Syncer is a tool used to import data incrementally. It is a part of the TiDB enterprise toolset.
It can be downloaded as part of the Enterprise Tools package.
You can deploy Syncer to any of the machines that can connect to MySQL or the TiDB cluster. But it is recommended to deploy Syncer to the TiDB cluster.
Before importing data, read Check before importing data using Syncer.
Edit the meta file of Syncer, assuming the meta file is
# cat syncer.meta
binlog-name = "mysql-bin.000003"
binlog-pos = 930143241
binlog-gtid = "2bfabd22-fff7-11e6-97f7-f02fa73bcb01:1-23,61ccbb5d-c82d-11e6-ac2e-487b6bd31bf7:1-4"
- The
syncer.metafile only needs to be configured when it is first used. The position is automatically updated when the new subsequent binlog is replicated.
- If you use the binlog position to replicate, you only need to configure
binlog-pos; if you use
binlog-gtidto replicate, you need to configure
binlog-gtidand set
--enable-gtidwhen starting Syncer.
Description of Syncer command line options:
Usage of syncer:
-L string
log level: debug, info, warn, error, fatal (default "info")
-V to print Syncer version info (default false)
-b int
the size of batch transactions (default 100)
-c int
the number of batch threads that Syncer processes (default 16)
-config string
to specify the corresponding configuration file when starting Syncer; for example, `--config config.toml`
to enable ANSI_QUOTES sql_mode
to start Syncer using the mode; default false; before enabling this option, you need to enable GTID in the upstream MySQL
-flavor string
use flavor for different MySQL source versions; support "mysql", "mariadb" now; if you replicate data from MariaDB, set it to "mariadb" (default "mysql")
-log-file string
to specify the log file directory, such as `--log-file ./syncer.log`
-log-rotate string
to specify the log file rotating cycle, hour/day (default "day")
-max-retry int
to specify the maximum times an SQL statement should be retried. One common cause of statement retries is network interruption (default 100)
-meta string
to specify the meta file of the upstream of Syncer (in the same directory with the configuration file, "syncer.meta" by default)
-persistent-dir string
to specify the persistent file (historical reason: it is not a directory) of Syncer history table schemas; if you set it to a non-empty string, the history table schema is chosen according to the column length when you construct DML statements
to specify and enable the safe mode to make Syncer reentrant
-server-id int
to specify MySQL slave sever-id (default 101)
-status-addr string
to specify Syncer metrics (default :8271), such as `--status-addr 127:0.0.1:8271`
-timezone string
the time zone used by the target database; it is required to use the IANA time zone identifier such as `Asia/Shanghai`
config.toml configuration file of Syncer:
log-level = "info"
log-file = "syncer.log"
log-rotate = "day"
server-id = 101
# The file path for meta:
meta = "./syncer.meta"
worker-count = 16
batch = 100
flavor = "mysql"
# It can be used by Prometheus to pull Syncer metrics, and is also the pprof address of Syncer.
status-addr = ":8271"
# If you set its value to true, Syncer stops and exits when it encounters the DDL operation.
stop-on-ddl = false
# The maximum number of times an SQL statement should be retried. One common cause of statement retries is network interruption.
max-retry = 100
# Specify the time zone used by the target database; all timestamp fields in binlog are converted according to the time zone; the local time zone of Syncer is used by default.
# timezone = "Asia/Shanghai"
# Skip the DDL statement; the format is **prefix exact match**, for example, you need to fill at least `DROP TABLE` in to skip `DROP TABLE ABC`.
# skip-ddls = ["ALTER USER", "CREATE USER"]
# After Syncer uses `route-rules` to map the upstream schema and table into `target-schema` and `target-table`,
# Syncer matches the mapped `target-schema` and `target-table` with do/ignore rules,
# and the matching sequence is: replicate-do-db --> replicate-do-table --> replicate-ignore-db --> replicate-ignore-table.
# Specify the database name to be replicated. Support regular expressions. Start with '~' to use regular expressions.
# replicate-do-db = ["~^b.*","s1"]
# Specify the database you want to ignore in replication. Support regular expressions. Start with '~' to use regular expressions.
# replicate-ignore-db = ["~^b.*","s1"]
# skip-dmls skips the DML binlog events. The type value can be 'insert', 'update' and 'delete'.
# The 'delete' statements that skip-dmls skips in the foo.bar table:
# [[skip-dmls]]
# db-name = "foo"
# tbl-name = "bar"
# type = "delete"
# The 'delete' statements that skip-dmls skips in all tables:
# [[skip-dmls]]
# type = "delete"
# The 'delete' statements that skip-dmls skips in all foo.* tables:
# [[skip-dmls]]
# db-name = "foo"
# type = "delete"
# Specify the db.table to be replicated.
# db-name and tbl-name do not support the `db-name ="dbname, dbname2"` format.
# [[replicate-do-table]]
# db-name ="dbname"
# tbl-name = "table-name"
# [[replicate-do-table]]
# db-name ="dbname1"
# tbl-name = "table-name1"
# Specify the db.table to be replicated. Support regular expressions. Start with '~' to use regular expressions.
# [[replicate-do-table]]
# db-name ="test"
# tbl-name = "~^a.*"
# Specify the database table you want to ignore in replication.
# db-name and tbl-name do not support the `db-name ="dbname, dbname2"` format.
# [[replicate-ignore-table]]
# db-name = "your_db"
# tbl-name = "your_table"
# Specify the database table you want to ignore in replication. Support regular expressions. Start with '~' to use regular expressions.
# [[replicate-ignore-table]]
# db-name ="test"
# tbl-name = "~^a.*"
# The sharding replicating rules support wildcharacter.
# 1. The asterisk character ("*", also called "star") matches zero or more characters,
# For example, "doc*" matches "doc" and "document" but not "dodo";
# The asterisk character must be in the end of the wildcard word,
# and there is only one asterisk in one wildcard word.
# 2. The question mark ("?") matches any single character.
# [[route-rules]]
# pattern-schema = "route_*"
# pattern-table = "abc_*"
# target-schema = "route"
# target-table = "abc"
# [[route-rules]]

The update in MySQL is automatically replicated in TiDB.
This section describes the priority of parameters when you use Syncer to replicate the database.
# Specify the ops database to be replicated.
# Specify to replicate the database starting with ti.
replicate-do-db = ["ops","~^ti.*"]
# The "china" database includes multiple tables such as guangzhou, shanghai and beijing. You only need to replicate the shanghai and beijing tables.
# Specify to replicate the shanghai table in the "china" database.
db-name ="china"
tbl-name = "shanghai"
# Specify to replicate the beijing table in the "china" database.
db-name ="china"
tbl-name = "beijing"
# The "ops" database includes multiple tables such as ops_user, ops_admin, weekly. You only need to replicate the ops_user table.
# Because replicate-do-db has a higher priority than replicate-do-table, it is invalid if you only set to replicate the ops_user table. In fact, the whole "ops" database is replicated.
db-name ="ops"
tbl-name = "ops_user"
# The "history" database includes multiple tables such as 2017_01 2017_02 ... 2017_12/2016_01 2016_02 ... 2016_12. You only need to replicate the tables of 2017.
db-name ="history"
tbl-name = "~^2017_.*"
# Ignore the "ops" and "fault" databases in replication
# Ignore the databases starting with "www" in replication
# Because replicate-do-db has a higher priority than replicate-ignore-db, it is invalid to ignore the "ops" database here in replication.
replicate-ignore-db = ["ops","fault","~^www"]
# The "fault" database includes multiple tables such as faults, user_feedback, ticket.
# Ignore the user_feedback table in replication.
# Because replicate-ignore-db has a higher priority than replicate-ignore-table, it is invalid to only ignore the user_feedback table in replication. In fact, the whole "fault" database is ignored in replication.
db-name = "fault"
tbl-name = "user_feedback"
# The "order" database includes multiple tables such as 2017_01 2017_02 ... 2017_12/2016_01 2016_02 ... 2016_12. You need to ignore the tables of 2016.
db-name ="order"
tbl-name = "~^2016_.*"
You can use Syncer to import data from sharded tables into one table within one database according to the
route-rules. But before replicating, you need to check:
route-rules syntax.
Currently, the support for DDL is still in progress.
# The scenarios are as follows:
# Database A includes multiple databases such as order_2016 and history_2016.
# Database B includes multiple databases such as order_2017 and history_2017.
# Specify to replicate order_2016 in database A; the data tables are 2016_01 2016_02 ... 2016_12
# Specify to replicate order_2017 in database B; the data tables are 2017_01 2017_02 ... 2017_12
# Use order_id as the primary key in the table, and the primary keys among data do not conflict.
# Ignore the history_2016 and history_2017 databases in replication
# The target database is "order" and the target data tables are order_2017 and order_2016.
# When Syncer finds that the route-rules is enabled after Syncer gets the upstream data, it first combines databases and tables, and then determines do-db & do-table.
# You need to configure the database to be replicated, which is required when you determine the target-schema & target-table.
db-name ="order"
tbl-name = "order_2016"
db-name ="order"
tbl-name = "order_2017"
pattern-schema = "order_2016"
pattern-table = "2016_??"
target-schema = "order"
target-table = "order_2016"
pattern-schema = "order_2017"
pattern-table = "2017_??"
target-schema = "order"
target-table = "order_2017"
Before replicating data using Syncer, check the following items:
Check the database version.
Use the
select @@version; command to check your database version. Currently, Syncer supports the following versions:
5.5 < MySQL version < 8.0
MariaDB version >= 10.1.2
In earlier versions of MariaDB, the format of some binlog field types is inconsistent with that in MySQL.
If there is a master-slave replication structure between the upstream MySQL/MariaDB servers, then choose the following version.
- 5.7.1 < MySQL version < 8.0
- MariaDB version >= 10.1.3
Check the
server-id of the source database.
Check the
server-id using the following command:
mysql> show global variables like 'server_id';
| Variable_name | Value |
| server_id | 1 |
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
server-id must be different from the MySQL
server-id, and must be unique in the MySQL cluster.
Check binlog related parameters.
Check whether the binlog is enabled in MySQL using the following command:
mysql> show global variables like 'log_bin';
| Variable_name | Value |
| log_bin | ON |
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
If the result is
log_bin = OFF, you need to enable the binlog. See the document about enabling the binlog.
The binlog format must be
ROW and the binary log must be written with
FULL row images. Check both of these variables:
mysql> select variable_name, variable_value from information_schema.global_variables where variable_name in ('binlog_format','binlog_row_image');
| variable_name | variable_value |
2 rows in set (0.001 sec)
SET statement to dynamically change these settings.
Check user privileges.
Check the user privileges required by Mydumper for full data export.
select and
--no-locks option when the operation object is RDS, to avoid applying for the
reload privilege.
Check the upstream MySQL or MariaDB user privileges required by Syncer for incremental replication.
The upstream MySQL user must have the following privileges at least:
select, replication slave, replication client
Check the downstream user privileges required by TiDB.
|Databases, tables
|Databases, tables
Execute the following
GRANT statement for the databases or tables that you need to replicate:
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,ALTER,INDEX ON db.table TO 'your_user'@'your_wildcard_of_host';
Check the SQL mode.
Make sure that the upstream SQL mode is consistent with the downstream SQL mode. Otherwise, the data replication error might occur.
mysql> show variables like '%sql_mode%';
| Variable_name | Value |
| sql_mode | ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION |
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
Check the Character Set.
TiDB differs from MySQL in character sets.
Check whether the table to be replicated has a primary key or a unique index.
If the table does not have a primary key or a unique index, idempotent operations cannot be achieved. In this situation, a full table scan is performed every time an entry of data is updated in the downstream, which might slow down the replication task. Therefore, it is recommended that you add a primary key to every table to be replicated.
syncer monitoring solution contains the following components:
See the following diagram:
Syncer provides the metric interface, and requires Prometheus to actively obtain data. Take the following steps to configure Syncer monitor and alert:
To add the Syncer job information to Prometheus, flush the following content to the configuration file of Prometheus. The monitor is enabled when you restart Prometheus.
- job_name: 'syncer_ops' // name of the job, to distinguish the reported data
- targets: ['10.1.1.4:10086'] // Syncer monitoring address and port; to inform Prometheus of obtaining the monitoring data of Syncer
To configure Prometheus alert, flush the following content to the
alert.rule configuration file. The alert is enabled when you restart Prometheus.
# syncer
ALERT syncer_status
IF syncer_binlog_file{node='master'} - ON(instance, job) syncer_binlog_file{node='syncer'} > 1

The Fragile Silk
May 4, 2016 | by: Maureen Maniquis | 0 Comments
Posted in: Gospel Living
I was looking at a spider web strewn across a panel on my lanai. The intricacies of the fragile silk weave start from a single thread shot from the spider into the wind with the hope that it will catch on to something. It is a game of chance for the sustenance of a life. The silk is delicate but flexible which gives the spider some pretty decent odds. The web bends with the wind and stays intact doing its job, just a day in a life. But, as we have all seen, one harsh blow and the web is no more.
Life can be so fragile.
I can't help but think how often I just take life for granted. I leave my house with a mind full of assumptions. How often do I rush out my door with a hurried goodbye as I race to beat out the clock to be somewhere? Or those nudging reminders to call an old friend but never get around to it? Why do I presume upon my God for my length of days? Every day is a gift. Every day deserves my thanks, my attention, my intention. Every day is another silk thread woven around my life in delicate grace; a life that bends and sways with the flowing winds and sustained by the mercies of God. There are no guarantees, surely that silk can snap, but the mercies that flow on those winds can bear the harshest of blows in their compassion. You see, the odds are not in the length of days but in the goodness of the One who gives them. The goodness is the guarantee, the goodness that everything has its purpose under heaven.
Yes, it's true, life can be fragile but it's not a game of chance. In fact, it's not a game at all. Every life has its purpose under heaven and each one will see its intended days lived out. There can be freedom in the fragility when there is trust in the goodness of God.
"I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. I will pray as long as I have breath...How kind the Lord is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours." Psalm 116:1-2, 5 NLT

Aston Villa are now as low as 4/1 to win promotion from the Championship this season after Steve Bruce continued his unbeaten start to life in B6.
The manager is yet to experience defeat in claret and blue winning three and drawing three of his opening six games in charge.
While Villa's position in the table actually worsened over the weekend, there were positive signs from a 1-1 draw at high-flying Brighton.
Can Villa still win automatic promotion?
Not only did the result prevent the Seagulls moving further away from the rest of the pack, it also sent out a warning sign to the rest of the Championship.
Villa were unlucky not to win and other teams would have taken note as the Sky Sports cameras screened the clash.
Bruce has whipped his side into shape and they're now a match for any team in the division.
Defeat would have pretty much ended their feint automatic promotion hopes but with 87 points still to play for and only 13 points still to claw back, the claret and blues still have a reasonable chance of turning it around.
A play-off place is more a realistic aim at this stage but Bruce is refusing to give up.
So what are the fans saying? Do they still believe there's a chance.
Here's some fan verdicts:
It's not beyond the realms of possibility, but they will need to keep the Brucey success story rollig during the next batch of games against Cardiff (h), Leeds (a), Wigan (h) and Norwich (a).

A police dog has been given a solemn official burial ceremony in Lithuania, complete with state border guards firing a volley salute.
An urn with the ashes of Belgian shepherd Ramzis was carried before officers and dogs from the State Border Guard Service's canine squad in the western town of Pagegiai.
The three-year-old was killed in action on September 27, tracking smugglers near Russia's Kaliningrad regional border.
The shooting has angered Lithuanians and a campaign has been launched to raise money to erect a statue to commemorate the dog.

Create the title
Once you have decided the topic for your undergraduate dissertation, you should focus on getting the heading done. This is the most straightforward approach but you could also start working on the text first. Later, as you progress in the writing process, you may come up with the most suitable heading for your paper. Sometimes, starting by the content allows you to have a wider perspective about the whole project. You should try out the approach which best suits you in order to come up with a hooking and descriptive title.
Pick the keywords
Now, you should consider the most relevant words in the paper. You should use some of them – if not all – naturally when you write the heading down. However, it is always recommended to focus on this part of the dissertation in a deeper way so as to check if everything is as expected. What should the title look like? Concise. Accurate. The heading should describe the content and attract the readers at the same time.
You could use questions for a title but it is not recommended as a blind pick. In other words, if you go for this option, you should have some good reasons in order to get the most out of it. For instance, first-person rhetorical questions are not advisable, you should avoid those. However, you could try something like: "Are we concerned enough about dealing with global warming?" By using the first person in plural you include the reader in the interrogation.
The straightforward approach is to use questions in the title to hook the readers interest. It should be an interrogation which causes thoughts on the audience. What's more, you should proceed to answer the questions in your paper in an organized and structured fashion.
A word on capitalization
Avoid using all caps in your title, as it looks too simple. You should rather use capitalization in the keywords of your title. By doing so, you will enhance the focus of the readers on the most important ideas related to your undergraduate dissertation.

Making Moves: A look at the 2010 Off-Season

Making Moves: A look at the 2010 Off-Season
Don't wait to find out Jamaal Charles is no longer the lone back in Kansas City or that Anquan Boldin will line up alongside Derek Mason and not Larry Fitzgerald. Off-season news matters, and it matters in the off-season. If you aren't preparing for your fantasy draft or at least keeping track of the deals going down in the off-season, you will be far behind in 2010 fantasy knowledge. And if you want a championship, bragging rights, and those green face Benjamin Franklins in your hand come Week 16, then take advice from the $100 man himself: " By failing to prepare-you are preparing to fail." And failure in fantasy football is NOT an option. Luckily FFChamps.com will catch you up on all the 2010 Off-Season movement.
Running Backs:
LaDainian Tomlinson
: Perhaps the most valuable fantasy player from 2000-2008 is LaDainian Tomlinson. But in the last few seasons, LT got older, slower, more fragile, and less useful in your fantasy lineups. He was cut from the Chargers a month ago, but now signed on with the New York Jets. In 2009, the Jets led the league in rushing but decided to cut their leading rusher (more on this later) at the start of the 2010 Free Agency Period. Their offensive line is among the league's best, which bodes well for LT, considering he now needs big holes in order to be productive. But last year's explosive rookie, Shonn Greene, will handle the bulk of the carries for Gang Green. Plus the NYJ get back the shifty and speedy Leon Washington, who is expected to make a full recovery from his '09 season injury. Tomlinson is still a great pass catcher, so expect some dump offs and bubble screens on passing downs. Add in the occasional goal-line plunge and the Jets inclination to dominate opponents with their run game, and LT will finish the season as a bye week replacement or low end flex play option in your lineups.
Thomas Jones:
In 2009, Thomas Jones finished with the 3rd most rushing yards in the entire NFL. Adrian Peterson, Maurice Jones Drew and Michael Turner, all of who were drafted in the first round, possibly the first three overall picks in your fantasy draft, finished with less yards. Jones' average draft position was anywhere between the 3rd and 6th round. That is what we call VALUE. And the Chiefs got plenty of it by signing Jones. That being said, the 2009 Breakout Player Of The Year, Jamaal Charles, could have been the hands-down starting RB in KC. But expect Jones to have a significant role. Remember back to Charlie Weiss' OC days in New England where he favored an RBBC approach. Expect the same as Weiss takes over the Chiefs' Offense, meaning both Jones and Charles will get plenty of playing time and plenty of production. Let your opponents pass up Jones on draft day. Just reserve a pick in rounds 4-6 for him. Remember VALUE!!!
Larry Johnson
: The Redskins signed Free Agent Running Back Larry Johnson, to a 3 year deal worth $12 million. LJ might have one of the fastest declines in production the NFL has ever seen. In 2006 he rushed for 1,789 yards, the following year he rushed for 559 yards and hasn't been the same since. So what would the rebuilding Redskins want with a 30 year old problem child like LJ? Perhaps a supporting actor for Clinton Portis's crazy press conferences. Unfortunately I doubt that's the reason, but in all seriousness I don't know what the Redskins see in LJ. But I do know that Mike Shanahan can take almost any running back and turn them into a 1,000 yard rusher. Just look at how Mike Anderson, Tatum Bell, Olandis Gary and Rueben Droughns performed in Shanahan's system while in Denver. Given his track record, Shanahan could transform Johnson back into the old LJ. Unless of course, Shanahan favors Clinton Portis, the current starter and alumni of the acclaimed "Mike Shanahan 1,000 yard rusher fraternity." But Portis was injured much of last season and in attempt to keep him healthy, LJ may see a significant role. Shanahan or no Shanahan, the Redskins MUST address their Offensive Line, QB, and WR issues, if they want to succeed in the run game.
Chester Taylo
r: Chester Taylor signed a 4 year contract with the Chicago Bears. He leaves behind his former role as backup to Adrian Peterson for a new role splitting time with Matt Forte or possibly replacing Forte as the starter. Forte and the Bear's Offense may have been the biggest fantasy disappointment last season and like fantasy owners, the owners of the Bears share the same feelings. So they add a back like Chester Taylor who is extremely useful both rushing and catching the ball. He should fit nicely in Offense Coordinator Mike Martz's system who demands versatility from his backs. The Bears made a quick fix to keep up with conference opponents and score happy offenses like the Packers and Vikings. Expect an RBBC approach from Taylor and Forte. Considering they both have similar skills neither will be declared the "3rd down back."
On another note: Vikings' Adrian Peterson is now the sole RB in Minny HALLELUJIAH.
Wide Receivers
Anquan Boldin:
For the last two seasons, Anquan Boldin, asked to be traded out of Arizona. Boldin, now a Baltimore Raven, got his wish and was dealt for two 2010 draft picks. His trade has a big impact on players from the Ravens and Cardinals. The Ravens get a top threat at the receiver position that will put Joe Flacco's strong arm to good use. Though Derrick Mason is a solid option, he doesn't attract the attention from defenses like Boldin, which will now free up the Raven's powerful run game. Boldin's former teammates, Steve Breaston and Early Doucet, will see more playing time for Arizona, as they move up the depth chart. And don't forget Larry Fitzgerlad's stats improve drastically when Boldin was injured or out of the lineup. Will that trend continue with Matt Leinart at the helm and not Kurt Warner? Well that is TBD. Draft Boldin as your #2 WR and laugh at your opponents when he puts up #1 type stats.
Nate Burleson
: Former Seattle Seahawks Wide Receiver, Nate Burleson, signed a long term contract with the Detroit Lions. Burleson's addition will prevent defenses from triple teaming Calvin Johnson and gives QB Matthew Stafford a viable 2nd option at the receiver position. Last year Burleson had 63 receptions and 812 yards in 13 games. Due to the fact that the Lions often play from behind and are forced to throw, look for Burleson to improve on his stats from last season. Megatron should also see an increase in production.
Antonio Bryant
: The Cincinnati Bengals added to their depth at Wide Receiver by signing 29-year-old Antonio Bryant. Chad Ochocinco and Carson Palmer will benefit the most from this addition. Palmer now has the option of throwing to a quality #2 receiver and Ochocinco won't see as much double coverage compared to last year. Bryant was injured much of last season, but finished with a career best and very promising 1,248 yards in 2008. Draft him as one of your many WR backups and cross your fingers in anticipation that Carson Palmer returns as one of the NFL's elite QBs.
Brady Quinn
: The Cleveland Browns are having a busy off-season. So far they made four roster changes at the Quarterback position alone. First they signed QB Seneca Wallace, then dropped Derek Anderson, then signed Jake Delhomme, and most recently traded Brady Quinn. The former Notre Dame standout was supposed to be the future star of the Browns organization. Instead, Quinn was traded to Denver for a full-back and a few conditional draft picks. Whether or not you think Quinn has talent, you can't deny the Broncos got him for CHEAP. Head Coach Josh McDaniels has said Kyle Orton will remain the starter, but after last season's second half collapse, I don't know how long Orton will retain the role. If the Broncos can hold onto disgruntled WR Brandon Marshall they would have a solid core of young offensive players with Quinn at QB and 2nd year RB Knowshon Moreno in the backfield.
Jake Delhomme/Seneca Wallace
: As you just read, Brady Quinn is out of Cleveland. Jake Delhomme was signed via Free Agency and Seneca Wallace was acquired via trade. But which will start in 2010? Based on the amount of money the team is paying him and his past experience as a starter, it appears Delhomme will likely be the team's 1st string QB. But Wallace is very mobile and could be used in some type of formation with Do-It-All-Man, Joshua Cribbs. We will pay attention to the QB battle throughout the off-season and update you accordingly.

As teens push their parents for more control over their lives, they use their peers as metrics to define appropriate levels of freedom and personal autonomy. They also tend to overestimate how much freedom their peers actually have. Those are the conclusions of new research that appears in the journal Child Development; the research was conducted at The Ohio State University.
Anyone who has parented a teen knows that expanding the boundaries of personal authority is a normal part of development. But we don't know a lot about how teens decide in which areas they want more autonomy. To answer this question, two studies were carried out—the first included more than 500 youths in 6th through 9th grades and in 12th grade; the second followed up on the 6th and 7th graders a year later, when they were in 7th and 8th grades.
The studies found that teens used their peers as a gauge to figure out when and in what areas to seek more autonomy in their own lives. Moreover, younger teens and girls wanted autonomy more than older teens and boys.
While teens' perceptions of peer freedom predicted desired levels of autonomy, the research also found that teens consistently overestimated the actual levels of their peers' autonomy, assuming that others had more freedoms than they did.
"The findings help illuminate sources of individual differences among teens in their development of autonomy," according to Christopher Daddis, assistant professor of psychology at The Ohio State University, who conducted the studies. "Although all teens' decision-making autonomy increases, their experiences differ in when and how they develop that autonomy."
"Practically speaking, it's important for parents to understand that their children don't have explicit guidelines that define the appropriate pacing of developing autonomy, but often rely on peers of the same age to gauge their own requests for additional freedoms."
The research reported above appears in Child Development, Vol. 82, Issue 4, Desire for Increased Autonomy and Adolescents' Perceptions of Peer Autonomy: "Everyone Else Can; Why Can't I?" by Daddis, C (The Ohio State University).

Dozens of videos have been uploaded online by Kazakh activists and election observers demonstrating what appears to be evidence of the falsification of pro-Tokayev votes during the June 9 presidential election that sparked intense demonstrations in Kazakhstan resulting in hundreds of arrests.
Kazakhstan's Central Election Committee announced preliminary results on June 10 showing that Kassym Jomart-Tokayev won 70.76% of votes cast, while Amirzhan Kosanov took 16.02%. Though that is an unprecedentedly high total for an opposition candidate to score in a Kazakh presidential election, Kosanov's supporters believe Tokayev received far fewer votes in reality. They have set out to provide evidence that gives at least some indication of the alleged level of vote falsification around the country that prompted protests and a police operation that even produced embarrassing pictures of furious elderly people being detained.
Some Kosanov backers believe the fact that Tokayev only won with around 71% of the vote—predecessor Nursultan Nazarbayev, who ruled for three decades and is thought to be still exercising power from the shadows, won his elections with more than 90% approval rates—is itself a consequence of Kosanov's supporters mobilising to prevent voter fraud by signing up to be election observers in their districts.
Hidden camera
A video posted on Twitter relayed footage from a hidden camera that showed polling station officials dropping a cache of voting ballots, presumably marked in Tokayev's favour, into a ballot box en masse.
Another video features a polling station turning off the lights during the vote count, a move seen as preventing observers from seeing what the polling station was up to.
Another video related how a video of a woman telling a polling station representative that someone had used fake signatures to vote on behalf of her registered family members, who could not make the polling station that day.
On the more positive side, a video uploaded on YouTube depicted the head of District 22 polling station in Nur-Sultan reading out the results of the vote count, according to which Kosanov received 537 of the votes, while Tokayev got 466.
Social media, mobile internet blocked
Many such videos have been circulated on social media apps including WhatsApp and Telegram. The Kazakh government appeared to be blocking Telegram for the entirety of election day and the app was not working on the afternoon of June 10 either. The mobile internet in Kazakhstan has been down all day.
A preliminary statement made by the observation mission of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on June 10, appeared to back claims of the Kazakh opposition.
The OSCE said Kazakhstan's presidential election was harmed by violations of fundamental freedoms, including crackdowns on public protests and irregularities on election day.
"The election took place in a political environment dominated by the ruling party and that limited critical voices," the statement said. "At the same time, irregularities on election day and a disregard of formal procedures meant that an honest count could not be guaranteed."
"Wake up, Kazakh!"
As disappointment spread at the prospect of the Nazarbayev era continuing from behind the scenes, a campaign calling for real change sprung up on social media, using the hashtags #qazaqkoktemi (Kazakh spring) and #menoyandim (I've woken up). A new movement called Wake Up, Qazaqstan has emerged from it, calling for democratic reforms.
The "wake up" theme stems from a 1909 poem written during Russian colonial rule. "Wake up, Kazakh! Think, Kazakh! Be, Kazakh!" it reads. "We are a nation that has forgotten its freedom." The movement is inspired by "a yearning for freedom", Anuar Nurpeisov, an actor behind the original Instagram campaign, told the Guardian. "This generation is tired of living under the leadership of people who grew up in the Soviet Union."

1. If given the task of styling yourself, what would you choose as the accoutrements?
An Alexander McQueen paisley skull bandana scarf, Givenchy leather leggings, Proenza Schouler wedge ankle boot and pair of Chloe Sevigny x Opening Ceremony sunglasses.
2. What is your most recent interesting thought?
Did André Cymone go on to compose the "X-Files" theme song under a pseudonym?
3. If you could be worn by anyone whom would it be?
Of "Two Fat Ladies" fame, Jennifer Paterson and Clarissa Dickson Wright.
4. Do you have a favorite error of redundancy?
Mass exodus.
5. There are only 30 of you in existence and a queue 400-deep is lined up outside, waiting for the doors to open in hopes of walking away with one of you. What is the proper song to start up on the Ipod shuffle just as the doors open and the hungry mass goes absolutely insane with elbows to the face and knees to the gut?
Obviously, Frank Stallone's "Far From Over." Remember this, both aggressive electric guitar and raucous keyboard solos give you wings. And if you really want people to fall back, stop and enlist a ravenous interpretation of the dance moves found between 0:02 and 0:16. Uh 5, 6, 7, 8!
6. What does one of the women do after she manages to walk away with one of you?
She sits alone in her studio apartment of Lilliputian proportions, staring at me hanging on the back of a chair, her left eyebrow split, patch of hair gone the way of the dodo, veneer cracked, right eye swollen shut with the surrounding area a marble of coagulated blood and a cold compress against a busted lip. It's true my being here will lead to ramen consumption for the next 4 months straight and there might be a fractured rib and some internal bleeding happening but that doesn't change the fact that I'm here. A smile slowly creeps onto her face, "Victory!" The smile soon disappears due to the searing pain caused when a split lip meets stretching skin. Not to worry, she takes to smiling on the inside.
7. Some scholars are claiming Courtney Stodden is the new super sexy, super sensual Jesse Jackson. Can you give us a sample of something that could come out of either mouth?
The admiration of his abdication further strengthened the acclimation of the accusation that he just might be the adaptation of their allegorical adoration thus nullifying the activation of my altercation.
One minor addendum: if you really want to sell this as a super sensual, sociopolitically minded Courtney Stodden tweet you must place the words "lollipop" and "oozing" in there somewhere while displaying a severe back arch.
8. If you were on the Twitter, what Kierkagaard quote would you send out into the world to give your timeline the allure of how randomly deep you are?
"I begin with the principle that all men are bores. Surely no one will prove himself so great a bore as to contradict me in this."
9. Eesh… That quote would actually make me very depressed if I were on your timeline. Would you like to try again?
Nope and that's because Kierkagaard speaks the truth.

I swear this is the last Halloween post for 2009. 😉 I just wanted to show you the pictures I took of my workplace's awesome Halloween decorations.
One of my coworker did this amazing pumpkin painting. And she supposedly doesn't have craft skills. Surprise, surprise!
Take a "look" (pun intended.) at what I had just in front of my computer. Dollarstore eyes with… red jello! And a little rat family! What a great way to greet clients. 😉
Another coworker did this super cool tombstone in front of one of the desks. There's even some small squeletons on it.
This is a Dollarstore spider that we hanged and added some "spider nests" with it…
…which you can see right here. They were made using a white pantyhose, newspapers, dollarstore spiders and spiderwebs.
Ever wondered what to do with thoses piles of shredded documents? Use them to make some pumpkins! Such an office craft! ^-^
And, finally, here I am with my homemade Dorothy costume. Remember? I made the ruby red slippers and even did a Toto with this tutorial.
What we realized by organizing this Halloween day at the office, is that it's a great way for coworkers to connect with each others. And the clients loved our decorated office!
It was fun for everyone and we're already thinking about decorating for Christmas. Wee!

Finding Kennedy by Jacinta Howard
This is me when I try a book by a new author not knowing what to expect.
Dear Lord, please let this be a good read!
Luckily for me Jacinta Howard does not disappoint in Finding Kennedy.
After a life altering experience Kennedy James fell into a routine. An introverted routine that left her social life non existent. Suddenly feeling suffocated by it all she up and leaves home; and that is where the book starts.
Kennedy James
In need of a change Kennedy finds herself leaving Denver on the road to a Texas small town named Tyler. The second she arrives at her grandmother Pepper's house she questions her decision. In the midst of doubts Pepper assures her that she is more than welcome to stay. In fact she'd been expecting her.
"I hope that you're the one… if not, you are the prototype…" -Outkast
Travis Broussard
Travis is a guitarist in a band called The Prototype. His introduction scene to readers is filled with witty dialogue and a strong attraction between he and Kennedy that's undeniable. Although instant, their attraction noticeably on a deeper level that he nor she could have ever expected. Especially for a first encounter… After said first encounter Travis knew he was in trouble because Kennedy was temptation in the flesh. His words, not mine. I would also like to note that he is very much an alpha male and my goodness I ate that up!
'The reality of our connection was swinging between us like a pendulum. Heavy. Insurmountable.' -Kennedy
Their connection is on point however their timing is all screwed up. His past can't seem to STAY in the past. Nevertheless, Travis stands firm in his desire to have her in EVERY way. Mind, body and soul. Letting her know point blank and period… I want you Kennedy.
My Thoughts
This is my first read by Jacinta and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed her writing. In Finding Kennedy, Howard melds her craft with another.. Music. Thus engaging the readers with the passion of music held by her characters.
->What I did not like? Maya. She can go choke on something sharp and pointy. LOL!
->What I liked, no what I loved was their chemistry. It was literally soul stirring and very well written. Tastefully sensual in a teasing manner.
The writing
I am really digging her style. The writing was smooth, true to life with relatable characters and situations. I most definitely look forward to reading more of her work.
To buy OR Not to buy? Buy!
Series: Yes, this is book 2. BUT The Prototype can be read as a standalone.
Recommendation: Yes. And I would read book 1 it's a standalone but you'll become interested in the first book after meeting the couple.
Plot/Storyline: Relatable with true life situations.
Steam Factor: High. On a scale of 1-10 I say 8.5
Now go forth and read, then come tell us what you thought about it! If only just a few words, remember that reviews are important to authors.

In B2B marketing, acquiring the skills necessary to spot the true potential of your business is essential– and that true potential lies within the hearts, minds, and actions of your customers.
Way before you are deciding how much to invest in marketing initiatives, which social media outlet to use or which trade show to attend to support your marketing strategy you must first answer one fundamental question: 'how do I build a truly sustainable and successful business?' In order to find the answer you need to unleash your passion - in a way some may call borderline obsessive – and completely focus on your customers. They are one of your biggest assets in achieving and sustaining long-term success.
When marketing within the B2B realm, it doesn't matter if you are an innovator of medical devices or selling an online service - the fundamentals are always the same - you MUST know exactly what makes your customers tick. As soon as focus shifts away from the customer and what they really want, any company is destined to fail. This is the case no matter how big or small the business.
The business landscape has changed and building customer loyalty is a difficult task; perhaps, even nearing extinction in our increasingly competitive world. Every business exchange comes down to 'what's in it for me'; thus, with a deeper understanding of customer needs and wants, you can easily integrate them into business activities and significantly increase your likelihood for success.
Many of our clients come to Mezzanine trying to better understand their customers, seeking insights into their decision making process, what concerns them, and where they see value.
If these are questions you find yourself asking and unable to answer call us at 416-986-4684 and speak with Lisa Shepherd. We are happy to help you better understand your customers.

This is the Only Level
Observe this failure of an elephant. Its very existence is an affront to the genuine article, the traditional lumbering, majestic, intelligent, gentle beast of the plains. This elephant is tiny. It is blue. The only verb it knows is "totter". Totter totter totter, like it's about to tip over from its sheer drunken lack of elephantine characteristics. Oh, and "jump". The elephant, the elephant, it leaps like a freaking tree frog. What a failure of an elephant.
Even worse, this elephant has forgotten every level of this new platform game from John Cooney (Achievement Unlocked) but the first. An animal known for its memory can't remember anything about the game it's starring in but a single configuration of blocks and spikes. This is it. This is the Only Level. It's not even a very interesting level: just hit the switch, which opens the door, which unblocks the exit. That's all this tragic failure of an elephant could come up with.
It can't remember what color the level is. That's different every time you play. It can't remember what the controls are. You might try the [left] arrow to totter left, the [right] arrow to totter right, and the [up] arrow to freaking jump, but don't count on that working all the time. Señor Failephant might switch things up on you.
This elephant doesn't even have a purpose. At least the doomed businessman in Karoshi, which features a similar kind of outside-the-box puzzle solving, has suicide on his mind. All the elephant wants is to go through the next pipe. What elephant travels by pipe? Why don't you just hop on a dinosaur and eat some mushrooms, you failure? Fail! You fail as an elephant!
Thanks to Patrick, Focus, Salmon, and Arikiko for sending this one in!

Welcome to the world of Cryptocurrency mining!
Over the past few years, cryptocurrencies have emerged as a highly popular form of payment and investment, particularly for those who do most of their shopping online. In the near future, they will certainly qualify for the status of a full-fledged global payment instrument. The crypto system will replace the traditional banking system as early as the coming decade. However, the creation of a cryptocurrency isn't as straight forward as simply printing a bank note. Have you ever wondered how Bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies are actually made? Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies on the market are generated through a process known as 'mining'.
Cryptocurrency mining includes two functions: adding transactions to the blockchain (securing and verifying) and also releasing new currency. The role of miners is to secure the network and to process every transaction. Miners achieve this by solving a computational problem which allows them to chain together blocks of transactions. Without miners, the network would be attacked and dysfunctional.
The Prime Mining team is composed of specialists with vast knowledge in computer engineering field, blockchain programming and advanced computational technology, who are enthusiastic about cryptocurrency mining.

So, you've started to run pay-per-click advertising campaigns for your nonprofit. Perhaps it's because you heard that Facebook ads were very effective, or perhaps you found out that your organization qualified for a $10,000 Google AdWords grant.
In any event, you took the plunge, created some ads, and launched some PPC campaigns.
Now what?
Yes, this is a common reaction because when you make a foray into the world of pay-per-click, one thing happens to everyone: you get overwhelmed. You see huge, complicated dashboards of data, throwing all kinds of stats at you like:
- Impressions
- Clicks
- Cost-per-click
- Clickthrough rate
- Relevance score
- Average position
"What do half of these things mean?" you might be thinking — and who could blame you?
Most people, feeling overwhelmed, stick with what they can understand: cost-per-click. It's a clear, plain-English metric that measures how much you're paying per click on your advertisement.
It makes sense, and so most people latch onto that stat and attempt to just drive down the cost-per-click as low as possible. The cheaper the clicks, the reasoning goes, the better the results.
While that sounds right, it doesn't quite add up — because not all clicks are created equal.
The Only Stat You Need To Care About With PPC: Cost-Per-Conversion
That's right. There's really only one stat you need to concern yourself with when you're running pay-per-click campaigns: It's cost-per-conversion.
What's that?
Simply put, a conversion is broad term that describes a specific result that you want. Perhaps your campaign is designed to elicit donations. In that campaign, a conversion would be a donation. Perhaps you set up a campaign to get people to sign up for your e-mail list; a conversion would be an e-mail signup in that instance. Maybe your whole goal with a campaign is for people to like your Facebook page. Yep, you guessed it; a Facebook page like would be a conversion for that campaign.
Why Cost-Per-Conversion Matters
There is so much data available in a typical PPC platform that you can miss the big picture. Ask yourself: "At the end of the day, why am I spending money on these ad campaigns?"
Is it to get a low cost-per-click? No, that's a means to an end.
Is it to reach a lot of people? No, another means to an end.
Is it to have a high clickthrough rate? No, what's that?
The right answer is that you want to get a specific result — a conversion. So, it would follow that you want to get the highest number of conversions for the least amount of money. That's the whole game.
That's exactly what cost-per-conversion measures. The stat tells you exactly — to the penny — how much you spend to get a conversion. It helps answer the age-old question: "Are these ads worth it?"
If you spend $15 in advertising to get a donation — and your average donation is $8 — then something needs to change for that campaign to justify itself. If you spend $3 per donation — and your average donation is $50 — then great job!
Cost-per-conversion shows you the winners and the losers in the clearest terms possible.
How To Set Up Conversion Tracking
Here's the thing: The most important stat you need to measure typically isn't the default.
When it comes to Facebook ads, you have to set up conversion tracking for everything except page likes ads. And, you have to set up conversion tracking for everything on Google AdWords. Here's a quick walkthrough of how to do it:
1. Thank-you page: The first step is to have something to track. The easiest way is to have a thank-you page on your website. For example, if someone donates to your organization, they need to click submit and get forwarded to a webpage that thanks them. This URL serves as proof that someone donated. They can't reach this page any other way. If you don't have a system like this on your website, set one up.
2. Tell Google/Facebook about that thank you page: Once you have that page, next step is to tell your advertising platforms about it. With Facebook, you need to drop a pixel onto that page. The pixel is a little bit of code that sends a message back to Facebook, saying, "Hey Facebook, somebody from your ad made it to the thank-you page." It then counts it as a conversion. Google AdWords has a similar pixel process, or you can designate the thank-you page as a Google Analytics conversion goal and import it into AdWords.
3. Create a campaign that is designed to measure/optimize conversions: With AdWords, all campaigns are able to measure conversions. You just want to make sure to check a box in the settings that optimizes the ads for conversions. That means, the ones that produce conversions most consistently are shown more often. With Facebook, that means selecting an ad that meets your objective. Some Facebook ads are only designed to generate views or engagement or clicks to your website. Make sure you select an ad campaign that is designed to get you the desired conversion.
While your journey continues from there, focusing on mining the data to see which demographics convert better and continuously optimizing for better conversion stats, simply aiming the campaigns at conversions puts you miles ahead of a pay-per-click novice. With a little more knowledge and practice, you too can use pay-per-click advertising to help your organization reach new heights.

I spend on average 1000 Canadian on this game a month. they can ill afford to lose people such as me but they will. unless I receive a working update and my game is fixed it has become completely pointless in playing a game that does not work let alone pay to do so. so I suggest someone take my issue seriously and investigate completely why this keeps happening or a big FU too reality squared games and gtarcade

Being a Nintendo fan for the better part of my 31 years, I've known frustration. I've been through the gauntlet on NES games, tasted the satisfaction of SNES, felt the burn of multiplayer party games on the N64, GameCube and Wii, and gone it alone on all the handhelds – GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, DS and DSi to name a few. But the 3DS brings a new mix of all those things – frustration, satisfaction, multiplayer fun and portable distraction. So is the story of Mario Kart 7 – a game that has flaws, sure, but is a whole lot of fun – and championed-in a very important 3DS update.
That update included the ability to join friends' games via the friends list – a vital function of the friends list initially left out. As well, players met through Mario Kart now show up in your Mii Plaza. But these things aren't as important as the gameplay in Mario Kart 7. After all, it doesn't matter if you can join a friend's game if you're not interested in doing so. It's good news then, that Mario Kart 7 is loads of fun, despite some quirks and problems, and it's a really fun game to play with your kids for all of the obvious reasons.The gameplay in Mario Kart 7 is, at its most basic, the same thing you always expect from a Mario Kart franchise game: you race, you shoot stuff at each other, you win, you lose. And if we just took MK7 straight based on that, I'd still be on-board for a near-perfect score. Just fair warning.
Do you remember the first time you heard those down-home old-timey Russian folk songs while dropping blocks into stacks, trying to clear the screen line-by-line? Yeah, me neither. But I remember how simple Tetris was – back in my day – and how much fun it was with such a simple formula. Somewhere between the game's first playable version in 1984 and now, Tetris got more and more complicated when variations of the game landed on different systems. Somewhere around the original Xbox generation, I got sick of wondering what changes I'd have to endure with the series. I just wanted old Tetris back.
Well, my hiatus has been broken by Tetris Axis for the 3DS (by Hudson Soft, published by Nintendo) – and while it's not a perfect game, it's a great experience that can be amped-up or dumbed-down to your liking. And this isn't just a game for you to play alone – there's plenty of party modes that you can play with your kids that'll keep you guys busy for a long while.

This afternoon, I was at my office where I have a spot in the basement – my private office – sort of. It is really our lab but we don't do a lot of actual lab work. I have a desk in there; there are no windows and no one in the office to distract me from my writing. I was getting deep into the writing of my paper: Mystical and Ecstatic Experiences in Christian Spirituality when I heard my dentist partner coming in the back door. Maybe he wondered who was in the office since I had driven my daughter's car there instead of my own.
Nope – He was responding to the call of one of our patients whose foster daughter had had a skating accident a few minutes before.
Amazingly, Roger just returned from a course on endodontic emergencies. He began telling me about a new technique that could be used with teeth broken just at the root level in young people so that the root would remain in place preserving the bone for future restoration.
Wouldn't you know it, this amazingly calm, sweet and cooperative child had broken her tooth off just where the enamel of the crown joined the root. He got to try out the new technique and I, since I was there at the office anyway, was able to assist him. Next week we will take the broken crown of that tooth and I will attach it to an orthodontic wire so that she will no longer be toothless.
One of those interruptions in my day that make life as a dentist so rewarding. And I am just about finished my paper too. Tomorrow should finish it – unless I have a new interruption to distract me.
