Unlike when you're moving on your own, doing it with your family can require twice as much time and effort from you. For one, you have to entice everyone in the family to help during the move. You have to ensure that their schedule permits it and they actually have the interest to help you. This is especially true for children. Since they're still innocent, you have to pay attention to everything they're doing and make sure that their tasks are apt for their skillset. This still doesn't include the tantrums and misunderstandings you might have to pacify along the way. Fortunately, there are better ways to move from one location to another with your family.
Be positive and provide reassurance: If you've been living in the same neighborhood for decades, moving can be heartbreaking. You might have already drawn close to everyone living there, treating your neighbors as family members and your children's friends as your own. This transition can be hard especially for your children. You can turn things around by being positive. Instead of being sad because you're moving, tell your family that everyone is welcoming an exciting new life. Everyone can start with a clean slate and do whatever they can. Also reassure them that although the location is different, everyone can still make friends with the neighbors. Don't forget to laugh and joke around during moving day, too. This kind of attitude will influence your family members to do the same.
Keep communication open: No matter how much you plan for a move, there will always be a few bumps along the way. You might need to move in the next month but your children don't want to or your family, not like the idea of hiring a moving company. When things don't go according to plan, always keep communication open. Your sister can't possibly enjoy the move when she's uncomfortable moving boxes from your attic to the ground floor, right? Encourage your family to speak out if they have concerns or suggestions. It'll be easy to provide solutions if you actually know what the problem is.
Translate the move into a game: Instructing children to pack and organize their items during the move can be time-consuming. Constantly looking after them might be an option but with the list of things you have to do for the move, it's not the best thing to do. Let games help you out with this kind of problem. Before the move, have your children race each other as to who can sort out the most number of items or clean their room the fastest. On the day of the move, the races can involve who can stack the moving boxes neatly or who can carry the most stuff. You can also have fun games during the car ride to the new location. Have your children play Twenty Questions and Bingo.
There are many games which you can use before, during and even after the move. You just have to think out of the box to keep them upbeat! You can also give prizes to the winners as an added bonus.
Create a playlist: Packing items, labeling boxes and moving these from one area to another can become a hassle. When it's done for days, your family might even be exhausted. To liven things up, prepare a playlist. This can include songs which have a meaning to the family (like the Christmas Carol everyone sang during the holidays or the movie theme song your sister used to sing in her class), your personal favorite or the latest songs being played on the radio. Once your family members hear these songs, they'll be energized to complete their tasks. You might even hear them singing at the top of their lungs while piling up boxes.
Eat like kings: Food is the best reward you can give to your family after a day of packing, organizing and cleaning. Create a plan of what to serve once your family starts making preparations for the move. If they're starting to pack their valuables Saturday afternoon, make sure a meal is set for dinner. You can ask them what they want to eat or prepare everyone's favorite dish as a surprise. During your travel, it's also important that you pay attention to the food supplies your family has. Bring with you a cooler packed with cold beverages, fruits and nuts. You can even stop for a healthy meal along the way.
Don't rush: Being unprepared is one of the reasons why a move can become stressful. You'll have to rush everyone to finish their tasks as soon as possible, causing them to experience stress too. You can save your family from situations like these by starting early. If you're planning to live in a new house during the first week of August, you can start packing as early as June. This will give you ample time to sort out all of your items, pack and label them accordingly. When everyone is relaxed and calm during the move, they have more time to have fun.
Meet the children in your new location: When children move to another location, they fear that they'll be all alone as they don't have any friends. Most often than not, they would even worry that other children might bully them. Change this kind of perception by meeting the children in your new location. Take time to know them and tell your children about them. You should also teach your children how to introduce themselves so it'll be easier for them to reach. If possible, create avenues for your children to meet everyone in the neighborhood. Schedule camps in your backyard or have children from your neighborhood visit your house for some snacks.
Moving from one location to another can be tiring but there are many ways on how you can spice things up. Gradually brush the idea that you're doing chores during the move; think of them as avenues to have fun and bond with your family. Don't think that you'll be leaving your friends in your old neighborhood because you're actually adding more with the new people you'll meet. Don't think lifting heavy boxes is just a boring task but as a medium to have a friendly competition with your siblings. Change your mind set about moving and soon enough, everyone in the family will do the same. It won't be long before everyone in the family will never look at a move as a burden, but another way to have fun and enjoy!

How much extra leave is reasonable for an employee who has exhausted FMLA but is not yet capable of returning to work? Does an employer have to keep the absent employee's job open? What medical evidence is needed? How much interactive dialogue is enough? What about an employee is who is unreasonable and/or demanding?
A recent opinion from the Eighth Circuit provides helpful guidance about these and other problems employers face when deciding whether extended medical leave is a reasonable accommodation for an employee with a serious medical condition who is not yet capable of returning to work. See Brunckhorst v. City of Oak Park Heights, (8th Cir. 2/4/2019).

Pixelonomics mean playing with colors and pixels that are mainly the building block for any creative work either in the Ad world or in the Art world.
Pixelonomics is an innovative and highly creative lab where Science of Pixels and Design is practised to make internet experience more enriching and beautiful for the users.
Pixelonomics is an assortment, an assortment of distinct wisdom. They have a very broad view of the concept to be presented. the connections work for them. The thing i really like about it is that its very much connected to "Today". Just like a visual is a form of language, they communicate in the same manner. A matured and an honest approach is what i see everytime.
Lemme keep it short and sweet.
branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and transfer of beautiful pixels.
branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and transfer of wealth.
Chamak se le kar challo tak.
Pixelonomics for me…a new world where reading becomes simple, learning becomes interesting. Every detailed information is like pixels scattered..pixelonomics puts them in a meaningful,graphical and leaves impact. POP…pixelonomics of Photoshop was an experience where the ghost of photoshop ran away from minds and it became a friend. So, Pixelonomics is a world which makes things simpler, easier, graphical and leads to a good memory of information!
In simple words, Pixelonomics to me means quality design. Starting from infographics to pictures and simple text, it changes how my vision of creativity. Simple yet best in its field.
For me Pixelonomics is the one who gives opinion and discusses about life, startups, web, movies, design, events, photography, entrepreneurship….
Well, at the risk of sounding cliched its the economics of pixels! Or maybe not. Its probably about the ergonomics of pixels or maybe something else.
To me pixelonomics is a blog/site where attention is given to every single detail and pixel of the work they do. As they say god is in the details and they take that very seriously! Its one of the very well designed blogs online with really interesting stuff to read about and quite interesting insights.
discussion about anything in life. Its more about sharing experiences and leaving an impact.

Several officers attempted to take a suspect into custody, but the man began to struggle and then opened fire, fatally wounding Deputy Flick and wounding two other deputies, a Colorado Springs police officer, and a bystander. The man was shot and killed by return gunfire.
Deputy Flick had served with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office for 11 years. He was killed on the 11th anniversary of starting with the department. He is survived by his wife and 7-year-old twins.

"Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan is a digital refusenik.
The digital takeover of contemporary movie-making may not be a hot topic around the American water cooler, but in "Side by Side" it is revealed as a large and fascinating subject–the most radical development in the industry since the introduction of sound in the 1920s.
The director, Christopher Kenneally, is a busy young post-production supervisor. Two years ago he was working on a Keanu Reeves movie called "Henry's Crime." Reeves was around a lot for the post sessions, and he and Kenneally began talking about the changes being effected in their industry by digital cameras, imagery, and editing, and what they meant for the future of traditional photographic film — if it had one.
Reeves decided they should make a movie about this. He would produce and also conduct interviews with top directors, editors, and cinematographers–something at which he turns out to be very adept.

Q: Puting $n$ balls in ordered bins I have $n$ balls $\{b_1,...,b_n\}$ and $m$ bins $\{B_1,...,B_m\}$ how many ways there are to put the balls in the bins in such a way that the ball $i+1$ is in a bin greater or equal than the ball $i$?
For example with $n=2$ and $m=3$ we get the following solutions:
$(b_1,b_2)()()$; $(b_1)(b_2)()$; $(b_1)()(b_2)$;$()(b_1,b_2)()$; $()(b_1)(b_2)$ and $()()(b_1,b_2)$ thus $6$.

A: Consider the order of the balls fixed (in the manner required, that is, increasing). Now just place spaces in between the balls. For $m$ bins, you need to place $m-1$ spaces. There are total $n+m-1$ objects ($n$ balls and $m-1$ bins) and you need to choose $m-1$ of those as spaces. Thus, the number of ways to do so is $\binom{n+m-1}{m-1}$.
As the order of the balls is fixed, you can simply use the formula to place $n$ identical balls in $m$ bins. And when you are done placing them, order the balls from left to right in increasing order.

Q: Systemd service does not save changes to disk Wrote a simple keychron.service file to overwrite a parameter during each boot-up.
[Unit]
Description=The command to make the Keychron K2 work

[Service]
Type=oneshot

This script is for patching my keyboard, and it simply writes a 0 into /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode. Unfortunately I can't get it to work. Here's what I did in an attempt to troubleshoot it.

*

*Check that fnmode is 1
thekenu:~
$ cat /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
1

*Restart keychron.service, and use systemctl status to ensure it restarted successfully

thekenu:~
$ sudo systemctl restart keychron.service

*Run the ExecStart command from keychron.service
thekenu:~
$ /bin/echo 0 | sudo /usr/bin/tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode

*Now fnmode is 0. But it seems like I merely typed out what keychrone.service was supposed to do.

A: ExecStart is not a normal shell line. From systemd.service(5):

ExecStart=
Commands with their arguments that are executed when this service is started. The value is split into zero or more command lines according to the rules  described below (see section "Command Lines" below).

You're operating a system unit, not a user unit, so you're already root and don't need to complicate the Exec with sudo:

The Italian-German Historical Institute (ISIG) is a research centre that promotes study in early modern and contemporary history, within the Bruno Kessler Foundation, a leading research institution. Further information on the Institute's activity is available on the website (http://isig.fbk.eu).
The Italian-German Historical Institute (ISIG) is pleased to announce a Summer School on Media and history and to offer 15 study grants.
As part of the research project "Mediatisation and mediality of history" , the focus of the Institute since 2017 (https://isig.fbk.eu/it/projects/categories/mediatizzazione-e-medialita-dellastoria), the Summer School will investigate through lectures and seminars the role of media in the context of the socio-political and cultural transformations that have typified the early modern and contemporary era. The aim is to reconstruct the development of the media through the categories of mediality, intermediality and transnationality from an historical perspective.
Participation in the Study week is open to doctoral and post-doctoral (who submitted their theses after 1 January 2015) students of any nationality, who have ongoing research projects in the broad field of the history of media or on the relationship between media and history.


The Phantasy Star: Official Production Compendium is the most well known book that exclusively covers the classic Phantasy Star series. It is generally regarded as one of the rarest and most valuable pieces of Phantasy Star merchandise. It collects artwork, character profiles, game development details, merchandise photographs, interviews, and other material detailing the general history of the series.
In addition to the standard information one might expect, like game plot summaries, Phantasy Star: Official Production Compendium also contains unique information that reveals details of the history of the series and characters not found in the games themselves. Where did techniques come from? Is magic inherited? Who started the Devastation War? What does AW stand for? These are examples of questions held by many Phantasy Star fans and answered only in this book.
I have scanned a few pages from the Compendium and made them available below as a preview for those interested in the book.

»Kansas State University announces two-week online start to spring semester
Submitted by Communications and Marketing
With the goal of mitigating the continued spread of COVID-19, Kansas State University will begin the first two weeks of the spring semester with remote learning classes. Most classes are scheduled to begin Monday, Jan. 25. The university plans to return to the hybrid and in-person teaching modalities used in the fall semester after the two-week period on Feb. 8.
"As we anticipate a surge in positive cases as people return to our campuses, this action will help us keep safety protocols in place," said Richard Myers, university president. "Last August we saw a surge in the fall when students returned and we were able to manage it well. As anticipated, cases spiked again as we neared the holidays and people moved indoors. We appreciate the tremendous efforts by our faculty, staff and students to help keep our communities safer."
Student services such as on-campus housing, libraries, recreation centers and Lafene Health Center will be operational on Monday, Jan. 25, following the same safety protocols as the fall semester. Move-in dates for spring 2021 on-campus housing will not change. Residents will receive an email on Monday, Jan. 11, with details regarding their return to the residence halls. Spring 2021 housing and dining charges and the campus privilege fee assessment will not be affected by this decision.
Research operations will proceed under current protocols and guidelines. As with the fall semester, once the two-week remote teaching period ends, faculty members will have the ability to temporarily adjust class modalities due to COVID-19 impacts on in-person class attendance or if the pandemic situation changes.
"Our experience in the fall semester taught us we can manage many of our venues through science-based mitigation methods," Myers said. "This allows for a more nuanced approach than we had last spring when virtually all operations were reduced."
The university has expanded symptomatic and asymptomatic testing available for students, faculty and staff members. Information about vaccines will be updated as available on the university website. The university has not been notified of any allocations of vaccines for students, faculty or staff other than essential medical personnel.
"We look forward to a much brighter future moving toward spring and summer as vaccines become more widespread," Myers said. "We want to start safe and remain safe through this semester so we can come back in full strength in the fall."

New Rosner op-ed for The Hill: The Democratic and Anti-Democratic Parties
Sunday, December 23rd, 2018
This article was originally published in The Hill, December 23, 2018.
A realignment of America's two major parties is under way. It will not be mostly defined by demographics, as some analysts have suggested. Rather, it will be defined by ideas about democracy and the rule of law. To put it simply, we are headed for an era in which America may well have a Democratic Party and an Anti-democratic Party.
This realignment, in large part, was driven by a crucial strategic choice the Republican Party made over the past decade, as described in a recent piece for The Atlantic by Vann Newkirk II. Soon after the GOP's 2012 presidential defeat, Reince Priebus, then chairman of the Republican National Committee, led a post-mortem analysis that was unusually blunt and prescient. It said the GOP must make big reforms in its outlook and agenda or risk electoral marginalization. In particular, it called for the GOP to support comprehensive immigration reform, liberalize its views on gay rights, demand reforms on corporate governance, and stop talking like a bunch of "stuffy old men" who leave younger voters "rolling their eyes at what the party represents."
The GOP did virtually none of this. Instead, it relied on tactics aimed at preserving power for a party that represented a steadily shrinking share of the population, mostly defined by non-urban, lower-educated whites. These tactics included gerrymandering, voter suppression, manipulation of the census process and efforts to stack the federal judiciary with like-minded jurists.
If Republicans after 2012 decided to go outside democratic norms to preserve their power, rather than to reform and align with the values of a majority of the rising American electorate, Donald Trump in 2016 put that strategy on steroids. His presidential candidacy — built on racially-charged language, offensive comments about women, nationalism and appeals to less-educated whites — snugly fit the imperatives of a party that was drifting away from a majority of the public. So, too, the recent power-grabs by Republican legislatures in North Carolina, Wisconsinand Michigan, which have moved to strip incoming Democratic governors or attorneys general of traditional powers, simply to preserve Republican power, even in the face of a popular vote for change.
But the Trump-era moves to preserve Republicans' power may have crossed an important line — a legal line. Disclosures by special counsel Robert Mueller and the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New Yorksuggest that some on the GOP team lied, during and/or after the 2016 election, about their interactions with the Russians, and Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, has pleaded guilty to his part in a hush-money scheme during the campaign involving two women who say they had extramarital affairs with Trump.
The march to apparent illegality was not confined to the 2016 presidential race. In the 2018 race for North Carolina's 9th Congressional District, it now appears that the campaign of GOP candidate Mark Harris, the uncertified winner, may have run an illegal scheme to skew absentee ballots in his favor.
The new legislative power-grab schemes in Wisconsin and Michigan almost certainly will face court challenges. Many Republicans who themselves are not breaking electoral laws or subverting democratic institutions are still condoning their party's anti-democratic bent by refusing to condemn such actions.
The slide toward extra-constitutional, illegal and anti-democratic tactics to preserve GOP power is becoming its new brand. Not coincidentally, Trump and the GOP have applied that brand to their foreign policy, abandoning the emphasis on democracy promotion that Ronald Reagan championed and replacing it with outspoken openness toward anti-democratic strongmen in places such as Russia, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, China and Turkey.
Some analysts suggest issues of race, gender and education will be dominant drivers in upcoming elections, since those demographic fault lines were so visible in recent voting. But another dynamic may define 2020 even more strongly. Should the various Trump investigationsproduce more evidence of law-breaking, a defining dividing line between the parties could become the question of democracy — which party is for it, and which is trying to subvert it.
Already, the incoming Democratic majority in the House has vowed that its first major bill will focus on democracy — making it easier to vote, limiting big money in politics and ensuring presidential candidates are more transparent about their finances.
All this mirrors what happened after Watergate. A year before Nixon's resignation, the dominant issues were the economy and the oil embargo. By the 1974 midterm, a focus on campaign finance reform helped to sweep in the 49-seat Democratic gain that became known as the "Watergate babies." And two years later, the focus on ethics and reform was enough to sweep in a moral reformer and Washington outsider from Georgia.
It could be that Republicans in coming months will begin to change path on issues tied to democracy and the rule of law, as new revelations emerge about Trump and as they ponder the extent of their losses in the recent House elections. They might finally begin to act on Reince Priebus's post-2012 urgings to adjust their policies and outlook. But if they continue to double down on preserving their power by any means, even as their voter base shrinks, their anti-democratic brand could become even more pronounced.


The African Union Commission (AUC), and Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), on Saturday 21st March jointly commemorated the International Day of Forests at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Speaking during the event, H.E. Rhoda Peace Tumusiime, Commissioner for Rural Economy and Agriculture (DREA) noted that the commemoration was not only about recalling the benefits of forests but equally about raising awareness on the dangers facing the global forest cover, especially in developing countries.
"The role of forests is increasingly being recognised in efforts to adapt to, and mitigate the negative impacts of climate change. Deforestation and forest degradation accounts for about 18 per cent of global emission of carbon oxide. Thus, controlling this source of emission is a crucial step in averting further global warming," she said.
Mrs. Tumusiime recalled that in June 2014, the AU Assembly called for the development of a Regional Framework on Sustainable Forest Management in Africa and that in implementing that landmark decision, the AU Commission, in collaboration with FAO Regional Office for Africa, is elaborating a Sustainable Forest Management Framework for the continent, which would contribute to laying a strong foundation for the rational utilization and management of Africa's forest heritage.
Officially launching the commemoration, H.E Diallo Amina Djibo, Niger's Ambassador to the AU and Vice Chair of the Permanent Representatives Committee said, the preservation of forests is cardinal as they are an important source of resources and livelihood.
She encouraged all African countries to do more for the social and economic development of their populations and for environmental sustainability.


Title: DIAGNOSIS OF AMERICAN FOULBROOD DISEASE IN HONEYBEES: A SYNTHESIS AND PROPOSED ANALYTICAL PROTOCOLS"
Citation: De Graff, D.C., Alippi, A.M., Brown, M., Evans, J.D., Feldlaufer, M.F., Gregorc, A., Hornitzky, M., Pernal, S., Schuch, D.F., Titera, D., Tomkies, V., Ritter, W. 2006. Diagnosis of american foulbrood disease in honeybees: A synthesis and proposed analytical protocols. Letters in Applied Microbiology. 43:583-590.
Interpretive Summary: American foulbrood is a devastating bacterial disease of immature honey bees. With the international movement of bees, there is a need to standardize diagnosis methods for this disease. This paper describes the clinical symptoms of disease in field colonies and several new and existing laboratory methods to determine the precise agent of disease. This information will be used by regulatory scientists and agencies involved in insuring the safe transport of bees. The information will also be used by researchers attempting to understand the disease and develop new methods of control.
Technical Abstract: American foulbrood (AFB) is the most devastating bacterial disease affecting the larval and pupal stages of the honeybee (Apis mellifera). As the discrimination between AFB and powdery scale disease could no longer hold stand, the pathogenic agent has recently been broadened up to the whole species Paenibacillus larvae. The creamy, sometimes dark brown glue-like larval remains represent the most obvious sign of AFB but several other clinical symptoms have been described. Sensitive and selective culture media are available for isolation of these spore-forming bacilli and the type of samples that can be collected for diagnosis of a suspect bee colony has further been expanded. PCR methods for identification of the pathogen and for genotyping have been developed. But when highly sophisticated equipment is lacking, the biochemical profiling of suspicious bacterial strains and several homemade or commercialized immunotechniques provide an adequate alternative for the molecular identification of P.larvae.

The Real Reason Why Netflix May Be In Big Trouble
For years, the name 'Netflix' has been synonymous with endless, joyful binge-watching — but current trends suggest that the company could be facing some seriously rough terrain in its bid to remain the world's premier streaming service. Here's why Netflix might be in seriously big trouble. There hardly seems to be a month that goes by in which some Netflix original movie or series doesn't light up the world of pop culture, but it's quickly becoming apparent that this knack for success can be a double-edged sword. The massive amounts of money that Netflix have sunk into their original offerings...

The Ottawa Citizen, by Elizabeth Payne
Running into the gender post
For all our advances, we still judge women and men differently
When my first-born daughter was an infant, I learned a valuable lesson about the depth of gender bias in society. Watching the coverage of Hillary Clinton's run for U.S. president during the past few weeks, I have been reminded of that lesson.
During the first winter of her life, my daughter wore a red snowsuit -- a political statement, another mother suggested, because I had foregone the more popular pink or pastel in favour of a strong colour. In truth, it was just a snowsuit -- probably chosen because it was on sale. But it led to some interesting social encounters.
Because people couldn't immediately identify her gender, they sometimes mistook my cute little bald bundle for a boy. I even encouraged the misunderstandings -- hey, wheeling around a sleeping baby can get pretty dull -- because I wanted to see what people would say. And their comments were striking.
Those who recognized her as a girl proclaimed her pretty and sweet and delicate. Those who saw her as a boy described her as strapping and strong and active. And each of those people probably imagined completely different possibilities for my daughter based on their biases.
What was going on?
The gender divide -- the very one that young women and men often laugh off and that many will argue has not existed for decades. Without even realizing it, we judge men and women by their gender.
It is so ingrained, in fact, that we don't even see it anymore. And that is particularly dangerous. Because of that, most of us fail to recognize the limitations it places on women and men.
But, you may ask, don't we live in an age when women have, notably, begun to dominate higher education and many professions? When girls really can do anything (except, perhaps, ski jump in the Olympics)?
I was wondering the same thing until primary season swung into gear south of the border.
After watching the coverage of Hillary Clinton in the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, I am convinced there is plenty stopping women from reaching for the top, despite appearances to the contrary.
The race to be the Democratic candidate for president has turned into a fascinating yardstick of American views toward race and gender. It has been called remarkable that a black man and a white woman are in a contest that favours the Democrats to end up in the White House.
Equally remarkable is the fact that -- despite being dubbed the "Comeback Kid" after her unexpected win in New Hampshire -- Clinton seems to have a larger barrier to overcome than does her chief rival, Barack Obama. While some pundits are calling the charismatic Obama the first post-racial candidate for the White House, no one is suggesting Clinton's run is post-gender. That barrier may often be invisible, but that makes it that much tougher to penetrate.
Which is why feminist icons such as Gloria Steinem have taken up Clinton's cause. In a New York Times opinion piece titled "Women Are Never Front-Runners," Steinem called gender "the most restrictive force in American life, whether the question of who must be in the kitchen or who could be in the White House." But while Steinem concludes by encouraging people to support Clinton because she'll "be a great president and because she's a woman," I long for the day when voters can feel free to not support candidates because they are a woman or a man but on their merits.
Until then, we will be left with our biases which, as current and former politicians can tell you, make an already tough political life tougher on women than men.
Clinton's near-tears, for example, became a focus of the New Hampshire primary. Their import and effect have been scrutinized and analysed to death, as has everything to do with the run for the White House, of course. They may well have helped win her the female vote in New Hampshire -- perhaps by women who identified with her age, the humiliation of eating the dust of a younger, more charismatic man, and the fact that women seem to be criticized no matter what they do. If they cry, they are seen as weak ("We are at war. Is this how she'll talk to Kim Jong-Il?" a security reporter asked when he watched the clip of Clinton's rare emotional moment). If they don't cry, they are seen as icy.
And emotions are not the only hot button for female candidates. Their clothes, even more so than for male candidates, are judged and parsed, as are their voices and speech patterns ("shrill" is a favourite adjective for female politicians who speak above a whisper).
All of which makes life as unpleasant as possible for female politicians and helps convince many that the barriers are too great to overcome and the pain of the effort is just not worth it.
Things are not much better in the business world, judging by a recent study of female business executives.The recently released Rosenzweig Report on Women at the Top Levels of Corporate Canada found that the number of women holding top executive positions in our biggest publicly traded companies fell to 31 last year from 37 the year before. That compares to 507 men in similar jobs. Report author Jay Rosenzweig wondered whether anything is going to change in the country's top corporate offices over the next 10 years. "Is the glass ceiling impenetrable in Canada?" he asked.
Meanwhile, American tween pop superstar Miley Cyrus, a.k.a. Hannah Montana, is selling out concerts across North America. Her repertoire includes these lyrics: "Who said, who said I won't be president/I say, I say you ain't seen nothin' yet."
It will be interesting to see if Hillary Clinton's campaign convinces more people that women belong in top jobs or whether, as has sometimes been the case with high-profile female politicians (Belinda Stronach comes to mind), it has the opposite effect.
If nothing else, it has reminded me, as did my experience with my infant daughter and the snowsuit, that, baby, we still have a long way to go.

Q: SonarQube false-positive "unused private methods should be removed" in static method Example code:
public static String foo(){
 return bar();
}

private static String bar(){
 return "";
}

SonarQube marks bar() function as unused, but SonarLint (IntelliJ, version 2.7.1.1640) works fine.
I have installed latest version of SonarQube (6.2) and latest version of Java plugin (4.5.0.8398), but still have this issue - i thought this issue was fixed?
Is this some kind of regression bug?
Thanks for your help.
UPDATE:
Above example was too trivial, i manage to specify problem: it looks like a problem with primitive arguments passed to function, for example this is marked as unused:
public static String foo( SomeClass a ) {
    return bar( a.getChar() );
  }

  private static String bar( char a ) {
    return String.valueOf( a );
  }

if i pass hardcoded value to bar (like bar('a') ) everything works fine (or even when i pass something like bar("string".charAt(0) ) ). SomeClass.getChar() return 'char' so it is not a problem with boxing primitives.
SOLUTION:
as @Michael - SonarSource Team suggested, there was a problem with dependencies bytecodes. I disabled teamcity Sonar runner plugin and now run sonarqube via Gradle plugin.

A: Many times there are some problem with sync of sonar server and sonar lint ,it is not with this single issue , it is also replicated in other issues as well like duplicate code.refer sonar server and try to solve
