A dwarf evergreen conifer, Pinus mugo pumilio is an even lower growing form of the Mountain Pine that carries upright branches, with attractive clusters of male flowers in spring and cones in the summer and autumn. Its dark green foliage forms a good ground cover in a low maintenance garden. Also called the Swiss Mountain Pine, it works well in an alpine or rock garden for added foliage interest. Also suitable for containers and urban patio gardens as it is tolerant of air pollution. Can be pruned to keep an attractive shape.

Why does this basket look different than your current Challenger Pump basket? This replacement challenger pump basket was built as a universal replacement with a much larger leaf catching capability and improved design found on most new models of pumps on the market today.
What is the status of the pump basket? I have not received it.
This filter fit perfect, great quality, and was the lowest priced anywhere!!
Made of heavier plastic material; thicker, and expect it to last longer. Allows higher volume of water to flow to pump with basket being taller and basket not as easy to clog with debris since it has nearly 50% more surface area.

Bathgate railway station is a railway station serving Bathgate in West Lothian, Scotland. Opened on 18 October 2010, it is close to the junction of the former Edinburgh and Bathgate Railway and the former Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway to the east of the 1986 station. Ticket gates are in operation.

History
In 2005, the Scottish Executive announced that the then-closed section of line between the 1989 Drumgelloch station and Bathgate would be rebuilt as a double tracked electrified railway, termed the Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link. This resulted in the closure of the 1986 station, replaced by the present station, 34 chains (a little under half a mile) east of the former station. The link connects with the North Clyde Line at Drumgelloch and the Edinburgh to Bathgate Line at Bathgate, forming a fourth rail link between Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The station opened on 18 October 2010, replacing the 1986 station, which closed at the end of the day's service on 16 October 2010. Rail replacement bus services were provided between Bathgate and Haymarket on Sunday 17 October 2010.

Services west of Bathgate commenced on 12 December 2010, with the route being incorporated into the North Clyde Line services.

Services

October to December 2010
At the time of opening in 2010, there was a half-hourly service from Bathgate to Edinburgh Monday to Saturdays with an hourly service on Sundays.

Winter 2010/11 (Interim timetable from 12 December 2010)
As a result of delays with commissioning of the Class 380 trains, insufficient Class 334 trains for the full service were available for the introduction of the intended timetable from 12 December 2010. Due to inclement weather some intermediate stations to Airdrie are provided with bus services whilst final works are completed.

Off-Peak Monday to Friday
 1tph Helensburgh Central <<>> Edinburgh Waverley
 3tph Bathgate <<>> Edinburgh Waverley

Monday to Friday after 6pm
 1tph Helensburgh Central <<>> Edinburgh Waverley
 1tph Bathgate <<>> Edinburgh Waverley

Saturday and Sunday
 2tph Helensburgh Central <<>> Edinburgh Waverley

Winter 2010/11 (Full service)
Following the opening of the line between Airdrie and Bathgate, the service was combined with Edinburgh to Bathgate service, the complete service when sufficient rolling stock is available is:

Off-peak Monday to Saturday
2tph Helensburgh Central <<>> Edinburgh Waverley
2tph Milngavie <<>> Edinburgh Waverley

Monday to Saturday after 6pm
 2tph Helensburgh Central <<>> Edinburgh Waverley

Sunday
 2tph Helensburgh Central <<>> Edinburgh Waverley

2016

The same daytime & Sunday frequency applies in the May 2016 timetable, with a few early morning services starting from here (in both directions) and terminating here in the evening.

Most sentinel events are attributable to human error. Causes of errors are manifold and often include complex human factors issues such as system design and organizational processes rather than individual incompetence. Therefore, any Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of a sentinel event cannot be considered "thorough and credible" unless it effectively examines the human factors that underlie errors that caused patient harm.
Ironically, current RCA methods, which are now mandated by the Joint Commission for all sentinel events, were NOT designed to identify human factors causes of errors. Rather, RCA is an engineering method designed to discover the causes underlying equipment and material failures. Thus, when RCA methods are used to analyze human factors, they typically produce superficial results, often focusing on "who did what" rather than on "why" an error occurred.
This paradox is a significant patient safety issue. Major concerns exist regarding the ability of traditional RCA methods to identify human factors issues or to generate effective corrective solutions to such problems. If healthcare is to become safer, a more "thorough and credible" RCA process for analyzing and correcting the most common causes of sentinel events (i.e., human factors) needs to be deployed.
The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) was designed to address this critical need. HFACS is an innovative methodology for conducting a comprehensive human factors analysis of sentinel events associated with human error. The HFACS method was originally developed by our team to facilitate the analysis of human factors associated with aviation accidents. It is based upon Reason' s "Swiss Cheese" model of accident causation, which conceptualizes human error as the product of complex interactions among myriad latent and active system variables.
HFACS translates Reason's theory into practice via a pragmatic framework or tool that systematically guides the process of collecting information, interviewing witnesses, and analyzing human factors data associated with adverse events. Since it original development for aviation, HFACS has been successfully applied across a variety of high-risk industries including healthcare. It has undergone extensive usability testing. Numerous studies by our team and others have shown HFACS to be a reliable analysis tool that can lead to effective corrective actions for reducing the recurrence of adverse events.

People often have difficulty discovering new was of solving a problem. They may also feel uncomfortable thinking "outside their box." As a result, they may limit their approach, focusing on only a very narrow set of options. Other times, people tend to look for "the best way" to attack an issue, hoping to find the one "silver bullet" that will completely eliminate the problem. However, such panaceas rarely exist. In their search for this illusive "best" solution, other opportunities for intervening are often ignored or overlooked.
The best approach for generating innovative ideas to solve a problem is to first come up with as many possible solutions as possible. However, a large number of solutions is not enough. Solutions should also address the problem from a variety of different approaches or perspectives. In other words, interventions need to attack the same problem from many different angles.
The HUMAN FACTORS INTERVENTION MATRIX (HFIX) is designed to help you accomplish these goals. Specifically, HFIX consists of a series of probes or questions that help you uncover multiple interventions to address a problem. The questions are also grouped around specific approaches to improving safety based on the HFACS-RCA framework. As result, HFIX facilitates the generation of a greater variety of approaches to attacking the same problem. The result is a more comprehensive list of possible solutions to choose from.
The next step, then, is to determine which ones of the numerous possible interventions should be recommended for implementation. To accomplish this goal, HFIX contains a method for evaluating each intervention using a set of criteria called FACES: Feasibility, Acceptability, Cost/Benefit, Effectiveness, and Sustainability. These criteria can be used to generate a final list of your top ideas that are most likely to have a positive impact performance or safety.
Applying the HFIX process will facilitate the identification of multiple innovative strategies that are more likely to be endorsed by leadership and more readily received by those impacted by the change.
Contact us or attend one of our workshops to learn more!
The best way to enhance performance is to identify and remedy barriers to success before they have a chance to cause problems. Common approaches include the use of near miss reporting systems, failure modes effects analysis (FMEA) and Six Sigma. Unfortunately, much like traditional RCA methods, these approaches are fundamentally engineering methods designed to uncover and help remedy mechanical and technical problems. Consequently, they are often difficult to apply when dealing with complex human factors and performance issues. However, with the integration of the HFACS and HFIX methodologies, these proactive approaches can be transformed into highly effective, proactive diagnostic tools.
Contact us to learn more about how you can use HFACS and HFIX to proactively identifying potential problems associated with human factors issues and generate innovative interventions to improve quality, safety and efficiency in your organization.
The old adage that many industries are "data rich but information poor" still rings true for many modern healthcare organizations. At HFACS, Inc., we can help turn data into information, information into knowledge, and knowledge into effective performance solutions. Our innovative methodologies and advanced analytical techniques can facilitate the identification of common patterns and trends that reflect the latent, system factors that underlie many of your performance barriers. Our advanced software can also help integrate your diverse databases and IT systems to uncover and solve even your most elusive barriers to success.

This place was introduced to me by Mark (not Mark Aaron Polger) when we were in grade 9 and has been a Toronto landmark for almost twenty years. Ice cream is served the "dutch way" with whipped cream and fruit on top. They have awesome homemade ice cream (over fifty flavours), gigantic sundaes, (check out the baked Alaska!)… Truly an ice cream lover's fantasy. Choosing what to order can be a difficult decision. You'll go back again and again so you can try everything on the menu!

Q: SQL Server sp_MSforeachtable script error Take the following script:
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1 = "DROP TABLE ?";

CREATE INDEX [ShowInLists] ON _adminServices ([ShowInLists]);

GO

EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1 = 'IF  (

                                            where   COLUMNPROPERTY(object_id(TABLE_SCHEMA+''.''+TABLE_NAME), COLUMN_NAME, ''IsIdentity'') = 1
                                            AND     TABLE_SCHEMA+''.''+TABLE_NAME = ''?''
                                        ) = 1
BEGIN
    SET IDENTITY_INSERT ? ON;
END;';

GO

INSERT INTO _adminServices (ServiceID, ServiceName, ManagerStaffID, ODMStaffID, ReferralInactivityDays, TargetSupportHours, ShowInLists, RecordEntryDate, RecordModDate) VALUES
(1, 'Service 1', 16, 18, 0, NULL, 1, '2017-07-21 11:59:56', '2017-10-25 09:38:02');

GO

When I execute the aforementioned script in SSMS I get the following error:

Msg 544, Level 16, State 1, Line 36
  Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table '_adminServices' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.

Can anyone tell me why?
EDIT: My goal is the following: I have multiple tables and multiple inserts.
For the Inserts I have the scripts. Since I don't want to write the SET IDENTITY_INSERT ON and OFF for every table since I just have the INSERT INTO queries on a file, I want a way to do the following:

*

*Delete all the tables in the DB

*Create all the tables (I have the SQL for this)

*Set all the required identities to ON

*Run the Inserts (I have the SQL for this)

*Set all the required identities to OFF

A: *

*sp_MSforeachtable run on another session in relation to your insert

*At any time, only one table in a session can have the IDENTITY_INSERT property set to ON.

General scheme of inserting the original value:

*

*CREATE TABLE

*SET IDENTITY INSERT ON

*INSERT VALUES

*SET IDENTITY INSERT OFF
If you table not have single structure sp_MSforeachtable you will not be suitable

             }catch(Exception e){
       JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,e);
   }
}

How can i recover from this exception?

A: Try to remove the wildcard from the sql and add it to the value:
String sql = "select * from STD where Name like ? ";
pst=conn.prepareStatement(sql);
pst.setString(1,"%"+TXT_STUDENTNAME.getText()+"%");

Similar question here

A: private void cmd_searchActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {

             }catch(Exception e){
       JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,e);

I think this will help you..

We stopped for supplies at Publix on the way down and I got a spicy turkey sub on wheat with provolone cheese, spicy mustard, and veggies.
I also had some handfuls of jalapeno pretzels.
Can you tell I like spicy things?
When we made it to the beach house I had one of the chocolate sugar cookies from our stash.
The beach was perfect. It's only accessible to guests and residents of the small island, so on a bad day you're still a good hundred feet from your closest lounging neighbor. awww…. paradise.
Derek and I grabbed a couple of chairs and proceeded to pass out for the next couple of hours. Don't worry – we loaded up (and reloaded up!) on the sunscreen!
It was only when some nasty clouds began to roll in that we decided to call it quits and head back to the condo. Derek had to literally force me off of that chair. Even with the bad clouds, I didn't want to leave!
Doesn't Maddie look so happy to be on a mini vacay?
My favorite – Cigar City Maduro. Yum.
Dinner tonight came courtesy of our stop at Publix earlier in the day. Since the only restaurant on the island is a bit overpriced, we had to make sure we came on the island with all the supplies we needed for three meals over two days. I kept it easy by going the burger route for dinner. I grabbed two pre-made bacon and cheddar beef patties, two whole wheat kaiser rolls, a bag of frozen sweet potato fries, a bag of frozen veggies, and a bottle ketchup for good measure. Easy. Peasy.
I was definitely missing my greens on the burger, but the simplistic route worked well. And the pre-made bacon cheddar beef patty? Holy yum. I would buy that again in a heartbeat!
After dinner we enjoyed an evening walk on the beach.
Guess who's sleeping in tomorrow? This girl.

A Tradition of Lochaber
by Mary Cameron Mackellar
Celtic Magazine
On the banks of the River Spean, and nearly opposite Keppoch, stands the farm house of "Inch" - "Tigh na h-Innse." At the time of which I write, the tacksman of this place was Ronald MacDonald, a cadet of the house of Keppoch. He was a brave young fellow, of a most soldierlike appearance, and of a high and noble spirit. He fell in love with the daughter of the chief of the MacMartin Camerons of Letterfinlay, "Eili na Leitreach" - as she was called - and the maiden responded to his affection with her whole heart. MacMartin, however, made an excuse of her extreme youth to delay their betrothal, but Ronald feared that the father was hoping to get a richer suitor for his beautiful daughter.
One day Ronald was out deerstalking, and towards night, when preparing to return home, he heard a woman's shriek on the mountain side. The men who were with him got frightened, thinking it was the cry of the "Bean-Shith," but Ronald knew the voice of his beloved. "Follow me," he cried hastily to his men, and before many minutes were over he overtook a gentleman of the clan Mackintosh, accompanied by some of his followers, carrying off Eili, who shortly before had utterly refused his offer of marriage. Ronald fought like a hero, and at last delivered his beloved from the rough hands that held her in bondage; she clung to him in gladness and joy; together they returned to her father's house, and as soon as Eili was in safety, he fell fainting on the floor. His brow had been cut in the most dreadful manner, and the blood streaming from the wound had been blinding him all the way down the hill, although he had said nothing to the maiden about it. He lay ill for a long time after, in Letterfinlay House, and when he returned home to Inch, he took his bride with him. She could not bear to be again separated from him, and her father admitted that he had nobly earned her.
The young pair were as happy as such lovers could be, and before they were married a year a daughter was born to them. Shortly after the birth of their child, Ronald found he had to go to the south on business, and though he felt sorry to be even so short a time parted from his wife, he cheered her with hopes of a speedy return. A young relative of his own, named Coll, was standing, holding the infant in his arms, as Ronald left the house. "If I do not return, whether will you marry my wife or my daughter?" asked Ronald laughingly. "Both perhaps," replied the lad. The time appointed for his return came, but no Ronald, and for many a weary night Eili sat up waiting to hear his well-known foot approaching the house, but all in vain. Months passed and years rolled on, but he came not, and then they ceased to expect him. Coll remained at Inch, faithful always to the lady and her young daughter, protecting them in every possible way.
Macintosh began to make proposals again to Eili; she felt sorely afraid of him, and as a protection against him, as well as to reward Coll, she made up her mind rather to marry her faithful friend who had managed everything so well for her during the years of her desolation. Her daughter was now upwards of fifteen years of age, and needed a guardian who could act with the authority of a father. The marriage was duly arranged, and all their mutual friends thought it was a very wise step for both to take. On the wedding day a wearied traveler came to the district, and on calling for a glass of water at a house by the roadside, he was told of the cause for the appearance of festivity about the house of Inch, when he said the following words, which have been handed down: -
"Chunnaic mi smùid do thigh na h-Innse,
'S bha mi cinnteach gu'r smùid bhainns'i,
'S tha mi 'n duil a Righ na Soillse,
Gur ann leams' tha biadh na bainnse."
He went on to the house and asked for food, which was placed before him in abundance. He inquired if the marriage ceremony was over, and he was told that it was. Then he said - "Will you ask the bride to do me the grace of giving me a glass of whisky out of her own hand, and I will give her my blessing." The bride came, still looking youthful and lovely. She filled the glass, and gave it to the stranger, who rose, and stood looking at her in silence, as if preparing to say words that refused to come. He took off his bonnet, and running his fingers through his hair exposed his brow. The lady looked, and saw the mark of the gash that had been made on her husband's brow on the night on which he had saved her from Mackintosh. She looked into his eyes, and crying aloud, "My darling, my darling," she fell on his bosom. It soon became known to the guests that the marriage ceremony of the morning was null and void, and no one was better pleased at the return of the long lost one than the generous-hearted Coll. "Come here my friend," said Ronald, "you cannot have my wife. I have, however, heard to-day of your faithfulness, and you shall have my daughter." The priest was called forthwith, and Coll was married to young Mariot, who had secretly loved him, and sorrowed over his marriage to her mother. "By my garment," cried Ronald, "you kept your word. You said if I did not return you would marry both my wife and daughter, but it was too bad to marry them both on the same day."
Ronald never told what kept him away those fifteen years. It was known that a tale of wrong and suffering could be related about his absence, and that Mackintosh was to blame for it. If Ronald would tell all, he said, the fiery cross would be out at once to gather the Macdonalds to avenge his wrongs; and having got home again he wished to live a life of peace. The happy pair had several children after that, and their grandchildren and their own played together round the same hearth in peace and happiness.

What works, for who, and why: Preventing loneliness in Bristol
Published on 29 July 2020 05:06 PM
"I love listening to people who have had a lifetime of experiences and come from all walks of life. Conversations are fluid, friendly, often reminiscent and always a pleasure."
Sabrina moved to Bristol seven years ago having lived in London and spending some time traveling abroad. She works for a video production company but was, like many, furloughed in April.
Although Sabrina was ready and trained for the Active Together project, this face to face style of volunteering had to be temporarily suspended due to the pandemic, and so instead, Sabrina was trained for the role of a telephone befriender.
Telephone befriending is a service that Age UK Bristol is offering through the Support Hub which provides practical, social and emotional support to older people during the pandemic. The social aspect of this support comes through online and telephone groups and activities, as well as one to one telephone befriending. A befriender at Age UK Bristol is someone who speaks on a regular basis to an older person in need of social support, the call usually lasts around 30 minutes. The volunteer will have a supervisor to check in with on a regular basis and also has the opportunity to get to know other befrienders.
Sabrina speaks to five people on a weekly basis who range between 61 to 92 years of age.
"The first phone call was pretty challenging. Whilst I felt prepared for how to set up the call from a professional and personal perspective, I couldn't foresee how the person on the other end of the line would respond, and after some initial circumstantial interruptions, we picked back up with a really uplifting call.
I've built up some really good relationships and always look forward to our calls. Some of the people I speak with are in their 60s and some are in their 90s; it's clear that there is a high volume of people suffering from isolation, loneliness, health concerns, chronic illness and general anxiety, particularly given the exceptional times we're currently experiencing.
I love listening to people who have had a lifetime of experiences and come from all walks of life. Conversations are fluid, friendly, often reminiscent and always a pleasure. It's great how quickly trust is established and conversations move between the arts, culture, lifestyle, family and health. Calls never feel long enough!
It feels great to be offering a service that people value, being a support mechanism to people who often just need an ear. My interest initially peeked in this particular service following a conversation with my own granddad, now 90 years old, remarking on how lonely he felt, even though he has a huge support network of family, friends and fellow peers in his current retirement home; it left me thinking of all those without such support.
A huge part of my job requires telephone communications; with prospective or existing clients, production crew, freelancers, to venues, talent, and so on, but being in a professional context makes it very different to befriending. Befriending is personal, it's defined by different boundaries and you are speaking with vulnerable people who need support.
While listening is always key in really positive communications, we can have a tendency to offer solutions or relate by talking about our own experiences, but in befriending the focus is on the person. I've understood how important it is to elicit conversation, navigate and support in a different way, and instead signpost to other services for advice about specific issues.
Talking with people over the phone rather than face to face interactions can also present some other challenges… you don't get to see the subtle cues or changes in body language, there are sometimes noise issues or other interference, pauses that you might want to jump in and fill. I've found over time these things become less relevant because you learn a different rhythm, you get to know each other's personalities, when a pause is ok for example. I've definitely developed my ability to respond to people's moods and talk with ease about distressing circumstances.
As we're living through a pandemic, contact has been so severely reduced and many people are feeling lonely and worried about their own as well as their family's health. And that goes for me as well - telephone befriending is a mutually beneficial experience. For me, I get to chat to new people, learn new things, and be active in our community."

Aug. 17, 2009: It's About More Than Health Care Reform: Ordinary Citizens Are Fed Up With Out-Of-Touch Government
08/17/2009 By Webmaster
IT'S ABOUT MORE THAN HEALTH CARE REFORM:
ORDINARY CITIZENS ARE FED UP WITH OUT-OF-TOUCH GOVERNMENT
I was discussing with my son, Ken, the free-for-alls taking place in town hall meetings around the country as angry people confront members of Congress over the Obama Administration's current health care reform proposals. It isn't all that surprising, he said, and it's not just about health care.
To put the situation in a context I could understand, he invents a couple named Murray and Gladys. He says Murray and Gladys are middle-class people who pay their taxes, vote, obey the law and ascribe to no particular political philosophy. It doesn't matter if the current administration in Washington is Republican or Democratic. Their dealings are with a federal bureaucracy riddled with red tape that never changes despite campaign rhetoric that it will.
Their member of Congress wouldn't know them from a deerfly because they don't contribute major bucks to said member's re-election campaign. They have no high-powered lobbyist to represent their interests in the halls of Congress. If they have the temerity to contact their representative or senator, they get a form letter thanking them and telling them how much their opinion is valued, which they know is a bunch of bull.
Murray and Gladys read about the soaring federal deficit and then they read about members of Congress and spouses traveling to places like Paris, the Caribbean and the Great Barrier Reef this year on junkets estimated at $10,000 or more per flying hour and staying in rooms costing up to $1,100 a night — all paid for by taxpayers.
If that "let 'em eat cake" attitude doesn't raise their blood pressure, they learn that after chastising business executives for flying on private jets, members of the House of Representatives slipped $550 million in the debt-ridden budget to add to the fleet of luxury Air Force jets used for trips like these, even though the Defense Department says it doesn't need them.
Now, the Obama Administration decides it is time to reform the nation's broken health care system. It is decision that is long overdue, but a decision about as poorly executed as UGA's tackling in last year's Tech game.
Murray and Gladys don't know what's in the plan. They don't know how much it will cost. They don't know how it will work. They fear it will make the federal government bigger and even more difficult to deal with. Yet, they are being asked by the politicians to "trust us." Yeah, right. What the geniuses in Washington don't understand is that Murray and Gladys didn't fall off a turnip truck.
Members of Congress who would prefer to handle health care reform quietly among themselves and the health care lobby (i.e. major contributors), are back in their districts and getting their imperial hides peeled by the Murrays and Gladys's of the world. Some members, like Georgia Rep. David Scott (D-13) whose hide is already thinner than a slice of prosciutto, publicly berate a questioner for — well — questioning him. Just what does he think this is — a democracy?
Democrats claim the raucous behavior in the town meetings is the work of nefarious Republicans and right wing nuts. Some of that may be true, but it is also true that ordinary citizens are angry and frustrated and relish the opportunity to get their hands on their elected officials out of their Washington sanctuaries. The debate may be about health care, but their ire goes far beyond that.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi opines that what is happening in these town hall meetings is "simply un-American." That is as insulting as it is elitist. If she spent less time with her nose in the air and put her schnozz in a history book, she would learn about the Boston Tea Party and the Whiskey Rebellion and Fries's Rebellion –just three examples of ordinary citizens rebelling against what they considered the high-handed actions of their government. That sounds pretty American to me.
I should have asked Ken if any ancestors of his fictitious couple, Murray and Gladys, might have been involved in some of the historical dustups with an out-of-touch government that had turned a deaf ear to their grievances. If so, I think I know how this story is going to turn out.

Q: iText 7change document renderer and continue on the last position How do you change the DocumentRenderer in iText7 and continue on the corect position? I need some paragraphs to be rendered in 2 columns, and then normal text.
This is what I have, but it not works as expected:
using (MemoryStream oDocumentStream = new MemoryStream())
{
    using (PdfWriter oDocumentWriter = new PdfWriter(oDocumentStream).SetSmartMode(true))
    {
        PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument(oDocumentWriter);
        Document document = new Document(pdfDocument);

        float offSet = 60;
        float columnWidth = (PageSize.A4.GetWidth() - offSet * 2 + 10) / 2;
        float columnHeight = PageSize.A4.GetHeight() - offSet * 2;

        //Define column areas
        Rectangle[] columns = new Rectangle[]
        {
            new Rectangle(offSet - 5, offSet, columnWidth, columnHeight),
            new Rectangle(offSet + columnWidth, offSet, columnWidth, columnHeight)
        };

        document.SetRenderer(new ColumnDocumentRenderer(document, columns)); //First renderer
        document.Add(*myparagraph*);
        document.SetRenderer(new iText.Layout.Renderer.DocumentRenderer(document)); //Second renderer
        document.Add(*myparagraph*);
        document.Close();
    }

    oPdfFile = oDocumentStream.ToArray();
}

The issue with this approach is that the second renderer don't continue where the first renderer ended, therefore they overlap, as you can see in this image:

Ibn Uraij reported: 'Ati' reported that jibir b. Abdullah came to perform 'Umra, and we came to his abode, and the people asked him about different things, and then they made a mention of temporary marriage, whereupon he said: Yes, we had been benefiting ourselves by this temporary marriage during the lifetime of theHoly Prophet ﷺ and during the tinie of Abi!

By Mary E. Alcock, Helena K. Grannis & Julian Cardona
The following post was originally included as part of our recently published memorandum "Selected Issues for Boards of Directors in 2021".

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, technology and the culture change brought by a new generation of workers had already commenced an irreversible shift in paradigm that established…

Stakeholder attention to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues continued to grow throughout 2020 driven by the COVID-19 pandemic (health and safety), the Black Lives Matter movement (diversity and inclusion) and worldwide wildfires (climate change), to name a few. Prodded by investors and other stakeholders, companies have increasingly realized the importance to…
The Short-Termism Debate
By Nick Grabar & Fernando A. Martinez
The following post was originally included as part of our recently published memorandum "Selected Issues for Boards of Directors in 2021". A curious feature of the past three years has been the intertwined controversies over earnings guidance, corporate "short-termism" and the quarterly disclosure system. The discussion has been illuminating, and, while further regulatory attention now seems unlikely, the perils of neglecting the long-term will likely continue to color how analysts, regulators and investors…

Diversity has long been a focus for both companies and stakeholders, but 2020 in particular saw diversity come to the forefront of stakeholders' agendas.

The following post was originally included as part of our recently published memorandum "Selected Issues for Boards of Directors in 2021".

Crisis Management in Unprecedented Times
By Jennifer Kennedy Park & Nowell Bamberger
The following post was originally included as part of our recently published memorandum "Selected Issues for Boards of Directors in 2021". For companies and boards managing crises or cross-border matters, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges that in many ways fundamentally change how we think of crisis management.

Increased ESG Focus Shows No Signs of Slowing Down in 2021
By Helena K. Grannis & Katherine Denby
The following post was originally included as part of our recently published memorandum "Selected Issues for Boards of Directors in 2021". The focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters at public companies continues to grow despite, or perhaps in part because of, the COVID-19 pandemic.

While best practices, disclosure requirements and ESG ratings are…
Shareholder Engagement Trends and Considerations
By Jeffrey D. Karpf & Jee Eun (Jean) Lee
The following post was originally included as part of our recently published memorandum "Selected Issues for Boards of Directors in 2021". In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainty, divisive politics and a historic social justice movement presented unprecedented challenges for boards. While the pandemic eliminated the concept of an in-person boardroom, as well as investor site visits, one-on-one meetings at conferences and strategy retreats, work did not slow, and most directors reported devoting…
Selected Issues for Boards of Directors in 2021
By Cleary Gottlieb
In 2020, many directors and members of senior management faced their most challenging year ever. Maybe the lessons of such a turbulent year will prove sufficient for 2021, but that seems unlikely. To prepare this memo, we asked our colleagues in a wide range of disciplines to boil down what we learned from last year, and to look around the corner for what to expect in 2021. The result is a compendium of the trends…

Янго́н (, бірм. ရန်ကုန်မြို့, раніше Рангун) — найбільше місто та колишня столиця М'янми.

Населення міста — 4 млн або 6 млн в агломерації.

Хоча з березня 2006 року столицею країни є Найп'їдо, Янгон надалі залишається головним економічним центром країни. Інфраструктура Янгона розвинута погано в порівнянні з іншими великими містами Південно-Східної Азії. Центральні райони міста мають багато сучасних будівель, хоча і зберігають забудову колоніального періоду.

Етимологія
Янгон — це комбінація двох бірманських слів ян і коун, які в перекладі відповідно означають «вороги» і «закінчитися». Таким чином, назва міста можна перекласти як «Кінець ворожнечі». Колоніальна назва «Рангун», швидше за все, виникла в результаті англізації вимови назви міста на араканському діалекті бірманської мови .

Історія міста

Ранній період
Янгон має багату і давню історію. Як стверджую археологи ще в V ст. до н. е. тут, на березі річки Янгон, існувало поселення під назвою Оккала. Жителі Оккали займалися в основному рибним ловом. На початку XI століття (в 1028-1043 рр.) на місці Оккали виникло поселення народу мон, що стало відоме як Дагон. Дагон був невеликим рибальським селом, що виросло навколо пагоди Шведагон. В 1755 році, король Алаунпайя завоював Дагон, перейменувавши його «Янгон». Британці окупували Янгон під час Першої Англо-Бірманської війни (1824-1826), однак місто було повернуто бірманцям після закінчення війни. Місто було зруйноване пожежею 1841 року.

Колоніальний період

Британці встановили контроль над Янгоном і всієї Нижньої Бірмою за підсумками Другої Англо-Бірманської війни в 1852 році. Британська адміністрація послідовно перетворила Янгон в комерційний і політичний центр Британської Бірми. Янгон був місцем заслання останнього імператора імперії Великих Моголів Бахадур Шаха II, після індійського повстання 1857 року. Ґрунтуючись на плані армійського інженера лейтенанта Олександра Фрейзера британці збудували нове місто з правильною сіткою кварталів в дельті, на ділянці, обмеженій зі сходу річкою Пазундонг Крик, а з півдня і заходу — річкою Янгон. Янгон став столицею всієї Британської Бірми після капітуляції Верхньої Бірми в результаті Третьої Англо-Бірманської війни в 1885 році При британцях був заснований центральний госпіталь Рангуна і Рангунський університет.

Колоніальний Янгон, з його парками і озерами і міксом західної та традиційної дерев'яної архітектури, здобув популярність як «місто-сад Сходу».

Перед початком Другої світової війни близько 55 % з півмільйонного населення Янгона складали вихідці з Індії та інших країн Південної Азії, і лише третина — бірманці. Частину населення становили карени, бірманські китайці, англо-бірманці та інші.

Янгон був центром національно-визвольного руху на чолі зі студентами-комуністами з Рангунского університету. Три загальнонаціональні страйки проти британського панування в 1920, 1936 і 1938 роках починалися в Янгоні.

З 1942 по 1945 рік Янгон був окупований японськими військами. Звільнений союзниками в травні 1945 року. Місто сильно постраждало під час війни.

4 січня 1948 Янгон став столицею Бірманського союзу.

Сучасний Янгон
Незабаром після здобуття Бірмою в 1948 році незалежності багато колоніальних назв вулиць і парків були замінені на бірманські. У 1989 році місту повернено назву Янгон. У постколоніальний період Янгон активно забудовувався. У 1950-ті як міста-супутники були забудовані такі райони міста як Такете, Північна і Південна Оккалапа, в 1980-ті — Хлайнтайа, Швепіта і Південний Дагоун. Сьогодні площа Великого Янгона становить приблизно 600 км².

Янгон розташований в Нижній М'янмі у злиття річок Янгон і Баго приблизно за 30 км від затоки Мартабан.

Клімат
Клімат Янгона згідно класифікації кліматів Кеппена — тропічний мусонний. З травня по жовтень триває сезон дощів, в який випадає велика частина річної норми опадів; в сухий сезон (з листопада по квітень) кількість опадів мінімальна. У сухий сезон погода спекотна: середній максимум досягає +37 °C в квітні, середній мінімум при цьому +24,3 °C.

Адміністративно-територіальний поділ

Янгон управляється Комітетом з розвитку Янгона (YCDC). Комітет також координує питання міського планування. Місто поділено на 4 округи. Округи об'єднують 33 райони. Кожен район управляється комітетом районних лідерів, які приймають рішення з питань благоустрою та розвитку інфраструктури. Їх юрисдикція не поширюється на міста-супутники.

Населення
Янгон — найгустозаселеніше місто М'янми, проте оцінки чисельності населення міста дуже різні (останній перепис населення в М'янмі проводилася в 1983 році). За оцінкою ООН, в 2010 році населення міста становило 4,35 мільйона чоловік, проте згідно з оцінкою Державного департаменту США 2009 року населення міста становило 5,5 мільйона чоловік. Швидше за все, оцінка Державного департаменту США точніше, оскільки оцінка ООН не враховує розширення меж міста за останні два десятиліття. Після 1948 року населення міста значно зросло за рахунок міграції населення з інших регіонів країни (в основному, власне бірманців) в такі міста-супутники як Південна Оккалапа і Такете в 1950-ті і в Східний, Північний і Південний Дагоун в 1990-х. Рішення про перенесення столиці в Нейп'їдо стало причиною переїзду невідомої кількості цивільних службовців.

Янгон — найбільш багатонаціональне місто країни. Якщо до Другої світової війни відносна більшість населення Янгона становили індуси, то сьогодні більшість населення міста мають бірманське походження. Великі громади складають вихідці з Індії та інших країн Південної Азії і бірманські китайці, все ще переважно проживають в кварталах, прилеглих до даунтауна. Не є рідкістю змішані шлюби — особливо між бірманцями і китайцями. Також у місті проживає значна кількість араканців і каренів.

Основною мовою спілкування є бірманська. Популярними мовами для вивчення, крім англійської, є китайська, японська, французька і корейська.

Економіка

Янгон — головний торговельний і промисловий центр країни, центр індустрії розваг і туризму. У місті виробляється п'ята частина валового внутрішнього продукту М'янми. Згідно з даними офіційної статистики за 2010-2011 податковий рік, розмір економіки Янгона склав 8930 млрд к'ят, або 23 % національного ВВП

Місто — ключовий комерційний центр Нижньої М'янми для всіх видів товарів — від основних продуктів харчування до старих автомобілів, хоча розвитку торгівлі суттєво перешкоджає нерозвинений банківський сектор та стан інфраструктури. В Янгоні розташований ринок Баїннаунг — найбільший центр торгівлі рисом, квасолею, бобовими та іншими сільськогосподарськими товарами. Також в Янгоні розташований найбільший і найбільш завантажений порт країни — Тхілава. В Янгоні велика частка неофіційної торгівлі, основним місцем якої є вуличні ринки, розташовані вздовж вулиць Даунтауна. Однак 17 червня 2011 року, Міський комітет з розвитку оголосив про майбутню заборону торгівлі на вулицях (була дозволена з третьої години дня), та дозвіл вуличної торгівлі тільки в районах проживання. З 1 грудня 2009 року в Янгоні заборонено використання поліетилену високої щільності і пластикових пакетів.

Промисловість створює значне число робочих місць. Янгон оточує, як мінімум, 14 промислових зон, на 4300 підприємствах, розташованих в яких, станом на 2010 рік було зайнято близько 150 тисяч робочих. Місто — центр швейної промисловості, її продукція щорічно експортується з країни на суму 292 мільйонів доларів США. Для більше 80 % фабричних робітників зайнятість є постійною. Багато хто з них молоді жінки у віці від 15 до 27 років, які прибули в Янгон з інших районів країни в пошуках кращого життя. Промисловість страждає від структурних (наприклад, хронічна нестача потужностей) і політичних (економічні санкції) проблем. У 2008 році потреба 2500 фабрик Янгона в електроенергії становила 120 МВт, потреби всього міста оцінювалися від 250 МВт до 530 МВт. Хронічна нестача електроенергії є причиною обмеження роботи промислових підприємств з 6 до 8 вечора

Важливим джерелом зайнятості також є будівництво. На індустрії негативно позначився переїзд багатьох урядових установ і цивільних службовців в Нейп'їдо. Згідно новими будівельними нормативами, прийнятими в серпні 2009 року, забудовники зобов'язані передбачати створення не менше 12 паркувальних місць на кожен поверх будівлі, що зводиться. У 2009-2010 фіскальному році було видано тільки 334 дозволи на будівництво (582 в 2008-2009 році).

Важливим джерелом надходження іноземної валюти є туризм, хоча в порівнянні з іншими країнами Південно-Східної Азії потік туристів є незначним — близько 250 000 до шафранової революції у вересні 2007 року. Число туристів впало після шафранового революції і урагану Наргіз. Нещодавнє поліпшення політичного клімату в країні привертає все більше число іноземних туристів і підприємців. У 2011 році пасажиропотік міжнародного аеропорту Янгона склав від 300 000 до 400 000 чоловік. Однак, через недоінвестування тільки 3000 із загального числа 8000 готельних місць «придатні для розміщення туристів».

Освіта

В Янгоні розташовані найкращі освітні установи М'янми. Проте в місті яскраво виражена нерівність можливостей між бідними і багатими школами. Практично позбавлені державного фінансування — школи змушені покладатися на добровільні та примусові збори і пожертвування з боку батьків, що є причиною залишення навчання багатьма учнями з бідних сімей.
 Вища освіта
В Янгоні розташовано близько 20 університетів і коледжів, в тому числі найстаріший і найбільш відомий університет М'янми — Янгонський університет, однак сьогодні він готує в основному аспірантів і не реалізує програми бакалаврату. Після національного повстання 1988 року, військовий уряд закрив університет і перевів велику частину студентів університету в нові виші, такі як Університет Дагоуна, Університет Східного Янгона і Університет Західного Янгона. Тим не менш, найкращі виші країни як і раніше знаходяться в Янгоні. Деякі спеціальності можна отримати тільки у вишах міста. Найпопулярнішими вишами є Перший і Другий медичні університети, Янгонський технологічний університет, Університет комп'ютерних досліджень і Морський університет М'янми.

Транспорт
Янгон — найбільший транспортний вузол країни.

Повітряний транспорт
, розташований за 19 км від центру міста, є головною повітряною гаванню країни. З нього здійснюються прямі рейси в найбільші міста Азії — Дакку, Ханой, Хошимін, Гонконг, Токіо, Пекін, Сеул, Гуанчжоу, Тайбей, Бангкок, Куала-Лумпур, Куньмін і Сінгапур, а також внутрішні рейси по 20 напрямам, основні з них — в Паган, Мандалай, Хехо, Нгапалі і Нейп'їдо.

Залізничний транспорт

Центральний вокзал Янгона — головний термінал залізниць М'янми — мережі із загальною протяжністю 5403 км.

Кільцева залізниця Янгона протяжністю 45,9 км, налічує 39 станцій, пов'язує передмістя Янгона. На поїзди, що курсують по лінії, щодня продається близько 150 тисяч квитків.

Автотранспорт
Загальна протяжність автодоріг Янгона становить 4456 км (станом на березень 2011 року). Більшість доріг знаходяться в жалюгідному стані і не справляються з потоком машин. Велика частина жителів міста не може дозволити собі мати особистий автомобіль і користується громадським транспортом. На приблизно 3000 маршрутах публічних і приватних перевізників діє близько 6300 автобусів, що перевозять близько 4 400 000 пасажирів на день. Всі автобуси і 80 % таксі в Янгоні працюють на стиснутому природному газі відповідно до урядового указу 2005 року. У місті діє два міжміських автовокзали

З 1970 року в Янгоні діє правосторонній рух. Тим не менш, на дорогах міста до цих пір можна зустріти досить багато праворульних автомобілів, зроблених для лівостороннього руху (в основному, ввезених з Японії).

Водний транспорт
4 головні пасажирські пристані Янгона, розташовані в центрі міста, обслуговують в основному місцеві пороми, наступні в Далу, Танхлїн і дельту Іраваді. 35-км канал Тванте є найбільш коротким шляхом, що зв'язує з 1990-х Янгон і дельту Іраваді.

Пам'ятки

 Величезна золота ступа Шведагон височить над містом. Навколо ступи — храмовий комплекс з декількох десятків павільйонів. Для іноземців обладнані спеціальні ліфти, щоб не підніматися на платформу по сотнях сходинок. По периметру платформа розділена на 8 частин, відповідних 8 світилам та 8 дням тижня (у традиційному бірманському астрологічному календар і середа ділиться на дві частини). У кожній з восьми секцій знаходяться павільйони, де розташовуються святилища духів — натів. За традицією, підношення натам і медитації в павільйоні, відповідному дню тижня, коли людина народилася, призводять до виконання бажань. В одному з павільйонів висить дзвін, який англійці, намагаючись відвезти, втопили в річці, а бірманські інженери витягли з мулу і поставили назад. Навпроти Шведагона — ще одна пагода меншого розміру — Маха Візая, яка, тим не менш, не має для віруючих особливого сакрального значення і відвідується значно гірше. Її звів в 1980 році генерал Не Він, який правив країною в 1962-1988 роках, щоб, за прикладом государів давнини, поліпшити власну карму.
 Ступа Суле, розташована в самому центрі міста на перехресті головних вулиць, за переказами, зберігає волосся Будди. У ступи Суле приносять квіти буддам днів тижня і поливають їх водою.

 У комплексі Ботатхаун навколо ступи побудований дзеркальний лабіринт із золотими реліквіями останнього короля Бірми Міндона.
 Ступа Каба Ей була побудована за пропозицією першого прем'єр-міністра незалежної Бірми У Ну до 6-го Всесвітнього буддійському Синоду, що відбувся в 1954-1956 рр. Навколо ступи стоять зображення Будди, привезені з усіх буддійських країн світу.
 Величезний лежачий Будда знаходиться в павільйоні Чаутхачжі Пайя. На ступнях — малюнок «сліду» Будди, за яким астрологи визначили його майбутнє.
 Синагога Мусмеах Єшуа, заснована ще під час англійського панування. Більшість єврейських сімей давно покинули Бірму, і синагога обслуговує переважно посольства та іноземців.
