Q: Helvetica font variation in landscape mode of the ipad I have used helvetica font for iPad app but it is showing different visual appearance in portrait mode and landscape. In portrait mode text is perfect bold but in landscape mode it shows more bolder than usual.
Any Idea??
body {
    font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
     -webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
}

@font-face {
            font-family: "Helvetica Neue";
            src: url('helvetican.ttf');
        }
    .myclass
    {
        color: #ffffff;
        font:bold 12px "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
        line-height: 16px;
        width:100%;
        height:30px;
        overflow: hidden;
    }

A: If you really need it to be the same, encode the bold weight of the font in addition to the normal weight and specify that for the bold stuff.
That way you are relying on the device's rendering of the font, not the devices rendering of the font with it's own interpretation of how it should be thickened to make it bold.
In your current set up, serving only the one weight, the iPad is forced to guess what bold should look like and I think that's what's causing your problem.

East Lothian Farm Announced as AgriScot Scotch Beef Farm of the Year
Friday, 23 November 2018 Industry news
Bielgrange near Dunbar, run by Niall Jeffrey in partnership with his father Angus, was revealed as the recipient of the award during a presentation in the main ring at the AgriScot event in Edinburgh.
The Jeffrey family runs two spring calving herds over three farm units. The 300-hectare lowland Bielgrange farm and 240-hectare upland Weatherly farm run 250 Aberdeen Angus cross sucklers. The business also contract farms 160 Aberdeen Angus cross suckler cows at Halls Farm.
Both herds calve from March to May in a mixture of indoor and outdoor accommodation and are then moved to grazing from mid-April when they enter a rotational grazing system for the first half of the summer to try and utilise the grass growth. Calves are EID tagged at birth and weaned outside before being housed in an outside corral and wintered on straw, bruised barley, dark grains and sugar beet pulp. They are then grazed from April to July before being housed from August to finish around 16-18 months.
The aim of the Scotch Beef Farm of the Year Award, which is run by AgriScot and Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) and sponsored by Thorntons Solicitors, is to showcase excellence in the production of cattle in Scotland and raise the profile of the dedication and stock management skills behind the production of Scotch Beef PGI.
Following the announcement, Niall Jeffrey was keen to praise the efforts of the team, including three members of staff. He said: "We were honoured just to be nominated for the Scotch Beef Farm of the Year award but to become a finalist, and then go on to win, makes me even more proud of our team."
As part of the award prize, Mr Jeffrey received a £500 cheque as well as a £250 voucher to celebrate the farms success at a Scotch Beef Club restaurant. The members of the club, run by QMS, are committed to serving top quality Scotch Beef PGI.
The other two finalists in this year's award were Poldean near Moffat, run by husband and wife team Alisdair and Emma Davidson, and Midtown of Glass near Huntly, run by Gary and Angela Christie with help from their son Adam.
Fergus Ewing, Cabinet Secretary for Rural Minister for Rural Economy, extended his congratulations to Niall Jeffrey and the other finalist farms.
He said: "This is a tremendous effort by Niall and Angus Jeffrey, and I extend my congratulations to them on being named Scotch Beef Farm of the Year. The competition this year was particularly good, as all three farms are excellent examples of the best of our beef sector, and I wish them all every success in the future."
The assessors for the award this year were Robert Neill, AgriScot Chairman, Doug Bell, Director of Industry Development at QMS, and Robert Fleming from Castle Sinniness, AgriScot Scotch Beef Farm of the Year 2017.
Over the last two weeks the team of assessors visited each of the finalist farms to gauge the passion and enthusiasm of the farmer, and family and staff where relevant, to efficiently produce high quality animals.
Robert Fleming was quick to praise all three businesses. He said: "The finalists are all excellent examples of Scotch Beef production. They each have very different systems but all share a common focus on ensuring their businesses return a profit."
With regard to Bielgrange, Robert Neill commented: "Understanding their opportunities with location and other enterprises in the farming business has led the Jeffrey's to develop a beef enterprise that not only compliments their overall system but produces highly sought-after prime cattle. Utilising collaboration and technology to maximise cattle performance and keep a firm control of costs."
Douglas Bell added: "It was a real pleasure to visit all three farms and to meet farmers who are focused on making the very best of the resources they have."
Kenneth Mackay, partner in the Land and Rural Business team at Thorntons Solicitors, said: "We are delighted to sponsor the AgriScot Scotch Beef Farm of the Year award; it is a wonderful way to celebrate the fantastic beef industry we have in Scotland. Many congratulations to the Jeffrey's on their success this year."
All farms producing cattle destined to be used for meat sold under the Scotch Beef PGI label – from breeders through to finishers - were eligible to apply for the award and required to be members of QMS's quality assurance scheme.

Q: How to install Oracle Java on Debian Wheezy with make-jpkg and fakeroot without errors? How to install Oracle Java on Debian Wheezy with make-jpkg and fakeroot?
the manual for installing oracle java on debian wheezy is quite clear and understandable:
http://wiki.debian.org/JavaPackage
https://blogs.oracle.com/marigan/entry/installation_of_the_jdk_on
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/142

*

*download jdk-7u21-linux-x64.tar.gz from oracle

*install the java-package

*run make-jpkg with jdk-7u21-linux-x64.tar.gz

as root running:
make-jpkg jdk-7u21-linux-x64.tar.gz
fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-7u21-linux-x64.tar.gz
results in the following error:

You are real root -- unfortunately, some Java distributions have
  install scripts that directly manipulate /etc, and may cause some
  inconsistencies on your system. Instead, you should become a non-root
  user and run:
fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-7u21-linux-x64.tar.gz
which will allow no damage to be done to your system files and still
  permit the Java distribution to successfully extract.
Aborting.

as normal user running:
make-jpkg jdk-7u21-linux-x64.tar.gz
fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-7u21-linux-x64.tar.gz
results both in an warning/error wall.
some of the errors:
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: Can't extract name and version from library name `libverify.so'
error: couldn't find library libxslt.so.1 needed by /tmp/make-jpkg.MxvYKHyE3L/install/usr/lib/jvm/j2sdk1.7-oracle/jre/lib/amd64/libjfxwebkit.so (ELF format: 'elf64-x86-64'; RPATH: '')
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package oracle-j2sdk1.7: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}
dpkg-shlibdeps: error: cannot continue due to the errors listed above

full output:
without fakeroot
    http://pastie.org/private/r2llqa2pubqzh8krhbymw
with fakeroot
    http://pastie.org/private/kigrgcsam9pvdazbex1fa
installing works fine:
dpkg -i oracle-j2sdk1.7_1.7.0+update21_amd64.deb

java version:
java -version
java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

are the error safe to ignore?

A: First of all, you can ignore the warnings emitted by dpkg-shlibdeps. The errors should hint you towards which packages you need to install in order to satisfy all library dependencies for the JDK.
The reason this happens is that you are building a deb package from a binary distribution, i.e. a precompiled JDK. Usually, Debian packages are built from source, not from binaries. In order to do so, the person building the package would add all libraries the source depends on to a certain file (debian/control). Without those libraries installed, the source cannot be compiled and therefore would not result in a package.
In your case, the whole JDK was already compiled by Oracle and make-jpkg only mimics the process of building a package from source. Therefore you are not required to install all the required libraries beforehand.
To silence the errors you can use apt-file to find out which packages contain the missing files (libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0, libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0, libatk-1.0.so.0, ...) and install them all.
Or you could just use OpenJDK which comes prepackaged for Debian Wheezy and can easily be installed through apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk.


A claim may be available through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA), which provides compensation for victims of a violent crime, including sexual abuse.
The person who is entitled to bring a claim is the person who has suffered the abuse or neglect. This person is known as the claimant.
Where the claimant is an adult and has full mental capacity, we will liaise with him or her directly in order to obtain information and push the claim forward.
Where the claimant is a child or lacks mental capacity in some other way , a third party can act as the claimant's "litigation friend", which will allow them to make decisions on behalf of the claimant.
other third parties, such as a solicitor or a professional advocate.
There may be some cases where a claimant has mental capacity but is unable to deal with the claim because they are, for example, extremely vulnerable or suffer from one or more significant psychological disorders. In those cases, they may need assistance from another person to help deal with the claim.
Where the claimant authorises us, we can liaise with an appointed third party, who can act on the claimant's behalf on an informal basis. Again, the claim will still be brought in the name of the abused person and he or she will need to make some of the bigger decisions and provide their authority in various situations, such as for obtaining their records or agreeing to settle the claim.

Hearings, Staff Changes Hit State Chiropractic Board
The California Board of Chiropractic Examiners is drawing increased scrutiny from the Legislature after recent allegations about an improper dismissal of the board's executive director, the Sacramento Bee reports (Yamamura, Sacramento Bee , 3/14).
At a March 1 meeting, the board fired Executive Director Catherine Hayes and named Richard Tyler as interim executive director. Tyler also serves as chair of the board ( California Healthline , 3/8).
The move has drawn criticism in part because chiropractic board members adjudicate matters brought before them, while the executive director serves as a sort of prosecutor. By occupying both the executive director and board member roles, Tyler would serve as both judge and prosecutor in cases against chiropractors, the Bee reports.
Moreover, the board might have violated a state open meetings law when it fired Hayes in a closed meeting. State law provides employees subject to discipline to receive written notice 24 hours before the meeting of their right to have a public hearing rather than a closed session. The issue was not on the agenda for the March 1 meeting.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) on Tuesday forced Tyler to relinquish his simultaneous role as executive director.
The Department of Consumer Affairs assigned Brian Stiger to temporarily manage the board (Yamamura/Hill, Sacramento Bee , 3/13).
Oversight Hearing
Legislative committees have tentatively scheduled a March 28 joint oversight hearing where members of the chiropractic board will testify.
The Assembly Committee on Business and Professions and the Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee will question all attendees of the March 1 meeting.
Assembly member Mike Eng (D-Monterey Park), chair of the Assembly committee on Business and Professions, said the Legislature could revoke the board's $3 million budget or remove current board members.
"Every governor appoints friends and cronies to boards and commissions, but Schwarzenegger has put himself in an enormously awkward position by appointing two close pals to a board that directly regulates the industry for which they work," a Modesto Bee editorial states. The appointees have "turned this regulatory board into a laughingstock," according to the editorial ( Modesto Bee , 3/13).

Games Like 'Umurangi Generation' Bring the Moment Into Focus
By fox news
Video game photography is arguably enjoying a golden age. In recent years, the photo mode has exploded into blockbuster titles such as Spider-Man, offering intricate tools to pause the action, compose a shot, and tweak the finished result. You'll find the results peppered throughout social media feeds thanks to the Share button found on modern controllers. Often these depict "cool" moments, sometimes even absurd glitches, but mostly such photos, like those of popular snapper and EA DICE screenshot artist Petri Levälaht, are concerned with the beauty of big-budget video games. With each like, retweet, and share, we collectively revel in the technical artistry of worlds now so visually detailed they appear to rival our own, enthralled by the sheer density and arrangement of their pixels.
If the DNA of this modern iteration of virtual photography can be traced back to video game marketing departments keen to promote their hyper-detailed wares, the speed and popularity of uptake reflects a grassroots longing to interact with game worlds differently. Stopping to take a picture can break a litany of tedious tasks. It presents an opportunity to observe rather than target, and to simply hang out in a space whose facades we tend to race through at an adrenaline-pumping clip. Like real-world photography, it's also a way to document presence—to say "I was here" in whatever ephemeral digital environment we find ourselves.
Umurangi Generation, released last year for PC and scheduled for the Nintendo Switch in 2021, internalizes these disruptive principles of video game photography, and in the process builds its own rule set around them. Set in a violent neon future of battling kaijus, mechs, and break-dancing hipsters, you play as a parcel courier with a side hustle taking photos. Just like other games, there's a checklist of menial objectives ("Take a photo with at least four robots in it" goes one), but this mostly feels like a prompt to get you looking at its world through the lens of its pleasingly mechanical DSLR camera. You won't encounter an explicitly relayed narrative—there are no cut-scenes or dialog text; instead, the story is uncovered through the game's lo-fi and maquette-like environments, each filled with sad, funny, and poignant details.
An Urban Art Form
Umurangi Generation often asks you to photograph your crew of friends who congregate on busy street corners and the roofs of half-finished skyscrapers. You'll see them surrounded by the paraphernalia of graffiti, skateboards, and boomboxes, all pastimes and objects with ties to claiming territory—just like photography. However, it's not only these characters and the player asserting their presence but the game's 28-year-old designer Tali Faulkner, whose Māori heritage is suffused throughout the world with visual cues like tāniko and raranga patterns. This, he explains over Zoom, is part of an effort to "solidify" the stories he'd been told about his background; like a graffiti artist, Faulkner painted his own perspective into the world.
The game's surprising emotional range doesn't end there; in a level bestrewn with candle-lit memorials, the camera becomes a tool of commemoration by the simple virtue of spending a few seconds isolating, framing, and photographing the wartime memorials. Taking their picture seems to uncover a melancholy—not just within them, but in other objects scattered throughout the environment. The lens, virtual or not, has a unique way of catalyzing significance.
It's perhaps ironic that such acts of looking were inspired by startling acts of avoidance. The Australian bushfires of 2019 and 2020 destroyed the house of Faulker's mother, and the game maker was struck by how little people seemed to care. "When you're driving, one side of the road is fine and the other half is totally gone," he says. "Then you turn on the TV and see that no one gives a shit, because the fire hasn't reached Sydney yet." This is where the game's title derives from; umurangi translates as "red sky" in Māori, and its presence haunts the game's grim landscapes. Alongside caustic billboards which seem to reference the climate crisis (one reads, "New Sydney: It's like the old one but not underwater"), the glowing horizon is part of Faulkner's critique of political and media classes that he suggests exercise willful blindness; giving the player a camera—a means to look closer—only highlights their shortcomings further.
A New Path for the Walking Simulator
Umurangi Generation isn't the only photography game to make a splash in recent memory. Sludge Life was released within a week of Faulkner's in 2020, and it bristles with a similar anti-establishment ethos, albeit with an emphasis on graffiti rather than photography. A year earlier, the serene Eastshade arrived, casting the player as a painter in a richly vegetated fantasy world; its compositional mechanics, however, resemble the framing involved in taking a picture rather than painting one. Most recently, Nuts asked players to film and photograph squirrels in a virtual forest. You'll also find smaller titles on the indie game store itch.io: Shutter Stroll serves up pleasant, procedurally generated vistas for aspiring shutterbugs; solo developer Caves RD hands players a camera to snap an array of photorealistic spaces.
According to game photographer, editor, and designer Gareth Damian Martin, these titles have less in common with the photo modes of their blockbuster counterparts than they do with the walking simulator popularized in the early 2010s. Originating with the likes of Dear Esther, itself an eerie trek through a Hebridean landscape, such games essentially deconstruct the first-person shooter; looking and walking take center stage in slower-paced experiences. Martin frames photography games as a response to this trend, an act of reconstruction that doesn't involve the gun reticle. "It stems from the need to have a mechanical aspect to witnessing," they say. "To resolve the tension between a game where you 'do nothing' and those where you have 'gameplay'—the camera facilitates your observations."
This is precisely how the squirrel surveillance game Nuts came to be. Its foundations can be traced back to a hobby project of developers Joon Van Hove and Torfi Ásgeirsson that tasked players with taking photos and making videofeeds in an abstract world. The experience eventually grew into the unmistakably woodsy Nuts, but, says Van Hove, one of its most important ideas remained intact: "Choosing where to look in a walking simulator is part of creative expression."
There are moments playing Nuts which resonate with what the art critic John Berger wrote in 1972: "In no other form of society in history has there been such a concentration of images, such a density of visual messages." Since then, their proliferation has only intensified, and the three in-game cameras of Nuts, each recording the squirrels' journey in real time, emphasizes just what an eruption of images video games actually are. What's lovely about the game is the way it asks you to print out photos of its bushy-tailed subjects. By the end of your time in the forest, you'll have amassed a small trove of freeze frames pinned to the corkboard in your virtual camper van. Like the whirring camera of Umurangi Generation, this can feel reassuringly analog—a way of preserving moments in the game's avalanche of visual data.
The Parallax View
Where next for this burgeoning wave of photography games? On April 30, New Pokémon Snap, an update of Nintendo's beloved 1999 original arrives on the Switch. Judging by its trailer, the game will maintain the on-rails element of the original, a throwback design choice that seems to be less about fostering a creative eye than delivering a fun-filled roller coaster ride. More tantalizing is the recently announced Season for PlayStation 5 and PC, which appears to give players a video camera and tape recorder to document the last days of a radiant Studio Ghibli-esque world. Its own reveal trailer focuses on the small, wondrous details of nature—the flapping of a dragon fly's wings and the bright, inquisitive eyes of a primate, beings whose very existence is threatened by the game's quiet apocalypse.
Season seems to embody a fundamental of photography that has existed since the onset of portable cameras in the 20th century, namely its potential to cultivate a dialog between us and our surroundings. It builds on our lust to engage in deeper, or at least different relationships, with video game worlds, spaces many of us are spending more time in because of the pandemic. Photography, either as a mechanic itself or within a photo mode, can help us tease out the associations and contradictions of these virtual spaces.
Umurangi Generation understands exactly this, which, through its objectives, ingenious arrangement of props and architecture, and juxtaposition of levels, encourages players to peer in close before pulling out to a wider view. Midway through, its laid-back atmosphere is swapped for an intense and shocking war zone filled with blood-soaked bodies. A few minutes later, the game moves to a train filled with combatants tending to their wounds and distracting themselves with card games. Through the precision and efficiency of this one-two level punch—in itself presenting an almost parallax view of war, different from each angle—Faulkner constructs a more nuanced picture than most high-fidelity blockbusters ever muster. With a camera in hand, we can reveal its details, one clear-eyed photo at a time.

text:
Straight acting (Englisch: straight "gerade(aus), hetero(sexuell)"; acting "Verhalten, Agieren; Schauspielern" – sinngemäße Übersetzung: "Heteroverhalten") bezeichnet eine Auftretensweise von Homosexuellen, die in homosexuellen Kreisen mit heterosexuellem Rollenverhalten assoziiert wird.

Schwule
Anders als der Ausdruck suggeriert, geht es nicht darum, dass schwule Männer mit Frauen Geschlechtsverkehr haben; ein Verhalten, das im eigentlichen Wortsinne heterosexuell wäre. Auf das Äußere bezogen spricht man von "Heterolook" (von Englisch to look = aussehen oder auch Erscheinungsbild).

Die Bezeichnung löst unter schwulen Männern Kontroversen aus, die eng mit der jeweiligen Akzeptanz bestimmter feministischer Theorien oder der Queer Theory verbunden sind. Unabhängig von der Akzeptanz der Bezeichnung trägt das Verhalten selbst dazu bei, dem Klischee entgegenzuwirken, dass schwule Männer "weiblich" seien, stärkt aber gleichzeitig Klischees darüber, welches Verhalten "männlich" bzw. "weiblich" sei.

Ein Teil der Schwulenbewegung, der dem Feminismus und der Queer Theory nahesteht, stellt die Geschlechterrollen, die traditionell Männern und Frauen zugeschrieben werden, in Frage. Sie legen deshalb wenig Wert darauf, dass Männer sich diesen Rollen anpassen. Abweichungen von diesen Rollen, z. B. durch tuntiges Verhalten, werden also emanzipatorisch gedeutet.

Ein anderer Teil der Schwulen wehrt sich stattdessen gegen das Vorurteil, dass homosexuelle Männer sich "weiblich" verhalten würden, und nutzen die Bezeichnung, um eine "männliche" schwule Verhaltensweise von einer "tuntigen" schwulen Verhaltensweise abzugrenzen. Anstatt tuntiges Verhalten als emanzipatorisch zu sehen, wird hier das Unterlassen des feminin konnotierten bzw. tuntigen – weil stereotyp schwulen – Verhaltens emanzipatorisch gesehen. Durch die bewusste Abgrenzung von feminin konnotiertem Verhalten soll das sogenannte straight acting die öffentliche Wahrnehmung männlicher Homosexualität verändern oder deren Wahrnehmbarkeit einschränken. Ein weniger politisches Argument für das straight acting ist der erotische Reiz, der von maskulinem Verhalten ausgeht: "Tuntigkeit" wird von vielen Schwulen als sexuell unattraktiv empfunden.

Der Teil der Schwulenbewegung, der stärker von feministischer Theorie beeinflusst ist, lehnt Straight acting sowie die verringerte Wahrnehmbarkeit und Anpassung an überlieferte Geschlechterrollen ab, mit folgender Argumentation:

 das Ich-Konzept basiere hier auf Schauspiel und spiegele deshalb keine gefestigte Persönlichkeitsentwicklung wider
 Straight acting sei ein Schritt zur Entpolitisierung der Homosexualität
 Straight acting sei oftmals mit diskriminierenden "Tuntenhass" verbunden, also ein Konzept des "Othering"
 Männer, die Heteroverhalten zeigen, hätten die Kritik an Sexismus und klischeehaften Geschlechtsrollen unzureichend nachvollzogen
 Straight acting bestätige einseitige Werturteile über Männlichkeitsvorstellungen und verhindere die Akzeptanz abweichenden Rollenverhaltens als "genauso männlich"

Verteidiger des Straight actings fühlen sich durch die Vorurteile, die Schwulen zugeschrieben werden, falsch repräsentiert. Für sie ist nicht das "männliche" Verhalten, sondern das "tuntige" Verhalten ein Schauspiel, das ebenso wenig eine gefestigte Persönlichkeitsentwicklung widerspiegele. Sie sehen in solchem Verhalten eine Verinnerlichung von Klischees durch Teile der Schwulenbewegung und verfolgen eine Politik, die darauf zielt, dass Homosexualität nicht als "andersartig" empfunden werden soll.

Es gibt auch von feministischer Seite her Positionen, die der straight-acting-Argumentation nahestehen: Durch die Zusammenlegung männlicher Homosexualität und "Tuntigkeit" wird die Männlichkeit heterosexueller Männer nicht in Frage gestellt, da unkonventionelle Formen von Maskulinität per se Schwulen zugewiesen werden. Geschlechtsrollennonkonformität bei heterosexuellen Männern ("Heterotunte") wird so zu etwas Undenkbarem. Daneben wird argumentiert, dass eine Ablehnung der traditionellen Geschlechterrollen nicht mit deren radikaler Umkehr oder Parodie (u. a. durch "Tuntigkeit") einhergehen müsse. Vielmehr sollte es Ziel sein, die traditionellen Rollen zu erweitern.

Lesben
Bei Lesben existiert diese Debatte auch. Allerdings wird sie anders geführt, da die lesbische Kultur stärker vom Feminismus beeinflusst wird und die Bereitschaft, Geschlechtsrollen zu kritisieren, deshalb größer ist als bei Männern. Lesbische Frauen, die weiblichen Klischees entsprechen, werden aus den eigenen Reihen (teilweise abwertend) als "Lippenstift-Lesben" (lipstick lesbians) bezeichnet. Auch diese Bezeichnung wird von denjenigen, die davon betroffen sind, als Ausgrenzung gegenüber anderen Lesben und als (Gruppen-)Zwang zu einer radikal feministischen Haltung bzw. zur Anpassung an ein klischeehaftes Bild von der "burschikosen Lesbe" (→ Butch und Femme) empfunden.

ConnectionResetError: Cannot write to closing transport

A: It's hard to know without seeing the code, but it looks like at some point your function is trying to use a Gremlin connection that is no longer open.
My understanding is that Neptune closes idle websocket connections after some time (20 minutes or so), so if you are using a persistent connection throughout the Lambda execution context (as recommended here), then you'd need to make sure you handle the relevant exceptions and reset the connection appropriately.
You can find a Python example on how to do that here
I had an issue that looked a lot like yours in the past, and the "retry and reset connection" logic in the example above solved it.


Under employment law, any sums owed to an employer by an employee upon termination of an employee's contract of employment, will normally be deducted from any severance payment being paid to the employee (unless agreed otherwise in advance). This should always be taken into account in a compromise agreement.
Depending on the circumstances surrounding the termination of an employee's employment, a request by the employee to have the reason for termination included in or omitted from any subsequent compromise agreement (and reference, where applicable) is an important one, as this could impact future employment prospects.


Throughout the month of October, there are a number of literature events being celebrated; from International School Library month and Libraries Week (8 October) through to National Poetry Day (4 October), all of which are great opportunities to get your child/ren involved and build their love of reading and writing.
Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak and listen in a way that lets us communicate effectively and make sense of the world. If a child lacks vital literacy skills it can hold them back at every stage of their life - as a child they will struggle at school, as a young adult they will be locked out of the job market, and as a parent they won't be able to help support their own child's learning.
Research conducted by the National Literacy Trust found that children who have a book of their own are 15 times more likely to read above the level expected for their age than those children who don't own a book. It also found that the longer children keep an enjoyment of reading going, the greater the benefits are in the classroom.
Reading to your child has so many benefits asit sets young children up to succeed, develops language skills, exercises your child's brain, enhances a child's concentration and encourages a thirst for knowledge. Reading a range of books to your child teaches them about different topics, develops their imagination and creativity and helps to develop empathy; in addition to creating a lovely bond between you and your child.
Babies and toddlers need stimulation in their first 3 years to help with their learning so you need to talk to them from the moment they are born (some mums even read to their children when they are still inside their tummies). Just talk, listen, play, sing and encourage them as much as possible and have fun together. You can read aloud to them or tell them stories as this all helps with their learning.
At this age children learn by playing and copying things that they see you doing and saying and you can support their learning by showing them what to do and talking to them. Let them help with setting the table, the weekly shop or doing a few other small chores; as these are ideal opportunities for your child to understand and learn new things.
Children normally start school in the September after they turn 4 and school then becomes the centre of your child's learning. They now have much more interaction with other children and build new relationships. This is where you can still help them understand the world around them by reading with them every-day (even 10 minutes makes a difference), encourage them to retell a story they have heard and read things around them like cereal packets, notices and signs in shops. Take the time to enjoy puzzles together and encourage them to build on their new school writing skills by helping you write cards for birthdays, shopping lists and titles for drawings they have done.
Whilst children do regular guided and group reading during the school term, it has been reported that children who don't read over the summer break lose an average of 3 months' worth of reading achievement which adds up to a 2-year gap by the time they start Year 5.
If you have not yet taken your child to a local library, it is never too late and is very beneficial once they start reception year and are starting to learn to read; even if you are lucky enough to have plenty of books at home. Many libraries run activities over the school holidays breaks and during the summer holidays; the UK's biggest free reading challenge takes place with 98% of UK Libraries taking part.
The Summer Reading Challenge which started in 1999, is for children aged 4-11 and is run annually by The Reading Agency with a different theme every year. This year's theme was 'Mischief Makers' to celebrate the 80thAnniversary of the Beano and its aim was to get children to read six or more books from the library during the summer holidays. Children then received a certificate for reading 6 books, a wristband for 12 books and a medal for 18 books. In an Impact Research study for the Summer Reading Challenge, the UK Literacy Association (UKLA) found that the Challenge contributed to bridging the 'summer holiday gap' in children's reading achievement.
The most important thing to remember is reading with your child should be fun and enjoyable for both of you; so just turn off the TV and find a quiet place with no distractions. You don't even need to read a book as you can just tell your child short, simple stories you know and it is quality time you can enjoy together.

Lāčplēsis Day () is a memorial day for soldiers who fought for the independence of Latvia. It is celebrated on November 11th, marking the decisive victory by the Latvian Army over the West Russian Volunteer Army – a joint Russian-German volunteer force led by the warlord Pavel Bermondt-Avalov – at the 1919 Battle of Riga during the Latvian War of Independence, thus safeguarding the independence of the nascent nation. It initially was a day of honoring the 743 soldiers that fell in the battles around the Riga area.

The Latvian War of Independence (1918-1919)
The Republic of Latvia was proclaimed on November 18, 1918 by the People's Council of Latvia at the city of Riga. The territory of Latvia had been overrun by the army of the German Empire. After the end of World War I, the German empire army stationed in Latvia was ordered by Allied forces to work with the Latvian army to defend against the Bolshevik invasion of December 1918. The German army soon turned against the Latvians in April 1919, hoping to make Latvia subject to Germany. The Estonian Army including the North Latvian Brigade defeated the German forces at Cēsis in June 1919. Former soldiers of the German Empire and Russian Empire regrouped and reinvaded Latvia in the fall of 1919. The outnumbered Latvian Army fought valiantly and was victorious on November 11, 1919. Latvia signed a peace treaty with Russia on August 11, 1920, finalizing the Latvian success in their Wars for Independence.

Creation of Lāčplēsis Day
After the West Russian Volunteer Army was pushed out of Riga, writer Karlis Skalbe, a Latvian writer, compared the fighting spirit of the Latvian Armed Forces against the German/Russian volunteer army to the "spirit of Lāčplēsis". Lāčplēsis directly translates to "bearslayer" in English and was a highly regarded symbolic figure in Latvian culture. The Constitutional Assembly of Latvia created the Order of Lāčplēsis soon after to commemorate instrumental figures in the Latvian victory over the invaders. On November 11, 1920, the first solemn awarding ceremony of the Lāčplēsis War Orders took place on the Esplanade Park in Riga, in which the Chairman of the Constitutional Assembly Jānis Čakste presented orders to the first 288 Knights of the Order. These 288 Knights were mainly soldiers and instructors who fought bravely against the invading Germans and Russians to secure independence.

On November 1, 1928, the Order of Lāčplēsis was ceased to be awarded, and Lāčplēsis Day became a massive army holiday, celebrated by army garrisons through parades, feasts, concerts, and solemn events. The "knights" of the war order and injured/disabled in combat were especially honored during the Lāčplēsis Day festivities. These annual parades on the 11th of November went on for 20 years before the USSR invaded and occupied Latvia.

Lāčplēsis Day after USSR occupation (1988)
After Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1940, the celebration of Lāčplēsis Day was strictly prohibited. During the third awakening of Latvia, the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic resumed the celebration of Lāčplēsis Day. On November 10, 1989, the Supreme Council of the LSSR designated Lāčplēsis Day as a day of remembrance. Lāčplēsis Day became a day of commemoration for the soldiers that gave their lives during the Latvian War of Independence. A popular Lāčplēsis Day tradition since 1988 has been placing candles by the wall of Riga Castle. Similar candle-lighting ceremonies also take place in other cities, villages and military cemeteries across the country. In 2018 there has been a proposal by Unity and National Alliance to make Lāčplēsis Day a national holiday. Lāčplēsis Day now honors all fallen Latvian freedom fighters, not just the Knights of the Lāčplēsis War Order. November has become a symbolic month of Latvian reflection on the founding of their relatively young nation. Latvian officials frequently mention Lāčplēsis Day to rally Latvians in various modern conflicts. Given the COVID-19 pandemic ongoing in 2021, Latvian President Egils Levits tweeted "Let's remember our own Lāčplēsis heroes, Latvian Army soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their homeland. Today we must find the strength of Lāčplēsis to fight for the health of the people, in order to resist delusions." Levits encourages his citizens to make wise and sacrifical decisions regarding the global pandemic, drawing upon the strength of the Knights of Lāčplēsis.

The International Boulevard corridor, also known as State Route 185 and until the 1990s named East 14th Street, was once a thriving, vibrant area of Oakland, served by streetcars and well-connected to the rest of the City. One area of the corridor - Fruitvale - was even considered to be Oakland's second downtown. However, since the 1950s, with the demise of the streetcars, increased suburbanization in surrounding areas, decreased investment in the urban neighborhoods along International Boulevard, and a number of other regional and national trends, International Boulevard has experienced a general decline in neighborhood amenities, safety, and economic viability.
In 2010, the City of Oakland selected the team of Raimi + Associates and Sargent Town Planning to prepare a vision plan and zoning code framework for transit-oriented development along this six-mile corridor planned for a new bus rapid transit (BRT) line. The planning area includes many of Oakland' most economically disadvantaged neighborhoods, and the core intent of the plan is to leverage the value and amenity represented by the substantial public investment in improved transit for the benefit of the residents, businesses and property owners in those neighborhoods.
Through a series of public workshops, the team helped the community to envision and discuss a broad range of community wants, needs, and concerns, and to focus on the role that transit-oriented infill development might play in catalyzing positive, enduring change along the corridor. The Plan recommends focusing near-term initiatives and investments in compact catalytic focus areas centered on selected BRT station locations, with a strategic combination of public actions – streetscape improvements, parking management, enhanced maintenance and policing – together with targeted private investment and community based programs and initiatives to generate tangible improvements that can spur further reinvestment.
The team's outreach work establishing a positive dialogue with residents of the diverse neighborhoods and ethnic constituencies was recognized by the American Planning Association with a Grassroots Award for excellence in public outreach. The plan was also instrumental in the City's obtaining a $1,000,000 grant to initiate implementation.

Property Division Attorney
When it comes to divorce or legal separation, there are typically two major areas that couples must resolve before they can move forward: property division and who gets custody of the children.
Yet, this is a basic way to describe two areas of your life that define who you are—or, at least, who you have been. And dividing up property, divvying up those things that you and your partner have built together, is an overwhelming experience. Add on top of that the legal requirements and consequences, and it's easy to feel frozen in place.
Get caring, compassionate legal help working through your property division issues by calling our Salem law firm today at 503-396-4996.
Oregon Is An Equitable Distribution State
In an equitable distribution state, the law requires property to be divided fairly and equitably in a divorce. Here, "equitable" doesn't mean "equal." While 50/50 is often a starting point for determining property division, it isn't the default.
To determine an equitable distribution of marital property, the court will consider many factors, including the financial contributions of both parties, the duration of the marriage, each party's earning capacity and more.
Valuing Assets And Identifying Debts
The law sees all assets and debts acquired during the marriage as belonging equally to each spouse. That's why it's incredibly important to correctly identify property as marital or separate. In general, separate property such as inheritances or gifts does not get divided during a divorce.
From there, accurately valuing marital assets and debts becomes critical. This distinction is important.
When most individuals think about property division, they focus on asset division. They ask questions like, "Who gets the house? What about our retirement accounts? What happens to our investments?"
But debt also gets allocated across both parties during a divorce or legal separation. You'll want to work with an attorney to ensure you've identified all property so you can get your fair share of marital assets.
Navigating Prenuptial And Postnuptial Agreements
Many couples sign prenuptial agreement or postnuptial agreements to help protect them and their assets in the event of divorce. Not all agreements are held valid in court, however. You'll want to work with your attorney to review your prenup or postnup to determine if and how it applies to your situation.

Avasant Key Partner in Organizing the Largest BPO Youth Conference in Haiti
PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI, December 1, 2017
The Center for Facilitation of Investments in Haiti (CFI), in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Banj, and Avasant, successfully hosted the Haiti BPO Job Fair on November 29, 2017 at the Karibe Hotel in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. The Haiti BPO Job Fair was the first of its kind for the BPO industry and the largest youth conference in Haiti.
Haitian youth in attendance at BPO job fair
It brought together over 1000 young graduates and students from top universities and educational institutions from across the country. The event saw participation from local and international industry experts and entrepreneurs from the IT-BPO industry, universities, senior government officials and representatives from the IDB, CFI, and Avasant.
The BPO job fair was organized to tap into the growing interest among the BPO investor community in Haiti's human capital. The event was intended towards familiarizing the Haitian youth on the BPO industry, the opportunities available to them, and connecting them with the global BPO experts, and domestic and international service providers.
Anupam Govil providing perspectives on the global BPO and outsourcing industry to over 1000+ Haitian youth participants at the BPO Job Fair
Anupam Govil (Partner, Avasant) kicked off the discussions by providing a global and regional perspective of the BPO industry, and the high-value impact of the BPO sector in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region. He emphasised the importance of human capital for growth of the BPO sector in a country and urged the youth to possess ambition and develop leadership skills to capitalize on the opportunities that are available to them. Mr. Govil also informed event participants of the benefits of working in the BPO industry, which includes job stability and security, as well as the range of opportunities for professional growth and international exposure that the industry offers to its employees. Mr. Govil concluded his talk by highlighting to the participants the strong potential for growth of the BPO sector in Haiti. He also addressed several questions that the social-media savvy youth in Haiti had asked him over twitter during his session.
Jon Browning (Founder and CEO, Global BPO Solutions) delivered a keynote speech on the topic 'Career Opportunities in the BPO sector' where he described the potential career paths available to those aspiring to work in the BPO sector. Other speakers at the event – Chitra Rajeshwari (Executive Director, Avasant Foundation), Jessica Cryer (CSPN), and Corey Atkinson (CSPN) – educated participants on the potential training and BPO certifications & standards required to be a successful professional in the BPO sector.
The Haiti BPO Job Fair also facilitated several interactive workshops to help the youth prepare for interviews, pitch ideas to investors, and educated them on the BPO-specific skills and opportunities available in Haiti.
The event culminated with the launch of the Haiti Digital Services platform, an omni-channel platform conceptualized and developed by Avasant for the Haitian youth to register and apply for job opportunities available in the BPO sector in the country. The platform will also keep the Haitian youth updated on key BPO industry developments locally and internationally. BPO service providers and investors looking to Haiti are also expected to significantly benefit from this platform by gaining direct access and visibility into the rich talent pool available in the country.

Solaris 10 System Administration Exam Prep: CX-310-200, Part I, 2nd Edition
All processes have assigned to them an execution priority—an integer value that is dynamically computed and updated on the basis of several different factors. Whenever the CPU is free, the scheduler selects the most favored process to resume executing. The process selected is the one with the lowest-priority number because lower numbers are defined as more favored than higher ones. Multiple processes at the same priority level are placed in the run queue for that priority level. Whenever the CPU is free, the scheduler starts the processes at the head of the lowest-numbered nonempty run queue. When the process at the top of a run queue stops executing, it goes to the end of the line and the next process moves up to the front. After a process begins to run, it continues to execute until it needs to wait for an I/O operation to complete, receives an interrupt signal, or exhausts the maximum execution time slice defined on that system. A typical time slice is 10 milliseconds.
A Unix process has two priority numbers associated with it. One of the priority numbers is its requested execution priority with respect to other processes. This value (its nice number) is set by the process's owner and by root; it appears in the NI column in a ps -l listing. The other priority assigned to a process is the execution priority. This priority is computed and updated dynamically by the operating system, taking into account such factors as the process's nice number, how much CPU time it has had recently, and other processes that are running and their priorities. The execution priority value appears in the PRI column on a ps -l listing.
Although the CPU is the most-watched resource on a system, it is not the only one. Memory use, disk use, I/O activity, and the number of processes all tie together in determining the computer's throughput. For example, suppose you have two groups, A and B. Both groups require large amounts of memory—more than is available when both are running simultaneously. Raising the priority of Group A over Group B might not help if Group B does not fully relinquish the memory it is using. Although the paging system does this over time, the process of swapping a process out to disk can be intensive and can greatly reduce performance. A better alternative might be to completely stop Group B with a signal and then continue it later, when Group A has finished.
Changing the Priority of a Time-Sharing Process with nice
The nice command is supported only for backward compatibility with previous Solaris releases. The priocntl command provides more flexibility in managing processes. The priority of a process is determined by the policies of its scheduling class and by its nice number. Each time-sharing process has a global priority that is calculated by adding the user-supplied priority, which can be influenced by the nice or priocntl commands, and the system-calculated priority.
The execution priority number of a process is assigned by the operating system and is determined by several factors, including its schedule class, how much CPU time it has used, and its nice number. Each time-sharing process starts with a default nice number, which it inherits from its parent process. The nice number is shown in the NI column of the ps report.
A user can lower the priority of a process by increasing its user-supplied priority number. Only the superuser can increase the priority of a process by lowering its nice value. This prevents users from increasing the priorities of their own processes, thereby monopolizing a greater share of the CPU.
Two versions of the nice command are available: the standard version, /usr/bin/nice, and a version that is integrated into the C shell as a C shell built-in. /usr/bin/nice numbers range from 0 to +39 and the default value is 20, while the C-shell built-in version of nice has values that range from –20 to +20. The lower the number, the higher the priority and the faster the process runs.
Use the /usr/bin/nice command as described in Table 5.13 when submitting a program or command.
Table 5.13. Setting Priorities with nice
Lowering the Priority of a Process Using /usr/bin/nice
nice <process_name>
Increases the nice number by 4 units (the default)
nice -4 <process_name>
Increases the nice number by 4 units
nice -10 <process_name>
Increases the nice number by 10 units
Increasing the Priority of a Process
nice -n -10 <process_name>
Raises the priority of the command by lowering the nice number
Root may run commands with a priority higher than normal by using a negative increment, such as -10. A negative increment assigned by an unprivileged user is ignored.
As a system administrator, you can use the renice command to change the priority of a process after it has been submitted. The renice command has the following form:
renice priority -n <value> -p <pid>
Use the ps -elf command to find the PID of the process for which you want to change the priority. The process that you want to change in the following example is named largejob:
# ps –elf|grep largejob
9 S   0   8200  4100  0  84  20  f0274e38  193        Jun 04 ?    0:00 largejob
Issue the following command to increase the priority of PID 8200:
renice -n -4 -p 8200
Issuing the ps -elf command again shows the process with a higher priority:
9 S   0  8200  4100  0  60  16   f0274e38  193      Jun 04  ?    0:00  largejob
Changing the Scheduling Priority of Processes with priocntl
The standard priority scheme has been improved since earlier versions of Solaris as part of its support for real-time processes. Real-time processes are designed to work in application areas in which a nearly immediate response to events is required. These processes are given nearly complete access to all system resources when they are running. Solaris uses time-sharing priority numbers ranging from -20 to 20. Solaris uses the priocntl command, intended as an improvement over the nice command, to modify process priorities. To use priocntl to change a priority on a process, type this:
priocntl -s -p <new-priority>  -i pid <process-id>
new-priority is the new priority for the process, and process-id is the PID of the process you want to change.
The following example sets the priority level for process 8200 to -5:
priocntl -s -p -5 -i pid 8200
The following example is used to set the priority (nice value) for every process created by a given parent process:
priocntl -s -p -5 -I ppid 8200
As a result of this command, all processes forked from process 8200 have a priority of -5.
The priority value assigned to a process can be displayed using the ps command, which was described earlier in this chapter.
The functionality of the priocntl command goes much further than what is described in this section. Consult the online manual pages for more information about the priocntl command.
Fair Share Scheduler (FSS) and the Fixed Scheduler (FX)
The Fair Share Scheduler (FSS) in Solaris 10 can be used to control the allocation of resources. The Fixed Scheduler (FX) is a fixed priority scheduler that provides an ensured priority for processes. Neither of these are objectives on the CX-310-200 exam and they are not covered in this chapter.

Green Energy Advocates Advocate For Carbon Price Standards At WEF 2023
By PTI January 20, 2023
In order to speed up the decarbonisation process, the experts advised development banks to take bigger risks and coordinate their green investing
To achieve this, the calculated emissions are offset by investing in environment projects in Switzerland and other countries.. PhotoDeposit
Carbon pricing is essential to unlock trillions of dollars in private capital needed to reach emission reduction targets, experts and business leaders said on Thursday. Speaking at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2023 here, they urged development banks to take greater risks and coordinate their green investing to accelerate decarbonisation.
Despite the urgent need for climate finance, numerous barriers have impeded the flow of private capital to decarbonisation projects around the world and especially in the Global South, they noted. Financial experts agreed that a major hurdle is the need for carbon pricing. "We're still resisting the necessity that carbon has to be priced, and the price has to climb up," said Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund.
Public resistance to a carbon tax has prevented many nations from establishing carbon pricing via taxation but taxation is not the only way to deter emissions, she added. Carbon trading, regulation and different pricing schemes are alternative strategies that countries have used to impose costs for emissions.
Better coordination of these strategies would incentivise private capital to invest in more net-zero projects around the world, experts argued.
Another barrier to private finance has been the lack of common standards and data on reducing emissions.
Experts expressed frustration that, after nearly three decades of COP summits, there is still a lack of common metrics on many environmental goals.
Standard Chartered Bank Group CEO Bill Winters said, "we need standards. We're all terrified of being accused of greenwashing, even if we're doing the right thing". Multilateral development banks such as the IMF as well as national development banks must play a leading role in catalysing private finance for climate change adaptation, the business leaders said.
"Multilaterals and national development banks have got to take much higher risk," said Patrick Khulekani Dlamini, CEO of the Development Bank of Southern Africa. One problem has been that national and multilateral development banks compete for projects and do not share information, an expert said, while stressing that better coordination among public financial institutions could encourage more risk-taking and improve banks' evaluation of the risks of different projects.
Finance experts agreed that, given the urgency of emissions reductions, understanding the costs of inaction is also essential to accelerate private finance.
