Of course, the answer depends on where you're going. But for the perfect "must take" list, some International Educators recommend bringing ear plugs for noisy sleeping environments, enough reading material for a year, US postage stamps so people traveling to the States can mail things for you, extra passport photos and a good map. With many of us getting ready to make an international move, and some for the very first time, what could be more timely than this Blog to discuss things to bring and things to leave behind?

Moving to Thailand with husband & 2 children under 4. Any advice on what to bring?
I am leaving from the USA to teach in Cebu Philippines. Any advice on what to pack and leave behind would be helpful. I know that clothing and shoes are a must due to me wearing a 14 in clothing and 9 shoe. I wasn't sure if I should pack deodorant, make-up, tampons and such. From what I've read here, I should probably leave my blow dryer behind.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you so much!!
We are moving to Guangdong to teach from the US. We both have US lap tops. What convertors should we bring? Where can we purchase these? A friend mentioned a universal power strip which can be purchased at Walmart… We would rather purchase these items before we leave the US… Any help/comments/advice.
My husband and I will be moving to Cape Town, South Africa in July. Does anyone have any words of wisdom for us?
Cape Town is a world-class city and you should have no difficulty with purchasing groceries and household items. What you will find expensive are electronics and computer equipment. Just about everything else is reasonably priced. Note that most buildings are not insulated or heated and that it can get quite cold in June and July – those are their winter months. Bring fleece, wool and good rain gear. I will be living there for five weeks over that time myself before moving on to a new school in Mozambique. Be especially careful during World Cup season – I expect more crime because of opportunists. Be wary of certain areas of the city – especially at night.
Ask the expats in your new location for a sample of their shopping list. It will indicate gaps in what is imported. Explain what things are important to you (salon quality hair products, special sports shoes, cooking). This really helped with the new hires in Kuwait when I was there. I have been gone so long that my list gets shorter and shorter each year, but each country is different. Be prepared for the fact that you may dress very differently in a new country due to comfort, weather, local conditions etc. I am at high altitude in South America where everyone wheres long sleeve tshirts, jeans and boots. Sandals are out because the streets are nasty. My clothes from Eastern Europe don't really work. I will do a good shop in the states in July.
Bring a Swiffer mop for cleaning floors!
I am leaving for Cairo, Egypt and I need to know what to bring! My friends are telling me to bring all my DVDS and such. But that is a whole suitcase by itself! Also tampons, make-up, shampoo; Do I really need to bring that stuff? I was just planning on bringing all my clothes. I will probably end up bringing 4 suitcases and just paying extra for them! I need a plan of what I should really bring! HELP ME!
Entertainment can be found with ease via Itunes and streaming. I have wasted the valuable weight on my first move and I am currently trying to sell all my DVD's as I pack out of Europe to head to Cairo. The past two years of living abroad, I have found great comfort in scented candles, Glade plug ins (adaptors needed),Fabreeze is a safer alternative, boxes of Mac and Cheese, and a digital picture frame which saves the bulk of random frames. We all have our personal comforts. But take it from a person who moves every few years…it is just stuff that gets old, damaged, lost, and left behind as it becomes extra baggage–consumable products are what I tend to pack. Makeup, tampons, lotions, Skittles for the first week of school, and if I have extra room, I will slip in a bottle of Napa Wine. I am holding off on sending tons of clothes as the fashion and modesty levels will have to be observed first hand. Fabrics will also be more accommodating to the sand and heat if bought in Cairo. If you are in dire need you will be in a network of expats who can direct you to similar alternatives. You will travel a lot too, and will come across many places for new consumable discoveries. Happy packing! Less is better, keep in mind, you will be relying on others to help transport your boxes, and it may be a few weeks until you have keys to living quarters. Best!
You really only need to worry about bringing tampons, shampoo etc if you are particular about using certain brands. They have these things here – just perhaps not what you are used to or the exact thing you like. Also it may take time for you to find where to buy things and find the brands etc you do like here – just bring the basics to tide you over for the first week or so until you have a chance to get out and about finding stores etc.
I would however say you should bring makeup – I am running out and cannot find the same foundation I am used to or a decent alternative in the right color. I wish I had brought deodorant from home – but I ws particular with a brand I always used and cant find anything even close.
As for DVDs etc, maybe just bring some you really want but most likely you will find other members of staff in the same situation and get a network of sharing going on as is the case in my current school – or download them from here.
I lived in Egypt for 5 years–you can get almost anything there! Especially if you live in Maadi, where stores cater to ex-pats. You can get Oreos and Nutter-Butters, for pete's sake, and McDonald's delivers. You'll also get most Hollywood-type movies, and cable can get HBO and Showtime, so only take DVD's if you're a movie buff or there are some you especially love.
Definitely bring your clothes–quality not that good in Egypt. And plan for winter! Buildings are cement and not very well heated, so you'll get cold.
I am moving to Quito Ecuador this summer. Any advice on what to take or leave behind would be great! Thanks!
I lived in Guayaquil for a number of years and visited Quito frequently. Bring a warm jacket for the winter months. Electronics are expensive so bring a lap top. Other than that you should be able to find anything in the malls of Quito. Have fun…I loved Quito.
I am due to move to Dubai from the UK in August and I although I know there various shops etc where I can buy clothes, Books etc I still dont know what to take???? If anyone has been in my shoes any advice would be appreciated!!!
I am in Dubai – believe me… you will want for NOTHING! I buy clothes in the States each summer simply because they are cheaper. Just bring clothes you like – modest for work and COOL. Leave the winter clothes at home – you will never need anything more than a light sweater. You will accumulate more 'stuff' than you ever bargained for anyway. My day of shopping today included Borders for a new novel, Starbucks and a pair of Gap jeans. Everything is here.
When moving from US to Europe, I brought lots of my favorite books and clothes, personal items, like photos and hobby stuff. The books were a waste of space, though books here are twice the price, it's still more convenient to buy as you want something or a book or two when you travel. Now I have lots of books I don't want to send on to the next job, but don't want to leave behind either.
What I missed was my favorite kitchen utensils, pans etc and cookbooks since I had to develop a different way to cook; ie. more from scratch and less reliance on convenience foods that aren't available here. English cookbooks are difficult to find.
Books are cheap and readily available from sites such as Amazon, Ebay and thebookdepository.com posting to all over Europe. Amazon Marketplace is the best place to start as they usually have any book available from an independent seller for much less than the RRP.
And yay for moving away from convenience foods!
We are moving to Amman, Jordan and planning to sell almost everything here before we go. But what do we keep to take with us? Especially with regard to computers?
And advice most welcome. This is our first foray teaching overseas.
We've been teaching in Amman now for 4 years. The taxes and duty for bringing in things in a shipment are very high here which added to the already higher base price really adds up. No duty on what you bring in suitcases as excess baggage. BRING your own laptops from North America. They are quite a bit more expensive here. Clothing- you can buy here especially when it is on sale in August and January sales. If you have big feet (women size 9 or larger) bring shoes. House stuff…there are lots of cheaper stores like Carre Four here so no need to bring anything for the house other than what makes it feel yours so that on the days you feel homesick you have a little of home with you. Hard to find tampons so bring those. Beauty products are all here. I say bring your teaching stuff. If you like outdoors then bring your hiking shoes etc….. It is 220V here so don't bring your 110 stuff. If you like using a crockpot, you can't find them here anywhere. There are bookstores, even one with a second hand room! It is a GREAT place with the most perfect climate going. Very easy living. You'll love it!
Moving to Cairo. Any advice?
For Cairo I would say bring your favorite health/beauty products. Good deordorant, lotions, shampoo, and the like. Over the counter medicines (especially for children) are not of the same quality.
Clothing is expensive and not well made. Same for shoes.
Everything else is here and probably more affordable than in your home country.
I'm moving to Colombia for my first overseas teaching experience. I have been in contact with one teacher, but the teacher has been teaching overseas for almost 20 years. She admitted that her advice was perhaps a bit outdated or biased since she hadn't been in the States in so long. Anyway, I'm curious if anyone has advice specific for Colombia. Thanks in advance!
This is my third year in Colombia..
Some things to bring…. Definitely bring clothes. They have reasonable shopping here, but sizes and trends are not as varied as elsewhere. They do have Zara and Carre-Four. However, the Zara is easily twice as much as in Spain or Europe. Bring hair product (ie mousse, hairspray) if you have a specific product you use. They do have some salon brands here, but they are outrageously expensive, and they may not have the particular brand that you buy. They have cosmetics here (Lancome, MAC, Clinique), but if you have lighter skin bring your own. It is expensive and they never have the color I use (Clinique Alabaster foundation) 🙂 Also, bring lots of English books. They do have some book stores here with English books, but it is difficult to pay 3 or 4 times the cost just to have them here. And, the selection is limited.
Have fun and enjoy the culture. The people here are very friendly and a lot of fun.
I am also moving to Colombia in August. I have a friend teaching at the school I will be going to and she has said the same. I plan to scan in my school documents instead of shipping them, and am hoping to get all my clothes into 2 suitcases.
I'll be heading to China (near Shanghai)in August – going from Europe on a two year contract and wondered whether to take electrical appliances like a hairdryer with me? What about netbook or similar? Are they readily available/cheaper/reliable?
Any more advice for a single lady?
I would only bring your hairdryer and netbook because you have them already. Don't buy any electronics because you fear they may not be available here, they are in probably 20 different colors and shapes.
I would say NO to the hairdryer or most any other appliances. Even with a voltage adapter, even when the label on your plug reads 110-220 V, certain appliances FRY on 220 V. I've found this to be especially true on appliances that use oscillating currents – hair dryers, electric shavers, coffee grinders, anything with a spinning device. Computers do OK though.
I will be heading to St. Petersburg, Russia for my first overseas assignment. Any Russia-specific advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
I worked in Russia up until last year – but way out East. I imagine that St Petersburg will have a lot more than where I was. I would take an ereader if you enjoy reading, I found the Russian Postal system somewhat challenging… Things took a while and it was possible they could go missing. (Chocolate disappered from a gift parcel on one occasion leaving just the other items – one collegue had a food parcel arrive with just the empty crisp packets. LOL!) I have also seen people go from pillar to post because post office decide the parcel needs customs clearance. So using an e-reader rather than waiting for book parcels might be helpful. I found no English bookshops where I was – although I would not know about St Petersburg. Clothes wise – they can be expensive, but you can get things.(Shoe shopping is great fun here!) One of my male friends assure me that Russian jeans are of excellent quality. Ask collegues at your new school about any particular food items you like. I always took Marmite with me. Generally though I thought the food selection was very good – particularly the made up salads. I should imagine that in a big city you will not have the same problems with restrictions on vegetables that I experienced – although they may still be expensive in the winter. Overall It is worth remembering that things can be way more expensive in Russia. I had a good time where I was and it is important to take a pretty chilled out attitude with you – when dealing with authorities and red tape you will need it!
My husband and I are taking a two year contract in Morocco. What is not available there? We will esentially have what the airline will allow, and that's that. What is needful and what can be obtained there? Thanks bunches!
I will be going to Tanzania. I would like help with a short list of things to take. Please help.
What a helpful site this is! I'm moving to Guatemala just outside Guatemala City. Talking to other teachers already there is great. I was told forget shipping stuff. It ends up sitting in warehouses and you may not get it all in the end. Take extra suitcases instead and pay extra for them since you'll get reimbursed anyway. I think that sounds like very good advice and might help eleminate the temptation to pack too much. I'm wondering about the best way to get mail. Through the school's mail service perhaps? Also, is paying bills online any different/riskier there than here? I don't want to burden anyone in the states with that task. Any other advice someone might have regarding moving to Guatemala would be appreciated.
Korea, most everything is available here, for a price. Costco's entry into the country has proven to be a god send for western products. Deoderant is now available in most towns, but expensive. Seoul has an excellent English bookstore, what the book, that ships anywhere in Korea for about two dollars, usually next day. The only things really lacking, if you are not in Seoul, are clothes. Bigger clothes are still hard to find, women will have trouble if not Korean size, ie bras. Shoes can also be tough if you have wide or larger feet. Over the counter medicine is limited, like cough syrup and the like, doctor visits are covered under national health, which you will probably be enrolled in, good care, very cheap, RX's also cheap.
For me, I am moving to Myanmar, any advice?
Am moving from China to Korea, with 2 kids. Any advice out there? Thanks!
We are moving to Malaysia in July. We are a family of 4 with 2 kids aged (then) 4 and 9 months. Any advice on essentials we must bring? (I know Mothercare is there but I've heard it's very expensive.) Are kids' clothes easily found and affordable. Footwear for kids? Clothes for western women (UK size 10) and men (M/L)? Thanks!
You shouldn't have a problem with childrens clothes or womens clothes if you are a size ten.A lot of the shops we have in the UK are in Malaysia including Topshop. It's cheaper than the UK!!!! The only problem I had was with shoes as I have feet bigger than size 40.
If your husband is tall he may struggle a bit with finding the right length but it's cheap enough to use a tailor.
You can get almost everything u have in the UK in most major citiesincluding herbs and spices and other food you can get in UK. Just go to the big western supermarkets.
Thanks so much for that advice – it really is much appreciated!
Kuwait has most everything you will want — it is definitely a consumer society with an amazing amount of shopping and HUGE malls. When traveling don't forget your documents for work permits. Often places will only take originals or certified copies of transcripts, diplomas. Make colored copies of your passport and bring many passport photos wherever you go. And bring comfortable shoes. As a woman if you wear over size 42 it is very difficult to find shoes to fit.
I am moving to Bangkok in July with my wife and 2 year old daughter. We are purging, purging, purging. Huge yard sale scheduled for Memorial Day weekend. Photos are being packed carefully, sans frames and we are bringing our own sports equipment and laptops.
I have worked in China, now I am in Kuwait, my 3rd year here. You can buy ANYTHING you need in Kuwait, and don't bother shipping heavy books, everything is on the net these days! In both China and Kuwait, don't take many clothes. Take a few favorites and get some tailoring done. Tailors are cheap, and very good at copying, not so good at making originals for you.Travel light, it makes the experience so much easier, and more fun.
Bring an extra battery for your computer. And particular spices that you like to cook with: poultry seasoning, for example. Find out if English reading material is readily available (in Turkey, it wasn't) or consider Kindle, etc….
Appalling and yet perhaps comforting to realize that so much from our culture will be available to you wherever you are….
My wife and I have been offered our 1st intl teaching jobs in Mexico City. We currently live in Atlanta, GA. We have 2 boys who will be 10 and 3 this summer. We are thinking about getting rid of one car and driving the other to MXC. What kind of stuff should we bring and how much?
Troy, I wouldn't do that now, especially with the drug war going on.
When we left for Malaysia we literally took three suitcases, shipped my books and sold everything else we owned. It worked out well for us, because nearly everything in Malaysia was much cheaper than the UK!
Thanks for your reply, James. My husband and I are taking our first overseas jobs in Lesotho and we plan to do exactly what you did: ship books, bring suitcases, store the best and sell the rest. Glad to know it worked out well for you. Hopefully our story will be similar!
If you are coming to China, consider bringing a self inflating camping mattress. The beds can be hard as rock here in China, even in the swankiest hotels, and you will appreciate a good night's rest after a day out and about. Having blown a number of electrical appliance brought from home I would suggest waiting to buy appliances until you get incountry. Footwear, especially if you have feet outside the norm, can be difficult to find and expensive once you do find it. A small first aid kit filled with familiar medications, nothing like trying to explain your symptoms in sign language, to make you remember to include this in your baggage. Don't forget all your banking information, maybe open a joint bank account with a sibling or close friend so they can pay North American bills for you. You'll be amazed at how much stuff you accumulate while overseas so don't overpack. Bring enough cash to make it through the first month or two, you may not get paid till the end of September. Bring some US dollars to have in reserve for holidays.
Thanks for the tips – my husband and I will be moving to Shanghai this August. Would you suggest bringing all our clothes or can we get a lot of that there?
My husband and I just spent five years living in Shanghai. You can find almost anything you want to buy there now. This wasn't the case a few years ago, but a lot has changed. I would recommend bringing shoes if you are over a size 40. This was the most difficult to find, although you can find them. You can buy almost any food or seasonings you need but they do come at a price. Western groceries stores are available but expensive. I used to take the small packets of seasonings of my favorites along with me. There is a pharmacy near the Ritz Carlton that has English speaking workers and the health care in Shanghai at Western clinics is really very good. I wouldn't worry about taking too many medications although you may want to take the essentials just so that you have them on hand if you need them. I would not bring a mattress with you. You can buy inflatable mattresses at Decathalon and you can buy good mattress pads at IKEA in any size you need. As far as bank accounts go, we kept our US Bank account open and maintained it along with our Chinese bank. Every few months, we would transfer funds and had all of out US bills set up for automatic withdrawl. Make sure to bring all your legal papers, birth cert. a copy of your passport can come in handy, marriage lic., divorce papers if you have them etc. And, yes, budget yourself the first couple of months. It is not pleasant to run out of money before you get your first paycheck. On one last note, my husband and I eventually invested in a car which changed our quality of life in Shanghai drastically, for the better. I wouldn't recommend it right away, but it is something you may want to consider. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to help.
Decathalon is a great sports store, I had forgotten they sell the camping mattresses. As for other sources of clothes, cultivate a tailor by spending time with him/her to get your measurements correct, and you can get all sorts of clothing made from pea jackets to evening wear to casual clothes. You can also get handmade shoes with a similar amount of patience.
Clothes…you can find Western sizes in Shanhgai now but the selection is limited. Decathalon carries Western sizes in their sports apparel and the is an H&W which is fantastic. You can also have clothes made which can be fun but also at times, frustrating. I would bring enough with you unless you are small and petite.
I will be leaving for Hong Kong in July. Can you tell me if your China advice also applies to the SAR? You are not the first person to recommend a mattress, but I've also heard that there is an Ikea in HK. I'm a 5'10" woman with feet to match, so I'm told I should bring a lot of clothes and shoes. You just confirmed that, too. I'd appreciate any other info you have about Hong Kong. Thanks!
Hi DD. I'm in HK. It's hard to find western sized clothing and shoes. Everything else is here. I bought a self inflating camping mattress for traveling in China, but don't use here. You can buy one in HK if you need it. It rolls up into a small cylinder shape and I take it with me when I go to China. Ikea is here, as are thousands of other great places to shop. You can get absolutely everything in HK, although you have to hunt around for some of them.
You will find almost everything you would want to buy in North American stores, never mind all the American restaurants. If you take any prescription medication, take a year's supply. When you'll arrive this summer the temperature will hover around 50 degree celcius. Loose fitting, lightweight, light colored clothing are most suitalbe and comfortable in hot weather like that. Don't forget to bring a hat and a water bottle.
Be prepared to experience a culture and possibly a school environment you never have before. Be willing to let go, to be open and when tough moments come about (and they will), be with friends who can commiserate with you and find the bright and fun side to life in Kuwait.
I think whatever you can fit in 2 suitcases is what you should bring. Clothes are often of cheap quality and grossly over-priced outside N.A, so bring only that. You can find everything you need in Kuwait – everything. I do not agree with the feminine products, et al. There are very few places on earth that you can not find what you need. Pack light – lose the attachments. You will be much happier without all that stuff to drag around the world.
Find out more about the country and the city you're going: what stuffs are available and what things you can't get – then decide what to bring from home. Email current teachers of the school you will be working – they are a good source of information. Pack only essential things you need: check your moving/relocation arrangements to make sure the extra weights you paid are well worth it. A good supply of medications ('till your next holiday home) would be essential. Be cautious about bringing-in heavy and expensive electronics items – consider getting them locally if available.
Bring ten times anything you would bring along with you to a hotel for a weekend trip. And then some. Women… feminine hygiene an beauty products times six to 12 months. And electrical converters.
I agree with Edwin – make contact with someone from Kuwait. Most everything is available at reasonable prices- if you 'hunt' for them.
Clothes, bring your own, check the dress codes regarding school policy, if you have special meds that you are taking – ask for availability here (most are available now,, but some are not). BRING YOUR own laptop and your back up software.
I am in Kuwait now. Our first trip over – way to much 'stuff' brought. Have streamlined greatly and have survived nicely.
I am also going to Kuwait in August first time. Are you at ASK? I have piles of stuff that I think I want to bring and am attempting to cull. A friend who lives over there says to have skype on your computer and a majic jack for phone (niether are available in Kuwait).


It is my goal to be the best luxury real estate photographer and drone pilot in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area, and really the entire state. I continued this pursuit working for Mark & Susan Ryerson on this unique property nestled on the east side of the Sandia Mountains in the Sandia Crest area. This property was photographed and listed previously and did not sell, in part due to the below average quality of the photographs. Mark and Susan told me upon seeing the photos that this listing now looks like the $500k+ home it is! I could not receive a better compliment from a client. I once again used the flambient technique for interiors and realistic HDR for exteriors. For information about buying this property, view the realtor.com listing.

County clerk confirms Riversiders just didn't vote
?Turnout doomed village's D208 candidates
by BOB UPHUES June 28, 2005 February 8, 2021
For anyone who thinks that his or her vote doesn't count, the Cook County Clerk recently released its voter survey for the April 2005 consolidated election. What it shows is that Riverside candidates running for office on the Riverside-Brookfield High School District 208 board were at a clear disadvantage.
The reason? Riverside was the only village within the RB boundaries whose races for village president and trustee went uncontested.
And while voter turnout in Brookfield, North Riverside and LaGrange Park wasn't exactly overwhelming, they blew Riverside away.
According to the Cook County Clerk, Riverside had the 14th-lowest voter turnout out of the 109 Cook County suburbs on April 5, with just 15.5 percent of all registered voters making it to the polls.
Meanwhile, North Riverside and Brookfield checked in with voter turnouts of 42.5 and 41.5 percent respectively, making them the 20th- and 22nd-highest on the Cook County list.
Between those two villages, some 6,620 votes were cast versus just 939 total votes cast in Riverside. That means Riverside accounted for just 12 percent of all the votes cast between the three villages.
And that translated into candidates from Riverside getting swamped in the race for the District 208 board. Six candidates ran for the board, three of them from Riverside, two from Brookfield and one from North Riverside.
Just one Riverside candidate, William McCloskey, won election. McCloskey, however, has strong ties to North Riverside and did well among voters in that village. North Riverside resident Karen Bensfield also benefited from a strong local turnout.
Meanwhile, the two remaining Riverside candidates, Olga Pribyl and Luann Stirek, were the two lowest vote-getters in the race.
Had the school board election taken place in November 2004, a presidential election, the result may have been different. While the Cook County Clerk did not break down voter turnout by municipality for the November 2004 election, it showed that voter turnout in Riverside Township, which draws the bulk of its voters from Riverside proper, was 80 percent. That ranked Riverside Township No. 5 on the voter turnout list in suburban Cook County. By itself, close to 8,200 votes were cast in Riverside Township.
Voter turnout was not as high in Proviso and Lyons townships. Lyons Township (which includes the southern half of Brookfield) turned out 76 percent of registered voters, while Proviso Township (western North Riverside and northern Brookfield) turned out 71.6 percent.

A process task can be used to invoke a BPMN 2.0 process from a case.
The referenced process definition is resolved at runtime. This means that the process can be deployed independently from the calling case, if needed.
When the process task instance becomes ACTIVE, a new process instance is launched. In the above example a new process instance of the process checkCreditProcess is created.
If a process task is blocking (i.e., the attribute isBlocking is set to true), the process task remains ACTIVE until the process instance associated with the process task is completed. After a successful completion of the called process instance, the corresponding process task completes automatically. It is not possible to complete a blocking process task manually.
In case of a non-blocking (the attribute isBlocking is set to false) task, the process task is not waiting for the process instance to complete and completes immediately after its activation and calling its associated process.
The activation of the process task as well as the creation and execution of the process instance are performed in the same transaction. The transaction is executed until a wait state or an asynchronous continuation is reached inside the called process instance (for further details read the Transactions in Processes section of the user guide). To launch a process instance asynchronously it is possible to declare the process' start event as asynchronous with the XML attribute asyncBefore="true" (see Asynchronous Instantiation).
The following is an example of a process task that calls the checkCreditProcess process with version 3.
Note: It is also possible to use an expression for the attribute processVersion that must resolve to an integer when the task is executed.
When the process task resolves the process definition to be called it must take into account multi tenancy.
By default, the tenant id of the calling case definition is used to resolve the called process definition. That is, if the calling case definition has no tenant id, then the process task resolves a process definition using the provided key, binding and without a tenant id (tenant id = null). If the calling case definition has a tenant id, a process definition with the provided key and the same tenant id is resolved.
Note that the tenant id of the calling case instance is not taken into account in the default behavior.
In some situations it may be useful to override this default behavior and specify the tenant id explicitly.
In the above example, the value of the input variable aCaseVariable is passed to the newly created process instance. Inside the process instance, the value of the input variable aCaseVariable is available as aProcessVariable. After successful completion of the called process instance, the value of the output variable aProcessVariable is passed back to the calling process task where it can be accessed by the name anotherCaseVariable.
Assuming y is not updated by the process instance, the following holds after the process task completes: z = y+5 = x+5+5.
Source expressions are evaluated in the context of the called process instance. That means, in cases where calling and called case/process definitions belong to different process applications, context like Java classes, Spring or CDI beans are resolved from the process application the called process definition belongs to.
Note: The variables keep their names.
With local="true" for the in mapping, only var2 is mapped into the called process instance.
In addition to exchanging variables, it is possible to pass a business key to the called process instance. Since a business key is immutable, this is one way mapping. It is not possible to have output mapping for a business key.
The following example shows how the business key of the calling case instance can be passed to the called process instance. In this case, the calling case instance and the called process instance end up with the same business key.

Unseen Jungle: The Microbes That Secretly Control Our World
author: Eleanor Spicer Rice
illustrator: Rob Wilson
series name:
Your Hidden Life
Microbes are everywhere: outside, indoors, on your body, in your body. In fact, only about half of our bodies' cells are human cells—the rest are microbes. Whether helping people digest their food or using mind-control techniques to lure mice into the path of hungry cats (no, really), microbes form an unseen jungle all around us. Through zany facts, hilarious and sometimes disgusting illustrations, and interviews with experts in their fields, aspiring young scientists (or kids who just want to be grossed out) will discover a hidden world in which your health depends on a myriad of microbes, houseflies get zombified by fungi, and termites are saving the planet one fart at a time.

Zenith Flash-Matic, the First Wireless TV Remote
November 09, 2019 1950s, event & history, inventions, science & technology
Channel surfing was born more than six decades ago. The first TV remote control, called the "Lazy Bones," was developed in 1950 by Zenith (then known as Zenith Radio Corporation and now a wholly owned subsidiary of LG Electronics USA).
The Lazy Bones used a cable that ran from the TV set to the viewer. A motor in the TV set operated the tuner through the remote control. By pushing buttons on the remote control, viewers rotated the tuner clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on whether they wanted to change the channel to a higher or lower number. The remote control included buttons that turned the TV on and off.
The Flash-Matic by Zenith.
The toy-like Flash-Matic by Zenith was the industry's first wireless TV remote, and ran off of two C batteries.
Although customers liked having remote control of their television, they complained that people tripped over the unsightly cable that meandered across the living room floor.
Zenith engineer Eugene J. Polley invented the "Flash-Matic," which represented the industry's first wireless TV remote. Introduced in 1955, Flash-Matic operated by means of four photo cells, one in each corner of the TV screen.
This diagram from the user guide for a 1955 Zenith shows the points of contact for the light beam. The upper left corner controls the counterclockwise channel selector, the upper right controls the clockwise channel selector, the lower right is the picture on/off, and the lower right turns the sound on and off.
The front cover of the official operators guide for the original 1955 Zenith, which shipped with the Flash-Matic.
"Simply aim the beam of light from the Flash-Gun into the 'slot' or window on the television escutcheon containing the control to be operated."
The operator's guide tells how you can change channels clockwise or counter clockwise by aiming the Flash-Matic light gun at the photo receptors.
The viewer used a highly directional flashlight to activate the four control functions, which turned the picture and sound on and off and changed channels by turning the tuner dial clockwise and counter-clockwise.
Flash-Matic pioneered the concept of wireless TV remote control, although it had some limitations. It was a simple device that had no protection circuits and, if the TV sat in an area in which the sun shone directly on it, the tuner might start rotating.
This advertisement is for the 1955 Zenith Flash-Matic Tuning, the first wireless remote. Touting the ability to turn off "annoying commercials" with the the futuristic beam of light, Zenith's ad says "You have to see it to believe it!"
This photo illustration ad for the Flash-Matic remote control, designed by Eugene Polley, shows the beam of light and the photo receptors in the corners of the television.
The first set sold with wireless remote control.
The improved "Zenith Space Command" remote control went into commercial production in 1956. This time, Zenith engineer Robert Adler (1913–2007) designed the Space Command based on ultrasonics. Ultrasonic remote controls remained the dominant design for the next 25 years, and, as the name suggests, they worked using ultrasound waves.
The Space Command transmitter used no batteries. Inside the transmitter were four lightweight aluminum rods that emitted high-frequency sounds when struck at one end. Each rod was a different length to create a different sound that controlled a receiver unit built into the television.
The "Space Command" system used aluminum rods, similar to tuning forks, which were struck by hammers toggled by the buttons on the device, producing high-frequency tones that would then control functions on the television set. By the 1960s, Zenith remotes began using ultrasonic signals, a technology which was used for the next 25 years, until being replaced by infrared systems capable of more complex commands.
The first Space Command units were quite expensive for the consumer, because the device used six vacuum tubes in the receiver units that raised the price of a television by 30%. In the early 1960s, after the invention of the transistor, remote controls decreased in price and in size, as did all electronics. Zenith modified the Space Command remote control using the new benefits of transistor technology (and still using ultrasonics), creating small hand-held and battery-operated remote controls. Over nine million ultrasonic remote controls were sold.
Infrared devices replaced ultrasonic remote controls in the early 1980s.
the knobs on the tv look like eyes.
THINGS USED TO LOOK BETTER IN THE PAST (SORRY FOR CAPS, I'M PARTIALLY SIGHTED). AS A CHILD LIVING IN THE REMOTE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS WE HAD ONE OF THE FIRST COLOUR TVS BACK IN THE SEVENTIES. IT CAME IN A HUGE WOODEN CABINET AND TOOK FOUR MEN TO CARRY IT INTO THE LIVINGROOM AND PLACE IT IN THE CORNER WHERE IT STAYED TIL IT DIED, MANY YEARS LATER (THINGS ALSO USED TO LAST LONGER!) AND THE FIRST SHOW I WATCHED ON IT WAS STAR TREK. INSTRUCTIONS ALSO WERE EASIER TO FOLLOW. I SAY THIS HAVING JUST PUT UP A NEW GREENHOUSE AND A BIKE TRAILER, BOTH OF WHOM HAD INCOMPREHENSIBLE INSTRUCTIONS, NONE OF THE PICTURES MATCHED THE ACTUAL PRODUCTS AND I PUT BOTH TOGETHER BY GUESSING...YES, I'M OLD, AND YES, I MISS THE GOOD OLD DAYS. AND NO, I'M NOT ASHAMED OF IT.

X Factor 2016: Dermot O'Leary is back!
by CelebMix March 29, 2016, 1:21 am
Dermot O'Leary has been confirmed as the host of the upcoming 13th series of X Factor, after much speculation.
Dermot had previously hosted the show for eight series, during which time the show discovered acts like One Direction, Little Mix and Ella Henderson, who all went on to have worldwide success.
O'Leary, who moved on to present Children in Need in Terry Wogan's absence last year and new BBC show The Getaway Car, was replaced by previous Xtra Factor hosts Caroline Flack and Olly Murs for the shows 12th series, both of whom lasted only one series before Dermot was asked back, after a string of technical difficulties and embarrassing blunders at the live shows left some viewers criticising their hosting abilities. Though Simon Cowell later spoke out in defence of TV presenter Caroline and X Factor alumni Olly, it is rumoured that the producers later gave the pair the chance to quit the show before they were fired, the same deal it was rumoured they had given to O'Leary just one year previously.
Dermot's return to the job marks his 9th non-consecutive year as host.
We're thrilled to announce that @radioleary returns as host of The X Factor alongside the return of room auditions! https://t.co/SJxc54EVVo
— The X Factor (@TheXFactor) March 28, 2016
In the same Tweet that the official X Factor Twitter announced O'Leary's triumphant return, they also confirmed the return of the room auditions, replacing the arena auditions that made their own return last year.
Basically, it seems like every major change the show made last year is being reverted! Especially with rumours that Louis Walsh could return to the seat he held for 11 years at the end of the panel, which was recently vacated by last years new arrival Nick Grimshaw. Grimshaw, along with fellow panellist and friend Rita Ora, were also subject to criticism, and whilst Grimshaw has already confirmed he will not return, it is not yet clear whether Rita will follow him or not.
Confirming Dermot O'Leary as host means all eyes turn now to the panel; with Louis Tomlinson, who was long expected to join the panel once One Direction went on hiatus, rumoured to have now sensationally turned the job down, his bandmate Liam Payne is the newest name supposedly being courted to fill Grimshaw's vacant seat, which could possibly see him sharing a panel with his current girlfriend Cheryl.

Cup final win over Rangers is my best ever for Celtic, says Callum McGregor
By Graeme McGarry @Graeme_McGarry Senior Sports Writer
Callum McGregor joins Scott Brown as they celebrate Celtic's hard-fought victory over Rangers in the Betfred Cup final.
CALLUM MCGREGOR says that Sunday's scrappy win over Rangers in the Betfred Cup final is his best victory in an Old Firm derby to date.
The midfielder has certainly been involved in better performances against Rangers than the one Celtic put in as they scrapped their way to glory at Hampden, but in terms of the magnitude of the win, he says hasn't been involved in any greater.
The free-flowing passing game that Celtic are renowned for and the style that McGregor thrives under was nowhere to be seen at the national stadium, but while the manner of the victory may well have been more about attrition than attractive football, it made it all the sweeter according to the Scotland midfielder.
He is hoping too that the sickening disappointment felt by rivals Rangers lingers, and can possibly have a lasting impact throughout the season ahead after throwing everything at Celtic and still coming up short.
McGregor said: "I think that's the top one, in terms of pure endeavour to win the game, will to win, the boys sticking together, the big man (Fraser Forster) making some huge saves – and obviously there being a trophy on the line.
"All these other games, it's been three points, the league has maybe been tight. But on Sunday we knew the pressure was massive on us. We had to keep this run going.
"Because Rangers hadn't won a trophy for so long, it meant so much to them. But I think all the pressure was on us. We had to stop them winning.
"Rangers probably couldn't play much better than they did against us at Hampden. And we've somehow managed to win the game."
Celtic manager Neil Lennon will rest several of his key men for Thursday's Europa League game against Cluj, with the Scottish champions having already secured top spot in their qualification group.
But he says that whoever does take to the field in Romania will be well up for the contest.
"I think we'll have enough in the tank," he said. "It was a big performance at Hampden but we'll have had a few days to recover.
"It's that old psychological thing, when you're winning, you don't feel tired.
"That's 12 wins in a row in all competitions."

Saffron Burrows (Mozart in the Jungle, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) has been promoted to series regular from recurring, and Dylan Arnold (Halloween, Nashville) and Tati Gabrielle (Uncharted, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) also are set as new series regulars on the upcoming third season of the Netflix series You. Additionally, Michaela McManus (The Village, Aquarius), Shannon Chan-Kent (Good Trouble, Another Life), Ben Mehl (The Good Wife), Chris O'Shea (Madam Secretary), Christopher Sean (Days of Our Lives, Hawaii Five-0), Bryan Safi (9-1-1, Desperados), Mackenzie Astin (Homeland, The Loudest Voice), Ayelet Zurer (Angels & Demons, Daredevil) and Jack Fisher (NCIS, Agents of Shield) have been tapped for recurring roles in the series headlined by Penn Badgley and Victoria Pedretti.
Arnold plays Theo, a college student with a strained and complicated relationship with his stepfather. Theo is wise and perceptive, but vulnerable and troubled, with a propensity to get tangled up in his loved ones' problems and to drown his own in controlled substances and dangerous behavior.
Gabrielle portrays Marienne, a smart, no-nonsense librarian who doesn't let much get by her. Marienne is a keen observer of the neighborhood's denizens, too savvy in the ways of the real world to be taken in by patrons' privilege and oblivious entitlement.

McManus recurs as Natalie, Joe's next door neighbor and subject of his growing fascination.
Married to a powerful man, Natalie is a professional and social success. But she sees through the shallow, Stepford-esque vibe that surrounds her, and beneath her wry exterior, she leads a secret life. One that Joe is willing to work hard to learn more about.
Chan-Kent plays Kiki, a devoted member of Sherry's cliquish "mean girl" friend group. Kiki is a wife, mother and life coach who enjoys a life of entitlement, frequenting mid-day fitness classes and enjoying lengthy gossip sessions at the local cafe.

Sean is Brandon. Kiki's husband, who struck it rich in his mid 20's as a tech investor, is now a stay-at-home dad for his kids.
Safi plays Jackson. Andrew's wry husband; they have an enviable, loving marriage. Despite Jackson's high-powered job as a tech attorney, he's managed to stay humble.
Astin is Gil. A mild-mannered geology professor is thoughtful, friendly, and genuinely good-hearted if a bit vanilla and naive.
Zurer plays Dr. Chandra. A chic, brusque, but extremely seasoned couple's therapist who has every intention of getting to the bottom of her patients' issues.

USA to lift the omicron-linked travel ban against southern Africa
WASHINGTON (AP), The White House announced Friday that the U.S. would lift travel restrictions in eight countries of southern Africa. These travel restrictions were imposed to stop the spread COVID omicron variant.
24 December 2021 Friday 21:37
Scientists first discovered the variant in South Africa. It has since been spread to other parts of the globe. Leaders in South Africa and the World Health Organization criticized the ban on travel as unfairly damaging to local economies and ineffective.
Nearly all non-U.S. citizens were prohibited from entering South Africa, Botswana and Eswatini, Namibia or Lesotho. The restrictions will be lifted at midnight on New Year's Eve.
Kevin Munoz, White House spokesperson, stated on Twitter that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended the decision. Munoz stated that temporary travel bans allowed scientists to take the time necessary to study the new variant of the virus and determine if current vaccines work in reducing its impact.
Omicron is spreading quickly throughout the U.S.A, even among those who have been vaccinated. However, a large majority of those being admitted are not vaccinated.
Munoz tweeted, "The restrictions allowed us to understand Omicron. We know our existing vaccines against Omicron work esp boosted."
Scientists are still not sure much about the omicron variant of coronavirus. However, scientists believe that omicron spreads faster than any other coronavirus strains including delta. According to the government, 73% of all new infections in the country are caused by the omicron variant. Although breakthrough infections in vaccinated individuals have become more common, they are rare and rarely cause serious illness or hospitalization.
Due to the rapid rise of omicron and more people staying indoors in winter, there has been a significant increase in infection. According to Johns Hopkins University data, the seven-day average number of U.S. COVID-19 infections rose to more than 160,000 in this week's rolling average. This is more than twice the average for late November.
Although the rapid spread of this new variant has not yet overwhelmed many domestic hospitals, it has disrupted businesses, sports leagues, and Christmas travel plans across the nation. Numerous games in the NBA and NFL have had to be rescheduled because of COVID outbreaks. The Hawaii Bowl was also cancelled after Hawaii withdrew. Three major airlines cancelled numerous domestic and international flights due to staff shortages.

Germany should aim to be a leader in hydrogen technology - minister
Published Wed, Oct 9 2019 12:36 PM EDT
ShareA Facebook iconShare by facebookA Twitter iconShare by twitterA LinkedIn iconShare by linkedinAn email iconShare by email
* Germany aims to cut carbon emissions by 55% by 2030
* Berlin set to miss 2020 target for emission cuts
* Hydrogen as a commercial fuel faces challenges
FRANKFURT, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Germany should aim to be a leader in technologies needed to make and utilize hydrogen, which offers a green alternative to fossil fuels in the shift towards a low carbon economy, the economy minister said on Wednesday.
The government has been pushing renewables and other technologies to help cut Germany's carbon emissions by 55% of their 1990 level by 2030 and by 80% to 95% by 2050. But it is already set to miss a target of a 40% cut in emissions by 2020.
"We have to set the course so that Germany becomes the No. 1 in the world in hydrogen technologies," Economy Minister Peter Altmaier said in a statement.
"Now is the time for hydrogen and the technologies that are necessary for it," he said after a meeting in Berlin to discuss Germany's 2030 targets and its strategy for hydrogen usage.
Hydrogen gas has long been viewed as a potential alternative to fossil fuels because it emits water when it burns in oxygen rather than CO2, the greenhouse gas that coal, oil and natural gas emit.
But there are challenges to using hydrogen. Although the gas can be produced from water by electrolysis, this requires large amounts of electricity which Germany mostly generates from fossil fuels, although Berlin is expanding sources.
Germany aims to use more natural gas, which produces less greenhouse gas emissions than coal or oil, as a transition fuel in the shift towards a low carbon economy.
Existing infrastructure for natural gas, such as pipelines and storage tanks, could also be used for hydrogen, if the fuel became available in commercial quantities, analysts say.
Pipeline operators have said the German network could be slowly adjusted so that it carries 10% hydrogen and 90% natural gas by 2030, rising to 20% to 30% hydrogen in the longer term, helping reduce emissions from gas combustion.
Germany has pilot projects to test ways to produce hydrogen from water using electrolysis but these are not yet commercially viable. Major industries have also been working on projects that could use hydrogen as fuel in manufacturing.
To encourage hydrogen usage, the Economy Ministry has proposed creating European and international certification for hydrogen technologies, exploring ways to market those technologies and seeking partner countries. (Reporting by Vera Eckert; Editing by Edmund Blair)

Yuletide past in Hackney
By Hackney Citizen | Thursday 23 December 2010 at 14:00
Hoxton Christian Mission c1950s. Photo courtesy of Hackney Archives
The commercialisation of Christmas has become a cliché. It is a common lament that the yuletide season is a smorgasbord of shopping, spending and over-indulgence, which belies the true values on which it is based.
But what was that idyllic, less-commoditised Christmas really like, and more importantly for us, how did Hackney mark the festival in times gone by?
Let's go back to the original story for some clues. Born one night when his unwed mother and her boyfriend were sleeping rough, a young baby received unexpected attention from three dignitaries who presented him with obscure gifts. Things went downhill when his family was obliged to flee to Egypt to escape persecution. Jesus eventually returned to his homeland and became very popular, before getting into trouble with the authorities. This time there was no escape – but at least people would remember him after his death.
Eventually, they began to celebrate his first as well as his final hours. Christmas was invented in the 4th century AD by Pope Julius I, who decided Jesus's birth would be celebrated on 25 December (although historical records suggest he was born in the spring). This new timing was designed mainly so it would displace the bawdy Roman pagan celebration of Saturnalia (17 December), though over the years the festival has absorbed many rituals associated with the winter solstice.
Christmas carols, also dating back to the 4th century, are one of the oldest surviving seasonal traditions. After falling into disuse during the Middle Ages, they were revived by Francis of Assisi in the 13th century. They were first sung in English around 200 years later, and most of those we sing today date to the 19th century, though the tunes of some – such as Good King Wenceslas – are far older. Before Christmas carols began to be sung in church from the 1880s, they were more often enjoyed in the family home.
A related tradition is mumming or wassailing – going from house to house singing carols, often in the expectation that food and drink will be given in return. This practice can supposedly be traced to pagan traditions and this, together with the fact that it was often indulged in by rowdy groups of young men, prompted Oliver Cromwell to ban the celebration of Christmas in 1645.
Yet Christmas has always been about much more than raucous revelry. The underlying theme has from the start been giving. An obvious manifestation of this is Christmas presents – probably symbolising the gold, frankincense and myrrh given to Jesus by the wise men. Only recently has the exchange of presents among friends and family assumed a central role in seasonal celebrations. In earlier times, giving to the poor was the dominant form of generosity.
Christmas was a time when the less-well-off could expect to live a little better for a few days, thanks to left-overs and hand-me-downs from their more prosperous neighbours. In the Middle Ages, churches would open alms boxes on Boxing Day and distribute their contents to the needy. This was also the traditional time when uneaten Christmas food was given from rich to poor.
Hackney's notables not uncommonly left money in their will for this purpose. Thomas Vyner, who died in 1666, had made arrangements for money to be given to the poor at Christmas after his death – as well as bread every Sunday. Even coal, every child's dreaded stocking-filler, was a welcome gift for many in December. In the mid-1700s Thomas Cooke, a Bank of England director (not to be confused with the travel agent), built a house on Stoke Newington Common to house eight poor families of the neighbourhood. After he died in 1752, Cooke's heirs maintained the building for this purpose, providing the families with free housing together with three guineas a year, and coal at Christmas.
Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, published in 1843, reinforced the message of charity and goodwill towards men, and it was in the 19th century that many of our other Christmas traditions began to take shape.
In 1840 the first 'Penny Post' public postal deliveries were launched. Taking advantage of the opportunity this represented, an entrepreneurial civil servant called Henry Cole and his artist friend John Horsley designed, printed and sold the first professionally-produced Christmas cards in 1843 for a shilling apiece.
Then in 1848, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert displayed a Christmas tree for the first time outside Windsor Castle in Berkshire, after which Christmas trees became fashionable household adornments.
Hackney has a principal role in another of Christmas's great tradition – the pantomime, which began in London in 1944 as relief from the Second World War. The panto at the Hackney Empire in Mare Street became one of the most famous in the UK.
And finally, festive home decoration and revelry has for centuries been a key ingredient of Christmas celebrations. Over the generations, glitter and sparkle have gradually replaced the more natural bay leaves, mistletoe and holly, but many of the same themes remain – houses decked with festive ornaments, copious amounts of food and drink and plenty of entertaining. Until 5 January 2011, you can see how the British have decorated their homes for Christmas from the 1600s to the 1950s at the Geffrye Museum on Kingsland Road.
So what has really changed? In recent times, the practice of distributing goods and cash to the less-fortunate members of our community has largely fallen into disuse as national charities and television appeals have gained prominence. But for those who yearn for a more traditional way of keeping the spirit alive this December, there are plenty of opportunities to support Hackney's charities and buy locally-made crafts.

Q: iOS Parse validating user I want to write code in AppDelegate.m that checks if PFUser.currentUser credentials are still valid. The reason I am doing this is for this scenario. Assume user logged in successfully and now currentUser has the basic information of that user. If the user changes the password at some time, when application launch, it should check if those credentials are up to date or not. If email & password doesn't match the one in table, it should log the user out.
I tried to do this but apparently PFUser.currentUser.password is always set to null while PFUser.currentUser.email has the actual value of email used to log in. How can I achieve this validation without the password being accessible?
Here is the code I have for guidance:
PFQuery *query = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:@"User"];
[query whereKey:@"objectId" equalTo: PFUser.currentUser.objectId];
[query whereKey:@"password" equalTo: PFUser.currentUser.password];
[query getFirstObjectInBackgroundWithBlock:^(PFObject *object, NSError *error) {

        if (!object) {
            /*Credentials changed! Logout user and request login again*/
            NSLog(@"Credentials Changed!");
            [PFUser logOut];
            [[[navigationController viewControllers] objectAtIndex:0] performSegueWithIdentifier:@"loginSegue" sender:self];
        }
        else {
            /*Credentials are still valid..proceed!*/
            NSLog(@"Credentials Correct!");
            [[[navigationController viewControllers] objectAtIndex:0] performSegueWithIdentifier:@"skipLoginSegue" sender:self];
        }
    }];

When this failed I tried to NSLog the password and got null so I understood that this was the problem.

A: I would write a cloud code function using the master key: Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey();
When you include this in your function you will be able to access/check the user's password and send back a "verified" variable or something of that sort.
Here is my cloud code function to modify a user, but you can easily modify it to verify a user's info. There are also many answers on the parse forums on this as well as lots of info in the docs.
Parse.Cloud.define("editUser", function(request, response) {
  //var GameScore = Parse.Object.extend("SchoolHappening");
  // Create a new instance of that class.
  //var gameScore = new GameScore();
Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey();

  var query = new Parse.Query(Parse.User);
query.get(request.params.myUser, {
  success: function(myUser) {
    // The object was retrieved successfully.
    myUser.set("cabinetPosition", request.params.myPosition);
    // Save the user.
      myUser.save(null, {
        success: function(myUser) {
          // The user was saved successfully.
          response.success("Successfully updated user.");
        },
        error: function(gameScore, error) {
          // The save failed.
          // error is a Parse.Error with an error code and description.
          response.error("Could not save changes to user.");
        }
      });

  },
  error: function(object, error) {
    // The object was not retrieved successfully.
    // error is a Parse.Error with an error code and description.
  }
});

});

A: If you want to verify your current password, you can store your password locally, then use loginWithUsernameInBackground: to verify. Something like,
[PFUser logInWithUsernameInBackground:[PFUser currentUser].username
                             password:password
                                block:^(PFUser *user, NSError *error) {
}];

Wheeler Criticizes Pai FCC for not Upgrading WEAs
In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, Former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has criticized the FCC for not adopting additional upgrades to wireless emergency alerts (WEAs). In a blog posting, Mr. Wheeler, a visiting fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution, cited WEA improvements that the FCC adopted in 2016 (TR Daily, Sept. 29, 2016).
The order required carriers to support URLs and phone numbers in all WEAs within one year of the rules being published. Also, Commissioners added to the order a commitment to require in the future a device-based geo-targeting approach, which can allow WEAs to be more accurately targeted rather than the current framework that relies on the nearest cellphone tower. The order also increased the length of WEAs from 90 to 360 characters; created a new class of alerts called public safety messages to convey urgent messages such as the locations of emergency shelters or boil-water messages; required carriers to support alerts in Spanish; required carriers to maintain alert logs that have to be made available upon request; and facilitated state and local testing of WEAs, personnel training, and public safety awareness.
A further notice of proposed rulemaking proposed requiring carriers to support multimedia content in public safety messages and sought views on necessary technical parameters and a compliance timeline. The further notice also proposed requiring WEA-capable devices to preserve alerts until they expire and requiring carriers to deliver earthquake-related alerts in less than three seconds. And it solicited views on whether WEAs could be employed to encourage crowdsourced feedback from the community during emergencies, whether additional languages should be required, and how 5G technology could further enhance alerts. The further notice also proposed requiring carriers to report each year on critical WEA performance metrics.
In his blog posting, Mr. Wheeler noted that Harris County, Texas, which includes Houston, was one of the public safety agencies to urge the FCC to adopt the additional WEA upgrades and he noted the wireless industry's concerns with the additional changes and suggested that Mr. Pai should move ahead with the changes. A number of parties have met with FCC staff on WEA issues in recent weeks at the request of the FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau.
"The Trump FCC talks a great deal of the importance of cost-benefit analysis to its decisions. The September 2016 proposal showed the public benefits outweighed whatever costs there were for mobile carriers," Mr. Wheeler said. "As Harris County's letter pointed out, ignoring public safety's recommendations in favor of undue sensitivity to the costs that might be imposed on mobile carriers puts American citizens at risk precisely when they are most vulnerable. This isn't some abstract ideological principle, but something that threatens lives. With Harvey recovery estimated to cost tens of billions of dollars, and with even one loss of life too many, the cost-benefit case for the proposed improvements to Wireless Emergency Alerts is clear."
CTIA says that more than 300 WEAs were sent by the National Weather Service and local authorities concerning Hurricane Harvey. —Paul Kirby, paul.kirby@wolterskluwer.com

Trump issues stern warning to Iran after Revolutionary Guard seized TWO British tankers in the Persian Gulf as major tensions escalate between Tehran and Washington
Doctor performs 'surgery' on fruits by dissecting and stitching up cherries, grapefruits and mangoes to teach the public about the medical procedure
Wang Yexiao, 32, is a surgeon at a hospital in north China's Heilongjiang region
The doctor first made the 'fruit operation' clips to entertain his two-year-old son
The videos went viral online, prompting him to expand his target audience
He hopes the clips would improve relationships between patient and doctors
By Kelsey Cheng For Mailonline
A Chinese surgeon has become the latest internet celebrity for posting videos of himself 'operating' on pieces of fruit.
Dubbed the 'fruit surgeon', 32-year-old Wang Yexiao from Hegang, north China's Heilongjiang province first shot the videos to entertain his two-year-old son, but then saw an opportunity to expand his target audience after the clips went viral.
Now, Dr Wang is using the fruit surgery videos to teach the general public how the most common medical procedures are usually carried out, such as caesarean sections and appendectomies.
Wang Yexiao, 32, from Hegang, north China's Heilongjiang province films himself operating on a cherry (left) and a piece of pink grapefruit. He first shot the clips to entertain his two-year-old son, but then saw an opportunity to expand his target audience after the clips went viral
Now, Dr Wang is using the videos to teach the public how the most common medical procedures are usually performed, such as caesarean sections and appendectomies (above)

Since posting his first video - removing the seed from a grape by 'c-section' - on short video app Kuaishou, the 'fruit doctor' has gained more than 100,000 followers. The clip of his grape patient drew nearly three million views.
One video shows Dr Wang carefully using a scalpel to cut open a mango before removing an 'irregular lump' from it. Another clip shows him removing four 'kidney stones' from a piece of pink grapefruit.
'Mango, male, complained of acute pain in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen and is diagnosed with appendicitis,' Dr Wang wrote under one of the videos, which shows the doctor skilfully applying 'anaesthesia' before removing the 'inflamed appendix' and stitching up his fruit patient.
Dr Wang Yexiao said he thinks it's important for the general public to have a basic understanding on how the most common operations are done in hostpitals

Dr Wang's other patients include a piece of jackfruit, a cherry, a peach, a banana and a lotus root.
'I've decided to use fruits as my patients because their colours would probably appeal to a wider audience, especially children,' said Dr Wang, who works as a surgeon at the Hegang People's Hospital.
He told Beijing News that it's important for the general public to have a basic understanding on how common operations are done.
'Nowadays, a lot of patients don't seem to have a lot of trust in doctors as they believe these medical procedures are complicated and mysterious,' he said.
'I hope the videos would improve relationships between patient and doctors,' adding that each clip would take him and his wife about three to four hours to make.
Besides mangoes, Dr Wang's other patients include a peach, a banana and a lotus root
His patient also included a piece of jackfruit which he removed the pit from
Videos of the delicate operations quickly went viral on Chinese microblogging site Weibo, with a trending topic page 'operating on fruits' gathering more than 260 million views.
Many net users have been naming their favourite fruit to become Dr Wang's next patient, with many challenging him to operate on a tiny sesame seed.
'Would you be able to operate on a sesame seed patient?' one typical comment asked.
'This looks exactly like the appendectomy I had! Impressive!' another user said.
'Such a skilful and patient doctor,' one user praised. 'If it were for me, I might just put the piece of fruit out of its misery by eating it!'

The length is good, I like the sleek lines and the flow of the jacket gives it a very classic, polished silhouette. Generally speaking, short sleeves provide a less formal look in the office so the jacket is a nice touch.

As the article below shows, their are major problems with the court appointed attorney system in Michigan. While I am sympathetic to those who truly can't afford an attorney, many people are given a court appointed attorney even when they have good jobs and should have assets to pay for one. They are just being cheap. I have many clients who are on disability or even unemployed who can still pay. Why can't families help out? The bigger problem is that we don't have a set definition "indigent" and we don't have a culture that wants people to take responsibly for their own lives.
Their are no government appointed mechanics to fix your car or sell your house. We don't expect the government to mow our lawns or buy or clothes. Yet me expect the same government that is spending astronomical amounts of money to prosecutor, convict and house a person to also pay to defend them? The conflict of interest alone should raise some eyebrows.
You get what you pay for. Like it or not, that is the reality.

Kelly 'Buzzing' To Get Pre-Season Campaign Underway
Oldham Athletic face Chester FC on Saturday in the first pre-season friendly this season and it also signals Darren Kelly's first game in charge of the club.
The manager, who was appointed manager in early May, has had to wait over two months for his first game in charge of the club and he is itching to get going.
He said: "The adrenaline is pumping through the veins and I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to seeing the players in action. We have done a bit of shape work today and there has been lot of hard work put in but it's something the players have already bought into and that's key going forward.
"There is a bit of rustiness in there but that is to be expected. This is the first 11 v 11 match but the main thing is geared towards August 8. We need to make sure everything is out of the system and we are ready to go."
Asked whether he has a team picked in his head for Saturday's game, Kelly replied: "I do. I don't want people to read anything into it because I just want to find the balance.
"We have a lot of players in, that includes trialists, signed players, so it doesn't mean the first 11 [on Saturday] is going to be my first 11 [against Walsall]. The players have come back and they have really put it in in training and what I want on August 8 is a headache to pick the side.
"The way the players have responded to everything we have set, they have been first class in doing that."
With the friendlies about to start, the manager believes keeping the squad injury-free will breed confidence going forward.
"We have been quite strategic in planning pre-season. It's a gradual build up and we've worked very hard. We've had no injuries in pre-season and hopefully that continues," he said.
"I want a headache picking the side on August 8, I don't want a headache because we have injured players so it's a matter of what we are doing and how we are doing it. We need them to be in full health come the start of the season."

Customer case stories highlighting customer and partner success with DocShifter products and solutions.
DocShifter is a valuable element of solutions in healthcare environments. At AZ Alma, standard operating procedures undergo a thorough review process using standardized Word(TM) documents. Upon completing the approval cycle, DocShifter takes over and finishes the document for publication, injecting metadata, adding information on overlays and finally publishing to pdf format.
Turkish Aerospace is the main technology center in design and development of aerospace systems in Turkey. Turkish Aerospace products range from aircrafts to satellites and the organization itself is one of the most innovative technology machinery and equipment producers in the world.
Turkish Aerospace implemented DocShifter in 2017 and is using the platform ever since to automate their digital documentation process.
DocShifter has been set up for several large insurance companies to pre-process incoming mail. Incoming mail is retrieved by DocShifter, which creates an XML file that describes the content of the email, the content of the attachments and the actions performed on the attachments. In addition to this, DocShifter converts all files to the allowed formats for capture and recognition software. Also exceptions such as inline attachments, mail in mail and protected files are treated so all communication can be handled appropriately.
An online portal was set up by a public service, to allow people to submit their documents online. As documents started arriving in many formats and extensions, DocShifter was invoked to convert all files to PDF. This way it is possible to consult and treat all documents in a uniform way.
DocShifter has been implemented in several hospitals using the Electronic Patient Archive. For medical records, text, photos, videos, lab reports and letters, archived in the Electronic Patient Archive, DocShifter was invoked to convert all files to a thumbnail and web-viewable format. This way, all archived files are presented with a preview interface in the Electronic Patient Archive.
For a large construction company that archives records via mail, DocShifter has been set up for making all emails and their attachments searchable. All text of mails and their according attachments were retrieved using OCR and text extraction. For every mail, all text was gathered in one separate text document. This file was added as a rendition to each mail. This way, the search engine shows the complete mail as a result.
DocShifter has been implemented in several hospitals to provide a connection between an enterprise service bus and Documentum. Documents, originating from different applications and with different formats, go through the enterprise service bus and are at this stage converted to PDF format by DocShifter. The PDF versions are then archived in Documentum.
Your DocShifter story is yet to be written.
Then let's set up a meeting to talk about an efficient solution!

Q: The modal verbs "may/might" in interrogations about the future possibility I am trying to find equivalents for the question "Is it possible that there would be no English lesson tomorrow?" using modals may/might.
I have brought out the following patterns that, I am not sure, convey the same meaning as my question does:

*

*May it be no English lesson tomorrow?

*Might it be no English lesson tomorrow?

*May no English lesson be tomorrow?

*Might no English lesson be tomorrow?

*May there be no English lesson tomorrow?

*Might there be no English lesson tomorrow?

Which of them are possible to be put in instead of "Is it possible that there would be no English lesson tomorrow?"?
And what differences of sense tints do they have?

A: To express future uncertainty, use "might".  It avoids all ambiguity with the sense of "may" meaning "permission".
Since you are asking about the existence of the English class, you should use "Might there be..."
But none of the expressions are particularly idiomatic.  It would be much better to say

Might the English class be cancelled?

or, since anything in the future is understood to be uncertain to some extent.

Will there be no English class?  Will the English class be cancelled?

That is probably better, in this context, than using "might".

Q: PHP Relative paths like ASP This works
<?php include("inc/c.php")?>

But in a folder past this, this does not work
<?php include("../inc/c.php")?>

I have to do
<?php include("/var/web/public_html/etc/inc/c.php")?>

I know in ASP you can enable virtual paths and directories. Is this the same with PHP?

A: If you're including a file from a folder, all includes are relative to the includer's file.
Therefore, the same code should work for the file in the sub-folder:
<?php include("inc/c.php")?>

A: You can use realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) to include files relatively to current file:
include(realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../inc/c.php'));

A: You can add directories to PHP's include_path directory. When you specify a relative file name, PHP will look for that file relative to all directories specified in the include_path.
Take a look at http://php.net/manual/en/function.set-include-path.php#example-488.

A: use
dirname(__file__)

it will return you path of current directory.

A:
But in a folder past this, this does not work

Nope, it does work.

I know in ASP you can enable virtual paths and directories. Is this the same with PHP?

Yes. But whole virtual path thing has nothing to do with your case.
This is not PHP problem. This is developer's problem who is using wrong path.
To make your code fool-proof, always use absolute paths. Build paths not from current location but from the site root. So, it will be all the same in the ANY page on your site.
Most general way would be
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/etc/inc/c.php";
