It can be difficult to know how to reply to "thank you." Most commonly, people will say "you're welcome" or "no problem." Yet, it is worthwhile thinking about your response to this question in different situations. You can have a variety of responses depending upon the situation you are in. For instance, you may want to respond differently to this question if you are in a business meeting. You may also need to adapt your response to the character of your relationship with the person. For instance, one one may respond differently if it is a close friend. An appropriate response will convey a positive impression to the person you are talking to.
Method 1 of 3:
Responding to Thank You at Work
1Offer sincere replies in a business setting. In business meetings and relationships, you should avoid casual replies and show your sincerity when responding to "thank you."
- Avoid using casual replies in a business setting. For instance, you should avoid phrases like "no problem," "anytime," and "it's alright" when replying to a client or customer.[1] X Research source
- Use a warm and sincere tone when replying to "thank you."[2] X Research source
- After the meeting, you can send an email or note that expresses appreciation for your business relationship. This will make the other person remember how helpful you were!
2Make people feel special. When replying to "thank you," it is best to offer a response that makes them feel that your relationship with them is special and unique.[3] X Research source
- For instance, you might say, "That's part of the complete commitment to service that you can expect when you do business with me."
- Try saying, "That's what good business partners do for one another. Thanks for doing business with us."
- If you know anything about the client, you can personalize the message. For example, you can say, "It is always a pleasure working with you. I hope your big presentation goes well next week."
3Say "You're very welcome." This is a classic response and keeps things simple.[4] X Research source
- For instance, when a partner says "Thanks for writing the contract," you can simply say, "you are very welcome."
4Offer a warm reply to a customer or client. When dealing with a customer or client, you want to convey your appreciation for their business.
- Tell your customer or client, "We appreciate your business." Use a sincere and warm tone. This tells the customer that you are grateful for their business.[5] X Research source
- Reply, "I'm happy to help." This tells the customer that you enjoy your job and are keen to help them. If you are serving a customer in a retail store and they "thank you" for showing them the options for a particular product, you could say, "I'm happy to help."
Method 2 of 3:
Responding to Thank You Via Email or Text
1Reply to thank you emails in a way that fits your personality and audience. There is no standard for replying to "thank you" in an email. Your response should fit the expectations of your audience and your personality.
- Use email in a way that fits your personality. If you are a chatty or outgoing person, go ahead and say "you're welcome" or "it's my pleasure" in response to a "thank you" email or text message.[6] X Research source
- Consider your audience when replying via email or text. Younger audiences might not expect a reply to an email or text saying "thank you." Older people often have different expectations for etiquette, and may very well appreciate a reply such as "you're welcome."[7] X Research source
- You may want to avoid emojis, smileys, and other images when responding to someone in email. These may be too informal for the situation.
2Responding to a "thank you" email is considered discretionary. Consider your personality and your audience. If you are a chatty person in face to face conversations, it may be best to respond to a "thank you" email. However, if you are not very outgoing, you can probably get away without a response.[8] X Research source
3Respond to "thank you" emails when you want to continue the conversation. You can write, "you're welcome" and then move on to the next conversation topic.[9] X Research source
- You may want to respond to the "thank you" email if there is also a question requiring a response in the email. In this case, you can say "you're welcome" and then answer their question.[10] X Research source
- You may want to respond to the "thank you" email if there was a specific comment in it that you wanted to address. In this case, you could say "you're welcome" and then address the comment that you wanted to talk about to continue the conversation.[11] X Research source
Method 3 of 3:
Responding to Thank You in Informal Situations
1Respond with "you're welcome." This is one of the most obvious and widely used responses to "thank you." It conveys that you accept their gratitude.[12] X Research source
- Avoid saying "you're welcome" in a sarcastic tone. Unless you want to convey that you didn't really appreciate doing the job for someone or don't appreciate them in general, it is best to avoid a sarcastic tone.[13] X Research source
2Say "thank you!" This conveys that you are also grateful for their contributions. Responding with a "thank you" conveys a reciprocal sense of gratitude. However, avoid repeating it multiple times in the same conversation. One thank you for each person in the conversation will do just fine.[14] X Research source
3Say "It's my pleasure." This conveys a sense of enjoyment in the act of doing something for others. It can be heard at five star hotels but could be used more widely.[15] X Research source
- For instance, if a friend says, "Thanks so much for making this delicious meal!" You might respond by saying, "It's my pleasure." This conveys your enjoyment of cooking for for others.
4Tell them, "I know you'd do the same for me." This conveys that you have a reciprocal relationship where you do each other favors out of good will. It also communicates confidence in your ability to help and activates the reciprocity of the partner.[16] X Research source
- For instance, if your friend says, "Thanks for helping me move into my new apartment this weekend. I don't know what I would have done without you!" You might reply, "I know you'd do the same for me." This conveys an understanding that you have a great friendship built on reciprocity.
5Say "no problem." This is a common response but should be used sparingly, especially in a business setting.[17] X Research source It conveys that what you did was no big deal. This can be fine in certain situations but can also diminish the relationship building opportunity of the interaction.[18] X Research source
- Say "no problem" only if it is true. If something took effort or time, don't be afraid to accept the other person's gratitude.
- For instance, if your friend says "thank you" for a small act like grabbing something out of the trunk of the car, you might say "no problem."
- Avoid saying "no problem" in a dismissive tone. This conveys that you didn't really put any work into whatever it is that you are being thanked for. Your friend or business partner will feel like your relationship is not important.[19] X Research source
6Choose a casual response. If you are replying to gratitude in casual settings or relationships, there are a variety of phrases to choose from. If you are responding to expressions of gratitude for very small things and a you need a quick response, these phrases may be appropriate.
- Say "it's alright". This phrase is best used in moderation. It can be used in situations where "thank you" is being offered for very small or petty things. Like "no problem," it should not be said in a sarcastic or dismissive tone.
- Say "anytime!" This is another one which can be used to assure the person that in such situations help can always be given. It conveys that you are willing to do the favor or task anytime.
- Say "glad to help." This conveys that you are happy to help your friend or acquaintance with the job or task. For instance, if your friend says "thanks for helping me install my new bookshelf." You could say, "glad to help!"
7Watch your body language. Your expression and body language can help make you seem sincere, personable, and helpful. When accepting thanks, remember to smile. Make eye contact with the other person as you speak, and nod along to what they say. Avoid crossing your arms or looking away.Advertisement
Community Q&A
QuestionWhat's a good response when someone says "Thank you for understanding?"wikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerPeople usually say this when they want to thank you for being patient or sympathetic with them when they're dealing with a difficult situation. Try saying something reassuring, like "Of course," "You're very welcome," or "It's no problem at all."
QuestionWhat's the best way to reply to a thank you from my boss?wikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerThat depends a lot on the tone of the thank you and your relationship with your boss. If things are fairly formal at your job, you can't go wrong with a simple "You're welcome." You can also add "Please let me know if there's anything else I can do." If you work in a more casual setting, you can say something like "Happy to help!" or "My pleasure!"
QuestionHow should I respond when someone says "Thank you for your service?"wikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerThere's no right or wrong way to answer. Many veterans respond with something like "I appreciate your support," while others choose to say something like "It was my privilege to serve." If you don't feel like saying anything, you can simply smile or nod in acknowledgement.
QuestionSomeone sent me a touching message, how do I reply?Community AnswerTell that person how much their thoughtfulness meant to you. Express your gratitude.
Question"Already bought one. Thanks" how do I reply to this?Community AnswerJust say something as simple as 'No worries!' or 'Okay, have a great day!'. You do not need to overthink it.
QuestionHow do I respond to, "thank you for a most professional and excellent service, it's much appreciated"?Community Answer"You are very welcome" should suffice.
QuestionHow do I respond to, "Thank you so much for caring about me."?Community AnswerYou can say, "You're welcome, it's no problem. I am here for you.".
QuestionWhat's a professional response to a customer who has thanked me?Community Answer"It's my pleasure, Sir/Ma'am." If taking care of business took some time, you can also end by saying "Pleasure doing business with you."
QuestionWhat should I reply when a person thanks me for sending an attachment?Community AnswerYou could reply, "You're welcome, let me know if I can be of any further assistance."
QuestionCan we respond to a 'thank you' with just 'welcome' or 'you are most welcome'?Community AnswerYes, depending on the situation. "You're welcome", with a smile, is usually common manners when talking face-to-face. Don't overdo it, just accept the thanks. I think "you are most welcome" may be a little too extravagant for a simple "thank you". It's up to you ultimately, though.

PHP Sessions and Data Persistence
Preventing Session Fixation
You want to make sure that your application is not vulnerable to session fixation attacks, in which an attacker forces a user to use a predetermined session ID.
Require the use of session cookies without session identifiers appended to URLs, and generate a new session ID frequently:
ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', true);
if (!isset($_SESSION['generated'])
|| $_SESSION['generated'] < (time() - 30)) {
$_SESSION['generated'] = time();
In this example, we start by setting PHP's session behavior to use cookies only. This ensures PHP won't pay attention to a session ID if an attacker has put one in a URL.
Once the session is started, we set a value that will keep track of the last time a session ID was generated. By requiring a new one to be generated on a regular basis—every 30 seconds in this example—the opportunity for an attacker to obtain a valid session ID is dramatically reduced.
These two approaches combine to virtually eliminate the risk of session fixation. An attacker has a hard time obtaining a valid session ID because it changes so often, and because sessions IDs can only be passed in cookies, a URL-based attack is not possible.Finally, because we enabled the session.use_only_cookies setting, no session cookies will be left lying around in browser histories or in server referrer logs.

In this edition of Test Tuesday we are testing spray enamel. I am using Testors Spray Enamel in 1631 Gloss Custom Purple Metal Flake.
The spray enamel worked well on every single sample that was tested. I was unable to scratch any off of the surface of the Readi-Erase or Readi Water Resistant samples. There was no visible damage to the foam of the No Paper sample.
I recommend still testing any paints or enamels on a scrap piece of foam board before applying it to your project.

Malayalam movie 'ABCD' starring Dulquer Salman became a super hit. Now, the same movie is going to get remade in Telugu with the same title and Allu Sirish is playing the lead role in that film.
Directed by Sanjeev Reddy, Rukhsar Dhillon is playing the female lead in this movie. Today, the trailer of the movie got released and is currently trending on the Internet. The 2 minutes video is all about Sirish who is a brat born and brought up in America but has to live in poverty in India. Just like the Malayalam version the Telugu remake version also seems to have more comedy content and the trailer also hinted the same. The 2 minutes trailer video started showcased that the movie will give a laugh riot for the audience and has been receiving positive response from the audience.
Under the production banners of Big Ben Cinemas and Madhura Entertainments, Yash Rangineni and Madhura Sreedhar Reddy are bankrolling this project. Judah Sandhy is composing tunes for the film which is gearing up for a grand release on May 17th.

User Question/Comment:
This case was submitted by Dr Mona Sandhu. It is lightly edited for space and formatting.
25 year old female who has had PRK for -12Rx; Her chief complaint is blurry distance vision (has to squint all the time with glare and light sensitivity).
BCVA is 20/20 with a refraction of OD -0.25-0.25×035 and OS pl-0.25×135.
On fundus/OCT evaluation the foveal area is normal but she has an ERM OU causing para-foveal traction and what appears to be splitting in the retina.
How often do you see an ERM with traction? Do these cases warrant a referral to a retinal specialist?
Dr Lederer's Response:
Great case! As you point out the foveal region has excellent anatomy. It is the superior and inferior macula that has the interesting pathology. Specifically you note an epiretinal membrane with retinal schisis. There is also vitreous schisis (commonly referred to as vitreoschisis). All of these findings are in keeping with a myopic fundus. I remember seeing my first case of eccentric macular schisis and pondering at how interesting it was to only see it outside the fovea. I also remember when I first learned about vitreoschisis. It seemed so obvious in retrospect but until someone told me about the pathology I was always confused by the OCT. In your case you have both!
We could debate the terminology of classifying the interface pathology as it can be challenging to know if it is a schisis in an ERM or schisis in the vitreous but this would be a rather lengthy diatribe on semantics. In general we think of an ERM causing tangential pathology and the vitreous accounting for anterior-posterior tractional pathology.
As far as monitoring goes, the key for these cases is watching the foveal center. If the retinal schisis (not to be confused with peripheral retinoschisis) does not involve the foveal center (foveoschisis) then no treatment is typically required and monitoring alone is reasonable. In terms of an ERM, again there is no involvement to the foveal center so it too can be observed. Finally, in terms of the vitreous traction (most notably in the left eye), it too is eccentric and can be observed. This is a great case to highlight many different interface pathologies and I thank you so much for sharing!

Operation log. Where?
dev_group posted a topic in Protection for BusinessHello forum I would like to know if Kaspersky Admin Kit has some operation log ... I want to know what operations execute the admins on the Kaspersky Admint Kit, e.g. creation of Tasks, creation of Groups, addition/deletion/modification of PCs, etc ... My (not so a) problem is that we have 2 admin for Kaspersky and I want to know what they are doing ... Is there a log for this? Thanks
I was checking the admin kit again for a possible solution to this error, and I noticed that the Download update task of the ROOT server was running for a LONG period of time ... let's say, for DAYS ... I tried to stopped manually and it came with an error: "The task cannot be stopped" (or something I restarted the service but still the task was running and could not be stopped I rebootted the server and the task was still running but I was able to stop it manually How is that possible? The wierd thing is that the clients (Kaspersky for Workstation) report that they are up to date
Using Admin Kit v184.108.40.2069
dev_group replied to rafahgomez's topic in Protection for BusinessI have looked at the image you posted and noticed something rare: Why the "PRINCIPAL\SQL"? ... I guess (although it can't be seen very well) that in that box you have to put the name of the server where to store the KAV's database, so I think that there is something wrong with it (due to the backslash character) ... you should review that, or I'm wrong?
The option selected in the CHILD servers is "Update source folder" with the path to the update source (In my case an FTP server, but I've tested a shared folder too) I've seen no option named "Update from master Kaspersky Administration Server" (where it is located?) Any idea?
And how can I do that? On the Update settings of the global update task there are only two options: through "Kaspersky Update Service" or through "Update source folder" ... I've been using the second one for the "child" servers through FTP (and Shared Folders) and it worked for a while, but then it stopped with weird errors ... and thats basically the problem ... I don't think that my scenario is the problem (I mean, is a classic setup: one from the Internet and the rest from the internal network through FTP, HTTP or Shared Folders). I guess that the problem is a misconfiguration in the Admin Kits on the childs servers ... but the thing I try to figure out is why it worked for about 2 weeks, and then, suddenly, stopped working? I was searching in the Internet (googling) and I found one guy who has the same problem and ask for a solution in the old forum form here, but he didn't get an answer .... I reproduce his request "Problem when updating AV database Hallo, i've problems while trying to update the av database with the automatically generated "Download updates task". This task has worked propperly for serveral days, but now it stops with status: FAILED. Error description is: "File operation failure". I can't find any difference between the actual configuration and the config of the last days. There were no changes at the server OS or anywhere else in our configuration. Someone any idea why this happened and how to solve this problem ? Best regards, Chris" The same problem as me ... that's the point
Oh, I guess that I was misinterpreted, sorry for that ... I think that the terms I used were wrong (father, childs, etc) ... The problem is NOT the clients ... I will explain the scenarios again A server machine (Windows Server 2003 SP1) with Admin Kit Server installed, a global update task downloading from Kaspersky Lab's Servers to a particular folder and an FTP server pointing to the same folder. This works fine. This one is the FATHER/ROOT in my hierarchy of updates 4 more server machines (Windows 2003 Server SP1) with Admin Kit Server installed, global update tasks downloading from the ONE ABOVE through FTP. These are the CHILDS/MIRRORS in my hierarchy of updates (I mean, one downloading from Kaspersky Lab's Servers and the rest of them downloading from it to avoid unnecessary internet bandwidth usage) The problem begins when one day, without any change, the 4 global update tasks from the "child" servers began to fail with errors like "File operation failure", "Download error" and "The source file was not found" These are the things I have reviewed and tested for a posible cause of the error: 1- Update destination folder permissions on every "child" server, and every thing is OK 2- Disk space and is OK 3- Access to the database and is OK 4- Change the update location by using the share folder instead of FTP 5- Change the update location by using HTTP instead of FTP 6- Manual update And the error still exists... Any idea? Is there a way of getting a detail error? (i.e exactly which file or operation fails) I hope to be more clear this time PD: Client machines (Windows XP SP2) with KAV 5 for Workstation update without any problem from the root server through FTP. The error is only with the "child" servers
Does anyone have any idea of the above?
Download update task failures
dev_group posted a topic in Protection for BusinessHi Well, my problem is a follow: I got several servers with Kaspersky Administratiob Server installed, one of them is updating from the Internet (your servers) and the rest of them are updating from an FTP server located in the first one ... The problem is that, one day, without any changes (not even windows patches) the "child" servers stopped the execution of "Download Update task" with the message "File operation error" ... The "father/root" server (which is updating from the Internet) is OK, the problem is with the ones updatng from it. I've reviewed the following things: 1- Update destination folder permissions on every "child" server, and every thing is OK 2- Disk space and is OK 3- Access to the database and is OK I've tried the following things: 1- Change the update location by using the share folder instead of FTP 2- Change the update location by using HTTP instead of FTP 3- Update manually None of them worked, the same problem Thanks

Set of Dumbells only...

Posted 23 March 2017 - 02:11 PM
Posted 18 April 2017 - 08:43 PM
As of now my latest addition to my gym is a pair of 25 lbs. dumbbells. I wonder why sports shops here like Toby's don't have 30 lbs-35 lbs. dumbbells. I remember Chris Sports used to have those, but they're the imported ones. Anyway, my next target would be to buy kettlebells. So far I have a barbell, adjustable bench, a pair of adjustable dumbbells, 16 lbs. dumbbells, 20 lbs. dumbbells, lat machine and of course the new 25 lbs pair as well as plates. I am planning to have a t-bar but I don't have the space for it anymore...

I have cardio machines---ellipticals and stationary bikes, plus some weights and abs exercise implements.
The most important component of my gym is the Audio-Visual system. It helps me not get bored with the supposed hours of grinding and sweating it out. I should finish at least one episode of TV series or an entire movie (40 mins to 2 hours work-out).
What I do not like in our regular paid gyms (FF, Golds, etc.) is the entertainment. Tops here would be FF before. You can rent VCDs, albeit with limited titles. It's still not the same though if you have total control of the equipment and have some privacy.
Posted 07 July 2017 - 12:14 AM
My home gym.
First, my barbell, adjustable bench and plates:
Next, my dumbbells and more plates (25 lbs., 20 lbs., 16 lbs. plus adjustable dumbbells):
And my lat machine (cables are frayed so not using it at the moment):

Guys, sino sa sa inyo ang may home gym/private gym? Do you invite some people over?
I don't invite people to my home gym or else it defeats the purpose of me having a home gym in the first place - privacy and exclusivity.
My wife also doesn't want other people seeing her work out.

Onion Inc. is an American multimedia news organization. It features satirical articles and reporting on international, national, and local news as well as an entertainment newspaper and website known as A.V. Club.
The Onion's articles comment on current events, both real and imagined. It parodies traditional newspaper and media features, such as editorials, man-on-the-street interviews, and stock quotes, as well as traditional newspaper layout and AP-style editorial voice. Much of its humor depends on presenting everyday events as newsworthy items, and by playing on commonly used phrases, as in the headline, "Drugs Win Drug War".
In addition, a second part of the newspaper is a non-satirical entertainment section called A.V. Club. A.V. Club features interviews and reviews of various newly released media, and other weekly features. The print edition also contains restaurant reviews and previews of upcoming live entertainment specific to cities where a print edition is published. The online incarnation of The A.V. Club has its own domain, includes its own regular features, A.V. Club blogs, reader forums/comments, and presents itself as a separate entity from The Onion itself.

First Time I Met The Blues
I was the victim of a crime on the mean streets of Chicago a few years ago.
I was reminded of this today when I came across a Youtube video of James Bay playing in Buddy Guy's "Legends" club. James is from where we live in Hitchin, Hertfordshire and it turns out that he's also a fan of the blues.
When we visited "The Windy City" in February 2006, we went to Buddy's club which is in downtown Chicago. We were staying at the Hard Rock Hotel, about a mile from Legends. Chicago is cold in February so we decided to drive over there in the car we'd rented.
Not knowing how rough the area was and not wanting to get mugged, Julie and I didn't take a purse or wallet. I just grabbed what I thought would be enough cash for the night and stuffed it in the pocket of my jeans.
When we got there, we noticed a little, open air, car park at the back of the club. A big black man in an overcoat waved us into the entrance lane. I wound down the window, he said "$10", I gave him the money, he gave me a printed ticket with a number on it, told me to place it on top of the dashboard and directed me to a vacant space. He even helped me back in the enormous Buick we'd rented, by standing against a wall and giving me hand signals.
We walked into the club and were shocked when we were asked for ID. The drinking age in the USA is 21. I was 41 at the time, Julie was 37! The bouncer wasn't having any of it. Our passports and driver's licences were back at the hotel. We had to drive back and get them.
Eventually we returned to the little car park at the back of the club with our passports. This time it was different, there were still plenty of spaces but the car park attendant was nowhere to be seen. Behind where he'd been standing was a large pay-and-display machine.
It cost me another $10 for a pay-and-display ticket. When I parked, I put the ticket on the top of the dash and removed the one the bloke had given me earlier. It was a raffle ticket.
I don't know how many people got conned that night but I know who won that raffle!
Craic on!

A new high rise is coming to the Orlando skyline and will have 300 for rent apartments and retail on the ground floor. The new residential high rise will be located in Orlando's Thornton Park District off Church Street. There are still a few hoops to jump through before this project is approved. The demand for housing is increasing as the market recovers. Highrises.com of Orlando is interested to see if there will be any new construction of "for sale" high rise condos in the next few years.

Specifically designed to support you through faster ebike tours, the Vaude eMoab Shirt is a jersey that focuses on keeping you cool when time is of the essence. It does this via ventilation in all the right places which allows plenty of breathable air to flow through the torso, wicking perspiration away from the torso for a dry and comfortable ride every time. At the same time, panels on the front of the jersey features highly effective windproofing which, together with the ventilation, provides temperature regulation that is second to none.
Not only does breathable comfort come first in the eMoab, but it's full of those little extras that makes it perfect for the discerning modern trail rider. The low cut back and silicone printing allows it to integrate with MTB shorts easily with plenty of grip, and the front zip makes it quick and easy to get in and out of. Finally, the back of the jersey features a small back pocket with a zip, perfect for keeping a phone safe as you ride.
Vaude are conscious of the effects that high quality clothing production can have on the world around us, and so they set up their Green Shape Label to take care in every step of the chain.

The Local Pour: The Dos and Don'ts of Wine and Food Festivals
The start of spring marks an important time for wine aficionados in Southern Oregon— festival season has begun! With the warmer weather, come wine and food shows throughout Oregon where visitors can taste, eat and drink some of the region's best products. Whether it is a weekend long event like The Oregon Chocolate Festival or A Taste of Ashland, or a smaller evening show or fundraising event, here are a few tips to get the most out of your wine festival experience.
DO – Have a plan
Festivals can be overwhelming with so many wineries packed into a small space. Find out which wineries are in attendance by visiting the festival's website prior to the event and planning out which wines you absolutely must try. In a perfect world, you would start with white wines, then red wines, and finish with dessert wines, to help delay palate fatigue. Try to work your way around the room trying white wines, and then moving to, and sticking with, red wines.
DON'T – Drink too much
Wine festivals are not the places to get smashed. Most people paid good money to come to the show and they do not want to watch you stagger around the event or find you asleep in the bathroom. Winery representatives will also appreciate if you are interested in what they are pouring, and will feel offended if thrust your glass in their face, saying, "I don't care, fill it with anything." That said wine and food shows can be a nice place to enjoy a tipple or two with friends in a safe, well-lit environment. Please remember to take a cab home or have a designated driver on hand.
DO – Ask questions
Winery staff in the booths are there to answer questions and help you find something you will like. There are no stupid questions in wine, so do not be afraid to ask if they have a style of wine you like, and anything else you might want to know. Even if a winery is not pouring your favorite type of wine, they should be able to suggest a similar style. Wine festivals are the perfect opportunity to try a wide variety of wines and find a new favorite.
DON'T – Monopolize the booth
Winery personnel would like nothing more than to discuss their wines and the industry with interested tasters all day, but with some festivals seeing hundreds of people in just a few hours, they cannot spend all their time with just one guest. Let the person pour you a sample and give it a swirl, sniff and taste. Feel free to discuss your perception of the wine with the people in the booth but if it is busy, you may have to step back to allow other people to taste and you can discuss the wine with your friends privately.

text: The average fruit size for Gala, Honeycrisp and Pink Lady in Winchester today is 13.19, 13.08 and 14.06 mm, respectively. Although 6-BA-carbaryl or NAA-carbaryl mixes can still be effective at this stage, thinning applications will not be possible during the rest of this week & weekend due to the rain. On the other hand, the thinning model predicts a carbohydrate surplus next week, making thinning a bit challenging. The recommended options for next week are: a) Increase the rate of thinning materials by 15-30% according to the model outputs (note: another update will be posted on my blog on Monday, May 13), b) Wait until your apples approach an appropriate size (19-25 mm) for rescue thinning applications.

Prediction: Irreversible Damage
An actuarial prediction for January 2017: Our next President will face a job that needs to be done with a public workforce against which irreversible damage will have been committed during the 8 years of the Obama Administration.
Supplemental prediction: not a single item on the Administration's current to do list will be successfully accomplished.
Two years ago, I predicted trouble ahead. Now already today, concrete adverse effects are beginning to show up. Good talent is leaving public service and new talent is increasingly difficult to attract. Badly needed projects are being permanently shelved. Public employees are finding it difficult if not impossible to get the training they need to stay abreast of developments and are being restricted against properly educating the public. Existing laws are being left with little or no enforcement, while what little new law Congress is putting into place lacks adequate government resources to administer. None of these developments are minor, isolated anomalies — they are the very real fast-receding ocean presaging an unavoidable tsunami. Before the end of the Obama Administration, we will have a Federal workforce that is not fully functional for any of the duties expected by the public.
Would the Tea Party or any ultra-conservatives who claim to want "small government" at any cost find this all to be cause for celebration? I find it sadly indicative that the website for the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum emblazons its home page with a banner proudly proclaiming one of President George H.W. Bush's most enduring legacies – "Promoting Public Service." OK, perhaps President George H.W. Bush was not the darling of conservatives, but while Presidents Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and other Republican presidents made progress in giving us an efficient government, it took the supposedly "socialistic, big-government" Obama to destroy the respect and value of public service as has been done these past six years. And Obama's own decisions deserve complete blame — the damage has not come at the hands of Congress, the Tea Party nor any other decision-maker.
Irreparable damage to public service will be Obama's most enduring legacy. Our children's children's children will be seeing adverse effects that historians will find easy to trace back to these 8 years.
The White House seeks input on what should get accomplished during the next two years. Characteristic of its disregard for the Federal workforce, President's Bush's "Promoting public service" is not one of the items even on Obama's radar. Regretfully, not a single one of the items the White House does list as a possible initiative has any hope of getting accomplished with a Federal workforce that is in decline and that has to "work" under a President who just doesn't give a damn.

By Randy Whetstone Jr.
After a crushing state championship loss to West Jessamine last fall, Sacred Heart learned what it means to be resilient. Through their hard work in training and their impressive execution throughout each game, the Valkyries (15-2) have found themselves atop the seventh region once again. For a group of girls who are already passionate about winning and being their very best, a state championship loss became just the push they needed to stay motivated and hungry.
"We do a lot of reflection in our program," says Head Coach Jaclyn Puntillo. "We watch a lot of film and we talk a lot about what we did well, but mostly focus on the areas we can improve upon. When you're constantly thinking about what you could have done better, it's hard to become complacent."
Sacred Heart knows there isn't any room for error. With their rich tradition and a sacred culture that prides itself on success, teams are always giving them their best shot. Now that postseason play is here, the Valkyries will look to take it up a notch in their quest at redemption and a chance to avenge their state championship loss.
When you walk into a Sacred Heart practice or attend one of their games, you will see a team full of passionate individuals who are also passionate about one another. "They don't play for themselves as individuals; they play for the team so they are always trying their best for their teammates," Puntillo adds.
Having coached different athletes year in and year out, even Coach Puntillo admits she has learned a lot from this program during her tenure. "I'm decent at my job because one of my greatest strengths is that I care about my players on a human level," she adds. "I have a very strong sense of loyalty to them, and I always want to do whatever is in my power to help them reach their goals both on and off the field."
Sacred Heart is dominant on the field, but it also translates into everyday life. If you were to wonder how this soccer program views or defines success, it would be easy to point to their win column over the years. However, for them, ultimate success is not weighed by wins alone. "We are preparing our players for their next journey, whether that's playing soccer or not. We want to turn out players who know how to be a part of a team, who know how to manage their time and stress, who feel confident in a variety of situations," Puntillo adds.
A defining moment came when Coach Puntillo saw her team rally around recent graduates and their families affected by deaths in their family. As kids came to her office, questioning her about life's calamities, it was in those moments that she gained a greater perspective as a coach.
"For so long, so much of my life has been wrapped up in what happens on the field—as a player and now as a coach—but in the grand scheme of things, the wins and losses don't matter. What matters is the community that we've created, the really good people that come out of Sacred Heart and our program and the support system that is available to these players long after they're in the program."
As the team prepares for the postseason, they know they cannot overlook the seventh region with teams like Manual, Assumption, Male and CAL all staring them down. The Valkyries will rely heavily on Lexie Wagner, who emerged as a premier leader and athlete on the roster. As a sophomore, you may not have associated the word captain with Lexie, who Coach Puntillo says has certainly earned and embraced the role quite well.
"Lexie has always been one of our hardest workers, but she has really matured as a player in the last year and has provided some really essential positive leadership within our team. She also is very comfortable acting as a liaison between the players and me, letting me know when they need more rest or need to be pushed a little harder."
Lexie will be leading the troops, as they look to claim state champion honors once again. Sacred Heart won the state title back in 2015, and Puntillo says if the team can stay healthy and focused, she thinks "we will be in good shape."

Mr. Chairman, Ladles and Gentlemen, Fellow -Democrats: With the Inspiring strains of that national song still ringing In our ears, who can doubt the issue of this campaign? That Issue has been well stated by your pn.-sldlng officer. Stripped, us he says, of all verbal disguise, It Is an issue of common honesty: itn issue between the Honest discharge and the dishonest re pudlatlon ol' public and private obligations. It Is a question as to wlR'ther the powers ot this government shall bo used to protect honest industry or to tempt the citizen to dishonesty. On this question honest men cannot differ. It Is one of morals and of Justice. It Involves the existence of social order. It Is the contest for civilization Itself, If It be disheartening to democrats u.id the lovera of free Institutions to find an Issue of this character projected Into a presidential campaign, this, meeting furnishes us wltli an Inspiring truth of how fhat Issue wll! be met by the people. A. democratic con ventlon may renounce the democratic faith, but the democracy remain* faithful to democratic principles. Democratic lenders may betray a convention to the populists, but they cannot seduce the footsteps of democratic, voters from the pathway of honor and of Justice. A candidate bearing the mandate of a democratic convention may In* thin hall open a canvas leveled against the foundations of social order, and he beholds the. democratic masses confronting him on the ground of defense. Mr. Bryan Criticised. Wb xvould look In vain through the speech delivered hero t-ne weelt ago to find a true Statement r-f th-3 :ssue involved in this canvass. Indoud. 1 bel!ev<< it Is doubtful if the candidate himself quite understands tho nature of tl-<). I'nich wtiien lio professes, I say this not In criticism of his ability, but In Justice- to his morality. I believe that if he himself understood the inevitable consequences of the doctrines which he preaches that his own Imnds would bo the very first to tear down the platform on Which he stands.- But there was one statement In that Bpeoch which wus very free from ambiguity, pregnant with hope and confidence to the lovera of order. He professes his un- qiies'tloned ticllef In the honesty of the American niaiisen, and he quoted Abraham Lincoln In .support of the faith, that was iri"hlm.

In the'tlmo to which I must confine myself to-night I can do nothing but examine that one question which Mr. Bryan him- eelf declares to. bo tho overshadowing 1s- suo of this campaign. I am a little puzzled when I read this speech to decide Just what Mr. Bryan himself Imagines will bo tho fruit of a chance In tho standard of value throuirhout'the courtry. ' . '• '•';-. I will Imagine that-Mr. Bryan Himself may bellevs:-that in .aonno.way.or other ho li going to-"benefit the tollers of this country. He says'he Is, but he (Jecllnos.to show us how. For my part, I am willing- to Btato hero'.that if Mr, Bryan could.show.., me that by any means.known to Heaven or earth and revealed to the comprehension of man--that wagos could be Increased, I will bo',ready to support him here and now.... Where' the ruto of wages lahlgh there;muet be prosperity. Where the rate of wag-ear Is low there must be distress.. If, then, Mr. Bryan can show me that by enforcement of any part of his programme wages will bo Increased In this country, I will not'only support him, but I will recognize him as the wisest orator that ever opened his mouth on a platform slnco the beginning of the world. J'urpoBC of the PopnllHtn. It Is perfectly clear that tho purpose ol tho populiate te to put up the prices of certain -commodities; Mr. Bryan's language Is that he Is going to Improve the conditions of the people of this country, I do not suppose he claims that he can multiply tho number of chairs upon this .plat- 1 form or upon this floor, although ho has shown his capacity to empty them. If he Is going to'work any change In the conditions of men he must Increase the material possession of eome part of the community. Now, .if he got -possession of the government to-morrow, he would not create one single thing of value by any exerel<30 of governmental power In the world. .No. It requires the,labor.c-f man,.aid the hiti-r of man alone, to'create v--' 'i.

Would be, exactly In. the sume place we occupied bjfore, Therefore, II Is fair to assume trjtt Is not Ihd lame and Impotent conclusion yi'hlch the nopullf revolution contemplates. What, then, la It7 It In an increasi*. In the price gf commodities find allowing •labor to shift for itself. If the price oi commodities be Increased and the price ol labor be left stationary, why, that means a cutting down of the rates of wages. If, Instead of a dollar which consists of a given quantity of gold equal to a hundred cents anywhere In the world, with the purchasing power of 100 cents, the laborer Is to .bo paid In dollars worth 50 cents each, . why, ho can only buy half as much with a . day's watrcs as he buys now. - . ' Ftict* for 'WaKC-Eanuirr*. Wage-earners, Mr. Bryan says, know that' while n, sold .standard raises the purchasing power of the dollar It also mn.kea It more dllHcult to obtain possession of that dollar. They know that employment H less permanent, loss of w&rlv more probable aiid. 1 reemploymcnt Iras certain. If that means anything, it meana that a cheap dollar would give him more employment, more frequent .employment, mon; work, rind a chance to get reemploymcnt after he WHS dlschurR-ed. If. that menus anything, It rne;u)3 that iC the laborer Is willing to have 'the''wages cut down he will get more work. But a diminution In the rate of. wages doo-* not increase the scope of employment. The-rnorc abundant the product the higher (he wages. There cannot b<j an abundant product unless labor is extensively em- ploye'fl. Mr. Bryan would have you be- 'llc'vo-that prosperity is ;idvanc*.-Ll by chonp- cnlnjr the rate of wages, but tin. 1 fall In the 'rate of wages always comes from a narrow 'production, and narrow production means .that- there Is little demand for labor In the 'market.

Senator Ent- Jer is favorably impressed with Ihc location, and in view of the fact that there will be more or less of unity of action by the democrats and populists, it is believed that Chairman Butler will accept the offer. Chairman Untler de nied that any pool ing-arrangement for the circulation ol literature had been or would be arranged between the democrats and populists, but admitted thai they would work together in the utmost harmony. It was decided by the committee Tuesday night that there should be one head foi- t.lie'populist executive committee and the congressional committee, nnd Senator Butler will, therefore, preside o-.-er nil the work. The labors of. the representative committees will, however, be divided and will continue along the lines already established.

"Men who honestly differ upon the paramount public questions cannot afford to bo harmonized by a national convention.

Almost one- half of the letter was revised. Maj. McKinley is a very conservative, careful man,ajid he made many changes nnd corrections on the proof sheets, sometimes cutting a whole sentence r,d in other places adding a paragraph. The letter will be finished by the end> of the week if Maj. McKinley does not have too many interruptions. He does not expect to publish his letter before the end of the month, so he feels that there is no reason to be in haste about finishing it.

I've been going to all kinds of fan conventions since 2014. I've been to local comic cons, retrogaming cons, weird random tiny conventions, and even New York Comic Con. The first ever convention I ever went to was Tekko, which is an anime convention held every year in Pittsburgh. I've been to the past six Tekkos and after this year I decided that I was done going to Tekko.
And that makes sense. Most of the panels are run by random fans who are just gushing about their favorite cartoon with a title and a premise that sounds vaguely academic. But they're basically all college powerpoints.
Some of them can be well done, interesting, and informative. But a lot of them are crap. I went to one that was just some guy showing off videos that can easily be found on YouTube. Like he showed off every Kamen Rider transformation scene and then a 20 minute video tribute to Kamen Rider. And at the end, he had the audacity to have a Q&A session. Like, dude, what are we gonna ask you?
Someone else did a panel on the new Digimon movies but he just summarized the plots and showed off all the fight scenes - without subtitles - while explaining what was happening on screen.
I think the year I was on staff they didn't even do it. I'm pretty sure they couldn't get Funimation to give them an exclusive dub premiere. But... who cares? You got a Funimation, just show literally any one of their recent movies. The Boy and the Beast had just come out. It wasn't an exclusive premiere but I'm sure a lot of Tekko attendees hadn't seen it. Or they could've shown the new Dragon Ball Z movie that came out that year. The one where Frieza came back. That would've been sweet.
In the morning.
Could you imagine staying at Tekko until the middle of the night because it's the only spot they'd give to a panel related to your random niche anime like Dinosaur King or Ronin Warriors? And then it turns out it's just some guy with a power point talking about how cool Ronin Warriors is.
Let's look at some other rules from the Artist Alley application.
"Proxy selling is NOT permitted, you CANNOT sell merchandise on another Artist's behalf. If you and another Artist collaborated on any merchandise together, you must apply together on the application and subsequently be selling at the same table(s) if accepted."
"All work sold within the Artist Alley must have artistic merit and be YOUR OWN works. Anything resembling bootlegs, official merchandise, copying another Artist's work,, etc is expressly prohibited. Fan art is OK to sell"
Also, the logo is meaningless. An anime convention's logo doesn't have to have an anime eye where the O is or an anime catgirl with a cup of ramen and a samurai sword. It can just be the name in a fun font. That's all it needs to be. Tekko's logo - for no known reason - is a pair of wings. It doesn't look like an anime convention it looks like an airline or something. This year they incorporated the wings into the design of their mecha mascot… but he's not Mario so it's not like someone is gonna see the logo and think, "Oh, the Tekkobot wings. This must be Tekko."
Like there's nothing wrong with being a fan of anime or dressing up as your favorite character. I don't personally care for cosplay myself, but it's part of the experience and it's always nice to see creative and impressively made cosplays. I don't even care if you're cosplaying a different race or whatever.
But walking around and butchering the Japanese language by spouting catchphrases in a racist , broken English accent? Having all these panels about how great the culture is even though you've only ever experienced it in a cartoon?
Cosplaying as a fictional character is one thing but I always see people in like "generic Japanese person" cosplay. Like they just wear a kimono or a Japanese schoolgirl uniform and call it cosplay. Would you wear an American prep school uniform to a Western comic con? Or like a high school football jersey with the pads. "Oh, you're 60s Batman? Cool, I'm cosplaying an American." Do you think Japanese people wear school uniforms to anime conventions in Japan? I mean I guess if they're coming from school they would.
Sure you could probably make this argument about any anime convention, but Tekko is acting like they're providing a beneficial service to the community.
No wonder people only want to go for one day.

Mohammed bin Zayed ... The Man who loves Egypt
Every day, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed shows his love for Egypt with warmth feelings.
I still remember his words at our first meeting in 2009. It was in a conference of counterterrorism leaders, which held outside the United States, and Abu Dhabi was the chosen destination.
Sheikh Mohammed welcomed and took us in a tour to see a show for the UAE Special Forces. He has asked me an ironic question "Are not you will stop supporting the Brotherhood? In fact, I was stunned for a moment, I said to myself perhaps His Highness does not know my name and I remained silent for a moment until he laughed, and tell me I know you well but I am just joking with you.
With his words he broke the ice between us and I later considered that Sheikh Mohammed has a special ability to enter your heart easily.
In the evening, His Highness invited me to meet with him, we have talk about Egypt and Brotherhood.
"The appetite of this terrorist organization will not stop for a moment in Egypt; they will try again and again. But we will do our utmost to prevent them because I believe that Egypt is the "pillar of the tent" for the Arab nation if it fell the whole area will fell" His Highness told me.
Thus, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed considers Egypt. Of course, I will not talk about his love for the Egyptians. Who went to the UAE will realize the Emirati's appreciation for Egyptians as professors, teachers, engineers and doctors who contributed to the renaissance of the entire Gulf region.
After 30 June, we formed a popular delegation of Egyptian nationalists to meet HH Sheikh Mohammed and thank him for what he did personally, and what the UAE did for Egypt and the Egyptians. We went to thank him but he kept thank us for what we did to defense of the Arab nation. So he said to us: You did not only defend your country, you also defended the whole nation, "if the pillar of the tent falls, God forbid, the whole Arab world will fell".
In this short space, I will not be able to enumerate what Sheikh Mohammed did to Egypt and the Egyptians and his strong friendship with Al Sisi. But I just wanted to salute him as an Egyptian citizen for what he did yesterday when he opened the donation to Egypt's National Cancer Institute. To send a message that Egypt and the UAE is "one hand", in the face of all dangers, foremost of which is the threat of terrorism.

Rocket Entertainment and Universal Music Group (UMG), the world leader in music-based entertainment announced a significant new agreement to provide Elton John, one of music's most iconic artists and the most successful male solo artist in US Billboard chart history, the industry's best resources and expertise across recorded music, music publishing and licensing rights.
The partnership not only means that UMG represents the entirety of Elton John's legendary creative output throughout his extraordinary five-decade career, but also will see UMG's labels globally release all of Elton John's new music for the rest of his career going forward.
The multi-faceted agreement marks the beginning of a new era of expanded collaboration between Elton John and UMG and significantly expands their global business partnership. The long-term commitment also includes the publishing rights to his iconic songwriting catalog to be administrated by Universal Music Publishing Group long into the future. Bravado, UMG's brand-management, and merchandise company will work closely with Rocket to expand and develop global merchandising, branding and retail licensing opportunities around Elton's Farewell Yellow Brick Road world tour and catalog.
In making the announcement, Elton John said, "In UMG we've got the perfect partners to support all aspects of my creative endeavour. Lucian, Jody, David and the UMG family share the values that we hold dear – nurturing artistry, restless creativity, and innovation. I'm proud and delighted to have them stand alongside me as I embark on the next phase of my career"
Working with David Furnish, CEO of Rocket Entertainment, UMG will leverage its unique combination of global reach, creative and commercial expertise, and renowned marketing and promotional support to ensure Elton John's current releases, alongside his rich songwriting and recorded music catalogs, are continually introduced to new generations of fans, and that his music's cultural impact expands through innovative campaigns in countries around the world.
David Furnish, CEO of Rocket Entertainment, said, "Elton's hunger and desire to push himself creatively and collaborate with the best, most exciting creatives in the world are as great as ever, and Universal fully shares our vision to keep Elton at the forefront of popular culture."
David Joseph, Chairman & CEO of Universal Music UK, said, "We adore working with Elton, naturally because he's one of the greatest artists in the world with songs which connect with every generation, but also for his unrivalled support and championing of new artists. Since David became CEO of Rocket, he's brought a new energy and perspective which has made our partnership more ambitious, innovative and collaborative than it has ever been."
Since becoming CEO of Rocket Entertainment in 2015, Furnish has fostered an ever-closer working partnership with UMG.
