In a short period of time, we have changed the world of data while having fun – and our job isn't complete. Rosslyn Analytics is a place to gain unique experiences and skills if you're energetic, thrive on change, a great team player, look for a challenge, determined to succeed then we are a great match for you. It takes a certain type of person to work here and we strive to find the best to join our brilliant team.
We exist to make our clients successful. It's also about supporting each other when help is required such as pitching in when you least expect it. We think and act as one team though we come from many parts of the world. We are linked together in a common mission to serve others.
Each and every one is keen to learn, gain new knowledge and experiences. We apply ourselves to solve the biggest business hurdles facing our clients through technology and the value of data. We embrace failure because we recognize it's the only way to learn and progress.
We are building not a company, but a movement that is defied by helping people in organizations do exciting new things. Often, we build new technologies to allow us to take a small but important leap forward where no one before has walked.
We also have a client satisfaction rate that borders on awe inspiring. Yet, we want to do more, but we need the best, dare to be diffident people to continue our trajectory of growth for the benefit of our clients.
We seek to offer competitive reward for the exciting work we are all fortunate enough to be involved in. We are growing rapidly and have set ourselves some ambitious targets; great rewards will come when we have achieved against these targets. If you are focused, innovative, driven and determined to deliver great output then together we can be part of something truly leading edge.
We offer a competitive basic salary. We are so well respected in our field that we successfully completed an IPO in April 2014, awarding us public company status. Options will be made available to our top performing team members to recognize the enormous contributions that they make. As we continue our journey of success and growth, this should become a more and more lucrative part of the package.
At Rosslyn, we are continually looking at how we can enhance our employee package and we also offer:
We are working on developing a pension to support our business ethos in the light of the new auto-enrolment legislation.
However, within Rosslyn benefits do no always have to be tangible, physical outputs. We have a culture where financial reward is not what makes us jump out of bed in the morning. We know that it is an important factor, but it is definitely not the primary motivator within the Rosslyn team.
At Rosslyn Analytics we have a team that seek innovation and creativity. We positively encourage the need for finding work that you personally are inspired to deliver, that doesn't come from a heavily controlled and prescriptive working environment. Of course we have deliverables, but we look for people to join us that are capable of using their initiative and are passionate to continually do what's right to enable us to move forward.
We have a strong sales culture and there is plenty of opportunity to succeed. We don't find it difficult to get in front of customers as we have a fabulous proposition. The opportunity for financial success in sales is definitely there for the taking.
And to fuel all of the innovative thought and keep the grey matter buzzing we have a permanent free supply of tea, Coffee, biscuits and fruit. Wednesdays we kick start you with donuts and on Fridays we round the week off (round being the operative word) with pizza.
"I am very proud to have a career at Rosslyn Analytics. The work is exciting and challenging because we are on the cutting edge of technology. You will not find any company possessing smarter, more dedicated technical minds committed to creating the most user friendly tools designed to help business professionals.
I have always been supported in balancing work and home life and am able to work remotely when I need to. This flexibility allows me to get work done and still maintain balance with my personal life."
Jon Sampson is a Senior Data Infrastructure and Automation Manager based in New York
"Having spent a number of years in the procurement/supply chain consulting services space I was keen to transfer my skillset into technology as this, to me, is the growing area to underpinning business performance – especially analytics. I spent the time researching the market and found Rosslyn Analytics to be an excellent target given its rapid growth. Once I had met the leadership team, and those behind the technology, I knew this would be the right fit.
I enjoy the "can do" ethos that exists within Rosslyn and the autonomy I am given to go about my role. Coupled with a strong product and an impressive client list, the company is a great place. We work hard but we also have time to celebrate our successes – we have the right balance."
Richard Ludlow is a Direct Salesman based in London
"What I love most about the company is the friendly environment where I don't have to hesitate to share my ideas. Apart from that, I am so glad to work with this company because I can see myself learning a lot here.
One of the biggest reasons that motivates me to work here is the company really appreciates the work I do. The feedback I have received is really valuable and the recognition that I have received boosts my motivation even more. It's a great place to work."
Vipul Narang is Business Intelligence Developer based in London

I am using pagination with Dynamic Data lookup.
My rest service returns a json array result like [{"a":"a","b":"b" },{"a":"a","b":"b" },{"a":"a","b":"b" },{"a":"a","b":"b" }]
When I am getting the result I return the json object from Dynamic Data service and its works fine at UI.
1)But when there is no matching record for the input criteria for rest, I get an empty array like []. When same is rendered in UI, the pagination getting activated with page 1/0 and Next, Last button also active. If I continue to click on next..its an infinite loop .... like 2/0, 3/0...never ending. If result is empty it should show 0/0 with all pagination button disabled.
To Avoid That I passed a single empty array [{}], which is displaying 1/1 record with empty values for columns except a dropdown list field and navigation buttons are disabled.
How can I achive no result on screen (0/0 with navigation button inactive) to get for empty json result?
2)Also I observed, once I get a result from REST for search option, on next search even if there is no result from REST(empty json array), pagination taking the result from buffer. Don't know how it happens, but when I debug in groovy, I see empty result, however on screen I see few records.
Please suggest how to resolve above 2 issues

The contrast between the historical and the futuristic could scarcely be greater than the example currently being provided in Dresden. Passengers on the bus route 62 are experiencing this in person as they glide past the most wonderful monuments and squares of Dresden in an electrically-operated Mercedes-Benz Citaro articulated omnibus. The first three of, in total, eight Mercedes-Benz Citaro G BlueTec®-Hybrid vehicles ordered were presented to Reiner Zieschank, member of the Management Board of Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe AG (public transport operator) on 19 May 2011 on the Theaterplatz square by Konstantinos Tsiknas, Head of Sales for the Mercedes-Benz Bus and Coach unit in Germany.
The hybrid buses will be deployed primarily on the high volume and high-frequency 60s bus routes in the future. The benefits of the sustainable hybrid technology will be exploited to best effect on these routes. Changing topography, the proximity to the city centre and the buses' high capacity provide ideal conditions in which to prove the vehicles' suitability for prolonged daily use. The number of hybrid vehicles even makes it possible to run a complete line with them. Whole sections of the network could thus be operated electrically.
The Citaro G BlueTEC® Hybrid is currently the only hybrid bus available that can cover 9-kilometre-long sections of the route solely on electric power - i.e. without using its diesel engine - and that drives nearly noiselessly up to bus stops. It continues on its route after each stop in exactly the same way, without the usual loud engine sound associated with buses. The drive system comprises four electric wheel hub motors that source electricity from one of the largest lithium-ion batteries ever used in mobile applications. Electricity is generated through braking when the bus is driving downhill, for example. If required, it can also be produced using a generator driven by a diesel engine that is relatively small for the Citaro's vehicle category. Experts call this type of system a series hybrid drive.
This technologically advanced diesel-electric hybrid concept has been implemented in the tried-and-tested articulated variant of the world's most successful city bus series – the Mercedes-Benz Citaro. Externally, the hybrid Citaro looks just like a conventional diesel bus. The only difference is a higher roof to house the battery. The real difference becomes apparent once the bus starts moving. Operating smoothly and virtually silently, the four electric motors accelerate the 18 metre bus very quickly. Boasting a combined output of 320 kW which, if required, can also be provided by the battery and the diesel-driven generator, these motors are installed close to the wheel hubs of the centre and rear axles. The motors are also used when the bus brakes, acting like generators or bicycle dynamos as they transform braking energy into the electricity used to charge the battery. Should the battery require more energy, the diesel engine is switched on automatically to produce additional electricity. This diesel engine is only half the size of the combustion engine generally used in diesel buses, and weighs only 450 kg (as opposed to 1000 kg). It also boasts a 4.8-litre engine capacity instead of the usual 12 litres. And its 160 kW output is approximately one-third lower than that of a conventional diesel bus engine.
As its energy storage device, the new Mercedes-Benz Citaro G BlueTEC® Hybrid uses a lithium-ion battery with an output unprecedented in this performance category. The battery system generates a maximum of 240 kW and, weighing less than 350 kg, is comparatively light. Key advantages over conventional battery systems include a higher energy density, high storage capacity, and low weight. By way of comparison, hybrid drive buses tested in Stuttgart 30 years ago used 3000 kg lead batteries. Lithium-ion batteries first came on the market in 1991. Today they can be found in virtually all devices that combine high energy requirements with low weight, e.g. mobile phones, digital cameras, camcorders, and notebooks. It was only relatively recently, however, that they began to be used in large vehicles like passenger cars, trucks, and buses. The use of lithium-ion batteries in buses is nothing new for Daimler. More than 900 of the 2850 hybrid buses on the road which are produced by Orion (a Daimler AG brand in USA), the global market leader for hybrid buses, are already equipped with lithium-ion batteries manufactured by the company that supplied the battery system for the new Mercedes-Benz Citaro G BlueTEC® Hybrid. The output of this system corresponds to that of approximately 9000 large laptop batteries.
Over 400,000 passengers use the public transport network operated by Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe every day. In addition to buses and trams, cable cars and ferries also form part of the public transport offering in the capital of Saxony, which is used by inhabitants and tourists in equal measures. The public transport operator runs 29 bus routes with a bus fleet of 145 vehicles.
Vehicle procurement, such as the recent hybrid fleet additions, is based on the principle of sustainability, as is Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe's corporate philosophy as a whole. By creating an attractive form of local public transport, the transport operator would like to contribute directly to the development of the city in an ecological, economic and socially acceptable way. With 1703 employees and 94 apprentices the public transport operator is the most important employer in Dresden.

A new study links teenagers' use of Ecstasy and speed (methamphetamine and/or amphetamine) with a higher risk of developing depression. The study did not prove the drugs caused depression, according to HealthDay.
The study of almost 3,900 10th graders in Quebec found that, compared with teens who didn't use the drugs, those who said they used either speed or Ecstasy had a 60 to 70 percent increased risk of showing signs of depression a year later. Those who had tried both speed and Ecstasy had twice the risk for developing depressive symptoms, the researchers report.
They note the drugs could have an effect on hormone levels involved in mood control. It is also possible that those who use the drugs are influenced by other users who have their own issues and mood problems.
"Our findings are consistent with other human and animal studies that suggest long-term negative influences of synthetic drug use," co-author Frédéric N. Brière of the University of Montreal said in a news release.
The study is scheduled to appear in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

We have a basic shape, then you just vary the color or pattern. And let's face it, swim wear for preppy guys is terrible! A lot of the options look like a Hawaiian shirt threw up on the wearers lap, but no fears, here's a few great swim suit selections that are sure to keep you cool, and looking it too!

Print off some of these FREE Printable Christmas Coloring Page for a fun activity for kids or adults this holiday season!
Hi everyone! I'm Erin from Printable Crush and I'm sharing another fun printable coloring page! I shared one over the summer and I just can't get enough of this fun activity. I created a whole Holiday Fun set for every major holiday that you can purchase here, but I'm all about the freebies, too!
I just print off a few of these and give them to my kids when they're getting too rambunctious. I'm lucky that my kids really like to color because it keeps me sane. I wish I had made these when I was teaching the 6-year-olds at church. These are more detailed, so it takes a little longer to color…and they're pretty enough for adults, too!

Me: Hey Cicero, I have been doing a lot of thinking lately on a topic that has been bothering me, and wanted to know if you could provide some insight on the matter?
Cicero: Surely, what is bothering you?
Me: Well, it seems that today many people are struggling with their lives because they feel directionless. A nihilistic world view with a hedonistic life style seems to be the default mode for many people. This doesn't seem right to me though, that just seems empty. There must be something else, right?
Cicero: Well lets start with this, what do you think, in general, all people want for their lives in the end?
Me: Well I think that the vast majority of us would agree that we want to live a good life, a fulfilled life. A life that we can look back on and say 'Yes, that was a good life, I am happy with what I accomplished. I can leave now without any regrets'.
Cicero: Yes indeed, so there it is. That is your end goal, that is the direction in which you should head.
Me: Sure, but that is easier said than done. The problem is, many of us disagree on what exactly a 'good life' consists of. Some people think that simply means experiencing pleasure and avoiding pain. In fact the default view promoted to most Americans is that we should seek pleasure, fame, money, love, and that when we have all these things, we will be happy.
Cicero: I see, well lets take a look at money and fame. Can you think of anyone who is very wealthy or famous, in the past or present, and yet is miserable?
Me: Well yes, I can think of many people such as famous celebrities or historical figures who were wealthy or famous, and yet very unhappy with their lives.
Cicero: From this example I think we can say then that money and fame, by themselves and even together, are not sufficient for a good life.
Me: Sure but those things aren't typically sought out as intrinsic goods. Money can only be used as a means to get you other things. Sure some people might think fame is intrinsically good, but others would question that, and only see it as a means to some other end as well. Pleasure on the other hand, is sought out for its own sake.
Cicero: Let us take a look at pleasure then. Can you think of people who simply sought lives of pleasure, and have reported that at the end of that path there is nothing but a hollow emptiness?
Me: Yes, I can think of a few people like that. But couldn't we say that those people simply sought out too much pleasure to the detriment of other things? That they were excessive?
Cicero: Yes indeed, but what would tell them that they are slipping into excess? Pleasure itself would not be able to tell them. Would it not be wisdom that tells them when they have gone too far?
Me: Ok, I think I see your point there. But what about love? Some people would contest that all you actually need in life is love, that love conquers all, etc…
Cicero: This case is no different from the rest. Can you not imagine a case where two individuals lost themselves in mutual love for each other? Do you not recall instances where it is said that people are 'madly' in love with one another, or that love has blinded them? Do you not recall the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet? Do you not think that some additional wisdom on their part would of produced a better outcome in the end for the both of them?
Me: Hmmm ok, then your point here is that everything we do, if we wish to do it correctly, is beholden to wisdom?
Cicero: Yes that is quite my point. Wisdom itself is necessary for happiness, for a good life. Wisdom is useful wherever you are, no matter what situation you find yourself in. The same cannot be said for the rest of these things.
Me: But what do you really mean by wisdom? And how does one become wise? Talking about wisdom like this seems all well and good, but this is all so very abstract. I still have no clue as to what I am actually supposed to do!
Cicero: Your concerns are valid, I will refer you to my friend, Epictetus. He is known for his ideas on practical wisdom, and will be able to answer your questions about this matter more effectively than I could.

Posted on 04/01/2012 5:06:33 AM PDT by Las Vegas Dave
Washington, D.C. (April 1, 2012) -- DIRECTV this morning was forced to remove 23 Tribune-owned local stations and WGN America after the two companies could not reach a new programming agreement.
Tribune issued a statement late Saturday night saying the stations would no longer be available after midnight and early this morning the stations had been pulled. (DIRECTV posted an on-screen message on the Tribune-owned CW affiliate in the Washington, D.C. area that said the blackout would be "temporary" and that stations are sometimes pulled for a short time in programming disputes.)
This situation is extremely unfortunate, Nils Larsen, Tribune Broadcasting's president, said in a statement at the Tribune corporate site. We dont want anyone to lose the valuable programming we provide, but we simply cannot get fair compensation from DIRECTV and we cannot allow DIRECTV to continue taking advantage of us.
As of 4 a.m. ET on Sunday, DIRECTV had not issued a statement responding to the blackout. But the company's Twitter page had acknowledged that the stations had been pulled. (The old agreement between the two sides expired at midnight.)
For DIRECTV, losing Tribune's stations could be a major blow if the blackout lasts more than a few days. Tribune owns Fox and ABC stations in key markets such as New Orleans, Seattle, San Diego and Hartford.
Plus, the broadcaster's WGN carries the Cubs and White Sox baseball games and its CW and My Network affiliates in New York and Philadelphia carry the Mets and Phillies baseball games respectively. DIRECTV's key target audience is sports fans and they don't want to alienate them right as baseball season begins.
As baseball season gets underway, DIRECTVs inflexibility means sports fans in some of our local markets such as Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington, will be deprived of one of baseballs most cherished eventsOpening Day, said Larsen.
The early morning blackout comes after it appeared Saturday afternoon that the two sides had reached a deal. DIRECTV issued a press release stating that it had agreed to Tribune's terms for the 23 local stations and would negotiate a separate deal for WGN America later.
But Tribune soon responded, saying the DIRECTV release was "inaccurate and misleading" and that no deal had been reached.
The old pact between the two companies expired at midnight. By law, a TV provider can not carry a local station or cable channel without its permission.
In addition to WGN America, the Tribune-owned stations include:
Fox affiliates in Sacramento, San Diego, Hartford, Connecticut, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids, Michigan, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Seattle;
The ABC affiliate in New Orleans and the My Network TV affiliate in Philadelphia.
CW affiliates in Los Angeles, Denver, Washington, Waterbury, Connecticut, Miami, Chicago, Bloomington and Kokomo, Indiana, New Orleans, St. Louis, New York, Salem, Dallas and Houston.
Tribune has set up a web site (TellDIRECTV.com) to offer updates on the impasse. DIRECTV has done the same with DIRECTVPromise.com

We went back to antenna after being on cable about 15 years. It's amazing how quickly we adjusted. What we don't get on antenna we get via the web. It's like having everything On-Demand.
I created a webpage on our home intranet that contains links to all of our favorite shows and all the networks I care about. I connect the computer to TV and use a wireless mouse as a remote. I am able get to nearly everything with a click. I doubt I will ever go back to cable TV.
Even though my daughter-in-law works as a customer service rep for Direct TV, we have DishNetwork.

Why don't these people ever think about their customers.

I'm a Red Sox fan and fans never give up. Ever.
Even Cubs fans attack the Cubs. They even write songs attacking the Cubs:
It's cheaper to dump cable-tv and buy a MLB.com subscription.

LMP tunes in to her roots with 'Storm & Grace'
With a little help from T Bone Burnett, Lisa Marie Presley gets back to bluesy-country basics in 'Storm & Grace' and breaks free from outside expectations.
Lisa Marie Presley doesn't seem to mind that everyone in the penthouse office of Simon Fuller's XIX Entertainment in West Hollywood can see her when she extends both of her middle fingers in the direction of a reporter.
She used the gesture to exemplify how she felt about being asked to promote a "sexier image" at one point in her career. But for a woman whose life has been defined by public scrutiny, the move spoke volumes. Presley, 44, is done trying to live up to expectations that aren't her own.
More proof? Her first album in seven years, "Storm & Grace" (out this week) finds Presley singing, "She got no talent of her own, it's just her name," on deluxe-edition track "Sticks and Stones," her voice a painful wail while slide guitars whisk around her like unseen demons. In "Un-Break," Presley wonders whether she was once a "backstabbing liar" and is only getting what she deserves against the sound of shuffling western-gothic grooves.
The album, her first for Universal Republic, may serve as a career reboot, but it also brings her back to her family roots, pairing her dusty, robust vocals with moody country and blues accents made famous by the Sun Studio recording house that captured the voice of her father. The stripped-down affair is produced by T Bone Burnett, an artist with a reputation for possessing a reverential, encyclopedic view of the American songbook.
It's a far cry from Presley's last album — a polished affair marked by glossy, Top 40 guitars and studio-enhanced vocals. "Yeah, I know," Presley interrupts talk about the slick nature of her last release. "I was behind that. I tried to smooth it over, to hide behind it. I wanted louder guitars. I wanted the vocals tripled. All that."
"I was insulated," Presley says of that time, adding that she surrounded herself with a team of friends and employees who told her only what she wanted to hear.
"There was a scene woven around me that I had helped weave," she says. "It was a personal scene -- employees, friends. It was an entourage. That's all a big mistake. It's all the stuff that happens to a typical L.A., high-profile..."
Presley trails off and waves her hand, palm up, as if to say, "You know, that scene." But no one really does. After all, Elvis, the King of Rock 'n' Roll, had but one daughter, and it's not many who see their childhood home in Memphis, Tenn., become an internationally renown tourist attraction. That says nothing of Presley's penchant for dominating the tabloids in her late 20s and early 30s, largely due to her short-lived marriage to Michael Jackson.
After releasing and promoting "Now What," Presley embarked on a research project: herself. While certainly not ignorant of what was said and written about her -- specifically the outside expectations of how she was or wasn't living up to her last name -- Presley says she was shielded from much of it.
"I went through a period where I was so upset at how obscured I had been from all of that," she says. "I intentionally sought out everything bad that was written about me. If you're looking for it, you're going to get it."
"Storm & Grace" gives it right back. First single "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" is a casual statement of defiance, a tough little saunter of a song in which a spiteful Presley talks about bucking the system. Later, the brushed rhythms and echoing chimes of "So Long" seem to emerge from a cemetery fog, with Presley, just above a whisper, telling off "fair-weather friends" and churches that "don't have a soul."
Ask Presley, who once spoke openly and favorably of the Church of Scientology, for more details on her lyrics, and she'll keep things vague. The songs, and particularly the first single, she says, are "about finding out what your mother or your parents or your counselor or your therapist or your teacher or your priest really think about you, and finding out they [don't think highly] of you, actually." Her words, however, were a bit more colorful.
When Burnett heard the track "Un-Break," he agreed to produce the album. "I was struck by how real she was in some of the songs," he says. "It was sung in an incredibly unaffected way. I love when a singer sings like Sinatra, when it's conversational. That's the greatest challenge in singing, and she did that."
The album was brought to Burnett by Fuller, Presley's manager who is best-known for creating the "American Idol" franchise but also works with a host of more idiosyncratic artists, including Annie Lennox and local independent R&B singer Aloe Blacc. It was Fuller who encouraged Presley to retreat to England, where she now lives, and suggested she collaborate on songwriting with Pulp guitarist Richard Hawley and singer-songwriter Ed Harcourt.
Presley says it was a conscious effort to avoid her earlier tendency to "jack up" the production. Though she likes the songs on her first two albums, she was uncomfortable with everything that came along with selling them, and now regrets having been placed "in some category with other pop/rock stars."
"If I'm pushed somewhere," Presley says, "I'll go the other way. So when someone came backstage and told me to dress sexy, I went out and wore giant combat boots and safety pins and did whatever I could to not be sexy."
If the line between Burnett and her father isn't direct, it does exist. Burnett worked with Elvis contemporary Roy Orbison, and recorded with Elvis' TCB Band on records he produced with Elvis Costello.
"I have to say, I very much wanted to make a record her dad would have dug," Burnett says. "That was important to me. I wanted to make a record everybody would dig, but especially him, for some reason. He's such an inspirational figure. She's part of our royal family."
There's no irony, Burnett says, in Presley retreating to England to reconnect with a sound that draws from her roots. He clarifies that she had to "disconnect with those other American roots," the ones that encouraged her to chase pop stardom. Presley phrases it as a search for something she's never really known: normalcy.
"When I moved to England I would hang out at the local pub, and they were such good people there," Presley says. "They knew right from wrong. If someone came in and was drunk and acting like a jerk, they'd get thrown out. There was common sense. I needed to be around people with common sense."

The Democratic left is licking its wounds after a stunning defeat to Donald Trump. The loss is being felt all across the progressive spectrum of politics. Anger has turned to finger-pointing within the Democratic Party. To calm fears and dispel the anger, the Democracy Alliance is holding a three-day summit to address this historic presidential defeat.
The Democracy Alliance thinks that the Democratic party needs to regroup and retool. Exit polls show that Hillary Clinton lost the white working class vote, and the Democratic Party needs to revamp its message to reach these disenfranchised voters. At least, according to George Soros.
George Soros, the billionaire hedge fund manager and mega-donor to the Democratic Party, started the Democracy Alliance back in 2004 in support of John Kerry's bid for the Whitehouse against George W Bush. John Kerry lost that election, but George Soros kept the DA alive. Now, the DA is a group of Democratic mega-donors that fuel the political strategies of the left.
The DA is holding a three-day meeting with some of the biggest donors on the left. The summit will also include established Democratic politicians, such as Elizabeth Warren, Keith Ellison, and Nancy Pelosi. The DA and the donors plan to strategize against the authoritarian future presidency of Donald Trump. Plans will be forged at the summit to derail Trump's agenda for his first 100 days in office. The DA will also help Democrats lay down long-term strategies in opposition to Trump's four-year term.

George Soros' quiet overhaul of the U.S. justice system
George Soros sees Trump's presidency as a threat to Obama's legacy. Trump has publicly stated he will roll back many of Obama's trademark policies, including health care reform, the Iran deal, and the Paris climate change agreement. The DA hopes to rally the troops on the left to protect these historic milestones of the outgoing President.
The summit looks a little suspicious to some, including a few on the left. Far-left politicians, advocates, and pundits accuse the 100 donors that make up the DA of sitting idly by while the Democratic Party burns. On the outside, this summit can look like a bunch of rich white people getting together, snoozing, and enjoying a meal and a party all while the working class of America suffers under Trump's regime.
The many critics on the left want to see the Democratic party retooled with the populism so popular amongst young people; a movement spearheaded by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. But the Democratic establishment and spokespeople for the DA reiterate plans keep the status quo on the left. They believe that a new direction is not needed; that the Democratic Party simply needs a charismatic leader to fire is base up.
The DA is the establishment on the left. Each donor that makes up the DA is required to fund approved left-leaning think tanks or advocacy groups at least $200,000 per year. Each member must also pay $30,000 per year in membership fees to fund the staff of the DA and lavish summits like the one taking place this weekend.

There is no ball dropping in Times Square, no belting of Auld Lang Syne, no confetti or noisemakers, either.
You won't hear a countdown, you won't pop a bottle, and you won't be scanning for a midnight smooch.
But if you're a diehard Padres fan, it feels more like New Year's right now than it will any day on the calendar. The PETCO Park air is teeming with anticipation, and more than anything -- hope.
When it comes to unwavering optimism, Major League Baseball's Opening Day is simply without peer. It is an afternoon or, in this case evening, where past failures retreat to their caves.
The Padres haven't made the postseason since 2006 and, according to Baseball Prospectus, have less than a 23 percent chance of doing so this season.
But that doesn't matter today. Until game No. 1 is officially in the books, doubt has been banned from the premises.
Besides, baseball is the sports world's "24" – it throws nine plot-twists at us every season. A roster may seem invincible, but like anything on paper, is susceptible to crumbling or blowing away with the wind.
Remember when Josh Hamilton joined Albert Pujols and Mike Trout in Anaheim last year to complete the modern-day Murderers' Row? Yeah…the Angels won 78 games. This game isn't about star power, it's about the stars aligning.
That's why, on a day when baseball fans around the country are gazing into the future, Padres fans are invited to peer into the past. Teams have gone from invisibility to playoff participators, even World Series champions, copious times – it's just about believing.
Last year's Red Sox believed. Remember that group? They won an American League East-worst 69 games in 2012 and came back a season later to win the World Series. Then again, the Sox also had the third-highest payroll in baseball, so maybe they're not the best point of reference.
But what about the 2008 Rays? They believed. They believed despite not having lost fewer than 91 games in their franchise's history and having the second-lowest payroll in the Major Leagues. Tampa Bay skyrocketed to the top of the AL East – the most competitive division in baseball – then topped the White Sox and Red Sox in the playoffs before falling to the Phillies in the World Series. That's inspiration.
But was it also an aberration?
The '07 Rockies wouldn't say so. Colorado finished in either fourth or fifth place every season from 1999-2006, but won 21 of its final 22 games in September, steamrolled into the World Series, then eventually fell to the Red Sox.
The '93 Phillies wouldn't say so. They won 70 games the season prior, kept the same roster of grizzled veterans, and then rattled off 97 wins and a National League pennant before Joe Carter and the Blue Jays topped them in the World Series.
There's the '87 Twins, the '69 Mets, the '91 Braves, the '67 Red Sox – all underachievers the previous seasons that vaulted to postseason glory completely undetected.
It happens. It happens more than you think. It just doesn't happen as often as you'd like.
Let's not kid ourselves here. The Padres hardly look domineering. ESPN's baseball guru Buster Olney may have picked them to make the playoffs last month, but injuries are already piling up in an all-too-familiar fashion.
We don't know when outfielder Cameron Maybin will be back. We don't know if Josh Johnson will recover. We don't know if Chase Headley will rediscover his 2012 form or if Carlos Quentin can log 100 games.
We know that the Dodgers have become the National League's ATM, that the Giants have a penchant for surging after a down year, and that there are 29 other teams equally capable of surprises.
But that's irrelevant right now. Opening Day is unique like that.
You think about the future today, and worry about the present tomorrow.

According to the study, up to 64% of healthy US male infants have a section of their penis surgically removed shortly after birth, long before any sense of reasonable informed consent could be hoped for. And because this medically unnecessary procedure is often done with the express consent of the infant's parents, psychologists fear that such early childhood trauma can lead to a lifelong sense of mistrust and apprehension.

The hunted are now the hunters. America's colleges and universities, once the passive processors of whatever applications came their way, have been forced by a shrinking pool of prospective students to turn to aggressive recruitment. The switch in tactics has led to a variety of competitive new approaches to attracting students:
* In Portland, Ore., this fall 20 students will be attending Lewis and Clark College on newly instituted merit scholarships - awards based on academic performance and community service rather than financial need. The scholarships were begun in part to ''address increased competition,'' according to director of admissions Robert H. Loeb III.
* Boston College has turned a relatively humble networking program of three years ago into a pyramid of 3,000 alumni who contact virtually every candidate in the applicant pool, 600 students who visit their former high schools on vacation, and 100 faculty members who attend parent-student receptions organized by 90 separate councils around the country - all topped off by an enlarged staff of 28 admissions specialists.
The new marketing strategy is responsible ''in large measure'' for effectively doubling the number of applications per year to BC over the past 10 years, according to Charles Nolan, director of admissions.
* Business at the The Ingersoll Group, an education consulting firm in Denver , Colo., has increased 75 percent over a year ago. Ronald Ingersoll, the company's president, estimates that 60 to 70 percent of colleges and universites are now involved in some type of marketing, up from roughly 25 percent five years ago - and up from virtually no such activity 10 years ago.
''The whole admissions profession has changed from that of gatekeeper to market analyst, enrollment specialist, and planner,'' says Joseph A. Merante, director of admissions and student aid at the University of Pittsburgh and a leading authority on admissions.
Historically, it has not been until after a student applied to a college that the wheels of an admissions office began to turn. But the application process is no longer the first step. Now institutions are researching first, identifying the students they want and then communicating with them - often on a one-to-one basis.
The reason for the varied new approaches to marketing and admissions is the decline in the number of college-aged young people. Close to 1 million fewer students are expected to be enrolled full time at colleges and universities in the late 1980s than were enrolled last year. The same number of colleges chasing fewer potential students has meant schools have had to scramble to maintain enrollment levels - or, in the cases of some prestigious schools, to avoid lowering their high standards.
Smith College in Northampton, Mass., chose to pare this year's entering class by 10 percent in anticipation of the enrollment crunch that is likely to peak in the mid-1980s. Officials at the school plan to keep total enrollment at previous levels by expanding exchange programs and increasing the number of older, ''nontraditional'' students.
Many of the schools trying the marketing approach have experienced a marked improvement in their recruiting efforts. By targeting specific groups of students, for example, the University of Pittsburgh has increased its applications by 30 percent over the last five years - and the quality of students has risen also.
In addition to marketing consultants, a number of schools are hiring new admissions and financial-aid personnel with marketing backgrounds. Others are training admissions officers in such skills as publications and research, areas previously outside the purview of admissions offices.
One positive outgrowth of the marketing trend in higher education is that it forces schools to clarify just what it is they are trying to do as an institution. That's because ''the first step in marketing a school is defining what the product is,'' Mr. Ingersoll says.
While some colleges are concerned about sullying their reputations by bidding for the most attractive students the way big-time football schools have long vied for linebackers, the demographic trends affect virtually all schools and leave them little choice.
One of the more controversial ramifications of the new competition between schools is the rise in merit scholarships, scholarships for academically strong students, whether or not they need financial help.
In 1976, roughly 50 to 70 percent of schools awarded merit scholarships. That figure has now risen to over 80 percent, according to Betsy Porter, director of financial aid at the University of Pittsburgh who, along with a colleague, conducted a financial-aid survey of 800 colleges last year. The survey found that 53 percent of the respondents plan to increase no-need scholarships over the next five years.
Opponents of merit scholarships argue that such awards take money out of the pockets of those who can least afford to go to college and put it in the hands of mostly middle-class youngsters who, they say, have the means to afford college without such grants.
Merit scholarships awarded by individual colleges and univerities are different from National Merit Scholarships, which are administered by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. The corporation's scholarships are relatively few in number, compared with those now being offered by colleges nationwide.
It used to be the only profit made on illegal drugs in schools was pocketed by teen-age pushers working the hallways. No more. Now it's the schools themselves in Cataret County, N.C., who are cashing in on the illegal trade. In the past the schools were recipients of limited funds from fines levied in a local court. But a recent drug bust netted a whopping $350,000 in fines, all of which will be going to the North Carolina schools.

This week I spent 3 days down in London training on anew exciting tool we're implementing at work. Of course, when training finished at 5pm it was then my time to hit as many shops as possible before they close!
Just round the corner from where I was staying was Morplan – a shop I've order online from before. Great for all your sewing equipment like Patternmasters and Set Squares. They sell the most beautiful dressmakers mannequins I can find in the UK. But at £700 for a K&L, I just took away a photograph instead!
I then ran down Oxford St to catch 10 minutes of MacCullock & Wallis. Was a bit disappointed as I was greeted with a moody voice saying "we're closing, you'll have to be quick" and I thought "yeah I know…I'm out of breath from running here and theres 15 minutes of shopping time left!" But anyway, the shop was beautiful and you could easily spend hours mooching through the 2 floors.
On my second erectile dysfunction night I visited Liberty which is just beautiful…the pictures speak for themselves -
I've now got my eye on some stunning John Paul Gaultier fabric for my living room…how nice is this…!
I love shopping in the designer and vintage sections as you can pick apart unusual tailoring and learn lots. The ball gowns as SO heavy and the blue Chanel dress was effortlessly constructed.
Stella McCartney pleats and Carven dresses are on my imaginary shopping list.
And finally I fell in love with an Urban Outfitters coat and floaty vintage dress in Top Shop. Could have spent a LOT of money but remained very sensible.
It was great to get all inspired before my Oscar dress challenge this weekend.
I've set myself a task to watch the Oscars and then work through the night and the next day to complete a version of one of the most photographed dresses. Wish me luck!
Or get in touch if you're doing the same thing

I believe I have it priced to pick up today. If interested, please contact me. Thanks.

Fast food chains often need to run short promotions to extend their market appeal at different times of the year. Just like the clothing industry, the fast food industry also has its fashions and must constantly offer new items to retain customer interest.
Fast food companies regularly approach Wisemate Foods with a theme for their next promotion; let's say for example, Winter Warmers. Wisemate Foods then produces a number of fast food sauces or marinades to accompany this theme, tailored to match the particular variety of cuisine involved, whether it be burgers, chicken or noodles.
The Fast Food company's product development managers then sample the sauce or marinade and decide their preferences. They might wish to tweak the sauce a little – Can we have this taste, but more viscosity? or We loved the taste and consistency, but we want it spicier overall. Wisemate Foods adjusts the fast food sauce accordingly until the client is satisfied with both product and price.
Fast food sauces can be packaged in bulk containers of 5 kg which can be decanted in-store into squeeze bottles. Or for an extra cost, sauces can be packaged directly into 1 Litre squeeze bottles.
In-house design and printing of labels by Wisemate Foods ensures a faster turn-around, enabling orders to be met on time and at short notice.
Fast food chains require suppliers who can guarantee product safety and reliability. Wisemate Foods is fully compliant with independently audited HACCP requirements and has a comprehensive food safety programme which includes regular external auditing by various agencies.

Then click the Install Now button, and after a few seconds, your new theme should be installed. Click activate and the theme is ready to use.
TIP: A more visual guide can be found here.
In order to install the theme manually, or in case you have trouble installing it through the admin panel, you have to unzip the WordPress theme's zip file on your computer, and upload via FTP the resulting theme folder into your WordPress installation themes folder (wp-content/themes). Then, from the WordPress admin go to Appearance > Themes. The theme should be available in your themes list. Click activate.

Useful Plugins
These plugins provide functionality and features used directly (or not) by the Theme. So, it is recommended to install and activate them before importing your sample content.
- Contact Form 7 use this plugin to create a contact form, then copy the shortcode it gives you and paste it in a page which will serve as your contact page.
- WP Instagram Widget: Use this plugin to help you display your Instagram feed in any of the theme's sidebars.
- WordPress Jetpack: You can use this to create a contact form instead of Contact Form 7, insert sharing buttons, create tiled galleries etc.
- One Click Import : Use this plugin to help you import your content with just one click.
Importing Sample Content using One Click Import
To automate the process of importing and for a better experience we have natively included support for OneClick Import Plugin. Let install it fist:
From your WordPress dashboard
- Visit 'Plugins > Add New',
- Search for 'One Click Demo Import' and install the plugin,
- Activate 'One Click Demo Import' from your Plugins page.
From WordPress.org
- Download 'One Click Demo Import'.
- Upload the 'one-click-demo-import' directory to your '/wp-content/plugins/' directory, using your favorite method (ftp, sftp, scp, etc…)
- Activate 'One Click Demo Import' from your Plugins page.
Once the plugin is activated you will find the actual import page in: Appearance > Import Demo Data.
Click on the Import demo data button and you are done!
This plugin requires PHP version of at least 5.3.x, but we recommend version 5.6.x or better yet 7.x. Please contact your hosting company and ask them to update the PHP version for your site.
Importing sample content manually
To get the sample content file you can click the link in the notice that will appear on your dashboard immediately after activating the theme.
Extract the zip file you downloaded and upload the xml file in Tools > Import > WordPress (if not already present, you will be prompted to install the WordPress importer plugin), assing the authors to an existing user and make sure you check the "import attachments" box. You can now import the sample content.
You can also download the Sample Content by clicking here
Importing widgets
You can also import the widgets you see on the theme's demo. To do that, you need the Widget Importer & Exporter plugin. To install it go to Plugins > Add new search for widget importer exporter and install the plugin. Activate it and go to Tools > Widget Importer & Exporter click choose file and upload the suisen_widgets.wie file which is located in the sample content zip file, click Import widgets and you are good to go.
WARNING: As this will create posts, pages, custom post types, categories, widgets, etc. and change various system settings, it is strongly advised that you do this on a clean WordPress installation, without any previous and/or precious data. Under no circumstances we can be held responsible for total or partial data loss, so please be careful.
To enable eCommerce functionality for your website you need to install and activate the WooCommerce plugin by WooThemes. You can download the plugin free of charge from the WordPress Plugin Repository. For installation and usage instructions please refer to the plugin's documentation.
Once you have installed and activated the WooCommerce plugin please install its pages by clicking on the button that WooCommerce provides on its banner. This will likely create a duplicate of some pages along with the pages installed by the sample content but its a needed step. You can delete the old pages that came with the sample content or use them instead by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Display and assign them anew.
Setting up your theme
1) Populating your blog

- add a title to your post,
- enter the content in the editor,
- add a category and/or tag to the post,
- upload a featured image by clicking "Set featured image" on the Featured Image panel,

2) Customizing the appearance
All theme customization is done via WordPress's built in customizer. If you haven't used it or want to learn more about it, please read this article.
Go to Appearance > Customize and you will see this
TIP: any changes you make in the tabs below will be previewed live on the site which appears in right side of the screen, however to save these changes you need to click the Save & Publish button on the top of the bar, if you have made a change but see the button grayed out (for example changed the font size of a heading), move the cursor outside the input box, for example, to the next input box, then the button should be clickable again.
Let's take a look at the options each tab gives you.
Here you can create and assign menus to the theme. The theme features one menu location, the main menu one. To learn more about menu creation check out the Codex's menu user guide here.
Site Identity
In this tab you can modify the site's title, tagline, logo and site icon.
Layout Options
Here you can select the number of words in the automatic excerpt, select pagination style, toggle product title and layout and enable the masonry effect.
Content Colors
Are you looking to create your own unique color scheme? This tab will help you do it by allowing you to modify the colors of many elements of the content. To do that click the Select Color button and either use a hex color value in the box or use the palette to select a color.
Through this tab you can add widgets to the theme's sidebars. The theme features three sidebars, the homepage one and two pre-footer sidebars.
Social Networks
Here you can fill in the URLs to your various social network profiles supported by the theme. You can display them in a sidebar by using the Theme – Social Icons widget.
Posts Options
Here you can toggle various aspects of the single post and post listings, like the appearance of categories, tags, date, comments, social sharing etc.
Footer Options
Here you can modify the footer text.
Static Front Page
Use this tab to make the Home page your static front page so you can take advantage of the homepage template we have created for you.
In this tab we host the custom CSS panel which you can use to insert styles for elements not covered in the rest of the tabs. Also here you can set the Google Analytics ID to get statistics on your site.
Theme pages
The Home page
To create your home page, create a page named Home and apply to it the Homepage Template to it.
The blog page
To create a post listing page, create a new page named Blog and publish it.
Setting the static pages
Once we have created the two pages above you need to set them as default. To do that go to Settings > Reading and configure them as shown below.
The contact page
To create a contact page similar to the one found on the theme's demo, you can create a new page, name it Contact and use the Contact Form 7 plugin to help you create a contact form, then paste the shortcode it provides in the page's text editor, publish and you are done.
Along with WordPress's widgets we have created 4 custom ones. You can see them below.
You will find a small description in each widget detailing its usage.
How to use the latest posts widget
The Theme – Latest Posts widget will help you display your posts on the front page. Let's take a look at how to use it.
We start by adding a title to the widget, next we select a post category to display on it (leaving the option empty will display posts from all categories), below we can select whether we want our posts to appear at random (default is by date from newest to oldest) and how many posts we want to display on the widget. Finally you can choose to make the first item appear bigger by checking the corresponding box.
Excluding post categories from the widget
As mentioned above, if we don't select a post category on the widget it will display posts from all categories. We can exclude some of them if we wish. In the example above we created a widget which pulls posts from the style category, now lets create another one, which displays posts from all categories apart from the style one.
as you can see it's very easy, we just tick the box to exclude the category we want and we are done.
Recreating the demo's homepage layout
If you chose not to import the default widgets, but still want to recreate the homepage layout of the theme's demo, let's have a look on how you can achieve it.
The Homepage sidebar
Under Customize > Widgets you can access the homepage sidebar, let's take a look at the widgets used on the theme's demo:
- Text – a text widget with some introductory text.
- Theme – Post Type Items displaying four WooCommerce products.
- Text – a text widget with some text.
- Theme – Product Category Images displaying the images of two product categories.
- Theme – Post Type Items displaying five WooCommerce products.
TIP: Info on how to use the latest posts widget can be found in the widgets section here.
How to use the page builder template
The theme comes bundled with a page builder template which allows you to use your favorite page builder plugin on it and create unique layouts very easily.
To use that template start by going to Pages > Add New. This will create a new page. Add a title to your page and select the Page builder template from the template drop down in the Page Attributes metabox.
That's it. You can now start building your page using the page builder of your choice, once done publish it and check it out.

Remakes don't kill creativity: Srinivas Mangam
Srinivas Mangam's forthcoming Telugu comedy Pusthakamlo Konni Pageelu Missing is a remake of Tamil comedy Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanomregional movies Updated: Jun 11, 2013 14:21 IST
Srinivas Mangam's forthcoming Telugu comedy Pusthakamlo Konni Pageelu Missing is a remake of Tamil comedy Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom. He says if remakes use the soul of the original story then creativity is not compromised. "It's a misconception that remakes kill creativity. There is absolutely nothing like that as long as a remake uses the soul of the original story," Srinivas told IANS.
"Our film is not a frame-to-frame copy of its Tamil version. We only picked the soul from the original and made so many changes to it. We even included commercial elements such as songs and comedy tracks," he added. Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom was one of the highly successful low-budget Tamil films of 2012. Made on a budget of under Rs.1 crore, the film reportedly raked in over Rs.7 crore at the box-office.
In the original version, starring Vijay Sethupathi, there were no songs, but it was two hours and 35 minutes long. The Telugu version, however, has been shortened by nearly 20 minutes. Srinivas, plays a character that suffers from short term memory loss in the film, which is directed by Sajid Qureshi. He didn't see the Tamil version, but his family did.
"I didn't watch the film because I didn't want Vijay's acting style to have an influence on my acting," said Srinivas, who agreed to work in the remake after his family saw the original. "My family members saw the Tamil version of the film and told me that I would perfectly fit into the role. I was aware of the success of the film in Tamil and, therefore, agreed to do it," he added.
Pusthakamlo Konni Pageelu Missing, which was completed in 34 days, is currently undergoing post-production work at a brisk pace. It is slated for a July release.
