TV Antennas for local channels
TV antenna choice is more than simply imputing a zip signal on a webpage, that's why we have created this help guide to assist relieve the process. Unfortunately, there's absolutely no one size meets all option. To precisely select a TV antenna, we need some basic information regarding your location, then follow some crucial installation notes. Let's begin.
Find your digital tv transmitters
You should understand where neighborhood broadcast towers are observed, as which will potentially impede your sign. television antennas tend to be a line of sight technology, therefore obtaining the clearest view of the towers brings inside strongest signal.
Mastering how long away from the broadcast transmitters you might be can help you determine how powerful the TV antenna should be. But local obstructions, installation hardware and antenna placement are important factors in antenna choice.
This stated, it is generally preferable to put in your antenna as high as feasible, pointed in the direction of the broadcast towers, and out-of-doors with as couple of obstructions that you can.
Using the enter your road target and zip rule getting detail by detail chart listing length, and way of your regional transmitters. Here you can view if towers are found as a group in 1 place – like nyc, Chicago, and la – or if you will need a multi-directional antenna to receive indicators from numerous locations.
VHF or UHF
Whilst almost all networks in the united states are broadcast on the UHF, there could be some in your town broadcast on the VHF. What this means is a VHF kit might be required together with your television antenna. If the VHF station is transmitted on a lower life expectancy regularity (RF Channel 2-6) you will need a particular outside antenna that will receive these Lo-VHF channels. Lo-VHF is quite rare but they are nevertheless online!
The geography (or put associated with land) betwixt your address together with transmitters can vary greatly considerably. Obstructions particularly trees, buildings or hills may break down or block the sign traveling to where you are. Use the satellite view aided by the inside evaluation to determine the local topography for the antenna set up. Should you encounter many obstructions, an outdoor TV antenna mounted as high as possible is normally advisable.
Exterior set up is most beneficial, but Antennas Direct antennas can be set up inside or perhaps in attics. (50per cent strength/range is missing indoors).
Simple, direct contacts and installations would be best. The more junctions within the installation, the greater the sign reduction.
Every time the signal is split (to go to another TV) signal energy is paid down, therefore a low-noise amp may be needed to aid compensate for the sign reduction.
Install the antenna in which sign is "present". Move the antenna to different areas until signals are found. Often one end of roofing or room features much better signal traits as compared to other individuals.
Request assistance
If you're uncertain which television antenna suits you we've a separate team of installation specialists that will gladly benefit selection, or suggest a local installer to acquire set-up.

what is a good, cheap/free tv program that i can watch my local television stations on my computer? | Yahoo Answers
i plugged my computer to my tv, and i don't have a controller to switch between the two. so i need a television program.
You might check out Slingbox. It might be a couple of hundred which I would guess is more than you want to pay but it will not only let you watch tv and video sources on your computer but also let you watch from anywhere you have a good internet connection. The sling connection will go back to your computer and the slingbox and you can watch your local tv or if you have a dvd player hooked up (I have a sony 400 disc machine) you can select and watch any dvd you want. You should be able to get one from Best Buy.

Facebook is the WORST. Sometimes you feel like you're drowning in a sea of engagement rings and couples' vacas and new babies and weddings. Why does it feel like those are the ONLY posts that pop up when you're feeling lonely? Damn you Mark Zuckerberg/ Fakw Micheal Cera!ReplyDelete
I feel like I am the only single girl quite a bit, and it sucks majorly. There is really no other way to put it.ReplyDelete
I hate being asked at church/family gatherings/anytime I'm near my grandma whether or not I am dating anyone/have met anyone/will be married soon. Everyone says that they are praying for me to find my soul mate. Well, that is nice, but cannot you simply pray for me to be happy? To love my life? I honestly think that sometimes THEY are the ones who are most uncomfortable with the fact that I am not mated for life yet.
I am tired of waiting for THAT MAN to come along, so I am simply going to quit waiting. I am going to focus on my job, my health, and my own happiness. If others find this selfish, so be it. It is my life to live, not theirs.
My friends are my soul mate. They each provide certain aspects of what I need to be happy, and when I combine it all I have something beautiful and glorious and better than any man could ever give me. I am blessed, man or not.
And so are you, dear, dear friend

BeautiFLY Your Life – Installment #7
Recently, I had the opportunity to see someone I love experience vulnerability. What I noticed from this was that it seemed uncomfortable for her, and yet for me, it was a beautiful thing to help someone at this deep level of intimacy. Why, then, do we consider being vulnerable a weakness? For as long as […]Read Article

Following on from my previous post re unreliable WiFi connections, I found that the problem was caused by calling
DataWriter::write()too soon after creating the
DataWriter. Because
write()is non-blocking it returned immediately without doing anything. Also, because it is
void, there is no error return code.
So the publishing app was not in fact sending anything, and I had no way of knowing.
It obviously needed more time to assemble its plumbing, so I put in a 2 second sleep, after which it worked.
I saw a forum post about this:
However, this is not an ideal solution. Two seconds will usually be overkill, but occasionally not enough.
- Is there any way I can test if the
DataWriteris ready to write? Is there a status flag to tell me?
- If so, would I need to test before every write, or only the first write after object construction?

With Miller Genuine Draft
We love Ibiza! So much so, in fact, that we release two magazines dedicated to the Spanish Party Island, every year! It is the No.1 global dance music destination, with seven of the world's best clubs on one small strip of land in the Mediterranean. However, don't think for a second it is your only choice! Check out our guide to the best European summer alternatives...
Often heralded as the 'new Ibiza', Croatia has everything you need for a summer clubbing holiday. Like Ibiza, of old, Croatia boasts beautiful outdoor clubs where you can dance until dawn. Although the costs have increased in line with its popularity, it is still comparatively inexpensive. The summer season welcomes a range of festivals and events including DJ Mag favourites: Hideout, Garden Festival and even our own DJ Mag event. The island of Pag has the biggest concentration of clubs; Papaya, Noa and Aquarius all sit together on Zrce Beach and often collaborate during festival season.
For centuries, the Greek Islands have been an essential travel experience. In addition to their natural beauty, these islands also boast some incredible nightclubs. Mykonos alone is home to Paradise Club & Cavo Paradiso, which both featured in 2015's Top 100 Clubs Poll. Cavo Paradiso sits on top of a beautiful cliff face overlooking the ocean. Paradise has an ocean view too, albeit from ground level. Throughout the summer, the World's biggest DJs are welcomed to the island for huge events at both venues.
For many years Bulgaria's club scene centred around the capital of Sofia. The coastal regions always had great clubs, but they were largely overtaken with pop music. However, the times are changing. Over the last few years, Sunny Beach, on Bulgaria's Black Sea Coast, has hosted some of dance music's biggest DJs. The Solar Summer Festival, which takes place every August, is a definite highlight. The event, which is run by Yalta Club, welcomed Marco Carola and Hot Since 82 to the Cacao Beach Club in 2015. The same venue regularly book dance music acts, putting Sunny Beach well and truly on the global clubbing map!
Where are you partying this summer? Be sure to let us know by posting on the Miller Genuine Draft Facebook Page.

I saw a faint plume of faint smoke (or what could have been steam from a building, etc.) up on the left (West) side of the freeway. It was just about unremarkable, but as I approached the exit,...Read More

BEST SUBVERSION: Raising Stony Mayhall, by Daryl GregoryRead about the other entries on the list.
Zombie apocalypses have flirted with the idea of "zombies—they're just like us!" plenty of times, but few have leaned into the idea as effectively as Gregory, who tells the story of a frozen baby who turns out to be of the undead when found—and adopted by—a local family. Raised in a living household, Stony doesn't fit in anywhere—not with the living, not with his fellow zombies. This is probably the most tragic zombie story ever written.

When builders created Halifax's distinctive Hydrostone neighbourhood more than a century ago, they chose to honour celebrated explorers. There are streets named after William Grant Stairs, Christopher Columbus, John Cabot and Henry Morton Stanley, among others.
But now some residents are taking a closer look at the legacies of the men the streets are named for, part of a national trend examining whether people honoured on the country's maps are worthy of celebration.
"We live today in a society that does not honour explorers and what they did," Frances Early, a retired Mount Saint Vincent University history professor, said in a recent interview. "We live in a society that understands that we live on unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq people. If we are going to commemorate, we need to commemorate appropriately."
Early lives on Stairs Place in the Hydrostone, named after the Halifax-born explorer who was instrumental in some of the most violent expeditions across Africa. A few blocks over is Columbus Place, which is just down from Cabot Place.
She said the street names weren't chosen by the city or its citizens but by the construction company that built the housing after much of the area had been levelled by the Halifax Explosion in 1917. It was a time when the military town of Halifax was enamoured with all things British and imperial.
- 'Enough is enough': Ottawa hikes student visa financial onus, threatens limits
- McGill University applications down a 'catastrophic' 20% after out-of-province tuition hike
- Death toll in Canada's cantaloupe salmonella outbreak rises to 5: PHAC
- On the Brink: The 'harsh environment' of youth homelessness from a lived experience
"Many of the streets are named after explorers to honour white explorers, and it provoked absolutely no discussion," Early said. And as a local figure, Stairs made for a great addition alongside the likes of Columbus and Stanley, a British explorer of Central Africa.
Jonathan Roberts, a history professor at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax, said in a recent interview that Stairs was a leading figure in several trips to attempt to "pacify" parts of Africa. Stairs' journals outline the strategy he adopted on his travels, which included ambushing villages and killing thieves who stole from his encampment.
Like Early, Roberts wants the city to reconsider the names of Stairs Place and Stairs Street. In April, he went to the neighbourhood to shoot a video in which he recounts the life and legacy of the colonialist. In it, Roberts reads a passage from Stairs' journals, which were published after his death in 1892.
"It was most interesting lying in the bush and watching the natives quietly at their day's work … all as it was every day until our discharge of bullets, when the usual uproar and screaming of women took place," the journals read.
Roberts said he wanted to inform residents of Stairs' notoriety, and he has created an online petition to have the street renamed. "There are grand gestures of decolonization and there are incremental, small acts of decolonization and I want to do, at least, a small act if I can contribute," Roberts said.
Roberts and Early's efforts reflect a growing conversation around names and the place they have in society, said Lauren Beck, a professor of Hispanic studies at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick. She said the "moral anxiety" around names has shifted over time with our values.
Beck is tackling the issue in her upcoming book, "Canada's Place Names and How to Change Them," which she expects to see published in 2022. The book looks at names across the country through racialized and gendered lenses.
In a recent interview, Beck said some of the earliest names in Canada were informed by Christianity and were often named after saints by early explorers and settlers. "The landscape of the Americas not only becomes Christianized in many ways, but also quite masculine in a European sort of way," Beck said of the early development of Canada.
In her book, Beck said she will address how names are given, the power to legitimize and maintain a name and a strategy to change names in a way that doesn't alienate too many people.
"Many of the names on our maps, when they do celebrate people, many of those people are wealthier people, or they're politicians who have a very specific role in our society," Beck said. "What would we call our places if we were given the opportunity to make them welcoming and inclusive, reflective of the population, rather than just one demographic?"
Last year in Halifax, a task force recommended the permanent removal of a statue dedicated to city founder Edward Cornwallis and the renaming of a street and park honouring him. The task force concluded public commemoration of Cornwallis, the British officer accused of practising genocide against the local Indigenous population, is incompatible with current values.
Coun. Lindell Smith, whose district includes the Hydrostone neighbourhood, said in an interview Friday that concerns about street names in the area have not been put to council. He said he supports replacing the explorers' names but still needs to get feedback from residents.
"We've gone through processes where we've looked at the historical context of street names and asset names, so it's not a process we don't know how to do," Smith said of the city. "I think it might be a good time to have those discussions if they're coming forward."
For Early, the Hydrostone street names represent values that are no longer held by the people of Halifax.
"What does commemoration signify? Why do we name streets and buildings after people?" she asked. "We do this because at any given moment, we are acknowledging people or events that we respect or want remembered in our society."
"Nothing stays the same, does it?" she added. "Society moves on."

Into The Frost
I knew it was freezing last night and I awoke to beautiful white frost, the grass crunched under foot and the cold bit my hands, only one thing for it - pike!
I went barbel fishing. Mainly due to lack of time but as I'm on a roll at the moment, excuse the pun, I thought I'd try and land a rare December barbel.
I spotted a couple of barbel and gave them some free samples, which they completely ignored. I did manage to get a cube of meat to bounce off one of their heads - this was not looking good. And it was made worse when James phoned to say he was pike fishing and the pike were feeding.
There was no point fishing for these two - but I gave it a couple of casts anyway. I move a short distance upstream where I spotted three more fish. These would eat the free samples as long as you got them right in front of their noses.
Targeting the biggest of the bunch I got a cube of meat right in front of him and he obliged, great fight on the light lure rod and my December prize was in the net. Scales fail again but it was about 8½lb. I've bought new scales and right after I've finished typing this I'm going to put them in my bag. In fact I'm going to do it now.
[Goes to get new scales, can't find new scales, blames cat who wakes up just long enough to not give a sh*t]
Barbel check, lets try and find a chub. I searched for over an hour and didn't even see a chub - where are they? I did have two more takes, both from barbel but both times I failed to get a hook-hold.
Enough time had passed, perhaps the barbel I got feeding earlier would like their photo taken. I crept back to the spot to find a man standing in the water with a net - f**king poacher!
Turns out he was a scientist doing a study of the insect life in rivers that are frequently polluted (the net was really small). We had a very interesting chat about bug life and some other trout studies he's involved with.
Anyway, that was the end of the fishing. December barbel - get in!

Considering the pike were feeding only the lost double of roughly 15-16lb provided action on their part, but did manage a Chub on a mepps spinner which I have to say is seldom done by myself.ReplyDelete
Well done on the Barbus, not easy this time of year.
* Same barbel as last week 8lb 6ozReplyDelete
** 'Interesting chat' was for me, poor scientist is probably sick of talking to us dumb anglers. He was interested in (and aware of) the sea trout though.
*** Still can't find my new scales
well done brian-braver than me(i'm lumbered with one-species mentality and a fear of daylight!)whilst i've had them colder,even with the net frozen to the bank,i like to get the first few frosts out of the way.it cracked me up that you were jealous of james,but that you caught and he didn't(intended target anyway)! by the way,has the cat taken on a strange rectangular shape of late?ReplyDeleteReplies
Cheers Grant, jellousy vanished when I found a feeding fish! Haven't bothered with night fishing this season, like to spot them, great result considering the conditions. But it really is pike time...Delete
And I think the cat has hidden the scales as revenge for me weighing her!Delete
haha,i didn't know you had weighed her.maybe a bit more field testing will help apologise.i'm not sure using a yorkshire terrier is a good indication of a good flavour either though-mine scoffs anything!Delete
not that i'm comparing my catches to anyone else,they're beyond my wildest expectations,,just sharing really so here goes.i'm a fair few behind you on 38 and though blanks are few and far between,more than 2 at night is a red letter 'day'.average size seems to be higher too.my fishing hours/days are usually dictated by work, or lack of it,travel(i live on the 'other' side)and an addiction to football. it seems that most methods work at most times-rolling,static,night/day,meat/pellets/boilies/maggots.if it ain't broke-don't fix it!good luck with your toothy critters-they're safe from me!Delete
Yeah work is a pain, I'm just fitting a few hours in here and there. Only managed 6 barbel last season, be lovely to get 60 this season, 13 to go, but I've probably left it a bit late...Delete
The Beard and the Barbel.ReplyDelete
Better get after that thirty then, eh………..
you'll do it easily mate.there will be mild spells and the odd surprise,and we only need a slight rising temperature.might have a bash with maggots soon.ReplyDelete

Mike Hammari and Matthew Julander have been making videos together since the mid-2000s. We started out just wanting to make people laugh with our no-budget YouTube offerings, but have gradually advanced to doing industrials, videos for non-profits, commercials, and more. Cherie Julander joined our little concern when she foolishly agreed to marry Matthew, but has proven to be a great asset for her wide range of talents and abilities.
Cherie Julander
Cherie is an actress, writer, and director. She has performed on stage and in films for over two decades. She recently served as the theatrical producer for Evermore amusement park in Pleasant Grove, Utah. She is an award winning screenwriter and director, with several of her works earning honors in various film festivals and contests. She won best director in the 2020 Trapped Film Festival and best film at the 2018 Woodbury Film Festival for her film "Honey Do," and was a Semi-Finalist in the 2020 Page Awards for her screenplay "By Blood."
Matthew Julander
Matthew graduated from the film program at Brigham Young University in 1998 with an emphasis in screenwriting. He then moved to Los Angeles and spent nearly 20 years working on films, TV shows, and on other smaller video projects in various capacities. He started as a lowly intern in a development company called Davis Entertainment. From there, he gravitated toward the camera and grip/electric departments and ended up learning the skills and acquiring the gear of a gaffer and cinematographer.
Matthew has done lighting both for live action film and still photography. He has worked with celebrities like Jessica Alba, football player Russel Wilson, comedians Maz Jobrani and David Koechner, and musician will.i.am. On the stills side, he has done lighting for major fashion brands like Forever 21 and the Gap, for publications like People Magazine, and for events like the 2016 SAG Awards.
Matthew currently works and resides in Utah. He has served as cinematographer or gaffer on numerous commercials, corporate shoots, movies, and reality television shows.
Mike Hammari
Mike has spent years writing and performing sketch comedy. He has produced and directed both live shows on the stage and filmed shows for the screen, and often performs major roles in both. Not only is Mike an accomplished actor and comedian, but he is a guitar-playing singer/songwriter as well.
While producing the web series "A Christmas Barrel," Mike acquired a number of skills that make him into something of a video swiss army knife. Mike is adept at working with green screens and complex compositing to produce interesting and exciting special effects.

Let's start by defining terms. Multi-master replication means that applications update the same tables on different masters, and the changes replicate automatically between those masters. Remote sites mean that the masters are separated by a wide area network (WAN), which implies high average network latency of 100ms or more. WAN network latency is also characterized by a long tail, ranging from seconds due to congestion to hours or even days if a ship runs over the wrong undersea cable.
With the definitions in mind we can proceed to the lessons. The list is not exhaustive but includes a few insights that may not be obvious if you are new to multi-master topologies. Also, I have omitted issues like monitoring replication, using InnoDB to make slaves crash-safe, or provisioning new nodes. If you use master/slave replication, you are likely familiar with these topics already.
1. Use the Right Replication Technology and Configure It Properly
The best overall tool for MySQL multi-master replication between sites is Tungsten. The main reason for this assertion is that Tungsten uses a flexible, asynchronous, point-to-point, master/slave replication model that handles a wide variety of topologies such as star replication or all-to-all. Even so, you have to configure Tungsten properly. The following topology is currently my favorite:
- All-to-all topology. Each master replicates directly to every other master. This handles prolonged network outages or replication failures well, because one or more masters can drop out without breaking replication between the remaining masters or requiring reconfiguration. When the broken master(s) return, replication just resumes on all sides. All-to-all does not work well if you have a large number of masters.
- Updates are not logged on slaves. This keeps master binlogs simple, which is helpful for debugging, and eliminates the possibility of loops. It also requires some extra configuration if the masters have their own slaves, as would be the case in a Tungsten Enterprise cluster.
One approach you should approach with special caution is MySQL circular replication. In topologies of three or more nodes, circular replication results in broken systems if one of the masters fails. Also, you should be wary of any kind of synchronous multi-master replication across sites that are separated by more than 50 kilometers (i.e. 1-2ms latency). Synchronous replication makes a siren-like promise of consistency but the price you pay is slow performance under normal conditions and broken replication when WAN links go down.
2. Use Row-Based Replication to Avoid Data Drift
Replication depends on deterministic updates--a transaction that changes 10 rows on the original master should change exactly the same rows when it executes against a replica. Unfortunately many SQL statements that are deterministic in master/slave replication are non-deterministic in multi-master topologies. Consider the following example, which gives a 10% raise to employees in department #35.
UPDATE emp SET salary = salary * 1.1 WHERE dep_id = 35;
If all masters add employees, then the number of employees who actually get the raise will vary depending on whether such additions have replicated to all masters. Your servers will very likely become inconsistent with statement replication. The fix is to enable row-based replication using binlog-format=row in my.cnf. Row replication transfers the exact row updates from each master to the others and eliminates ambiguity.
3. Prevent Key Collisions on INSERTs
For applications that use auto-increment keys, MySQL offers a useful trick to ensure that such keys do not collide between masters using the auto-increment-increment and auto-increment-offset parameters in my.cnf. The following example ensures that auto-increment keys start at 1 and increment by 4 to give values like 1, 5, 9, etc. on this server.
auto-increment-offset = 1
auto-increment-increment = 4
This works so long as your applications use auto-increment keys faithfully. However, any table that either does not have a primary key or where the key is not an auto-increment field is suspect. You need to hunt them down and ensure the application generates a proper key that does not collide across masters, for example using UUIDs or by putting the server ID into the key. Here is a query on the MySQL information schema to help locate tables that do not have an auto-increment primary key.
SELECT t.table_schema, t.table_name
FROM information_schema.tables t
(SELECT * FROM information_schema.columns c
WHERE t.table_schema = c.table_schema
AND t.table_name = c.table_name
AND c.column_key = 'PRI'
AND c.extra = 'auto_increment')
4. Beware of Semantic Conflicts in Applications
Neither Tungsten nor MySQL native replication can resolve conflicts, though we are starting to design this capability for Tungsten. You need to avoid them in your applications. Here are a few tips as you go about this.
First, avoid obvious conflicts. These include inserting data with the same keys on different masters (described above), updating rows in two places at once, or deleting rows that are updated elsewhere. Any of these can cause errors that will break replication or cause your masters to become out of sync. The good news is that many of these problems are not hard to detect and eliminate using properly formatted transactions. The bad news is that these are the easy conflicts. There are others that are much harder to address.
For example, accounting systems need to generate unbroken sequences of numbers for invoices. A common approach is to use a table that holds the next invoice number and increment it in the same transaction that creates a new invoice. Another accounting example is reports that need to read the value of accounts consistently, for example at monthly close. Neither example works off-the-shelf in a multi-master system with asynchronous replication, as they both require some form of synchronization to ensure global consistency across masters. These and other such cases may force substantial application changes. Some applications simply do not work with multi-master topologies for this reason.
5. Remove Triggers or Make Them Harmless
Triggers are a bane of replication. They conflict with row replication if they run by accident on the slave. They can also create strange conflicts due to weird behavior/bugs (like this) or other problems like needing definer accounts present. MySQL native replication turns triggers off on slaves when using row replication, which is a very nice feature that prevents a lot of problems.
Tungsten on the other hand cannot suppress slave-side triggers. You must instead alter each trigger to add an IF statement that prevents the trigger from running on the slave. The technique is described in the Tungsten Cookbook. It is actually quite flexible and has some advantages for cleaning up data because you can also suppress trigger execution on the master.
You should regard all triggers with suspicion when moving to multi-master. If you cannot eliminate triggers, at least find them, look at them carefully to ensure they do not generate conflicts, and test them very thoroughly before deployment. Here's a query to help you hunt them down:
SELECT trigger_schema, trigger_name
FROM information_schema.triggers;
Master/slave replication has its discontents, but at least sorting out messed up replicas is simple: re-provision from another slave or the master. No so with multi-master topologies--you can easily get into a situation where all masters have transactions you need to preserve and the only way to sort things out is to track down differences and update masters directly. Here are some thoughts on how to do this.
- Ensure you have tools to detect inconsistencies. Tungsten has built-in consistency checking with the 'trepctl check' command. You can also use the Percona Toolkit pt-table-checksum to find differences. Be forewarned that neither of these works especially well on large tables and may give false results if more than one master is active when you run them.
- Consider relaxing foreign key constraints. I love foreign keys because they keep data in sync. However, they can also create problems for fixing messed up data, because the constraints may break replication or make it difficult to go table-by-table when synchronizing across masters. There is an argument for being a little more relaxed in multi-master settings.
- Switch masters off if possible. Fixing problems is a lot easier if you can quiesce applications on all but one master.
- Know how to fix data. Being handy with SQL is very helpful for fixing up problems. I find SELECT INTO OUTFILE and LOAD DATA INFILE quite handy for moving changes between masters. Don't forget SET SESSION LOG_FILE_BIN=0 to keep changes from being logged and breaking replication elsewhere. There are also various synchronization tools like pt-table-sync, but I do not know enough about them to make recommendations.
(Disclaimer: My company sells support for Tungsten so I'm not unbiased. That said, commercial outfits really earn their keep on problems like this.)
7. Test Everything
Cutting corners on testing for multi-master can really hurt. This article has described a lot of things to look for, so put together a test plan and check for them. Here are a few tips on procedure:
- Set up a realistic pre-prod test with production data snapshots.
- Have a way to reset your test environment quickly from a single master, so you can get back to a consistent state to restart testing.
- Run tests on all masters, not just one. You never know if things are properly configured everywhere until you try.
- Check data consistency after tests. Quiesce your applications and run a consistency check to compare tables across masters.
Before moving to a multi-master replication topology you should ask yourself whether the trouble is justified. You can get many of the benefits of multi-master with system-of-record architectures with a lot less heartburn. That said, an increasing number of applications do require full multi-master across multiple sites. If you operate one of them, I hope this article is helpful in getting you deployed or improving what you already have.
Tungsten does a pretty good job of multi-master replication already, but I am optimistic we can make it much better. There is a wealth of obvious features around conflict resolution, data repair, and up-front detection of problems that will make life better for Tungsten users and reduce our support load. Plus I believe we can make it easier for developers to write applications that run on multi-master DBMS topologies. You will see more about how we do this in future articles on this blog.

A walker says she was left 'horrified' after seeing piles of rubbish spilling into a river which leads to one of the city's key tourist spots.
Glynis Dyson has accused Chelson Meadow Recycling Centre for marring the River Plym, near to Saltram House, but council chiefs insist this is the work of irresponsible fly-tippers.
Miss Dyson, who lives in Lipson, was walking along the path, which bypasses the tip, on Monday when she spotted the litter blowing into the river "from the centre itself".
And to make matters worse, she claims staff were "making no attempt" to clear the mess up.
The 56-year-old freelance copy-editor and proofreader said: "I was angry and frustrated at seeing the litter. Only the day before I'd watched a shared video on Facebook of a whale that had swum into a harbour in Norway to die.
"Eventually it was shot as it wouldn't return to the sea and was clearly in distress. When they opened it up they discovered 30 plastic bags in its stomach.
"I used to wonder how plastic got into the oceans; on Monday, at Chelson Meadow I understood why, and what was horrifying was that nobody seemed to care or be doing anything about it – and this at a time when the whole world is becoming aware of the problems of plastic in waterways and seas.
"On Friday last week [February 23] I actually picked up the largest of many plastic bags that were being blown around in that area and spent 30 minutes doing my best to clear up the worst of the rubbish.
"I took it over to the recycling centre and asked why nobody was doing this job. I was told that 'it was too windy' that day. I was flabbergasted.
"When I spoke to somebody in charge at the centre he told me that they sent people out two or three times a day to clear the rubbish. I don't think that is true.
"They may be obliged to do it, but I don't think that any clearing up is done on any regular basis there. In the meantime, the estuary is becoming choked with plastic bags and rubbish and this will affect the wildlife and the environment. It is heart-breaking that this is being allowed to happen."
It is estimated the world is now producing nearly 300 million tons of plastic every year, half of which is for single-use. More than eight million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year, it is said.
The United Nations Environment Programme estimates there could be as many as 51 trillion microplastic particles in the oceans already.
Scientists say plastic in the ocean disrupts the entire bio-geo cycle causing unwanted problems to the whole marine eco-system.
On seeing the pictures of the rubbish spilling into the River Plym, a spokesperson for Plymouth City Council insisted the site is cleared "on a daily basis" and the extra litter is probably the result of fly-tipping.
The spokesperson said: "Chelson Meadow is Plymouth's biggest household waste and recycling centre. To make sure that litter is not blown from the site it is swept and cleared on a daily basis to make sure there is no loose litter.
"The Ride Road is the scene of persistent fly-tipping and the majority of the waste pictured is likely to have resulted from that. The Street Scene and Waste Team have been informed and will investigate and clear the area.
"Fly tipping is one of the most infuriating environmental crimes committed by people who have no thought for others. It is also costly and time consuming, both to clear up and to investigate.
"We would strongly encourage anyone witnessing a fly tipping incident to report it via our website with any information they can provide."

As summer winds down, we thought it would be the ideal time to shift the focus of our Year of the Developers feature to third party Japanese developers who have worked with SEGA in the past to bring us countless classics. We are, of course, referring to the legendary developers Compile, Treasure and Westone. While these three developers existed on their own outside of SEGA, their collaborations with our favorite company utilizing beloved SEGA home console and arcade hardware went a long way in cementing their statuses as some of the best third party developers of the 80s and 90s.
Compile, Westone, and Treasure have over 100 titles combined, and that is only counting their releases published by SEGA! If you've been following our previous developer retrospectives, you'll know we like to run through as many games as possible. However, tackling three developers in one month means we're going to do things a bit differently. Each week, we are going to take a look at the histories of each of these developers and highlight their most famous titles, as well as some hidden gems. First up?
Compile: The History
Of our three featured developers, Compile has had not only the longest history with SEGA, but they also left a legacy that has made a major impact on SEGA's current output. I am, of course, talking about Compile's Tetris/Doctor Mario-inspired series of puzzle games Puyo Puyo. Like Tetris, pieces drop from above and land below, and like Doctor Mario and SEGA's Columns, players clear the board by rotating pairs of colored puyo and matching like colors. The better you do, the more your opponent is penalized with transparent garbage puyos which get in the way of combos and hinder gameplay. While Compile were undoubtably the king of Japanese puzzle games, the developer also created several other iconic games covering a wide range of genres. In fact, Compile is so prolific in their work with SEGA that they contributed to the library of every standalone SEGA console from the SG-1000 to the Dreamcast.
Founded in 1983 by Masamitsu "Moo" Niitani, Compile made their mark early by becoming a developer for Microsoft's MSX home computers. Their MSX contributions included the shoot 'em ups Zanac and Aleste, RPG games Golvellius and Madou Monogatari, the Madou Monogatari puzzle game spin-off Puyo Puyo (which soon eclipsed the RPG main series) and a variety of other games and compilations including the Disc Station series, which was the company's magazine which featured MSX demo discs. Compile also worked under license or contract for various developers. They worked with Naxat Soft on the Crush series of pinball games and with Hudson on the Blazing Lazers/Gunhed titles.
Eventually, Compile worked under contract for SEGA, porting SG-1000 games N-Sub, Tranquilizer Gun (Safari Hunt), and Borderline. SEGA, happy with the work Compile had done, brought them on for more SG-1000 SEGA ports and eventually made them an offer that would change Compile's future forever. SEGA saw something special in Compile's MSX game Puyo Puyo, and offered to make Puyo Puyo into an arcade game. Now the company that was porting SEGA games was being asked if SEGA could port a Compile game! The arcade port was a success, which lead to Compile developing the sequel Puyo Puyo Tsu ("Tsu" meaning "expert" and being a pun in that "Tsu" sounds like the english "two), defining their future as a console developer primarily focused on the Puyo Puyo series.
Since the release of the original game, Puyo Puyo has seen sequels on all major SEGA consoles, as well as other hardware including the WonderSwan, Playstation, and Neo Geo Pocket Color. The third game in the series, Puyo Puyo Sun ("Sun" being a pun on the Japanese word for the number three, "San (三)") shook up the formula of the first two games up by adding Sun puyos. Sun puyos acted similarly to garbage puyo, but had greater repercussions on your opponent when cleared. The third game was also unique in that it saw release on the Saturn, Playstation, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color, and Windows PC.
The fourth game in the series, Puyo Puyo~n ("yon", the Japanese word for four, appears if you pronounce the game's name as "Puyo Puyon") brought the series to the SEGA Dreamcast, making it the final main series release in the series developed by Compile. While the Puyo Puyo series never made its way West when Compile was developing the series, Americans and Europeans have likely played a version of the original game when it was localized as Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Gameplay remained the same, however the Puyo Puyo series characters were replaced with the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog villain Dr. Robotnik and his many badniks as they terrorize the citizens of Beanville. Kirby's Avalanche for the SNES also saw the series localized for the West, this time with Kirby and friends taking roles once filled by Puyo Puyo characters.
Compile also developed several Puyo Puyo spin-offs (yes, spin-offs of a spin-off) The Nazo Puyo series for Game Gear and the SNES expanded on the Mission Mode of the MSX release of Puyo Puyo, which tasked players with clearing the puyos on screen with the least amount of puyos. Interestingly, the first game in the Nazo Puyo series was only available as a bundled title with Game Gear hardware. Future sequels were given full retail releases and the SNES saw a retooled console version with an expanded story mode which then received its own sequel continuing the ongoing plot of the story mode.
Waku Waku Puyo Puyo Dungeon, released to the Saturn in 1998, was an action RPG with gameplay which differed greatly from Madou Monogatari, the RPG from which the Puyo Puyo puzzle series spun off from. Other Puyo Puyo spin-offs include simulation games (Puyo Puyo Gaiden: Puyo Wars), handheld RPGs (Arle no Bouken: Mahou no Jewel) and rhythm games (Puyo Puyo Da! Featuring Ellena System).
Despite being busy with Puyo Puyo, Compile did manage to develop other original and licensed titles. Golvellius is a fun RPG for the Master System which plays similarly to Zelda II, featuring an over world view and platformer gameplay when dungeons are entered. Compile also developed the much loved Casino Games, also for the Master System. While the games themselves are what one would expect from a casino game compilation, Compile infused plenty of quirk and charm including the most depressing game over screen to ever exist and an alligator walking through a field. Because that's that happens when you are on a losing streak in real casinos, right?
Believe it or not, Compile also developed Ghostbusters for the Genesis/Mega Drive! While Nintendo fans suffered through lackluster Ghostbusters games developed by Activision, Genesis/Mega Drive owners enjoyed an action platformer that continued the story of the original Ghostbusters film and featured inventive bosses, catchy music, and challenging gameplay. Compile also handled the Master System port of Ghostbusters, which was based on Activision's NES version but thanks to Compile, featured improved graphics and gameplay.
Compile has also developed their fair share of shoot 'em ups, including Power Strike II for the Master System. Compile also released a Power Strike II for the Game Gear, however unlike most Game Gear games which also appeared on the Master System, the Game Gear Power Strike II is a Western localization of GG Aleste II. Robo Aleste is another vertical shoot 'em up worth playing, released to all regions to the SEGA CD. The game is the only title in the Aleste series of games to use the Aleste name in all territories.
In 2002, Compile filed for bankruptcy and disbanded, however former staff have kept the Compile spirit alive in several companies. Compile founder Niitani formed Compile Heart, developing puzzle games for arcades and handhelds. Currently, Compile Heart is a subsidiary of Idea Factory and as of 2010 Idea Factory owns the rights to the Compile library after a brief acquisition of the Compile library by online publisher D4 Entertainment. Most recently, Compile Heart gained notoriety by developing the Hyperdimension Neptunia series of games – a unique RPG series featuring anime girls inspired by video game consoles.
Milestone Inc. and Eighting, meanwhile, continue Compile's shoot' em up legacy, while developer Aiky has brought Compile shoot 'em up Aleste to mobile phones. Compile's greatest achievement, Puyo Puyo, lives on as a wholly owned property of SEGA with new games developed by Sonic Team.
Compile has had a long and interesting history, and while the original Compile may not exist, the spirit of the developer is kept alive thanks to the devoted former staff and SEGA's efforts to keep the Puyo Puyo series alive.Ad:

Multiple day event schedules:
Sometimes, we come across a situation in which we have to organize an event that lasts for more than one day. Organizing such events is hard and stressful. No matter you are an expert and experienced event organizer or someone at entry-level, you can always organize the event like a pro if you schedule everything ahead of time.
What is a multiple-day event schedule?
Multiple day schedule is a document that is used to keep track of dates and locations of the event. The purpose of this schedule is to manage everything effectively.
As a matter of fact, every event scheduler faces the problem of scheduling the event since there are lots of things to be kept track of. The use of the event schedule makes it easier for the event organizer to organize the event without any error.
Importance of multiple-day event schedule template:
Different types of events are organized in different organizations these days. These events may be educational events, promotional events seminars, or conferences. There is a need to make a comprehensive schedule in which all the tasks related to the event organizers should be mentioned.
Event scheduling requires the user to assign different activities to different days and time intervals. This seems to be very easy but as the list of tasks to be accomplished an increase in number, it becomes complex for the event organizer to schedule them. The multiple event schedule template is for such people who are not very skilled at organizing the event comprising of different days.
What are the benefits of the template?
- Many people prefer using this template because it helps them organize and schedule everything quickly. In this way, the template is capable of performing the task of event management in no time.
- The template also lets the user save the events, locations, and times of different activities that the user can also use later for organizing events in the future.
- The template contains a number of spreadsheets that help in improving the integration of various details.

Thermaltake Launches View 71 Tempered Glass Edition Full-Tower Chassis Series
Thermaltake launched the View 71 Tempered Glass Edition. Originally spotted by our team at Computex, this full-tower chassis shared our Best of Computex award for most tempered glass.
The View 71 Tempered Glass Edition features 5mm tempered glass panels on four of its six sides. The tempered glass panels on the front and top of the chassis are attached to the frame via thumb screws, whereas the ones on the sides of the chassis are equipped with hinges in the rear and thumbscrews in the front. The rear-mounted hinges make it easy to access your system components without having to fully remove the heavy tempered glass side panel.
This chassis supports up to EATX motherboards, graphics cards as long as 410mm, PSUs up to 220mm, and CPU heatsinks as tall as 190mm. There are eight expansion slots as well as support for a vertically-mounted dual-slot graphics card. Up to seven 3.5" and ten 2.5" hard drives can be mounted in the View 71 TG. Those numbers are reduced to three and six, respectively, if the HDD case is removed from the main compartment.
There are mounting locations for nine 120mm fans or six 140mm fans. The case ships with two Tt Riing blue 140mm intake fans in the front and one blue 140mm exhaust fan in the rear. Radiators as large as 420mm can be mounted in the top front and side of the chassis. All intake fan mounting locations are covered by magnetic dust filters for easy cleaning and maintenance.
The Thermaltake View 71 Tempered Glass Edition features the company's proprietary LCS certification. Simply put, any product that is LCS (Liquid Cooling Supported) is guaranteed to work with other LCS compatible products. This takes the guesswork out of choosing components for your system build.
The Thermaltake View 71 Tempered Glass Edition also comes in an RGB version that sports Tt Riing RGB fans.

2016-1 Winners
The Winner Selection Process
A total of 4,239 MBA students, undergraduate business students, and non-student contestants from 110 universities in 40 countries on all 6 continents took enrolled in the 2016-1 round of the X-Culture competition. Of those, 3,738 passed the Readiness Test and successfully completed the project, the vast majority competing in global virtual teams, about a hundred people competing in collocated teams, and a few dozen people competing individually.
A total of 725 reports were submitted in the 2016-1 round of the X-Culture competition.
The reports were sent out for evaluation to a large group of International Business experts, mainly International Business professors from around the world (135 people from 40 countries). Each report was independently evaluated by 4 to 7 experts along multiple dimensions, such as report creativity, clarity, viability of the ideas, style, as well as evaluation of each report section. The experts also provided qualitative feedback.
Based on the expert evaluations, 10 best reports (complete list below) with nearly perfect scores were selected and sent for additional evaluation to the X-Culture International Award Committee comprised of 10 International Business experts representing 8 different countries. They re-read each of the 10 finalist reports one more time and provided their recommendations as to the winners.
Based on these 10 additional sets of evaluations, 3 reports received an equal number of nominations for the Award.
To select one best report, we (1) posted all three reports on the X-Culture's page and asked the "crowd" to provide their evaluation of the reports; (2) asked the client companies to provide their feedback, and (3) reviewed the super-finalist reports one more time at X-Culture's central office.
The "crowd" evaluations provided useful insights into the relative quality of the reports, although a number of votes had to be disqualified. First, some of the nominations lacked a clear explanation of why a particular report was nominated and it was not clear if the person even read the report. Second, many nominations came from friends of the finalist team members (thank you for acknowledging that, Raters). Due to a possible conflict of interest these nominations were taken very cautiously. Notably, many nominations were substantiated by strong compelling arguments and were taken into account. The information provided in all supporting arguments was carefully evaluated against the content of the reports in question.
The feedback from the client companies was limited in the sense that each of the three super finalists reports were written for different clients, so a direct comparison was impossible. However, based on the client feedback with respect to the strengths and weakness of the reports allowed us to compare them on how valuable they were perceived by their respective clients.
Based on all this information, reports from Teams 57 (early track) and 316 (late track) emerged as clear leaders, receiving greater support from all groups of appraisers (experts, clients, crowd, award committee).
Finally, we re-read one more time the super-finalist reports here at the X-Culture's central office, comparing them section by section, and cross-referencing our impressions against the feedback and scores originally provided by the 6 experts (each was originally evaluated by 6 experts), then 10 member of the Award Committee, then the many comments provided by the crowds, and then the feedback provided by the clients.
Below is a summary of the consolidated feedback and a comparative analysis of the key points provided by the representatives of all appraiser groups on the reports by Teams 57 and 316.
- (tie) Formatting, style, clarity: Both reports are professionally formatted and clearly written. However, 57 has some problems with the referencing style. Also, both reports suffer from poor quality of some external-source charts and figures. Overall, the differences are minimal. It's a tie.
- (tie) Executive Summary: 57's choice to use the bullet list makes navigating their executive summary easier, but as far as the content, both reports provide a good executive summary. Both are "just good" (not excellent) though because their executive summaries are more of tables of contents, rather than a summary of key findings. The summaries tell what the report is about, but not what the main recommendations are. Overall, it's a tie.
- (316) Company analysis: 316 provides a somewhat stronger review of the client's strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities. 57 does a decent job, but lacks originality, instead citing already known SWOT as per the company owner's own account. Adding a review of competition makes the 316's company analysis section stronger. Overall, 57 is very strong and better than 99% of the submissions we've seen, but 316 is even stronger.
- (316) Market success criteria: Both are very strong, but 316 used a better, more company-relevant success criteria. 57's choice of ease of doing business, economy, politics is too general. Relevance of climate is not clear. Culture (indulgence) is improperly referenced (it's not Hofstede 2001, it's his later work). 316 uses a stronger and more objective method. The factors are more product-related, other than income and wealth distribution that are a bit too general, not company specific. Both are good, but 316 is slightly better.
- (316) Choice of the market: Both selected good markets and provided very strong supporting arguments overall. Both, however, suffer from providing some irrelevant information in the market analysis section, such as geography, legal system, or basic economic development information. It is not clear how this information is critical for developing a successful market entry strategy. However, both also provide some clearly relevant reviews, such as chocolate consumption (57) or education system overview (316). 316 is a bit stronger due to their clever point system that guided the selection of the best market. 316 is slightly better.
- (316) Market: 57 did a good job, particularly providing a list with details and contacts of suggested distributors. Adding a few tips for distribution contracts was a clever move, too. However, 316 provided a much better review of viable options (licensing, franchising, exporting), explaining pros and cons of each, before selecting the best option. Also 316 provided a deeper analysis of the exporting types and options and a strong analysis of intermediaries, and as 57, 316 also provided leads to real possible qualified individual and company distributors and retailers. Overall 316 was much stronger at this section.
- (tie) Pricing: Both did a good job, though 57 was stronger at cost analysis, whereas 316 impressed with their multi-method price determination. Both teams failed at analyzing competition prices, which is a big minus. There were, in fact, several submissions among other finalists, as well as among non-finalist teams that had even stronger Pricing sections, partly thank to their impressive reviews of the competitor's prices, and also a list of clever pricing techniques that stimulate sales and long-term relationships with the clients.
- (tie) Marketing: Both did a good job, provided many interesting details and leads. 57 was more "predictable" – no obvious problems, but also no outstanding, creative ideas. 316 was a bit more practical, providing a list of fairs and trade shows (with details on the cost) where the client can promote its products was very helpful. Although 316 did a better job, the cost of the 316's campaign was unrealistically high for the client, greatly reducing the value of the marketing strategy to the client. With all factors taken into account, it is a tie.
- (316) Regulations/Funding: The final section was on import regulations for 57 and funding for 316. 57 did a relatively weak job. The section provides good review, but lacks depth. It is still a very good section and much better than the vast majority of other submissions, but 316 did an even more impressive job, provided more details, tips, calculations, and funding leads.
Based on this comparison, both 57 and 316 are clearly extremely strong reports worthy of a praise. However, while 57 received very positive reviews overall, 316 was ranked higher on a number of dimensions, thereby earning the X-Culture 2016-1 the Competition Winner.
Members of all 10 Finalist Teams will received Best Team certificates, while Team 316 will also receive the Competition Winner certificates and a $1000 cash prize. All members of the finalist teams will also be invited to the X-Culture 2016 Symposium that is held of a Royal Caribbean cruise ship this year.
We are also working on interviewing the members of the finalist teams to produce an educational film based on their tips and insights into how to write a winning international business report.

Stanage Edge at approximately 4 miles in length and 458m at its highest point is the largest of the gritstone cliffs that overlook Hathersage, Derbyshire. The area is one of the most popular locations in the Peak District National Park for climbing and walking with hundreds of rock climbing routes to challenge all ranges of ability.
Walkers are drawn to the area to enjoy the varied moorland scenery with stunning views across the surrounding countryside including Hathersage, Castleton and the 'Shivering Mountain', Mam Tor in the west. A walk along the edge is an easy route but the exposed cliff can make conditions difficult throughout the year as it is often battered by wind, rain and regular snowfall in the winter months. There are a number of popular walks including routes along the remains of a Roman Road and towards Redmires Reservoir to the east as well as longer walks such as those including the nearby Longshaw Estate.
Access to the edge was not always as open as it is today, Stanage and the North Lees Estate used to be a private grouse moor with gamekeepers often bribed to allow access to rock climbers in the 19th century. Further evidence of the past at Stanage can be seen with the abandoned millstones scattered around the area, left here since the 19th or early 20th century when the area around Hathersage was a major centre for the quarrying of these stones once used for grinding grain in mills.
The historic North Lees Hall, (image in photography gallery) which is overlooked by Stanage Edge was built in the late 16th century by Robert Smythson, the same Architect responsible for the construction of Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire. The hall is thought to be the model for Thornfield Hall in the famous novel Jane Eyre after Charlotte Bronte stayed in the area in 1845. It is now in the care of the Vivat Trust, a charity set up in 1981 with the aim of rescuing neglected and dilapidated listed historic buildings and is available as holiday accommodation.
The unique moorland scenery at Stanage Edge has been popular in recent years with location hunters as a setting for both TV and Film; it was used as a location in the blockbuster 2005 Pride and Prejudice film with Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen as well as in the BBC's production of Jane Eyre in 2006.

The Chicago White Sox have signed infielder Jose Lopez to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Charlotte, according to the International League's official transaction page. Lopez was released over the weekend by the Cleveland Indians after passing through waivers unclaimed.
Once considered one of the better young second basemen in the game thanks to impressive power from a traditionally weak offensive spot, Lopez has seen his big league career fall apart over the past three years. The 28-year-old was miserable in his last full-time gig with the Mariners in 2009, and his struggles have continued in part-time roles since then.
Over 224 plate appearances with Cleveland this year, Lopez hit .249/.272/.366 with four homers, numbers that are slightly below replacement-level. He's always crushed Triple-A pitching, though, with a .335/.373/.553 line with 52 doubles and 27 homers in 157 career games at that level across a few seasons.

Report on Raung (Indonesia) — July 1982
Scientific Event Alert Network Bulletin, vol. 7, no. 7 (July 1982)
Managing Editor: Lindsay McClelland.
Raung (Indonesia) Eruption cloud on 18 July
Please cite this report as:
Global Volcanism Program, 1982. Report on Raung (Indonesia) (McClelland, L., ed.). Scientific Event Alert Network Bulletin, 7:7. Smithsonian Institution. https://doi.org/10.5479/si.GVP.SEAN198207-263340
8.119°S, 114.056°E; summit elev. 3260 m
All times are local (unless otherwise noted)
Raung erupted 18 July, emitting dark clouds of tephra to 6,000 m. Activity apparently began with a weak earth tremor at about 0300, felt by inhabitants of the tea and coffee plantations on the slopes and in the areas around Kalibaru and Glenmore, at the S foot of the volcano. On 19 July at about 0500 an earthquake was felt, and inhabitants at the foot of Raung reported hearing two consecutive explosions. A seismograph post for Ijen Volcano (8.058°S, 114.242°W) at Pal Tuding, which also monitors Raung, registered vibrations with a maximum amplitude of 3.9 mm.
Two eruptions on 19 July were reported by a Garuda Airlines pilot flying from Jakarta (about 840 km NW of Raung) to Denpasar (on Bali, about 140 km SE) and back. One eruption occurred around 0511 and the other around 1130. The pilot estimated that columns of "smoke" reached 0.6-0.9 km height. Flights have been diverted from near the volcano.
Ash fell lightly all day, leaving a whitish coat on the leaves of tea and coffee plants. An employee of one tea plantation said part of the top leaves were damaged and withered. Light ashfall was reported until 20 July.
Geological Summary. Raung, one of Java's most active volcanoes, is a massive stratovolcano in easternmost Java that was constructed SW of the rim of Ijen caldera. The unvegetated summit is truncated by a dramatic steep-walled, 2-km-wide caldera that has been the site of frequent historical eruptions. A prehistoric collapse of Gunung Gadung on the W flank produced a large debris avalanche that traveled 79 km, reaching nearly to the Indian Ocean. Raung contains several centers constructed along a NE-SW line, with Gunung Suket and Gunung Gadung stratovolcanoes being located to the NE and W, respectively.

BrightStar Care (US) Generates Interest in Master Franchisees Globally
The number of people 65 years of age and older worldwide will double by 2050 and these people want to remain independent in the comfort of their own homes. BrightStar Care, a private duty home care and medical staffing franchise with more than 260 locations in the United States, is primed to fill the international demand for expert, high-quality in-home care. The home care franchise is already seeing success in China, Mexico, Australia, and within the Middle East. They are now planning expansion into Canada and the United Kingdom via Area Developer or Master Franchisees.
"We are off to a great start with our international expansion endeavors," said Shelly Sun, CEO and co-founder of BrightStar Care. "Our goal is to bring BrightStar Care into every country that has a high demand for our services, and with these recent efforts, we are well on the way. Our brand is committed to providing A Higher Standard of Home Care for families, and we have the proven model with a solid infrastructure to help our international franchisees deliver high-quality care in their communities."
BrightStar Care is unique among private duty home care providers in its commitment and ability to deliver the highest quality of care. Each franchise location employs a Registered Nurse Director of Nursing who creates unique, personalized plans of care for each client and oversees professional care teams of well-qualified, experienced caregivers who deliver expert, compassionate and personal care.
Spearheading the international growth plan is franchise development veteran Anthony Padulo, who has successfully expanded brands such as Dunkin' Brands, BP Oil and Aamco into global markets. As Executive Vice President of Domestic and International Development for BrightStar Care, Padulo is focusing efforts on securing deals with Area Developers to own and operate multiple locations at a time, or Master Franchisees, who can sub-franchise after opening two to five of their own locations.
"The ideal candidate for this business opportunity is someone who recognizes that demand, has the team and infrastructure in place to bring the brand in their region, and is committed to making a true difference," Padulo said.
