Seasonnal Variations of C- and Ku-bands Basckscattering from Altimeters and Scatterometers over West-Africa
Fatras, Christophe1; Frappart, Frédéric1; Mougin, Eric1; Frison, Pierre-Louis2; Faye, Gayane3; Jarlan, Lionel4
1Geosciences Environnement Toulouse, FRANCE; 2Université Marne-la-vallée, FRANCE; 3Université Cheikh Anta DIOP, SENEGAL; 4Cesbio, FRANCE
The variations of the backscattering responses of land surfaces in West Africa have been studied time wise for different spaceborne sensors: the nadir-looking radar altimeters and the side-looking radar scatterometers at different frequencies (Ku and C bands). We compared ESA's Envisat-RA2 measurements in Ku-band over the period 2003-2010, and the Jason-2 measurements in C-band over the mid 2008-2011 time span for radar altimetry. For radar scatterometry, we used QuikScat in Ku-band and ESA's Metop-ASCAT in C-band data over the corresponding same time-spans. Along-track profiles and their temporal variations are analyzed and their behaviours are related to surfaces properties such as soil types, vegetation cover, and surface hydrology.
Temporal variations of backscattering coefficients are extracted for main land covers along the bio-climatic transect (stone and sand deserts, saharo-sahelian, sahelian, and soudano-sahelian savannahs, tropical-seasonal and tropical forests,) and compared to both rainfall estimates from TRMM and vegetation activity (NDVI) from MODIS. Ranges of variations of the backscattering signals are given for different surfaces and ecosystems along with delays between peaks of rainfall, backscattering responses of radar altimetry and scatterometry, and vegetation activity. The stability of the backscattering is also estimated over deserts and during the dry season over Sahelian environments. Finally, the complementarity of the different spaceborne sensors for continental surfaces monitoring is pointed out.

The Escola de Pastors de Catalunya (Shepherding School of Catalonia), an ambitious project aimed at restoring and injecting new life into the livestock sector, is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, unfazed by the pessimistic views of those quick to dismiss shepherding as a dying profession.
One of the chief aims of the initiative is to ensure the generational renewal critically needed in the livestock sector, as most rural regions in Spain are suffering from high levels of depopulation, with the flight of younger generations to the cities and ageing populations becoming almost chronic trends.
The students, around twenty on each course, undergo two months of theoretical training and four months of hands-on training in livestock farms across Catalonia and the French Pyrenees. As in previous years, the school has welcomed students from all the provinces of Catalonia, as well as other parts of Spain, such as Aragon and the Basque Country, and an ever-increasing range of other countries.
Most are young, in their late twenties, early thirties, and have chosen to take the course primarily out of vocation. In addition to training, the school offers its students access to a range of associated projects, including a land bank, a job pool, advice on new agricultural projects and artisanal product marketing.
With close to 80 per cent of its former students turning to livestock farming after completing the course, the educational institution is playing a vital role in reviving the rural sector.
The newly-trained shepherds, whether born or not into a family with a livestock breeding tradition, learn to question themselves and to redefine the mainstream trading model. Talks given during the formal training also, therefore, cover concepts such as sustainability, direct sales, food sovereignty, downsizing (the amount of livestock, with a view to distancing themselves from agribusiness), environmentally sound production, women's integration into the rural world and repopulation.
Not surprisingly, on completing the training, many graduates choose to take on the challenge of launching their own projects: they want to do things their own way. Differently.
The Shepherding School of Catalonia is not the only one of its kind. The Gomiztegui farmhouse in Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, has been operating as a training centre for young shepherds for over two decades, making it a pioneer in Spain. Other regions like Aragon, Asturias, Extremadura, Murcia or Caceres have opened schools offering official training courses with varying regularity. Spain, as well as France, Belgium, Romania, the United Kingdom and several other European countries, is seeing an increase in both the supply and the demand for this type of livestock farming training.
"As the awareness around what we eat and its impact [on health and the environment] grows, so does the emphasis on producing more healthy and locally-grown foods. As a result, more and more people are showing an interest in covering the population's [food] demand, as shown by the wide range of projects and support networks that are emerging, facilitating access to land, advice, training, etc.," Maria Díaz de Quijano, a trainer at the school, told Equal Times.
In Catalonia, a number of initiatives have now joined the Shepherding School in shaping what is already considered the first generational renewal seen in the world of shepherding in the last 40 years. For some, the return to agriculture is seen as a, perhaps desperate, alternative to unemployment. But for most, it is about living their lives in keeping with their principles.
Either way, this renewal, together with the profile of the newly-trained shepherds, opens up new hope for a long awaited change in the Catalan livestock sector. An entire new generation is moving forward with the conviction that it is possible to live without the practices of the agribusiness model. They are ready to transform the links between the shepherds and their environment and the community to which they belong. The transformation is already underway.
Eloy completed his internship in a farm in Escas, in the Catalan Pyrenees. Students from the Shepherding School undergo two months of formal training and four months of training on farms, under the supervision of experienced shepherds.
The young shepherds are joining the sector in different ways. Many set up their own farms or projects from scratch, with a 'sustainable' amount of livestock. The meaning of the term 'sustainability' varies "according to the animal and the purpose it is intended for," explains Díaz de Quijano. "For instance, if it is for producing milk, 20 cows would be considered a sustainable amount. Whereas a flock of sheep for meat production could go up to 300, or 100 if it is for milk used in cheese production," he adds.
Another common option is to work as a salaried mountain shepherd, taking care of large herds during the summer, the transhumance period.
He is currently working on his own project with goats in an urban setting in Begues, Barcelona. The goats clear the weeds and by doing so create safe area, preventing forest fires. Sisco did not want to move to a rural area. His aim was to be able to work as a shepherd in his hometown of Begues.
Eloy works in his hometown, near Barcelona. His dream on joining the Escola de Pastors, in 2010, was to be able to work as a shepherd near Mataro, an urban setting within the province of Barcelona (where shepherding had all but disappeared). Although things were far from easy, Eloy initially found a job as a shepherd. He then went on to buy 80 goats to start up his own business. He currently plans to carry on working with few animals, in a sustainable manner.
In the European Union, young people under the age of 40 can apply for European Community funding (through the agricultural departments of each country/region) to carrying out such projects.
The integration of women in the sector is one of the main innovations brought about by this new generation of shepherds, in terms of breaking the mould in what is otherwise a highly masculinised sector. Whereas in 2017, the total amount of female students did not exceed 27 per cent, they reached 41 per cent this year. For Díaz de Quijano, this is thanks to the example set by the pioneers as of the moment they left the school, pitching projects of the highest quality and interest, not to mention the media attention they have drawn.

Inside the Corpse Palace.
Many Presbyters of the Corpse Sect were sitting on coffins, training. They were absorbing the odd energy gushing out from the coffins.
Yin Hai was anxious, and his wrinkled face was covered with a nervous expression.
"Yin Hai, go to the No.93 burial site at once. Your two Sky Corpses are slaughtering my disciples without anyone's order!" The Palace Lord's hoa.r.s.e voice came from the bottom of the Corpse Palace.
All the presbyters present in the large Corpse Palace woke up and looked at Yin Hai in confusion.
Yin Hai looked serious as he kneeled on the coffin, "Yes I will go right now."
"Jing Song, you go with Yin Hai and find out what happened." The Palace Lord ordered again.
The presbyter on the coffin near Yin Hai also kneeled down, "Yes my lord."
"Go and find out why the two Sky Corpses are behaving unusually. Let me know as soon as possible."
"Yes my lord."
On the iron ship.
Shi Yan was sprawled out on the deck. He was completely exhausted.
As he overused his Spirit Power and was also suffering a backlash from using Rampage, his body and spirit were both exhausted. However, his meridians were still being purified by his Profound Qi.
The iron ship had left the burial site.Yet, Shi Yan could still hear the screams coming from the burial site, which was now miles away.
Under the moonlight, the burial site was still filled with fear.
After boarding the ship, Shi Yan injected Spirit Power into the Blood Vein Ring and ordered the two corpses to slaughter everyone on the island.
Shi Yan didn't know how long the two Heaven Corpses would follow his orders, so he was simply satisfied with safely leaving the island.
Xia Xinyan disappeared as soon as she boarded the ship. She went to sail the ship.
Spreading his limbs, Shi Yan gazed at the stars, which gave out wisps of power, which concentrated at his heart.
What a pity that he couldn't use his Star Martial Spirit! Shi Yan could only sigh in resignation.
In recent days, the Star Martial Spirit kept absorbing power from the stars. He could feel the unusual energy gathering in his heart.
However, he couldn't figure out how to use the Star Martial Spirit.
"Are you ok?" Xia Xinyan suddenly popped up and asked, her voice filled with concern.
"I'm ok right now." Shi Yan smiled bitterly, "Find some chains, on this ship, and strap me tightly to the ship."
Xia Xinyan yelled in astonishment, "What are you going to do?"
"The Martial Skill I operated is strange. After using, it will create a backlash in my body. It can take away my reasoning and make me go crazy. Strap me in, or I'm afraid I will do something terrible to you." Shi Yan gazed at her seriously.
" What will you do?" Xia Xinyan's expression changed.
"Do you still remember when we met?" Shi Yan took a breath, "I was driven crazy by my Martial Skill and had to go to the Misty Pavilion to release the pressure on those girls."
"I will chain you up!"
Xia Xinyan was decisive, and she quickly left to get those shackles.
A few minutes later.
Shi Yan was completely tied up by the shackles, which were as thick as a man's arm.
The shackles were dark, and there was cold air gushing out from them.
"These shackles are made of an unusual metal. Even warriors of the Nirvana Realm couldn't break through it." Xia Xinyan wiped the sweat off her forehead. Feeling weak, she sat down, cross-legged, five meters away from Shi Yan, and focused her crystal-like eyes on Shi Yan.
All the meridians in Shi Yan's body were producing negative energy, which was quickly corroding away his reasoning.
With a hideous face, tortured by the murderous bloodthirst, Shi Yan was breathing heavily, "That's great."
"The last time in the Misty Pavilion, you slept with the girls because of this backlash? And the time in the Ling Family too?" Xia Xinyan asked with a complex expression, "So all this time I was misunderstanding you?"
"More or less." Shi Yan grinned, "The power of the backlash does ruin my reasoning and expand the negative will. However, that negative will is still my true intentions. In general, I'm a bad guy."
Xia Xinyan was shocked.
"When my reasoning becomes clear, then immediately come to my side." Shi Yan yelled and then his body began to tremble.
The Profound Qi, which was purifying in his meridians, grew faster and faster as negative emotions penetrated his mind and heart.
He couldn't control himself.
"Let me help you recover your Martial Spirit!"
"Huh? How?"
"Remember what I said!"
Shi Yan shouted, and stood up like a monster, the shackles ringing loudly.
At that moment, Shi Yan's eyes showed not the slightest bit of human emotions. He was like a bloodthirsty monster from h.e.l.l. His body emitted an endless murderous aura, which seemed to want to terminate the world.
Xia Xinyan's expression shifted, and she took a few steps back and stayed at a distance from Shi Yan.
In such short time, Shi Yan turned from a lucid man to a monster, which shocked Xia Xinyan. She finally realized that Shi Yan was not joking.
As he said, this backlash could eat up his reasoning and bring out his darker intentions.
On the deck, strapped by the shackles, Shi Yan was struggling and howling, using all of his strength to try and get rid of the shackles.
His howls echoed over the silent sea.
Xia Xinyan's eyes sparkled as she stared at Shi Yan.
After a long long time, Shi Yan's howls lost their energy and he laid on the deck quivering.
The bloodthirsty and murderous aura was damaging his body, and so he was covered with blood.
After operating Rampage, his body was already weak, but due to the backlash, Shi Yan was now hurt again. Even his veins and bones were severely damaged.
Covered with blood, Shi Yan's eyes were unclear.
Xia Xinyan was astonished.
Shi Yan was too strong! After that round of crazy howl, his murderous will was still present.
What kind of terrifying Martial Skill was this?
Xia Xinyan was astonished. Shi Yan was like a mysterious, deep pond, full of secrets.
Shi Yan's howls got weaker and weaker.
Gradually, he quieted down, and his dull eyes came clear.
"Come... come here." Shi Yan opened his mouth wide, and, with an extremely weak and quiet voice, beckoned Xia Xinyan.
Showered in blood, Shi Yan looked to be in a tremendous amount of pain, but he was still concerned with helping Xia Xinyan recover.
Xia Xinyan was moved as she slowly walked to Shi Yan, softly saying, "Have a good rest. I'm not in a hurry. I will protect you from now on! Now take care of yourself."
Xia Xinyan couldn't be softer.
"I can't help later if I don't help you now." Shi Yan struggled to reach out one of his hands, "Grab my hand! Quick!"
Xia Xinyan was stunned and touched that b.l.o.o.d.y hand.
Wisps of odd energy flew out from Shi Yan's palm...
It went into Xia Xinyan's arm and flew to her chest, concentrating at the center of her Incarnation Martial Spirit and nourishing it.
Xia Xinyan's body quivered, and her eyes sparkled.
She could clearly feel that, under the nourishment, her wounded Reincarnation Martial Spirit was quickly recovering.
That odd energy was even more effective than pills.
Drenched in blood, Shi Yan showed an ugly smile, "See? I didn't lie."
"No, you didn't." Xia Xinyan's voice was soft and sweet, as she quietly stared at Shi Yan.
"It's ok now. Have a rest, you will recover before dawn." Shi Yan withdrew his hand and smiled, "Now I can count on you."
"I won't let anyone harm you as long as I'm alive." Xia Xinyan nodded and said softly, "Have a good rest."
Shi Yan slowly closed his eyes, and laid back on the deck.
Inside his bleeding body, the Immortal Martial Spirit was operating, quietly recovering his body.
Soon, the bleeding stopped, and the wounds on his skin started rapidly recovering...
Xia Xinyan didn't immediately rest but gazed at Shi Yan attentively.
Ten minutes later, when she found that Shi Yan body had recovered, Xia Xinyan settled down and sat beside Shi Yan, beginning to train and recovering her strength.

Humans have some of the biggest brains and it's not only for problem solving. Why we have big brains might just surprise you...

Why Are Human Brains So Big?
"There are many ways to try to explain why human brains today are so big compared to those of early humans, but the major cause may be social competition, new research suggests. But with several competing ideas, the issue remains a matter of debate. Compared to almost all other animals, human brains are larger as a percentage of body weight. And since the emergence of the first species in our Homo genus (Homo habilis) about 2 million years ago, the human brain has doubled in size."
A Potential Role For Glucose Transporters In The Evolution Of Human Brain Size
"Differences in cognitive abilities and the relatively large brain are among the most striking differences between humans and their closest primate relatives. The energy trade-off hypothesis predicts that a major shift in energy allocation among tissues occurred during human origins in order to support the remarkable expansion of a metabolically expensive brain. However, the molecular basis of this adaptive scenario is unknown. Two glucose transporters (SLC2A1 and SLC2A4) are promising candidates and present intriguing mutations in humans, resulting, respectively, in microcephaly and disruptions in whole-body glucose homeostasis."
Ask A Neuroscientist: Does A Bigger Brain Make You Smarter?
"The relationship between brain size and intelligence, both amongst humans and between different species, has never been particularly well-defined. Humans like to believe that our exceptional cognitive abilities must indicate that we are the kings of the animal kingdom in terms of brain size, or at least that we have the largest brains relative to our body size. As nature would have it, both of these common assumptions are incorrect."

"Where did they go?"
"I know where they are."
Two cannibals just targeted two young boys. Now they were heading to the ruined walls to find their victims.
"Let's go home," one of them hissed.
"Don't be ridiculous! Our family will be proud of us for catching two people at once."
"I have a bad feeling."
"Nonsense! Stop being a crybaby."
They sneaked and entered the ruined walls. In every direction their eyes adventured, they did not find the boys, only some bones lying by a solid stone. As they moved their legs again, they stomped something and finally made them being trapped in a net that hanging from a tree.
They heard someone talking, a man with a beard. "Good job, boys."
"Honey, boil the water," said a woman to the young maiden.
"They are fat and seem delicious."
"We're going to have a great dinner!"

Chicken and potato curry
Letting the chicken pieces sit for half an hour in a gingery marinade makes all the difference to this curry. Skinning the chicken not only does away with most of the bird's fat, it also lets the spicy flavours really permeate the flesh. Potatoes make a great addition, adding bulk to the curry.
- 1 chicken, about 1.35 kg, jointed into 8 pieces
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- 4 cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- juice of ½ lemon
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 1 dried red chilli, broken into 2–3 pieces
- 1 teaspoon brown or black mustard seeds
- ½ teaspoon fennel seeds
- ¼ teaspoon cumin seeds
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chickpea flour (gram flour)
- 3 cloves garlic, roughly crushed
- ½ green capsicum, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 can chopped tomatoes, about 400 g250 g potatoes, peeled
- ¼ green cabbage, about 140 g, thinly sliced
- 1 cup (155 g) frozen peas, thawed with boiling water and drained
- salt and pepper
- Remove the skin from the chicken joints.
- Cut 3–4 slashes in the flesh of each joint, right to the bone.
- Rub the turmeric, ginger, lemon juice and a little salt all over the chicken joints, then leave to marinate for about 30 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy–based frying pan.
- Add the dried chilli, mustard seeds, fennel seeds and cumin seeds, and let them sputter and pop for a few minutes.
- Stir in the ground cumin, cinnamon and chickpea flour.
- Watch carefully to be sure you do not burn the spices, as this can happen very quickly.
- Add the garlic, capsicum and onion to the spice mixture and cook for a few minutes, stirring.
- Add the chicken and tomatoes and stir to mix.
- Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling water for 5 minutes; drain and cut into bite–sized pieces.
- Blanch the cabbage in a separate pan of boiling water for 1 minute, then drain.
- Add the potatoes and cabbage to the curried chicken and stir in.
- Cover the pan again and continue to simmer over a moderately low heat for 20–25 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked and tender.
- Add the peas and warm through for a few minutes.
- Serve hot, with Indian breads and pickles.
Serves 4
Preparation: 30 minutes, plus 30 minutes marinating

Vastavam web: President Donald Trump said today he wants to use the G7 summit to resolve what he called unfair trade deals with US allies."Looking forward to straightening out unfair Trade Deals with the G-7 countries. If it doesn't happen, we come out even better!," Trump wrote as part of a blast of early morning tweets ahead of the meeting today and tomorrow in Canada.
America's closest allies are bracing for a showdown with Trump at the G7 summit, as anger at being slapped with trade tariffs by their most powerful member threatened to split the club.Much of his fellow members' anger stems from Trump's recent imposition of tariffs on imported steel and aluminum.

Attention Roofing Contractors/Customers
Solid Waste / Landfill
The landfill uses roofing as a source material for alternate daily cover. Our plan of operation limits us in what qualifies as suitable roofing for daily cover. As such we will be
rejecting loads of roofing that contain ineligible materials after July 1, 2017
and charge such loads the garbage rate (currently $60 per ton vs. $39 per ton for roofing).
To qualify as suitable roofing, loads may contain the following: Asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, tar paper, drip edge, nails, chimney brick and ridge venting.
If loads contain the following mixed in with the shingles they will be charged as garbage: paper, synthetic underlayment, rubber membrane, plastic wrappers, card board, styrofoam and other garbage, tires, tarps and wood sheathing or underlayment. Such items can be brought in and kept separate or in contractor bags and then deposited in the landfill and if they are a minor part of the load, the load will still quality as roofing.
Your cooperation is appreciated.

Two cases of the Zika virus have been confirmed in Ireland, the country's health service said on Tuesday night. The Health Service Executive said two people – a male and an older woman – had contracted the virus. Both individuals are believed to be recovering from the Zika virus, the HSE in Dublin said tonight.
The pair both have a history of travel to Zika virus-affected countries, but the cases are unrelated, the HSE added. It said the woman concerned was not at risk of pregnancy.
In a statement tonight, the HSE said that infection usually results in a mild illness that usually lasts between two and seven days. The statement advised people who become ill within two weeks of their return to Ireland from an affected area to contact their doctor for assessment.

Bio Energy by TR Supplements
Bio Energy by TR Supplements is a very simple, but extremely effective mix of L-Theanine and Caffeine. These two ingredients work well together and the result is increased energy levels and a clear focus. Many studies have proven that the right combination of L-Theanine and Caffeine can keep the positive effects of the two ingredients while eliminating side effects like jitters you get from caffeine. As a result, you will feel energized and focused.
To stay on top of our game, we often turn to unhealthy solutions like drinking coffee and energy drinks. We all feel the sudden energy rush from a drink that's packed with caffeine and sugar, but we also experience the crashes that come when the initial boost is over. Not to mention other side effects that can eventually lead to serious health problems in the future.
There is a way to increase your energy levels in a natural way without compromising your health in any way. The type of food supplements that provide energy and improve cognitive functions are called nootropics. Bio Energy by TR Supplements is currently one of the best and most popular nootropics for energy on the market.
As its name suggests, this product is a mix of natural ingredients that work in synergy. L-Theanine and Caffeine usually have totally different effects, but when they are mixed right, they work together and help you regain energy. We will explain exactly how things work in the section below.
When the going gets tough and you need something to help you push through the day, Bio Energy is the answer. This effective supplement provides extra energy and a clear and focused mind without exceptions. You don't have to worry about any side effects because there are none!
Since there are so many different supplements available on the market, why is Bio Energy different? Well, most supplements claim that they have the right mix of ingredients that work together to give you the boost you need, but that is often not true. What you really get is a watered down mix of ingredients that don't really do the job they were supposed to. In order to make a supplement effective, you can't have many ingredients because the capsules they are packed into are pretty small. Instead of mixing a little bit of a dozen ingredients, Bio Energy adds only L-Theanine and caffeine to the mix as it's formulated to be potent and effective.
Benefits of Bio Energy:
If you are looking for a way to increase your focus and energy, Bio Energy is the perfect choice. The creators of this supplement are so sure of its effectiveness, it comes with a money-back guarantee. When something comes with a money-back guarantee, you can be almost sure that the product is legit. Bio Energy is a 60-day money back guarantee so you don't really have anything to lose. But most important benefits that you can expect from using Unleashed Energy:
Provides Smooth Energy and Clear Focus
Bio Energy is one of the best nootropic food supplements on the market simply because it delivers as promised while many other supplements have unwanted side effects and they don't really do what they were supposed to. Bio Energy combines only two ingredients that work in synergy – L-Theanine and Caffeine. Scientists worked hard to figure out the right amount of these ingredients to keep the positive effects and eliminate the negative ones. That is why this product really works and provides the focus and energy you need to cope with the modern way of life.
Research Can Back Them Up
Since there are so many frauds on the market, people approach supplements like Bio Energy with caution because of the negative experiences they had before. The International Society of Sports Nutrition has done some testing on this product and they concluded that this mix of Caffeine and L-Theanine really does improve cognitive functions and increases awareness. You can easily improve your brain's performance with Bio Energy.
Improve the Quality of Your Life while Staying Safe
The company behind Bio Energy wants to help people live better. That is why they take their supplement development and production very seriously and why they use only natural ingredients. It is a well-known fact that most of us don't intake all the nutrients our body needs and Bio Energy is looking to change that. Their ingredients are not only 100% natural, they are gluten free and Non-Gmo. The products are also certified and FDA approved.
Focus Boost in Minutes
Modern life is demanding and finding the energy to cope with work and family responsibilities can be hard sometimes. Many people work two jobs, take care of their families which eventually leads them into a state of irritation and nervousness. Some of them turn to coffee and soft drinks looking for the energy boost they need. That often results in jitters and crashes that make everyday responsibilities even harder. Bio Energy was created to give focus and energy, without the crashes later on.
Bio Energy by TR Supplements
Feeling tired and exhausted is sadly a part of the modern way of life. That is why people often turn to all kinds of supplements and unhealthy energy drinks, coffee, and other substances that increase energy. They often deteriorate their health by these energy boosters, but there is always a healthy solution. Bio Energy is a natural mix of Caffeine and L-Theanine that gives you smooth energy and focus you need to get through the day.
It makes you feel better and motivated like nothing else on the market. One try and you will forget about coffee and energy drinks for good. Try it and see for yourself.

Revolutions in transportation
#doMoreFaster is the motto of Techstars, an elite accelerator program that I had the good fortune to attend last year. I feel that in 3 words they have encapsulated one of the most powerful psychological drives at the root of human progress. In this post, I will reflect on this dictum within the context of revolutions in transportation technology that have helped humanity 'do more faster.' Each of these revolutions swapped out a single component of the previous transportation system but enabled an order of magnitude increase in our transportation capability.
The first revolution in transportation was the development of wheel; it helped early humans carry goods more efficiently, thereby increasing the load and the range of transportation. Next revolution replaced the engine of transportation, from humans to domesticated animals such as cattle, horse, etc. This revolution again increased the load and the range of transportation as these animals had more muscle mass and energy reserves than humans. In some cultures, the order of these two developments was reversed. Nonetheless, people used this basic transportation system (of animals and wheels) to #doMoreFaster for many millennia. The next revolution in transportation replaced animal power with mechanical power, initially through the steam engine and eventually through the internal combustion engine. A vestige of that change is the tradition of using horsepower for rating mechanical engines that has persisted even to this day. The adoption of the mechanical engine not only saved our metropolises from omnipresent mounds of horse-poo but raised the society's collective #doMoreFaster capability to another level and helped create the boom in human population, technology, and economy witnessed in the past 150 years. Only with mechanical engines could we arrive at the absurdity of having a single person being transported by 800 horses*. We positively shame the monarchs of yore.
The next revolution in transportation again swaps out a single component; it will replace the human controller of the transportation system (drivers of chariots, wagons, or cars) with a machine controller aka AI. Since the benefits of driverless cars have been belabored elsewhere on the internet, I will only say that we will be taking the #doMoreFaster ethos to the next level with this coming revolution. Even though some herald the development of electric cars as a revolution, I am hesitant to conform to that view. Electricity instead of fossil fuel (or synthetic fuels) is certainly an improvement in how our transportation activities impact the biosphere but certainly doesn't qualify as a quantum jump in our capabilities. Does it help us #doMoreFaster?
So far, I have only talked about how successive revolutions in the transportation of physical objects helped humanity #doMoreFaster. There is another set of revolutions that happened in parallel throughout human history. These revolutions also impacted transportation – the transportation of information. First through the development of written symbols and language, then through the Gutenberg press, the telegraph, the radio, and finally the internet.
We are now at an unprecedented stage in the evolution of our civilization where these two transportations systems – one for goods and other for information – will intersect powerfully just as the driverless revolution is unfolding. The groundwork has been laid. Firstly, the real-time access to the internet through mobile devices has unleashed the on-demand ride-sharing economy of Uber and Lyft among others. Whatever we think of this disruption or of the people who caused it, it is a disruption nevertheless and whose #doMoreFaster merits can only be denied by the most extreme of Luddites. Add the connected driverless car to this equation, and not only you now have drastically reduced transportation cost and road fatalities but the plethora of 2nd and 3rd order consequences that are yet to be imagined. Consider a fleet of autonomous vehicles that are being dispatched and routed optimally in a local population center by a central 'AI controller,' where individual vehicles can run 24x7 for weeks or months on end because the vehicles are electric and can continuously replenish through inductive charging roads. That futuristic stuff than can rival the imagination of Arthur Clark or Isaac Asimov. Because connected autonomous vehicles have sensors and can stream data, the central AI controllers will have thousands or even millions of eyes and ears roaming the globe. Furthermore, each vehicle is also receiving data about the world in real time and acting somewhat independently. There is something about the idea of an autonomous vehicle that can change its trajectory in 4D space based on real-time information about the 4D space, which in turn impacts the same 4D space, that is mind-bending and intellectually exhilarating.
The world of physical transportation and information transportation have intersected before, with similarly powerful results. Most scholars agree that it was the vast and robust system of the telegraph that helped a small imperial British military to conquer and control large swaths of the globe through swift movement of troops and arms to troubled hotspots where situations such as war, rebellion, and civil unrest were unfolding. I would hazard a guess that somewhat similar power – albeit purely economic – could be wielded by entities such as Uber and Amazon who could dynamically deploy their transportation assets across vast distances based on an evolving demand-supply equation. Could this economic power be translated into a political one? For example, could you quell a civil uprising by just selectively denying transportation assets to agitators that are trying to reach a rallying point, say the city square?
My choice of mentioning Uber and Amazon in the same breath above was deliberate. Although they seem to occupy different regions of the economic landscape, one deals mostly with inanimate goods while the other mostly with people, they both have similar fundamental muscle – they are the masters of logistics, of transportation. Moreover, the two are bound to collide. Uber's acquisition of Otto – an autonomous trucking company – is no coincidence. I would even bet that their foray into aerial transportation – of people and good – is just a few years away. Amazon on the other end has a robust system for transportation of goods – using trucks, airplanes, and are even experimenting with drones – but not transportation of people. Do you think it is just a matter of time before they compete with Uber, especially after self-driving vehicles arrive on the scene?
Questions are the foundations of great insights, and great insights are the foundations of revolutions. We created revolutions in transportation by swapped logs with wheels, humans with animals, animals with motors, and human drivers with AI drivers. What would be the next revolution in transportation?

It's tonight. Obviously it's easy to forget considering the deep labor freeze. There are some stories about the lockout being lifted, court thingies – but for one day it's football. Note that I do not make any assumptions about trades – and I am not trying to predict the 32 picks, but to assign best value and needs to teams, what they SHOULD do.
1. Carolina Panthers take Cam Newton, QB – Auburn … I think there is a lot of reason not to make the pick. Newton is not the most polished QB of this group – but he has the most talent. His resume is thin, but remarkable – you see the same things I do. This could be an epic bust for the Panthers, but for a team in their state, if you want a face of a franchise QB, he's your best shot.
2. Denver Broncos take Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama … Denver's defense has issues. They struggled against the run, without Elvis Dumervil their pass defense struggled too. With a new coach and defensive scheme, getting an impact defender makes sense. Dareus is the best player in a key position.
3. Buffalo Bills take Von Miller, LB, Texas A&M … really #2 and #3 are about systems more than anything else. Bills run a 3-4, Miller makes more sense there. I am not sure he has the bulk to be a DE. Obviously Dwight Freeney disspelled some of this, but that is not a gamble you want to make at #2.
4. Cincinnati Bengals take AJ Green, WR, Georgia … best WR in the draft, though Julio Jones is at least as impactful. The Bengals have a stout defense, but a pathetic offense, with uncertainty at QB. Noodle armed Carson Palmer wants out, and their top receivers returns are questionable. While Blaine Gabbert is interesting here as a QB choice – I think Green can do them more long term good, especially if they suck enough to take Andrew Luck next year.
5. Arizona Cardinals take Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri … clearly the Cardinals need a quarterback. This is not to sate Larry Fitzgerald, who wants a veteran QB. Indeed, the Cardinals might placate him – regardless of that, they could use a long term answer. Gabbert is the best thrower of the group and is not at all unmobile.
6. Cleveland Browns take Julio Jones, WR, Alabama … Colt McCoy is going to be a good quarterback. Peyton Hillis is a good running back, even if he is going to suffer a devastating career ending injury this year. The team lacks weapons on offense otherwise though. The defense showed spunk at times a season ago. Patrick Peterson makes sense here too – only because he is a screaming value. But Jones can be a superstar WR, I am a big believer.
7. San Francisco 49ers take Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU … Peterson is the best player in the draft. The best cornerback, the most devastating kick returner. To get him at 7 is a huge value. Even if they have needs on offense, this is too good to pass up.
8. Tennessee Titans take Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn … Fairley had #1 buzz early on. He is the upside guy among the DL. His motor is questionable but his skillset is not. At #8 this is the sort of mistake you live with. The Titans have missed Albert Haynesworth – this would help a ton.
9. Dallas Cowboys take Prince Amukamura, CB, Nebraska … Dallas was a horrendous pass defense a year ago. This can be solved either with superior pass rush or with superior coverage. Amukamura is a better player, presto.
10. Washington Redskins take Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina … Their offensive line is decrepit, and this is where the lineman could start going. However, I am a big believer in taking value and not becoming slaves to position. Quinn is a top 5 talent. He hasn't played in a year, but that's also one year less wear and tear.
11. Houston Texans take Aldon Smith, DE, Missouri … Aldon Smith can be a force as a hybrid elephant LB/DE in a 3-4, which the Texans are switching to. In a related story their defense was awesomely bad a year ago. A pass rush would really come in handy.
12. Minnesota Vikings take Anthony Costanzo, T, Boston College … the Vikings are not far away, so their needs are tricky to pick. However, Costanzo is the best most versatile offensive linemen in the draft.
13. Detroit Lions take Cameron Jordan, DE, California … the Lions need impact players on defense. Ndamukong Suh was obviously brilliant a year ago triggering a really good defensive line. Jordan can bulk up to be a run stopping end, and could slim down to provide some pass coverage possibly.
14. Saint Louis Rams take Tyron Smith, T, USC … the Rams did well rebuilding some of their offense a year ago. However, they still could use a stouter line and a better ability to score. Obviously defense is also possible, especially building line depth. But taking value here makes sense.
15. Miami Dolphins take Mike Pouncey, G/C, Florida … the Dolphins need firepower really, but nobody here delivers that. Their defense is pretty solid, but building up their line makes sense. Pouncey is not as highly regarded as his brother, but he is going to produce immediately.
16. Jacksonville Jaguars take Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois … the Jaguars need more power up front, especially with their previous picks for this not being so hot. Liuget can cause some havoc up front and give themselves some help. Once again, no value offensive impact here.
17. New England Patriots take Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson … the Patriots only have a few needs. Sure Bowers is not a clear fit for their 3-4, but he is the best pass rusher in the draft. He could have serious medical issues, but let's say you get 4 years of Charles Haley like production before he falls to pieces. Would you take that with the #17 pick? An elite specialist? So would I.
18. San Diego Chargers take JJ Watt, DE, Wisconsin … JJ Watt is a defensive end with good versatility to be both a run stopper and pass defender. The Chargers don't need much, they just need to play better, but improving the defensive front is never a bad idea.
19. New York Giants take Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue … the Giants can never have enough defensive lineman depth. Without any obvious offensive players or cornerbacks of note here, building up their pass rush still makes sense.
20. Tampa Bay Bucs take Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado … the Bucs have issues with Aqib Talib's arrest. They could use a cornerback and Jimmy Smith has the best tools for the job. I know there are concerns about him being sketchy, but the talent at this pick level might be too much to ignore.
21. Kansas City Chiefs take Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, Temple … the Chiefs got a sudden emergence from Tamba Hali as a quality pass rusher a year ago. Can you count on that? Their offense led the league in rushing – and the passing game could stand to improve but those people are not good value choices. As such, keeping the front seven up is a good idea.
22. Indianapolis Colts take Gabe Carini, T, Wisconsin … the Colts were the worst running team in the league a year ago. Taking the best available OL makes a ton of sense.
23. Philadelphia Eagles take Nate Solder, T, Colorado … Solder is raw, but the Eagles can rotate him. Andy Reid used to love taking OL with his first round picks. Fortunately there is a good one here. The team had issues keeping Michael Vick upright and Solder can help there as well improving the running game.
24. New Orleans Saints take Phil Taylor, DT, Baylor … the Saints could stand to improve their defensive front. The team did not force turnovers the way it did in their Super Bowl winning year. Taylor will provide some stoutness.
25. Seattle Seahawks take Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa … Clayborn was a top 10 pick level guy two seasons ago, but some medical concerns caused a slip. However, Clayborn is way too good a value not to take here. He can provide a disruptive force to Pete Carroll's defense, which is one of his hallmarks. That and fist pumping.
26. Baltimore Ravens take Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State … Heyward is capable of playing a 3-4 end. The Ravens could use someone to give Hatoli Ngata some company up front. Their DL allowed some weird rushing games a year ago, and this could help shore that up.
27. Atlanta Falcons take Kyle Rudolph, TE, Notre Dame … I know, I know, Tony Gonzalez is there. But he is no longer a field stretching force. Rudolph has that sort of ability – and for the type of close to the vest passing game they have, giving Matt Ryan more options in the TE passing game is a good thing.
28. New England Patriots take Danny Watkins, G, Baylor … the Patriots could use some more depth in offensive line. They love getting attitude guys and Watkins allegedly has that in spades.
29. Chicago Bears take Derrick Sherrod, T, Mississippi State … the Bears could stand to improve the offensive line, especially for those slow developing pass plays Mike Martz loves so much. The OL needs to be able to let Cutler throw it.
30. New York Jets take Brooks Reed, DE, Arizona … the Jets are NEVER not in the market to get another pass rusher. A defensive tackle to replace, supplement, insure against Kris Jenkins being catastrophically hurt again.
31. Pittsburgh Steelers take Akeem Ayers, OLB, UCLA … the Steelers taking a LB, who knew?? But hey, it makes sense. They don't have a ton of needs, so what the hell.
32. Green Bay Packers take Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama … the Packers running game sucked last year. Ryan Grant is coming off of an injury and his replacements were uniformly uninspiring. Mark Ingram might be the skill and character back that makes a ton of sense here.

Garner baseball powers by West Johnston on Banks' 1-hitter
Garner stayed right in the thick of the fight for a NCHSAA 4A baseball playoff spot Friday night behind freshman Brett Banks' complete game one-hitter, a 5-1 win over Greater Neuse River Conference leader West Johnston.
With a week to go in the regular season, the Wildcats are 12-10 overall and 10-2 in the league. Garner is 11-10 overall and in a four-way tie for second with an 8-4 league record. The top three teams get into the playoffs while the others in contention could also make postseason as a wildcard based on the overall record.
Banks gave up the Wildcats' only hit and only run in the bottom of the second. Banks walked leftfielder Andre Wilson and gave up a double down the rightfield line to first baseman Wade Eatmon. Second baseman Garrett Eddens gave his team a 1-0 lead on a groundout that drove in Wilson.
Garner gave Banks all the run support he needed with a four-run outburst in the fourth inning. Shortstop Tyler Gillespy reached when hit by a pitch and third baseman Wellington Guzman singled to center.
West then made an error on first baseman Noah Gallogly's bunt, allowing Gillespy to score. Designated hitter Cody Jones singled to load the bases and rightfielder Jack Elliot was hit by a pitch to force in the second run. Gallogly scored on a double play and then centerfielder Trevor Blalock singled in Jones for the 4-1 lead.
"We just couldn't overcome that inning," West Johnston coach Joey Worley said. "Cameron Meyers was rolling along fine on the mound until then. But tonight their pitcher shut us down. He pitched a gem.It was just one of those games for us."
Banks faced the minimum 12 batters over the last four innings.
"I felt good warming up tonight and felt during the game I was throwing harder," Banks said. "I was trying to mix in my change-up and curve because they are a good hitting team. I got through a rough inning and got the complete game and the win, definitely my best game so far."
Three to know
Brett Banks, Garner: The freshman got this second win, which was huge for the Trojans. "He's just a freshman, but one of our guys on the mound," Garner coach Derik Goffena said. "Obviously this was his best performance. And that was against a good-hitting team."
Jack Elliott, Garner: Garner only got five hits in the win, but made the most of them. Elliott had the Trojans' only extra base hit, a double in the sixth. He scored later in the inning on a passed ball.
Garrett Giddens, West Johnston: Defensively, Giddens was steady and made a couple of tough plays at second base. The junior also drove in his team's only run.
They said it
"Offensively, we were finally able to piece together a rally," Garner coach Goffena said. "They had a good, experienced, senior pitcher out there."
Looking forward
While West Johnston has a pair of games next week against Knightdale, Garner still has a nonconference game against Fuquay-Varina and then closes the season with a pair of games against Rolesville, one of the teams in the four-way tie for second.
"We need to get some more wins," Goffena said. "If we don't finish in the top three after the tiebreakers, we could still get in as a wild card."

The Love Below - Every Tongue Shall Caress
Wow, this threw me for a loop on the first time around. There's nothing ordinary or even remotely clichéd about The Love Below. I was half expecting something along the veins of Frightener, Nails or Full Of Hell (not that any of those bands are clichéd in any way), knowing the label's penchant for that whole area of dark and sludgy hardcore, but instead I'm completely blindsided by possibly the most unhinged, on-the-verge-of-flippin'-the-fuck-out kind of music I've heard in a long time. Basically this is heavy and, at times, fast hardcore punkrock, with a sort of frenzied, chaotic, noisy attitude that I'm instantly drawn to. All the songs are short, only a couple of them are more than three minutes long, so we are in no danger of getting bored here. Musically TLB sounds a bit like a mix of The Stooges, early Black Flag, the slower side of Motörhead, some traces of G.I.S.M. and a bit of Poison Idea. Sort of... We get awesome super-catchy punkrock riffs; some really cool straight up hardcore based on middle-to-high tempos; lots of audible, heavy rocking basslines; some heavy, almost metallic, breakdowns and tons and tons of rocking hooks.
But what truly sets these guys apart, except for a knack for writing short, instantly memorable songs, are the vocals of Jerry Wayne Woolbright Jr. (yup, that's apparently his name). I can't remember when I last heard someone so totally out there, someone so completely off the rails in his vocal delivery. To simply state that he screams is to do him injustice. He shrieks and howls - somewhere in the middle to upper register, often to the point where his voice cracks - almost seemingly out of control and yet does so with both conviction and clarity. How his voicebox is intact is beyond me. Lyrically there is some truly pissed-off, caustic shit going on here, but much of it written in a non-linear sort of ambiguous way, while hinting at a certain social and moral pathos that is interesting. But even though the lyrics, more often than not, are open to interpretation (which is fine by me), there's also the directness of songs like Nazi Uniform with it's snarling rage against police-brutality and abuse of authority ("You have the right to remain paranoid and afraid") and disdain of religion in Holy Dose ("Overdose on the love of God, choke on the light that shines so bright") to counteract the vagueness. Overall this is a great punkrock/hardcore album - and an outstanding full length debut - with lots of good points to draw you back for further spins.

~ Effatha! Open up! ~
The apostle Paul wrote something quite alarming to the church at the city of Corinth: "Your worship services do you more harm than good." (1 Corinthians 11:17a) Paul is saying it is better if some churches would stop worship until they get it right. Jesus talked about this when He quoted Isaiah to the Pharisees: "All of you praise me with your words, but you never really think about me. It is useless for you to worship me, when you teach rules made up by humans." (Matthew 15:8-9)
The first and second times I visited the Grand Canyon and peered down over the top ridge, I was awestruck. My only appropriate response to that natural presence was a silence of wonder. That response of awe was repeated when I scanned my first glacier in Glacier National Park. It was again repeated when I saw my son emerge from his mother. That consuming feeling was repeated in many wondrous cathedrals, in the depths of caves, when I opened the Bible I still use, thirty-three years ago, my first black leather bond reference edition. So many places, things and events are enveloped in such sacredness and mystery that I could only settle into a reverent silence. As the Scriptures declare, "Be still, and know that I am God."
Upon seeing Christ in his vision, the apostle John wrote, "When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead person." (Revelations 1:17a) Upon seeing Jesus in a transfigured form, Peter, James and John started talking nonsense and then fell on their faces. (Matthew 17, Luke 9) The presence of sacredness is trivialized by words, except those of praise and adoration. It summons holy fear and wonder and tears that indicate we have been touched at the deepest recesses of our souls.
There is a sad wonder involved here, however. I've often heard, "It was a beautiful church service" as though the person was reporting on a theater play he attended. I recently attended a service where someone was singing solo without accompaniment. His voice was thundering and magnificent, often receiving applause during his performance that supposedly glorified God. Later, the congregation fell all over him in praise, asking him to sing one more time. Few must have noticed that he was singing in his own name, that the people were not being moved by the Holy Spirit, but rather by a human performance. They were adoring him and not God, in God's own place of worship. Someone of lesser ability singing to God's glory may not have received mid performance applause and probably would not have been asked to sing again.
A church with an astounding choir and a stirring, eloquent pastor with a full calendar of social events may well leave you entertained and impressed. However, if it doesn't leave you in awe, holy wonder, praise, personal contriteness and adoration, the Holy Spirit was not moving through that worship service, or, if He was, you were then deaf to His presence. There were many moments in worship and prayer, in churches or in creation, when I just needed to stay in silence; when I needed to be alone, to walk or sit in awe, wonder and adoration; when I fell flat on my face, sometimes physically, sometimes emotionally, always spiritually.
Sometimes in the intention of reaching out, especially to our youth, churches engage secular marketing techniques and adopt the secular culture, wanting God and worship to look "cool." But how many of our youth and their caretakers ever experienced the holy wonder and the stop-you-in-your-tracks mystery of an encounter with the Holy Spirit, so often described in the Scriptures? How many of our churches, in the name of "order and structure," would not be able to accommodate an "unplanned" encounter with God or would have to turn away an unexpected visit from Christ because it would be disruptive to the printed program? In Isaiah 66:2b, the Lord says, "The people I treasure most are the humble--they depend only on me and tremble when I speak." God speaks through His Scriptures, teachers, preachers, prophets, creation, your own heart and in other ways. When was the last time you trembled?
The first time I stood gazing into the Grand Canyon, a small group of people walked up. They were chattering non-stop while taking pictures and left after only a few minutes. "How nice" was their highest praise for that magnificent reflection of God's grace and creative power. I'm certain they spent hours looking at and showing others their pictures after spending only a few minutes at the real thing because it was hot outside.
Enticements and marketing strategies borrowed from the secular world are best abandoned to rearrange our worship around the presence of the Holy Spirit. We need to pray Jesus' injunction: "Effatha!" "Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk... Jesus looked up toward heaven, and with a groan he said, 'Effatha!' which means 'Open up!' At once, the man could hear and he had no more trouble talking clearly." (Mark 7:32, 34-35)
The Scriptures frequently speak of the effatha experience in the spiritual realm. A notable example is in the second and third chapters of Revelation. St. John is told to write Christ's messages to the seven churches. Every single letter ends with, "If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches." Every one of our churches today, yours and mine, correspond to one of the seven churches in Revelation. Christ covered us all! But without ears that work, we are deaf to the Holy Spirit. So let us pray, "Open us up, Lord!" We need to take into our hearts Isaiah 58 where God tells us, "I'll tell you what it really means to worship the Lord." Jesus declares, "God is Spirit, and those who worship God must be led by the Spirit to worship Him according to the truth." (John 4:24) You cannot be led by the Spirit, with deaf ears. Effatha! Then tremble, fall on your face, feel the holy and sacred, be awed, wonder and adore!

If you're a MySQL admin and use replication in either a master-slave or master-master setup, you no doubt had replication fail at one point or another. This situation can be quite scary and fixing it can range from being simple to being very complex where rebuilding a database server is the only option.
Hopefully I can lend a few tips and tricks to help you resolve your issue.
Binary Logs
MySQL binary logs can be thought of as files that contain a record of SQL statements, in chronological order, that would alter your data. Some types of commands that are stored are CREATE, INSERT, DELETE, etc. These commands are stored with the position at which they occurred. So, lets say for instance you had database at position 10 (real world positions are much larger), a dump taken at position 5, had the binary logs that contained 5-10. Then, with only the dump and binary log, you can rebuild your database to position 10.
Backup Your Data
First things first, I hope you regularly backup your data. There are 2 easy ways to backup your data, full dump with master data (contains binary log information) and databases only. The problem with database only is that the most you can restore to is that point in time that snapshot was taken at and you would need to rebuild all your DB servers. At least with master data, you have the binary logs to rebuild to in case your file became corrupted and can rebuild just the server that went down.
Master Data:
mysqldump –all-databases –master-data -u user -ppass > mydata.sql
Databases Only:
mysqldump –all-databases –single-transaction -u user -ppass > mydata.sql
Show Slave Status
Open mysql command line interface and connect it to your running MySQL server box, then run:
There are 4 fields that are extremely useful to look at Slave_IO_Running, Slave_SQL_Running, Seconds_Behind_Master and Last_Error.
Slave_IO_Running – Should be yes unless STOP SLAVE was issued.
Slave_SQL_Running – Tells if the commands from thy logs are running.
Seconds_Behind_Master – This should normally be near 0, a high number (or NULL) indicates that the slave is far behind the master. I should mention, this is not really the number of seconds behind the master, but more of the bigger the number, the farther behind master.
Last_Error – The last SQL statement that caused an error when running the relay log. We want this to be blank.
Fixing The Error
I see a lot of posts out there that say just do SET GLOBAL SQL_SLAVE_SKIP_COUNTER = 1; START SLAVE; and while this will hopefully get you past the error, you really should know why the statement is failing. If you just run that command, you will most likely lose data.
Ask yourself, if you skip the SQL statement, will it be bad for my data? If it's just a inserting logging data, it's not such a big deal, but if it inserts an order into your ecommerce website, you will lose that order in the slave database. The master and slave databases will then be inconsistent and will not mirror each other. I first like to verify if that SQL statement executed on the master. If it was an insert, see if it inserted, if it was a delete, see if it deleted.
After you verify the failing statement, and only after you know there aren't any dire side effects, then you can run SET GLOBAL SQL_SLAVE_SKIP_COUNTER = 1; START SLAVE; . This will skip the current error statement and try the next. Remember, never skip more then 1 at a time, that this record may be a key to another insert (foreign key) and might cause a chain reaction, and never skip if you cant recover lost data.
Catastrophe Strikes!
You skipped a bunch of statements, perhaps your file is corrupted, or maybe the drive just died. Any one of these things could happen, just know when to tap out. As a last resort, I just go onto the master server and create a dump with –master-data as described above, then on the slave, make sure MySQL is not running, delete the data and binary log files, start MySQL and import the dump via command line. After the import, run SHOW SLAVE STATUS to find out the master file and position, then run CHANGE MASTER TO to set all slave information and also using the values that were imported (and shown in slave status) set MASTER_LOG_FILE, MASTER_LOG_POS appropriately (needs to be done in 1 command). The CHANGE MASTER TO must contain all your slave info, then when done, START SLAVE. This will catch up to the master in a short time.
There are many ways to deal with MySQL and as time goes on, you'll pick up tricks. Always have a local and remote backup and never panic. And remember, call a DB admin if you can't figure it out before it becomes unrepairable.

Remembrance Day. No longer a national holiday, and all the more reason to shine.
Most of us will be at work or school, maybe recognizing a couple of minutes of silence at 11 a.m. Whether we're celebrity watchers tuning in to see Prince Charles and Camilla in Ottawa, or wondering what took place at our local cenotaphs, we'll hopefully deliver the images the public is looking for.
For my part, that means a late lunch to put together an online feature ASAP after our local ceremony. No more slacking for hours knowing the images and information won't appear until the next day. The prospect of layoffs is a great motivator.
I'm determined to post before our rivals. We've got TV beat by six hours, and radio is blind to eye candy. I don't even think about the print product anymore since the event will be long over before the dead trees hit the press let alone doorsteps.
I plan to take a peek at online weekly newspapers to see if they break with their snail's pace tradition of only posting once a week. I bet my poppy their online work will be hidden away and only see the light of day when their latest issue hits the stand.
I look at their sites fondly as nostalgia, since I can't in good conscience consider them news.

Much has happened the past 10 years. What started with an idea to extend the shelf life of Brussels sprouts has grown to a system that doubles the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables. A system that continuous to expand, and is quickly becoming the standard in the field of packing fruit and vegetables. It fits in perfectly with the current focus on reducing food waste and addresses the price pressure that effects all parties involved in the fresh produce sector.
From our years of experience it appears that not only waste reduces, but also that sales increases when the quality of the products is maintained for longer. That means not only a win on sustainability, but also on sales. The initial investment in the system is earned back within months as a result of the savings achieved in reducing waste and the increased sales. This combination makes our Respiration Control System so successful and that's why we have been nominated for, and won, several awards in recent years.
Our anniversary means a present for you!
We do not pass our 10th anniversary unnoticed. Therefore, we will raffle 10 free tests "Proof of Concept", among interested retailers, producers and packers. This means that we will conduct a test on a product of your choice (fruit, vegetable or flower) that will clearly show how much shelf life gains can be achieved. This information we use to calculate your saving when using the PerfoTec Respiration System. If you are interested in this opportunity to reduce waste and increase revenue please send an e-mail with your motivation and your preferred product to firstname.lastname@example.com. On December 12 we will draw 10 winners from all entries. If you are one of the lucky ones we will contact you after this date.
Conditions for participation:
- One entry per company
- PerfoTec may also use the results of the test for communication purposes (obviously without company name if you have any objection).
- The test will be performed on one item from your product range.
- The lead-time is variable and depends on the type of product.
- The start of the test will be, after consultation, in 2015.

Are you looking for more peace of mind?
Feelings of unease, agitation, self-doubt, anxiety, anger and distress can seem to overwhelm us at times and very often it looks as if those feelings are coming from our circumstances: our partner, our children, our in-laws, our finances or our job (or a combination) or some innate inability to be happy.
What if that is not the case? What if our state of mind determines our experience rather than anything going on out there? What if everything really is okay?
Life isn't meant to be a struggle
Many of us know, deep down, that life isn't meant to be filled with struggle and stress. Many of us have been looking for a place of ease and contentment. Touching on it now and then but seeming to lose it all too easily. It's easy not to realise our misunderstanding. Once you realise where your experience is actually coming from, your life and the lives of those around you will begin to look different. And that is just the beginning……
Individual sessions are available to help you look in a new direction and realise where your well being lies. This new direction was expressed by Sydney Banks and is known as The Three Principles, a new understanding of psychology and mental health and well being.
If you feel stuck in your life, work or relationships get in touch for a complimentary half an hour conversation with me, Juliet Fay. These can be offered by Skype or Zoom. The following One Month Exploration of The Three Principles 1:2:1 programme is flexible enough to work for most clients:-

Gettysburg Construction Co.
Meet the Staff
Meet the Staff
Our management staff members are listed below. Feel free to reach out for help with an estimate, an update on a job or general questions.
(Pictured From left to right, : Becky Tims, Dave Lamberson, and Joseph Nadolski.)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Owner/CEO: Dave Lamberson
Dave Lamberson grew up in Huntingdon County Pennsylvania and after a childhood spent building treehouses, forts and damns (to make swimming holes in the creek on his Grandfather's Farm), building became deeply rooted in his nature, along with the idea of reuse and recycling.
Dave graduated from Penn State with a B.S. in Engineering Technology (1978) and started out in a management position with a national contractor where he was lucky to be mentored by highly skilled people on many large projects. By his mid-thirties, Dave held a variety of positions with a company with revenues of $12 million annually that quickly rose to $25 million. At this time, Dave was setting up projects and assigning the right project managers and superintendents, along with their crews, who would execute the work with skill, attention to detail, and in a timely manner.
In Dave's most recent position, before acquiring Gettysburg Construction, he was a pre-construction manager for a construction management/general contracting firm whose revenues averaged $200 to $250 million annually. In his capacity at this firm, he was instrumental in estimating a wide range of building types, including commercial, military, wood, concrete, mixed use, and steel frame along with 20-50 acre site developments. Dave's gained experience estimating services for a wide variety of product types. He is also familiar with working on numerous projects that are tasked with tight deadlines and fast-track schedules. This includes multiple Design Build and Design Assist Projects that provide a single source for Owners to achieve their end product at a pre-determined price point.
In October of 2013, Dave, a successful Mid-Atlantic construction executive with roots in Pennsylvania, decided to buy Gettysburg Construction Co. from Wayne Hill, President. Over the last 35 years, Dave has been involved with a broad variety of construction projects including projects for the Smithsonian, the National Zoo, the Army Corps of Engineers, over 100 jobs for the government, several mission critical projects, many healthcare projects, and more than 7,000 units of residential projects including market rate and affordable apartments, dorms, senior housing and assisted living. With his extensive experience Dave has successfully lead Gettysburg Construction Co. into a new, challenging and exciting growth phase.
Dave realized, after meeting Wayne Hill and understanding the history of Gettysburg Construction Co., that it was a company he wanted to be a part of since he felt he could build on its stable and successful foundation. Dave started his career with contractors who did a high percentage of work in-house which is also the case at Gettysburg Construction Co.
Dave has always found clear benefits to working closely with in-house crews. Key benefits such as having more control over schedules and being more in touch with methods that work best for the owners. Dave brings a "can do" attitude to the company, working through obstacles and completing projects on time and within budget. With Dave's expertise and working closely with owners and design-teams, Gettysburg Construction Co. will continue to be builders beyond measure.

For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Houses and fields and vineyards shall be bought again in this land.' After I had delivered the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to God, saying: Ah, Hashem, Lord! Behold, You have made the heaven and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for you.
Jeremiah 32:6-27
behar "on the mountain"
Leviticus 25:1 – 26:2
The chapter deals with the laws of the Sabbatical Year which occurred the seventh of seven year cycles – the fiftieth year. Seven being a significant number in Jewish history with seven leaders of the generations of mankind starting with Adam, seven great forefathers starting with Abraham, the week divided into seven parts and some say even the Torah is divided into seven sections. Seven is said to symbolize the spiritual goal of the group. The "sh'mitta" - the end of this seven years is the Sabbatical Jubilee Year "yovail" brought in with the blowing of the shofar. One's land is to lie fallow that year and nothing is picked from the fields including one's grapes. Also in this parsha are laws regarding living in cities and sale of property (note the towers in the upper left - this painting was done after 9/11); and also in this parsha are the obligations to help the needy and how to treat one's servants.
