Match Preview: Aberystwyth Town (H)
The Robins are back at Latham Park this Sunday (December 29) as they host Aberystwyth Town in the JD Welsh Premier League.
This weekend's meeting takes place just five days after Newtown AFC beat Aberystwyth, 0-2, at Park Avenue on Boxing Day thanks to goals from Steve Leslie and Nick Rushton.
There are just three games remaining before the league splits into two groups of six as the Robins are fighting to finish in the top six come January.
If Newtown beat Aberystwyth again on Sunday then they will seal a place in the top six with just a couple of games left on the calendar.
Club captain Craig Williams returned to the squad on Boxing Day after serving a three match ban for the red card at Barry Town United, at the beginning of the month.
Williams began the match at Aberystwyth on the bench but was a used substitute late on in the second half and will be available for selection on Sunday.
VIEWS FROM THE MANAGER
Chris Hughes on Boxing Day win at Aberystwyth Town…
"It was a good victory away from home against a good team (Aberystwyth). I think it was more of a professional performance without being spectacular – I think we can play a lot better.
"We were a little bit critical with the players at half time in terms of how we move the ball and I don't think we moved the ball very well and quick enough. I thought we did that a little better in the second half.
"I was really pleased with how we defended and our discipline and we've got that elusive clean sheet that we have been searching for a while – I'm pleased about that as well because conceding sort of one's in games and it was pleasing to get that clean sheet. We always know that if we keep getting clean sheets we have a really good chance of winning the game."
Chris Hughes' thoughts ahead of the reverse fixture on Sunday…
"For us it is just focusing on the next game.
"The game will be different than Boxing Day. I'm sure Aberystwyth will want to make amends for that, we need to be better as well for that. I think we will be better we had that local derby feel on Boxing Day, it was a little bit brushed, we need to be calmer when we are on the ball and go back to our plan.
"I was pleased with the spirit on Tuesday, the endeavour and the desire to go and get the three points and that is what you have got to do sometimes. The desire to defend your box and the desire to keep a clean sheet. We've got to keep that into Sunday.
"They've had a good look at us and we've had a good look at them. We hadn't played them up until this week with two games against them in six days. It can be a little different – they changed the shape at half time on Tuesday to try and counter act us.
"We expect that they will try something different on Sunday and we will be ready for that."
The Robins are unbeaten at home in the Welsh Premier League this season after nine matches (6 wins, 3 draws).
Newtown have successfully scored in their previous 15 league matches home and away – the last time Newtown failed to score in the Welsh Premier League was on September 8 away to Carmarthen Town when they lost 3-0.
Nick Rushton is currently the league's 5th highest goal scorer by finding the net nine times in 1521 minutes played.
Aberystwyth Town
Aberystwyth have lost their last three matches in the league – conceding eight goals altogether.
The Seasiders have not recorded a win in the Welsh Premier League since November 17 when they won at Bala Town, 2-3.
Declan Walker is the team's current top goal scorer with six after playing 1572 minutes this season.

Russia will fully meet expectations of Africa at Sochi summit – minister
MIKHAIL Bogdanov, Special Representative of the Russian President to the Middle East and African, has pledged his country's readiness to fulfil the hopes and aspirations of Africans at the first Russia-Africa summit.
Bogdanov gave the assurance last week during the first preparatory meeting in Moscow of the high-profile summit billed for Sochi in October 2019.
He said his government was aware of the high hopes that Africans pin on the summit and that Russia was capable of meeting those aspirations.
The Russian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs identified the aspirations as particularly those of securing a course for developing constructive cooperation with Russia in solving global and regional problems.
The career diplomat said by meeting those aspirations, Russia and its African counterparts will be creating a fair and balanced system of international relations.
He said such co-operation will ensure peace and security and will boost joint efforts to counter terrorist threat.
Bogdanov informed the meeting that a sizeable package of agreements in trade, economic and investment spheres and a number of other multilateral documents will be signed at the summit.
The idea to hold a Russia-Africa summit in Sochi was initiated by President Vladimir Putin at the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) summit in Johannesburg in July 2018.
The Russia–Africa summit is expected to be attended by African heads of state and government and as many as 3,000 African businessmen, according to the official meeting report.
Bogdanov has been deputy foreign minister of Russia since June 2011 and holds a diplomatic rank of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary.

Research infrastructureBuilding 1 Building 2Laboratories
The Research Infrastructure has facilities to reproduction, incubation, larval rearing and weaning and pre-ongrowing, described as follows:
Facility A) Installation for control of bluefin tuna reproduction. Four tanks with a total volume of around 7,000 m3. Two tanks, 22 and 20 m in diameter and 10 m in depth, intended for breeders, with capacity to hold some 30 tunas each of about 60 kg initial weight and another two of 14 m and 8 m in diameter for juvenile stall. The installation has the possibility of controlling the photoperiod and temperature.
Facility B) Incubation of eggs of bluefin tuna unit. 12 tanks of 500 l of capacity and 50 tanks of 100 l with control of light and temperature.
Facility C) Bluefin tuna larval rearing unit, with seven 5,000 liter and eighteen 1,000 liter tanks and two experimental modules with 12 and 27 circular 170 liter tanks. Unit of mesocosmos for the larval rearing consisting of two tanks of 45,000 liters and installation of phytoplankton culture, rotifer, Artemia and copepods, dimensioned to cover the needs of the larval rearing.

Facility D) Weaning facility ‐ juvenile tuna weaning unit consisting of a cylindrical tank of 100m3, four of 50 m3 and 4 of 20 m with associated recirculation and water treatment system.
Due to great dimensions of the tanks (mainly those devoted to keep broodstock), the four aforementioned facilities (reproduction, incubation, larval rearing and weaning and pre‐ongrowing) are grouped in two close but different building. The first one (building 1) contains the facilities to control reproduction of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna. The other building (building2) contains the facilities for hatching, larval rearing and pre‐ongrowing tuna fry.
Facility A, for controlling the reproduction of the bluefin tuna
It consists of a building of 2,660 m2, corresponding 1,960 m2 to the area including the tanks, 300 m2 to the laboratory area and offices and 400 m2 for water recycling and treatment area.

This building is devoted to develop techniques for bluefin tuna reproduction in captivity. This facility is product of a memorandum of understanding signed by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, the Murcia Regional Community and the IEO, and it is co funded by the regional FEDER funds (80%), but the ownership is only from Spanish Institute of Oceanography. Construction of the building started in 2011 and it was inaugurated in July 2015, and the first fingerlings were allocated in the tanks in August 2015. Another future broodstock has been established in July-August of 2017. In order to obtain eggs meanwhile these fingerlings are growing and they reach their first maturation season, IEO keep a couple of broodstock consisting in 40 big tunas placed in cages along Murcia cost.

Philly councilmember joins EPA's Local Government Advisory Committee
Katherine Gilmore-Richardson joins the 39-member team as Pennsylvania's only representative
By Hannah Kanik

Kate Frese/for PhillyVoice
City Councilmember Katherine Gilmore-Richardson was appointed to the EPA's Local Government Advisory Board Wednesday and will be the only representative from Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia City Councilmember Katherine Gilmore-Richardson was appointed to a national committee that represents local governments in national conversations about environmental policy and decision-making on Wednesday.
The Environmental Protection Agency's Local Government Advisory Committee is made up of 39 elected and appointed officials from 30 different states, tribal nations and U.S. territories. Gilmore-Richardson is Pennsylvania's only representative currently on the board.
Lyft, Uber drivers hospitalized after pair of shootings in Philly
Archdiocese of Philadelphia students, teachers required to wear masks in school
Strict anti-hazing law signed by Gov. Murphy 'strongest effort yet' in the state
The LGAC advises the EPA Administrator on environmental issues impacting local governments and aims to give all Americans equal environmental protection.
"I am thrilled to join the EPA's Local Government Advisory Committee," Gilmore-Richardson said. "Climate change is impacting us now, and these impacts are not felt equitably. As a member of the LGAC, I will be able to bring the challenges Philadelphia faces directly to our federal government to advocate for communities."
The Philadelphia area experienced several heat waves this summer and flooding from major rain storms as a result of climate change.
What's more, Pennsylvania's average temperature is expected to rise by nearly six degrees by the year 2050, which could have a number of consequences for public health and agriculture, a climate report found.
Gilmore-Richardson will represent Philadelphia during committee meetings to discuss local needs, new technologies, program improvements and financing challenges, among other things, spokesperson Eliza Alford said in an email to PhillyVoice.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan announced that the new slate of committee members were selected from more than 150 nominations and include 20 women and 16 people of color.
"EPA is counting on their input and collaboration to help achieve our mission to protect public health and the environment in every zip code," Regan said. "From tackling climate change to advancing environmental justice, we need local partners at the table to address our most pressing environmental challenges."
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is New Jersey's only representative on the board.
Gilmore-Richardson is the chair of the city council's Committee on the Environment, where she sponsored a resolution that praised the Solar Savings Grant Program for its climate justice impact and making Philadelphia "a national leader in using clean energy to drive equitable economic development."
The committee was chartered in 1993 under the Federal Advisory Committee Act to implement public health and environmental programs that ensure all citizens have clean drinking water and air, and proper waste management.

One of my favorite past-times is finding old kitchen tools and utensils in thrift stores. A museum of culinary history awaits me each time I hold an old spider pan, French fry cutter, pewter pitcher, or in a recent visit at the Habitat For Humanity Thrift Store in Southport, an old clamp-style apple slicer.
Creative Commons "Victorian-era Apple peeler" by Mat Honan is licensed under CC BY 2.0.
I was admiring the well-used device when an elderly man approached me and told me how his mother had always wanted one.
I told him I too had lived in the Piedmont area, "I never met anybody there who wouldn't help another person in need, even if they had to do without." We agreed that Piedmont North Carolina had some of the most hard working and generous people in the state.
I walked around the thrift store and admired other old kitchen things, like a well used cherry wood rolling pin, and a 1950's circa flour/sugar canister set. I thought of my grandmother's pewter items I still use. They bring me good memories of a warm kitchen and a woman who knew how to feed me well in many ways. I thought about her apple trees and the way she used every bit of the apple, drying them out, making apple preserves and fried hand-pies. I remembered the first time she let me cook alone, making fried apple rings in her cast iron skillet, me standing on the Sears Roebuck Wish Book. I felt so grown up and proud when she said they were better than hers.
A kitchen is a good place for memories to be born and reborn.
I bought the apple peeler and ran to the man's car as he was pulling out of the parking lot.
Slice apples into ½ inch rings.
Put water and butter into large heavy skillet and melt slowly.
Add apple slices and cook them on medium heat for about ten minutes. Turn once midway.
After ten minutes, sprinkle brown sugar and lemon juice on apples and let them sit covered on low heat for about ten minutes.

The NFL Should Suspend Patriots Coach Bill Belichick for the Super Bowl
The NFL should suspend Patriots head coach Bill Belichick for the Super Bowl, Stampede Blue's Josh Wilson writes. They won't, but they should.
By Josh Wilson@JoshWilsonSB Jan 21, 2015, 11:02am EST
Share All sharing options for: The NFL Should Suspend Patriots Coach Bill Belichick for the Super Bowl
By now you've likely heard of "deflategate," which is the allegation that the New England Patriots were playing with under inflated footballs on Sunday against the Colts. ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported last night that the NFL found that 11 footballs were indeed under inflated.
The use of under inflated footballs makes it much easier to throw, catch, and grip the football in rainy conditions, like the conditions in Foxborough on Sunday night. But while it did give the Patriots an advantage, that wasn't the reason why they won the game. The Colts were using their own footballs and scored just seven points. And it didn't matter that the Patriots' footballs were deflated when the Colts couldn't tackle the ballcarrier. Maybe the game would have been slightly closer had the Patriots played fair, but they still would have won.
Some have suggested the NFL should disqualify the Patriots from the Super Bowl and let the Colts play it, or, as Colts corner Darius Butler suggests, replay the AFC Championship game:
@nfl So we get to play the game again or nah?
— Darius Butler (@DariusJButler) January 21, 2015
That won't happen. The Patriots beat the Colts, simple as that, and the NFL wouldn't dare to take a team out of the Super Bowl - especially not the Patriots. You see, the NFL likely gains more popularity and viewership from the Patriots playing. As we know with any truly compelling movie or story, there is a true villain who everyone roots against. The Patriots are the villain of the NFL. Pretty much everyone outside of New England dislikes them and roots against them. People will tune in to the Super Bowl solely in the hope that the Patriots lose. They're the villain, and the NFL reaps the benefits of it. Why would they take the Patriots out of the Super Bowl?
But at the same time, the NFL has to make a statement that the integrity of the game is important and that cheating won't be tolerated. And to do that, they should suspend Patriots' head coach Bill Belichick for the Super Bowl.
"But it might not have been him that did it," a Patriots fan will argue (because Patriots fans are the only ones I've found who don't think this is a big deal). Who cares? Remember back in "Bountygate" where the NFL suspended Saints coach Sean Payton? Commissioner Roger Goodell set a precedent by saying ignorance isn't an excuse. It was established then that the head coach of a team would be held responsible for what went on with the team. Payton was suspended after his first incident of cheating.
Belichick? This isn't his first offense. Back in 2007, the Patriots were caught cheating by videotaping other team's signals in what is known as "Spygate." The NFL's punishment that time seemed pretty severe, as they fined Belichick $500,000 (the maximum allowed), the Patriots $250,000, and docked them their first round draft pick. But what impact did those fines have on a coach and a franchise that have millions upon millions of dollars? And the use of a draft pick is all in order to get to the Super Bowl - which the Patriots have done.
Seriously, does anyone think a fine will this time cause Belichick to stop cheating? He's making millions of dollars, and I'm sure he'd be willing to pay a fine if he thinks it gives his team an advantage to get to and win the Super Bowl. And does anyone think a loss of a draft pick would cause Belichick and the Patriots to stop breaking the rules? The whole point of draft picks, again, is to win the Super Bowl. On February 1, the Patriots will be playing in the Super Bowl. You really think that they'll care about a draft pick when holding their fourth Lombardi Trophy? Does anyone think they'll care about losing a draft pick? They'll likely see that as a small price to pay for winning another championship. And does anyone think the bad publicity and being labeled a cheater will stop Belichick? He doesn't care about his public perception - just watch one of his press conferences and you'd know that.
And here's the thing: Belichick doesn't have to cheat. He's the best coach in the game, and it's not even close. He's got a very talented team led by a future Hall of Famer at quarterback. He doesn't have to cheat, but he does. He cheated with Spygate, and now it sounds like he cheated with deflategate.
This might seem like a minor issue to many, and I agree that with any other team it wouldn't be nearly as big of a deal. But the integrity of the game is being called into question right now. Does the NFL care? If they do, they'll suspend Bill Belichick for the Super Bowl.
"But that isn't fair," a Patriots fan will cry. That's ironic - the Patriots haven't been playing fair for years. This particular incident didn't affect the outcome of the AFC Championship game, but it does affect the integrity of the NFL. They can't tolerate cheating, especially from someone who's been caught cheating before.
I know it won't happen. The NFL will likely give Belichick and the Patriots a slap on the wrist again, if they find that there was indeed wrongdoing. And instead, we might be watching Bill Belichick and the Patriots hoist the Lombardi Trophy after the Super Bowl. It's well known that, for most incidents, teams have different standards for their best player than they do for the bottom of the roster guys. Does the NFL as well? Belichick is easily the best coach in the league. Would the NFL suspend it's best coach for it's biggest game?
It won't happen, but I'm arguing it should. Roger Goodell's prior punishment didn't deter Belichick and the Patriots from cheating again, so why should we think that it would this time? He needs to make an example out of Bill Belichick and make a statement that cheating won't be tolerated. He needs to suspend Belichick for the Super Bowl. And if not, the NFL runs the risk of Belichick, a cheater, hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Now what kind of message does that send? That "cheaters never prosper?" When he's hoisting the Trophy that symbolizes the greatest accomplishment in football? No, the only course of action that would send a message and protect the integrity of the game is to suspend Patriots head coach for the Super Bowl, even thought that'd be deflating to the Patriots fan base.

Workforce management (WFM) is an institutional process that maximizes performance levels and competency for an organization. The process includes all the activities needed to maintain a productive workforce, such as field service management, human resource management, performance and training management, data collection, recruiting, budgeting, forecasting, scheduling and analytics.

Workforce management provides a common set of performance-based tools and software to support corporate management, front-line supervisors, store managers and workers across manufacturing, distribution, transportation, and retail operations. It is sometimes referred to as HRM systems, or Workforce asset management, or part of ERP systems.

Definition

As workforce management has developed from a traditional approach of staff scheduling to improve time management, it has become more integrated and demand-oriented to optimize the scheduling of staff. Besides the two core aspects of demand-orientation and optimization, workforce management may also incorporate:
forecasting of workload and required staff
involvement of employees into the scheduling process
management of working times and accounts
analysis and monitoring of the entire process.

The starting point is a clear definition of the work required through engineered standards and optimal methods for performing each task as efficiently and safely as possible. Based on this foundation and demand-based forecasts, workers are scheduled, tasks are assigned, performance is measured, feedback is provided and incentives are computed and paid. In addition, online training is provided along with supervisor-based coaching to bring all workers up to required levels of proficiency. Workforce management is a complete approach designed to make workforce as productive as possible, reduce labor costs, and improve customer service.

Field service management
Workforce management also uses the process of field service management in order to have oversight of company's resources not used on company property. Examples include:
Demand management  – to help forecast work orders to plan the number and expertise of staff that will be needed
Workforce scheduler  – using predefined rules to automatically optimise the schedule and use of resources (people, parts, vehicles)
Workforce dispatcher – automatically assigning work orders within predefined zones to particular technicians
Mobile solutions – allowing dispatchers and technicians to communicate in real time.

Market growth
In the 1980s and 1990s, entrepreneurs focused on topics such as supply chain management, production planning systems or enterprise resource planning. As cost pressures have increased, managers have turned their attention to human resources issues. In all personnel-intensive industries, workforce management has become an important strategic element in corporate management. The process has experienced growth in all sectors, including healthcare. The rise of the gig economy has also gone hand in hand with the rise of workforce management preactices.

Mobile workforce management

As our society continues to adopt new technologies such as smartphones and enterprise mobility tools, more companies are allowing employees to become mobile. Mobile workforce management refers to activities used to schedule the employees working outside the company premises. It helps distribute workforce efficiently across various departments in an institution. The need for social distancing imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about major changes in both employer's and employee's vision of remote work, which will likely have a long-lasting impact on workforce organization and management in the coming years.

Software
Workforce management solutions can be deployed enterprise-wide and through mobile platforms. While special software is commonly used in numerous areas such as ERP (enterprise resource planning), SLM (service lifecycle management), CRM (customer relationship management) and HR (human resources) management, the management of the workforce is often still handled using spreadsheet programs or time recording. This often results in expensive overtime, non-productive idle times, high fluctuation rates, poor customer service and opportunity costs being incurred. By using a software solution for demand-oriented workforce management, planners can optimize staffing by creating schedules that at all times conform to the forecasted requirements. At the same time, a workforce management solution helps users to observe all relevant legislations, local agreements and the contracts of individual employees – including work-life balance guidelines.

A key aspect of workforce management is scheduling. This is achieved by establishing likely demand by analyzing historical data (such as the number and duration of customer contacts, sales figures, check-out transactions or orders to be handled). Many workforce management systems also offer manual adjustment capabilities. The calculated forecast values are then converted into actual staffing requirements by means of an algorithm that is adjusted to the particular use case. The algorithm itself is based on the work of Erlang though most modern adaptations of workforce management have shifted towards a richer state management, and optimizations to the original idea.

Current and future staffing requirements, short-term peak loads, availabilities, holidays, budget allowances, skills, labour law-related restrictions, as well as wage and contractual terms have to be integrated into the planning process to guarantee optimal staff deployment. In the workforce management process, the integration of employees is an important factor. In several workforce management systems, employees can log in their availability or planned absences and they can bid for specific shifts so long as they have the necessary skills for the activities planned for these shifts.

Delivery
The three methods of delivery for contact center technologies are on-premises solution, hosted or cloud-based computing.

An on-premises system is one in which hardware and software must be physically installed, deployed and maintained at the business. All equipment is purchased up front. It is traditionally associated with large enterprises with the budget and the space to acquire the capabilities deemed necessary, and the personnel available to configure and modify systems.
A hosted system relies on an outside service provider. Software is purchased and installed in a data center on either physical or virtual servers that may be owned or leased by the business. Implementation is similar to an on-premises solution, but the cost is typically lower because hardware need not be purchased. However, the business must pay an initial provisioning fee as well as a monthly fee for the rental or usage of the hosting center's equipment and personnel.
Cloud computing converts such physical resources as processors and storage into Internet resources. By developing applications in a virtual environment, a company's computing infrastructure is treated as a utility service, and the company pays only for the time and capacity it needs. Cloud eliminates issues such as computing capacity, physical space, bandwidth and storage.

Q: Only replace string in sql when not adjacent to other characters I'm using MSSQL 2008 to replace the values in certain columns. My current query is:
UPDATE table
SET name = replace(name, 'old', 'new')

I would like to know if it is possible to only replace 'old' by 'new' when 'old' is not adjacent to other characters. That is: only when it actually occurs as 'old'
 This would ensure that e.g. 'bold' does not become 'bnew'
Currently I'm retrieving results via JDBC, splitting the string at the delimiter (,) and then checking if the string equals'old'. If so I want to replace with 'new'. It takes a long time to retrieve all the results and send them back, so if this is possible by only sending an SQL-statement containg 'old' & 'new' that would be great!
Records where it should be replaced:

*

*'old , blabla blabla, bla'

*'blabla, old, blabla'

*'blabla, bla old, blabla'

*'blabla, blabla, old'

*'blabla, bla old bla'

Records where it shouldn't be replaced:

*

*'blaold, blabla'

*'blabla, oldbla'

A: Use spaces in your clauses.
UPDATE [YourTable]
SET    name = replace(name, ' old ', 'new')
WHERE  name = ' old '

Alex owes me a dinosaur! I mean within the first ten minutes of meeting, he told me that Dippy wasn't real and was being booted out the natural History Museum. He knows because he was overseeing the redesign of the space. I'm probably the only person out there that was not aware that Dippy was not real. I'm still not completely over it! But Alex has an affable charm and cheeky humour about him that just wins you over, and together with Megan, who is just one of the loveliest people you could meet, I was willing to overlook the heartbreak to shoot their wedding. Firstly because Alex promised a suit of many colours (He reneged on this), but he still looked pretty dapper so I'll forgive him for not turning up looking like something out the musical 'Joseph' and secondly a Ceilidh was also mentioned. I love a Ceilidh!
So a bit about the couple themselves. Alex and Megan met in the Kitchen at his parents house in Devon, and being very English they knew it was love because they liked their tea the same way.
The wedding was a beautiful traditional white wedding in a small village church. Meg looked captivating in her elegant bespoke dress that was made by a family friend for her, with her hair was in a classic updo by Changing Faces, as she and Alex said their 'I do's'. Then it was back to the stunning Cadhay House & Gardens for a relaxed reception with their family and friends in a vintage car by Best Day Ever.
I love how Alex and Meg have mixed using suppliers with utilising the talents of their family and friends. In particular all the amazing flowers everywhere from the bouquets, to the button holes to the table arrangements were all lovingly gown and arranged by Wizz, Meg's Mum, who is starting her own Florist business, Wisteria. But mostly I love how nobody let rain get in the way of having a good time, or getting a few great pictures. And I love how everyone loves a ceilidh!
Alex I'll let you off the Dinosaur but you have to buy Meg another Cat.
