PRISA engages the youth of the PR world with #powerofyouth breakfast
By David Jenkin
Several speakers – some young up-and-comers and some experienced old hands – gathered to dish out inspiring advice to the fresh faces of the PR industry at JumpStart's #powerofyouth roundtable discussion on Thursday, 9 June, at the HTA School of Culinary Art in Johannesburg.
Jumpstart is a chapter of PRISA created to offer the youth of the PR industry a voice, a space to share their ideas and to grow. It was an added bonus to do so over a gourmet breakfast provided by the HTA School of Culinary Art, which also provided the venue, served up by Afroflame Events. Chairperson and convenor of JumpStart, Megan Cowley, opened proceedings and kept the conversation flowing.
The first speaker of the morning was Robyn de Villiers, chairman and CEO: Africa of Burson-Marsteller Africa, who discussed the results of a recent survey on the youth of Africa.

This application claims priority from a provisional application filed Dec. 13, 2004, under Application Ser. No. 60/635,496 having the same title.
The present invention is directed to woven elastic fabrics which include one or more conductive wires and which are designed to carry systems which monitor selected prescribed body functions.
Elastic fabrics designated to carry monitoring devices are known in the art, as illustrated by U.S. Pat. No. 6,551,252. In this patent, there is only one disclosed fabric, i.e. a warp knitted fabric. The patent states that any of all fabric forming modes may be utilized, however, only one is described.
The primary drawback to a knit fabric, as above referred to, is that the conductive yarns can be controlled to lie in only a single fabric plane.
In fabrics used for carrying and positioning body function monitoring equipment it is most desirable and accordingly an object of the invention that the fabric be elastic yet be sufficiently resilient to allow it to be positioned stationarily in a selected position.
Another object of this invention is the provision of a fabric which can be elongated and retracted while maintaining its pre-set position.
Another object of the invention is an elastic fabric which carries conductive yarns in a protected inner fabric plane but brings the conductive yarns through an outer fabric surface at selected points for engagement with monitoring equipment.
Another object of the invention is the provision of an elastic fabric with a soft fleece-like surface for contact with the body exterior.
Another object of the invention is the provision of an elastic fabric which contains conductive yarns retained in adjustable sinusoidal configurations within longitudinally extending inner cells of the fabric.
Another object of the invention is an elastic fabric which controls the formation of conductive yarn loops on an outer fabric surface at selected longitudinal intervals.
Another object of the invention is an elastic fabric carrying a monitoring system for sensing signals emitted by a body.
Another object of the invention is a carrier system for securing a sensor with an elastic fabric and with conductive wires carried by that system.
The invention is directed to a carrier fabric for a sensing system for monitoring selected body functions. The fabric comprises an elastic multi-ply woven fabric which is stretchable from a retracted position into a plurality of elongated positions. The fabric comprises of a plurality of upper and lower elastic warp yarns which are arranged in vertically spaced positions forming a plurality of longitudinally extending groups of laterally spaced warp yarns. A plurality of picks of inelastic weft yarn are woven into the fabric. First ones of the picks weave with the upper or lower warp yarns forming upper and lower outer surfaces of cells. A plurality of conductive warp yarns are arranged longitudinally of the fabric in controlled sinusoidal configurations in each of the cells. Second ones of the plurality of picks weave with the conductive warp yarns between the upper and lower outer surfaces positioning each of the conductive yarns in controlled sinusoidal configurations. The fabric may be extended longitudinally between 25 and 50% from its retracted position into various elongated positions causing the controlled sinusoidal configurations of the conductive yarns to be altered consistent with the degree of extension.
The elastic warp yarns may comprise a spandex core wrapped with an inelastic textured polyester cover. The core may comprise a spandex monofilament of about 420 denier. The cover may comprise a plurality of multi-filament yarns wrapped about the core.
Conductive yarns, along with the elastic warp yarns, are controlled to form a plurality of breakout points where the conductive yarns extend through, over a selected length and back through an outer surface of the fabric. The conductive yarns individually form connector loops over the selected length of the outer surface. The connecter loops are arranged in transverse rows across the fabric and are formed at selected longitudinal locations.
The fabric is woven in a twelve pick repeating pattern and is formed with anywhere between one and twelve conductive warp yarns. The conductive warp yarns are individually located in the cells.
The conductive warp yarn comprises a wire filament core covered with wrapped textured or non-textured synthetic yarns.
The fabric includes a plurality of elastic edge warp yarns which weave with the second ones of the picks which also weave with the second ones of the picks which also weave with the conductive warp yarns.
The fabric also includes elastic binder warp yarns which are arranged to weave between adjacent of the cells with selected of the picks to longitudinally separate the cells.
The selected picks weaving with the conductive yarns act to bend the conductive yarns in vertical directions creating first ones of the controlled sinusoidal configurations in the conductive yarns which configurations extend generally along a vertical plane and form the controlled sinusoidal configurations.
There are also provided elastic stuffer yarns which extend longitudinally of the fabric, within each of the cells, on opposite sides of each of the conductive yarns. The stuffer yarns act to stabilize the conductive yarns within the cells.
A method of forming a length of multi-ply elastic fabric for use in a sensing system which includes:
(A) Causing a plurality of elastic warp yarns to be elongated along first and second vertically spaced planes in a plurality of laterally spaced positions and weaving selected picks of a plurality of picks with the selected warp yarns to form upper and lower surfaces for a plurality of cells;
(B) Causing a plurality of conductive yarns to extend along the cells between the upper and lower surfaces;
(C) Weaving selected other picks, of the plurality of picks, with the conductive warp yarns shaping the conductive warp yarns into controlled sinusoidal configurations within the cells;
(D) Causing the elongated elastic warp yarns to contract reducing the fabric length, causing the sinusoidal configurations to assume enlarged sinusoidal shapes between the upper and lower surfaces while the upper and lower surfaces formed of the elastic warp yarns maintain the controlled sinusoidal shapes and the conductive warp yarns to remain within the cells.
The method also includes causing the conductive yarns to extend through or breakout through an outer surface at selected longitudinal points along the fabric length to form loops over the outer surface. The breakout points forming connecting points for connecting the conductive yarns with a monitoring system.
A multi-ply carrier fabric for use in a physiological sensing system which includes first, second and third elastic warp yarn groups each interwoven with selected ones of a plurality of picks of inelastic weft yarn through a weave pattern. The formed fabric includes a plurality of longitudinally extending individual cells.
A first warp yarn group is controlled to weave with first ones of the picks forming an upper layer of the cells. A second warp yarn group which has fewer warp yarns than the first warp yarn group is controlled to weave with second ones of the picks forming a lower layer of the cells. A third warp yarn group is arranged between the first and second warp yarn groups and is controlled to weave with each pick of the plurality of picks binding the upper and lower layers together and completing the formation of the cells.
An inelastic conductive yarn is arranged to extend within each cell along a sinusoidal path. Certain warp yarns of the first warp yarn group are textured providing the upper layer with a textured or plush feel.
Selected of the picks of weft yarn weave with the conductive yarns within the cells. These picks act to shape the conductive yarns into first ones of the sinusoidal shapes. At the breakout points. where the conductive yarns form loops above the upper layer of the fabric, these picks simply float through the cells.
A system for monitoring prescribed body functions which comprise a carrier worn over a portion of a torso, which includes a composite elastic fabric stretchable in its longitudinal direction so as to expand and contract in response to body movement and size. The carrier includes at least one conductive and inelastic yarn located between outer upper and lower fabric surfaces which is positioned in sinusoidal configurations longitudinally of the fabric. There is provided a breakout of the conductive yarn through an outer surface where opposed and exposed ends of the conductive yarns are arranged in opposed positions. A monitoring unit, which includes a connector and a sensor, is secured with the outer surface at the breakout, where the connector is united with the exposed ends of the conductive yarns. The fabric functions to maintain the monitoring unit in a desired stationary position to sense signals emitted from the torso and to transmit these sensed signals to a receiver.
The monitoring unit includes a PC board secured adjacent the surface of the fabric. The PC board includes exposed contacts which are adapted to secure with the exposed ends of the conductive yarns. An insulating pad is positioned between the outer surface and the PC board. The monitoring unit also includes a mounting cap which is adapted to releasably support the monitor. The mounting cap includes engaging members which are adapted to secure with the elastic fabric to lock the mounting cap in position adjacent the surface of the elastic fabric.
The construction designed to carry out the invention will hereinafter be described, together with other features thereof.
The invention will be more readily understood from a reading of the following specification and by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part thereof, wherein an example of the invention is shown and wherein:
Systems have now been developed which are capable of sensing and transmitting data from a person's body during activity. The systems are adapted to individually monitor respiration, pulse rate, skin temperature and blood pressure. The instant invention is directed to the structure of a carrier fabric which, when fitted onto a person's body, acts to remain as positioned, is capable of expanding and contracting and possess antenna capable of transmitting collected data. It is also desired that the carrier fabric be as non-intrusive as possible. The invention also includes a carrier which connects with the carrier fabric and individually with the conductive yarns of the fabric. The carrier carries a monitor in engagement with the conductive yarns.
Turning now to
At selected points along the fabric length, conductive yarn 18 is caused to breakout of the inner fabric area as shown at 20 and form loops over the outer surface. Loops 22, as shown in
Fabric 10, as best shown in
A conductive yarn 18 is positioned within each cell 16 to extend longitudinally of the fabric. Conductive yarn 18 preferably comprises a metallic filament of between 25 and 30 gauge, coated with a latex or rubber cover. It is preferred that the metallic filament be about 28 gauge. As best shown in
In order to control the lateral position of the conductive yarns 18 within each cell 16, a pair of stuffer yarns 46 are positioned above and adjacent opposed sides of each conductive yarn 44 as clearly shown in
In order to provide a soft or fluffy feel on the outer surface which is intended to engage with the body, cover yarns 48 are interwoven with picks 1, 5, 7 and 11 of upper surface 12 in a three-up, one-down twill weave or any selected weave pattern.
As is usual when weaving elastic fabrics, the elastic yarns are put under tension and are elongated during formation of the fabric as is shown in
In order for fabric 10 to effectively function as a carrier fabric for a monitoring system, breakouts 20 which are formed at selected locations along the fabric length. A breakout is where conductive yarns are brought through upper surface 12 to extend over a length of fabric before being moved back into their respective cell. The manner in which yarns 18 are controlled at a breakout is shown in
There are provided edge warp yarns 50, best shown in
Yarn Index
The preferred yarns forming the disclosed fabric are:
With fabric 10 is formed to desired length and with loops 22 formed at selected locations, each loop is cut and opposed ends of each conductive yarn 18, are stripped leaving exposed ends 24 as shown in
In the instant arrangement, securing member 58 comprises an upper plate 60 with a plurality of pegs 62 extending from its lower surface. Lower plate 64 is positioned against lower surface 14 of fabric 10 and includes openings 66, which are adapted to receive pegs 62 of upper plate 60. To lock the PC board with surface 12 of the fabric, pegs 62 are passed through the openings in the PC board, through fabric 12 and are secured in openings 66 of lower plate 64. This locks the carrier with fabric 12 with PC board 52 interconnected with conductive yarns 18.
Upper plate 60 includes central opening 68, which is adapted to releasably receive and secure monitor 72 in position to engage with PC board 52. Monitor 72 includes contacts 70 on its lower surface which are positioned to engage with contacts 54 of PC board 52 connecting monitor 72 with conductive yarns 44. Retractable snaps 74 of usual construction are pressure fit with grooves 76 to maintain monitor 72 in position relative PC board 52. Other known releasable engagement structures may be utilized if desired to releasably position the monitor within opening 68.
In use fabric 10, arranged as a circular band, is positioned about a selected body or torso area in extended position with monitor 72 positioned adjacent the body. The extended position allows the elastic warp yarns, which are attempting to contract, to secure the fabric carrying the monitor in a fixed position with the body while still allowing the fabric to expand and contract due to body movement. Monitor 72, which is of known construction and forms no part of the invention, acts to detect signals sent or emitted by the body. These signals are then transmitted to a distant receiver using the conducive yarns as antenna. The monitor may send the signals as received or it may compute the signals into data which are then sent to the distant receiver.
While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been described using specific terms, such description is for illustrative purposes only, and it is to be understood that changes and variations may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the following claims.

Radical Dads
Rapid Reality
(Uninhabitable Mansions)
US: 21 May 2013
UK: 21 May 2013
Radical Dads are the kind of rock band that might, for a second, remind you of some other rock bands you love. Scrappy, angular rock bands. Bands on the edge of chaos but locked into big riffs and sweet melodies. They may remind you of others, but just for that second. Then singer Lindsay Baker howls the word "disintegration" in opener "Mountain Town" and that's what happens to those comparisons, they fall apart. Rapid Reality, the band's new record, is exciting and unpredictable. This is a band with sharp edges, as on "Mountain Town", that can shift to jangling energy ("Pink Flag") before blindsiding you not by getting faster, but by getting bigger and more spacious on the excellent title track, the wandering "Marine Layer", and—perhaps their finest moment here—the expansive opus of "Shackleton". In just their second full length, the band has reached a remarkable height, and sounds much bigger and more varied than its three-member, guitar-and-drums set up. Radical Dads prove you can be scrappy and still be ambitious, and that while some bands are happy to be just another band in Brooklyn, some prefer to sound like a band from anywhere, that can go anywhere, and do virtually anything. Radical Dads is that band, which is why they'll remind you of other important bands, until they prove to you they are their own kind of important.

Easily the fastest social bar I've tried (by like a mile). It's light on options, but the ones it has are well chosen.
It doesn't even require you to disable or enable the share counts. It simply doesn't show zeros. Perfect.
Simple and lean - like it should be. Well done.
Great plugin.
Great, fast, and effective!
Love the speed it brings. Begone the bulkiness
So far I'm very pleased with this plugin. I was looking for a social plugin that I could turn off for custom post types and that would also not slow my site down.
This is just what I have been searching for!
Great plugin!
This imediatelly improved my page speed and it looks great.
Also the best support ever!
I think this is a really good plugin. I wish, however, that it would use built in WordPress UI styles in the admin area.
Been hoping they would release this! Cheers WPB
Great plugin from some of the best WordPress experts out there!

End of May Bank Holiday - West is Best for weather!
This Report for the Scottish Highlands was issued at
21.38hrs Friday 27th May 2016.
SUMMER SOLSTICE SLIDE - With the Solstice falling on Monday 20th June, join us for a mid-summer slide at Glencoe on Saturday 18th June. Cliffhanger Chairlift will run to ease access to remaining snow patches on the upper mountain.
With the wind coming from the Easterly quadrant the brightest overhead and warmest temperatures are expected to be towards the West Highlands for the end of May Bank Holiday weekend. Though there is an outside risk of some heavy convective showers bubbling up just about anywhere, though the majority of places should stay dry.
With just a week to go until the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup at Nevis Range, the SDA are racing at Glencoe this weekend, so a chance to watch some downhill mountain bike action (and still time to enter as there will be on the day entries accepted). Also on two wheels the three day 5 Pistes tour of the Highlands which incorporates the 3 Pistes Cycle Sportive begins on Saturday morning at Glencoe and will finish back at Glencoe on Monday afternoon!
On Sunday the 3 Pistes Sportive itself takes in Glenshee, the Lecht before finishing with a leg burning final ascent to the Daylodge on CairnGorm Mountain at just over 2000ft.
With the SDA race the Glencoe bike tracks are closed to the public this weekend, but both the red and black track are scheduled to be open to the public on Bank Holiday Monday, note the Nevis World Cup downhill closes for World Cup preparation after Sunday. There is also summer tubing on the dry slope at the base through the weekend at Glencoe.
For those not yet willing to put the skis and boards away, there is still snow to be found for those willing to hike. At Glencoe the Main Basin remains complete and has offered up some lovely granular spring snow, the bulk of the Spring Run is still skiable and it?s had the best reviews this past week. Even Radio Gully has seen some action off the East Ridge.
At Nevis the upper Goose also has a decent length snow field remaining, though it?s a slightly longer walk to the snowline.
Due to the UCI World Cup the Nevis Downhill will be closed from Monday 30th, the Red Route will be open till Wednesday.
Weather permitting the Access Chair at Glencoe and Gondola at Nevis are open daily, though the Nevis Range gondola will be only accessible to World Cup ticket holders during the UCI Mountain BIke World Cup.
Summer Solstice Slide
With the Solstice falling on Monday 20th June, it is planned to hold a mid-summer slide at Glencoe on Saturday 18th June, with Sunday as a bad weather alternative. The Cliffhanger Chairlift will run to ease access to remaining snow patches on the upper mountain for around 30-45 minutes mid-morning, probably from around 10.30am but details to be confirmed. Usually plenty of time for a bacon roll first!
Last year there were around 100 skiers and boarders up for some summer turns, lets see if we can beat that number this year!

Mountain Forecast Discussion
With the wind out of an Easterly quadrant though it should be largely dry the best of the brightness is expected to be towards the West Highlands and that?s where the warmest temperatures are likely to be found. Generally light winds through the weekend and Bank Holiday Monday. Near the West Coast in Sunny Spells Munro Level temperatures expected to reach 13°c on Monday.
Over the weekend most areas should stay dry, but there is the potential for some convective showers to bubble up and these could be pretty heavy where they do occur with a risk of thunder. Low cloud coming in of the North Sea will always be a risk further East, inversion conditions may well set up with highest tops above the cloud though.
With Northern Blocking once again taking hold to the North, we will see a low pressure move West across Northern England / Southern Scotland on Tuesday, the exact detail and track of this remains uncertain but there is potential for heavy rainfall to the North of the low centre ( frontal systems will be to the North as the low is moving towards the West) particularly in the East Highlands. The Southern Cairngorms looking like getting the heaviest off it at present. Wind will strengthen either late Monday or overnight in the early part of Tuesday with gusts upwards of 60mph possible at Munro Level.
After the frontal systems clear through warmer air will pump round the low pressure and with a fohn effect kicking we could see Munro Level temperatures nudge the mid teens in the West Highlands on Wednesday and Thursday.
Very early indications show Northern Blocking building a ridge South over Highland Scotland to end the week, so we could be inline for a burst of Summer for the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup at Nevis Range, with the West continuing to enjoy the best conditions with a light Easterly flow prevailing.
Our 5 day summary forecasts will be updated prior to the weekend over the next few weeks, then daily updates will resume for the school holidays. Glencoe and Nevis Range update their reports daily throughout the summer, check for the latest bike track, weather and lift status.
Check the MWIS and Met Office Mountain forecasts for the latest detailed area mountain weather outlooks.

A Better Kind of Medicine?
I may be switching from a M.D. to a D.O. What is the difference?
Answer (Published 6/12/2003)
Updated 5/13/2005
You're not likely to notice a difference between the treatment you'll get from a doctor of osteopathy (D.O.) compared to a medical doctor (M.D.). Both are physicians, and both receive essentially the same training. Osteopathic physicians as well as medical doctors specialize in various fields of medicine such as surgery, dermatology, internal medicine, gastroenterology, etc., and have all the privileges that medical doctors have. They can prescribe drugs, admit patients to hospitals, order all of the same diagnostic tests and medical treatments that MD's use. Doctors of osteopathy make up about five percent of the total U.S. physician population.

Osteopathy traces its history to 1874 when physician Andrew Taylor Still focused on the manipulation of the musculoskeletal system for healing and the promotion of health. He developed manipulative techniques, which are still taught today in schools of osteopathic medicine. However, while all doctors of osteopathy learn the techniques, only 10 percent of them still rely on manipulation as a main method of treatment.
As you may know, I'm a great advocate of osteopathic manipulative technique (OMT), especially of cranial therapy. I've found it extremely useful for a wide range of problems, from headaches to hyperactivity in children, disturbed sleep cycles and asthma. It works through very gentle pressure applied with the hands to the head. The aim is to free up restrictions in the movement of the cranial bones and allow the subtle natural rhythms of the central nervous system to express themselves in a balanced fashion.
Unless you're specifically looking for manipulative therapy, I doubt very much that switching to a D.O will make much difference in your medical care. Don't confuse osteopathy with chiropractic. Although both use manipulation, chiropractors do not get the same medical training and do not have the same medical privileges that osteopaths do. To find a physician in your area trained in osteopathic manipulation look on the American Academy of Osteopathy's Web site (www.academyofosteopathy.org).

A study found that patent settlements between the makers of branded and generic drugs elevate prices across the spectrum of treatments in a therapeutic area. The unavailability of generic copies of a brand-name attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder drug led to greater price increases in other ADHD treatments, researchers concluded. The results suggest that efforts to probe and prohibit patent settlements are justified, researcher Farosat Bokhari said.

Best of Technical Support
I installed MySQL3 and PHP4 with an RPM package. Apache is running well and the MySQL server is running well from the shell. PHP4 also runs with the infophp() function call. But I can't connect to the MySQL server. What's wrong? —Haidar AM, email@example.com
You did not mention it, but I am assuming that the phpinfo script showed that you do have support for MySQL. If this is the case, please check the MySQL table to make sure that the user/password/host, localhost in this case, are correct. —Mario Neto, email@example.com
I've been handed the task of automating various software tasks for a company and a lot of it will entail emulating keyboard input. How can I echo key commands from a script to a program? I've not even been able to find a thorough list of what keys map to what escape sequences. Can anyone help? —Paul, firstname.lastname@example.com
Try the expect command. Linux Journal published an article about it a couple of months ago [That would be the December 2000 issue, Mario—Ed.]. It comes with most distributions and lets you write scripts so you can automate interactive sessions. —Mario Neto, email@example.com
One simple method I use to call some programs from a script is echo "y" | xyz In this case I run xyz, which will, after starting, get a "y" in response to its question. —Usman S. Ansari, firstname.lastname@example.com
For some reason I cannot log in as root at my local Linux box (not remote login). I can log in as any user and then su to root. Second, whenever I have to execute any commands like adduser, I have to specify the absolute path as to where the command lies such as (/usr/sbin/adduser). —Devraj Sen, email@example.com
The file /etc/securetty is used as a list of terminals from which root is allowed to log in. So, it is possible that the entries for your console logins were removed. Simply put them back in, i.e., to allow root to log in on the first console you should have a line consisting of:
The reason why your PATH isn't set up properly when you use su is because it isn't being treated as a login shell. So, none of the login files that pertain to root are being read. To have them read, type su - instead. —Andy Bradford, email@example.com
As far as I can tell, most if not all, Red Hat releases have been broken in so far as /sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin has never been in root's path for various reasons. The quick way to fix that is to simply add it to the PATH in /etc/profile. As you cannot log in as root, this is not usual behavior. You should make sure root has a valid shell, and that /etc/securetty still contains "ttyx" lines. For more clues, type tail -f /var/log/messages and look at the output when you try to log in as root from another console. —Marc Merlin, email@example.com
What is the command for synchronizing/updating the shadow file after I create a user account by manually editing the password file? Also, how do I remove the suid bit from any process? —Kedar, email@example.com
pwconv is the command for synchronizing/updating the shadow file after creating a user account. —Usman S. Ansari, firstname.lastname@example.com
To remove the suid bit use chmod -s filename. —Marc Merlin, email@example.com
To protect against accidentally mangling /etc/passwd if someone runs a utility that touches the file at the same time you're editing it, use vipw any time you edit /etc/passwd (it uses your chosen editor, not necessarily vi. —Don Marti, email@example.com
I have written a basic Perl program that reads a list of URLs from a file, goes to the URL, looks for some information and then writes that information to another file. It also writes entries to a log file and stdout. I am using the LWP::Simple module. I note the following strange behavior: 1) the log file is not written to immediately—the OS seems to be caching write requests; and 2) the program seems to die after 1-2 hours of perfectly normal operation, but restarting it works fine. —Dave Barter, email@example.com
Typing $| = 1 at the beginning of your script will force your Perl program to do a flush after every print or write (see man perlvar). As for why your program is dying, try running top at the same time to see if it's hogging all your memory. If so, rewrite it to forget about pages after it's done with them. If you run your program unattended, you should be using LWP::RobotUA, to respect webmasters' wishes about what parts of their sites are open to robots. —Don Marti, firstname.lastname@example.com

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Where exactly would FC Dallas be right now without Blas Perez? That's a scenario FCD head coach Schellas Hyndman and his entire roster would rather not envision. That's because not only has the veteran forward known as "Super Raton" been every bit as good as advertised, if not even better, as he current leads Dallas with three goals and three assists, but his impact in the locker room has been equally huge.
One player in particular he has had a huge impact on is 19-year-old Colombian forward/midfielder Fabian Castillo. "He's a really smart player that makes a difference in everything he does. He moves differently. I haven't scored a goal but I'm learning the different moves he makes on the field," Castillo said. "So I'm just going to keep learning his moves and it's going to benefit me in the future."
Fellow striker Scott Sealy has plenty of MLS experience and has played alongside his fair share of quality forwards, but even he admits there is one thing in particular about Perez that has especially impressed him during their short time as teammates with FCD.
"I think for me the most impressive thing is his work rate. He works very hard when he doesn't have the ball and it's infectious. Other guys see it and they feed off of it. It's something that lifts the team. The game against Montreal where he was able to score that goal, that was really the point that the game turned and the energy started to flow. His work rate for me is the biggest thing. Everyone can see his qualities as a striker in terms of the finishing and stuff like that but it's the stuff that people don't expect a striker to do, those are the things that he does pretty well and I think it's helped the team a lot," Sealy said.
And while it might sound cliché, the veteran forward from Trinidad and Tobago has no doubt that the Panamanian-born forward is one of those rare players who possesses that unique ability to make every player around him even better.
"I think on a team where your forward is one of your hardest-working guys, it makes everyone else try to give that extra effort," Sealy said. "I think the games we've won and done very well in are the ones he's kind of led from the front and everyone else followed."

70s Rock Bands: When It Was Cool To Look Homeless
FOR some reason, it became a thing of pride for 1970s rock musicians to look as homeless and ungroomed as humanely possible. We may have chided the '90s grunge bands for wallowing in filth, but that was nothing compared to the unwashed hordes of unkempt '70s rock bands.

Lookalikes: Manchester United Fan Mick Hucknall Is Charlie Drake
WATCHING Manchester United's Premier League match with (there's only one 'f' in) Fulham, Anorak was struck by a figure in the crowd. Seated alongside Sir Alex Ferguson was flame-haired crooner Mick Hucknall. We couldn't help but notice that Hucknall looks a lot like the late comedian Charlie Drake. His catchphrase was 'Hello, my darlings'. It's known that Hucknall has a way with the women, too. Can they be related?

You'll Blow Your Mind Out In A Car: The Hellish Rolling Stone Mag Beatles Tribute Of 1977 (Video)

The show begins with Neeley (bigger than Jesus?) singing about himself getting out of bed, dragging a comb across his head, looking up, realising he was late…

WHEN Pharrell Williams stepped out at the Grammies in a big hat, the fashion world cooed and ahed. America's Headwear Association named Williams Hat Person of the Year. (Sadly, Williams has not been inducted into the 2014 Headwear Hall of Fame – this year's honours go to Sophia Loren, Diane Keaton, Queen Elizabeth II, Bruno Mars, Spike Lee and Elton John. But next year, he is surely a shoo-in for the cloche corridor.)

50 Years Ago, The Beatles Landed at JFK: 10 Great American Beatles Rip Offs
OF course, The Fab Four's time in America is very well documented. No-one needs to know more about the whole Bigger Than Jesus thing and George Harrison's 'spotty youths' comment when he visited the hippies on the West Coast.
However, less well documented are the mop-top knock-offs that The Beatles created. Garage bands and frat beat groups sprung up all over America after the mop tops played Ed Sullivan.
So, here's 10 of the best American Beatle Bands or Fab Four rip-off records… and by the way, being a Beatle rip-off band is no bad thing at all! Feel free to chime in with your own!
1. The Byrds
The Byrds hit the jackpot when they took Dylan's folk music and turned it into a Beatle beat. Perfect for the US market – homegrown lads (not like those British Invasion swine!) making Dylan's nasal drawl more palatable. 'Feel A Whole Lot Better' is the choice here, but in fairness, it could've been picked from two dozen songs!

Childhood's End: The Five Most Terrifying Movies Made From A Child's Perspective
ALFRED Hitchcock once remarked that every person understands fear, because everyone was once a child. "After all," he declared, "weren't we all afraid as children?".
According to the authors of Monsters under the Bed and Other Childhood Fears (Random House; 1993, page 1), "childhood is a time of many fears" and children between the ages of six and twelve "experience an average of seven different fears."

12 Stupendous Movie Tagline Fails
THEY had one job. Just write a single sentence about a movie. It's not quantum physics. After millions of dollars spent and many months of filming and editing, it comes down to the humble tagline writer to simply scrawl a few words together. Alas, this task is often too much to bear, and a movie poster is forever besmirched by a woefully inadequate blurb which undercuts all the hard work. Perhaps it's not so easy to condense an entire film into a few words; whatever the case, here are a few examples where tag lines fail.

Three Hats For Lisa: Swinging London And Sid James Gives The Greatest Musical Performance In Cinema History
IS this the greatest musical performance in cinema history?
Joe Brown, French-born Sophie Hardy (who played the eponymous Lisa Milan), Sid James, Una Stubbs and Dave Nelson hit the big screen – in colour – with the 1964 release of Three Hats For Lisa.
YouTuber RetrunerMan reveals the plot:
It's a Swinging London romp as Joe (Johnnie) tties to help Lisa Milan, played by Sophie Hardy, to find three typically British hats for her collection. Probably not too difficult, only she wants to steal them instead of buy them. Oh, and one is a coppers helmet!

"They're Dead. They're All Messed Up" – How George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead Recreates the Unrest of 1968
THE AMC original TV series Mad Men (2007 – ) set its latest season against a disquieting historical backdrop: the turbulent events of the year 1968.
Specifically, Matthew Weiner's award-winning period drama book-ended the season with allusions to two classic genre films from that year: Franklin Schaffner's Planet of the Apes and Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby.
Both are excellent selections that showcase, respectively, global and spiritual apocalypse.
Yet there is another film — one released on October 1st, 1968 — that also represents perfectly the turmoil of America during that season: George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead.
Today — due in large part to another AMC series, The Walking Dead (2010 – ), which is now airing the final portion of its fourth season — the zombie is arguably more popular a monster than ever before in genre history. Since Night of the Living Dead is its acknowledged spiritual and historical antecedent, the original film is thus eminently worthy of a re-watch in 2014.

Top 10 Joe Meek Records On The Anniversary Of His Death
TODAY marks the anniversary of Joe Meek's death. The first British independent record label, genius producer and thorough crackpot departed this Earth on 3rd February after committing suicide after murdering his landlady at his home studio on Holloway Road.
And ever a fan of the occult, it only seems right to contact Meek on the date of his death, rather than birth. Meek, who 'contacted' Buddy Holly beyond the grave and got a hit out of it, was a studio wizard, as avant garde with his approach to pop music as Aphex Twin was in the '90s.

On This Day In Photos: February 3 1959 – Buddy Holly Dies On The Winter Dance Party Tour
ON This Day – February 3 1959: Charles Hardin Holley – aka Buddy Holly – 22, Jiles P Richardson – aka the Big Bopper – 28, and Richard Valenzuela – aka Ritchie Valens – 17, were killed when their single-engined Beechcraft Bonanza planed crashed shortly take-off from Clear Lake, Iowa.
Pilot Roger Peterson, 21, also lost his life.
The triumvirate's last show has been at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, where their memory lives on:
Holly had only recent gone solo, breaking up with the Crickets.
On February 1 1959, the stars played Green Bay, WI, Ballroom.
They had been a sensation. Buddy Holly and the Crickets made an appearance on the Arthur Murray Dance Party on December 29, 1957. It was unusual to see a band like the Crickets performing on the show.
"Now, if you haven't heard of these young men, then you must be the wrong age because they're rock and roll specialists. Now, no matter what you think about rock and roll, I think you have to keep a nice open mind about what the young people go for. Otherwise the youngsters won't feel that you understand them. Now, if we're ready for our rock and roll specialists, we have…Buddy Holly and the Crickets!"

Intercontinental Dance Floor Dives: Your Euro Disco Dynamite Primer
WHEN disco hit its stride in the mid to late Seventies, it transcended language and boundaries. Perhaps, the secret of its success was that the criterion was so damn simple: Can you dance to it? If the answer was "yes", chances are, you have a disco hit on your hands.
While ABBA and The Bee-Gees propelled the genre into the stratosphere, there were plenty of other good (and not-so-good) disco tracks being churned out across Europe that deserve to be resurrected. Here are 9 interesting, odd, and awesome gems rescued from obscurity. Enjoy.
Dschingis Khan – "Dschinghis Khan" (1979) Germany
I wonder what the Mongol overlord would have said if he knew he'd one day be the subject of a peppy German disco track. I can't predict his exact words, but I'm sure it would have ended with a beheading or evisceration of some sort. I suppose one day they'll be dancing to songs about Pol Pot and Idi Amin.
Albert's Negrita – "That's The Ball" (1976) Germany
I think there's something wrong with me. I actually really, really like this. The song makes no sense whatsoever, it's alarmingly repetitive, and involves no musical talent or skill whatsoever. Maybe I've just listened to one too many disco songs, or maybe I'm coming down with a bad fever – whatever the reason, I dig this track. I don't know a thing about it, except that it sounds like it comes from a German porno. And if it wasn't, it should have.
Penny McLean – "Lady Bump" (1975) Austria
Was this a prelude to Fergie's humps, her lovely lady lumps? In typical disco fashion, the lyrics are wonderfully bad:
They call me lady bump lady bump
It's no lie – aaaaaaaah
Lady bump, lady bump –
Just the music takes me high.
Actually, the "aaaaaah" should read "AHHHHHH!!!!!!" – Penny really lays a eardrum shattering screech to that bit.
Svenne & Lotta – "Funky Feet" (1976) Sweden
Deciding it sounded too much like "Dancing Queen", ABBA opted to include this on their album, sending it to fellow Swedes, Svenne & Lotta, instead. This is truly a piece of disco dynamite, but one can't help but wonder what Frida and Agnetha could have done with it. Their vocals would have sent this track to another dimension of disco heaven.
The Duskeys – "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow" (1982) Ireland
I can't help it. This just makes me want to put on a tight gold lame leisure suit, do a line of cocaine, and hit the discothèque.
Oh, wait. This is Irish disco. Make that – drink a pint of ale then hit the discothèque… then do a line of cocaine. (Glad we cleared that up.)
Sophie & Magaly – "Papa Penguin" (1980) France
"I Am The Walrus" is easily one of the most complex songs ever recorded, and "Papa Penguin" is easily one of the simplest. I guess you could say they are the Walrus and Penguin are Polar opposites……. Get it? Polar? (insert crickets chirping)
My apologies.
Chilly – "For Your Love" (1978) Germany
Who would have guessed a Yardbird classic would translate so well to disco? I understand this may be utterly offensive to rock purists; but, if you even have a passing appreciation for disco, you'll have to agree this is solid gold. I would admit that I enjoy it more than the original, but I like to avoid being verbally assaulted whenever possible.
Raffaella Carra – "Pedro" (1980) Italy
The song itself is nothing particularly special; however, the male dancer outfits in this music video are special indeed. And by "special" I mean "hilariously awful". They look like flamboyantly gay superhero private detectives who work in Willy Wonka's factory. If that description makes no sense, have a look. All will become clear.
Jumbo – "City Girls" (1977) Germany
I included this song simply because the album cover is one of the greatest artistic creations ever conceived. Before you leave this article, I recommend you stare at this cover for a minimum of ten minutes, and let its awesomeness wash over you. When it changes your life forever, don't forget to leave a comment at the bottom of this post. I don't ask for much – your eternal gratitude is more than enough.

I doubled the recipe and served it for breakfast for the two of us. I used fresh pineapple, and frozen blueberries. I also used plain low-fat yogurt, and added two servings of vanilla hemp protein powder. As the pineapple was fresh, I didn't have juice, so I added some orange juice instead. It was delicious (and perfectly sweet), and will definitely become a staple in our house!
My son suggested I "make him a pineapple smoothie for him" (nice, huh?) since we had pineapple in the fridge. I had the Food.com web site open on my phone's browser so I just typed it in. He saw this one and said "That one sounds good!" Threw it together with some blueberry yogurt in the nutribullet and he was a happy kid! The only down side is the pineapple fibers and blueberry skins get caught on the blades. But my boy went to school with a nutritious drink so I'm good. Next time I'll add a little protein powder.
Great drink, although I used unsweetened yogurt with maple. 5 Stars!
I followed this recipe just as it was written, with the exception of the yoghurt. I used plain low fat yoghurt. It tasted delicious! Perfect for when you are craving something sweet, & a better alternative to ice cream. Great, refreshing drink! Will be making this for my family as well.
I doubled the recipe because I was making it for the whole family to go with dinner last night. I had to use flavored yogurt and didn't have enough pineapple juice from the can. So I don't think it weathered my substitutions well, but I would love to try it just as written. My toddlers loved it.
I needed to use up pineapples and blueberries from the freezer and this was perfect for breakfast. I used my Hawaiian pineapples from our backyard that I had frozen, so it was wonderful. Thanks for posting this and reminding me how good a smoothie can be!
Used fresh blueberries and canned crushed pineapple. You get just a hint of the vanilla from the yogurt. Very tasty breakfast treat for us. It was a little too thick for me so I added a splash of milk and some ice cubes. It really is a beautiful color!
I used fresh pineapple and fresh blueberries and skipped the pineapple juice. I mixed it up with my hand mixer which meant the blueberries didn't get blended as well as they probably would have in a standard mixer. I think it affected the color, but I doubt it did the taste. It was a nice combination of flavors. A tad bit tart for me, but that's probably because I miss read the recipe and used plain instead of vanilla yogurt. Oops! It was still good though. Thanks for sharing, Bev! :)
I have had this recipe saved for a while, and while looking for a way to use some frozen blueberries, I remembered it. I halved the recipe, and used frozen blueberries. My store only had custard style vanilla yogurt, but I think that helped to make it a bit thicker. Loved it, and wished I had made the whole batch. Thanks for sharing!!!
I bought 10 pounds of blueberries this morning, so I've been looking for lots of delicious recipes for using them up. This smoothie is incredibly delicious, healthy and super quick! And the color is just gorgeous. One of my boys is crazy for blueberries, so he and I split this between the 2 of us. Thanks Bev!

Our last night in Amsterrdam, we visited Moeders as it was recommend in Fodors and were not disappointed. Even though we did not have a reservation, the waitress made a place for us inside the cozy, homey restaurant on the busy Rozengracht street. All the menu items are prepared as if you were in your Dutch Mothers kitchen, I had the barbecue ribs which were to die for, my husband had the green pea soup which I tried then I had to order one for me it was so delicious....do not miss it! My husband also had the potato, sausage and sour krout smash which he said was excellent. The beer was cold and the service was perfect. A must if you spend anytime in Amsterdam!
