Putin Won't Be Able to Liquidate Non-Russian Republics Anytime Soon, Analyst Says
Staunton, February 11 – Many leaders in both Soviet and post-Soviet times recognized that the Leninist national-territorial division of the country created many problems and even represented what some have called "a delayed action mine" under the continued existence of either the USSR or the Russian Federation.
And both then and now, some of them have wanted to do away with republics in the name of saving the country, but writing in Nazaccent.ru today, Elizaveta Karmanova point out that they have not been able to do so because neither of the conditions that might allow for such a change has been present (nazaccent.ru/content/14785-plan-edinstva.html).
The journalist who specializes on ethnic issues argues that "any cardinal transformations in the territorial division of the country are possible only in two situations" – the total collapse of the state and the need to reconstitute it from square one or "when the country is unusually strong and stable in all respects" and can take such a step consciously and with "the support of the overwhelming majority of the population."
"Thank God," she says, Russia is not living through "anything like the catastrophic cataclysms comparable with the revolutions of 1917." But at the same time, while the country is more consolidated than at any time since 1991, "it would be an exaggeration to say that the economic situation in our state is perfectly fine" or that Russians consider this a task of first importance."
Consequently, Karmanova argues, "discussion of issues of the transformation of the administrative division of Russia" should be, if Russians are wise, "put off until better times" -- or at least times when "at a minimum" things are "more prosperous than now."
To make her point about how difficult any changes would be and how conditions have to be just right for them to be attempted, she recalls the 2006 memoir of Arkady Volsky, who served as an economic advisor to Soviet leader Yury Andropov who had "an idee fixe" about the need to "liquidate" the non-Russian republics (kommersant.ru/doc/704123).
In his article, Volsky said that Andropov had told him that "let's end the national divison of the country" and asked him to come up with a Soviet Union whose territorial divisions would be based not on ethnicity but on the basis of population and economics alone. In short, the economic advisor wrote, Andropov asked him to "draw a new map of the USSR."
Volsky says that he and his staff came up with 15 different scenarios, but Andropov "didn't like any of them." Then he went back, consulted with others, and reduced them to three, none of which allowed any role for ethnicity. What Andropov might have done is unclear, but he took to his bed and soon died.
Had that not happened, Andropov might have been able to have his way, and, in Volsky's words, "the secretaries of the Central Committees who later became heads of independent states would have stormily applauded the wise decision of the party" and history might have been very different.
By the time Andropov's successor Mikhail Gorbachev suggested dividing the USSR into 50 states, it was too late. Things had gone too far. And his suggestion has exactly the opposite effect he hoped for: It contributed to the demise of the USSR, another case when incautious talk about suppressing republics can become a greater threat than allowing them to continue to exist.

Q: Android - View.post() does not modify TextView from onCreate() Why does this not change my TextView's text ? I have a TextView who's text I try to modify from a view.post method. What am I doing wrong here ?
mTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text_view);

new Thread(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        mTextView.post(new Runnable(){
            @Override
            public void run() {
                mTextView.setText("A change in text, thank you very much");
            }
        });
    }
}).start();

This runs in the Activity's onCreate() method. However, if I define a handler and pass the Runnable to the handler the TextView is modified.
Edit:
The code I have here is based on the example:
public void onClick(View v) {
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            final Bitmap bitmap =
                    loadImageFromNetwork("http://example.com/image.png");
            mImageView.post(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    mImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
                }
            });
        }
    }).start();
}

at http://developer.android.com/guide/components/processes-and-threads.html
Edit 2:
Now I am totally confused. When I run the same code from an onClickListener attached to a Button in my Activity, the TextView's text is indeed manipulated. Why did this not happen in the onCreate method ?

A: In order to update a text view in activity you must use runOnUiThread
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        mTextView.setText("A change in text, thank you very much");
    }
});

You can use With using AsycTask to load your Image in a Imageview
public class ImageLoadTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Bitmap> {

    private String url;
    private ImageView imageView;

    public ImageLoadTask(String url, ImageView imageView) {
        this.url = url;
        this.imageView = imageView;
    }

    @Override
    protected Bitmap doInBackground(Void... params) {
        try {
            URL urlConnection = new URL(url);
            HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) urlConnection
                    .openConnection();
            connection.setDoInput(true);
            connection.connect();
            InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();
            Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
            return myBitmap;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
        super.onPostExecute(result);
        imageView.setImageBitmap(result);

       // you can also update your textview here

    }

}

And Call this Task On Your Onclick
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // pass your url and your imageview
                // eg :http://example.com/image.png
                // imageView=(your ImageView)
                   new ImageLoadTask(url, imageView).execute();
            }
        });

A: Why you are running your code inside another thread? all the UI operations works only in the UI thread..try executing only the below code
mTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text_view);
mTextView.post(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        mTextView.setText("A change in text, thank you very much");
    }
});

A: Just run without new Thread(new Runnable()

     mTextView.post(new Runnable(){

         @Override
         public void run() {

             // anything you want
         }
     });

Works Faith-Annihia Darren Copeland
Faith-Annihia
Initially, I set out to create a sonic equivalent to the experimental film notion of 'flicker' where sound images could flash in and out of the stereo frame as fast as the eyes could blink. My hopes were that these aural images could represent snapshots of life that would meet each other in a virtual landscape comprised of various juxtapositions and superimpositions.
As the working process unfolded, and as musical questions over organization arose, other strategies and intentions began to preoccupy me. Out of necessity, I turned to crude chance operations (rolling dice, etc.) to streamline the task of ordering 75 discreet sound environments into the countless number of sound events that were required. To get an idea of the density, there are moments where up to 12 tracks are tightly compressed with events averaging less than a second in duration which is a lot when dealing with environmental sound sources rather than musical instruments. In the space of only 16 seconds, there could be some 200 sound events that crowd the stereo stage with industrial and environmental sounds.
When I reached the stage of listening to the first completed stereo sequences (averaging 16 seconds in length), I was struck by how much the sonic images had coalesced and fused into one single, undifferentiated whole. The sameness of one image to another was extremely surprising when compared to my original concept — the 'flicker' effect of rapid-fire images. Instead, the images seemed to group themselves and form a collective identity, desiring to part ways from individual paths of experiences and behaviours. Thus, the piece developed a tendency and character that was the opposite of my original intention.
The collision and fusion of these once disparate images formed the basis of a sonic landscape that was capable of evoking very grim, even apocalyptic, renderings of the urban soundscape. Instead of being like a fast 'flicker' sequence, the piece became a slow invasion of industrial sludge interrupted by prolonged moments of silence and immobility.
Faith-Annihia was realized in 1991 at the Electronic Music Studio of the School for Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University (Burnaby, Canada) and premiered on November 29, 1991 during the Sonic Boom Festival of BC Composers produced by Vancuver Pro Musica in Vancouver (Canada).

A fresh look at Christmas and the Creator's awe-inspiring plan for rescuing mankind
Published December 10, 2018 at 7:58pm
American culture has gone mad, with men who think they're women and politicians who think they're gods. Hatred and division are at historic levels, with some experts even predicting civil war. Western Civilization is genuinely in peril. And yet ... dare speak the truth about any of this and you risk being attacked as a "hater" or a "fascist."
Into this toxic environment of strife and high anxiety now descends the Christmas season – the annual observance of the miraculous birth of the Messiah, the savior of mankind, the Christ child.
And while the usual seasonal insanity erupts on schedule – like the public school teacher who recently banned red and green decorations from the classroom because they're "Christmas colors" – the Christmas season is still a time when most Americans, 70 percent of whom self-identify as Christians, honor and celebrate the incarnation of Jesus Christ … and everything that means.
December's issue of Whistleblower magazine, titled "GOD WITH US," explores some of the magnificently deep, mysterious and life-giving aspects of Christmas and Christ. And especially, of living the life God has called all of His children to live in a very confused and broken world.
Highlights of "GOD WITH US" include:
"My Christmas heart attack" by David Kupelian, a very personal example of how God makes "all things work together for good"
"Why does Jesus have so many names? '… They shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us" by Joseph Farah
"The scientific cure for depression: Prayer" by Hanne Nabintu Herland, on the multiple studies that document the physical and mental health benefits of faith
"Toward the end of his life, Billy Graham insisted the 'Second Coming is near'" by Troy Anderson, on how the late evangelist talked to Whistleblower just before delivering his "final, most important" message
"Top 10 biblical prophecies of Jesus's nativity and Israel's restoration" by Joseph Farah, highlighting Bible passages that reveal amazing details about the Messiah's birth
"The atheist's awakening" by David Kupelian, on how ultimate denial sometimes yields to embracing ultimate Reality
"Rejoice always? Really?" by Greg Laurie, on maintaining personal peace even when the world is spinning out of control
"The Christmas carol that stopped a war: The little-known but amazing history of 'Silent Night'" by Victor M. Parachin
"Why did God choose the Apostle Paul?" by David Limbaugh, on how the "least likely person" to pioneer Christianity's spread turned into the wisest of choices
"How to be 'born again'" by Greg Laurie, who says: "God isn't looking for religious people, but sinful people like you and me"
"Messiahs false and true: A wild ride through outer and inner space in search of the Savior" by David Kupelian.
"Every December, we try to give Whistleblower readers something genuinely meaningful, uplifting and redemptive to think about," said the magazine's editor, best-selling author David Kupelian. "Christmas is still a celebration of a miracle beyond human comprehension, and I don't think anyone will be disappointed with this month's 'GOD WITH US' issue."
SPECIAL OFFER: For a limited time, subscribe to Whistleblower, renew or give a one-year gift subscription and you'll get $10 off the already discounted rate (pay only $39.95 instead of the usual $49.95), plus you'll receive a very special free gift:
You'll get the acclaimed film documentary, "The Global Jesus Revolution: Israel, Islam, and the Gospel at the End of the Age."
Joel Richardson, New York Times bestselling author and teacher, and director of the documentary "End Times Eyewitness," presents this powerful new film, "The Global Jesus Revolution," showing how present-day world events, particularly throughout the Middle East, are clearly falling into alignment with the words of the biblical prophets concerning the last days.
But far more important than merely knowing about the end times is knowing what the followers of Jesus should be doing about it. What are the primary issues that the Church must focus on in light of all that is now unfolding throughout the nations?
In "The Global Jesus Revolution," Richardson looks out across the Middle East and across the earth. He explores and examines the exponential rise of protests, riots and full-blown political revolutions. Richardson says, "I am thoroughly convinced that if the Church is to fulfill its primary mandate in these days, then so also do we need a revolution within the Church."
Messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn, author of the New York Times bestseller "The Harbinger," says: "In the world there are all kinds of revolutions throughout history: French revolution, American revolution. Communist revolutions, Islamic revolutions. Of course they never really bring the answer because the (real) issue is sin."
"The Global Jesus Revolution" reveals that the only proper response to the political revolutions, social upheaval, civil wars and outright chaos unfolding throughout the nations is a much greater spiritual revolution among the disciples of Jesus. Cahn explains: "You look at the beginning. You have twelve believers and ultimately they change the world. They change, they affect politics, and culture, and world history itself. But it happens through an upper room. It happens through prayer. It happens through the presence of God and it happens through people seeking God."
Find out from these leaders how the "The Global Jesus Revolution" is being manifested across the globe:
Jonathan Cahn, Messianic rabbi and bestselling author of "The Harbinger," emphasizes the importance of the Prayer Movement.
Daniel Lim, Indonesian deacon, explains the prayer towers his church erected to bless the enemy that persecutes them.
Chris Mitchell, CBN Middle East bureau chief talks about the 24-7 houses of prayer around the world that are the "rudder of history."
Jesse Digges, missionary to Uganda, describes how the early Church was birthed in continual prayer, and after Pentecost the prayer meeting kept right on going.
Egyptian pastor Dr. Sameh Maurice extols the Christian movement in Egypt and the draw of tens of thousands.
Iranian pastor Ali details the Spirit's movement inside Iran with all-night prayer and fasting.
This film is a blueprint, a manifesto for that revolution. It's a revolution called "The Global Jesus Revolution."
This special free offer will end without notice and is good in the U.S. only.

Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Leichhardt, född 23 oktober 1813 i Sabrodt vid Tauche, Brandenburg, troligen död 1848 i Australiens inland, var en tysk upptäcktsresande.

Leichhardt reste 1841 till Australien, där han med Sydney som utgångspunkt under de båda följande åren företog flera kortare resor i landets östra del och 1844-45 med ringa medel och få följeslagare en större resa från Moreton Bay i närheten av Brisbane genom nuvarande Queensland och södra delen av Kap Yorkhalvön till Port Essington i Northern Territory, vilken resa han beskrev i Journal of an Overland Expedition in Australia from Moreton Bay to Port Essington (1847).

I december 1847 påbörjade han en ny upptäcktsfärd, som skulle gå tvärs över kontinenten från öster till väster, men 3 april 1848 upphörde alla underrättelser från honom, och trots att flera expeditioner utsändes, förblev hans och hans följeslagares öde okänt.

Den australiske författaren och nobelpristagaren Patrick White baserade sin roman "Voss" på Leichhardts Journal of an Overland Expedition in Australia from Moreton Bay to Port Essington (London 1847).

Sydney-stadsdelen Leichhardt är uppkallad efter honom.

Mark Martin Breaks His Winless Streak, Wins 2009 Subway Fresh 500 at Phoenix
November 18, 2020 April 19, 2009 by Phil Allaway
Starting on the front row this season had been a mixed bag for Mark Martin. At Bristol, he ran up front for most of the race and finished sixth. At Daytona, he got caught back in traffic and the rains prohibited him from moving up higher than 16th before the rains came and ended the festivities. And at Atlanta, Martin blew a tire and spun out, eventually finishing 31st. Saturday night was a different story all together.

Jeff Gordon Snaps Career-Long Winless Streak in 2009 Samsung 500 at Texas
November 16, 2020 April 5, 2009 by Phil Allaway
Coming into Sunday's Samsung 500, Jeff Gordon had not been to victory lane since the Bank of America 500 on October 13, 2007, a streak of 47 races. That is a thing of the past now. Gordon's pit crew was quick enough during the final pit stop on lap 307 to get Gordon the lead. From there, Gordon had to hold off resurgent teammate Jimmie Johnson to win the Samsung 500.

Jimmie Johnson Claims Yet Another Victory at Martinsville for Hendrick Motorsports
November 15, 2020 March 29, 2009 by Phil Allaway
On Sunday, Hendrick Motorsports celebrated the 25th Anniversary of their first victory in the then-Winston Cup Series. Back then, the team, then known as All-Star Racing, fielded the winning No. 5 for Geoff Bodine. Today, Jimmie Johnson capped off the anniversary celebration in the best way possible for Hendrick Motorsports. Johnson, who had early issues on pit road, charged up through the field, and then used his No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet in the manner of a battering ram in order to move Denny Hamlin out of the way on lap 430. After winning the race off pit road under a late caution, Hamlin passed on Johnson on the restart.

Kyle Busch Dominates at Bristol Once Again, Wins 2009 Food City 500
Once again, the Busch family has staked their claim to victory lane, reducing the act of winning a Sprint Cup race to a simple activity where the brothers take turns, like the game of Memory. At Las Vegas, Kyle Busch claimed the victory. Two weeks ago at Atlanta, older brother Kurt Busch dominated on his way to victory. This week, it was Kyle's turn again. Kyle Busch started 19th and immediately started coming up through the field. Busch first took the lead on lap 69 from Jimmie Johnson, and from that point on, Kyle was in near complete control.

Kurt Busch Dominates 2009 Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta, Tires Tough on Many
November 13, 2020 March 8, 2009 by Bryan Davis Keith
Kurt Busch must have been watching his brother Kyle Busch drive Saturday, because Sunday's Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway resembled the prior day's Truck race in many ways. Many cars went down a lap early, there was a big wreck, the few competitive cars put on a good show at the end of the race, pit strategy played a role in the finish, and a Busch overcame troubles and stormed to victory. In the Cup race, the older sibling Kurt came out far on top.

Concern Shifts from Engines to Tires at Atlanta
Many drivers seemed to downplay the current engine dilemma. Kyle Busch said that "Mark Cronquist does such a good job at Joe Gibbs Racing that I don't believe we'll have engine failures – that's never in the back of your mind." Ryan Newman attributed the current upswing in failures to simply being "just the way things cycle." Where concern is shifting to yet again in Atlanta is to the tires that will be run this weekend. Expectations were high after Greg Biffle and Juan Pablo Montoya both provided rave reviews of Goodyear's newest Eagle following a preseason tire test, but so far they do not seem to be living up to the hype.

Great Work in the Pits Guides Matt Kenseth to His 2nd Straight Victory in 2009 Auto Club 500 at Fontana
November 11, 2020 February 22, 2009 by Phil Allaway
For years, it seems, Matt Kenseth's pit crew, affectionately known as the "Killer Bees," has been considered to be the best pit crew in the Sprint Cup Series. Tonight, they proved it. Kenseth greatly benefitted from the speed of the Killer Bees on pit road to gain the lead back on the final round of pit stops under the caution at lap 210. From there, Kenseth held off the advances of Jeff Gordon to win the Auto Club 500.

Matt Kenseth Scoots in Front Just in Time to Win 2009 Daytona 500
November 9, 2020 February 15, 2009 by Phil Allaway
Matt Kenseth entered Daytona winless in his last 36 starts. That winless streak is now history. Kenseth passed Elliott Sadler in turn 3 on lap 145 for the lead under threatening skies. Half a lap after the pass, the yellow came out for a crash involving the No. 98 of Paul Menard and the No. 31 of Jeff Burton. During the caution, the heavens opened up, and the race never restarted. After less than 15 minutes, NASCAR called the race at 6:48 p.m. with 152 laps (380 miles) completed. Kenseth was thus declared the winner of the 51st Daytona 500.

I'm writing this in response to some comments from readers of my book, Blog Wonderful, who asked how I deal with negativity in the blogging world. I wrote that book before I had my own negative experiences, so wanted to expand on it here.
For the past (almost) year and a half of my public Wonder Forest blogging life, I managed to slide on by the naysayers and negative trolls of the internet. It wasn't until a few months ago that I had a taste of that hate for myself, and I'd be lying if I said it didn't get under my skin at the time. I was a bully-less blogger, but when I started this journey I knew that it would be inevitable eventually. I had seen other bloggers and friends ridiculed in the past and knew that one day my turn would come if I kept running this joint.
And one day, there it was. The little 40 hits notice on my Google Analytics dashboard staring straight back at me from a site that appeared to have something to say about me. Naturally, I clicked the source link to see where this traffic was coming from and was greeted with about a handful of people who had nothing better to do than tear me down.
As I read through their discussion, tired and wishing I had just gone to bed (I believe it was around 1am), I had moments of "wtf?", followed by a bit of laughter, followed by that jumbled gut feeling we all get when someone hates on us. The only other time I felt that feeling was in high school, when this big nasty girl decided she didn't like me because I became BFFs with the guy she liked. Aside from comments about me being "too skinny", I'd never really been bullied or picked on growing up because I was generally nice to everybody. So you can imagine my shock to find grown up girls talking about somebody in such a negative way.
The thing that baffled me the most was that a lot of the reasons these girls trolls disliked me weren't even real. It's funny how some people can form opinions about you entirely based on how they interpret words or pictures on a screen. It's even more shocking when they start fabricating stories about you. I seriously have no idea where some of the tales came from, but let me tell you it opened my eyes. I thought about this type of thing magnified a hundred times and realized that celebrities have to deal with that stuff every single day, when in reality they are just people. I actually stopped believing anything I read in gossip magazines after this experience… which sounds a little over the top, but I didn't want to be like these internet girls… people who judge and make up stories based on nothing. So I started really questioning the validity of gossip. The last thing I wanted to be was like them.
Besides the random stories, I remember them talking badly about me because I have goals. Um what? If that isn't the most bogus thing to hate someone for I don't know what is. They even went on about physical characteristics, as if I wasn't already aware of what flaws I have! As if these things actually mattered somehow! I'm already my own worst critic and am able to find humor in my flaws. I could win at that game any day.
Being a person who doesn't really sit back and take a beating (Aries alert…), I responded to their crap with a page of notes and truths so they could get their story straight and signed off for the night… half asleep and wondering what must have happened in their lives to be so full of hate. If I had actually done something to a person to warrant this hate, I'd rather them tell me personally so I could make it right. As far as I knew, that wasn't the case.
What happened after that? I have no idea, honestly. I didn't look. I didn't feel like there was anything left to explain and I sure wasn't going to have an ongoing defense session with a random internet troll or two. If they weren't interested in actually getting to know the real me, then it would be near impossible to try to change their opinion anyways. So even though I still occasionally see a couple hits from that same website pop up in my Analytics every now and then, I refuse to click the link to see what else they have to say about me. What would be the point?
So what do you do if you become the center of a middle school bully circle? You keep being you. You realize that there are like 7 billion people in the world and not all of them are going to like you. There is no possible way that you can have everybody like you (sorry, perfectionists!)… and that is OKAY! I am totally fine with that. What they say about you can be cruel, but you shouldn't take it to heart. You should realize that those people who don't like you don't need to matter to you. They don't mean anything to you. They are a dot among 7 billion others. You will probably never even meet the people who berate you on the internet, so why should they matter at all? Your personal lives will never affect one another. They will never get to know who you are in real life, and that, for them, is a shame.
So yeah, it is like a kick in the stomach when you discover that somebody's openly talking badly about you, and like I said it did hurt a bit at the time, but you move on. And maybe that's the difference between you and them… You move on while they stay in their internet bubble, finding mean things to say, day after day… and you can't help but feel a little sorry for them when you picture them anxiously scouring your blog for tidbits to use for their gossip sessions. Like this post.
If you're dealing with mean people, on the internet or in real life, please don't let them get to you. You are so much better than that.

Cognos Delivers Linux Support
Cognos this week delivered a Linux-ready version of its ReportNet enterprise-reporting product
As promised, Cognos Inc. this week delivered a Linux-ready version of its ReportNet enterprise reporting product.
If you've got a hankering to deploy a Linux-powered instance of ReportNet on that new Intel server your IT department just acquired, you're going to have to wait, however: This ReportNet runs only on top of Red Hat Linux, and for now runs only on RISC hardware from IBM Corp.
Cognos and IBM announced the impending release of a Linux-ready flavor of ReportNet in August, in a release timed to coincide with the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo. At the time, both partners pledged to deliver a version of ReportNet for IBM's pSeries RISC servers, followed by an Intel version at a later time.
Why pSeries? Because IBM was pushing hard to make it happen, says Caroline Seymour, director of product marketing with Cognos.
"We are committed to the Intel version, but there's been a big push from IBM, and we've worked so closely with IBM from a joint perspective to make this happen," she says. "We're just seeing a huge momentum and push from IBM to help make Linux viable."
When it announced its Linux gambit in August, Cognos—like other prominent BI players—acknowledged that a mainstream market for BI-based Linux solutions is still waiting to materialize. Not much has changed in three months, reports Seymour: "What we're seeing from our own customer base is that Linux is definitely on top of the radar of people within their infrastructure," she comments. "A lot of customers are still using it for file and print services, but moving forward, they're looking to leverage that infrastructure to actually enhance it and extend the Linux infrastructure for applications such as business intelligence."
This week, Cognos announced that ReportNet has been certified as "Red Hat Ready" for Red Hat's Enterprise Linux. Going forward, Cognos also plans to support Novell Inc.'s SuSE Linux, as well, says Seymour. "It's really down to two vendors, Red Hat and Novell, and it was always our intent to initially support the Red Hat, so that may not have come across in the original release," she confirms. "It's not that we're not going to go support it, it's just that today, our first release of Linux is with Red Hat, and what's key to ensure our customers confidence in it was the certification."
Also this week, Cognos and IBM announced an upcoming road show to promote Cognos BI solutions running on Linux and pSeries. Starting November 16, the two partners plan to host a series of seminars—officially titled "The Changing Economics of Business Intelligence: An Executive Forum on Delivering Top-line Revenue"—in several locations in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. Cognos and IBM plan to tap the expertise of influential business consultancy The Robert Frances Group to help make the case for Linux and open source.
"This is an IBM- and Cognos-sponsored event, but we're using really the analyst group to talk about the changing economics of business intelligence and the importance of open source and Web architectures and so forth, so from a pitch perspective, it's relatively small from IBM and Cognos," she asserts.
Seymour would not disclose whether Cognos plans to port the rest of its BI stack to Linux, as several other BI vendors have done. "It's definitely something we're thinking about, and we're closely monitoring the market from that perspective, but I think what ReportNet brings to the table was a new Web services architecture that was ideal for [a porting effort] like this," she concludes.

Die Panellinio Arma Politon ( deutsch: Panhellenischer Streitwagen der Bürger) ist eine griechische sozialdemokratische Partei.

Die Partei wurde im April 2011 von den Parlamentsabgeordneten Giannis Dimaras und Vasilis Ikonomou gegründet, die als Abgeordnete der damaligen Regierungspartei PASOK entgegen der Parteilinie nicht für das Sparpaket gestimmt hatten und deshalb aus der Fraktion der PASOK ausgeschlossen worden waren.

Ziele der Partei sind:
 die nationale Unabhängigkeit Griechenlands
 Volkssouveränität
 soziale Gerechtigkeit
 Volkssolidarität

Im Oktober 2011 gründete Vasilis Ikonomou eine eigene politische Bewegung mit dem Namen Eleftheri Polites (Freie Bürger).

A preterm birth or premature birth is the birth of a baby before 37 weeks of gestation. The rising incidence of preterm births is the leading cause of infant mortality. Preterm birth rates depend on racial and ethnic differences as well. Owing to the rising number of preterm births and mortality rates, initiatives by the World Health Assembly and UNICEF seek to provide improved obstetric and neonatal care units with high-end equipment such as neonatal ventilators that can provide a sufficient amount of oxygen to neonates. Considering all these factors, the growing incidence of preterm births and mortality rates will drive the growth of the global neonatal ventilators market during the forecast period. Technavio's analysts have predicted that the neonatal ventilators market will register a CAGR of almost 8% by 2023.
Noninvasive ventilators are devices that aid in the administration of ventilatory support through the upper airway sac using a nasal mask without the incorporation of an invasive artificial airway such as an endotracheal tube or a tracheostomy tube.
Neonatal ventilators are used to provide respiratory care in premature neonates and neonates with respiratory illnesses. However, design faults, malfunctioning, and technical errors are some of the issues that are associated with neonatal ventilators, which can lead to improper patient management and treatments. Hence, the manufacture of neonatal ventilators is governed by stringent government regulations.
For the detailed list of factors that will drive and challenge the growth of the neonatal ventilators market during the 2019-2023, view our report.
The neonatal ventilators market appears to be moderately fragmented and with the presence of several companies. This market research report will help clients identify new growth opportunities and design unique growth strategies by providing a comprehensive analysis of the market's competitive landscape and offering information on the products offered by companies.
Technavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the global neonatal ventilators market: BD, GE Healthcare, Koninklijke Philips, Medtronic, Schiller, Smiths Group.
According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is the high demand for noninvasive ventilators.
Further, the report states that one of the major factors hindering the growth of this market is the issues related to neonatal ventilators.

Q: What's a good starting point for using Bluetooth input on mac in C? I want to use my PS3 controller (in wireless mode) as an input device for a C (note, not objective C) program on my mac. I got the controller to pair and I can get data from it with Apple's PacketLogger.app bluetooth utility... so I know the data is being sent (I can even press buttons and see it send different values), I just want to know how to get that data in my own programs.
I was expecting to be able to just open a bluetooth domain socket or something along those lines, but that appears not to be the case.
I found this documentation from apple but A) its objective-c and B) it claims to be leopard only and snow leopard is the target platform.
Could somebody please point me in the direction of a good example/some good documentation on how to interact with a bluetooth device in C on a mac?
If I can't do it in C, my next step is to try LightBlue.
Many thanks,

A: I think the ROS (Robot Operating System*) OSX joystick package might be a good starting point, at least it sounds like they got the PS3 controller to work on OSX. While the (very small) package itself is in C++, the GLFW library they use is in C.. Just ignore the ROS-ness like setting up publish/subscribe stuff, initialising nodes etc. ;-)
This is probably less useful for general purpose bluetooth communications, but from what I remember the PS3 controller was a bit "special" in terms of pairing etc anyway, so hopefully it will be useful anyway.
* it's more a "meta operating system" than a bare-metal OS like OSX, Windows & Linux.

Payday lender The Money Shop threatens to axe 200 of its 500 UK stores
Consultation underway at company which currently has five stores across North Wales

The Money Shop threatens to axe 200 stores
Get the latest news from Wrexham straight to your inbox
Payday lender The Money Shop has announced plans to close as many as 200 stores with 350 jobs at risk of redundancy.
The firm, a subsidiary or Dollar Financial UK, has a network of around 500 high street stores nationally, including stops in Bangor, Colwyn Bay, Rhyl, Mold and Wrexham.
They have not yet confirmed which is its UK stores could be affected by its re-organisation.
A spokesman for The Money Shop said: "Dollar Financial has informed all employees of a proposed consolidation of its online and retail businesses and has initiated a consultation process with elected employee representatives.
"Regrettably, it is possible that some 350 redundancies may be necessary as the company evolves its business to serve customers in a fair and sustainable way following the introduction of the new regulations on consumer lending, as well as removing duplication of facilities inherited through previous acquisitions.
"It is likely that some high street locations as well as one of the businesses' three head offices will be closed.
"We fully acknowledge the impact these proposals may have on our people both personally and professionally and we will support affected employees through this process and into future employment.
"Dollar Financial is committed to ensuring that the business review is undertaken in a way that allows a comprehensive consultation and communication process with those likely to be affected."
Money Shop's cutbacks comes after the introduction by the Financial Conduct Authority this month of a cap on the costs of loans made by payday lenders. Payday loan rates are now capped at 0.8% per day of the amount borrowed.
No one will have to pay back more than twice what they borrowed, and there will be a £15 cap on default charges.
A statement from the company added: "Dollar Financial is one of the largest alternative financial services organizations in the world and the UK operations are a core part of the business.
"Dollar Financial remains committed to the UK market and recognises the important service it provides to its customers.
"Dollar Financial UK has three HQ locations in Nottingham, Bicester and Bromley. It is the Bromley HQ which may close as a result of this proposed rationalisation.
"The Money Shop, a subsidiary or Dollar Financial UK, has a network of around 500 high street stores nationally, of which 200 may be affected by this review of locations. In many cases the business have multiple locations in close proximity as a result of previous acquisitions."

Behavior and Strength of Masonry Prisms Loaded in Compression
Kaaki-Tamara-MASc-CIVL-July-2013.pdf (10.47Mb)
Kaaki, Tamara
The compressive strength of masonry is the most important material property for the design of structural masonry. The behavior and strength of masonry prisms under compressive loading has been a fundamental research topic. In most practical applications, the compressive forces are applied normal to the masonry bed joint and thus the masonry compressive strength is obtained by subjecting the masonry prisms in compression normal to the bed joint in the experimentation. However, there are other masonry members that rely on the compressive strength of masonry either parallel or inclined with an angle to bed joints such as masonry beams or masonry infills. For the latter application, the current practice is to use a reduction factor ? in combination with compressive strength of masonry normal to the bed joint to account for the effect of loading direction on the compressive stress. Despite considerable research has been conducted on the masonry prism strength under compression normal to bed joints, the information on the effect of loading direction on the masonry prism strength is limited. Some conflicting findings have been reported by different researchers in terms of the value of the reduction factor. An experimental program involving the test of 47 prisms and 27 square panels was therefore conducted to investigate the effects of a few influential parameters on the behavior and strength of masonry in compression. Parameters that were considered in the experimental program included loading orientation, height-to-thickness ratio, grouting arrangement, mortar strength, and central web interruption. Results from this study were used to augment the existing database and to verify the reduction factor for loading direction effect currently specified in the design standard. The unit-mortar method currently used in the standard for masonry compressive strength determination was also evaluated. Key observations are reported and recommendations are made as appropriate.

Not since the days of the carnival-like Bush administration, when fear had the currency of gold, did we see anything like this in the context of a nominally democratic society. "Every so often," as the late Robin Williams reminded us of the former US Secretary of Defense, "Rumsfeld comes out and goes 'I don't where, and I don't know when, but something awful's going to happen. That's all for today. No further questions."  That is the language of Homeland Security, Stasiland and police paternalism. It is the lingo of the wall and the garrison state.
It came down to the last, tight days. The polls were always going to be hard to read – a recent Israeli law prevented pollsters from earning their keep from Thursday on. This laid the ground for the speculative and daring, though Netanyahu's opponents were taking stock about readings that showed up to 60 percent of Israelis did not want him to continue in office.  Last Friday, it seemed that Yitzhak Herzog's Zionist grouping would lead by four seats.
Even US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki would say in a somewhat undiplomatic tone that the Israeli Prime Minister had chosen to remain vague and inconsistent on the issue. "If he had consistently stated that he remained in favour of a two-state solution, we'd be having a different conversation."  The Obama administration has promised a strategic "rethink" regarding the two-state solution stance, but is hardly going to move beyond the state of current stagnation. Israel can't be the ritual absentee in this matter.

NewsREC joint statement with NATRE on the APPG on RE
REC joint statement with NATRE on the APPG on RE
On 8th March the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Religious Education met in order to discuss changes to its purpose statement. At that meeting, the APPG agreed a new purpose statement as follows:
To provide a medium through which parliamentarians and organisations with an interest in religious education can discuss the current provision of religious education, press for continuous improvement, promote public understanding and advocate effective education for every young person in religious world views.
The original purpose had read [the changed wording is in bold]:
To provide a medium through which parliamentarians and organisations with an interest in religious education can discuss the current provision of religious education, press for continuous improvement, promote public understanding and advocate rigorous education for every young person in religious and non-religious world views.
RE Council Chief Executive, Rudolf Eliott Lockhart, and NATRE Chair Daniel Hugill commented:
We are disappointed that the All Party Parliamentary Group has decided to narrow its understanding of what religious education (RE) means. RE is a dynamic subject that benefits from an ongoing debate over its nature and scope. Members of both the RE Council and NATRE continue to discuss and review the current and future shape of religious education. A broad and inclusive approach to these discussions is necessary for the health of the subject. The APPG has chosen to cut itself off from an important part of the debate. In doing so it makes itself out of touch with the reality of a vibrant part of what is going on in many RE classrooms across the country.

Five Books to Help You Become a Better Hotelier
Wouldn't life be great if you could educate people simply by telling them things? Unfortunately, as any education professional will confirm, that's not really how learning works, so I'm not about to recommend a reading list that directly tells you how to be better at your job. Instead, I'm going to suggest a few titles you might enjoy, and which will introduce a few ideas in other fields that you can think about applying in your own. After all, it's the inspiration from that thought process that makes all the difference.
Winning Ugly (Brad Gilbert)
Brad Gilbert was a professional tennis player who reached No. 4 in the world, seemingly without ever having any major strengths to call upon in his game. He was, however, a wonderful strategist, and a master of analyzing the state of the game and selecting the best approach to unsettle and eventually defeat his opponent. In this book he explains exactly how he was able to overcome superior players, and discusses the lengths he would go to in order to prepare for matches, leaving absolutely nothing to chance. In his own words, "95% of the times you go out there on court there will be a way for you to win. You just have to find it."
As the title suggests, his style was based on work rather than talent. He knew how to get the very best out of the ability that he had. He urges tennis players to get the basics right, focus on the key points, observe match situations very keenly, almost from detached perspective, and make the most of the opportunities created. Although the book is written to guide tennis players, its applications go far beyond that. Read it, and think how you can apply its lessons to your own situation.
Black Box Thinking (Matthew Syed)
Learning from your mistakes is often claimed to be a good idea, but it happens far less often than it should. There are plenty of social and cultural reasons why people, and entire industries, will hide their mistakes rather than admitting to them and working to find ways to ensure they are never repeated. Anyone responsible for improving a large organization, or whose role is to manage other staff, would find this particular book very useful. It shows what happens, why it shouldn't happen, and what should be done instead. Its ideas are applicable in all walks of life, and could just help you to make a difference.
Antifragile (Nassim Nicholas Taleb)
This is the fourth in a series of books, all of which are well worth your time. The structure and themes of the book are complicated and very difficult to summarize: every page forces the reader to think. One element I find particularly enjoyable is that every other page introduces ideas or cultural references which intrigue and inspire the reader to go and do some further research. The author is a Lebanese risk analyst and statistician who specializes in probability. Read this book, read his other books, and then re-read them.
Heroes, Villains & Velodromes (Richard Moore)
Great Britain had achieved precious little in track cycling throughout Olympic history, picking up nothing more than an occasional gold medal whenever a particularly talented individual came along. Then, with the introduction of funding from the country's national lottery, things became serious. The British cycling programme developed from nowhere to dominate the sport at the Beijing, London, and Rio de Janeiro Olympics, winning gold in well over half the available events, with plenty more silver and bronze besides. This books follows the process leading up to the London games, and explains how the theory of marginal gains (the idea where a series of tiny improvements across a range of aspects can add up to a significant overall advantage) allied to a working environment designed to achieve success can lead to unprecedented outcomes on the track. The Team GB motto, "Better never stops", can be applied anywhere.
Guns, Germs & Steel (Jared Diamond)
If you're a hotelier, your role will bring you into contact with the wider world every day, so a better understanding of why this world is the way it is, and how it got here, can only be a good thing. This book pivots upon the events which took place in 16th century Cajamarca, Peru, when the Spanish were able to overcome the Incas. The question the book answers is that of how a small Spanish force could triumph so swiftly. How had the histories of the two civilizations come to a point where one could defeat the other which such relative ease? The answer involves a long journey through mankind's past 14,000 years, and explores a number of subjects in great depth. Anyone who wants to understand today's world better would find this book an intriguing starting point.

Q: Regex capture two digits Only if there are no other numbers in the string I want to find and capture two digits Only if there are no other numbers in the string, My inputs:
foo 12 ✅
foo 12 bar ✅
12 baz ✅
9 foo 12 ❌
foo 12 baz 2 ❌
12 2 ❌

I tried this pattern
preg_match('`(?<=\d)\b\d\d\b(?=\d)`', $input);

But not working
https://regex101.com/r/Gsvguc/1

A: You need to check the whole string to contain there aren't any other digits, so start at the beginning. Match non-digits, then use \K to reset the match (this is needed for the result to contain only the two digits you want), match the 2 digits, and lookahead for no more digits until the end of the string:
^\D*\K\d{2}(?=\D*$)

https://regex101.com/r/Gsvguc/2

A: Another option is to fail a string with two digits separated with non-digits and then match two digits:
.*\d\D+\d.*(*SKIP)(*F)|\b\d{2}\b

See proof:

Explanation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  .*                       any character except \n (0 or more times
                           (matching the most amount possible))
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  \d                       digits (0-9)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  \D+                      non-digits (all but 0-9) (1 or more times
                           (matching the most amount possible))

  \d                       digits (0-9)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  .*                       any character except \n (0 or more times
                           (matching the most amount possible))
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  (*SKIP)                    backtracking control verb that makes the regex engine
                             "skip" forward to this position on failure and tries
                             to match again
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  (*F)                       fail the current match, proceed to search for a new one
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 |                        OR
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  \b                       the boundary between a word char (\w) and
                           something that is not a word char
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  \d{2}                    digits (0-9) (2 times)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  \b                       the boundary between a word char (\w) and
                           something that is not a word char

PHP example:
if (preg_match('~.*\d\D+\d.*(*SKIP)(*F)|\b\d{2}\b~', 'foo 12', $match)) { echo "foo 12 >>> $match[0]\n"; }
if (preg_match('~.*\d\D+\d.*(*SKIP)(*F)|\b\d{2}\b~', '12 baz', $match)) { echo "12 baz >>> $match[0]\n"; }
if (preg_match('~.*\d\D+\d.*(*SKIP)(*F)|\b\d{2}\b~', '9 foo 12', $match)) { echo "9 foo 12 >>> $match[0]\n"; }
if (preg_match('~.*\d\D+\d.*(*SKIP)(*F)|\b\d{2}\b~', 'foo 12 baz 2', $match)) { echo "foo 12 baz 2 >>> $match[0]\n"; }
if (preg_match('~.*\d\D+\d.*(*SKIP)(*F)|\b\d{2}\b~', '12 2', $match)) { echo "12 2 >>> $match[0]\n"; }

Result:
foo 12 >>> 12
12 baz >>> 12

Фудбалски савез Курасаоа (пап. Federashon Futbòl Kòrsou (FFK)) је Фудбалски савез Курасаоа и члан је Конкакафа и Фифе. ФФК је основан као КВБ (-{CVB}-; Фудбалски савез Курасаоа) 1921. године и повезан је са Фифом од 1932. до 1958.

КФБ се спојио са другим антилским удружењима у Холандску антилску фудбалску унију (НАВУ) (-{Netherlands Antillean Football Union}-)  у коју је такође прешло чланство у ФИФАи. Поред тога, КВБ је наставио да постоји независно, али више не за бившу територију Курасао, већ само за сам Курасао. НАВУ је био један од оснивача КОНКАКАФа. Валтер ван Росберг је био председник КВБа више од 25 година, а такође је био и председник НАВУа. Крајем 1986. КВБ је одлучио да се распусти.

Learning to jump higher is a key skill when playing basketball. Whether you've made space to receive the ball and you want to get some air for clear vertical space to receive it or you're making a shot for the hoop, being able to jump higher is a key skill that's awesome to possess.
Perform the barbell deadlift by being stationary, bending at the knees and hips, and grip the overhead barbell above the shoulders. Push up to stand up while still holding the barbell and move your hips outwards to balance the weight out more evenly. This helps to increase your arm strength which is useful when reaching up to make the shot.
This training is performed by holding a dumbbell in each hand with them resting by each side of your legs. Your hand palms should face towards each other so it's comfortable. Move downwards while still holding the dumbbells until you're in a squat position. Once nicely into a squat position, jump upward into the air while holding the dumbbells and then land gently with your knees not locked out. Stand back up again to complete one movement. Then repeat the action again a few more times.
Work on becoming technically sound as an athlete. Change your walking and stance and manner of movement. Make them technically more precise and accurate, rather than simply performing them the way you always have. Learn to minimize the amount of routine effort that is exerted during a basketball game, so that your body has enough force left to perform higher jumps on demand. A professional website for basketball player https://www.probasketballtroops.com/training-program/ which give you tips to improve high jump. When you're technically more proficient, less energy is used for every action. You then have a natural ability to get more air when it's needed.
Using squat training while lifting pounds of weight builds up strength in your ligaments, knee joints, quads, biceps and elsewhere. When jumping into the air and landing, you develop a force which is then transferred down when you land. Practice capturing the force when you land to reapply it with a quick leap up again. It takes time to muster the forces to take what your body has and push it out for a higher leap.
Getting a regular body massage is effective in working out the knots in your muscles. Using a foam roller is also effective to remove stubborn knots. Muscles and tendons build up tension that doesn't always get released. Using a roller to move gradually over the spots that are softer, tension is helpfully released from that area. With this complete, tendons can stretch more with movement and muscles can move easily respond.
Lastly, so-called death jumps where you just off a wall or a box, land and then react by jumping off the ground again into a new leap into the air teaches your body to react faster.
Is Tennis Shoe Makes Impact On Tennis Match?

Soft court shoes are easiest to find as normal tennis shoes will work great on the soft court and soft court shoes are designed with non-damaging traction in mind.
Tennis shoes for multi-court are designed to play on the various surface whether it is the soft court or hard court. These shoes will allow playing on both surfaces without any hassle of switching between different shoes.

It's essential for restaurants to include a menu on their website.
When you design your menu, you're creating the guest experience. This document is the first way guests interact with your cuisine, and it's important to make a good first impression. Highlight your most popular items to help guests find their new favorite dish. You can also enticingly list your most profitable dishes to encourage customers to spend more. As you approach the design process, bear these top 3 tips in mind to build the most effective menu possible.
Your menu layout is a way to draw the eye to dishes you'd most like to sell. Menu engineer Gregg Rapp says, "The upper right is where a person will go on a blank sheet of paper or in a magazine," so putting your most profitable items in that spot will bring them more attention. After that, consider the flow of the eye from section to section. Guests will want to think about their meal in the order they plan to eat, so salads and appetizers should be above and to the left of your larger entrees.
Another vital part of listing menu items is the concept of decision fatigue or the paradox of choice. This well-known phenomenon states that people have trouble remembering lists of more than seven items. (This is also why phone numbers in the U.S. - sans area codes - consist of seven digits.) Including more than seven items in one category will confuse guests. They'll take longer to place their orders, which may disrupt your restaurant's flow. Also, as they're feeling overwhelmed in the first place, it gets harder to draw their eyes to your more expensive or profitable dishes. By sticking with the magic number seven, you can ensure that their experience and their ticket size are the best they can be.
A study at Cornell University found that one simple change can significantly increase the amount of money guests are willing to spend. If you delete dollar signs from the menu, your guests will think less about price and more about the food. You still want to include the costs of your menu items, but be sure to list them as simple numbers without a currency symbol.
This strategy prioritizes the guest experience while maximizing your profit margins. Guests go out to eat when they want to have fun, relax, and enjoy their time. They don't want to be thinking about their bank accounts or worrying about whether they can justify that extra appetizer. By making this one simple change, you encourage them to stay present and in the moment. However, there's no need to sacrifice transparency here. Gently emphasize your cuisine instead of focusing on how much it costs.
As online ordering continues to expand, it's become essential for restaurants to include a menu on their website. This strategy maximizes the number of orders you'll receive, and can also have a significant impact on your profitability. 25% of consumers say they spend more on online orders than they do when they come into a restaurant.
Your online menu should be pretty similar to the one you hand to guests in your restaurant. Depending on your website, including a pdf of your menu online makes it hard for some guests to view through their browser. It's best to design a menu that can appear directly on your website, with no downloads or extra clicks needed. Consult with a web designer to create the best possible layout for this page, since you may need to consider a different strategy than the one you exerted for your printed menu. For example, the use of white space is particularly important for online menus, as it makes lists of menu items accessible to read.
As a general rule, your menu design should reflect the overall brand of your restaurant. For instance, if you operate a taco stand, you may want to use bright colors and eye-catching drawings of your cuisine. On the other hand, an upscale tapas bar may do better with a minimalist design. Choose an aesthetic that will tie into the experience of your cuisine. This will set the tone for the rest of the meal, setting guests at their ease and improving the dining experience.

Q: Add instance of Generic List to object using reflection I'm trying to attach a Generic list to a instance of a class using reflection, unlike when attaching simple objects method the PropertyInfo.SetValue(obj, value, index) is returning the exception {"Parameter count mismatch."} when value is an instance of List<SomeType> (as opposed to a string, int, bool or even a custom class).
That summery might not make much sense; The following may help to explain what I'm trying to do.
Say we are trying to populate the following class with reflection:
public class Foo
{

 public virtual int someInt {get; set;}
 public virtual IList<SomeClass> list {get; set;}

}

The method may look something like this:
public static T Parse<T>(HttpRequest request) where T : new()
{
   returnObj = new T();
   PropertyInfo[] properties = typeof(T).GetProperties();
   foreach (PropertyInfo p in properties)
   {
     // Get a meaningful property name
     string ins = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(p.PropertyType.FullName, "([^,]*),.*$", "$1");
     switch(ins)
     {
        // populate int
        case "System.Int32":
           p.SetValue(returnObj, Int32.Parse(request[p.Name]) , null);
           break;

        // populate list
        case "System.Collections.Generic.IList`1[[SomeNamespace.Domain.SomeClass":
           IList<SomeClass> list = new List<SomeClass>();
           foreach (string s in request[p.Name].Split(','))
           {
              list.Add(new SomeClass(s));
           }
           // This will throw the exception 'Parameter count mismatch.'
           p.SetValue(returnObj, list, null);
           break;
      }
   }
   return returnObj;
}

However when trying to add an instance of List (IList) in this way an exception is thrown.
Edit: To clarify, If been over this method with a  fine tooth comb(Breakpoints) (well, the one in the application, not exactly this one) and all the variables are populated as expected; until SetValue throws an exception; if anyone needs some more information, do ask.
Edit2: So I built a smaller application to test this (In order to upload it as an example); and I'm having trouble recreating my own issue; As many of you have suggested this works. I'll update this question with the issue when I manage to track it down. Its probably something trivial, as these things so often are (The original codebase is massive and therefore not appropriate for me to post). Thanks for all your help so far and my apologies for wasting your time.

A: Im running the code from your question with some minor changes to make it compile and it seems to work fine:
void Main()
{
    Parse<Foo>();
}

public static T Parse<T>() where T : new()
{
   var returnObj = new T();
   PropertyInfo[] properties = typeof(T).GetProperties();
   foreach (PropertyInfo p in properties)
   {
     // Get a meaningful property name
     string ins = p.PropertyType.Name;
     switch(ins)
     {
        // populate int
        case "Int32":
           p.SetValue(returnObj, 1 , null);
           break;

        // populate list
        case "IList`1":
           var list = new List<string>();
           // This will throw the exception 'Parameter count mismatch.'
           p.SetValue(returnObj, list, null);
           break;
      }
   }
   return returnObj;
}

public class Foo
{
 public virtual int someInt {get; set;}
 public virtual IList<string> list {get; set;}
}

If you change the Foo to have an indexer property that returns IList on the other hand you get the exception in your question:
public class Foo
{
 public virtual int someInt {get; set;}
 public virtual IList<string> this[int key]
 {
    get{ return null; }
    set
    {
    }
 }
}

Generates:

TargetParameterCountException: Parameter count mismatch.

A: Have you verified that the case
"System.Collections.Generic.IList`1[[SomeNamespace.Domain.SomeClass"

is being hit? When I pass in a List, even one created as an IList, GetType() gives me
System.Collections.Generic.List`1[SomeNamespace.Domain.SomeClass]

Would it potentially be more reliable to use:
typeOf(System.Collections.Generic.IList).isAssignableFrom(p.GetType())

Commissioning commences at Japan's Osaki CoolGen Capture Plant
Alex Zapantis (General Manager Commercial) and our Tokyo team visited the Osaki CoolGen facility this week, where the President of Osaki CoolGen, Mr Kenji Aiso and his team provided an update on progress (see picture below).
The Osaki CoolGen facility is a 166MW oxygen blown Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant located in the Hiroshima Prefecture of Japan. The first phase of the project, construction and demonstration of the IGCC was completed successfully in 2018.
The IGCC met all efficiency and performance targets including a net efficiency of 40.8 per cent (HHV), continuous operation for 2168 hours, and cumulative operation of 5119 hours. The project has reached another significant milestone with the completion of construction of the carbon dioxide capture plant. This plant uses a physical adsorbent (Selexol Max TM) and will capture up to 400t per day of CO2 from a slipstream of the flu gas from the IGCC (17 per cent of the flu gas will be processed). It is currently being commissioned and is expected to commence operation in December.
The next stage of this demonstration is the installation of two 600kW Solid Oxide Fuel Cells to produce additional electricity from hydrogen produced by the gasifier. When installed in 2020, they are expected to increase the net efficiency of the plant by about 5 per cent. This project is on schedule and budget. It has already demonstrated the reliability and performance of the coal gasification and combined cycle power unit, and will shortly demonstrate the integration of carbon capture and fuel cell generation. These technologies are all essential to tackle climate change.

Nadja (1928), the second book published by André Breton, is one of the iconic works of the French surrealist movement. It begins with the question "Who am I?"

It is based on Breton's actual interactions with a young woman, Nadja (actually Léona Camille Ghislaine Delacourt 1902–1941), over the course of ten days, and is presumed to be a semi-autobiographical description of his relationship with a patient of Pierre Janet.  The book's non-linear structure is grounded in reality by references to other Paris surrealists such as Louis Aragon and 44 photographs.

The last sentence of the book ("Beauty will be CONVULSIVE or will not be at all") provided the title for Pierre Boulez's flute concerto ...explosante-fixe....

Dating from 1960, the widely available English translation by Richard Howard is a translation of the first edition of Breton's novel, dating from 1928. Breton published a second, revised edition in 1963. No English translation of this second edition is currently available.

Summary
The narrator, named André, ruminates on a number of Surrealist principles, before ultimately commencing (around a third of the way through the novel) on a narrative account, generally linear, of his brief ten-day affair with the titular character Nadja. She is so named "because in Russian it's the beginning of the word hope, and because it's only the beginning," but her name might also evoke the Spanish "Nadie," which means "No one."  The narrator becomes obsessed with this woman with whom he, upon a chance encounter while walking through the street, strikes up conversation immediately.  He becomes reliant on daily rendezvous, occasionally culminating in romance (a kiss here and there).  His true fascination with Nadja, however, is her vision of the world, which is often provoked through a discussion of the work of a number of Surrealist artists, including himself.  While her understanding of existence subverts the rigidly authoritarian quotidian, it is later discovered that she is mad and belongs in a sanitarium.  After Nadja reveals too many details of her past life, she in a sense becomes demystified, and the narrator realizes that he cannot continue their relationship.

In the remaining quarter of the text, André distances himself from her corporeal form and descends into a meandering rumination on her absence, so much so that one wonders if her absence offers him greater inspiration than does her presence.  It is, after all, the reification and materialization of Nadja as an ordinary person that André ultimately despises and cannot tolerate to the point of inducing tears.  There is something about the closeness once felt between the narrator and Nadja that indicated a depth beyond the limits of conscious rationality, waking logic, and sane operations of the everyday. There is something essentially "mysterious, improbable, unique, bewildering" about her; this reinforces the notion that their propinquity serves only to remind André of Nadja's impenetrability. Her eventual recession into absence is the fundamental concern of this text, an absence that permits Nadja to live freely in André's conscious and unconscious, seemingly unbridled, maintaining her paradoxical role as both present and absent.  With Nadja's past fixed within his own memory and consciousness, the narrator is awakened to the impenetrability of reality and perceives a particularly ghostly residue peeking from under its thin veil.  Thus, he might better put into practice his theory of Surrealism, predicated on the dreaminess of the experience of reality within reality itself.

Quotations
 "Don't I love her? When I am near her I am nearer things which are near her."
 "Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all."
 "He cannot enter, he does not enter."
 "I am obliged to reply that I know nothing about it, that in such matters the right to bear witness seems to me to be all that is granted."
 "You could never see this star as I do.  You don't understand: It's like the heart of a heartless flower."

Shopping for homeowners insurance can be puzzling. You get asked all kinds of questions, and then the provider comes back with quotes. You already know you should comparison shop, and this process proves it even more. Quotes can vary tremendously from carrier to carrier. It begs the question: How do home insurance providers set premiums, anyway?
There are many risk factors that companies take into consideration, and each weighs those factors differently. Here are 9 common risk factors that can affect your home insurance premium that you can keep your eyes open for when you are searching for a home.
See more of this beautiful home on ComFree.com.
You probably considered location when purchasing your home, and insurance companies do the same when they calculate your premium. Your provider can look at a record of past claims in your area and estimate how likely you would be to file a claim. If you live in an area with high crime, you might expect your premium to go up.
Providers likely will check your credit score and your claims history. They consider these items indicators of your potential insurance risk.
This is the amount it would take to replace your home should there be a total loss. The size, composition and contents of your home are all factors in the total replacement cost. A larger, fancier home will cost more to replace than a more modest dwelling, so premiums will be higher.
Oil tanks have the potential for causing costly environmental hazards, so your provider may ask about the age and condition of your tank. There is much less risk associated with gas or electric heat.
There are a few factors insurers take into consideration concerning electricity. Insurers know from experience that circuit breakers pose less of a threat than fuses, and they know that some older types of wiring, such as aluminum, can increase a chance of fire.
Older plumbing is another risk factor. Galvanized and lead piping are indicators of an old system and could be more likely to crack or leak. Insurers prefer that homes have updated plumbing with copper or plastic pipes.
More than 1 million Canadian families heat their homes at least partly with wood, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. National statistics on fires in Canada are hard to come by, but in Alberta, wood stoves and fire places were blamed for about 11% of fires in living rooms, according to the province's annual statistical report.
It's no wonder that providers prefer that you live near a fire hydrant or fire station. The quicker the fire can be put out, the less damage is caused. Homeowners in rural areas could experience higher premiums because of this risk.
Older roofs can be more susceptible to weather damage, which makes you more likely to file a claim. Insurers prefer newer, updated roofs. Generally, a roof should be updated every 10-20 years.
Fortunately, there are ways you can lower your premium. Bundling policies – particularly buying home and auto insurance from the same carrier, installing a monitored burglar or fire alarm, and keeping a claims free record are just a few ways to earn discounts from providers. A licensed insurance agent can answer questions about your coverage and help you find other ways you can save.

Q: How to decode multiple column into string type? (back to original type) I have a data like this:

I want to predict the count column based on that data.
But firstly, I have already encoded it using LabelEncoder.
The code that I'm using to encode this data is:
def dummyEncode(df)
Hasil = []
columnsToEncode = list(Hasilatribut)
le = LabelEncoder()
for feature in columnsToEncode:
    try:
        df[feature] : le.fit_transform(df[feature]).astype(float)
    except:
            print('Error encoding '+feature)
return df

And the result of my encoding is:
At the last step of my forecasting, I want to transform the 'date', 'tablename', and 'attributename' to the original type.
I've already use inverse_transform, but I still get error.
I also try this:

The result is still like the 'hasil' output.
Please help me to solve this.


Kitchen sinks will be primarily broken up into two distinctive styles, drop in and the now popular undermount sinks. The drop in sink is the most versatile as it can be utilized in any countertop surface, whereas the undermount is definitely primarily restricted to solid area countertops. The hottest sink that can be found for style today is without a doubt the stainless steel undermount drain because it gives a very tidy line to the countertop and is now the option of choice for the majority of new homes with marble and other types of stable surface. When selecting a drain you need to first determine the type of countertop you will have, any type of Formica will require a drop in sink. If you are using any type of sound surface you will have many options to choose from. It is important to stay up to date with all the current trends especially for reselling value, but it is essential that you get that functionality that you just deserve.
