The pandemic has forced brands and retailers to rethink how they approach key events this year. The approaching festive season will be no exception. Seasonality apart the Point of purchase has moved. As I wrote early into the Pandemic the point of sale / point of purchase is shifting from in store to online.Refer to has-the-point-of-purchase-pop-moved-with-the-entry-of-covid/
So what is the new opportunity for Influencers and Brands. Amaze25, Putri10 and Amanda30off might sound like online usernames, but these could be some of the discount codes given by brands to influencers to share with their followers.
The codes, which will be shared in an influencer's caption, or as text overlays across videos on Instagram Stories or YouTube, are like a password that fans can use at checkout to purchase a specific item for a reduced price or a special price.For brands, it's a convenient way to track influencer ROI and sales
conversion, while moving stock without having obvious markdowns. For influencers, it's a means of audience engagement, for followers old and new.
In US and Europe, as travel bans and quarantine orders restrict regular work, influencers are riding
an increase in online traffic from homebound audiences. The increase in online traffic from home bound audiences presents new opportunities, particularly as they have more time on their hands and followers have more OTS while traditional influencer marketing gets more ROI driven.
Promo codes had a catch specially with the discerning consumer. Whenever a brand tried to slip that
into a campaign, it'd be like 'don't do that' because a markdown or the perception that the Brand was selling something discounted to the audience [didn't feel right]. COVID 19 has changed all that. Now it's about meeting consumers where they are. Influencers are providing a service to brands [affected by Covid] to help them market and sell products.
The most ideal channel to use is Instagram stories with the direct call to action swipe ups. Influencer marketing has historically being associated with top-of-funnel campaigns but that is changing its no more about putting out a message and hoping for the best when it comes to getting a bunch of impressions. The market has been pushed forward so that everything has to be driven back to an ROI. More than ever, during Covid, because marketing budgets have shrunk, there needs to be a reason for every Rupiah spent.
The brands can track the promo codes when they are shared and the Influencers can get information on the purchases made via the promo code. There are various commercial formats in which the brand can engage with the Influencer. It could be large scale or very exclusive. The codes are valid for limited time, creating a sense of urgency for followers to act fast and buy immediately.
Most people shopping online are being guided by influencers rather than retail store staff or mainstream media. People find a lot of value [in discount codes] as long as there is no over saturation. Promo codes with Influencers is going to be an important part of the Influencer marketing strategy in Indonesia for brands and interesting commercial models are likely to emerge. Watch out for this space as Be Tagged comes out with cutting edge programs for brands and Influencer in this area.

It's interesting how you can work to build something and you have all these parts on the bench none of which you are real happy with but they are the best you can do. You go ahead and put all together and the result is greater than the sum of the parts.
This little car has created quite a stir since I posted it in my usual places last night. I know I got over 100 messages today about this toy. Not exactly viral but its a lot more activity than I'm used to. I picked up some followers and a couple of new Facebook friends that are toy makers. I sent one of them here and he bought the Freaky Ford plans.

Thompson, Delacruz named Bayhealth's Nurses of the Year
Previous articleCausey Mansion Splits Hives Downtown
Next articleBowe Brothers Compete at SODE
Bayhealth has announced ICU Night Shift Clinical Coordinator Twinez Thompson, BSN, RN, and 1A Night Shift Clinical Coordinator Glenda Delacruz, BSN, RN, CMSRN, as the Nurses of the Year for Bayhealth Milford Memorial and Bayhealth Hospital, Kent Campus.
Thompson's nominator believes she is a role model for all nurses in how she approaches her work with energy, high ethical standards and integrity. Thompson's character shined through during a fire earlier this year at Bayhealth Milford Memorial. Patients were taken to the ICU during the fire resulting in 28 patients on the unit. Calmly, Thompson took down names, joked around with patients to ease stress and made sure everyone was comfortable. "She even let a patient borrow her personal phone so he could reach a family member that was heading to the hospital. In every critical situation, she remains an advocate for her patient, and is excellent at managing and coordinating patient care," the nominator wrote.
Preferring to stay in the background, winning Nurse of the Year was overwhelming for Thompson. "I love my coworkers and the patients," Thompson said. "Knowing I'm working with patients in critical conditions, I work hard to help turn things around by the end of my shift. I like making a difference in people's lives."
According to her nominator, Delacruz is driven to improve the health of not only patients she cares for at the hospital but the health of all members of the Bayhealth community. "She makes it her mission to improve the health status of all members within the hospital through her clinical skills and practice, leadership, and management skills, and ensuring that she's always an advocate for her patient," the nominator wrote. "Glenda is the poster child for the values at Bayhealth. These values shine through her work in each and every shift."
Delacruz has worked for Bayhealth for 17 years, and loves the profession of nursing and caring for other people. "I love collaborating, relating and talking to patients. I love my job, which is really important. You have to love your job and the people you work with," Delacruz said. "Everything I do is an act of service to God, and I love making a difference in the lives of our patients. I feel so humbled and honored to receive this award."
Bayhealth congratulates Thompson and Delacruz on winning Nurses of the Year. Visit Bayhealth.org/careers for more information on working at Bayhealth.

Thomas Tuchel has already made his feelings on Chelsea clear as Barcelona target German coach
The Blues manager is reportedly being eyed by Barcelona president Joan Laporta, but Thomas Tuchel has already stated his happiness to be at Stamford Bridge
Bobby VincentChelsea Writer
Thomas Tuchel on Mason Mount's influence
Barcelona president Joan Laporta is reportedly considering the possibility of making a move for Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel ahead of next season.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan club are interested in making a shock move for the German coach with Ronald Koeman widely expected to be relieved of his duties in the coming weeks.
Barca are currently in sixth-place in La Liga after failing to win in three of their opening six league matches and Koeman has come under increasing pressure in the hot-seat at the Nou Camp.
Laporta is said to have already made his mind up on the former Everton boss and the club will make an official announcement as soon as the president finds a suitable replacement for the Dutchman.

Tuchel is said to be an option, alongside River Plate manager Marcelo Gallardo and Belgium boss Roberto Martinez.
But Tuchel is thought to be Barca's main target as Laporta looks to lure the German away from Chelsea.
The former Paris Saint-Germain head coach recently signed a two-year contract extension following Chelsea's Champions League triumph earlier this year and made his feelings perfectly clear on the west London club following the renewal.
"I cannot imagine a better occasion for a contract renewal. I am grateful for the experience and very happy to stay part of the Chelsea family," Tuchel said in early-June.

"There is far more to come and we are looking forward to our next steps with ambition and much anticipation."
When Tuchel arrived at Chelsea, it was unclear how he would adapt to life in the Premier League and especially at a club like the Blues, who are notoriously ruthless with their managers.
However, Tuchel has managed to prove Gary Neville wrong, with the former Manchester United defender admitting that in May.
He said: "To be fair, since he's come in, their fortunes, defensively, have changed, Tuchel has made them brilliant defensively and he is a big part of that.
"The impact on Chelsea, getting to a Champions League final, finishing where they are now in the league compared to where they are."
Chelsea supporters will be desperate for Tuchel to stay around for the foreseeable future after what he has already achieved at the club since taking over from Frank Lampard in January.
As well as this, Barcelona's recent financial troubles make it difficult to believe that the club could lure Tuchel to La Liga.

Q: How can I create a shared string over the internet which is accessible through different C# Web Apps? Two programs want to talk to one another. They both need some way to address one another. The addresses are two strings I've stored in a common location (on cloud, perhaps), which allows them to talk to one another.
Now, I have access to Azure services and I can easily create a dummy database table which will contain this entry, and I'll set the value from one program, access it from the other using SQL queries.
Is there a more elegant solution? I don't need to store any special objects, just a simple string.
The limitation here is, I cannot do socket message passing because it isn't my intention to 'wait' for the message. The programs have other things to be doing, and they will periodically check this shared string, if it is not null they will talk to the address in the string. If it is null, they carry on with whatever they were doing.
I'm trying to abstract away the notion of 'address' in this question, intentionally, since I'm not looking to solve the larger problem of designing the programs. Only the specific issue of the shared string object.

A: You don't specify any non functional requirements in terms of scalability, performance, etc.  There are probably 1000s of ways to do this, using SQL Azure is one.
This kind of thing (shared state) is usually handled by a distributed cache service (in Azure the recommended one is Redis cache), which would be faster than SQL Azure.
You could also go for Service Fabric clusters with persisted state that would be replicated between nodes - overkill for a string, but I don't think that's probably your end game?
You can then also use queues and subscriptions, Azure Storage queues or Servicebus - depending on how you wanted the messages to flow or get/set updates.
You could also use a storage account (Blobs, Tables, File Share) to share the data in.  Think Ill stop there unless you narrow down the requirements a little!

A: If you want a hack but quick solution, try DropBox.  Create a public area with access Url and put a shared file there. See here for more details.

'Love Actually' Mini-Sequel Will Not Include A Tribute To...
'Love Actually' Mini-Sequel Will Not Include A Tribute To Alan Rickman
By Stephanie Chase in Movies / TV / Theatre on 20 February 2017
Follow Alan Rickman
Alan Rickman Emma Thompson Richard Curtis Liam Neeson Love Actually
The Red Nose Day special will air on BBC One, March 24.
Love Actually director Richard Curtis has confirmed that the upcoming mini-sequel for Red Nose Day will not feature a tribute to the late Alan Rickman.
Rickman died aged 69 in January of last year, after a short, private battle with pancreatic cancer.
In the original 2003 film Rickman starred as a married man, tempted by his young, attractive co-worker, who he eventually buys an expensive necklace for as a Christmas present.
The Love Actually sequel will not feature an Alan Rickman tribute
When asked by the Press Association if the special would pay tribute to Rickman, Curtis said: "You know dealing with Alan is very complicated so not really.
"We're not doing everyone," he continued. "We're doing about two thirds of people." The sequel also won't feature Emma Thompson, who played Rickman's wife, as Curtis said the actress "just can't do it."
But the sequel will include Liam Neeson, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Keira Knightley, Andrew Lincoln, Martine McCutcheon, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Bill Nighy and Rowan Atkinson.
More: 'Love Actually' Sequel Special To Be Broadcast On Red Nose Day
Speaking about the special Curtis said: "Over the years I've enjoyed doing Red Nose Day specials on TV things I've worked on – Blackadder, The Vicar of Dibley, and Mr Bean.
"It seemed like a fun idea this year to do a special sketch based on one of my films, since Red Nose Day is now in both the UK and America," the director added.
"I would never have dreamt of writing a sequel to Love Actually , but I thought it might be fun to do ten minutes to see what everyone is now up to."

At this month's workshop we learned how to sew an apron. Been there; done that; embroidered the pocket. Which is probably why I completely forgot about the workshop until 5 p.m. the night before. I had no fabric, no pattern. Heather Walker sent an email suggesting we wash our fabric before the workshop. I was already a step behind.
Heather Kaye, who carpools with me, was equally slack. She too hadn't visited Fabricland for her supplies, as instructed. Reluctant but loyal Renaissancers, we attended the workshop anyway. We felt it would let down the group by not showing up. Even if all we did was drink teafarm tea and have a giggle.
We arrived late with two beastly sewing machines and a baby in a beastly car seat (note to self: must re-invent bucket car seat). The other Renaissancers welcomed us with warm smiles while listening to instructions from charming sewing expert and workshop leader, Maggie Beischer. Heather and I were catching up on what we'd missed when the smell of freshly baked cookies filled up my senses like a John Denver ballad. Within 5 minutes of arriving, I regretted not having put more effort into preparing for this workshop.
Heather and I did our best, which, given the outcome, is pathetic. The sum of our combined 2-hour sewing effort to make a child's apron is two pockets (which inspired me to sing Hot Pockets repeatedly), and one shoulder strap.
Our lack of finished product doesn't represent how much we enjoyed our afternoon, nor how much we learned. Heather now knows how to thread her antique machine, which, until the workshop, frustrated her, and I now know how to thread a bobbin. And we learned new vocabulary, like selvage — and bobbin.
Not sure I'll ever sew pumpkin costumes for Halloween, but maybe I could hem those yoga pants I've been dragging around for the last two years (though with all the friction, they seem to be hemming themselves). When I mentioned that to the Mister, he just shook his head and smirked. A little hurtful, but warranted.
Well said Maeve! I am so grateful you were my partner in slackdom.
I'll tell you what, if you sew that dress I will be SEW impressed (argh). You're inspiring me to take on my own sewing project. Pillowcases sound just about right. Heck, I've already made two pockets; pillowcases are just bigger versions of the same, no?
Sorry for throwing you under the bus with me. Next time, let's promise each other we will not slack!

Oooooooops.......I've just made a big mistake and my wife is not happy!
Oooooooops…….I've just made a big mistake and my wife is not happy!
Okay guys, here's a heads up. Just so you know.
Despite its name, a 'joint' account isn't what you think it would be for.
It was only after I was in a drug induced haze with an empty bank account, and with my wife's screams barely penetrating the smokey fog, that I realised her idea for the 'joint' account was completely different to mine!
Okay, now you know I'm just kidding!
You may have thought the joke was funny, you may have hated it, you may have been offended by the drug references and thought I shouldn't make light of a serious social issue.
The point is this: it's very, very hard to use humour as an effective marketing tool. What you think is funny isn't always what others think is funny (that's why my wife never actually laughs at my jokes). And it is very hard to get your sense of humour across most of the time.
Done effectively, humour can work great in marketing. But it's real tricky to do it effectively. Tread carefully.

Quebec investigation examining how a Cree man died after stay in Waskaganish jail
National News | January 3, 2018 by Danielle Rochette Attributed to: | 2 Comments
Danielle Rochette
Quebec's Bureau of Independent Investigation (BII) is looking into how a 24-year old man died after being locked in a jail cell in the Cree community of Waskaganish, 1055 km northwest of Montreal on the shores of James Bay.
According to a statement released by the Eeyou Eenou Police, officers were called to a residence in the community at around 1 p.m. on Mon. Jan., 1 and found Brandon Stephen, a father of two, intoxicated and threatening to harm himself.
Police said he was then taken into custody.
(On November 16, Stephen wrote 'Keep your head up even thou you feel like giving up' on his Facebook page)
According to police, Stephen was up and moving in his cell but at about 11 p.m. he informed guards that he wasn't feeling well.
He was then transferred to the medical clinic in the community where he died at around 3 a.m.
The release states that investigators arrived in Waskaganish on Tuesday and have started an investigation.
This is the second case of a man in northern Quebec dying after being involved with police.
On December 29, the BII said it was investigating a police shooting that took the life of a 22-year old man in Umiujaq, 580 km north on the coast of Hudson Bay.

Brandon was an exceptional young man. He was kind, respectful, and loved the traditional way of life as taught to him by his father. He was a great provider of traditional food for his family, and a loving father to his children. Gone too soon and will be greatly missed. Just wanted ya'll to know that.

Apple might owe you money for slowing down your iPhone — here's how to file a claim
By Hyeji Suh
FOX TV Digital Team
Apple customers who purchased certain older iPhone models can now collect about $25 per phone, according to the settlement of a class-action lawsuit that accused the company of slowing down older devices.
LOS ANGELES - Apple customers who purchased certain older iPhone models can now collect about $25 per phone, according to the settlement of a class-action lawsuit that accused the company of slowing down older devices.
According to SmartphonePerformanceSettlement.com, a website set up for customers to file their claims, the settlement applies to customers who purchased an iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus and/or the SE before Dec. 21, 2017 and experienced performance and battery-life issues.
"Under the proposed settlement, Apple shall pay a minimum of $310,000,000 and a maximum of $500,000,000," read a notice on the claims website. "Apple will provide a cash payment of approximately $25 per eligible device, provided that Apple will not pay more than $500 million in aggregate to the Settlement Class Members."
The website was developed for affected customers looking to file their claims or review their other options, including excluding themselves from the lawsuit to retain the ability to sue Apple individually.
Users must submit a claim online or through mail by Oct. 6 to be eligible for a payout.
Earlier this year, Apple agreed to pay up to $500 million as part of the settlement agreement for the "Batterygate" scandal that has prevailed for years.
The tech giant admitted in 2017 that it used software updates to slow down older iPhones, and offered an official apology and reduced prices for battery replacement programs.

Он с большим мастерством исполнял такие зерби-мугамы, как «Шуштэр», «Чахаргях», «Кюрд-Шахназ», особенно «Эйраты», «Мансуриййе», «Карабахская шикесте» и др. В истории азербайджанского искусства ханенде Мешади Мамед Фарзалиев известен виртуозным исполнением мугама «Шуштэр».

В 1923 году получил приглашение преподавать мугам в новооткрытой городской музыкальной школе в Гяндже, где сыграл большую роль в подготовке молодых ханенде. С 1926 года Фарзалиев в сопровождении трио исполнителей мугама неоднократно выступал во многих городах России, Польши, Германии, Франции, Бельгии, Англии, Румынии, Турции и Ирана. В 1929 году переехал в Турцию, где и прожил до конца жизни. Скончался Фарзалиев в 1962 году в Стамбуле.

This article is sponsored by Evelar Solar. Evelar Solar installs top quality, beautifully designed solar technology with no upfront costs. Every system they install comes with a free Nest Learning Thermostat.
By now you probably know about the big solar deadline. After November 14th, 2017, Rocky Moutain Power will pay you less for the electricity you generate on your home solar system. Also, there will be a new $150 fee for the metering system.
You can avoid the fee and get the full compensation by immediately calling a trusted and experienced home solar company like Evelar Solar.
Don't panic. The solar power industry has been preparing for this for a while now. Home solar will continue to be an amazing money saving and home equity growing investment. You'll just need to be smarter about who you choose as your home solar partner. Here are a few things to look for.
The best home solar companies individually design their systems for a home's unique situation. There can be a lot of factors that impact the design including the orientation of the roof panels, the slope and shape, and even the age of the roof. A good solar company will also look at nearby trees to see how the sun hits different parts of the roof at different times of the day.
There's a lot that goes into it, so pick a partner that will do it all. You don't want to be caught up in filing permits or making trips to the hardware store. An experienced company like Evelar Solar can handle the entire process including permits.
You don't want to cut corners on a system that will not only power your home but also sit on your roof. A top quality company like Evelar Solar will bring high-level expertise and equipment. This expertise is an investment that's worth making.
But what if you don't have the cash? There's no reason to pay any money upfront. Don't limit the quality or possibilities, instead use the easy financing options to get exactly what you need.
Obviously, solar equipment is specialized technology that you can't easily repair or replace on your own. Protect yourself and your investment. Evelar Solar has a 25-year warranty on system components and a 10-year warranty on workmanship. Guarantees like that will help you stay confident in the process and the product. Evelar Solar also features ongoing system monitoring, to make sure everything is working properly.
If you don't sign up before the deadline, don't give up on home solar. The Evelar Solar team can make sure your system is top quality, affordable, money-saving, and beautiful both before AND after November 14th.

Q: Spring Batch: Ignore any line that does not match the specified pattern I have a requirement where I read a file with different kinds of input as below:
*JAMBEG,APP=000007,123456
AC,654321,"ABCD12121212121212",23423423423424234,ABCDD,23423423423424234,2424,XYZ,ABC,TREX,000000002
AC,654321,"ABCD12121212121213",23423423423424234,ABCDD,23423423423424234,2424,XYZ,ABC, TREX,000000002
...
AC,654321,"ABCD12121212121214",23423423423424234,ABCDD,23423423423424234,2424,XYZ,ABC, TREX,000000002
*JAMEND,APP=000007,123456
EOF

I need only the Header line and the records following that, ignoring the line that starts with TREX, *JAMEND, EOF.
Here is how my line mapper is:
public LineMapper<Customer> lineMapper(){

    DelimitedLineTokenizer lineTokenizerHeader = new DelimitedLineTokenizer();
    lineTokenizerHeader.setNames(new String[]{"association","companyNumber","fileDate"});
    lineTokenizerHeader.setIncludedFields(new int[]{0,1,2});
    lineTokenizerHeader.setStrict(false);

    DelimitedLineTokenizer lineTokenizerBody = new DelimitedLineTokenizer();
    lineTokenizerBody.setNames(new String[]{"type","acNumber","orderNumber"});
    lineTokenizerBody.setIncludedFields(new int[]{0,1,2});
    lineTokenizerBody.setStrict(false);

    HashMap<String, DelimitedLineTokenizer> tokenizers = new HashMap<String, DelimitedLineTokenizer>();
    tokenizers.put("*BEG*", lineTokenizerHeader);
    tokenizers.put("AC*", lineTokenizerBody);

    BeanWrapperFieldSetMapper<Customer> beanWrapperFieldSetMapper = new BeanWrapperFieldSetMapper<Customer>();
    beanWrapperFieldSetMapper.setTargetType(Customer.class);
    beanWrapperFieldSetMapper.setStrict(false);

    HashMap<String, BeanWrapperFieldSetMapper<Customer>> fieldSetMappers = new HashMap<String, BeanWrapperFieldSetMapper<Customer>>();
    fieldSetMappers.put("*BEG*", beanWrapperFieldSetMapper);
    fieldSetMappers.put("AC*", beanWrapperFieldSetMapper);

    PatternMatchingCompositeLineMapper patternMatchingCompositeLineMapper = new PatternMatchingCompositeLineMapper();
    patternMatchingCompositeLineMapper.setTokenizers(tokenizers);
    patternMatchingCompositeLineMapper.setFieldSetMappers(fieldSetMappers);

    return patternMatchingCompositeLineMapper;
}

Its my obvious mistake that I don't have any mapping for TREX, *JAMEND, EOF patterns. Hence it throws the below exception:

I looked at many examples, this one matched close, and changed my step as below, but still the same issue.
@Bean
public Step step(){
    return stepBuilders.get("step")
    .<Customer,Customer>chunk(1)
    .reader(CustomerAUFileReader())
    .faultTolerant()
    .skipLimit(3)
    .skip(Exception.class)
    .processor(CustomerRecordProcessor())
    .writer(CustomerDBWriter())
    .listener(logProcessListener())
    .build();
}

Looked at the Spring.io docs here for skipping records (5.1.5 Configuring Skip Logic), does not work either.
Please let me know the ideal way to get around this issue. Should there not be an easy way to specify skipping records that do not match specific cases? Please advise. Thanks.

I have a pattern mapper for '*' which I am mapping with a dummy class. I am returning null at the process stage but its throwing nullpointerexception.

A: One approach:
Have your ItemReader simply read a line and return as is.  Therefore the items given by the reader will be a simple String.
Write a simple ItemProcessor, which mostly do the work of your LineMapper, base on a pattern for example: if the item matches with a pattern, then translate the input string to your Customer return.  If pattern not matching, simply return null and the item will be skipped.
psuedo code for the item processor:
class CustomPatternMatchingItemProcessor<String, Customer>
        implements ItemProcessor<String, Customer> {
    private String pattern;

    public Customer process(String s) {
        if (s matches pattern) {
            construct Customer object base on s
            return customer
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    }
}

Or even cleaner: have one processor do the work of mapping from String to Customer, and another processor to do the validation of string base on regex.
just chain your processors using a CompositeItemProcessor.  This give a even better separation of concern for each of your processor.

A: I have a similiar issue, where the file I am sent will always have some lines that don't fit the correct pattern. As I just want to ignore these lines, I log them, and skip them.
You can implement
org.springframework.batch.repeat.exception.ExceptionHandler like such:
class LocalExceptionHandler implements ExceptionHandler {

    @Override
    public void handleException(RepeatContext rc, Throwable throwable) throws Throwable {
        if (throwable instanceof FlatFileParseException) {
            FlatFileParseException fe = (FlatFileParseException)throwable;
            log.error("!!!! FlatFileParseException, line # is: " + fe.getLineNumber());
            log.error("!!!! FlatFileParseException, input is: " + fe.getInput());
        }
        log.error("!!!! Message : " + throwable.getMessage());
        log.error("!!!! Cause : " + throwable.getCause());
    }
}

and then add that to your step builder:
faultTolerantStepBuilder.exceptionHandler(new LocalExceptionHandler());
faultTolerantStepBuilder.skipLimit(100);

A: Your intention is not to skip object due to errors, but skip records with a logic; I think your best option is put a mapper binded to '*' and return a custom object (like a SkippableRecordBean) instead of a Customer and filter out unwanted beans in ItemProcessor.

A: We started returning Dummy object from the LineMapper instead of null as null causes the reader to skip reading other lines. In the ItemWriter, the write method still gets this dummy object and you need to validate before processing it. We ignore the dummy records in the ItemWriter.

A: public class FileVerificationSkipper implements SkipPolicy {

    @Autowired
    private Environment environment;

    @Override
    public boolean shouldSkip(Throwable exception, int skipCount) throws SkipLimitExceededException {
        int skipErrorsRecords = Integer.valueOf(environment.getProperty("max.error.record.count"));
        if (exception instanceof FileNotFoundException) {
            return false;
        } else if (exception instanceof FlatFileParseException && (skipErrorsRecords < 0 || skipCount <= (skipErrorsRecords-1))) {
            FlatFileParseException ffpe = (FlatFileParseException) exception;
            StringBuilder errorMessage = new StringBuilder();
            errorMessage.append((skipCount+1)+", An error occured while processing the " + ffpe.getLineNumber() + " record of the file. the faulty record is:\n");

...but I didn't. What can I say? Unexpected computer problems at my day job prevented me from accessing the internet, let alone working on anything, for two days this week. I've also been increasingly excited about me & the mister's fifth wedding anniversary tomorrow (tomorrow!), for which we're packing up and shipping out early tomorrow morning for three days & two nights in our favorite place: Pacific Grove (a suburb, if you can call it that, of Monterey). We'll be eating, drinking & biking (!) our way through the two cities, and its going to be absolutely divine.
For the record, we'll be staying at our favorite bed & breakfast, the Gosby House Inn, and dining tomorrow evening at our favorite restaurant, Passionfish. But that's after we cruise into Monterey early in the day with the top down, have fajitas/margaritas at Monterey's El Torito, and probably hit up the Monterey Bay Aquarium for a few hours. What will be left to do on Monday & Tuesday? Who knows, and who cares! I can't wait.
Until we return with many happy memories & photos of our adventures, here are a few phone snaps of life at Chez Gregory this past week.
One night, bored, I made up a soup. Here's what went into it!
Black bean burgers, made from scratch!
Our new coffee--since we only drink it iced, anyway!


The ancestors of the Salar people were the Samarkand people who migrated from central Asia to China during the Yuan Dynasty (1271 AD-1368 AD). They entered into the eastern Qinghai Province and settled down in the Dunhua area. The continuous integration of the Samarkand people with Tibetans, Huis, Hans, and Mongolians finally gave birth to the present Salar ethnic group.
The Salar people call themselves "Salar'er". Han people usually call them "Sala", "Salacu", "Salahui", etc.
With the founding of the PRC in 1949, following consultation with this ethnic group, the official name of "Salar Ethnic Group" was established. The Salar people have their own language that belongs to the Turkic branch of the Altaic language family. As a result of frequent contact with the Han, Hui and Tibetan people, the language of the Salar contains quite a number of words taken from the Chinese and Tibetan languages. These days most young and middle-aged can speak Chinese. The language of the Salar people has no written form and Han character is widely used in daily life.
The Salar are Islamic Turkic speakers living in a semi-desert area, They are herders of sheep and some cattle. Their diet consists largely of steamed buns and a variety of noodles made of highland barley, wheat and buckwheat. They can be found mostly in Qinghai and Gansu Provinces.

Michael Gove admits 'communication confusion' over EU ventilator scheme mix-up
Michael Gove
Sunday 29 March 2020, 11:49am
Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove has admitted there was "communication confusion" after the Government missed the deadline to join an EU scheme to get extra ventilators amid the coronavirus outbreak.
It comes after the official spokesperson for the Prime Minister said the UK had decided against joining the EU's procurement scheme - as the UK is no longer a member of the EU - earlier this week.
The Government has ordered 8,000 additional ventilators to boost the stock of 8,000 already available to the NHS.
PM pleaded 'we need ventilators', says Donald Trump
Length of coronavirus lockdown measures 'not absolutely fixed', says Cabinet minister

A No 10 spokespeson said officials did not get emails inviting the UK to join the EU scheme, and it could opt in to future schemes.
It sparked calls from opposition MPs - including Liberal Democrat Layla Moran - that the Government is putting Brexit ideology over demand for essential equipment.
The ventilators the NHS needs going into mass production - and Dyson isn't involved
Covid-19: UK doctors are 'deeply apprehensive' about a surge in cases
Speaking on The Andrew Marr Show on the BBC, Mr Gove said: "There was some confusion over our involvement in that scheme.
"But I've talked to senior figures in the NHS and they've reassured me that there is nothing that we can't do as an independent nation that being part of that scheme would have allowed us to do."
Quizzed on whether an email was received by the Government, Mr Gove said: "There was some communication confusion, I don't know all the details of that".
He added: "I do know having talked to senior figures in the NHS that there's nothing that participating in that scheme would have allowed us to do that we have not been able to do ourselves."

Mr Gove also issued an apology to a company which said it did not receive a reply from the Government, having offered to procure ventilators for the NHS.
An NHS supplier in Nantwich said that in the international market it had found 25,000 ventilators which it could have procured for the Government.
The supplier said that having asked the Government if it wanted the ventilators, it did not receive a reply.
Doctors working through the coronavirus in an intensive care unit in Italy have warned of a lack of ventilators. Credit: AP
Mr Gove told Andrew Marr: "I'm very sorry if that company says that it didn't get a reply, I'll investigate as soon as I've stopped talking to you.
"It is the case that for companies that have got in touch with the Government, those offers of help have been forwarded to the relevant people in the NHS and in other aspects of Government, in order to make sure we secure those supplies."
Dyson to build at least 15,000 ventilators to treat coronavirus patients
Companies bidding to make coronavirus ventilators must pass safety tests, Downing Street says
Dyson has unveiled its ventilators, but the machines must first pass testing. Credit: Dyson
Mr Gove added that the company could "get in touch directly" and said "we'll investigate".
The Cabinet minister said: "There have been some cases where people had hoped they might be able to help, but in fact the material that they produce has not met the NHS specifications".
He continued: "We have been following up every single lead presented to us."
The number of virus-related deaths in the UK rose by 209 on Sunday, bringing the total death toll since the outbreak began to 1,288.
It came as the Government warned it "will not hesitate" to strengthen lockdown measures in a bid to stop the spread of the virus.

Q: Using OnStateChanged listener simultaneously with OnTouchListener I am implementing a rotary knob based on this library.
This View comes with a onStateChanged listener that tells me the current position of the knob.
val knob = findViewById<View>(R.id.knob) as Knob
knob.setOnStateChanged(object: Knob.OnStateChanged{
    override fun onState(state: Int) {
        // do stuff
    }
})

In addition to that, I want to know when the user is no longer pressing/holding the knob (similar to a button release). I tried to achieve this with a onTouch listener.
knob.setOnTouchListener(object: View.OnTouchListener{
    override fun onTouch(view: View?, event: MotionEvent?): Boolean {
        // do stuff
    }
})

Problem: When I add a second onTouch listener, it is no longer possible to hold and rotate the view for some reason. I do not know whether this is a problem of this particular library or Android in general.
Any suggestions on how to implement the wanted features?

A: A view can only have a single OnTouchListener. Unfortunately, the author of that library implemented some of its functionality using an OnTouchListener, which prevents users from using an OnTouchListener.
An alternative for you would be to subclass Knob and override onMotionEvent, like this:
class MyKnob: Knob {

    constructor(context: Context): super(context)

    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet): super(context, attrs)

    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet, defStyleAttr: Int): super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr)

    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet, defStyleAttr: Int, defStyleRes: Int): super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes)

    override fun onTouchEvent(event: MotionEvent): Boolean {
        val result = super.onTouchEvent(event)
        if (event.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
            // User released knob
        }
        return result
    }

}

Then you'd need to use this class in your layout instead of the original Knob class.

Japan Official promises speedy delivery of new fisheries complex in Nevis
April 30, 2012 in NIA
Chief Representative of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JIAC) Mr. Shoji Ozawa delivering remarks at the Grant Signing and Exchange of Notes ceremony between the Governments of Japan and St. Kitts and Nevis for the Charlestown Community Fisheries Complex at Gallows Bay on April 27, 2012
NIA CHARLESTOWN NEVIS (April 30, 2012) — Chief Representative of the Japan International Cooperation (JICA) Mr. Shoji Ozawa the mega quake which rocked Japan in 2011, reminded his organisation of the importance of reciprocal help through international cooperation and promised a speedy delivery of the Charlestown Fisheries Community Complex.
He spoke of his country's unwavering commitment to the project on Friday April 27, 2012, at a Grant Signing and Notes Exchange ceremony between the Governments of Japan and St. Kitts and Nevis, at Gallows Bay in Charlestown.
"JICA has strongly decided to continue our efforts to contribute mutual understanding and development in the world. In that regard, I promise that this project will be completed successfully without any delay and trouble and deliver it to you on time," he said.
Mr. Ozawa explained that JICA had worked with St. Kitts and Nevis and for the past 30 years they were mindful of people to people and face to face cooperation. In so doing, they had invited personnel from various sectors to Japan for JICA's technical training programme and shared experiences and knowledge.
"So far, over 50 personnel from your country have utilised this programme and they have established an alumni association for taking advantage of their experience in Japan for this country," he said.
The Organisation's Chief Representative further explained, that JICA had emphasised collaboration with the Fisheries Departments through projects which included the construction of fisheries centres and fish markets in Basseterre and Old Road (St. Kitts), which had contributed to economic growth because of the excellent management of those facilities.
He added that the Organisation had also dispatched JICA fisheries experts in fisheries extension, for the provision of further technical training assistance to fishers in acquisition of the relevant gear, equipment and methods technology.
"According to the Budget Address in 2012, it is reported that fish landings increased by 29.8 percent to 394, 390 pounds with a value of $3.9 million, when compared to the same period in 2010.
"I believe that collaboration between you and JICA people have contributed to that kind of achievement. The Charlestown fisheries centre must be able to lead multiplier for future progress," he said.
In conclusion, Mr. Ozawa stated he was hopeful that the project would help further solidify the mutual goodwill and friendly relations between St. Kitts/Nevis and Japan.

Two bullets for Belcher and Ryan elevates the Aussies in Hyeres
Sailors are always thrilled when they have a return of straight race victories. Then there are times when they are happy to come out in one piece, still within touching distance of the medals.
That was the case today at Sailing's World Cup Series in Hyères, France as chaos reigned in the Laser Radial fleet.
The competition in Hyères reached a critical stage on Friday with Medal Races imminent.
Saturday's racing will see the see the skiffs, windsurfers, multihulls and foiling kiteboarders fight for the medals after a day that saw all the competitors make a final dash to reach the top ten.
Medal Races on Saturday 29 April will be streamed live on World Sailing's Facebook and YouTube Channel. URLs and embed codes are below:
WCS Hyères – Medal Races – RS:X, 49er, 49erFX, Nacra 17, Kiteboarding

Meanwhile, the one person and two person dinghies leaderboards have taken shape with two fleet races and Sunday's Medal Races to follow.
WCS Hyères – Medal Races – 470, Finn, Laser, Laser Radial
URL – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiLMa8QoXWI
Overnight, the forecast for racing on Friday was not looking good and Hyères was expected to be on the receiving end of 30knots of breeze, gusting 35. The breeze was strong in the morning and sailing postponed as the conditions were not deemed safe enough to sail. As the day progressed the breeze decreased enabling all but one fleet, the 2.4 Norlin OD, to hit the water.
The Laser Radial saw a day of chaos but Evi van Acker (BEL) has been there and done it. Van Acker was beaming with a smile ashore after racing following a sixth and 13th place to take the lead.
Explaining the day van Acker said, "We waited a couple of hours because it was too windy, then we got out there and it wasn't windy at all. Then it was shifty. We were far out today between fighting winds coming from the left, then the right, so today you didn't know where you were."
It was probably making sense of the chaos that brought the smile to van Acker's face, "When we were racing there were very big variations in wind and strength so you were winning, then in the middle.
"It was crazy, but I did ok.
"I had some pretty good results in some very tough conditions."
Van Acker is 12 points clear of Tuula Tenkanen (FIN).
Overnight leader, Hungary's Maria Erdi, crept over the start line for her second black flag of the regatta and has fallen to ninth.
If van Acker was confused, then so was the young Hungarian, "I didn't push the line. I mean I didn't know what was happening at the start. Wind was shifting. People at the pin end. Wind turned. I just didn't know what was happening."
Carrying two maximum scores in a one discard regatta effectively puts you out of the running, so what now for Erdi, "If I make the top ten I am happy. That was my goal before the regatta started and it's still my goal."
Italy's Francesco Marrai took the shifty conditions in his stride with a bullet and fourth place to move him top above Cypriot Pavlos Kontides.
Great Britain's Nick Thompson is now tied with Kontides with an impressive second and third place. Those scores were impressive as second placed Kontides and fourth placed Matt Wearn (AUS) both had high scores on the day which they had to discard.
With another day of qualification racing before Sunday's live Medal Race, the top order in the fleet could yet again switch around as a competitive Laser fleet continue to battle.
It was a day of contrasts in the Men's and Women's 470. Blows were exchanged between the leaders in the women's and the men's saw some knock outs.
Still on the same points total, Afrodite Zegers and Annaloes van Veen (NED) and Linda Fahrni and Maja Siegenthaler (SUI) both notched up a bullet and second place to ensure that the Hyères title goes right down to the wire. With one more day of racing before the Medal Race, you wouldn't bet against these two going in to a double points decider neck and neck.
With a perfect two bullet day, Rio 2016 silver medallist's Mat Belcher and Will Ryan now have a 19-point buffer over second placed Carl -Fredrik Fock and Marcus Dackhammar (SWE).
Overnight leaders, Panagiotis Mantis and Pavlos Kagialis have dropped after a 21-22 day which they have to carry. They now sit on 54 compared to the Australians 14 and the reason was simple, "We had really bad starts today," said a despondent Mantis, "We also missed the first shift and when you do both of those you are in trouble. It was such a bad day."
The Greeks will have to recover their composure quickly and return to winning ways just to stay in contention for medals after an impressive opening three days of racing.
What a day Spain's Diego Botin and Iago Marra had in the 49er. Coming in the day the Spaniards were in medal contention. At the end of the day they had guaranteed themselves a gold medal. With a bullet, sixth and 11th, Botin and Marra have an unassailable 27 point lead ahead of the Medal Race.
Great Britain's Dylan Fletcher-Scott and Stu Bithell and Sweden's Carl Sylvan and Marcus Anjemark are tied on 76 points and will fight it out with Yago and Klaus Lange, on 83 points, for silver and bronze.
Fast becoming a regular sentence in a 49erFX day review, Brazil's Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze are in first place. Looking to add yet another gold to their ever growing collection, the Rio 2016 Olympic champions hold pole position for a Hyères win with an eight point lead over nearest rivals Victoria Jurczok and Anika Lorenz (GER).
There were some big climbers in the RS:X fleets shaking things up before Saturday's live Medal Race.
France's Louis Giard now sits top of the men's fleet after a 1-4-5 scoreline which gives him a one point advantage over the man who has occupied pole position all week, Switzerland's Mateo Sanz Lanz. The Swiss windsurfer could only card a 9-14-8 which are all scores he carries.
Winner of the first World Cup Series event in Miami, USA, Yunxiu Lu (CHN) was head and shoulders above the Women's RS:X fleet, claiming a bullet and two seconds. She leapfrogs several rivals into second. With a 19-point lead, Poland's Zofia Noceti-Klepacka remains top going into the double points Medal Race.
Fernando Echavarri and Tara Pacheco (ESP) hold a seven-point advantage over their nearest rivals, France's Moana Vaireaux and Manon Audinet in the Nacra 17. The Spanish pair finished the qualifying series with a bullet which made up for a discarded tenth place in the previous race. Add to that a second place and it was enough to lift them above the French team who scored 11-2-5.
On day three, Turkey's Alican Kaynar thought the then leader Nicholas Heiner (NED) had sailed conservative to take the lead. Well Kaynar was anything but as he took two bullets to take top spot from the Dutch sailor's grasp.
Damien Seguin (FRA) remains on course to win a seventh Hyères title in the 2.4 Norlin OD. The Frenchman was somewhat lucky however, that the fleet only raced once as he was back onshore fixing a mechanical issue on his boat while his competitors were out racing. Spain's Rafa Andarias claimed the only bullet on offer to lift himself in to fourth position. Two races will bring the 2.4 Norlin OD fleet to a close on Saturday
French friends and rivals, Nicolas Parlier and Axel Mazella continue to lead the way in the Formula Foiling Kiteboarding. Parlier has the upper hand with five wins from six races which gives him a four-point lead over Mazella. It was day of mixed fortunes for Mazella, but still good enough to give him a 22-point cushion over third placed Toni Vodisek (SLO)
Racing continues on Saturday 29 April at 11:00 local time with the first day of Live Medal Races shown on the World Sailing YouTube Channel. Sunday 30 April will be the second day of Live Medal Races and will bring the penultimate event before the Santander Final to a close.

Taylor Swift vs Donald Trump: Who has a higher influence score on Twitter?
Despite only tweeting just over a dozen times this year, country and pop star Taylor Swift topped Brandwatch's annual ranking of the most influential people on Twitter, beating out President Donald Trump.
The singer-songwriter, who finished her Reputation tour this fall and has a home in Nashville, netted an influence score of 98, the British-based social media monitoring company found.
The list, released Wednesday, measures engagement numbers using influencer metrics.

In the male category, pop singer Liam Payne, who has 33 million followers, topped the charts by netting an influence score of 97. Trump placed second in that category with an influence score of 96.
Since she joined Twitter in 2008, Tay Tay has tweeted 99 times (with only 13 so far in 2018) but mustered about 84 million followers.
By comparison, the president joined in 2009 and as of Thursday had just under 56 million followers.
According to the Trump Twitter Archive,Trump has posted about 3,200 tweets so far this year.
