A new 'city-based game' organised by Wrocław City Council promises to shed light on Wrocław's multinational history.
According to the organisers, the game will allow participants to learn about the international figures who have made an impact in the city over the years.
We invite you to participate in our city game "Wroclaw as a multinational city"! Together, we will solve many varied and interesting riddles which will help us to understand Wroclaw's history and its multiculturalism better! Together, we will find out who owned the Royal Palace, which Nobel prize winners are linked with the University of Wroclaw, which event sped up the urban development of our city and much more.
The 1st edition of the game takes place at Plac Nowy Targ on Friday the 5th October at 4.30pm. There will also be a second opportunity to take part on Saturday the 13th of October at 10.00am. The game lasts around 4 hours and will be conducted in English.
Registration for both events is open till the 3rd October. To take part, simply send an email to [email protected] or telephone 603 750 649.


Holiday Magic: A Dickens Christmas is a Burlington tradition. The streets are filled with true "Holiday Magic". Be careful--you might find yourself smiling as you walk around and watch the joy spreading! The event will be held in the streets of Downtown Burlington on in mid-December from 6-9pm.


Home » Can arguing for the appointment of a court-appointed guardian to handle litigation for an incapacitated adult if she previously executed a valid DPOA get you (and your lawyer) sanctioned?
Durable powers of attorney (DPOA's) empower disabled or incapacitated adults to manage their business and personal affairs privately and without court supervision. This includes handling litigation. That's the law. If you don't like it, get the law changed . . . but don't try to wish the issue away by making frivolous arguments in court.
[DPOA's have] the beneficial effect of avoiding the time, expense and embarrassment involved in having to establish guardianships for incompetent persons. . . . The holder of a [DPOA] is appointed by the donor of the power, and essentially performs the same functions as would a court appointed guardian. While not a "guardian" in the legal sense, the attorney in fact has fiduciary duties similar in nature.
Bottom line, our legislature intended DPOA's to be private, non-court supervised, less restrictive alternatives to guardianships. This is basic stuff for Florida probate lawyers. But is it so basic it's frivolous to even argue otherwise? YES.
In the linked-to case above a 78-year old woman executed a valid DPOA in favor of her son. Acting under the authority of this DPOA, son sued mom's property-insurance company (Southern Oak Insurance Company) seeking to recover damages to mom's home caused by a burglary. By the time son filed suit on mom's behalf it was undisputed she was suffering from age-related cognitive disabilities. According to Southern Oak this meant mom's claim could only be prosecuted by a court-appointed guardian. For reasons unexplained in the 3d DCA's opinion, Southern Oak somehow convinced the trial judge to buy into its argument, resulting in a dismissal of mom's lawsuit. This is the kind of ruling that drives probate lawyers nuts. On appeal, it apparently struck a nerve with the 3d DCA as well (in a bad way!).
This is an appeal by an octogenarian, Maximiliana Albelo, from a trial court order dismissing her premises liability complaint with prejudice, for failure to file a petition in probate to determine her own incapacity. We summarily reverse the order on appeal and grant Albelo's motion for an award of appellate attorney fees pursuant to section 57.105(1), Florida Statutes (2011). We write only to explain the reasons for our award of sanctions against Southern Oak Insurance Company and its counsel.
This is a garden-variety premises liability claim brought by Albelo for damages to her home caused by a burglary. The burglary and the existence of a loss are conceded. It is equally undisputed Albelo suffers from age-related cognitive disabilities. Although Southern Oak did not receive notice of the claim until more than a year after the burglary, the company paid $1690 on her claim. A few months later, Albelo filed a sworn proof of loss, supported by a public adjuster's estimate in the amount of $57,760.66. Southern Oak is of the view the sworn claim is fraudulent and instigated not by Albelo, but rather by her son. Southern Oak also is concerned about the binding effect a judgment obtained by Albelo might have against it in the future.
3. The authority of the officer executing for or on behalf of a financial institution that has trust powers and acting as agent is genuine, valid, and still in effect.
§ 709.2119. Southern Oak does not contest the formalities of execution and has not sought to rescind the power of attorney on the ground Albelo was incompetent at the time she executed the document. Southern Oak's and its counsel's persistence in arguing Albelo was required to seek a guardian for herself as a condition of continuing this action was frivolous.
For those of you caught up in a similar case, you may find the research reflected in the Appellant's winning Initial Brief on appeal helpful.


Assessment dates will be posted on the District's calendar.
The Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) includes assessments in English, Language Arts and Mathematics, which are taken by students in grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Students in grades 4 and 8 are administered the Science PSSA.
The English/Language PSSA is aligned to PA Core Standards. Students are assessed on their ability to comprehend and evaluate complex texts across a range of fiction and non-fiction selections. Likewise, they are asked to produce writing to address tasks, audience, purpose, and perspective. Additional skills assessed include those related to the craft and structure of language and vocabulary acquisition and usage.
The Pennsylvania Alternate System of Assessment (PASA) is the statewide alternate assessment designed for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities in Grades 3-8. Specifically, it is intended for those who are unable to participate meaningfully in the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA), even with accommodations.
The Keystone Exams are end-of-course assessments designed to assess proficiency in the subject areas of Algebra I, Literature and Biology. Beginning with the class of 2017, students must demonstrate proficiency on these assessments in order to graduate. There are multiple opportunities for students to take the Keystone Exams throughout their high school career. The Keystone Exams are designed to measure student competency in the PA Core Standards, standards aligned with expectations for success in college and the workplace.


It can be tricky to find good restaurants in areas that receive a lot of tourists. Sometimes it pays to leave the main tourist drag and explore the local villages that are frequented by the locals.
La Part Belle is a charming little restaurant/wine bar/épicerie/salon du thé in Rochecorbon, one of the villages that forms part of the Vouvray appellation. A simple but tasty menu changes weekly using fresh locally sourced ingredients. Portion sizes are perfect for lunch and there is a good selection of local wines, many of which are organic.
For two nights in August, the centre of Saumur becomes the biggest restaurant in the world as thousands gather for the annual celebration of Saumur Champigny and its wines over a delightful open air dinner on the banks of the river Loire.
Wine education – what is green harvesting?
A single vine is capable of producing many bunches of grapes. The only way to make good wine is to have great raw ingredients and that means fully ripe grapes.
Things to do in the Loire valley. Hot air ballooning.
If you've never been up in a hot air balloon, I can wholeheartedly suggest you give it try in the Loire valley.
3 weeks after moving in, we're finally beginning to make some progress. The cardboard boxes are unpacked and the salon and tasting room are decorated.
The perfect place for food and wine lovers, the Loire valley has some amazing local products to try.


Last year, Hasbro introduced a new level of collectible roleplay gear into the Marvel Legends brand. Since Captain America: Civil War was the Marvel Studios movie of the moment, the line kicked off with a replica Captain America shield and an electronic Iron Man helmet for (most) adult heads. These premium items were more than a few steps above what Hasbro had traditionally released for kids, and in 2017, even more gear is on the way.
Coming this summer will be an electronic Star-Lord helmet and an electronic Mjolnir just like Thor wields. Ahead of Toy Fair 2017, Hasbro offered up a peek at the new items we'll be jockeying to try on at this weekend's big toy event.
As nifty as the replica shield and that Iron Man helmet are, this year's offerings speak to me just a tiny bit more. Cap's shield was full-size, so it was hard to display when not in use. Iron Man's helmet made for a better display, but I don't quite have the same affection for Tony Stark that I do for the cinematic Peter Quill. Plus, Iron Man's helmet didn't have Bluetooth speakers built-in.
Yeah, that's right. While you won't have a cool Sony Walkman from the '80s to keep your funk flowing, you can certainly sync up the Star-Lord helmet with your mobile device to crank out the jams. It also has light-up features and makes some other noises, but it's still up to you to bring that goofy swagger.
The cinematic version of Mjolnir also comes with lights and sounds, and a nice little display stand to keep it looking cool when on your shelf. Fortunately, the only worthiness you have to prove to be able to lift one of your own is to pony up $100. The design work is excellent though, so you may not want to be whipping this thing around very much like the Nordic god does. Any storms that you bring about are purely coincidental... probably.
The Marvel Legends Star-Lord helmet and Mjolnir will both retail for $99.99 each, and are going to be available for pre-order on Amazon starting Saturday, Feb. 18 at 12PM EST.

The CPUSA and May Day in New York:Â An Indication of Our Fading Presence and a Call for Serious Reconsideration
This year, May Day in New York City was indeed a special occasion. For the first time in decades, May Day was not only widely acknowledged, but widely celebrated. Here converged AFL-CIO unions alongside radical and moderately progressive groups and a bevy of militant immigrant groups.
For the first time in decades, the expected May Day throngs would far exceed the space a park could offer and the New York Police Department had to grant organizers not only large public spaces, but the international workers' holiday literally took back the streets: rally sites swelled over downtown squares and entire sections of lower Manhattan were sectioned off by the police, who were also out in vast numbers. Rallying and marching on May Day, standing shoulder to shoulder with comrades, union sisters and brothers, environmentalists, peace activists, and radicals of every stripe inspired visions of the May Days of yore.
For this writer, the prospect of being in the heart of this action with the Communist Party USA was all one could ask for. As I had not heard anything about a "uniform" of the day, I wore a black tee shirt which features a red image of Lenin on it; only befitting of the day. I arrived early, about 10:15 AM, and scanned the area, noting the many unions and Left organizations gathering in different spots, all brandishing signs and banners and almost all wearing tee shirts or caps featuring their logo.
I made my way over to the corner the Party intended to meet at and found two comrades initially, on the way to buy some breakfast. One was a local officer, the other a respected comrade who often volunteers for Party assignments in the New York/National office. I inquired into our contingent, what we'd be carrying, etc, and was dismayed to learn that we had no banner to carry — the many older ones had somehow accidentally been discarded (along with many books, I was horrified to learn), when the offices were remodeled.
Worse, though there'd been a meeting on the Monday prior to May Day, no one had actually followed up to get a new banner made till the day before, and then it was too late. Thus, the Communist Party USA, the organization most responsible for the huge May Day parades of the 30s and 40s, and the one group to consistently hold May Day rallies in Union Square Park in the latter years (up until 2003, after which time the rallies mysteriously fell off) did not even have a banner to march under on May Day 2010. I was assured by the local leader however, that we'd all have placards with some kind of stick or pole to elevate them.
By the time we three arrived at the designated corner, several blocks to the rear of the podium, I saw other comrades standing together. One was holding the white placards we've used in recent years—the ones with the No War and dove atop, large empty center and Party name at the bottom. Folks were writing important topical messages on the blank white centers, I along with them not before long. Within 20 minutes or so, many of us had placards but there were no sticks or poles, unfortunately.
At this point I began to take note of our group: one other comrade had a red and black star insignia, one had on a Vets Against the War shirt, others in the rank and file wore other generally progressive messages but unfortunately few had any kind of decidedly communist imagery to share. I was surprised to see no one wearing a CPUSA tee or cap.
Under the circumstances of the lack of a banner and only a series of handwritten placards to display—those with the Party's name down at the very bottom of each (appearing more as placards of anti-war activists much more so than those of Marxist-Leninists), it would have been vitally important for our contingency to display our powerful hammer/sickle/cogwheel proudly on their chests, but this never happened.
Instead, the leadership whom I have always respected wore street clothes. One's only statement was an "Obama '08" pin attached to the strap of his shoulder bag, another wore a Michele Obama as Rosie the Riveter shirt. These would have been great during a contentious general election of course, but for May Day the message is supposed to be revolutionary. One important local comrade wore his red proudly and even displayed not one but two of our lapel pins.
But this was not enough to make up for our National Chair to be marching in an old Bruce Springsteen tour tee-shirt; and no, it was not even a "Seeger Sessions" tour. I respectfully inquired about this with him, stating that I thought he'd be in a red shirt for sure. Sam responded lightly, clarifying that he did not own a red shirt.
For the record, I have enjoyed Sam's role in the Party, but for the life of me, I will never, ever understand this lack of conviction. His role that day was to be a model of our Party's leadership, one which stands in history with the likes of Foster, even founders like John Reed and firebrands like Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. But no one who was not familiar with Sam would have realized that he was a Party leader that day. In fact, with no identifying markers on them, none of our leaders could be "made" as Communists.
Beyond the important issue of facade, the matter also extended into our physical place in the crowd. As the strains of "Solidarity Forever" emanated over the crowd, the performance of the NYC Labor Chorus' heralding in of May Day 2010, most every radical and union group had already moved to the front lines.
But the Communist Party contingent stood back, leaning near some Police Department barricades under the shade of some oak trees in the park. I encouraged all to move forward but only one other comrade joined me in my quest to be in the mix. Ultimately he moved back to the group to encourage them to join us in our spot, approximately a half-block from the podium, in full view of the large screen which hovered over the staging area.
Instead, the comrade came back and said that the rest insisted we all stay together in the back. We returned and when I openly questioned this, several agree we need to have a presence on May Day and we began to walk forward. While the others joined us, it must have been begrudgingly, for after we'd gotten back to a reasonable spot, I was momentarily lambasted by one leader who said I had "made" the group worm through the crowd, only to have to "stand in the sun."
While we all stayed together and then marched more or less together, this is the situation we are now in, comrades. And as a cultural and labor activist firmly embedded in Marxism-Leninism, it troubles me greatly. And especially on May Day, this May Day, we needed to have a strong presence….but we were largely invisible to all.
With no PW to hand out, with no pamphlet to allow ralliers to learn of our program, with no banner to march under and no sense of identity in our outfits, we seemed to be a loosely associated group of well-meaning progressives.
I have resisted the accusations that some in our ranks have hurled at the current national leadership; I am firmly against the Stalinist trend seen in many of these dissenters and have made my differences with them known. But in this time when our role could and should be an important one on the wider Left and at this time when it is so easy for those in opposition to the Party's leadership to seek out faults, why in God's name where we the invisible party at so important an occasion as May Day in New York City?
Comrades, without examining this matter fully we are simply deluding ourselves. We need to seriously reconsider who we are and what it is we need to be.

Der Katastrophenfilm, auch Desasterfilm, bezeichnet ein Filmgenre, bei dem ein allumfassendes Unglück die Rahmenhandlung darstellt. Häufig verwendete Szenarien sind Erdbeben, Überschwemmungen, Vulkanausbrüche, Großbrände, Bedrohungen durch Meteoriten, Stürme, Flugzeugabstürze oder Schiffshavarien, im Zuge derer sich ein einzelner Mensch oder eine Gruppe beweisen muss. Die in der Regel stereotype Inszenierung des über sich hinauswachsenden Helden im Angesicht einer übermächtigen Bedrohung wird teilweise als "starr und variationsarm" kritisiert. Dominierend sind archaische Zerstörungsorgien, die meist durch "restaurative Happy-Ends eingedämmt werden". Exemplarische Vertreter des Genres sind Airport (1970), Die Höllenfahrt der Poseidon (1972), Erdbeben (1974), Flammendes Inferno (1974), Meteor (1979), Twister (1996), Volcano (1997), Dante's Peak (1997), Titanic (1997), Deep Impact (1998), Armageddon (1998), 2012 (2009) oder San Andreas (2015).

Geschichte
Filmhistorisch wurzelt der Katastrophenfilm in den frühen Sensationsfilmen, etwa dem 1902 von Georges Méliès inszenierten Film Éruption volcanique à la Martinique. Als erster klassischer Katastrophenfilm, welcher der heute geläufigen Ästhetik folgt, gilt San Francisco (USA, 1936). Eine erste Hochphase hatte der Katastrophenfilm in den 1950er Jahren, als die Konkurrenz zum Fernsehen spektakulärere Filmsujets beförderte. Dazu ergänzte das Genre die zu dieser Zeit im Horror- und Science-Fiction-Film verbreiteten Bedrohungsszenarien. Während in den frühen 1970er Jahren die Generation des New Hollywood das desillusionierte Lebensgefühl einer verunsicherten Gesellschaft thematisierte, setzte das traditionelle Studiosystem unter anderem auf Katastrophenfilme nach klassischem Erfolgsrezept mit großen Budget und Staraufgebot, darunter Charlton Heston, Steve McQueen, George Kennedy, Ava Gardner, Paul Newman, Dean Martin. In dieser Zeit entstanden zahlreiche technisch aufwändige und zum Teil fortschrittliche Produktionen, etwa der Film Erdbeben (1974) mit der Einführung des Sensurround-Tonverfahrens. Seit den 1990er Jahren ermöglichen digitale Filmeffekte bildintensive Formen von Explosionen und Zerstörungen, die zu einer Renaissance des Genres führten.

\section{Introduction}

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a mature option for a future
electron-positron collider operating at centre-of-mass energies of
up to 3\,TeV.
The conceptual design for a machine based on a two-beam acceleration
scheme, allowing for accelerating gradients up to 100\,MV/m, was
presented in 2012\,\cite{Aicheler:2012bya}.
For full exploitation of its physics potential
CLIC will be built and operated in three stages\,\cite{Charles:2018vfv},
with accelerator footprint of 11 to 50 km.
The energy of 380\,GeV was chosen for the initial stage to optimize the
physics potential in terms of Higgs-boson and top-quark measurements.
Assuming 8 years of running at this stage, a total of
1\,ab$^{-1}$ of data should be collected, including  100\,fb$^{-1}$ at
the \ttbar threshold.
This is similar to the luminosity expected per interaction point for
\mbox{FCC-ee}\,\cite{Abada:2019zxq} with half the construction costs and half
the power consumption of the initial stage of CLIC.
Two high energy stages of CLIC, at $\sqrt{s} = 1.5$ TeV with an assumed
integrated luminosity of 2.5\,ab$^{-1}$ and at $\sqrt{s} = 3$ TeV with
5\,ab$^{-1}$, will mainly focus on direct and indirect Beyond the
Standard Model (BSM) searches, but additional Higgs boson and
top-quark studies are also possible.
Some of the rare Standard Model processes can only be measured at the
TeV energies.
CLIC is the only e$^+$e$^-$ collider project that can go into this domain.

A dedicated CLIC detector concept, CLICdet, has been developed
to assure full exploitation of physics potential from 380\,GeV to 3\,TeV,
based on detailed simulation studies, detector R\&D programme and beam
tests\,\cite{Arominski:2018uuz}.
The design is optimised for Particle Flow
reconstruction\,\cite{Thomson:2009rp} with expected
jet energy resolution  $\sigma_{E}/{E} = 3 - 4$\% for high jet energies.
High resolution tracking based on all-silicon vertex and tracker detectors
will also allow for very efficient flavour tagging.

Presented in the contribution are selected results based on
detector-level simulations from recent
studies of the physics potential of CLIC.
For more information on the CLIC project and its physics potential,
please refer to the documents submitted as input to the
European Strategy for Particle Physics Update 2018-2020\,\cite{esu}.

\section{Higgs physics}

Two main channels contribute to the Higgs boson production
at CLIC: the Higgsstrahlung process, $\Pe^+ \Pe^- \to \PZ \PH$, and the
WW-fusion process,  $\Pe^+ \Pe^- \to \PH \PGn \PAGn$.
Recoil mass reconstruction in Higgsstrahlung events allows for
unbiased event selection, which is crucial for model-independent
determination of the Higgs couplings\,\cite{Abramowicz:2016zbo}.
The clean environment allows for unambiguous separation of different decay
channels opening prospects for direct measurement of BR($\PH \to \PQc
\PAQc$) and setting stringent limits on the invisible Higgs boson decays.
By combining all cross section measurements for the two production
channels, the Higgs boson couplings can be extracted with a
model-independent fit.
For example, the coupling to the $\PZ$ boson can be established with
a precision of 0.6\% at the first energy stage alone\,\cite{Robson:2018zje}.
When including data collected at 1.5\,TeV and 3\,TeV, most of the
Higgs couplings can be measured at the percent level and the total
width of the boson can be determined to 2.5\%.
In Fig.~\ref{fig:higgs}\,(left)
CLIC sensitivity to the different Higgs boson couplings
is compared with the HL-LHC projections, for a model-dependent
analysis\,\cite{deBlas:2018mhx}.
For some of the couplings, CLIC measurements will reduce their
uncertainties by an order of magnitude.
High energy stages of CLIC allow also the Higgs-boson pair
production process to be studied.
The trilinear Higgs self-coupling, which is crucial for understanding of
electroweak symmetry breaking,  can be extracted from the measured
kinematic distributions with uncertainty of the order of
10\%\,\cite{Roloff:2019crr}.
Precision  measurements at CLIC can be also used to search for or constrain
different new physics scenarios.
Shown in  Fig.~\ref{fig:higgs}\,(right) is the 5$\sigma$ discovery range
for Higgs compositeness at CLIC compared to expected HL-LHC 2$\sigma$
exclusions limits\,\cite{deBlas:2018mhx}.
For this type of model, the discovery reach of CLIC can extend beyond the
HL-LHC energy scale.

}\label{fig:higgs}
\end{figure}

\section{Top quark physics}

Already at the initial stage of CLIC over a million top quarks and anti-quarks
will be produced.
This will allow for detailed study of top-quark properties including
top-quark mass and electroweak couplings, and searching for rare top-quark
decays.
For a direct mass measurement from reconstruction of top-quark
hadronic decays a statistical precision of 30\,MeV is expected.
However, the measurement requires excellent control of the jet energy
scale and is subject to substantial theoretical uncertainties.
The most precise determination of the top-quark mass, both in terms of the
statistical and of the systematic uncertainties, is possible with a
dedicated scan of the top pair production threshold.
With 100\,fb$^{-1}$ collected in 10 steps around the threshold (see
Fig.~\ref{fig:top} left), a statistical mass
uncertainty of 20--30\,MeV is expected and a total systematic
uncertainty of the order of 50\,MeV\,\cite{Abramowicz:2018rjq}.

With large statistics of top quarks and anti-quarks produced, rare
top-quark decays can be searched for. Expected limits for
Flavour-Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) decays involving the $\PQc$ quark,
assuming 1000\,fb$^{-1}$ collected at 380\,GeV, range from $2.6 \times
10^{-5}$ for BR(\ensuremath{\HepProcess{\PQt \to \PQc \PGg}}\xspace) to $3.4 \times 10^{-4}$ for a decay involving
an invisible dark matter particle, BR(\ensuremath{\HepProcess{\PQt \to \PQc \HepParticle{E}\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\slash}}\xspace).
FCNC top couplings can also be constrained from the measurement of
single top production.
These constraints are comparable to the direct ones for 380\,GeV,
but improve significantly  for higher energy running\,\cite{deBlas:2018mhx}.

The top-quark Yukawa coupling can be  indirectly constrained from the
threshold scan.
However, the measurement is very sensitive to systematic effects.
Direct determination of the top-quark Yukawa coupling is possible from
the measurement of the $\PQt\PAQt\PH$ production cross section at high
energy stages of CLIC.
Signal event selection, with four b-jets expected in the final state,
profits from the excellent flavour tagging capabilities.
The expected precision on the top Yukawa coupling  for 2.5\,ab$^{-1}$
of data collected at 1.5\,TeV is 2.7\%.

Precise measurements of the top-quark pair-production cross-sections,
forward-backward asymmetries and angle distributions in top decays
can be use to set constraints on possible BSM contributions in the
framework of Effective Field Theory (EFT) operators.
Measurements at one energy stage are insufficient to simultaneously
constrain all relevant EFT couplings.
Only by combining data collected at different energies (and polarisations)
all Wilson coefficients contributing to the top-quark pair production
can be constrained simultaneously.
Summary of the global EFT analysis results, based on statistically
optimal observables, is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:top}\,(right).
With high precision of top measurements CLIC is sensitive to ``new physics''
in the top sector up to scales in the 100\,TeV range.

\section{Beyond Standard Model physics}

While strong limits on mass scales of ``new physics'' are expected at
HL-LHC for scenarios involving strongly interacting new particles,
complementary searches are possible at CLIC.
Both direct searches, for models with weak couplings or soft signatures,
as well as high sensitivity indirect searches, based on precision
measurements, were considered\,\cite{deBlas:2018mhx}.
Sensitivity to possible ``new physics'' processes at large energy
scales can be studied in the general framework of the EFT operators.
By combining precision measurements of different Higgs and top-quark
observables, as well as  WW  and two-fermion production processes,
limits on the considered EFT operators can be set in the global analysis.
As shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:eft}, CLIC measurements will significantly
improve limits expected from HL-LHC.

\end{figure}

For many models, in particular those with an exotic scalar sector
or new Higgs bosons, the CLIC direct and indirect reach can exceed
that of HL-LHC.
As an example, indirect and direct sensitivities to new heavy scalar singlets
are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:bsm}\,(left).
For the direct search, the heavy scalar decay to a pair of Higgs bosons,
$\PGF \to \PH\PH \to \PQb\PAQb\PQb\PAQb$, was considered.

The Higgsino is one of the common targets in searches for
supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model.
If it is not the lightest supersymmetric particle, the Higgsino can decay
into a SM boson and missing energy.
One of the possible signatures are the ``disappearing tracks'' caused by
a heavy charged particle passing through the detector before decaying
to a neutral particle that escapes detection and a very soft charged
particle, unresolved in the detector.
Search for dark matter production using ``disappearing tracks''
signature at CLIC profit from  precision tracking and low
background conditions.
Expected exclusion contours for the three stages of CLIC are compared
in Fig.~\ref{fig:bsm}\,(right).

\section{Conclusions}

CLIC is an attractive and cost-effective option for a next large
facility at CERN offering the unique combination of high collision
energies and the clean environment of electron-positron collisions.
The energy chosen for the initial CLIC stage is optimal for Higgs and
top-quark measurements, allowing for precise determination of the
top-quark mass and Higgs couplings, but also setting stringent constraints on
many BSM scenarios.
Subsequent CLIC stages reaching TeV scales will significantly enhance
precision of SM measurements, and extend indirect BSM searches to
$\mathcal{O}$(100) TeV scales and direct searches for ``new physics''
complementary to those planned at HL-LHC  up to the TeV scales.

The Flower Adornment Sutra,
Prologue, with Commentary by Venerable Master Hsuan Hua
...The three Realms were just mentioned, and all living beings are found within them. To transcend the three Realms is to reach the Pure Land of Constant Stillness and Light, and it is to enter Nirvana Without Residue. But even though the Fixed Nature Sound Hearers and the Sound Hearers of Overweening Pride get beyond the three Realms, because the measure of their minds is small they cannot obtain ultimate Nirvana, and so much further undergo change birth and death.
The first of the three Realms is the Desire Realm, desire being what is defiled and not pure. All living beings within that Realm are born from sexual desire and die because of it, and revolve in the impurity of sexual desire rebirth after rebirth. The seeds and habits involved in their birth from sexual desire lead to their undergoing death from sexual desire as well. Take a look attachment any kind of living beings – is there one without thoughts of emotional desire? Any time there is emotional desire there is defilement and one is impure. That's why people who cultivate the Way need to:
Purify the mind and diminish desire.
They must keep their minds pure attachment all times and always be without thoughts of desire, decreasing and diminishing it. The reason people in the world get into trouble is form letting thoughts of greed and desire arise. When that happens they create all kinds of impure causes, and so reap all kinds so impure results. If you investigate it carefully, people have their own kind of desire, and so do creatures – each living beings, every kind of animal, has its own brand of craving. Any living being that has awareness, feelings and emotions has desire. But if you can have awareness, feelings and emotions yet be free of desire, then you have reached your basic substance, which is pure.
In the Desire Realm there is the greed of sexual desire, but living beings in the Form Realm do not have desire. Nonetheless they are still greedy for form and color and so still have a kind of attachment, no longer to desire like beings in the Desire Realm, but to form. Beings it the Formless Realm have gone beyond that and are no longer attached to form, but then become attached to formlessness and so are not yet able to attain liberation, for they still have hang-ups. If any attachments remain, whether to desire, to form or to formlessness, one cannot transcend the three Realms.
People can be very intelligent yet still be unable to put down desire. They may have every intention of letting go of it, but when it comes right down to it they don't let go. They may want to and want to be rid of it, but then not get rid of it, and instead become confused all over again. That happens because one lacks true and actual wisdom. If you had that kind of wisdom, you would put down desire the way you say you will. You would use the wisdom sword and sever emotional desire with one thrust of the blade. But you don't have the sword of wisdom, so you cat cut free and continue to be dragged around in the three Realms. One life your emotion is lighter and you're born in the Form Realm. Another degree purer and you're born in the Formless Realm. But then while there our thoughts of desire flare up again. You fall into the same old bad habits and start craving desire some more, and return to the Desire Realm. You keep making the rounds of the Desire, Form and Formless Realms over and over again on the six-spoked wheel of the six paths of rebirth: gods, asuras, people, animals, hungry ghosts, and hell-beings, and you never get out. That's why the ancients said:
The three Realms have no peace,
Just like a burning house.
There's no more peace to be found in the three Realms than there is in a house that's going up in flames. If you want to escape form them, you have to work hard and cultivate every single instant, and learn the skill of purifying the mind and diminishing desire.
It's not easy to escape the three Realms – when you don't know the way to do it, that is. Once you know the method, you can escape from them. The ancients had a gatha which describes this:
The six desire heavens all have the five signs of decay.
The heavens of the third dhyana have the disaster of wind.
Even if one cultivates to Neither Thought Nor Non-thought
It's not like going to the West and coming back again.
Where we live right now is included in the six desire heavens, all of which experience the five signs of decay. Although they are discussed elsewhere, we may as well repeat them here for those who are not familiar with them, and for people who once knew what they were but have forgotten. There may also be people who haven't forgotten the, but don't remember them clearly, so if asked what the first sign of decay is would answer by giving the firth, or if asked the firth would reply wit the third.
The Five Signs of Decay
One's floral wreath wilts
Ones' clothes become dirty
One's body begins to stink
One's armpits begin to sweat
One does not remain in one's seat
The five signs of decay are the indications that a god is about to die. That first concerns the wreaths of flowers that gods wear on their heads. The flowers don't grow out of the ground or in the air, but spontaneously appear. When you're born in the heavens you are adorned with a floral wreath on your head which is far more beautiful than crowns of precious jewels worn by kings on earth. However, when the five signs of decay appear, the flowers all dry up and the wreath falls from your head. Up to that time the flowers are always fresh and lovely, but when your time is up, the wreath disappears.
The next sing is that one's clothes become dirty. Gods don't wear the same kind of garments as people heavenly raiment is extremely light, incredibly beautiful, and never has to be washed. You don't have to take it to the Laundromat to wash it and put it through the dryer. Even though those labor-saving devices save a lot of time, gods basically don't need them and don't have that kind of trouble. Their clothes simply stay clean and new all the time – until the five signs of decay appear and trouble comes along. Then their clothes get dirty and can't even be washed clean.
Also, the gods always smell good -- their bodies give off a kind of fragrance because they've cultivated pure Brahma conduct, held the five precepts and practiced the ten wholesome deeds. From not killing they have the precept fragrance of not killing. Not stealing, no sexual misconduct, no false speech and not taking intoxicants each have their own precept fragrance too. It's not as among people who either smell like cattle or goats or reek of fish, and who let out a stench worse than a latrine when they remove their clothes, stinking like foxes or dogs. People don't smell clean and nice because they don't hold the precepts, so their bodies have a disagreeable odor. If they eat onions or garlic, they have that kind of smell, but most of the people here don't eat those kinds of things, and so this room doesn't smell like that.
I do have one disciple, though, who is really fond of onions. I asked him one day, "Why do you eat so many onions?"
He said, "I don't. I don't eat them. I really don't." He insisted on denying it.
I said, "Okay, never mind. Just forget it if you don't want to admit it."
Some time went by, and then probably he got enlightened. He came back and knocked on my door and said, "I told you a lie."
"Why did you want to lie?" I asked.
He said, "I didn't want to tell you the truth." After that he gave the details of his onion-eating and said he repented and wanted to be a good disciple in the future. Whether he will be or not we'll find out later.
Anyway, if you eat a lot of onions, your body will stink of onions. If you eat beef you will smell like cattle, mutton and you'll smell like a sheep, pork and you'll smell like a pig – and you'll smell like a dog if you eat dog meat. If you eat a great deal of some kind of flesh, in the future you'll become that kind of creature, because you join forces with it and form one substance. The reason the gods don't reek like cattle, sheep, pigs or dogs is because they hold the precepts and are strict vegetarians. That's why they are reborn in the heavens and always smell of perfume – until the third sign of decay appears, which is that their bodies start to stink and they lose their pleasant smell. When that happens the other gods avoid that god like the plague, holding their noses and giving him or her dirty looks as they go the other way.
Unlike people, gods don't ever perspire, and don't need fans – until the fourth sign of decay appears and their armpits start to sweat. Then they have b.o. and the other gods won't have anything to do with them, which indicates they are about to fall. So there they are sweating and stinking and then they go nuts and don't know what to do with themselves. It's uncomfortable sitting so they stand up, bounce around, then sit down again – only to get right back up. That's the sign known as not remaining in their seats. Gods for the most part are seated in Samadhi, but when their time is up they are like someone learning to meditate who can't stand sitting any more and has to get up and walk around. The god gets up and down but doesn't feel any better walking or standing than sitting, and is uncomfortable no matter what he does. Then the god falls. If his good karma ripens, he becomes a wealthy and respected person. If it's his bad karma, he turns into an impoverished ghost, a poor animal, or a destitute hell-being – it's not fixed. That's how the six desire heavens have the five signs of decay.
Then in the heavens of the third dhyana, when the disaster of wind arises, you have to fall. Even if you were to cultivate and reach the Heaven of Neither Thought Nor Non-Thought, it would not be as good as going to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, and coming back again.

Bryon Widner is an American former white power skinhead.

Involvement with skinhead movement
Widner became a skinhead at the age of 14, and he spent 16 years involved with white supremacist organizations in the midwestern United States. Described as a "pit bull", Widner co-founded Vinlanders Social Club, a white power group in Indiana that soon gained a reputation for excessive violence.  This organization became one of the fastest-growing racist skinhead organizations in the US.

Tattoo removal
Widner's efforts to rejoin wider society were significantly hampered by his extensive facial tattoos, many of which were violent or racist. His wife feared that Widner would take drastic action to remove the tattoos, such as immersing his face in acid. She eventually contacted anti-racist activist Daryle Lamont Jenkins of One People's Project who put him in contact with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

After "several weeks of conversation," SPLC representatives agreed to help Widner in his quest to remove his facial tattoos. They found a plastic surgeon who was willing to perform the procedure, and an anonymous donor provided $35,000 for the procedures.

La maison de Schwarzbourg, qui remonte au moins au , est l'une des plus anciennes familles d'Allemagne. Issue de la haute noblesse thuringienne, le centre de son fief, qui est d'abord un comté, est le château de Schwarzbourg. Dans le Saint Empire romain, à partir de 1599, les comtés de Schwarzbourg-Rudolstadt et de Schwarzbourg-Sondershausen ont le statut d'États souverains ; plus tard, ils sont élevés au rang de principautés. Ce statut perdurera jusqu'à la révolution allemande de 1918-1919, à travers les vicissitudes de l'histoire allemande.

Histoire
Selon la tradition, la famille de Schwarzbourg descendait d'un certain Sizzo qui vivait en Thuringe vers l'an 1000, probablement un parent de l'ermite Gunther († 1045). Ses ancêtres s'étaient établis quelques siècles auparavant ; un autre noble nommé Gundhareus a déjà été mentionné dans une lettre du pape Grégoire II adressée au missionnaire Boniface de Mayence en 722. Ils régnèrent sur la région autour de la ville actuelle d'Arnstadt au pied de la forêt de Thuringe où ils firent ériger le château de Kevernbourg (ou Käfernbourg) au .

Le lieu de Schwarzbourg est mentionné pour la première fois sous la forme Swartzinburg dans un acte de l'archevêque Annon II de Cologne en 1071. Le fondateur de la dynastie est Sizzo III († 1160), fils du comte Gunter († 1109) et de son épouse issue de la famille du prince Iaropolk de Kiev. Dans un document délivré par l'archevêque Adalbert de Mayence en 1123, il s'appelait « comte de Schwarzbourg » pour la première fois. Il épousa Gisèle, une fille du comte Adolphe  de Berg. En 1152, il a fondé l'abbaye de Georgenthal.

Le comte Henri , fils aîné de Sizzo III, régna sur Schwarzbourg et sur la moitié de Stadtilm ; de son mariage avec une fille du comte Hermann II de Winzenbourg, il n'y a d'héritiers masculins. Après sa mort en 1184, la maison est dirigée par son frère Gunther II († 1197) qui a épousé en premières noces Getrude, fille du margrave Conrad  de Misnie. Il céda les châteaux de Schwarzbourg et de Blankenbourg à son fils aîné Henri II qui continue la lignée, tandis que le fils cadet Gunther III est la souche des Kevernbourg, branche éteinte en 1383. Leur frère Albert fut consacré archevêque de Magdebourg en 1205.

Le comte Henri II de Schwarzbourg-Blankenbourg régna de 1197 jusqu'à sa mort en 1236. Il épousa Irmgarde, fille du comte Siegfried III de Weimar-Orlamünde ; dans le conflit qui opposait Philippe de Souabe à son cousin Otton de Brunswick pour gagner le trône du roi des Romains, il a soutenu les Hohenstaufen et a combattu contre les troupes du landgrave Hermann  de Thuringe. Son fils Gunther VII († 1274) accompagna l'empereur Frédéric II dans la sixième croisade en 1228 ; à partir de 1248, il a combattu durant la guerre de Succession de Thuringe.

Au début du , les comtes furent propriétaires de vastes possessions le long des rivières Gera et Saale s'étendant de Rudolstadt jusqu'aux villes de Schlotheim et Frankenhausen au nord. En 1349, le comte Gunther XXI de Schwarzbourg-Blankenbourg est élu antiroi par le parti opposé à Charles IV de Luxembourg.

À la suite de la mort du comte Gonthier XL de Schwarzbourg en 1552, la maison se partage en deux lignées :
 la branche de Rudolstadt, régnant sur le comté de Schwarzbourg-Rudolstadt ;
 la branche d'Arnstadt, régnant sur le comté de Schwarzbourg-Sondershausen.

Les deux branches obtiennent par la suite le rang de prince, la première en 1697, la seconde en 1710. La maison de Schwarzbourg est réunifiée en 1906 par l'extinction de la branche d'Arnstadt. La principauté devient une république en 1918 et est absorbée par la Thuringe en 1920. La maison de Schwarzbourg s'est éteinte en 1971.

Le comté de Schwarzbourg est un ancien État du Saint-Empire romain germanique de 1195 à 1595, quand il fut divisé en Schwarzbourg-Rudolstadt et Schwarzbourg-Sondershausen. Il appartenait à la maison de Schwarzbourg. Il faisait partie du cercle de Haute-Saxe. Le château de Schwarzbourg est mentionné pour la première fois en 1071. Selon le chroniqueur Lambert de Hersfeld, il fut reconstruit en 1123 par le comte Sizzo III de Käfernbourg (Kevernbourg) qui prit le titre de « comte de Schwarzbourg ».

En 1197, Henri II, le petit-fils de Sizzo, divisa son héritage avec son frère Günther III et fit de Schwarzbourg sa résidence. Son territoire comprenait également le château voisin de Blankenbourg. Le comté fut divisé plusieurs fois parmi ses successeurs jusqu'en 1538 quand le comte Günther XL le Riche réussit à réunir dans sa main tous les territoires du comté, dont Frankenhausen et Rudolstadt. mais il fut de nouveau divisé en 1583 :
 Johann Günther  reçut le territoire autour d'Arnstadt, qui forma plus tard le Schwarzburg-Sondershausen ;
 Albert VII reçut le Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt.
Cette partition fut entérinée en 1599 par le traité de Stadtilm.

Corporate headquarters require a variety of solutions at their entrances and exits to ensure that the only people entering the building are those who are supposed to be there. Security of rented properties, single-company buildings, and large multi-tenant buildings can all benefit from security entrances to help keep employees safe and properly accounted for.
The entrance to your company is so much more than a simple door or gate. It is also the first touchpoint for your customers and visitors and where they will make their first impressions of your business. It is also the point where your hard-working staff will be coming in and out every day. Many factors need to be taken into consideration from the required level of security to aesthetics and installation.
When your business inhabits an entire building, security at the entrance is of paramount importance. Security entrances such as turnstiles help to control crowds during peak traffic times and can be configured with access control to require credentials to be presented and authorised. Security entrances can be supplemented with a guard for added oversight and to prevent passback of credentials. Installing security entrances can help protect employees working within the facility from volatile situations and potentially limit the impact to the lobby, where authorities can more readily respond and deal with any problems or threats.
Functionality is important, but you also want your company's entrance to be visually appealing while also matching the style of your brand and organisation.
If you want to achieve a sophisticated modern look, adapting and using the latest entrance technology, such as the use of biometrics, is a great way to achieve this. Alternatively, a speed gate or revolving door can help give off a clean, minimalistic look to your building.
Privacy also plays a role when it comes to the aesthetic of your corporate entrance. Do you want a large, transparent entrance that will allow passers-by and potential customers to look into your building from the outside, or do you require a smaller, more private, entryway?
Opportunity to 'Level Up' where it counts the most to you – in security, safety or aesthetics.
Boon Edam is proud to offer high security portals, turnstiles and security revolving doors and speed gates that have stood the test of time. Our entrance portfolio also includes some of the world's most impressive architectural revolving doors – providing inspiring and often dramatic first impressions for decades.
Finally, you want to ensure that your entryways are as accessible for as many people as possible, especially for people with disabilities. The Equal Rights Act 2010 says businesses should make reasonable adjustments to provide access to those that are disabled.
Being access friendly should come naturally if one of your staff is disabled, but ensuring your entrances are easy to access, regardless, will help show your company is disability-friendly. Also, you never know who your next potential customer or client is, but if they cannot even access your building, then it is simply a missed opportunity.
Thanks to our global distribution network, extensive maintenance and repairs services, and sales offerings across the world, we can ensure that your global entrance needs are met no matter where your corporate HQ is based.

German Factory Orders Down by 2.0 Percent in April
Monday, 06 June 2016 05:15 AM
BERLIN (AP) — Factory orders in Germany have dropped sharply in April adding to worries about stagnation in the German industry.
The Federal Statistical Office said Monday that new orders in manufacturing decreased by 2.0 percent in April compared to the previous month. It also adjusted March's rise to an increase of 2.6 percent over February, compared to the 1.9 percent rise initially reported.
April's decrease was caused by a 4.3 percent drop in foreign orders, primarily from outside the eurozone, while domestic orders increased by 1.3 percent. Orders from outside the euro area decreased by 8.3 percent compared to the previous month.
ING-DiBa economist Carsten Brzeski said the figures "add to evidence of continued stagnation in the German industry."

AGS 2014: Missed opportunity to restore EU credibility!
EAPN Press releasesBy EAPN Europe Staff November 18, 2013
EAPN welcomes the new AGS 2014 priority on participation of national stakeholders, but deplores the failure to refocus on Europe 2020 and its targets and to propose a coherent strategy to tackle rising poverty
Brussels, 17 November 2013 –The European Anti-Poverty Network's first reaction to the AGS, which the Commission adopted yesterday, is one of disappointment. EAPN criticizes the failure to re-focus the AGS on Europe 2020 and its targets (particularly the poverty and other social targets) and insists on the need for coherent integrated strategies, as called for in the EAPN letter to President Barroso on October 4th. The proposal to strengthen national stakeholder engagement in the Semester is however welcomed, but concerns raised about the overall aims.
Will MEPs give the ESF its full potential to reduce poverty?
Brussels, 18 November 2013 – Last week, EAPN and the 19 other NGOs running the campaign EU Money for Poverty Reduction NOW! sent an urgent letter to the President of the European Parliament and the Presidents of the European political groups, on the eve of the plenary vote on the EU Budget and the ESF Regulation 2014-2020. The Coalition sees this vote as a test of the European Parliament's commitment to reducing poverty by supporting a strong European Social Fund of at least 25% of the Cohesion Budget to back the 20% earmarked for poverty reduction. This would make a real difference for the 120 million women and men currently facing poverty and social inclusion across the European Union and would help to increase people's trust in the European Parliament in these times of crisis.

Wheeling Circular/Village Views
2016 State of the Village Address
From the Desk of President Argiris - 2016 State of the Village Address
I'm pleased to report that 2015 was another great year for Wheeling. I'm continually impressed with the energy, creativity, and commitment shown by the members of our community-including our residents, businesses, and partner agencies-and it's a pleasure to work together to help Wheeling succeed. I'm particularly grateful for the wisdom and leadership shown by the Board of Trustees, which welcomed two new members this year, Joe Vito and Mary Papantos. The Village's talented management team has a new member-Police Chief Jamie Dunne, who joins us from the City of Prospect Heights-and two familiar faces have moved into new roles: Mark Janeck is now Director of Public Works, and Village Planner Andrew Jennings' role has expanded to include directorship of Community Development. These shifts accompany other changes that will improve our staff's already impressive efficiency and effectiveness.
In recent years we've worked hard to lay the groundwork for future economic vitality, and in 2015 those efforts paid off in a big way. Thanks to major new developments including Northgate Crossing, the Whitley, and Creekside Medical Center, among others, the Village issued permits for nearly $70 million worth of construction projects last year, a whopping $29 million increase over 2014. The vacancy rate in Wheeling's industrial sector is still among the lowest in the region at around six%-and this number will shrink even further with Richelieu Foods' occupancy of a 115,000- square-foot facility on Palatine Road. Thanks to recruitment efforts at the Village, state, and federal levels, Wheeling won out over several competitors in Richelieu's national search for a food-processing plant employing at least 125 people. We expect more good news in the manufacturing sector soon.
Wheeling's retail sector also shows steady growth. To help spread the word about Wheeling as a world-class dining and hospitality destination, the Village has joined Chicago's North Shore Convention and Visitors Bureau, which promotes our region's amenities and attractions. Wheeling's annual July 3 celebration has long been known as one of the best in Northern Illinois, and it got even better in 2015, establishing a home at Chicago Executive Airport as Rock 'n' Run the Runway, an event featuring a morning 5K followed by live music and fireworks. To further increase Wheeling's international profile, last October we had the honor of traveling to the Republic of Korea with Tenth District Congressman Bob Dold and a delegation of local business and education leaders on a trip sponsored by Wheeling's own Korean Cultural Center of Chicago. With the help of our public, private, and nonprofit partners, we'll keep working to expand Wheeling's global reach.
The Village also undertook several major initiatives in 2015 to maintain our residents' safety. The Fire Department negotiated a $1.5 million contract to replace aging equipment with a new fire engine and new ladder truck, scheduled for delivery later this year; these vehicles will help keep Wheeling safe for many years to come. The Police Department was re-accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies for the eighth time; the department also won the Commission's prestigious Accreditation with Excellence Award. In 2015 Wheeling also began providing police dispatch services for the City of Des Plaines, an arrangement that maintains responsiveness in both communities at a substantial savings to taxpayers, and that serves as an example of a well-considered and effective consolidation of government services.
Stormwater Control
Stormwater control continues to be a priority for the Village, and we've made significant accomplishments in this area. We were
able to secure a grant to fund the relocation of the residents of the Fox Point mobile home community who were impacted by the April 2013 floods. We successfully negotiated with Cook County to establish a connection to their storm sewer at Hintz Roadand Jackson Drive that will help improve the transmission of stormwater from that flood-prone area. Most significantly, we established a Stormwater Utility to fund future infrastructure improvements that will reduce flooding throughout Wheeling.
Dundee Road Corridor
Last year saw significant new development along the Dundee Road corridor, and more is in the near future. The Village is preparing for growth, starting with the recent addition of new streetlights. Substantial road construction will follow, including improvements at Dundee and McHenry and Dundee and Elmhurst intersections to facilitate traffic flow, as well as an improved and signalized intersection at Dundee and Community Boulevard that will serve the Post Office and Community Campus. In all, we made an investment of $4.8 million in infrastructure last year, and plan additional improvements totaling $7.6 million in the year to come. Furthermore, the Village continues to work with the developer of Wheeling Town Center, the transit oriented mixed-use development adjacent to the Metra station, and anticipates significant progress on this project during 2016.
There's a lot to be excited about in the coming year, and the Board of Trustees and I look forward to working together with our partners in the community to make Wheeling an outstanding place to live, learn, work, and visit!

Q: Running one test on a remote test controller/agent I have unit tests set up to run on a build server.  I just added a codedUI test which isn't running because I need to set the controller to run in interactive mode.  Because we couldn't alter the existing build controller, we set up a machine with its own controller/agent combo.
How can I, within visual studio, tell one of the tests (coded UI) to run under this controller/agent, while keeping the others as they are? I looked into testsettings files but it's not clear how I can get this done.
The controllers/agents are 2010, I'm on vs2012.

A: First, you have to configure your controller to run with Visual Studio. So, open the Test Controller Configuration tool and check that the Register with Team Project Collection option is not selected.
Then, from visual studio (2012):

*

*Right click on the solution and select add new item. Add a new Test Setting file.

*In the Test Settings window go on the Roles tab. Select Remote Execution and add the controller's (machine) name or ip in the Controller field.

*After you saved your settings, select Test --> Test Settings ---> Select Test Settings File and select your new settings.

Q: How to not throw exception in ASP.NET Web Api service? I am building a ASP.NET Web Api service and I would like to create centralized exception handling code.
I want to handle different types of exceptions in different ways.  I will log all exceptions using log4net.  For some types of exceptions I will want to notify an administrator via email.  For some types of exceptions I want to rethrow a friendlier exception that will be returned to the caller.  For some types of exceptions I want to just continue processing from the controller.
But how do I do that?  I am using an Exception Filter Attribute.  I have this code working.  The attribute is registered properly and the code is firing.  I just want to know how I can continue if certain types of exceptions are thrown.  Hope that makes sense.
public class MyExceptionHandlingAttribute : ExceptionFilterAttribute
{
  public override void OnException(HttpActionExecutedContext actionExecutedContext)
  {
    //Log all errors
    _log.Error(myException);

    if(myException is [one of the types I need to notify about])
    {
      ...send out notification email
    }

    if(myException is [one of the types that we continue processing])
    {
      ...don't do anything, return back to the caller and continue
      ...Not sure how to do this.  How do I basically not do anything here?
    }

    if(myException is [one of the types where we rethrow])
    {
      throw new HttpResponseException(new HttpResponseMessage(StatusCode.InternalServerError)
      {
        Content = new StringContent("Friendly message goes here."),
        ReasonPhrase = "Critical Exception"
      });
    }
  }
}

A:
For some types of exceptions I want to just continue processing from the controller. But how do I do that?

By writing try..catch where you want this behaviour to occur. See Resuming execution of code after exception is thrown and caught.
To clarify, I assume you have something like this:
void ProcessEntries(entries)
{
    foreach (var entry in entries)
    {
        ProcessEntry(entry);
    }
}

void ProcessEntry(entry)
{
    if (foo)
    {
        throw new EntryProcessingException();
    }
}

And when EntryProcessingException is thrown, you actually don't care and want to continue execution.

If this assumption is correct: you can't do that with a global exception filter, as once an exception is caught, there's no returning execution to where it was thrown. There is no On Error Resume Next in C#, especially not when the exceptions are handled using filters as @Marjan explained.
So, remove EntryProcessingException from your filter, and catch that specific exception by changing the loop body:
void ProcessEntries(entries)
{
    foreach (var entry in entries)
    {
        try
        {
            ProcessEntry(entry);
        }
        catch (EntryProcessingException ex)
        {
            // Log the exception
        }
    }
}

And your loop will happily spin to its end, but throw on all other exceptions where it will be handled by your filter.

Q: How to fetch multiple values from JSON array with nested object using JSONPATH? I need to fetch multiple values from a JSON array with nested objects (example JSON below) using JSONPATH.
{

            {
                "category": "reference",
                "author": "Nigel Rees",

                "price": 8.95,
                "edition": {
                       "year": 1990,
                       "published_by": "MacMillan"
                 }
            },

                "category": "fiction",
                "author": "Evelyn Waugh",
                "title": "Sword of Honour",

                       "published_by": "MacMillan"
                 }
            }
        ]
     }
}

When I tried, this works good upto parent object level.
store.book[0].[title,author]

["Sayings of the Century", "Nigel Rees"]

Now I want to fetch child object values (edition.year) too. Something like this:
["Sayings of the Century", "Nigel Rees", 1990]

But the below expression is not working:
store.book[0].[title,author,edition.year]

Can anyone help on this? Thanks.

A: with JSONPath-Plus you can use the below query
store.book[0].[title,author,year]

Tested here: https://jsonpath.com/

A: The feature at play here is called union. While there is no binding standard on how to implement unions in a JsonPath library, most only allow two union two properties.
C. Burgmer compiled an overview of different JsonPath implementations and their behavior, and there is not even a feature to union more than two (flat) properties listed. So, this is implementation-specific, and most don't support it.
The next best thing I found is union'ing three properties on the same level using Goessner's JsonPath or JsonPath-Plus (both JavaScript):
$.store.book[0].[title,author,edition]

Which results in
[
  "Sayings of the Century",
  "Nigel Rees",
  {
    "year": 1990,
    "published_by": "MacMillan"
  }
]

You can try it online here or here (Goessner tab).

Stair na hÉireannHistory, Ireland, Irish History, Irish Language/Irish Gaelic'Give Way' sign in Connemara, Celtic, Celtic Languages, Celts, Co Galway Alison Toon Photography, Ireland, Irish, Language, Latin, Scots Gaelic
'Celtic' is a linguistic term (pronounced with a hard 'c') which describes a group of languages nowadays represented by Irish, Scots Gaelic and Manx, which belong to the 'q' Celtic group, and Welsh, Breton and Cornish, which make up the 'p' Celtic group.
The 'q' Celts could not pronounce 'p' and so either dropped it completely (pater in Latin, meaning 'father', is athair in modern Irish) or changed it to a 'q' type sound, thus purpura in Latin, meaning 'purple', is corcora in Irish.
Speakers of Irish can understand Scots Gaelic without much difficulty, but will not be able to understand Welsh or Breton at all, as the two groups of languages have been developing separately for over 2,000 years.
The Celtic insular languages are mostly those spoken on the islands, typically Britain, Ireland, Man and part of France. The Insular languages are divided into two branches, the Goidelic and the Brythonic. Manx is a form of Gaelic spoken on the Isle of Man. The last native speaker of Manx died in 1974, but many are learning the language today, and recordings exist of native speakers. There are many native speakers of both Irish and Scottish Gaelic today, not only in Ireland and Scotland, but also in Nova Scotia, in Canada. Language became central to the culture of the Irish, much more so than other Celtic races. It was, and is, a source of great pride and identity.
Modern Ireland has only four provinces, Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Connacht. Meath was the fifth and cuige, the Irish word for province, retains the tradition – cuig means five.

Q: Google Cloud Data Fusion ingest Excel to Bigquery I am trying to create a simple pipeline to ingest Excel from GCS and push to Bigquery. Used Wrangler to create the parse as Excel directive, where the data came back perfectly.  Issue is when deploying and running the pipeline, error collector captures the following -
Error encountered while executing 'parse-as-excel' : Error encountered while executing 'parse-as-excel' : Column 'body' should be of type 'byte array' or 'ByteBuffer'
Incoming data type(GCS Source) when marked as blob and byte fails in wrangler.
I am certain something basic is amiss, any help is appreciated.

A: To solve this, the incoming data body had to be set to byte(from source GCS).
For some reason this was selected as string, causing issues when deployment of the pipeline was effected.
