Most landlords seeking to recover possession of their property at the end of a tenancy want to do so as quickly as possible. The idea of an accelerated procedure, where a landlord can obtain a possession order without a court hearing, undoubtedly has its attractions. However, the accelerated possession procedure is not always a surefire route to obtaining possession quickly. As the legal obligations placed on landlords increase and the law governing possession becomes more complex, the accelerated possession procedure may not be the most appropriate or expeditious procedure to follow.
Landlords wishing to use the accelerated procedure must ensure, before starting the claim, that they are entitled to use the procedure, that they have complied with all their legal obligations in relation to the tenancy, and that they have the necessary paperwork ready to evidence compliance.
The accelerated possession procedure is available to landlords if:
- The tenancy is an assured shorthold tenancy entered into on or after 15 January 1989;
- The tenancy is subject to a written agreement or follows on from a fixed term that was set out in a written agreement;
- Any fixed term has come to an end;
- A valid section 21 notice has been served on the tenant and the date in the notice has passed. A section 21 notice requires the landlord to give the tenant at least two months' notice;
- The landlord only seeks possession of the property and not any other remedy such as a money judgment for rent arrears.
Most problems that arise in accelerated possession claims concern the validity of the section 21 notice. A section 21 notice may be invalid if:
- It fails to comply with the correct legal formalities, for example, it stipulates a shorter period of notice than is legally required.
- The landlord has taken a deposit in connection with the tenancy and has not complied with the rules relating to protecting the deposit in an authorised scheme and serving the tenant with the necessary prescribed deposit information.
- The landlord is required to obtain a property licence but has not done so.
The rules relating to section 21 notices, tenancy deposit protection and property licensing are complex. Often landlords do not discover until after issuing possession proceedings that they have not satisfied all their legal obligations, their 21 notice is invalid as a result, and their possession claim will fail.
If a judge is not satisfied that a valid section 21 notice has been served then he or she will either list the case for a hearing, in which case the advantage gained from opting for the quicker, accelerated route will be lost, or the judge will dismiss the claim. The landlord may find that he or she has to start from scratch, re-issue the section 21 notice and wait another two months before court proceedings can be re-started.
Further changes to section 21 notices passed earlier this year and due to come into effect in October create additional obstacles for landlords seeking to use the accelerated possession procedure. A section 21 notice will not be validly served if prior to the service of the notice the tenant has made a written complaint to the landlord regarding the condition of the property, the landlord has not provided an adequate response within 14 days and the tenant has then complained to a local authority who have served an improvement notice or carried out emergency remedial action. Landlords will also be prohibited from using a section 21 notice within 6 months of the service of a local authority's improvement notice or emergency remedial notice (notices issued by Councils to deal with poor housing conditions). Further information on the recent changes to section 21 notices can be accessed here.
The effect of the above is that the accelerated possession procedure is often not the fast-track route to possession that some landlords expect it to be. In many instances it is unlikely to be any more accelerated than the standard court procedure. It may be the case that the accelerated procedure as a whole becomes unworkable as judges find themselves unable to decide all the relevant issues without a hearing.
Landlords are recommended to seek expert legal advice before commencing possession proceedings if they have any doubt as to the validity of their section 21 notices and their legal obligations. Getting the process right the first time, even if it involves re-issuing a notice and following the standard possession procedure, undoubtedly saves costs and, in the long run, it may even be the more 'accelerated' path to possession.

How you can help animals impacted by Hurricane Irma
In the wake of Hurricane Irma many are looking for ways that they can help the people and animals affected. Here's how you can help during this urgent time:
What you can do:
- The HSUS Animal Rescue Team is ready to deploy to Florida to work with local officials on transporting and caring for animals. Your support is urgently needed: both so we can help during this emergency, and so we can be there at a moment's notice when future disasters strike.
- Challenge your friends and family to help.
- MyHumane is an easy way to fundraise for animals with family and friends.
- Activate your social network by starting a Facebook Fundraiser.
- Or, encourage your network to give by adding a donate button to your status and tagging The Humane Society of the United States. Here are the instructions for adding a donate button.
- Spread the word on social media. Retweet our hurricane updates from @HumaneSociety and share our latest posts from The HSUS Facebook page.
- Get the training you need to lend a hand in times of crisis. Sign up to volunteer with The Animal Rescue Team and be on the front lines for animals.
Give to The HSUS Disaster Relief Fund today»
What not to do:
- Your safety and that of your family and pets comes first. Do not put yourself in danger. If you see a person or animal in distress, call 9-1-1.
- Please do not attempt to drive donation items to Florida, as many roads could be flooded and dangerous.
- It is also essential not to detract time or resources from emergency responders. Unless you are a trained professional who has already received official orders, do not "self deploy" to areas impacted by the hurricane. Do not call 9-1-1 unless you are experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening emergency firsthand. For information and updates, tune in to your local radio station, call 2-1-1 or contact the emergency manager for your county.

Digitally Downloaded writes: "We often hear about how the iOS $0.99 app, as well as Free-to-Play and in-app purchases are a bit of a saving grace for some of the challenges that game developers are currently facing in the market.
So, here's some numbers that are a little worrying."
One factor is probably the time between releases, iOS games that succeed are like fads and if you miss the window that they're relevant for no one cares after they're over.
I've bought quite a few games on Android since I caved and bought a Nexus 7.
If any developers come here, add native controller support for everything that's not designed to be touch only and I'll be more likely to buy your games, see my purchase history as proof.
Marketting is the key. Casual people do not go to MC and look at games to buy. Or pretty much any site outside of Facebook for that matter. Sad but true.
It's a matter of understanding the type of market you're dealing with. People using iOS are generally more willing to pay a premium price, where as Android users are more likely to have no problem with in-game advertisements. Gear your development and market strategy to that, and don't expect android users to pay upfront - they won't.
I have an android os phone and have never bought a game from the play market, nor will in the foreseeable future. The only reason Ive Played Angry Birds is because it was a free download and i rarely play that. There is a game called wind up knight that's pretty generic but i play it from time to time.

GREENACRES CITY — Residents may have to pay 15 percent more for garbage pickup in coming months, pending a City Council vote that could boost fees from $21.75 to $25 per quarter for single-family homes.
County Sanitation Inc. has asked the council to raise fees for all residents and businesses, who together generate 2.6 million pounds of garbage each month.
``That`s not going to be done in a hurry,`` Marshall Dan, finance director, said Thursday of the proposed increase. Next week he will ask the council to hire outside auditors to inspect the sanitation company`s books and determine whether the new fees are fair, he said.
The increase, which is drawing angry reaction from a handful of city residents at council meetings, would be the second since the refuse company began serving the city in April 1983, said Pat Biby, office manager of the Delray Beach refuse company. The council boosted rates 16 percent in October 1983, shortly after the company took over the route from Williams Sanitation.
``This is the first increase we`ve requested from the city of Greenacres in two years, and every year we request an increase from the other (municipalities) - every one,`` Biby said Thursday, adding that her company serves 12 other governments.
The coastal town of Highland Beach renewed a contract Oct. 1 that would allow a substantially lower - 5 percent - increase this year, said Mary Ann Mariano, town clerk of the 0.6-square-mile town sandwiched between Boca Raton and Delray Beach. Town officials chose to leave the $24-a-quarter rates alone, she said.

Is it really May 2016? Where did the last year go?! Seriously, how is it that I haven't posted anything in a year...oh wait I know why; we have a baby now! Yes folks that's right, the past year has been consumed by our lovely daughter Emily, who we call Emi. For our close friends and family, you have been with us through our roller coaster of a year. Right before my last post in May 2015 our baby was diagnosed in utero with a cardiac heart defect. We were so lucky as she was able to be carried to 38 weeks, had a successful heart operation, and has been doing seemingly well since. We had a few bumps along the way, and it wasn't always easy, but here we are in May 2016 with a beautiful 8 month old enjoying life as a new family. I have been thinking a lot about writing down our journey over the past year, a project which I plan to take on this summer while in the USA. So you are now aware of why I have been absent from posting the past 12 months, but I happy to say I am back and excited to start sharing some of our most recent travels, starting with our long weekend to the French Rivera.
It's funny - when we were thinking of having a baby so people said to us that we wouldn't be able to travel once she arrived. We of course knew that the first few months of her life would be unique since she was having surgery and we were dealing with a newborn. But after about three months we ventured on our first flight to Germany and haven't stopped since. I am happy to report that since Emi joined us, we have been to 8 countries with her and continue to follow our passion of exploring new places together as a family. It is definitely different traveling with a baby, but we were truly blessed with the worlds most easy going little lady. Perhaps it's because she had such a rough start to her life that she just goes with the flow, but whatever it is that makes her so easy I will gladly take it! Our daughter has had a few weight/eating problems due to her heart condition, so she gets the majority of her nutrition through an NG feeding tube for the time being. To be totally honest, the tube feeding which is connected to an automatic pump makes traveling and getting out so much easier. I just have to be more prepared when packing our bags to make sure that we have extra supplies, but luckily we always get a medical bag when flying now so it helps make it that much easier. Of course I would prefer her to get her nutrition from a more traditional route, but finding the silver lining in the feeding pump is that we can always feed her on the go.
As you may know, my husband Christian is a huge AC/DC fan. Our new rule is that if he wants to continue going to shows, we must pick a new destination to make a vacation out of the trip. This year, we selected Marseille for two reasons. One, we both had never been and two a close friend of mine from Scotland moved there two years ago and has been asking us to come and visit. After a quick 2 hour flight we arrived on a Friday afternoon and our friend Kam met us at the airport. From there we went to her flat in downtown Marseille which was only a 25 min car ride. Christian said goodbye and headed off to the stadium for the concert to meet friends who were also in town. Kam, her friend Aurelie, Emi and I enjoyed a walk around the neighbourhood followed by a girls night in! It was great to relax after traveling and just enjoy catching up with each other.
Christian loved the show and said the stadium was one of the best he'd been too.
Saturday morning we enjoyed a traditional French breakfast at home and took our time getting ready. Emi enjoyed her first croissant. She is starting to transition to solids through baby led weaning and this seemed to be a clear winner!
Our friends live very centrally in the city which made getting around easy on foot. We spent Saturday checking out some of the popular tourist attractions including the Palais Longchamp as seen in the picture below.
Living in Scotland we are always out and about despite the weather. Marseille was quite sunny and hot when we were in town, but had crazy winds the whole weekend. It did seem a bit dirty to me, but I think it was due to the trash being blown literally everywhere! I did enjoy photographing some of the unique architecture of many of the old buildings around the city.
We also loads of fresh markets at the weekend with the usual French favorites- breads, cheeses, and wine.
We even saw a guy making massive portions of paella.
Our favorite part of Marseille was the downtown old port area and old town. We enjoyed leisurely strolling around on Saturday for most of the day eating our way through the city.
The port had some great views and what seemed like thousands of sailboats and yachts.
One of the best things was since we had friends who lived in town we didn't have to do any preparation for our trip on what to do or see. They really were amazing tour guides taking us all over the city to the best attractions and places to eat!
They even watched Emi for Chris and me so we could enjoy a nice romantic dinner out just the two of us! That is a luxury these days since we don't have family where we live and try not to take too much advantage of our friends in Edinburgh!
We even managed a boat ride in the harbour- even if it was only a 5 min ride
Here are a few more shots from our day of city exploring...
Catch of the day for sale right in the port
One of the most spectacular Ferris Wheels I've seen!
I am not sure why but there is something so French to me about a carrousel. Maybe because I remember seeing so many in Paris when I visited as a teenager. Whatever it is I was loving this one right in the heart of the city.
One of the other negatives to the city besides the trash, was it did not seem very baby friendly. No high chairs at restaurants, no changing tables in bathrooms, and people really didn't seem to move for our stroller. So we decided to take turns with meals and one of us always had to hold Emi until the other finished. Not ideal but we made due.
And it's not a holiday unless you get some mint chocolate chip ice cream- right Chris?
After enjoying the city all afternoon we headed home to relax before dinner. Emi, and her dad who'd been out until the early hours of the morning due to the concert the night before, needed a power nap! Once everyone got their second wind we headed to explore the Calanques National Park. The sun was setting and the drive was beautiful. The pictures really don't do the views justice!
Love this group photo!
Sunday we decided to venture out of the city to explore some of the French Riviera. On the way to La Ciotat, a small beach town about 30 miles outside of downtown Marseille, we drove a windy costal road that was absolutely beautiful. I like exploring cities, but much prefer getting out into nature and enjoying the sun, sand, and sea!
The town had exactly what we needed- a nice promenade for walking, little beaches for sunning, and spectacular views of the French Rivera.
How about this little beach babe!
We really had a great time just chilling on the beach for the day. We couldn't have asked for more perfect weather! I was lucky enough to have been to the beach with Emi in Florida this past February so I left her in Christian's capable hands most of the time. He really enjoyed watching her play in the sand and having some quality dad/daughter time.
They even photo bombed Kam and my perfect beach selfie! But we got one later...
The Three amigos!
The water may have looked so enticing to swim in, but it was freezing! I went in to about my knees, but Chris was the only brave one who went in for a dip long enough for me to get a few pics. He said it was ice cold but boy was that water clear and beautiful!
Aurelie and Emi also got some quality beach cuddle time in!
And our classic picture of lugging a stroller to the beach! Guess we gotta get use to it- Thanks Kam for documenting our struggle haha!
Sunday night as mentioned earlier Christian and I went out for a dinner just the two of us. Since we had an early flight out Monday morning, we were soon to bed after dinner and back in Scotland by lunch time having gained an hour on the way back with the change of time zones. We really can't say thank you enough to our lovely hosts! They made the trip so easy organizing a baby bed, car seat, and high chair for the house. And giving Christian and me some quality alone time is priceless! I'll leave you with this family picture which was my favorite of the trip from the old port.
Until next time, I'll see you on the internet.

Moles, warts, blackheads, skin tags and age spots are just few of the skin disorders that affect individuals. Although there are many kinds of skin and beauty products but they can be very expensive. Fortunately, is that there are natural remedies that can help you to eliminate all your skin problems and make your skin soft and smooth.
These are the 9 most efficient home remedies to help you remove moles, as well as other skin issues, like skin tags, warts, age spots and blackheads:
1. Castor Oil and baking soda
Prepare a mixture of castor oil and baking soda and apply the paste on the mole, then cover the area with a bandage and leave it work overnight. The next morning, remove the bandage and rinse the area. Repeat the procedure every night.
2. Aloe Vera
You should put some fresh aloe Vera gel on the mole. Then, secure it with a cotton bandage, and leave it thus for 3-4 hours in order to provide enough time for the absorption of the gel. For a month, you should repeat this procedure twice or three times daily.
3. Garlic
Garlic is one of the best effective natural remedies for moles because it contains enzymes that break down the clusters of the cells that produce pigment. Also, it successfully lightens the dark pigmentation.
Crushed fresh garlic clove, and place a piece on the mole. Next, secure it with a bandage and leave it thus to act for several hours, or during the night.
Repeat this on a daily basis for several days, and you will notice the mole fall off naturally afterwards. In most cases, this happens after the fifth day of application. Yet, note that garlic may cause redness or irritate the skin when applied.
4. Onion Juice
Onion is a great natural remedy for removing dark spots because it has a strong acidic property. Using a cotton swab, apply some onion juice on the mole, and leave it to act for half an hour. Then, rinse and repeat 2-3 times daily for three weeks.
You can also mix apple cider vinegar and onion juice in equal amounts, apply the mixture on the affected area, and leave it to act for 30 minutes. Apply once a day for at least 4 weeks.
5. Flaxseed Oil
Raised moles can be effectively eliminated with the use of flaxseed oil, as it softens and loosens them on the edges, and they are afterwards easily removed.
Mix some flaxseed oil, honey, and finely ground flax seeds to make a paste, and apply it on the affected area and leave it for at least 1 hour. Follow this procedure 3 times a day for several weeks.
6. Grapefruit Seed Extract
Grapefruit seed extracts are high in flavonoids and vitamin E, so it efficiently removes moles and other skin issues. You should apply a drop of the extract on the affected area and secure it with gauze or a bandage. Leave it to act for several hours, and repeat the method 2-3 times during the day, for a month.
Moreover, the grapefruit seed extract can also be mixed with avocado oil, in a 1:10 ration. Apply the mixture on the moles and allow it to act for 15 minutes. Repeat on a daily basis until your moles are completely gone.
7. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is an extremely popular and effective natural remedy. Moles can be effectively treated with this ingredient due to the acid content, since it scabs them and helps to easily fall off.
you should apply a cotton ball soaked in an apple cider vinegar on the affected area. Cover the area with a bandage and leave it until the next morning. Repeat this method every day for around 10 days.
Note: Apple cider vinegar may worsen the mole at the beginning, but after a few days, it will successfully treat it and eventually eliminate it, and it most cases, it won't leave a scar. However, in the opposite case, you should use coconut oil to treat scars.
8. Frankincense essential oil
Naturally astringent, this essential oil will effectively dry the mole up and remove it gradually, one layer at a time. You should combine it with olive oil, in 1:8 ratio.
Then, apply the combination on the affected are and leave it to act for several hours. Repeat 2-3 times daily, for several weeks. In order to prevent scars, it is advisable that you continue the treatment a few days after the mole has been removed. However, if this treatment irritates your skin, you should not do it.
9. Pineapple Juice
The fresh pineapple juice can help you make moles less visible, by lightening them. You should apply a cotton ball soaked in pineapple juice and apply it on the mole. Leave it on overnight or until juice dries. Do this several times a day for a few weeks or until your mole fades
Use fresh pineapple juice for best results.
Moreover, if a treatment with some of these natural remedies aggravates the condition, you should immediately stop using it.

Wall Racetrack
The heat index has been surpassing the 100 degree mark for awhile here in Kansas City, so unless we are outside in the water, we're not outside.To interrupt the boredom of being stuck inside for days on end, we created an indoor racetrack for Kieran.
Moving play to a different location has some nice side benefits1:
*It allows your child to think creatively;
*It invites your child to explore and interact with her playthings in novel ways;
*A change of scenery may facilitate new learning opportunities. For example, in the short time Kieran has been playing with his wall racetrack, we've already had a discussion about gravity, after he commented on the fact that the cars do not stay on the track unless he is holding them.
*In the case of the wall racetrack, it is a great way to utilize a small play area – you build the play space up instead of out.
Here's how we created our wall racetrack:
1) Get a big piece of paper: we have a roll of butcher paper that is perfect.
2) Draw your tracks: we laid wooden railroad tracks down in a fun shape that fit our paper and traced them with pencil.
3) Pretty it up: we traced over our tracks with marker, added yellow lines in the middle, drew a checked start/finish line, and added a sign that says "Welcome to Kieran's Speedway."
4) Attach it to the wall: we used tape.
Have you been dealing with too much time inside? How do you chase away the boredom that comes with the summer heat?
- This is true even if you are simply taking toys that are normally played with indoors, out. Childhood 101 had an excellent post on this for our June Carnival of Natural Parenting. ↩

"Wall Racetrack"
Already in our agenda for the day! That will keep Everett busy while I do some sewing. He'll love it.
this looks REALLY fun. even for adults. or maybe i am just lame and like to draw on stuff.
Awesome idea! We will have to try this!
Need to get some butcher paper, obviously! Looks like fun!
We made snow cones today. :) Big hit. I didn't have any koolaid packs so I just used juice mixed with honey to make the syrup (of course both my LOs are over a year old). :) Probably better that way anyhow; no artificial anything. :)
Summer heat? I wish : ) We end up with only a couple too hot days a summer around here, but I'll def keep this idea for the winter. Esp with a new baby in the middle of it -30c will be too cold for us. Heck anything below -15c will have us inside.
Something you could do is freeze some toys in old milk cartons and let them melt to reveal the hidden treasure. We also do this with coloured water. Freeze one colour, layer the next colour and freeze witha s many colours as you want per jug, and watch what happens when it melts. in the winter we do this by putting the jugs outside overnight and seeing what happens in the morning – then into the tub or wait until spring. Depends on how much it snows over night and if we find all the jugs : )
I would never have thought of moving this kind of play from the floor to the wall!
Now to find some wall space ….. :)
Great idea, Dionna! Not only is it creative and fun, but it has the educational component of providing a hands-on gravity lesson. I love the ideas and encouragement you share for families. I gave you the Wild about Your Blog Award at http://LivingMontessoriNow.com/2010/08/20/awards-to-happily-pass-on/
Neat idea! Now that I'm not doing daycare anymore I don't think of these things, but my girls did not want to give up their cars when we moved so maybe if I make one of these for them they will actually play with them again!

Day two of LeWeb2012 brought a good mix of people to the Google+ Hangouts: a fighter jet pilot, a kiteboarder, a long-distance runner and a leader in the field of crowd-funding. Each brought something different to the table (or the Hangout) and Marie Jamet questioned them on what their unique something was.
The Internet of Things: hanging out at LeWeb2012, part II
The Internet of Things: hanging out at LeWeb2012, part II
Brian Shul (http://www.sleddriver.com/) is a former US Air Force pilot who survived a crash in Vietnam to become the pilot of the fastest jet in the world, the SR-71 Blackbird. He is now an author, photographer and world wide speaker. He uses his incredible experience to give dynamic inspirational (and not motivational!) speeches. In this hangout, find out how he survived his ordeals and can be an inspiration for other people.
Bill Tai is a venture capitalist who has invested in dozens of companies. He is also a sponsored kiteboarder. Susi Mai is also a professional kiteboarder. Together they created Mai Tai (http://www.maitaiglobal.org/), a gathering that brings together entrepreneurs, innovators and athletes, especially in kiteboarding. They tell how sports, passion, friendship and internet technology can meet.
Scott Dunlap is the managing director of new a company he just founded a few weeks ago: Tenth Dimension Design Labs. He is an ultra distance trail runner (which means he runs races of a hundred miles!) and passionate about internet of things can help gather body data. In this video, he explains, among other things, how he tries to track down the forensic point each runner reaches at some point in a race.
Danae Ringelmann is the founder of the crowdfunding plateform Indiegogo. Launched just a few months before the economic crisis hit the world, Indiegogo allows anyone to raise fund from the people directly, without any middleman. In this hangout, Danae explains how Indiegogo works on meritocracy and avoid funding terrorists.

|[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-1482) Update triggers on tables with blob columns stream blobs into memory even when the blobs are not referenced/accessed.
|Tue, 10 May 2011 03:54:03 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1482?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13030999#comment-13030999 ] Mamta A. Satoor commented on DERBY-1482: ---------------------------------------- I ran derbyall and junit suite with this patch and found that handful of upgrade tests are failing. After debugging, I have found the reason to be that my patch does optimization of reading only required columns and hence the trigger action column positions in that selective list of read columns may not be same as their column positions in this underlying trigger table. This column mismatch is not recognized by 10,7 released jars. I am making changes that when in soft upgrademode, do not do the column reading optimization so the generated trigger action sql will still work when it is taken back to the older release which does not do any column reading optimization. > Update triggers on tables with blob columns stream blobs into memory even when the blobs are not referenced/accessed. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-1482 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1482 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 10.2.1.6 > Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner > Assignee: Mamta A. Satoor > Priority: Minor > Labels: LOB > Fix For: 10.7.1.1 > > Attachments: DERBY_1482_patch4_diff.txt, DERBY_1482_patch4_stat.txt, TriggerTests_ver1_diff.txt, TriggerTests_ver1_stat.txt, derby1482DeepCopyAfterTriggerOnLobColumn.java, derby1482Repro.java, derby1482ReproVersion2.java, derby1482_patch1_diff.txt, derby1482_patch1_stat.txt, derby1482_patch2_diff.txt, derby1482_patch2_stat.txt, derby1482_patch3_diff.txt, derby1482_patch3_stat.txt, junitUpgradeTestFailureWithPatch1.out > > > Suppose I have 1) a table "t1" with blob data in it, and 2) an UPDATE trigger "tr1" defined on that table, where the triggered-SQL-action for "tr1" does NOT reference any of the blob columns in the table. [ Note that this is different from DERBY-438 because DERBY-438 deals with triggers that _do_ reference the blob column(s), whereas this issue deals with triggers that do _not_ reference the blob columns--but I think they're related, so I'm creating this as subtask to 438 ]. In such a case, if the trigger is fired, the blob data will be streamed into memory and thus consume JVM heap, even though it (the blob data) is never actually referenced/accessed by the trigger statement. > For example, suppose we have the following DDL: > create table t1 (id int, status smallint, bl blob(2G)); > create table t2 (id int, updated int default 0); > create trigger tr1 after update of status on t1 referencing new as n_row for each row mode db2sql update t2 set updated = updated + 1 where t2.id = n_row.id; > Then if t1 and t2 both have data and we make a call to: > update t1 set status = 3; > the trigger tr1 will fire, which will cause the blob column in t1 to be streamed into memory for each row affected by the trigger. The result is that, if the blob data is large, we end up using a lot of JVM memory when we really shouldn't have to (at least, in _theory_ we shouldn't have to...). > Ideally, Derby could figure out whether or not the blob column is referenced, and avoid streaming the lob into memory whenever possible (hence this is probably more of an "enhancement" request than a bug)... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

AP Government constituted Committees to honour the film and television personalities who excelled in their respective roles with Nandi Awards.
While veteran actress Jayasudha will be the chairperson for 2012 Committee, Director Kodi Ramakrishna would head the 2013 Panel. Well-known film personalities Gunnam Gangaraju, Sekhar Kammula, Chandra Siddhartha, Nandini Reddy, Kavitha and Delhi Rajeswari will act as advisors for these two committees.
Nandi Awards Function would be held in Vijayawada in June next year to felicitate excellence in the field of Television and TV.
No one knows, Why AP Government decided to concentrate on 2012 & 2013 alone? What about 2014, 2015 & 2016?

Technology In Action, 1983
And the illustration of the dot-matrix printer paper is pretty slammin', too. See how it shows some rad futuristic action by having the stack of paper thrust and curl itself at you? That stuff prints all by itself! Because that's what's supposed to happen in the future--paper prints stuff all by itself, robots clean the house after you teleport to work, and children are grown hydroponically.
Oh, and everything smells like plastic and all the music sounds exactly like the Kraftwerk song "Computer World". Really.
Since it is after all 1983, we offer a Ghostbusters quote: "I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought" because, ya know, I live in The Future and it's all pretty horrifying here what with all the teleporting robots and plastic children and all.

So I have to go under Program Files, Mozilla Firefox, and use the real copy from there.
This is the case with anything, including the god [bleep] system registry! I type in run / regedit, and it asks me to select a program to run it.
I cant select "always use this program" either.
PLEASE HELP ME! Is there any way I can fix this without using the Windows XP disc? Like most people I don't have the disc - I got my computer from Dell 3 years ago and all I have is the authentication key.
Please, I'm desperate!!!

The cross screen CTR proved 72% higher than single screen; the cross screen CVR proved 57% higher than on single screen.
Each average player submitted information three times for this online promotion, which is 38% higher than last year's online activity.
Minute Maid's marketing team wanted to reach potential consumers likely to purchase Minute Maid products through an online activity: a lottery game designed to spur them to submit a product code printed on the bottle. They sought to drive as many leads as possible, while optimizing the cost of each lead (CPL).
We helped Minute Maid to identify all devices owned by the same user and expand the reach of similar audiences by utilizing CrossX AI and Lookalike.
To increase reach among specific groups of users interested in the Minute Maid, we applied an enhanced buying feature to reach them and delivered more ad exposures to those users the AI selected, especially those who had browsed information about games and visited the Minute Maid campaign site.
Finally, we remarketed across screens to players who had participated in the activity to re-engage them in the online activity.
Viewed by day of week, users are more likely to visit/convert via smartphones, and Saturdays saw the highest number of actions taken.
The number of users visiting Minute Maid campaign site peaked at 12PM across all screens.
Users aged 19-24 showed the highest likelihood to take action, followed by users aged 25-34.
Users with phone + tablet proved key to driving awareness: the CTR within the phone/tablet path was up to 114% higher than on single screen.
On average, each cross screen user took one action after clicking on ads three times.
There were more conversions via top path: (Starting device: Phone→ Browse device: PC & Phone→ Conversion device: PC)
There was less time spent on site via the second top path (Starting device: PC→ Browse device: PC & Phone→ Conversion device: Phone)
Remarketing to consumers who first clicked ads on smartphone dramatically increased the overall CVR by 501%, compared to average CVR—all combinations of source devices to PC.
Otsuka Kagu is a leading Japanese furniture retailer which maintains showrooms with a large selection of furniture and interior accessories throughout Japan. The retailer partnered with Appier to reach a target audience on every screen, achieving a cross screen CTR 55% higher than single screen.

Craft beer in America goes flat
The Economist
A slowing beer market and the might of AB InBev has small brewers worried
JULY 4th is a day to celebrate American independence, first and foremost, but also to grill meat and swill beer. For American beer lovers in particular, the pint-glass runneth over in terms of choice. They had 5,000 breweries to pick from this year; 35 years ago there were under 100. Drinkers can enjoy time-honoured traditions, guzzling Budweiser to wash down all that sizzling beef, and newer ones such as sipping ale finished with fennel, liquorice and anise at Tørst, a Brooklyn bar.
For the producers of beer, the mood is darker. Though the number of brands has proliferated, the number of drinkers has not. Sales have been flat for a few years and 2017 has been especially slow so far. The volumes of beer sold at stores for the three months to June 17th were 1% lower than in the same period last year, according to Nielsen, a market-research firm. Brewers are now waiting with some anxiety for data about sales during the July 4th holiday. The start of the year has been as bad as I can remember, says Trevor Stirling of Sanford C. Bernstein, a research firm.
The dip is the result of two problems, one old and one new. First, the consumption of wine and spirits is growing more quickly than that of beer, and has been for nearly 20 years. Women are drinking more booze but often prefer wine and spirits. Men are turning to a wider range of drinks, including whisky and wine.
The second difficulty is that after years of effervescent growth, craft beer has gone flat. Volumes grew in 2016, but half as quickly as in 2015 (see chart). In the 13 weeks to June 17th craft-beer sales and volumes both dropped, by 0.7% and 1.5%, respectively. It may be that craft beer has reached its natural limit, both because there are only so many people who want to buy it and because there is only so much shelf-space that stores can provide.
Olivier Nicolai of Morgan Stanley, a bank, notes that many distributors and retailers are weary of dealing with a jumble of brands, with some cases of beer going bad before they can be sold. It is hard for retailers to know which beers to stock because consumers, spoiled for choice, have proved fickle. Sales of Saison farmhouse beers, a spicy pale ale, for example, rose by 28% in 2015, according to Nielsen, only to fall in 2016.

EuroMillions: £45m winner 'had only played a few times'
A young Nottinghamshire woman who won the £45m EuroMillions jackpot said she had only played the lottery about half a dozen times.
Cassey Carrington and Matt Topham, both aged 22 and from Stapleford, played the lottery online and won £45,160,170.50 in Tuesday's rollover draw.
Miss Carrington said she was feeling lucky after receiving a bonus at work, so set up an online account.
It is the second major EuroMillions win in the county in three weeks.
Gareth and Catherine Bull, from Mansfield, won £40m in the EuroMillions draw on 20 January.
Friends and family
Miss Carrington, who worked as a supermarket supervisor, said she set up her lottery account after receiving a share of £10,000 for good sales results and played Friday's EuroMillions and Saturday's lottery draws without success.
"I did have a feeling I was going to win," she said.
"I have only played the lottery about half a dozen times, when I am feeling lucky, and had already won £10 twice."
However, the couple felt their luck had run out on Tuesday after their computer and washing machine broke down on the same day.
Mr Topham said they were wondering how they could afford to replace them, while also paying for their upcoming wedding, when Miss Carrington decided to check her ticket.
Miss Carrington said they were reluctant to start celebrating until they could confirm their win as the lottery line was not open until 08:00 the following morning.
"By this point, we had seen the prizes, we were sure we had the right numbers and we were constantly thinking we can do this or buy that," she said.
"We didn't get much sleep at all."
Mr Topham, a painter and decorator with the family firm, said the couple were looking forward to helping friends and family with their winnings.
"We can help friends get a house, it is so difficult these days to get a deposit and mortgage so it's great we can help them," he said.
"Also Dad can finally hang up his paintbrushes and relax."
'Dream home'
In addition to paying off their parents' mortgages, Miss Carrington and Mr Topham said they were looking forward to expanding their budget for their September wedding.
"I had made the invitations and was starting work on the centre pieces, all to save money," said Miss Carrington.
"We can now get a big firework display and some entertainment in the evening. It will be our dream day."
Mr Topham said they would now like to build their dream home and travel and Miss Carrington said she "really wanted an Aston Martin".
"I have often painted these huge houses and wondered what it would be like to live in one, now I can find out," said Mr Topham.
The prize is the seventh largest win in the UK, Camelot said.
A spokesman said: "It is fantastic news to have another UK winner so soon after Gareth and Catherine Bull from Mansfield won £40m."
Mr and Mrs Bull's win came from a lucky dip ticket.
The biggest EuroMillions prize was a £161m jackpot won by Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs, Scotland, last July.
Nine countries - the UK, the Republic of Ireland, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Austria - participate in EuroMillions.

SACRAMENTO — The Senate Rules Committee, meeting behind closed doors, agreed Friday to adopt a new policy of voting in public when they decide to spend taxpayers' money on personal benefits for themselves or their staffs.
In the future, the powerful committee will hold open meetings when discussing such issues as increasing senators' health benefits, buying them insurance or hiking their car allowances, said Senate President Pro Tem David A. Roberti (D-Los Angeles), who also serves as chairman of the committee.
Roberti said the five-member panel's decision reflected the desire on its part to resolve "what we think are the reasonable concerns of the public and the news media."
Last month, The Times documented how members of both the Senate and the Assembly met in private to vote lawmakers at least $1 million in benefits such as life insurance, airline tickets, car telephones and increases in senators' car allowances.

Losing weight can be tough and very stressful. Sometimes, we pressure ourselves too much, and that's the reason why we can't see the results! But there is no need to worry, because this happens to everyone who wants to lose weight. That's why weight loss challenges are a fun way to lose weight- they are not dull, they break the routine, and you are more likely to succeed when you're having a good time! We made a list of 15 fun, but still, very effective weight loss challenges that will actually help you finally shed those extra pounds.

- Have you ever heard of the five week pyramid challenge? Obviously, it's about the food pyramid, but what exactly about it? The point of this challenge is to finally understand the values and the importance of the food pyramid.

Then, you can start the challenge: every day for one week have the correct number of proper portions for your weight loss goal. For example, have a Grain Week, Vegetable Week, Dairy Week etc.

images:: James Franco {top}, beyondhollywood; Franco, Kate Mara, & Amber Tamblyn {bottom}, imdb
I was hearing good things about Danny Boyle's "127 Hours", but I purposefully avoided reading up on Aron Ralston. I was wondering how this was going to play out, since depicting 127 hours of a trapped guy could get claustrophobic for all involved. Was Aron going to unravel? Was there going to be some man vs. nature struggles? Hallucinations? Deliverance types? Were the young women he met going to be instrumental in a rescue?
image:: still from aronralston.blogspot.com
I'm pretty jaded and I can see gore and horror these days without too much effect. 127 Hours doesn't sugarcoat what happened and not only creates dramatic tension surrounding it, it draws it out with sheer intensity. Someone behind me in Toronto made it through the worst of it and then had to leave his seat. I think audiences have come to expect depictions of pain to be relatively quick. Shock, awe, and horror encapsulated within a few seconds, e.g., The Final Destination, but that's not the point here and not the genre. 127 Hours taps into deep introspection by creating a dire situation where the life goes from frenetic to painstakingly s l o w. The title sequence depicts not only the pace of modern, urban life, but its routine and structure. Aron's vacation in Utah's Canyonlands {Bluejohn Canyon} starts out with his "extreme" Mountain Dew lifestyle, only to slam to an abrupt halt. The experience helps him to see things, things in his life—warts and all, and rather than being a struggle with external elements, it's his coming to terms with himself. I never thought much of James Franco as an actor {best known for his work in the Spiderman franchise & an alum of Apatow's Freaks & Geeks}, but after this and Milk {2008}, I'm thinking that meatier roles may be heading his way.
I felt that Boyle and his cinematographers, Enrique Chediak and Anthony Dod Mantle, did a great job of depicting the natural setting without overdoing it with the grandeur and vastness of the Canyonlands.
The effect of this movie isn't a ponderous one. It hits you with intensity making you think about his ordeal, but also placing yourself in his shoes—perhaps with your own existential baggage.
Twitterversion:: [blog] Danny Boyle's "127 Hours" creates sheer intensity amidst an existential journey. @Prof_K
