, but it happens a lot; enough to make me consider setting up Apache on my personal computer so that I can get some serious logging.

Best Auto Care Customer Experience Ever! To make an online appointment, ARautoPro followed up by phone and by email. The shop has a very friendly, welcoming staff. The oil change took about 45 minutes and they even washed my car inside and out. I watched as the owner wiped my windows clean. After the service was complete they gave me a run down on maintenance recommendations and estimates of what it would cost without any coercion. This place was great. I want to business with them again and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs auto-care or a quick tune-up.

"Fast Turnaround"
Professional, personal, responsive, and very fairly priced is the take away from my first repair with Rob and Ron. When my 2002 Avalon needed a new transmission, I conducted a fresh search through YELP, Angie's List, other Internet lists and focused in on the consistent quality reports coming from ARautoPRO. Very grateful to have found these brothers. They presented several options from rebuilt to used; helped me locate a low mileage used transmission; added a 12 month/12,000 mile full P&L warranty for $199; turned the work around faster than promised; kept me fully informed during the repairs; and saved me $2400 over what the Toyota Dealer quoted. Definitely a come-back-to place.

I brought in my 2003 Nissan Murano last week for an oil change- my 3rd with this establishment. He does the necessary checks standard to oil changes, no upselling or unnecessary services.
I mentioned my long standing issue with my start up/idling stalls that's been plaguing my vehicle since 2005. The local area Nissan dealers have failed to remedy the issue. Rob got in my vehicle, duplicated the issue and offered a remedy by cleaning the throttle body mechanism - VOILA! Fixed after a $45 labor charge. I have to say that I am thoroughly impressed by his technical expertise. I will definitely be a customer for as long as he's around.

Microsoft Australia calls fibre-to-the-premises 'best outcome' for NBN
Mal the Builder … will he listen?
Microsoft's Australian managing director Pip Marlow has reportedly told an event staged by the Committee for Economic Development of Australia that the nation's new government should not proceed with its policy of a fibre-to-the-node National Broadband Network (NBN).
Newswire AAP reports that Marlow argued for the retention of a fibre-to-the-premises build for the controversial project.
"We're encouraging the government to be looking at all the options and really understanding how businesses, how schools, how individuals will be using this technology," the report says she told the event. Marlow is also reported to have said she is lobbying new communications minister Malcolm Turnbull over the matter.
Microsoft has posted a version of Marlow's remarks that make no mention of the NBN but does discuss the impact of disruptive change.
In response to The Reg's queries about the speech, the company has also sent us the following remarks it generously says we can attribute to a spokesperson:
"Microsoft supports ubiquitous high speed broadband access for all Australians. To realise the true benefits of cloud computing, upload speeds are crucial, and upload speeds cannot be guaranteed over copper. We therefore think fibre to the premise to as much of the country as possible, is the best outcome. We continue to engage with Government on a range of matters."
Redmond's antipodean outpost has form advocating for connectivity and broadband. In the mid-90s Microsoft Australia briefly partnered with Telstra to create dialup ISP OnAustralia. In the early 2000s the company campaigned for government investment in broadband, an effort that arguable bore fruit as various programs emerged to ensure regional areas would not be ignored by telcos.
Microsoft weighing in to this debate sets up a fascinating dynamic. In one corner is industry suggeting that FTTP is necessary if Australia is to become an agent of change, not its victim. In the other is the coalition's policy that the NBN need only deliver entertainment services and cannot be allowed to disrupt the national balance sheet.
Of course the technology industry's position is a little self-serving, but will nonetheless be welcomed by the growing number of citizens advocating for retention of the FTTP NBN plan. ®
Simon Sharwood worked for Microsoft's external PR company from 2000-2002, but not on teams conducting broadband advocacy.

Inna Uchkunova, New Bulgarian University (LLM) is a Member of the International Moot Court Competition Association.
The Judgment in the case concerning Questions Relating to the Obligation to Prosecute or Extradite (Belgium v. Senegal) is the first in the history of the International Court of Justice ("ICJ") in which it found that a State had standing based on obligations erga omnes partes. Before that, the PCIJ had only once to pronounce on this question in the 1928 Wimbledon case. In para. 68 of its judgment the Court stated, inter alia, that:
The States parties to the Convention have a common interest to ensure, in view of their shared values, that acts of torture are prevented and that, if they occur, their authors do not enjoy impunity. The obligations of a State party to conduct a preliminary inquiry into the facts and to submit the case to its competent authorities for prosecution are triggered by the presence of the alleged offender in its territory, regardless of the nationality of the offender or the victims, or of the place where the alleged offences occurred. All the other States parties have a common interest in compliance with these obligations by the State in whose territory the alleged offender is present. That common interest implies that the obligations in question are owed by any State party to all the other States parties to the Convention. All the States parties "have a legal interest" in the protection of the rights involved (Barcelona Traction, Light and Power Company, Limited, Judgment, I.C.J. Reports 1970, p. 32, para. 33). These obligations may be defined as "obligations erga omnes partes" in the sense that each State party has an interest in compliance with them in any given case.
The Court's reference in the judgment to the Barcelona Traction case may create confusion as to the difference between obligations erga omnes partes (Article 48(1)(a) of the ILC Articles on the Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts (ARSIWA)) "owed to a group" of States and erga omnes obligations (per se) which are "owed to the international community as a whole" (Article 48(1)(b)). The ARSIWA Commentary clarifies that the name "owed to the international community as a whole" was preferred over erga omnes in order to avoid confusion "with obligations owed to all the parties to a treaty." The better view seems, therefore, to be that obligations erga omnes partes exist in the case of treaties such as the CAT or the Genocide convention, while obligations erga omnes form part of customary law.
Article 48 ARSIWA represents progressive development, but the Court in East Timor did not rule out standing deriving from obligations erga omnes either. It merely stated that "the erga omnes character of a norm and the rule of consent to jurisdiction are two different things." (para. 29) In that case the Court lacked jurisdiction based on the Monetary Gold principle. It remains to be seen whether erga omnes skeptics are to be proven right or wrong.

They first made an attempt on the east face of South Avellano Tower, climbing approximately 400m of the 800m wall, with difficulties up to 5.10- and 5.7 R. After this they made the first recorded ascent of the north ridge of the Tooth (100m, 5.7). Lastly, they climbed the Tooth by its southwest ridge: Filo Suroeste (305m, 5.10). Jared Spaulding has compiled a PDF with notes and photos of all known climbs, attempts, and exploration in the Avellano Towers—download it here.

KC2 Mountain Orcs
Alternative Armies
"Down from the top caves and the slopes of scree they come. Down to the valleys and our flat lands to bring us death. They look down upon us before they descend and then they look down upon is when they are but an arms length from our rusted swords. They are the largest of the Goblinoid races and make terrifying foes indeed. Last season we hired the Ogres and their handlers from Grubberstatte who kept the Orcs away with the threat of their steel but not this year. Not now the snows are gone, for the Ogres left not just with our coin but with our grain and our lifestock stuck in their belts. I fear we will all die and worse. When the Orcs of the mountains discover we are not only skint but hungry ourselves they will likely feast upon our flesh and suck the marrow of our bones."
This code contains three different 25mm/28mm white metal miniatures approx 30mm average height. Great quality, great choice and great value too.
Poses in this code are as follows:
KC2-01: Mountain Orc with Spiked Club and Round Shield.
KC2-02: Mountain Orc with huge Spiked Mace.
KC2-03: Mountain Orc with large Sword and Round Shield.
These miniatures are not supplied with bases and are supplied unpainted. Select your choice from the drop down product menu. Choose from a pack, three packs with a 10% saving applied and single miniatures. Total choice! Assembly is required with some white metal miniatures.
Scale image shows KC2 with KC1 Coblynau. They go wonderfully together. Not supplied here but check code KC1.

So, after 33 days of running 2k every day, I have stopped. And I confess, after looking out the window at the branches snapping from the trees and the rain whipping itself into tiny vicious circles, I am relieved about the decision. Although, although, I quite happily ran in the same conditions earlier in the month.
There are a few things I've learnt from the running streak times, though.
1) It's perfectly possible to exercise every single day. Indeed, it's easier, because there's no question about whether or not you might work out every day, for you know that you're going to, so you just need to work out when in the day.
2) A month is all you need to get better at running. A month is enough to see progress in anything. I shaved minutes off the amount of time it took me to run 2k, and, by the end of the month, could reliably run 5k in under half an hour, which years of running a couple of times a week didn't achieve.
3) When you resent things, it's okay to shake them up and move on. What I think the important lesson for me here is, I needed to go straight into something else. Something I wanted to do, but felt I could do without any problem. At the moment I've two things going – a 30 day ab workout thing I saw randomly on Twitter, that takes about two minutes a day, but still gives measurable progress, and Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred. Both are easily achievable in half an hour, don't require any things or prep or organising, and, this time around, I don't even have to leave the house, so can easily get up early for!
So the plan is to shift things up every thirty days or so, as best makes sense. To try to stick to something for a full month so I can reap the benefits, both mental and physical, of measurably progress. I think it might be an idea to move between indoor and outdoor occupations, but we'll see how I feel about that come March. The trick is, I think, to be as good to myself as I can be whilst being completely committed to doing something every day.
But, if you find it hard to regulate thrice-weekly workouts or so on, I fully advocate a crack at a streak. Less, daily, is more, weekly, and more overall. Which is a good thing. Obvs listen to your body a bit and all that, but I also found that, by the end of the month (except the bit where I fell over horribly, ripped my leggings and wound up with a bruise the size of an egg on my knee), I was experiencing precisely none of the niggles, aches and pains I had early on in the month. It was, it turned out, possible to run them all off. Which was nice.
The whole thing, in fact, was extremely nice. May it continue!

|Re: manipulating content of stored fields

Lucene does not permit one to modify documents that are already indexed. You must delete them and re-index them, even if changes are only to non-indexed fields. Lucene should not be used as a document database. It is a full-text indexing library, which, as a convenience, permits one to store unindexed fields with documents.

"A parish in the poor-law union of Llanfyllin, in the Cynlleth and Mochnant divisions of the hundred of Chirk, county of Denbigh; 10 miles (WSW) from Oswestry, on the road from Shrewsbury to Bala, containing 323 inhabitants. This parish was formerly a chapelry to Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant, but was separated from that parish by Act of Parliament, and formed into a parish of itself. The village is pleasantly situated on the banks of the river Tanant; the neighbourhood abounds with pleasingly varied scenery; and in the environs are some good mansions, the residences of respectable families. ..... Slate of good quality has recently been discovered within the parish." [A Topographical Dictionary of Wales, 1833 & 1849, Samuel Lewis]
The parish was originally a chapelry of Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant, comprising (according to Archdeacon Thomas) the townships of Llangedwyn and Esgair Gwgan. In 1877, portions of the townships of Sycharth and Priddbwll, were added to it from the parish of Llansilin.

Fact: Being surrounded by water, Malta, Gozo and Comino offer a beach to suit every demand from it sun worshippers to windsurfers.
Malta is widely known as the Fortress Island and this reputation is well deserved. Dotted all over the coast you will see evidence of the great sea defences that made the island an impenetrable fortress for centuries, even up to and including World War Two.
Valletta's dizzyingly high fortifications are the island's most impressive testament to its past conflicts. The military glory of Malta'is none more evident than in Fort St Elmo, a star-shaped fort that bears the scars of the Great Siege of 1565, when it was the key to the Knights of St John's defence of the island from Turkish forces seeking a stepping-stone to Europe.
The fortress also proved impenetrable against Italian naval forces during World War Two, when Malta was one of the most heavily bombed areas. This is commemorated in the Lascaris War Rooms and through exhibits such as Faith, the Gloucester Gladiator plane that once defended the island.

There simply aren't enough opportunities in today's digitally dominated world to celebrate and support each other in physical spaces. A comment, a share, a like—they're all only so meaningful, but championing our deserving friends face-to-face is something screens will never replace. Tonight, one of our favorite faces and spirits in New York culture, Maya Monès, will bring people together to party with purpose at Cinco De Maya, the ultimate fund-rager.
From 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. at the Wyndham Hotel's Wu Room Lounge & Biergarten, 93 Bowery, guests are invited to come support Monès' transition with $5 minimum at-door donations all going straight toward funding her Facial Feminization Surgery. The event will feature DJ sets from NAR, ITYS, Bearcat, HD and Serena Jara, as well as a live performance from AHSH EFF. Johmaris Ramos will also be on-site, creating live sketches for suggested donations.
"When I look in the mirror, I don't see the Maya that I see in my head, which is unbelievably frustrating and exhausting," Monès explained. "My biggest dream is to one day feel comfortable in my own skin and if I can have that, I can do anything. I've decided that the next step in my journey is FFS (Facial Feminization Surgery), which is a step that many trans women take to soften our features and present what we have been wishing to see in our reflections. This is a necessary step to live my life happily which is all I want from it, truly. Like many other aspects of transitioning, FFS is something that is very costly and I realized I simply can't win this crucial fight alone."
For those outside of New York, Monès has created an online fundraiser to help reach a $25,000 goal. Her dream procedures include forehead reconstruction, rhinoplasty, genioplasty and a trachea shave, all of which come with a daunting, but attainable, price tag. Support, support, support.
New York illustrator emotwink has also created this limited edition print (11''x17'') to help fund Monès' FFS, which can be purchased online for $20.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As U.S. health officials struggle to vaccinate tens of millions of Americans against the pandemic of swine flu, some are looking regretfully at one easy way to instantly double or triple the number of doses available — by using an immune booster called an adjuvant.
These additives, often as simple as an oil and water mixture, broaden the body's response to a vaccine, reducing the amount of active ingredient called antigen needed.
They are widely used in European flu vaccines as well as in Canada. But not in the United States — even though the federal government has spent nearly $700 million buying them.
The reason — people might not trust them.
"If we really do want pregnant women to trust this vaccine or even parents, we have to think about what is acceptable to them," Dr. Anne Schuchat of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in an interview.
"We have so much vaccine hesitancy in this country," agreed Jeff Levi of the non-profit Trust For America's Health. "To add ... a new element could well have undermined the efficacy of this campaign," Levi told a hearing this week before a Congressional subcommittee.
This frustrates the World Health Organization, which says the global capacity to make influenza vaccines is about 3 billion doses a year — not enough to cover the population of 6.8 billion people. WHO has hoped rich countries would donate leftover H1N1 vaccine to others.
The U.S. Health and Human Services Department was ready to try adjuvants had the pandemic been worse. H1N1 swine flu has infected an estimated 22 million Americans and killed 3,900, but it so far does not appear to be any deadlier than seasonal influenza.
The worry is that it is affecting younger adults and children instead of the elderly usually targeted by flu, and has the potential to mutate into something more deadly.
"If things had been worse and this would have been a more severe pandemic, we may well have needed to go that way anyway," Levi said.
Instead, the United States has stuck with what CDC director Dr. Thomas Frieden has repeatedly called the "tried and true" approach — the same formulation used in seasonal flu vaccines. Five companies have contracts — Sanofi-Aventis, CSL, Novartis, AstraZeneca unit MedImmune and GlaxoSmithKline.
Polls show that only about half of Americans plan to be vaccinated against H1N1. Of those who do not, about half say they worry about safety.
Even so, long lines have formed as people try to get the 50 million or so swine flu doses that have rolled out of factories. Drug companies have struggled with an unpredictable virus that does not grow well in eggs, as well as changes to U.S. orders that slowed down packaging.
Studies suggest the supply that is out now could have been tripled.
In September, GlaxoSmithKline found a single shot of its H1N1 vaccine protected 98 percent of volunteers, using an adjuvant and just 5.25 micrograms of antigen. A standard dose without adjuvant takes 15 micrograms of antigen.
Vaccine makers urged Congress this week to help federal agencies find ways to approve the use of adjuvants, and to assure skeptical Americans about their safety.
Dr. Vas Narasimhan, president of Novartis Vaccines USA, noted adjuvants had been licensed for use in Europe for 10 years and tested in 200,000 people.
"Adjuvanted vaccines produce higher immune response than unadjuvanted vaccines particularly in the elderly and young children," Narasimhan told a hearing this week.
He said they may protect better than standard vaccines against viruses that have drifted a little — the single biggest reason that flu vaccines must be re-formulated every year.
They may also eventually help require less vaccination. "Adjuvanted vaccines have been shown to more broadly prime patients' immune response (up to seven years later), requiring fewer vaccinations to the newly circulating strain," he said.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is intrigued. Last month it awarded $60 million to researchers and companies to develop new adjuvants.

Soon Delhiites will ditch the bottle for some freshly brewed craft beer as the the capital has finally got a nod from the government to open microbreweries. However, it may be a while before the first one opens. Meantime, many new ones have mushroomed across Gurgaon over the past year, each one offering richer and more flavourful ales, lagers and wheat brews.
Of course, you have your favourites by now but when you're in the mood to experiment, take your pick from these breweries.
Beer connoisseurs who swear by their favourite lager at Downtown in Sector 29 now have another option in Galleria Market. Uptown Fresh Beer Cafe, opened by the same brand, serves the same beer as Downtown – Wheat, Premium and Dark. Choose from burgers, hot dogs, pizzas and munchies to go along with the brew – the food is also delicious. The upbeat music will remind you of the 90s.
Where: Galleria Market, DLF Phase IV
They've mixed science with food and come up with some really interesting dishes. But when it comes to beer it's their signature Molecule Brew that's a winner all the way. The tall golden brew is packed with a punch. If it's not upto your taste, try Premium, Weiss or Roasted Malt beer. Nibblers like Air Bread and Puchka Shots are perfect to much with the beer. We've heard that they are soon going to start serving Blueberry beer.
Where: Sector 29
Brewing four types of beer, choose from Amber Red, Premium Lager, Schwarzbier (Dark) and Weiss Bier (Wheat). While the Amber Red is rich in malty sweetness, the Dark beer is a heady combination of complex flavours like bananas, cloves, caramel, raisins and coffee as well. Our favourites from the menu are: Peri Peri Chicken Tikka Tacos, Cheesy Fries, BBQ Chicken Sausages, Chicken Lemongrass Skewers and Kolhapuri Lamb Chops.
Where: DLF Mega Mall, DLF Phase 1
Cyber Hub's newest microbrewery serves four varieties – Indian Pale Ale, Wheat, Special Lager and Dark beer. They use Wayermann malts from Germany to brew these flavours and the wheat beer has a hint of banana and cloves. The Indian Pale Ale doesn't live up to its name for it's a strong and heady beer. Don't miss the finger food, especially the lip-smacking wasabi prawns.
Where: DLF Cyber City
This brewery serves some of the best beer in this part of the city. Choose from Belgium Wheat, Fantastic Lager and Dark Knight, each one being as flavourful as it sounds. The Wheat beer is slightly citrus in taste with hints of orange and light, the Lager is a light one and Dark Knight is heavy with roasted special German chocolate malt. The menu is huge and choosing from more than 150 dishes is a daunting task. Their Oriental starters, burgers and pizzas are quite good.
Where: JMD Megapolis Mall, Sohna Road
The sheer size of this sprawling pub wows you from the moment you set foot in Factory by Sutra. Spread over four levels, it even has a terrace and garden that's perfect for cool and windy evenings. When it comes to the beer – they brew four varieties – Bohemian Lager, German Wheat, Belgian Red Ale and Irish Black. The last one is really strong and dark, those who prefer a lighter touch should opt for the German Wheat. Their menu is an interesting range offering a section of Chandni Chowk delicacies, Kolkata rolls and Mumbai pav apart from the regular affair of Chinese and continental dishes.
Where: Sector 29

Physician Services
Bishop Wicke Health & Rehabilitation Center is proud to partner with Dr. Daniel E. Wollman, MD, PhD, who serves as the medical director for our Wesley Village campus. If your primary care physician does not currently make visits to Bishop Wicke, one of our qualified physicians will care for your needs throughout your rehab stay. Our medical staff will then collaborate with your primary care physician upon discharge to ensure a smooth transition back home and to your community.
Most individuals we serve utilize the services of a physician for guidance and assistance with changes of normal aging as well as when illness strikes. At UMH, these services are available on-site in the form of primary care (internist) along with specialty care, such as behavioral health, rehabilitation, dental care, and laboratory services. Too often today, most people find that their care is delegated to multiple individuals without a true "captain of the ship". Our goal at UMH is for individuals to be treated in a holistic manner - one which recognizes the complexities of medical care across multiple aspects of one's health.
Daniel E. Wollman MD, PhD has served UMH as the medical director for our Wesley Village campus since 2005. During this time, he has worked closely with the health services division to ensure the highest quality of medical care is provided on our campus. Dr. Wollman provides both primary care and consulting services for memory and cognitive deficits at Wesley Village. Dr. Wollman is a faculty member and lecturer for the Frank M. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University. He completed his undergraduate, graduate, and medical training at the University of Pennsylvania and is board-certified in Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, and Hospice and Palliative Care.
Leading the Way - Recognized for Providing Outstanding Care
What does it say when local university and hospital programs partner with your facility to train and mentor future healthcare professionals? Bishop Wicke Health and Rehabilitation Center serves as a geriatric clinical training site for sophomore nursing students from Fairfield University. This relationship offers students hands-on experience with Bishop Wicke's innovative, relationship-centered care design and mission-driven philosophy of care. Bishop Wicke also serves as the preferred and only geriatric clinical site for Griffin Hospital (Derby, CT) CNA and PCA students each semester.

The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl
A bookish observation
I've just finished listening to The Dante Club AudioBook and will miss inhabiting it very much. The environment of the "fireside poets" and their city of Boston was really interesting, learning about Dante's poetry was enlightening and the mystery that held it all together moved along at a pace that suited me very well. And very importantly, as listeners will know, the audio-reading of a book can make it or break it, John Siedman's reading of this book matched to story's voices perfectly. A lovely long listen. Well done Matthew Pearl! Don't miss it everyone, it's a goody.

"Mine was a DUI matter and I learned that there are basically three types of DUI attorneys in general: 1) Bait and Switch; 2) Dishonest and greedy and; 3) Honest and ethical. Mark is the latter. The clients who give him a bad rating probably think that they can just pay their…" JJ
For nearly ten years, Arizona has recognized two levels of drunk driving — standard DUI, in which a blood alcohol content (BAC) level of .08 percent will support a conviction, and extreme DUI, for those with a BAC of .15 or above. Today, Arizona also has "Super Extreme" DUI. This comes with a more severe penalty: 45 days in jail, if the BAC is more than .20!
An extreme DUI conviction can include a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 days in jail, heavy fines, impoundment of your vehicle for 30 days, installation of an ignition interlock device with GPS monitoring on your car, and classes. That's for a first offense. Any repeat extreme DUI conviction within a seven-year period carries even tougher minimum penalties. Fortunately, none of our clients who have been charged with Super Extreme DUI, since it became law in September 2007, have been convicted….NONE. In all cities in Maricopa County, house arrest is available. If you qualify, you serve 20 percent of the sentence in jail (with work release), and the balance at home. Very soon the Counties will also have home arrest available.
As of 1 January 2012, there is a way to get all but nine days suspended or taken off of the 30-day jail sentence on extreme, and all but 14 on super extreme convictions. It is not automatic, but we can help you get it accomplished.
If you need help with defense of a charge under these harsh penalties, the extreme DUI lawyers at the Weingart Firm can help you. If you're facing a first offense extreme DUI charge, our experienced attorneys will concentrate on developing the following aspects of your defense:
Where a repeat offense charge of extreme DUI depends on proof of a prior conviction within the previous seven years, our lawyers will conduct a careful examination of the facts and procedures in the older case to prevent it from counting as a prior offense. The difference can prevent you from serving at least two months in jail and being subject to more than $3,000 in fines. A third offense within seven years is charged as aggravated DUI, which is a felony.
Experts in the field understand perfectly well that a BAC of .15 percent does not mean that a person is extremely drunk. What's extreme about the Arizona DUI law is the minimum punishment if you're convicted.
Our extreme DUI defense lawyers can also help you release the impoundment of your car. If someone else is on the title, it can be released to that person. We can also challenge the constitutionality of allowing the same police who impounded the vehicle to decide whether it should be released.
The Weingart Law Firm holds the AV rating* under Martindale-Hubbell's peer review rating system. Four of our attorneys have long and impressive experience with the defense and trial of DUI cases, and our lawyers recently ran a remarkable streak of 26 victories out of 30 extreme DUI trials, in which the BAC readings varied from .17 to .32 percent. Phoenix defense attorney Mark Weingart is a founding member of the National College of DUI Defense and has tried more than 500 cases in his 30-year career.
If you've been charged with first, second, or third offense extreme DUI, get the experienced and resourceful representation you need by contacting the DUI trial attorneys at the Weingart Law Firm in Tempe.

While I was in Boulder, CO, two weeks ago on business, I worked out at a local club affiliated with the hotel where I stayed (and the club at which my boss is a member). The club seemed very clean, pleasantly designed with plush white towels and sanitizing spray (plus paper towels) ready for anyone who needed them. The locker room was gorgeous. However, if I was overweight, I don't think I would be a member at this club. Why? Because they obviously didn't want me to be a member. How could I tell? The cardio equipment was so packed together in one tiny area of the club, that if I had been a heavy person, I would have caused myself huge embarrassment trying to get between two pieces of equipment. Even at my normal weight, I was uncomfortable walking between the equipment, so I hopped on the first equipment I came to.
Why in the world would such a nice club place its equipment in such a way? The ellipticals and treadmills were set up so they touched from front to back, meaning the rows—if you could call them rows—were to the side of each piece of equipment. That type of layout would be fine if more room had been allotted for the rows. I'm certain the spacing did not meet ADA requirements.
And the layout definitely would cause anyone who is heavy to walk out the door without signing up for a membership. In fact, during my one-hour workout in the early morning hours on a Thursday, I did not see a single heavy person walk into the club. Boulder is one of the healthiest cities in the country. Perhaps it just doesn't have any overweight citizens?

Politics has been corrupted by big money interests for far too long, where neither Democrats or Republicans serve the will of average Americans. The Progressive Party is the party to represent main street.
No longer will politicians be able to campaign one way, and govern another. The Progressive Party will stand true to the values it sets forth and will reject the influences of big money interests. It's time to really drain the swamp.
Unlike false progressives in the past, The Progressive Party will stand true to our ideals and will implement litmus tests for all our candidates, ensuring that the will of the people is represented.

Is there anything more universally flattering than pearl jewelry? The moment you put it on, it's like you're transported into this beautiful universe where everyone wears white gloves and holds doors for each other. Basically, exactly the universe I would choose to live in (as long as I could bring the internet with me).
In college, I wore pearls every day (yup, that girl? that was me.). I wore them to the gym (a jeweler told me that the more you wear them, the more lusterous the pearls become, and I used that as an excuse to never take them off, ever). And it was true — my pearls were incredibly beautiful after a few years (although they did have to be restrung several times).
I still love the simplicity of a simple strand of pearls, but these days, I want my jewelry to have a little more glamour to it. Not just one pearl bracelet, but multiple strands and different sizes. Add some layers and ties and the prettiest jeweled clasps? That's how you take a beautiful classic and make them completely modern and fresh.
BHLDN has the most beautiful bridal jewelry, and I could absolutely see this bracelet and earrings on a bride for her big day. But you know where else I can see them? On me, at the grocery store. Out for coffee. Dressed up for a special weekend dinner. Because you know what style I reach for over and over? My classic, elegant pearls.

Posts Tagged 'OECD oil consumption'
Will growing Costs of new Oil Supplies knock against declining Consumers' Affordability?
In this post I present developments in world crude oil (including condensates) supplies since January 2007 and per June 2016. Further a closer look at petroleum demand (consumption and stock changes) developments in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for the same period and what this implies about demand developments in non OECD.
The data used for this analysis comes from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) Monthly Energy Review.
- The OECD has about half of total global petroleum consumption.
- Since December 2015 OECD total annualized petroleum consumption has grown about 0.2 Mb/d [0.5%].
[Primarily led by growth in US gasoline and kerosene consumption, ref also figure 6.]
- The OECD petroleum stock building was about 0.4 Mb/d during Jan-16 – Jun-16, which is a decline of about 0.6 Mb/d from the same period in 2015. This implies a 2016YTD net decline in total OECD demand of 0.4 Mb/d.
- World crude oil supplies, according to EIA data, have declined 1.3 Mb/d from December-15 to June-16, ref figures 1 and 2.
- The above implies that non OECD crude oil consumption/demand has declined about 1 Mb/d since December 2015.
This while the oil price [Brent Spot] averaged about $40/b.
This may now have (mainly) 2 explanations;
- The present EIA data for crude oil for the recent months under reports actual world crude oil supply, thus the supply data for 2016 should be expected to be subject to upward revisions in the future.
- Consumption/demand in some non OECD regions/countries are in decline and this with an oil price below $50/b.
If this should be the case, then it needs a lot of attention as it may be a vital sign of undertows driving world oil demand.
Oil is priced in US$ and US monetary policies (the FED) affect the exchange rate for other countries that in addition have a portion of their debts denominated in US$ thus their oil consumption is also subject to the ebb and flows from exchange rate changes.
YTD 2016, only OPEC has shown growth in crude oil supplies relative to 2015.
Unit costs ($/b) to bring new oil supplies to the market is on a general upward trajectory while the consumers' affordability threshold may be in general decline.
The Contango Spread Supports The Oil Price And Results In Strong Stock Building
As analysts and pundits keep staring into their crystal balls searching for clues to future moves in the oil price, it may be more helpful to look at some actual developments that may explain the recent strong US stock builds, developments in US total petroleum consumption and what this now may presage about future oil price movements.
In this post I present a closer look at the recent growth in US total petroleum demands split into:
- Development in US total petroleum consumption (inclusive some selected products)
- Rate of stock build of US commercial crude oil stocks
Then a look at developments in crude oil supplies from OPEC where several of the big oil producers in the Middle East have had strong growth in the number of oil rigs since early 2014. Recent media reports about increases in oil supplies from the biggest Middle East oil producer.In Q1 2014 the average daily US stock build was 0.29 Mb/d and during Q1 2015 the average US daily stock build was 1.10 Mb/d.
Demand for US stock build was up 0.8 Mb/d year over year. This stronger stock build temporarily adds to (global) demand and supports the oil price.
What drives this strong stock build is the price spread between contracts for prompt/front month deliveries versus contracts for later deliveries when the futures curve is in what is referred to as contango, refer also figure 3.
The recent strong builds in US crude oil storage may give away some clues about underlying developments in consumption.
Demand = Consumption + Stock changes = Supplies
