SQL Disaggregation with Clustrix
At Clustrix, we use Bugzilla as our bug database. Although it provides an xmlrpc API that claims a higher probability of compatibility across upgrades, we're SQL people and can't resist the temptation of querying its relational tables directly.
Our database consolidates data from various disparate sources where we use SQL to quickly develop complex reports spanning multiple departments. Our suite of tools and reports would take much longer if we had to develop JOINs across multiple different client APIs.
In Bugzilla, there is a table named "bugs," that is clearly quite central to the schema. I'm going to talk here about two columns in that table: "keywords" and "whiteboard" (actually "status_whiteboard," but we'll abbreviate here).
How "Keywords" and "Whiteboard" Stack Up
The difference between these two terms is that "keywords" must be first created by a bugzilla admin, which stores them in the "keyword_defs" table. This is an example of structured data. When keywords are assigned to a bug (as comma-separated values in a text input field), the input is validated by the webui (i.e. that the keyword actually exists) and then the normalized relationship is stored in the "keywords" table. Additionally, Bugzilla re-materializes the denormalized keyword list as a comma-separated string into a "keyword" column in the "bugs" table, which was most likely done for performance, as it eliminates a correlated aggregate subquery to speed up its most frequently executed query: displaying bug(s).
The "whiteboard" field is located right above "keywords" in the Bugzilla WebUI, and is also sized for a single, short line of text. We use this field similarly to "keywords": to hold a comma-separated list of tags, with the exception being that these have not yet reached the critical mass to promote them into formal "keywords."
Bugzilla's UI does not perform validation or provide a formal way to extract these tag-like elements for the purposes of joining and/or aggregating into reports, thus this data is effectively unstructured.
Clearly, the "keywords" table provides greater control via SQL as far as selecting bugs that have some tags but not others. But blocking human tasks on the availability of an admin to add new keywords can be a hassle; hence our "whiteboard" column gets used quite often.
Let's consider the following example:
dogfood> CREATE TABLE bugs (id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, whiteboard VARCHAR(100)); dogfood> INSERT INTO bugs (whiteboard) VALUES ('one'), ('two '), (' three'), ('One, Two'), ('Two, Three,'), (',One, Three'), ('ONE,TWO,,THREE');
I could try to use the LIKE operator with wildcards to find bugs that do not have a specific tag:
dogfood> SELECT * FROM bugs WHERE LOWER(whiteboard) NOT LIKE '%three%' ORDER BY id; +----+------------+ | id | whiteboard | +----+------------+ | 1 | one | | 2 | two | | 4 | One, Two | +----+------------+
However that technique wouldn't work as well if we had a tag called "twenty-three" which we did want to see. The REGEX operator can go a little further, but at the expense of the query becoming harder for humans to write/read and for the database to execute.
Now, suppose I want to strip out specific tags and return a count of the remaining tags – or perhaps reconstitute the csv string without them?
Introducing Disaggregation
By creating a table containing all the possible tags, we can do the opposite of aggregation, i.e. disaggregation. See the example below:
dogfood> CREATE TABLE whiteboard_tags (whiteboard_tag VARCHAR(20)); dogfood> INSERT INTO whiteboard_tags VALUES ('one'),('two'),('three'); dogfood> SELECT bugs.id, whiteboard_tags.whiteboard_tag FROM bugs JOIN whiteboard_tags ON (FIND_IN_SET(whiteboard_tags.whiteboard_tag, REPLACE(LOWER(bugs.whiteboard),' ','')) > 0) ORDER BY bugs.id, whiteboard_tag; +----+----------------+ | id | whiteboard_tag | +----+----------------+ | 1 | one | | 2 | two | | 3 | three | | 4 | one | | 4 | two | | 5 | three | | 5 | two | | 6 | one | | 6 | three | | 7 | one | | 7 | three | | 7 | two | +----+----------------+
Once we have disaggregated, we can filter and re-aggregate differently:
dogfood> SELECT bugs.id, COUNT(*), GROUP_CONCAT(whiteboard_tags.whiteboard_tag SEPARATOR ',') FROM bugs JOIN whiteboard_tags ON (FIND_IN_SET(whiteboard_tags.whiteboard_tag, REPLACE(LOWER(bugs.whiteboard),' ','')) > 0) WHERE whiteboard_tags.whiteboard_tag != 'three' GROUP BY bugs.id ORDER BY bugs.id; +----+----------+------------------------------------------------------------+ | id | COUNT(*) | GROUP_CONCAT(whiteboard_tags.whiteboard_tag SEPARATOR ',') | +----+----------+------------------------------------------------------------+ | 1 | 1 | one | | 2 | 1 | two | | 4 | 2 | one,two | | 5 | 1 | two | | 6 | 1 | one | | 7 | 2 | one,two | +----+----------+------------------------------------------------------------+
Scrub that data!
As we saw above, mixed-case, stray whitespace, and blank elements can be addressed in the query, but misspellings can certainly happen when there's no input validation. To somewhat mitigate that problem, we can periodically scrub the invalid data like so:
dogfood> INSERT INTO bugs (whiteboard) VALUES ('uno'); dogfood> SELECT id, whiteboard FROM bugs JOIN whiteboard_tags GROUP BY id, whiteboard HAVING SUM(FIND_IN_SET(whiteboard_tags.whiteboard_tag, REPLACE(LOWER(bugs.whiteboard),' ',''))) = 0 ORDER BY id; +----+------------+ | id | whiteboard | +----+------------+ | 8 | uno | +----+------------+
Sounds like a Job for a Scalable Database
Obviously structured data is a big win, but sometimes it can make sense to quickly import data from unstructured sources. Or, perhaps, while evolving your applications, you could avoid prematurely over-designing by rolling a new feature out to beta and seeing how it is used, since some built-in SQL functions allow you to "structure" that data on-the-fly. Just be aware that by using those functions, you're asking for more computation from the database for every row.

Dear Parents,
In spite of King Solomon's great wisdom, he was still sinful, and his sin divided the people of Israel. When Solomon's son Rehoboam became king, the people asked for him to lead with justice and compassion, but Rehoboam listened to the bad advice of his peers and spoke harshly to the people. Because of this, the kingdom split into two: the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah.
(3 minutes) READ 1 Kings 12:1-24
King Rehoboam failed to lead God's people perfectly. God's people needed a better king, a perfect king! Through David's family, God would send His own Son, Jesus Christ, to be a perfect King over God's people forever. Jesus brings His people together and leads them back to God. Help your kids understand that Jesus is our perfect King and when we love Him andfollow Him and do what He says, we will glorify God and be part of God's plan to bring people back to Himself through Jesus.
(1 minute) REVIEW one of these doctrine memory questions, or the month's memory verse by having your kids repeat it after you.

Sojourn Kids North Star Catechism: Where do we learn to love, trust, and obey God? In the Bible.
Memory Verse: Proverbs 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
(1 minute) PRAY and thank God that Jesus is our perfect king.

TripAdvisor: Why Respond to Reviews?
If you're not responding to online reviews (negative and positive) through your TripAdvisor for Business account, you may be missing out on the opportunity to drive new business.
After all, the site is home to over 730 million reviews and opinions covering "world's largest selection of travel listings worldwide."
According to industry research:
- TripAdvisor ranks ahead of personal recommendations, tourist board websites, and guidebooks as the most trusted source for travel planning.
- 83 percent say TripAdvisor reviews make them feel more confident in their travel decisions, and 96 percent of hotels and hospitality brands worldwide say reviews are influential in generating bookings.
- Hotels and accommodation properties that respond to TripAdvisor reviews enjoy 17 percent higher levels of engagement and are 21 percent more likely to receive a booking inquiry than those who don't respond to reviews.
- Businesses that respond to more than half of their reviews are 24 percent more likely to receive a booking inquiry via TripAdvisor.
- Hotels and B&Bs that respond to 65 percent of their reviews receive an average review rating of 4.15, compared to only 3.81 for those who have not taken the time to answer any of their customers' reviews.
These numbers suggest that the more engaged the business owner — particularly when it comes to responding to TripAdvisor reviews — the more interested the consumer.
Taking part in the conversation and demonstrating that the owner cares about feedback can definitely help a traveler convert from a casual browser into a potential guest.
How to Respond to TripAdvisor Reviews (Negative and Positive)
In order to reply to a review, you need to be registered with TripAdvisor's Management Center. (Read our guide for claiming your TripAdvisor profile).
Once you are registered and verified, you can access the Management Center by clicking on "Your Business" in the top-right corner. If you receive review notification emails, you can also click the "Respond to Reviews" link from the email, then:
- Click the "Reviews" tab in the top menu and select "Respond to Reviews."
- Choose the TripAdvisor review you would like to respond to by clicking on the review in the left-hand sidebar. Reviews can be filtered by date, title, rating, language and response status.
- Enter your review response into the box provided. There is no character limit but remember: nobody wants to read an essay.
- Click submit.
Before drafting your TripAdvisor review response, be sure to read the site's Management Response guidelines. Your response will need to meet these guidelines in order for it to be published.
"How can I track my TripAdvisor reviews?"
On TripAdvisor, you can sign up to receive email notifications every time a new review is published. This will help you decide which reviews to respond to.
- To sign up for review alerts, select the drop-down next to your username in the top right corner of the TripAdvisor homepage, then scroll down to "Subscriptions."
- Under the "Emails for Owners" tab, next to "Reviews Questions" make sure the "Subscribed" bubble is selected.
You can also use review management software like ReviewTrackers to monitor and track reviews on TripAdvisor (along with reviews on 100+ other review sites). The software automates your review collection and delivers notifications when your customers provide feedback and leave reviews.
"Can I edit my TripAdvisor response to a review?"
Currently it is not possible to edit your response to a TripAdvisor review. If you want to change something, the best thing to do is to delete your original response and resubmit the edited version.
Tips on How to Reply to a Review on TripAdvisor
Do it ASAP. By quickly responding to a TripAdvisor review, you can show prospective guests that you take customer service seriously. It also allows them to hear your side of the story as soon as possible.
Say thank you. These two words go a long way in showing travelers that your business values customer feedback.
Resolve issues. Avoid cookie-cutter responses that do not resolve or address any specific issues raised in the review. Sometimes even positive comments and five-star ratings may include points of concern that the customer wants to discuss with you.
Don't lose your cool. Bad reviews hurt. But you can protect your brand reputation by responding politely and professionally to TripAdvisor users and by solving their customer experience issues.
Highlight the positives. Highlight any positive feedback or comments the TripAdvisor reviewer has made. You can even take the opportunity to mention related services or planned upgrades that you would like to share with potential visitors.
Invest in tools that drive efficiency. Replying to TripAdvisor reviews can be a lot of work, especially for global hotel chains and multiple-property brands. To ensure efficiency, consider investing in review management software that centralizes your reviews and helps your organization stay on top of what customers are saying. You definitely don't want to be logging in and out of every TripAdvisor listing manually.
Examples of How to Respond to TripAdvisor Reviews
Let's look at some examples of how businesses are replying to reviews (both good and bad) on TripAdvisor.
TripAdvisor Review Response Example 1
When a loyal customer expressed her disappointment with her anniversary stay at the Stamford Plaza in Brisbane, executive assistant manager Dale John wrote a pitch-perfect response.
The response addressed the reviewer and started with a "thank you." It was also very specific about the customer's experience, and it provided information on how the hotel planned to resolve certain issues and maintain its usual standards.
TripAdvisor Review Response Example 2
Another review response example worth following is that of Annelies Hamerlinck, owner and manager of Vamos Expeditions in Lima, Peru, for her response to a five-star review.
It's a personal, friendly, positive and concise response to the TripAdvisor reviewer and shows clearly that management took the time to carefully read and understand what this reviewer was saying. It's clear this is not a 'pre-made' response.
The review response also cleverly repeats positive phrases of the reviewers in exactly the same words as they used them in the review.
TripAdvisor Review Response Example 3
The Kimpton Hotel Palomar in Chicago is one of the top hotels in the city on TripAdvisor.
Even if the hotel misses instead of hits, the general manager is quick to respond (professionally and politely) to the reviewer, demonstrating that management truly cares about guest feedback.
TripAdvisor Review Response Example 4
Jessica Lavin of Hotel Monaco in Philadelphia saw a positive review as an opportunity to savvily pay the hotel guest a compliment.
There are hundreds of ways you can say thank you, and this review response takes advantage of that. It's simple, well-written, and personalized, and it shows genuine appreciation for the words the customer wrote. It highlights the sense of community that the hotel has.
TripAdvisor Review Response Example 5
It's not uncommon for some positive reviews to contain a bit of constructive criticism. Here's a classic example, from a TripAdvisor review of Fallowfields Country House Hotel.
The TripAdvisor review response begins and ends with an expression of gratitude. Anthony Lloyd, the owner of the hotel, also responded to the TripAdvisor review in a way that takes the constructive feedback on board, while also reassuring the reviewer (and other potential customers) that the issues are already being sorted out.
TripAdvisor Review Response Example 6
The Landmark London consistently generates glowing TripAdvisor reviews from hotel guests, but if the occasional negative review comes in, the hotel is quick to track and respond.
The London Landmark is not a cheap hotel. (Prices range from $500 to $4,150 a night.) Naturally, guests will have extremely high expectations of everything that the hotel claims to offer.
In cases wherein these expectations are disappointed, and a guest subsequently posts a bad review, the London Landmark is quick to respond, and in a way that minimizes the impact of negative feedback while being demonstrative of how much the business cares about the guest experience.
Examples of How NOT to Respond to TripAdvisor Reviews
Don't Humiliate Your Customer
Here's some background story on this example: customer Kirsty visited Julie Despot's Westbury Tavern Restaurant in Clayton, Newcastle-under-Lyme in the UK on Mother's Day.
She ordered cottage pie but found that it was too hot, so she had to wait to eat it until after the rest of her family had finished their dinner. Kirsty made a point of saying this in her three-star review of Westbury Tavern on TripAdvisor.
It reportedly took a couple of attempts to get the review through TripAdvisor's filter. When it finally appeared online, Kirsty's sentiments were made clear. "Overrated by far!" she exclaimed.
That's when Julie decided to write her response.
As you'll see in Julie's response above, Kirsty was being made fun of for her bad spelling and grammar. Note to business owners: we recommend that you never do this. Treat your customers like royalty.
Even after being interviewed by news site the Sentinel, Julie said she did not regret the way she responded to her unhappy customer. In fact, she thought Kirsty was simply pulling an April Fool's Day joke.
"On the day the review was posted a member of staff had died and my father had been rushed into hospital with a bleed on the brain," said Julie, who has been running the Westbury Tavern Restaurant for eight years. "She caught me on a bad day. I had two reviews taken off so I looked at the guidelines and thought 'I will do exactly that,' so I posted another comment with exactly the same language she used."
No, Julie, it wasn't an April Fool's Day joke. In fact, Kirsty said that she felt humiliated by the way the business owner had mocked her grammar and spelling. "I couldn't believe it," she said. "I was shocked. If I were dyslexic it would have been really upsetting. You should be able to write a review without being slated on the Internet… but they obviously can't take the criticism."
Don't Insult the Guests
According to reports, the manager of the Georgian House Hotel in Glasgow has been fired (and rightly so, we think) after reacting sharply to negative reviews of the property on TripAdvisor.
The unnamed ex-manager has repeatedly slammed guests when responding to criticisms they had posted on the popular review site.
Other guests who did not particularly enjoy their stay at the Georgian House Hotel also received similarly vicious management responses.
To Lynnieha, a guest who said she won't be returning, the ex-manager said: "What do you expect for so little cash." To another customer who complained about the "nasty breakfast," the response was: "If you want a good breakfast go to the Hilton and pay £100.00 a night. You pay little you get little."

My family just loves your honey sweeties. Didn't wait till Christmas just had to eat it. We are NUTS for Honey in our clan.
Posted by Cynthia Tonseth on 24th Jul 2018
My father had some of this honey. I had to try it on toast first... it made a believer out of me. A little goes a long way. The flavor it imparts to anything you use it in is amazing. ON toast, in tea, on pancakes, drizzled on a pound cake, or in a peanut butter sandwich. Will be used in pecan pie tartlets this coming holiday season. Thank you for such a delicious versatile product.

Tube Amp Vs Modeling Software Shootout Part 2: Peavey 5150/6505
In part 2 of my amp vs modeling shootout, we put the high gain capabilities of several amp modeling software products to the test by pitting them against a venerable hard rock and metal favorite, the Peavey 5150/6505 tube amp.
High gain amps like the 5150/6505 typically rely on the preamp stage to generate a heavier-sounding, more harmonically charged distortion.
In my previous round of listening tests (see Tube Amp Vs Modeling Software, Part 1), we primarily focused on the sound of a Fender Deluxe Reverb's power stage being pushed into overdrive. However, while power tube breakup is great for creating tones suitable for a variety of styles such as blues (e.g. Stevie Ray Vaughan) and classic rock (e.g. AC/DC), hard rock and metal guitarists typical favor a more aggressive form of overdrive, often referred to as "high gain distortion". High gain-capable amps like the 5150/6505 typically rely on the preamp stage to generate a heavier-sounding, more harmonically charged distortion sound associated with hard rock and metal styles of music (e.g. Metallica or In Flames). As such, this test compares several software models' ability to emulate the preamp stage distortion of the mighty 5150 tube amp.
Peavey 5150/6505
For high gain duties, I often call on my revered Peavey 5150 amp, the first generation of a line of powerhouse signature amps co-designed by guitar legend Eddie Van Halen himself. Back in the 1990's, the 5150 set a new standard among high gain guitar amps, and were soon adopted by a multitude of hard rock and metal players alike. While Van Halen and his trademark 5150 brand have long since parted ways with Peavey, the amp continues on as the Peavey 6505, a model still very popular with rock and metal players to this day. For these listening tests, the 5150 powers a closed-back 4x12 cabinet loaded with G12M-style speakers, Van Halen's favorite speaker model for any of his signature amps. The microphone is a Sennheiser MD-421 positioned on the outer edge of the center speaker cone, just 1" off the cab grill.
Reminder: For best results, be sure to listen to the files on a decent pair of headphones or external speakers.

Here is a Young Dreamer in White who exuded purity and youth at its best! I was reminded of the song - "I have a Dream, A Song to Sing" by ABBA when I met my young client and heard her out as to what she wanted in her room and how she wanted her room to look - a peaceful place to dream & relax, feel bliss within the soft folds and lace, somewhere she could escape after her busy school life. She wanted to be proud of her room, she wanted to bring her friends and hangout, she wanted her room to be her world inside this world and the rest of her house. When she entered her room and shut the door she wanted to get transported among the clouds.
The Design Plan that we had for her was just perfect - lots of lace in purewhite, lots of textures, a mix of vintage old and modern new, earthy neutrals, touch of wood, pure glitter of the crystals and silver, soft plushness under the feet and the twinkling of the lights enhanced it all. It was a pleasure to see the sparkle in her eyes when we were done and the room was finished. It was our greatest reward to see her happy!

Thank you for helping me pass my course in English. Although, I am a native English speaker, I have a hard time putting my ideas on paper. Because of your writers, I was able to successfully passed my course and I believe I learned a little bit more that I had before.Jose B.
Most of the online writing companies are run by individuals overseas. I don't have anything against them, but I feel like they don't have the capabilities to help. Although, I was not confident; once I received my paper, you won me over. I like that you only hire native English speakers.Laverna N.
I was surprised that the company is located in San Francisco. I like this very muchTerrell S.
I was expecting my paper and thesis to be very choppy. When I got my paper, I was surprised to see it being clear, followed through, and adhered to my rubric. I felt so much happier and did not feel I was scammed in anyway.William T.
I am a fluent Spanish speaker from Spain and English is a very difficult language for me to write in. Because of you, I was able to path my course and receive a B+ in my class. You helped me so much. Gracias!Armando D.
As an international student, it is difficult to find professional writers. Most people on craigslist scam me before. I was afraid at first, but I said let me give it a try. I like the paper. It was very clear. Thank you for helping and please continue to be here for me at least three more years!Mafalda M.
Although, I was surprised to find that you only hire native English speakers, I said to myself let me give it a try. I can tell when somebody writes in English and it is not their first language. The accent usually comes out in the writing. When I receive my paper, I was pleasantly surprised to notice that everything I had given including my rubric, instructions, and ideas were followed. I will be coming back to you until I finish my degree.Aide K.
I feel like your prices are competitive. I liked the paper. Thank youDrew P.
English, PowerPoint, and speech writing are not my favorite subject. You will be hearing from me anytime I have an assigned such as this. I like that you were able to give everything on time and responded to my email within 24 hours. I like your service.Tony D.
Writing my masters dissertation in Health administration was a daunting task. I didn't know where to begin, or how to even create a thesis for my first chapter, second chapter, methodology, and lastly my lit review. Once I was able to speak with somebody, you were able to direct me clearly and I felt that you knew exactly what I needed to be done.Merrill S.
Good job and thank youJennifer C.
I really like my paper and you saved my behind.Nancy V.
I wish you had writers who can write in Spanish. My essay was well written and I liked everything you had put in it. Thank you so much for your help and good work.Melissa S.
As an Arabic major, writing and translating from one language to another can be difficult. However, once I was able to quantify my information in a particular section, you took that and ran with it. I was happy with the results and I will be coming back again!Fatima K.
I grew up in Tel Aviv all of my life and had very little interaction with the English language. After being accepted in the University, I noticed that my Hebrew did not come in handy. However, because you help me write my paper, I was able to strengthen my English. Thank you for your help and I will be telling my Israeli friends about your service. Peace!Sal B.
I have been out of school for almost 20 years. I had no idea what APA or MLA was. Apparently you do because I received an A on my paper and I'm so happy. Thank you for saving me and I will be coming back to you again and again. Don't go anywhere!!!Xi Jung A.
You did my citations correct and I am very pleased.Loreen D.
Thank you for writing my paper. I was under such a time crunch that I had absolutely no time to do it. I am a great writer, however, finding the time is a different story.Debra N.
When my friend told me about you guys being in San Francisco, I had a hard time believing it. However, I gave it a try because of the referral. I was happy with the results and I will be telling my friends about you and your service.Ayesha Y.
I am a native Punjabi speaker and English can be very difficult language. I've only been in the US for four years and university classes are very difficult. You helped me with my paper and I was able to pass my entry level English class for admissions. Thank you so much.Manpreet S.
University classes have changed tremendously since I've been in school. Everything is done online and essays can be very difficult to write if I don't have class support. Because of you, I was able to pass my class, move onto the next section of my course, and hopefully graduate soon. I will be telling my friends about you.Davis S.
I am originally from Ethiopia and I speak Amharic. This language is very different from English and I had a very difficult time writing my Masters in Nursing thesis. I was able to defend and felt very confident because of the one on one support.Myriam R.
I was very nervous to take my first online English class. You were able to help me with my discussion post and essay prompts; I was able to pass with flying colors.Breanna C.
Thank you for the great job.Renate L.
I like that you only hire native English speakers. Other companies have weird systems and many people who are overseas.Shalonda Janelle
Finally, a company that doesn't have overseas writers. I like that you only hire writers who have at least a bachelor's degree and experience. This is very important for me.Dominica H.
I like that you are based in the US and not overseas. At least I know that I'm buying a service from the US and supporting my country.Jamey M.
As a veteran, I like that you are a company that is based in the US. I like this because I know that I'm supporting the economy and helping people work who are fellow Americans.Porsha I.
Thank you for writing an awesome paper. My professor gave me great feedback.April N.
I like the paper and so did my professor.Shani S.
Finally, a company that hires native English speakers. I have worked with other companies and they always provided crappy papers. Due to the fact that you are in the USA, every paper simply makes senses.Sandra H.
I'm originally from the United Kingdom and acclimating to APA style is very difficult. Due to your help, I became much more aware of the differences and have been successful with many English papers.Tim J.
Thank you so much for your paper, I was able to overcome some of the biggest challenges in my educational career. English is not my favorite subject and will never be haha!Ivy G.
Coming from Senegal, English is not spoke very widely. Because of the paper, I was able to pass by course and move onto the next semester. Thank you for saving me!Ronda M.
I thought I knew how to write effectively and creatively. Due to bad feedback from my professors, I started to look at online services. Even though I felt uncomfortable, my friend recommended you and I said I'll give it a try. I don't regret it and I don't think I will for many other papers that I may have.Andy S.
Thank you for the well written paper.Gabriella W.
I need my paper within three days, you give it within two days. I was surprised and I was very happy with the way it was written. Other companies can say they can do a paper within three hours. I cannot imagine writing a six-page paper in three hours and it being correct. I really appreciate all your hard work. Please continue the good work, you guys are killing the game!Juliann H.
I really appreciate the time and effort that was put into writing my paper. I could tell that an English speaker was able to write this and knew exactly what I was looking for.Samantha R.
I had your writers redo my resume and because of this, I was able to get at least 5x as many phone calls that I had before. I also had my first interview. I only wish that I could hire you to do my interview for me. I know this is impossible. But I thought I should ask. At any rate, thank you for the well written resume.Rickey M.
I looked up and down to find a company that is in the US, not in India or China! I don't have anything against Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, or Filipinos. I just want my paper to be written from somebody who is able to read, take the time, and truly put in some effort into it. If I'm going to pay for something, at least follow the directions. Thank you for doing everything that I wanted and going a little bit above what I had asked for. I received great feedback from my teacher.Ima B.
At the end of the day, I paid for service, I received what I was looking for, and I'm happy. What else can a person ask for?Erica T.
I am a very happy customer and I want to fake your writers for helping me write my paper and thesis. I felt confident defending and I knew that my chair was smiling from ear to ear.Agrippina M.
I've had many online companies write my papers. However, it is very seldom to find somebody who is based in the US and has an office in San Francisco. It would only make sense for you to be located there because it is at the heart of the Silicon Valley.Mystique B.
I speak French, write in French, and often think in French. English is a very difficult language and you helped me understand what my professor was looking for. I appreciate your help and will be referring you to other exchange students that I know are having issues with English.Clair B.
I like the paper and I like your speedy service.Stephanie O.
Thank you for the paper my professor passed me because of how it was written.Rashad W.

I've found so far, when it comes to creating and crafting with L, that wrapped canvas on a wood frame makes for a sturdy surface for us to work with. We paint with nontoxic tempera.
The painting on the left entailed me letting him play with yellow, orange and red paint for a bit, then I converted his creation into an autumn tree with black paint.
The second painting was created by stamping L's feet in orange paint, then quickly stamping his gooey orange foot on the canvas, repeat on the otherside, voila! I painted the words and jack 'o lantern a bit later.
I like to finish these precious canvas projects with an imperfect painted border to kind of frame them. I found cool halloweeny plaid ribbon to create hangers on each. The german staple gunned the ribbon to the back of each canvas.
I jokingly asked if Liam might want to hang them in his college dorm someday... A girl can dream. Ha!
Happy Halloweeny Crafting!

Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. – Revelation 22:12
The greatest reward in life is Jesus in our heart. The post "Internalizing His Principles" describes how to obtain this great reward that allows us to fellowship with God throughout our day.
This day, believe that God has a great plan for you and He will set things up so everything will fall into place. It all starts with receiving a plan from Him through faithful, consistent, and powerful prayer. Here is a video poem to start you toward an amazing day: This Day with God.

Kolkata, May 7, 2013 (Washington Bangla Radio): The results of TMILL EMSA EAST COAST WILD RUN, 2013 from Kolkata to Puri covering a distance of nine hundred and fifty kilometers was declared at Calcutta Rowing Club in the presence of Shri Goutam Mohan Chakraborty (IPS) and Debasis Kumar (MMIC). The rally which started initially with twenty four cars from Kolkata was later joined by four cars from Dhamra.
The rally was flagged off on the 27th of April and ended on the 29th. The event was started by a flagging off ceremony where Tollywood actresses June Maliah and Sayani Dutta were also present. The TSD format for four wheelers was followed as per the guidelines and norms of FMSCI.
June Maliah and Sayani Dutta at Rally flag off
The total prize money for the rally was a sum of 4.15 lakhs. The rally was organized to promote tourism in the states of West Bengal and Orissa. This rally also was organized so that the ports of both the states could be highlighted for the people. It also highlighted the everlasting relations between the two states.
At the recently held prize distribution ceremony organized at the Calcutta Rowing Club, Anubhab Dey and Chandan Sen won the first position in the inaugural rally in the Expert Category on the best TSD points after two days of the rally. The pair won a glittering trophy and a cash prize of fifty thousand rupees. The second prize in this category was won by the pair of Subir Roy and Amit Saha. This pair won prize money of thirty five thousand rupees. Shekhar Chowdhury and Suvrajit Dutta bagged the third prize and took away home an amount of twenty five thousand rupees.
The eight stock cars which took part in the rally were also given prizes at the ceremony. Sourav Chatterjee and Moulinath Ghosh bagged the first prize and a sum of seventy five thousand rupees. Somdeb Chanda and Nirob Mehta got the second position and an amount of fifty thousand rupees. Forty thousand rupees was given to the pair of Subhankar Saha and Ashok Kumar Basu who held the third position in this category.
The sponsors of the rally – Tata Motors, ECB, ACE Commercial, Piramlal Mohanlal were thanked for supporting the rally and for encouraging the drivers to go on this rally through the rough terrain and jungles of both the states.
Rallies of this kind are a good way to promote adventure tourism and new generation sports. The city will be eager to witness such rallies in the future.

You'd be amazed how many people come to me wondering this very thing. It is logical to assume that if the alleged victim in a domestic violence case does not want to prosecute that the case will be dismissed by the State Attorney's Office.
However, the prosecutor does not have to drop your case simply because the victim does not want to cooperate. Therefore, the simple answer is: No. Your case will not automatically be dropped because the alleged victim says so.
Domestic violence cases are prosecuted very aggressively in Florida, and Miami is no exception. The prosecutor (and the prosecutor alone) determines whether to file formal charges against you and later determines whether your case should be dismissed.
If you have recently been arrested for domestic violence, please do not think that everything will simply go away and your case will be dismissed because the alleged victim does not want to prosecute. As you can imagine, domestic violence cases are very emotional.
What one day may seem like everything is back to normal can turn into a living hell the next. Letting your guard down simply because you have reason to believe that the alleged victim does not want to press charges is a surefire way to get yourself in a lot of trouble. You can end up with a permanent criminal record and even end up in jail.
What NOT to Do
Under no circumstances should you attempt to contact the alleged victim to ask that they drop the case, nor should you intimidate or threaten the alleged victim in any way. Doing this will be a violation of the court's stay away order or no contact order. This is not only another criminal charge that you will have to defend but they can also revoke your bond and put you back in jail.
Taking matters into your own hands by attempting to contact the alleged victim or simply assuming that everything will get dropped is not the strategy that you should employ when facing these serious charges.
What Should You Do If the Victim Doesn't Want to Prosecute?
If you have reason to believe that the alleged victim in your case does not want to prosecute (or press charges), then you should seek the help of an experienced criminal defense lawyer to help you through this emotional court case. An attorney that handles domestic violence cases will be able to help you navigate this tricky area of law in order to resolve this in the best possible way.
If you have questions about your Domestic Violence charge and would like more information, you can download a FREE copy of Daniel Izquierdo's special report, He Said, She Said: Three Mistakes That Can Destroy Your Domestic Violence Case in Florida from our website. If you are here today because you feel frustrated about a domestic violence battery charge and it is disrupting your life, we should talk. You can also contact us to set up a Free 4-Point Case Evaluation and Defense Strategy Session with me by first calling (305) 707-7345. The sooner we talk, the sooner you will have clarity on what you face—and just a little clarity can take away a lot of the stress.

Katie and Doug, part 2
I'm not sure how your internet is working, so I'm posting my favorite picture of Katie's wedding for you.
What is it that makes black and white pictures so romantic? I wish Katie and Doug many, many happy years.
Nothing new from me…I'm on the final outlining of an applique quilt. I'm struggling with trying to decide what type of design to put in the space between the applique, it's called background fill. It's raining again today. Perhaps Neil and I will see Charlie Crowne, since it is actually playing this weekend.

New Survey Invites Army Spouses to Speak Up
By: MJ Boice, Staff Writer
We may soon find out how well the Army is doing in meeting the needs of spouses and families.
This month, the RAND Corporation will be conducting a survey to provide an opportunity for spouses of active duty soldiers to voice their concerns about challenges they face and the services they find helpful to overcome those issues. A postcard invitation to complete the survey is being mailed out to a random sampling of Army spouses living in the United States.
The RAND survey comes on the heels of the 2017 study, "Today's Soldier: Assessing the Needs of Soldiers and Their Families," which found that 11 percent of all soldiers who responded had at least one unmet need. The report explored challenges soldiers and their families face in order to understand how soldiers dealt with problems, what kinds of resources they needed, and whether their needs were met.
The study showed that Army resources are able to cover the problems commonly associated with Army life. But why are the needs of some soldiers going unmet? Barriers to accessing various resources, bad experiences with existing resources, or not knowing which resources to reach out to all contributed to the unmet needs of Army families.
Retention was a common theme throughout the study and researchers found what many in the military community already know: a key factor affecting military retention is the military spouse's support to stay in or get out.
The 2017 study only included the perspective of the soldier about their own welfare and the welfare of their family. It didn't seek the Army spouse perspective directly.
"Today's Army Spouse" survey will act as a follow up to 2017's "Today's Soldier."
"Some of the findings from the first study made us realize more than ever that it was very important to integrate the opinions of the spouses," said Dr. Carra Sims, project lead and senior behavioral scientist at RAND. "This is a way for spouses to speak frankly to senior leadership."
Dr. Sims explained that the Army commissioned the RAND study because they didn't have a "holistic sense of the problems (faced by Army families) or the programs they are providing." By seeking feedback from the people who use their programs and services, it will "allow Army leaders to find out how well the Army is doing in meeting the needs of service members' spouses and families, and where changes need to be made."

We haven't got an Esoterica board or whatever it's called so I'll put this here cos I don't know where else to put it - spainboy might be able to give me a few suggestions but not in public though!!
I'm happy, happy cos I got my computer back and in working order after catching a horrendous virus on Tuesday but damn and blast, I've lost my list of "favourites" which had some really cool stuff so I've been mooching around the sites looking for anything that looked familiar. No luck but have stumbled upon this which I thought was interesting and it's sort of a follow up to something which got posted a long time ago. Just in case anyone's interested
If you go back to the homepage, you Scots will find some articles which might tickle your fancy (or not).
See ya!

It's been a wild and crazy week. But we're gonna keep doing what it is we do here; inspiring you with scripture, Christian and other reasonable quotes, tickling the funny bone with cleaver cartoons, funny pics and cute animals. We might even poke fun at ourselves a little bit. Keep calm and Monday on.
This Coffee with Jesus strip created so much reaction that the good people at Radio Free Babylon issued an apology. This is what I meant by "poke fun at ourselves at a little bit." It's a comic strip for goodness sake. People with no sense of humor – or humility – are not the folks that visit Happy Monday.
Have a Happy Monday!

Here's why Rihanna's new Album is not an "OUTLAW" persay… :
- Long hiatus trend seems to have driven sales , see " Adele"
- Key points: Album embodies ''Anti'' concept : songs under 3 min using Alternative sounds style/Underground pop, explores different sounds and instrumentals, music influences
- Rihanna uses a different set of vocal styles, showcasing a more intimate feel, reminiscing private and live concert albums
- Lack of vocal execution on key tracks such as ''Love on the Brain''
- Departure from the ''Anthemic/catchy '' Rihanna sound
- Highlights : ''Work'' , ''Love on the Brain'' , ''Close to you''
- The visuals to the album will be a force for this Album and drive further sales
Overall rating: 3.8 out of 5 stars
How many stars do you give " Anti" ? Comment below !

September 2017 Issue
Dear Colleagues,
It's all starting up again! The program year, the academic year, the rehearsals, the services that took a hiatus for summer, the meetings, the deadlines, etc. Sometimes it seems too daunting. Can I get all of this done? Will I survive the year? Will the choir make it through that big piece I want to program? Will my students succeed in their class or recital? We probably question it every year and every year we make it through just fine. But occasionally these worries create a distraction from our real purpose of making music.
As musicians, we wear many different hats. Sometimes you might forget which one you're wearing in the moment. We have to be an administrator, mentor, fundraiser, motivator, teacher, encourager, educator, role model, and (somewhere down the line) a musician. It's a lot to maintain. But then the choir does a great job on their anthem; your student makes it through their difficult piece; the congregation is singing their hearts out on a hymn; you're holding the last chord of a successful recital; a parishioner tells you how deeply the music spoke to them that morning - and then it's all worth it.
We are blessed to be musicians. We speak in a language beyond words that can move people to tears. We have the ability to elevate society through art and bring beauty into the world. We can inspire others to find the talent that is inside of them. We can turn a gathering of singers into a family that has one voice. We can use our God-given abilities to make the heavens vibrate with overtones and sound waves that will resound without end. Who wouldn't want to be a musician? I hope that you find a moment every day, amidst the busyness, to be thankful for the gifts that you've been given and to be reminded of the joy that comes with music. And I hope that you are enthusiastic to share that joy with others. How very blessed we are to be musicians, and how very much the world needs the blessing of music.
Our first event this program year is a social gathering. Many thanks to Henry and Leigh Lowe for hosting us. Henry will give a demonstration of Hauptwerk, which I am eager to learn about, and our chaplain, Fr. Tom Malia, will lead a brief Installation of Officers. It will be a wonderful time to enjoy each other's company. Be sure that September 24 is marked in your calendar, and make note of all the other great events coming up this program year.
Dr. John Walker has given us another insightful answer to a member's query. We are running low on submitted questions, so keep them coming. It could be about organ repertoire, choral music, working with a choir, liturgy, etc. Any question is a good question.
If you haven't done so already, please make sure that you've renewed your membership and that your information in ONCARD is updated. We are fortunate to have Sean O'Connor as our talented registrar and that he's willing to create our digital (and also print) directory. He will input your information from the AGO records, so it is up to you to make sure that everything is current and that you've renewed.
I look forward to seeing you at the home of Henry and Leigh Lowe! Best wishes for the start of another program and academic year!
The September 2017 issue of The Pipe and Pedal is now available.

My top 10 tips on how to wake up for sunrise
I've never been an early bird - but I changed. For a long time, I was the typical frenchie who would go to bed between midnight and 1am and would be extremely happy to wake up no earlier than 9am.
This now feels like a distant past life…
I think Australia truly changed me in many ways and waking up early is a big one. Now I know I can wake up for sunrise most times - unless I am way too tired, the weather is extremely miserable or cold, or I am too hungover. But, yes, I can do it - those are the only exceptions.
It hasn't been an easy road to sunrise though and although I now feel comfortable to get up, it took me a while to mentally prepare myself for it.
And because I think everyone should experience this more often, see and feel the very first sun rays and welcome the day with such a beautiful gift from nature - here are my top tips on actually getting up and enjoying it.
Spoiler: go to sleep very early!
There's no secret here… If you go to sleep late, you'll struggle waking up early! Figure out how many hours you at least need to function and try to go to sleep a little bit earlier than usual.
If that's hard of seemingly impossible for you, try to have a big day to sleep early or relax by reading a book - no screens! Surely, you'll fall asleep quicker than you think.
2. Visualise yourself
This is a technique I've always learnt and used recently but I swear it helps! Even though you feel weird for doing that, just try it. So before you go to sleep, just visualise yourself, physically going to that place you want to watch sunrise from, meeting your friends or preparing your photography equipment, and the feeling you'll have from watching the sunrise. Hopefully, those little visualisation tricks will help you get up faster when you wake up!
3. Get everything ready to go the night before
One big strategy I have is to not lose a minute when I get up super early so I can maximise my sleeping time. So obviously, prepare everything the night before - cameras, bag, clothes you're going to wear, snack, water - so that all you have to do is dress up, grab your stuff and go watch that sunrise!
4. Have a strong motivation
So you want to wake up for sunrise but you don't know how. BUT you do want to wake up and watch that sunrise, so that's already some motivation here! Use every little bit of motivation you can and why in the first place you wanted to get up that early. Surely this will help you to actually do it.
5. Get into a habit
As everything in life, the first few times will feel a bit tough to wake up so early and get organised. However, you'll quickly notice that the more and more you do it, the easiest it will get for you to get up in the morning.
Set up a little challenge and tell yourself you'll do sunrises at least twice a week for a month and see how you go! After a while, you'll surprise yourself and wake up before your alarm (I certainly do that now…!)
6. Get some friends and unite
There's nothing like knowing your friends will also be there for sunrise! I love that little text as 5am being like "you awaaaake?". It motivates you so much knowing you're all in the same boat, you've all woken up so early and you will all witness an amazing sunrise.
7. Remember how good you felt / imagine how good you will feel
If you've gotten up quite early a few times now and loved the experience, try to take a moment to print that feeling in your brain. This seems silly but when you have to visualise yourself again to motivate yourself, this is quite important!
That happy / emotional / still / calm feeling you had? Hang on to it and you'll feel it again at the next sunrise!
8. Pick your favourite spot
Needless to say, if there's a beautiful place you know about and you love watching sunrise from, this will help you!
If you don't know it yet, search where you think the sunrise will be most beautiful, and change it up by trying different spots facing east. Every sunrise is unique!
9. Go back to sleep after… or not!
If really you think you're going to struggle waking up so early, then you can always go back to sleep after or go for a nap!
But I personally think that sunrises really energise ourselves so it would be a shame to not start the day the best way. But I don't mind a little arvo nap if I'm tired!
10. Be proud of yourself for accomplishing something different / getting out of your comfort zone / being one with nature!
If after all of this, you've made it to sunrise - congratulations! You can be truly proud for being an early bird and pushing hostels to do something different and appreciating the beauty nature has to offer.
You also had the power to do a little change in your life and you took it! So all props to you for being so awesome.
So are you ready to get up early this time? Let me know if you have any other tips, I'd love to hear them!

Back when it was already warm by 5:50am and we were up for incredible sunrises 🌅 Keen on taking more sunrise challenges soon though, there's something truly magical about waking up so early and see the sun shine bright first thing in the morning. Actually writing a blog post about how to wake up for sunrise at the moment (cause I've been there with the struggle!). Anything you'd like to read in particular?

Overseas health insurance customers might want to discuss the benefits of breastfeeding with their doctor.
According to Sarah Montagu, admin secretary for the Association of Radical Midwives, people need advice to help them when it comes to breast feeding.
"Helping people to breastfeed is such an investment in people's future health," she said.
"It makes no sense at all to be cutting the amount of help that women get and the amount of support that they get."
The World Health Organization (WHO) strongly recommends that children be breastfed during their first six months of life.
Doing this benefits the child and the mother, reducing the woman's risk of breast and ovarian cancer in later life.
Ms Montagu added that women could be helped back to work as soon as they like if they are given the help they need to learn how to express milk.

A public auditorium is located on in the building. It has hosted traveling theater troupes, class plays, graduation ceremonies and served as a movie theater until 1917 when a separate theater opened in the city.

Lighting Optimized Design - toggled D-Series Dimmable LED Lamp Tube Light
The toggled D-series dimmable linear LED tube light bulb is designed to replace T8/T12 fluorescent tube lights (120 VAC Only) to significantly lower energy and maintenance costs while enhancing the quality of light in work environments and living spaces.
The lighting optimized triangular tube shape is specifically engineered for a broader and more uniform light distribution with sufficient back lighting to eliminate the "cave" effect in troffers.
This next generation LED lighting technology is a popular choice for environments with 120 VAC power such as basements, kitchens, conference rooms, garages and similar lighting applications. Ideal for recessed troffers, wrap fixtures, under cabinet fixtures, sealed fixtures, deep cell troffers, and strip/shop fixtures.

Column and Row resize cursors could use better cursors

- Change icomment to:
The page you linked to is now a 404. I guess an equivalent today is [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/uxguide/inter-mouse]. How to display this column resize cursor is a good question. [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23886052/what-is-the-resource-id-for-column-resize-cursor|Googling says] that the cursor ID is IDC_SIZEWE. However this is what is already used in the Tk source code, and it is displaying the horizontal resize cursor, not the column resize cursor. Looking in the guts of my Vista box here I didn't find this column resize cursor (in C:\Windows\Cursors).
- Change login to "fvogel"
- Change mimetype to "text/x-fossil-wiki"
- Change subsystem to "88. Themed Tk"

May 10: Sweet Offers
1. My grandmother sweetly offered me a tissue - to be gently placed onto the keys of my laptop?
2. I thought I was going to be handed work; instead, I was offered sweet chocolate cake.
3. Four years ago, I acquired a lovely bathing suit that somehow fell apart. Today, the company stood behind their product and offered me any replacement from their boutique, to $260. Sweet!
