Duke, Dizzy, Trane & Mingus: Jazz Titans (through Jan. 31)
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis present music of the Americas through the lens of four pioneering giants of jazz. Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, and Charles Mingus singularly pursued ancestral music, particularly from Africa and Latin America, and used their discoveries to broaden the horizons of their artistry and create new terrain for jazz.
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis will play selections from Ellington's Latin American Suite and Virgin Islands Suite; Coltrane's Olé Coltrane and Africa Brass; Mingus' Tijuana Moods; and various pieces from Gillespie's early Afro-Cuban era through his later work with the United Nations band, showing his evolution from Afro-Cuban to a more expansive Afro-Latin idiom. The JLCO with Wynton Marsalis will illuminate the historically important rhythmic distinctions, chant-based melodies, and modal soundscapes created as a result of these albums that forever changed the conception of the boundaries of jazz.
Free pre-concert discussion nightly, 7pm.
Jazz at Lincoln Center, Rose Theater
8PM / $50-$140

"Friends of Mabel: Heroes of Cabaret"
"The artful subtlety of the vocalist Mabel Mercer seems nearly unimaginable in our raucous age, and she is held in the highest esteem by the cabaret cognoscenti. An evening devoted to the legendary chanteuse features both historic film clips and live performances by such Mercer devotees as KT Sullivan, Steve Ross, and the team of Eric Comstock and Barbara Fasano."

A Pound of Flesh:
Exploring Qualities of Mercy When Encountering "the Other"
In spring 2013 Elements Theatre Company launched the "Arts in Conversation" panel series, where leaders in the arts, education, religion, media, and social outreach discuss the broad relevance of theatre in society. The Library for the Performing Arts hosts an "Arts in Conversation" panel, exploring the many complex and sometimes controversial subjects raised in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. Enjoy semi-staged readings interspersed with fascinating commentary about the continued relevance and impact of The Merchant of Venice.

Pharoah Sanders (through Feb. 1)
with William Henderson, piano; Nat Reeves, bass; and Joe Farnsworth, drums
"If there's anyone who has that quality of freedom, it's Pharoah. He's probably the best tenor player in the world." – Ornette Coleman
Legendary saxophonist Pharoah Sanders first rose to fame in the 1960s after joining the Sun Ra Arkestra and John Coltrane's later ensembles. An essential (and essentially divisive) component of free jazz's early days, Sanders was first recognized for his notoriously aggressive and huge tenor sound. Without losing any of his raw power–or his ability to quite literally make his instrument scream–Sanders quickly began to further expand upon and refine his craft into a more patient, melodic, and spiritually peaceful sound, working a unique beauty into the psychedelic spaciousness of Sun Ra, alongside the improvisational chops and compositional courage of contemporaries like John and Alice Coltrane. Virtuosic, harsh, and one-of-a-kind, Sanders still has the rare qualities that propelled his career for half a century, plus more tricks up his sleeve than ever.
Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, Jazz at Lincoln Center

♦ Before making final plans, we suggest you call the venue to confirm ticket availability, dates and times, as schedules are subject to change.
♦ NYCity (pop. 8.4 million) had 54 million visitors last year and quality shows draw crowds. Try to reserve seats in advance, even if just on day of performance.
Chelsea is the heart of the NYCity contemporary art scene. Home to more than 300 art galleries, the Rubin Museum, the Joyce Theater and The Kitchen performance spaces, there is no place like it anywhere in the world. Come here to browse free exhibitions by world-renowned artists and those unknowns waiting to be discovered in an art district that is concentrated between West 18th and West 27th Streets, and 10th and 11th Avenues. Afterwards stop in the Chelsea Market, stroll on the High Line, or rest up at one of the many cafes and bars and discuss the fine art – my fave is Ovest on W 27th St., where the aperitivo is like Happy Hour on steroids.
Here is a current exhibition that the NYT recommends:
'Disturbing Innocence' (through Jan. 31)
At the start of this entertaining and provocative exhibition organized by the painter Eric Fischl, you encounter ominous images of suburban homes in photographs by James Casebere and Gregory Crewdson, paintings by Peter Drake and a sculpture by Roy Lichtenstein. Moving into the main part of the exhibition you discover what goes on behind closed doors: a riot of polymorphous perversity in the form of paintings, photographs and sculptures, by more than 50 artists, representing children, dolls, mannequins, robots and toys.

By Komila Singh
Fujifilm a well-known brand in imaging technologies and it now has forayed into the Projector market by launching Fujifilm Projector Z5000 in India. It is slated to come with the world's first folded two axial rotatable lens. According to the company, the lens enables omnidirectional image projection without the need to move the main projector unit. Fujifilm Projector Z5000 not only projects the images on a wall or a screen, in fact, but it is also capable of projecting images on the ceiling as well as floor. It can also be switched between vertical and horizontal display.
Speaking about the launch, Mr. Haruto Iwata, Managing Director, Fujifilm India Pvt Ltd. said, "FP-Z5000 marks our entry into the projector market. We are committed towards bringing the best of global technology to the country.

Fujifilm Projector Z5000 pricing
Fujifilm Projector Z5000 comes equipped with a folded two axial rotatable lens that is capable of directing the lens up, down, front, rear, left and right in order to project images the images in any direction. The users are also allowed to project images on the ceiling as well as on the floor. It can also project images in portrait as well as landscape mode.
The company has used an ultra short-throw lens for Z5000 that can project images on a 100-inch screen from a distance of just 75cm. This capability reduces the amount of space needed between a projector and the screen.
The device comes with a lens shift function of up to 82 percent vertically and 35 percent horizontally. This allows the user to adjust the position of the image projected without shifting the position of the projector's main unit or lens direction. The newly launched Fujifilm Projector makes use of the large diameter spherical along with aspherical lens elements in order to reduce the image distortion as well as an aberration for stable projection of bright and vivid images.
However, the company has shared the pricing of the Fujifilm Projector Z5000 that will only be shared on request. But according to a UK website, it carries a price tag of £9,240.00 which translates to Rs 8,58,282.

Q: OOP abstraction vs encapsulation multiple definitions I am confused more and more when reading definitions of encapsulation and abstraction in different sources. It is really hard to decide which is the correct definition.
Encapsulation definition 1

Encapsulation : Encapsulation is the technique of making the fields in
  a class private and providing access to the fields via public methods

Encapsulation definition 2

Encapsulation is the procedure of covering up of data and functions
  into a single unit (called class).

Abstraction definition 1

Abstraction is a way of modelling a real world object with minimal
  information.

Abstraction definition 2

Exposing only the methods which are necessary.

Please help me in understanding the correct definition of these words mean related to OOP. A source to a book which explains the correct definitions would also be preferred.

A: Talking about code, an abstraction is simply a piece of code that describes a real world "thing". Most times you can't describe the whole "thing", but you can describe it's main characteristics, which, in your code, would be called attributes.
One example of an abstraction would be a Restaurant: You go, you ask for the menu and select whatever you want to eat... but you don't eat the paper: You select what you want looking at an abstraction of it (the menu)... that abstraction may just say "Eggs & Bacon", but when the waiter brings your order it has a pair of eggs (scrambled), two pieces of crispy bacon and some other things... The menu is just a simple abstraction of the real thing.
Take the Bicycle example in the Java Tutorials: The bicycle has attributes:

*

*Speed

*Gear

*Cadence

You're not interested (in this example) in any other characteristics of the bicycle... so this is an abstraction.
Now, about encapsulation: when writing code, you want your object's attributes to be modified only in a "propper" way: If you change the speed (again the Bicycle example) you may have to also change the cadence and/or change the gear. So you declare the attributes private and update them only through public methods, and, in these methods, you ensure that all the attributes have coherent values:
public class Bicycle {
    private int speed, gear, cadence;
    /**
     * Default constructor
     */
    public Bicycle() {
        speed = 0;
        gear = 1;
        cadence = 0;
    }
    /**
     * An example
     */
    public void setSpeed(int speed) {
        this.speed = speed;
        /*
           You can set the value of the other attributes here if you want to
         */
    }
    /**
     * Another example
     */
    public void gearUp() {
        if(gear < 5)
            gear++;
        /*
           Here you are preventing other methods to set the gear to
           a value higher than 5.
         */
    }
    /**
     * Another one
     */
    public void gearDown() {
        if(gear > 1)
            gear--;
        /*
           Here you are preventing other methods to set the gear to
           a value lower than 1.
         */

    }
}

A: Abstraction
Abstraction doesn't have to do with making methods private or public.  It has to do with recognizing what kinds of functionality are common to a type of class.
In java an abstract class takes one step further than an interface.  In interface says classes of type X have to do X,Y,Z. X,Y,Z can be implemented anyway you choose.
An abstract class says classes of type X have to do X,Y,Z but a method marked abstract has to be done a particular way, thus it's implemented in the abstract class (abstraction).
Encapsulation
It's just wrapping one or more things in another thing.  To simplify or to hide code.  One example of why you would want to do this is to simplify a flow.  If you want a user to be able to shut down a computer for example you can could either have a bunch of method for someone to call explicitly:
Util.shutdownApps();
Util.shutdownServices();
Util.shutdownScreenAndKeyboard();
Util.poweroff();

If you want to shut down in a particular way or just make it easier for someone to shut down you could encapsulate it:
Util
    public void shutdown(){
    Util.shutdownApps();
    Util.shutdownServices();
    Util.shutdownScreenAndKeyboard();
    Util.poweroff();
    }

  private shutdownApps(){...}
  private shutdownServices(){...}
  private shutdownScreenAndKeyboard(){...}
  private poweroff(){...}

A: Take for instance the two code snippets below:
// Snippet #1
public static void Main(){
    int sum = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i <= 1000; i++) {
        sum += i;
    }
    System.out.println(sum);
}

In the snippet above, you the program is computing the sum of all the integers from 0 up to 1000. You can see how the computation is done, and you have control over the variable that stores the value of the sum.
// Snippet #2

public class Adder {
    private int sum;

    public Counter(){
        this.sum = 0;
    }

    public void add(int value){
        this.sum += value;
    }

    public int getSum(){
        this.sum;
    }
}

public static void Main(){
    Adder adder = new Adder();
    for (int i = 0; int <= 1000; i++) {
        adder.add(i);
    }

The snippet above does the same task, but differently. There is a class that provides the two characteristics you were questioning about. It provides is an abstraction to systematically add numbers, and also encapsulates the details of how the computation is made. In other words, it separates the concern of adding numbers and how it works from the task of iterating the numbers from 0 to 1000 (in the Main function).
In this example:

*

*abstraction is the concept of adding numbers, so you would have a different abstraction for each different type of idea

*encaptulation is the separation of the details of implementation from the main program. That is, you could create a new class for the same type of abstraction but uses a different implementation (a long rather than un int, for example).

Following extensive expansion, IT and security operations provider Ivanti took a larger floor within their existing building. The development of its Bracknell office is the second in a series of national workplaces being created for Ivanti, which was formed following the merger of LANDESK and HEAT Software in January 2017 and previous acquisitions of Wavelink, Shavlik, Xtraction, AppSense, Concorde and RES.
Working with project manager Francis Hunter, Area were tasked with delivering the Cat B refurbishment of 3 Arlington Square, which is the location of LANDESK's former offices. Having completed the original project of LANDESK's earlier workplace project, Area have used their existing knowledge of the building, as well as working closely with Ivanti's project team to create a modern and fresh-looking workplace design.
As a result of numerous design workshops, brief building sessions with the client, as well as interactive 'sketch-up' meetings with the stakeholder team, Ivanti's new workplace has been designed to inspire, connect and increase the productivity and happiness of its staff. All staff are located on one floor plate to provide a connected, visible and collaborative workspace.
Key features include a range of flexible meeting spaces, a central tea point, and breakout hub. Wanting to offer an innovative client experience for visitors, the front-of-house space will feature an experience centre, as well as modern and relaxed demonstration areas for customers to test Ivanti's latest products.
"It was great to work with Area on this project. From the offset they understood our brief and really immersed themselves in our culture to ensure we had the perfect new space. During the fit-out they were in control, well organised and professional."

Rosie O'donnell broke up the family of his godfathers
Oh, times, Oh, morals! Media reported that the divorce Broadway actress This Schiff and her husband Scott had a hand in Rosie O'donnell, the one who last year wanted a daughter, gone from the house. Then the police found the "lost" in the house of her boyfriend, because the girl was not eighteen years of age, returned to her home. But at home she did not stay, gave a very interesting interview in which he told that the mother of Rosie has always been useless.
According to the publication, RadarOnline, the cause of This divorce with her husband became a multimillionaire its relationship with the godmother Rosie O'donnell ( Given you have the godmother of the daughter of O'donnell). This is confirmed by several insiders.
Supposedly Dana started to go to her friend, barely putting the kids to bed. At first it did not arouse suspicion, but she soon began to disappear from the house so often that even the Concierge began to suspect that Rosie is having an affair. Who would have thought that the object of sympathy can be her own godfather. Soon changed the behavior of Schiff.
"Dana, brilliantly played in "Cats" and "Les Miserables", but soon turned into a completely different person. She stopped wearing dresses, which had cut her hair short.. She became like this because of the relationship with Rosie," said the insider. The husband of actress as she could, kept her from divorce, but it wasn't it was Given, and the couple divorced. Rosie in 2015, already divorced with his second wife. Rumor has it that it involved a "third party". No wonder that adopted daughter O'donnell wanted to quickly change their place of residence.

In the 17th and 18th centuries Hotwells, near Bristol, became a popular resort due to the spring waters found here. St Vincent's Rock was the site of the largest spring. Water at this spot reached a temperature of 76 degrees celsius and emerged at a rate of 60 gallons per minute.
By the end of the 18th century the popularity of the resort had declined. There had been increasing frequency of water contamination, in some cases leading to fatalities. Bath, situated only 12 miles away, as well as offering its visitors spa-waters, had many other attractions and was a town of refined distinction. Hotwells could not compete and gradually the holiday businesses either became bankrupt or closed down completely.

Russia defends the Minsk Agreements and status quo in Ukraine's East

kyivpost
The new plan for peace in Ukraine's east, disclosed by Ambassador Martin Sajdik (see EDM, January 30, 2019) and the reactions to it from Kyiv, Moscow, Donetsk and Luhansk (see below), illustrate three basic facts about the Russian-imposed Minsk "agreements" and their non-implementation from 2014/2015 to date.
First, as is generally recognized, "the Minsk agreements do not work"; more to the point, they do not work the way Moscow designed them against Ukraine, because Ukraine has immunized itself militarily, legally and politically from those "agreements' " destructive potential.
Moscow, Donetsk and Luhansk have instantly perceived Sajdik's plan as threatening their own conception of the Minsk "agreements" as inviolable, immutable and "obligatory" on Ukraine. In particular, Sajdik's plan jeopardizes the status of the Minsk dispensation as "without alternative," since Sajdik's plan itself outlines a possible alternative—albeit suboptimal, compared with the 2017 US-Ukrainian initiative for a UN-led peacekeeping operation. Although parts of Sajdik's plan contravene Ukraine's interests while favoring Russia's (see EDM, January 30, 2019), Moscow and Donetsk-Luhansk have attacked Sajdik's plan vituperatively, and his person scurrilously.
The Kremlin's authorized voice, Aleksei Chesnakov, responded: "The Minsk agreements must be fully carried out. Any talks about 'adding to' and 'further development of' Minsk, are manipulative attempts at enabling Ukraine to avoid its obligations". Initially assuming that Sajdik was acting on his own initiative, tolerated by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Chesnakov warned the latter: "The OSCE's own representative is casting this organization's effectiveness into doubt. The OSCE's official, responsible for the fulfillment of the Minsk agreements, is attempting to renege on them." Sajdik's was an "empty document," "unworthy of serious consideration," "incomprehensible to anybody…even to him." "Obviously fatigued at the end of his career, he tries to propose at least something, so as not to look so helpless" (TASS, January 28, 2019).
Chesnakov is generally deemed the public voice of Vladislav Surkov, Kremlin overseer of the Donetsk and Luhansk "people's republics" (DPR, LPR). Shortly after his initial reaction, Chesnakov reconsidered and exculpated the OSCE: "It has now become obvious that the United States is behind Sajdik's plan. This is not Sajdik's plan, not even the OSCE's plan. This is [Kurt] Volker's plan. Sajdik was simply ordered to air it. Volker unleashed Sajdik" (TASS, January 31, 2019).
The US State Department's special representative Volker was the counterpart to Chesnakov's own chief, Surkov, in the negotiations on a possible UN-led peace mission in Ukraine's east (2017–early 2018), which Surkov has broken off. The Kremlin suspects, not entirely without reason, that Sajdik's plan seeks to float a B-grade version of that 2017 concept.
Moscow's chief representative in the Minsk Contact Group, Boris Gryzlov, also attacked the OSCE and personally Sajdik, his regular counterpart in the Minsk forum: "The OSCE's Special Representative [Sajdik] is thereby admitting to his own incompetence… The road to peace in Donbas leads through the exact fulfillment of the Minsk agreements." Within the Contact Group, Gryzlov said, "Russia continually works to impress upon the parties that a political settlement under the Minsk agreement has no alternative" (TASS, January 29, 2019).
Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has preserved the diplomatic decorum (at least pending foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova's weekly spectacle). The ministry's pan-European cooperation department director, Andrei Kelin, pointed out that "Sajdik's personal plan is not supported by the Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics. Only with their agreement would it be possible to move forward" (TASS, January 29, 2019). This is, in Russia's view, an iron-clad component of the Minsk "agreements" and the Contact Group's negotiations: decisions require a negotiated consensus between Kyiv and Donetsk-Luhansk (i.e., their veto power).
The DPR's and LPR's "foreign affairs ministers," Natalia Nikonorova and Vladislav Deynego, respectively, followed the Surkov-Chesnakov cue in attacking Sajdik and the OSCE. The Sajdik plan is "irresponsible, in view of his coordinator's role"; it "casts the OSCE's effectiveness into doubt" and aims to "sabotage the Minsk process. Any disruption of the implementation of the Minsk documents is unacceptable. They codify the only peaceful settlement plan, without alternative." The OSCE and Sajdik must react to Ukraine's evasion of its obligations under the Minsk agreements" (TASS, Donetskoye Agentstvo Novostei, Lugansk Infotsentr, January 28, 2019).
Moscow's and its proxies' remarks demonstrate, in their content and their tenor, a fierce resolve to preserve the status of the Minsk dispensation as the sole basis for negotiations, at least in theory. From a different perspective and different motives, the German and French governments also insist on the sacrosanct nature of the Minsk "agreements." This stance both explains and guarantees deadlock in the forums that those "agreements" begat, namely the Normandy Forum (Russia, Germany, France, Ukraine) and the Minsk Contact Group (Russia, Ukraine, OSCE, "DPR" and "LPR"). Secondly, Moscow and even Donetsk-Luhansk apparently feel free to show their disrespect for the OSCE—which is hardly surprising in view of this organization's displays of weakness vis-a-vis Russia in the "frozen conflicts" during the last 25 years.
All of this vindicates Ukraine's serial decisions from 2015 to date to protect itself against the implementation of the political clauses of the Minsk documents. It vindicates, as well, the Donald Trump administration's policy (unlike that of the preceding administration) to work in tandem with Ukraine around, not within, the traps set by the Minsk system.

Whilst the Companies Ordinance in Hong Kong provides that a scheme of arrangement may be carried out for the purpose of a debt restructuring, it makes no provision for a moratorium on creditor enforcement processes during the time in which the scheme is in progress. For a time, the courts filled this legislative lacuna by placing companies into provisional liquidation and empowering the provisional liquidators to pursue a corporate rescue with the benefit of the statutory moratorium on creditor enforcement processes that is triggered upon a provisional liquidation. However, a 2006 decision of the Court of Appeal casts doubt on the viability of this approach. These doubts have lingered since then though the courts have continued from time to time to tolerate provisional liquidations for restructuring purposes. The recent decision in Re China Solar goes some way to allaying these doubts.
Unlike many jurisdictions, Hong Kong does not have a statutory regime designed to facilitate a restructuring of a company's debt, thus enabling the company to effect a rescue, avoid liquidation and continue as a going concern. Whilst the Companies Ordinance ("CO") does provide for schemes of arrangement to bind creditors to a restructuring proposal, there is no statutory moratorium to restrict creditors from frustrating the scheme by placing the company into liquidation before the scheme can be approved.
The courts have stepped in to fill the legislative lacuna and recent developments in the caselaw suggest that there is greater room than many practitioners have previously thought possible to leverage the winding-up provisions of Companies (Winding-up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance ("CWUMPO") to facilitate a corporate rescue.
CWUMPO provides that where a winding-up order is made against a company or where a provisional liquidator is appointed in respect of a company, no action or proceeding may be proceeded with or commenced against the company except with the leave of the court. For just over 15 years, the courts have grappled with the circumstances in which this statutory moratorium can be used to effect a corporate rescue.
The starting point for this discussion is Re Keview Technology, where the court observed that CWUMPO neither circumscribes the circumstances in which a court may appoint a provisional liquidator nor restricts the powers which the court may grant to a provisional liquidator. Accordingly, whilst the appointment of a provisional liquidator has traditionally been made to preserve and protect assets as a matter of urgency, the court held that there was no jurisprudential objection to empowering provisional liquidators to explore a corporate rescue.
Re Keview Technology appeared to open the door to using provisional liquidation as a means to effect a corporate rescue, taking advantage of the statutory moratorium available under CWUMPO on appointment of a provisional liquidator and the fact that provisional liquidation inherently takes place before a winding-up order has been made. Indeed, at first, it was thought that so long as it was intended that it was likely that a winding-up order would be made if a rescue did not come to fruition, it was permissible to appoint a provisional liquidator for the express purpose of such a rescue.
However, in Re Legend International, the Court of Appeal clarified that it was impermissible to appoint a provisional liquidator for the express purpose of pursuing a rescue and that a provisional liquidator could only be appointed for the purpose of a winding-up. The court stated:
"…it is clear on the wording of those sections that the appointment of a provisional liquidator must be for the purposes of a winding-up. Provided that those purposes exist there is no objection to extra powers being given to the provisional liquidator(s), for example those that would enable the presentation of an application [for a scheme of arrangement]…
The power of the court under section 192 is to appoint a liquidator or liquidators for the purposes of the winding-up not for the purposes of avoiding the winding-up."
Compatibility of Rescue and Winding-Up
Following the decision in Re Legend International, many practitioners thought that, strictly speaking, it was not possible to appoint a provisional liquidator to effect a corporate rescue on the basis that a corporate rescue was incompatible with the purpose of a winding-up, namely to see to the liquidation of the company. However, as one court noted "the reality is that on occasions the jurisdiction, despite the decision in Re Legend International Resorts Ltd…, has continued to be used as a mechanism through which the debt particularly of listed companies is restructured".
The recent decision in Re China Solar confirms that the decision in Re Legend International is not as hostile to corporate rescues as some practitioners had thought. In particular, the court held that whilst it is true that a provisional liquidator must be appointed for the purposes of a winding-up, the purposes of a winding-up are not limited to the liquidation of the company but include the preservation of the assets of the company in the event that a liquidation were to take place. As the court stated:
"The law has never been that provisional liquidation is meant to lead to a winding-up. The law has always been that a provisional liquidation is meant to ensure that the operation of a winding-up would not be frustrated, if there is a winding-up…" [emphasis added]
Restructuring to Protect Assets
The court in Re China Solar stated "a restructuring is in many circumstances consistent with the provisional liquidator's duty to preserve assets", emphasizing in this regard that "a reduction of the company's liabilities is the correlative of the protection of its assets". In so saying, the court commented that Re Legend International "was merely affirming the conventional commencement criteria for provisional liquidation", suggesting that a debt restructuring was consistent with a provisional liquidator's objective of asset protection, as long as the appointment of a provisional liquidator was properly justified on the grounds of preserving assets in jeopardy.
In many cases, the justification may lie in form over substance. Citing Re Legend International the court in Re China Solar affirmed:
"There is, nevertheless, a significant difference between the appointment of provisional liquidators on the basis that the Company is insolvent and that the assets are in jeopardy and the appointment of provisional liquidators solely for the purpose of enabling a corporate rescue to take place. The difference, may, in most cases, be merely a matter of emphasis, but in the final analysis the difference exists." [emphasis added]
In this regard, the court in Re China Solar explained that the view taken by the court in Re Legend International was merely an emphasis that:
"[W]here the matters associated with a winding-up are absent, in particular where the company's assets are not in jeopardy, it would not be appropriate to order a provisional liquidation, despite the company's general need for a restructuring."
As to whether there are assets in jeopardy which could justify the appointment of a provisional liquidator, the court in Re China Solar stressed that "[i]t has never been the law that a potential loss of assets solely consequent upon a winding-up means the assets are in jeopardy and this jeopardy can support the appointment of provisional liquidators." Accordingly, it remains significant to identify the assets at risk in each case for provisional liquidation purposes.
Taking both decisions together, it appears that a corporate rescue is nevertheless permissible so long as the grounds for provisional liquidation are framed on the basis of a debt restructuring to protect assets in jeopardy rather than on the basis of a debt restructuring to avoid a winding-up altogether.
Listing Status as An Asset
The court in Re China Solar determined that whilst the listing status of a listed company is not a type of asset that can be distributed on a winding-up, it is nevertheless an asset and a provisional liquidator can be appointed to protect this asset. This is not to say that a mere risk of de-listing by the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong ("SEHK") can found the basis for appointing a provisional liquidator. The court noted that a provisional liquidator may be appointed to investigate the affairs of the company and where the circumstances of the company being subjected to the risk of de-listing are worthy of investigation, the need for such an investigation can found the basis for provisional liquidation. In this case, there were accounting and management irregularities which had not been explained satisfactorily to the SEHK.
Summary of the Law
As a result of Re China Solar, it appears that whilst a provisional liquidation is not always available to effect a corporate rescue, there will be many circumstances in which it will be a viable alternative.
A threshold issue to the appointment of a provisional liquidator to effect a corporate rescue is that it is likely that a winding-up order would be made. Normally, this will mean that the company is unable to pay its debts.
If this threshold issue is met, there must be a proper purpose for the provisional liquidation, namely to safeguard against the risk of dissipation of the company's assets or the need for an independent investigation of the affairs of the company including in respect of officer malfeasance. In the former regard, it is improper to pursue the provisional liquidation to pursue a restructuring whose objective is to obviate a winding-up. However, it may be proper to pursue the provisional liquidation to effect a restructuring where there are assets at risk that require preservation by a provisional liquidator.

Hiring venues for new Northamptonshire authorities' first meetings will cost more than £22,700
West and North Northants councils needed somewhere big enough to provide Covid-19 compliant space

The cost of hiring venues for the first meetings of Northamptonshire's two new authorities will be £22,760 and provided out of government funding for Covid-19.
West Northamptonshire Council and North Northamptonshire Council needed to hire venues big enough to provide Covid-19 compliant space to accommodate their councillors, council staff, public and the media.
None of their own buildings could provide sufficient space to allow safe social distancing for the numbers expected to attend.
All local authorities must now hold meetings in public after the Government announced that emergency legislation regarding virtual council meetings will not be extended beyond May 7.
North Northamptonshire Council, which has 78 councillors, is due to hold its first meeting at Kettering Conference Centre on Wednesday (May 26) starting at 7pm.
The cost to the council for hiring the venue for the meeting is £14,400 plus VAT.
A spokesman for NNC said: "The first annual council meeting for North Northamptonshire Council will be held on Wednesday 26 May at 7pm.
"In response to the government statement that virtual council meeting powers will not be extended and Covid-compliance will still need to be robustly followed, the first North Northamptonshire Council meeting will be held at Kettering Conference Centre.
"This venue offers the required space to ensure the health and safety of attending members.
"Former council chambers are not of sufficient size to ensure Covid-compliance for all involved in the meeting.
"This is an additional cost (£14,400 plus VAT) for the council, like many other authorities across England.
"Every effort will be made to ensure formal council meetings remain accessible to the public, arrangements for which are being finalised."

WNC, which has 93 councillors, was due to hold its first meeting on May 20 at Franklin's Gardens, the home of Northampton Saints starting at 6pm.
The fee to the council for hiring the venue will be £8,360 which, like North Northamptonshire's bill, will be paid out of funding provided to local authorities by the Government to deal with the costs of the pandemic.
A spokesman for WNC said: "Initially all internal venues were assessed and none were found to be able to safely and legally accommodate the meeting.
"Then a list of 17 external options were identified (including schools, community centres, theatres and hotels). Each was then assessed for capacity, availability, accessibility, suitability and cost.
"Of the small number that met the base criteria, the Saints was agreed as the most suitable and safe.
"The cost of this meeting will be covered by the funds provided by the Government to meet the cost associated with the response to Covid-19."

Q: Disable timerTrigger for Azure Function after they are deploy from Node ( typescript) for testing purposes I am currently testing a server-less application in Azure. The problem is like this: I need to make a change in a database and then check that the change is sent to an event hub. The problem is that the Azure function is setup with a timerTrigger ( every 5 minutes ). So, in my test, I would like to deactivate the timerTrigger, So I don't have an unexpected run for the function ( Then in the test, I can run it when I want ).
I am using typescript to code my test. is there an SDK that allow me to do that ?
I know I can do it with powershell:
az functionapp config appsettings set --name <myFunctionApp> \
--resource-group <myResourceGroup> \
--settings AzureWebJobs.CheckAssetOnTimerTrigger.Disabled=true

Thank you!

A: Behind the scenes the way you disable is, as you've shown, with an app setting.  There is a direct REST API that lets you update or add app settings so as long as you have auth (something like MSI could provide this) to the function app you could update it from there.
That said for the scenario above I wonder if Azure Durable Functions may be a better fit.  After a change happens in the database it would kick off an instance of a durable function that would keep checking event hubs.  Or manually invoke.  That way you aren't trying to use a standard timer that will keep pinging.  I did a similar-ish pattern a few months ago to give you an idea. Not sure if that will work.

Q: Cascade Update Oracle I have the following tables:
CREATE TABLE supplier
( supplier_id numeric(10) not null,
supplier_name varchar2(50),
contact_name varchar2(50),
CONSTRAINT supplier_pk PRIMARY KEY (supplier_id)
);

CREATE TABLE products
( product_id numeric(10) not null,
supplier_id numeric(10),
CONSTRAINT fk_supplier
FOREIGN KEY (supplier_id)
REFERENCES supplier(supplier_id)
ON DELETE SET NULL
);

I need to cascade update the the primary key in 'supplier' and hence foreign key in 'products'. I am thinking of a cursor with a trigger to update child table, but cannot figure out how that could be

A: Normally, you'd structure your data model such that primary keys are immutable in order to avoid the problem in the first place.
If you absolutely need to allow for cascading updates, you probably want to use Tom Kyte's cascading update script.  For each table, this will dynamically generate a package and three triggers (before statement, before row, and after statement) that will implement all the logic needed to cascade the update.  This is likely to be vastly more efficient (and more accurate) than anything that a single developer would knock together.  Just because of the rather large number of objects that need to be created, though, it's a pretty heavy overhead to maintain.

Sexism, racism and bullying are driving people out of tech, US study finds
A first-of-its-kind report analyzed the reasons why tech workers leave their jobs, and found a common thread of sexual harassment, bullying and stereotyping

Sexual harassment, bullying and racist stereotyping are common in the technology industry, creating a culture that drives underrepresented employees out of their jobs, new research has found.
One in 10 women in tech experience unwanted sexual attention, and nearly one in four people of color face stereotyping, according to the Kapor Center for Social Impact and Harris Poll, which surveyed more than 2,000 people who left tech jobs in the last three years.
Startup workers see sexual harassment on 'breathtaking' scale in Silicon Valley
The findings – which suggest that sexual harassment and complaints about unfairness are disproportionately high in the tech sector compared to other industries – come at a time of heightened debates around diversity and discrimination in Silicon Valley.
"For each person who experiences unfairness, it's very personal and it's very painful," said Ellen Pao, Kapor's chief diversity and inclusion officer and former Reddit CEO, who has been outspoken about discrimination. "As someone who has been working in the tech industry since 1998, I know it's prevalent, and now we have the data so people can understand the scale."
A former Uber engineer's recent account of facing rampant sexism and sexual misconduct has shined a harsh light on a startup culture that is dominated by white men and condones mistreatment of marginalized employees. Critics have increasingly argued that tech firms dedicated to "disruption" are rejecting labor standards while male executives ignore complaints about discrimination and do little to fix systemic pay disparities.
The Tech Leavers Study released on Thursday is the first report of its kind to analyze the reasons why tech workers voluntarily leave their jobs and paints a picture of turnover driven by hostile work environments.
Tech workers most frequently cited "unfairness or mistreatment" as the reason for leaving, a factor that was mentioned twice as much as recruitment for better opportunities. Underrepresented men of color were the group most likely to leave due to unfairness, with 40% citing that reason. A total of 78% of employees said they experienced some form of "unfair behavior or treatment".

Women of color in particular reported high rates of facing discrimination. Thirty percent of underrepresented women said they were passed over for a promotion, a rate significantly higher than white and Asian women. Additionally, unwanted sexual attention was reported at rates almost twice as high among employees in the tech sector compared to tech employees in other industries, the survey found. Of those who said they faced sexual harassment, 57% said those experiences contributed to their departures.

LGBT tech workers were the most likely to experience bullying and hostility, with 25% citing "rude and condescending behavior" and 24% saying they were publicly humiliated or embarrassed. A majority of queer employees (64%) said bullying contributed to their decision to leave.
The authors of the report argued that the cost of this kind of unnecessary turnover due to workplace issues was immense. Based on estimates of average costs for replacing employees in tech jobs, the annual cost to tech companies for turnover due to unfairness could be $16bn, the report said. A large tech firm that pays 10,000 engineers an average of $100,000 could lose $27m due to their workplace culture pushing employees out, the survey said.
The report suggested that strong diversity and inclusion initiatives, such as explicit diversity goals, unconscious bias trainings, employee resource groups and bonuses for referrals of diverse candidates, can significantly improve retention.
Previous studies have suggested that women make up only 25% of the tech workforce, and that at the largest companies, such as Apple, Google and Facebook, black and Latino employees combined represent only 3-5% of employees.
