Ok Google! Willkommen bei Sonos.
Sonos adds the Google Assistant via a free software update on Sonos in the United States; Additional countries to follow in July.
Santa Barbara, Calif. – May 14, 2019 – Today Sonos (Nasdaq: SONO) brings the smart control of the Google Assistant to Sonos' brilliant sound experience. As the first to bring multiple voice assistants to the same sound system, Sonos demonstrates the power of an open, multi-partner platform that prioritizes choice for customers. Use voice with the Google Assistant built-in to Sonos One or Sonos Beam, or with a connected Google Home product to easily start a song, queue a TV show, check the weather, and control the smart home. The free software update will be available starting today in the United States. Support in the UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, France, and The Netherlands comes in July with additional countries to follow on a rolling basis over the coming months.
"We value freedom of choice, empowering listeners to choose what they want to listen to and how they want to control it. Adding voice, now with the Google Assistant, has made that control even easier," said Patrick Spence, Sonos CEO. "We partnered with Google to build this integration from the ground up, layering in the best of the Google Assistant into the Sonos ecosystem of products and partners. Today we're the first company to have two voice assistants working concurrently on the same system, a major milestone for the industry. We imagine a day where we'll have multiple voice assistants operating concurrently on the same device, and we're committed to making that happen as soon as possible."
The Google Assistant is Sonos' second built-in voice assistant. Customers on Sonos will have the ability to choose an assistant for each individual speaker, with multiple voice assistants on a single system. With the Google Assistant on Beam in the living room and Alexa on the Sonos One in the kitchen, start a song with the Google Assistant, ask Alexa what's playing, and vice versa.
Not just music and TV, Sonos will support the Google Assistant's top first party actions and features, including Continued Conversation, Broadcast mode, and the ability to choose a different voice for the assistant. Bringing the richness of the Google ecosystem and integration within the smart home, the Google Assistant on Sonos also includes more than one million actions from partner products. Additional features and actions will be available through ongoing updates, bringing even more to the Google Assistant experience on Sonos. At launch, customers will enjoy:
System control. Built on Sonos' open platform of products and partners, listeners can start a song using AirPlay from Apple Music, ask the Google Assistant to go to the next track, and turn the volume down in the Sonos App. In addition, just one supported voice-enabled device allows for customers to request music or content to be played on other Sonos speakers in the system (Play:1, for example).
Music, news, and radio. Request and control with voice from a growing list of streaming services, including: Spotify, YouTube Music, Google Play Music, Pandora, TIDAL, TuneIn, iHeartRadio and Deezer to start. Use voice to go to the next song, change the volume, or pause with all streaming services available on Sonos.
Easy control for TV with Sonos Beam. Turn on the TV with the Google Assistant using Beam's HDMI ARC connection and CEC, switch from TV to music, and adjust the volume. Add a Chromecast Ultra to get additional features with voice for TV, including requesting specific shows or movies from streaming services.
Get answers, manage tasks and plans. Hear a daily brief, flight information or commute time, set alarms, timers, and pull up calendar appointments or get answers on weather, calculations, translations, sports, and more. This is all part of the Google ecosystem -- ask Google Assistant for directions and have them sent directly to an Android phone.
Connect with Smart Home. Ask the Google Assistant on Sonos to adjust the temperature or turn on the light. At this time, there are more than 200 million devices in homes globally that work with the Google Assistant now on Sonos.
Sonos & the Google Assistant Present: The Brilliant Sound Experience

Featuring new music from 4AD artists The National and Holly Herndon, alongside tracks curated by the iconic Beggars Group o labels (Rough Trade, 4AD, XL, Matador and Young Turks), the Google Assistant on Sonos will guide visitors to explore how sound works, how it layers into music, and why music sparks emotion. Learn more and RSVP.

Q: Prove: $\sqrt[3]{a}+\sqrt[3]{b}+\sqrt[3]{c}\ge ab+bc+ca$
Let $a,b,c\ge0: a+b+c=3.$ Prove that: $$\sqrt[3]{a}+\sqrt[3]{b}+\sqrt[3]{c}\ge ab+bc+ca$$

Firstly, it seems similar form to well-known result which can be proven by AM-GM: $$\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}+\sqrt{c}\ge ab+bc+ca$$
I also tried to use AM-GM: $$ab+bc+ca\le\frac{(a+b+c)^2}{3}=3$$ And we need to prove that: $\sqrt[3]{a}+\sqrt[3]{b}+\sqrt[3]{c}\ge3$.
But the last one is not true. I hope someone help me to solve it. By the way, if the problem is proven, we can get a nice proof without BW method for following inequality: nice problem

Musical play came from the heart too
Sing from the heart | HAODS Studio | Thursday September 30
There was a celebratory buzz as the members of HAODS took to the stage again on Thursday to Sing from the heart, a new play by local writer Mike Rowbottom.
The company calls itself an "amateur", but this performance came across as highly professional in all respects.
Simple but effective decor took the audience to the community college, awaiting the rehearsal.
Choirmaster and force of nature Phyllis (beautifully performed as both funny and sassy by Eileen Pinkarchevski) brings her disparate group of singers together to "Sing, Sing Loud, Sing Proud!"
But she has some disturbing news for the band – they are about to start performing in public.
The mantra of Melodic Madonnas is, "Music will heal your soul!" This mission statement is confirmed by a collection of impressive musical numbers written by Rowbottom and delivered very harmoniously and enthusiastically by the cast, under the musical direction of Sue Huntingford-Ledger.
I can't settle for a favorite song, but The man from nowhere still ringing in my ears.
Sing from the heart is presented as a play with music rather than a musical. Julie Huntington's skillful direction brings out the strong script and characterization, with the choir members all finding their way through different personal circumstances.
Fiona Huntingford-Ledger is strong like the antagonist Joanna, who knows she has a beautiful voice and is supported by her cheerful companion, Catherine (Samantha Riley). Bossy ex-cop Cynthia (Nicola Gordon) uses every opportunity to take control. Ebullient Mary (Dionne Robbins) presents a contrast to the long-suffering Angela (Jenny Haywood). In the shadows is the shy Lorna (Liberty Barlow).
Arriving late – always – is Linda (Heather Trevis), who has joined the choir despite her husband's control. The question posed up front is where haughty newcomer Paula (played with cool aplomb by Harriet Jamieson) will fit into the group.
The avant-garde interactions between women are conveyed convincingly and with humor by a very committed cast.
There is also a grudge between the choir members and goalie Jamie (Jack Prince), who despite his best efforts has been labeled as coming from the wrong side of the slopes.
Strong feelings about gender roles build up in judgments about the class – and quarrels within the choir are on the rise. Quarrels turn into rivalries and dirty tricks are expected. Ultimately, the hostility between Joanna and Paula turns into a physical fight – which turns into a kiss.
Problems are solved and enemies are reconciled as the women sing together.
There's a 'pantomime villain' moment for Glen Lambert as Linda's shady husband, Pete. But the tone is upbeat as the choir claims glory at the choir convention. The final song, Step into the light, carries the optimistic mood.
Sing from the heart finds the members of HAODS fine-voiced and full of energy. Take skillful writing, add accomplished directing and lively performances and you have a recipe for a wonderful production and a very enjoyable evening. Congratulations to all participants.

NADIYA Hussain's baking was judged again today for the first time since she won The Great British Bake Off last year.
Beaming with nervous excitement, Nadiya presented her showstopper bake to Queen Elizabeth in celebration of her 90th birthday.
Waiting for the verdicts of Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood on the show must have seemed like a piece of cake to Nadiya in comparison.
Thankfully, the Queen seemed rather impressed by Nadiya's flawlessly decorated orange drizzle creation.
Her Royal Highness' only complaint was that the three-tiered masterpiece looked a bit tricky to cut.
We can now safely say that Nadiya is the queen of baking.

Voices Theory: biblically orthodox modifications of Freud's structure of the mind
The Bible teaches that human beings are body, soul and spirit.
The body is a divine miracle created by the Lord of dust in an amazing beautiful figure (Genesis 1:31), but after the fall of man, it has become, sometimes, used figuratively in the Bible as a symbol of sin and self-sensuality (Romans 7:24, Galatians 5:24) and perhaps because it looks similar in a way or another to the body of the rest of animals that its souls walk behind its desires in an uncontrolled fashion (Ecclesiastes 3:19). Meanwhile, there's nothing wrong in it as a flesh or a matter (Ephesus 5: 29), moreover, the pain of the body - as a divine trial – acts as a good trainer of the soul (1 Peter 4: 1). There is also no wrong in the physical similarities between human body and other animal's, in fact; any believer who reads in comparative anatomy will praise the mutual Creator for this marvelous piece of art.
The soul - also called in the Bible, metaphorically, heart - is the net product of interaction among millions of neuronal synapses in the brain, which is also present in the rest of the animals (Proverbs 12:10), but only in humans, the soul has a direct link to the spirit as well as to the flesh (Proverbs 15:13). Body hormones, neurotransmitters among other mediators work on these synapses to give birth to all instincts of man and to participate with the surrounding environment in the emergence of all its thoughts, aspirations and unique personality (Isaiah 45: 4). Soul perishes as soon as man and animal die (Psalms 146: 4), and biblically it was created after the Lord breathed spirit in the flesh of man and sometimes soul symbolize man as a whole (Genesis 14: 21).
The Spirit is that simple divine breath, which God has given to our father Adam (Genesis 2: 7) and by this spirit man is distinguished from all other animals; and from Adam, spirit is transferred to all his descendants till the end of times. Though originally there was only one spirit given to all humans, but it's shaped with the image of the unique soul of every man to become unique itself as well. Therefore, no wonder that The Bible uses, sometimes, soul and spirit interchangeably (Proverbs 24: 12, Ecclesiastes 3:21) but to be distinguished between them when there's a need to distinguish between what is from earth and will perish "The soul" and what is from the Lord and will last forever "the spirit" (Ecclesiastes 12: 7). It's obvious to expect that spirits of some perishable humans (2 Thessalonians 2:10) will be darkly imprinted by the excess of their sins will be identical to their sinful souls to become sinful as well (Proverbs 14:29, 16:18), just as the spirits of some angels has once fallen (Jude 1: 6).
Adopted by many psychologists, Sigmund Freud's structural theory of the psyche has been worldwide popular and to some extent accepted. It divides the personality and mind "soul" into three parts, the "superego" representing the conscience and all that's elegant in humans; "ID" representing human primitive desires, instincts, and bohemian life and the "ego"; the person that shows to other people as a product of this conflict between ID and superego. I believe, relying on the Bible, that this Freudian division, though useful as regard to academic studies, is seldom beneficial for believers and regular human beings and it needs to be more developed, with biblical modifications to this theory explained below, it should be better considered a reflection to voices that struggle in the brain "mind" and soul, more than a subtle division of the personality or soul and five important voices may be considered.
Voice of instinct "ID": Hunger, thirst, sex ... Etc. It's a loud and very strong voice, well known to all humans (Judges 15:18) as well as to animals; what distinguishes man from animals and one human from another is its ability to control this voice with spirit and guide it correctly in a right path; religion plays a very important role in this control (1 Corinthians 9:27 ).
Voice of the devil: it's also a very loud voice; hasty and arrogant. It deflects and distorts the voice of reason as well as the instincts "ID" (Genesis 3: 1-5); beware of this hasty sound and slow down before regret.
Voice of the soul and mind "ego": It's the sound produced from the human experience in life, and if guided by the Holy Spirit, it's a very sound voice full of wisdom and analyses all voices and spirits (1 John 4: 1) but if guided by evil, it invents corruption and invents corruption and evil advice (2 Samuel 15:31, 16:23).
Voice of the Spirit "superego": The spirit which came from God will find comfort only in him, as it's well said by the Church Fathers. It's a nostalgic voice for prayer, praise and all that is heavenly oriented but, perhaps unfortunately, it's a quiet and very gentle voice and like its Creator, it doesn't impose its voice forcibly on the soul (Rev 3:20). If it didn't find a response, it keeps silent and suffers in a hidden agony, that may become revealed, if not properly treated, after a while as illness of soul or body and vice versa (Proverbs 15:13, 17:22, Ecclesiastes 13:32, 37: 21). I argue that ignoring the Spirit leading to its illness is perhaps the source of all misery and illness that happens to humans in all ages, meanwhile, diseases of the body, whatever severe, provided that the spirit is sound, is not comparable to the effects of the illness of the spirit.
His voice: May our Merciful Lord grants us in these holy days to hear his voice in softened hearts (Hebrews 3:15) in order to enjoy the company of his Holy Spirit and repentance, acceptance and renewal of our lives, In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the help of the prayers of our Lady, mother of Grace, Virgin Mary and the prayers of the martyr and saint Julietta and all the holy angels and righteous saints, Amen.

Strategically situated between Central and South Asia, with a committed government, rich natural resources, and a young and diverse population, Afghanistan has the potential to make significant progress on the Sustainable Development Goals. Over the past 15 years, it has demonstrated the ability to deliver improvements in key areas such as school enrolment and life expectancy. However, a complex and protracted conflict, combined with other challenges including climate change and natural disasters, demographic shifts, limited job opportunities, pervasive gender inequalities, and transparency concerns, has dramatically constrained the country's wider development efforts.
As a result, Afghanistan currently ranks 169 out of 188 countries in the Human Development Index. It has low levels of economic growth, unemployment rates exceed 19 percent (13.9 percent for men, 36.4 percent for women), and almost 54 percent of the population lives below the global poverty line.
Recently WFP Afghanistan prepared a 4 year Country Strategic Plan (CSP) that was developed through a series of internal and external consultations and with a focus on identifying how to help the country achieve the SDG 2 target on improving food access. WFP's Strategic Outcome 2 focuses on helping vulnerable people in Afghanistan to meet their own food and nutrition needs by 2022 while WFP's Strategic Outcome 4 focuses helping people across the country to access a wide range of locally produced fortified nutritious food products at affordable prices.
Many vulnerable people struggle to meet their food and nutrition needs even after emergencies are over, especially if they have been displaced. Others face chronic challenges. It is therefore critical to complement the efforts to ensure access to food and nutrition during and immediately after emergencies (SO1) with support to help populations become increasingly self-reliant, in order to achieve the access target of SDG 2. Self-reliance efforts require several years of support to have a meaningful impact, but discernible progress should be made by the end of the CSP.
Vulnerable people benefit from nutrition-sensitive livelihood support in order to enhance self-reliance, reduce disaster risk and adapt to climate change, create employment in urban and rural areas, and support stability.
In order to achieve the SDG 2 targets on ensuring access and ending malnutrition, Afghanistan needs food systems that are resilient to conflict, climate change, and other challenges, and that can consistently allow people across the country to avail fortified nutritious food products at affordable prices. Since there are existing functioning food systems in the country that can be strengthened, based on commercial principles, WFP will support several nutrition-sensitive value chains to produce local nutritious products.
With the above mentioned organizational context in mind, WFP Afghanistan is seeking to hire a Programme Assistant in the Faizabad Sub-Office for Sustainable Results and Food Systems to be responsible for supporting the activities under SO 2 and SO4.
The SO 2/SO 4 Programme Assistant will be based in the Faizabad Sub-Office, reporting to the head of Field Office. He/she will provide operational and administrative support to all activities under SO2 including WFP's activities to build resilience, support livelihoods and reduce disaster risks through large scale asset creation projects as well as vocational skills and other training activities to create employment. For SO 4 activities, the Programme Assistant will be guided by the SO 4 Outcome Manager in the WFP Country Office.
The Programme Assistant will also be expected to travel to field as necessary to meet with Government, communities or business partners (SO 4).
Provide support to the SO 2 Outcome Manager in Faizabad SO for all related planning, implementation and monitoring activities.
Actively contribute for development of SO -4 (nutrition value chain development) and SO -2 (Food for training Food & VST-CBT) component of implementation plan for the Faizabad Sub-Office and provide necessary technical input and support to the SO 4 Outcome Manager in the Country Office.
Responsible for preparation of Food for training VST-CBT field level agreements (FLAs) with cooperating partners.
Work experience in programme implementation, especially in resilience and recovery areas, including asset creation.
Experience working with the private sector, especially in food systems development.
Experience working with UN or NGOs in Afghanistan.


Why Was My Greenville, South Carolina, Workers' Compensation Claim Denied?
A work-related injury can be a sore spot in your life. After the accident, it is common to wonder when you will be able to return to your job and how the loss of income will affect your family. In Greenville, South Carolina, most employers with more than four workers on their staff must carry workers' compensation insurance coverage. The only employers exempt from carrying workers' compensation insurance are agricultural and railroad workers. So while the majority of employers must carry the coverage, the issue is that not all work injuries can receive payment via workers' compensation claim benefits.
Not sure if you should appeal your workers' compensation claim denial? Reach out to Dan Pruitt Injury Law Firm today!
An employee in Greenville, South Carolina that suffers an on-the-job injury must complete an accident report to notify the employer of the injury, seek medical attention, and file a claim for workers' compensation benefits submitting documentation of their injury with the claim. There is typically a waiting period of 7 days, after which the employee will begin to receive their benefits. Qualified employees will receive compensation benefits to cover medical treatments and replace earnings lost due to a work-related injury. You will receive about 66 2/3 percent of your normal weekly earnings while you are unable to work and recuperate from your injury.
If you or a loved one has suffered injuries while at work, it is a good idea for you to contact an attorney to help you with your workers' compensation claim. A lawyer will be able to answer your questions about the process of filing for benefits and how long it should take you to receive your benefits. An attorney can also discuss the specifics of your case and let you know what your options are and whether or not you are eligible for benefits through your employer's workers' compensation insurance coverage.
You did not report your injury in a timely fashion. An employee needs to report their work-related injury as soon as possible, but you have up to 90 days to report the injury.
You did not file your claim in time. In Greenville, South Carolina, you must file a claim for benefits within 30 to 90 days.
The employer denies the injury took place at work. Your supervisor or the company you work for may claim the injury took place while off-duty or away from the workplace.
Injury is from the non-covered category. Some injuries are not covered by workers' compensation. This includes things like stress or strokes.
You did not receive medical treatment. In order to receive workers' compensation benefits, you must seek medical care and have medical documentation of your injury.
No evidence proving it is a work-related injury. Your documentation does not clearly state the injury is work-related.
These are just some of the reasons your Greenville, South Carolina workers' compensation claim request may receive a denial. You will receive a written decision detailing your denial, and if you believe your denial is an error, you have the option to file an appeal. You can take your denial letter to an attorney and discuss your options. A lawyer that handles workers' compensation claims will be able to tell you why your claim did not receive approval and what you can do to file a successful appeal of the decision. It may be as simple as you did not submit the correct documentation or a clerical error.
An attorney can go with you and meet with your employer to help you resolve the matter without having to file an appeal. Filing an appeal of a workers' compensation denial can be a cumbersome and confusing process, and you will want to have adequate representation when you go for your hearing. In order to file a successful appeal, you and your attorney will need to provide the court with any additional documentation to prove your injury. A detailed copy of a medical examination and a time sheet proving you were on-duty would be great evidence to support your case.
How Can an Attorney Help Me with My Workers' Compensation Claim?
If you live in Greenville, South Carolina, and you or a loved one has work-related injuries and need to file for workers' compensation benefits, an attorney can help you file all the necessary paperwork to complete your request. A lawyer will be by your side for the entire process and can help you get the appropriate medical reports to prove your case and negotiate with your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier to get you the compensation and benefits you deserve. If you have a serious injury that will leave you with a permanent disability, like blindness or loss of a limb, an attorney can help you determine if you should seek benefits from workers' compensation or seek legal action.
If you or someone you love suffers a work-related injury, the Dan Pruitt Injury Law Firm can help you understand the difficult process of filing a request for workers' compensation claim benefits in Greenville, South Carolina. You will need someone with knowledge of the state's laws to help you file your claim and submit your documentation to prove your injuries. We are here to help you get the justice and benefits you deserve so that you can recuperate from your injuries and pay your medical expenses.

Battered by Lurid Harassment Claims, Versailles Patriarch Felipe Valls Sr. "Completely Incapacitated," According to Court Documents
Laine Doss March 31, 2015 10:41AM
Battered by lawsuits claiming sexual harassment, secret sexual liaisons, and other scandalous allegations, Felipe Valls Sr., patriarch of the iconic Cuban restaurant Versailles, may never show up in court.
In March 2014, Valls Sr., along with Cova Inc., was named in a whistleblower and defamation lawsuit. Now, attorneys for Valls claim their client is too sick to talk. In a document filed March 20, 2015, in Miami-Dade Circuit Court, the 82-year-old Versailles owner has been medically diagnosed with a series of ailments including peripheral neuropathy of the legs, hypertension, arrhythmia, and obesity, which has caused "compression of his spinal cord and renders him unable to sit for long periods of time without experiencing extreme back pain and which also results in numbness and weakness of the legs."

The document explains Valls has been hospitalized several times, most recently March 19, when he was treated by Baptist Health Medical Group. The injury sustained from falls, "together with the morbid obesity, has facilitated the development of a severe lumbar painful syndrome rendering him with significant difficulty to ambulate and carry out activities of daily living." The document goes on to say Valls has been deemed "completely incapacitated" and is on bed rest and home physical therapy for three to four weeks. According to Dr. Doraiswami Ayyar, Valls "does not have the physical or mental stamina necessary to endure one or two days of deposition or the time necessary to prepare for deposition."
Attorneys for Valls request a protective order postponing the deposition until "such time as Mr. Valls' health is not placed at such high risk by proceeding."
In an email, Pelayo M. Duran, one of the attorneys for the plaintiffs, told New Times: "Given the fact that we have been attempting to depose Mr. Felipe Valls Sr. since June of 2014, we are gravely concerned for his health since he appears to be suffering from a very serious health condition. We intend to push forward to secure his videotaped testimony as soon as possible, in order to preserve it for trial, in the event his health should further deteriorate."
A follow-up hearing is scheduled for April 27. At that time, the defense council is expected to report on Valls' health status and availability for deposition. New Times has called Valls' attorney for comment and will update this story with information as we receive it.
The original complaint was filed in Miami-Dade Civil Court on behalf of former Versailles general manager Rigoberto Hernandez and Adriam Mena, a former waiter at the restaurant. The lawsuit lists numerous charges the two men claim they witnessed at the famous eatery, including sexual harassment, wage theft, and voiding the receipts of prominent members of the community, naming Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado, U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, and U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart as examples.
The lawsuit alleges Versailles owner Felipe Valls Sr. and his son Felipe Valls Jr. made remarks about the masculinity of Hernandez and Mena — "making fun of the colorful way Hernandez dressed and that Mena should stop walking in an effeminate manner." The plaintiffs claim Valls also "falsely and maliciously accused Hernandez of having a sexual relationship with Mena" and accused the men of conspiring to steal cash from the business by excessively voiding and discounting customer purchases. The two men also say they were demoted, suspended, and threatened with arrest before eventually being terminated.
Valls Sr. is mentioned in another lawsuit, filed August 29, 2014, which claims the restaurant owner engaged in sexual misconduct with a woman employed as a cashier at the Versailles cafeteria at Miami International Airport. The suit names Global Concessions Inc., Gateway Airport Concessions Inc., and Airport Concessions Group Inc., all d/b/a Global Miami Joint Venture, as defendants. Although the lawsuit claims Valls had "a private office in the restaurant that contained a bed and bathroom and was littered with sex toys and sex paraphernalia," he is not listed as a defendant. An order of dismissal for the case was filed October 29, 2014.

Q: Apache Airflow - AWS MFA Authentication I've been running Airflow using helm chart.
The object of airflow is to invoke AWS Batch Job in the DAGs like below.
batch = AWSBatchOperator(
    task_id='batch',
    job_name='my-job',
    job_definition='arn:aws:batch:my-job-def',
    job_queue='arn:aws:batch:my-job-queue',
    overrides={
        'command': ["echo", "hello"]
    },
    array_properties={},
    parameters={},
    region_name='my-region',
    dag=dag
)

When I invoke this command, task fails with the log below.
[2020-12-01 08:30:11,642] {awsbatch_operator.py:150} INFO - AWS Batch Job has failed executed
[2020-12-01 08:30:11,660] {taskinstance.py:1150} ERROR - Unable to locate credentials

This seems reasonable because our AWS policy forces users to login with MFA to do something in the AWS.
How can I define Login these information(such as aws_access_key, secret, etc) onto above environemnt? Should it be defined in helm chart's values.yaml or AirFlow UI?

A: in case you are running airflow on AWS, you should be able to attach an IAM role to the instance (EC2), tasks (ECS) or pod (EKS) so that credentials are not taken into account but rather the IAM role attached.
Also, AWS has a managed airflow service: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/introducing-amazon-managed-workflows-for-apache-airflow-mwaa/

Q: java.lang.String android.net.Uri.toString() on a null object reference, LogCat shows this error at line 202 I am trying to get the download Url based on the condition that the image path for the storage reference is null or not.
I tried to put the whole code inside the if else statement instead of just assigning the value to download_uri inside the condition which resolves the error. I am not able to understand why this approach works and another one doesn't.
    mSaveButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            final String name=mProfileName.getText().toString();
            if(!TextUtils.isEmpty(name) && mainImageUri!=null){
                mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                if(isChanged){
                //The task of storing the data goes through uploading the image as well.

            user_id = mUser.getUid();

            final StorageReference image_path= mStorageReference.child("profile_photo").child(user_id+".jpg");
            image_path.putFile(mainImageUri).addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
                @Override
                public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot> task) {
                         if(task.isSuccessful()){
                            storeFireStore(image_path,name);
                         }else{
                             String error = task.getException().getMessage();
                             Toast.makeText(SetUpActivity.this,"Image Error: "+error,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                         }
                    mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);

                }
            });

        }else{
                    //The task of storing the data does not go through uploading the image.
                    storeFireStore(null,name);
                    mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                }
            }

        }
    });

}
private void storeFireStore(StorageReference image_path, final String name) {
    final Uri[] download_uri = new Uri[1];
    if(image_path!=null){
        image_path.getDownloadUrl().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Uri>() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(Uri uri) {
                download_uri[0] =uri;
                Log.d(TAG,"Download Url obtained");
            }
        });
        } else{
        download_uri[0] =mainImageUri;
        Log.d(TAG,"Download Url obtained in else");
    }

Map<String,String> userMap=new HashMap<>();
userMap.put("image", download_uri[0].toString());//line 202 this is
where the error occurs.userMap.put("name",name);

I expect to get the downLoad_uri but it provides a null value

A: image_path.getDownloadUrl().addOnSuccessListener() is asynchronous and returns immediately, before the results of the operation are complete.  Your code goes on to access the download_uri array which is initialized with null values.  You can only expect the array to have a populated value after the callback completes.

A: I don't know why you are doing unnecessary work to get download URL of image if you can do it by just simple on line of code.
Just use below code to upload image in firebase storage.
    image_path.putFile(mainImageUri).addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
       @Override
       public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot> task) {
         if(task.isSuccessful()){

           // HERE YOU CAN DIRECTLY GET DOWNLOAD URL OF UPLOADED IMAGE USING TASK RESULT.
           String downloadUrl = String.valueOf(taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl());
           storeFireStore(downloadUrl,name);

         } else {

           String error = task.getException().getMessage();
           Toast.makeText(SetUpActivity.this,"Image Error: "+error,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

         }
         mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
       }
    });

And make change in storeFireStore method like below,
    private void storeFireStore(String image_path, final String name) {

        Map<String, String> userMap = new HashMap<>();
        userMap.put("image", image_path != null ? image_path : "");//line 202 this is where the error occurs.
        userMap.put("name", name);

    }

Glenn Miller in Britain : Then and Now
By Chris Way
Wherever the present-day Glenn Miller orchestras play, they are continually being asked: where exactly did the great man perform? Now, Miller aficionado, Chris Way, has listed and chronicled every concert and broadcast that the band undertook from June 1944, when they arrived in the UK, to that tragic day six months later when Glenn went missing on a flight to France.The circumstances surrounding the last flight are described, avoiding the considerable speculation — some of it highly improbable — which has surrounded it in recent years, to illustrate what happened on that foggy December day in 1944.Chris Way also details the two films in which Miller appeared during the war plus, of course, The Glenn Miller Story.This book is authorised by Steven D. Miller, son of Glenn Miller, on behalf of the Miller estate

Home Business MTN's shares drop 23% after CBN's $8.1bn sanction
MTN's shares drop 23% after CBN's $8.1bn sanction
The shares of the MTN Group dropped as much as 23 per cent to a nine-year low, yesterday, a day after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) ordered the telecoms firm to repatriate $8.1 billion alleged to have been sent abroad illegally.
It was reported that at trading on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, MTN shares were down 21.4 per cent at 84.35 rand, after touching 83 rand, a level last seen in 2009.
The CBN's demand is the latest setback for MTN Nigeria, the South African group's most lucrative but increasingly also its most problematic market.
It comes two years after MTN, Africa's biggest telecoms company, agreed to pay a fine of more than $1 billion for allowing the use of millions of improperly unregistered SIM cards on its network.
But in a statement, MTN Nigeria refuted the CBN's claim in strong terms.
Signed by its public relations manager, Funso Aina, MTN said it received a letter on August 29 from the CBN alleging that the Certificate of Capital Importation (CCI) issued in respect of the conversion of shareholders' loans in MTN Nigeria to preference shares in 2007 had been improperly issued, and that consequently, the historic dividends repatriated by the telecommunications firm between 2007 and 2015 amounting to $8.1 billion needed to be refunded to the apex bank.
It claimed no dividends have been declared or paid by the Nigerian arm other than pursuant to CCIs issued by its bankers with the approval of the CBN as required by law.
He explained that the issue surrounding the CCIs has already been the subject of a thorough enquiry by the Senate of Nigeria.
According to him, "in September 2016, the Senate mandated the Committee on Banking, Insurance and other Financial Institutions to carry out a holistic investigation on compliance with the foreign exchange (monitoring and miscellaneous) act by MTN Nigeria and others.
In its report issued in November 2017, the findings evidenced that MTN Nigeria did not collude to contravene the foreign exchange laws and there were no negative recommendations made against MTN Nigeria."
Aina said MTN Nigeria, as a law-abiding body, is committed to good governance and to abiding by the extant laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Promising to "engage with the relevant authorities and vigorously defend our position on this matter and provide further information when available," MTN, however, added: "The re-emergence of these issues is regrettable, as it damages investor confidence and, by extension, inhibits the growth and development of the Nigerian economy."
This concern was re-echoed by Greg Davies of boutique investment house, Cratos Capital, in Johannesburg, who noted: "You just can't do business in an environment where these type of things are going to happen."
The CBN's director of corporate communications, Isaac Okorafor, said on Tuesday that investigations specifically revealed that $3.45 billion was allegedly repatriated by Standard Chartered Bank on the basis of illegally issued CCIs.
Similarly, "$2.63 billion, $1.76 billion and $348.9 million were repatriated by Stanbic IBTC Nigeria, Citibank Nigeria and Diamond Bank Plc between 2007 and 2015."
Okorafor said the investigations by the CBN in March 2018 became necessary, following allegations of remittances of foreign exchange with irregular CCIs issued on behalf of some offshore investors of MTN Nigeria.
Already, the CBN has ordered the managements of the four banks and MTN Nigeria to immediately refund the $8.1 billion allegedly repatriated by the company to the coffers of the apex bank.
Figures obtained from the CBN yesterday showed that the highest fine of N2.47 billion was slammed on Standard Chartered Bank, while Stanbic IBTC Nigeria got N1.88 billion. Citibank Nigeria is to pay N1.26 billion and Diamond Bank N250 million.
The CBN investigation further revealed that on account of the illegal conversion of MTN shareholders' loan to preference shares (interest free loan) worth $399.5million, the company illegally repatriated $8.13 billion.
Okorafor said the investigations were thorough and allowed all the parties a fair hearing. He advised banks and multinational companies in Nigeria to adhere strictly to extant regulations in their foreign exchange transactions.
Asked to react, Citibank's head of media, Lola Oyeka, said she could not speak on the matter.
She, however, noted that if the bank had a statement, it would be made available.
Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria, in a statement, said: "While we cannot provide additional information due to ongoing engagement with the regulators, we look forward to a rapid resolution and satisfactory outcome of this matter."
The heads of media of the remaining banks could not be reached for comments.
Meanwhile, the fine levied on the banks has pushed the stock market to a N100 billion plunge.
At the close of transactions, yesterday, the banking sector of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) witnessed free fall in share prices, as 10 banking stocks, including those of Diamond and Stanbic IBTC recorded price depreciation, reversing the gradual recovery recorded in the sector at the re-opening of trading on Monday.
Operators told The Guardian the development was having a multiplier effect on the market, which is largely driven by activities in the banking sector.
Findings also revealed that a lot of investors who gave mandate for the purchase of banking stocks suddenly issued counter-directives, following the pronouncement, apparently fearing they may lose their investment.
The all-share index depreciated by 272.27 absolute points, representing a decline of 0.77 per cent.
It closed at 35,086.67 points from 35, 358.94 recorded on Wednesday.
The market capitalisation went down by N100 billion from N12,909 trillion, closing at N12,809 trillion.
Diamond Bank, which appreciated by N0.09 kobo, to close at N1.39 kobo on Wednesday, lost N0.13 kobo to close at N1.26 kobo yesterday due to investors' apathy to the stock.
Stanbic IBTC lost N1.25 kobo to close at N47.25 kobo, from N48.50 kobo at which it opened for transactions yesterday.
The Managing Director of Highcap Securities, Imafidon Adonri, said: "The banking index declined yesterday.
Previously, we saw some recoveries in the sector. But today (Thursday), the information has eroded investors' confidence in the sector."
He admitted it was appropriate to sanction banks that contravene CBN rules on transactions but expressed fear that the huge fine might impact negatively on the banks' balance sheet.
"My fear is that the sanction appears to be severe. The punishment is capable of destroying the banks.
If there is a way the CBN can reduce the sanction, it will be welcomed.
"It is the people that committed the offence, not the bank. The severity of the sanction is not in order.
If anything happens to the banking sector, it sends a lot of panic to the market."

Noble Prize winner, Joseph Brodsky was a Russian-American famous poet and essayist.
It was a time when he was young and he fell in love with a lady Marina. They shared the same passion for art, he was a young poet and she loves doing the painting. They got married and had a kid together in Russia.
But the happiness didn't last long, in the year 1972; Soviet authorities came and arrested Joseph. He was deported from USSR, his home and send to Vienna. And after that Marina and Joseph never met. He suffered a lot and requested the government to stay in his country and write poems but the government insisted on his leaving the country.
His work was liked and appreciated around the world except for the Soviet Union. The government argued that his work was against their nation; his writing did not support the Russian principles.
By the help of some of the fellow poets, he started working in United States. He was professor in universities of Yale, the University of Michigan and others. In 1991, Brodsky became the United States Poet Laureate.
•	In 1988, Brodsky gave a speech at University of Michigan. He shared very useful strategy to deal with critics, detractors and negative people.
•	Of course, there are so many people around us, from office, from your friends who make you unhappy. He insisted that you should not pay attention to the people who make your life miserable.
•	He said that you should not tell stories about the people who make your life miserable to others. If you complain about how others treated you, they don't feel sorry for you, rather they enjoy it.
•	If anybody is doing wrong with you; you should not go against him or do something wrong with him in return. Don't react to the situations, why greying your hairs in the tension of others.
•	Forgiving and forgetting about them will help you live a peaceful and good life. You cannot remove them from your life but at least forgiving them will make your life easy.
•	The effect of negative thoughts intensifies when we talk about it or discuss it. Everybody makes bad decisions, chose wrong things, but you cannot just regret your decisions all your life, we have to move on. Do something good that is worth listening and worth your attention.
•	If anyone is offering you advice then just listen to it, it's totally up to you if you want to follow it or not.
He was an inspirational poet, writer, and a human being.


Jackal gods are among the most recognizable and vivid symbols of ancient Egypt, but they are rarely considered as distinct individual beings. These canine gods, associated with the dead and the afterlife, are immediately identifiable as "Egyptian" but not so well known or well understood. "Death Dogs" may seem hostile and fierce to us but were, in fact, protective and helpful to the ancient Egyptians, assisting them from death into the afterlife.
This special exhibition, curated by Terry G. Wilfong, was on display at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, University of Michigan, from February 6 to May 3, 2015.
Jackal, Dog, Wolf, or Fox?


Today's modern anesthetic monitors have made surgery much safer than in the past. Here at Muncy Veterinary Center, we do a thorough physical exam on your pet before administering anesthetics, to ensure that a fever or other illness won't be a problem. We also adjust the amount and type of anesthetic used depending on the health of your pet, reducing the risk of anesthesia. Many pets needs blood testing before surgery to ensure that the liver and kidneys can handle the anesthetic. Even apparently healthy animals can have serious organ system problems that cannot be detected without blood testing. If there is a problem, it is much better to find it before it causes anesthetic or surgical complications. Animals that have minor dysfunction will handle the anesthetic better if they receive IV fluids during surgery. If serious problems are detected, surgery can be postponed until the problem is corrected.
We offer two levels of in-house blood testing before surgery, which we will go over with you when you bring your pet in. Our doctors prefer the more comprehensive screen, because it gives them the most information to ensure the safety of your pet. For geriatric or ill pets, additional blood tests, or x-rays may be required before surgery as well.
For dogs, we may recommend an oral anti-inflamatory the day after surgery and several days after to lessen the risk of discomfort and swelling. We use newer medications, which are less likely to cause stomach upset and can be given even the morning of surgery. Because cats do not tolerate standard pain medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or Tylenol, we are limited in what we can give them. Recent advances in pain medications have allowed for better pain control in cats than ever before. We administer a pain injection 10 minutes prior to surgery. After surgery, pain medication is given on a case by case basis. Any animal that appears painful will receive additional pain medication.

What Can We Learn From the Global Effort Around Mobile Learning?
Closing the achievement gap and giving all students access to a world of learning online remains one of the strongest allures of education technology. In the U.S., that conversation is often centered on the newest shiny device, slickest software or free app, but internationally mobile technology is revolutionizing learning too, often without fancy gadgets. Recognizing the creative learning strategies being implemented in developing countries could help expand thinking in the U.S and inform the ongoing discussion about how to use technology to deepen learning.
Africa is the fastest growing mobile market and the second largest after Asia. Vosloo says there are more mobile phone subscriptions than people in Africa, meaning some people have more than one. Many people in developing countries have only accessed the internet through a mobile phone and mobile connectivity far surpasses desktop connections.
Given the rapid growth and existing infrastructure for mobile connections it makes sense to pursue strategies that leverage mobile devices for learning. Most people in developing countries have what are called "feature phones"; they're less sophisticated and powerful than smartphones and have fewer features. But they do have numeric keypads, and can access the internet on a tiny screen. Researchers believe that even this small amount of access offers huge possibilities, although equity is still an issue for those who don't have the money to consistently buy phone credits.
"Mobile learning can help reach marginalized populations," Vosloo said, giving as an example a library in Ghana that has no books on its shelves, but now has an e-reader, giving the students of that village access to hundreds of books that could never be physically sent to the library. That e-reader has opened the world to curious learners.
In Nigeria, UNESCO is piloting a program with English teachers. Program leaders send messages daily with examples of how to teach English language to teachers throughout the country. The messages are formatted specifically for viewing on inexpensive devices common in Nigeria and are modular lessons. UNESCO has received feedback from participating teachers that the support is changing their teaching style and helping them to improve. It also allows teachers to share their learning with one another, previously very difficult to do between remote rural villages. An agreement with the mobile provider keeps costs for users low.
UNESCO is also studying how the World Reader app has changed reading habits in the developing world, especially in places where many are illiterate. The organization interviewed 4,000 users and found that, in general, users are accessing and reading longer form content on their mobile devices. Detailed results of that study will be released in February.
"Many parents and teachers still think mobile learning and technology is not part of education," said Vosloo. "[They think] they are more for distracting or disrupting, anything but learning." UNESCO is working hard to change that perception and to help education departments to see mobile learning as an opportunity, not a threat. They advocate for clear policies set at the state or national level to guide mobile teaching practices. They've even written some guidelines to help governments set policy.
"It also sends out a clear message from leadership that, 'we've considered mobile learning, we want to engage with it and these are the conditions in which it can happen,'" Vosloo said. The uncertain policy moment plaguing most of the world does not exclude the U.S. Districts are bringing tablets into the classroom or allowing student to bring their own devices, but haven't always set clear policies. Some schools, recognizing the ubiquity of mobile devices, are taking their acceptable use policies and shifting them to become "responsible use" policies, trying to teach students how to use their technology respectfully.
Vosloo says even phones that only have texting (SMS) and calling functions can be useful for learning. "The main thing to remember is not that we're going to deliver a whole textbook or learning experience by SMS," he said. "The idea is what does SMS do well?" UNESCO has used texts to send reminders, for school administration purposes or to send small bits of content to students.
In one project focused on literacy for young women in Pakistan, students would travel to a central location for lessons in Urdu, then return to their remote villages for several weeks. The only way to reach them quickly was through text messages. "The biggest problem for new literates is forgetting what they've learned unless that knowledge is reinforced," Vosloo said. Teachers texted reminders to the girls about reading and discussion assignments. "It played a very important role in that teaching and learning experiment," Vosloo said.
Another program called BBC Janala in Bangladesh taught English to adults with audio. Students would call a number, listen to a three minute audio lesson and leave a message. The program used voice recognition software and texting for assessment. Again, a deal with the telecommunications provider kept the calls low cost.
Mobile technology is opening up creative ways for people around the world to learn from one another and the internet. In the U.S., school districts sometimes focus on glitzy devices and worry about giving students too much free access to the internet through their own devices. But perhaps there is a lesson from UNESCO's global education work in recognizing the potential for reaching truly marginalized populations with fairly simple technology.
The UNESCO programs recognize the limitations of the devices their users own and cater their programs to those devices. They work around limitations and come up with creative ideas, rather than expecting every student to have the best phone.


Entrepreneur turned VC: Who Should Attend Your VC Pitch?
Posted by Pierre de la Fortune on May 17, 2015 @ 12:01 a.m.
This post is part of my series called, "Pitching a VC" (link here) that covers what to do before, during and after your VC presentations.
In this post I want to cover the topic of which members on your team should attend the first VC meeting.
Let's call this the "screening" meeting since it will almost always have at most 1 partner and sometimes won't even have a partner but instead an associate or principal.
Option 1. CEO attends on his / her own. For a first meeting I think you can get away with just the CEO attending. The argument for just the CEO is that this is a chance for the CEO to build rapport with the partner and 1-on-1 is often the best way to do so. Obviously the other arguments for just 1 person attending are that the other staff can stay focused on the business and it may be a case where travel is involved so you want to keep costs to a minimum. Note that if your company has two founders the non-CEO founder could attend provided that this person is commercial and is good with people (as opposed to the deeply technical guy).
Option 2. CEO attends with 1 or more staff. My preferred option is that multiple people attend even the first VC meeting. VC's invest in teams not individuals. Even the most talented individuals in the world need great teams surrounding them. It is rare that you a single person who is excellent commercially, technically, product wise, is a "people person" / great leader, runs good internal admin AND knows how to make money. So if you have a great team then getting them all involved in the meeting is a great way to show that you have "a deep bench." If the VC is fielding a partner then I believe this even more so but if the VC is fielding an associate then you can use your own judgment.
If you bring the full team make sure that you construct the entire storyline in advance so everybody knows how you plan to have the meeting flow. Who is going to cover which slides, who is going to field which questions, how are you going to answer difficult questions (which you should write down in advance and practice). Definitely don't "wing it" – have practice sessions to see how each member performs. Honestly I would say a good 50% of team presentations that I see seem like they really haven't practiced the flow very well amongst team members.
I just wanted to compose a brief word so as to say thanks to you for all of the great recommendations you are giving here. My extended internet look up has at the end of the day been rewarded with professional insight to write about with my great friends.
I discovered your blog website on google and check a number of of your early posts. Proceed to keep up the superb operate. I simply extra up your RSS feed to my MSN Information Reader. Searching for forward to reading extra from you afterward!?
My husband and i have been really happy that Michael could deal with his homework from the ideas he had from your own weblog. It is now and again perplexing just to happen to be freely giving steps which usually the others may have been making money from.
Aw, this was a really nice post. In thought I would like to put in writing like this additionally ?taking time and precise effort to make an excellent article?however what can I say?I procrastinate alot and not at all seem to get something done.
Government support or funding - Generic term for annual subventions of money derived from national taxation by central government (usually through a Ministry of Culture, or its agents such as Arts or Cultural Councils) and/or by regional and local government from their own revenues (locally raised taxes plus their redistributed share of national taxation). As well as "direct" support through providing financial subsidy, governments (and regions in some countries) provide a range of support through legislative measures, and local government also often offers additional "hidden" support to NGOs, etc., through remission on property or other taxes.

The fires in Southern California hit home for one of WAAY 31's own, taking everything away from his family.
As of late Thursday night, the Thomas Fire in Ventura County, Calif. has burned 115,000 acres, taking with it countless homes and impacting thousands of families. Included in that group is one of WAAY31's own. sports director Jesse Merrick's family home was lost in the blaze Tuesday, taking with it everything his mother Kat Merrick owned. Luckily everyone in the family made it out safely and they are pushing through this tough time.
Thanks to insurance they will be able to rebound but many others in the area won't be as fortunate. For that reason, the Merrick family is planning to use Kat Merrick's non-profit Totally Local VC, which is a collaborative initiative focused on promoting the importance and success of our local agriculture and business community to help rebuild their community.
Through Totally Local VC, the family has started a GoFundMe page to help support those impacted by the fires as they look to rebound and rebuild in the midst of this devastation.

FLORIDA retiree Max Wells is miffed.
"I was deliberately taken. I told them three times I didn't want any risk," Mr. Wells says in a telephone interview from his home in St. Petersburg.
Another swampland sales scam? A penny stock swindle? Nope. Wells was dealing with a regional bank.
A year ago, Wells put $5,400 into what he thought was a government-insured account, supposedly "guaranteed to earn 5 percent over five years," he claims. Two months later, Mr. Wells received a statement in the mail saying his NationsSecurities mutual fund account had dropped in value. "Nobody said anything about a mutual fund," he fumes.
In case you missed it, your banker may now be a broker. For the first time since the Depression, the legal wall blocking banks from selling securities is being seriously breached. Banks are aggressively fulfilling the promise of one-stop financial shopping - stocks, bonds, insurance, and home mortgages all sold under one roof. Banks have already captured more than $300 billion in mutual fund assets (14 percent of the national total) since 1990, according to the Investment Company Institute, a Washington-based mutal fund industry trade group.
"Bank customers are risk-averse people," says Jonathan Alpert, Wells's attorney. "Millions of taxpayer dollars have been spent over the years to give banks credibility, stability, status, and an air of impregnability. The banks are using that trust to trick people into buying securities."
Wells and other disgruntled customers have caught the attention of the banking industry with a multimillion-dollar class-action lawsuit filed this summer against NationsSecurities and its parent company, NationsBank, a Charlotte, N.C.-based bank with about 1,900 offices in 10 states.
About 60 NationsSecurities stockbrokers have also filed arbitration claims, most in the last month, with the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), a New York-based securities industry self-regulatory organization, complaining that the bank's brokerage unit encouraged them to mislead bank customers. Two other Southeastern banks have legal claims pending in similar cases and state securities regulators say a rising number of complants suggests a pattern of abusive practices.
NationsBank attorney Peter Aldrich calls the allegations "wild" and "totally false," in a statement filed with the NASD. Bank officials say brokers employing underhanded sales tactics are fired because such practices are illegal and bad for business. "Banks look for long-term relationships," Alfred Pollard told a congressional hearing on the issue last month.
"Banks have every incentive to maintain customer confidence by demonstrating that banks are the most trusted providers of financial services," says Mr. Pollard, a senior director of The Bankers Roundtable, a Washington-based trade group composed of executives from the nation's largest banks.
The confusion stems from what goes on in today's bank lobby. Once a genteel place where federally insured deposits were taken, banks are subtly but rapidly becoming high-powered sales rooms for uninsured securities. Larger regional banks are marketing not only well-known mutual funds, but their own brands of mutual funds, often trading on their reputation by giving the funds similar names and using promotional material that uses bank corporate colors and logos.
Consumer groups, Congress, and federal regulators are concerned that customer confusion is mounting. Often securities brokers sit in the same lobby, and sometimes, as in Wells's case, at the same desk once occupied by bank clerks.

The Dominican University College (formerly the Dominican College of Philosophy and Theology) is a bilingual Roman Catholic university in Ottawa, Ontario, offering civil and pontifical bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in philosophy and theology. Its name in French is Collège universitaire dominicain. It was founded in Ottawa, in 1900, modeled on the study centres of the Order of Preachers, as the centre of graduate studies for Canadian Dominicans.[1]
Holding a civil university charter since 1967, the college is open to any person interested in philosophy and theology. In Ottawa, its Faculty of Philosophy and Faculty of Theology offer the full range of programs, from certificate to doctorate. The Institut de pastorale, located in Montreal, offers its degrees in pastoral studies. Since spring 2012, The college has become affiliated with Carleton University.[2]

In 1260, forty-five years after the foundation of the Dominican Order by Dominique de Guzman, the studium generale was established, a model for a university specialised in philosophy and theology that will last centuries.
The building opened in 1899 as a Dominican convent and house of studies. Today the building houses the Dominican Monastery and the Dominican University College, which offers undergraduate and graduate studies in philosophy and theology. The Saint-Jean-Baptiste Priory has served St-Jean-Baptiste Parish since its foundation in 1899. The building, which features arched ceilings, stained glass in the church and library, and a Doors Open Ottawa, held June 2 and 3, 2012.[3]
In 1900, the Dominicans brought their school of theology to Ottawa, followed shortly by studies in philosophy in 1902. In 1967, a civil charter was granted by the Ontario Government, allowing the college to offer civil degrees in philosophy and theology.
Since then, the college has grown regularly, especially with the opening of English undergraduate programmes in philosophy in 1992 and in theology in 2003. The college offers English graduate degrees in philosophy since 1997, and will soon offer the same in theology.
The faculty of the Department of Philosophy at the Dominican University College (D.U.C) have diverse research and wide-ranging research interests in the history of philosophy, metaphysics and modern philosophy.[4]
The DUC, with its traditional origins in the House of Studies of the Friar Preachers of St. Dominic, is particularly well situated and established to promote advanced research studies in the history of philosophy. The medieval tradition, with its overarching synthesis in the philosophy and theology of St. Thomas Aquinas, requires a solid grounding in the ancient philosophies of Plato, Aristotle and the Neo-Platonists. The Department encourages and often conducts research in the original languages of the ancient authors. Faculty members are continually engaged in scholarly studies which demonstrate the relevance of ancient philosophy to understanding the modern world.
Equally, the classical traditions of early modern rationalism and empiricism provide important precedents for the understanding of modernity. Faculty members have engaged in the study of Descartes, Spinoza and Leibniz. The other great precedent for modernity is German Idealism, wherein the philosophies of Kant and Hegel provided the foundation for modern inquiries into epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, politics and jurisprudence. The college not only encourages the specialized study of individual philosophers in these traditions, but also promotes the articulation of significant connections between various philosophers and schools of thought. Speculative inquiry into the meaning of the philosophical tradition as a whole is a mode of reflection widely promoted by faculty members.
The Students' Association (AECDO) elects its representatives who sit on the boards of the Faculty of Philosophy and of the Faculty of Theology. It organizes and directs various activities (extracurricular, social justice committee, social gathering) pertaining to student life.
Between them, the Faculty of Philosophy and Theology have about 80 full-time students each, for a total student body size of about 160.
The Dominican University College offers a general education in philosophy, through the study of the principal schools of thought as well as major philosophical themes. Although the college is a Catholic institution, it is open to all schools of thought. Studies range from the Greek philosophers to Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas Aquinas, René Descartes and Immanuel Kant, and other modern and post-modern philosophers.
