Old Girls joined current pupils and staff for the annual Remembrance Assembly in the Girls' Division. Alumni entered the Great Hall alongside the Prefects and Headmistress Sue Hincks to open the proceedings shortly before 11 o'clock.
The assembly began with a welcome and introduction from Miss Hincks, who recalled some of the key events of 100 years ago, most notably the Battles of the Somme, Verdun and Jutland. She reminded the girls of certain presages to the fighting in the Second World War, including the use of tanks for the first time and the first time a German aeroplane, instead of a zeppelin, was used to conduct an air raid in the UK. She also remembered the Easter Rebellion, which Girls' Division pupils commemorated earlier in the year, and noted the poignancy of including an Irish poet's words in the November 2016 Remembrance service.
This introduction was followed by a poetry reading by Year 13 pupil Natasha Bagnall. She read 'For the Fallen' by Laurence Binyon, the poem from which the famous words of the Ode to Remembrance are taken. This was followed by the hymn 'I Vow to Thee my Country'.
At 11 o'clock, Miss Hincks read the Ode to Remembrance, which was followed by a two minute silence. The Last Post and Reveille was played in superb fashion by Ellen Bate in Year 11.
Ms Bradford-Keegan continued the assembly with a reading of 'And Death Shall Have No Dominion' by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. The final reading was given by Leena Ahmed in Year 12, who read W B Yeats's poem 'An Irish Airman Foresees His Death', which was a fitting tribute in the centenary year of the Easter Rebellion.
Estelle Pass then played 'Prelude in A Minor' by Georg Böhm on the organ, and Miss Hincks offered a prayer which remembered the fallen, active servicemen and women, and all those affected by conflict around the world.
Finally, the Accidentals gave a beautiful and moving rendition of 'Be Still My Soul'. The assembly closed with the hymn 'Jerusalem'.

We asked friends in different capitals around the Arab world to go to a neighborhood mosque to hear the khutbah this week and to report back on what they heard concerning Gaza. We also monitored the central Friday prayer service in Tehran, Iran.
Rage permeated the speeches across the Islamic world. Preachers condemned Israel and the United States. They recounted stories in the Koran that depicted Jews as untrustworthy and treacherous. They expressed their frustration at the international community, especially the United States, for not taking a firm stand against Israel and for failing to put an end to the rising death toll of Palestinians in Gaza. There was a unanimous cry for unity among the divided ranks of Arab states and leaders. And in some countries Egypt was attacked for failing to open the border with Rafah. Egypt is the only country beside Israel that borders the tiny coastal strip.
"Today there is a feeling among Muslims that it is their religion that is targeted and being challenged," said Abdel Moety Bayoumi a professor at Azhar University. "This is what binds all the different nationalities now. This is the strong umbrella. And people want to hear this. People have pains and they need to see and hear these words and discover the sources of strength within their Muslim nation."
Here is what was said in the seven countries across the Middle East we surveyed.

Having anxiety can be tough on any given day, but it can be worse this season. The holidays create the perfect storm that makes you feel buffeted by emotions, overwhelmed by the mounting waves of to-do lists, and wanting to take shelter to avoid all the stress.
I've put together a list of things you can do to help you manage your anxiety and stress through the holidays and into the New Year. There are 30 tips, and you don't have to implement them all at once. If the idea of 30 stress reducing tips stresses you out and makes you want to close your browser right now, take a slow, deep breath. Over the next few weeks I will break these down into more manageable chunks, so that you too can enjoy a less stressful, more enjoyable holiday.
30 Tips for Reducing Holiday Stress
1. Create manageable to-do lists for the day or week. If your to-do list is 50 items long, it's bound to make you feel more anxious. You want a list that you can actually get done.
2. Organize your to-do lists by location. If you have three stores to visit, try to group your errands so you're going to places that are near each other.
3. Manage your expectations about how much you can get done each day. Remember, if you're putting pressure on yourself to get way more done than you realistically can, you're just adding to your anxiety. Allow yourself to let some things go.
4. Keep your regular sleep habits. Getting a good night's sleep does wonders for your outlook on the day. It reduces stress and it's good for your body.
5. Eat healthy. Your body will thank you. Eating junk food can make you feel lethargic, bloated and uncomfortable.
6. Ask for help. You might think your partner, friends or family can read your mind, but it's not likely! Ask friends and family to help take care of the kids or your dog if you have a long day of working and running errands. Expressing what you need allows others to help out.
7. Let go of perfectionism. I love Pinterest, but having happy holidays doesn't mean that you have to try every Pinterest idea to create that "perfect" holiday experience.
8. Take time each day for self-care. Self-care can be as easy as taking the time to read for pleasure, just spend some time doing things that nourish your spirit.
9. Find time to relax. Calming your mind and body can help recharge you for the next task or challenge.
10. Budget your money realistically. You don't want to go into extreme debt trying to create a perfect holiday, only to find you are totally stressed out later because of all the bills.
11. Budget your time. If you put off everything until the last minute, you're only causing yourself more stress and anxiety.
12. Manage others' expectations. Promising everyone everything they ask for will only lead to feeling more overwhelmed. Let your family and friends know your limits.
13. Allow yourself to defy tradition. Before you cave in to the pressure of "we've always done it that way," ask yourself if that's really how you want to do it or if there's a simpler, less stressful alternative.
14. Say "no." Saying "no" isn't easy for many of us. We worry we'll hurt feelings or make others mad at us, but saying "yes" to everyone usually leads to anxious, overwhelmed, resentful and irritated feelings.
15. Be okay with making some mistakes. Letting perfectionism go can be liberating, but we also need to be kind to ourselves. When you forget to order something or forget to be somewhere you were supposed to be, know that you are not alone. Thousands of us out there are forgetting things, too. Instead of beating yourself up, offer yourself some words of comfort and allow that you're human.
16. Fit exercise into your to-do list. Burning off that excess energy and stress does wonders for anxiety.
17. Take time to enjoy the holiday. If we're caught up in all that needs to be done, we forget why we're celebrating.
18. Practice mindfulness. The sights, sounds, smells, tastes and sensations of the season and the holidays can be soothing. I know that frantic shoppers might not seem very calming, but if you take a deep breath and pay full attention to your senses, your body can relax and you might find something to appreciate in all of the craziness.
19. Try to de-stress while traveling. If you're driving, instead of getting angry about the traffic, take the time have a conversation with your traveling companion, or listen to your favorite podcast, audio book or playlist.
20. When you're stressed, take a moment to breath deeply a few times. Imagine a soothing presence as you breath in, and a letting go of the stress as you breath out.
21. Acknowledge that holidays can be SUPER stressful. Just allowing yourself to feel the frustration, or anger, or whatever it is you're feeling can be liberating.
22. Manage your negative self-talk. If you find you're constantly reminding yourself of all the mistakes you've made, try a little self-compassion. It goes like this, "Yup, I could have done that better, but it's OK. I made a mistake but we all do and it's OK."
23. Be mindful that every family has issues. And your family's stuff, whatever it might be, will not disappear just because it's a holiday.
24. Each day, think of one thing you are grateful for and share it with a friend. Feeling gratitude can improve your mood if you're feeling down.
25. Get a hug(s) each day. Hugs make us feel more connected with ourselves and others. If you live alone, you can hug yourself!
26. Allow feelings, even the icky ones. Let yourself feel your feelings, and know they, too, will pass.
27. Focus on the task in front of you. Worrying about your entire to-do list at once can be paralyzing. As they say, "Eat the elephant one bite at a time."
28. Communicate with those you love and care for. Telling someone you love them and feeling the love from them can be very nourishing.
29. Before you blow a gasket when stressed or anxious, pause before reacting. Slow down your breathing and think about what you want to say before you say it.
30. Check in with yourself. Ask yourself, "What do I need in this moment?" and pay attention to those needs.
If you feel like you might need some additional support to help you manage your anxiety so you can enjoy the holiday season, please call me at 410-340-8469 or email me.

This weekend, approximately 100 of us are meeting together for a weekend event. I have an electricity running through me right now, the electricity of anticipation. I'm going to be smiling a lot, smiling at you who attend, drinking you in, waiting to hear from you, your expressions about what it means to be physically immortal. Your words and the way you say them, how your body moves as you speak on the stage with the microphone in your hand, are a one-body experience for me. I take you in, I listen and look, I feel you and am connected to you.
Physical Immortality is me alive, my physical form moving in this world, focusing on being healthy, financially adept, working smart and doing what I love to do for money, staying sharp with my patterns and being sweet to those around me.
I am learning to say what I feel is important to say without an edge in my voice. I want to live greater than ever, I want to fine tune myself, be streamlined, clear-eyed, free to move fast in every way.
When I hear people say things like, "I'm getting old," "Everybody dies," I must speak something different. In that moment, I am compelled to say, No, I'm not dying, I've chosen to keep living, to do whatever I must do to outlive disease, aging and death, to stay around, to keep my eyes on the prize, that means this gorgeous world, the air I breath, the sight of you wanting to live alongside me. I cannot stay in the presence of those words and say nothing. I speak out, and people do what they do with it. Some are interested, some don't hear it quite right, others ignore it. But, I get the benefit of speaking out. My body pulsates in response to my gutsiness, my skin shines a little more, my eyes clear up, I feel closer to those people who said they have to die, because we're there together, having an interaction, an interaction I'm leading in that moment by saying NO to death.
Say No to death, it's the only way to live.

The Mister and me went to a pop-up farmers market called Markterei at the Badeschiff on the week-end. Small start-ups sold their products and it was a lovely atmosphere and really informative for both of us.
We tried out different kinds of pepper, honey produced in Vienna, chili sauces and fresh herbs, to help us decide what to take home with us.
The pink pepper for 10€ had such a lovely aromatic flavour, I can't wait to try out my own smoothies and recipes with it. I once had a smoothie at Rauch Juice Bar with pink pepper, strawberries and basil if I remember correctly and the combination of those ingredients was just so lovely and refreshing.
After the Pepper from Die Pfefferei we extinguished our burning tongues with the smooth and silky honeys of Wiener Honig.
I tried honey with coconut, chestnut honey, forest honey and finally fir honey, which we both loved the most. The honey was 5€ with a refundable deposit which made it around 6,5€.
It is very rich and tastes like brown and sweet caramel. I can totally see me drizzling it on Greek yoghurt with nuts or in my matcha latte or on cooked apple slices with cinnamon. Mhm~
Our last stop was Altschachl Kräuter and a really nice lady let us try a lot of their goods before we settled with basil cress.
The basil cress for 2€ as you can see can be more easily distributed over dishes without having to cut them opposed to normal basil. Also the basil plants in my appartement always seem to wither, so the basil cress seems to be a great alternative.
Ta-da a peek of my breakfast. Normally I just eat really random stuff for breakfast but a simple egg dish topped with basil cress is just a great start into a busy work and university filled day. Ehem anyways back to the herbs of altschachl.
Mustard cress was pretty nice and tangy and I never tried erdginseng before (which is also called Tu-Ren-Shen and more grown-up: Talinum paniculatum ;)) and it was a very interesting experience. And by interesting I mean weird. The leaves tasted fine, then they turned suuuuper sour and to top it all of it got a bit slimy. Weird but fun!
You can find information about all producers that sell their products at Markterei here. The next event probably will be held in a month :)

One of the very first project at Glasgow School of Art was a RESEARCH.
We were all given an object, mostly cheap, easy to get to item. Mine was DENTAL FLOSS.
While it was hard for me to decipher how to create something worthy of my future portfolio, I understood that, in order to develop as an artist and benefit from my time in this creative environment, I had to let go of my ego wanting to do my best and simply try out new techniques, new medium of expression.
In order to make the transition easier on my soul, I decided, after taking loads of photos - obviously, to prepare a hand made book. It was stitched with dental floss and includes answers to three of the questions I asked random audience. I collated their thoughts on relationships, their perception of themselves in their environment, as well as little deviation on their secrets in respect to others, in a form of simply printed words that transform the photographs and give them their meaning.
Hand made - copy of one only.
I also made a little video.
As a new student it took some tears to get on my feet. Friends who already study at GSA came with a helping hand explaining that it is a time for experimentation and creating crappy stuff. That's the only way to get better.
I nevertheless felt quite worthless and wanted to literally throw up my whole existence, my whole being, reverse my every step, my birth and so on. I'm still uncertain of the outcomes of my studies but I now know that it's only up to me to use this time to be joyful about expressing my creativity. All I have to do is do what I love. What could be better?

The Triple Alliance between Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy was formed to protect the member nations by promising military support in the event of attack by other great powers. Initiated by Otto von Bismarck, it was first formed in 1882 and periodically renewed until the outbreak of World War I in 1914.
In 1879, Germany and Austria-Hungary, already bound by ethnic ties, formed an alliance, mainly to defend themselves against Russia. In 1881, the French occupied Tunisia, which the Italians also coveted. This prompted Italy to join the alliance in 1882 to protect itself against France, which the other members of the alliance already considered a threat. Under the terms of the agreement, if either Germany or Italy were attacked by France, the other members would come to their aid, and if Germany or Austria-Hungary were attacked by Russia, Italy remained neutral. Despite the mutual accord, the countries continued to squabble over Italy's North African colonial ambitions and Austria-Hungary's territorial desires in the Balkans.
In 1902, unsure of the integrity of the other members of the alliance, Italy made a secret agreement with France that if Germany or Austria-Hungary attacked either country, the other would remain neutral. This effectively ended the Triple Alliance, though Italy ostensibly continued to renew the agreement, first in 1907 and again in 1912. In 1914, confident of German support, Austria-Hungary attacked Serbia and began World War I. In 1915, after extended secret negotiations, Italy entered the First World War on the side of the Allies, the alliance of nations opposing Germany and Austria-Hungary.

This year, my new year's resolution is simple. Relax. Do something everyday that is relaxing. It feels really good. Of course, it has also turned into an obsession with doing jigsaw puzzles, which are really relaxing. It is the tenth day of the year, and we are working on our fourth (or fifth?) puzzle.
How about you? Do you like to do puzzles? How about a puzzle trade? I'll send you mine if you send me yours (1000-2000 pieces please)!
PS- that cake pictured in the last picture? It's Zabar's cinnamon babka. So good. Our new year's eve tradition. Yum!

Hi, everyone! I want to thank Kia for hosting me today!
Dare to Love Forever is my second published novel, and I'm excited
to share the story with you.
Kissing!! Who doesn't like kissing? Yes, in my stories I have sex scenes and the supernatural and some kidnappings and bad guys and heroes…well, you get the point. But one thing I love is kissing, especially those first kisses where there are butterflies and anticipation and heat and hope and promise. So today, I am sharing with you kisses from three different stories of mine. Enjoy!
Dare To Love Forever
Lincoln raised Carson's hand and rested it against his cheek. His dark beard scratched at Carson's palm. Carson raised his chin, met hooded, lust-filled eyes. Butterflies the size of crows beat against Carson's stomach. Lincoln's tongue came out and licked at his own lips. Carson's eyes flicked down to watch the erotic motion. Gods, he wanted to taste those wine-colored lips.
Maybe Lincoln was reading Carson's mind because Lincoln lifted his other hand and laid it on the back of Carson's neck. The skin-to-skin contact raced a shiver through Carson's body all the way to his toes. His cock was so hard and aching, and he wanted to touch it but he refrained, waiting…breathing…yearning, as Lincoln continued to stare right into him.
The hand on his neck tightened and pulled Carson closer, leading him to Lincoln's lips. Time stopped as he traveled the short distance to those moist lips. Just before they touched, Carson closed his eyes. Lincoln's hot breaths hit Carson's face and then their lips came together tentatively, as if they were both waiting for the other to make the move. The electricity sparking from just that touch zipped straight to Carson's groin and he surged forward, turning his head and opening his mouth while wrapping his arms around Lincoln's neck. Lincoln's hand tightened on Carson's neck and the other wrapped around Carson's waist and pulled him hard against Lincoln's chest.
Oh gods, the taste of the man was heavenly, and Carson attacked his lips, teeth clacking, and a moan rising from one of them. Lincoln turned his body and pulled Carson onto his lap. Instantly, Carson humped against Lincoln's stomach. A scorching heat rose from within and Carson's control held by only a fragile thread.
Curiosity Killed Shaney
Snuggling the large bear chest, Shaney reveled in their serene closeness. Hudson's hand gently lifted Shaney's chin. His gaze searched Shaney's face for something. He tried to deny the lust he read in Hudson's intense eyes. If only…
Hudson leaned closer, his gaze straying to Shaney's mouth. Short gasps of air fanned his skin as Hudson's seductive lips descended. Shaney closed his eyes. His breath ceased as a tentative caress and the swipe of a wet tongue played at his needy lips, sparking nerve endings that zipped straight to his groin.
Any misconceptions he'd had about Hudson's orientation quickly dissipated. Shaney clenched at the cotton material on Hudson's back, desperately pulling at the reins of his overwhelming need to rub and rut like a cat in heat. His growing erection pushed at the front of the oversized sweats he'd come to be wearing. The pressure on his lips increased as Hudson's tongue explored his mouth. Hudson tightened his grip and lifted Shaney until his toes tickled the carpet. One of Hudson's legs slid between Shaney's thighs and Hudson lowered him onto that hard-muscled limb and, oh, God, the pressure felt so fucking good.
The kissing turned into an urgent battle of tangling tongues, clacking teeth, and moans filling their combined mouths. Hudson lowered his hand, kneading Shaney's backside. His other hand ran trembling fingers through the waves at the back of Shaney's skull, taking full control of the bruising kiss. Shaney rocked his pulsing cock against Hudson's leg and Hudson's immense bulge pressed hard into Shaney's hip, increasing Shaney's frenzied bucking. Sweat coated Shaney's forehead and prickled the skin of his back. Growing pressure filled Shaney's balls, and warm waves of euphoric pleasure filled every cell as Shaney chased his elusive orgasm. He needed to come so badly, wanted it with everything he was, wanted it with Hudson.
Waiting for Snow
Strong fingers touched Dain's neck, kneading the rock hard muscles. Dropping his head forward, Dain willed the relaxation to filter through every muscle of his body.
"What happened that night, Dain?"
Two thumbs rubbed over the top of Dain's spine and he moaned. Any inkling of his migraine dissipated. Soaking in every inch of those hands, he said, "If I tell, it'll grow arms and legs and a head and fucking eat me alive."
Jake leaned over his shoulder and whispered. "I won't let that happen. I won't let anyone hurt you again." Dain shuddered, and fuck, if he didn't believe every word. But the minute he spilled the details of that awful night and his past, Jake's touches would stop and he needed that touch like a man dying of thirst.
Warm air feathered across Dain's cheek and Jake whispered, "I lied earlier."
Dain licked at his dry lips. "About what?"
"I don't want to be your friend, Sweetheart."
The seductive whisper ran straight to Dain's cock. Dain wanted to touch Jake, kiss him, lick him. No one had touched Dain since Mick. Fuck friendship.
"Don't want that either." God, his dick was speaking for him now.
Dain turned and a hot spike of desire shot straight to his core as their eyes connected. Jake's chest rose rapidly and his eyes hooded. Dain placed a hand over Jake's racing heart as Jake's large hands settled gently on Dain's hips. With shallow breaths, shaky legs, and heart pounding against his ribs, Dain lifted his chin.
"Kiss me," he whispered.
Their lips crashed together like a breaking tide. Tongues tangled and the kiss took on an increasing urgency, but Jake pulled back and, with a frowning confusion, searched Dain's eyes for something. Dain wanted to question him, but need overruled. Opening for another kiss, Dain ate at Jake's mouth as if he were starving. Jake's hands ran down Dain's back then squeezed his ass. Dain bucked his hips and Jake answered with a buck of his own. Shit, a mammoth bulge pressed into Dain's stomach. God, he wanted this man here and now, forever.
Carson Locke is a Tabula Rosa vampire—a dangerous rarity in the world of vampires. With one bite, he can wipe clean a vampire's mind, creating a mindless drone. Because of this, Carson has spent his entire twenty-three years sheltered at home. That changes when his entire family is murdered. Now on the run and near death, Carson meets Commander Lincoln Samuels, a beautiful vampire who tries to heal him. In doing so, Carson is bonded to the vampire and turned into something the vampire world has never seen. When Carson is poisoned, he believes that someone wants him dead as well, however there are greater plans for Carson put into motion hundreds of years before his birth.
Lincoln is a Sanatore vampire with the ability to heal other vampires. He heads a team in the New Vampire Justice police force in Utica, NY. Late one night, he is called to a local Vampire Blood Market where a starving Tabula Rosa vampire is about to be executed by one of his officers. Feeling a strong connection to Carson, Lincoln wants to heal the broken man despite knowing the risk in doing so. Healing Carson could destroy Lincoln and cost him the chance to love again. What Lincoln finds is that there is a greater evil threatening to take Carson from him.
Can two vampires who have loved and painfully lost in the past, learn to trust one another, defeat the evil rising against them, and dare to love forever?

Descending farther, the flashlight flickered. Carson froze. Stopping to shake the light, he could hear the beating of his overwrought heart in his ears, feel the knot of dread expand in his gut. Gods, if he had anything in his stomach to throw up, he would. Right now, he needed the blood that the Vampire Blood Market (VBM) provided. Carson's teeth had only sunk into a vein once and the nightmare of that moment had forever been burned into his memory. Besides, from what he'd heard, the bite hurt the donor like a bitch. That was mainly the sport of pain sluts and adrenaline junkies who visited bars where biting was still legal. In his isolated world of Gifford, NY, blood had always been supplied. Now, he had to feed himself. Without money, that meant stealing what he needed.
At the bottom of the stairs, he peered through the small window into the VBM. Walls of illuminated refrigerated cases held blood in containers similar to milk jugs. Unfortunately, stealing milk didn't hold the same consequence as stealing blood.
Ignoring the dangerousness of his mission, Carson grasped the door handle. What he feared would be locked opened freely. Inside the VBM, the refrigerated cases hummed. The air was cooler than in the hallway. Carson's mouth watered and his empty stomach clenched tight. Rushing to the first case, he pulled open the door. He grabbed the closest opaque white container and ripped the top off. Just as he lifted the container with the lifesaving liquid to his lips, the lights came on and a voice shouted, "Freeze!"
Carson dropped the container and gasped. His heart pushed into overdrive, his breaths barely escaped his throat. He gaped at the three men and two women dressed in black uniforms pointing guns at him. Carson tried to remain still but his feet moved backward without thought.
"Freeze or we'll shoot!" A man with short black hair, who was larger than a truck, leveled a gun at Carson's head. The man could end all of Caron's pain. The fear, the hunger, the uncertainty, the agony of losing his family. Just charge at the giant—or slip his hand into his pocket as if he had a gun—and the bullets would do the rest. But as he ran into the wall behind him, his muscles seized. He was going to die no matter what he did.
"Down on your knees and hands on your head!"
Without thought, Carson went down hard on his knees and rested his hands on his head. His head swam from hunger, and his legs shook. It was all he could do to remain upright. Carson closed his eyes and thought of his younger brother, Caden, and his mom. He just wanted this to be over quick.
"Strip him," he heard the gruff voice say.
Carson's chest locked up as hands grabbed him. They ripped Carson's parka over his head and then his sweater and T-shirt were next. The chill on his skin sent a shudder through his emaciated body.
Please, do it quickly.
Hands held him by his shoulders and arms, as if at any minute he might resist. There wasn't an ounce of resistance left in him, not an ounce of fight. Tears burned his eyes like acid. Gods, his life had sucked so far. This was the perfect ending.
The large man stepped forward. Heavy black boots scraped the floor. The letters NVJ in large white letters crossed his chest. New Vampire Justice. The vampire equivalent of a SWAT team, there because Carson had been trying to steal blood, an act punishable by immediate death.
"You have been caught in the act of stealing blood from a certified Vampire Blood Market, an act punishable by death by the Vampire Justice Act of 2003. Under the jurisdiction of the New Vampire Justice code number 456.5, I, Chief Enforcement Officer for the city of Utica, NY, hereby pass the sentence of death. Do you have anything you wish to say before this judgement is carried out?"

The Internet has been abuzz as of late with news of celebrities being hacked and their most intimate, personal photos stolen.
What's worse, whoever was responsible has shared the photos using social media and other means.
The FBI is investigating. Apple investigated and found that its iCloud and Find My iPhone services weren't breached but that certain accounts were compromised in a "very targeted attack."
No matter how it happened, how famous you are and who was at fault, this is a great time to provide some reminders on how to keep your social media accounts safe.
The password is never ... Here's the problem with traditional typed passwords: People are lazy. They'd much rather use the same one over and over or use a really easy to remember one than go the extra mile to protect their accounts. Here are some super simple tips when choosing a password:
•Never use anything related to your name, address, birthday or pets' names. If someone really wants your information, these are things that can be found pretty easily.
•Make your password 14 characters or longer. I remember writing columns when the recommended length was 11 characters, but as hackers and machines get smarter, so must we.
•Add special characters. Substituting a lowercase e for a 3 or 7 for an r worked fine in its day, but we're way beyond that now. You need to embrace the exclamation points and percentage signs, and you can't just dump them at the end of a bunch of letters and numbers. Get in there and mix it up. Just write down your passwords and put them some place safe to make sure you have them when you need them.
•Different passwords for everything. Your bank accounts and your Facebook account should never have the same passwords.
The password is always ... I was talking with a colleague last week who logged into Facebook and somewhat proudly exclaimed "I haven't changed my Facebook password in like three years." If I had a buzzer, I'd slam it hard right now. This is not a badge of honor. I recommend checking and changing your passwords once every three months at a minimum to be safe. A little bit of work goes a long way.
Use all the safeguards afforded to you. Some platforms offer extended log-in safety. For example, Facebook has Trusted Contacts who can help you if you're ever having trouble logging into your account. Twitter offers a mobile phone component in which a phone number is tied to your account for extra password security. Always check the settings page of your favorite platform to see what's available, and if it's offered you should use it.
Check your settings. Every time you allow another app to post to Facebook or Twitter, you are granting a new third party permission. Many times, the vulnerabilities in account come through these apps. It's easy to remove this access, so if you don't need to offer it, revoke it. You can always add it back later.
Watch what you post. While I'm all about freedom of expression, I would recommend watching what you post online. In the case of the celebrities, the problem may be a weakness in the cloud. I'm the first one to tell you to back up your data, but I'd strongly advise against backing up nude photos. Or taking them, but that's a subject for another column.
Be safe out there. These tips aren't the only ones, but they're a great start.
What questions do you have about social media? Tweet them to @scottkleinberg with hashtag #SoSocial. He might select yours for use in a future column.

Networking Vendors are off to the Kubernetes conferences in 2018. Everywhere you look, vendors are sending emails about their K*S integrations and to look for them at the K8S conferences.
Why is this ?
K8S is poised to become the successor to VMs. We don't need the server emulation what we really want is a way to run code and so developers should define the machine – hence, containers.
And containers need networking. Not just in the public cloud but also to integrate with SD-WAN where branch networks/remote users can have safe access to apps.
There is a lot to play for.

Patient Stories
I couldn't have asked for a better group of people. From when I first called to make an appointment for my 82 year old mom, to the technicians performing the various tests, to Dr. Bostrom and then finally to check out, everyone was very kind, patient, knowledgeable and caring. Dr. Bostrom was especially kind and patient and took the time to listen to my mom and answer all of her questions.
- Anon
Excellent communication about the steps for a minor procedure. Excellent completion of the procedure. Medical staff professional and compassionate. Procedure room clean. Office staff did all of the necessary insurance precerts, etc. I highly recommend this medical practice!
- Frank
The staff was friendly and efficient. they also seemed to be friendly to each other as well as the patients. I did not have to wait too long before being taken care of. The Doctor was very personable and thorough He answered any question that I asked. I was given a lot of information and asked if I understood it. The office was clean and the waiting room was comfortable.
- Kathryn
The staff is very friendly which eased my nerves greatly. I was seen with in 3 minutes of my appointment time. Scheduling my next procedure made me seem like I was talking with an old friend and it just someone who had a job to do. Each person I talked to from entering to leaving took the time to let me know they were there for my benefit. It was a very positive and comforting experience.
- Charlene
On top of all the latest advances in health care. Staff is very friendly. Debbie is one of the nicest health care people I have ever met. I have been with this medical group since it began with just Dr Haas and Holmes.
- John
I appreciate the prompt and professional reception I received at the surgery center and the assurance from the staff leading up to the cataract surgery. Dr. Wickliffe was very quiet and helpful instructing me through the procedure. Most importantly, I think I will have a great result.
- Mary
The entire experience from the staff greeting you as you check in to the check out process is smooth, seamless. You are treated with respect and as an individual. It makes you appreciate the care you receive. All questions are answered to your satisfaction before you leave!!
- Christopher
I spoke with Ashley as I was on my way to the office, and when I arrived she checked me in. Ashley was very kind & could not have been nicer! I had a wonderful experience as I had my preliminary testing, which was performed by Merritt. This lovely young lady was so personable, kind & professional while working with me! Finally, Dr Bostrum was efficient, kind, informative & I am so pleased to have such a wonderful ophthalmologist to see, and appreciate that Palmetto Eye is such a friendly, yet professional group. What a wonderful atmosphere!! God bless them.
- Sharon 6/14/17
Everyone, and I mean everyone, from front desk greeting to technicians to Doctor Bostrom to checkout are friendly, professional and efficient! Great surgeon!
- Michael
Cataract surgery for the first eye can be a bit scary. Dr. Wickliffe called personally after the surgery to ask if I had any questions she could answer. I was so impressed with her care and concern for her patients. The staff was cheerful and professional and just absolutely nice! I go next month for the second eye and know I will have the same excellent care.
- Arlene
My recent visit to Palmetto Eye & Laser Center was very pleasurable. I registered on-line so my check in was speedy. Didn't wait long at all before I was called for the pre-exam before I saw the doctor. It was speedy and very professional. Then I was escorted to the exam room and the doctor came in very quickly. As always Dr. Dille was pleasant, professional and very thorough. I was in and out in good time and this is a very busy practice.
- Alecia
I did take the time to check in on-line and had completed all my paperwork in advance. I sat in a chair for less than 5 minutes before I was taken back to start my examination. From arrival to departure, it took 40 minutes and that did include having my pupils dilated. I really appreciated the efficiency and respect for my time.
- Eugene
I feel that I can trust the doctors and staff at Palmetto Eye and Laser Center. There will be no needless prescriptions, just honest assessments and diagnoses. I know that cataract surgery will be in my future, and I am confident that my vision is in the most capable hands in this area.
- Steven
My experience here since 2014 has been amazing. Love this place and these doctors! A special thanks to Dr Wickliffe for saving my eye and the care she has provided me since the injury. Such a great doctor.
- Joseph
Very impressed with their new check-in process. I was sent an email a week or so in advance that I could update my medical history and personal information before I arrived for my 8:45 AM appointment. When I arrived for my appointment, I informed the front desk who I was and I was immediately seated, no wait, no stress, no nothing. Within 5 minutes I was called to an examination room and my evaluation begin. Easiest check in ever! I dealt with 3 of the staff and the doctor and I continue to be impressed with the entire organization. Their technology is the best in the Upstate. Highly recommend this group.
- Edgar
Everyone is always cheerful and willing to see that you are seen in a reasonable amount of time and the doctor fully checks your eyes for all possible issues or defects. I actually arrived over an hour before my scheduled appointment and I was seen and out the door at the time I was due to arrive – they went over and above getting me in and our early.
- David

Should the Mets Draft These Western Connecticut Ball Players?
The New York Mets are dreadful. Everyone's hurt and they need help. Personally, I think I have a solution.
Of course, the Mets most likely won't bring up High School baseball players since it's such a rare practice. There have only been two players in the past 20 years that have gone to the Big Show straight out of High School, but wouldn't it be cool if some local players go that kind of love?
After some intense research, I've come up with some all-star high school player suggestions Mets fans just might like, so listen up Sandy Alderson.
Mike Halas - Mike was the catcher for the Danbury Hatters with a .316 batting average in his senior year. Mike signed a letter of intent to play his college ball at West Point. Good luck from all of us, Mike!
Kenny Martinez - Plays the outfield, designated hitter, and is a right-handed pitcher for Danbury High. He has many talents that the NY Mets could utilize. Kenny was batting .333 and will play one more season with the Hatters before he graduates in 2018.
Ben Casparius - RHP pitcher for Staples High in Westport. Casparius was ranked #83 in the country by baseballfactory.com, and was named Hearst Connecticut Media baseball MVP in May of 2017. Ben was one of the best hitters, best pitchers, and third basemen in all of high school ball in 2017. He just began his freshman year at the University of North Carolina, which is a Division 1 school.
Colin Motill - A standout second basemen for the Ridgefield Tigers, Colin hit .353 during the 2017 and was named to the All-FCIAC team.
The four players mentioned above are just a small example of the high school baseball talent in Connecticut. To find out about all of Connecticut CIAC high school baseball teams in Connecticut, click on maxpreps.com.

Google is one of my favorite web companies because of all the incredible free apps they offer. They are my go-to for email, calendar and photos, and now they are my first choice for online file storage.
After many months of its rumored existence, Google Drive was finally launched on April 24, 2012. Now that it's been a little over a month, it's time to see how Google Drive stacks up against its competitors.
Getting Started
Like all Google products, setting up your Google Drive account is a breeze. Sign in with your Google account and visit drive.google.com/start to get started.
Web Interface
Google Drive's web app is very similar to Google's other products. If you are an avid Google users, you'll feel right at home. If you don't have the Google Drive desktop app installed, you'll be prompted to download it if you want; and you can easily tell Google to stop reminding you about it.
Above is my Google Drive in Chrome. I downloaded the desktop client and immediately copied my entire Dropbox over to Google Drive. It was easy and only took an hour or so to upload about 10 GB worth of files. Google Drive kept all of my modified dates intact when I moved files via Windows, which I thought was very neat.
Google Drive Desktop
The desktop app for Google Drive is very similar to Dropbox. After you download and install Google Drive, you'll be prompted to login with your credentials. You can choose to only sync certain folders to your computer, or you can sync all of them. You can also change the location of your Google Drive folder if you wish (the default location is in your user folder (C:/Users/YourName/Google Drive).
Your folders and files are available inside your Google Drive folder just like a regular Windows folder. You can use Windows Explorer to add and manage files and folders. Google Drive puts small icons on files and folders to signify whether they have been synced or are in the process of syncing, just like Dropbox.
Google Drive Everywhere
One of Google Drive's best features is that you can access your files anywhere. There is desktop software available for Windows, Mac and Chrome OS, and for Android (iOS is coming soon). You can also access your files at any time by visiting https://drive.google.com.
The Android client is very easy to use and gives you access to your files anytime you need them. You can even enable offline access for your most important files.
Google Docs
Google Drive integrates seamlessly with Google Docs and basically gives you an online office suite. And the best thing of all – files that are in Google Doc format don't count toward your storage space. So if you convert your Office documents, spreadsheets and presentations to Google Docs formats, you won't be taking away from your available space.
You can also enable conversion from Office formats to Google Docs formats upon upload, or be asked each time you upload a file.
You can view Office formatted files from the web interface, but you can't edit them online unless you convert to Google Docs or download to your computer. On the desktop client, however, you can open Office (or other formats) just like you would from a regular folder. From the desktop client, you can view and edit Google Docs by double-clicking the file and it will launch the web interface.
Other Features
Collaboration with others is easy with Google Docs; you can quickly share files or folders with anyone through the web interface. In addition to sharing, you can integrate apps from the Chrome Web Store into Google Drive to have instant access to your created files.
Don't forget Google's incredible search capabilities that are built in. If you've forgotten where you stored that spreadsheet, simply search for it and Google Drive will find it for you.
Google Drive also saves file changes while you're working through the web interface, just in case something happens. You can also go back up to 30 days to find old revisions if you need to.
You get 5 GB of storage space for free. Upgrading your plan is very cheap: 25 GB is only $2.49 per month (less than 10 ¢ per GB) and 100 GB is only $4.99 per month (less than 5¢ per GB). They offer additional plans if you need even more storage space, and you can find information here.
Google Drive's most popular competitor, Dropbox, is much more expensive when upgrading from the free plan. Dropbox only offers 50 GB ($9.99 per month) and 100 GB ($19.99 per month) for the casual user. While some other competing services offer more free space, there are downsides depending on the service, such as Windows SkyDrive limiting each file to 50 MB.
Another great thing about Google Drive is if you upgrade your storage space, the extra space can be used in Google Drive and Picasa.
Final Thoughts
Google Drive is an incredible online file storage solution that really blows its competitors out of the water. Personally, I am a fan of all things Google and after using Google Drive for a few days, I completely switched over from Dropbox for my cloud storage needs.
Even if the free 5 GB isn't enough for you, the paid storage plans are very affordable, giving Google Drive a huge advantage over over services. As long as you're willing to give Google more and more control over your online life, Google Drive is the best cloud-based file storage service available.
Access your files anywhere with Google Drive - Google's cloud storage service.

- Free; 25 GB for $2.49/month; 100 GB for $4.99/month |


text: 5 Eco Friendly Boating Tips Written by Fairway Insurance Services on 8/22/2017 4:52 AM in clean boating, boating, eco friendly, environment, sailing, insurance. It has 0 Comments. When you go boating, you want to have fun and enjoy yourself. There is nothing wrong with this but it is important to do your part for the environment so everyone will have a safe and enjoyable place for many years to come. Here are five things to remember that will help you have an environmentally friendly time. 1. Don't Throw Trash into the Water There is no reason to toss empty beverage containers or food wrappers into your local bodies of water. This causes a great deal of debris and can result in toxic build up over time. Never throw out plastic six pack holders. If these things get into the water, it's possible for innocent creatures to be captured and trapped inside of them. This can result in terrible tragedies, including needless loss of life, and pain and suffering. When you toss garbage into our bodies of water, you make it hard on everyone. It looks terrible and people visiting will think that everyone in Atlantic Canada is thoughtless and selfish. This is not a good way to attract tourism and create good will. It's very easy to bring an empty trash bag with you. Fill it up before leaving to go home, and if you see other items discarded, pick them up too. After all, someone has to be responsible. 2. Be Careful with Motor Fluids When you have to refuel, make sure that none of the gasoline spills into the water. Have a fuel bib for your tank handy. This will catch any spillage and keep it from polluting the eco system. Keep your fuel containers safe and pack an emergency spillage kit. This can include old towels, socks, or any absorbent materials. 3. Wash Your Boat and Trailer Before you launch your vessel, make sure it is clean. That will keep a lot of unnecessary things from getting into the water. This is very important if you are traveling a long ways. For example, some types of marine life may cling to your hull and become transported to another body of water. This can wreak havoc with certain species when introduced into another waterway. Make sure to drain all types of water from your vessel after you are done. It's important to clean your boat after boating also. This way, you won't have to worry about cleaning before you leave next time. 4. Do You Really Need the Motor? If you are out fishing, you may only need to use a trolling motor. Consider using oars instead of the outboard motor on smaller vessels. This saves on fossil fuels. Plus, many outboard engines are two cycle, and this means they burn oil with the gasoline. That puts a great deal of pollution into the atmosphere. 5. Do You Need a New Engine? Is your engine running rough and using a lot of fuel? This could be a good time to replace it with a more efficient motor. Newer engines use much less gas and they put fewer pollutants into the atmosphere. This will not only save you money, but make the world a little cleaner place to live.

DIVISION C - This is our beginner league. If you're new to volleyball or would like to dust off the rust after not playing for a few years, this is the perfect division for you. This is a more relaxed league and players have fun without pressure. No doubles or lifts will be called in this division. We will only call net violations.. This is a great division to have fun and work on your basic skills.
DIVISION B - This division is for players who are ready for more competition. Players in this division should know how to serve, pass, set, and hit. This is the perfect league for you if you're still learning and might not always execute these skills with great consistency. We will call very obvious doubles, lifts, out of rotations, as well as the calls for Division C.
DIVISION BB - Players in Division BB typically have played in lower divisions and are now confident in their skills and understand how to play each position on the court. Expect to have a basic understanding of each position and confident to play each rotation fully. We will call doubles, lifts, and all the violations for Division B.
DIVISION A - Our A players can run different offenses (6-2, 5-1), have a great understanding of all positions on the court and can execute all skills with accuracy and power. Our referees strictly adhere to all rules and will call all violations for Division BB but at a higher rate.

I am un-diagnosed, still going through the motions and currently awaiting some blood tests as the Dr has decided to test me for gluten intolerance. However if you look at my other posts I don't think I have that.
Anyway I am on the combined pill (Gedarel) but I am having cramps even when I'm not on my period. Tonight my back is killing me with cramp. Sometimes when I have cramp in my tummy it is hard to tell the difference between IBS cramps and period cramps but when its in my back like this I know its period/womb related. However I did have sex last night and I'm not too sure if that would cause it.
I've always just suffered when I've been on my periods but the last few months I feel as if I'm suffering more between them as well with cramps and sharp pains everywhere. Does that mean if I have endo it could be getting worse?

It can be frustrating to worry about the security of your car, considering the lengths you have gone through to acquire it or have it customised. Car thieves are employing more creative and sophisticated ways to steal your vehicle, so it pays to arm yourself with better ways to keep your car from being stolen.
Here are a few smart tips:
Lock the Doors after Parking
A simple yet effective way to secure your ride is to lock up. A thief scanning for cars to steal will find an unlocked vehicle more attractive than a locked one. Regular maintenance and vehicle servicing will help keep your car under lock and key. Find companies that specialise in car security, like Zanden Mount Lock & Key Service, to help deter would be thieves.
Always Park in a Safe Area
If you can find a secure parking space, even if you have to pay for it, park your car there. Avoid areas with a reputation of car thefts. If you are parking at night, park your car in a place with proper lighting.
Have Hidden Kill Switches
A kill switch may be a bit pricey, but it is well worth the investment. If a thief knows that he will have to search for a hidden kill switch after struggling with the car's ignition, he is less likely to be willing to go through the trouble. The search eats up more time, which is a luxury he may not have. Remember, most car thefts are opportunistic in nature.
Install a Car Alarm
Car alarms are among the most common safety features available. An alarm will instantly notify you of potential theft and enable you to act swiftly — it will give you enough time to inform the authorities. It is an effective deterrent against car theft.
Potential car theft can be the cause of anxiety for many vehicle owners. Fortunately, by getting safety features from a good company that deals in vehicle servicing, you can alleviate your fears.

The Man Behind the Diva
Recently, I got to meet and chat with Josh Berman, Creator, Writer and Executive Producer of Lifetime TV's Drop Dead Diva. Have you seen this show? In a word, it's...
If you've never seen Drop Dead Diva before, it's about two very different ladies living one life. Deb is a cute little model who, while polishing her nails and driving, meets her demise when she runs into a truck full of grapefruit. Way up on a cloud somewhere, she talks her way into coming back to earth. Kind of like talking yourself out of a ticket, but way more important. Meanwhile, Jane is an attorney who takes a bullet for her boss and is near death on an operating table when Deb the cute little super model takes a wrong turn somewhere and accidentally ends up in Jane.
Best line ever? When Deb wakes up and says, "I feel bloated."
Jane resumes life with Deb's spirit, character, personality, and unending knowledge about fashion while still recalling all those years that she spent in law school and in court. Only Deb's best friend, Stacy and guardian angel, Fred know the real story.
The show is witty, thoughtful, and incredibly creative. I absolutely love that Jane gets to be smart, fabulous, and curvy. I had to know how the idea of Drop Dead Diva came to the show's creator, Josh Berman. Lucky for me, I got to ask him that very question last Friday at the season premier showing at The Grove in Los Angeles.

If you haven't had a chance to see the first episode, you can watch it on myLifetime as well as on Fancast. In the first Episode, Would I Lie to You, Deb/Jane comes out fighting... after a little prodding from her friends. By the end of the episode, you'll be cheering for your new favorite Diva.

So I can't play my existing library of games? Screw that.
Where are you getting that idea from?That's marketing suicide.
I believe they have said there is no backwards compatibility, so yes, marketing suicide.
Think Sony won E3 the other day, Microsoft shall be feeling the pain. Missed it? Well here's a handy video to sum up why!http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=71H69yDZ6W4#!
I'm certainly not complaining. After all, the aforementioned benefits that PS+ provides—not to mention the instant game collection—far outweigh the subscription fee. Literally, they're worth more. In fact, even knowing that PS+ is now all but required, the only people who seem to be complaining are the Microsoft fans who are desperate for something derogatory to latch onto.
Frankly, I don't give a shit which console is 'better', but this is hilarious.

We told you about a report in the New York Times that said CBS news executives had met with Anderson Cooper about an anchor job.
Over at Politico, Anderson Cooper's spokesperson denies that an anchor position was floated during the meeting: "Reports that Cooper has recently met with CBS News re: an anchor position are false. He is not engaged in any additional conversations with them beyond those necessary for his continuing role on '60 Minutes.'"
The Times quoted "two TV veterans informed of the meeting."

Hi! I'm Sterling.
I am so glad you're here! My desire is that you will find encouragement and hope here. Thank you so very much for visiting.
I live in Southeastern Virginia with my husband, Cal. We have two kitties, Niles and Frasier, and have been building our life together since 2009. While there are many parts to my story, the most important is that I am a Christian. Without Jesus, I would not have survived the last few years. Which brings me to the second most important thing about me: I am a mom to a deceased child. Her name was June and she was the best thing to ever happen to me. You can read all about her HERE!
Now, maybe you're getting married and thought you were coming to learn about this super cool wedding planner that everyone keeps raving about. (Ha! Kidding!) I have spent the last 4 years serving amazing couples, but am no longer taking my own weddings. I would be so happy to connect you with several dear friends of mine who will take such good care of you and your wedding journey!

"Messianic Judaism" is a catch-all for a vague and general idea that attracts millions: the Jewish cultural context of the Bible virtually ignored in Christendom for millennia. Millions of Christians of all stripes and persuasions, from the Catholic and Orthodox Christian world to the Protestant, Evangelical, and Charismatic world are hungry to know more about Jesus the Rabbi. ... But many "Messianic Jewish" groups are simply Christians confused about who they are, who Israel is, and what God is doing in these times with his people Israel.
He goes on to list a few of the extremes, such as the "Two House" movement (the idea that all European Christians are probably descended from the 10 lost tribes, and therefore ought to be living kosher), those who view the traditional church as a pagan counterfit of what was meant to be the church, those who believe all believers need to be Torah observant, and more. Anyone who, like me, has tried to learn about Messianic Judaism by trying to read through the trail of web pages and chat room strings, will recognise them all.
At least I'm glad to have come across Derek's blog some time ago. Here's his own take on it, which I fully support:
Messianic Judaism at the core is about Jews and Gentiles who come alongside these Jews to be part of God's work in the remnant of Israel. We believe that God is calling Jewish people to faith in Messiah within Judaism. ... Messianic Judaism is not an alternative to the Church. Messianic Judaism is a movement within Judaism formed by God and expressing in word and deed a Jewish faith in Yeshua.
Anyway, have a read yourself...

Asked by:
IQbservable Rename to IAnswerable, IConversable, I?
General discussion
I've been so busy with other projects that I haven't had time to keep playing with (and trying to break) Rx. With the recent video featuring Bart De Smet, I felt that IQbservable's need for a new name was dire indeed.
So here are my ideas, least favorite to most favorite:
- IAnswerable
- IConversable
- IAsyncQueryable
Just some ideas, IAnswerable implies the source of the data is capable of being answered, which is backwards sounding. IConversable implies the source of the data can be conversed with, but that seems to imply IQueryable + IQbservable, that is, two way.
I'm very partial to IAsyncQueryable. The public interface for IQbservable is so close to IQueryable, that for 90% of the name to be the same as IObservable belies the fact that the interface is 90% the same as IQueryable (the effect is very different!)
Are there any other ideas floating around the Rx team's heads? Are you guys getting used to saying "Eye-Cubeservable" yet?

All replies
We really do pronounce it in its long IQueryableObservable form. While we do value names, we're keen on getting the semantics right first :-). We're trying to apply http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Wadlers_Law in reverse (a good thing!). This said, every Rx-related discussion topic is welcome on the forum of course, including naming debates.
using (Microsoft.Sql.Cloud.DataProgrammability.Rx) { Signature.Emit("Bart De Smet"); }
Thanks for the reply Bart! I'm always happy to see you and Erik post here, and I think you did a good job explaining IQueryable, for the majority of people who've never touched System.Linq.Expressions, LINQ to SQL and others have been a black box. (And that stuff is really cool, I don't know why it's not more talked about!)
I digress though. As for the name of IQbservable, it's seeming, beginning to seem like Rx may either be finalized and released with a permissive license or included in the BCL in a future release* and while it's still in incubation, people are going to be writing software against it and it just seems, I don't know, difficult to read and it looks so similar to IObservable when I'm writing code. At least with QWERTY I don't need to worry about a typo, but when writing interfaces or methods that touch on either or both, it can quickly become difficult to tell which is which. I'm glad you're open to discussion on the matter and hopefully this post will provoke someone to come up with a particularly good name for what IQbservable should be. For the time being, when testing Rx I'll use a "using" declaration to rename the type to something a little more distinguishable.
* - I know that you guys probably can't make any comment on this.
All posted code is licensed under the Creative Commons CC-BY license unless stated otherwise.
We're still figuring out where and how to ship Rx to the masses, beyond our first release that will be available in the Windows Mobile 7 ROM (that one doesn't contain IQbservable as it was snapped prior to that point and various required APIs may not be available on the device anyway). One advantage of not being tied to any big release at this point is our ability to move fast and explore various segways, so the word "finalized" is quite an understatement for "Rx in the large" (though the core is starting to experience far less churn than it did before).
Concerning the naming debate; feel free to keep it going :-). As you all know, the Rx team is keeping a close eye on the forums.
using (Microsoft.Sql.Cloud.DataProgrammability.Rx) { Signature.Emit("Bart De Smet"); }
My prefs:
- IReactiveQuery
- IReactiveQueryable
- IOQueryable
--Scott W.
If they are going to change the name to anything, it should be to IQueryableObservable. That's exactly what it is! It would be confusing to introduce yet another name into the picture.
It is a real shame IQueryable isn't called IQnumerable or IQueryableEnumerable.
James makes a good point. I bet the FCL team would just use the expanded form. Given that in VS 2010 you can just enter IQO+Tab it's not such a problem that it's long. Furthermore, it's quite rare in the world of LINQ to even see IQueryable at all - it's usually hidden away by a var or within another query; I suspect IQueryableObservable will prove similar in practice.
Edit: Here's another observation: IQueryableObservable is shorter than IConnectableObservable ;)
- Dave
"Here's another observation: IQueryableObservable is shorter than IConnectableObservable ;)"
Haha... you're right!
And I suppose we might need an IGroupedQueryableObservable ;)
*Edit: although apparently not;
public static IQbservable<IGroupedObservable<TKey, TSource>> GroupBy<TSource, TKey>(this IQbservable<TSource> source, Expression<Func<TSource, TKey>> keySelector)
IObservableQuery is a little shorter, and keeps the IO prefix.
IQueryableObservable seems like it's a subtype of IObservable in the same way an IConnectableObservable is a subtype of IObservable. But to call IQueryable a subtype of IEnumerable is tragically wrong, given the wholly different approach and profoundly more powerful mechanism of operation. IQueryable lets you write PLINQ, LINQ to SQL, LINQ to Entity Framework, whatever, IEnumerable doesn't give you something you can tweak, you take it or leave it.
So I think Observable should be the adjective and Query/Queryable the noun: IObservableQuery or IObservableQueryable.
That is if you're going to use the full name.
All posted code is licensed under the Creative Commons CC-BY license unless stated otherwise.
Interfaces denote an "is a" or "supports" relationship. Hence IQueryable is relately okay to be a derived from IEnumerable (well, concerning this particular discussion topic that is) since every such query can be enumerated over to provide its results. Things would be nicer if it reflected its enumerability in the type name. The real only difference lies in the extension methods provided on both interfaces; they only differ in signature following the homo-iconicity discussion. From that perspective, names that are close are... (feel free to fill in the dots).
using (Microsoft.Sql.Cloud.DataProgrammability.Rx) { Signature.Emit("Bart De Smet"); }
I wonder how IQbservable made it through the .Net Framework naming review process. If you watch the very first Rx presentations of Chan9 you will notice that in an early stage a couple of combinators had diffrent names (IMO better ones if you have a background in functional programming) and were changed by the evil "we have to find names and to make it look more Microsoftish ... and maybe ensure this way that the ex-VBlers won't be scared by functional concepts" paradigm. Maybe behind it is the unofficial rule list which contains things like: "APIs must not contain words Map&Reduce because that would look as if we copied Google". :0)
Or maybe the responsible reviewer simply overlooked the Q and thought it would be IObservable :) In that way it was probably a good trick of Bart and the others to bring a stylish name into production.
Although I think that IQbservable does not fit in the overall .Net and Rx naming scheme I am not a fan of drastic API changes after RTM releases .. thus I would vote for sticking with the geeky-name. A least it makes the Rx API less dull. :-).
First off, Bart, Thank you for yet another excellent Channel 9 video. You have a great way of explaining difficult concepts including both the IQObservable and LINQ to Everything videos. Keep them coming.
As for the IQObservable, I have to wonder if including "Query" here is somewhat limiting. With the inclusion of time and action based combinators (Do, Run, BufferWithX, Throttle etc), it appears that we have moved beyond just the ability to query, but offer full programming expressions. Since the interface in essence combines the Observable with the ability to track the expression tree, I wonder if something like IExpressableObservable would make more semantic sense than IQueryableObservable.
I realize we may be too late in the game for such a change, but wanted to throw it out there. We really aren't just talking about query at this point.
http://www.LinqInAction.net - "LINQ In Action", The book is now available. Don't wait for the movie
Hi Jim,
Interesting point of view, but I think query implies without side-effects, whereas expression does not; i.e., Rx hasn't left the realm of queryness yet. :)
The semantic purpose of a query regardless of what constructs it uses is to ask a question of the data source. In the case of Rx, it's an observable data source; e.g., what values are grouped at each X time interval? (BufferWithTime), or what was the last value after the data source has been silent for X time interval? (Throttle).
However, an expression is more general-purpose and may be used to do something. An expression doesn't have to just ask a question of a data source, it can also mutate a data source. Expressions in LINQ can now do things as well as ask things, although notice that the C# compiler can't transform all possible lambda expressions into LINQ expressions as of .NET 4.0, yet IQbservable still works fine without it.
Of course, in C# we can put side-effects anywhere, including in LINQ queries. But that's typically not the best approach to forming a query when it can be avoided.
There is actually a combinator that is meant to explicitly express side-effects in a query: Do. But all other combinators in Rx seem to me to be semantically equivalent to the parts of a query, not an expression. Rx doesn't provide combinators for all possible expressions that you could use to cause side-effects in imperative code; e.g., assignment, or over data that isn't just a lazily-computed sequence of values; e.g., unary operators, remove, clear, etc.
As for Run and Subscribe, they aren't combinators. In terms of duality with IEnumerable, they are like the body of the foreach. Their purpose is to use the results of the query, often to cause side-effects. They are used to define the continuation after the query returns; i.e., what the program does with the answer (values) to the posed question (query).
- Dave

How to Avoid Winter Sports Injuries
Page Content
Focus on footwear, say orthopaedic foot and ankle specialists
ROSEMONT, Ill. (Feb. 24, 2014)
– It's not hard to be impressed with the skills of the Winter Olympic athletes. If you've been inspired to get out and try some winter sports yourself, keep in mind that sometimes the only thing standing between you and a foot or ankle injury is proper footwear.
Start with the right fit in the footwear for your sport. Ski boots, snowboard boots and ice skates should fit snugly but not too tightly, say orthopaedic foot and ankle specialists. When boots and skates are too loose, you run the risk of instability injuries, which could lead to a
. If footwear is too tight, you can develop blisters or frostbite from pressure inside the boot or skate.
What's inside your footwear is also important. Look for non-cotton socks that will keep perspiration away from your feet so they stay dry.
"Today's boots are designed to be warmer, so you don't need multiple layers of socks to insulate your feet," says Scott A. Nemec, DO, an orthopaedic foot and ankle specialist in Petoskey, Mich.
"One set of thin acrylic or merino wool socks should be all you need. In addition, wearing just one pair of socks will reduce the risk of blistering that can come with multiple pairs."
When you're outdoors, make sure your socks stay warm and dry. Frostbite is a serious condition that can develop when your socks are wet and the temperature falls below freezing. If you begin to feel burning or numbness in your toes, get indoors quickly.
Other ways to avoid injury include stretching and maintaining your equipment. "You want to be limber before you go out so you can absorb falls better," advises Nemec. "And if you're skiing or snowboarding, make sure the bindings on your equipment release the way they're supposed to. You should also wear appropriate headgear for your outdoor sport."
Finally, even with the right footwear and proper fit, injuries can happen. Foot or ankle injuries should be evaluated by your primary care doctor or an orthopaedic foot and ankle specialist sooner rather than later. "Many long-term problems can be avoided if patients are treated quickly after an injury," says Nemec. "Sometimes even mild ankle sprains can require rehab to fully recover."
