Datical provides a complementary solution for packaging, validating and deploying database schema changes in support of application delivery. Datical easily integrates code changes into a master copy, ensuring the master matches production dependencies so apps can be tested and migrated to production more quickly and with less risk.
The combined offering enables application teams to treat their databases like codebases: Users can create branches at different points in time, check out multiple copies and work on them independently, and seamlessly check in the code changes for automated validation and deployment. As a result, application teams can cut project schedules in half while delivering better production code than they could previously.
The Delphix and Datical joint solution is available today.
Delphix and Datical will provide more details about the partnership in a joint webinar Aug. 5, 2015 at 9:30 a.m. PDT. Kyle Hailey, Delphix technical evangelist, and Robert Reeves, Datical chief technology officer, will demonstrate how to dramatically improve data management for application development, testing and delivery.

In San Francisco planning for a panel discussion and showing of the Catherine Crouch's film The Gendercator is becoming almost as contentious as the film itself. Organized by Ondine Kilker and Sarah Deragon, the co-chairs of Center Women Present, a women's programming initiative at the San Francisco LGBT Community Center, the October 26th event is meant to provide a venue for viewing and discussing the film that was pulled from Frameline Film Festival after protests for being "transphobic".
During the September 20th planning meeting attendees decided to limit panelists to "locals." A number of reasons were given for this, including the feeling that out of towners would not remain part of the community follow-up conversations after the October 26th event.
This decision effectively barred queer theorist and female masculinity expert Judith Jack Halberstam from the panel. As the scholar had already made travel plans and purchased tickets, Halberstam--and a number of others--felt dis-invited or kicked off the panel.
Halberstam responded to the discussion by email, setting out what she would bring to the discussion and asking, "Why not just host the panelists you want rather than imposing a weird "local" stipulation (meaning what? tax paying? long term resident? registered to vote? member of the local republican party?)?"
Further contention revolved around Susan Stryker the renown trans historian who is much loved in the San Francisco Bay Area and considered part of that community despite the fact that she currently lives and works in Vancouver, Canada. Some members of the planning group want to hold strictly to the "local" decision and would prefer Stryker remove herself from the panel, while others want to extend the local moniker to include the long time bay area resident, regardless of where she now resides.
Stryker responded, "If there is a screening and panel discussion about the Gendercator I will speak on it if, according to the criteria set out bythe group, my participation is deemed appropriate, and the criteria for my inclusion are fairly and equitably applied."
It remains to be seen how these issues will play out and what others may rise before the October 26th event.

The organizers of the planning group that is bringing The Gendercator to San Francisco for a panel discussion asked me (the blog's author) to clarify their perspective on the events that transpired.
Particularly, they indicate that although Judith/Jack Halberstam was one of many considered for the panel, they never promised Halberstam a spot.
identity, sexual orientation, age-range, academia, etc."
For my part, if I did make it sound like the organizers were at fault, or that Halberstam was in fact disinvited, I appologize.

<issue_start><issue_comment>Title: Not a fan of the main class only being called Client
username_0: Perhaps not an issue... but I would prefer if the class was called something a bit more specific.

Also not a fan of my old(est) password being in the database 13 times. 😢
<issue_comment>username_1: The code was written quite fast, and my initial commit had publics and privates all screwed up.

I thought the name `Client` would be an accurate name, since it is a client. But I see your point.

How about `PasswordTester.Password.Test("password")`? (Full namespace included for clarity).
<issue_comment>username_0: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe. 

Or maybe
PasswordTesterClient? (maybe too long?)
PwTestClient? (too cryptic?)
PassCheckClient?
PasswordClient?
TroyHuntClient?
WillIBePwndClient?

I don't know :| Names are hard.
<issue_comment>username_1: I love "WillIBePwndClient", but I think it must be a bit shorter...😊

"PasswordTesterClient" is a bit long, but maybe something different, like "PasswordLookup" and rename the method to "Lookup"?<issue_closed>Earl Flores Jr. installs new Legacy Bricks around the Plaza de Mexico fountain at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
11/14/16
Del Mar, CA … Pondering what to buy that special someone this holiday? The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation offers a gift as special and unique as your recipient: a customized Brick permanently installed at the Del Mar Fairgrounds’ Legacy Fountain.
Prices begin at just $150. A replica Brick can also be purchased to embellish home or office. Information and secure online purchase are at.
A Legacy Brick personalized with text and/or images not only commemorates a person or occasion; it also enshrines the recipient in the rich, iconic history of the Fairgrounds, and San Diego. The San Diego County Fair harks back to the 1880s; the Fairgrounds to the 1930s; the Don Diego Scholarship Foundation to 1986.
Hundreds of Legacy Bricks decorate the pathway to the Fountain. Together, they tell a story of cherished family times, great days at the Fair and (“Thank you, Zenyatta!”) memorable racetrack wins. We invite you to add your chapter to the ongoing story.
According to Don Diego Executive Director Chana Mannen, the brick purchase is a tax-deductible donation. She states, “What better way to help Don Diego celebrate our 30th anniversary than by enabling us to continue building.It was big news when the much-beloved radio program "This American Life" made the leap to television. Thanks to the infusion of attention (and, presumably, cash) from Showtime, Ira Glass and his cohorts also made their podcast available for free (three cheers!), refreshed their site (huzzah!), and encouraged "beloved producer and beleaguered music supervisor" Jane Feltes to blog about the tunes they use on the boob-tube version. This might be the coolest thing nobody knows about the show. Every Thursday after an episode airs, Jane recounts how they decided on the music and how she nearly had a nervous breakdown making it happen. Each post ends up being a surprisingly dramatic behind-the-scenes look at TV production and the "yelling/begging/whining" that goes into licensing soundtracks. Plus, as anyone familiar with "This American Life" knows, their music is great..If you need a little extra room in your house for your family to be more comfortable and you already have a patio, consider having the patio enclosed. Depending on the type of enclosure you choose, you could use it as an extra room during the summer or all seasons of the year. A patio enclosure builder can help you choose the right enclosure for your needs. Here are some ideas.
If your patio doesn't have a roof yet, you'll need to choose one for your enclosure. You might want an extension of your existing roof to keep the look uniform, but you could also choose a clear glass roof, a flat roof that doubles as a deck, or even a screen roof. However, a solid roof is ideal if you want to use the room when it's raining and keep furniture on the patio.
You might want a screen enclosure for the purpose of keeping bugs out of the space so you can sit outside without fighting mosquitoes and flies. You might prefer an enclosure made of
