Six days without a Connecticut Sun Game?
By: Hannah Oberman-Breindel
Six days without a Connecticut Sun game left me feeling quite bereft, but luckily there were two games this weekend to make up for the long absence. With wins on both Friday night and Sunday afternoon, the Sun (and Sun fans) can head into the Olympic break feeling hopeful and excited for August.
On Friday night, the Sun faced the Atlanta Dream, who had gone 2-9 in their last 11 games and were reeling from an unresolved conflict that left Dream star Chennedy Carter suspended from the team. (You can read speculation about Carter's suspension all over Twitter, as well as in this piece by Spencer Nusbaum for The Next.) The Dream certainly could have used Carter's dynamic scoring and playmaking ability on Friday night. The Sun beat the Dream 84-72 and clinched a spot in the Commissioner's Cup final in the process.
Though the Dream made it tricky for the Sun to score, the Sun found a way. The team's three all-stars, Jonquel Jones (24 pts/16 rebounds), DeWanna Bonner (22 pts/5 rebounds/4 assists/2 steals), and Brionna Jones (16 pts/9 rebounds/4 assists), carried the offense. But it was on the defensive end that the Sun shone (sorry! It's true!). Briann January had a ridiculous +24 point differential while she was in the game, more than anyone else on the team, and she held all-star Courtney Williams to only 8 points, making January's value to the team abundantly clear.
The Sun's defensive performance was consistent with how the Sun have played all season: with a defense-first mentality. Over the course of the first half of the season, the Sun allowed their opponents fewer points per game (73.2) than anyone else in the league.
Against the Liberty on Sunday, the Sun continued to let their stifling defense lead them to victory. The Sun won the game 71-54, and although Jonquel Jones continued to stuff the stat sheet (more on that in a second) and pad her resume as an MVP-candidate, it was the team's defense that stood out. The Sun held the Liberty to only 28 points at the half; the Liberty barely doubled that total over the course of the game. There was a stretch of almost eight minutes during which the Liberty didn't score a single point, and over the course of the game, the Liberty shot only 30.4% from the floor. Jasmine Thomas, Briann January, and DeWanna Bonner were particularly disruptive to the Liberty's offense, January with three steals. That trio helped hold the Liberty's two best scorers, all-star Betnijah Laney and three-point-contest-foe Sami Whitcomb to 3 and 5 points respectively, by far their lowest scoring games of the season.
Against the Liberty, Jonquel Jones was playing on another level. She finished the game as the Sun's leader in scoring (17 pts), rebounding (17!) and assists (5), finishing the game with her 10th double-double of the season. On Wednesday, she'll compete against Team USA as a WNBA all-star, and in the newly introduced three-point contest as well. Currently JJ is shooting 44.4% from deep, the second best percentage in the league among players with at least 50 3-point attempts (thanks to HerHoopsStats for the statistic).
It'll be a long time before the Sun suit up and take the floor again as a team (they next play the Dallas Wings on August 15th). Curt Miller said that he'll be giving his players two full weeks of rest before reconvening for practice so that they can recover their physical and mental health.
But before the Sun return together, Bonner, B. Jones, and J. Jones will be competing together as WNBA all-stars against Team USA. Jonquel Jones, who is Bahamian and plays internationally for Bosnia and Herzegovina said, "Listen, we want to beat Team USA. I want to tell my grandkids, 'Back in 2021, we beat the gold medal team'…This is the closest I'm going to get to a gold medal." It's going to be an all-star game for the ages.

Recently I heard about a new Marvel comics TV show that is being released soon "Daredevil" and thought to myself, cool I'd love to see that! The problem is this show is going to be exclusive to Netflix and though I used to be a subscriber however I switched from Netflix to Hulu Plus a couple years back due to a larger Anime content on Hulu.
Now I would really like to see this show but I highly doubt I am going to sign up for Netflix just to see it. With that being said I think the point of this discussion is going to be two fold. The first is what do you think of them making a Daredevil Tv show ? Myself I think it will be a good things and will go a long way to repair that damage done by the Daredevil movie which was a bit of a bomb if you ask me.
The second part of the discussion is your thoughts on the strategy Marvel is going with this show and making it exclusive content for Netflix and it's subscribers? I guess it comes down to the same old deciding factor it has always boiled down to, Money! I have to assume that Netflix either is offering move money for the show, or there are not any television networks that have any interest in the product ? With the Popularity of Superheroes shows these days I find the second very hard to believe but suppose it is always possible.
So what do you fold have to say ? Are you interested in watching a Daredevil tv show ? Would you subscribe to Netflix to watch it if you do not already have it ? And lastly is there anyone out there that would be willing to review this show for Heromachine when it comes out since I am not likely to watch it myself unless I find a friend that has netflix and would like to trade access to his/her account for access to either my Hulu or Crunchyroll account.
I like the idea of a Daredevil TV series, but I just don't like the character enough to want to pay for the subscription to Netflix.
One question I have is, is this TV series tied in to the MCU in any way? Because if it is, then it will be good. I mean, it can't be as bad as the movie. Nothing can be that bad… anymore anyway.
As I understand it, it will be tied to the MCU. It will be followed up with a Jessica Jones series (Filming now in New York), then Luke Cage, then Iron fist, then a Defenders mini series.
I would prefer that it be on a broadcast network to get it in front of more people, but Netflix partnered up with them and are helping finance it. It's a bold – and smart – move on Netflix's part. They saw the writing on the wall and wanted to be a part of the MCU.
The plan is to put all of the episodes up at once – if you are interested, just get netflix for a month. I don't think there are any contracts with them, then marathon it one weekend, Or see if you can get a free trial period.
But hey, if you like it, and want to see more, then I'd consider a permanent subscription – more money, more viewers, means more content. There's a lot of materiel they could work with for some of the low powered characters. Punisher series anyone? Netflix could pull it off, and not be constrained by network rules for violence, drugs, etc..
I read that it'll be a part of the MCU but you won't see any tie-ins to the movies or Agents of Shield. Basically, if it's popular enough they will consider making it a movie. I've heard they also plan on doing Iron Fist, Luke Cage and possibly others and then some kind of team-up with all these in the future.
@JR: From what I understand, ALL marvel series are tied to the MCU. Agents of Shield and Agent Carter are already tied in. There is also a proposed Luke Cage and Iron Fist series.
I like the idea of more series, as I think the comic medium has a lot to offer in story telling material, but as always, it depends on what they do with the character. I loved the idea of the movie, specially that they were using what most people think is one of the best Deredevil story arcs, but the movie bombed despite that. Casting is also essencial as we saw that neither Afleck nor Gardner were convincing in their roles.
Will I sign up for Netflix? no. Will I find a way to watch the series (at least the first episodes)? Heck yeah.
Netflix is doing it as a short 13 episode run. That would never work on network TV, but it allows a much tighter more focused story without the padding and filler episodes that a full series ends up with (in other words, the biggest problem with Agents of Shield). I won't pay for Netflix just for these. I'll probably wait for DVD release.
I can't say I would subscribe to Netflix just to watch Daredevil as I've never been a fan of the character. The other shows however (Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica "Jewel" Jones) I probably would. That said, I've been subscribing to Netflix for years already so the whole issue is kind of a moot point for me.
I think of all these future Marvel shows, I'm kind of looking forward to the Jessica Jones one the most and I don't know why.
Netflix and Disney has some type of deal with each other from what I understand. When Netflix lost a lot of shows a few years back, they picked up a fair amount of Disney's shows. I have found that the Netflix shows are really good.
I already have Netflix, so I'll be watching it. I don't know if I can write a review worthy to be sent to be published the blog, but I'll gladly post something in the forums and/or tag-team with someone and help them write the article if they want a second opinion.

Listening to our customers and responding to their requirements is an integral part of our engagement and is at the heart of everything we do. By responding positively to stakeholder feedback we have started to transform our business, delivering on the challenges that were important to them.
We are delighted to confirm we have made significant progress on the delivery of our commitments and that these have been well received by our stakeholders.
We will develop an interactive tool on our website that will provide clear guidance on our customer connections processes. This will include information on application, design, acceptance, Land Rights, delivery and metering. We will also develop a separate tool for our ICPs/IDNOs.
New website went live on the 24th of November with the new customer journey and ICP/IDNO journey published. This allows the customer to navigate directly to their area of interest quicker and provides a more, indepth level of information. The addition of the ICP/IDNO journey makes the key steps explicit for this segment especially the key milestone and actions that are required.
We will improve the consistency and application of every aspect of the connections process across our districts, in the way we communicate throughout the lifecycle of a project. This will clearly define the method of contact, who is responsible for each stage of the project, the appropriate timescales and effectiveness of the communication. We will focus on our communication at design, delivery and our Land Rights project stages, as these are identified as our stakeholders' priorities. For Land Rights, we will also commit to providing regular updates on the progression as agreed with the customer but no less than once a month.
Comprehensive process created and rolled out to districts with regular updates from project management to customers including system access and updates on Land Rights.
There will be upfront conversations on capacity constraints, with cost and timescale estimates outlined for a range of areas, such as land and planning, telecommunications, transmission restrictions and key equipment that may be required.
Building on the success from last year's website improvements, we will further improve the online experience by simplifying navigation of our connections area of the website and editing content based on stakeholder feedback.
New website went live on the 24th of November with positive feedback from our online community.
This included creating separate land and planning and stakeholder information sections on the website, that provide a wide and varied range of details including policies, templates and key updates that customers can use. These and other similar changes have improved the navigation of the site and made it easier to find key information while at the same time increasing the level of detail available.
Building on our well established stakeholder workshops, we will use alternative communication channels to deliver key messages and updates. This will include online tutorials and SPEN hosted webinars. We will test each alternative communication channel to measure success and determine its effectiveness.
Six video clips and the full presentation from the DG constraints workshops from our SPD and SPM areas have been published on the website. The RAdAR tutorial video have also been published. These are available to our stakeholders to view anytime to allow them access to our workshops and to refresh their knowledge at any time. This is uploaded to the website for the stakeholders to view at any point, giving access on key information on workshops if a stakeholder could not make the workshop and or if the just wish to refresh or share the information at a later date to ensure they can refresh themselves on SP Energy Networks latest thinking.
We will continue to work in partnership with existing groups of stakeholders to inform them of our strategy and policies. We will actively seek new partnerships to help communicate the important innovative and commercial developments within our industry. We will progress new opportunities from customers/community groups/stakeholders within our licence areas to broaden our range of partnerships. We will communicate the learning of each partnership to ensure any outcomes are shared.
SPD - Solar Trade Association, National Farmers Union and Scottish Renewables all in advanced discussions on partnership working with the STA partnership delivering a change in policy to increase the threshold to 200kVA without need for SoW.
SPM - Ongoing partnerships with Welsh Government funded Flintshire Virtual Private Network, Energy Local Bethesda, Liverpool City Region and Liverpool City Council. New partnerships recently established with the Cheshire Energy Hub and the Cheshire West and Chester Council Heat Network Project in Chester and Ellesmere Port.
We will agree key milestones at the outset of each project, and a delivery programme which reflects the project commitments of our customers and SPEN.
Robust project management templates created for projects involving 33kV full, 33kV POC and 11kV - with web versions published.
These are being piloted in Central and Fife and Lanarkshire and a training plan is being drawn up for roll out to all districts.
These templates are now being rolled out across our two licence areas.
Through stakeholder feedback and the 2017 ICE Action Plan, it was identified that there is very little reference to Land Rights and the land and planning processes throughout the connections customer journey. This can lead to a lack of understanding of the requirements and responsibility of both SP Energy Networks and the customer in obtaining appropriate land rights and planning consents associated with project delivery. It was felt that the customers' expectations were not properly managed from the outset, leading to misunderstanding and miscommunication of the Land Rights process.
The connections offer letter was re-drafted to include standard wording around Land Rights; what they are, when they are required, the roles of both SP Energy Networks and the customer and some indicative timescales. The letter has been signed off by SP Energy Networks and is in circulation.
Furthermore, the Land Rights section of the SPEN website was developed with a new look and feel. There is now a specific section on "Land Rights for Connections Customers" inclusive of information on timescales and potential risks or delays during the Land Rights process.
Lead times and process millestones were reviewed, refined and published internally to help support staff communicate the land rights process to our customers.
An internal training programme has commenced, educating staff on Land Rights, planning processes and associated timescales. Roll out will continue during this year.
A review of access to the Land and Planning project tracker was undertaken to ensure access and utilisation by project managers to facilitate regular communication with customers.
Through attendance at the connections stakeholder panels, stronger relationships have been built with key connections stakeholders, allowing Land and Planning a forum to engage better with these groups, leading to project reviews and lessons learned sessions.
We will publish the location of our ANM zones, together with a forward looking plan for future enabled zones.
We have published our ANM schemes on our website for both our SPD and SPM licence areas. This enables stakeholders to be able to determine the likelihood of projects of interest in constrained areas. In addition the engineers and designers in these areas can advise on the processes involved and the assistance that is available on ANM or similar schemes within these zones.
We will ensure our customers receive an approximate estimate of costs for their telecommunications solution at the design stage of their project. Once it's accepted, we'll provide even more details. Then at the delivery stage, we'll make the telecommunication element of their project even clearer, with a monthly report detailing programme critical dates and programme status.
Details of costs, timescales and technologies required are now provided to customers during project design and delivery stages. This allows customers at an early stage to be better able to determine the full cost and duration of their projects and as such determine their viability.
We will investigate if additional aspects of operational Telecommunications works can be treated as contestable. Over the next year we will conduct trials with identified partners to determine the feasibility and scope of future contestable telecommunications works.
SPD - Grid Code Power have expressed an interest in "Contestable Telecoms" and they have a number of battery storage projects across the districts. Meetings have been arranged between them and the ICE telecom Initiative Group.
SPM – UK Power Reserve have expressed an interest in 'Contestable Telecoms'. Plan to progress when these customers have projects in a position to proceed.
We will provide greater visibility of our long term outage plan for both our licenced areas.
In our SPD licence area we will trial tailored sessions for individual generation customers to provide them with a more relevant briefing on any planned network outages that are likely to affect their existing or future connections.
In our SPM licence area, we will review and add new generation customers to our list of strategic customers that receive our SPM long term plan weekly. We will also offer individual meetings for any customer who would like to discuss our long term outage plans prior to accepting their connection offer. We have enhanced our Constraints Workshops and include planned outage information and system operation requirements.
SPD - Customers formally requesting outage information for their respective areas of interest are now given detailed information from the network outage teams on a biannual basis, and are informed of changes when relevant.
SPM - Customers can register to be added to the weekly email distribution list that will notify them of the planned outages on their circuit as part of the long term plan.

When I was a kid, we used to take family vacations from California to Lawton, OK to visit my Grandmother. Much of the trip was through the desert. One of the things I always enjoyed was stopping at the truck stops and curio shops. Most of these places had the run of the mill souvenirs, like Indian bead work and letter openers with "Flagstaff" burned into the handle. What captured my imagination however was the taxidermy work that was on display. I thought that was the coolest thing. We saw everything from bobcats to rattlesnakes in every pose you could imagine. Usually they looked quite threatening.
When I was 11 years old, I found an ad in a "Boys Life", or "Field and Stream" magazine for a correspondence course in Taxidermy. What a career! I would be the envy of all my friends. I could contribute to the family income. I told my parents of my newfound vocation. For some reason, in a moment of temporary insanity, they agreed to spring for the mail order taxidermy course. The time spent waiting for lesson one to arrive was interminable. "When will it get here?" I wondered daily.
Finally, the mailman delivered my ticket to fun and wealth. Lesson One of the home taxidermy school had arrived. I began reading it the moment I had the manila envelope torn open. This was going to be so cool. I'd show those guys at school who thought they were all that because they built all those mundane hot rod models. I could quit school to pursue my career as a taxidermist. I was gonna learn how to make a stuffed pigeon.
Now one thing that the magazine ad failed to mention, was that I had to come up with my own pigeon. Not only that, I had to come up with my own dead pigeon. They gave me the choice of three methods to put the bird to death. I never got that far.
Needless to say, Lesson two was never paid for,and thus never arrived.
I'm not sure, but I think my parents had forseen how this little adventure would play out, and figured they wouldn't go broke on my taxidermy school.

Inefficient inventory management can have disastrous effects on your intercity bus company. Even the most carefully crafted Excel spreadsheet is not enough to keep track of your seat inventory. Failing to depict the demand can result in buses leaving almost empty. And overbooking can backfire and leave you to deal with angry customers. You can avoid these issues with well-planned inventory management.
In this post, we examine every aspect of inventory management in intercity bus industry to show how it could benefit your business.
In a broad sense, inventory is a set of goods or material that a business has and uses with the ultimate goal of selling or otherwise making money out of it. The primary goal of inventory management is to control and oversee this inventory to ensure its availability and range. Also, to sell it to the right customer at the right time with the right price.
The peculiarity of inventory in the travel industry at large (including airlines and hotels) is that this inventory is perishable. That is, its usefulness has a clear deadline. If the product is not used, it loses its value. So, for example, if a hotel room remains vacant on a given night, the chances of getting revenue from that room, on that specific night, are lost.
In the passenger transport industry, in particular, inventory refers to the seats available between specific origin and destination. Hence, seat inventory management is the process of controlling the availability and property of seats with the goal of maximizing revenue per departures.
Even within the passenger transport industry, there are significant differences in handling inventory management. For example, in the airline industry, seat inventory control is the process of allocating seats among different fare classes on a flight, where there is only one origin-destination pair. In the bus industry, fare classes are traditionally not so relevant. Yet each departure usually covers more than one origin-destination pair. So, in this case, seat inventory management must handle seat allocation control in a particular trip segment out of many.
This critical difference introduces the primary challenge of inventory management for the long-distance coach industry.
Let's take a closer look at all the challenges of applying inventory management in the intercity bus industry.
In the bus industry there can be, and generally there are, more than two stops along the route. Trips are usually not performed from point A to point B, but from A to F with stops B, C, etc. in between.
For this reason, the complexity of seat inventory management on a particular departure can be quite challenging: you must be able to cover many origin-destination and availability combinations per trip. If there are six stops, for example, there are 15 possible origin-destination combinations that a passenger can reserve. With every added stop, the possible combinations grow exponentially.
An efficient inventory management system for bus operators has to be able to oversee the availability of each seat for each segment of the trip.
In high-demand routes, having a real-time overview of available seats could have a significant business impact.
Some operators have even increased their sales by 1-2% just by taking those "no-show" scenarios into account.
For example, sometimes passengers decide to cancel their trips without canceling the seat reservation itself, which creates an option for last-minute sales. When the driver uses a check-in app and doesn't check this particular passenger in, this seat can be automatically released for sales again for up-coming trip segments. Some operators have even increased their sales by 1-2% just by taking those "no-show" scenarios into account.
Some operators employ different seat classes, on the model of airlines. For example, they can offer business-type classes alongside with the regular seats.
The presence of different classes complicates the picture. The inventory management system has to take into account also which seats belong to which type.
Buses have different seat layout configurations. Some coaches are double-deckers, which means that the system has to understand which seats are on which floor. Others have different seat pitch (distance between two seat rows).
A good inventory management system must be able to handle the specific seat configuration of each vehicle. Moreover, it should be able to expose the seat configuration of different vehicles through APIs. These ones enable external sales networks, such as GDSs (Global Distribution Systems) or OTAs (Online Travel Agencies), to visualize the correct seat layout across all available sales channels.
Why Is Inventory Management Important for Your Bus Company?
There are usually three main reasons for acquiring a well-built inventory management system.
1. If you wish to apply yielded, demand-based pricing in your business, you should have a very clear understanding of the sold seats and how many are still available at any moment of time in your sales channels.
In the ideal case, the inventory control should be in real time across all sales channels.
2. Professional inventory management is necessary to allow specific seat reservation for customers.
Especially in cases where vehicles have different seat configuration, such as separate seat classes, two decks, or scarcely placed electricity plugs. Very advanced inventory management systems even offer options to up-charge more popular or convenient seats, a feature already quite standard in the airline business.
3. Selling seats across different sales channels implies the risk of overbooking or unsold seats.
Overbooking happens when, for example, the same seat is sold twice on different channels. To avoid that, operators often split their stock among the different channels, which can result in empty seats and lost revenue. These problems, too, can be averted with proper, real-time inventory management.
The intercity bus industry is complex and not without peculiarities. For this reason, successful intercity bus & coach operators cannot survive without real-time inventory management.
Inventory management must be especially well executed if one wants to harness the potential of evolving digital technologies, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, to automate their entire business process, plan resources more efficiently and increase margins.

From the Java java.util.concurrent.Semaphore docs it wasn't quite clear to me what happens if semaphore.acquire() blocks the thread and later gets interrupted by an InterruptedException. Has the semaphore value been decreased and so is there a need to release the semaphore?
Currently I am using code like this:
try {
  // use semaphore to limit number of parallel threads
  semaphore.acquire();
  doMyWork();
}
finally {
  semaphore.release();
}

Or should I rather not call release() when an InterruptedException occurs during acquire() ?

A: nos's accepted answer is partially correct, except semaphore.acquire() also throws InterruptedException.  So, to be 100% correct, the code would look like:
try {
    semaphore.acquire();
    try {
        doMyWork();
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        // do something, if you wish
    } finally {
        semaphore.release();
    }
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
    // do something, if you wish
}

A:
call release() when an InterruptedException occurs during acquire() ?

You should not. If .acquire() is interrupted, the semaphore is not acquired, so likely should not release it.
Your code should be
// use semaphore to limit number of parallel threads
semaphore.acquire();
try {
  doMyWork();
}
finally {
  semaphore.release();
}

A: If the thread is interrupted before acquire method call, or while waiting to acquire a permit the InterruptedException will be thrown and no permit will be hold, so no need to release. Only when you are certain that a permit was acquired (after calling the acquire method call) you will need to release the permit. So you better acquire before your try block starts, something like:
sem.acquire();
try{
   doMyWork();
}finally{
   sem.release();
}

Q: Windows 10 locale stuck in German I have a Thinkpad that runs Windows 10 Pro including the latest software updates - but it's in German. I have tried many times to change the system language to US English, but there is always some remnant of German here and there, not least in the Start menu and the boot+login screens. It is infuriating and frustrating because Windows 10 makes everything "look nice" at the cost of being intransparent to configure.
I have even tried a complete machine reset using Windows10's built-in restore functionality, in the hope that the first choice in that process would be to set the system language. But there was no such choice.
I have seen numerous answers like this one which helped change the boot&login language. But e.g. headings in the Start menu are still in German.
What I've tried: all of the following is set to US English:

*

*Settings > Time & language > Region > Region

*Settings > Time & language > Region > Regional format

*Settings > Time & language > Language > Windows display language

*Settings > Time & language > Language > Preferred languages

*Settings > Time & language > Speech > Speech language

Anything German has been removed except that in Settings > Time & language > Language > Windows display language the drop-down menu contains English(US) and German -- how can I completely remove German from this list? Also, Settings > Time & language > Speech > Installed voice packages still contains German (and US English) and the "remove" button is disabled.
Despite all of the above, applications still think the machine is in German and display their menus in German. Surely there must be a way to get rid of German entirely?

Immerse partners with International House Manchester to research VR Hybrid English language education
International House Manchester lays the groundwork for rethinking hybrid education through a new partnership with Immerse, a Virtual Reality platform designed for synchronous English language teaching.
A new research partnership, which will inform the practice of hybrid language learning for international language students, has formed between International House Manchester and Immerse VR. This new partnership will shed light into how to use immersive virtual reality to bridge the gap between on-site classroom learners and remote students attending class in a hybrid structure.
At the onset of the pandemic IH Manchester responded to the forced closure of several campuses with an ambitious model for offering hybrid learning experiences for English language students. In this model of hybrid learning, face to face students and online students take part in the same live lesson. This has become a safe, engaging, and increasingly popular model for delivering learning experiences.
Last year [1], IH Manchester worked with a team of researchers to understand the hybrid model in English language education and provide a robust insight into the practice, process, and challenges of hybrid learning. To expand on this work, and further an understanding of the potential of hybrid learning, IH Manchester has engaged with Immerse VR to explore how virtual reality technology could redefine the hybrid classroom experience.
Immerse VR launched into the English language landscape in October 2020, making virtual reality language teaching accessible to any educator without the need for complex programming skills[2]. The Immerse VR application uses a combination of desktop VR for teachers with immersive virtual reality for students, who connect through the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset device. Using the Quest 2 (one of the most popular and affordable untethered VR headsets) makes learning English in virtual reality a fun, engaging, and fully immersive experience. The platform places students in virtual locations designed with a suite of resources and facilitation tools that make language teaching easy. Unlike Zoom, where students are isolated in breakout rooms, or stuck in camera boxes, students in VR are present, immersed, and engaged together in their language learning experiences.
Through this research partnership, IH Manchester intends to design, develop, and deploy a hybrid English[3] course with a pilot group of students to understand how a VR hybrid model can improve the teaching and learning experience. The research study—currently in design with an anticipated launch date of July 2021—will test the potential of VR to drastically improve the current hybrid learning experience. The research partners hope to provide insight into how hybrid learning can improve classroom culture, allow community building between on-site and off-site students, reduce student anxiety, increase communication, and improve language development.
Peter Hayes from IH Manchester said:
"The whole team here are incredibly excited to be working in partnership with Immerse VR. This will provide a wonderful opportunity to explore the potential of VR to further enhance the hybrid experience for our students. Immerse shares our passion for innovation and creative thinking."
By understanding VR, the specific planning and teaching concerns of a VR hybrid model, and the needs of English language learners, IH Manchester is well positioned to provide a useful insight into creating, implementing, and scaling VR hybrid models for international English language learning programs.
"On behalf of the team here at Immerse, we're honored and excited to work alongside the world-class team at IH Manchester. They are forward-thinking leaders that were able to adapt quickly during the crisis 2020 presented. Now that same innovative spirit is on full display as they roll out the first course of this kind." said Quinn Taber, CEO of Immerse VR. "I am thrilled for this partnership to begin in July and look forward to hopefully many more years of collaboration."
The initial stages of the research project are well underway, with an anticipated publication date of August 2021.

International House Manchester
IH Manchester was founded in May 2006 and is now a well-established British Council accredited English language school. The school affiliated with International House and became an IH school in September 2013. When the pandemic hit the UK in March 2020, the IH Manchester teaching team quickly pivoted to online teaching. When UK schools reopened in August of that year the school was one of the first English language schools to use hybrid teaching.
www.ihmanchester.com
Founded in 1953, International House is a global network of 150 affiliated language schools in more than 50 countries. All IH schools are independently owned and managed and are members of IH because they are committed to the very highest standards in language education face-to-face and online.
Schools in the network teach English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and a wide variety of other languages. Across our membership network, IH schools train about half of all CELTA graduates in the world. IH schools have well over 200,000 students, and our member schools employ in excess of 5,800 teachers.

Brewmaster Steve Anderson, of Big Bend Brewing, dies
November 30, 2015 craft beer.
Steve Anderson, formerly of Live Oak Brewing, died of cancer last week at his home in Alpine, Texas, where he'd been an integral part of Big Bend Brewing.
Big Bend Brewing founder Steve Anderson, who helped to feed Austin's thirst for local beer in the 1990s with Waterloo Brewing and Live Oak Brewing, died Wednesday at his home in Alpine, Texas, of cancer. He was 53.
Although Anderson moved to the tiny West Texas town of Alpine to open Big Bend in 2012 — with a series of solid mainstay beers that started selling in Austin earlier this year — he had deep roots in Austin, too. He was integral in introducing the city to the idea of locally made beers more than 20 years ago, when the laws in Texas had only just started to change in favor of visionary brewers like him.
"All of Texas lost a true craft beer pioneer and a friend," according to a press release Big Bend Brewing sent out following his death.
That's not an overstatement: On social media throughout the weekend and today, brewers and others in the industry have talked about Anderson's impact and how much he meant to them. Among them was Jester King Brewery, which released a brief statement titled "In Remembrance of Steve Anderson" on its website.
"We learned a great deal from Steve, especially during Jester King's startup phase when we were struggling to make the transition from homebrewing to professional brewing," according to the statement. "Steve was very generous with his time, and was happy to welcome and help newcomers to the scene like us… We will miss him."
Anderson and his longtime friend Billy Forrester, who became inspired to open a brewpub together after a 1991 trip to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, came up with a plan to see that dream realized, according to Big Bend.
"Steve would attend the Siebel Institute Brewing Program to refine his brewing knowledge, and Billy would lobby the Texas Legislature to change the law," according to the press release. "Two years after that trip, with the law successfully changed, they made their dream a reality and opened Waterloo Brewing Co. at 4th & Guadalupe, making Steve the first brewmaster of the first brewpub in Texas."
Although Waterloo closed down in 2001 — "an early victim of escalating Austin rents" — Anderson wasn't done molding beer lovers' palates. He worked side-by-side with Live Oak Brewing founder Chip McElroy for 11 years, making sure as Live Oak's head brewer that the East Austin brewery would become one of the most respected and beloved ones in town.
In 2012, he and his wife decided to move to Alpine "for a slower pace of life," according to Big Bend. That's where he helped open his final brewing project, Big Bend Brewing, which grew from "zero to over 5,000 barrels of annual production" over the past three years in an isolated part of the state. It wasn't until earlier this year that Austinites finally got to try some of Big Bend's mainstay brews, including Tejas Lager, La Frontera IPA and 22 Porter.
Anderson, however, hadn't been planning to stop with them: He "turned his attention to developing our small batch brewing program, purchasing a small brewpub system to brew specialty series, collaborations with other breweries, and exclusive tap room beers," according to Big Bend. He wasn't able to finish.
"But we will carry on his legacy," according to Big Bend. "To honor Steve, we will be naming the taproom at BBBC 'Steve's Cantina.' We welcome current, future, and aspiring Texans to share great craft beer and memories from one of the originals. There will be only brewers in Steve's Cantina, no brewmasters: it will only ever have one."
Big Bend Brewing will celebrate Anderson's life at 3 p.m. on Saturday at the brewery, at 3401 W. Highway 90, Alpine. Instead of flowers, the brewery suggests making a donation to Pints for Prostate, an organization that encourages men to get regular prostate screenings.

Wine inspires the mind and the soul. Many moviemakers, songwriters, painters, and poets use wine throughout their artistry. Wine poetry is when winemakers and poets come together to entertain humankind. Two enchanting and passionate worlds collide to create a delicious wine pairing. We are grateful for their work and for their favorite theme, because it happens to be our favorite theme, too. And of course, the best way to enjoy their work is to do it while sipping wine. Go ahead, I'm giving you a few minutes to pour yourself a glass of wine.
Now that we've armed ourselves with a glass of wine, let's discuss poetry. I started reading The Flowers Of Evil from a well-known French poet Charles Baudelaire. That is some beautiful poetry but Mr. Baudelaire was quite troubled emotionally and lived a raving mad life as result. In fact, like every respectful artist, he used his work to tell about his trepidatious and ephemeral experience of life in an urban metropolis – most commonly referred to the City Of Lights: Paris.
Young Charles Baudelaire had a very complicated relationship with his mother after his father passed away. His mother's unfortunate life choices left him scarred emotionally and drove him down a life-threatening path, which involved prostitution, drug and alcohol abuse, and an alleged advocacy of satanism – quite the package, all of which influenced his poetry. His principal subjects were women, lesbianism, sacred and profane love, metamorphosis, melancholy, the corruption of the city, lost innocence, the oppressiveness of living, lust, and last but not least, wine. Baudelaire's use of imagery of the sense of smell and fragrances is omnipresent in his work. All of this lead to a wonderful modern prose-poetry that had a definite impact on many other writers and poets, and me.
Here are the 5 poems he wrote about wine, conveniently translated in English. Enjoy wine poetry!
From my prison of glass with its scarlet wax seals.
Where I'm much happier than in my cold cellar.
And the hopes that warble in my fluttering breast?
The oil that hardens a wrestler's muscles.
Which will spring up toward God like a rare flower!"
Which makes us triumphant and equal to the gods!

Trek ends relationship with Greg LeMond
President John Burke ends 13-year partnership
By gary boulanger
Trek Bicycle Corp. president John Burke announced Trek's intention to end its 13-year partnership with Greg LeMond and his LeMond bicycle brand, during an employee meeting in its Waterloo, Wisconsin world headquarters.
Trek has filed suit in Federal Court in Madison, Wisconsin, to sever the company's ongoing relationship with three-time Tour de France winner. This counters LeMond serving Trek with a 41-page suit on March 20, 2008, to be filed in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Both suits reference former Tour de France winner and Trek-sponsored athlete Lance Armstrong in detail.
"Trek's spectacle today is a move to distract from the real allegations that are contained in Mr. LeMond's lawsuit against Trek," said Denise S. Rahne, LeMond's attorney. "Mr. LeMond served Trek with a lawsuit in March. Mr. LeMond stands by his complaint. The allegations, which Trek has elected to make public, speak for themselves. Mr. LeMond has been and continues to be an outspoken critic of doping in professional cycling, which should be consistent with what Trek touts as 'family values.' Mr. LeMond looks forward to proving his allegations in court, not in the media, despite the many inflammatory and inaccurate statements that Trek made today."
The action filed by Trek Bicycle Corporation against Greg LeMond asks the court for declaratory judgment against LeMond and asks that the relationship be terminated due to multiple breaches of the contract. The breach of contract claims are based on LeMond's ongoing pattern of public statements and actions which Trek believes have continued to be detrimental to the Trek-licensed LeMond Racing Cycles name and trademark, to the Trek brand as a whole, and to the Trek reputation in the global bicycle market.
"Beginning in 1995 we had high hopes for the LeMond partnership," said Burke. "And I am sorry it has come to this after so much hard work on the LeMond brand. But this troubling pattern of inconsistent business dealings forced us to do this, for the sake of the Trek family—our retailers, employees and customers."
At the employee meeting, Burke presented a timeline of the Trek business relationship with LeMond and the development of the LeMond brand.
Before Lance Armstrong: 1995 – 1999
Trek Bicycle Corporation began its business relationship with LeMond in 1995 and, since then, has produced the LeMond Racing Cycles brand of road bikes. In 1999, the LeMond line was one of the fastest growing road bike brands and one of the top five largest road bike brands in the United States. Sales from this period went from $0 to US$9.5 million, with a reported 700 LeMond dealers.
The presentation highlighted the ongoing issues with the relationship, its impact on the LeMond and Trek brands and the reasons for the decision to sever the relationship.
"For years, Trek has tried our best to make this relationship work," Burke said. "And for years, Greg LeMond has done and said things that have damaged the LeMond brand and the Trek brand as a whole," said Burke. "His actions are inconsistent with our values—values we believe in and live everyday. And after years of trying to make it work, we are done. It's time to sever this relationship and allow Trek to do what it does best—build the world's greatest bicycles and provide our customers with a great product and exceptional customer service."
Burke told reporters that Trek plans to honor all LeMond warranties, and will stick behind every product it made under the LeMond name. For a entensive look into Greg LeMond's career and his views on the current pro peloton, read Procycling's January 2008 issue, number 107.
Armstrong is opening a bike shop in Austin,Texas this spring. LeMond commented on his positive relationship with Trek founder, the late Dick Burke, in various news reports following his death in early March; nothing was heard from Armstrong, a seven-time Tour winner and Trek-sponsored athlete from 1999 – 2005.

LeMond Poprad Disc review
Pro test: LeMond Tête de Course review


We've written a lot back and forth about GDDR5X versus HBM2 (and GDDR6 these days). Nvidia did not place all their eggs in one basket, AMD pretty much did so for high-end. That being the main and root cause of delays as HBM2 is difficult to fab and expensive. As it stands now, opcoming consumer GeForce cards based on Volta will not use HBM2.
This is a new claim that originates from Fudzilla, who states that this info came from well-informed sources. I tend to agree as nothing is pointing or indicating towards HBM2 from Nvidia at this moment in time. From the looks of it, small and compact HBM2 memory simply is too expensive for consumer products. Nvidia does use HBM2 on its GV100-gpu, but much like what happened with Pascal, here again they will revert to GDDR5X memory for the consumer parts.
While HBM2 might seem to offer better memory-bus width, latency and lower voltages, it seems harder to fab and implement and likely thus is more costly and complicated to use than expected. Just look at the massive AMD Radeon RX Vega (consumer) delay, this likely is due to the limited availability of HBM2. Meanwhile Nvidia has been plastering GDDR5X in their recent high-end SKUs. GDDR5X still rocks hard this year. Next to HBM2, GDDR6 is the new thing for 2018. The new graphics memory type will offer up to 16Gb (2GB) per IC. So eight ICs would already get you to 16 GB of graphics memory.
Nvidia could make use of SK Hynix and/or Micron GDDR5X memory.
Personally I don't think it's going to matter at all. While HBM is great, it's way over hyped.

The difference between RPA and RDA is that the RDA is an automation solution that assists the agent in handling simple repetitive tasks. The agent plays a role in facilitating when the automation is triggered and stopped depending on their work flow.
An example of that would be an agent receives a call and needs to retrieve all necessary info related to the customer that is calling. Instead of the agent manually retrieving the data from various applications, the RDA assists in gathering this information in parallel to the agent speaking with customer.
The agent is the one that determines when the data is retrieved and what particular information is gathered by providing an account number to the RDA to assist with.
The RPA is a headless operation in comparison. There are no agents to instruct the robot when to collect the information. There are no users interacting with the robot. The design of the automation is totally self-sustaining.
Suppose you have a massive amount of records that require updating, but the record access is mutually exclusive. Mutual exclusion meaning only one agent can access the record at a time. You wouldn't want to update these records in the middle of a work period, because that would disrupt the call flow of the agents and it would not prove helpful if the account record was already in use by one of the human agents.
Instead, you would create a headless (no user interaction) automation to update the records during off peak hours, i.e. (2 AM in the morning). This headless automation could be started with the use of the Windows Scheduler that starts the Robot at a specific time every night, or every 1st and 2nd Tuesday of the month which ever you prefer. The Robot would start from the task scheduler and perform the necessary updates while the agents are not accessing the records. This headless operation is called an RPA.
Both RDA and RPA are solution automations, but designed with two different task in mind.

Greg Monk has released a groovy, upbeat single entitled "Lift Him Up" from his upcoming new album "AGAPE Love."
The album will be available 08/19/2022 and Greg is excited to share. Monk transitions from his ballad "Better Plan" to a fun, dance uptempo record to lift up the name of Jesus. "Lift Him Up" is a household song, one you want to start the day with but might not be able to sleep to because you'd want to dance all night long.
It's a fun song, so infectious, you'll smile, praise, clap and dance without even realising. Greg invites everyone to join him in looking to Jesus and "Lift Him Up" high above whatever we may have going on in life.
Greg Monk was born in Dallas, Texas, has a musical family and from high school days has been using his gift of music and songs at many shows and arts programs. Beyond the music, Monk is also a family man committed to being a vessel for the Lord. Saying yes to God's plan has opened doors to serve as music ministry leader at his home church and it is his desire to bless audiences worldwide.
His forthcoming album "AGAPE Love" underscores the unconditional, endless love of God, stretching far and wide with no boundaries nor limits. God's love for us doesn't require us to do anything to acquire, He loves us regardless and this type of love is only found in Him.
Who's ready to forget your problems, dance and praise? Download and stream the new single "Lift Him Up" off the new highly anticipated album "Agape Love" available for preorder today and come sing along with Greg Monk when it goes live August 19, 2022.

Cocorul cu capul alb (Antigone vipio) este o pasăre din familia cocorilor.  Este o pasăre mare, lungă de 112-125 cm, înaltă de aproximativ 130 cm și cântărește aproximativ 5,6 kg; are picioarele roz, gâtul cu dungi gri și alb și o zonă roșie pe față.

Distribuție
Cocorul cu capul alb se reproduce în nord-estul Mongoliei, nord-estul Chinei și în zonele adiacente din sud-estul Rusiei. Diferite grupuri de păsări migrează spre iarnă lângă râul Yangtze, zona demilitarizată coreeană și pe insula Kyūshū din Japonia. Sunt singurii cocori care se găsesc în Coreea de Sud. De asemenea, ajung în Kazahstan și Taiwan. Doar aproximativ 4.900 până la 5.400 de indivizi există în sălbăticie.

Dieta lor constă în principal din insecte, semințe, rădăcini, plante și animale mici.

Din cauza pierderii continue a habitatului și a supra-vânătorii în unele zone, cocorul cu capul alb este evaluat ca fiind vulnerabil pe Lista Roșie IUCN a speciilor amenințate. În Coreea de Sud, a fost desemnat monument natural 203.

Taxonomie
Cocorul cu capul alb a fost plasată anterior în genul Grus, dar un studiu filogenetic molecular publicat în 2010 a constatat că genul, așa cum era definit atunci, era polifiletic. În rearanjarea rezultată pentru a crea genuri monofiletice, patru specii, inclusiv cocorul cu capul alb, au fost plasate în genul Antigone care fusese inițial creat de naturalistul german Ludwig Reichenbach în 1853.

I had started the project with 1.7 but I had moved to 1.8 and the one app was running without problems. However, I had not migrated the whole project before. What I can see from the migration history is that this migration did a migration on the auth app. But even if I migrate back before this I get the same error.
I had this or a similar error before when switching to 1.8 but it is not the issue with the name field. And I am not able to delete the django_content_types table in the database because auth is linked to this table. Can I somehow solve this?

A: So after making sure that the dev-server and the production server were running at Django 1.8 everything worked well. I had some confusion in the environment paths of the start scripts.

Auf dieser Seite sind die RELEASE NOTES (dt. Veröffentlichungsnotizen) für Semantic MediaWiki 1.5.1 in Englisch angegeben.
Added query comparator "!~" that works like the negation of "~", i.e. that retrieves exactly those values to which the provided pattern (with * and ?) does not match.
Updated OWL/RDF export to include more data (modification dates, and page namespaces). Changed export ontology to no longer use OWL AnnoationProperties since OWL 2 DL supports property values also for classes/properties.
Improvements in code style and structure, following general MediaWiki conventions. Most notably, the file to include for loading SMW now is SemanticMediaWiki.php in the base directory (including the old Settings.php will still work).
Preparation of future "SMWLight" release for wikis that want to enable users to add property values to pages, but which do not want to include complex query features.
Added a nmber of hooks to improve compatibility with extensions.
Various bugfixes, and translation updates.

Toronto, ON – The Ontario Hockey League today announced that for the second time this season Greg McKegg of the Erie Otters is the OHL Player of the Week. McKegg led the OHL with nine points in three games scoring six goals and three assists with a plus-minus rating of plus-5 for the week ending November 28.
McKegg began the week with a career-best four goals as first star of a 6-0 win over the Belleville Bulls on Thursday night. His first goal not only held as the game-winner, but sent 4,618 stuffed bears on the ice as part of the Otters' third annual Teddy Bear toss for the Salvation Army. He also became just the sixth Otter in team history and the first since 2004 to score four goals in a single game. Later in the week McKegg scored two goals and one assist as second star of a 7-3 win over the Kitchener Rangers on Saturday, before tallying two assists in a 5-4 overtime win over the Guelph Storm on Sunday. His second assist set-up the game-winning goal by David Shields with just four seconds to play in the extra frame.
McKegg, an 18-year-old from St. Thomas, ON, is playing in his third OHL season with the Otters. The Otters' captain is tied for fifth in league scoring with 20 goals and 20 assists for 40 points in 28 games so far this season. McKegg was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the third round, 62nd overall, in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. He also competed for Team OHL in the 2010 SUBWAY Super Series.
Barrie Colts' forwards Mark Scheifele and Colin Behenna were each considered for the award. Scheifele produced eight points in three games including two goals and six assists, while Behenna scored three goals with four assists for seven points in three games. In goal, Scott Wedgewood of the Plymouth Whalers had another strong week with two wins including a shutout victory and a goals-against-average of 0.820 and save percentage of .974.

Continued evolution
by Carole Wedge
As architects and designers, it's in our DNA to constantly explore and imagine what's possible. During the past year and a half, we turned the lens of curiosity on ourselves to reimagine our visual identity and uncover the distinctive qualities that make Shepley Bulfinch unique. What did we discover?
We are sincere collaborators with our clients, our teams, and our communities. We are boundless problem solvers who realize the immense responsibility of creating places and buildings that positively impact how people live, heal, learn, and work together. And we are challengers of convention who are driven to design beyond what's expected.
We believe in the power of imagination, and are thrilled to continue building ideas, together. Here are just a few thoughts from some of the Bulfinches involved in the exciting 18-month process.
Being bold, being true
Driven by the need to not only update our website, but also to reveal and take ownership of our present-day identity, our brand refresh has accomplished much more. Through this process, we were forced to zoom out and look at ourselves from every perspective. Our refreshed brand pays homage to the Shepley Bulfinch legacy, boldly calling attention to our long-standing success as design leaders and change makers, in a contemporary way that connects today's firm culture. It also establishes a modern value proposition for Bulfinches nationwide to stand behind and push ahead. It is bold. It is authentic. And, it is aspirational. It is Shepley Bulfinch. – Joe Herzog, Bulfinch
Connecting the squares
Our brand is a living persona that introduces Shepley Bulfinch to our communities. This is our next evolution, and it was created from a process of reflection and projection to amplify our strengths and connect to our culture. Our former Shepley Blue has matured to reflect our growth and experience, while our creativity and boldness is accentuated with a pop of yellow. Similarly, our modernized Shepley Bulfinch logo frames our vibrant future as an established architecture firm in a forward, playful way. – Andre Kamili, Bulfinch
Being a Bulfinch
To tell the story of Shepley Bulfinch—one that is long, and ever-inspired—we needed to evaluate who we are today. Through an honest, collaborative self-assessment, we found that Shepley Bulfinch is who we've always been: adventurous idea seekers and change-makers who push design boundaries in anticipation of what's possible. Our former brand didn't fully tell that story. Today, we're proud to reintroduce our ambitious nature to the world through a collective Bulfinch voice and sophisticated visual identity that authentically represents who we are. – Jennifer D. Wells, Bulfinch
