$directory = "D:\Pictures";

How to retrieve the files stored in that folder and then upload to my web application?
I'm using old laravel here, version : 3.2.13.

A: The answer is you CAN'T. Upload the file not from Form but from directory is an dangerous action. Simply imaging that hackers could create a simple website for submit something and easy to stolen your file easily.
So, reconsider about your goal. Why you have to upload a file from client computer without select from form?

How Much Does Health Insurance Cost for the Average Adult?
Written by James Hirby and Fact Checked by The Law Dictionary Staff
Purchasing health insurance is not easy. Collectively, American health insurance companies offer thousands of different policies through hundreds of intermediaries. While many health insurance consumers' choices are circumscribed by the whims of their employers' group health insurance providers, individuals who must purchase health insurance on the open market are liable to face a dizzying array of choices. Many consumers welcome this wide-open market. Others find themselves overwhelmed by the process of finding an affordable health insurance plan. In many cases, the sheer cost of single-coverage health insurance is the principal driver of these feelings of frustration.
If you're looking for affordable health insurance, you'll need to take an honest look at your demographic profile and medical history. Young, healthy people need to pay far less for health insurance than their older counterparts. However, it should be noted that many health insurance companies offer less-than-ideal coverage for their younger customers. Some of the plans that health insurers market to young adults lack full coverage for basic preventive services. Worse, these plans' co-pays and coinsurance costs can be staggering. Their hospital-visit deductibles can also be extreme: Some plans don't start paying for medical care until the policyholder has incurred more than $10,000 in medical expenses. Although some of these plans can cost as little as $40 to $50 per month, they may not be very useful.
If you're young and want a more comprehensive health insurance plan, you'll probably have to pay more than $100 per month for a single-coverage policy. If you want to reduce or even eliminate your deductible, you may have to pay $150 or $200 per month for your policy. In most parts of the country, this monthly outlay will provide you with a generous safety net that requires you to make minimal out-of-pocket payments.
On the other hand, group health insurance holds out the possibility of cost-sharing for older or unhealthy policyholders. If you're looking to save money on your health insurance costs, talk to your employer about joining its group health insurance plan. Alternatively, you can find a "group" through your insurance company. Most non-employer group plans are comprised of collections of demographically-similar individuals who wish to take advantage of cost-reducing economies of scale. If you want to provide coverage for your spouse and children, you'll find these group health insurance plans to be especially useful. However, you should be prepared to spend more than $500 per month for your family's coverage.

Q: AWS Config - MaxNumberOfDeliveryChannelsExceededException I need some advice, i want to create an exception which will ignore AWS Config Delivery channel, if already create. Currently i am getting the following error -

Failed to put delivery channel 'Security-DeliveryChannel-V156D0TVGUC6'
  because the maximum number of delivery channels: 1 is reached.
  (Service: AmazonConfig; Status Code: 400; Error Code:
  MaxNumberOfDeliveryChannelsExceededException;

I have written the following code and i need some assistance to write some exception, to ignore the following resource creation if AWS Config - Delivery Channel - already created
DeliveryChannel:
Type: 'AWS::Config::DeliveryChannel'
Properties:
ConfigSnapshotDeliveryProperties:
DeliveryFrequency: !Ref DeliveryFrequency
S3BucketName: !If [InternalBucket, !Ref AuditLogBucket, !Ref ExternalAuditLogBucket]

A: If you ever set up AWS Config via console you have to clean up using AWS CLI.
You can get the status of AWS Config
aws configservice get-status

And then clean up the recorder and the delivery channel
aws configservice delete-configuration-recorder --configuration-recorder-name default
aws configservice delete-delivery-channel --delivery-channel-name default

when you're done you should be able to create AWS config through CloudFormation
if you set it up on multiple regions use

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible
2 SAMUEL CHAPTER 16
Ziba, by presents and false suggestions, obtaineth of David his master's inheritance, 2 Samuel 16:1-4. Shimei revileth and curseth David, who restraineth Abishai from revenging it, 2 Samuel 16:5-14. Absalom cometh with Ahithophel to Jerusalem; lieth with his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel, according to the counsel of Ahithophel, who was esteemed as an oracle, 15—23.
Ziba; a crafty man, who, being persuaded that God would in due time appear for the righteous cause of so good a king, and scatter the cloud which was now upon him, takes this occasion to make way for his future advancement. A bottle; a large bottle or vessel proportionable to the other provisions.
For the king's household to ride on; for the king and his wives and children were all on foot; not that he had not or could not procure asses for them at Jerusalem, but because he chose it as best becoming that state of penitence and humiliation in which they were.
Which though it might seem a very unlikely thing, yet such vain expectations do often get into the minds of men; nor was it impossible, that when David's family was thus divided, and one part engaged against another, they might destroy themselves by mutual wounds; and the people being tired out with civil wars, might restore the kingdom to the family of Saul their old master, whereof this was the top branch. And this was a time of general defection of many whom the king had greatly obliged, witness Ahithophel. And Mephibosheth's absence made the calumny more probable.
Thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth; a rash sentence, and unrighteous, to condemn a man unheard, upon the single testimony of his accuser and servant. But David's mind was both clouded by the deep sense of his calamity, and biassed by Ziba's great and seasonable kindness, And he might think that Ziba would not dare to accuse his master of so great a crime, which, if false, might so easily be disproved.
I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight: thy favour is more to me than this gift; which, as a token of thy favour, I accept with all thankfulness.
Bahurim; a city in Benjamin, 2 Samuel 3:16 19:16; i.e. to the territory of it, for to the city he came not till 2 Samuel 16:14.
He cast stones; not so much to hurt them, as to show his contempt of them.
All the people were on his right hand and on his left; which is noted to show the prodigious madness of the man; though rage (which is truly said to be a short madness) and the height of malice hath oft transported men to the most hazardous and desperate speeches and actions.
Or rather, go out, as the word properly signifies. Be gone out of thy kingdom, as thou deservest.
All the blood of the house of Saul; either,
1. The blood of Abner and Ish-bosheth; which he maliciously imputes to David, as if they had been killed by David's contrivance; especially the former, because David did only give Joab hard words, as in policy he was obliged to do; but instead of punishing him, did reward and prefer him. Or,
2. The death of Saul's seven sons, 2 Samuel 21:8, which, though related after this, seems to have been done before; of which See Poole on "2 Samuel 15:7".
In thy mischief: the same mischief thou didst bring upon others, is now returned upon thy own head. Or, thy sin hath found thee out, and thou art now receiving the just punishment of it.
What have I to do with you? to wit, in this matter I ask not your advice, nor will I follow it; nor do I desire you should at all concern yourselves in it, but wholly leave it to me, to do what I think fit.
Because the Lord hath said unto him; not that God commanded it by his word, for that severely forbids it, Exodus 22:28; or moved him to it by his Spirit, for neither was that necessary nor possible, because God tempteth no man, James 1:13; but that the secret providence of God did order and overrule him in it. God did not put any wickedness into Shimei's heart, for he had of himself a heart full of malignity and venom against David; but only left him to his own wickedness; took away that common prudence which would have kept him from so foolish and dangerous an action; directed his malice that it should be exercised against David, rather than another man, as when God gives up one traveller into the hands of a robber rather than another; inclined him to be at home, and then to come out of his doors at that time when David passed by him; and brought David into so distressed a condition, that he might seem a proper object of his scorn and contempt. And this is ground enough for this expression, the Lord said, not by the word of his precept, but by the word of his providence, in respect whereof he is said to command the ravens, 1 Kings 17:4, and to send forth his word and commandment to senseless creatures, Psalms 147:15,18.
Who shall then say? not unto Shimei, for it was justly said so to him afterwards, 1 Kings 2:9, but unto the Lord; who shall reproach God's providence for permitting this? Or, who shall by words or actions restrain him from executing God's just judgment against me?
It may be; he speaks doubtfully, because he was conscious that by his sins he had forfeited all his claim to God's promises.
The Lord will look on mine affliction with an eye of commiseration.
Not that he could reach him or hurt him with it; but only as an expression of contempt. And the like is to be thought concerning the stones, wherewith he could not think to reach David, when he was encamped with his men on every side.
Came to the city of Bahurim, 2 Samuel 16:5.
To wit, Absalom, whom he pretends to own for his king and liege lord.
Is this thy kindness to thy friend? doth this action answer that profession of greatest friendship which thou hast hitherto made to him? Dost thou thus requite his favour and true friendship to thee? He speaks thus only to try him. And he saith, thy friend, by way of refection on David; as one who was a friend to Hushai, and to strangers, but not to his own sown, whom, by his severity and design to give away his right to Solomon, he provoked to this course; and therefore he doth not vouchsafe to call him his father.
Though as a private person I owed and paid friendship to David whilst he was king; yet I must make all my obligations give place to the authority of God, who putteth down and setteth up kings at this pleasure; and to the common sense and decree of the whole body of the nation. But Hushai expresseth himself very cautiously; for though he would be thought to understand Absalom, yet in truth this character did not agree to him, whom neither God nor all the people had chosen, bout only a part, and that the worst part of them.
Thou art his son, and heir, and successor, and now in his place and stead; whereby my friendship which was due to him is devolved upon thee by right of inheritance; and I reckon that my friendship is not wholly alienated from him, when it is transferred upon one that came out of his bowels.
This counsel he gave, partly to revenge the injury done to Bath-sheba, who was the daughter of Eliam, 2 Samuel 11:3 who was
the son of Ahithophel, 2 Samuel 23:34; and principally for his own and the people's safety, that the breach between David and Absalom might be made wide and irreparable by so vile an action which must needs provoke David in the highest degree, both for the sin and shame of it; as the like action had done Jacob, Genesis 49:3,4; and cut off all hopes of reconciliation, which otherwise might have been expected by some treaty between Absalom and his tender-hearted father; in which case his followers, and especially Ahithophel himself, had been left to David's mercy.
Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father; and therefore obliged by thy own interest to prosecute the war with all possible rigour, and to abandon all thoughts of peace; as knowing that his father, though he might dissemble, yet would never forgive so foul and scandalous a crime.
Then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong; they will fight with greater courage and resolution when they are freed from the fear of thy reconciliation, which otherwise would make their hearts faint and hands slack in thy cause. But by this we may see the character of Absalom's party, and how abominably wicked they were, whom such a loathsome and scandalous action tied the faster to him, whom for that very reason they should have deserted and abhorred. And we may further learn how corrupt and filthy the body of the people was, and how ripe for that severe judgment which is now hastening to them.
Upon the top of the house, to wit, of the king's palace, the very place from whence David had spied and gazed upon Bath-sheba, 2 Samuel 11:2. So that his sin was legible in the very place of his punishment.
Unto his father's concubines, i.e. to one or some of them; and by so doing did further make claim to the kingdom as his own; and, as it were, take possession of it; it being usual in the eastern countries to account the wives and concubines of the late king to belong of right to the successor: See Poole on 2 Samuel 12:8.
In the sight of all Israel; who saw him go into the tent, and thence concluded that he lay with them, as he had designed to do.
Was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God; it was received by the people with equal authority and veneration, and was usually attended with as certain success; which is mentioned as the reason why a counsel which had so ill a face, should meet with such general approbation.
With David; to whose pious disposition he accommodated himself, as policy obliged him; but being weary of it, he takes this first occasion to discover himself, and execute that wickedness which before lay in his heart.

Scented candles are always a good choice for bringing warmth and fragrance into a room. This is a time of year where many people enjoy lighting candles as they settle down for the evening, and so what better way to add a warming scent than with a scented candle. Popular scents that will evoke the spirit of Autumn are pumpkin and spices, apple and cinnamon, and anything that evokes the feelings of local harvests, Autumn leaves, and open fires.
While Potpourri may seem a little outdated, there are ways of using dried scented leaves, berries and cinnamon sticks that will look thoroughly modern. Think of new ways to display them, such as cinnamon sticks in a jar, or a homemade wreath.
Commercial air fresheners have much to offer in the way of warm and comforting scents for the home, and you can choose from a wide range of products such as reed diffusers, gel air fresheners, room sprays, plug ins and more. You can easily make your own room spray however with water and just a few drops of essential oils – think spices, orange, and woody scents.
If cooking and baking is your thing, then you simply cannot beat the smell of fresh bread, cookies or cakes. Cooking meals in a slow cooker will fill your home gradually throughout the day with a scent of home cooking, and if you have been out at work all day it is a wonderful aroma to come home to.
Whatever your preferred way to scent your home for Autumn is, be sure to take care and follow all health and safety guidelines, especially for candles.

Anticipation is building for thirty-seven of Cornwall's top tourist establishments who have won gold, silver or bronze this year's Cornwall Tourism Awards.
Pubs and hotels, holiday parks and restaurants, visitor attractions and cafés the length and breadth of the county are quietly celebrating, having made the final "top three" in any of the fourteen Award categories.
Each one is now assured of winning a gold, silver or bronze award and will look forward to the grand Awards dinner at the Headland Hotel on Thursday 16th October, when the winners will be announced.
Scoring a hat-trick of nominations is the Bedruthan Steps Hotel at Mawgan Porth, reaching the final in the Large Hotel, Website and Sustainable Tourism categories.
Double finalists include the Hotel Penzance and its Bay Restaurant, as well as fast-growing, Marazion-based surf vacation company, Global Boarders. The two companies cap a creditable showing by Penwith businesses, garnering no less than eight nominations – notably including two of the county's best three pubs: the Gurnard's Head in St Ives, and the Victoria Inn, Perranuthnoe.
Elsewhere, Falmouth was revealed as Cornwall's best location for eating out, taking two of the top three places in both the restaurant and café categories.
In Fowey, two local hotels go head-to-head, as the Old Quay House and Fowey Hotel are shortlisted together in the Small Hotel of the Year award.
Meanwhile, Boscastle's renaissance continues with the news that the "Boscastle Gold Group", comprising of five Green Tourism award-winning B&Bs, has been shortlisted for sustainability: the first ever joint entry to reach the final shortlist.
Announcing the "top three" lists, Teresa Timms of VisitCornwall said: "Once again, these nominations underline the quality, diversity and richness of holiday experience available in Cornwall. It's no wonder we're still the UK's favourite.


Munich – Fish oil supplements may work slightly better than a popular cholesterol-reducing drug to help patients with chronic heart failure, according to new research. Chronic heart failure is a condition that occurs when the heart becomes enlarged and cannot pump blood efficiently around the body. In a four-year study, Italian researchers gave two groups of several thousand patients each a day omega 3 pill (a prescription formulation pill derived from fish oils) against placebo in the first case, and the drug rosuvastatin, also known as Crestor, against placebo in the second. The oil performed better against the placebo than did Crestor. Doctors said people should get the same benefits from taking cheaper options like fish oil supplements- or just eating more oily fish like salmon.


Bringing home your new four-legged friend will likely be one of the best days of your life. But as exciting as this is, it may also be intimidating, especially if you have never owned a dog before. Thanks to our obedience training in Chicago, even the worst-behaved dogs will leave our trainers a completely different dog, in the best way possible! Here are some signs your dog could benefit from our services that will have both of you wagging your tails.
If your dog continuously shows aggression either toward other dogs or toward humans, this is a red flag that our obedience training in Chicago is necessary. Examples of aggression include growling, barking, biting and unexpectedly chasing after humans or other animals. At the end of the day, you want to be able to trust your dog in social situations as well as while relaxing at home.
How many times have you gone up to greet a dog only to be jumped on? As much as you don't mind this, it isn't how a dog should be behaving. You don't want your dog to go out in public and jump on strangers. We can help train your dog how to greet people the right way.
When you call your dog's name, they should be well-trained enough to come on the first command. If this is not the case, contact our dog obedience trainers in Chicago for help!
When you take your dog for a walk, is it as if the dog is walking you? Leash pulling is a common behavior that many dogs excitedly exhibit. However, this is a warning sign of bad behavior. Dogs should be well-trained enough to stay by your side on a walk without straying too far ahead.
Let your dog reach his or her full potential through our obedience training in Chicago! Contact Chicago Canine Academy to get started.

Is Robinhood Safe for All Kinds of Investors?
by Akarsh Shekhar October 14, 2020 December 8, 2020
Robinhood is one of the world's most popular online trading and investment apps. It was launched in 2013 and its commission free model helps keep investor costs low and encourages them to invest more in the stocks. Investors can trade stocks, ETFs, options and even cryptocurrency without paying commissions. The app was originally developed for Apple (AAPL) – Get Report phones and tablets but has since launched an Android version as well.
Robinhood was born in the wake of the 2008 Recession. The product was created to fulfil a desire to "democratize America's financial system". The brains behind Robinhood also wanted to provide a more modern platform for young but jaded investors.
The company was founded by Stanford University Physics graduates Vladimir Tenev and Baiju who wanted to use Robinhood to motivate a new generation of investors. When Robinhood was launched in 2014, it had a waiting list of over half a million people. The company's mission was to make the financial markets more accessible, primarily by offering commission-free trades, no account minimums, and an easy-to-use mobile app.
Soon after that, Robinhood also launched a premium trading platform called Robinhood Gold. This platform offered extended hours trading, margin accounts, and larger instant deposits in exchange for a flat monthly fee based on Gold Buying Power tiers.
With its fantastic array of features and incredible ease of trading, Robinhood has a large and dedicated following. It has become so popular that people outside the US are also clamoring for Robinhood to start operations in their country. Financially, Robinhood is backed by major venture capital players like Google Ventures, Index Ventures, and Andreessen Horowitz. While all of that is great, is Robinhood safe to use? Let's find out.
Is Robinhood safe: Things to know
How Are Brokerages Regulated?
What are some other protections for investors?
What are some other risks to keep in mind?
Is Robinhood Safe: Conclusion
All brokerage firms, Robinhood included, are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC was created by Congress as a precautionary measure after the stock market crash of 1929 which led to The Great Depression. The SEC works to oversee the securities market to ensure transparency and fair dealings.
The SEC's primary compliance mechanism is prosecuting civil cases against companies and individuals that commit fraud, disseminate false information, or engage in insider trading. However, the SEC doesn't provide any protection to individual investors and does not insure against loss or otherwise protect your investment from actions your brokerage firm may take.
On top of the SEC regulations, a lot of brokerage firms are voluntary members of Self Regulatory Organizations (SROs) such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). While SROs are overseen by the SEC, they are not an official part of the Government. All brokerages with FINRA memberships submit to the organization's rules and regulations. These cover testing and licensure of agents and brokers. They also have a transparent disclosure framework that protects investors. Robinhood is a member of FINRA.
Investment accounts with Robinhood are covered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). It is a nonprofit membership corporation that does the job of protecting money invested in a brokerage that is financially shaky/files for bankruptcy/becomes insolvent. It was created in 1970 by Congress under the Securities Investor Protection Act (SIPA), and its focus is extremely narrow.
The SIPC doesn't have the authority to investigate or regulate its members. It's sole purpose is to restore investor funds (up to $500,000 for securities and cash or $250,000 for cash only per account) held by financially troubled brokerages. Luckily, RObinhood accounts fall under the SIPC's protection.
For most Robinhood users, the potential risks aren't necessarily associated with the regulatory framework covering their accounts. One of the biggest draws of Robinhood for young investors is how sleek and minimal it is. However, the minimalism also comes with the drawback that it only has rudimentary tools when compared to big brokerage firms like TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (AMTD) and E*Trade Financial Corporation (ETFC). This can cause novice investors to make uninformed decisions using RObinhood and lose a lot of money in the process.
Another problem with Robinhood is that managing a diversified portfolio is extremely difficult on it. If you read some user reviews, you'll discover that most people have said that Robinhood isn't practical for tracking three or more positions. This leads to investors loading their portfolios up with just one or two equities, which is never a good practice.
Robinhood doesn't offer a dividend reinvestment program either. However, the firm has said that it plans to introduce them in the future. There is no option to trade in bonds or mutual funds either, investors can only trade in stocks and ETFs. This adds to the risk of tilting your portfolio towards a singular asset class.
Robinhood doesn't integrate other financial management tools like Mint or Quicken as well. It's impossible to track holdings as a part of your overall financial picture outside the Robinhood app. Robinhood doesn't offer an IRA account option either, which excludes investors from the tax savings and long-term benefits of retirement savings plans.
Robinhood might serve as the right tool at the right time for a certain class of investor. In the case of long-term investors, IRA accounts with a mainstream broker are definitely a better option. In a majority of cases, you also get the option to open a no-minimum account and get commission-free trades on most ETFs while enjoying access to all of the data, charts, tools, and educational resources that will help you make the correct investment decisions.

5954번 - Dividing the Gold 다국어
Bessie and Canmuu found a sack of N (1 <= N <= 250) gold coins that they wish to divide as evenly as possible. Coin i has value v_i (1 <= V_i <= 2,000). The cows would like to split the pile as evenly as they can, but that is not always possible. What is the smallest difference between the values of the two piles?
In addition, the Bessie and Canmuu have found that there might be multiple ways to split the piles with that minimum difference. They would also like to know the number of ways to split the coins as fairly as possible. If it isn't possible to split the piles evenly, Bessie will get the higher-valued pile.
By way of example, consider a sack of five coins of values: 2, 1, 8, 4, and 16. Bessie and Canmuu split the coins into two piles, one pile with one coin worth 16, and the other pile with the remaining coins worth 1+2+4+8=15. Therefore the difference is 16-15 = 1. This is the only way for them to split the coins this way, so the number of ways to split it evenly is just 1.
Note that same-valued coins can be switched among the piles to increase the number of ways to perform an optimal split. Thus, the set of coins {1, 1, 1, 1} has six different ways to split into two optimal partitions, each with two coins.
Line 1: A single integer: N
Lines 2..N+1: Line i+1 contains a single integer: V_i
Line 1: A single integer that is the smallest difference of two partitions.
Line 2: A single integer that is the number of ways to split the coins with the minimum difference printed in line 1. Since this number can get quite large, print the remainder when divided by 1,000,000.

last week I submitted a paper proposal to StickyMinds on thoughts I came up with for Agile testers mainly influenced by the reocurring questions on how to test on Agile projects on the AgileTesting Yahoo-Group. Here is the essence of that paper. You can find the whole article here.
Agile Testers face the problem that there is few literature on how to test on Agile teams while there are a lot of recommendations for the development staff. Nevertheless Agile testers need to know the working habits of an Agile team. One thing reoccuring on the Agile-Testing group is the question how agilsm changes the way a tester works. Attracted by the principles in The Art of Agile Development from James Shore and Shane Warden here are those additions that apply for the testers on an Agile team. When appropriate I will make cross-references to chapters in their book, that also apply for testers on Agile teams.
Beside an Energized Work and Informative Workspace, a tester should be able to apply Root-Cause Analysis when finding severe bugs so that they are unlikely to reoccur. Furthermore Retrospectives help improving the overall process. Beside these practices from The Art of Agile Development Pair Testing is useful for improving the brain power on your daily work.
Pair Testing improves the work within the testing process – just like Pair Programming improves the brain power during development. Pair Testing can be applied with different expertise and techniques. Nearly all types of combinations are possible. An experienced tester can pair together with a junior tester or a customer may join a tester to help building test cases for a critical or difficult business logic. The feedback from the on-site customer can be spread to the programmer, when the tester pairs with a programmer while she is working on the story.
The first time I got to know pair testing was during a critical phase of a software replacement at a larger company. The department lead decided that I should pair together with another experienced tester with extensive on-site epxeriences from the user acceptance tests. We had a timeframe of four weeks left for the acceptance of our customer. Based on our previous working habits we would have needed three to four months of work that had to be done within one month. We were asked to exercise the user acceptance test cases documented and agreed with the customer. Our customer and user acceptance test team was located 1000 kilometers from our location and we needed more direct feedback for our development department. We both had quite impressive knowledge of the system under test, but each of us just knew one of the larger sub-systems very good. Therefore combining the knowledge of two adjacent views of the system lead to an impressive work-output. We managed to find critical bugs at a rate of ten per day. In the end we achieved to drive the development to meet the upper organisational goal within the given timeframe.
In the Collaborating section The Art of Agile Development lists many practices that are also worthwhile to apply to the testers in the team. When the team members Trust each other because they are Sitting Together and have an Ubiquitous Language, it is easier for the testers on the team to do the neccessary Bug Reporting.
Though No Bugs is a core practice under the Agile practices, during the development process of new functionality software defects slip in. When a tester finds a bug, it is up to his personal intentions on how to report it. Based on the particular level of Trust in the team there are several possibilities.
This is the easiest way for the tester. He simply builds a test case that catches the bug and submits it into the revision system. When using automated build tools the next automatic build that the tests are run on will show up with the bug and the developers start fixing it.
The classic approach to report bugs is of course by opening an entry in the projects bug tracking tool. The advantage here is that any additional information useful for the resolution of the bug, i.e. logfiles and screenshots, can be put in, too. The programmers will start to fix the issue when working on the bug.
For severe problems that need immediate attention during the fast paced devlopment cycle of an Agile team, a bug may be reported directly to the development lead in the team. This ensures immediate attention to the issue slipped in and makes sure that the bug can be resolved if it would lead to a critical outcome, i.e. during the iteration demo when Exploratory Testing is done in front of the stakeholders. Based on my experience this level requires the largest amount of Trust within the whole team.
Personally I prefer to do direct reports when appropriate. The flavour of throughing bugs back over the wall by opening some entry in the tracking tool or by writing a test which fails during the automatic build process which will sooner or later execute reminds too much to the days when software was thrown over the wall to the testers. Anyways it is usually better to open a bug or write a failing test for non-severe problems. Disturbing a programmer just due to some typo in the user interface does not account for the amount of thinking neccessary to get her back to work.
The Art of Agile Development mentions Customer Tests. Based on my personal impressions I would like to add a chapter named Business Facing Tests that is a combination of the original Customer Tests chapter and the Exploraty Testing chapter flavored with the personal realisations I came up with.
Business Facing Tests are the key compound for Agile testers. By defining test cases in terms of the business language the test cases can be defined simultanously with the software development work. Therefore they provide immediate feedback for the software under test and provide valueable feedback directly after the story is developed.
After establishing the first tests in FitNesse in my company I noticed the following on the next project. My test team was able to apply the same principles that are driving the development during Test-Driven Development just on a higher level. We were able to define test cases beside the development work. After adding some smaller fixtures the test cases could be directly run and provided immediate feedback on the code under test. Additionally I noticed that our developers noticed this improvement and started to ask us about input for their bugfixes. By concentrating on the business value we achieved to build up Trust between the members of the teams beside the fact that we managed to get enough time for Exploratory Testing.
Based on my experience Business Facing Tests result in quick feedback that is needed during the fast development cycles. While being able to give this feedback nearly instantly Test-Driven Development is applied on a higher level.

The Special Relationship: A Star-Spangled Friendship
EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is the first half of a two-part miniseries in which the FBB staff, with the help of a guest writer, will reexamine Britain and America's special relationship.
John O. Sullivan
"England and America are two nations divided by a common language"
-George Bernard Shaw, Irish Writer
The US and UK have an extensive and complex history together. In 1946, at the close of the Second World War and at the dawn of what would become known as the Cold War, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill gave his now-famous "The Sinews of Peace" speech on the future of Democracy and Peace in a world that had been ravaged by two World Wars in thirty years. He said this on the role of the US and UK in the future United Nations:
There is however an important question we must ask ourselves. Would a special relationship between the United States and the British Commonwealth be inconsistent with our over-riding loyalties to the World Organisation? I reply that, on the contrary, it is probably the only means by which that organisation will achieve its full stature and strength.
And so, Winston Churchill not only heralded the start of an era where the United States and Great Britain would be two of the most influential voices on the world stage, but he also coined the phrase "Special Relationship" to describe the extraordinarily close political, economic, and cultural ties between the U.S. and U.K.. With so much change afoot in the world today, and with Donald Trump's scheduled state visit to the U.K. to be debated by Parliament next week, it seemed as natural a time as any to reexamine the relationship between the UK and US, from both the perspective of an American and the perspective of a former Brit.
As an American, of course I know that when my nation was born, the British were a dire enemy. They had sought to control us unilaterally, and when we asked for a voice in our own governance, for the citizens of the American colonies to be treated as equals to the citizens of the British Isles, we were flatly denied again and again, for the British did not see us as equals, but as children to be seen and not heard.
As a native of Baltimore, I also know full well the history of "The Forgotten War" of 1812 where the British, having not learned their lesson 30 years earlier, came back for another ass whooping. We Marylanders were happy to oblige them. It was such an epic beatdown that they even wrote a song about it.
But, some time in the late 19th century, things started to change and all that animosity began to fade away. The first transatlantic cable running from Canada to Ireland brought two sides of the Atlantic closer together than ever before.The British developed the first steam engines, and Americans used them to settle the West. We gave them Jazz music, they gave us the Beatles. They accepted proper democracy, and we didn't rub it in their faces too badly. Over the years the United States and United Kingdom became, if not a united people, then two peoples with a united purpose: Peace and Democracy (with a little flavoring of Imperialism). America came to Britain's (and Democracy's) rescue not once but twice in less than thirty years, and those two wars forged our nations' friendship into a seemingly unbreakable bond. Millions of men from both countries returned home knowing a good deal more about each other than they had known before, and that had a substantial, if unmeasurable, cultural impact.
The Cold War served only to further unite our governments. The French showed their usual equivocation by helping to found NATO and the UN, and then pulling out of NATO, which left the United Kingdom and U.S. as the clarion voice of the West and of Capitalism on the World Stage. The Cold War led to the integration of our economies and militaries, and the formation of the still-active NATO alliance (suck it, communism). As America's military and economic power grew rapidly in the 50s and onward, it became clear who the true leader of the Western Coalition was. Not just symbolically, but diplomatically, economically, militarily, and culturally, the United States was the undisputed leader of the Capitalist West. When once the British Empire was the most powerful nation in the world, now it was the United States of America. As Britain once looked on America as a child, now America looks on Britain as a sort of little brother. Someone who should be supported and liked, even if they annoy you a bit sometimes.
And since then, not too much has changed. In 2015, Gallup ran a poll asking Americans how they felt about various other nations in the world. 90% of Americans had a favorable view of Great Britain, which was topped only by the 92% of people who had a favorable view of "America's Hat," Canada. America also has a $1.5 Billion trade surplus with the UK, so we have no reason to have any trade envy (CHINAAAAA!!!!!). Britain also wasn't afraid to have our backs in Iraq, so uhhh… thanks for that.
It is also worth nothing that great political movements in the U.S. and U.K. often mirror each other. The first (and only) British general strike happened at the same time that American labor unions were stretching their legs and turning into a force to be reckoned with. The conservative sentiment that elected and then re-elected Ronald Reagan also brought on the rise of Margaret Thatcher. Similarly, even though Tony Blair was not well-aligned with George W. Bush on domestic politics, they were in lockstep on foreign policy. This is why the current political situation in both countries makes so much sense. During the summer of 2016, Great Britain voted in referendum to leave the European Union, leading to the resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron. Just a few months later, with seemingly the same mindset of populism and isolationism, the United States voted to make Donald Trump its next President. It seems impossible to escape the notion that what affects one of us affects us both. We are two nations more united than any in history, and in short, we Americans might not have much to say about you Brits, but it's all positive and we love having you around.
Click here for the second half of the installment, covering the British perspective on the "special relationship," by guest writer, good friend, and British ex-pat I.V. Williams.

Home Immigration in the USA The Difficult Path to the American Dream: Immigrants are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain US citizenship
The Difficult Path to the American Dream: Immigrants are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain US citizenship
07.12.2019, 16: 46 EST A source: Pri
On a fall morning, Jonas Waldab arrived at the Paramount Theater in downtown Auckland, California. The landmark in the Art Deco style, built in the 1930's, resembles the golden age of Hollywood, with high ceilings and spiral staircases. Valdab, in an elegant dark suit, is dressed for a special occasion, like those around him: women in floral blouses, children in dresses and suits.

What else united them was the tiny US flags. Almost everyone was kept one at a time. The flags marked this event - the naturalization ceremony - and the end of a long journey that usually takes many years.
"God bless America, God bless the American people, these wonderful people. I am very happy to be a part of them, "said Valdab, who is from Eritrea. He then waved to his wife and two young children as they walked to the balcony to watch.
Hundreds of thousands of people participate in such ceremonies every year. They are overseen by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a federal agency. But the process of becoming a U.S. citizen under the Trump administration has become increasingly complex. Candidates face closer scrutiny, alleged increases in filing fees and long processing times - expectations that could prevent thousands of future U.S. citizens from voting in the 2020 general election.
Most immigrants must wait five years to qualify for citizenship. After that, the process usually progresses pretty quickly.
Everything has changed since President Donald Trump took office.
On the subject: 10 steps to naturalization: the process of obtaining US citizenship
Waldab waited over a year after he applied for citizenship to attend a naturalization ceremony - a wait typical of the Trump administration. At the national level, the expectation of citizenship is now an average of 10 months, almost double that of just two years ago. The wait can vary greatly depending on location. Apply for citizenship in Albany, New York and the waiting time ranges from 10,5 to 17 months. In Baltimore, the range is 9 to 22 months. In Las Vegas - from 13,5 to 18,5 months.
USCIS officials say they are overloaded with claims for naturalization. Indeed, a surge has occurred, but the increase in the number of applications is not new. The number of applications for citizenship usually increases in anticipation of the presidential election or fees.
However, the growth in the number of citizenship applications prior to the 2016 election of the year has not subsequently declined, as in the past. Applications were piling up as Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric of the campaign turned into executive orders and other measures that attempted to limit immigration. Some of the new policies may complicate the process of becoming legal permanent residents citizens. Attorney General William Barr has simplified the deportation of lawful permanent residents who commit certain crimes.
"The two-year spike in applications has resulted in a heavy workload for USCIS workers, and processing just can't keep up with demand," said Julia Gelatt of the Migration Policy Institute, an independent think tank in Washington, DC.
Avalina Cadena, originally from Mexico and came to the United States as a child, works at a Hispanic radio station near Seattle. She said Trump's victory in the presidential election convinced her to obtain citizenship.
"I'm afraid that the laws will change, and I will lose my green card," she said. After more than 15 months, Kaden's expectations swore in mid-November.
There was also a second side to a woman's decision to apply for citizenship: to vote in the 2020 presidential election. "Yes, yes, I want to vote," she said.
But people starting the naturalization process today may not become citizens until next year's election. Robert Preuss, a professor of political science at the University of Colorado at Denver, believes that about 157 000 people across the United States may miss their chance to vote in the 2020 year.
RELATED: Five Typical Reasons for Rejecting a Naturalization Application
In written statements, USCIS representatives said that the number of citizenship applications had "skyrocketed" under President Barack Obama, and that the agency hired new employees and opened new offices to keep up with the large number of applications and the backlog.
However, under Obama and previous administrations, waiting times were much shorter.
Building a strong democracy
Citizenship is "building our democracy," said Eric Cohen, executive director of the San Francisco-based Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC), a nonprofit organization that provides legal assistance to immigrants at the national level.
There are many new obstacles to participation. Over the years, the non-refundable fee for a naturalization application has steadily increased from a minimum of 35 dollars in the 1980's.
USCIS has proposed raising the current $ 640 filing fee to $ 1170 - an 83% increase. USCIS officials said the increase is needed to cover operating costs.
USCIS also made it difficult for low-income applicants not to pay a fee.
In one survey, about 18% of Latin American respondents identified financial and administrative barriers, including citizenship expenses, as the main obstacles to naturalization.
"If you have to choose between food, grocery or medicine and your naturalization application, what do you think people are forced to choose?" Said Emma Ibarra-Martinez, an immigration lawyer in Houston.
"It's becoming a luxury right now," she added.
Meanwhile, lawsuits related to delays and denials of naturalization cases have also skyrocketed, up 66% last year, up from five years earlier, according to researchers at the University of Syracuse.
"We check first"
At the Auckland Citizenship Ceremony, the mood was warm and welcoming. US immigration officials gathered on stage to celebrate people from all over the world.
Randy Ricks, USCIS Immigration Officer, listed all 97 countries represented by people in the audience, in alphabetical order, from Afghanistan, Canada and El Salvador to Guatemala, India, Mexico and Zimbabwe. Ricks not only greeted people in English, but also in Cantonese, Spanish, Hindi, French and Tagalog.
On the subject: How I became a citizen of America: the process of naturalization from A to Z
However, people like Ricks, a longtime USCIS employee who tries to greet new citizens in their own language, today are not setting the tone for USCIS at the national level. Agency management took a tough stance, shifting the mission from promoting citizenship to enforcing immigration laws.
In November, Cucinelli received a promotion. Trump called him acting deputy director of the Internal Security Service, which oversees the USCIS, immigration and customs authorities (ICE), and customs and border services (CBP).
Cucinelli became the spokesman for the immigration administration. It supports family custody and the termination of citizenship at birth. Last year, he compared migrants at the border with invaders who should be brought back.
Agency rebranding
Cucinelli helped rebrand USCIS by making it more about law enforcement and verification. "USCIS is conducting more thorough scrutiny of all types of immigration applications," Gelatt said.
Cohen and other lawyers point out that most citizenship applicants are green card holders who have been checked previously, often twice.
"This country is now your country"
Returning to the citizenship ceremony, Trump's face appeared on the big screen to convey a pre-recorded message.
"This country is now your country. Our story is now your story. And our traditions are now your traditions. You enjoy the full rights and sacred responsibilities that American citizenship has - very, very special, "the president said.
For many people at the ceremony, this message means great security in the United States, for which Alejandro Morales is grateful. After 30 years in the United States, Morales decided to obtain citizenship.
When the ceremony was over, everyone stood up, raised their right hand and took the oath of allegiance:
"I hereby swear under oath that I completely renounce and renounce all loyalty and devotion to any foreign prince, authorities, state or sovereignty of which or to which I have so far been a subject or citizen; that I will support and protect the Constitution and laws of the United States of America from all enemies, both foreign and domestic ... "
The oath lasts two solid minutes. However, for many here, it took years, and this process is becoming longer and more difficult for those who apply today.

Naturally, when most people think about the negative effects of air pollution, we think of the physical impact. However, a new study shines light on the potential for pollution to also affect our cognitive state and general sense of well-being.
This is an incredibly large data set that would indeed appear to be conclusive and is terrible news for China whose air pollution has been a continuing issue long after this 2014 data was collected.
This information is also not great news for the rest of the planet that suffers from other forms of air pollution that few people acknowledge. As Sofia Adamson recently highlighted for Waking Times, jet fuel is contributing heavily to poisoning the air, as each day more than 100,000 commercial flights take off around the globe. Jet fuel legally contains a range of damaging elements; and, as the writer acknowledges, this is without even considering the more controversial theories surrounding chemtrails and geoengineering.
Chemical and aerospace engineers have spent decades researching and developing highly efficient jet fuel. Ultimately, this has led to them adding aluminum, barium, strontium, and several other heavy metals to the fuel mixtures to help maximize efficiency and minimize cost.
Despite the known dangers of heavy metals like aluminum and barium, scientists have more than doubled the concentration of these toxic additives in jet fuel since 1996.
To make matters worse, many of the heavy metals used in jet fuel are added as nanoparticles – meaning the particle size is extremely small.
When heavy metals have a smaller particle size, this means they have a much easier time getting into your body and your bloodstream. With every contaminated breath we take, heavy metal nanoparticles are absorbed into your body and stored within your cells.
It's worth reiterating that the negative effects of exposure are cumulative, amplifying overall impact and potentially leading to a lengthening chain of physical and mental damage over time.
The article cited above contains valuable recommendations for chelation to detox the body of heavy metals, but it appears that we also would do well to boost our regimen of protective ingredients into our diet. Some of the dietary ingredients include flaxseed, olive oil, avocados, and tomatoes, as well as other staples from the Mediterranean Diet containing a high concentration of antioxidants that can protect the body and brain from degenerative disease. However, this latest study reveals that we would also do well to protect our minds from any additional toxic input above and beyond these purely physical considerations.

thinkWhere Online Mapping Tool Helps Falkirk Residents Access Essential Services
Stirling, Scotland, 23 May 2019 – Falkirk Council has rolled out a new online service that signposts essential services such as food banks, digital access and advice for residents. Working with Stirling based technology company thinkWhere, 'Our Falkirk' utilises open datasets and open source technology to develop a community web mapping solution overcoming barriers such as data sharing, licensing and costs.
Developed by thinkWhere and funded by the Open Data Institute, http://our.falkirk.gov.uk/ is part of Falkirk Council's Poverty Strategy.
"We know that poverty is both a cause and a consequence of poor access to services," commented Sally Buchanan, Fairer Falkirk Manager at Falkirk Council. "Services that provide money advice, access to food provision, digital access and community support are therefore crucial in supporting people."
Our Falkirk is grounded in the use of OpenStreetMap, often described as the 'wiki mapping platform', a powerful editable map resource. OpenStreetMap (OSM) is free to use and uses 'tags' to allow users to freely describe data in a way that meets their specific needs. Using OSM, thinkWhere developed a simple web-based user interface with four specific themes; Digital Access, Food Provision, Community Help and Advice and Council Advice.
"Web technologies, such as OpenStreetMap, have driven an explosion in the use of community created and maintained geographic data and for Our Falkirk to succeed we knew we needed to leverage the full flexibility of this data," added Alan Moore Chief Executive of thinkWhere.
Falkirk Council had already identified open data as a gateway to data sharing and making essential services more readily discoverable. Council held information on service provision was supplemented with information from community groups. Each service provider or outlet was added to the map and information about the service, such as description, contact information and opening times, translated to OSM tags.
"thinkWhere's technical expertise and innovative approach has enabled us to develop a product that will really help us reduce the impact of poverty on individuals, families and communities in the Falkirk area," concluded Buchanan. "We have also developed tools and working practices that can have wider community benefits both for Falkirk and other organisations."

CELBAN is a test of language proficiency for internationally educated nurses (IENs) who have completed their nursing education in another country and who speak English as a second language.
CELBAN is recognized as proof of language proficiency by all Canadian nursing regulators. In its 10th year, CELBAN has been a preferred option for many IENs, with 1,100 test administrations at six sites in Central and Western Canada.
CCLB was retained by the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators to benchmark the language demands of occupational therapists and physiothera-pists in Ontario. The Alliance worked in partnership with the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario and the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario. This is part of a larger initiative funded by the Government of Ontario which may include the development of an oc-cupation-specific language test for both professions.
CCLB's research team gathered qualitative data about authentic language use through observations and inter-views with occupational therapists and physiotherapists in a wide variety of professional practice settings throughout Ontario including hospitals, private clinics, rehabilitation units and specialized service clinics. The CLB standard was used to identify the complexity of observed and reported language tasks to determine the CLB levels associated with typical job tasks. CCLB's final report will inform the development of the proposed language assessment tool.
CCLB, in consultation with the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA) and with funding from HRSDC'S Foreign Credential Recognition Program, is benchmarking the language demands (in both official languages) of pharmacists in Canada.
Following an initial planning phase in late June 2010 in which a National Advisory Committee was established to provide guidance throughout the project, a benchmarking team was contracted to collect qualitative data through job shadowing and on-site workplace observations of authentic language use. Benchmarking data is currently being collected and analysis of the data has begun.
The final report will describe the benchmark level needed to complete speaking, listening, reading, and writing tasks required of pharmacists in Canada and will provide a clear blueprint of the language requirements required to work safely as a pharmacist in Canada, based on national standards. It may also inform the development of a nationally validated language assessment for internationally trained pharmacists. CCLB is working in close consultation with the NAPRA and other pharmacy industry and regulatory stakeholders on this initiative.
The board of the Canadian Alliance of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Regulators (CAASPR) has unanimously accepted CCLB's report describing the type, scope and composition of language use in the audiology and speech-language pathology workplaces. The report had two purposes: to inform the identification of existing language tools that can be used to determine the likelihood that internationally educated professionals will be able to handle the communication requirements associated with safe and effective practice in their chosen profession; and to inform a discussion regarding the need to develop a profession-specific language assessment tool.
CCLB's research team gathered qualitative and quantitative data about authentic English language use through observations and interviews at 20 audiology and 20 speech-language pathology sites and about authentic French language use at five audiology and five speech-language pathology sites. Data was also collected through telephone interviews, focus groups, surveys and analysis of a selection of workplace materials that audiologists and speech-language pathologists read and write. Interviews and observations took place in a wide variety of employment settings in regions throughout Canada.
A comprehensive list of language tasks that audiologists and speech-language pathologists perform as part of their jobs was compiled for both professions in English and French. Benchmarks were then assigned to the tasks. The number of tasks at specific benchmarks was tabulated and the level where most tasks fell was determined as the required Canadian Language Benchmark Level, understanding that audiologists and speech language pathologists also do many tasks at a lower and higher benchmark levels.
The findings showed that audiologists and speech-language pathologists carry out language tasks at a range of levels that are almost identical for both professions. The findings for French were also similar to those found in English.
CCLB was also able to map CLB/NCLC competencies onto CAASPR's competency profiles for both professions which confirmed that the language experts had seen a full range of tasks.
CCLB was retained by the Information & Communications Technology Council (ICTC) to carry out a language analysis of fourteen different workstreams or occupations in two work clusters based on the ICT Competency Profiles at the full working level. The main purpose of the project was to assess the language requirements in the sector for internationally trained individuals (ITIs) who seek work in the ICT sector in Canada, including those already in the country as well as potential immigrants still in other countries; and for people in the sector who may be required to work in the other official language or in both official languages of Canada.
An additional purpose of this project was to inform the content being developed for an online, self-directed assessment for ITIs to help improve their English and/or French skills.
This project required extensive facilitated consultations, surveying and/or testing in English and in French (where applicable) with stakeholders (ICTC partners, ICT industry experts, and people working in the industry) to establish both evidence and substantiation to validate and benchmark the ICT Competency Profiles and training materials.
CLB/NCLC levels determined as required to work in these occupations largely ranged from CLB/NCLC 7-10+. CCLB also developed some modules for the ICTC online learning website and a detailed description of the CLB/NCLC standards which is also posted on the ICTC website.

Red nail polish is such a classic. From a very young age I admired women with manicured nails is all shades of red and I partial think my passion for old Hollywood has to do with the red nails and lips! These days there are so many shades of red with so many undertones I thought I would share a free of my "ride or die" reds from the OPI brand.
I STOP for Red – (third) the perfect classic red, very traditional with a pretty neutral undertone but wears beautifully.

Welcome from the Dean
The academic, professional, and scientific relevance of medical education has long been justified by the needs and demands of society itself—and this has been made even more clear during 2020. Although doctors and physicians have existed since Antiquity, and the tradition of medical education can be traced back to the establishment of the first universities, its learning remains a living and constantly evolving process, striving for world-class excellence and continuous improvement.
The creation of the Ciudad Real Medical School was approved on the 8th of July 2010. From that moment on, together with its sister, the Albacete Medical School—with their shared educational program, which was verified in 2010 and again in 2017—both Medical Schools committed to innovative teaching and learning.
Our educational model is based on small groups of students, the importance of hands-on clinical experience, and a structured, rolling assessment system.
Our teaching, research, management, and outreach programs include the best human resources—highly skilled and motivated teaching professionals and supportive administrative and service staff. Classes are conducted in state-of-the-art installations, including laboratories, dissecting rooms, clinical skills rooms, and facilities at the Ciudad Real University General Hospital and the Ciudad Real and Miguelturra health care centers.
Our excellent staff and resources at our command are the best guarantee of success for our educational program. Furthermore, the Ciudad Real Medical School feels a responsible commitment towards our students and the wider society.
Our aim is for world-class but approachable learning.
While our goal is ambitious, the effort is truly worth it.
