During Envisioning Phase the main business requirements are gathered and the project scope is defined. At this stage a rough cost estimate and time frame for the project is defined. These estimates will be refined during the Planning Phase. Envisioning ends when all parts involved agree on the scope (defined in terms of functionality) of the project.
In the Planning Phase all the high level requirements determined in the Envisioning phase are refined and documented, the detailed project plans and technical design are developed. The Planning Phase ends when all plans and the technical design are completed and agreed with the customer.
During Development Phase we develop the technical solution according to the specified requirements. Frequent builds of the solution are developed; each build adds more features, until all the requirements are fulfilled. The advantage of frequent build is that you can participate in the development phase, and watch your solution growing. The development phase ends when all the requirements are covered by specific features and functions of the solution.
During Stabilizing Phase we test the solution and eliminate any errors discovered. Typical test performed during this phase are: User Acceptance and Usability Testing, Performance Testing, Integration Testing, Security Testing, and many other tests that ensure a high quality solution. This phase ends when all known bugs are fixed and no new bugs are discovered.
Finally in the Deployment Phase the solution is installed in the production environment and the acceptance tests are rolled out. This phase ends with the acceptance sign-off and project review which ends the development of the current version, and we are ready for the next version. After the solution acceptance the project enters in the maintenance phase and all the knowledge is transferred to your staff or our operations, depending on your wish.
Solid knowledge is the result of a sustained and continuous learning process. This is why we encourage continuous, structured learning and training. The result is that all of our people hold at least one technical certification or business degree.
We work in a relaxed and creative environment and we have a strong preference for blue jeans. However, we firmly believe that software development also requires discipline, formalization and hard work sometimes. We are willing to draw higher goals higher and always enjoy a challenge.
If you have a genuine interest in programming, are passionate about technology and you have a strong sense of humor then we are interested in meeting you. Please send us your resume at jobs@essensys.ro and we will contact you.

Please set aside whatever you know of Romania and let us tell you about our Romania. What you already know is probably not the entire truth.
Our Romania is different. On the one hand Romania is a beautiful country with beautiful, intelligent and lively people. On the other hand Romania shines when it comes to IT and mathematics.
Romania has a tradition for mathematics and informatics with several top technical universities and excellent IT&C educational facilities.
Romania has won more informatics and mathematics contests than every other european nation and it is the third in the world (and we are even better at gymnastics :) ).
Most of the big technology providers like Microsoft, IBM or Oracle have an important presence in Romania as well as considerable growth plans.
Romania is one of the preferred destinations for nearshoring IT projects in Europe.
Most romanians (>60%) speak fluently at least one foreign language, while IT specialists are predominantly speaking english fluently (>80%).
Last but not least we also share the same core cultural values with other european countries.

Funds meant for Bhopal gas tragedy survivors misused by BJP minister
November 21, 2018 by qayam
By Pervez Bari
Bhopal: The representatives of the four NGOs (non-Government organizations) working for the welfare of the survivors of the Union Carbide Bhopal gas tragedy, world's worst industrial catastrophe, have charged Madhya Pradesh Minister Vishwas Sarang of misusing funds meant for economic and social rehabilitation of the survivors.
Addressing a Press conference here the organizations presented copies of documents obtained under the Right to Information from the Madhya Pradesh Department of Bhopal Gas Tragedy Relief and Rehabilitation which show that close to 60 percent of the funds meant for providing employment to survivors and their children have been diverted to build drains, roads, and parks. Likewise, documents show that almost one-third of the funds meant for the housing of residents in the vicinity of the Union Carbide factory is also being diverted for the same purpose.
President of the Bhopal Gas Peedit Mahila Stationery Karmchari Sangh, Ms. Rashida Bee said: "In 2010, Rs.104 crores was allocated to provide jobs to 1 lakh Bhopal survivors and their children. After failing to provide employment to even one survivor in the last 8 years, the Minister is now spending more than 60 crores of the money meant for employment generation on public works that are routinely funded by tax-payers money."
"All of the 75 crores that the Minister has taken away from the funds meant for survivors is being spent in his own constituency. Survivors of the Bhopal disaster are being robbed to pay for the Minister's vote gathering plans. To fuel the Minister's ambitions, the plan to provide safe housing to families living in the contaminated area next to the Union Carbide factory has been abandoned," said Nawab Khan, president of the Bhopal Gas Peedit Mahila Purush Sangharsh Morcha.
Ms Rachna Dhingra of the Bhopal Group for Information and Action expressed concern about the complicity of the Central government in the mis-utilization and misappropriation of funds meant for Bhopal gas tragedy survivors.
"In 2014 we sent hard evidence of misappropriation of Rs. 18 crores meant for economic rehabilitation of survivors to the CBI and to the Ministry of Chemicals that had provided the funds. No action has been taken against the known culprits till date. Documents show that in March this year the Ministry of Chemicals approved diverting of funds meant for survivors after objecting to it for three years."
"Documents we have got through RTI show that while hundreds of thousands of survivors of Bhopal await relief and rehabilitation, more than half of the funds allocated for their rehabilitation in 2010 remain unspent today. If the Minister was a school student like many of our members, he would have been kicked out for repeated failure," said Nausheen Khan of the Children Against Dow Carbide.
It may be recalled here that on the intervening night of December 2-3, 1984 Union Carbide pesticide manufacturing factory had spewed poisonous Methyl Iso-cyanate gas whereby 3000 people had perished virtually instantly and over the years more than 25000 have kissed death and the sad saga is still continuing uninterruptedly. About half a million are suffering from the side effects of the poisonous gas and several thousand people have been maimed for life.

Our Daily Trailer
Our Daily Trailer: ROMY AND MICHELE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION
We're kicking off Idiots Week with two very important business women.
By Meredith Borders Nov. 17, 2014
In honor of Dumb and Dumber To, currently cleaning up at the box office, this week Our Daily Trailer is celebrating idiots. Morons. Jackasses, dummies, doofs.
And there are no idiots I'd rather celebrate than Mira Sorvino's Romy White and Lisa Kudrow's Michele Weinberger. In 1997, David Mirkin directed Robin Schiff's script from her own play, and Romy and Michele's High School Reunion sort of came out of nowhere and delighted the shit out of every discerning human who saw it.
I have a theory about this. A few years ago, I wrote a post about the emergence of the "womanchild." In 2011, a trio of films came out featuring irresponsible, selfish, emotionally stunted women as their lead characters, with Bridesmaids, Bad Teacher and Young Adult all being released within six months of each other. And we started seeing this character more and more: Liz Lemon and Jessica Day and Hannah Horvath and the absolutely perfect assholes of Broad City have made it clear that women can be idiots too, and that is excellent.
But in 1997, those women among us who don't have all of our shit together - who can be selfish and irresponsible and fear commitment and dread accountability - had nowhere to turn. And then we met Romy and Michele. These jackasses are THE BEST. They eat nothing but candy corn and drink nothing but Diet Coke and booze. All they want to do is dress up and party and hang out and have fun and watch Pretty Woman. They love to dance so, so much. They're idiots, and they're wonderful, and I love them.
I think Idiots Week is going to end up being about a lot of dudes, because dudes make really good idiots. But women make really good idiots too, and we have Sorvino, Kudrow and Schiff to thank for teaching us that seventeen years ago.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go. I cut my foot before and my shoe is filling up with blood.

Newton's Infinite Series: We heard it in Malayalam first
via www.newindpress.com published on August 14, 2007
NEW DELHI: A group of Malayali scholars had predated a ground-breaking Newton 'discovery' by over 250 years, according a research paper published on Monday.
The team of researchers from the Universities of Manchester and Exeter reveal that the 'Kerala School' identified the 'infinite series'- one of the basic components of calculus – in about 1350.
The discovery is currently – and wrongly – attributed in books to Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibnitz," says Dennis Almeida, one of the researchers and Teaching Fellow at the School of Education. The research team says that the Kerala School also discovered what amounted to the Pi series and used it to calculate Pi correct to 9, 10 and later 17 decimal places.
And there is strong circumstantial evidence that the Indians passed on their discoveries to mathematically knowledgeable Jesuit missionaries who visited India during the fifteenth century.
That knowledge, they argue, may have eventually been passed on to Newton himself.
In fact Dr George Gheverghese Joseph, one of the researcher and Honorary Reader, School of Education at The University of Manchester came to know of the ancient discovery while trawling through obscure Indian papers for a yet to be published third edition of his best selling book 'The Crest of the Peacock: the Non-European Roots of Mathematics' by Princeton University Press.
He said: "The beginnings of modern maths is usually seen as a European achievement but the discoveries in medieval India between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries have been ignored or forgotten.
"The brilliance of Newton's work at the end of the seventeenth century stands undiminished – especially when it came to the algorithms of calculus.
"But other names from the Kerala School, notably Madhava and Nilakantha, should stand shoulder to shoulder with him as they discovered the other great component of calculus- infinite series.
"There were many reasons why the contribution of the Kerala school has not been acknowledged – a prime reason is neglect of scientific ideas emanating from the Non-European world – a legacy of European colonialism and beyond.
"But there is also little knowledge of the medieval form of the local language of Kerala, Malayalam, in which some of most seminal texts, such as the Yuktibhasa, from much of the documentation of this remarkable mathematics is written."
He added: "For some unfathomable reasons, the standard of evidence required to claim transmission of knowledge from East to West is greater than the standard of evidence required to knowledge from West to East.
"Certainly it's hard to imagine that the West would abandon a 500-year-old tradition of importing knowledge and books from India and the Islamic world. But we've found evidence which goes far beyond that: for example, there was plenty of opportunity to collect the information as European Jesuits were present in the area at that time. They were learned with a strong background in maths and were well versed in the local languages. And there was strong motivation: Pope Gregory XIII set up a committee to look into modernising the Julian calendar."
On the committee was the German Jesuit astronomer/mathematician Clavius who repeatedly requested information on how people constructed calendars in other parts of the world.
The Kerala School was undoubtedly a leading light in this area. Similarly there was a rising need for better navigational methods including keeping accurate time on voyages of exploration and large prizes were offered to mathematicians who specialised in astronomy.
Again, there were many such requests for information across the world from leading Jesuit researchers in Europe. Kerala mathematicians were hugely skilled in this area.

Buy the Dip on This FAANG Stock?
Netflix has recently retreated from its early June record high amid a broader tech swoon
Karee Venema
NFLX has pulled back to a historically bullish trendline
Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) has been a powerhouse on the charts over the past 12 months, boasting a 71% year-over-year lead to trade at $154.74. More recently, NFLX shares pulled back after hitting a record high of $166.87 amid a broader tech swoon. Nevertheless, the FAANG stock found a familiar layer of support atop its rising 80-day moving average, and if history is any guide, it could be time to bet on the security's next leg higher.
According to data from Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White, Netflix shares have pulled back to this moving average seven times in the last three years. One month after the signal, they have averaged a gain of 8.2%, and have been positive 67% of the time. In fact, after NFLX bounced from here in late April, the security when on to rally to its all-time peak, adding nearly 20% over the next seven weeks.
There's plenty of buying power on the sidelines to help fuel the stock's fire, too. Although short interest declined almost 4% in the most recent reporting period, there are still 27.5 million Netflix shares sold short. This represents more than a week's worth of pent-up buying demand at the equity's average pace of trading.
There's also room for a round of upgrades to draw new buyers to Netflix's table. Of the 30 analysts covering the shares, 11 maintain a "hold" or "strong sell" recommendation. Plus, the average 12-month price target of $159.89 stands at a slim 3.3% premium to NFLX stock's current perch.
It's also an attractive time to purchase premium on NFLX options, with the stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 44% perched in the relatively tame 35th annual percentile. However, volatility expectations are likely to rise in the lead up to Netflix's earnings report, due out the evening of Monday, July 17. Ahead of the event, the streaming giant announced a "choose-your-own-adventure" interactive episode of its animated children's show "The Adventures of Puss in Boots."


Mister Rogers: True or False?
It's a Mister Rogers moment.
Fred Rogers, the late and much-beloved host of PBS's Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, is the subject of a new documentary, Won't You Be My Neighbor?, that's being acclaimed by critics as one of the best movies of the year.
Tom Hanks is slated to play Rogers in a biopic, You Are My Friend, set to begin production in September.
And on Thursday evening, when the documentary begins its multi-week run at Tampa Theatre, the movie palace is celebrating with a party in its neighborhood.
The Won't You Be My Neighbor? Franklin Street Block Party, co-sponsored by the Tampa Downtown Partnership, is a free-admission, family-friendly event featuring samples from local restaurants, artists live-painting Mr. Rogers-themed canvases and lots more. It take place from 5-7 p.m., right before the movie gets its Tampa premiere at 7:30.
How well do you know Mister Rogers? True or False?
To make sure you're a well-informed citizen of the 'hood, here's a True/False quiz to test your Mister Rogers mettle.
FALSE. This is one of the most persistent rumors about Rogers, whose sweet nature seems so suspect to some observers that they're certain there had to be a badass underneath. Nope: He never even served in the military.
He was a reformed criminal with gang tattoos concealed under those cardigans.
FALSE. Same phenom: As snopes.com and many other sources have pointed out, he had no criminal record and for that matter, no time for crime: He went straight from college into TV work, graduated from seminary in 1963, and hosted Neighborhood from 1968 until 2001, two years before his death at the age of 74.
He was the victor in a Congressional smackdown.
TRUE. He may not have been a macho man, but his quiet eloquence and empathy for the needs of children vanquished a powerful opponent in 1969: His testimony before a congressional subcommittee convinced its tough-as-nails chairman, U.S. Senator John Pastore, that PBS deserved a multi-million-dollar bump in federal funding.
FALSE. He did graduate, however, from the "Harvard of the South," Rollins College in Winter Park, FL., and received more than 40 honorary degrees from colleges and universities (including Yale).
He and Bill Cosby had more in common than a fondness for sweaters.
TRUE. Along with Cosby and Art Linkletter, Rogers served as one of the three grand marshals of the 2003 Tournament of Roses Parade.
There's a planet named after him.
FALSE. But he did get his name on an asteroid: 26858 Misterrogers, named after Rogers in 2003 by the International Astronomical Union.
Throughout the run of Won't You Be My Neighbor?, Tampa Theatre will be conducting a Sweater & Sneaker Drive, seeking donations of "new and gently used" sweaters and sneakers to benefit adults and children using the services of The Spring of Tampa Bay and Metropolitan Ministries.
Won't You Be My Neighbor? Tampa Theatre, 711 N. Franklin St., Tampa, June 14-27. Tickets $11 ($8 Tampa Theatre members), 813-274-8981, tampatheatre.org.

Jaipur: The second day of the Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF) on 20 January ended with one of the stages being given up to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ideologues Dattatreya Hosabale and Manmohan Vaidya, in the session Of Saffron and the Sanghas, moderated by journalist Pragya Tiwari.
Both Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje and education minister Vasudev Devnani were in attendance. While Vaidya sought an end to the era of reservations soon, Hosabale spoke against what he called the academic untouchability being practised against the Hindu right by leftist academics.
In response to a question on why the Hindu right lacked intellectual weight, Hosabale put the blame squarely on the shoulders of leftist academics and the media, who, he said, had practised "social, academic untouchability".
They were the intolerant ones who would not give the Hindu right a ear, he said. "We were coming to JLF, so they boycotted it and are gone. Is this tolerance?" he added. He, however, named Kannada writer S.L. Bhyrappa and Hindi writer Narendra Kohli, who though not RSS members, belonged to the same ideology.
Hosabale also clearly stated the RSS point of view that "distorted history was being taught in the country". He questioned how the Aryan invasion was being taught in schools when it had clearly been disproved by scientists, archaeologists and other experts. He also wondered why "the achievements of our ancestors" were not being highlighted by schools. "There's a failure in imparting character building education in this country," he stated. The education system should be based on the "ethos of the country", he stated.
On the poor socio-economic condition of Muslims in the country, Vaidya claimed that this was because 68-70 % of Muslims lived in relatively backward states like Bengal, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. He, however, disputed any need for reservations to support the minority community, though he said it remained necessary as long as people from the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes were being discriminated upon on the basis of their birth. He, however, said to continue with reservations forever was not ideal, and instead of reservations, equal opportunity for all should soon come into being.
In the meantime, Vaidya brushed aside the view the RSS was intolerant of those from minority religions, claiming that the intolerant were those who had moved away from the Hindutva ideology.
The ideal Hindu rashtra, he said, accepts diversity of religions. "Sabko saath jodne ki baath hain," he said. "Religion is as personal as one's own toothbrush," he said, emphasizing that Hindutva was not about religion as much as a way of life.
"The RSS doesn't support violence. We are law-abiding citizens," Hosabale added. He said RSS workers in Kerala were being attacked but the state government had done nothing about it. He called upon the Kerala government to "perform its duty" and investigate the violence against RSS workers in the state. The media, too, he said was silent. "Where are the so-called tolerant people? Why didn't they speak up?."

Q: Insert both two tables with FK relationship in one UoW? I have the following two table with FK relationship.
create table A { Id int primary key identity(1,1), ... }
create table B { AId int reference A(Id), ....}

Now I need to add a row in A and then add another row in B which will reference the Id of new row in A. Is it possible to do it in one unit of work using EF 6? However, the Id of A will not be available until the SaveChanges() is called? The two inserts have to be separated?

A: Sure.
You need multiple SaveChanges only if you are adding related entities by foreign key primitive values.
If you just want to use a single SaveChanges, add the root entity with the related entity populated as well. (not just the foreign key, the whole related entity object)
var tableAEntity = new TableAEntity
{
 // set tableA fields
 // Name = "blah",

 // now set the TableB navigation property reference
 TableBEntityField = new TableBEntity
                     {
                      // table B fields
                     }
};

context.TableAEntities.Add(tableAEntity);
context.SaveChanges();

also, i don't want to distract you from the problem at hand.. (and people have always followed that statement with some distracting theory.. so here goes :))
an unit of work pattern doesn't mean, you shouldn't have multiple SaveChanges or anything.
i have found it less intuitive and redundant to actually abstract the Context into an UOW wrapper, especially with EF 6 Code first.
instead, i prefer my business layer manager/operation class to have the Context injected and the methods, just do multiple SaveChanges on it as needed. (without a UOW wrapper in between)
ultimately, the important thing is for your CustomerManager or CustomerOperation concrete class in your business layer, to receive a Customer Domain model, and add it to the database internally. The caller works off an interface ICustomerManager/ICustomerOperation/ICustomerRepository etc, and doesn't know how the concrete classes do persistence.. could be EF DataContext, LINQ2SQL, ADO.NET etc. In that case, the concrete class method can decide to do multiple SaveChanges or span transactions etc. And i have found this option to be more predictable by Saving one entity, then saving another entity with the FK Id etc.
as i said, there maybe varying opinions on UOW :), so choose the solution suitable for your space.

Baghdad Dweller, writing for Uruknet, reports two British soldiers held by "Iraqi authorities" in Basra (also described as "Shiite militiamen" in the corporate media), and subsequently freed after the British stormed a police jail, were working undercover as bombers. Baghdad Dweller includes a link to the Washington Post, where the following appears: "Iraqi security officials on Monday variously accused the two Britons they detained of shooting at Iraqi forces or trying to plant explosives. Photographs of the two men in custody showed them in civilian clothes." The Herald notes the following: "Sources say the British soldiers, possibly members of the new Special Reconnaissance Regiment formed earlier this month to provide intelligence for SAS operations, were looking at infiltration of the city's police by the followers of the outspoken Shi'ite cleric, Moqtada al Sadr," thus admitting the soldiers worked undercover.
The "Special Reconnaissance Regiment," according to Regiments.org, "formed with HQ at Hereford from volunteers of other units to support international expeditionary operations in the fight against international terrorism, absorbing 14th Intelligence Company (formed for operations against Ulster terrorists), Intelligence Corps, and releasing the SAS and SBS for the 'hard end' of missions." Is it possible the "hard end" of the "mission" in Iraq is to discredit the resistance and sow chaos in the country by fronting pseudo-gang terrorist groups (or the variant "pseudo-guerilla operations"), as the British have ample experience with elsewhere, notably in Kenya during the Mau Mau uprising and in Malaya? "Pseudo operations are those in which government forces disguised as guerrillas, normally along with guerrilla defectors, operate as teams to infiltrate insurgent areas," writes Lawrence E. Cline for the U.S. Army War College External Research Associates Program. "This technique has been used by the security forces of several other countries in their operations, and typically it has been very successful." Indeed, one long running pseudo op, Gladio, was so successful it managed to render a nominal Italian terrorist group, the Red Brigades (Brigate Rosse), into an excuse (after proper infiltration by agents provocateurs) to increase the power of reactionary forces in Italy and discredit socialist, communist, and even labor movements.
the ambush and harassment of insurgents, the infiltration of sabotage, assassination and demolition parties into insurgent-held areas, border surveillance … liaison with, and organization of friendly guerrilla forces operating against the common enemy.
in Borneo, where they used cross-border operations to attack and destroy guerrilla bases; and in Aden in 1967, where they dressed as Arabs and would use an Army officer to lure Arab gunmen into a trap and kill them. To defeat the insurgents counter-terror must be deployed back at them—described by Ken Livingstone as "subverting the subverters"….
It is clear now, that because elements within the security forces did not want a political deal with the IRA in the mid-seventies, and the military solution was only possible with a change at the top of the Labour leadership, MI5 and the SAS were prepared to use the same methods the IRA are condemned for – civilian deaths, assassinations, bombings and black propaganda—to bring this about.
In fact, so effective were these "military solution" pseudo-gang terrorist techniques the French employed them in Algeria and Vietnam. "The most widespread use of pseudo type operations was during the 'Battle of Algiers' in 1957," explains Lawrence E. Cline. "The principal French employer of covert agents in Algiers was the Fifth Bureau, the psychological warfare branch." The Fifth Bureau "planted incriminating forged documents, spread false rumours of treachery and fomented distrust among the [FLN, the National Liberation Front] … As a frenzy of throat-cutting and disemboweling broke out among confused and suspicious FLN cadres, nationalist slaughtered nationalist from April to September 1957 and did France's work for her," notes Cline, quoting Martin S. Alexander and J. F. V. Kieger ("France and the Algerian War: Strategy, Operations, and Diplomacy," Journal of Strategic Studies, Vol. 25, No. 2, June 2002, pp. 6-7).
Even though the Washington Post mentions two Brits were detained, apparently caught red-handed shooting Iraqi police and planting explosives, it does not bother to mention the SAS or its long and sordid history of engaging in covert pseudo-gang behavior and conclude the obvious: Britain, and the United States—the latter having admitted formulating the Proactive Preemptive Operations Group (P2OG) in 2002, a brain child of neocons staffing the Pentagon's Defense Science Board, designed to "stimulate reactions" on the part of "terrorists" (in Iraq, that would be the resistance)—are intimately involved in sowing chaos and spreading violence in Iraq and more than likely soon enough in Iran and Syria.
Of course, this unfortunate and embarrassing incident in Basra will fall off the front page of corporate newspapers and websites soon enough, replaced with more appropriate, if fantastical, propaganda implicating the Iraqi resistance and intel ops such as al-Zarqawi for the violence, obviously engineered to create a civil war in Iraq and thus divide the country and accomplish the neocon-Likudite plan to destroy Islamic culture and society.
So, the next time you read or hear about crazed "al-Qaeda in Iraq" terrorists blowing up children or desperate job applicants, keep in mind, according to the Iraqi Interior Ministry, the perpetrators may very well be British SAS goons who cut their teeth killing Irish citizens.

Erdogan says he is working to halt 'judaization' of Jerusalem
Meeting Palestinian PM hours after blistering attack on Israel, Turkish leader says he is paying 'huge' attention to holy city
By TOI staff	9 May 2017, 10:41 am 4 Edit

Hours after launching a scathing attack on Israel, calling on Muslims to flood the Temple Mount in protest at the "occupation" of Jerusalem, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed ways to halt the so-called "judaization" of Jerusalem with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah.
Meeting with Hamdallah in Istanbul Monday night, Erdogan "confirmed the necessity of unifying efforts to protect Jerusalem against attempts of judaization," according to an official statement carried by the Palestinian Ma'an news agency.
On Monday evening, Erdogan drew swift Israeli rebuke for a speech in which he called Israel "racist and discriminatory," and said Muslims should visit Jerusalem's flashpoint Temple Mount more often to support Palestinians.
"Each day that Jerusalem is under occupation is an insult to us," he said, at the opening ceremony of the International Forum on al-Quds Waqf in Istanbul, Turkey's Hurriyet news reported.
During the meeting between Erdogan and Hamdallah, the two discussed "ways to support Jerusalem," and the Palestinian leader updated Erdogan on the latest "Israeli violations" and an ongoing hunger strike by Palestinian prisoners, according to a statement by Hamdallah's office.
Erdogan said Muslim Turkey had a "historical responsibility" and was paying "huge attention to Jerusalem and to the struggle of Palestinians for justice," ramping up efforts to make it a city of "security, independence and peace again," according to the Ma'an report.
Israel rejects accusations it is attempting to judaize holy sites in Jerusalem and says the city remains open to all religions, maintaining a fragile status quo on the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism and third holiest in Islam.
Previous claims that Israel plans to allow Jewish prayer at the site, repeatedly denied by Israel, have led to bouts of violence.
Erdogan's wading into the sensitive subject came a week before he is due to meet with US President Donald Trump, ahead of Trump's visit to the region in a bid to jumpstart peace efforts.
Erdogan, whose talks with Trump are expected to center around tensions surrounding Syrian fighting, said the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should take precedence.
"It is impossible to find a solution and peace in the region without finding a fair solution for the Palestinian cause first," Erdogan said in the meeting with Hamdallah.
The Turkish president strongly criticized Israel, saying that "no country should be allowed to act above the law." He said that any efforts at brokering a peace deal are doomed to fail "unless Israel is held accountable for its crimes."
"Israel keeps getting away from punishment, which leads it to escalated aggression against Palestinians," he said.

Those comments echoed his speech earlier in the day, which was seen as his harshest words against Israel since the two countries reconciled last year and restored diplomatic ties to ambassadorial level.
Israel reacted quickly and angrily to Erdogan's comments about Jerusalem, calling them "baseless slander."
"Anyone who systemically violates human rights in their own country should not preach about morality to the only democracy in the region," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"Israel strictly adheres to protecting full freedom of worship for Jews, Muslims and Christians — and will continue to do so despite this baseless slander," the statement said.

IT'S BUSINESS TIME
Rocket Lab is aiming to open a new era of space access with today's launch
Nothing like the smell of rocket fuel in the morning.
Image: Rocket Lab/Handout
Tim Fernholz
The Electron rocket has gone to space once before, but the company that built it says today's launch validates its plans to offer regular commercial service to orbit for small satellites—a goal that governments and companies have sought to realize for decades.
Rocket Lab says that if the mission, cheekily called "It's Business Time," is successful, it will begin flying rockets every month, moving to a cadence of every other week in 2019. That's music to the ears of companies pouring millions into the design and construction of new satellite constellations.
"It's great to go to orbit, [but] that's not the problem we're trying to solve here," founder and CEO Peter Beck tells Quartz. "This is the beginning of a whole new era for the small satellite industry and hopefully for the space industry. The industry just desperately requires access to space. There's lots of small satellites sitting on the shelf that are waiting to get on orbit."
The launch window opens at 12:30pm New Zealand time (8:30pm US Eastern Time), where the company maintains its proprietary launch site. You can watch the launch starting 20 minutes ahead of time on this livestream:
Delays are always a factor in the rocket business, which is one reason the company has reserved four-hour launch windows for the next two weeks. A previous attempt scheduled to begin in April was scrubbed after engineers identified problems with electrical components that control engine thrust.
The Electron rocket is 17 meters tall, a little less than a quarter the size of Elon Musk's SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket. It's designed to carry a 150-kg (330-lb) payload into orbit. Costing less than $6 million per launch, it is not as cheap by mass as the leading commercial rocket but the company expects to win customers by targeting small satellite companies explicitly and promising on-demand service.
The last launch delay allowed the company to demonstrate some of its potential by adding two bonus payloads to the mission. In addition to its scheduled cargo of weather- and ship-tracking satellites built by Spire Global and an Earth-observation satellite built for GeoOptics Inc., the rocket will also launch an experiment that will demonstrate a drag-sail to pull satellites out of orbit, and a satellite built by high-school students in Irvine, California.
Beck says the additions show the company can prep satellites for launch in weeks, not months. "We've been working very closely with a lot of the licensing bodies in America—the FAA, FCC— and the New Zealand space agency," he told Quartz. "These spacecraft can be licensed rapidly, the way that we've developed a whole integration flow is that we're able to manifest these spacecraft on very quickly."
The first Electron reached orbit in January 2018, following a failed mission in 2017. In the 2018 mission, the company launched satellites for private companies, as well as a satellite constructed in-house that was designed to create a temporary star in the sky. The "Humanity Star" wasn't as globally visible as its builders hoped or its critics feared. Quartz has been assured there are no secret payloads on this flight.
More important than stunts is the firm's business plan: While its rockets are not reusable, they rely on carbon-fiber construction, 3D-printed manufacturing and lightweight electronic components to drive the cost of each launch down. In 2017, Rocket Lab raised $75 million from Silicon Valley investors who valued the company at $1 billion.
The company's next mission to fly a series of experimental satellites for NASA, in what is expected to be the first launch of a "venture class"—read, small and privately built—rocket for the US space agency.

Rattle That Lock è il quarto album in studio del cantautore britannico David Gilmour, pubblicato il 18 settembre 2015 dalla Columbia Records.

Descrizione
La maggior parte dell'album è stata registrata presso l'Astoria, lo studio di registrazione galleggiante di proprietà di Gilmour. Phil Manzanera, co-produttore del disco, ha rivelato come diverso materiale presente sia stato scritto dal chitarrista durante gli ultimi cinque anni, sottolineando tuttavia che un pezzo per pianoforte è stato registrato 18 anni fa nel salotto di Gilmour. Durante le registrazioni sono state riciclate alcune attrezzature impiegate nella produzione dell'album The Endless River pubblicato dai Pink Floyd l'anno precedente. Le parti orchestrali sono state registrate presso gli AIR Studios di Londra mentre le parti corali presso una chiesa nel sud della città. Nel brano In Any Tongue compie il suo debutto il figlio del chitarrista, Gabriel Gilmour, il quale esegue le parti di pianoforte.

Multiple rasters can be automatically combined and added to the map as a mosaic. This option is useful when adding many rasters to the map.
In this example, we will show how to add two TIFF rasters as a mosaic (single layer) to the map.
Open Map Editor.
Upload the rasters to File Manager.
Move all rasters to a single folder.
Open the map and click Add layer.
Navigate to the folder where the rasters are stored.
In File name box enter *.tif
Click Select. The rasters should be added to the map as a single layer.
Note: *.tif will add all the rasters in the folder as a single layer. "*" replaces the letters in the name of the raster and it is possible to combine the names of rasters with "*" e.g. 2016*.tif will add to the map all rasters whose name starts with '2016'.

On the morning the radar reported something odd out in space, Lockley awoke at about twenty minutes to eight. That was usual. He'd slept in a sleeping bag on a mountain flank with other mountains all around. That was not unprecedented. He was there to make a base line measurement for a detailed map of the Boulder Lake National Park, whose facilities were now being built. Measuring a base line, even with the newest of electronic apparatus, was more or less a commonplace job for Lockley.
This morning, though, he woke and realized gloomily that he'd dreamed about Jill Holmes again, which was becoming a habit he ought to break. He'd only met her four times and she was going to marry somebody else. He had to stop.

We Will Explore Hell: W.C. Morrow, Tourist Traps and the Conte Cruel
May 26, 2016 Christopher Davis
"Having passed through death… we will explore hell," says Bishop, a friend of artist Edouard Cucuel, to their mutual guest, a Mr. Thompkins in William Chambers Morrow's 1899 travelogue Bohemian Paris of To-Day.
Cabaret de L'Enfer
Leaving the Cabaret du Néant (Nothingness / Death) and about to enter the Cabaret de l'Enfer (Hell) — with its monstrous demon's mouth of a door — the trio's evening had long since passed the bizarre, knocking now at the Gates of Hell itself. Or at least a nightclub meant to look like it. Complete with a man at the threshold dressed in red tights and devil's horns, this was an approximation of hell. A hell on earth, so to speak. And a bit of fun at that.
BOHEMIAN PARIS OF TO-DAY (1899)
Such is a scene in one of the last works of little-known American author W.C. Morrow, a colleague of Ambrose Bierce and early-practitioner / respected author of "the Weird tale." Working from the notes of Edouard Cucuel, Bohemian of Paris of To-Day was an odd departure for Morrow. With the exception of a pamphlet, Roads around Paso Robles (1904), it was the only travelogue he ever produced.
The book is best known for its chapter on Montmarte, particularly sections showcasing the strange and often salacious hotspots of fin de siècle Paris. Possibly the best account we have of the notorious Cabaret du Néant and Cabaret de l'Enfer — both of which appear to have operated at least through the early 1920s (with the buildings still standing as late as the 1950s) — Morrow's transcription of Cucuel's notes provides details that photos (which abound on the web) never could.
The Cabaret du Néant, for example, was funereal and thick with the trappings of death — a place where tourists dined off of coffins and were served by undertakers. It was a nightclub that catered to the thrill-seeking tourist who wanted more than the dancing girls of the Moulin Rouge. Its main attraction? An illusion on stage of an attractive girl in an upright coffin. Before the crowd's eyes, she transformed into a skeleton. A trick with mirrors, most likely.*
"Enter and be damned,—the Evil One awaits you!" were the words that welcomed the visitor at the next stop along the way.; at the gaping mouth of the Cabaret de l'Enfer, Mephisto himself greeted you. There, at eerily lit red tables, imps served black coffee with cognac, calling it "seething bumpers of molten sins, with a dash of brimstone intensifier."
The nearby heavenly Cabaret du Ciel completed the trio. It was arguably the most boring of the clubs — the kind Oscar Wilde would have skipped.
Overall, they were clubs any modern-day Goth would love to be caught dead in. Some might call it bad taste. Others, campy fun.
ABOUT MORROW
The travelogue is interesting, but it is also telling. Why did such places interest not only tourists and Parisians alike, but artists like Cucuel and the writer who transcribed his notes, W.C. Morrow?
The Ape, The Idiot and Other People (1896)
Morrow — a displaced southerner who became a San Franciscan of some fame whose short stories reminded many a critic of the work of Morrow's friend, Ambrose Bierce — wrote many a serious horror tale. His most famous collection, The Ape, The Idiot and Other People (1896) had established him among known "weird tale" writers of his day. A mere three years later, he had apparently abandoned the short story (for he would publish no other collection) and was here transcribing the notes of an artist wandering about Paris. It makes Bohemian Paris of To-Day stand out as such an odd departure for Morrow — especially considering the subject matter of his most famous work.
"His Unconquerable Enemy" (first published in 1889 and later collected in the aforementioned volume) is unquestionably the best story written by Morrow. And it most certainly belongs to the class of horror fiction often called conte cruel. As opposed to the supernatural weird tale, the conte cruel concerned itself with the horrible in human nature in a world where death by violence seems almost inevitable. In the tale, a western doctor tells the tale of Neranya, a temperamental servant of the Rajah with a penchant for violence who is punished for his frequent offenses by being systematically dismembered with each passing transgression. Finding himself in a personal hell by the end of the story — as nothing more than mere head and torso in a cage — Neranya pulls off one final (if implausible) act of revenge that ends in his falling upon the Rajah and killing him. It is a vicious act in a tale completely devoid of the supernatural, and it belongs to a class of short-story called the conte cruel.
INFLUENCE OF THE CONTE CRUEL
In his seminal study Supernatural Horror in Literature (1927) , H. P. Lovecraft observed that "[the Conte Cruel]… is less a part of the weird tradition than a class peculiar to itself… in which the wrenching of the emotions is accomplished through dramatic tantalizations, frustrations, and gruesome physical horrors."
So how did a writer of such violent and disturbing fiction come to transcribe the travels of an artist through the equivalent of themed restaurants that were the nineteenth-century equivalent of Disney's Haunted Mansion?
The words of horror master Clive Barker — quoted by Rob Lowman of the Los Angeles Daily News regarding Barker's "Freakz" live show at Universal Studios in the late 1980s — may provide an answer. For Barker, author of The Books of Blood (1984-1985) and director of Hellraiser (1987), putting together the equivalent of a Halloween Haunted House may seem like a step down. But it may be better seen as a step sideways — from one kind of scare to another.
"There's something deeply perverse about this," says Barker of his live show. "If something like this happened to us in real life… we'd reject it wholesale. But if it's a safe environment, like a movie or a ride or a book then we can put [it] down."
Or simply leave, like we would a nightclub where skeletons appear on stage and the devil serve us drinks.
Barker continues: "what it is, is a confrontation with death in a very safe environment. If we walk away from the play environment having confronted death… then maybe we are stronger when we confront it in the real world. We all need to do this. We're all going to die. The years tick on and you get closer to the end, and that's part of the dynamic of being alive. Knowing we're on that journey."
Taking Barker a step further, perhaps a trip to hell helps us explore the dynamic of being damned. If only for an evening.
CONFRONTING DEATH
Morrow shares that journey with us — via both the tourist traps of turn-of-the-century Paris and the gruesome horrors of the conte cruel; as radically different as these writings are, they resonate with Barker's keen observation that "If we walk away from the play environment having confronted death… then maybe we are stronger when we confront it in the real world."
Perhaps the camp of the cabarets and the carnage of the contes cruels are not all that incompatible.
Perhaps Morrow saw this too.

In the case of Nitro-Lift Technologies, LLC v. Eddie Lee Howard, involving the Federal Arbitration Act, the Supreme Court of the United States indicated that courts are not allowed to address the validity of covenants not to compete before an arbitrator does so. By declaring non-competition agreements and employee contracts null and void, rather than leaving that determination to the arbitrator, the state court ignored the basic tenet of the acts arbitration law.
The case involved a contract between an employer and an employee. They entered into a non-competition agreement which had an arbitration clause indicating that any dispute would be resolved by a single arbitrator, mutually agreeable to the disputing parties, in an arbitration proceeding conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The employees filed suit after serving the demand for arbitration. They asked the court to declare the non-competition agreements null and void. The trial court found that the contract contained valid arbitration clauses, which the arbitrator, not the court, court should settle.
The case made its way up to the Oklahoma Supreme Court. Oklahoma law limits the enforceability of non-competition agreements. In other words, a court should decide whether the arbitration clause was valid. The employer claimed that the question as to the enforceability of the contract was a question that the arbitrator should decide, not the Supreme Court. The Oklahoma Supreme Court disagreed, contending that existence of an arbitration agreement and an unemployment contract does not prohibit traditional review of the underlying agreement.

Q: Finding the value of a variable passed through a JavaScript function I am not very familiar with JavaScript - please forgive me if I my explanation does not make sense. I am trying to execute a JavaScript function that is using a variable that I can't find. Below is the JavaScript function in the page source.
function viewObjectionLetter(letterId)
{
    objLetterWindow = window.open('viewObjectionLetter.do?filingId=12345678&letterId='+letterId+'&viewOnly='+isEditUpdateMode(),'objectionLetterWindow','scrollbars,resizable,height=500,width=960');
    return false;
}

The source shows that when the link is clicked it executes the following function.
viewObjectionLetter('13579');return false;

In vba
Call CurrentWindow.execScript("viewObjectionLetter('letterId')")
returns a webpage error and the url shows no value for letterId. How can I find that value from the page in order to execute the function?
Thank you.
Edit:
Here is the complete source code.

Dim ie As New InternetExplorer
Dim user As String
Dim pass As String
Dim product_name As String
Dim project_number As String
Dim author_name As Variant
Dim btn As Variant

pass = Range("B2").text

'Set IE = InternetExplorer.Application
ie.Visible = True
ie.Navigate "https://login.serff.com/serff/signin.do"

Do

Loop Until ie.ReadyState = 4

'Must NOT already be logged into SERFF
Do
ie.Document.forms(0).all("userName").Value = user
ie.Document.forms(0).all("password").Value = pass
ie.Document.forms(0).submit
Loop Until ie.ReadyState = 4

Call pageLoad (ie)

ie.Navigate "https://login.serff.com/serff/viewOpenFilings.do"

Call pageLoad(ie)

'Need to account for multiple pages of open filings *IMPORTANT*
Set objectionsTags = ie.Document.getElementsByTagName("td")

i = 1
For Each objection In objectionsTags
    If InStr(LCase(objection.innerHTML), "pending industry response") Then
        coTrack.Add (objectionsTags(i - 4).innerHTML)
        productName.Add (objectionsTags(i - 5).innerHTML)
        i = i + 1
    Else
        i = i + 1
    End If
Next objection

ie.Document.forms(0).all("trackingNumber").Value = coTrack(1)
Dim CurrentWindow As HTMLWindowProxy: Set CurrentWindow = ie.Document.parentWindow
Call CurrentWindow.execScript("performQuickSearch('company');")

Call pageLoad(ie)

Call CurrentWindow.execScript("updateTab('objections');")

Call pageLoad(ie)

Call CurrentWindow.execScript("viewObjectionLetter('letterId')")

Call pageLoad(ie)

End Sub

A: Call CurrentWindow.execScript("viewObjectionLetter('letterId')")

This passes the literal value "letterId" to the function, which isn't going to get you anywhere.  You need to find the actual value and pass that.
You can extract that from the page source, but since you don't show any HTML it's difficult to suggest how to do that.
Why not just click the link though?

A: Thank you Tim.
The solution was as simple as you said, just click it.
Set objectionLetter = ie.Document.getElementsByTagName("a")
For Each objButton In objectionLetter
If InStr(LCase(objButton.innerHTML), "pending company response") Then objButton.Click
Next objButton

Q: RPG where one of the party members has his powers enabled by making dolls I was reading the TV Tropes entry for Madden into Misanthropy, which mentioned that Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen had a pedophilic doll-maker as a character, which suddenly catapulted my brain into a review I read about a video game RPG, I think a JRPG, which had a party member whose abilities were based on the dolls he crafted, I think with a mechanic where one of the ways to improve him was to either find new dolls for him (and I'm pretty sure it was a him), or materials for him to craft them. I believe I would have read this as a magazine review somewhere in the mid-1990s, but my memories are very hazy. If I recall correctly, the review commented that all of the characters in the RPG were a bit mechanically unusual, with this being part of the draw to the game. I don't remember what system it said the game was on, although part of me wants to think this was an SNES or Megadrive game, maybe as new as the Sony Playstation.

A: I'm not 100%, but casting through my memory of the time, I remembered reading a review of one of the Shadow Hearts games, and thinking I wanted to check it out some day. Searching for Shadow Hearts dollmaker led me to Shadow Hearts: Covenant and Gepetto, who only has one doll which he uses for his attacks, Cornelia, which he can buy dresses for to change her elemental affinities and add abilities.

Not much is known about Gepetto's life. It is generally known that he was a famous puppeteer in the theaters of Paris. He is still relatively well-known but his popularity has faded. He had a young daughter named Cornelia. The puppet he uses for battle is an exact replica of her. Also, he is the brother-in-law of Father Morris Elliot and the uncle of Alice Elliot. When he was younger, his daughter died at an early age. By the beginning of the game, his wife has died and he is living with Yuri.

It's later hardware than I thought, the PS2.
