Q: Why JMS to send mail by Java Mail Scenario 1 :

*

*Setup a JMS Queue in your server

*Java code to send Messages to Producer
Create a JMS Producer, which when invoked, should receive the email data (subject, body, to , cc etc) and post it to the Queue setup in step 1

*Create a JMS Consumer, which subscribes to the Queue created in Step 1, and its onMessage should call the JavaMail API to send the email.

Scenario 2 :

*

*Directly call the JavaMail API to send the email.

I know about how to use and what JMS and Java Mail are doing.Thing is why we have to go from Scenario 2 to Scenario 1 for sending mails.Initially we did Scenario 2.Now we are using Scenario 1.From Different parts of the Big Application are sending mails so we use JMS Queue ,there will be Consumer of Queue from there sending mails.Please help me to understand.

A: You would do this if you don't have a relyable MTA near your local machine but need to be sure your mail will be send. For example if there is a network outage but you rely on Java Mail to send your mail without additional logic, your mail will not be send at all.
Using JMS you can reschedule the mail for transfer as soon as the real MTA will become available again.

A: You would use this mechanism in a large application for 2 reasons:
1) You don't want your clients to have to wait for the mail to be sent.
2) You don't want to lose mails if you lose connectivity to your mail server for any reason.

A: Besides:

*

*the conversation with the mail provider (SMTP und POP3) is
asynchronous and close to the JMS/MDB api. So why should i use a
different API than JMS ?

*You can keep the mail handling in one transaction, together with some database changes other activities. I remember too many Spring .. sic' projects, where the customer demmands for a atomic operation, that included a state change in a db ;-)

*Image, the messages you send become more compulsory and you have to connect to a X400 service. Simply think of the slight code change (and the change of the RA) and you will discover to met the right architectual descision.

The Barony of Myrkwood was chartered by the Kingdom of the East at Twelfth Night, January 9, 1971. The device had a tree (blasted oak) and no laurel wreath, predating that requirement. Vuong Manh put out an unofficial newsletter for SCA, Markland, and kindred folk in the barony named the Acorn, taking its name from the tree imagery. It continued to be the de facto newsletter for the mid-Atlantic area as it became a region of the East, then a principality and a kingdom. At that point it became an official SCA publication. That is why it does not share a nautical theme with the rest of the kingdom's awards and titles.

It was around 5pm on a Monday evening when the announcement came in over the news. Boris Johnson had just told the British public to avoid going to the pubs. This was one of his first measures introduced to try and slow the spread of COVID-19. Errr, thanks mate! I'd literally spent the whole day doing Mise En Place for the next few days, as my new Sous Chef was away on an ill-timed trip to Ireland. My first reaction was, on reflection a little selfish and rash.
The feeling of "what the fuck!" swept through the industry like its own unique natural disaster. Lots of professionals and restaurateurs took to social media, demanding explanations from the government. The handbrakes had been put on. Chefs, bars staff and food servers were all in the dark. Business owners were being asked questions they could not answer. More importantly, did I need to order more minced beef for tomorrow? 😊 I was down to my last batch of chilli. Were we closing? I had placed orders with suppliers for later in the week. Come on Boris, give me a heads up! Mother's Day was just days away. The stock levels were already starting to reflect this. Professionally, this could not have come at a worse time. Mother's day is the day the hospitality industry waits for. Usually the most frantic and intense service of the year. It makes and breaks chefs and waiters alike. But already, the cancellations were coming in, from some of those who had already taken heed of what our Prime Minister had instructed.
One of the most frustrating parts, from my perspective, was getting in touch with some of the part time kitchen staff. Letting them know that they would not be needed until further notice. Not having any real information for them apart from that. We were in unprecedented times.
Over the next few days, the situation escalated. We gathered in the bar to watch the daily announcements from number 10. Waiting to find out if we were going to be told we had to close. Primarily, were we going to get paid. People were still coming in to the pub, despite advice from the World Health Organisation. I guess some people felt that they knew better than the smart souls, in the science labs, who have researched this shit. I was only there through obligation. Doing my best to avoid contact with everyone who strolled into the bar. Watching the global, daily death tolls rising. Knowing I have friends and family in the regions they were discussing. Surely It'll never get that bad here? Look at us now!
When the word did finally come from Number 10, I was just setting up for a Friday evening service. I knew an imminent lockdown was on the cards, but the air of disbelief in the pub was visible. By 6pm there was a throng of survivalists at the bar, clambering for their last beverages. As much as I appreciated the trade coming through the door, everyone who came in, I eyed with caution. You washed your hands bruv? I just wanted to get home to my family.
I could see the stress it was putting on people around me. The pub has recently had a brand new kitchen installed, along with some other refurbishments. Due to open any day. A lot of money had been spent on getting it ready. Frustratingly close to completion. My seven year wait for the new cooking space was coming to an end, so we thought. Everything was now on hold. But the news from the government was a small piece of welcome relief. A few assurances were announced which lifted a lot of our pressures. There were still uncertainties, but the atmosphere was definitely lightened by the knowledge that we would be getting some sort of pay.
under wraps for now.Over the days which followed, Chefs up and down the country were offering take away and delivery services to help clear remaining stocks. Some are carrying this on for the foreseeable future. But a majority of employers are starting to look towards the welfare of their staff. After all, community starts at home.
As for the future, who knows? This lockdown looks to be going on for a while. A few restaurants and bars may fall by the wayside and not recover. But I sincerely hope, we can all get back to where we were. I have a shiny new kitchen waiting for me and I really am starting to miss being "Chef". My wife and kids have never eaten so well. It's still fun to raid the kitchen cupboards and create dishes in the style of Ready-Steady-Cook! But I feel this novelty may wear off as the lockdown progresses.
Once this is all over, I hope that the public look to reinvest in the British economy, by literally pissing it away. Hitting the pubs, restaurants and theatres. Calling out the plumbers and electricians to fix all the jobs we've bodged up around the house during this lockdown. Meeting with friends and family, face to face and hugging them like never before.
I hope the sense of community stays with us and we all respect those who helped keep us going during this crisis. The Shop workers, the medical professionals and the people who have kept us connected. The entertainers, the writers, the musicians and even social media personalities, who are doing their part to provide content and memes for scrolling fingers.
Stay Home, Save Lives.

Bertelsman Stiftung introduces their 2015 study on Scaling Social Impact in Europe as being the first European study to examine both national and transnational scaling strategies and their success factors. A total of 358 social enterprises in six European countries were surveyed for this quantitative study, which provides a basis for further knowledge acquisition and serves as a decision making tool that can help social enterprises choose the scaling strategy that is right for them.
The study comes as an update to the initial paper on SCALING SOCIAL ENTERPRISES – A THEORETICALLY GROUNDED FRAMEWORK 2012 on which the four scaling trajectories in BENISI were designed, and it remains under the coordination of Prof. Dr. Christiana Weber.
Capacity building: Social programmes are increased from an existing region.
Strategic expansion: New locations are established, new products/services are introduced, new target groups are addressed and/or geographic expansion is accelerated.
Contractual partnerships: New locations are established in collaboration with long-term partners.
Knowledge dissemination: The social enterprise's concept/operational model is shared, without expanding the organisation itself.
Both research and direct observation show that numerous levers and strategies exist which social enterprises can use in their efforts to achieve scale. Conversely, it is not always evident and has been researched to a lesser extent which of the applied strategies is or is not successful in helping social enterprises reach their goal, and why this is the case. In any event, it can be said that a scaling strategy alone does not determine the success or failure of a social enterprise or social intervention, since the factors that influence success are numerous and their interdependencies complex.
• Which strategies result under which conditions in successful scaling activities carried out by social enterprises?
• Which success factors need to be brought together in which configuration, and how? In short, under which circumstances and in which context will a strategy prove success?
By providing evidence-based findings, this study is intended to aid social entrepreneurs in choosing and implementing suitable (transnational) scaling strategies and making potential supporters more aware of the key elements relating to (transnational) scaling.

We have tested the new MT4 build 419 and it works flawlessly with FX Synergy. If you have been waiting to update your MT4 now is the time to do it. Please remember that you should still never use build 418.
The latest update to MT4, Build 418, breaks EA's and indicators because it screws up DLL calls, something that many EA's and indicators rely on to communicate with MT4, including FX Synergy.
Please DO NOT update your MT4 terminals to the latest version, build 418, until this issue has been resolved by MetaQuotes.
If you want to help, please post on the forum demanding that MetaQuotes fix this immediately.
Last year we received hundreds of requests for this feature, and our developers have been working very hard on getting this feature ready. We are thrilled to announce that the next major version of FX Synergy (due for release in April/May) will support direct connection to MT4 brokers. No need to run any slave terminals, just run the terminals you need. If you are trading multiple accounts this is a big deal.


A new $3.5 million, 121-ha (300-ac) stormwater park in South Brevard County, Fla., will help protect the Indian River Lagoon ecosystem by filtering runoff from a 8500-ha (21,000-ac) watershed and limiting pollutants from entering the St. Sebastian River, which feeds into the lagoon.
The Wheeler Stormwater Park includes a series of settling ponds with the capacity to prevent 7600 kg (16,753 lb) of phosphorous and 12,348 kg (27,223 lb) of nitrogen from entering the lagoon on an annual basis. The stormwater park replaces a canal system that previously conveyed untreated stormwater directly to the river.
The St. Johns River Water Management District is overseeing the project, which is financed by $1.5 million from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, $1.5 million from the Department of Transportation, and another $570,000 from Brevard County.
The stormwater ponds were completed last year, with the park improvements — including walking trails and kiosks — to be completed by December of 2016.


The charming Indy Jones-alike, Nathan Drake, is nowhere to be seen in Uncharted's latest outing, The Lost Legacy. It was initially planned as a piece of single player downloadable content, but eventually expanded into a full standalone release – albeit one that comes at half the price. We're halfway through this brand new adventure and, so far, The Lost Legacy plays much like a greatest hits of Sony's flagship first party series – it's beautiful, it's explosive, and it relies solely on well trodden mechanics to deliver a brand new quest. Don't expect anything truly new, but do expect something fully worthy of your time – and your popcorn.
Through cities, ruins, fields and more, you'll shoot hundreds of goons in ancient ruins and atop city roofs; you'll climb tall structures and traverse precarious pieces of scenery that may or may not crumble beneath your feet; you'll solve simple but engaging puzzles; watch cut scenes with some great dialogue and some absolutely fabulous voice acting. It's Uncharted as you've come to know, expect and love over the years, but it's also tonally quite fresh, thanks to the removal of its most famous face – Nathan Drake. Without a peep from him throughout its runtime, developer Naughty Dog gives its supporting characters an opportunity to be thrust into the spotlight. It's a fantastic direction.
They're characters you'll recognise if you've played the Uncharted games. The first is Chloe Frazier, who had a major role in 2009's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and a smaller part in its threequel follow up, Drake's Deception. Chloe is brazen and cheeky, but also – when she needs to be – ruthless. Her personality is the perfect fill-in for Drake, and while she plays a similar part with familiar traits, she's her own person and never feels like a clone of the departed hero. The same goes for her newfound partner, Nadine Ross, who formed one half of the antagonist duo in Uncharted 4. The interplay between these two is nuanced and dynamic – Chloe with her brash attitude and Nadine with her no-nonsense, cards close to her chest reservedness – and even in its first few hours, the character development works really well.
It's clearly pushed Naughty Dog's writers to approach dialogue differently, and it offers up new angles of conversation that don't so heavily rely on Drake's previous relationships. Uncharted 4 was very much a wrap-up of everything we had come to know and love about that particular character, but it also felt like the perfect closer on his chapter. The fact that Naughty Dog has resisted the urge to even add in a fan service cameo is extremely pleasing, and it adds in extra promise for whatever may, eventually, come next for the franchise.
This being a game about treasure hunting, it'd be unfortunate if there weren't any antiquities to unearth. The Lost Legacy is delightfully simple in this regard – there's no mysticism or spiritual nonsense, which is something that complicated some of the previous games. Here, Nadine and Chloe are chasing across India in pursuit of the Tusk of Ganesh. The shorter run time results in less globetrotting to beautiful locations, but also less tiresome padding between places. Nothing has been lost by this slightly more constrained Uncharted experience. What you get is a shorter game, but it's not lacking in punchy impact or epic scale.
The opening sequence is a short, quiet and downplayed affair through an Indian city. It then ramps up the tension with a silent sneak through the streets at night – rain hammers down on the corrugated iron and a presumably updated lighting engine shows off some truly awe inspiring environments. Uncharted has always pushed barriers with its tech, but The Lost Legacy goes further, taking full advantage of PS4 Pro and its HDR capabilities.
It's not long before the bullets start flying, and then you're back to running, gunning, jumping and sliding across rain-slicked rooftops and cavernous gaps. In its second act it opens up considerably into the largest environment ever created for an Uncharted game. It relies on the more open-ended combat introduced in Uncharted 4 – and the jeep you'll have driven around endlessly in that game – while also bringing back the focus to stealth combat, so expect to find yourself manoeuvring through long grass around a handful of ruined fortresses, towers and shrines.
It's stuff you've played before, make no mistake. The combat is serviceable, but not amazing; platforming works and excites, but never truly challenges you to think beyond moving up or forward. The thrill and enjoyment remains in the cinematic fluidity of the entire experience, rather than the complexity of its individual mechanics.

We look for independent learners and possibility seekers who are driven to deliver results. Students who are excited about challenge and change can be successful at VISION EASE.
I was given challenging projects that allowed me to think from an organizational level, rather than perform administrative tasks. The trust and encouragement from the team and other co-workers empowered me to accomplish something more than I thought I could do.
My advice for students who are looking for internship or jobs is to self-reflect and ask questions, such as what are my strongest skills and what type of work excites me. After getting a better understanding of yourself, you will be able to come up with a clearer target in your job search and sell yourself better on your resume.
My internship helped me gain confidence that I could transfer my classroom knowledge to a real-world scenario. As a VISION EASE intern, I was also given work that allowed me to be a meaningful contributor to the company.
My advice for college students would be to really take advantage of group projects in order to develop your communication skills. The ability to work with a diversity of skill sets and viewpoints is an invaluable learning that can be applied regardless of where your career takes you.


Well it's that time of year again. Time for me to get rubbing at my crystal ball and start predicting what your little darlings would love to see Santa to leave for them underneath the Christmas Tree.
Right now im up to the Toddler list, and will be adding the Baby list over the next few days.
As always the lists aren't in any sort of order of importance, it's just the top 10 things that I think most of the Toddlers will be after this year.
Boys in general love their big machines. They also love getting messy and muddy.
This probably explains the attraction of the JCB's, the little ones can't seem to get enough of them.
I can remember how into JCB's my little ones used to be, although there wasn't many toys around yet we had a JCB DVD and watched it over and over and over again for about a year.
Thankfully for parents nowadays there is an amazing range of JCB toys for toddlers, and it's called JCB On Site.
There are 4 vehicles available in the My 1st JCB On Site range. Joey JCB, Marty Mixer, Dan Dozer and Doug Dumptruck.
The big hitter of the On Site range is the My 1st JCB On Site Charlie Crane Playset, which is the work site where all the vehicles can come together to work.
The set comes with a talking Charlie Crane with a motorised winch, plus a Joey JCB and work site foreman figure.
Designed especially for smaller hands, The JCB On Site range is a great starter toy for your vehicle loving little wannabe builder.
You just gotta love that bear! Well that's certainly true if you're a pre-schooler anyway.
This really cute reproduction of the rocket ship Charley uses when he goes to play ball on the moon, will delight you fans of the show.
Open the door of the rocket ship and you'll find an adorable little astronaut Charley Bear figure.
Theres a secret door inside one of the rocket's boosters for Charley to either hide inside, or to hide away his important things safely away for the journey.
The 3 rocket boosters make great carry handles, and a sturdy place for little hands to hold whilst whizzing the Rocket through the air.
If your little ones are anything like my two were, night-times were always a bit of a problem due to them being afraid of the dark.
They have never been totally terrified, but during the darkest nights of the winter sometimes the nightlight on the landing wasn't enough and we had a few tears.
That's why I think the Go Glow Pals are such a brilliant idea. Every child loves going to bed cuddling their favourite toy anyway, so it seems silly not to combine the friendly cuddly toy and reassuring nightlight.
The G0 Glow pals will provide a comforting light to help your little ons to sleep, but helpfully turn themselves off after 15 minutes, so you know the lights not going to be on all night.
It also helps them settle themselves back off to sleep, as if they wake up they can just cuddly their toy and the light will come back on for them.
It's been a long time coming I feel, but now there are finally some lovely girly sets of Lego coming out.
Until now the toddler Duplo range has primarily consisted of Police stations, Fire Stations and Farms. So the new Disney Princess Lego Duplo sets are a welcome addition to the range.
This gorgeous big bricked castle is exactly the toy that little girls and their mums have been waiting for.
The set comes with a Mini Cinderella and Prince Charming figure. Cinderella has a removable dress for dress up play.
The castle has two levels, a staircase, large castle doors, a fireplace, chandelier and two cute beds.
Suitable for children from 18 months to five years, this is a lovely Lego set that will definitely see lots of use.
A good old wooden train set has been the go to toddler toy for generations. Both girls and boys alike enjoy playing with Train sets, and mums and dads approve because they last for years, and are beautiful to look at.
This is especially true, if you pick a set as visually stunning as the Tidlo City of London Train Set.
The track is the simple figure of 8 with a bridge and tunnel. However the train running along this track is a little different to the norm, it's actually a tube.
It's the wonderfully detailed building which you place around your tube track that makes this set a cut above the rest.
The London Eye, The Gherkin, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, all these instantly recognisable landmarks are here, plus lots more.
It's an utterly beautiful wooden train set, and would make an exquisite Christmas gift for any toddler.
Ever since they were first released, the latest Baby Born doll has been up there on practically every little girls christmas list.
This year Baby Born has gone Interactive, with more surprises and interaction than ever.
Firstly your little girl needs to choose between the Baby Born Interactive baby boy and baby girl, and then the fun really begins.
As with other versions your Baby Born will cry, need a wee after feeding, eat from her spoon when you feed her. You can even give her a bath.
It's when you add her with some of her other Interactive accessories that the Baby Born Interactive really comes to life.
As you pop her into her Cabriolet, the lights will flash, horn will beep, and the engine will start.
With her Interactive Cabriolet, Scooter, Kitchen and Horse, you and your Baby Born will never be bored.
From the immensely popular Disney Junior show comes the Jake and the Neverland Pirates Musical Pirate Ship Bucky.
With over 25 sound effects, this toy Bucky is just like the one from the show, and it will delight young Jake fans.
Place Skully on top of the bird's nest as lookout. What's that? He's seen Captain Hook?
Time to load the cannon with the water bombs, and watch them really fire.
If that doesn't work place Jake on his special hotspot and watch Tic Tock Croc suddenly appear out of his hidden trap door.
Slide Jake down the indoor slide, and he's ready to set sail.
Comes with a Jake figure, Skully figure, 3 water bombs, and Tick Toc Croc who pops out of a hidden door in the base of the ship.
It may only be a series of a few short cartoons on the Disney Junior channel, but the Minnie Mouse Bow-tique already has its own toy line! And it's huge!
Theres the Fashion on-The -Go Bow-tique – In which you can dress Minnie and her models in a variety of outfits. The set resembles a wheeled suitcase when all closed up.
Fairy Bow-tique Dress Up doll – Where you dress up a Minnie Mouse doll, in all manner of fairy accessories.
The Minnie Mouse House Playset – This lovely Lilac house has four rooms, tons of accessories, and all folds up when playtime is over.
Cake Bow-tique – Welcome to Minnie's cake shop. A lovely little store full to the brim with cupcakes, muffins and cookies. Comes with over 20 accessories.
Pet Bow-Tique – This mini pet grooming salon is probably my favourite of the Bow-Tique sets. Comes with Minnie, Figaro and Pluto figures.
Princess Bow-Tique – These snap on dresses are brilliant for smaller hands. Dress Minnie up as a beautiful princess. Pick her princess outfit from the choice of hats, bows, dresses, and shoes.
For a small Mouse, Minnie certainly has a lot of business going!
In a way I feel really weird putting this one on the list, as I've been blogging about it for years, and I think it's been on the last two years going.
It's not a new toy just out, but it is still amazingly in demand, and is still just a simply brilliant toy for toddlers.
Full of tricks, secrets and gadgets as you would expect coming from Batman, the Fisher Price Imaginext Batcave has to be one of my favourite toy of the last few years.
Use your included Batman or Robin figure to active one of the five gadgets by placing them on the activation disks.
Open the Batcave entrance, Use the claw, Imprison a prisoner, fire the missile launcher, Theres so much fun to be had with this SuperHero gift.
The good thing about the Imaginext Batcave having been around for a while, is that the range has grown over the years. Now there are a huge number of villains, figures, vehicles and even new playsets available to make your DC Superhero playtime experience even more immense.
The Riddler, Joker, Me Freeze, Penguin. They are all available as Imaginext Villain Figures for your little crime fighter to collect.
There is also now brand new this year the Gotham City Jail playset to house all those nasty villains in.
Also new the Imaginext Batman Gotham City Playset which is a mix of all things with a Bank to rob, Wayne Tower with a Bruce Wayne figure that you can turn into Batman, and a jail cell to put the Joker away.
I can still remember playing with my Disney tea set when I was a little girl.
So when I saw this updated and jazzed up 2012 version, I just had to put it on the list.
This very magical tea-pot will make sounds and music as you pretend to pour out the tea to your fellow princesses.
Once poured, stir your tea with the special spoon and the liquid will look like its swirling inside the cup.
The inside of the tea-pot lid doubles as a magic mirror. Which one is the fairest of them all? Why you of course!


The SR Timber roofing battens were therefore all individually cut and laid, as was the TIL-R underlay and SIGnature Clay Tiles. If this wasn't time and labour intensive enough, the six breglass dry valleys – another unusual characteristic for a roof this size – made it all the more tricky.
The new roof covering – comprised of approximately 9,000 SIGnature Clay Tiles, Hips and Ridges, together with TIL-R dry x ridge kits. When installing the kits, a valley tray was required to support the weight of the materials - two new dormer and two new Velux windows were also installed.
The dormer windows were fitted on a separate at section of the roof that also required refurbishment. It proved to be yet another tricky part of the job as two valleys, either side of the at roof, needed additional lead work and re-rendering.
Once the roof area was refurbished, Heritage straightened the crowns of the building's chimney stacks to ensure a neat professional finish, before installing lead flashing around them and re-rendering where necessary.
Further inspection revealed rotting timbers on various parts of the eaves, fascias and soffits that needed replacing, as well as render that needed to be cleaned and repainted to ensure a professional and attractive finish. It was during this clean up that the team also discovered a purlin that was close to penetrating the frame. To avoid any future maintenance issues for the homeowner, this was also removed and replaced.
The amount of varying pitches and valleys on the pitched section, as well as the positioning of the flat roof section and its surroundings, meant this was one of the most challenging projects the company had been involved with. It's a testament to their tenacity and skill that they completed the job to the homeowner's full satisfaction, safe in the knowledge that all the products they'd used were covered by ONE warranty.

Q: Security holes or vulnerabilities in ReactJS? I'm trying to figure out what kind of security issues could occur with ReactJS but I'm having trouble finding any. A quick Google search for Angular brings a few useful websites. Are they any for ReactJS or can someone explain it?

A: As @WiredPrarie has pointed out React automatically escapes for XSS.

If you want to display an HTML entity within dynamic content, you will run into double escaping issues as React escapes all the strings you are displaying in order to prevent a wide range of XSS attacks by default.

An example of a found recent vulnerability can be seen here, but has long since been fixed.
Also see this link regarding insertion of raw html.
Be aware that using Isomorphic / Server Side Rendering can yield potential vulnerabilities, particularly in cases where initial state is embedded in a page to be served.  See this link.


Medicine Hat, AB — The Medicine Hat Tigers scored two late goals to defeat the Swift Current Broncos 5-3 on Saturday night.
The Tigers scored three times in the first period but the Broncos made a comeback to tie the game up 3-3 midway through the 3rd period. Luckily for the Tabbies blueliner, Trevor Longo fired a shot in from the point to regain the lead with 52.6 seconds left on the clock. Captain James Hamblin added an empty-net goal with 19 seconds left to play to secure the victory.
Nick McCarry scored his first career WHL goal 2:37 into the game to open the scoring. McCarry picked up a rebound in the slot and did not hesitate to fire it into the net. His first career goal was assisted by Elijah Brown and Linus Nässén.
Shortly after McCarry's goal on a rush up the ice, Dylan MacPherson picked up his own rebound and flipped it over the pad of Broncos' goaltender Isaac Poulter to score his second goal of the season, unassisted.
Late in the opening frame, Brown sent Brett Kemp a cross-ice pass and Kemp scored his 25th goal of the season. Longo also assisted on the play.
Broncos forward Owen Blocker scored in the second stanza to start the Swift Current comeback.
Midway through the final frame, Ethan O'Rourke and Connor Horning scored to tie the game up 3-3. Horning's goal was on the Broncos power play.
With less than a minute to play Longo and Hamblin scored to ensure the Tigers' 5-3 victory.
Jordan Hollett made 23 saves on 26 shots faced while Broncos' Poulter stopped 39 of the Tigers' 44 shots.
The Orange and Black are now 26-16-2-2 and will travel to Red Deer on Friday to faceoff with the Rebels. Saturday the Tabbies will return home to host the Moose Jaw Warriors.

Yahoo Admits: All 3 Billion Email Addresses Hacked
by John Lister on October, 5 2017 at 12:10PM EDT
Yahoo has admitted that a hacking incident in 2013 affected three billion user accounts. That's three times more than it originally disclosed and means every account was affected.
The incident was one of two Yahoo hacks revealed last year. The first, announced in September, involved 500,000 accounts being hacked in 2014. The second, announced in December, was said to have involved a hack of a billion accounts in 2013.
It's the 2013 attack that Yahoo now says it believes "all Yahoo user accounts were affected." It's keen to stress that it only recently discovered that the number was bigger than originally reported. That timeline is important, given Yahoo was taken over by Verizon. Underplaying the extent of the attack could have raised financial regulation issues.
Security Answers Revealed
In the latest announcement, Yahoo doesn't say exactly what data was taken from each account, but says it believes it did not "include passwords in clear text, payment card data, or bank account information." (Source: oath.com)
It appears the stolen data includes the passwords in encrypted form, along with email addresses, birth dates and security questions and answers in plain text. Yahoo notes that upon announcing the attack last year it required all users to change their password and invalidated the security questions.
Lawsuits Proceeding
As is so often the case with hacking, the danger is not necessarily that the attackers were able to access user data such as emails. Instead, their likely actions would include selling the list of emails to spammers, using the security questions and answers to try to break into accounts on other services, and attempting to decrypt the passwords - again, to try out on other services.
While normally users are warned to avoid reusing login details on multiple sites, that may be avoidable for some security questions that ask for factual information such as a mother's maiden name.
Yahoo is already facing at least 41 lawsuits over the breach that are seeking class action status. The new revelation makes that more of a concern. If the class action status was granted, any damages settlement could theoretically apply to everyone who has ever had a Yahoo account. (Source: reuters.com)
Should Internet companies face criminal penalties for security breaches, or should this be left to civil damage suits? Are security questions a suitable way to protect accounts? Should all customer data be stored in encrypted form?

Encryption of data
Permalink Submitted by Dennis Faas on Thu, 10/05/2017 - 12:57
If passwords can be encrypted, I don't see why security questions are not encrypted as well - especially from a standpoint of leaking data. It may require some extra programming to encrypt and decrypt the data - but if the programming itself was modular this would be an easy fix especially for a company that size.
Answering security questions
Permalink Submitted by Chief on Thu, 10/05/2017 - 17:13
Why do people answer security questions with factual information? Mother's maiden name could be 'abc123' or '/colorpurple/'
The only requirement is YOU know what the answers are.
True but somewhat irrelevant
Permalink Submitted by russell.donaldr... on Fri, 10/06/2017 - 15:19
True but somewhat irrelevant in this case since both questions and answers were exposed.
Mother's maiden name & other data *is* sensitive
Permalink Submitted by dan400man on Tue, 10/24/2017 - 11:13
It is relevant because mother's maiden name & certain other data are common information required to access credit.
Chief (above) is correct. I use a password manager that, in addition to holding the user ID and password for a site, allows me to type the security questions and answers I gave for that particular site. I always use some jumbled phrase that gives no hint as to the actual answers to the security questions.
Oh, and...
Yahoo! should be sued into oblivion.


The BCC Composite Dissolve filter creates unique variations on standard dissolve transitions by using apply modes and levels/gamma controls to fine tune the look of the dissolve midpoint. Leveraging the range of looks offered by the apply modes, this transition can generate an enormous number of new looks that still maintain the basic feel of a classic dissolve transition. It can be used in subtle ways such as employing the Hard Light, Soft Light or Overlay modes to boost color intensity during the dissolve midpoint which avoids the washed out colors that can characterize a classic dissolve. Modes such as Multiply, Screen, and Add can generate interesting glow-like dissolves and hybrids between classic dissolves and dip to black/white transitions.
BCC Composite Dissolve offers the unique ability to select two different apply modes and control the blend amount between the them for maximum control over the final look.

Senator Rachelle Crowe News
Crowe appalled by commutation decision for local convicted murderer
Category: Senator Rachelle Crowe News

Crowe
Paula Sims
MARYVILLE – In response to news that Paula Sims—who admitted to killing her two infant daughters in 1990 after claiming they were kidnapped—has been granted executive clemency and is now eligible for parole, State Senator Rachelle Crowe (D-Glen Carbon) said she is horrified by this clear injustice:
"As a mother with 15 years of prosecuting experience in the Madison County State's Attorney's office, I find Paula Sims' charges especially disturbing. In order to ensure justice for victims of violent crimes, vile actions must have equivalent consequences.
"According to prosecutors, Sims fabricated a story under oath blaming masked intruders for her daughters' disappearances. Failing to take responsibility for her heinous actions, she showed no remorse while also delegitimizing mothers who suffer mentally from postpartum health issues.
"Sims was charged with first-degree murder and imprisoned because she poses a significant threat to our community. That she may soon be released to walk among us is not only insulting to those whose lives were destroyed by her actions, but also endangers the integrity of our criminal justice system as a whole."

Minnesota Opera's 'Dead Man Walking' is the redemption story we need
January 29, 2018 by Sheila Regan

The character of Joseph De Rocher isn't an easy person with whom to sympathize. Besides his scary appearance, with his shaved head and violent tattoos, including a Nazi symbol on his back, Joseph is a murderer and rapist. And yet, through the course of the opera "Dead Man Walking," the audience, through the eyes of Sister Helen Prejean, is asked to find it in their hearts to forgive him for murdering a teen girl.
Stage Director Joel Ivany doesn't make it easy. The first scene of the opera is brutal in its depiction of violence. Minnesota Opera even offered late seating for those who would be too triggered to watch it. By showing the horrors of Joseph's character, the opera sets up its moral premise: that everyone, no matter how villainous, deserves a chance for redemption.
Created by composer Jake Heggie and librettist Terrence McNally, the opera, based on Sister Prejean's memoir about her experiences on death row, was commissioned by San Francisco Opera and premiered on the War Memorial Opera House stage in 2000. This past weekend, Minnesota Opera staged their debut production at the Ordway.
Catherine Martin, who plays Sister Helen Prejean, bears the brunt of the emotional journey in this tale. A prim nun assured of her own faith, Sister Helen takes a journey of strength and courage as the arch of the narrative progresses. Martin reveals Sister Helen's vulnerability as she grapples with the weight of her calling.

Helping Martin along are a cast of very strong performers, including Seth Carico playing Joseph, Emily Pulley, who plays Joseph's mother, and Andrew Wilkowske, playing the father of the teen girl Joseph murdered. Bolstered by Ivany's emotive staging, the actors take the audience along a heart-wrenching ride.
In fact, the story is so poignant and the actors so affecting, that Heggie's music gets a bit too overwrought. It's very accessible, almost cinematic, but it does get a bit schmaltzy at times.
The opera isn't all tears all the time. There are some moments of comedy woven in, like a scene where Sister Helen gets out of a speeding ticket because the cop wants her to pray for his family member. The Southern accents employed are also a nice touch, and within Heggie's score are elements of American popular music, which lightens thing up.
The opera's lighting design by Jax Messenger, and set and projection design by Erhard Rom are lavish. Using extreme contrasts between light and dark, Messenger's lighting design highlights the story's theme of pushing through darkness into the light. Both the set design and the lighting design also use repeated use of boxes and squares, to illustrate Joseph's experience of being trapped—not only in prison, but in the fate he laid for himself.

Like the movie, the opera "Dead Man Walking" lays out Sister Helen Prejean's belief that capital punishment is unjust. However, the opera's message goes further than merely a political message. Ultimately, it lays out a belief that redemption is possible for everyone.

Do you know what February 28th is? Why, it's National Tooth Fairy Day! In honor of the occasion I created a free printable tooth fairy envelope. Just print the download on the backside of this free packet envelope template (use the US Letter version), cut and fold.
You can glue it together or use washi tape like I did. Leave the top flap unsealed so the tooth-loosee can deposit the tooth and the tooth fairy can leave her deposit as well.

Q: How to use entity class which extends another class in a Room? I tried searching everything but i didn't find any solution. One question is similar but no one has answered it properly. Moving to the question, I have a class which has room entity annotation and the same class extends another class (which is Library class). Now when i run the project I get an errors like Error:Cannot find getter for field. Library's super class making issue here as it works when i remove it. Please tell me how can i make room work with subclass as entity extending super class. Thank you for your time.
    @Entity(tableName = "event")
public class EventDetails extends ParentEntity implements Parcelable{

    @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
    int id;

    String name;
    Calendar startDay = Calendar.getInstance();
    Calendar endDay = Calendar.getInstance();

public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Calendar getStartDay() {
        return startDay;
    }

    public void setStartDay(Calendar startDay) {
        this.startDay = startDay;
    }

    public Calendar getEndDay() {
        return endDay;
    }

    public void setEndDay(Calendar endDay) {
        this.endDay = endDay;
    }

public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
}

public class ParentEntity {
    private Calendar mDay;

    public Calendar getmDay() {
        return mDay;
    }

    public void setmDay(Calendar mDay) {
        this.mDay = mDay;
    }

}

A: This seems to be mainly a naming problem: after changing the field name from mDay to just day and renaming the setter/ getter accordingly, everything compiles.
It looks like the method names which Android Studio generates from mDay are not the ones which Room is looking for.
Since you are in a position to use different field names in the parent class, this looks like the best solution.
If it is not possible to change the library, it is especially not possible to mark fields in the library class with Ignore, so one can't fix the problem by inserting an intermediate class into the inheritance hierarchy. (I tried using a Constructor for EventDetails with the private field as argument but this too did not work)
So in this case I think your best option would be not to try to extend from the library class (but maybe from some "surrogate parent" class) and to bridge the gap to the library class with the help of some factory class.

WOONSOCKET, RI – Governor Gina M. Raimondo officially announced a new public-private partnership that will bring a new job training and higher education center to Woonsocket. At a press conference outside Woonsocket City Hall, the Governor announced four employer partners — including Amica, CVS Health, Fidelity and AAA Northeast — that will help develop curricula and training programs offered at the Northern Rhode Island Higher Education Center. The Center is modeled on the successful Westerly Education Center that Governor Raimondo established through a public-private partnership with Electric Boat, the Royce Family Fund and others earlier in her term.
The Governor first proposed the Northern Rhode Island Higher Education Center in January during her State of the State Address. She included $4 million in her budget proposal, which was approved by the legislature, for the Center. This state funding will potentially be matched through philanthropic, private and federal funds. The Northern Rhode Island Higher Education Center will serve as a regional hub for workforce development initiatives designed to spur economic growth and serve the northern Rhode Island communities with training opportunities that lead to jobs necessary for the 21st century economy.
Across Rhode Island, seven out of 10 jobs require education and job training beyond a high school diploma, though not all require a four-year degree. Under Governor Raimondo's leadership, Rhode Island has totally revamped the way it does job training and now works directly with employers that are hiring to develop education and training programs. Over the last 18 months, the Westerly Education Center has educated more than 1,000 students in 71 workforce development course cohorts that have prepared them for jobs in industries that include shipbuilding, call center and sales, financial services and healthcare.
"The Northern RI Chamber of Commerce is pleased to be a part of this initiative. As a member of the Governor's Workforce Board I have seen firsthand the success of the Westerly Education Center and look forward to working with all the partners in replicating the initiative here in Northern Rhode Island," said John C. Gregory, President and CEO of the Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce.
AAA Northeast will develop training programs to support their needs for call center bilingualism, leadership training, data analytics and travel/tourism.
Amica is developing training curricula to help Rhode Islanders compete for available jobs in computer information systems and building programs to meet the company's needs in call center services (including bilingualism) and leadership training.
CVS Health will develop training cohorts to allow Rhode Islanders to become certified as Pharmacy Technicians and prepare them for jobs for data analytics and IT. The company will also develop programs to foster leadership and management skills required for employees to move along established career paths and earn higher wages and provide training for individuals with disabilities in a mock retail store.
Fidelity has identified needs in data analytics and IT/cyber and will launch a partnership with Bryant University's Executive Development Center to train new hires.
Northern Rhode Island's economic activity has been substantially affected by the long-term deterioration of the manufacturing industry. Textile manufacturing had been a principal source of economic strength and stability as well as good-paying employment, but many of those manufacturing operations have closed down. Although excellent jobs are available at several large healthcare and financial firms in Woonsocket and neighboring communities, many local residents lack the educational background and skills needed to compete for the positions. As a result, the employers often hire from outside the region and Northern Rhode Island communities like Woonsocket struggle to grow their local economies.
While the Northern Rhode Island Higher Education Center will be located in Woonsocket, a specific location within the city has not yet been determined. ??
To further support Trees 2020, Groundwork Providence recently completed its new Hope Tree Nursery, built by the organization's GroundCorp program a social venture initiative that offers landscape design-build and maintenance services. The program provides paid, hands-on experience to graduates of Groundwork's job-training program as individuals seek permanent environmental work.

Jeremy Lin Joins Pastor's Nonprofit to Empower Girls and Women
Jeremy Lin. (Photo: YouTube)
NBA Star Partners With Grassroots Org One Day's Wages
Jeremy Lin, who recently debuted with the Brooklyn Nets, has partnered with One Day's Wages to help women and girls who are living in poverty.
Eugene Cho, pastor of Seattle's Quest Church, officially announced his partnership with Lin this week.
Partnering with @JLin7! He's donating one game's wages + $100 for every 3 pointer for ODW's Girls' Empowerment Fund: https://t.co/KciRdXu1Cv pic.twitter.com/f4twx3y4DM
— Eugene Cho (@EugeneCho) November 1, 2016
Cho is founder of the grassroots humanitarian organization One Day's Wages.
https://twitter.com/linfinity88/status/764210859396608001
In a Nov. 1 Instagram post, Cho wrote of Lin's work with the nonprofit:
Recently, I had a chance to hang and hoop with one of my favorite basketball players – @jlin7. You could say he broke my ankles a few times. He's an inspiration to me for many reasons – his faith in Christ, his Asian-American identity, and his underdog story.
I've been genuinely encouraged by his humility and his desire to use his platform to love God and love people. In every city that he's played, he's looked for dignifying ways to support local kids and education/leadership development.
Jeremy also has a deep passion for the larger world which led us to conversations, ideas, and the launch of a new partnership with @onedayswages. Jeremy shared his passion for wanting to support and empower girls and women that are caught in the realities of extreme global poverty."
Pastor Cho explained that Lin will donate the full wages of one game plus an additional $100 for every 3-pointer the Nets point guard scores in the 2016-2017 NBA season.
"We're talking some serious commitment. These funds will go towards ODW's Girls' Empowerment Fund and thus, tuition, uniforms, books, teachers, etc.," Cho added.
"Take a moment to visit his campaign page. He's asking people to join him. You can give $7 (his jersey number), your one day's wages, or whatever you feel compelled to give," the pastor wrote to his more than 6,200 Instagram followers. "Let's be real: Jeremy's campaign is NOT going to change the entire world but we believe it can make an impact for the lives of many girls and young women. And as important, I believe this will impact Jeremy as a person and a follower of Christ."
https://www.instagram.com/p/BMSrXD_hREz/
Lin's campaign for One Day's Wages has a goal of $200,000.
Lin explains in a statement on the campaign page:
I believe it's important to raise awareness about social justice issues that have been swept under the rug. This is why I'm coming alongside One Day's Wages, a movement to alleviate extreme global poverty, to do my part in raising awareness about the issues many girls face in pursuing their dreams.
Millions of girls across the globe are unable to get the education they need to provide for themselves and their families. This is due to unaffordable school fees, forced child marriage, lack of sanitary products when they reach puberty, and many other barriers. My hope is to shed some light on these issues, and invite you to join me in taking action."
One Day's Wages describes itself as "a grassroots movement of people, stories, and actions to alleviate extreme global poverty."
Lin, of course, was involved in humanitarian work long before partnering with One Day's Wages, as he does similar work through his Jeremy Lin Foundation. The Jeremy Lin Foundation "loves and serves children and youth, by proving hope, empowerment and leadership development."
Watch Lin and Cho explain their new partnership in the video below — and hear the pastor call out a certain other basketball star to make a contribution.

First thing that you can do would be to ensure that that you don't break any regulation. You should know that wall is contained in the local zoning signal, which suggest that there is a regulation about how exactly far your fence ought to be from the property lines, the allowed optimum height, or perhaps the wall may be mounted across the property. Sure, in some parts, the fence is allowed ONLY on the leading area or the rear area not around the property while any such thing is allowed in some areas. If you are going to deploy the fiberglass door repair, just be sure that you talk with your local officials as well as calling the zoning team municipality.
Don't forget about wall maintenance. Sure, a good fence needs the appropriate maintenance to make sure that it can last for an extended time. You must be honest to yourself about your commitment in maintaining the fence since various products will cause various maintenance type. For instance wooden fence requires the absolute most maintenance but it is easier to fix when broken. The aluminum, on one other hand, needs hardly any maintenance, but it's more difficult to repair. Also consider the likelihood that the areas of the wall are damaged and they're stopped – what would you do about it? Are you experiencing another choice or alternative? They are the forms of things you need to consider.
To begin with, you find for protection. You intend to hold your household safe, especially if you have kids or creatures (or also both). Once you let the kids or the pets external, they are able to wander and investigate around the yard without fear and you won't be concerned all of the time, understanding that they're safe and sound. fiberglass door repair can be convenient to prevent intruders getting into your property. Additionally, it safeguards your home, warding off thieves and robbers from coming into the property. fiberglass door repair will soon be difficult for them since it indicates extra initiatives and attempts. The living of the wall itself is likely to make them think hard about picking your home because the target.
Despite your best purpose to protect your household, that you do not need your fiberglass door repair to break any legislation or develop problems with the neighbors. The notion of installing the wall is to safeguard your family and have a reassurance, perhaps not to produce altercation with different problem you understand that arguments and conflicts is only going to burden the mind, correct? This is exactly why never ignore the complexity of adding the fence.
You may have the most beneficial things to generally be considered.

Several other fencing is often designed exclusively with all the splendor such as sculpture. Putting net can also be ideal for you. Therefore, there's no doubt that your backyard along with fiberglass door repair are going to be actually eye-catching along with beautiful.
Planning and working on your wall should be achieved carefully and perhaps not in a rush. In the event that you can try this very correctly, adding the fiberglass door repair might not be as difficult as you think.
Concentrate on your requirements in place of wants. You may want a pretty fence but you'll need a solitude wall more. Keep in mind that the requirements may establish the sort of resources applied, therefore you really do not need to produce problems in that sector. When you have questions, it would be better still if you're able to talk it through with the other household members. Ask them what they need from the wall and whether they think it will probably be functional or not.
fiberglass door repair will add the worthiness to your property, not only on the artistic value however for the additional protection. Everyone knows that the fence can naturally boost the protective component of the home, and it will definitely increase the property's price quite significantly.


MomsRising.org | Tell Congress: Protect SNAP in the Farm Bill!
Tell Congress: Protect SNAP in the Farm Bill!
Republicans in the U.S. Congress have introduced a Farm Bill that would increase hunger and hardship by taking away—or cutting—food assistance from many struggling families, including children. Their proposal includes sweeping changes to the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or food stamps). The unworkable, harmful, unnecessary, and woefully-underfunded proposal takes SNAP benefits away from people 18-59 years old who aren't currently employed or participating in training for 20 hours a week.
Millions of struggling families could be harmed by this proposal!
There is still time to stop this harmful proposal! The U.S. House of Representatives will be voting later this week on the GOP Farm Bill.
**SIGN our letter now telling Congress "Hands off SNAP!" and we'll deliver it to members of Congress!
I ask that you reject the harmful, unnecessary, and backward proposals in the 2018 Farm Bill which chip away at SNAP, altering its historic success of assisting families in their time of need.
Slashing funding, removing families from assistance and imposing unnecessary and unhelpful barriers to vital nutrition assistance, especially in the form of work requirements, only sets our families and economy back. This would disproportionately affect low-income women and families who are just trying to get by and pull themselves out of poverty. No one should be punished for caring for a loved one, being unemployed, or having a chronic illness or disability that prevents them from having regular employment or engage in prescribed work-related activities.. One out of four children in America already lives in a food insecure household. This proposal will only lead to more child hunger and suffering. Our children's future will be affected as well as our economy.
Instead we should be funding job creation and training programs, raising wages, ensuring high-quality, affordable childcare, and passing paid family and medical leave so we can care for ourselves and our loved ones when they need us most and strengthening nutrition programs.
70% of SNAP participants are in families with children and over half of those families have at least one adult in the household working. The last thing American families and our economy needs are policies that are balanced on the backs of our nation's families or so-called "welfare reform" packages that will keep us from putting food on the table for our children. After all, 72% of our GDP is based on consumer spending, and if the majority of the people don't have funds to spend, then our economy runs out of gas.
Help our families grow up healthy and happy by protecting the nutrition programs that boost our children and our economy!

Waipiata Country Hotel
www.waipiatahotel.co.nz
The historic Waipiata Country Hotel is the only fully-serviced, licensed premises in Waipiata with takeaway meals & refreshments also available.
Experience a "grand" establishment of yesteryear with all the modern comforts of home. Choose from private en-suite rooms with huge King beds, family rooms, or a 19th century mudbrick "Rustic Room". We also specialise in group accommodation and can configure rooms to suit. Disabled facilities are available.
Catch up on the day's news in the guest lounge complete with plasma TV, or just relax back on the comfy loungers and chat with fellow travellers.
The Waipiata Country Hotel has been refurbished with 7 rooms accommodating 12 people, a public bar, restaurant dining area and private dining room. This is complemented by a huge covered deck area. The Hotel supplies an excellent range of Central Otago beer and wine to complement a menu that is both varied and interesting, and which uses local ingredients wherever possible including their own range of very popular 'Waipiata Pies'.
Open 7 days per week, from 10am each day.
Waipiata became a thriving township (originally known as Komako – meaning Bell Bird) as the Otago Central Railway line snaked across the Maniototo Plain in 1898.
A school opened in 1891, with the nearby village of Kokonga being a railway camp. In 1914 the Waipiata Sanatorium, a private facility, was constructed a few kilometres south of Waipiata. In the early 1920's the Hospital Board took this over and the facility continued for a long period as a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients.
The Sanatorium closed in 1961 and the buildings became a corrective and training centre for the Justice Department until 1979, after which the government sold the site. Today the site remains a privately owned property. In 1901 a factory with 78 employees was built and processed rabbits from 1901 at Coneys Creek (Green Bridge) until another factory was built in Waipiata (fire destroyed the original site in 1917). This operated until a slump in prices closed it by the 1930's. The buildings were later used for a variety of purposes, including a wool-shed and concrete works.
The iron bridge, known locally as the 'Green Bridge', was built in 1896. Timber from the original bridge was used for the side rails and decking. It is the only flood-free road crossing of the Taieri River in the Maniototo.
In 1898 The Waipiata Tavern began construction from mud brick. The original two level construction included accommodation for 42 people within 17 rooms, private dining rooms for the gentry, a public bar for the blokes and snug for the ladies. In 1933 the Tavern was rebuilt as a single storey dwelling after it was destroyed by fire. Today the rail has gone and tracks have been removed, replaced by thousands of eager cyclists, but the Waipiata Country Hotel still stands.

Brace for job loss unrest

CARNAGE: 1.5 MILLION POSTS are going to be LOST THIS YEAR, PWC PREDICTS there'll be consequences if government doesn't address the difficulty .
Acloser check out yesterday's labour force survey betrays the deceptively positive spectre of a pointy drop by unemployment within the second quarter of 2020, experts say.
The Statistics SA report shows that unemployment slowed 23.3% within the second quarter, a period characterised by devastating restrictions to economic activity due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
At an equivalent time, the economy was said to possess lost 2.2 million jobs during this era , a figure which could make another dramatic change for the more severe , come the top of the year, said economist Dr Philippe Burger.
The survey's results indicated the most important quarter-to-quarter decline in jobs since 2008, showing the amount of employed persons decreased by 2.2 million to 14.1 million within the second quarter of 2020 compared to the primary quarter.
But, at an equivalent time, the amount of unemployed persons dropped by a huge 2.8 million to 4.3 million compared to the fi rst quarter.
According to Burger, this anomaly was largely thanks to the conditions of the lockdown, which prevented many unemployed people from actively finding work. Because unemployment is additionally defined by whether one is actively seeking work, Burger explained, many of us who were within the job-seeking category of unemployment before the lockdown began, moved into the category of the economically inactive.
According to the survey, the amount of discouraged workseekers also decreased 447 000. the bulk of those who removed of these three categories moved into the category of not economically active for reasons aside from discouragement.
The number of individuals during this category increased by 5.6 million between the 2 quarters. This meant, should the economy continue a gentle recovery, more people would begin trying to find work, increasing the probabilities of unemployment rising substantially. But this didn't mean there wouldn't be some real recovery of actual jobs lost.
"The number of unemployed people fell from seven million to 4.3 million and when it goes up go up, we'll add five million people there. Then it'll attend nine million within the third and therefore the fourth quarter, if those that lost their jobs within the first and second quarter don't get employed within the last two quarters," said Burger.
"Because the economy is bouncing back to some extent, of the 2.2 million people that lost their jobs, there could be variety who will get their jobs back. But there'll still be an outsized number of individuals who not have jobs."
The informal sector was the hardest-hit by the pandemic. While South Africa has some 2.7 million workers within the informal sector, accounting for 22.5% of total employment, it lost over 1 / 4 of these jobs during the second quarter of this year. Of the 2.2 million jobs lost, 640 000 were within the informal sector, largely in construction.
The percentage of these who lost their jobs within the formal sector was 10.8%, while within the informal sector that figure was 22%. privately households, which include domestic and gardening work, it had been 24%.
Noting the anomalies created by the lockdown period, firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) predicted South Africa's net employment carnage for this year would be 1.5 million jobs. "If unsuccessful in addressing unemployment issues, PwC's ADAPT framework warns that economies like South Africa may face increasing social unrest," the firm said during a statement.
"Rising social and political unrest is already manifesting within the country. Data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project shows that SA experienced the foremost protests in September since the appointment of President Cyril Ramaphosa early in 2018."
