If You Have an iPhone, You're Probably Smart, Married and Female
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The U.S. consumer smartphone market reached a historical milestone this year of 119 million users, according to ComScore.
For the record, Google's (GOOG) Android models are the most widely used smartphones, with a 52% market share, followed by Apple's (AAPL) iPhones at 34%, in ComScore data for the three months ending Sept. 12.
While Android and Apple duke it out, another study tries to define who smartphone users are based on the phone they choose. The study, from iGRM, an Austin, Texas, online and mobile marketing strategy firm, talked to 1,001 U.S. consumers in September just as Apple was rolling out its iPhone 5, to find out such things as:
- What demographic variables, such as age, gender, income, educational level and marital status, differentiate the groups?
- What service providers do Apple and Android consumers use?
- How do they rate their service providers and why?
What both sides looked for from their smartphone experience and their providers was markedly different.
Apple users were much more likely to judge their phones based on the quality of the audio and data network and how fast the network operated. Android customers were more focused on "business" aspects, including the quality of customer service, cost of service and "device selection." Also:
- Apple users are more likely to be female and married.
- Apple users have higher incomes and are more highly educated. iGR says more Apple consumers have incomes above $50,000 and a college degree.
- Apple users display more brand loyalty, with more Android users saying they were "undecided" about which smartphone they might buy next.
- Android users were also more likely to buy a smartphone in the near future.
"Beyond some basic differences, such as service providers and mobile phone brands, other differences became apparent when we analyzed these groups' responses to our survey," says Iain Gillott, president and founder of iGR. "These groups not only have distinct demographic profiles, they also display different trends in their recent and planned purchases, the other computing devices that they use, their use of cellular data services, their desired improvements to their cellular data service and their use of Wi-Fi on their smartphone."

As i recall ( don't have the unit here ) i removed the servo and removed the three wires from the circuit board in the servo and solder the red and black directly to the motor,and removed the
third wire,then connected the two wires to the Tritronics receiver.I may have added a small spring to return the servo arm..Hope this helps.

IF the Rangers sign Fielder, doesn't that make Young expendable again? Guy can play all 4 IF positions, hits RH, and hit .338 last year (OPS = 124). He makes 16 Mil for the next two years. If the Rangers eat 6Mil per year of that salary wouldn't the Tribe be a great fit?
Kinsler, Beltre, Fielder and Andrews would block him... just saying.
I'd probably take a nice package of guys to get him, but it would seem he'd be available.

Exclusive: Best Buy Employees Wanted to Partner With Amazon
Enough lamenting the hiring of Hubert Joly.
Best Buy's Board of Directors will not take my advice and fire him, but the company should hear me out and consider a partnership with Amazon.com (AMZN) .
Interestingly, according to a former senior director at Best Buy, Chad Bell, this isn't the first time the idea has come up. (I knew that, by the way!)
I shared the above-referenced article to my LinkedIn account where Bell made the comment below.
For the record, I contacted Bell via email to make sure he was all right with me printing his comment. I was just being thorough because, after all, he made the comment very publicly on one of my social media profiles.
I have talked to Bell in the past when he worked at Best Buy about interesting electric vehicle-related initiatives that, as far as I know, also went nowhere.
A few other interesting things here.
First, the obvious. Bell publicly noting that his team brought the idea of an Amazon partnership to management who not only reacted with a blank stare, but, allegedly, laid down an "edict" that barred "partnering with Amazon no exceptions." Bell's words, not mine.
Second, Jennie Weber, who "liked" that LinkedIn post also used to work for Best Buy. Her LinkedIn profile states that she was a Geek Squad Marketing Manager for nearly three years, a Senior Marketing Manager for two and a Marketing Director for one. Weber left the company earlier this year.
I did not get a hold of Weber so I can only assume a "like" means she thinks an Amazon partnership isn't a bad idea.
Third, I have talked, over the months, to several current and past Best Buy employees who feel the same way.
It doesn't take a sleuth to figure out that many people who used to be or are currently inside the building do not like the way things are going. They see the potential to innovate. They see pieces in place to trigger meaningful progress, but they feel constrained by a board, and now a CEO, that doesn't understand the level of change necessary to incite drastic transformation.
Worse yet, it's probably more than a comprehension problem. This board and CEO simply do not have the capacity -- and I am talking from a big picture, how they view the world perspective -- to act big and bold enough.
I would guess the people who, according to Bell, put down the no partnership with Amazon hammer did so for at least one of two reasons: They can't swallow their pride after a good old-fashioned butt whipping or they think Amazon would laugh at them for even uttering the notion of partnership.

Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, as a member of Parliament, I rise with pride today and with solemnity on the occasion of marking a vigil that is taking place outside these doors. Canadian Tibetans are in vigil in solidarity with so many Tibetans who are experiencing oppression due to the Chinese government policies toward Tibet.
The desperation of these people has now led to self-immolation acts, an act of desperation for anyone who understands Buddhist religion and culture. This is the sign that things have become a crisis for those in Tibet. In the words of his holiness, the Dalai Lama, "We must find a peaceful way forward".
The European parliament, just days ago, on October 27, passed a resolution calling on China to act. I would urge all hon. members to join with the European Union and help protect religious rights in Tibet.
Random Act of Kindness Day
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Phil McColeman Brant, ON
Mr. Speaker, eight years ago, Freedom House, a church and ministry centre in Brantford, began a mission called "The Kindness Project" to see if a city could be transformed by good into good by using simple but strategic acts of kindness.
In these eight years, among other things, roughly 20,000 hamburgers have been given away; a free winter carnival, Frosty Fest, is hosted; a school curriculum is in the works; affordable housing has been provided for those in need; and a local superhero, Captain Kindness, has emerged and taken control of the city. This Friday, November 4, will be the second annual Random Act of Kindness Day in Brantford.
The Kindness Project seeks to uncover the untapped level of synergy in the community as a collective commitment to serving each other. It is people helping people with what we all have in our hands to give.
We hope, together, to make Brantford known as the kindest city in Canada.

Wayne Marston Hamilton East—Stoney Creek, ON
Mr. Speaker, today, Tibetans and supporters from around the world are gathering to take part in a global day of action. From Zurich, to San Diego, to Vancouver, to right outside our doors, people are coming together to seek justice for the people of Tibet.
Ten young Tibetans have set themselves on fire in eastern Tibet since March 2011, in fact, eight since September. These unprecedented and truly desperate acts are a cry to the outside world for help. China has intensified its violent crackdown in Ngaba and across Tibet. Tibetan monasteries continue to be sacked and monks continue to be sentenced without fair trial.
It is time for the government to act. It is time for the Government of Canada to take a lead in coordinating an international response to condemn the Chinese government's repressive measures against the Tibetans. Canada should also work to ensure that the United Nations immediately sends a fact-finding team to Ngaba to assess the situation.
We cannot afford to waste another day.
Citizenship and Immigration
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
James Bezan Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, Iran continues to support terrorism, defiantly pursues nuclear weapons, calls for the end of the state of Israel and systematically tramples the rights of innocent Iranians.
The former head of Iran's state owned bank, Mahmoud Reza Khavari, is reported to be living in Toronto. According to media, he was able to obtain Canadian citizenship in 2005. A second man connected to Iran's state owned bank has also reportedly taken refuge in Canada. Mehregan Amirkhosravi is in Montreal.
Their presence in Canada is a cause for concern because Canada, our allies and the United Nations have all stated that Bank Melli is tied to funding Iran's nuclear program, as well as terrorist groups throughout the Middle East. Bank Melli has funneled money to Hamas, Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
These men must not be allowed to brazenly defy and abuse our generous immigration system and action must be taken.
I implore the government to pursue all legal grounds to revoke Khavari's reported citizenship and investigate their involvement in crimes against humanity, funding nuclear weapons, supporting terrorism and committing fraud.

2:05 p.m.
Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, 10 young Tibetans have set themselves ablaze, a set of unprecedented and desperate actions, to protest the Chinese repression of Tibetan rights and assaults on the monks and nuns of Tibetan monasteries.
Accordingly, we call on the Chinese authorities to release those imprisoned simply because they exercised their right to freedom of religion and expression, to cease and desist from their assaults on the Tibetan people, and to enter into dialogue with the Tibetan leadership.
We call on the Canadian government, in concert with world leaders, on this global day of action, to stand in solidarity with the Tibetan people, to condemn the repression by Chinese authorities and to nurture dialogue with the Tibetan leadership with a view to protecting the human security of the Tibetan people.
Operation Hero

2:05 p.m.
Patrick Brown Barrie, ON
Mr. Speaker, a group of local Barrie business and community leaders launched Operation Hero last year. Operation Hero is a scholarship campaign to help fund students of military families to attend Georgian College.
Fundraising commenced in April 2010, with a goal of reaching $1 million. Those who have already generously donated $1,000 or more have been receiving framed commemorative flags that are now scattered across the riding in homes, schools, offices and businesses.
On October 23, CFB Borden held a 5k, 10k and half marathon in support of this great cause. I was very proud to participate with 1,000 other runners. I am happy to report that donations to Operation Hero have now surpassed an astonishing $700,000.
Operation Hero's scholarships are helping so many young people better realize their full potential through post-secondary education.
I would like to send special thanks to the key organizers: honorary colonel for CFB Borden, Jamie Massie; base commander, Colonel Louis Meloche; and Georgian College president, Brian Tamblyn.
For more information, I ask everyone to visit operationhero.ca.

Denise Savoie Victoria, BC
Mr. Speaker, today, I congratulate the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness and the many volunteers from my riding who made Homelessness Action Week a resounding success.
Victorians came together to share information, provide services to our homeless population and distribute more than 600 survival packs of hats and gloves to the homeless.
I participated in Project Connect and listened to stories from Victorians experiencing homelessness and poverty. Many are unemployed because of the recession or living in poverty because they have disabilities. An increasing number of Victoria seniors are resorting to food banks.
Homelessness is a particularly disturbing aspect of poverty because it could so easily be eliminated. I urge the House to come together to make homelessness a thing of the past. We can, if we want to, make Canada a better place for all.

November 2nd, 2011 / 2:10 p.m.
Gord Brown Leeds—Grenville, ON
Mr. Speaker, today, Tibetans and supporters have gathered outside this very building in a desperate cry to stop the crackdown of religious freedom in their region.
Canada has expressed its serious concerns about the human rights situation in China, including continuing restrictions on the freedoms of expression, association, religion and belief of ethnic Tibetans. We remain concerned about the arbitrary detention and treatment of political prisoners in Tibet and have raised the issue of Tibetans and other religious minorities in China in bilateral meetings and on the international stage, including at the United Nations General Assembly.
Our government takes the issue of religious freedom in China and around the world very seriously. The freedoms of religious belief and practice are at the heart of our principled foreign policy.
We do not hesitate to raise such issues as part of mutually respectful, mature dialogue between our two countries and encourage substantive dialogue between Chinese leaders and religious minorities.
Wilfrid Laurier University

Peter Braid Kitchener—Waterloo, ON
Mr. Speaker, last weekend, Wilfrid Laurier University in my riding celebrated its 100th anniversary.
For the last century, WLU has provided education excellence and developed and inspired the leaders who have shaped our country and made a positive difference in the world.
From its official opening in 1911 as the Evangelical Lutheran Seminary of Canada to the present day, Wilfrid Laurier has grown, evolved and continues to reach new heights. Today, it is one of Canada's top universities, with over 15,000 students leading undergraduate and graduate programs and expanding international initiatives.
This anniversary commemorates the historic achievements of this university and inspires a new vision of progress and optimism for the future.
I ask members to join me in congratulating Wilfrid Laurier University on this significant milestone and wishing it all the best in the coming century.

Jasbir Sandhu Surrey North, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is with great sorrow that I extend my sympathies on the 27th anniversary of the tragic events of 1984 that targeted Sikh men, women and children.
The New Democratic Party of Canada stands in solidarity with the Sikh community, demands justice for the survivors and an explanation for why and how this community was targeted by organized mobs.
The victims and survivors of 1984 cannot sit idly by waiting for the government to recognize their plight and frustration.
Rehabilitation support for the broken families, especially the trauma the widows and children experienced, must be prioritized. The negligence of the police must be examined. The truth and those guilty must be brought to justice. These are not demands. These are the obligations of a democratic government to its citizens.
Remembrance is the tie that binds us to our past as it guides us for the challenges of the future.
Lest we forget.
Remembrance Day
Statements by Members

Dean Allison Niagara West—Glanbrook, ON
Mr. Speaker, from Vimy Ridge to Juno Beach, Kap Yong to Kandahar, Canada has always punched above its weight. At home and abroad, our men and women in uniform have always represented and defended Canadian values.
Brave soldiers, like one of my constituents, Mr. Edward Carter-Edwards, who is on the Hill today, was a prisoner of war in the Second World War.
The courage, honour and valour shown by the Canadian military throughout our country's history is overwhelming. Canada has consistently stood by its friends in their time of need and our military personnel have proudly led the way. In doing so, many have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
I encourage all my colleagues to take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by these heroes.
In the words of Laurence Binyon from his famous poem, "For the Fallen":
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Louise Gratton

Pierre Jacob Brome—Missisquoi, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to highlight the exceptional work of a biologist who works for an organization in my riding called Appalachian Corridor, whose mission is to protect natural areas. Louise Gratton was the recipient of the Pierre Dansereau award, presented on Thursday by the Association des biologistes du Québec. This award, which was created in 2001, is handed out every year by this organization in recognition of the exceptional contribution of a biologist through research, teaching or communication on biological diversity.
Over the years, Ms. Gratton has acquired a significant amount of expertise in protecting and conserving natural areas, botany and environmental management. In addition, her commitment as volunteer has been outstanding. The Pierre Dansereau award just is one of many awards that she has received. I congratulate this scientist for working to protect Quebec's natural heritage.

Greg Rickford Kenora, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I want to recognize a special event that will be taking place at the National Arts Centre.
The Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, or ITK, will be hosting a gala event on November 3 to celebrate its efforts over the past four decades to advance Inuit issues as a national representative organization.
To help commemorate this important milestone, the National Film Board, in collaboration with Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, is launching a one of a kind collection of Inuit films.
This collection will give Inuit a lasting record of their vibrant culture and provide all Canadians the opportunity to appreciate how Inuit continue to shape and enrich our country.
ITK is a valued partner of the Government of Canada in our efforts to build a prosperous north and improve the well-being of aboriginal peoples.
I encourage all members of the House to attend the gala on November 3.
Take Our Kids to Work

Rodger Cuzner Cape Breton—Canso, NS
Mr. Speaker, every year on the first Wednesday of November, thousands of grade 9 students participate in the Take Our Kids to Work program. Now in its 17th year, this program sees over 200,000 students take part in a day-long job-shadowing experience at approximately 75,000 businesses and organizations in Canada.
As part of this year's event, the Learning Partnership, with the support of the Scotiabank Group, held the Ultimate Dream Job contest. The national online photo contest ran six weeks and was chosen by public voting.
I am pleased to announce that Jacob Halloran, a grade 9 student from Guysborough in my riding, has been selected this year's winner.
Jacob will meet today with His Excellency the Right Hon. David Johnston and our very own distinguished Speaker of the House.
More than 40,000 people nationally and internationally participated in this year's contest. Jacob's dream is to become a musician. Jacob's sincerity, creativity, determination and inspiration obviously made an impression.
Take Our Kids to Work is the Learning Partnership's signature program. It connects young people with work. The goal is to give as many young Canadians as possible the opportunity to explore career options and interests.
I would like to commend the Learning Partnership and Scotiabank Group for their continued support--

Being out of the loop, I was wondering if there has been any ring activity in Nanaimo.
Yes, My dad was close with the Nepper's, and his name was Jim McFadden, he passed away from Cancer in 2002, he worked hard welding to raise money for the family and put us through lots of sports growing up, one of them he showed us personally was how to box properly, keep our chin down, jab with the left a couple times and then with the right, our stance and everything.. He did not tell us where he learned as we were younger then and never thought to ask him, but I know that after I read this thread it made me wonder if he is the McFadden u r mentioning here.. if so, I really would be just happy to know this, as I can no longer ask my dad, he is resting peacefully on Saltspring Island.. he would have been 17 years old in 1965, and he told us some good stories about growing up with the Nepper's, well please let me know, I really would appreciate it. Thank you.
Those were the days and I am pleased to say that Jim and his brother Larry are part of the Newcastle Boxing Club alumni.
We all had our small parts to play in this small slice of Nanaimo's sporting history.
Thanks to sites like this forum, we are able to record
some of the events, and some of the members.
From time to time it is nice to hear from former members of the Newcastle and Nanaimo Boxing Clubs, but to hear from a child of a member is such a thrill.
I saw someone mention Neppers. Our family lived behind Neppers and I remember the old man with his boxing ring set up in the back yard. Last summer I had a good visit with Joe Nepper. He's looking great and seems to be very fit.
On the sunny side of the Strait:cool:
Great Thread! I love all Combat Sports, and when it comes to punching, no one punches better than a boxer.
I am personally a fan of Mixed Martial Arts, and have trained with the guys at Nanaimo MMA (they use the Gymnastics Facility). They are a good group of guys very active in MMA.
That said, I would love the opportunity to train with some old school boxers in Nanaimo if there is anywhere to do that. ?
Also, this is my website dedicated to Combat Sports Conditioning:
I work as a Nationally Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, specializing in Combat Sports.
most influence regarding stance & jabs was Harry Pollitt. Harry also
emphasized the importance of footwork.
From my position, I worked on single, double and triple jabs. Also, with the help of others, it was possible to learn all of the defensive moves against the jab e.g. block, slip etc. As time goes by one adds more techniques & moves.
In fact, it is a never ending process of learning from others and and teaching
those that follow.

It has been some time since talking about boxing. There are so many interesting stories about the early days with George Nepper's
old Newcastle Boxing Club, and those early days with the Nanaimo Boxing.
One of my most interesting events in boxing was visiting and meeting Muhammed Ali while he was residing in the Georgia Hotel in Vancouver
for his bout with Canada's own George Chuvalo in 1972. During this same time period, a few of us (including two from Nanaimo) had the opportunity
to show former top welterweight contender Manuel Gonzalez from Houston, Texas around Vancouver. A small part of that experience appeared in the local Nanaimo newspaper in '72.
My last real involvement with boxing took place about 1991-1992,
when I briefly served as an interim boxing chairman for Victoria's
preparation for hosting the Commonwealth Games.

Of interest, some information concerning a May 2008 Nanaimo
boxing card was listed on the Saddo Boxing website

Also, on the site is a forum to discuss boxing.

text: Cetartiodactyla is a group comprised of two orders of mammals that are superficially quite different and that, until recently, were recognized as two separate monophyletic clades. These orders are Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates, including animals such as cows (Bovidae), camels (Camelidae), and deer (Cervidae), and Cetacea, a group of mammals that are highly specialized for an aquatic lifestyle, including whales, dolphins (Delphinidae), and porpoises (Phocoenidae). Recent molecular evidence suggests that Cetacea evolved from artiodactyl ancestors. Making Artiodactyla non-monophyletic unless Cetacea is included. Experts suggest the monophyletic clade representing artiodactyls and cetaceans be called Cetartiodactyla.

Data Types, Domains, and Inheritance in CUBRID RDBMS
posted 5 years ago in CUBRID Life category by Park Kieun
In the previous article I have explained how data is stored in CUBRID RDBMS. I have described the concept of objects, classes, inheritance, and OID in CUBRID. In this article I will talk about the data types available in CUBRID and how they are stored in the database. Since CUBRID is an object-relational DBMS, it allows you to define your own custom data type, and I will show you in this article how to that.
A relational database system is designed to manage limited number of data types such as integer, floating point value number, string, boolean, date, time, and currency. In other words, it is not designed to manage the data types which users have custom created. On the other hand, one of the core points of the object-oriented data model is that the functions to create custom and new data types are supported in a consistent way. Moreover, the object-oriented data model supports encapsulation of data and the programs that access the data, and the framework for user-defined data types, as well as the structure, relations, and constraints of data expressed on the relational model. With encapsulation and inheritance (reuse), it essentially relieves the difficulty of designing a complex software system.
In CUBRID, the attributes (columns) defined in classes (tables) have their names and domains. The name is used as an identifier of a column and the domain specifies the type of data that the column can have. The data type defines the format to save the data to the database. In addition to the following default data types that can be used as domains, other classes (tables) in a database can also be specified as a domain. If you want to use a class (table) as a domain, instead of the default data type, use the class name (table name) as the name of the data type. But there is one more unique way to use the class as a domain: to use any class as a domain of the column, specify the domain to
OBJECT type.
Default Data Types
- Numeric data types
- Date/Time data types
- Bit string data types
- String data types
CHAR VARYING, or
- BLOB/CLOB data types
- Collection data types
LIST, or
Each data type in a database has its value, which denotes the allowed size a user can enter for this data type, as well as a specific format this data type can have.
- The
INTEGERdata type, for instance, is a 32-bit integer, i.e. 4 bytes, which is the value of this
INTEGERdata type.
- The
STRINGdata type is a string with a variable length, i.e., bytes with a specific length.
In other words, a data type is a method to interpret the number of bytes the data of the column occupies in a record. When the data type of a column is
INTEGER, the value of the column is 4 bytes and the 4 bytes are interpreted as an integer value. When the data type of a column is
STRING, it is a string with a variable length. The length of the string is saved at the beginning of the string which is followed by the string itself. If the length of a string is 255 or less, which can be saved in 1 byte, the first byte indicates the length of this string and the following bytes are the string data. If the length of a string is longer than 255, 0xFF is saved in the first byte while the actual length is saved in the integer form in the next 4 bytes. In this matter, a data type or a domain stands for the format of saving various types of values in the database.
Class Domains (or tables as data types)
You now know how default data types are stored in CUBRID. But which storage format will be used for the column that has classes (tables) as domains (data types)? Will the column save the structure of a class specified as a domain as it is?
For example, as illustrated in the following Figure 1, if the
person class is specified as a domain of the
emp attribute of the
employee class, you may think that the storage type of the
emp column would be the sum of
ssn, and
marital_status columns. However, it is not in CUBRID. From the storage format side, the
emp column has OID (Object Identifier) only. This is the difference between CUBRID and Oracle or SQL3 (SQL:1999) standard. If a database has the object-oriented concept, there are two ways:
- Oracle defines a new complex data type using simple data types and specifies it as the data type of a column.
- CUBRID refers to other classes.
Figure 1: Example of Using a Class (Table) as a Domain (Data Type).
So, as mentioned earlier, each data type has a value (number of bytes) as well as a specific format. In a database, a unique value is defined regardless of the data type. It is
NULL. This value has neither value nor a data type. For example, the 'PARK.K.E' string, one of the values of the
name column in the
person table in the above figure, belongs to the domain whose data type is
VARCHAR(30). The domain with the
VARCHAR(30) data type starts from an empty string ' ' of which length is 1 to 'ÿÿ…ÿ' filled with ÿ, the last character of ISO 8859-1 Latin 8-bit character set of which length is 30. However,
NULL can be the value of a type such as
STRING and
BLOB. In other words, all domains of a database include
NULL value. The
INTEGER type has an integer value which can be expressed by using 4 bytes +
NULL value as its domain.
Let's get back to the class domain. CUBRID allows specifying other classes (tables) as domains (data types). However, the value which is actually saved is an OID value which indicates the physical address of an instance object of the class which is specified as a domain.
Here you may think that all class domains have an identical structure and there is no distinction among them, but it is not true. The user-defined schema information saves the information about which class was specified as a domain. Whenever a user tries to set a value to a column, the data type is checked. For the class domain, it is checked whether the object of the class specified in the schema is referred to or not. In CUBRID, the type was defined and built into the system in advance and the domain is specified by a user at the database design phase. Therefore, the domain is declared and defined for the default data types in advance. In the source code, the data structure that shows the domain information is the
TP_DOMAIN structure defined in the object/object_domain.h file. In this object/object_domain.h file, the domain data structure for a default data type, such as
tp_Integer_domain, is already defined. The default data type such as
INTEGER and
STRING has its pre-defined global variable in the
TP_DOMAIN type. When a user specifies a class as a domain, the default data type dynamically creates and saves the data structure of the
TP_DOMAIN structure. This is how class domains are stored and referred in CUBRID RDBMS. I will discuss more about
TP_DOMAIN data structure in one of the coming articles.
This concludes the talk about Data Types, Domains, Classes and Attributes in CUBRID. You now know that in CUBRID you can easily create custom data types which represent one of the existing tables which is a really great and convenient feature. This allows you to inherit certain attributes of base tables and extend them.
In the next article I will explain about different modes of execution in CUBRID such as client-server and standalone modes. The client-server architecture of CUBRID enhances the processing speed and allows to distribute database functions to multiple hosts as several clients cache the database object saved in the server. I will explain more about the advantages of this client-server concept in the next article.

Moving — A fresh start
My 20-something daughter just moved to a new apartment in a different state. And, wonder of wonders, her new employer paid for a company to move her.
This concept of using a moving company is foreign to my family. We have been more of the system that borrows a horse trailer, hooks up the homemade trailer, and makes multiple trips with a very full car when it's time to move.
For several years when I was in my 20s I could actually get all of my worldly possessions in my car-clothes, a stereo system, my clock radio, posters, a few books. I pieced together enough furniture to get by once I was in a new place, buying used, selling it to someone when it was time to move again.
Life was pretty easy, as I see it now from the perspective of a house full of furniture and appliances and all the other flotsam and jetsam that go with decades of accumulating comforts. The last time I moved, it took several trailers full and multiple trips to get it all done. It was just a short distance, yet it takes the same effort before and after the actual move as a cross-country venture.
Relocating is a foreign concept when you grow up on a farm, at least from my era. When one lived on a working farm surrounded by the land that made your living, you couldn't exactly pick up your ground and relocate it. Now in our society we are much more mobile, even here in the heartland, so moving is much more the norm.
Maybe one of the more symbolic moves is when you take your children off to a college campus for the first time. Remember that? It is a day that's both triumphant and traumatic, depending on whether you're in the empty car driving home or staying on campus.
I recommend moving with really young children, if you can. I did that once with a four-month-old and one who was 23 months old. So I got to take care of them, including boarding them at a new neighbor's house, instead of trucking and hauling all day like everyone else did. Then the neighbor, my other mother, cooked a nice roast beef supper for all of us. This was in mid-January, not a time I recommend to move, of course. It was frigid and there was snow on the ground.
Twice when we moved we couldn't do a direct switch from house to house but had to store everything in between. So essentially we moved twice before we were settled in. Not fun.
Some folks believe that there isn't one aspect of moving that's fun. But when's another time when you get a chance to purge all your possessions, start fresh, and make a new home?

Will wrong on early childhood education
To the editor:
The intellectually pretentious and snide George Will makes false assertions about socially beneficial government programs in his latest column. He is flat wrong in claiming that the benefits of early childhood education are "implausible and utterly unsubstantiated."
Early childhood programs like Head Start have been widely studied and found to be successful. Economic research concerning such social investments shows they yield benefits that far exceed their costs and contribute importantly to the welfare of children, especially among the poor. Children in such programs improve their ability to learn, long-term crime rates are reduced, and the child's need of special education services is markedly lessened.
Perhaps more importantly, those enrolled in early childhood programs generally earn more as adults, pay more in tax revenue and contribute to society by being more economically productive citizens.
Nobel laureate economist James Heckman is but one of many prominent economists who support and favor significant government funding of preschool learning programs.
In his book "The Rhetoric of Reaction," economist-turned-philosopher Albert O. Hirschman cited traditional conservative arguments commonly used to attack social reforms. Among them was the criticism that reform allegedly hurts the very people it hopes to help and the such reforms incur costs only to end in failure.
On both counts, the success of early childhood education prove those conservative arguments to be fallacious.
Free-market cheerleader George Will should get in step with the times, check his own factoids and refrain from spreading misinformation about a valuable government effort to lessen the inequities in American society.

Freak Mountain Ramblers
7 p.m.
All ages welcome
Freak Mountain Ramblers
Portland's own Freak Mountain Ramblers bring a rollicking brand of rock 'n' roll, bluegrass, alternative country and country-blues to every show they play.
With a lineup including three members of the inimitable and notorious Holy Modal Rounders / Clamtones amalgamation of the '70s and '80s, Freak Mountain Ramblers has its roots in the underbelly of the alternative music scene that existed at that time, both in Portland and across the country. The Freaks have accumulated a loyal following in the Portland area by dependably creating beauty and bedlam at their live shows, and by producing CDs that successfully translate that energy and excitement to disc. Four lead singer/songwriters, each with a distinct character and approach to life and music, provide a dynamic show that packs the rooms with some of the most interesting music fans around.
The Freak Mountain Ramblers are veteran performers packing decades of experience. FMR members have been core musicians of the Holy Modal Rounders, Golden Delicious, the Clamtones, Richard Cranium and the Phoreheads, Prairie Dogs, Swingline Cubs, The Trail Band, and The Fly By Night Jass Band.
"... Freak Mountain Ramblers aren't your typical country western band. Not only have they chucked the slick yippie-ki-yay good looks of contemporary C&W singers for the haggard couture of mountain men, their lyrics have bizarrely warped the genre's storytelling. One song starts as a fable about two fighting neighbors and picks up speed until they have doused each other with gasoline. Strangely addictive and disturbingly fun, the song is sung in sweet tones and set to a galloping swing." - Portland Mercury

- The name "viperfish" is also sometimes applied to the lesser weever.
A viperfish is a saltwater fish in the genus Chauliodus, with long, needle-like teeth and hinged lower jaws. They grow to lengths of 30 to 60 cm (12 - 24 inches). Viperfish stay near lower depths (250–5,000 feet) in the daytime and shallow at night. Viperfish mainly stay in tropical and temperate waters. It is one of the fiercest predators in the very deep part of the sea and is believed to attack its prey by luring the victim close to itself with a light producing organ. This organ is called a photophore and is located on the end of its dorsal spine. It flashes this natural light on and off while at the same time moving the dorsal spine around like a fishing rod and hanging completely still in the water, and also uses the voluntary natural light producing organ to communicate to its potential mates and rivals. Viperfish vary in color between green, silver and black. It uses its fang-like teeth to immobilize its prey, and would not be able to close its mouth because of their length if it were not able to curve them behind its head. The first vertebra behind the head of the viperfish is known to absorb the shock of its attacks, which are mainly targeted against dragonfish and other small creatures. They are able to undergo long periods with scarcely no food.
Viperfish are believed to live up to 30 years to 40 years but in captivity rarely live more than a few hours. Some species of dolphins and sharks are known to prey upon viperfish. Scientists believe that a viperfish can swim at a speed of two body lengths per second but that is not yet the official speed.
There are 27 species:
- Chauliodus barbatus (Lowe, 1843).
- Dana viperfish, Chauliodus danae Regan & Trewavas, 1929.
- Chauliodus dentatus Garman, 1899.
- Pacific viperfish, Chauliodus macouni Bean, 1890.
- Chauliodus minimus Parin & Novikova, 1974.
- Chauliodus pammelas Alcock, 1892.
- Chauliodus schmidti (Regan & Trewavas, 1929).
- Sloane's viperfish, Chauliodus sloani Bloch & Schneider, 1801.
- Chauliodus vasnetzovi Novikova, 1972.[2]

"It's one thing to do worldly deeds. It's quite another to have a deep and abiding affection for the world itself... That makes us an enemy of God, not a friend."
Those penetrating words by John MacArthur expose perhaps the most seductive, harmful misconception about God that has ever existed: The notion that God is everyone's friend. Many unbelievers - even sincere churchgoers - view God as a gentle, grandfatherly companion and never realize they're actually waging war against Almighty God, and well on their way to a crushing defeat.
In From Conflict to Friendship: Living Near to God, John MacArthur sounds the alarm for those who have the outward trappings of Christianity yet lack the inward reality of true faith. Learn the biblical test for knowing whether you're a friend of God, and discover the dangers of being a friend of the world in this highly practical series. You'll also find ways you can help people in the church who are desperately trying to hold onto God and the world at the same time.

quote RevelationAny thoughts?Funny how the series' main character is the most evil of them all.
Kazuya was always, and still is, more evil than Heihachi.
Yeah, we all know how Heihachi dropped Kazuya off a cliff when Kazuya was 5, and how Heihachi sent his adopted son, Lee Chaolan, to the US to study business, instead of Kazuya. But Heihachi's motives weren't evil.
Heihachi just wanted Kazuya to grow up to be strong and competitive enough to lead the Mishima Zaibatsu.
From what I know of, Kazuya was always stubborn even as a kid. I can really relate to Heihachi if that's the case. Can't blame him for being too rough on young Kazuya.
Wan't an example of how evil Kazuya is? Well, here's one... The moment he took control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, he began to corrupt it in every imaginable way just so he could be more powerful.

Anyway, I don't see much of a point in debating this issue. It's a toss-up. It's quite easy to see that neither father not son are nice guys, but it's quite difficult to decide who's really the most evil. They're both bad. End.

NYPA Thanks Nine Emergency Service Units in Area of its Blenheim-Gilboa Project
June 17, 2003
NORTH BLENHEIM—New York Power Authority (NYPA) President Eugene W. Zeltmann presented checks totaling $20,000 Tuesday to volunteer fire departments and rescue squads that respond to emergencies at its Blenheim-Gilboa Pumped Storage Project and in the nearby communities.
"There's no overstating the importance of the critical services you provide. And—as a long-time member of the Schoharie County community—the Power Authority is delighted to show its appreciation," said Zeltmann in remarks at the Blenheim-Gilboa Visitors Center here.
The checks went to the Blenheim Hose Company, Conesville Fire Department, Conesville Rescue Squad, Grand Gorge Fire Department, Grand Gorge Rescue Squad, Jefferson Fire Department, Jefferson Rescue Squad, Middleburgh Fire Department, and the Middleburgh Emergency Volunteer Ambulance Corps (MEVAC).
Zeltmann, who serves as NYPA's chief executive officer, noted that MEVAC responded to an emergency at Blenheim-Gilboa last October, involving a contract employee who went into cardiac arrest after experiencing chest pains and shortness of breath. Members of B-G's first response team re-established a pulse with one of six defibrillators at the project, before MEVAC arrived to take the worker to Bassett Hospital.
In April, the American Public Power Association presented NYPA with its highest award for safety in the workplace. It marked the seventh consecutive year that the Power Authority, the nation's largest state-owned utility, has won the top safety award in its class of utilities.
The Blenheim-Gilboa Project produces more than one million kilowatts of electricity in peak demand periods by drawing water from the Schoharie Creek and recycling it between two reservoirs. The project marks its 30th anniversary this year.

Make Good Decisions!
The mister and I went to the movies some years ago and saw a carload full of tweens getting out of a mini van. Their mom shouted after them, "Have fun! And make good decisions!" I thought it was adorable.
I rather like this little guy, especially his dainty Peter Pan collar and precious green bow-tie. He's a bit Mother Goosey and a bit kawaii too. I hope you like him!
Have a happy week, and make good decisions!

Expiration Date:?Oct 2019Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.36 lbsShipping WeightThe Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Herbal Power
Gets the immune system fired up.
Reason to Love
Echinacea—or purple coneflower—was used by a number of Native American tribes for hundreds of years before it was introduced into Western herbal traditions in the late 1800s. Today, is one of the most studied herbs. We love how this pleasant-tasting herbal blend supports a healthy immune system response.
Mildly minty, with a twist of citrus. You may notice echinacea's characteristic tongue-tingling effect, a sign of very high quality.
Let the tip of your tongue tell all…
One of the echinacea's distinguishing characteristics is the presence of alkylamides, which are partly responsible for its capacity to stimulate the immune system. You'll know that you've discovered truly high quality and effective Echinacea when you feel a light tingling on your tongue after drinking the tea.
Don't worry-the tingling will subside quickly, but echinacea's effects won't. With two species of echinacea and echinacea extract, for an extra punch, you'll be feeling good as new in no time.
We've Got the Right Stuff
We raise the bar. The quality standard of the herbs we use is hard to pronounce, difficult to meet, and it's what makes us different, better. We're not ashamed to say it. Pharmacopoeial: it's the only quality standard our herbalists can rely on when blending teas for your health and wellness.
Suggested Use
To Enjoy
Pour 8 oz freshly boiled water over 1 tea bag.
Cover cup & steep for 10-15 minutes.
Squeeze tea bag to ensure maximum goodness in your cup.
Enjoy 5-6 cups throughout the day when needed.
Good with honey!

Really happy with the product. Flu symptoms seem to go away faster with this tea.
Good for sore throat, just a matter of taste.
Posted by 5684527990988451021 on Jul 31, 2016
I guess I will prefer the Echinacea Cut Throat Tea. Don't really like the taste of it, but it is definitely as effective as soothing a sore throat.
good tasting tea

Taste is good. My husband doesn't usually like herb teas but likes this. It seems it works. We drink when we feel catching cold. And organic is safe.

Video game consoles have become rather popular in well-developed countries, but large emerging markets like China, India, Latin America and some others have still remained untapped with video game consoles. Moreover, due to widespread software piracy in those regions, large video game platform providers are hardly interested in promoting their products there. Zeebo, a new creator of video game system, wants to change that with own-brand game machine.
"The Zeebo console will deliver a truly engaging and entertaining gaming experience to a potential billion new consumers around the world, many of whom have never experienced gaming in the home," said John F. Rizzo, chief executive officer of Zeebo.
The Zeebo video game console is powered by Qualcomm MSM core-logic set, ARM11/QDSP-5 processor running at 528MHz and Qualcomm Adreno 130 graphics core and mobile display processor (MDP). The system features 1GB NAND flash memory, 128MB of DDR SDRAM, SD card slot, USB ports, quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA controllers. The console will output video games with 640x480 resolution. Zeebo is controlled by Tectoy and Qualcomm.
Zeebo announced today that its new wireless videogame console will begin shipping in Brazil through targeted retail distribution next month. Zeebo is the first affordable 3D game console designed specifically for emerging global markets. The console features secure 3G wireless game delivery and addresses the special requirements of these regions, where the current generation videogame consoles and content is expensive for the middle class, content is not culturally or locally relevant, and software piracy makes these markets unattractive for content providers. The Zeebo system ships with four pre-embedded games and provides users the ability to download a fifth title for free. It carries a suggested retail price of $199 in Brazil, where video game systems like PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 cost around $1000 and are usually modified to run pirated video game titles.
In other international markets, Zeebo is expected to retail for less than $179 this year and well below $149 in volume next year.
"The system provides an intuitive, quick, and easy-to-use home shopping user experience featuring popular, culturally optimized content from leading game publishers and developers around the world. It also delivers high value and warranty protection compared to gray-market products with no need for a separate wireless access plan," Mr. Rizzo claimed.
Video games for Zeebo will cost around $12 per title in Brazil, which is just $2 more expensive compared to a pirated game. Large publishers Activision Blizzard and Electronics Arts have already confirmed intention to offer games for Zeebo. Other developers and publishers, such as Capcom, Com2uS, Digital Chocolate, EA Mobile, Gameloft, Glu, Id Software, Machineworks Northwest LLC, Namco Networks and THQ, are porting a wide array of console, PC, dedicated handheld and high-end mobile titles to the Zeebo platform, according to the company.
While Zeebo seems to be a promising technology, it remains to be seen whether the company will actually become successful just because pricing of the hardware and software is lower. Traditional makers of video game systems, such as Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, can reconsider their pricing policies for emerging markets, which will undermine Zeebo's path to success.

Aim To describe the incidence of retinocytomas, their variability at presentation and their growth patterns both before and after regression.
Methods Medical notes of the 525 patients of the Jules-Gonin Eye Hospital Retinoblastoma Clinic between 1964 and 2008 were reviewed and the charts of 36 patients with retinocytomas and/or phthisis bulbi were selected.
Results The proportion of patients with retinocytomas and/or phthisis bulbi was 3.2%. The mean age at diagnosis was 28.7±17 years. Five tumours presented a cystic pattern (5.8%). Evidence of aggressive exophytic disease prior to spontaneous regression was documented in two eyes, and of invasive endophytic disease (regressed vitreous seeding or internal limiting membrane disruption) in three eyes. Twenty patients were followed with a mean follow-up of 44±60 months. Tumour growth was observed in 16% cases, benign cystic enlargement in 4% and malignant transformation in 12%.
Conclusion This large study of retinocytomas substantially expands the published features of retinocytoma by describing the cystic nature of some retinocytomas as well as clinical characteristics of the endophytic and exophytic preregression growth patterns. The authors report two different patterns of reactivation: benign cystic enlargement and malignant transformation with or without cystic growth. Higher than previously reported frequency of growth and possible life-threatening complications impose close lifetime follow-up of retinocytoma patients.

Also, I would really like to convert both my 'firstname.lastname@example.com' e-mail account and the 'firstname.lastname@example.com' e-mail account to googlemail.
This would mean that both admins could read the conversation thread in the 'info' account which deals with hall bookings and general enquiries. And for my personal Forest e-mail I could start organising stuff into separate folders which I can't do now with RoundCube.
Having networked computers and all our e-mail accounts on googlemail would make the admins' life much easier!
Thank you x

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have to live on-campus?
A: No, your House is based on your interests. However, students who do live on particular floors in Maria's Tower and John Street will automatically be placed in the connected House (see number 4).
Q: Is there an actual house?
A: No, although we hope there will be a gathering place on campus for members of the House to hang-out. And some House members live on a themed floor.
Q: What do I get for joining a House?
A: You will get a series of events that are exclusively for your House, and you'll get them free or nearly free; you will also get information about events that fit your House's theme that are open to the Dyson community. You will have direct access to a faculty "don" and peer-leaders ( more senior Pace students). Finally, you'll get to experience college more fully with a group of people who share your interests.
Q: How do the Dyson Houses relate to the Theme Floors in Maria's Tower?
A: All Dyson students on theme floor will be in the connected House, but Houses are bigger than the floor, containing about 80 more freshmen than those living on that floor. House events will involve all students in the House, wherever they live.
Q: Which Houses go with which floors?
A: All Dyson students living on these floors will automatically become members of the connected House: ACE (Animation, Comics, Entertainment) connects with Civic Engagement Floor; Body and Mind House connects with Express; Gotham connects with Music Appreciation Floor; One World connects Mosaic Floor; and OUThouse connects with Between Takes 1st Generation Floor.
Q: Do I have to choose any particular courses?
A: There is no requirement that you take any particular courses to be in the House, however House dons will suggest to you, both for your first semester and beyond, courses which fit the House themes.
Q: When will I first meet my Housemates?
A: The house lounge on Wednesday, September 5, the first day of classes.
Q: Are there other ways to meet my Housemates?
A: There is a Facebook page for each House. As soon as we know who is going to be in each House, we will set up email listservs to connect faculty dons, peer leaders, and all Housemates by e-mail.
Q: What if I have questions about the whole thing; who should I ask?
A: The overarching evil genius behind the Houses is a guy named Bill Offutt, Associate Professor of History. You should address him as Bill and e-mail him your questions at email@example.com or message him on Facebook. Once you get started in a House, you'll be able to ask your faculty don and peer leader questions too, but for the summer, Bill's the guy.
A: Send us an e-mail (to firstname.lastname@example.com), use the response form on-line, or return the form at orientation. It's first-come, first-served, so if you're interested, please don't delay!

This webpage, "LA/ONTario -- The Facts" presents the central questions about which there has been considerable discussion, and includes media reports examining the underlying reasons for passenger declines at ONT along with many other small and medium hub airports. For each of the questions, we have provided answers grounded in facts. While we do not expect that this information will end debate about the future of ONT, we hope it will add to the quality of data that frames this debate.
Our commitment has, for nearly 48 years, propelled ONT from obscurity to prominence. While the airport has felt the impact of changes in commercial aviation's reaction to the national and regional recession, one of the largest and longest lasting in memory, we are positioning ONT today to prosper upon the Inland Empire's return to economic vitality. In 2014 ONT experienced its first increase in passenger traffic since 2007. Notwithstanding a continued squeeze on seat capacity by the airlines, 2014 passenger traffic numbers increased by nearly 4% compared to 2013. This increase in passenger activity is occurring for a number of reasons: flights serving ONT are at or near aircraft capacity, International traffic is up significantly, and the economy surrounding ONT is improving. While these are positive signs, we continue to watch changes in the aviation industry so as to keep ONT positioned to accept more traffic over time. We will also continue efforts and initiatives for a successful ONT. These include regular meetings with existing and potential airlines, creative air service marketing aimed at showcasing ONT's strengths, and building partnerships with external stakeholders wherever possible.

Short Men Hairstyles
Cool and casual is the main idea for this light brown hairdo. The back and sides are cropped short and close to the head blending into the top layers that jagged cut for height and texture. This look is great for those with naturally straight hair and needs a little product for hold and shine.

Topic: Deployment and initial admin authentication.
When deploying a Rails application that will be administered by a special user, how does one go about initializing this initial admin?
I would like to create a website that is administered by one special user. This user will be able to login, manage users and content, etc... But, when deploying a website, this administrator will not exist yet. How does one properly deploy a website and then initialize this first admin user before anyone else can use the application/website?
