The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently published new draft guidance for FDA staff regarding Sec. 100.250 Food Facility Registration – Human and Animal Food. This FDA guidance, though not final, serves as a reminder to industry of the consequences of not meeting FDA Food Facility Registration Renewal deadline in the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
FSMA, passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Obama in 2011, grants the FDA new enforcement powers and imposes new requirements on manufacturers, processors, packers and distributors of foods and beverages. One of the new FDA FSMA requirements is the renewal of food facility registrations, now required every even numbered year starting 2012 (i.e. 2012, 2014, 2016, etc).
Originally, section 415 of the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) simply stated " owners, operators, or agents in charge of domestic and foreign facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for human or animal consumption in the United States are required to register their facilities with FDA, unless an exception applies (see 21 CFR 1.226 and 1.227)." As a result, food facilities had to register only once. Now, after the passage of FSMA, food facilities are required to renew their FDA registration biennially.
Companies have from October 1-December 31 of every even numbered year to renew their food facility registration. Last year, FDA exercised enforcement discretion with food facility registration renewals, granting companies until January 31, 2013. As such, companies that were required to renew their food facility registrations under FSMA and did not do so by January 31, 2013, must re-register.
FDA's new Guidance for FDA Staff document states that companies that failed to renew their food facility registration within the appropriate timeframe have "committed a prohibited act under section 301 (dd) of the FD&C Act." Re-register your FDA Food Facility Registration now. FSMA also grants FDA the authority to suspend a company's food facility registration under certain circumstances.
Registrar Corp is a FDA regulatory compliance firm that assists companies with their Food Facility Registrations, Renewals, and U.S. Agent requirements. As part of its U.S. Agent service, Registrar Corp's Food Safety Department will perform a Mock FDA Inspection of your facility at no additional charge, other than travel expenses, once FDA has specified a date for the inspection. Registrar Corp also provides Mock FDA Inspections for food facilities that have not designated Registrar Corp as their U.S. Agent or are located in the United States. For such food facilities, Registrar Corp provides the Mock FDA Inspection for a fee.
As part of the Mock FDA Inspection, Registrar Corp will dispatch a food safety expert from the United States to help the company prepare, so that the company knows what to expect when FDA arrives. The Mock FDA Inspection will cover the structure, processes, procedures and documentation used in daily production including (but not limited to) Hazard Analysis (HACCP), Food Defense Plan, GMPs, Food Labeling requirements, etc.
For more information about the Food Safety Modernization Act or any U.S. FDA regulation, please contact Registrar Corp 24/7 at https://www.registrarcorp.com/livehelp or phone Registrar Corp: +1-757-244-0177.

Custom R Components – Weight of Evidence coding and scorecard builder application
This application provides an analysis of exploratory type, used to determine which variables in the dataset have a predictive power over the dependent variable (target).
It has been a very popular method in scorecard development – for credit risk within the banking sector, but in the recent years it has received increased attention in other sectors, as well.
We suggest installing the RStudio Integrated Development Environment (IDE), as it is the most popular interface for R.
You can, then, simply install the following libraries through RStudio:
data.table (available on cran)
To install the package use the following command: install.packages("data.table")
devtools (available on cran)
To install the package use the following command: install.packages("devtools")
woe ( available on Github)
To install the package use the following command: install_github("woe","barbuirina19")
If you need assistance configuring R in SAP PA Expert Analytics, refer to the following guide.
How to upload the component in SAP PA
You can download the component as a .spar file Github and then deploy it as described here.
Simply import the component by clicking the + button under models tab:
The users can set the following parameters:
We can use the Insurance_training dataset, which can be found here.
This table contains data on the customers of insurance company (demographics : age, gender, children, profession and more specific: type of car, annual km, years since license, etc.)
The goal is to analyze the past accident claims and get a deeper understanding over the main characteristics of a risky client. The scorecard that gets generated can be, then, pushed into a database and used to generate risk scores for the new insurance applicants.
In the Predict tab, simply drag and drop the new component, right click on it, and Configure Settings:
After successfully running the analysis, you can explore :
1. Scorecard table
2. Variable importance chart
3. Weight of evidence charts
1. Scorecard table
2. Variable importance chart
3. Weight of evidence charts
Please note it is mandatory that the target variable be binary and numerical. The application will not translate categorical variables into the appropriate format (e.g. "Yes/No" response variable into numerical "1/0").
In case the target is not numerical, simply use a formula (under Data Preparation) and do the necessary changes before running the analysis.
In case the target is not binary (more than 2 values), then use a formula to create dummy variables and then run the analysis using each one of the new variables as target.

Installing System Center Configuration Manager 1610 (Current Branch) on Windows Server 2016 with SQL Server 2016. PART 2
Thanks to the previous part, we have SQL Server 2016 installed and configured. Before running the SCCM installation process, let's remember the architecture we are implementing:
Before installing SCCM, you'll need to satisfy certain prerequisites. The first step, create the system management container. Configuration Manager does not automatically create the System Management container in Active Directory Domain Services when the schema is extended. If the computer account does not have access to the System Management container, then it will not be able to publish any data to Active Directory. So it is definitely a good idea to give your new ConfigMgr server full control to the system management container.
Open ADSI Edit (or AD Users and Computers) and right click on CN=System and choose New Object:
Enter the name System Management and click Next.
Add the SCCM computer object
Delegate control to the SCCM site server to the newly created container
Create a custom task to delegate and choose "This folder, existing objects in this folder and creation of new objects in this folder"
Select all permissions and complete the wizard.
The second step, extend the Schema. From your domain controller, mount the SCCM ISO and navigate to \SMSSetup\Bin\x64\ folder. Ensure the account used is a member of the Schema Admins group. Right click the Extadsch.exe and select "Run as Administrator".
You can check if the AD schema is extended. Open the ExtADSch log file and check for the entry "Successfully extended the Active Directory schema".
The third step, install site server prerequisites. On your SCCM server, select the following roles and features:
- Remote Differential Compression
- .Net Framework 3.5
- .Net Framework 4.5
- IIS Components
Verify the IIS components are installed:
Common HTTP Features
- Static Content
- Default Document
- Directory Browsing
- HTTP Errors
- HTTP Redirection
Application Development
- .NET Extensibility
- ISAPI Extensions
- ISAPI Filters
Health and Diagnostics
- HTTP logging
- Logging tools
- Request Monitor
- Tracing
- Basic Authentication
- Windows Authentication
- URL Authorization
- Request Filtering
- IP and Domain Restrictions
- Static Content Compression
Management Tools
- IIS Management Console
- IIS Management Scripts and Tools
- Management Service
- IIS 6 Management Compatibility
- IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility
- IIS 6 WMI Compatibility
- IIS 6 Scripting Tools
- IIS 6 Management Console
You can easily check Windows features with PowerShell:
PS > Get-WindowsFeature | ? {$_.Installed –eq $True}
The fourth step, Download and install Windows ADK 10. SCCM will check if USMT, Windows PE, and Deployment tools are installed.
So download ADK here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=526740 and install it.
Select the default path
The only required components are:
- Deployment Tools,
- Windows PE,
- and USMT.
But you can, of course, select other components to suit your needs. Here I also select ICD and Configuration Designer. Next, click Install.
Fifth step, installing WSUS. This step is only required if you want to install the Software Update Point (SUP) role on your primary site server. Add the WSUS role from the "Add roles and features" wizard.
|StarWind HyperConverged Appliance is a turnkey, entirely software-defined hyperconverged platform purpose-built for intensive virtualization workloads. Bringing the desired performance and reducing downtime, the solution can be deployed by organizations with limited budgets and IT team resources. Also, it requires only one onsite node to deliver HA for your applications that make the solution even more cost-efficient.
|Find out more about ➡ StarWind HyperConverged Appliance
Select "SQL Server Connectivity" instead of WID (Windows Internal Database) if you want to use your SQL Server database.
Next, you must enter a location to store the WSUS Updates and the NETBIOS name of your SQL Server. You are now ready to install SCCM.
Installing System Center Configuration Manager
Download the SCCM ISO and run the splash.hta file. I don't know why but the SCCM 1610 ISO is not available on Microsoft Volume License Service Center or MSDN, so I downloaded the 1606 version but if you have any idea why, please leave a comment at the end of the article.
Note: Don't forget to run the setup with domain administrator account.
Depending on your needs, you will install a primary site or a central administration site. In this guide, I will install a configuration manager primary site.
Next screens will ask you to enter the license and to accept the license terms. Setup will automatically download the prerequisite files to the location you specify.
Now, you must select supported languages for server and client.
Be sure, you can modify server and client languages by running again the setup and select "Site Maintenance" option.
Next important step is to specify the Site Code that identifies your SCCM site in your hierarchy. Be careful, the Site Code cannot be changed!
Microsoft does not recommend that you use the following names as site codes:
Several Configuration Manager components use the site code as a folder name, and because these names are reserved names in Windows, folders cannot be created with these names. These names are reserved for all versions of Windows.
You can join the primary site to an existing hierarchy, but here I select the second option.
Enter the SQL Server name and the instance name. If you don't change the instance name during SQL installation, then leave blank for default.
Next screen: specify the path to the SQL Server data and log files. Now you must specify the server where SMS provider will be installed:
Here, I want to install MP and DP role on my primary site server.
The management point is the primary point of contact between Configuration Manager clients and the site server. Management points can provide clients with installation prerequisites, client installation files, configuration details, advertisements, and software distribution package source file locations. Additionally, management points receive inventory data, software metering information, and status and state messages from clients.
System Center Configuration Manager uses distribution points to store files needed for packages to run on client computers. These distribution points function as distribution centers for the files that a package uses, allowing users to download and run these files, programs, and scripts when a package is advertised.
Because of SQL Mixed Mode, the prerequisite check shows me a warning message that you can safely ignore.
Click Close once the installation is complete.
Launch the SCCM Console
If you are not in the latest version, you can update SCCM to the latest version in "Updates and Servicing" section.
That's all! Our SCCM environment is up and running. I will explain later how to use SCCM, and how it can save you a lot of time by helping you to manage your devices.
Thanks for reading!

I've been married 8 years tomorrow. I waited a long time to marry in many estimations. I had lived a lot of years alone and was quite set in my ways. I knew that life would change significantly when I made the decision to pledge myself to another person. I knew that my habits and traditions would need to merge with my husband's habits and traditions and that we would need to find a way to navigate those waters. I knew there were a lot of things that would be different and challenging.
I had many conversations with my married friends about how their spouse's idiosyncrasies had seemed cute and endearing during courtship, but had changed to annoyances and sources of contention. I was prepared to be annoyed. I was confident that our love could withstand any such annoyance. I was determined that the trivial would not overshadow the significant. In short I believed that our marriage would be different than my friends' marriages – we were just better suited, more in sync, more meant to be, more cerebral, just more.
And if I'm honest, in a lot of ways we just don't let small things get to us. We really don't fight much – in fact, I can probably count on one hand the number of times we've actually had a real "fight". We respect each other and for the most part can navigate through petty annoyances and differences of opinion without much incident.
However, there is one thing that no one warned me of when I was about to say I do to this man. No one cautioned me regarding this one thing, habit, compulsion, even addiction and the unending angst it would inflicted upon me. No one told me that this thing could immediately turn my feelings of love and adoration for this man, my mate, into loathing and violence. There was no warning that this one activity would cause me to throw things, yell, stomp my feet, etc.
This is the infraction which causes me angst. Every morning, without fail, my husband leaves his spoon on the lip of the sink. Every single, cotton picking morning, I walk into my kitchen to find this coffee, creamer and sugar laced spoon stuck to its lower left corner.
This spoon and its sticky attachments cause me no end of revulsion. Most mornings the bowl which was used in conjunction with this utensil sits within the well of the sink, ready and willing to hold the discarded spoon. But no, each day this spoon attaches itself to the chrome with such force that warm water and a rag are often required for its removal.
I have asked, pleaded and commanded that this practice cease, but each morning these requests are ignored and the spoon takes up its residence once again on the lip of the sink.
Had I known, had some caring and concerned soul told me that this would be my lot in life – then my friends, I may have felt prepared for the psychological pain this action has inflicted. But NO, not one person told me the horrors to which I would be exposed. Because had they told me, had anyone seen fit to prepare me, then dear readers, I might have considered this a deal breaker – at the very least an item to be discussed at great length in pre-marital counseling.
But, alas, no one warned me. And now, 8 years later, I must fight this battle daily. I must endure this hardship of compromise with every morning's cup of coffee.
I often think of what life will be like in our future – what our golden years will look like – how will we spend our days as we grow old and grey and the frenzy of life slows down in the sunset of our lives. I draw a mental picture of what those years will look like – if God willing, we are granted those years. Each time I try to imagine it, the same scene emerges in my mind's eye.
My beloved and I, sitting in the early morning light at our kitchen table – each of us reading; I rise and shuffle to the kitchen to pour our cups of coffee – black for me, cream and sugar for him – and without thought or hesitation, I lay the spoon on the lip of our sink. And a tear forms in my eye and a grin on my mouth as I breathe up a prayer of thanks that I was blessed with a man whose worst offense in our long lives together was the spoon and its place on my sink.
Happy Anniversary, Terry. I love you!

Besides the fixed time to eat, we also need to eat in smaller portion but in more often time.
Do not forget about our drinking habits. We need to drink enough fresh water or about eight glasses a day or depends on our activities. It is also better to stop drinking soda which can cause this problem.
Choosing right foods is also essential to avoid the gastritis problem. We need to avoid some foods, as like foods which can cause gas increase, as like broccoli, cabbage, and many more. It is also better to avoid the consumption of condiments and also spices.

I studied the Alexander Technique for three years in London at the Constructive Teaching Centre (CTC), the original school founded by Walter Carrington, F.M. Alexander€™s teaching assistant.
While training, I headed the Student Network for UK Alexander Technique trainees. In this capacity, I was fortunate to learn from several excellent AT teachers who were also trained in medicine, theater, music, running, swimming, horseback riding, bicycling and psychology.
After I graduated in July 2009, I stayed on at the CTC as an assistant teacher for another term. During and after my training, I gained valuable experience assisting as an Alexander Technique teacher on the MA course for actors at Arts Educational School London and at the London Academy for Dramatic Arts (LAMDA).
Since returning to New York City, I have had post-graduate training at the Dimon Institute. I have taken on private clients and assisted at osteopath's clinic. I have worked as a teacher at an AT training school. In addition, I have taught classes on the AT to acting students at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Manhattan.
I am certified to teach by both the British and American Alexander Technique professional organizations, STAT and AmSAT, have professional liability insurance and adhere to a professional code of conduct. I spent three years (1600 hours) in full-time training to become an Alexander Technique teacher.

The 2018 NBA All-Star rosters are now officially set.
The 14 reserves — seven from each conference — announced on TNT's Inside the NBA round out the player pool (with 24 players in all) for LeBron James and Stephen Curry to choose from. As the leading vote-getters in the Eastern Conference and Western Conference, LeBron and Steph are captains and will choose the remainder of their squad according to the new rules.
The reserves, as selected by the coaches:
East: Kyle Lowry (Raptors), Bradley Beal (Wizards), John Wall (Wizards), Victor Oladipo (Pacers), Kevin Love (Cavaliers), Kristaps Porzingis (Knicks), Al Horford (Celtics)
West: Damian Lillard (Trail Blazers), Russell Westbrook (Thunder), Klay Thompson (Warriors), Jimmy Butler (Timberwolves), Draymond Green (Warriors), LaMarcus Aldridge (Spurs), Karl-Anthony Towns (Timberwolves)
Two of the more surprising West snubs: Paul George and Chris Paul. There was also some talk Lou Williams, in the midst of a career season, could get chosen. Beal, Oladipo, Porzingis and Towns will all be making their All-Star debuts.
LeBron, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving and DeMar DeRozan were named as starters from the East while Steph, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins will represent the West. However, with conference affiliation no longer determining the makeup of each team, who plays with who will all come down to how the draft shakes out.
Since LeBron got more votes than Steph, he'll have the first pick. All the starters must be taken before any of the reserves. Steph, meanwhile, gets first pick on the reserves. Look here for more info on how the new rules work.
This year's game, at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, is on February 18th and will start at 8:00 pm ET.

Madison Tamblyn pitched her venture, MadDogg Heat Sleeve, to angel and venture capital investors during the start-up competition.
Elon University senior Madison Tamblyn placed first in the student category of the 15th annual Charlotte Venture Challenge.
Tamblyn pitched MadDogg Heat Sleeve, a single-use coffee heat sleeve she invented to keep coffee at the optimal drinking temperature.
The Charlotte Venture Challenge, a start-up competition for early-stage high growth companies, provides competitors with the opportunity to present ventures to angel and venture capital investors and potential customers.
"Winning this competition was great to have feedback from 200+ venture capitalists, angel investors and entrepreneurs," said the management major from Cary, N.C. "It was very empowering to speak to a room of professionals who speak the entrepreneurship language and recognized the potential of my product. The praise and interest in my product was overwhelming."
Tamblyn developed the MadDogg Heat Sleeve over the past year with help from Elon University's Doherty Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, the Department of Physics and the campus Maker Hub. This past January, she pitched the heat sleeve at the San Francisco ElevatorPitch entrepreneurship event, winning the competition.
In the last couple of months, Tamblyn has registered her business, trademarked the name and created a website.
As the senior readies to graduate next month, she plans to continue developing her venture, which includes launching a crowdfunding campaign on HatchPad, a platform that supports student entrepreneurs.

Justice and Peace
Justice and Peace
We are a small group of people who meet regularly to consider how best to help our Parish to become more aware of the Social Teaching of the Church. We also try to encourage the members of the Parish to respond to particular needs or issues, local, national and international, as they arise.
We support the justice and peace initiatives which are already part of our Parish life: Regular CAFOD and Missio collections, Fairtrade Stall (We have been a Fairtrade Parish for eleven years) and monthly Swindon Foodbank collection. We now organise a bi-monthly collection of coffee, sugar and biscuits to enable the Harbour Project for refugees and asylum seekers to offer hospitality. Individuals in the Parish are involved with fundraising and volunteering for The Medaille Trust, Christmas Care and the Sleep Out for Threshold Housing Link.
In 2015 and this year, we have supported the Mary's Meals Backpack project and this year the Parish sent 122 Backpacks for children who are being fed by the charity in schools in different parts of the world. Together with other members of Churches Together in Swindon Centre, members raised money for CAFOD and Christian Aid at Lent Lunches.
Using Holy Rood Primary School premises next door, we hosted Lent and Harvest Fast day briefings for CAFOD and learnt much about the work of CAFOD in Uganda and Bolivia. Different members of the group spoke at all the masses for Lent Fast day. We also organised the retiring collection for the CAFOD emergency appeal for Ethiopia.
In response to Pope Francis' encyclical, "Laudato Si" we ran study groups to encourage people to think carefully about climate change and the way we care for our planet. We maintain a Help and Advice board in church which is a source of information about the many agencies that can respond to particular needs.

For this FLIR TCX spot we created a CGI sequence where the viewer is led through a ventilation system and into a room. Along with the the CGI intro, we tracked and screen replaced the alarm and thermostat, created a CGI animated fan and animated the exploding FLIR TCX product. Since the spot was shot in low light, we knew tracking software would have a hard time locking onto small tracking dots and adjusting to low light noise. So all shots had to be tracked without a single physical tracking dot. Instead, we tracked certain areas in the environment and digitally added dots the 3D camera tracker would recognize.
The most challenging shot was tracking and lighting our CGI fan. During the shoot we measured distances, recorded camera information, and took photos for HDRI reflection and lighting. But once the shot was tracked, we still weren't satisfied with the timing and easing. For a better creative result, we manipulated the track frame by frame. To create a realistic nighttime effect, we modeled additional detail into the fan, digitally painted layers of texture passes and several lights, including the police red and blue highlights.
The end card CGI product explosion took a week to create. Since there were no CAD files available we had to do the work ourselves. So we took apart the physical products, modeled the exterior and interior circuit board parts, textured, lit, animated and rendered, V-Ray and composited in After Effects.

Intel pledged $300 million to increase diversity in its U.S. workforce by 2020, according to reports.
Intel chief Brian Krzanich made the pledge during a Consumer Electronics Show keynote speech Tuesday night, according to USA Today. Krzanich will spend $300 million to find women and underrepresented minorities to fill jobs in the company and keep them there.
"It's time to step up and do more," Krzanich said. "It's not good enough to say we value diversity."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Apparently Intel will set goals to "mirror the talent available in America in the next five years," and executive compensation will be linked to how well company leaders reach those goals. "This isn't just good business. This is the right thing to do," he said.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson was at the keynote and applauded Intel's announcement. Jackson has previously called upon Silicon Valley leaders to diversify its workplaces, especially with underrepresented African-Americans and Latinos. He also asked other tech leaders to join the "parity pledge" to create more positions for a diverse workforce.
Recently many tech companies showed that African-Americans and Latinos make up about 5 percent of their workforce, while the national average is 14 percent.
Will Intel's $300 million draw in women and minorities? It likely depends on what kind of programs it intends to support. Things like coding boot camps could help greatly, but the company has to recruit not only engineers but support staff, administration and marketing, too.

On the evening of October 29th, Beijing time, in a warehouse at Pier 36 in New York, Liu Jiahu, a CEO, joined the stage and started his speech in English.
He said that his English is not good. This is the first time that he has spoken in front of so many people in English. The embarrassment that appeared from time to time in the speech also set off the tension of Liu Zuohu on the stage.
Fortunately, he insisted on ending a short opening in English and received applause from the audience.
At the same time as the flagship new product added 6T in the second half of the year, Liu Zuohu also announced an important news: One plus will cooperate with US operator T-Mobile, starting from November 1st, in the latter's more than 5,600 stores in the United States. Sell one plus mobile phone. This may be the motivation for Liu Zuohu to speak in English.
T-Mobile is currently one of the major domestic operators in the United States, with a user base of 109 million and a sales of 80 million smartphones per quarter.
Unlike the Chinese mobile phone market, operators still occupy an important position in the US mobile phone sales channels. At present, handset shipments from carrier channels account for nearly 90% of the US mobile phone market as a whole. It can be said that in order to gain a foothold in the US market, no matter how large the mobile phone brand, it is necessary to establish a stable cooperative relationship with operators.
But the relationship between Chinese mobile phone brands and US carriers is not unbreakable. If there have been cases of cooperation with ZTE and Coolpad before, in recent years, US carriers are basically insulated from Chinese brands. Huawei was close to working with AT&T, but it was not realized because of various factors. Other domestic mobile phone brands have also failed to cooperate with US carriers.
Like most domestic mobile phone brands, One Plus has been selling in the US through public channels. Although it has gained a certain degree of recognition in the US market, compared with the more mature markets such as India and Northern Europe, there is still a big gap.
Therefore, the cooperation with T-Mobile will help the United States to embark on a more flat development path in the US market.
"This is the biggest step in one plus. & rdquo; Liu Zuohu said.
In the US, working with operators has never been a simple matter. The cooperation process is usually divided into three phases: negotiation, internal testing, and acceptance of the operator's test; before the mobile phone is listed, it also needs to pass the US National Access Certification (FCC), third-party certification, and the operator's live measurement. In general, the entire process will last for 16-17 months.
On November 20, 2017, after the one-plus 5T conference in New York, Liu Zuohu flew to Seattle and met with relevant senior executives at T-Mobile. From the formal contact between the two parties to the conference, Liu Zuohu announced that the formal cooperation was reached. It took less than one year, and it was much faster than the regular process time.
In Liu Zuohu's view, one plus product force plays an important role in achieving cooperation. He said that unlike some operators who simply pay attention to revenue, T-Mobile pays more attention to product levels. Several vice presidents of the company have high evaluations for one plus mobile phones, enabling the two parties to quickly finalize cooperation.
In terms of the specific details of the cooperation, T-Mobile can respect the specific requirements of the product, such as the pre-installation of software as much as possible in terms of simplicity; in terms of sales, T-Mobile agrees that one plus mobile phone is in its store. The sales cycle and one plus self synchronization.
This is not a simple communication process. For the above mentioned aspects, operators also have their own traditional operating habits. However, in order to ensure that users who use the customized version of the operator can get the experience as close as possible to the commercial version, Liu Zuohu has repeatedly communicated with T-Mobile on these issues, and finally the other party made concessions.
The only difference between the carrier-customized version and the commercially available version is that the former can only provide a single SIM card and cannot dual-card dual-standby, but this is due to T-Mobile's own network settings.
T-Mobile's emphasis on one plus is also reflected in the support of sales. After the official launch of the 6T, T-Mobile provides users with a replacement service for the old ones. The old mobile phone in the user's hands can be reduced by up to $300 when they purchase one plus 6T. This has exceeded 50% of the price of $549 from a plus 6T.
To a certain extent, T-Mobile dared to invest such a heavy chip in a plus, due to the differentiated nature of the 6T in the US market.
Compared with several products launched before, one of the main selling points of one plus 6T is the addition of the fingerprint under the screen. Prior to the release of 6 plus, Liu Zuohu once mentioned the reason for not using the screen fingerprint. He said that when the 5T was developed, the fingerprint on the screen was already considered, but in the end, because the recognition rate was not high, he did not use the screen fingerprint on the 5T and 6 on the 5th and 6th.
Later, in order to further improve the technical solution of the screen fingerprint, Yijia and the solution provider Huiding Technology jointly set up a "war room" to promote the optimization of accuracy, security and quickness of the identification scheme. .
Liu Zuohu told the interface journalist that one month before the official release of the 6T, the staff of both sides were still conducting research and development on the fingerprint recognition under the screen. He himself was not sure whether the optimization could be completed on schedule.
"We are ready, if we do it, we will release it normally. If we don't do it, we will not send this function," Liu Zuohu said. Finally, two or three weeks before the conference, the experience of fingerprint recognition on a plus 6T screen finally met his requirements. According to the information given at the press conference, the fingerprint module of the 6T screen can only recognize the fingerprint of the user by only 0.34 seconds. According to Liu Zuohu, this unlocking speed is faster than many brands of mobile phones.
In addition, Qualcomm has also given a certain amount of help in the implementation of the fingerprint technology under the screen. Qualcomm President Christiano · Amon mentioned at the press conference that one plus 6T will store user fingerprint information in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip, which can also improve the security of user information, there is no information exposed through software. risk.
The successful implementation of the screen fingerprint recognition of the plus 6T has also become the first mobile phone product with the screen fingerprint recognition function in the US market. At present, Apple and Samsung, two mainstream mobile phone brands in the US, have not yet launched models with off-screen fingerprint recognition technology, which is one of the most important competitive advantages in the United States.
But one plus does not intend to reflect the difference only on this point.
Cristiano · Amon, who appeared at the press conference, not only introduced the details of the fingerprints under the screen, but also talked about the cooperation between Qualcomm and Jiajia in 5G.
Liu Zuohu said that Ika has already cooperated with some European operators to provide the first 5G mobile phone in Europe. According to a statement by Canadian co-founder Carl Pei, the plan is likely to be implemented in the first half of 2019. Previously, One Plus had successfully released a tweet using a 5G network based on the lab environment.
Qualcomm is also actively deploying 5G, and it is expected that more than 20 handset manufacturers will adopt the Qualcomm Xiaolong X50 5G baseband series to launch 5G terminal products. Amon said that in the first half of 2019, Qualcomm will have a series of new applications for high-end smartphones. He also said that he believes that one plus mobile phone will play a leading role in the promotion and application of 5G.
The cooperation between the two parties can help one to seize the opportunity in the process of the official commercialization of 5G mobile phones. If Apple and other brands slow down at this point, they will have the opportunity to further gain a foothold in the US market to grab Samsung and The space left by the US high-end market after the Apple price segment was mentioned.
Shortly after the press conference, the one-plus-one flash shop with T-Mobile opened in Times Square ahead of schedule. According to the original plan, only 500 one plus 6T mobile phones were prepared in the store, but T-Mobile was confident in the cooperation and increased the inventory of this store to 2,000. On the same day, T-Mobile temporarily adjusted 1,000 machines from the northern area to ensure sufficient supply because of the long queues on the scene.
One plus a cooperation with US carriers has opened a good start, but in the future, it will need to further deepen the US market.

April 2nd 2015
I love to watch Baseball! I know there are some who think the game is too slow, or they stopped watching because of the steroid era. Not me, I love to watch the game and here's why!
The St Louis Cardinals, that's my team – I grew up listening to Jack Buck and Harry Carry call the games on my little radio when just a kid. One of my great memories is listening to Bob Gibson's only no hitter against the Pittsburg while playing miniature golf on a homemade course in my cousin's back yard. And all those Saturday afternoon games on a lazy Saturday afternoon sitting in the Lazy Boy and napping to the game, there is nothing better than taking a nap while watching Baseball.
One of the great things about the game is when the announcers tell these great stories about the game. If the announce team is good it just ads to the story and the flow of the game.
Some people tell me they don't watch the games on TV but would rather go to a live game. Yeah being there live is awesome. There is nothing like walking up the stairs stepping on the tarmac and looking over the well-groomed field and seeing players warming up. I have the same feeling at the old Candlestick Park, Bush Stadium, Diamondback Field or the fields at Ogden or Salt Lake City.
And what is a ball game without snacks- get me a dog a burger or both some crackerjacks and an ice cold drink and Dave is a happy man.
Here at KOOL I am the Card fan, Dave Fannin is an A's fan, Brad Stone a Giants fan. At the other stations in the building we have Yankee fans, Angles fans and even fans of the Cubs yes the Cubs!
So, whoever you root for it will be a summer full of singing "Take me out to the Ball game for me! And if you don't have a team to root for you can always join me and rooting for my Cards.

The installation (upgrade) of Linux Mint 12 on my EEEPC left the system with some little problem to be solved together with many applications that had to be reinstalled. Not all of these problems are Mint-specific since one, at least, hat its solution reported on a Ubuntu forum. And I'm not also sure if these problems appears after upgrading from Ubuntu to Mint 12 or after a fresh installation too. By the way all have been solved with a couple of shell commands. I spent more time looking for solutions than executing them, so I hope it might be useful to have them all in the same page.
Missing Windows boot option
The first thing I noticed once I rebooted the EEEPC just after installing Linux Mint was that the Windows boot opting was missing from the Grub boot menu. After a brief looking for it in the 'net I did find on Mint forum a couple of commands to solve it:
sudo os-probersudo update-grub

ISSF World Cup 2017: China continues to dominate, India struggles on day three
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
New Delhi, [India] Feb. 26 (ANI): With day three of competition, China maintained its domination at all the rifle and pistol events held so far at the ongoing International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup (rifle/pistol/shotgun) here. Having won their fourth and fifth Gold medals of the tournament, China is now leading the medal tally comfortably with four Silvers added to their five Gold medals, while Italy with one Gold and two Silvers lie a distant second. India lies in the fifth place with one Bronze medal along with seven other countries. In the first medal event of the day, the Women's 10m air pistol, Indian fans had hopes with Olympian and former World No.1 Heena Sidhu, but she 'flattered to deceive', missing out on a final berth by 0.1 points to finish eleventh. Harveen Srao, however, surprised many by scoring 379 in qualifying to make it to the eight-woman Final in seventh position. She had a torrid start to the Final, shooting three scores out of the first five shots in the 8s which put her out of a medal reckoning. China's reined the event by beating Olympic Champion and World No.1 Mengxue Zhang compatriot by Yuemei Lin to the Gold. The Bronze went to Singapore's Shun Xie Teo. In the Men's 50m rifle three positions, India's hope rested on the experienced Olympian Sanjeev Rajput, who rallied brilliantly towards the end to shoot a score of 1,159 to qualify for the Finals in eighth position. Chain Singh finished ninth with a score of 1156 while the third Indian Satyendra Singh shot 1154 to finish 13th. In the eight man Final, Sanjeev was in medal contention after the 15-shots each Kneeling and Prone positions but a below par Standing position round meant he had to be content with fifth place. Out of the seven medal events held so far, a total of seven Indians have made it to six Finals, barring the Women's Trap, however Pooja Ghatkar's Bronze in the Women's 10m air rifle is the only medal won. There was also the Trap Mixed Team event Final on the day. It can be noted that this is the first ISSF World Cup where Mixed Gender events are being tested out. Of the six out of 14 teams that qualified for the Final round China beat New Zealand 25-21 in the Gold medal match. The Bronze went to Italy who beat Team Spain 28-21. Day four of the competition will also see two Medal events in the 50m rifle three positions Women and Men's Double Trap. In the Women's event India will be represented by Tejaswini Sawant, Lajja Gauswami and N. Gaayathri, while in the Men's Double Trap, India will have hopes from Ankur Mittal, Sangram Dahiya and 14-year-old Shapath Bharadwaj. (ANI)

HealthSmart Mission Most Fit Company award winners
Business with less than 50 employees: HTI Employment Solutions
Business with 51-250 employees: ProCare Rx
Business with 251+ employees: Hall County Government
Mike Evans has survived cancer and a heart attack.
Last year, one more health calamity may have been prevented thanks to preventive screenings at the HealthSmart Interactive Health and Wellness Expo.
"Through the screening here, I had a carotid doppler done," Evans said, gesturing to his neck. "They referred me to my cardiologist so they could do a full one. It did help."
Evans and his wife, Becky, were back this year to take advantage of the free screenings at the seventh annual event.
"I don't have health insurance," Becky Evans said. "This is my third year coming to this, and it's a wonderful resource."
Hosted by the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce, around 50 vendors packed the Gainesville Civic Center on Wednesday, offering information and advice to the hundreds of attendees.
Along with health screenings, flu vaccinations were available to anyone interested.
"Right now they're starting to see some cases come up," said Walgreens pharmacist Matt Owens. "They don't think it's going to be as bad as what it was last year, but they still think it may be higher than in previous years."
The HealthSmart breakfast helped kick off the event, with guest speakers P. Tennent Slack and Dallas Gay, from the THINK ABOUT IT campaign, discussing prescription dug addiction.
"In the past 10 to 12 years, there has been a dramatic shift in drug abuse in the United States," said Slack, a doctor with Northeast Georgia Physicians Group. He said prescription drug addictions have skyrocketed.
Gay spoke about his grandson's prescription drug addiction.
"Prescription drug abuse was not on my radar a few years ago," Gay said. His teenage grandson, Jeffrey Gay, then began spiraling into addiction.
After eventually enjoying nearly two years of being sober, Jeffrey lost his life in 2012 to an overdose.
"When that demon from the past called his name, he answered that call," Gay said. "It cost him his life.
"Jeffrey's story taught us that preventing addiction can be so much more successful than treating addiction," he added.
After the speeches, the John Jarrard Foundation presented Gay and Slack with a $3,000 donation for the THINK ABOUT IT campaign.
Also at the breakfast, the Most Fit Company awards were presented to the Hall County Government, ProCare Rx and HTI Employment Solutions.

The stone is up - not bad for the first time, I think I will start a company called Dr Rock and begin my masonry hobby.
I love when things turn out, also just fixed at the Lee River Ratz Club:
Hot tub heater pump
Hot Water tank elements
Oddly enough, about the same period of time my Hot Water tank at home exploded - must have been a sign! Now that everything is fixed I am ready to bless my sister for her wedding this long weekend (could have picked a regular weekend!!) (kidding) at least I will drink some rums and piss on some Ottawa grass for a change.
Happy camping

Incorporating On-The-Fly Graphics In CGI outputby lacertus (Monk)
|on Mar 30, 2003 at 20:00 UTC ( #246767=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
lacertus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Howdy Y'all,
I'm trying to create a graphical plot image on the fly to be incorporated in a webpage Perl program. The Perl program creates Apache statistics using a CGI object. My question is how do I output the graph image inbetween calls to the CGI object? I can't seem to find documentation that details doing this. This is the page I'm outputting:
That graph is just a temp, ripped directly from the GD::Grap3d documentation. How would I go about printing that to the webpage after the initial &tableOut()?
Thanks, hope the weekend has been restful to ya!,

Volunteers turn grief into good deeds following October wildfires
In the wake of the October wildfires, people across Sonoma County were left heartbroken by the devastating loss of homes, possessions and lives.
But some have taken their grief and forged it into a force for good. Psychologists have found that getting involved rather than staying isolated and actively engaging in the struggle instead of feeling powerless helps people not only survive, but thrive, following a stressful situation.
Many of these Good Samaritans have found ways to make a difference by helping others in ways that played to their strengths.
One delivered food to the hungry. Another created a website to help people support fire survivors and the local businesses contributing to relief efforts. A third has tried to raise awareness of changes that could prevent a firestorm from ever taking such a devastating toll again.
The community has become stronger because of them. Here are a few of their stories.
'The itch to do more'
Sonoma State University graduate Vanessa Johns, 31, lives with her fiancé on San Miguel Avenue in Santa Rosa, on the western end of the street where three-quarters of the homes are still standing.
On the night the fire jumped the freeway, the couple woke up at 2:15 a.m. and smelled smoke. They opened the blinds and saw a smoky, orange glow to the east and chaos to the west, a line of evacuating cars. It took them 10 minutes to get dressed, corral their pets and join the mass exodus.
Johns called her employer, Sonic, to see if they could go to its west Santa Rosa offices with their pets. They stayed one day, then she spent the rest of the week turning the facility into a makeshift shelter for employees, making runs to Costco and buying air mattresses.
At Sonic, Johns worked in human resources and helped develop a program encouraging employees to give back to the community through acts of service.
"Between that and taking care of people during the fires, it really gave me the itch to do more," she said. "In November, I started volunteering at the (Redwood Empire) Food Bank with fire relief distribution."
Every year, with the help of hundreds of volunteers, the food bank serves 82,000 people in five counties: Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake, Humboldt and Del Norte. In Sonoma County, she said, 1 in 6 suffer from hunger.
"I am personally drawn to working at a distribution site," she said. "You're handing out food and seeing the positive impact you're having on people's lives."
In March, Johns applied for a job at the food bank as community engagement coordinator and got it, using her marketing skills to speak to the community and conduct food and fund drives.
"I share our mission and what work we're doing," she said. "Our mission is to end hunger in our community, and we all work really hard to do that."
Every Wednesday since the fire, Johns hands out bags of food at the Redwood Empire Food Bank, which started a new program to feed fire survivors who have lost a home, a job or both. The food allows displaced people to focus on more pressing needs, like finding a job and a place to live.

If you have eyes, then I'm guessing you're sick of seeing the same images again in again with different actors acting as various ciphers. There's Photoshopping galore, some it truly sad. Each genre has its own set of expectations. They have all become tired; heaps of tragically unaware self-parodies plastered everywhere. Each year we can lament and question; where has the magic of movie posters gone?
Well, it's not entirely gone. Hopefully my choices this year will emphasize that periodically something aesthetically worthy comes along. I cannot lie though; the countless mediocre/pitiful posters I had to go through to get to these is more than a little disheartening. I would go through 100 posters before anything stuck out.
The 'Worst Posters' list will soon follow. But I prefer this list this year. Why? Because there have been a few Worst Posters list to come out already and I must admit that after doing my own research, they hit the nail on the head for nearly all of them. Which means that my list and theirs will be very similar.
What were your personal favorite posters of the year? Here are the 20 film posters of 2011 that represent mine. The rule was only 1 poster per film. I do not claim these to be the best; just the ones that caught my eye the most and that I find myself most drawn to. I have seen 14/20 of the films here. A few of these films I'm not really a fan of but a great poster is a great poster regardless of the quality of the film it represents (and I won't be getting into which films those are here). Off we go.
20. Shit Year
Here, we get Ellen Barkin, whose presence seems to be single-handedly melting the watercolors (Watercolors? Inked water? I suck). She looks like a clown, has a cigarette hanging out of her mouth and the title indicates this was not a very good year for her. This poster makes me want to find out why.
As the list continues, you will see a lot of 'it makes me want to know more'. That is what a poster should do. It is first and foremost an advertisement. If it can do this in a way that is not tired or a simple rehash of the ten stock images we get from posters these days, it is a success.
Last year I had a couple of posters on my list that evoked the exploitation era. Hobo with a Shotgun, coming from Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse trailer contest, follows suit in what has now become a welcome trend. Creases, lots of action overlapping with each other, a self-aware tagline; it's all there.
You will see as we go through the list just how represented Magnet releases are (five total). They do some of the most consistent poster work out there and they deserve their due for presenting advertisements in a way that promotes creativity.
18. Drive Angry
Again with the Grindhouse inspired kind of look. This just works on every level for me from the font size to the artificial messiness of it. It is unfortunate that this poster was not the one mainly used, but such is the case; even the few great posters exist to be largely unused.
17. The Devil's Double
An in-your-face concept that goes for the jugular as far as poster concepts go. It goes to an extreme to make its point and for that, it deserves major props. The only thing working against it is the oddly misrepresentative tagline; a minute irritation. I still say Dominic Cooper looks more like Michael C. Hall here than Dominic Cooper. I can't be the only one that sees this; can I?
16. The Muppets
Out of all the imaginative send-ups for the return of the Muppets, I chose a sparse Kermit-centric one, the only reason being that I have a soft spot for Kermit the Frog. Any poster with his head on it earns a spot on this list. Just look at that smile; oh how it melts my heart.
15. The Future
It is hard to articulate what it is about this poster that I find so memorable. The centered upside-down photo with the font contained within has an unexpectedly long-lasting effect on the mind. There's just something about it….
I was so happy to be able to get this on here as it really stuck with me throughout the year. This is a haunting use of space with the victimized yellow car illuminating the shadowy figure just enough to get a sense his weapon but not his identity. Those who have seen the film will recognize this as a reference to the opening sequence.
13. We Need to Talk About Kevin
There is suspicion and paranoia afoot as Swinton's temperament towards her child is shown with this image. I love posters that have this purple-brown hue to them. Just look at I Saw the Devil's poster for further proof. I don't know how else to describe it so there you go; purple-brown hue. My description skills are clearly tops.
12. Martha Marcy May Marlene
A case of the fuzzies. I can't help it; I love out-of-focus images on posters. This really captures Jody Lee Lipes' cinematography on the film which is still my personal favorite of the year. The poster provides a hook; why is she running away? Who from? Does she make it? Coincidentally, it is almost a reverse shot of the Margaret poster which was the last I cut for this list. And both have 'M' names. Weird.
11. 13 Assassins
A marvelous illustration for yet another Magnet release. Busy but not too busy, and positively engaging.
10. Black Death
I flat-out love this bleak and foreboding poster for a film that unfairly went under the radar. For those counting, this is the fourth Magnet release on the list. That endlessly hopeless feel the Middle Ages have (at least for me) is truly represented here. I think I caught the Plague just looking at it.
9. Gainsbourg
It goes without saying that Serge Gainsbourg equals suave. A poster for this biopic needs to be able to capture the personality we all think of when we hear the French lady killer's name. This version adds the perfect touch in capturing his demeanor through the cool blue and lusty red. Just looking at this makes me want to listen to "Histoire de Melody Nelson" for the billionth time. In fact….
8. Rubber
….yeah, I put the album on; I couldn't resist.
This graphic brings you front and center to the leering eye of a tire; a directly anthropomorphized illustration. It advertises its unconventionality, wearing it on its sleeve, begging onlookers to dig deeper into the unknown.
7. Certified Copy
I almost went with the equally impressive color-splatter poster for the film featuring the same image. The grey in this one allows Juliette Bincohe's startling paleness to stick out as well as the ruby red of her lips and earrings in this important moment from the film.
6. Le Havre
In addition to having an irresistible illustration that is at once sparse and full of intrigue. I want to know more about what I am seeing. Who are the players and how do they relate to each other?
5. The Skin I Live In
What strikes me most about this poster is that it looks like a mid-twentieth century middle school textbook. Would it actually be found in a classroom? Who knows? But it gives off that kind of educational vibe with an artistic twist that really drew me in.
4. Shame
The poster for Shame evokes with its ruffled bed sheets an immediate context of the film's title. It is slightly confrontational with its placement of the title smack dab in the middle; this film is not tiptoeing around its subject matter. Whether you have seen the film or not, the poster says a lot about the kind of experience it provides. Well, that quote does not exactly scream subtlety as an allusion to the film's content. Either way; we get the idea.
3. Cold Weather
There is an exquisite use of patterning going on and I love the placement of the actors. Even the font kills. It's just perfect.
2. Sleeping Beauty
Emily Browning's porcelain exterior blends right in with the beautiful embroidered couch behind her. The poster's color palette is gorgeous. Her supposed vulnerability is being subverted just like in the film (although the film is questionably successful at this). What we would expect to be a pleading look is actually a stern stare-down daring us to pass judgment on her.
1. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
As soon as I saw this poster, I knew it would be likely impossible that another poster would take its place at the top of the pack. Designed by Chris Ware, best known for his visually complex graphic novel Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth, everything here is absolutely captivating. Ware also designed the equally impressive poster for 2007's The Savages. The color scheme, the symmetry, the jellyfish-like middle, the water, trees; there is so much happening and it is all done through abstraction. So many aspects of the film are emphasized here, but you don't have to know that to appreciate this masterful work on display.

The first show premiered without too much of a hitch, so now that I can relax a bit, we can talk.
As I mention in the introduction of the video, the purpose of Sac Geek This Week is to discuss geeky current events and trends around Sacramento, CA. This show will be primarily based on things I am interested in, but that's only because I have no idea what you are interested in.
I want a dialogue between myself and the audience. If there is something going on that you would like covered on SGTW, please let me know. You can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Soon, I hope to have a forum page up and running, and soon we hope to be available on the iTunes Podcast Directory.
For now, you can manually add future podcasts to your podcatcher by adding the link below:
You can watch us live on Access Sacramento, Comcast/Surewest channel 17, AT&T U-Verse channel 99. Once we have a few shows under our belt, perhaps we will get a regular time slot. We'll see!

Through his acute colour studies Sewell also explores the dichotomy between the urban environment and its human habitation. This sits in stark contrast alongside his more reserved yet apocalyptic representations of drought and fire ravaged landscapes. Sewell was the winner of the 2009 Moran Contemporary Photography Prize for a work borne out of a three year study of the Murray-Darling Basin in Australia. He has been the recipient of three World Press Photo Awards in 2000, 2002 and 2005 for works covering the transition of East Timor to an independent state, Australian Bushfires, and the 2004 Tsunami aftermath in Aceh, respectively. Sewell was awarded Australian Press Photographer of the Year in 1994 and 1998.In 2005 and 2008, Sewell's art practice has seen him awarded artist residencies in the remote gold-mining town of Hill End, NSW which takes its place in Australia's art history as arguably one of the nation's more significant contributions to post-war art. Sewell is represented by Charles Hewitt Gallery, and has work regularly exhibited in leading Australian and International galleries. He is a founding member of Oculi.

Sabater Hermanos
Sabater Hermanos
If you're seeking sanctuary from the tourist masses of the Barri Gòtic, you can usually find respite on the tranquil Plaça de Sant Felip Neri. You can also find some amazing soap. Located on this charming little square, Sabater Hermanos is a family-run soap shop in its third generation. The business was started by Sebastián Sabater in Buenos Aires in 1937. After Argentina's economic crises peaked in 2001, Sebastián's granddaughter, Eliana, decided to make the move to Barcelona. It took Eliana a while to find an adequate location for a store, but she eventually discovered the old printing house that become Sabater Hermanos's new home. There are over 40 different soaps on offer, available in diverse shapes and with fragrances like chocolate, lemongrass, almond, cherry, old lavender, green tea, tea rose, pomelo, jasmine, mandarine and honey. The soaps, made from coconut and palm kernel oil, are all produced in Barcelona. Incredibly, Eliana still uses her grandfather's original soap-making machines. We were especially taken with the Soap Petals: small slivers of soap made to resemble flower pedals, where the idea is that you use one petal every time you wash your hands. Lest any Argentina-philes should lament that Barcelona's gain came at B.A.'s loss, we can reassure you that Sabater Hermanos still has a store in the Palermo barrio of Buenos Aires.Show lessRead moreFritz

Went out to Vegas to attend The Java Symposium 2011. Not really fond of the location, but you have to pick your battles. It's a three day conference, but travel really knocks out at least a day.
The most interesting talks, I thought, were less about specific technology releases like JEE 6 or Java 7 or Glassfish or Apache Camel, but performance tuning techniques and war stories. In retrospect the one live demo I saw was maybe a bit of smoke and mirrors, where they swapped out an optimistic concurrency pattern using Exceptions that looks really ugly for a synchronized version and magically halved throughput. They claimed it was antagonistic performance from a 3rd party dependency, like Facebook or Twitter. The idea being that if you remove roadblocks in your code, you might discover the increased load on twitter scales even more poorly. Because apparently queues are quadratic in Web 2.0 land.
But beyond that there were interesting talks on classloaders, static analysis for performance anti-patterns, how the JVM abstraction makes compliance difficult to optimize, and the virtues of Dtrace. Many insisted the first place to look for dramatic fixes was not code, but configuration and hardware. We wound up scheduling time with one of the vendor's freemium tools next week to debug some terrible performance problems in testing environments not present in production or development. I suspect the issue is going to be insufficent hardware allocation or misconfiguration of the Oracle server; I haven't seen any version control for config of that, and it seems like a prime candidate for config and data drift. Unfortunately I don't have enough access to the test env to debug the problem. Perhaps I'll ask for that to be remedied.
The keynotes were mostly bland vendorspeak, although Oracle did claim they had no evil plan, because if they did, the past year would have been less dramatic. Because obviously they're only good at planning for evil, and fail at benevolent planning. Otherwise, lots of emphasis on The Cloud, and Java 7, and quite a bit of Open Source as a feature.
