"Rida, rida ranka"
Rida, rida ranka
Hästen heter Blanka.
Vart ska vi rida?
Rida sta och fria
Till en liten piga.
Vad ska hon heta?
Jungfru Margareta
Den tjocka och feta.
När vi kom till hennes gård
Så var där ingen hemma,
Bara en gammal gumma
Lärde sin dotter spinna.
Ride, ride on my knee
The horse's name is Blanka.
Where are we riding?
Riding away to woo
A little girl.
What will be her name?
Maiden Margareta
The fat and chubby.
When we came to her house
No one was at home
But an old woman
Who taught her daughter to spin.
"Spinn, spinn, dotter min,
I morgon kommer friarn din."
Dottern spann och tåren rann
Men aldrig kom den friarn fram
Förrn till andra året
Med gullband i håret.
"Spin, spin, my daughter,
Tomorrow your suitor will come."
The daughter spun and the tear ran
But the suitor never came
Until the year after
With golden ribbons in his hair.

I like that a lot--am enjoying your blog.
My grandmother sang this too. She was from Kalmar, Bergholm, on the island of Oland. I can feel her warm embrace as she bounced me on her lap in her home in Yonkers, NY. After she died it took me many years, and my own children, to discover how much I missed that song. Now that my kids are teens, they won't be interested, but my pre-k'ers and someday grandkids (not too soon, please) I found two melodies on the net (I am sure there are many more). One didn't fit the "proper" lyrics; the other did, but provided no lyrics. This is the one I have been looking for. Thank you, Elinor
I was looking for this because my father, who was fluent in norwegian sang this while he rocked us on his knee in the 1950s and his own father had been born in the u.s. two years after his parents emigrated. Does anyone know if there is a norwegian version of this??
I like Liz would be interested in knowing of a Norwegian version!
My grandparents were Norwegian and said it to my father who then said it to me and I then said it to my kids-- and now I'm a Grandma myself and my son attenpts to say it to his baby but i fear it loses a little of the correct pronunciastion and possibly some of the verses with each generation!! In fact when my Grandma was still alive and heard me say to my baby once she said "Hmmmm I've never quite heard it said THAT WAY BEFORE!!!" And I thought I was saying it as my father said to me so maybe he already had lost some of the correctness in one generation! I wish i would have had her write it down for me while she was still living--we just don't always think of thoise things at the time! I'd like to preserve the Norwegian tradition of saying that to our babies and passing it down but it would be nice to get it a litte more correct than I fear we are now saying it!
The way my daddy said it me as it SOUNDED to my ears was:
(bouncing baby on lap):
Rida Rida Runka
To Mallen hus
Vading en yumma
Litten Katen pus
Merlin maller
Tapen galler
Heuna Sparkite yenga
And (baby's name) tissetysenga!
(and here you lean baby way back upside down which they always love!)
I DID have presence of mind to ask what does it MEAN in English so maybe the English traslation will help since I'm sure the above looks nothing like any Norwegian you've ever seen!
It means in English:
Ride Ride Runka (Runka being the name of the horse)
To the millers house
Nobody home but
A little pussy cat!
Millers milling
Roosters crowing
Hen is scratching in the field
And [baby] wets all over the place!!!
Anyway--if you happen to be familiar with this rhyme -I'd appreciate knowing how its really said!
It seems that the Swedish version whil the same "idea" and title, has completely different verses than the Norwegian--the one my father said to us seems to have different versesbut like many nursery rhymes in the world perhaps there are just dozens of versions!
I found the song in "World Charts Presents the Scandinavian Songbook for Piano and Accordian",1975,Edwin H. Morris & Co., A Division of MPL Communictions, pp.76-77, 3 vs. Not like I remember, except the horse's name was Blanka. Imagine each mormor and farmor had her own version!

My Grandmother sang these to me as well. She had some other ones that I can't find. One goes sp? "ocka ta vaca ta lindo, the chindo vash the vindow, the vindow broke the chindo got soak, so ocka ta vaca ta lindo." (at that point you were thrown in the air)
it is about washing the window and the window breaking and the person got soaked, oh well...
Another went, "as I was going up stindem stairn I met a high giggly bone bairn carrin off my fin den fairn, I said I'd get my gish migairn an teach that high giggly bone bairn for carrin off my fin den fairn" met a man carrying off my fiance, I said I'g get my gun and stop that man from carrying off my fiance... These she sang as she bounced us on her knee. firstname.lastname@example.com
anyone hear of these? I'm sure the spelling is nowhere near to the real words.....

When my nephew was little I built him a rocking horse. On the halter, i wrote, "Rida, rida, runka ..."
Later on I was emailing to a lady professor in the University of Uppasala, Sweden. I told her about the horse and what I had written on the halter.
This fine lady quickly wrote me back saying, Do not spell runka with a 'u'. It is "ranka" (the 'a' is a umlaut with two dots above it.)
"Runka" is a vulger term for masturbation. It means to shake back and forth.
Needless to say, I sat at my confuser quite red faced. The horse still has it spelled wrong but it is a good conversation piece.

Blanka was the queen of Sweden and Margareta the (baby) princess of Denmark. The song's about how happy Blanka is for wedding his son.
Albert Edelfelt has made a painting of the scene

I too was looking for the Norwegian--or Swedish version or a mix--or perhaps even A "Scandahoovienglish"
We too were bounced on grandma and grandpa's lap---This is the version we sang as kids --as we remember it!
Rida Rida Ranka
Hasta buten Blanka
Vasga-da rida
Rida plink pleada
Vesa vasa hemma
--and a wee wee wee all the way home!
So needless to say after just 3 generations the song has been through quite the telephone game! I am thankful to the Internet to resurect the right words--now to perhaps endure another 3 generations or more:)

Thank you all for your posts. My grandfather passed away in 1995 and I have been trying to find this for a long time to share with my children. What great memories of bouncing on his knee and listening to him singing to each of us.

Hmmm, you probably do not want to use "Runka" in a Swedish context (it means "M*sturbate").
In the Swedish version it's definitely "Ranka" and nothing else... at least modern Swedish version (old meaning of runka can also be shake, but... well... it just do not work in polite circumstances).
I am not at all sure about Norwegian though, we (Swedes and Norwegians) seems to have completely opposite meanings for the same words.
Here's a link to the Norwegian (bokmål) version: http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ride_ride_ranke

A leading Australian manufacturer of bird seed products has installed SolarMax grid-connected solar inverters at their rooftop solar PV system in Queanbeyan, New South Wales.
Supplied through SolarMax's installation partner, Ygrene Energy, the order included four 15kW 15MT2 and one 10kW 10MT2 grid connected inverters for a 70kW rooftop solar PV system comprising of 230 x 305kW Yingli Solar solar photovoltaic panels.
Designed to generate over 105MWh of solar power annually, the solar PV system is expected to save Bird Munchies up to $25,000 a year in energy bills as well as reduce its reliance on grid electricity, lower their carbon footprint by 104 tonnes annually, and deliver an internal rate of return (IRR) of 27 percent per annum.
According to Bird Munchies Director Alan Irvine, as an Australian manufacturer, they are constantly faced with pressures to produce more competitively priced products. The solar installation will now help them reduce their operating overheads and allow these savings to be passed on to the customers. The opportunity to reduce their environmental footprint is also a major advantage.
Tim Davaris, Managing Director, Ygrene Energy said that Bird Munchies was one of the many manufacturing facilities in Queanbeyan to install a solar photovoltaic system after seeing the cost advantages offered by solar power.
Bird Munchies will rely on SolarMax's remote monitoring platform and utilise MaxWeb to access the SolarMax WebPortal over the internet. This monitoring solution provides a real-time display of performance data such as input and output voltages, input and output currents, frequency, device temperature and yield, allowing the company to keep an eye on the system's overall performance.
Gavin Merchant, Key Account Manager for SolarMax Australia adds that Ygrene Energy has been instrumental in promoting the quality offered by SolarMax's Swiss-made inverters.
Key benefits of SolarMax's MT series inverters include simple installation, high reliability and long-term durability; maximum efficiency of up to 98 percent; suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations; meeting safety requirements as per AS/NZS 5033:2012 standards (IEC 62109-1/-2) as well as AS 4777.2 and AS 4777.3 standards; and accredited by the Clean Energy Council (CEC).
All SolarMax string inverters come with a five-year standard warranty, extendable up to 25 years.

I'm getting everything imported by WP Robot and it has been working fine for weeks. I installed a "Super Adsense" wordpress theme earlier for another domain I had and now my other site (both hosted by HostG%tor) is freaking out! Everything works perfectly in the back office...any suggestions? I'm sure it (probably I) just messed with the code somewhere... Thanks

The idea — blending the bitter kick of an energy drink with the sweetness of a candy-coated medallion — seemed too obvious to serial entrepreneur Brian Street.
He was convinced similar products were already available, but just to be sure he spent months researching the concept. Street found nothing comparable.
Still, it took more than a year, 30 rounds of testing, and the creation of special manufacturing equipment before his brainchild was born in the form of Energems.
The investment is beginning to pay off, said Street. Since its debut six months ago, the dietary supplement has garnered more than $1 million in sales and is already in 15,000 stores nationwide, including Walgreens, Circle Ks, and 7-Elevens. It's offered in three flavors: chocolate, mint chocolate and peanut butter.
By the end of the year, Street expects Energems to be in more than 60,000 stores and to log more than $10 million in sales. He predicts that in five years, Energems will be a billion-dollar enterprise.
"It's going to be such a blockbuster," said Street.
Davie resident Angela Ramirez agrees. She and her family own seven gas stations in Broward County and have been selling Energems since early this year.
The supplement, which sells for $3.29 per box, has been selling especially well in their Weston and Fort Lauderdale locations, said Ramirez. Among all the family's stores, the most popular flavor is chocolate.

Oh no, he didn't.
Yes he did. At 14:34 of the second quarter of the Utah-Oregon NCAA football game on Saturday night, Utah wide receiver Kaelin Clay beat the coverage for a big time touchdown. Clay released the ball in celebration. He rejoiced. His team celebrated.
Then Oregon picked up the ball. And scored a touchdown.
What? Two touchdowns on one play?
Yep, because Clay had dropped the ball well short of the goal line — a fumble. There was a period of time in which both teams were celebrating, 100 yards apart. Fans and announcers tried to figure out what had happened.
Both Utah and Oregon think they scored a TD 100 yards apart.
— David Lombardi (@LombardiESPN) November 9, 2014
The replays showed quite clearly what a huge blunder Clay made.
As brutal as it gets: Utah's Kaelin Clay clearly drops ball before scoring, Oregon picks it up and runs it back. https://t.co/vR9JUNnVkj

OUCH! Touchdown Oregon. Utah would have gone up 14-0 on the No. 5 Ducks with the stunning play. Instead it was tied 7-7, and a devastated Utah ended up getting blown out 51-27.
Many people immediately thought of DeShawn Jackson, who did this — more than once — during his time with the NFL's Eagles…
Turns out the similarities are closer then we thought:
Fun fact: Utah WR Kaelin Clay, who dropped ball before scoring, went to same high school as DeSean Jackson, who's done it multiple times.

File this under TMI: Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, the "Jersey Shore" party girl turned domesticated mom, has revealed while promoting her new book that she had so much unprotected sex that she thought she was infertile.
Polizzi's new tell-all, "Baby Bumps: From Party Girl to Proud Mama, and All the Messy Milestones Along the Way," chronicles her life transformation and comes out Tuesday, Dec. 31. According to US Weekly, she opens up about getting pregnant with now-fiance Jionni LaValle. "I'd never been pregnant before. I thought I was infertile," she writes. "We had a lot of unprotected sex. Like, a lot."
She also discusses how her feelings toward LaValle, a former one night stand at the "Jersey Shore" house in Seaside Heights, N.J., changed after their first hookup. "Not just a smash buddy. It's more than that," she writes. "Not just a boyfriend. He's the sauce to my meatball. I simply couldn't do better. Jionni was tan, sexy, good in the sack, and hysterical. I missed him when we were apart for a day. I craved him."
Other anecdotes you can find in the book include a delightful story about breast milk leakage, drinking while breastfeeding ("My milk was so full of alcohol, I could have used it to start a bonfire in the yard. I could have cleaned the toilet with it," the Daily Mail recounts), and making out with BFF and "Snooki and JWOWW" costar Jenni "JWOWW" Farley.

Puppy Bladder Issues After Getting Spayed
by Mike
Our 23 week old Golden Doodle puppy went to get spayed last week and she has had blood in her urine ever since and looses control of her bladder and when she is outside. She is continuously trying to pee.
We have received pills from our vet for a bladder infection but could this be something more serious?
Vet Suggestion Regarding Puppy Bladder Issues After Getting Spayed
Hopefully, all you are dealing with is a dog bladder infection, and it clears up quickly with appropriate antibiotic treatment. If this is what happens, I don't think you have any reason for concern.
However, other conditions can cause the symptoms that you describe. These include bladder stones, developmental abnormalities of the urinary tract, kidney infections, and yes, potentially a surgical complication (the bladder lies right next to the uterus that was removed during the spay).
If your dog does not quickly return to normal with the antibiotic therapy (improvement should be noticeable within just a day or two), let your veterinarian know. If you feel that he or she is not responsive to your concerns, get a second opinion.
Good luck,
Jennifer Coates, DVM

Heart Click
She can hear the clicking. Maybe it's not a clicking but more of a hum of the escalator behind her. She's staring at the text but not really seeing it. Not yet. A little girl and a little boy with their father squeal and laugh at something as they pass her by in a blur. A woman on her phone comments about the price of coffee. A man holds the hand of his boyfriend and complains about the cold. She can hear their footsteps hitting the tile, hitting the escalator. Hitting the pavement. A car honks distantly from above and she thinks that if she could just hold her breath a little longer she might hear the sound pigeons make when they are all startled to take off at once.
The screen is the eye of Mordor but she doesn't have a ring and Sam's given up on Frodo and she can't breathe. She can't.
Back from doctors, it read. Then, It's cancer. –Mom.
She always signed her texts. It didn't matter how many times she'd patiently sit her down with the phone and show her that each one came with her name at the very top, see? There was no need to sign it. She knew who they were from.
A little bar beneath the words urged her to type text here. A cursor blinked.
The world idly kept on turning but she's still. She's so still. Everything is still.
The word is the taste of ashtrays in her mouth and in her mind.
She can hear the clicking. Maybe it's not a clicking but more of the wail of a little girl alone in the subway with her mother in her heart.comments

SSRIs do not really mask any emotions. Serotonin, and decreased levels of it, has been found to be one of the factors associated with people developing full blown major depressive disorder as well as other conditions. SSRIs allow for increased levels of serotonin in the brain, basically putting the levels back to levels of normal functioning people. So they don't mask the emotions, they minimize the effects of negative emotions that people have.
Instead of feeling completely worthless or guilty as a result of something negative happening to them or performing inadequately (which they will typically ruminate about further worsening the effect of the event), they have a better chance to think rationally about the circumstance and overcome the difficulties. This allows them to think more clearly and allows for more effective therapy. Therapy being the key factor because just taking the medications without therapy is pretty worthless.

To press down and release a button on a pointing device in order to select an item on a display screen or activate a command or function
That is a click and what is a click through?
A click through is coming through to something with a click. Say for instance you see a link and you want to know more. So, you click on that link and open it for more information. That is a click through.
A click through rate (CTR) is the average number of click-through per hundred ad impressions, expressed as a percentage. The CTR is used for calculating the efficiency of an advertising campaign on a website.
For example if an advertisement is shown 100 times (100 impressions) and the advertisement has been clicked 5 times then the calculation would be as below
So, the CTR for the example would be 5% (five percentage).
Although calculating the CTR is very easy, there are a few considerations to keep in mind while calculating the Click through rate. They are
- CTR is an indicator of the number of clicks on the website. If there is a person who clicks the advertisement more than a few times, it will show a skewed data. This is because the number of impressions would remain to be one and the number of clicks would exceed one and you will see the CTR at more than a 100%
- Depending on the type of advertisement the CTR will differ
- The CTR does not calculate the revenue, it is just an indicator of how well a campaign is performing
CTR is a definitive indication on your websites performance on advertisements and a wonderful number to show to advertisers to get more ad revenues. In the posts to come we will look at ways and means to increase the CTR for a website. Ensure you be back for more.

You can view the documentation below, or browse our GitHub Repository, where you can contribute to FAQ Documents. For complete documentation, download the ClamAV Manual.
General | Installing ClamAV | Upgrading ClamAV | Which Version of ClamAV should I use? | How do I ignore/whitelist a ClamAV signature? | How to Report A Bug | ClamAV Community Threat Tracking System | Safebrowsing | Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUA) | Miscellaneous FAQ | ClamAV Virus Database FAQ | Mailing Lists FAQ | Troubleshooting FAQ | Win32 FAQ | End of Life Policy (EOL) | Uninstalling ClamAV | ClamAV Overview

Additional | How to Speed Up ClamWin | Microsoft Authenticode Signature Verification
You are encouraged to put some bandwidth limit on your ClamAV mirror vhost.
Many mirror sysadmins running the Apache HTTP Server find the Bandwidth Mod useful for this purpose.
Here is an example config that will do the following:
<IfModule mod_bw> BandWidthModule On ForceBandWidthModule On LargeFileLimit .cvd 1 40000 LargeFileLimit .cdiff 1 400000 MaxConnection all 50 MinBandwidth all 20000 </IfModule>
Note You can also use mod_cband to limit the download-speed. The Source is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cband/ Just run
./configure make make install
Add the module to your apache-config by manually adding it to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
LoadModule cband_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_cband.so
Edit the config for the vhost and add
<IfModule mod_cband.c> CBandSpeed 20kb/s 100 300 CBandRemoteSpeed 20kb/s 100 300 </IfModule>
This limits the download speed to 20kb/s, allows 100 requests/second and a maximum of 300 connections.
To improve mod_cband's performance add.
CBandScoreFlushPeriod 1 CBandRandomPulse On
to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Done. Now restart apache.
If you would like a scoreboard, set something like.
<IfModule mod_cband.c> CBandSpeed 20kb/s 100 300 CBandRemoteSpeed 20kb/s 100 300 <Location /cband-status> SetHandler cband-status </Location> </IfModule>
Create the directory for CBandScoreboard and make it writeable by the apache-user.
$ chown wwwrun.www /srv/www/scoreboard/
The status page can be found on http://your-domain/cband-status.
With mod_cband you can also limit the download speed based on monthly traffic or the source-ip. For more information see http://codee.pl/cband_documentation.html
Thanks to Florian Schaal

With this, I have two zones, which I can configure independently and where I limit CVD downloads to 25 connections with each up to 40k. The cdiffs are limited to 5 connections at a time to up to 400k each. This results in about 2MB/s or 5TB a month. If we stay way under my 10TB limit, I will allow some more connections.
The trick is to use a static value like $server_port as a counter instead of $remote_address.
We provide a configuration file for Apache and Lighttpd which lists.
The names of the files are.
Our script (clam-clientsync) by default excludes all files with a local_* prefix, so you won't see this file on your mirror.
You can write your own script to regularly download this file and use it on your webserver.
If you are running Apache and mod_access is enabled (most common setup), this can be as simple as this.
#!/bin/bash . $HOME/etc/clam-clientsync.conf export RSYNC_PASSWORD rsync $firstname.lastname@example.com::$MODULE/local_blacklist_apache $TO/.htaccess
#!/bin/bash . $HOME/etc/clam-clientsync.conf export RSYNC_PASSWORD rsync $firstname.lastname@example.com::$MODULE/local_blacklist_lighttpd /path/local_blacklist_lighttpd
You will need to include local_blacklist_lighttpd into main.conf, like this.
$HTTP["host"] =~ "^(clamav\.yourhostname\.tld|.*\.clamav\.net)$" { include "/path/local_blacklist_lighttpd"
We kindly ask our mirrors to support as many old versions of ClamAV as possible. However we understand that this can eat a lot of resources and not every mirror can afford it. If you use regex to block versions of ClamAV, please verify that you are not blocking newer versions of ClamAV. ClamAV will start using versions that follow x.y.z (major.minor.patch). Hereby we provide some config. examples for various web servers.
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^clamav/0.6" bad_clamav SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^clamav/devel-2008" bad_clamav SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^ClamWin/0.6" bad_clamav
<Location "/"> Order allow,deny Allow from all Deny from env=bad_clamav </Location>
$HTTP["useragent"] =~ "^clam(av|Win)\/(0.[67]|.*devel).*$" { url.access-deny = ( "" ) }
if ( $http_user_agent ~* "^clam(av|win)\/(0\.[67]|devel-200[0-8]|devel-0\.[0-8]).*$" ) { return 404; }
Due to numerous connects of outdated clients (> 300,000 / day), we add single IP temporarily to the firewall.
The Access Log of apache must send to syslog-ng:
$ mknod /var/log/apache/access.log p
The logformat and the accesslog must be defined like.
LogFormat "%h %v %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" syslogCustomLog= =/var/log/apache2/access.log syslog
As long as the log file runs only through the pipe, no entries are stored. The configuration used here evaluates merely the log file. To receive an Access Log as a file, you must extend either syslog-ng by a destination or the apache-config by a CustomLog.
source s_apache_access { pipe("/var/log/apache2/access.log"); };destination d_clamav-403 { file("/proc/net/xt_recent/clamav-403" template("+${APACHE.SRC-IP}\n")); };filter f_clamav_403 { message('clamav.net') and message(' 403 '); };parser p_apache_src_ip { csv-parser(columns("APACHE.SRC-IP") delimiters(': ') flags(escape-none,greedy) template("${MSGHDR}") ); };log { source(s_apache_access); filter(f_clamav_403); parser(p_apache_src_ip); destination(d_clamav-403); };
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m recent --rcheck --name clamav-403 --seconds 3600 --hitcount 5 -j DROP
Syslog-ng filters apache messages with the contents clamav.net and 403. As destination /proc/net/xt_recent/clamav-403 is defined. The template adds the IP to the firewall. With reach from "hitcount" the IP is blocked "seconds".
If you replace the rcheck here with an update statement, the block will last even longer. The rcheck option means: we will block you for the next hour. While update means: we don't want to see you for an hour, but if we see you again during this time, we'll block you again. It means that you actually need to be quiet for 60 minutes to be able to log in again.
By default xt_recent stores 100 IP addresses. You can change the limit with "modprobe ipt_recent ip_list_tot=10000" (here 10000). This is only possible before the first iptables rule is put on.
$ chmod 600 /sys/module/xt_recent/parameters/ip_list_tot $ echo 10000 > /sys/module/xt_recent/parameters/ip_list_tot $ chmod 400 /sys/module/xt_recent/parameters/ip_list_tot
to change ip_list_tot "on-the-fly"
If you use ipt_recent instead of xt_recent, be sure to modify the filenames and path.

It is the series finale between Tampa Bay and Detroit in Motor City and those betting baseball are looking at a potential treat for a pitching matchup with the current aces of both staffs.
Tampa Bay has been playing quite well in winning five of seven, thanks to offense which has carried the load. For Detroit, the offense has been hit and miss a good chunk of the season and take away today's pitcher Jordan Zimmermann, the Tigers starting pitchers have ERA approaching five.
For MLB picks, what gives for 1:08 EDT matinee?
Pitching Matchup - Archer vs. Zimmermann
It has not been a good start for Chris Archer (3-4, 4.38 ERA, 1.52 WHIP). It is easy to trace Archer's issues and they all have to do with pitch location. In the right-hander's nine starts, six times he has walked three or more hitters and only once has he not give out a free pass. Because he's not getting ahead of opposing batters, his strikeouts are down and Archer's .258 batting average allowed and .342 OBP surrendered are at career-high levels, a very negative trend. The news against Detroit is more positive where he is 1-1 in four outings with a 2.08 ERA.
Zimmermann (6-2, 2.45, 1.16) is settling back toward career-norms in his past three starts after being virtually unbeatable to start the season. The righty commands four pitches, including a low-90's fastball that has excellent tailing action and quick-biting slider. After not permitting a homer in first four starts, Zimmermann has been tagged for five in past four trips to the bump. With Tampa Bay's offense centered around the long ball, Zim will have to be careful.
Offensive Numbers
After floundering much of the season with lack of run production, the Rays offense looks like flashback to 2008 when they went to the World Series. Going into Saturday's contest, Tampa Bay was at a baseball-best 1.44 long balls per game and in their last seven contests, they have averaged 6.0 runs per game. The power sources have been coming from every spot on the lineup card despite lousy .290 team on-base percentage.
Detroit has been scoring in bunches since being shutout on May 13, 1-0 at Baltimore, averaging 6.0 RPG also. The Tigers are beginning to appear they could be feared offense again, as all the usual suspects are starting to swing the lumber and if Justin Upton (.272 OBP) starts to join in, Detroit would begin to have answers to overcome holes in starting pitching.
Betting Odds, History and Bullpen Numbers
The overnight MLB odds at GT Bets had Detroit at -120, with total of 8. The Rays have not minded recent visits to Comerica Park, with a 5-4 record, with the OVER 6-1-2 on the total. Tampa Bay has the more complete bullpen with a 3.38 ERA (as of 5/21), while Detroit still has not solved their pen woes entirely with the No.12 ranked bullpen in the AL.
Game Outcome
Normally, this is a fantastic situation to back Archer and the Rays since they are 10-2 as a road underdog of +100 to +150 the last two seasons. However, Tampa Bay has lost six of eight of Archer's past eight away outings and if he is starting Game 3 of a series, the Rays are dismal 0-4.
With such a small number, prefer the value of the home team to win and take the series.

he three-day celebrationof the Sikh FoundationInternational's 50thanniversary was every-thing a milestone galashould be: a grand reception atthe Asian Art Museum in SanFrancisco, with more than 240guests, and a two-day confer-ence at Stanford University.
Politicians, community leaders
and other prominent Indian-Americans felt pride and fellowship during the nonprofit
group's sweeping event from
May 5 through May 7.
Yet the festivities
were clouded somewhat by reminders of
Sikh's struggles,
exemplified by the
2016 assault on Maan
Singh Khalsa not far
from Berkeley,
California. Two men
from Texas were
recently sentenced to
three years in prison
for what has been
declared a hate crime.
"People who are not aware of
Sikhism think we are from Saudi
Arabia, leading to the killing of
many innocent," said the foundation's chairman, Narinder
Singh Kapany, 90.
"The promise of the Sikh
Foundation is to somehow create an understanding of our history, of who we are, so that we
can find unity through our common humanity," said Kapany,
considered the father of fiber
optics. He established the nonprofit with his wife, Satinder
Kaur Kapany, in 1967, to promote Sikh heritage and Sikh culture — a need, he said, that is
even greater now.
Sikhs have made progress, ofcourse, he said: the first Asian-American congressman was aSikh, Rep. Dalip Singh Saund, aPunjab native who servedCalifornia's 29th District from
1957 to 1963. And Canada has
four Sikh ministers in its cabinet.
"We live in a time when it iseasy to forget the value of thepast," said Kapany. "We are sur-rounded by the lure of moderni-ty and bombarded by incessantmessages about the value ofalmost anything new. As aresult, the works of our culturaland artistic heritage often lan-guish due to the benign neglector simple lack of attention."The world, he said, needsmore education on this and thefoundation is addressing that.
"The promise of the SikhFoundation is to create anunderstanding of our heritage—of who we are — so that we canfind unity through our commonhumanity," said executive direc-tor, Sonia Dhami.
In the aftermath of 9/11, Sikhs
became the target of hate crimes
all over the country. "And now
the need to educate Americans
about Sikh culture, history, and
religion became a matter of life
and death," she said.
When Kapany started the
foundation, the Silicon Valley
did not have today's multicultur-al landscape.
Recent world and national
events, she said, show a continued need for increased understanding of Sikh values, traditions and contributions. She said
the foundation shares progressive ethics, lyrical mysticism and
heroism of the Sikhs.
To enhance awareness about
Sikhism, the foundation has
established four chairs of Sikh
studies at universities in
California and supported seven
exhibits of Sikh art at major
museums around the world and
published over a dozen publications.
Meanwhile, during the May 5gala, the foundation honoredwith Nirbhau (which means"without fear") Awards to fivewomen who have left a mark onthe world: U.S. filmmaker, civilrights activist and lawyer ValarieKaur, Sikh Afghan politicianAnarkali Kaur Honaryar, artistArpana Caur, Maine college pro-fessor Nikky G.

Thanks to Rockets not showing up other than to fight and push the Warriors, we were just one Howard rebound shy of a perfect NBA picks day. However, I am back to try and keep the momentum going.
Playoff Prop Record: 2-1
Nicolas Batum O/U – Points, rebounds and assists
In my NBA Picks of the day article, I mentioned that without Chris Bosh, the Heat have one less matchup nightmare waiting for the Hornets, Well, it's also true that the Hornets now have a matchup nightmare of their own without Bosh, and it comes in the form of Nicolas Batum.
With the Heat playing small and playing Luol Deng at the four, that means Joe Johnson will be defending Batum in this one. While Johnson was once a solid defender at one point, he is no longer. Johnson is simply too sloe and undersized to give Batum any sort of issues in this one.
In their last three games against one another, Batum is averaging 16.6 points, 8.3 assists and 7.3 rebounds. At his prop price tag, Batum is a great value to go over this points, rebounds and assists prop.
The Heat did rank 13th against small forwards this season, but that was with Deng starting there for more than half the season. This season, Johnson is allowing players he defends to shoot over 65 percent from within ten feet, and Batum is going to be taking him off the dribble a lot in this one.
Free NBA Pick: Nicolas Batum Over 27.5 points, rebounds and assists (-115)
Best Line Offered: at bet365
LaMarcus Aldridge O/U – Points and rebounds
Back in the early part of the season after the Spurs got blown out of the water in their first meeting with Golden State, LaMarcus Aldridge played horrible in that game. He went so far as to get rid of his social media accounts after that game, but since then things have been clicking for the Spurs big acquisition from the offseason.
Aldridge has been instrumental in the Spurs season, and with all of the injuries issues for the Grizzlies, Aldridge is going to feast against this weakened Memphis frontcourt.
Even though his finger is a little banged up, I doubt it has a huge effect on his game against these Grizzlies. In Aldridge's last two games against Memphis, he went for at least 31 points and 12 rebounds in each of those games.
Plus, in the last four weeks, Memphis has been the worst team at defending power forwards, giving up an average of 26 points and 14 rebounds per 48 minutes. Aldridge is going to have a field day against this Grizzlies team.
Free NBA Pick: LaMarcus Aldridge OVER 29.5 points, rebounds and assists (-120)
Best Line Offered: at Heritage
Charlotte Hornets O/U 98 points
There is some question as to whether the Heat are going to play faster in the playoffs like they did at times during the regular season, or are they going to slow down the pace and play a methodical half court game. I think it's going to be a mixture of both, because I think the Hornets are actually going to force them to play a little faster.
Even though Charlotte played in the lower half of the league in pace this season, they are facing a veteran team that they can beat in transition. This should lead to Kemba Walker getting out to run more, and the rest of the Hornets following suit.
Plus, the Hornets were the middle of the road in defending against fast break points, so all in all, the Heat have some motivation to run as well. With Miami's defense having a tough matchup in this series as well against a younger and deeper team, I think the formula for Charlotte to get to 99 or more points in this one is good.
The Hornets had a big game against the Heat last month in Miami where they scored 109, so I don't think the road playoff game is going to scare them tonight; in this case, the NBA odds boards make me lean to the 'Over'.

It didn't occur to me until I was 27 what that nagging feeling inside was. Yeah, you know, the kind of feeling that keeps you lying awake at night staring at the ceilings.
I discovered what it was while jogging on a dirt country road on a cool spring evening. My eyes were drawn to some chickadees fluttering about in the trees. As I watched them scamper from branch to branch, my attention was drawn to the green buds at the end of each limb. They were opening. It was then I realized with a sudden clarity that the feeling I hadn't been able to identify was calling to begin a whole new journey into the wild (wilderness backpacking, anyone!?), and also into myself.
Wilderness backpacking hadn't crossed my mind much over the past 15 years, though. It was something I'd imagined doing as a child, as I spent countless hours in the woods, traipsing about the lush forests that surrounded my home. But I'd forgotten about it, let my passion for exploring nature fall to the wayside as I tried to embrace the routine of adult life, doing what I felt I "should" do rather than indulging my true callings.
It was on that cool spring night that my journey to becoming a wilderness woman began. Though, if I'm honest with myself the journey started long before that, back when I was that small child in the woods. So maybe on that night I just found the trail again and was able to resume my journey.
Either way, the journey has begun.

Looking a bit like meatballs, no?
Ok. Today's taste testers are me and the BF. No cat again today - chocolate is no good for felines.
I'm a little annoyed already (surprise face) because they have a 'best before' notice on the package...but clearly they don't label the freshness at the point of packaging. They wait until it gets to the fucking store and then JimBob or whoever tags it with a sticker gun with whatever date they feel like.
Sorry, my iPhone camera was zeeking out and not focusing. But you get my point: 'Best Before' has no date next to it. Sticker loosely posted on the packaging says 11/28/09. Therefore, if it's dusty, stay the fuck away from them.
On to the tasting. There are only four to a package, which isn't so bad, but I was surprised. Maybe because whenever I'm ready to eat brownies, there's a tray involved.
BF: Hmmm...not bad. Ok wait, there's a funky aftertaste.
Me: Yeah, like I sucked on a nickel and then ate a brownie.
BF: Yeah, like an alkali taste (note: BF is supersmart, so him referencing 'alkali' is not me padding the story).
Me Checking the Ingredients: Holy shit. Egg, Corn Syrup, Cocoa Powder - PROCESSED WITH ALKALI! Ew.
Me Eating Another: You just have to keep eating them to get rid of the aftertaste. That's how they getcha.
Final vote: 0 for Duane Reade, 2 for IHDR.
Star rating for the hell of it: 2 stars out of 5.
Next up will be Chocolate Chunk cookies I'm bringing to a Halloween party. Will be good to get a group opinion.

The last week or so has been full of ups and downs for me, which I meant to blog about before now, so I have a few different things to share. I'll start off with the ups…
Thursday before last, I had a lovely surprise when I found out that my Dragon design made the top ten in Spoonflower's Mythical Creature Plushie pattern contest! It came 6th (out of 149 designs) with 314 votes – thank you to everyone who voted for it! Wood Mouse Bobbit's Griffin Kitten design came first – it was my favourite entry to the contest so I was really happy for her to win. Her design consisted of lots of different parts to create a 3D toy, so it was a very impressive design and looked great made up.
I have ordered a print of my own dragon design and should have it within the next week or two, and will then be able to make it available to buy from my Spoonflower shop. I'll let you know when it arrives!
I have ordered a print of my own dragon design and should have it within the next week or two, and will then be able to make it available to buy from my Spoonflower shop. I'll let you know when it arrives!
In other good news, I had a new card design released with Phoenix Trading last week. It features rows of horses with different markings; palomino, piebald etc. so would be great for horse lovers! Here's a pic from the new catalogue (my design is on the right):
The samples of my horse card design arrived early this morning and I love how the design has been printed on matt card with the horses embossed…
I have been busy working on new designs to submit for Phoenix surveys but I can't show you any pictures of those yet. They are for general, everyday cards and Christmas ones. Phoenix have regular surveys where designs submitted from all the artists are sent out to the traders who vote for their favourite designs. Phoenix then use the results to choose which cards will be published in the next product release. Fingers crossed they like my new designs!
As I mentioned at the start of this post, the week had it's downs too. Sadly my guinea pig Basil became sick and died last week. Tuesday involved a trip to the vet for him and then I spent the rest of the day syringe feeding him with painkiller, medicine and special food. Unfortunately he was very weak and didn't make it through the night. I'm missing him very much but take some comfort in knowing he is no longer in pain and we did what we could to try and help him.
To end on something a little better, I have a long list of blog posts planned with some things I've been making and baking recently (last weekend was my sister's birthday so I baked her a fancy cake!). I should have a bit more time to write about them next week, as my Christmas designs need to be in to Phoenix by the end of the week. You can expect to be seeing more flower and garden photos soon too – the first daffodils are opening in my garden, announcing the arrival of spring and the weather has been warming up so I have started doing some gardening again.

Silk Screen Printing
A silk screen print is an image made by rubbing paint on a surface through openings in a stencil or stencil-like film applied to a mesh screen. The silk-screen process, like stenciling, is a kind of surface printing as distinct from relief or intaglio methods. It deposits mat layers of paint on a surface rather than staining it, as in printing. The process as used by artists, generally requiring a silk screen and hand techniques, is called serigra-phy. As used commercially, with different kinds of screen and often photography, it is called screen printing.
In silk screen printing, a screen of fine silk, nylon, cotton, or steel wire is stretched tightly over a rectangular wood or metal frame hinged to a board. The original drawing is placed under it. In the simplest processes the resist (not to be printed) areas of the design are painted on the screen with shellac, lacquer, or glue; or a stencil cut in thin vinyl or other film is applied to the screen. In a more sophisticated procedure, the areas to be printed are painted with tusche (lithographer's ink), the screen is entirely covered with a glue solution and dried, and the tusche is washed off the reverse side with kerosine, carrying along the glue over it. Alternatively, the screen may be covered with glue, the resist areas painted with black lacquer or shellac, and the glue washed off the printing areas. Similar effects can be achieved with photographic methods, and various techniques can be combined.
The surface to be printed is then placed under the frame, which, with the screen on the bottom, forms a shallow box into which a water or, usually, oil paint is poured. It is rubbed over the screen with a squeegee, remaining on top of the resist areas but penetrating the areas of uncovered mesh. Innumerable layers of color, opaque or transparent, may be built up, using a new stencil for each color. The screen can be cleaned and reused many times.
Silk-screen printing is a relatively modern development, and today the process is important industrially to print textiles, posters, signs, labels, bottles and other curved objects, and half-tone illustrations. In the late 1930's and the 1940's, American artists such as Harry Steinberg and Anthony Velonis made, silk screen prints of the American scene. In the 1950's artists such as Glen Alps and Sister Mary Corita turned to more abstract, personal subjects. Multinational artists of the 1960's (Robert Rauschenberg, Bridget Riley, Victor Vasarely, Andy Warhol, and others) have taken a Pop art and minimal art approach to silk screen and have combined artists' and industrial techniques.

New Jersey governor fundraising in Maine for GOP
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is heading to Maine to help raise cash for the state's Republican Party and Gov. Paul LePage.
Christie, who serves as chairman of the Republican Governors Association, will attend two fundraisers in Portland on Wednesday. The events are closed to the press.
LePage's campaign hopes Christie's presence in Maine will bolster its finances and rally its support base as the three-way race heats up between the Republican governor, Democratic candidate Mike Michaud and independent Eliot Cutler.
LePage currently trails his opponents in fundraising, but his campaign says it's been hampered by rules prohibiting contributions during the legislative session from lobbyists or businesses or individuals that employ lobbyists. The session ended last week, so those rules are no longer in place.

Full text not available from this repository.
Extending the work presented in Prasad et al. (IEEE Proceedings on Control Theory and Applications, 147, 523–37, 2000), this paper reports a hierarchical nonlinear physical model-based control strategy to account for the problems arising due to complex dynamics of drum level and governor valve, and demonstrates its effectiveness in plant-wide disturbance handling. The strategy incorporates a two-level control structure consisting of lower-level conventional PI regulators and a higher-level nonlinear physical model predictive controller (NPMPC) for mainly set-point manoeuvring. The lower-level PI loops help stabilise the unstable drum-boiler dynamics and allow faster governor valve action for power and grid-frequency regulation. The higher-level NPMPC provides an optimal load demand (or set-point) transition by effective handling of plant-wide interactions and system disturbances. The strategy has been tested in a simulation of a 200-MW oil-�red power plant at Ballylumford in Northern Ireland. A novel approach is devized to test the disturbance rejection capability in severe operating conditions. Low frequency disturbances were created by making random changes in radiation heat �ow on the boiler-side, while condenser vacuumwas �uctuating in a random fashion on the turbine side. In order to simulate high-frequency disturbances, pulse-type load disturbances were made to strike at instants which are not an integral multiple of the NPMPC sampling period.

text: Celebrate The Holidays With "CMA Country Christmas" Hosted By Jennifer Nettles Scott Frans September 26, 2013 NASHVILLE – Some of the most powerful and emotionally moving voices in music come together to celebrate the holidays on "CMA Country Christmas," which tapes in front of a live audience Friday, Nov. 8 (7:30 PM/CT), at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. The special, which features Jennifer Nettles hosting for the fourth year, airs this holiday season on the ABC Television Network. "It's really a joy for me to get to host 'CMA Country Christmas,'" Nettles said. "I have so much fun doing it! I love the holiday season, and for me to get to be a part of this show for the fourth year in a row is a really big honor. What I love about doing this gig is that it's the closest I've gotten to the old classic television variety shows. It is entertainment that everybody in the family can find fun, and I hope it's something that keeps happening for years and years and years." Artists scheduled to perform and celebrate the season with songs and stories include Trace Adkins, Luke Bryan, Sheryl Crow, Lucy Hale, Nettles, Jake Owen, Kellie Pickler, Rascal Flatts, Darius Rucker, and Michael W. Smith. "The taping for 'CMA Country Christmas' is a jump-start for the holiday season and has become a family tradition for many Nashville residents," said CMA Board President Ed Hardy. "Adding to the celebration is our A Gift for All toy drive, which provides new toys for homeless children, shining a spotlight on a worthy endeavor in a way that reflects the values and heart of our artists, the industry, and this city." For the second year, audience members are being encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to the taping to help make the holidays brighter for Nashville area children. The Nashville-based, non-profit group Generosity, will have volunteers on site with specially marked bins to collect the toys, which will be distributed to homeless families this holiday season. In 2012, the group collected more than 5,000 toys. Volunteers from Generosity will start accepting toys Friday, Nov. 8 at 1:00 PM/CT at the Bridgestone Arena Plaza (corner of Fifth Avenue and Broadway, Nashville). You do not have to have a ticket to the show to drop off a toy. "Our artists are extremely generous and so are our fans," Hardy said. "It is our goal to make sure no child goes without a present this Christmas and we are grateful to our partners at Generosity for helping to make this a dream come true for children in Nashville." Tickets for "CMA Country Christmas" are on sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com; by calling (800) 745-3000; or in person at the Bridgestone Arena Box Office, located at 501 Broadway (corner of Fifth Avenue and Broadway, Nashville). Tickets for "CMA Country Christmas" cost $50 for Lower and Club Level reserved seating; $25 for Upper Level reserved seating. Ticket prices include tax, but exclude applicable service fees. For updates and information visit CMAchristmas.com. "CMA Country Christmas" is a production of the Country Music Association. Robert Deaton is the Executive Producer, Paul Miller is the Director, and David Wild is the writer. The special will be shot in high definition and broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with 5.1 channel surround sound About Generosity: Generosity was founded in 2012 by running partners Shaun Daugherty and Bethni Hemphill as a place to fundraise for charities close to their heart, and to volunteer in their community and around the world.

Cost: $12 per person
First of all, it's been a really long time since my last post (all time long I believe), and I'm sorry about that. I was out of town for my cousin's bar mitzvah (he did great by the way). So not only was I out of town, but my sister and I were given large amounts of leftovers which I've been trying to eat through over the past week. Well I broke the eat out drought for my buddy Dave's birthday. We had quite the med school crew assembled (Dave, Mike, Rabbi Kaufman, Mark, Joe, Steve, and P-Ty), and the plan was dinner followed by a Blackhawks victory. We decided to go to Jake Melnick's.
The seating at Jake Melnick's is an assortment of raised bar tables as well as booths. We didn't need a reservation on a Wednesday night, but it may be helpful at busier times. They've got a bunch of TVs, not a ton, but it'd still be a good place to watch a game with some solid food.
Our server was excellent. We told her that we were in a hurry to get in and out and to the game. We also asked her to split up the check among a large party. She never missed a step, and drinks stayed full the whole time.
The cost is what I've come to expect with burgers, wings, and fries for a little over $10. They had a solid deal with the burger of the month and a beer for $12. The portions are gigantic with excessive amounts of fries (in a good way).
The Food
Everyone got some sandwich or another. Mark got the Jake's Smokin' Que Burger, Dave got the Steak Sandwich, Joe got the half slab of ribs, Mike got the Pulled Pork Sandwich, Steve and Kaufman got the Country Fried Burger, P-Ty got the Turkey Burger, I went for the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, and we split an order of Buffalo Wings for the table.
The Smokin' Que Burger was wrapped in bacon and topped with pulled pork, and Mark said it was the most ridiculously delicious burger. Dave liked the Steak Sandwich a lot. Joe went to town on the ribs which were plenty heavy on the sauce. Mike's had the Pulled Pork Sandwich a bunch of times, and he said it was as good as ever. Kaufman and Steve got the Country Fried Burger (chicken fried burger, on texas toast, fried egg, cheddar cheese, bacon, and sausage gravy) mostly because it had the deal with the beer for $12. It may have been a little overkill in that it literally may have taken years off of their life. It reminded me of the Horseshoe (popular dish in Springfield, IL), and looked like it could satisfy most anyone's gluttony. The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated in a spicy sauce. For the most part though, they're famous for the wings, and I can see why. They're breaded like the ones at Hooters which is much harder to come by than you might think. They've got a variety of sauces, but the spicy sauce has a good kick without giving me the spicy hiccups. Everything came with fries as well. These fries were hand cut and delicious. They weren't soggy at all or over salted, and there were a ton of them. They may have just been my favorite part of the meal.
On wings alone there's a ton to say about Jake Melnick's. Throw on a variety of burgers, solid bar sandwiches, and a pretty good list of on tap beers and you've got somewhere to hang your hat. I originally wrote about Jake Melnick's in my post for CBS on Chicago's Best Chicken Joints, and I'm glad I did. I'm giving them 4 out of 5 Pearls.

Free KOKO VIDEO Updates
Koko and her Lifelong Teacher and Friend, Dr. Penny Patterson
June 20, 2018
Woodside, CA Koko — the gorilla known for her extraordinary mastery of sign language, and as the primary ambassador for her endangered species — passed away on the morning of June 19, 2018 in her sleep at the age of 46. Koko touched the lives of millions as an ambassador for all gorillas and an icon for interspecies communication and empathy. She was beloved and will be deeply missed. Koko, a western lowland gorilla, was born Hanabi-ko (Japanese for "Fireworks Child") on July 4, 1971 at the San Francisco Zoo. Dr. Francine "Penny" Patterson began working with Koko the next year, famously teaching her sign language. Dr. Patterson and Dr. Ronald Cohn moved Koko and the project to Stanford in 1974 and went on to establish The Gorilla Foundation. While at Stanford the project expanded to include a second western lowland gorilla, Michael. In 1979 Koko and The Gorilla Foundation moved to the Santa Cruz Mountains where Ndume joined them as a fellow ambassador for their species. Koko's capacity for language and empathy has opened the minds and hearts of millions. She has been featured in multiple documentaries and appeared on the cover of National Geographic twice. The first cover, in October of 1978, featured a photograph Koko had taken of herself in a mirror. The second issue, in January of 1985, included the story of Koko and her kitten, All Ball. Following the article, the book Koko's Kitten was published and continues to be used in elementary schools worldwide. Her impact has been profound and what she has taught us about the emotional capacity of gorillas and their cognitive abilities will continue to shape the world. The foundation will continue to honor Koko's legacy and advance our mission with ongoing projects including conservation efforts in Africa, the great ape sanctuary on Maui, and a sign language application featuring Koko for the benefit of both gorillas and children. For press inquiries or to make a tax-deductible donation to the Koko Fund, please contact Joy Chesbrough, The Gorilla Foundation's Chief Philanthropy Officer, at: 1-800-ME-GO-APE ext 14.Woodside, CA press inquiries Joy Chesbrough,

In many situations imperative code is fine. When we write business logic we usually have to write mostly imperative code, as there will not exist a more generic abstraction over our business domain.
But if we take the time to learn (or build!) declarative abstractions we can take dramatic and powerful shortcuts when we write code. Firstly, we can usually write less of it, which is a quick win. But we also get to think and operate at a higher level, up in the clouds of
we want to happen, and not down in the dirty of
it should happen.
You may not realise it, but one place where you have already used declarative abstractions effectively is in SQL.
You can think of SQL as a declarative query language for working with sets of data. Would you write an entire application in SQL? Probably not. But for working with sets of related data it is incredibly powerful.
Take a query like:
Imagine trying to write the logic for this yourself imperatively:
Yuck! Now, I'm not saying that SQL is always easy to understand, or necessarily obvious when you first see it, but it's a lot clearer than that mess.
But it's not just shorter and easier to read, SQL gives us plenty of other benefits. Because we have abstracted over the how we can focus on the what and let the database optimise the how for us.
If we were to use it, our imperative example would be slow because we would have to iterate over the full list of owners for every dog in the list.
But in the SQL example we can let the database deal with how to get the correct results. If it makes sense to use an index (providing we've set one up) the database can do so, resulting in a large performance gain. If it's just done the same query a second ago it might serve it from a cache almost instantly. By letting go of how we can get a whole host of benefits by letting computers do the hardwork, with little cognitive overhead.
Another place where declarative approaches are really powerful is in user interfaces, graphics and animations.
Coding user interfaces is hard work. Because we have user interaction and we want to make nice dynamic user interactions, we typically end up with a lot of state management, and generic how code that could be abstracted away, but frequently isn't.
A great example of a declarative abstraction is d3.js . D3 is a library that helps you build interactive and animated visualisations of data using JavaScript and (typically) SVG.
The first time (and fifth time, and possibly even the tenth time) you see or try and write d3 code your head will hurt. Like SQL, d3 is an incredibly powerful abstraction over visualising data that deals with almost all of the how for you, and lets you just say what you want to happen.
Here's an example (I recommend
Mee Shoes Womens Chic Low Heel Buckle Court Shoes Black wRYf5bZv
for some context). This is a d3 visualization that draws a circles for each object in the
array. To demonstrate what's going on we add a circle every second.

Is DIY Management Ever a Good Idea?
Many property owners feel reluctant to pay for a professional property manager, thinking it would save money to handle their property needs solo. Before you jump in feet first and hope for the best, it's important to understand all of the responsibilities that come with managing a rental unit. This will allow you to make an informed decision about what will work best for your unique situation.
Finding the Right Tenants
The right tenants make a huge difference when it comes to your rental properties. With bad renters in place, you could find yourself dealing with a long list of nightmares: unpaid rent, property damage, and more! To keep this from happening, you'll need to connect with interested applicants in Texas, and then screen your rental applications thoroughly.
Many landlords don't even know how to start searching for tenants. At Keyrenter, we create digital listings for every property we represent, and we syndicate our availabilities across a number of real estate sites. We also use traditional advertising methods to connect with the largest audience possible. After we begin receiving applications, we use our rigorous 14-step screening process to separate good candidates from the bad.
Handling Maintenance Problems
Landlords who want to take care of maintenance issues need to be skilled handymen. From repairing HVAC systems to fixing plumbing problems, the average rental home needs plenty of attention over the course of its lifetime. If a particular challenge requires special expertise, you'll need to negotiate with local contractors to provide the service for you.
Of course, maintenance issues don't only arise during "business" hours. We often receive phone calls in the middle of the night and on weekends, when emergencies occur in a property we manage. If you choose to manage your property on your own, you'll need to stay on call around the clock—and if you feel like taking a vacation, you'll need to find someone to take over.
Arranging Your Financial Affairs
Turning a profit is always the goal for landlords, but a lot of effort goes into keeping your financial affairs in top shape. From sending out rent bills to processing incoming payments each month, you'll need to pay close attention to the monetary matters of your portfolio. You will also need to careful manage security deposits, document expenses for tax purposes, and follow up with tenants who are behind on their rent.
Don't let your finances spiral out of control, or you could be facing a massive headache.
Still Thinking about DIY Management?
If you feel comfortable marketing your property, screening tenants, answering maintenance calls, and handling all of the finances for your rental portfolio, you might be the right candidate for DIY management. At the end of the day, property management takes a lot of work. If you're ready for that commitment and have the time and energy to spare, you may not need a property manager.
For everybody else, professional property management simply makes sense. By choosing Keyrenter, you'll benefit from an affordable alternative that will help you save money, time, and stress. Ready to learn more? Call us today to get started: (210) 503-8000

Integra Partners Seeks Damages from PT Games Deal
Integra Partners is looking to recover damages from PT Games after a missed deadline cost the company their Maltese remote gaming license. Details are still scarce in this developing story, but here's what we know so far.
According to a post on the forums at GPWA yesterday, Integra Partners has turned to a Maltese arbitration court to recover losses cause by PT Games' failure to complete a new gaming platform as scheduled.
Because Maltese gaming regulations required the software to be in place by a certain time, the delay cost Integra more than just the usual headaches of a missed deadline.
None of this is good news for IntPar, the comapany that purchased Integra last February with the hopes of reviving the troubled Grand Duke Casino site. Integra had been listed rogue with a number of affiliate advocacy sites, including CAP, but shed that label during the summer.
This story is still developing, so watch CAP for the latest details as they emerge.
What do you think of this latest twist in the Integra story? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
