Luther George Simjian
Automatic Teller Machine (ATM)
Luther George Simjian (1905-1997) was a lifelong inventor whose inventions include the self-focusing camera, a flight speed indicator for airplanes, an automatic postage metering machine, and the teleprompter. However, he is perhaps most famous for his invention of the Bankmatic automatic teller machine (ATM).
Simjian was born in Turkey on January 28, 1905. As a young child he developed a keen interest in optics and photography. After World War I he was separated from his family. He fled to Beirut, then on to Marseille, and eventually to the United States. At age 15 he arrived in the U.S. alone, and went to New Haven, Connecticut, where he stayed with relatives and found self-sufficiency through a job with a photographer.
Simjian originally intended to study medicine, but changed his mind after the medical school at Yale gave him a job in its photographic laboratory. In 1928 he was named director of the photography department at the medical school, and he soon developed way of projecting microscopic images and photographing specimens under water. In 1934 Simjian moved to New York, where he developed a color X-ray machine and a self-posing portrait camera, allowing the subject to look into a mirror and see exactly the picture that was about to be taken.
Soon after, Simjian established a company to license and manufacture the camera for use in department store studios. He eventually sold the camera and rights to the Photoreflex name. However, he renamed the company he had started to Reflectone and continued to explore developments in optics, electro-mechanical devices, and the new field of electronics.
When Simjian initially came up with the idea of creating a hole-in-the-wall machine that would allow customers to make financial transactions, the idea was met with a great deal of skepticism. Starting in 1939, Simjian registered 20 patents related to the device and persuaded what is now Citicorp to give it a trial. After six months, the bank reported that there was little demand. "It seems the only people using the machines were a small number of prostitutes and gamblers who didn't want to deal with tellers face to face," wrote Simjian. Later, of course, the idea caught on, and today, modern versions of the automatic teller machine stand on nearly every street corner.
Despite the notoriety that came with his ATM concept, Simjian's most important invention of the era during World War II was his Range Estimation Trainer, designed to improve the methods used to train Allied pilots. Using a miniature airplane, synchronized moving mirrors, and controlled lighting, he built a device that would allow an instructor to remotely vary speed, lighting, and angles. This simulator could be used to train aviators in identifying types of aircraft and determining their distance and speed. The U.S. Navy was very interested in these devices; Reflectone sold more than 2000 trainers, which were used all over the country.
Simjian remained President and Chairman of Reflectone for 22 years, until the company merged with Universal Match Corp. in 1961. It was sold again in 1996 to British Aerospace. Meanwhile Simjian formed two other companies, General Research and Command Automation, to help to capitalize on his other inventions, which included a remote-controlled postage meter, a meat tenderizer and an ultrasound device for use in hospitals. He also patented an indoor golf practice range, using an analog computer to project the "flight" of the ball.
Toward the end of his life Simjian built a small research and development lab in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and continued inventing until his death on October 23, 1997.
Simjian was issued his last patent in March of 2000. He received a patent for a process to improve the resonance of wood used for musical instruments.

Mexico has one of the most varied cuisines in the world, which has transformed over thousands of years, influenced by its indigenous cultures and eventually Europe and other countries beginning in the 15th century. Hunting, fishing and agriculture provided nutrients in the diets of early Mexicans. Foods such as corn (maize), squash, beans, tomatoes, chilies, cactus, amaranth and fruits were common foods eaten by early Mexicans. Corn, or maize, one of the modern world's major grain crops, was extremely important to many cultures in Mesoamerica. Maize's importance to the indigenous people's diet was emphasized by the many ways in which it could be prepared. When ground and added to liquid, it made a gruel called various names such as atole, pozole, or pinole. Corn was also made into a dough, and used in tortillas (thin griddle cakes), tamales (steamed corn husks with various fillings) and cooked into many other shapes. It could be used as a base for many other foods, such as tacos and enchiladas. Corn was also a nutritious food, and when eaten with beans and amaranth, corn offered protein levels comparable to that of animals.
In 1521, when Spanish conquistadores arrived in Tenochtitlan, the ancient Aztec capital and present day Mexico City, they discovered that the natives' diets were dominated by corn-based meals complimented with chilies, herbs, beans and tomatoes. The Spanish introduced livestock such as pigs, cows and sheep when they invaded Mexico. Dairy products, such as cheese, garlic and spices were also introduced, in addition to rice, wheat, barley, olive oil, wine and almonds. In return, the indigenous people introduced local foods such as peanuts, chocolate, vanilla, beans, avocado, corn, coconut, squash and tomatoes to the Spanish. All these foods would be prepared together in new ways to create a Mexican cuisine that would develop throughout the centuries.
Many traditional Mexican foods have roots in not only Spanish cultures but other cultures as well. France briefly occupied Mexico in the 1860s and introduced the country to their cooking methods and foods. New dishes such as Chiles En Nogado (chilies in a walnut sauce), were the result. A Mexican fusion cuisine has developed in recent years as immigrants from the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe have influenced culinary traditions in Mexico.
Due to Mexico's large size, climate and ethnic variances, Mexican food varies by region. Northern Mexico is known for its meat dishes, such as carne asada, translated as "grilled meat", which is thin beef steak. In the Yucatan in Southeastern Mexico, achiote seasoning and the use of sweetness instead spiciness is common in foods. The Oaxacan region in Southwestern Mexico is known for its tamales and moles (Mexican sauces). In the Southeast, spicy vegetables and chicken based dishes are popular and a Caribbean influence is often seen in their dishes. Seafood is popular along coastal areas, and ceviche (raw fish marinated in citrus juices) has been popular along the Mexican coast for centuries. Mexican street vendors offer tacos (corn tortillas folded or rolled around a filling), tortas (sandwich served on a crusty roll), quesadillas (tortillas filled with a savory mixture), tamales, ice cream, candy and drinks. Mexican inspired dishes are popular in the US, resulting in cuisine variations such as Tex-Mex cuisine. Chimichangas, deep-fried burritos and nachos are all Mexican inspired American dishes.
Chocolate in Mexico
Chocolate holds a prominent place in the history of Mexican cuisine. Chocolate was first consumed as a liquid instead of a solid. The Mayans cultivated cacao trees and used the seeds to make a bitter and frothy chocolate drink. Called xocoatl, the Mayans flavored it with vanilla, chili pepper and achiote, which was made into a paste from the slightly bitter, earthy flavored, red annatto seed. Cacao beans were so valued that they were even used as a currency in Mesoamerica. Chocolate was incorporated into many meals, from savory to sweet dishes. Today chocolate can be found in a wide array of Mexican foods from the sweet Mexican style hot chocolate to savory mole dishes.
Mexican Desserts & Beverages
Fruits, pudding, cakes, candy and flan are popular Mexican desserts. Typically, if a dessert is called "dulce", meaning sweet, it usually describes a pudding. There are many varieties of Mexican puddings such as coconut dulces, sweet potato dulces, pineapple dulces, banana and almond dulces. Many puddings add alcohol such as sherry or a sweet white wine. Introduced by the Spanish, Caramel Flan is a caramel custard. The caramel is cooked sugar that turns a golden color as it is cooked. Cinnamon Churros, similar to doughnuts, are cinnamon-sugar coated strips of fried dough. Tres Leches Cake is covered in strawberries and drizzled with a vanilla sauce made from three different milks, hence the name "Tres Leches", meaning three milks in Spanish. Empanadas are stuffed pastries that contain different sweetened fillings depending on the region. In some areas, empanadas are stuffed with meat. Fresh fruit is commonly sold by street vendors, on which many Mexicans sprinkle hot red chile powder prior to eating.
Atole de Fresca (strawberry soup) is a popular Mexican beverage thickened with corn tortilla flour. Considered a sweet dessert soup, this dessert is commonly made with pureed strawberries, buttermilk and vanilla. Coffee is usually served spicy and sweet, (café de olla), while sangria, imported from Spain, and beer (cerveza) are also popular beverages. Mexican laws state that tequila can be produced only in the state of Jalisco and limited regions of other states. Mexico has claimed exclusive international rights for use of the word "tequila".
Cheesemaking was unknown to Mesoamerica, prior to the arrival of Europeans. The Spanish brought livestock including cows, sheep and goats which permanently altered Mexicans diets. Europeans introduced cheesemaking, and regional variations gave rise to a number of varieties of Mexican cheese. Cheese is made in Mexico everywhere from the home, to farms and large dairy corporations. While it is estimated there are between 20 and 40 varieties of Mexican cheese today, some such as Oaxada and Panela are produced throughout the country, while others are only popular regionally.
Queso Blanco is semi-soft in texture and mild in flavor. Queso Blanco is a fresh cheese that holds its shape well when melted, making it ideal for dishes such as quesadillas and enchiladas.
Queso Quesadilla is a soft and mild white cheese that may be melted into many hot dishes, such as quesadillas, tacos, grilled cheese, cheeseburgers and pizza.
Asadero is a tangy smooth light yellow cheese ideal for melting and baking, as its stronger flavor is showcased in such heated dishes.
Queso Fresco, the most popular cheese in Latin cuisine, is mild, buttery and slightly salty in flavor. Queso Fresco is ideally crumbled into dishes and softens but does not melt when heated.
Queso Panela is a fresh cheese, often called "basket cheese", as traditionally fresh cow's milk curd is drained overnight in a wicker basket. It may be added to sauces, stuffing or casseroles or crumbled into dishes such as tacos, salads or chili.
Montasio Festivo is a firmly textured and flavorful goat cheese aged from six months to a year. Its dark red rind provides an enticing aroma, which has been rubbed with an ancho chile and olive oil paste.
Queso Oaxaca is a Mexican style Mozzarella cheese. Hand stretched into ribbons of string cheese and rolled into a ball, Queso Oazaca is the base for the classic Mexican dish Queso Fondido, a Central American version of fondue.
Cotija, known of the "Parmesan of Mexico", is firm in texture and strong in flavor and an excellent grating cheese. Perfect on pasta or sprinkled on refried beans, salads, quesadillas or enchiladas.
Anejo Enchilada is a firm pressed cheese slightly milder than Cotija. Anejo Enchilada is rolled in paprika and may be shredded, grated or crumbled and delicious in enchiladas, burritos, and tacos.
Queso Chihuahua is a semi-soft, yellow and buttery cheese making it a very popular Mexican style melting cheese. Queso Chihuahua is excellent with many Mexican dishes such as nachos and quesadillas in addition to pizza, lasagna or casserole dishes.

Q: On the essential uniqueness of the universal solution In the page 51 of An Introduction to Category Theory, there is the following lemma to prove the essential uniqueness of the universal solution.

The claim of the lemma is $k = id_{S}$, and I have an ambiguity regarding the necessity of the remainder of the lemma's assumption right after the piece marked in the image above. In particular, in the earlier parts of the book, say, the page 3, one sees that

So, to end up with the $k = id_{S}$, one does not need to assume anything about $S$ (including the "endomosphism" of $S$ in the lemma's description) except the marked assumption because the identity morphism maps $S$ to $S$ by $id_{S}$. Here since the lemma maps $S$ to $S$ by $k$, then I automatically conclude that $k = id_{S}$. Can one then explain what I am missing here?

Q: Syntax error parsing the query (JPA) I'm trying to use the following code
Query query;
query = entityManager.createQuery("SELECT g.name FROM group g INNER JOIN user_group ug INNER JOIN user u ON u.id = ug.userid AND ug.groupoid = g.id AND u.name = ?1 AND u.password = ?2");

When I run the sql code on mysql console, it works. I guess I am not doing the JPQL correctly.
Does anyone know how to make the correct query?

NOTE: These classes was generated by Netbeans.
NOTE2: Some names are in portuguese.

A: Actually if you want to get group name by user name and password you could rewrite your query as follows:
SELECT g.nome FROM Grupo g INNER JOIN g.usuarioCollection u
WHERE u.nome = ?1 AND u.senha = ?2

Since in JPQL you're working with objects not with tables you will use in JOIN clauses association fields that is fields annotated with @OneToMany and @ManyToMany.

A: You have FROM group g. Isn't group a reserved word?

A: Your query is a SQL query, not a JPQL query. JPQL != SQL. I also advice against querying users by their name + password as this is quite expensive. Instead query users by their primary key. Your query should look like this:
select g.name from group g where :user in g.users

The :user parameter should be a user entity. You can set it like this:
query.setParameter("user", user);

That being said, please tell me that the "password" column contains only encrypted and salted passwords.

KiwiBuild brings potential changes to construction sector immigration processes.
The New Zealand Government's new KiwiBuild scheme will see changes to immigration settings in order to help the construction and housing sector to attract overseas skilled workers.
The government's response to New Zealand's shortage of affordable housing is the new KiwiBuild scheme which will see the construction of 100,000 starter homes for first home buyers over the next ten years, with half of those new houses earmarked for the Auckland region.
The Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) projected in late 2017 that there could be a potential shortfall of approximately 30,000 workers to meet increasing demand in housing and infrastructure, with this number likely to rise as a result of the KiwiBuild initiative. The shortage affects all skills categories in the construction sector but particular growth is expected in the demand for plumbers, electricians, builders, civil engineers and project managers.
The proposed changes, which are expected to come in to force late 2018 or early 2019, include three key components.
The first is a dedicated KiwiBuild Skills Shortage List. This list will identify specific roles for which the immigration process will be streamlined. The list will expand on the innovations introduced in the Canterbury Skills Shortage List, which was brought in after the Christchurch earthquake to help with the city's rebuild.
For roles included on the KiwiBuild Skills Shortage List, an employer may not need to prove to Immigration New Zealand that they have made a genuine attempt to employ a New Zealand citizen or resident visa holder for the position.
The second component of the change will provide advantages for companies who have proven standards as good employers in the construction sector. Employer accreditation or pre-approval should see faster processing and greater simplicity in visa applications.
Employers will be able to benefit from this streamlined process if they reach high standards of health and safety, have good business practices and can demonstrate good employment conditions, pay, training, skills development and pastoral care.
For employers who comply with the pre-approval criteria this will offer greater opportunities to plan their workforce and hire overseas workers to meet the expected demand.
During periods of skills shortage there is often concern around the risk of exploitation of migrant workers through lower wages and poor working conditions. The third component of the proposed changes will put in place steps to minimise that risk by introducing specific requirements for labour hire companies, establishing a mandatory accreditation scheme to cover third party arrangements.
This Immigration New Zealand accreditation is likely to require labour hire companies to pay workers at least the market rate and offer terms and conditions equivalent to the hire company's other employees, as well as ensuring equity across all employees' terms and conditions. The accreditation may also see hire companies having to meet the upfront costs of worker recruitment.
Hire companies will also likely be responsible for ensuring that contracted third parties uphold good practices in the workplace. Failure to comply with this and any of the new proposed changes could mean that Immigration New Zealand could cancel the hire company's accreditation and the benefits that go with it.
The Government may also consider the option that work visas issued under the KiwiBuild Skills Shortage list may have more flexible conditions and could, for example, require the worker just to work in their specific role and not restrict the worker to a particular employer or location.
Recruiting to meet periods of high demand and maintaining legal and ethical obligations in employing migrant staff can be complex. We recommend that employers begin this process with the benefit of professional advice and assistance on visa matters from an experienced Licenced Immigration Adviser or Immigration Lawyer.
The Pathways New Zealand team will be monitoring progress on these proposals and will confirm the final details of the changes once they are announced.

Delays for Filipino dairy farm worker visas.
Filipino Dairy farm workers have been experiencing significant delays in the processing of their work visa application over the last few months. Applications are being held by INZ and they will not commit to a timeframe for processing, which is already well beyond the standard 25 working days target. In some cases they have been under process for 4 months or longer which is fast becoming a major cause of disruption and concern within the dairy farming community at a peak time of the season.
For those workers renewing their visas to continue working in the same role for the same employer they at least have the security that they will be issued an interim visa with work conditions which will allow them to continue working whilst their new visa application is being processed, however for those changing roles and or employers, their interim visa will only grant them visitor conditions and consequently they cannot work. This of course not only creates a skills gap for farm owners at a peak time, but also leaves the workers unable to earn an income and struggling financially.
The delays have been caused due to a major fraud investigation being undertaken by INZ. Whilst this investigation has been underway all applications for Filipino dairy farm works have been put on hold.
The investigation involves the alleged provision of fraudulent documents such as qualifications and work references with work visa applications. INZ began a formal investigation in March 2015 which has uncovered more widespread concerns of false and misleading information. In light of this, INZ has taken on a more in-depth verification process which has led to the ongoing delays.
As a result of this investigation, a woman has been arrested recently and will be charged in relation to the suspected fraud, however concerns about the potential scale of the alleged offending are still unknown. It is likely there will be further charges laid against her and possibly further arrests.
This is a stark reminder that it is never acceptable to provide false or misleading information or withhold material information to INZ through the visa application process. Not only does this raise serious concerns about an applicant's character for future visa applications, but it may also mean a liability for deportation.
This case also emphasizes that applicants must seek professional assistance if they do not feel confident about applying for their visas on their own or are unsure of anything they are being told or requested to do by an employment broker or agent. If seeking a third party's help, make sure that the person is qualified to give immigration advice . The Immigration Advisers Authority publishes a list of Licensed Immigration Advisers on their website as well as their contact details. The Immigration Contact Centre is also a good source of information for any queries relating to policy and application requirements.
We hope this also serves a reminder to other applicants that if an agent tells you to pay them a significant amount of money and they will "take care of the rest" to secure a job for you, this promise is probably too good to be true. If an applicant is suitably qualified and has the work experience required for the role, then there should be no need to inflate their qualifications or work experience.
In the meantime, INZ wants to reassure employers that the current immigration status of dairy workers onshore is being preserved by the grant of interim visas. We are hopeful that the issue surrounding Filipino farm workers will be resolved soon, and as stated by INZ Assistant General Manager Peter Elms' that INZ investigations will continue to target those who benefited from the fraud rather than the workers themselves.

Our thoughts and our prayers are with the families and friends of all our fellow New Zealanders in Christchurch.
We are one people, we are one country and we stand as one together.
The Immigration Minister has announced major changes to post-study work visa rights for international students. This comes after the consultation process undertaken in June this year which received over 2000 public submissions.

Unfortunately sometimes we see verification issues from Instagram. This can be when you're logging in from a lot of devices, when you first add your account to us, or sometimes (unfortunately) when Instagram just decides to check your login.
Essentially, we need to login to your account from our offices in Australia in order to be able to post for you.
So if you see a verification from Instagram asking that if a login using Android in Australia was you, please click "it was me" - it probably was us!
It's important to note that you should always have access to the email address and/or phone number associated with your Instagram account(s), and this is one of the reasons why! We include a prompt when adding accounts to ask you to make sure this is the case, although we know that's not very useful to say if you're now in the situation that you haven't.
If you have an account with a verification issue, there are two ways of solving it.
The fastest way is to use what we call "self-verification".
Go back to Sked Social, and click the check login button again.
We'll check the login again, and usually these will come back successfully.
The good part about self-verification is that you can just wait for us to email you when the original login check fails. Sometimes at peak times, it can take a bit of time for us to have a device ready to do a login check (as we generally prioritise photos and videos to go out above login checks). If this happens, you'll be able to go and grab a coffee or do some other work, and then follow the steps above when you receive an email about the verification failing.
The "code" method: a slower way but a potential backup is through providing us the code Instagram emails you.
This is where you send us the code that Instagram emails or SMSes you after we try and login. It can work well for some customers for whom self-verification isn't working, but at peak times, you may be waiting quite some time until a job becomes available.
If you choose to verify this way, you will need to have access to the email or phone number that is associated with the relevant Instagram account(s). We require all customers to have access to these (you tick a box saying so when you first add the account) for exactly this reason.
To verify using this method, just contact our team and we can walk you through adding the account. The best way to do it is via chat - then we can do it while you're there and can provide the code straight after it's sent.
If you get this error, try hitting "back" on your phone then clicking login again - that usually fixes it. We're not sure what the actual error is, but usually that will make things work again!
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our team.


... Rub it Right! (and add a little olive oil). Let it sit as long as you want, just bring it to room temperature before putting it on the grill (this will keep it from sticking). Grill roughly 5 minutes each side, five minutes off heat, then rest five minutes on the plate (depending on preference and thickness). So good.
Mix together 3/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of pimento peppers rinsed and finely chopped, 1 1/2 Tbs bourbon, and 2 good pinches of Rub it Right (about 2 tsp). Add 6 cups of freshly grated sharp cheddar and 3/4 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese. mmmMMM!

Under Armour Diversity Series: Kurt Downes
August 17, 2021 | By Ben Snider-McGrath
Under Armour has teamed up with Canadian Running to produce the Under Armour Diversity Series — an exclusive feature content series designed to highlight and promote individuals and organizations who have demonstrated a commitment to grow the sport of running, support those who are underrepresented and help others. Over the next six months, the series will feature stories and podcasts highlighting these extraordinary Canadians who are making a difference in their communities and on the national running scene.
The first feature in the series is Kurt Downes, a teacher and running coach who lives in Windsor, Ont. Downes fits the bill perfectly for this series. Running and sport in general can change a child's life, and Downes knows this firsthand, as his own life was immediately impacted when he was introduced to track and field. He had teachers and coaches who acted as mentors in his life, and they helped carve his path through the worlds of sport and school. Today, Downes continues to use the lessons his mentors taught him, and every day, he works to provide his own students and athletes with that same guidance he received when he was their age.

Finding sport
Downes first got started in track and field in elementary school. A teacher, Mrs. Sullivan, saw him run and realized he had a talent for it. Her husband, Downes says, was a coach at another school, and between them, they worked to find Downes opportunities in the sport.
"She got me in with the North York Track Club in Toronto," Downes says. Another teacher would drive to Downes's neighbourhood in Scarborough and pick him and other kids up to take them to York University, where they would train. "I got started in high jump and sprints. I ended up doing pretty well."
Simply finding Downes a spot on the North York Track Club squad wasn't all the Sullivans did for him. That was big, but even bigger was the fact that they helped get him into St. Michael's College School in Toronto — a private school they said would give him great opportunities in academics, as well as in athletics.
At St. Mike's, Downes met more teachers and coaches who would act as mentors to him. One of them was Emile John, a teacher who lived near Downes in Scarborough. John was a long jumper, and he had competed for Saint Lucia. When Downes met him, he had just completed his master's degree, and was working as a supply teacher at St. Mike's while still training for and competing in elite sport.
Downes looked up to John, but not just because of his athletics past. John was the first Black man to teach Downes. He was a representation of the person Downes could one day become. "He was always clean-shaven and well spoken, and the presence he kept about himself was incredible," Downes says.
While at St. Mike's, Downes matured into one of the best young high jumpers in Canada. After fracturing his back on a jump, though, Downes was forced to sit out his first year of high school. A string of injuries followed, turning most of his high school athletic career into an inconsistent affair.

"I'd run something hot, then get hurt again," Downes says. "Then I'd come back, run again, then get hurt. It wasn't until my last year that I put it all together." John helped Downes through these difficult times, driving him to and from chiropractor appointments, working with him in the gym and simply supporting him as he got back to his previous form.
In his final year of school, Downes managed to stay healthy. He competed for St. Mike's at OFSAA, winning a relay medal, placing fifth in the 200m and in the top 10 in the 400m. These stellar results attracted attention from collegiate track programs in the U.S. But Downes's hopes of scholarships fell through, and he "floated around for a little bit," unsure of what his next step should be.
Just as John had helped Downes through his physical struggles, he stepped in to offer guidance when Downes was lost after his final year of high school. "He pushed me to go to the University of Windsor," Downes says. John had competed in the Canadian collegiate system himself at the University of Toronto, so he knew members of the staff at Windsor. "He said he thought I'd fit in well there, and connected me with them. I've been here ever since."
While studying and competing at Windsor, Downes switched his focus from the track to jumps, and he became a top-ranked athlete in the triple and long jump. He and the team ran, jumped and threw to multiple undefeated seasons, only to lose at nationals in each of Downes's first four years. In 2003, his last year of school, everything came together, though, and Windsor won the national championship.
Not long after completing his tenure as a Windsor Lancer, Downes's athletic career came to a sudden halt after he injured himself in training yet again. Downes says now that he didn't have hopes or plans to fight for a spot on Canada's Olympic or world championship teams, so when he injured himself this time, he decided to call it a career and move on from elite sport.
Work in the classroom
Today, close to two decades since his last competition, Downes teaches at St. James Catholic Elementary School in Windsor. He has been a teacher for 16 years, four of which have been at St. James. Just like John did for him, Downes endeavours to show his students — many of whom are members of the BIPOC community and newcomer families — what their futures could be.
He does this by bringing a variety of speakers into his classes. "I think it's important to bring in influential people, period, but especially people of colour," Downes says. "These kids don't see success stories of people who came from neighbourhoods like theirs; people who came from immigrant families like they do; people who talk like them and look like them."
Even in the classroom, for the most part, these kids see white teachers. "They don't see teachers like them," Downes says. "That's not to say these teachers aren't amazing, but representation matters." Downes knows this, because he grew up seeing the same thing in his classrooms as a student. It wasn't until John came along at St. Mike's that Downes had a Black teacher who showed him that he could one day take on a similar role.
Downes has invited a lot of people to his classes, many of whom are former professional and elite athletes who now work in the Windsor community. A perfect example of the kind of guest speaker he invites is Jamie Adjetey-Nelson, a Canadian decathlete who competed at Windsor before winning gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in India. Now retired from elite track, Adjetey-Nelson works as a police officer in Windsor.
"These kids need to see these success stories," Downes says. "Like, 'Look, he got a scholarship, he played at university, he was an academic All-American.' They tell their stories of how they used sport to gain advantages. I thought that was a pretty powerful message for kids."
Life as a coach
On top of his work as a teacher, Downes is a coach at Windsor's Border City Athletics Club. When he was first introduced to track and field, everything changed for him. His life was headed in one direction, but after joining the North York Track Club, his path took a hard turn toward the life he knows now. He has seen what sport can do for a child — he's a living example of the places sport can take students. (Most recently, Downes was named to the Team Canada coaching staff for the Tokyo Olympics.)
Just as he uses the classroom, Downes uses the track to introduce his athletes to futures they might not know exist as options for them. He has already run many programs for his athletes, but he wants to expand his operation and touch even more lives. "We want to focus on Black and racialized youth," Downes says. "Newcomer families, families that have yearly earnings of lower than $40,000."
Many of these families, Downes says, don't even realize that sport is the key to their children's futures. He points to two students — a couple of sixth-grade girls in his class who come from two different newcomer families who only recently moved to Canada from South Sudan. Downes says they're both innately talented runners.
"We used to run 2K in the mornings at school, and these girls would do it so gracefully. I would just watch and be like, 'You two have running written all over you.'" Downes talked to the girls' parents and explained how talented their daughters are. He offered to pay for them to train with Border City Athletics, and he even told them that he could arrange for pickups and drop-offs before and after practice. He told the parents his vision for their daughters, and where running could take them one day, but they turned down his offers.
"They said the girls are needed at home," Downes says. He tried convincing the girls themselves, but they, too, have no interest in running. "I try to tell them what they could do and I show them videos of other young female athletes from Africa, but they just don't care."
That's not the way it always goes for Downes, though, and he points to eight other girls he teaches at St. James Catholic Elementary. Ranging from third to fifth grade, these eight girls are all members of families who came to Canada from Africa, and Downes says they cannot wait to get started on the track.
"They ask me every day — 'Sir, when are we going to start, when are we going to start?'" Once COVID-19 restrictions ease across the province, Downes will finally be able to introduce these girls to Border City Athletics.
These are the kinds of kids Downes wants to help. He knows this sport can change their lives, and he wants to ensure that happens. "That's where my focus is, because I don't think these kids get enough attention," he says. "A lot of the time, Mom and Dad want them at home, but I try to explain that there's a huge opportunity here. I just think it's a no-brainer to provide these opportunities to these kids."
While Downes devotes a lot of his time to the next generation of runners and jumpers, he also coaches a number of elite athletes who compete on the world stage and are looking to represent Canada at the Olympics. Kelsey Balkwill is one of these athletes, and she has been working with Downes for years. Balkwill, a 400m hurdler, grew up just outside of Windsor, and she started training with Downes when she was in high school. Downes is still her coach today as she works toward qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics.
After graduating from high school, Balkwill went to the University of Miami for her undergrad before returning home and attending the University of Windsor, where she ran and pursued her masters of human kinetics, a degree that she's completing this spring. After working with Downes for so many years, Balkwill has plenty of stories about him, but her masters degree is a great place to start.
"He was one of the only people who wasn't pushing me, but accepting that I wanted to go back and do my masters," she says. "Most people told me I had to just focus on the Olympics, and he was like, 'No, you can do both.'" This falls right in line with everything else Downes preaches to his younger athletes. He recognizes that sport doesn't have to be a child's life, but it can instead drive that life toward education and careers.
"He's got this philosophy of putting kids first and influencing their lives and not just pushing them toward track and field," Balkwill says. She now works alongside Downes at Border City Athletics, and she sees this philosophy in action day after day. "He pushes people to be better in all aspects of their lives, not just in sport."
Downes is someone who truly cares about each of his athletes, Balkwill says. They're not just names on a start list or opportunities to pad his coaching resume — Downes makes sure to get to know every kid who joins the club.
"He could tell you all about the kids," Balkwill says. "Their siblings' names, the other sports they love, whatever." This, she says, shows the kids that they belong somewhere and have a support system outside of their family. "Kurt wants to create a space where everyone feels that they belong."
Driving the sport
On top of personally introducing sport to so many children, Downes has actively worked on a number of programs and initiatives to better the lives of female, Black and racialized athletes in Canada. Following the racial unrest in the U.S. that was sparked by the killing of George Floyd in 2020, Downes began working with Ontario University Athletics (OUA) and the Black Canadian Coaches Association to improve the current landscape for Black athletes in Ontario collegiate sports.
OUA CEO Gord Grace himself reached out to Downes and asked him if he would like to help in this initiative. "He said they wanted to be leaders in this area," Downes says. "He said, 'We don't want to sit back and react, we want to do what's right.'" Downes, the OUA and the BCCA met on a weekly basis to discuss ways to make a positive change in the OUA.
"We had collegiate athletic directors, VPs from universities, student reps — a lot of influential people," Downes says. "It was great to have so many discussions to see what people want to change in the OUA. If we change the climate and the culture, or attempt to anyway, in the OUA, it should have a broader stroke for the other conferences in U Sports."
An initiative Downes drove even more than his work with the OUA was the recent Women Can Summit, a Border City Athletics event held in November 2020. This was a fundraiser for an initiative Downes has run previously, called the Girls Can Program, which in the past reached around 50 girls per session, and was organized as a way to empower and inspire young women in and around Windsor.
"The Girls Can Program was on a small scale," Downes says. "I always wanted to do it bigger." The Women Can Summit was the key to that, and when COVID-19 hit, it gave Downes plenty of time to plan it. He reached out to a wide variety of women across North America, including Olympians, coaches, nutritionists and sport scientists.
"After I got a couple of people to agree to participate, it just went bananas," he says. "I was getting yeses from everyone, it was just like boom, boom, boom, it was insane." The summit's lineup of panelists and speakers was packed with successful women from all corners of sport, and the virtual event ended up raising more than $4,000 for young girls in Windsor.
Whether he's trying to convince a sixth-grader to pick up running or planning an event like the Women Can Summit, Downes's actions always come down to the future of the sport and of his athletes. In his time at Border City Athletics, the club has sent close to 30 athletes to the NCAA on scholarships, and almost 20 on scholarships to U Sports schools. So far, 25 of these athletes have graduated with undergraduate degrees, six have completed their masters, three are pursuing medical degrees and two are in the thick of working toward PhDs. Additionally, one of these former Border City athletes has started a non-profit foundation.
It's easy to tell parents that sport can change their child's life. It's the same thing Downes and his family heard when he first got into track and field. It takes a special person — someone dedicated who truly cares about the end result for each child — to turn those words, that promise of what sport could do for a child, into a reality.
Downes had those dedicated and caring people in his life growing up, and they're a big reason he made it to where he is today. And now, years later, he's doing exactly the same thing for the dozens and dozens of kids he works with, both in the classroom and on the track, ensuring that they each get every life-changing opportunity they deserve.
Under Armour gives back
We selected Kurt Downes to be featured in the Under Armour Diversity Series because of his inspiring commitment to honouring and promoting diversity in the classroom and at the track. With this series Under Armour has pledged $5,000 in product donation to the club or team of each featured individual's choice. Downes will be putting this donation to good use for the kids at Border City Athletics who need new gear for this season.

Q: How to print value after enabledelayedexpansion Setting a variable in a "setlocal enabledelayedexpansion" works with
set HASGCC=0
for /f "delims=" %%i in (...) do (
        setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
            set HASGCC=1
        endlocal
    )

but sadly a echo after doesn't result in the correct value (always 0).
   echo Finished %HASGCC%

Afterwards
if !HASGCC! == 0  >>"%PREFS_F...

is evaluated correct.
How to print correct value.
echo Finished !HASGCC!

results in

Finished !HASGCC!

A: Solved it by removing
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

but don't know why.

A: setlocal with or without EnableDelayedExpansion creates a new scope for variables.
It makes a copy of all variables and then all changes are made to these copies.
An endlocal leaves this scope and discard the copy and all changes are dsicarded.
For some variable manipulations you have to enable delayed expansion for some it's better to use disabled delayed expansion, but the only way to switch between them is to use setlocal.
But in your case it seems, that you don't need it at all.

Every tenth coronavirus patient does not know who infected them ({{contentCtrl.commentsTotal}})
Mari-Anne Härma. Source: ERR
Over the past 24 hours, 21 people were diagnosed with COVID-19 in Estonia. While the Health Board is unable to track down the source of infection for every tenth patient, the agency's acting head Mari-Anne Härma told "Aktuaalne kaamera" in an interview that the situation will become critical if the source of half of infections cannot be determined.
The Health Board's morning press releases list the source of infection as unknown in most cases. How often does it prove impossible to determine that source?
In fewer than 10 percent of cases. We do not yet know by the time of the morning press release because work on those cases is just starting, with most sources found by the end of the day. Some close contacts are reported a few days later as people cannot remember everything on the same day. There are also people who are reluctant to say where they caught the virus.
Head of the infectiology department of Latvia's Center for Disease Control and Prevention Jurijs Perevošcikovs recently told "Aktuaalne kaamera" that the situation remains in hand if most patients know where they might have gotten the virus. Tougher restrictions are in order should the number of so-called blind cases grow. If today, every tenth patient doesn't know where they were infected, starting where should Estonia introduce tougher measures?
It would definitely have to be more than every tenth person. My guess would be every other person. If we don't know the source for half of patients, things are very bad.
Where is the situation most critical in terms of new cases?
The situation is not critical in any region, while the infection rate is slightly higher in Tartu County and Ida-Viru County. The Jõhvi Kelder bar is the biggest single pocket today, but the contacts of people who were there have been mapped out. We are waiting for more people to come down with the disease from there.
How big could the Jõhvi outbreak become?
We do not believe it will be extensive. People know each other in a small place, meaning that information travels fast and those who feel they could be infected can associate it with that pocket. They will turn to their doctor or contact the Health Board directly.
Determining the chain of infection is very important in the case of the coronavirus. The Health Board is currently monitoring over 600 people. What is the critical limit where the board is forced to admit it is no loner able to determine the chain?
It all depends not just on the number of people that patients have been in contact with but also how easy it is to contact them, as well as how long it takes to find a single person.
During the peak of the crisis in March and April, we had over 90 new cases every day. Back then, the Health Board was nearing full utilization of its resources. We also need to keep in mind that other activities were suspended and the board's resources, normally used to inspect the quality of drinking water or schools, were redirected to handle COVID-19. We would reach capacity sooner today, but the government has secured us additional funding, we have found new people and have agreements in place with help from other agencies.
Still, at what point would you be forced to admit it's no longer physically possible to stay on top of things?
We are nowhere near that point today.
How long does it currently take the Health Board to determine an outbreak source and stop the chain of infection?
It was a larger and more complicated outbreak in Tartu. Young people are reluctant to accept calls from anonymous numbers, which often means it takes the board longer to track them down. It all depends on how many cases an inspector can handle daily.
What are the main ways people get infected today?
For a time, it was common to catch the disease at parties, whether we're talking about bars, birthdays, family gatherings. The second most common way is catching COVID-19 from family members, people who have attended those parties. Thirdly, we have work contacts; people infecting their colleagues by not staying home in time.
Some cases come from abroad. Which countries currently seem to be exporting the virus?
Very different countries all over Europe. We cannot make a clear distinction here. We are seeing COVID-19 from the Czech Republic, Poland and Russia, also Finland.

(NaturalNews) It is the latest case of extreme government food tyranny, and one that is sure to have you reeling in anger and disgust. Health department officials recently conducted a raid of Quail Hollow Farm, an organic community supported agriculture (CSA) farm in southern Nevada, during its special "farm to fork" picnic dinner put on for guests -- and the agent who arrived on the scene ordered that all the fresh, local produce and pasture-based meat that was intended for the meal be destroyed with bleach.
For about five years now, Quail Hollow Farm has been growing organic produce and raising healthy, pasture-based animals which it provides to members as part of a CSA program. And it recently held its first annual "Farm to Fork Dinner Event," which offered guests an opportunity to tour the farm, meet those responsible for growing and raising the food, and of course partake in sharing a meal composed of the delicious bounty with others.
Laura Bledsoe explains in a letter to her guests written after the fact that two days prior to the event, SNHD contacted the farm to say that, because the picnic was technically a "public" event, the couple would have to obtain a "special use permit," or else face a very steep fine. Not wanting to risk having the event disrupted, the Bledsoes agreed to jump through all the demanded legal hoops even though their gathering was really just a backyard picnic.
But the day of the event, an inspector from SNHD, Mary Oaks, showed up and declared that all the food the Bledsoes would be serving was "unfit for consumption," and that it would have to be destroyed. Though there was no logical or lawful reasoning behind this declaration, and the Bledsoes had complied with all the requirements, Oaks insisted that the food be discarded and destroyed using a bleach solution.
One of the so-called reasons for this action included the fact that some of the food packaging did not contain labels, even though labels are not necessary if the food is eaten within 72 hours. Oaks also cited the fact that some of the meat was not US Department of Agriculture (USDA) certified, that the vegetables had already been cut and were thus a "bio-hazard," and that there were no receipts for the food (which was all grown on the farm, not purchased from a grocery store).
Unaware of their rights, the Bledsoes initially complied with Oaks' unlawful demands and destroyed the food. But shortly thereafter, Laura's husband Monte remembered that they had an emergency contact number for the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF) on their refrigerator.

Just had an email from Quidco to activate a free £10 of £10 spent through them. Expires 30th of April. Must be account specific as it only works for missus. Might be worth checking your emails. "All you need to do now is make a tracked purchase for £10 or more plus VAT before midnight, 30 April." Happy days.
Don't take it personally mate, I know how you feel. I posted a misc once it's similar as the sharing amazon prime or Netflix or Spotify etc where everyone in the group benefits for those that want to join. This was for subway where you create a group and if two people buys in that group with 4 hours of the first purchase they everyone gets 50 points added for nothing, they removed it and accused me trying profit or something along those lines. And I asked them how is it different to the amazon, Netflix etc they didnt have reasonable answer. Surely everyone in those groups are trying to save money and the feature is there by the companies that don't have a problem with it otherwise they wouldn't introduce such features or they would make it stricter if they didn't want just anyone joining. But seems hotukdeals.com likes it to be my way or not. It depends on what mod it is by the way because one actually checked my deal and published it but another came and removed it.

Q: How to find JWT Token expiry time in seconds? I have working jwt token in springboot app in backend then I'm used that token react front end app. now I want to backend token expiry time set and stored console...
const decodedToken = jwt_decode(token);
localStorage.setItem("time", decodedToken.exp);

console.log(localStorage.getItem("time"))

Using the above code to retrieve the expiry time in seconds. But it return this code 1661342806.

A: The number you are returning is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 12:00:00 AM GMT. To get the time portion (as you indicated in your comments), you'd first need to convert it to a date, and then just take the time portion of that date.
For example:
var unixTimestamp = localStorage.getItem("time"); // 1661342806
var d = new Date(unixTimestamp * 1000).toLocaleTimeString();

Witch Hats: Deliverance
The cover of Witch Hats' third album Deliverance is an 1861 sketch by Ludwig Becker, the German artist and explorer who died as a member of Burke and Wills' ill-fated expedition from Melbourne to the Gulf of Carpentaria. Titled "Border Of Mud Desert" and drawn in the last weeks of the artist's life, it's a desolate, despairing image, catching a blinding reflection of light across a dead, treeless plain.
It's a suitable accompaniment for the music. There's a wildness and a barely contained sense of desperation across Deliverance, and also something defiantly Australian – although that's probably just the phlegmy sneer of singer/songwriter Kris Buscombe, who recalls a young Chris Bailey circa the Saints' masterpiece, Prehistoric Sounds.
It's also tempting to read into these eight taut tracks some of the same sense of mortal dread that imbued Becker's imagery. Like the Drones' Feelin Kinda Free, Deliverance paints contemporary Australia as a dystopian nightmare, a paranoid surveillance state where incest occurs behind closed doors while peeping toms keep watch from the bushes outside.
But whereas Feelin Kinda Free distorted the Drones' sound into something barely recognisable from their past, Witch Hats have perfected theirs: rough-hewn but intelligent, intense blasts of mid-paced post-punk and pop. It's not new, but they don't sound much like anyone else, either, and the songs – most of them a classic three and a half minutes – stick like glue.
Weekend Holocauster opens the album with a sledgehammer beat and a lyric to match: "If you've got something to say, you'd better mean it," Buscombe hollers over an ascending bass line. He means it, alright. These are outsider songs: "Collecting coins from the drain that missed the meter … We spit and wipe the floor with you, in a conventional world."
Trying To Forget tells of how the frailties of human psychology compel us to inevitably repeat our own mistakes. "Bloodied is our mind / Distorted our vision / We're going to war now / In an endless revision." The song's coda drifts ironically into what sounds like the distant, nostalgic sound of AM radio, the band briefly playing their own warped take on '60s pop.
It betrays a melodic sense that lifts this Melbourne band above the pack. The hooks of Peeperman and Religious Sickness are subtle but insistent, even when they're buried under clouds of guitar squall. Recorded almost live in the studio, Deliverance is beautifully mixed: the guitars of Buscombe and Rob Wrigley alternately pan and dovetail across the spectrum without ever losing clarity or punch.
Buscombe continues to exhibit a fascination with disturbed characters. On the band's previous album, The Pleasure Syndrome, the subject of the single Hear Martin was Port Arthur killer Martin Bryant. Here, on Insecure Fear, it's Jihadi John, the British Arabic man who gained notoriety as a puppet for the so-called Islamic State. If Buscombe finds empathy for them, it's only as marginalised figures desperate to make a statement.
The highlight, though, is the transcendent finale, Strange Life. Here, Witch Hats reveal one clear debt: to Neil Young and Crazy Horse, particularly in the long, ecstatic solos that dominate Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. Locking into a mesmerising groove, the song ends in a splatter of guitar that's more Jackson Pollock than Becker. It could theoretically go on forever, and it's so damn good I half wish it did.

The shield is crested with a Wheatstone bridge, with the association's colors of scarlet and navy blue entwined beneath. Our emblem, the Wheatstone bridge, is an accurate precision electrical instrument used to measure an unknown electrical resistance by looking at the ratios of three other resistances. When correctly adjusted the bridge is in balance, which is what we strive for as members of HKN: to lead a balanced life, a life in which scholarship, character, and personality are jointly developed. When you look at the HKN emblem, the Wheatstone bridge is symbolic of a balanced human being.
The Caduceus, wand of Mercury, who was the messenger of Jupiter, was preferred by our founder, Maurice Carr, as the symbol for this association. But another and older profession already had selected this symbol. Therefore, upon the honor point of the shield is placed the Caduceus as a memorial to him who organized this society, in which so many now enjoy membership. Its field is scarlet, symbolizing the zeal with which Maurice Carr projected his idea.
The band of silver has been charged with three cubes of magnetite to represent, and thus remind you of, our three great requirements: common sense, an industrious spirit, and a congenial nature.
The mighty hand of Jupiter was selected as being symbolic of the founding chapter, with a blade of lighting for each of the ten members. The field is blue, signifying the loyalty with which they performed their task.
Beneath the shield is a ribbon bearing the name ETA KAPPA NU. In early Greece there was a philosopher who discovered that if he rubbed a piece of amber with a cloth he experienced the phenomena that we know as static electricity. The Greek name for amber is spelled ηλεκτρον (Eta Lambda Epsilon Kappa Tau Rho Omicron Nu). From this word the English language derives the words: electricity, electron, and electronic. And from this name we derive our name -- we use the first, the fourth, and the last letters, namely Eta, Kappa, and Nu. The symbols used on the emblem are the early forms of these Greek letters.

F. Other Possible Sites of Hormonal Action upon the Nervous System
Both androgen and estrogen facilitate olfactory functioning in general, as measured by detection thresholds for a variety of odors (Pietras and Moulton, 1974). The effect of the hormones may be mediated by changes in the morphology of the peripheral cells of the olfactory system (Saini and Breipohl, 1976). From these data, one would expect that all of the various motivational systems which receive motivating stimuli through the olfactory system might be more active in intact animals than in castrates, in females during behavioral estrus and in all animals during the reproduction season.
Estrogen may facilitate tactile reception on other parts of the body in addition to the receptive field of the pudendal nerve which is involved in the releasing of lordosis. In the rat, estrogen enlarges the receptive fields of trigeminal neurons which are responsive to tactile stimulation of the face (Bereiter and Barker, 1975).
The defense motivational mechanism is apparently not directly affected by gonadal hormones, but there is fragmentary evidence that it may be facilitated by epinephrine. Removal of the adrenal medulla produces a retardation of active avoidance (Conner and Levine, 1969a), and injection of epinephrine may enhance active avoidance (Conner and Levine, 1969a), escape (Kamano, 1968), or passive avoidance (Leventhal and Ki11ackey, 1968). In reviewing the literature on hormones and avoidance, Brush and Froelich (1975) came to the conclusion that the physiological increases in epinephrine may enhance performance of this behavior.
Both ACTH and corticosteroids may influence defense behavior within the specific test paradigm of conditioned avoidance (Brush and Froelich, 1975).
