Buzz over local drone use getting louder
When a small, camera-equipped drone hovered over recent demonstrations near the Galleria, the unmanned aircraft with glowing lights did more than startle some protestors.
The Aug. 31 overflight launched worries about possible government surveillance of two peaceful gatherings of groups supporting, and opposing, U.S. military intervention in Syria. And it raised safety concerns, as the unmanned aircraft flew close to vehicles.
"He had it literally right on top of cars, very low, to where it would affect their vision," said Abeer Patel, who attended the demonstration. "It looked like a helicopter toy, and then I noticed a black camera attached to it.''
A Houston police officer asked the drone operator to quit flying the aircraft so low, Patel said.
It remains unclear who was operating the drone, and the flight appears to have violated FAA flight rules. But the buzz over drones in Houston comes at a crucial time in the future of unmanned aircraft flights in U.S. skies, as regulations are being finalized to determine who can use them, where they can be flown and what they can photograph.
On Sept.1, the Texas Privacy Act became law after Gov. Rick Perry signed legislation prohibiting drone operations over private property without the owner's permission. The new law, which has exceptions for emergency public safety situations, has frustrated Texas law enforcement agencies who already have purchased unmanned aircraft.
Meanwhile, the Federal Aviation Administration is hammering out final flight rules for Unmanned Aerial Systems - the agency's name for drones ranging in size from a Boeing 737 to a model airplane - and expect to implement them next year. At the same time, U.S. Rep. Ted Poe, R-Humble, has filed a proposed federal law he hopes will pass later this fall that keeps government drones from filming private property not in plain view or individuals without first obtaining a court warrant.
"The goal is to protect the right of privacy of citizens in a very evolving, high-technology time," said Poe, a former Houston state district judge who wants to make sure the constitutional protections against illegal searches are preserved. "You can't go fly a drone and trump the Fourth Amendment."
Warrant in 48 hours
Poe's proposed law would not require police to get a warrant in emergency situations, including when there is immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to a person, conspiratorial activities that threaten national security or organized crime operations. But it would require law enforcement to obtain a warrant within 48 hours of the emergency, and justify aerial recordings if they captured individuals.
It also requires law enforcement agencies who have FAA authority to operate a drone to report to the U.S. attorney general how the aircraft will be used, how long it plans to keep surveillance footage, as well as destruction of unneeded images. The proposed law also allows the Justice Department to seek revocation of a law agency's drone license from the FAA if privacy protections are not met.
More Information
Regulating drones
1 Texas Privacy Act: Signed into law by Gov. Rick Perry on June 14, it took effect Sept. 1. It requires operators of unmanned aircraft to get consent from the property owner or occupant before filming them. It allows exceptions to law enforcement in life or death emergencies.
1 Preserving American Privacy Act of 2013: Filed by U.S. Rep. Ted Poe, R-Humble, it would require a court warrant before a government drone can film an individual or private property not in plain view.
1 Federal Aviation Administration: Expected to issue rules in early 2014 on commercial use of small unmanned aircraft.
FAA officials in Washington said that, as of February, 327 public agencies have been authorized to operate unmanned aerial systems for law enforcement for missions including fighting fires, patrolling the Texas-Mexico border, and search and rescue operations.
The Arlington Police Department used $202,000 in federal grant money to buy a pair of Leptron Avengers, single-rotor unmanned helicopters they use to manage traffic accidents on Metroplex highways, as well as mapping large crime scenes. The 11-pound drones, which are almost 5 feet long, can fly for an hour and send images back to police headquarters, said Lt. Christopher Cook.
But the new Texas Privacy Act has concerned police, who say the requirement to get permission of property owners before flying their drone over private property could delay operations.
Cook said the Arlington department's major concern with the new law "is it would restrict our access, because we would be required to contact each property owner before we can deploy the unit."
Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland raised the same concerns in a letter he wrote to Perry in June, urging him to veto the Texas Privacy Act.
"As this technology advances and is more widely utilized by law enforcement, we want to be able to maximize its use and potential to protect the public," McClelland wrote.
However, a Houston police spokeswoman said the department does not have a drone, and had no information on the aircraft reported at the Syrian demonstrations. Despite McClelland's letter to Perry, Houston police have no plans to get a drone.
In Montgomery County
"We do not own, nor operate, an unmanned aircraft of any size," said Jodi Silva, noting Houston police tested a drone in the past. "We have no plans to purchase any in the future, right now."
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office has FAA authority to operate its $240,000, gas-powered Shadowhawk drone, and does not anticipate running afoul of the new Texas law. They plan to use the 7-foot unmanned aircraft for search and rescue and other emergency law operations the bill allows, said Chief Deputy Randy McDaniel.
He is more worried about enforcing violations of illegal surveillance by private drone operators, which result in a Class C misdemeanor charge.
"The enforcement of it is going to be extremely difficult to work within," McDaniel predicts. "You've got to prove up they were using the video or digital image. Are you going to break into your neighbor's home and say 'Give me the video off that drone'? It puts law enforcement right in the middle of it."
Use by civilians
Civilian operation of drones for commercial gain is currently prohibited, but that may change when the new FAA rules are released early next year.
FAA officials say that flight rules for recreational use of drones are the same that apply to model aircraft usage, which means operators cannot fly them recklessly over vehicles, above 400 feet, or near people or structures.
"Typically what we would do is investigate and possibly propose a civil penalty if someone was operating an unmanned aircraft in what's called a reckless and careless fashion," said FAA official Les Dorr, who had not heard of the Houston flight.
The only action by FAA in a drone incident was in April 2012, when the FAA issued a $10,000 civil penalty against a man operating an unmanned glider over the University of Virginia medical center campus in Charlottesville, Va., said Dorr. It was a commercial flight to map the campus, and the FAA cited a dozen violations, including flying under a pedestrian tunnel, under a crane, and 20 feet over cars and pedestrians.
Selling package deal
The new FAA drone rules can't come too soon for those who sell the aircraft, including Steve Klindworth who owns UAVDirect in Liberty Hill, outside of Austin.
His company will sell you a four-bladed "quadcopter,'' similar to the one protesters reported near the Galleria, for $479.95. Add real-time video and viewing goggles for $500, and the operator can fly the drone while seeing whatever is in front of the aircraft-mounted camera.
Klindworth said there are many commercial applications to use drones, and there has been great interest from ranchers, farmers and Realtors who want to use the aircraft to survey property, or even gauge the need to fertilize row crops.
"I feel it's an industry that is being held back by a lack of sensible regulation, otherwise people are just going to go out and do it and you're going to have problems," Klindworth said.

Glam up the dinner table: wrapping a bottle like a sommelier
We're still a month away, but a Valentine's dinner date at home, comes to mind, when I think of wrapping a bottle, restaurant-style. This would also be a lovely addition to a dinner party at home with friends.
It's just one of those things that you can do, that costs absolutely nothing, but elevates your dinner table from standard to fabulous!
My own bottle was free -- a repurposed cider bottle. I use it for filtered water (plain and flavored). A practically free beverage, wrapped in a napkin I already own. Glamour for pennies.
Here's how:
Take a dinner-size square, cloth napkin (between 15 inches and 16 1/2 inches square), and lay it on the angle, like a diamond.
Fold up the bottom corner, to not quite the halfway point on the napkin, if folded on the diagonal.
The napkin should be about 1 inch longer than the bottle is tall.
My best tip would be to roll the bottle up in the napkin as tightly as possible, much like swaddling a baby. Line up the base of the bottle with the folded edge of the napkin. Begin at one side, and roll across the napkin.
Roll the bottle as tightly as you can, almost stretching the napkin as you roll.
The bottle should now be completely rolled in the napkin.
Stand the bottle upright, holding onto the rolled end.
Face the back of the rolled bottle towards you, with the bottle standing up. There should be an outside "point" towards you.
Holding the rolled end securely, gently pull the top, outside point of the napkin down, and fold over the rolled napkin. This is what secures the rolled napkin around the bottle.
Finish peeling the outside point down, then fold the inside point, down and over the outside point.
Turn the bottle around, and your sommelier wrap is complete.
If you have done origami or napkin folds, then wrapping a bottle may feel familiar. Practice a couple of times. It took me a few tries to get it tight enough.
While a wine steward can wrap a bottle with the bottle standing upright, I find it easier to wrap a bottle while its on its side.
If you need to wrap an opened bottle of wine (such as a red wine, to allow to breathe), you can make the wrap on a dummy bottle, carefully slip the wrap off the bottom, then slide up the new bottle. Otherwise, wrap a sealed bottle (such as a chilled bottle of white wine or sparkling cider), or wrap a repurposed empty bottle for water (wrap the bottle, then using a funnel, fill with chilled filtered water).
You may wonder, "what's the point?" A bottle wrap keeps the bottle's contents from dripping on a nice tablecloth, and absorbs condensation from a chilled bottle.
Why I like to wrap the bottle -- I do this with repurposed bottles, used for drinking water (both flavored and plain) on a dinner table. My repurposed bottles are nothing to write home about, and this just adds a bit of glam.

What a great idea! I wonder if I could also use this to wrap a glass for hot coffee? It would keep my hands cool without a handle : )

I have a Ximeta NDAS device, but I can't find a driver for it that's compatible with Windows 10. Where can I download the necessary software?
As far as I can see, there doesn't seem to be a driver for Ximeta NDAS devices that works on Windows 10 and what's even worse is that there probably won't be one. On its support thread, Microsoft's staff acted uninterested about the conflicts between Windows 10 and Ximeta devices stating that it's up to the company to fix them, and Ximeta seems to not exist anymore as its official website is no longer available.
Unfortunately, this means that the only way for you to use your Ximeta NDAS device is to go back to a previous Windows version that you can still find drivers for.

Yellow Pearl
The chances of jagging a day with a clear blue sky in Townsville over the past six months have been slim, very slim indeed. Yet in the middle of the one of the worst tropical wet seasons on record, that delivered one of the worst cyclones also on record, the clouds finally parted early one Saturday morning and Angela Donovan finally wheeled her bike out of the shed for a few photos.
From a cosmetic point of view, apart from a few nuts and bolts, the pearl yellow paint on the tins and gloss black frame are about all that remain of the original stock Fatboy that Angela picked up back in 2006. From a performance point of view, it has been given a few modifications that get the TwinCam-88 producing a hearty torque package along with a tad more horsepower, ideal for the rides around Far North Queensland.
Angela and her husband Leeroy run
Townsville Custom Cycles
on Ingham Road, Townsville and are well known in the region for their service, repairs and performance upgrades.
"We took over the shop in April 2006," Leeroy began. "We thought of building a flagship bike that would highlight our workshop capabilities something we could put in the showroom for a while then eventually sell. At the same time Angela was getting sick of being a pillion behind me so when I asked her what sort of bike she would like, she promptly replied a pearl yellow 'Fatboy' and that's how we ended up with that bike."
While Leeroy tends to the bikes at the shop, Angela fills in her days as a Registered Nurse working as the Clinical Nurse at the Mater Hospital, Cardiac Thoracic Surgery Division (Hearts) in Townsville.
"It's a great bike to ride," Angela added. "Now it's my pride a joy and I'm in no hurry to sell it. There are still a few more things that I'd like to do to it," she smiled.
Leeroy's first introduction to custom bikes was back in the UK when he was seven years old helping his uncle rub-back the tank on his old Sunbeam.
"They were sort of the Pommy's version of a Harley back then," Leeroy recalled. "I was hooked on motorcycles after that. I did my apprenticeship as a mechanic then got involved in drag racing up north and in 1990 I bought my first Fatboy. I loved them at first sight," he added. "Naturally I had to tinker with it to get it running at its best."
"With Angela's Fatboy we wanted to broaden the torque range as it didn't have the torquey snap that we're use to. It also had the annoying habit of farting and popping on deceleration something that most stock Harley's experience around this area," Leeroy explained. "What a lot of people don't realise is that we have quite a diverse range of operating environments here in Far North Queensland from right on sea level here in town to 320 meters above sea level with a far dryer dry atmosphere an hour and a half away in Charters Towers to the west."
"However you notice it even more when you head north towards Cairns, its a great ride and if you care to detour up the Palmerston Highway or head up to Mount Bartle Frere which incidentally is the highest mountain in Queensland at an elevation of 1,622 meters and the atmospheric changes are extreme."
"That's a big ask on any engine to maintain the optimum engine tune through conditions like that", Leeroy continued.
"To counteract the constant changes in the environment we chose the
Thundermax Auto Tune
ignition module," Leeroy revealed. "Firstly because it increases horsepower, torque, and fuel economy, secondly because there is no need to dyno tune the bike and thirdly because it adapts to aftermarket upgrades such as exhaust and intake modifications and cams easily. Basically the Thundermax Auto Tune constantly assesses how the bike is running and makes necessary tuning fine adjustments while the bikes is running."
Nevertheless, probably another important feature is its flexibility later on when minor changes such as high-flow air cleaner, pipes or major changes like cams, heads, pistons, etc are performed to the bike the system will get the engine right in tune with a simple download of a base map from Thundermax's huge library of engine modifications and combinations. Once you load a good base map in, the AutoTune feature will further refine and adjust the map for even better performance and ridability.
As well as the Thundermax Leeroy swapped the standard HD cam for an
Andrews 37H Cam
along with a set of Andrews adjustable pushrods. This hot street cam is designed to broaden the torque range between 2200-5600 RPM while still retaining a smooth idle.
"It's really important to use the adjustable pushrods when you install these type of cams so you get the engine tune spot on," Leeroy explained. "If you've got everything right with the tune it's easily possible to get 80 plus horsepower at the rear wheel, with this set up."
"Basically what we've done to Angela's bike is pretty well our signature 'budget' performance upgrade," Leeroy volunteered. "That includes an oil cooler, high-flow air cleaner, set of performance pipes, the Thundermax Auto Tuner and Andrew's cam. What you end up with is a bike that really performs well through a diverse range of conditions, which is both economical and reliable," Leeroy stated.
"Sure we can do even more to the bike if customers want, but this a good economical starting point," he added.
Now they had the bike cracking down the highway, it was time to give it cracking look and Angela started custom look with neat set of
Performance Machine's (PM)
Heathen wheels with matching brake rotors. She then added a PM billet pulley along with their hub kits and HD front and rear axle covers.
The standard amber turn signals were replaced with smoke lenses and a Kuryakyn low profile smoke LED taillight, which is damn bright. To finish the rear end off a streamlined curved lay-down license plate mount was added.
Angela chose a flamed theme for the derby and timing cover and continued the theme through to include the floorboards, rear foot pegs and handgrips. All the standard cables were replaced with brilliant silver finish diamondback braided cables and
Wind Vest
smoked shield fitted above the huge chrome headlight with the optional trim rim.
Finally getting a functional air-cleaner that matched Angela's theme is a task given to cool looking
Roland Sands
Billet air-cleaner.
"This open element five slot design allows optimum airflow without compromising the bike's style," Leeroy revealed. "They've got a well engineered back plate which is designed to promote smooth airflow in the throttle body and they've neatly hidden the internal crank case breathers as well. The actual element is merely a tried and proven
K&N performance air-filter
Leeroy is first to admit the project has grown into far more than a simple 'budget' performance upgrade bike for his showroom floor as he and Angela had originally planned.
Judging by the wear marks on the bottom of the
Vance & Hines
side shots Angela's not afraid to wind on the wick or lay her 'Yellow Pearl' into a tight corner either.
"It's a truly great bike to ride," Angela concluded. "And, its awesome to get out riding with Leeroy and our friends on the weekends, that's when its not raining, she smiled looking at the sky."

Website Coding Criteria
When establishing a new website or redesigning an previous one particular, you have to have to know that your website is performing as it really should do and that the website code is audio. Internet designers will have quite a few phases of screening when establishing a website to make certain that the several components of the web-site operate as its being made but an additional component of the growth is the coding specifications.
There are several website coding specifications and it is critical to recognize these as your website goes live as it will likely affect the research engine rankings of the web-site. These world wide web coding specifications are not noticable for the duration of growth and also do not necassarily impact the operation of a website so quite a few world wide web designers might not shell out interest to coding specifications.
The two most important website coding specifications are W3C and WAI and these really should be regarded as if research engine rankings are critical to your website. Some website house owners are not intrigued in great research engine placements for several explanations and for that reason coding specifications might not be as critical for that certain undertaking.
Entire world large world wide web consortium (W3C) compliancy
The Entire world Large Internet Consortium (W3C) is the most important intercontinental specifications organisation for the Internet, which is known commonly as W3C. The W3C preserve staff making certain the growth of specifications for the planet large world wide web and the upcoming of the Internet.
W3C compliancy is critical for web-sites needing high research engine placements as it ensures web-sites realize specific high field specifications. In advance of the W3C consortium existed there was code that existed that was not appropriate with several broswers and platforms which rendered several website and world wide web pages in unique techniques so pages never seemed consistant. W3C validation is a way of approving your website and making certain it is in line with core ideas which are supported by website designers all around the planet.
Even though it might not be generally probable to hold your overall web-site W3C appropriate, specially if you have a content administration process in location, additional effort really should be taken to try out and make certain the homepage passes the W3C validation.
Internet accessibility initiative (WAI)
The Internet Accessibility Initiative (WAI), sees accessibility of the Internet through five key locations, technology, recommendations, instruments, education and outreach, and exploration and growth. The WAI appears at the accessibility of web-sites having to pay distinctive interest to disabled users. Sites that are coded nicely so that partially sited users can have world wide web pages virtually browse to them will obtain this normal really helpful.
When commisioning a new website or website redesign get treatment to make certain that your website designers adhere to one particular of these specifications depending on your needs specially if your web-site needs to get great research engine rankings.

Iraq's chronic mismatch between education, employment
Washington - The celebration of many Iraqi university graduates after obtaining their degrees is likely to be dampened by the uncertainty of their career prospects amid a mismatch between the country's labour force and its job market.
The problem begins before their enrolments into universities. Officials are blaming the Iraqi Ministry of Education for failing to adapt to major fundamental shifts in the country's demographic make-up and for what they describe as its "lax policy" in accepting students into colleges.
Iraq has 80 public and private universities. Acceptances, especially into public colleges, are strictly dependent on scores on official exams, known as the Tests of General Secondary Education. Top scorers get to pick their fields, with most of them going into medicine. Second best scorers often choose engineering. Lowest scorers get "the institute," Iraqi jargon for vocational education.
Historically, the state played a dominant role in educating young Iraqis and placing them in jobs. The international embargo that Iraq suffered from 1990-2003, after its invasion of Kuwait, made Iraqis even more dependent on their state.
Despite hyperinflation and the government's dwindling resources, medical students were locked in competition over appointments at state hospitals. The ones with high marks completed their required residency programmes at hospitals of their choice, usually the more prestigious ones in big cities. Medical students with lower marks were assigned to hospitals in the villages and the countryside.
Baghdad appointed top engineers to positions at its oil companies, infrastructure authority or even at its weapons-production facilities. Top scoring students in humanities were accepted to higher education programmes and, once they acquired their PhDs, were appointed professors at state universities. The state bureaucracy and law enforcement agencies absorbed the rest of the labour force.
The over-involvement of the Iraqi state in educating citizens and giving them jobs worked as long as the population was not as urbanised. However, with a population boom and urbanisation, Baghdad was overwhelmed. No resources — oil revenue or otherwise — could sustain the old culture of educating and employing Iraqis. The US Agency for International Development report for 2012 stated: "The government and public sector employs 40% of those employed." The Washington Post reported last year that there were there were 7 million people on the Iraqi public payroll.
Iraqi government agencies seem aware of the problem of its unsustainable public sector. In its "National Development Plan 2013-2017," the Ministry of Planning argued that the country's "transformation to a market economy faced a troubled environment," including a "delay [in] legislation such as the privatisation law." The ministry complained of a failure in the "restructuring of the public sector and public institutions and the absence of the institutional environment supporting the private sector."
Despite acknowledging that the private sector should play a bigger role, the same 2013-17 plan said that it "aimed at attaining the adequate level of economic participation based on… guaranteeing compatibility between workforce supply and demand," an argument that suggests Baghdad believes it has a role in making the education sector and the labour market match.
Governments in free market economies, such as in Germany and the United States, are usually aware of recurring mismatches between the labour force and the job market. New technologies leave the unskilled and semi-skilled behind.
To realise the full potential of workers, governments offer free training programmes to upgrade skills and reintegrate workers. Still, Western governments do not perceive themselves as regulating the labour market, at least not by controlling the supply side, even when giving workers a chance for self-improvement. In free economies, students can go to whatever college that accepts them and major in whatever domain they want, assuming they pass the needed tests.
Transforming Iraq from socialism to a free market requires rehabilitating the Iraqi government from its addiction to oil revenue. Iraqi economist Muhammed Ali Zainy said: "Patronage, made possible by oil, undermines the private sector." Entrepreneurship is not as attractive when Iraqis can make money easier by tapping into government resources.
Iraq is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, ranking 166th out of 176 countries on Transparency International's "Corruption Perceptions Index."
"The only solution comes through uprooting the whole system and replacing it with bureaucrats appointed based on merit, rather than on political or tribal affiliations," Zainy said.
Harith Hasan al-Qarawee, a fellow at the Central European University, blamed the nature of the Iraqi economy. "Iraq is a rentier state with 95% of its budget coming from oil revenue," he said. "While the oil sector itself is not sizeable, its contribution to the GDP is estimated to be as high as 65%."
This dependence continued even after Iraq was no longer a socialist economy, Qarawee said, arguing that the current Iraqi configuration "seems to be independent of ideological differences in political economy." The Iraqi scholar said that dependence on oil was "similar in Baghdad as in Erbil and similar in Baghdad today as it was in Baghdad 30 years ago."
Qarawee concluded: "The irony is that if Iraq was to move from a command economy to a less regulated and market-oriented one, the role of the state will continue to be crucial in 'commanding' such a transition."

Clean Bandit – What Is Love?
By the time Clean Bandit's second album What Is Love? was released in November, nearly half the tracks had already been released as singles in the years leading up to it. Their breakthrough in 2014 led them to higher profile collaborations, which also helped them bag a string of worldwide hits with artists like Sean Paul and Demi Lovato – giving them major airplay throughout 2017 (Rockabye) and 2018 (Solo). Those hits mainly followed the same design as their debut: classical-backed electronic/pop songs with influences from genres like dancehall and latin. What makes this album different is that it is essentially a watered down version of New Eyes. The group's method of incorporating classical music into their music is reduced to barely audible strings that soon take a backseat. By the halfway point, we're left with generic beats and melodies following safely in line with pop music trends. That isn't to say they must restrict themselves to a particular sound, but when sacrificing the qualities that made them stand out in the first place, it would be a benefit to adopt something new to keep them apart from the rest. Instead, we're left with an album that is barely indistinguishable from much of what else radio is playing. And with the standout tracks having already existed as standalone singles for a year or more, that doesn't leave much to discover from the rest of the album.

"Sisters" (姉妹, Shimai, Tonari: 100 + 101) is the 65th chapter of the One-Punch Man manga series.
Part 1Edit
Do-S manages to hit an injured Fubuki multiple times. Believing that she has Fubuki's mind under her control, Do-S approaches Fubuki and tells the hero about her plans to lure Tatsumaki out. Enraged, Fubuki sends Do-S flying back. Before Do-S could get a hold of the situation, Fubuki uses Hell Storm, which slightly injures Do-S. As it turns out Fubuki did not succumb to the monster's mind control. Do-S changes her plans and decides to kill Fubuki instead of using the hero to lure Tatsumaki out. Fubuki tells the monster that her sister would come anyway.
Part 2Edit
Tatsumaki causes an explosion in the city where Do-S and Fubuki are fighting. Do-S realizes the mistake she has made and immediately tries to make an escape plan. A monster falls in front of Do-S asking for help and warns her of Tatsumaki. Tatsumaki finally arrives and immediately tell Fubuki to go home and that she will handle the rest. Do-S orders her love slaves to attack Tatsumaki as a distraction as she escapes. Tatsumaki immobilizes all of the love slaves and tells Fubuki that they will only get in her way and to not call them her allies. She then takes off to find the rest of the monsters.
Bonus PageEdit

I could not find a cause for the conflicting results between filling the list and checking the migration results so I eliminated the difference — the exact same SQL now runs instead of 2 variations based on parameters. The failed migration message should now show the records that failed to migrate. It's hard to test that bit when I can't reproduce the failure so let's hope it gives us enough to work with.
fixcountry-5.0.0-rc.2.gz (11.6 KB)
@gmoskowitz - I'll look at it a little more this weekend too. I suspect there is something in our data that is wonky, and just 'unexpected' in the Updater or fixcountry checks. FWIW, here's the results of my Updater run:
I experienced that same problem when I tried to run the upgrade. In the error message it is reporting a date of "03/10/49" Since that is before the earliest date as defined within xtuple it is where the problem is. My issue was in the vouchering tables where incorrect manual date entries were being added into the database.
The issue was reported in Incident #34354
Jim Wirt
Jim -
How did you identify which transactions (in which tables) had offending dates? I don't know whether to necessarily look through AP, AR, GL, inventory, etc. etc. etc.
Gil sent me the following query. I ran it using a database tool and found about 8 entries with bad dates. I did an sql update of the bad records and then it worked. Here is the query.
SELECT vohead_number, vohead_invcnumber, vohead_duedate, vohead_docdate, vohead_distdateFROM voheadWHERE vohead_docdate < startOfTime() or vohead_docdate > endOfTime();
The results should be 0 rows. However I think you'll find some records.
I think I'm butting up against a wall here.
I ran that query on the voucher file, didn't find anything. There are simply too many tables for me to go browsing around looking for date problems. An error log or something from the conversion program would instantly tell me where to look/fix historical stuff --- but without it, I'm somewhat dead in the water.
Hey Daniel, this is an alpha release, and there are lot of fixes going into beta. That being said, how large is you DB? can you dropbox me a copy?I had connection info on yours several years ago but I cannot locate it, if you want to email me directly, I can test yours when I retest some of my other databases.
That way I could give you heads up on the beta and issues I can find.Tom
Absolutely --- and yeah, I know its beta/alpha stuff. We're testing it on a totally different hardware stack, just kinda getting our "ducks in a row" for 2019 We have some pretty serious ancillary stuff realtime connected to the xTuple database, and if there are big changes to the table structures in XT5, we want to be ready.
I'll see if I can DropBox the database it's beefy, so we might just get you credentials to the test box (it is however walled with distinct IP addresses, so I might need that from you too. Will advise.)
I can work with either one, if it's beefy, I will look at were it's beefy.
Here's a utility script to look for records that might encounter upgrade problems. It looks at more columns than might cause upgrade issues but it's a start. A comment at the top how the script was generated, followed by the queries themselves. Look for results with non-0 counts.
This is not intended to be an end-user solution, just a tool for power users to look for problems.
For example:
SELECT 'cohead_packdate', count(*), min(cohead_packdate), max(cohead_packdate) FROM cohead WHERE cohead_packdate < startOfTime() OR cohead_packdate > endOfTime();
?column? | count | min | max
cohead_packdate | 0 | |
(1 row)
on one of my test databases, which is good.
A different database shows some problems:
?column? | count | min | max
cohead_packdate | 63 | 0100-01-21 | 1909-01-15
(1 row)
63 sales orders were packed well before xTuple was founded, ranging in time from year 100 to 1909. These won't cause upgrade failures but posted dates and order dates might.

Do you find yourself complaining about the food? Are you eating too much fried rice? Have you not been amazed by the range of tastes and cooking styles on offer? Are you not stunned by how cheaply you can get a great, even exceptional meal?
Is your first mistake to be eating breakfast at your hotel? It's 'included', you paid for it already. Why wouldn't you eat it? Because – with some notable exceptions – it's rubbish.
Either it's a safe, sanitised version of one or two local mainstays. Or worse, in a failed attempt to meet a perceived European expectation of breakfast, it's a badly cooked egg, terrible sugary bread, something that is definitely not butter and a very-low-fruit-content jam. And a banana.
Eat the banana.
Myanmar Food Rule No. 1. Don't eat breakfast in your hotel.
Get out on the street – at the best time of day to be on the street – find a good looking teashop or clean looking street stall. Have a cup of tea (tea comes in about 12 strength/milkiness/sugar variations but that's a story for another post). While you're sipping your tea have a look at what is coming out of the kitchen to other tables and have for breakfast something that you see someone else eating and that you like the look of. Tomorrow have something else.
There is so much to choose from that you could easily have a different breakfast everyday for a fortnight. If you end up ordering something you don't like, order something else. You can afford to, teashop breakfasts rarely cost as much as a dollar, including the tea. Street stall ones are even cheaper. See the bottom of this page for my breakfast 'be sure to try' list.
Is your second mistake that you are not being adventurous enough? Are you seeing lots of food that you think you don't like the look of? Or not choosing to eat something because you don't know what it is?
Myanmar Food Rule No 2. You can't say you don't like it until you've had it in your mouth. As the vicar said to the actress.
I say dive right in. There are some horrible looking things that taste great. Soups can look and smell like the river warmed up but taste sublime. There are many great looking but unknown things that taste great. Many times I've eaten something just because I liked the look of it. Or because I'd not seen it before. Sometimes I've not liked it but most times I have.
Of course it's OK to know what you don't like. It's OK to draw a line somewhere. I know for sure that I do not like the super-concentrated fish paste that is used more often than I would like. I rarely like the dip that comes with the raw vegetables in a Burmese restaurant. I rarely need to add more chilli to anything. I've tried that sort of Mongolian barbecue of bits of animal insides on sticks on the street and I don't need to try it again.
Are you worried about getting a dicky tummy (and worse)? Is that causing you to play safe? That makes sense. Two of my lifetime top five food poisoning incidents have happened in Myanmar.
Myanmar Food Rule No. 3 Burmese at lunchtime, 'Chinese' at night.
Burmese food is often prepared early in the day, is often not served hot and can sit around a while. With the exception of places that specifically cater for an evening trade, mainly in larger towns, it's intended for lunchtime eating. I'm cautious around it at night.
'Chinese' food, on the other hand is cooked on the spot and arrives at your table still steaming from the frying pan. Surely that's a reasonable insurance against Delhi belly. (But then have you seen the kitchen? Have a look on the way to the toilet.)
Are you making your own choices about where to eat or are you letting a guide or guidebook decide for you?
Tour guides will often take you to places their company has a financial arrangement with. They will serve tourists all the time. Their food will be toned down to suit that market. You will spend all evening talking to people you spent all day with. So will they. Boring.
Guidebooks, other than in small towns, can never cover everything. Of course most of the places they mention are there on merit and are worth trying. But (unless they are exceptional) why keep going back to them when there are so many other places to try? Maybe you will be disappointed every now and again. At least it will be a disappointment founded in seeking out variety rather than in sticking with the familiar.
Myanmar Food Rule No 4. Get off the beaten track. Go beyond the book.
Strike out on your own. There are thousands of small restaurants cooking up amazing local food at super-cheap prices. Some of the very best (and cheapest) meals I've had have been in very out of the way places at restaurants that on appearances looked unpromising.
Myanmar's regions and nation states have cuisines of their own that should be sampled. Shan food you will more than likely encounter in Mandalay or at Inle Lake. Maybe you will not visit Rakhine but if you see a Rakhine restaurant head straight in. Even if you've just eaten.
If you're at the beach eat the locally caught seafood.
In the mountains avoid seafood.
Why not take advantage of the fact that, again especially in bigger places, the food of many other nations is on offer in Myanmar often much more cheaply than you can get it at home, wherever that is. Food from India. Japan. Thailand. Mexico. Even Germany. And many more.
Finally, are you finding some of the food to be oily? Some if it is oily, sometimes with good reason (it protects against contamination, particularly by insects – see Rule No.3) Get over it. Or eat one of the many dishes that are not oily. Do some restaurants put too much MSG in some of their food? Some do. Eat somewhere else. Is some of the food too spicy for you ? Learn how to ask if a dish is spicy or not; "Da asa de la?" Or eat it anyway and toughen up your tastebuds. Too much garlic? Don't complain about that. It keeps the mosquitos away.
Myanmar Food Rule No. 5 : Stop Complaining About the Food.
Breakfast : be sure to try There are two breakfast times in Myanmar. Super early when it's all about fried dough sticks and sugar or egg parata that offer sustenance to the early riser and then at normal breakfast time things get even more interesting. I'm always happy to see these things on a menu. Or to be able to ask for them if there is no menu.
Chaw – simply fried things. Vegetables in a tempura style batter. With a garlic dip – normally Beik Achin (from Myeik).
Mo Hin Nga – a noodle soup that comes with a choice of additives – crispy bean things cut up, a duck egg, both.
(Mandalay) Nan Gyi Touq – big fat noodles in a 'salad' with chicken bits and other exciting stuff.
(Rakhine) Moun Tee – similar to the above, but not the same. A thinner noodle for starters.
T'min Chaw (Che U Nay) – fried rice (with a fried egg), maybe some beans and a small side salad.
Aloo Loun Chaw – fried potato balls. If you see them, eat them. Especially at Shwe Weh Tun on 37 Street in Yangon (these small ones with a tamarind dip) or at Number 1 in Myeik (big ones with chicken inside).
Ka Gyi Ka if you're down south in Tanintaryi near the sea. Pin Lay Sar Nay means with seafood (prawns or even better squid).
Sa Mu Sa Touq – samosa chopped up in a broth with potato and herbs.
Shan Kauq Sway – Shan style noodles, with or without soup.
See Chet – Noodles fried with garlic. With chicken. Or pork. Or not.
And a footnote : Mandalay has the best food. These rules apply there more than anywhere. Check out Min Tee Ha on 19 Street. Everything they serve is great but their Mandalay T'min Poun – gently fried rice with garlic, herbs, nuts and a variety of meats is wonderful.

Plaid Cymru Leader Adam Price has written to First Minister Carwyn Jones following his confirmation in the Senedd yesterday that AMs will get a meaningful vote on the Prime Minister's Withdrawal Agreement, which will be held before the vote in Westminster.
Mr Jones said that the motion would consider 'the need for there to be options on the table that do not exclude any option'.
Plaid Cymru's concerns were reinforced after the First Minster's comments to the BBC today saying that the motion will seek to attract the "broadest support possible" and will include reference to "all options being on the table".
In a letter to the First Minister, Plaid leader Adam Price expressed his concern that a neutral motion will be presented setting out options rather than offering a clear Welsh Government position.
Mr Price argues that the people of Wales have a right to know where their government stands on the most momentous issues of the day and that Welsh Government has a duty to make its voice heard.
Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price AM's letter says:
"The ambiguous and equivocal nature of these words have left me concerned that the Welsh Government will once again simply put forward a neutral motion, noting the options that are available without taking a clear position.
"The Welsh Government should clearly state its position on three principle issues.
"First of all, whether you remain in favour of Wales and the whole of the UK remaining inside the EU Single Market and Customs Union.
"Secondly, the Welsh Government should state whether it believes that Article 50 should be extended.
"Thirdly, there is the question of a People's Vote. The public have a right to know whether your government proactively and explicitly supports this particular proposition.
"Bland statements simply listing the options are available will no longer suffice. Governments are not elected in order to be dispassionate spectators of historical events, they are meant to be active participants in shaping them.
"It is time for Welsh Government to offer clarity by taking a clear political position on the most momentous issues of our time."

If you are like me and you are looking for a way to save a dollar or two, a great way to do it is by doing some DIY. Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing some DIY tips that I love.
The first in this series is a DIY facial! For just $13 (CAD) you can give yourself a facial that will have you feeling like you just walked out of a spa.
Tea Tree Oil is a therapeutic oil has antiseptic, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties- This means that is can be especially useful for those with acne prone skin.
This treatment will open up your pores and help to get rid of any impurities and acne causing bacteria.
You will need:
Tea Tree Essential Oil
Large Bowl
Hot Water
Step 1: Cleanse
Cleanse your skin with any cleaner that you have
** This is an important step because when you begin to steam, it will open up your pores. Anything on your face including makeup can get into your pores and clog it leading to pimples and further irritation. **
Step 2: Steam
-Bring a pot of water to boil
-Pour hot water in a large bowl
-Add about 3 drops of your Tea Tree Essential Oil
– Hold your face over the water and cover your head with a towel
– Hold for about 10 minutes (you may give yourself a break from the steam every 2 minutes)
Step 3: Purify
– Smooth a Mask (of your choice) over your face
-Let the mask sit for 15 minutes
-Rinse with warm water
** After the steam treatment your pores are open- the mask will help to pull out any dirt and impurities from your pores**
Step 4: Tone
– Apply toner
** This will help to close the pores so that dirt and impurities don't get into your pores.**
Step 5: Moisturize
– Apply moisturizer all over face to keep your face hydrated
Note: This post has affiliate links, should any purchase be made, Azarya Life& Style gets compensated.
Have you guys tried this before? What do you think? If you haven't try it and let me know what you think.
Thats all for today folks.. Remain Blessed ?

This wedding sneak peek is a real joy to share. Samrawit and David are a wonderful couple and it was an honor to document their wedding. Let me tell you a little bit about this pair. The Bride, Samrawit, is one of the most joyful and happy people I have ever met! This wonderful lady's smile and spirit fill every room she enters with light. It is no wonder that David wants to spend every moment of his life with her. Her zest for life, love of family and friends, and kind spirit are infectious! David is probably the kindest, most thoughtful groom I've seen in a long time. Here is a man who will do anything for his wife. Case in point: with every set of clients I meet with them a month before the wedding to go over the timeline and walk through their venues. When I met with David and Samrawit they told me about some grand plans to decorate their reception venue that (quite honestly) was hard for me to image. But on the day of the wedding I was totally blown away by the expert care that went into turning an average event hall into something really special. So much of that work and planning was done by David as a surprise for his new wife. He even built a really fantastic arch that decorated the door for their grand entrance. Beyond the decorations, I have seen David look out for Samrawit and treated her with deep love in every way. They have a very special bonk, one truly worth celebrating!
Here are a few of my favorite photos from their wedding day. I wanted to share my thanks again to the happy couple for their trust in me to capture these precious memories and so much more. May God bless your union now, and for all time.

Echinacea 'Hot Papaya'
Echinacea 'Hot Papaya' (PP#21022) is one of the best double coneflowers on the market with awesome light orange petals surrounding a fully double orange-red center. It is nicely fragrant and the flowers are held on nice sturdy 30 to 36" stems.
These field grown Echinaea are best transplanted after your soil has dried out and warmed up in the spring. Water once, lightly, upon planting then allow them to stay on the dry side until they have fully emerged, and you may not actually have to water them again.
|Height: 30 - 36"
|Spacing: 15 - 18" apart
|Light: Full sun to part sun
|Soil: Average to loamy, dry and well-draining
|Bloom Time: Summer
|Zones: 3 - 8

Plastic pollution — the accumulation of plastic objects and particles in the Earth's environment — is a global problem that is devastating marine life and other ecosystems.
Humans are using more plastic than ever before and a depressing amount tends to end up in our oceans, on our beaches and even inside our bodies.
The reasons for this are the same ones that have made plastic so popular in the first place: It's durable and extremely difficult to break down.
In a bid to save the turtles, loads of people have already started to reduce their plastic consumption and businesses are starting to follow suit.
You've probably noticed that your favourite cafe uses paper straws in their drinks, while the supermarket you shop at is promoting their durable, plastic-free shopping bags.
Nude Food
In most instances, environmentally and organic products cost more money and are marketed to a wealthier demographic.
Pick n Pay is trying to change that. By removing the unnecessary plastic packaging (including stickers on fruit), Pick n Pay are able to save packaging costs, and they're passing on those savings to the consumer.
Last month, the retail giant announced that it would be including 12 seasonal fruit and vegetables to its loose produce selection, allowing customers to save money and the planet at the same time.
Business Insider compared some of the prices of Pick n Pay's unpackaged produce to their packaged produce and the findings were surprising.
|Green and red chillies (1 kg)
|Green beans (350 g)
|Brown and Portabellini mushrooms (1 kg)
|Palermo peppers (1 kg)
Pick n Pay's new plastic and packaging-free produce walls are currently on trial at the following stores: Claremont, Gardens, Faerie Glen Hyper, Bedfordview, Benmore, Waterfront, Kenilworth, Pinelands Hyper, Durban North, Longbeach Mall, Glen Garry, Nicol and Constantia.
This growing trend of unpackaged food is the entire business model of Nude Food, a Cape Town-based grocery store.
Alternate options include The Refillery, the plastic-free planet-friendly grocery store, or Shop Zero, the zero waste, plastic-free lifestyle store.

Eggplant Dip or Baba Ganoush is a fairly easy dip to make and as this recipe can be made two days ahead and is vegetarian, it has a lot going for it. The gluten content wasn't something we considered back in the 80s when this recipe was printed, and slices of bread have been used to thicken it. If that's a problem for you, you could substitute GF tahini for the bread.
Tag Archives: garlic
You can see from the typing that this is an old recipe. I used to make it back in the 70s and 80s and serve it as an entree with thin slices of toast. It was cheap and easy to make – ideal. I rediscovered it this year and now make it to have with drinks. It freezes well so I just put out what I need and keep the rest for later. If you don't want to do that you can easily halve the recipe.

What is Botox?
Botox injections can be sued to treat a wide range of cosmetic and medical concerns. Medically, Botox can be used to treat chronic migraines, eye spasms, excessive sweating, and muscular disorders. Cosmetically, Botox can be used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox treatment should only be performed by a highly trained professional.
What should I expect from Botox?
A Botox treatment usually takes about 10 minutes. Our botox treatment will be performed by Dr. Paul Willis MD, FACEP., or one of our highly trained physicians. Dr. Willis has over 20 years of experience in traditional medicine and understanding how the body works and heals which makes him uniquely qualified to perform a wide range of cosmetic treatments. In the cosmetic sense, Botox will dramatically improve the appearance of wrinkles or fine lines by essentially freezing the face. Botox is a minimally invasive treatment that can improve wrinkles around the neck, forehead, eyes, and mouth.
Is Botox right for me?

Russia Launching Probe to Sample Mars' Moon Phobos Today• Space
Russia is set to launch a robotic spacecraft to the Mars moon Phobos today (Nov. 8), marking the nation's first attempt at an interplanetary mission in 15 years.
The Phobos-Grunt mission is slated to blast off from Kazakhstan's Baikonur cosmodrome at 3:16 p.m. EST today (2016 GMT; 12:16 a.m. local time on Nov. 9). The main goal is to grab some dirt from Phobos' surface and return the samples to Earth in 2014 ("grunt" means "soil" in Russian).

If you choose to finance your new Ford, once your last monthly payment is complete and you've met all the lender requirements you officially own the car. Some of these obligations may include putting a minimum down payment toward your initial payment and fulfilling your monthly payments punctually. If you fail to meet the lender agreement terms as stated in your contract, you may be subject to a repossession. Speak with our finance team regarding agreement terms if you are buying a car in or out of state. If you are considering customizing your car, or perhaps you know you'll drive a lot of miles, buying a car may be a great choice.
Cost Up-Front
The bank you are financing with will most likely require you make a down payment, although if you have a trade-in vehicle, you could always apply your trade-in value toward the equity of your next vehicle. Your credit score is ultimately what determines the down payment amount required, but either way, we encourage you to discuss with our friendly staff all of your cost up-front options.
Future Value of My Vehicle
You'll know the future worth of your vehicle by how well you take care of it. First, you'll want to consider your vehicle's depreciation value, and second, you'll want to keep your vehicle operating at its optimal level of performance. These two factors determine how much you will be able to sell your vehicle for in the future. We recommend always keeping your powertrain healthy by scheduling your routine maintenance at your local Preston Ford Service Center.
End of My Payments
At the time of your last payment per your contract, you'll possess 100 percent ownership of your vehicle. This completes the car buying process and your lending institution will send your Lien Release as proof of your purchase. Once this is complete, you'll obtain complete ownership of your new Ford car, truck, or SUV model.
Leasing a Car
Simply put, when you lease a Ford car, truck, or SUV model you do not actually own the vehicle. Although you do hold the car in your possession, it is important to note that you are basically renting this car and must essentially keep it running like it just came off the production line. Any payment you make toward your lease does not actually go toward the vehicle itself, rather it goes toward the use of the vehicle. The actual owner of the vehicle you are leasing is the financing institution in which your contract is through. When you sign a lease agreement, it is probable that your monthly payment will be less than if you were to finance. If you don't typically drive a ton of miles, and you love all the latest technologies, leasing may be an excellent way for you to experience the advantages of a brand new car at a rate that better suits your lifestyle.
Cost Up-Front
At the beginning of a lease agreement, you'll most likely be required to put down a variable security deposit, the first months' payment, an acquisition fee, plus any fees or taxes on the leased vehicle. To achieve lower monthly Ford lease payments, you can simply pay more upfront when signing your lease agreement.
Future Value of My Vehicle
Remember that since you do not own the vehicle you are leasing, you are not able to sell it for a cash value. It is essential to maintain the optimal health of your vehicle and strictly follow the wear-and-tear guidelines and mileage limits throughout the duration of your lease term as stated within your lease agreement. The last thing you'll want to do is pay additional fees at the time of your lease-end, so be sure not to exceed the terms stated in your contract. In most cases, the financing institution continues to own the leased vehicle, although you do have the option to in return finance the vehicle you were leasing.
End of My Payments
You'll have three options at the time of your lease-end. Once you have made your final payment, you can either hand over the keys to your local Ford dealership, shop to lease or finance a new Ford model, or as stated prior, buy the car you have been leasing. It is our pleasure to assist you in returning your lease, so speak with our team about which option is ideal for your driving life.

Lucy-1 year
This little is another in my life that can make me laugh endlessly. Just being around this sweet and oh so funny girl makes you happy to be alive. Her middle name (Joyce) is after my husband's grandmother who was, without a doubt, the kindest and purest soul I have ever met. I am so pleased to see that same sweetness coming out in Lucy. I hope she will continue to learn about her great-grandmother and emulate the many wonderful qualities she had.

The Christensens
Plain and simple, these are good people. I don't think I can ever thank Savannah enough for how she opened her arms to me when we first moved into the neighborhood. She is one of the sweetest, most genuine people I know. Thank you for letting me take these for your beautiful family!

Measuring Enterprise
We measured the proactivity of the newsroom, its willingness to seek out answers to the public's questions rather than simply react to events or others' agendas
In the aftermath of the U.S.-led war in Iraq, San Francisco Chronicle reporter Robert Collier, who apparently disdains taking dictation from military authorities, ventured out on his own. He scrambled through the debris left by American bombs to see if he could find anything interesting to write about.
He did, repeatedly. In one story in our sample, on April 21, Collier dissected Iraq's spy agency. On his own, he entered the partially collapsed headquarters of the Mukhabarat, Saddam Hussein's intelligence service. He sifted through thousands of scraps of paper describing bugs placed in the U.S. embassy before the first Gulf War, and spy missions to Pakistan, Russia, France, Zimbabwe, Iran, China, Malaysia, Japan, Britain, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Sudan and Germany. It was a quick investigation, to be sure, but one that put some flesh on the kinds of skeletal and formulaic post-war stories that many foreign correspondents were banging out "over there."
Say what you like about the Chronicle's war coverage, but don't call it purely reactive. The paper sent Mr. Collier, staff writers John Koopman and Anna Badkhen, and several free-lance writers to Iraq to look for new angles on the conflict. They often succeeded in showing the effects of the war and its aftermath in startling and unique detail.
Not every news organization in the Bay Area shined during the war. Most television stations merely ran repackaged network feeds they quickly disassembled, reassembled and then narrated, with little or no independent reporting. On occasion they attempted to make it appear as if a reporter was working for them. But every time we saw television journalists identify themselves on air as representatives of Bay Area stations, they turned out to be correspondents working for the networks or sister stations instead.
For many stations, the war represented a temptation to go for the most recent news, live if possible, without much effort to dig deeper and seek out a bigger story. Issue-based stories initiated by journalists themselves, either "enterprise" reporting or the more time-intensive genre of investigative reporting, help readers and viewers make sense of the world by presenting a story that's more than just the snapshot of the events of the last 24 hours.
Enterprise Index
How the measure was constructed
We analyzed only stories produced by local news organizations, passing over stories provided by networks or wire services. We divided stories into categories based on how much initiative the newsroom showed.
At the passive end, we classified information typically learned from press releases or listening to the emergency "scanner" radio. In newsrooms this is called "spot" news — coverage of events occurring during the last 24 hours that are typically terse and focused on the basic elements of an event. While valuable, such reporting sometimes lets people outside the newsroom set the news agenda, those with deep enough pockets to arrange events.
At the active end, we identified enterprise reports — coverage decided upon in the newsroom. It usually takes a longer view than the past news cycle and often offers perspectives that are unique in the region.
No type of enterprise reporting demands more newsroom
resources than the investigative story. Because the watchdog function
of journalism is so important, time or space spent on investigative
reports is weighted by a factor of 4. In other words, a three-minute
investigative story is treated as if it lasted 12 minutes.

We return three howler monkeys to freedom in the forest.
On 19 July our team at the Refuge in Nosara, Costa Rica, released three adult howler monkeys who had undergone several months' rehabilitation. Charlotte and Iggy had both been attacked by dogs and Star had been electrocuted.
As all three monkeys were found in heavily populated areas that are dangerous for wildlife, we relocated them to a more suitable area where human development cannot harm them.
All three were very calm during their journey to freedom, but once the car stopped and they could smell the trees and the stream nearby, they made it plain that they were eager to get out of their kennels! All three of them made a grunting sound as they were released. This is a gentle warning to "stay back or I'll get aggressive."
Immediately after they were released, Charlotte and Star ran to each other and stayed close together during the entire time they were being watched. Iggy, being the male of the group, kept a distance so he could watch over his ladies. All of them stayed very close to the release site and lay down in the branches looking incredibly relaxed and happy to be back in the forest where they belong.
IAR CEO Alan Knight said: "Congratulations to the Refuge team on the successful rehabilitation and release of these three monkeys. Our aim is always to release animals back into the wild wherever possible and we're delighted that Charlotte, Iggy and Star are free once more and safely back in their natural habitat. Thanks to the medical team, their injuries have healed beautifully and they are fit and healthy enough to fend for themselves once more."
There has been an increase in dog attacks in recent months. This is because deforestation and development have forced arboreal wildlife to cross roads and properties on the ground to reach their habitat. Charlotte sustained several deep bite punctures and a broken shoulder when she was attacked.
The dogs that attacked her were not strays, they were pets that followed their instincts to chase prey. The Refuge team recommends that local residents keep their pets in an enclosed area and move them into the house when monkeys are around the property. Fortunately, in Charlotte's case, the dogs were small so the bite wounds weren't too deep and they healed relatively quickly.
Charlotte was prescribed "cage-rest" to help the fracture in her shoulder heal. Once the fracture had mended, Charlotte was moved to an outside enclosure where she could practise climbing and regain her strength. It wasn't long before she was joined by Iggy. Iggy was at the Refuge for several months. He was attacked by a large dog and his recovery took longer than expected because the deep bites on his hip became infected.
Bites from dogs become infected very easily due to the high concentration of bacteria in canine saliva and even with antibiotic injections, Iggy's wound became very infected and needed to be drained of pus every day. Once his wounds had healed completely, Iggy joined Charlotte in a large outdoor enclosure so that he could stretch his legs and start moving around properly again.
From day one Iggy was very relaxed around Charlotte and loved the new enclosure. He could be found lying around and munching on leaves each day, really enjoying the fresh air and sunshine after so long in the clinic. Charlotte and Iggy had almost matching wounds as dogs tend to attack in the same manner each time.
Bites are usually found on the lower back from when the monkey is trying to run away and then on the neck from where the dog attempts to kill the monkey. Both Iggy and Charlotte now have matching scars in these areas. A few weeks later Star joined them. She had been badly electrocuted in Playa Guiones when she climbed onto high voltage, uninsulated power lines on the main road.
Deforestation and road improvements have led to many natural tree crossings being destroyed. Although we did install a rope bridge near the location where Star was injured, she found her way onto an uninsulated power line trying to find her way across. With the help of the local electrical company, ICE, and the company that is improving the roads, MOPT, we will be installing more rope bridges to help arboreal wildlife cross the roads safely.
Star was treated with pain-medication, antibiotics and soothing burn cream and she quickly started to feel better. The moment her burns had healed and new skin had formed, she was moved into the outside enclosure with Charlotte and Iggy.
Star became best friends with Charlotte and they could always be found inside the enclosure snuggling together. Once the team saw how well they got along, everyone agreed that they had to be released together.

BARCELONA, Spain -- The theme of the opening week of Formula One's preseason continued on Friday as Mercedes put down another ominous marker with a record-breaking quickest time.
Valtteri Bottas' best effort was a 1:15.732, the quickest lap to have ever been set in a test at the Circuit de Catalunya and just 0.4s off the pole position time at the same circuit for last year's Spanish Grand Prix. With next week's three-day test likely to be when the teams start really pushing to find the limits of performance and with teams expecting record-breaking lap times in 2020, that benchmark looks set to keep coming down.
Bottas and six-time world champion Lewis Hamilton split duties either side of lunch, completing 138 laps between them. Mercedes has grabbed headlines this week for its innovative dual-axis steering system (DAS) and completed the first test looking like the firm favourite for the new season.
The reigning world champions are looking for a record seventh consecutive title this year and won five of the final six races in 2019 --nothing so far has suggested the German manufacturer's form will ease this year.
There are three more days of testing to come next week at the same location, starting on Feb. 26.
Ferrari has been cautious not to raise expectations this year after leaving last year's preseason as the favourite for the title, only to win just three races across the year. Sebastian Vettel's day in the car was hampered by an engine failure in the morning, which cost the Italian team two hours before lunch, although an engine change allowed him to return to the track and finish the day with 100 laps.
Ferrari has clearly not been focusing on outright pace at the moment, evidenced by Vettel's long stints and the fact his quickest time was a full 2.6 seconds slower than Bottas' best.
Red Bull, the only other team capable of mounting a title challenge this year, favoured a similar approach and enjoyed another productive day. Max Verstappen and Alex Albon combined to complete a combined 169 laps either side of lunch. Red Bull has done little to reveal its true performance ahead of the new season.
Beyond Vettel's engine issue, there were three other major stoppages. Haas driver Kevin Magnussen saw his day end prematurely just four laps into his afternoon stint after losing control of the car at Turn 8 when a wheel spacer broke the left rear rim. Haas is already hoping to solve the problems that plagued its 2019 car during this preseason, meaning the loss of track time will be a bitter blow to the American team.
Another red flag was caused by Daniel Ricciardo's Renault, when it broke down late in the afternoon, although he made it back out on track before the end of the day. Ricciardo also spun, but neither of those issues stopped Renault completing its most productive day of the week so far -- Ricciardo added 93 laps to the 76 completed by Esteban Ocon in the morning. After two days with much less running than its rivals, this was a much-needed morale boost for the Renault team.
Nicholas Latifi caused the other red flag, with his Williams breaking down at the end of the pit lane during the morning session. The Canadian rookie returned to the track in the afternoon and finished with 72 laps to his name.
Final classification:
1. Valtteri Bottas - Mercedes - 1:15.732 - 65 laps
2. Lewis Hamilton - Mercedes - +0.784s - 72 laps
3. Esteban Ocon - Renault - +1.370s - 76 laps
4. Lance Stroll - Racing Point - +1.606s - 116 laps
5. Daniil Kvyat - Alpha Tauri - +1.695s - 62 laps
6. Antonio Giovinazzi - Alfa Romeo - +1.737 - 152 laps
7. Daniel Ricciardo - Renault - +1.842 - 93 laps
8. Max Verstappen - Red Bull - +1.904s - 86 laps
9. Pierre Gasly - Alpha Tauri - +2.051s - 59 laps
10. Alex Albon - Red Bull - +2.422s - 83 laps
11. Carlos Sainz - McLaren - +2.542s - 76 laps
12. Romain Grosjean - Haas - +2.648s - 48 laps
13. Sebastian Vettel - Ferrari - +2.652s - 100 laps
14. Lando Norris - McLaren - +2.722 - 49 laps
15. Nicholas Latifi - Williams - +3.272s - 72 laps
16. Kevin Magnussen - Haas - +3.977s - 4 laps

I am a freshman right now, and I have this great English professor. He is a real smart man, and I know that he would write a great LOR for me. Would it be too early for me to ask him to write a LOR for me? I would ask him now because I think if I wait until I'm a soph/junior to ask him, though he would probably still remember me, I'm afraid that the letter wouldn't be as effective as it would be if he were to write it now. Also I'm afraid that he won't remember how I was in class, or my personality. You know, little stuff like that. So should I ask him to write it for me now? Even though I wouldn't submit it for another three years! If anyone has done this, or knows anyone that's done this, please let me know. Thanks!

Has been more than outstanding, and more than I needed. The app works flawlessly for me to import orders to my store from external sides. Could not be happier with its functionality and reliability. It takes a few tries to get the imports to be correct and match up. But it is smooth sailing from there.

Used this app to port over 8 years worth of sales records — after some trial and error with their robust import option set (and EXCELLENT support from the team at Highview Apps) we were able to achieve a perfect port of all past records into our shopify store.
Great work, Highview Apps!
I used this app to import over a thousand orders from Magento. It worked as described. No issues. Saved a ton of time.

Take a look in research for the Sieges, one of these is called a Bugle Call. This calls Cavalry right to the middle of the battle. When this Siege weapon is upgraded it can be improved to drop Tanks to do damage against defences. Use walls to slow these down as they will only attack defences until they're all cleared!
Troops are dropped inside my walls! What's happening?
