In this episode we define migrations, rollbacks, and discuss how Netlify was able to migrate to Kubernetes and roll back off of it multiple times without impacting their users. David explains how developers can run old and new systems simultaneously, the importance of defining errors in your system, and when to apply fixes vs rolling back. We also discuss their decision to move to Kubernetes, and the benefits they received.

Shannon Selbert, co-founder of Soren and developer of Oban, and Parker Selbert, creator of the Oban background job framework, chief architect at dscout, and co-founder of Soren, speak with SE Radio host Gavin Henry about robust job processing in Elixir. They explore the reliability, consistency, and observability in relation to job processing, to understand how Oban, Elixir, and PostgreSQL deliver them.

The Selberts describe why Oban was created, its history, which parts of the Elixir ecosystem they use, and why this would not be possible without PostgreSQL and Elixir. They discuss the lessons learned in the 5 years since the first release, as well as use cases, job throughput, the hardest problem to solve so far, workers, queues, CRON, distributed architectures, retry algorithms, just-once methodologies, the reliability the beam brings, consistency across nodes, how PostgreSQL is vital, telemetry data, best use cases for Oban, and the most common issues that new users face.

Young people in Albania say NO to corruption

By feeds.osce.org
Published On :: Fri, 24 Jun 2016 11:57:35 +0000

Joana Karapataqi, OSCE Presence in Albania

The OSCE Presence in Albania held a ceremony on 22 June 2016 to award winners of a national essay competition for high school and university students called Young People Say NO to Corruption.

The three main winners, equally awarded, were Albion Bylykbashi from the Tirana Polytechnic University, as well as Arjeta Zenelaj and Keti Gjipali from Tirana University. Their essays have been chosen as the best among more than 100 entries and their prize is an opportunity to participate in Transparency International’s Summer School on Corruption in July 2016. Seven runners-up were also awarded and will take part in a study tour to visit institutions involved in the fight against corruption in Albania and experience first-hand their work and the way they co-operate with each other to fight corruption.

Attending the event were Acting Head of OSCE Presence in Albania, Robert Wilton, and National Anticorruption Co-ordinator, Minister for Local Government Issues Bledi Çuçi.

Wilton said that the Albanian authorities cannot win the fight against corruption on their own: “They need the energy and passion of young, dedicated people to make big changes in mentality and practice that are necessary to stamp out corruption.”

Çuçi said that in order to win the battle against corruption, the healthy parts of the society should find each other and heal the parts affected by corruption. He said, he was impressed by the level of discussions in a series of OSCE-organized awareness-raising lectures on anti-corruption in high schools and public universities across the country that preceded the essay competition.

The essay competition and anti-corruption lectures were part of a wider OSCE project supporting anti-corruption measures in Albania. This effort is funded by the Italian Development Cooperation, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the Italian National School of Public Administration.

Albania justice reform adoption welcome, says OSCE Presence in Albania

By feeds.osce.org
Published On :: Fri, 22 Jul 2016 12:22:34 +0000

TIRANA, 22 July 2016 – The OSCE Presence in Albania welcomes the Assembly’s adoption today of the set of constitutional amendments aimed at reforming the justice sector. We commend the Assembly for this fundamental achievement, which was supported tangibly by many international experts and diplomats.

It is an important milestone, paving the way for the implementation of a meaningful justice reform. The amendments adopted today must now be cascaded down through the primary and secondary legislation, the procedures and policies of the entire judicial system. Reform is not genuine until it is felt by Albanian citizens in their daily lives, across the country.

The manner in which the reform package is implemented is essential for the sustainability and the success of the reform process. Sustainability and success also depend on a change in attitudes: establishing a culture of responsibility and accountability, countering impunity and consolidating respect for the rule of law at all levels of society. 

The OSCE Presence has been a committed contributor and partner of the reform process so far and stands ready to continue its active support at all levels.

TRAMA, de Carlos Alberto Montaner (Plaza & Janés)

By unaplagadeespias.blogspot.com
Published On :: Fri, 18 Oct 2024 16:27:00 +0000

Título: Trama
Autor: Carlos Alberto Montaner (1943-2023)
Cubierta: Fabo
Editor: Plaza & Janés Editores (Barcelona)
Edición: 1ª ed.
Fecha de edición: 1987-09
Descripción física: 268 p.; 15,5x21,5 cm.: solapas
Serie: Plaza & Janés literaria
ISBN: 978-84-01-38111-9 (84-01-38111-8)
Depósito legal: B. 27.266-1987
Estructura: 6 capítulos con varios subcapítulos cada uno, epílogos
Información sobre impresión:
Impreso en HUROPE, S.A. - Recaredo, 2 - Barcelona
 
Información de contracubierta:
Sería perfectamente posible resumir en un párrafo la historia de Trama, pero no es conveniente. En la novela hay un elemento de suspense que se debe disfrutar hasta el final.
Sin embargo, queremos advertir que los dramáticos sucesos relatados transcurrieron real y secretamente a fines del siglo pasado en Alemania, Jamaica, Chicago, Nueva York, Madrid, La Habana y París. (Algunas consecuencias de aquellos hechos todavía perduran.)
Pero hay más: Trama es también una novela de amor. Sólo que de amor entre tres —dos hombres y una mujer— lo que complica morbosamente el relato.
Y es una novela policíaca, porque contiene todos los elementos básicos del género: el crimen, los criminales, las pistas y el infatigable detective.
Y es una novela de aventuras, en la que cada capítulo depara un suceso sorprendente, aumenta un grado la ansiedad del lector y lo precipita hacia el siguiente.
Y es una novela sicológica, porque los personajes principales comparecen con personalidades bien definidas y características diferentes.
Pero —además— es una gran novela a secas. Un libro escrito con una prosa ceñida, transparente, siempre al servicio de la carpintería interior de la obra, lo que explica que, una vez leída, no sea fácil olvidarse de la historia ni de sus protagonistas principales.
 
Información de solapas:
Carlos Alberto Montaner nació en La Habana en 1943. Desde 1970 reside en Madrid. Ha publicado once libros. Trama es su segunda novela. La primera, Perromundo (1972), cuenta con varias ediciones en diferentes países —dos de ellas en Plaza & Janés— fue llevada al cine en 1979. Tiene dos libros de relatos: Poker de brujas (1969) e Instantáneas al borde del abismo (1970). Entre sus libros de ensayo se destacan Informe secreto sobre la revolución cubana (1975), 200 años de gringos (1976), De la literatura considerada como una forma de urticaria (1980), Fidel Castro y la revolución cubana (1980) —también publicado por Plaza & Janés—, El ojo del ciclón (1981), Cuba: claves para una conciencia en crisis (1982) y Para un continente imaginario (1985). Montaner ha sido profesor de literatura en la Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico. Semanalmente, desde 1968, publica una columna periodística en más de medio centenar de diarios de España, América Latina y los Estados Unidos, país este último en el que se reproduce en castellano e inglés. Se le ha calificado como «uno de los más influyentes y leídos periodistas en el ámbito del idioma». Habitualmente hace comentarios para la televisión de varios países de América Latina y de los Estados Unidos.

This video was inspired by the tragic story and images of Albatross chicks on Midway Island in the Pacific dying slow and agonizing deaths due to ingested plastics consumed in error by the seabirds. It was produced by Skeleton Sea, a group of surfers who have created a green art project that promotes clean oceans, respect for nature and human rights. The artists use the flotsam washed up on beaches to create their art.
In February 2012, Skeleton Sea held an art workshop in Sanya, China in association with the Volvo Ocean Race during its stop-over. The group presented its work, "Presents of the Sea" to the Serenity Marina Sailing School where it will remain on permanent exhibition.
