If Clang is invoked also with -Xclang -ast-dump options, it'll dump its internal representation of the compiled source. Which can be pretty useful when the source code doesn't actually mean what one expects, or if there's something unexpected from elsewhere interfering. Consider the following (simple, for clarity) example:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class A
class B
operator A() const { return A(); }
class C
: public B
void foo( const A& )
cout << "A" << endl;
void foo( B& )
cout << "B" << endl;
int main()
foo( C());
Looking only at class C, it may perhaps come as a surprise to some that this prints "A" and not "B". And overlooking the missing const or not knowing that it will prevent passing the temporary to the function certainly helps with the surprise, but even if not, still, so what is actually going on? With larger codebase, that can be a lot of time to find out. But finding out what the compiler thinks about the code can help:
$ clang++ -Wall a.cpp -Xclang -ast-dump
`-FunctionDecl 0x90ffb90 <line:29:1, line:32:5> main 'int (void)'
`-CompoundStmt 0x9100078 <line:30:5, line:32:5>
`-CallExpr 0x90fffb8 <line:31:5, col:13> 'void'
|-ImplicitCastExpr 0x90fffa8 <col:5> 'void (*)(const class A &)' <FunctionToPointerDecay>
| `-DeclRefExpr 0x90fff74 <col:5> 'void (const class A &)' lvalue Function 0x90fec80 'foo' 'void (const class A &)'
`-MaterializeTemporaryExpr 0x9100068 <col:10, col:12> 'const class A' lvalue
`-ImplicitCastExpr 0x9100058 <col:10, col:12> 'const class A' <NoOp>
`-ImplicitCastExpr 0x9100048 <col:10, col:12> 'class A' <UserDefinedConversion>
`-CXXMemberCallExpr 0x9100028 <col:10, col:12> 'class A'
`-MemberExpr 0x9100008 <col:10, col:12> '<bound member function type>' .operator A 0x90fe740
`-ImplicitCastExpr 0x90ffff8 <col:10, col:12> 'const class B' <UncheckedDerivedToBase (B)>
`-CXXTemporaryObjectExpr 0x90ffdd8 <col:10, col:12> 'class C' 'void (void)' zeroing
Knowing a bit about how compilers work helps a lot, but even without it this is quite simple to read. From bottom to up, there's a temporary object of class C created and it's cast to its base class B. That's the expected part, the unexpected part is the 3 AST nodes up, which show that the object is converted to class A by a user defined conversion using operator A(). Which, as the rest of this part of the AST dump shows, results in calling foo( const A& ). Mystery solved.
(Fun trivia: I once helped a GCC developer to disentangle a problem in a complex C++ testsuite using this. But don't tell anyone ;) . )

Mayor Charles Crowley says it's unacceptable that eight months after an arsonist set fire to City Hall's attic that no one to date has been identified as a suspect.
Now the mayor has taken up his pen, so to speak, to get his point across to those officials involved in the investigation.
Mayor Charles Crowley says it's unacceptable that eight months after an arsonist set fire to City Hall's attic that no one to date has been identified as a suspect.
Now the mayor has taken up his pen, so to speak, to get his point across to those officials involved in the investigation.
Crowley on Wednesday e-mailed a formal letter of complaint to State Fire Marshall Stephen Coan and Kenneth Melson, acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' Boston Field Division.
In it, he writes that "(o)n behalf of the citizens of Taunton, I respectfully and emphatically request that your agencies step up your efforts to bring to justice the person or persons responsible for destroying our government operations center known as Taunton City Hall."
As a direct result of last summer's smoky, fourth-floor blaze, the City Hall building at 15 Summer St. remains closed — with most city departments having relocated to a temporary site inside the former Maxham School on Oak Street.
Crowley's letter was also forwarded to Taunton Fire Chief Timothy Bradshaw and Taunton Police Chief Edward Walsh, both of whose departments conducted independent investigations of the Aug. 17 blaze.
The mayor said he included those two departmental heads "as a courtesy; it's not a criticism."
Crowley on Wednesday also e-mailed a less formal letter to Bristol County District Attorney Sam Sutter, state Attorney General Martha Coakley and Taunton's nine city councilors.
"My patience and the patience of the citizens of Taunton are wearing thin. Please take any action you can on this matter," that letter concludes.
Crowley also expresses "frustration that the culprit who set fire to our Taunton City Hall has not been brought to justice."
Although the DA's office is not involved in the investigation, Crowley said Sutter is well aware of his frustration and, because of his stature as district attorney, could possibly exert some measure of influence.
"We need to shake things up," Crowley said.
In the case of Coakley — whose office also is not involved in the arson investigation — Crowley said a recent AG investigation that garnered a maelstrom of media attention personifies how law-enforcement priorities can sometimes be skewed.
The mayor said it's frustrating that an AG investigation into the legal standing of two so-called Internet cafés, owned by Fall River city councilor Leo Pelletier, gets so much publicity, while at the same time Taunton's City Hall arson is put on a backburner.
"Which of the two is more of a danger to society? Leo's little machines in his café or finding the person who set fire to a publicly owned, municipal building?" Crowley said.
It wasn't until Jan. 6, nearly five months after the fire, that the state's Executive Office of Public Safety and Security department of Fire Services announced that an arsonist was responsible.
Calls seeking comment left for state fire marshall Coan and Fire Chief Bradshaw were not immediately returned. Police Chief Walsh, when contacted, said that he had not yet read the mayor's letter.
No one was injured as a result of the City Hall fire. And although it was quickly extinguished, resulting smoke and water damage left the building's infrastructure severely compromised, according to officials.
Crowley, who is not seeking a second term as mayor, has insisted that City Hall should be repaired — despite estimates running as high as $10 million for renovating and redesigning the building to comply with Americans With Disabilities requirements.
A meeting between himself, consultants to the city and the company under which City Hall is insured will be held next week, Crowley said.
"We're very close (to a settlement)," he said. "Hopefully we'll be able to finalize an agreement."

Don't freak out. Just look at these tacos and breathe.
First of all, I need you to know that the vegetarian train has officially derailed for now. This is because I keep finding wonderfully fresh and locally grown meats. Guys, this is a big deal for us Big Islanders! In years past it has been next to impossible to find meat that hadn't been shipped here from the mainland.
So, that leads us to beef tongue. Don't freak out. It's grass fed, affordable, and easy to prepare. But mainly, I needed to satisfy my curiosity.
A little like pot roast, my only gripe is its overly soft texture. I was glad I'd opted to stuff the shredded tongue in tacos so there was a variety of textures. Major bonus is the cost of this cut of meat, one tongue could easily feed a family of six for $3.00 (Hawaii prices). Just don't tell them what it is, they'll never know.
Shredded Beef Tongue Tacos
serves at least 6
1 beef tongue
1 yellow onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 bay leaf
1 tsp chili pasilla molido (or other mild chili powder)
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1 TBL cumin
salt and pepper
taco fixins: tortillas, cabbage, tomatoes, salsa, avocado, beans, whatever you like
Rinse the beef tongue and pat dry with a paper towel. Rub well with chili powders, cumin, and salt and pepper.
Place chopped onion and garlic in a slow cooker. Rest tongue on top of onions. Add water until it just covers the tongue. Add the bay leaf and another TBL or so of salt. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
When the tongue is finished cooking (it will be soft when pierced with a fork) move it to a cutting board and remove the outer "skin" with a paring knife. This was very easy, it just peels right off. With the knife and a fork, begin shredding the meat but pulling in a downward motion with the fork.
Drain off the liquid in the slow cooker, but don't throw it out! Save it for a soup base or use as stock. Add shredded beef back into the slow cooker with the onion and garlic and mix. Discard the bay leaf.
Use shredded beef as a filling for tacos, we ate it with black beans, cabbage, avocado, tomato, and cilantro. Simple and delicious. Enjoy!

The Sorry State of US Politics
The Sorry State of Politics in the US
Last week I wrote a hub about the sorry state of the Republican party in the US. Today it is my turn for a shot at most all politicians. The Democratic party seems to really hunger to get back into power, and then once they grasp the majority, they seem to be clueless on getting anything done with it.
Yes, I know Obamacare passed, and a few other things. There are things the Dems have been hungering to do when they got the majority, and those things will seemingly wait till the next time around, if they have someone with a clue in charge of the party.
Obamacare is so watered down, the only people who are getting "care" will be the insurance companies. The medical lobby basically wrote this bill, and God knows what it really will mean to the average american besides higher taxes.
I personally love my medicare plan, and I envisioned government health care to be something like that, but it would seem to be far from it.
I understand the world would change after 9/11, but pretty much all of the rights that Bush temporarily took away under the Patriot Act have been extended under Obama.
Almost every politician has his special interest, and that would not be the people who are in their home district, but the business or PAC that donates to his re-election. Our senator recently voted against a bill that would have benefited his own district with jobs, but then it turned out their competitor employed two of his own family members as lobbyists.
We need to find a way to get our representatives out of the pockets of the lobbyists.
Charles Rangel
It seems like with both parties, the "next" big scandal is always ready to break. What is it with politicians, when they get some power, and could possibly end up with more, they either have to stop paying taxes, start fondling interns, or cheat on their wives? I know, power and corruption seem to go hand in hand.
Charles Rangel had no clue he had to pay taxes? Doesn't every US citizen have to file a tax return unless their income is so low they don't have to?
John Edwards probably had a good shot at the presidency this last time around, then he had to fall in love with his photographer? This really looked good for him with a wife who had terminal cancer.
We need to really take a hard look at the system and figure out who needs to go, and get them gone. I don't know if term limits are the answer or what?
I know for every 20 no good politicians we get rid of, there will be a few good ones lost in the mix, so maybe term limits are not the answer.
I know I have talked about Sarah Palin before, but is it really a good idea for her to be lecturing people about the constitution when she really has no idea what it says? I know, I am the first to admit that I am no constitutional scholar, but the First Amendment protects our freedom of speech from reprisals of the government. It doesn't mean we can say whatever we like in our workplace without the chance of being fired. It does not mean we can say whatever we like without being criticized.
I find it a sad commentary on the government and politics in general when we get all our information in sound bytes from media that twists things to fit an agenda.
I know immigration right now is a big red button topic, and people are swearing armed insurrection if amnesty is offered. I may be wrong here, but didn't Reagan and Bush II both offer amnesty to illegal aliens?

Do you remember the musical "The Sound of Music"? I was really young the first time I watched it and I remember thinking "Wow, this movie is really…long." I watched it again a few months back and absolutely loved it! Not only were the characters loveable but the songs they sang such as "The Sound of Music" and "My favourite things" were catchy and melodious. So you could imagine how excited I felt when I found this vid on YouTube that sang the steps of glycolysis in the same tune that Maria and the children sang "Do-Re-Mi". Take a look!
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate and it occurs in the cytosol of the cell. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy compounds ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).
There are 10 enzyme reactions in total and two phases, the energy investment phase and the energy generation phase. In the energy investment phase, there are 2 irreversible reactions and 3 reversible, while in the energy generation phase there is only 1 irreversible and 4 reversible enzyme reactions.
Here is a pic I found that may help you remember the structures if you learn better with food in mind! 🙂
Photo Credit (http://llifi-kei.deviantart.com/art/Glycolysis-before-lunch-101607430)
The first time I found this vid was when I was learning glycolysis for my CAPE examinations and now it can still help me with my university studies as well! When learning the song, I found myself swaying from side to side and closing my eyes while singing (I was really into it XD). It really was a life saver for me because I always used to have trouble learning the steps of any chemical process if there were more than 5 steps involved lol. I have terrible memory. I've come to realize that my love for music can aid in my school work, I mean, if I can remember all the lyrics to Rihanna's "Pour it Up" then why can't I learn these steps in the same way right?
The video layout is creative with colourful drawings and diagrams plus the singer, Jenny Scoville Walsh, had a lovely voice that complemented the song very well. The steps were all in the correct order and the intro to the video explained very well some of the steps in the process of digestion.
The only things that I wish the video included in the song were the enzymes associated with each step of the breakdown of glucose for example, glucose >glucose 6-phosphate is catalyzed by the enzyme Hexokinase. I also would've liked that the step in which dihydroxyacetone phosphate is quickly converted to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate would've been musically added to the song instead of just being put into brackets in the video. Other than that, the video is very well made and I recommend that you share it with others who would like a fun and easy way to remember the steps in glycolysis. Who knows, you might find yourself rocking out to the song just like this:
Have a safe and happy Easter!

Most recently , I've added a new member to my little one man show. His name's Otto. A german shepherd & bulldog/boxer mix (still trying to figure that one out).
He's a charming little bugger but definitely has some inbred demon. Demanding as can be and a real people person. In fact, he's what some have called a "babe magnet" which to be honest, I don't mind in the least!
Anyways, he's the biggest news recently. If you're interested in more Otto pics, point your browser to this. Enjoy !!

KGB searches apartment of Nina Shydlouskaya
A search is being held in the apartment of one of the leaders of the World Association of Belarusians Backawscyna (Fatherland) Nina Shydlouskaya.
The search started while the owner of the apartment was absent, http://community.livejournal.com/minsk_by informs.
During the latest presidential election campaign Nina Shydlouskaya was a press-secretary of the former candidate for presidency, presently a political prisoner Alexander Kazulin.
'I have been explained that the search is being held according to a decree related to the case opened after blast on 4 July in the night. My husband and I and his parents live in this apartment. The search has been finished already, and now we are waiting for my husband. After that we are to be acquainted with a record and learn what would be seized from the apartment,' Nina Shydlouskaya said to RFE/RL.
- How have they explained the reasons for the search?
- They said possibly some things or something else directly or indirectly related to the blast could be found.
- Were they interested in you, your husband or his parents?
- My husband's name, Miraslau Lazouski, is put in the protocol.
- What is your husband?
- He works as a procurement engineer in a commercial firm.
- Did he or his parents have any relation to explosive matters or explosive devices?
- No, never. They didn't have either. I am sorry, but I am asked to stop talking. Goodbye.

I'm using SQL Server Profiler to trace application activity, but the Profiler logs aren't showing some commands that I know the application issued. Is Profiler reliable? Why is it missing commands?
Profiler is reliable. To understand the behavior you're seeing, you need to differentiate between Profiler, which is simply a GUI client application, and SQL Trace, which refers to a collection of server-side components that collect the events and data columns you want to see. Profiler makes using SQL Trace easy by providing a GUI wrapper, but you can use T-SQL to call the underlying SQL Trace procedures and functions without using the GUI.
The case of the missing events you describe is a result of a Microsoft design decision to minimize the risk of the Profiler GUI significantly degrading server performance. Occasionally, the Profiler GUI client can't consume the information it's tracing fast enough to receive and display all of the trace events. Rather than slow down SQL Server or run the risk of capturing only intermittent commands (which would be worse than an explicit warning that Profiler has paused the trace), Profiler stops producing events until it can read all existing events from the Profiler queue. Event production starts again when Profiler catches up.
You'll know that the Profiler GUI has paused if you see an entry within the Profiler Message EventClass that has the TextData value Some trace events have not been reported to SQL Profiler because the server has reached its maximum amount of available memory for the process. Note that SQL Server Books Online (BOL) doesn't document the Profiler Message EventClass. The correct integer value for the class in SQL Server 2000 is 57. You'll need this value if you load a trace file into SQL Server for detailed analysis. (The behavior of Profiler in SQL Server 7.0 is different, and this information applies specifically to SQL Server 2000.)
How can you avoid missing events? Two solutions let SQL Server capture all events, even under a heavy load. You can write the trace output to a file and select the GUI check box Server processes SQL Server trace data, or you can write the output to a SQL Server table. Writing the data to a SQL Server table imposes a heavier performance load than simply writing to a file, so I usually write to a file.
This problem and its solutions aren't well documented, but you can see how the exact T-SQL calls that implement this behavior work by using one Profiler instance to trace how another Profiler instance creates and runs a server-side trace. Using the Profiler GUI to write trace data to a file with the Server processes SQL Server trace data option enabled causes Profiler to create and run two separate traces. One trace captures data as a rowset for display in the Profiler GUI; the second trace writes data to the file. However, running two traces to capture the same information is inefficient, so consider running the T-SQL trace commands directly on the server.
The trace that displays data in the Profiler GUI might not capture all the events that you request, but the trace data that a server-side trace writes to the file will capture all the events. How many events might the display trace miss? I recently ran a heavily stressed Profiler test that lasted 15 seconds. The Profiler GUI captured 23,718 rows, and the trace file captured 93,839 rows—which means the Profiler GUI lost 70,121 events. In just 15 seconds, this example generated 1,011 separate events that indicated that Profiler output had temporarily paused.
The Profiler GUI is a wonderful tool for doing simple tests. However, when you have a heavy load, always process it through the server and write the results to a file or a SQL Server table. Otherwise, you'll likely miss key events.

Jeb Bush just reminded everyone that he knew the score.
On Friday, the former GOP presidential candidate publicly recalled his earlier warning to voters over a possible Donald Trump presidency.
?When I ran for office, I said he is a chaos candidate and would be a chaos president,? Bush told the annual SALT hedge fund conference in Las Vegas, reports CNN. ?Unfortunately, so far chaos organizes the presidency right now.?
Bush made his initial ?chaos? comment during a Republican primary debate in December 2015, in which he also said Trump was ?great at one-liners.?
In Vegas, the former Florida Gov. also suggested that Trump?s administration was ?living in the tyranny of the moment? rather than pursuing and carrying out a fixed and clear agenda, reports the network.
And Bush urged Trump to stop tweeting, claiming that the president?s posts may give America?s adversaries critical insider knowledge of the administration.

This is now serious. Eli Manning is no longer in a slump. It's a full-fledged plummet. Threw 46 times, longest completion for only 16 yards, two interceptions, one lost fumble, no TDs yet again. This time, protection (four sacks) a big issue. Hakeem Nicks (9-75) more in swing of things, but Victor Cruz (3-26) not and also dropped sure-fire TD. One big, fat mess. F
Blown coverage in first couple of minutes led to painfully easy 56-yard TD for A.J. Green, who was correct about holes in this defense. Andy Dalton turned into right-handed Boomer Esiason with career-high four TD passes and not sacked or breathed on all day. Run-stopping was fine and field position was lousy, but no forced turnovers and no plays made on back end. D
Steve Weatherford hit a great 61-yard punt out of bounds. Perfect. But Justin Tryon was penalized for running out of bounds. Re-punt, 59-yarder down the middle returned 68 yards by Adam Jones. So it goes. There's no more magic on David Wilson's kickoff returns. Lawrence Tynes with two more short FGs. C-
Tom Coughlin said afterward he has to take a look at himself for the way he prepared his team for this stinker. He won't like what he sees. Credit Kevin Gilbride for at least changing things up with no-huddle and short passing game. Didn't work a lick, though. Communication breakdowns still plague Perry Fewell's defense. F

The Promoting Community Cybersecurity (PCCS) course is designed to give participants an introduction to cybersecurity topics, methods, and processes, and to explore organizational responsibilities in the context of the community, state and nation. The course provides an overview of the steps taken within organizations to protect their cyber resources. The course also looks at that protection within the context of the broader community. Participants will explore the impact of the interconnections and dependencies introduced by information technology. Basic concepts of of cybersecurity, network connectivity, threats, types of attacks, and the structure of the Community Cybersecurity Maturity Model (CCSMM) will be discussed. The basic characteristics of communities and organizations that exhibit good cybersecurity are examined through the use of case studies within the context of each CCSMM dimension. In addition, the interrelationships between the dimensions of the CCSMM and the dependency on each dimension for good cybersecurity are also discussed.
Course Objectives
At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to:
Recognize various types of cyber threats and attacks.
Identify the dimensions and general structure of the CCSMM.
Recognize failures and successes in each of the CCSMM dimensions.
Identify how to improve those dimensions within their own community and/or organization.

"2017 will see brands move to more specialization, visualization, personalization, and humanization in their content marketing programs and approaches".
Michael Brenner — CEO of Marketing Insider Group, and co-author of The Content Formula.
At The Think Collective, we keep a keen eye on TrendWatching, Forbes and the latest global trend analysis. This ensures that we keep ahead of the curve when giving marketing advice to entrepreneurs and startups.
2016 was certainly a year that will go down in history. In response, customer expectations in 2017 will favour innovations that have a positive impact in a world of political and economic turmoil; simplify complexity; and give consumers a better sense of stability and self.
2017 is going to be an exciting year as brands disrupt markets by creatively harnessing and streamlining major advances in technology (AI, AR, VR, live streaming and cloud adoption).
Let's look at some of the predicted innovation/technology, marketing and consumer trends for next year.
"AI stands to become one of the most disruptive forces in the IT world" (Forbes, 2017)
AI can now collaboratively work with human professionals to solve complex problems. Tractica, August 2016, predicted that users of virtual assistants are set to rise from 390 million to 1.8 billion worldwide by 2021. Our last blogfeatured another impressive example: the futuristic Taiwanese product GliaStudio which automatically creates video summaries of text articles using artificial intelligence (AI).
The New York Times Bestselling Author Roger James Hamilton, recently posted a series of top trends for 2017. The rise of Renaissance 2.0 is all about customisation of products, services and experiences. With the rise in conscious spending, customers are increasingly valuing quality over quantity. He explains: "All of our online experiences, from our social media platforms to our mobile apps to our video and music playlists are already customized. With the growth in co-investing, co-purchasing and co-working, we're going to increasingly see customized dashboards and interfaces extend far beyond our current co-creation. From personalized learning, to personalized medicine, to personalized art — the paradox is that more powerful technology in AI and big data is allowing us to become more human".
Undoubtedly the hottest topic at the moment is the mainstream shift to VR and AR experiences. We could almost write an entire blog about that subject alone!
The overwhelming success of PokemonGo has shown that consumers are ready for AR and that there is major earning potential for marketers and innovators. Forbes predicts a flow of AR games, ads and apps. Workplace gamification is predicted to become a core business strategy, with employers shifting their understanding of digital experiences. Both VR and AR will improve employee engagement, retention and customer experience.
Using VR for content marketing is also a predicted trend. 360 videos make users feel as if they are immersed in, and connected to, something unique and memorable. In July 2016, online e-commerce giant Alibaba made history, launching a shopping experience driven by VR for Singles Day (China's anti-Valentine's Day) that netted USD 17.8 billion in transactions: nearly 8 billion more than Black Friday 2015! In 2016 long established Australian retailer Myer worked with ebay create the world's first online department store. Customers can purchase to their heart's content using "shopticals".
Live streaming video will be a major driver for building an audience. Text based content and talking head video will be a thing of the past. In 2016, the US presidential debate was live streamed for the first time, and Facebook and YouTube rolled out live streaming capabilities. IBM's analysis of digital marketing trends (and a bunch of other articles) highlight it as a main trend for 2017. Whether it be live-streaming an event, product launch or behind-the-scenes look, being creative with live-streaming content will keep your business ahead of the curve next year.
New formats in data visualisation will enable marketers to perceive consumer patterns and key messages in deeper ways. Organisations that upgrade the tools they are using to analyse and predict consumer behaviour will be at a huge advantage. Cloud models for business/data analytics (and data storage/data management) are envisioned to "lead cloud adoption in 2017 and beyond".
Consumer preference for social media and instant messaging has created a tidal wave that's sweeping away the use of email. So much so (author, educator and entrepreneur Hamilton points out) that over 90% of customers are now unresponsive to email lists. The future lies in harnessing social media: remarketing and remessaging through Facebook, YouTube, Google and Twitter; collecting phone numbers and setting up WhatsApp and WeChat groups, taking advantage of the 150 million instant messages sent per minute (and typically these days checked before emails); and/or creating an app for consumers (voice command, AI, VR or mixed reality to jump ahead of the curve).
"Because my self-actualization is faster, smarter and more exclusive than yours". Trendwatching, 2016.
A Trendwatching report on the global luxury market sees the temporary lull in growth as an opportunity for brands to make an epic shift towards more "varied, complex, individualized, and meaningful forms of luxury consumption". A key to creating disrupting innovations in this market is understanding the shifting definition of status from 'what I have' to 'who I am'. 'The Quintessential Self' is typified by shareable content about taking self-improvement to another level, in a way that people are not yet aware of.
"I literally predict within 4–7 years if you don't have a true genuine impact in your business you'll be at a competitive disadvantage" Yanik Silver, Evolved Enterprise.
Sustainability is a major consumer trend amongst predictions for 2017. Trend Watching expects that brands will expand their thinking of sustainability in 2017 to explore Capacity Capture "finding and unlocking exciting new sources of value, or finding creative new ways to eliminate any wasted resource". Case studies include : Nissan owners selling excess power from electric cars back to the national grid; and the Integrated Waste Exchange (online portal) in Capetown.
Environmentalism. As we all notice the effects of climate in our local environment, environmental sustainability is an ongoing trend. Showing a real commitment to the environment, and positive action (also with local social initiatives) with your brand will take you a long way giving consumers a sense that they are contributing, and also a renewed sense of place. Although Euromonitor pointed out that in marketing products, it is good to keep in mind that consumers are more likely to pay for "good for me" features ie. organic or non-GMO than good for the environment features.
In the current political and economic climate, consumers are looking for stability and solace: "purposeful brands will find renewed opportunities in helping people understand their changing relationship to home — be that their nation, city or neighbourhood". Trendwatching, breaks this down into the growth of "New global citizens" and "Nation Nurturers". "New global citizens" such as those represented in the viral Momodo video in which interviewees discovered they were a combination of genes, show that we are all part of a growingly interconnected world and have more in common than we think: we are all just humans trying to do our best on the planet. "Nation nurturers" is typified by campaigns that have a real commitment to the local area — ie. through charity donations to the underprivileged.

Staying Positive: being a creative firm in a contentious world
We've seen a few Companies as of late tout their "no a*holes" policies, addressing hiring practices and new client engagements. In what has turned out to be a pretty darn contentious season, we are sensitive to things like this, and so our attention was piqued.
Why publicize a "no a*holes" policy?
We can only guess at what is driving this salty talk. Could it be a desire to differentiate themselves and their "philosophies" from their peer set and to be viewed as edgy and sharp?
It feels negative. It makes us uncomfortable. What does one look like?
Who of us is in a position to judge or identify someone as being one?
And if you don't get the job or a call-back…well… have you been judged to be one?
As marketers we are all for differentiation and positioning, its what drives our work. We like sassy and salty – but we also like smart, and empathic – and we really like nice. We demonstrate through our work and process that we value our clients and relationships.
The marketing professionals that come through our door (or Inbox, as is more likely the case) are also met with respect and empathy. We've all been there: waiting for the opportunity to present our case.
In the 50 years we've been in business, we haven't needed one of these policies.
The Biondo Group is positively charged and we've found that like attracts like, and so the clients and talent we've attracted share much of what interests and drives us forward – a passion for the work: great design and strategic marketing.
So when you work with the Biondo Group you will team up with some talented, passionate, strategic designers: good people, who work hard, stay positive and are in touch with consumer trends.
The Biondo Group team ascribes to what Frank Burns (from the "back-in-the-day" TV show MASH) said:
"It's nice to be nice to the nice".

WASHINGTON -- The United States will recognize Russia this week as the successor state to the Soviet Union, automatically transferring all relations with the Kremlin to Boris Yeltsin's government, a senior official said last night.
The decision, which quickly followed a similar action by the European Community, came after a 25-minute telephone call yesterday morning from Mr. Yeltsin to President Bush. In effect, it means that the United States is accepting Russia as the state filling the Soviet Union's international role.
Together with Britain and France, the United States also will support Russia's claim to fill the permanent United Nations Security Council seat held by the Soviet Union, giving Russia a veto, officials said.

Seasonal fashion shows reveal a lot about what to expect in terms of trends. Yet, dressing up like the runway models can be tough, especially on a budget. I believe people like to source styling ideas not only from the greatest in fashion, but also from someone like them. That's why I decided to show you another retro twist that's in for this season, and is yet affordable and absolutely achievable.
H&M Wide Leg Jeans / H&M Blouse / H&M Hobo Bag / H&M Belt / H&M Cuff Bangle / H&M Pendant Necklace
For this look I'm wearing one of the key denim trends for H&M's Spring/Summer 2015 collection. Those wide leg jeans are so retro, but yet they look great. Some will say they are not everyone-appropriate. I myself don't have the perfect body shape, and even though I look somehow 'bootylicious" in them, there's nothing wrong with showing off some curves. Especially when living in a world where people fall crazy for Kim Kardashian.
However, if you still feel embarrassed by your body shape (which you shouldn't!), try wearing a cross-body hobo bag like this one. It will hide some of your beautiful flaws, and will make you look fash. Also try inserting a loose top, but don't go too further. You don't want to look baggy, right? Add some jewelry, high heels or wedges, and voilá! You've got a trendy outfit with a retro twist without having to worry about your curves.
And don't forget, there are two key spices to achieving the perfect outfit – your smile and your confidence!
This look has been kindly provided by H&M at Bulgaria Mall.

1) Education in Britain until 1988
- Created by: issywhizz123
- Created on: 18-02-15 19:36
1) Education in Britain untill 1988
The 1944 Education Act set up 3 types of secondary schools, this division is known as the Tripartite system. The 3 types were:
- Grammar – For more "intelligent" students who passed the 11+ test
- Technical – To teach skills useful in labour, for those who failed the 11+ test.
- Modern – For all students who failed the 11+ test and don't attend Technical schools.Co
1970's Comprehensive Schools abolished the 3 tier school system. With the exception of Grammar schools, children now all went to similar "Comprehensive" schools, with no selection by examination. by 2007 there were only 233 state Grammar schools remaining.
What is a "true comprehensive"?
"True" comprehensives don't have any selection procedure. This means they dont have any restrictions on who can attend the school, it also means they have completely mixed ability classes.
Whilst many comprehensives started as true, more and more are become more selective, with tougher entry criteria and more usage of setting and streaming.
The case against selection (advantages of comprehensive education)
- Opportunities remain open – A childs achievement is not limited by their success in the 11+ test. The ability to gain good qualifications and have success in school remains possible through a child's schoolife; you are not as restricted by not…

By Army Staff Sgt. Patricia McMurphy28th Public Affairs Detachment
He jumps, he drools, and he sheds like it`s summer all year long, but this is no ordinary pup. This dog is an invaluable part of team that could one day save lives and capture dangerous criminals.
Army Staff Sgt. Adam Serella, a military working dog handler with the 95th Military Police Detachment here, is busy training Greco -- a newly-acquired military working dog, fresh from Joint Base San Antonio, Texas. Greco left there with the basics, just like the airmen who attend Air Force basic training at JBSA, and now he`s ready to learn what it means to really be a MWD.
Serella, a seasoned handler and lead trainer for the kennels, has worked with and trained MWDs for five years and says he enjoys training new dogs.
"I have seen how rewarding and also how frustrating it can be at times," Serella said. "Just like [new] soldiers who come pre-trained or know the basics, I prefer that. I`d rather shape and mold a new soldier. It`s the same with dogs."
Serella said that when he found out he was getting a new dog, he went to work extra early that day just to meet him.
First Day of Training
After reading Greco`s training record and logging some playtime in the yard to get to know each other, it was time for a bath.
"He smelled pretty bad, so I put him in the tub and gave him his toy to chew on," Serella said. "He just had this sad "why are you doing this` look on his face."
After the bath, Serella took Greco to his first training session.
Like all soldiers, military working dogs must practice their skills to stay sharp. The handlers and dogs also learn to work together as a team and complete required tasks.
According to Serella, finding what makes the dogs want to work is the key building a good working relationship -- it`s all about the rewards.
"Unlike dogs at home, these dogs don`t have toys laying around, so, all the working dogs have an extremely high desire for the toy or the reward, and we only play with that reward when they are working and after they have done a good job and have met the standard," said Serella. "That`s their form of currency."
Next Step: Certification
To assure the standards are met, each MWD team is tested on their proficiency during annual certifications, which they must maintain to conduct their garrison missions and in order to deploy.
"Certification is a weeklong process where every aspect of our work is evaluated," Serella said. "The standards are very strict, but they have to be. Bomb dogs can only miss one plant or hiding spot, anything more results in a failure."
Serella said military working dog teams have to meet these strict standards because they could one day lead units on patrol in dangerous locations or even work with the Secret Service, ensuring the safety of the president.
Serella may have been working with Greco for just six weeks, but he said he is confident when the time comes to test for certification, they will pass with flying colors.
"I don`t want to sound cocky, but there is no reason I can`t pass certification with him," Serella said. "He is a good dog."
After certification, the team can be utilized for a variety of missions here and on deployments around the world. They will also be able to add more advanced skills on top of what they already know.
An additional skill Serella is hoping to add is improving his obedience and extending the amount of time he can have Greco stay where he is told, even if Serella is not in sight.
"I would like to be able to say "stay` and walk away for 10 minutes then come back and him still be there," Serella said. "That is obedience, which is the basis of all dog training."
Serella and Greco are scheduled to certify at the end of August, and when they succeed as Serella predicts, they will become an asset to JBLM and those they may serve at home or abroad.

(Reuters) - General Motors has hired Jeff Eller as a crisis management adviser, the New York Times reported, as the automaker faces investigations over ignition switch defects linked to deadly crashes and mounting recalls.
GM Chief Executive Mary Barra on Wednesday endured a withering attack at a U.S. Senate hearing that opened with accusations that the company fostered "a culture of cover-up.
The creation of the team of outside advisers stands in marked contrast to GM's early approach to handling the crisis, when it looked primarily inward to set strategy, the newspaper said. (http://link.reuters.com/nyb38v)
Eller was chairman at Public Strategies Inc, which has advised U.S. presidents and top CEOs on how to navigate complex communications and public policy issues, and represented Firestone in its tire recall in 2000.
GM spokesman Greg Martin did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
Eller could not be reached for comment outside regular U.S business hours.

Making a Hash of Things
A couple of years ago, I wrote a short article about the mayoral race in Rabbit Hash, a small town along the Ohio River in ...
A couple of years ago, I wrote a short article about the mayoral race in Rabbit Hash, a small town along the Ohio River in Kentucky. It's such a small town that the locals can afford to hold joke elections, in which the winning mayor usually turns out to be a dog. "Every day, we had to keep the toilet flushed, so he could have fresh water," says the owner of the town's first mayor, Goofy.
Since it's election season, I figured now would be a good time to watch "Rabbit Hash: the Center of the Universe." It's a documentary about Goofy's electoral victory.
Although it's only an hour long, the movie drags in parts. It may be a good joke for a town to hold a political popularity contest among animals and have the winner be chosen strictly on the basis of which candidate can attract the most money. (Votes are a dollar a throw.) But it's not a joke that builds the longer you think about it.
Still, Jude Gerard Prest's film is worth watching because he captures some important aspects of small-town life.
As you would expect, given the town's name and political claim to fame, the locals seem to have a pretty good sense of humor. And they seem to enjoy each other's constant company.
The town may be tiny, but it's attracted intelligent people -- a retired doctor, a former news media executive, a designer of bank security systems -- who can now enjoy the drop-out lifestyle, living quietly in log cabins.
The doctor does some blacksmithing and recreates antique guns "in the right and proper manner." The local kids play in the mud by the river or under buildings that have been raised up to withstand floodings.
Although Rabbit Hash is close to Cincinnati, residents come across in this movie as the picture of easygoing contentment. The town motto seems to be "let's just hide and watch." That's a frame of mind that not everyone would desire, or want to sustain over the long haul.
But it makes for a pleasant visit in watching this movie, which can be rented from Netflix.

The film tells the story of how three men accompanied by a group of teenage punks deal with the accidental release of a horde of brain hungry zombies onto an unsuspecting town. The film is known for introducing the popular concept of zombies eating brains, as opposed to just eating human flesh, like previous zombie iterations, as well as its soundtrack, which features several noted deathrock and punk rock bands of the era. The film was a critical success and performed moderately well at the box office. ... more on Wikipedia

Primary Hemochromatosis
Primary hemochromatosis is a systemic genetic disease characterized by deposition of iron in parenchymal organs (especially liver, spleen, etc.) and by the appearance of liver cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, skin pigmentation, heart disease and hypogonadism. Is also called tanned diabetes, because the liver disease is associated with diabetes and specific pigmentation of the skin.
The etiology of primary hemochromatosis is unknown. It is described a secondary form, which occurs when the body is overload with iron: red blood cells diseases (sideroblastic anemia, thalassemia major), oral ingestion of iron, liver disease (alcoholic cirrhosis, porphyria cutanea tarda). There may be a secondary iron overload in chronic hemodialysis or blood transfusion.
Storage of iron in liver is correlated with age, hepatotoxicity depends on the concentration of iron in the liver and on the duration of exposure. Liver iron load is progressively and later will appear fibrosis and in the end, cirrhosis.
Symptoms occur most often after 40 years in men, the ratio men / women is 5-8/1.
Classic triad of symptoms of primary hemochromatosis is:
- Hepatomegaly. Hepatic manifestations occur early, especially hepatomegaly, which appears in asymptomatic phase of the disease. In terminal stages of primary hemochromatosis, the patient will develop cirrhosis, splenomegaly and jaundice.
- Diabetes. At 50% – 60% of cases of primary hemochromatosis, diabetes is the result of iron toxicity over the pancreatic beta-cells.
- Skin pigmentation. Occurs in late stages of primary hemochromatosis and especially affects the exposed areas of the skin. It is due to excess of melanin and not due to iron storage in the skin.
Other events associated with primary hemochromatosis are:
- Cardiac: congestive heart failure, as an expresion of dilated cardiomyopathy;
- Symmetrical arthropathy, usually affects proximal interphalangeal and metacarpofalngeal joints, spine and knees.
- Endocrine: gonads failure, decreased libido and amenorrhea.
Diagnosis is mainly based on laboratory exploration. Paraclinical exploration which are used for the diagnosis of primary hemochromatosis are addressed to iron metabolism:
- Increased transferrin saturation coefficient, over 45%;
- Increased serum ferritin over 200 ng / ml in men and 250 ng / ml in women;
- Increasing levels of iron in the blood over 175 mg%.
The excess of iron from the tissues can be tracked by MRI or biopsy.
Primary hemochromatosis has a long-term evolution, survival from the moment of diagnosis, is usually for 5 years. Death ocuurs due to liver failure or due to heart failure, through the complications of diabetes or liver cancer, because there is an increased risk for the development liver cancer. Prognosis is favorable in case of early diagnosis and treatment and is reserved in the advanced stages associated with cirrhosis.
Are excluded foods rich in iron (spinach, liver, etc.) and alcohol. Drugs which are containing iron are contraindicated.
Phlebotomy is most efficiently therapy and should be done 1 or 2 sessions per week in order to remove 250 mg iron / session. In symptomatic patients are needed about 70 phlebotomies in 2-3 years.
Criteria for assessment of phlebotomy are:
- Hematocrit decreased by 5% – 10% below normal;
- Coefficient of transferrin saturation below 45%;
- Serum ferritin below 50 ng / ml.
After reaching these goals will be done 2 to 3 phlebotomies per year for maintenance.
Iron chelating agents are indicated in patients with anemic syndromes or chronic kidney failure.

How do you stay optimistic when you are surrounded by a steady drumbeat of troubling news? It's not an easy task these days, especially when you're worried about holding on to your job or your home.
Yet, it is precisely during times like these that must be proactive about managing our emotional well-being. The people most likely to succeed in this economy are not necessarily those with the best resumes or education, but those who develop the "mental muscle" that empowers them with the focus to create opportunities and their own "luck" in spite of the odds. As famed author Stephen Covey notes, ""Opposition is a natural part of life. Just as we develop our physical muscles through overcoming opposition - such as lifting weights - we develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and adversity." Fortunately, with hard work and persistence, optimism can be learned.
Thanks to the emerging science of Applied Positive Psychology (not to be confused with positive thinking), a number of excellent tools have been developed to help people build resiliency and mental well-being.
Here are three invaluable resources that I strongly recommend you explore:
Authentic Happiness: This is the website of Dr. Martin Seligman, who is the founder of the University of Pennsylvania's Positive Psychology Center. Outstanding website that contains an array of free assessment tools to help you develop insights into yourself and the world around you through scientifically tested questionnaires, surveys, and scales.
Creating Your Best Life: This book by Caroline Miller is filled with research, worksheets and easy-to-implement strategies for people who want to adopt meaningful life planning and impactful goal-setting tools into their lives.
Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself from Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life: Dr. Judith Orloff weaves neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality together to create a new approach for freeing yourself from negative emotions.

You know I've noticed that when I do BBQ catering gig, i get a lot of the same questions over and over again.
"What kind of rub do you use?"
" Do you make your own rub?"
"Do you use the same rub on poultry and meat?"
So I thought maybe I should do a short primer on rubs and hopefully encourage some of you to experiment with rubs of your own. Maybe one day you will have your own rub on the grocery store shelves! (Hey, it could happen.)
Now a "rub" is just a seasoning mix that is meant to enhace the flavors of meat. It probably got it's name because some people like to rub it into their meat. Personally patting works just fine for me.
Before you start experimenting with rubs, I suggest you follow this one simple rule. Cook a piece of meat with just salt and pepper on it. Experience the taste of the meat without any extra flavors. This way you have a taste baseline and you will know when you are enhancing the flavor and when you are covering it up.
Here is a basic savory barbecue rub:
4 parts kosher salt 4 parts garlic powder 2 parts black pepper 1 part cayenne
You can use this rub on any type of meat with great results. just remember that measurements aren't as important as keeping the proportions correct.
Some people like a sweeter rub on their meat, especially pork. Here is a more complex rub that would go well with a pork butt or some spare ribs.
8 parts brown sugar 4 parts kosher salt 4 parts paprika 2 parts garlic powder 2 parts black pepper 1 part allspice 1 part cayenne
I think you will be please with the alternating sensations of sweet, savory and heat.
Well now you are own your own. Go out and experiment with making your own rubs. Don't hesitate to send some of the bak to me so I can try them out. And if you are interested in seeing experimentation taken to it's extreme, check out this Mad Scientist's Experiment. I guarantee that you will find lots of ideas to experiment with. (Special thanks to bigabyte and the BBQ Brethren).

Discussion in 'Proxies' started by zamburlu, Aug 31, 2012.
i will buy a vpn. Do i may buy which one ?
I use HMA and it works well. You can choose a lot of different locations but if you need a high speed vpn with only 8 locations, try viprvpn. It is more expensive but a lot faster.
It depends what you want to do
thanks. i think hma is best.
I bought cyberghost a few days back and like it alot! I have a wide variety of countrys to choose from and don't notice a drop in speed either! the only down side is depending on what package you buy depends on how much traffic you get to use!
Yes sure. if you want to protect/encrypt all of your personal and private information, I will advise you subscribe a VPN service that can give you ultimate online protection. You can also find out the best VPN provider in the VPN industry from this blog post http://www.bestvpnservice.com/blog/best-vpn-service-top-10-vpn-service-providers/.
Hope it helps you out!
VPN will offer much better security no doubt, but they can be expensive.
now a days it is giving lot of problems while connecting and also google have the list of ips used in HMA.So it is no longer good to have it.
HMA is good and easy to configure, if you'r looking for VPN for general uses, i totally recommend it.
search for hidemyass vpn pro, a good service.
hmmm, you seem awful familiar.....
HMA is best for all sorts of connection. And it can also boost your internet so you would never have a slow internet connection problem again while using proxies
I wonder how would HMA boost your internet connection?
if you wanted to hide your identity normally doing small tasks ofcause legal and normal backlink work so you can get VPN for it perfect.
you looking to hide your identity when you will running SEO softwares on daily basis with heavy task then i recommend you to take normal stable proxies or private proxies it depends on you
Main thing is that for what purpose you are looking to hide your identity if you tell it will be very clear to answer
So, you would not recomend HMA for multiple (some hundred) FB account creation and management too? How many proxies would be needed for this?
HMA is very Commonly used by many (that is the Free Version I refer to)
I think the service is Pretty slow, and It appear to be Blocked by many sites that track you IP
HMA Is great. I am also part of their affiliate program and so far have never had any commissions reversed due to people cancelling within the 30 day trial period. I think that speaks for itself.
The frequent disconnects/auto-reconnects are a major security problem with hidemyass because each time this happens your REAL ip address is revealed without you even knowing it happened. Hidemyass advertises 3000+ ip addresses but you are only able to connect to only 2 or 3 data centers that are close by. Hide my ass are a victim of their own success, they have WAY too many customers using their limited resources. http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...-thought-hidemyass-anonymous-think-again.html
I just got HMA VPN and wouldnt recommend it.Allways disconnecting and very slow
I was also thinking about it but there seems to be some mixed experiences...
Separate names with a comma.

1. Francesco Vitali as Hamlet at the Tamarind Theater in what must be the vanity show of the decade. Budgeted by Vitali and his "investors" in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, the production closed after two performances with a native Greek who couldnt remember his lines as the Danish prince and, when he could, rendered them incomprehensibly. Director Aaron Mullen appeared to be at the edge of lunacy, while the supporting cast was literally banking on the good graces of George Clooney, who showed up to videotape rehearsals of the debacle for a television series.
2. Francesco Vitali as Hamlet at the Tamarind Theater. (See No. 1.)
3. Bravest performance: Jacqueline Wright in her own play Eat Me a member rental at Theater of NOTE that transferred to the McCadden Place Theater. Wright portrayed a rape victim who, after having swallowed a bucket of pills in a suicide attempt, was forced to perform fellatio in a scene that re-defined the term "in-your-face theater." Wrights character then apologized for upchucking all over her attacker. One night, the theater sent out an e-mail apology for having used packaged barf that was, evidently, left over from the night before and was therefore reeking. Prop masters: If youre going to use real vomit, please be sure its fresh.
4. Liz Pococks hyperactive professor in Ionescos The Lesson, at City Garage. What is generally a symbol of male authority here became an insane, lisping, sweat-coated, contortion-filled emblem of female dominance. She was so over the top at plays start, you couldnt imagine how she could go anywhere at all. Then for over an hour, she just kept going further into a slapstick so broad, she melded into a living cartoon.
5. Arye Gross hypochondriac suitor in Anton Chekhovs one-act The Proposal, presented by Antaeus Theater Company. A petty argument with the woman to whom he was proposing led to an ebb and flow of rage and heart palpitations that soon had Gross literally bouncing off the furniture.
6. Joe Fria as a dog in Michael Francos adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakovs novel Heart of a Dog. With the help of a mask, this was the most persuasive transformation of the year from man to beast. The way he hung his head, details in the gestures of snuggling, explosions of happiness, of bewilderment yielding to terror. This dogs heart was beating on the stage.

7. Stephen Dillanes one-man rendition of Macbeth at the REDCAT. Not just the character, the entire blasted play: Duncan, Lady M, Weird Sisters, the whole kit and caboodle, all spun out as effortlessly as a Scottish kilt in a Glasgow textile factory.
8. Alan Mandell in The Royal Family at the Ahmanson. The plays homage to theater wore me out, but Mandells butler wore me out for completely different reasons: My legs were wobbly just watching the old guy bounce up and down that huge circular stairwell like a pingpong ball.
9. Loretta Devines diva, Ma Rainey, in August Wilsons Ma Raineys Black Bottom at the Lillian Theater. Dripping in a wry sarcasm and narcissism, Devines Ma shone in one of those "intimate theater" productions that has chops equal to anything on the big stages.
10. Tonya Pinkins maid in Tony Kushners Caroline, or Change at the Ahmanson. How many layers exist between despondency and rage? She found em all.
