There's An App That Will Show You Unplowed Roads In Your Area
The crowd-sourced navigation app Waze has had quite a year in 2019. First, it brought the voice of Sesame Street's Cookie Monster to its turn-by-turn direction service. Now, as winter starts to throw some nasty weather across many parts of the U.S., Waze is adding an important feature that will report icy road conditions and unplowed roads to help keep drivers informed and safe.
Waze developed the app update as part of its Waze for Cities Data program, and in partnership with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), as a way to help drivers stay safe in ever-changing weather conditions. And on its end, VDOT can use the data collected from Waze users to improve its own wintertime operations.
"We value our partnership with Waze, and look forward to monitoring the real-time reports on road conditions and determining how best to incorporate the data into our future operations," VDOT chief deputy commissioner Rob Cary said in a press release.
After testing the program in Virginia, Waze knew this service would be useful for the app's 130 million users across the country.

"Our work with the Virginia Department of Transportation on the development of the 'Unplowed Road' feature perfectly exemplifies what can be accomplished when we collaborate with public sector partners to meet community needs," Dani Simons, head of public sector partnerships at Waze, said in the press release.
The new feature is already included in the updated version of the Waze app. When using Waze, drivers will see a snowflake icon on their display with "unplowed road" written beside it to indicate poor driving conditions ahead.
Additionally, if drivers see an unplowed road that has not been reported, they can also report the hazardous conditions for others to see.
So, make sure your smartphone apps are up to date and get ready to hit the road safely!


Ever growing resistance of pathogenic bacteria against the existing antibiotics has forced researchers to look for new methods and techniques to design effective antimicrobial agents. In the present study a new tetracycline-based antimicrobial polymer (AMP) was synthesized from tetracycline and methacrylic acid (MAAc) using lipase as catalyst. The AMP, thus obtained, was transformed into nanoparticles via an emulsion method. The AMP and its nano-form were characterized by FTIR, NMR, XRD, SEM and EDAX. The antibacterial activity of the AMP was studied against both resistant (-) [P. aeruginosa] and susceptible (+) [S. aureus] bacteria. The synthesized AMP, including its nanoform, was observed to be more potent and efficient antimicrobial agent than the precursor tetracycline.

Q: How to check Internet connection using Inno Setup I'm learning about Inno Setup to make a simple installer. I need to download a file from a website during the installation, so it's important check if there is Internet connection. How can I check or take some alert to connect Internet during the process of the installation?
Thanks!

A: The best check is to try to actually download the file.
"Internet" is hardly a real thing that you can connect to. So it's hard to test, if you are connected to "Internet". You actually do not need a connection to "Internet", you need a connection to your server. So test that.

  Connected: Boolean;
begin
  Connected := False;
  repeat
    Log('Checking connection to the server');
    try
      WinHttpReq := CreateOleObject('WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1');
      { Use your real server host name }
      WinHttpReq.Open('GET', 'https://www.example.com/', False);
      WinHttpReq.Send('');
      Log('Connected to the server; status: ' + IntToStr(WinHttpReq.Status) + ' ' +
          WinHttpReq.StatusText);
      Connected := True;
    except
      Log('Error connecting to the server: ' + GetExceptionMessage);
      if WizardSilent then
      begin
        Log('Connection to the server is not available, aborting silent installation');
        Result := False;
        Exit;
      end
        else
      if MsgBox('Cannot reach server. Please check your Internet connection.',
                mbError, MB_RETRYCANCEL) = IDRETRY then
      begin
        Log('Retrying');
      end

Flemish Masters in Situ
Route Vlaams-Brabant
Theodoor van loon and the archdukes of Austria
Between Zichem and Diest, in the Middle Ages, an oak tree in the form of a cross stood on a hilltop. A religious man hang a statue of Virgin Mary on a branch, and since then, numerous people visit the place to pray. In 1602, a wooden chapel was built on the place where the oak once stood, in 1604 it was replaced by a stone version. Archdukes Albrecht and Isabella extended the little chapel to a courteous basilica, that is still standing there today.
This magnificent Basilica of Our Lady of Scherpenheuvel was decorated with seven paintings from the Flemish Master Theodoor van Loon. The impressive masterpieces depict different moments from the life of Virgin Mary. There are seven paintings for a reason! The number symbolizes the seven happy and seven sad moments from her life.
Curious for more? In the fourteenth-century Church of Saint Catherine in the beguinage of Diest, the Four Evangelists from the same master ornament the place since the seventeenth century. Take a look in the marvellous baroque and rococo interior, you won't know where to look first!

Solved! What Your Plants' Yellow Leaves Mean, and How to Fix Them
You can learn a lot about a plant's health just by looking at its leaves.
By Steph Coelho | Published Jun 24, 2021 4:04 PM
Q: I purchased my first houseplant a few months ago, and things were going great. But recently its leaves have started to turn yellow. What's wrong with my plant; am I doing something wrong?
A: The good news is that, despite the color change, a plant that still has all of its leaves likely can be salvaged. Yellowing leaves are typically an early warning sign that something is wrong. This visual red (err, yellow?) flag is a sign that it's time to inspect your plant a little more closely than usual.
The bad news is that yellow leaves can be a symptom of many plant problems, some not so serious, and some potentially fatal if ignored. Here are some common reasons that a plant's leaves might start yellowing and how to tell these issues apart.
Related: 11 Signs of an Unhappy Houseplant (and How You Can Help)
Compacted Roots
A plant's roots are like the veins of the body. But instead of circulating blood, roots deliver nutrients and water that plants need to thrive. When roots aren't in tip-top shape, a plant suffers. Problems with roots are impossible to see above the ground unless you know how to look for them.
Yellow leaves on a plant might be a sign to check for compacted roots. Gnarled and container-bound roots can't deliver necessary sustenance to plants, which can turn leaves an unpleasant shade of yellow.
Key indicators: A root-bound plant will fail to thrive. Leaves might turn yellow or brown. An inspection of the roots will show that they have grown in a mat-like fashion.
Remedy: If possible, pull your plant out of the container and look at the roots directly. If they're noticeably compacted, it's probably time to repot.
Too Much Moisture
Plants need water to survive. However, too much of it may lead to rot. When a plant starts to look unwell, most people react by watering. But sometimes, more water is not the answer. If plant roots are drowning in water, they can't breathe or access nutrients.
Detecting whether a plant is getting too much water can be tricky, especially if a pot doesn't have drainage holes or the ground's soil makeup is unknown. Before watering, though, always check to see whether the soil is moist. Plug a finger and inch or more into the soil. Is it wet? Skip watering.
Key indicators: Aside from yellow leaves, overwatered plants might have roots that rise out of the soil in an attempt to avoid suffocation. Also, if there's a nasty odor emanating from a plant, it might be a sign that the roots are rotting.
Remedy: Make sure to use well-draining soil for potted or garden plants. Avoid containers with no drainage holes, or add holes yourself. Additionally, when planting outdoors, don't plant in spots where water tends to pool.
Related: 11 Reasons Your Houseplants Are Dying
Too Little Moisture
Just to make it interesting, too little moisture also can cause leaves to turn yellow. If you haven't watered in a long while and your plant's leaves are yellowing, it's likely because they need water. Generally, however, plants are better at handling a lack of water than an abundance of it.
Key indicators: Yellow leaves, parched soil, and lack of growth. Leaves might also feel dry and brittle to the touch and look droopy.
Remedy: Good old H2O will fix the problem. Prevent it in the future with consistent watering; add a layer of mulch around outdoor plants in dry areas.
Lack of Nutrients
A lack of nutrients can cause problems when damaged or compacted roots cannot deliver food to a plant. A plant might be unable to access nutrients for other reasons, including pH imbalance. When the soil's pH is off, it can hamper nutrient absorption, meaning a plant can't access nutrients present in the soil. Other times, nutrients might be completely missing from the soil.
Key indicators: Specific deficiencies produce different symptoms. Nitrogen deficiency, for example, might cause leaves to turn completely yellow. Potassium deficiency, however, causes the edges of leaves to yellow.
Remedy: If the problem is pH-related, adding fertilizer might not work. If the soil is devoid of one or more specific nutrients, fertilizer is the answer. A soil test is the only way to know the root cause of the problem and whether you need fertilizer.
Related: The Best Fertilizer for Peppers and Veggies
Overfeeding
Fertilizer helps plants grow, so more of it must produce even bigger, more beautiful plants, right? Unfortunately, that's not how it works. Too much fertilizer can not only stunt growth. It can also harm the environment and disrupt the delicate underground ecosystem. Additionally, too much fertilizer can yellow leaves and is likely to prevent blooms and fruits from forming.
Key indicators: Leaves might yellow and wilt. Other symptoms include root rot, stunted growth, leaf drop, or browning of leaf tips. There may also be a visible crust of fertilizer on the surface of the soil.
Remedy: Remove the layer of fertilizer visible on the topsoil. Remove any dead leaves or plant matter. Water deeply and wait at least a month before fertilizing or get the soil tested to ensure that you don't make the same mistake again.
Not Enough Light
Plants that don't get enough light quickly turn leggy and sickly looking. Without enough light, plants can't properly photosynthesize. Yellow leaves due to lack of light is a common problem with houseplants because people often grossly underestimate the amount of light a plant is getting.
Key indicators: Leaf yellowing, leaf drop, and a leggy appearance.
Remedy: The fix for lack of light is easier said than done. Placing your plant in a sunnier area is the best way to rectify the problem. However, not everyone has an ultra-sunny windowsill available. If there's not enough natural sunlight available, make some with the help of a grow light (available on Amazon).
Eeek! No gardener wants to spot or deal with a pest infestation, but infestations do happen. Plant vampires like aphids, mites, mealybugs, and thrips are common houseplant pests. When these insects feed on foliage and the like, plants become stressed, and leaves can turn yellow. Some pests even damage roots, which can interrupt nutrient and water absorption.
Key indicators: Visible signs of pests might not be evident at first glance. Check the underside of leaves and look for physical damage that might indicate insect activity.
Remedy: Some insects, like mites, are easy to wash off with an intense burst of water. Others are a little trickier to get rid of. Neem oil is a fairly effective remedy for most houseplant pests. Generally, prevention is the best strategy. Always inspect store-bought plants before bringing them home or transplanting them to the garden.
It's Too Cold
Some plants are particularly susceptible to changes in temperature. Tropical plants, like citrus trees, for instance, don't do well in drafty locations. Placing a temperature-sensitive plant near a door or vent can cause yellowing and leaf drop due to stress, as can outdoor temps that drop too low.
Although windowsills sometimes provide the best source of light for plants, they can also be terrible in terms of regulating temperature, especially if the windows are old and poorly insulated.
Key indicators: Yellowing and leaf drop.
Remedy: Find a warmer, less drafty location for your precious houseplant or a new spot in the garden for an outdoor one.
Many diseases also can cause plant leaves to turn yellow. Common sources of plant diseases are contaminated soil or pests. Fungal and bacterial plant infections can also hang around on unsanitized garden tools or store-bought plants. Diseases that might produce yellowed leaves include leaf spot, black spot, rust, and mosaic virus.
Key indicators: Depends on the disease. A diseased plant will have an overall unhealthy appearance.
Remedy: The fix will depend on the disease. Many plant diseases are incurable and might spread to nearby healthy plants. To avoid getting other plants sick, dispose of diseased plant material ASAP. If necessary, get help from a trusted source like your local extension office to address plant diseases.

We stopped for a few days in Tulum, Mexico to meet up with Francesco's friend, Lou. Francesco had been raving about the beautiful beach in Tulum so I knew I would love it! Tulum is about 2 hours south of Cancun and is known for it's ruins that are right on the cliff overlooking the ocean. We explored the ruins in the morning, which were definitely not as impressive as Copan or Tikal but still pretty awesome given their amazing location!
There were also huge iguanas everywhere! I don't know what was more fun, running into these huge lizards sunning themselves or watching the tourists go crazy taking pictures of them! Given it's proximity to Cancun, there were busloads of tourists checking out Tulum. There were lines of tourists taking pictures of iguanas on the cliggs that made me think of Disney World of tourists.
The afternoon was spent snorkeling and laying on the beautiful beach. Tulum is lined by part of the second longest reef in the world and the sand on the beach is amazing! It is very powdery and doesn't get hot in the sun.
We celebrated our last night together with a few Sol beers at a restaurant in Tulum. Instead of bar stools it had swings! I also indulged in one last plate of tacos. There were 7 different options on the menu, so I ordered one of each! It was a ton of food but I cleaned my plate. Good thing I'm going to be working out a ton when I get back to the States!
The boys did some shopping and then for some reason needed a second dinner! Pizza!? Given that I ate twice the number of tacos than they did at dinner I definitely wasn't hungry.
Tomorrow I'm off to Cancun to catch my flight home and Lou and Francesco are going to spend a week checking out the Yucatan Peninsula. I can't believe I'm about to head back to cold Wisconsin!


Q: I recently donated my hair, and cut it to chin-length. Since then, it has gotten to almost shoulder length (a little longer than the photo... this was taken a couple months ago).
Alicia is thinking about going a lot shorter.
I've been thinking recently about getting it cut a lot shorter (think pixie-length), but I am unsure of what style would suit me best.
A: Wow, what a natural beauty you are, Alicia.
You could do almost anything with your hair—as long as you would be happy with it, it will suit you.
Morena Baccarin at the 2011 Showtime Summer TCA Tour.
With your natural movement and colour, it would obviously be a great look for you.
Dannii Minogue at the 2011 MyDaily Amazing Women Celebration.
A dark rinse will be the easiest way to acquire it and the easiest way to get rid of it. When you have short hair, it is the best time to play with your colour if you want drama.
A little harsh on the hair, but again, if it is short, then it is easy to grow out, and you can always colour it a darker shade to make the grow-out painless.
Have fun with these suggestions. If you are to keep it long, please do not colour your hair. The reason being, with all of the short layers, there is not enough length for the light to reflect and show off your natural colour.
Hair colour changes throughout your life and you will never have this one again.

Transcript profiling differentiates healthy control, sub-clinical and clinical Johne's disease in dairy cattle [abstract]. In: Proceedings of International Plant and Animal Genomics Meeting, January 14-18, 2012, San Diego, California. p. 127.
Technical Abstract: Johne's Disease (JD), a ruminant infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), is characterized by a long latent period followed by an aggressive acute phase in which the animal experiences diarrhea and extreme wasting. The absence of symptoms and low levels of bacterial shedding during the latent period make early diagnosis difficult. We analyzed the expression profiles of 34 samples of ileocecal valve (ICV, site of infection) and associated lymph node (LN) from 14 mature cows with naturally acquired JD to determine whether gene expression patterns could differentiate control, sub-clinical and clinical states. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) was carried out using the Illumina DSN protocol to detect low abundance transcripts. 530 million reads were aligned to the bovine and MAP genomes. MAP reads in ICV increased roughly in parallel with disease state. Bovine read count-based expression values normalized using the TMM method to minimize non-disease effects. Differential expression analysis was carried out in JMP Genomics 5.1. Unique sequence-based molecular signatures of gene expression were developed for each JD stage and tissue-type and robust comparisons made between control vs. sub-clinical (ICV: n=20; LN: n=13); sub-clinical vs. clinical (ICV: n=63, LN: n=25); and control vs. clinical (ICV: n=110; LN: n=87). Transcript profiles were related to increased inflammatory responses, metabolic and mitochondrial perturbations. Significant differences identified between control and sub-clinical samples may represent early markers for disease. The unique gene signatures potentially provide insights into JD pathogenesis, aid in timely diagnosis and identify candidate targets and pathways for therapeutic intervention.

Hot Springs in the U.S.
Hot Springs in Mexico
Mercey Hot Springs - Hot Springs in California
When it comes to hot springs near San Jose, you can't go wrong with Mercey Hot Springs.
Both the outdoor and indoor baths are small, one-person tubs, so you can enjoy the thermal water while it is still fresh.
Casa de Fruta
It takes less than two hours to drive from downtown San Jose to Mercey Hot Springs.
Casa de Fruta is located halfway between the two and is a good place to take a break.
Locally grown vegetables, fruits, and nuts are displayed throughout, and even wine tastings are available.
Leaving Interstate 5, I thought I saw an oasis in the desolate desert, and it was the Mercey Hot Springs.
The San Andreas Fault, which forms the boundary between the Pacific and North American plates, runs nearby.
Originally known to the Native Americans, the hot springs did not appear in history until 1848.
During the pioneer days of the West, it was a stronghold of outlaws known as the Five Joaquins Gang.
The spa resort was built in 1912 after John N. Merci sold the land to a San Francisco real estate agent.
Some buildings remain as they were and have been renovated and used.
Very old-fashioned.
That's a good thing.
The hot springs had camping sites and cabins for overnight stays.
The cabin I stayed in was modest, just barely fitting one bed, like this.
In the first place, there is not even electricity in the area, and since the area is self-sufficient in solar power generation, we cannot afford to be extravagant.
First, let's take a look at the areas where swimsuits are required.
The swimming pool can be seen as soon as you enter.
The water was lukewarm, with no features that can be felt, as if no thermal water was used.
There was also a smell of chlorine, which was not recommended for hot spring enthusiasts.
The sauna building was located beside the pool.
If this were all, it would be a typical spa, but the real value of Mercey Hot Springs lies in the personal tubs.
Massive tubs
Many sunshades lined the space elevated above the pool.
Small one-person tubs were lined up under sunshades.
When I twisted the faucet, the thermal water came out of the red hose and cold water came out of the blue hose.
The spring water was clear and colorless, but the sulfur smell rises softly, giving a sense of a great hot spring.
For those who feel that wearing a bathing suit is not very elegant, no matter how good the water is, I recommend the clothing optional area.
This one was on a wooden deck, fenced in behind the cabins.
Even though it was clothing optional, it was separated into individual tubs, so you don't have to worry too much.
The water temp was 118 degrees F at the gushing point.
By the time the tab was filled, it was at the right temperature, but I had the impression that it warmed more than the temperature.
This was probably due to the high salt content.
It is best to avoid visiting during the hottest part of the year.
On the other hand, the temperature drops dramatically at night in the desert, making it very comfortable to soak while gazing at the starry sky.
Guests may use the private indoor baths at a specified time (no additional charge).
The historic bathhouse.
The floor in front of the two bathrooms had a beautiful pattern that resembled a lizard.
This tiled bathroom looked like it had been recently renovated and smelled like brand-new wood.
The other bathroom had a slight oriental flavor, with a rock wall near the water outlet.
Look at this!
The elaborate decorations on the benches in the bathrooms and the lizard pattern mentioned earlier suggested that this was once an upscale spa resort, even though it now has the atmosphere of a rustic campground.
The pipe protruded near the surface of the water and drained well from the tabs, even when left running.
It was a blissful moment for hot spring enthusiasts to enjoy the excellent quality of water in a small tub.
Mercey Hot Springs, Firebaugh, California, U.S.
Type: Lodging, Walk-in
Rule: Clothing optional, Clothing required, Private pool
Chlorination: Yes (Large pool), Not detected (other)
Water temp: Up to 118 degrees F
Your comments are welcome, but I do not intend to reply to all. I will leave critical comments as they are while I am feeling good in hot springs, but I may delete ones that are unnecessarily offensive. I also reserve the right to close the comment sections without notice.

Hopefully it can help resolve my problem. Thank You for help. There is also a lib folder in my project. Contains Hibernate's libs(required) and mysql connector.

A: I think you're attending the same online course as me! In previous lessons the instructor posted a solution to this problem :
This happens because of Java 9 and higher.
Java 9 and higher has removed java.xml.bind from its default classpath. That's why we get the class not found exception.  We have to explicitly add JAR files to the build path.

Solution
For Java 9 and higher, you need to additional JAR files.
You need to download the following JAR files:

*

*javax.activation-1.2.0.jar

*jaxb-api-2.3.0.jar

*jaxb-core-2.3.0.jar

*jaxb-impl-2.3.0.jar

*

*Download the files using links below:

http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/sun/activation/javax.activation/1.2.0/javax.activation-1.2.0.jar
http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=javax/xml/bind/jaxb-api/2.3.0/jaxb-api-2.3.0.jar
http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/sun/xml/bind/jaxb-core/2.3.0/jaxb-core-2.3.0.jar
http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/sun/xml/bind/jaxb-impl/2.3.0/jaxb-impl-2.3.0.jar

*Copy the JAR files to the lib folder of your project

*

*javax.activation-1.2.0.jar

*jaxb-api-2.3.0.jar

*jaxb-core-2.3.0.jar

*jaxb-impl-2.3.0.jar

Use the following steps to add the JAR files to your Java Build Path.

*Right-click your project, select Properties

*On left-hand side, click Java Build Path

*In top-center of dialog, click Libraries

*Click Classpath and then Click Add JARs ...

*Navigate to the JAR files /lib
Select the files:
javax.activation-1.2.0.jar
jaxb-api-2.3.0.jar
jaxb-core-2.3.0.jar
jaxb-impl-2.3.0.jar

*Click OK then click Apply and Close

Eclipse will perform a rebuild of your project and it will resolve the related build/runtime errors.

A: You miss jaxb-api-1.0.jar in your classpath.
if you are maven add the following dependency to your code:
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

A: Please add the below jar in your project classpath.
http://central.maven.org/maven2/javax/xml/bind/jaxb-api/2.2.11/jaxb-api-2.2.11.jar

A: Please change the JRE from the STS/Eclipse to 8 version.
Don't use JRE 1.8 in JDK 16.

A: Changed to java 8 instead of java 9 and working perfectly fine.

MEET OUR MODERNIZERS

Meet our Modernizers - Saji Antony
Vanenburg has grown considerably over the past year and currently consists of a team of 150+ enthusiastic and dedicated employees. We help customers empower their growth by modernizing their enterprise IT. These projects can be extensive and complex, and the expertise of our employees brings these projects to success.
But who are the people that make all of this happen? In this new series 'Meet our modernizers', we introduce the people behind the scenes and ask them who they are, what their role is within the company, and what it is like to be part of the Vanenburg family.
Part six: Saji Antony – Senior Vice President Engineering
Anyone at Vanenburg knows Saji. He started working at Baan Company in 1995 as a product architect until 2004. After his period at Baan Company, Saji joined Cordys in 2005 as a senior product manager until 2011, when he left Cordys and joined Vanenburg, becoming one of the cornerstones of the Vanenburg India team. Soon the team grew to 20 people that were involved in development initiatives from all kinds of start-up companies. The real growth of the Vanenburg India team came when Vanenburg started working for enterprise customers, like Valeo and later Solvay. Currently, Vanenburg India has around 110 employees and we are expected to grow to 140 in a few months.
At Vanenburg he is responsible for the solution development and heads the engineering team apart from his responsibilities as the general manager for the India development centre. Saji holds a master's degree in computer applications from the National Institute of Technology Kozhikode (India). Saji is married to Agalya (Cloud Operations & AI/ML Lead at Vanenburg).
What do you do on a daily basis at Vanenburg?
Mostly my focus will be on the delivery organization in ensuring that we meet our customer commitments on time and with quality. I also work a lot on the product side shaping up our products, and trying out new ideas and ways to improve our solutions. These days a lot of time is also spent in ramping up the team with lateral hires and also a lot of freshers and interns.
You have been connected to the Baan family for many years. What makes it so great to work at Vanenburg, Baan Company and Cordys before?
I started my career working at Baan as an engineer. From then till now I have worked only for Baan companies like Cordys & now Vanenburg. So it is a very long association. There is a personal connection with Mr Jan Baan which has developed over the years. Trust he shows and the belief he has in our abilities has been the foundation of the relationship.
It was during 2005 that my wife who was working for Cordys was asked by Mr Baan to start a new centre in the south of India. She accepted the offer and due to that I also had to change my job to Cordys taking a senior product manager role. We moved to Coimbatore and started a centre for Cordys and a few years later opened the Vanenburg office in Coimbatore which I am overseeing now.
In all his companies Mr Baan has enforced a culture where there is a lot of freedom and empowerment given to the employees. Most of the Baanites – our name for former Baan colleagues – will talk about the Baan culture which is about the 3 I's. Initiative, Innovation & Integrity. The friendly environment and the fact that we always worked on innovative solutions make life very interesting and that probably is the reason for our having a long association.
On which projects are you currently working?
Being in charge of the delivery organization I am connected to all projects. But I am more involved directly in some initiatives like Collabrr and all the customer projects we have around this product. I am also involved with many internship projects we have conceived to try out some new ideas. It is done also with the intention to bring the young guys up to speed.
What is Collabrr?
Collabrr is our no-code/low-code platform to develop micro applications. It is conceived as a citizen developer tool intended for less technical guys to develop and run applications. To modernize their IT, businesses are always looking out for new applications which can help them to improve their processes. It's not always easy to get your application requirements addressed by your IT on time as there is always a shortage of resources and budget. This has led to the evolution of citizen developer tools which can solve many application needs with less techy persons.
In a normal application development scenario, you need to arrange your development servers, database, and source repositories and later think of arranging acceptance servers, and production servers for testing and deploying the applications. With Collabrr all these hassles are taken care of and you need a web browser and log in to the Collabrr environment to develop and deploy applications. A set of design tools are provided with drag and drop features to design your data model, pages, workflow, menus and much more.
You can also make the application available on mobile with the help of Collabrr container application where micro apps can be downloaded. The mobile apps support offline features so that you can continue to use them even when the internet is not available. The data will be synced as soon as you are back online.
So a Collabrr app could be a standalone app for data storage and retrieval, an application for workflows and approvals, an application to perform a task taking data out of your systems of records and then bringing it back after the task is completed and so on.
Collabrr could also function as a document exchange platform as it comes with a multi-tenant architecture to receive and send documents across. Imagine developing an application for all your dealers providing each of them an exclusive experience with separation of their data. You could exchange business documents back and forth with your dealers as Collabrr can also function as a hub.
What makes Collabrr unique from other platforms?
Low-code development platforms in themselves and a citizen-developer approach are not unique. However, what makes Collabrr unique is that it combines this with multi-tenancy and offline capabilities. On top of that, we add out-of-the-box data storage, wherein on many other platforms, you need to configure your own databases. Lastly, Collabrr has a powerful workflow feature, which is an added attraction when you look at many other platforms.
"In all his companies Mr. Baan has enforced a culture where there is a lot of freedom and empowerment given to the employees."
You mentioned development activities for eVerbinding. What is the connection between eVerbinding and Collabrr?
With eVerbinding we have a strong partnership as we deliver our development services for them for a long time already. The major use case for Collabrr was the document exchange platform for e-invoicing. Now they are on a separate track taking the solution further for their use case with a strong team working for them. With Collabrr we are now focusing on the micro apps strategy with all the learnings and experience we had building the eVerbinding platform.
Next to Collabrr, you are also monitoring the product development at Vanenburg of our products Eva and UnDoc. What are Eva and UnDoc?
In the initial days, Vanenburg was engaged with many startup activities being the development partner in building ideas into solutions. Parallelly we also developed solutions for enterprises in modernizing their IT. Taking advantage of many of our customer success stories we are now building our product stacks to help our customers in many areas. We have Eva, a rapid application development (RAD) tool with lean code principles to build applications. The amazing thing about Eva is that it does not have vendor lock-in. This is really important because you do not have tool dependency after generating code. It is generating 75%+ of the required code by a business analyst and uses out of the box building blocks and reusable libraries, but the no vendor lock-in also results in no license costs.
Besides Eva, we have Collabrr as a citizen developers platform and UnDoc as a set of libraries to speed up ML-based document recognition and transformations to an electronic format which can be easily integrated into backend systems. It provides a way to extract structured content from unstructured documents.
What makes UnDoc unique from other document AI solutions?
In our experience, we see that less straightforward use cases are not handled well by OCR solutions. This is due to the fact that non-standard templates require a high level of machine intelligence in understanding and extracting details information.
This is where Vanenburg's UnDoc becomes unique compared to other solutions. Our solution provides the elements for a custom (uniquely geared) document automation solution, to extract data with high accuracy. We have developed machine learning models that can be trained with your own data for highly accurate entity recognition. On top of that, we have developed configurable document templates. For example, an invoice header with lines and PO number.
A recent blog, written by Ronald Haantjes, discussed whether a company culture is transferable. Since you have been working at several companies of the Baan family, what is your point of view?
If you look at the companies Mr Baan has created we could easily say that the culture is transferable. The nice environment we had at Baan Company is mostly carried forward to his next companies Cordys and now Vanenburg. In my view it happens because of two reasons:
One is the enforcement of certain principles by our founder which he values the most in his regular interaction with the employees. And two, the commitment of the leadership team to create a similar environment to what they experienced in their early companies. The Baan culture as we call it is something all former employees fondly relate to where we have the freedom to execute and the constant encouragement to perform our work in the best way possible.
"Compared to the industry average, employees leaving us is much lower. I attribute this low attrition rate primarily to the nice workplace environment we have created."
Building the India team takes a lot of time and effort. How do you acquire talents and how do you retain them?
To create a high performing delivery organization we need to focus a lot on the hiring side. We do a lot of fresher hiring from good universities and offer them internships. In this way, we are able to attract young talent. Transforming the young engineers into solid professionals in a short span of time is something we are greatly focused on. The hiring of experienced professionals is more challenging as there is a big gap between supply and demand. Apart from the skills we also check for fitment with respect to our culture so that it will be easy going for the new employee once he/she joins us.
Compared to the industry average, employees leaving us is much lower. I attribute this low attrition rate primarily to the nice workplace environment we have created. Generally, people work for people and it's important to build relationships with a long term perspective. If you feel confident that your work will be rewarded and you are encouraged to perform then half is done. The remaining part is to provide them with challenging work where the employees feel that they are learning and growing.
If the employees feel that learning is slowing down then they look for pastures outside. As a company focused on modernizing IT we always have new things to learn and develop on our plate and that makes the life a bit easy for the managers.
Are any future plans or exciting projects coming up?
There are a couple of upcoming developments and projects worth mentioning. First of all, the company is changing from service-focused to product-focused. With our Eva, Collabrr and UnDoc solutions, we provide the tools that a company needs to modernize their business processes and create value. By extension, the shift from 'anything the customer wants' toward 'services around our product portfolio' is where we see a lot of potentials and it is great to be part of it.
Besides the products, we continue to have quite some developments within the teams. Currently, our team in India consists of 109 employees, and we expect to grow to 140 employees in the upcoming months. I'm looking forward to seeing the freshers and graduates showing their skills and enthusiasm, combined with the expertise and knowledge that we have at Vanenburg.
An important aspect is how to make our employees competent. At Vanenburg, we really highlight personal development and growth, motivating our employees to never stop learning. A combination of forming groups for learning and certification, checking on their process with regular meetings, and their motivation to get certifications and enhance their skills is what makes them happy at Vanenburg.
Myself, I am planning to update my Google Cloud Architect certification and probably another certification afterwards. Learning never stops!

Heart attack is a very serious symptom of coronary heart disease. It strikes about 1.2 million Americans yearly and kills approximately 40 percent of them. Unfortunately, in some cases, a heart attack is the first sign that something is wrong in the body.
A heart attack can occur as a result of atherosclerosis (a build-up of plaque in the arteries). A simple plaque can grow into a complicated one when calcium accumulates and hardens the plaque and when blood clots develop. If the top of the fibrous plaque tears or ruptures, heavy bleeding occurs. This causes a local blood clot called a thrombus, which can obstruct the artery and cause a heart attack (also called coronary thrombosis). During a heart attack, the blood supply is cut off from a portion of the heart muscle, and that area of the heart dies. If enough of the heart is affected, or if the heart begins to beat rapidly and uncontrollably (called arrhythmia), the victim can die.
Risk Factors of Coronary Heart Disease: High cholesterol isn't the only risk factor of coronary heart disease. Learn how weight, blood pressure, some medical conditions, and lifestyle choices impact the risk.
Diagnosing Coronary Heart Disease: Doctors take several factors into account to diagnose coronary heart disease. Learn what tests are used, and how to interpret the results.

Q: How to dynamically access target of function object I have a vector of function objects (std::function) all derived from a common base class, base, as shown below. While iterating over the vector I would like access to and possibly change variables in the target -- for example test. At compile time, std::function::target() can return a pointer to the original target, but is there a way to do this at run-time -- i.e. dynamically access test? The vector of functors could be comprised of an arbitrary number of different target functions. Boost is not an option for this codebase.
#include <iostream>
#include <functional>
#include <vector>

typedef std::function<double(double)> Tfunc;

struct base { bool test; };

struct half : public base {
  template<typename T> T operator()(T x) { return x*0.5; }
};

struct square : public base {
  template<typename T> T operator()(T x) { return x*x; }
};

int main() {
  std::vector<Tfunc> v;
  v.push_back( half() );
  v.push_back( square() );

  v[0].target<half>()->test=false;
  v[1].target<square>()->test=true;

  for (auto &f : v)
    std::cout << f(2.0) << " " << f.target_type().name() << "\n";

  return 0;
}

Output:
1 4half
4 6square

A: Do you really need to put the test variable inside the functor using inheritance?  You could compose the functor and the test variable like this:
struct math_operation
{
     Tfunc f;
     bool  test;
};

std::vector<math_operation> v;
v.push_back( math_operation() );
v.push_back( math_operation() );
v[0].f = half();
v[1].f = square();
v[0].test = false;
v[1].test = true;


O2 has shortlisted three consultancies for its public affairs account, with final pitches due to take place as PRWeek went to press. Thirty-five agencies initially expressed interest, after the review was reported in PRWeek (13 August). The field was whittled down to seven, including incumbent Bell Pottinger. But UK head of public affairs Steven Bartholomew declined to reveal the final three.
Lobbyists have been accused of interfering in Ireland's second Lisbon Treaty referendum 'to shore up the EU institutions they make profits from lobbying'. An email was sent on 15 September by Eamonn Bates, a Brussels lobbyist, to members of the European Public Affairs Consultancy Association, asking for financial support for the 'Yes' campaign.
Hill & Knowlton has appointed a new MD for its Belgian public affairs operation. Carel du Marchie Sarvaas will report to Elaine Cruikshanks, CEO Hill & Knowlton International Belgium and chairman of the global public affairs practice. He joins H&K from The Centre.
Weber Shandwick has signed up Marie-Helene Fandel as a senior consultant based in the Brussels public affairs office. Since 2005, Fandel has worked as a policy analyst at the European Policy Centre think-tank. She will advise on healthcare.

Oct 2 (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp said that September U.S. auto sales were the highest since March 2008, before the recent recession that cut deeply into new vehicle purchases.
Toyota, which showed a gain of 41.5 percent in September auto sales from the previous year, said the industry's September sales rate will be 14.9 million on a seasonally adjusted annualized basis.
Toyota is No. 3 in the U.S. auto market in sales, behind leader General Motors Co and Ford Motor Co .
In the 10 years prior to 2008, U.S. auto sales averaged nearly 17 million in new vehicle sales a year.

Angela Gregory - Life and Art
ANGELA GREGORY (1903–1990) was an internationally recognized American sculptor and artist.
Angela Gregory was an American sculptor and professor of art. Angela was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on October 18, 1903. She has been called the doyenne of Louisiana sculpture. Her mother, Selina Bres Gregory, was an artist who studied at Newcomb College in New Orleans with William Woodward and Ellsworth Woodward. Her father, William B. Gregory, was an engineering professor at Tulane University. Angela was interested in art from an early age and began her career in the late 1920s. She became one of the few women of her era to be recognized nationally in a field generally dominated by men.
Gregory said she made her first piece of sculpture when she was twelve years old, crafting a birdbath out of chicken wire, concrete, and a wastebasket. Her early influences included her mother, Selina Bres Gregory (1870—1953), who had been a student of Ellsworth Woodward at Newcomb College in New Orleans and was an early Newcomb potter. As a child, Gregory was inspired by the story her mother told her about watching stonecutters carve an angel on the exterior of the Newcomb Chapel. "She used to tell me she loved to hear the sound of the tapping on the stone…Well, I was determined to do stone cutting.
After taking summer art classes as a teen from William Woodward at Tulane University and later as a student in the Newcomb art school, and studying sculpture in Charles Keck's New York studio in 1924, Angela Gregory graduated from Newcomb in 1925 with a Bachelor of Arts in design. She was awarded a one-year scholarship to the Paris branch of the Parsons School of Fine and Applied Arts to study illustrative advertising. Her real purpose in going to Paris, however, was to study stone cutting with the noted French sculptor, Antoine Bourdelle. Bourdelle had been a praticien in the studio of Auguste Rodin for many years before establishing his own studio in Paris in a cluster of buildings located on what was then Impasse du Maine. Today the buildings house the Musée Bourdelle on Rue Antoine Bourdelle.
Gregory studied for two years, 1926–1928, with Bourdelle, the only American admitted as a student to his private studios. She also took classes from him at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. Early on, she asked Bourdelle what it would cost to study with him in his private studios. He replied, "I am an artist, not a businessman." He refused any payment.
In Bourdelle's studios, she sculpted a limestone copy of the fifteenth-century Beauvais Head of Christ under his tutelage. Gregory's sculpture was exhibited at the Salon des Tuileries in Paris in 1928.
While studying in Bourdelle's studio, Gregory met and became lifelong friends with Joseph Campbell. In a letter to her father, she wrote of Campbell: "He's a very nice boy — clean, open face — and rather unusual in that he doesn't drink and doesn't smoke. He declines very graciously — each time. It was indeed amusing to dance with a 20th century youth who has enthusiasm and zest, and talks heatedly about religions and 'what's beauty?' Gregory sculpted a portrait bust of Campbell in the studio and as she worked the clay, the Master would occasionally step in to provide a critique and a philosophical discourse on the nature of art. The two young people were both deeply affected and influenced by the words of the Master.
Gregory also reconnected Campbell with Krishnamurti, who was posing for a portrait bust for Bourdelle at the time. Meeting Krishna again and attending one of his lectures at the Theosophical Society with Gregory was an important turning point in Campbell's life.
Gregory returned to New Orleans in 1928. The contrast with Paris was a shock: "There was no music, no art. It was hot as Hades. There was nothing. I thought I would go out of my mind. But after a while I realized that if you don't have it inside you, it doesn't matter if you are here or in Paris." She set up her own studio at the rear of her parent's home on Pine Street. There, she worked for more than 50 years.
Her first major commission was at the young age of 25 and was for the architectural sculpture on the façade of the New Orleans Criminal District Courts Building. Upon completion, news reached as far as New York; the headline in the September 25, 1930 issue of the New York Sun read: Prison Walls Made Less Grim by Girl Sculptor, Who at 25 Executes Many Important Commissions.
In 1931, Gregory worked on a team of sculptors who executed historical panels for the façade of a new state capitol building in Baton Rouge built during the administrations of Governor Huey Long. Other work from this period includes a head of Aesculapius on the Hutchinson Memorial Building in Tulane Medical Center, sculpture for Tulane University's McAlister Auditorium and many portrait busts. From 1934 to 1937 Gregory taught ceramics at Newcomb College and later was an artist-in-residence and sculpture professor there.
Gregory was involved in federal arts programs during the Depression. As part of that work, she created a monumental bust of John McDonogh which was installed in the municipal Duncan Plaza of New Orleans (1950s). In 1941, she became state supervisor of the Federal Works Progress Administration arts program in Louisiana.
During World War II she served as an assistant architectural engineer for the Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans and designed camouflage. Later in that time period she served as women's counselor for Pendleton Shipyards, and as a consultant to the Celotex Corporation. After the war she returned to sculpture. Commissions included bas-relief murals for the Louisiana National Bank in Baton Rouge. She also restored sculptures on New Orleans' Gallier Hall.
In the 1950s, she devoted five years to the creation and casting of the bronze Bienville Monument, which stood outside the New Orleans train station on Loyola Avenue for many years. It now stands in a small park near the French Quarter, at the intersection of Decatur and Conti Streets. The monument portrays the first French governor and founder of New Orleans, a priest, and an Indian. Gregory spent two years in France supervising the casting of the monument.
Gregory was a professor and sculptor-in-residence for two decades at the St. Mary's Dominican College in New Orleans, and was named professor emerita when she retired in 1976. During her years at Dominican, she created a series of aluminum and walnut panels tracing the life of Pope John XXIII at the Dominican College library. Other work of that era included a statue of St. Louis for the Archdiocese of New Orleans' Notre Dame Seminary, and a statue of St. Fiacre in the garden of Christ Church Cathedral. In the early 1960s, she sculpted the monument to Henry Watkins Allen in Port Allen, Louisiana. Gregory is often credited with being one of the few women sculptors of her era to complete three public monuments.
Gregory's Pine Street studio was a meeting place for musicians, diplomats, distinguished guests from France, writers like close friend Thornton Wilder, and actors like Kirk Douglas, whose wedding reception was in her studio.

Q: SQL Server not returning an error why? Could someone please explain why the following query runs and does not return an error in SQL server 2012? When column BADCOLUMN does not exist in Table sometable?
SELECT  et
       ,mdt
FROM csv_import as a
where et IN (2,73)
  AND siteid IN (
                 select BADCOLUMN
                 from sometable
                  where SN in ('a','b','c')
                )

If you run just the subquery
select BADCOLUMN
from sometable
where SN in ('a','b','c')

You will receive an error stating the column does not exist.  But if you run the full query
you will not receive an error and that section of the where clause gets ignored
To me the full query should not run as a section of it contains an error?
Opinions or Reasons?
