In one such session today, a panel comprising Justices Nathalia Kimaro, Katherine Oriyo and Augustine Mwarija would hear four appeals among 26 that have been scheduled for determination within eight days.
The four cases involve giant companies, including Quality Group Limited, Tanzania International Container Terminal Services (TICTS), TSCAN and Pembe Flour Mills Limited.
Other tax appeals cases that would be determined in a two-week session include North Mara Gold Mines Limited, Bulyanhulu Gold Mines Limited, Geita Gold Mining Limited, Intestate Mining and Minerals Tanzania Limited and Mabangu Mining Limited. Others are National Microfinance Bank PLC, KCB Bank Tanzania Limited, Tanzania Breweries Limited (TBL), BP Tanzania Limited, Pan African Energy Tanzania Limited, Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) and Kilombero Sugar Company.
Basing their argument on a report by a team of an industry technical committee commissioned by the Petroleum Importation Coordinator Limited (PICL) in 2014, players in the industry state that all products should be discharged into a single terminal.
The report clearly highlighted that the losses occurred when fuel was being discharged from ships and when transported in pipelines to storage tanks.
The storage terminals have also been cited as another area where losses occur. Preferring to remain anonymous, sources in the industry pointed an accusing finger to the Kigamboni manifold which they say is substandard and responsible for many losses.
"We are expecting him tomorrow (today) morning at around tour 9:am", Bunda District Commissioner (DC) Mr Joshua Mirumbe told the 'Daily News' over phone. According to the DC, the Minister will inspect construction of Bulamba-Nansimo 51 km road which is being constructed at tarmac level.
"Already 2.4 billion shillings has been paid in compensation to people around the project," Mr Mirumbe said. On completion, the road project is expected to speed economic development in the whole region.
Mara region is among regions with good road networks in the country, a job well done by the Tanzania National Roads Agency (TANROADS). The government of Tanzania has been disbursing millions of shillings to improve road network in the region in every financial year.
An international mining firm, Acacia Buzwagi Gold Mine, operating in Kahama district, spent Sh2.4bn last year to help villagers in the district with various community development projects.
The firm's General Manager Asa Mwaipopo said the funds were spent on science labs construction at Ngokolo and Old Shinyanga primary schools, both located in Shinyanga municipality.
According to Mwaipopo, other projects were construction of a health centre and six water wells in Mwendakulima ward.
For his part, the mine's Relations Officer, Moses Msoffe, said other areas such as construction of three houses for flood victims in Mwakata village, as well as construction of roads in Chapulwa village and installation of traffic lights in Kahama township.
In a separate development, a health centre in Mwendakulima village has no telescope, which leads to poor service delivery in the area.
Ngumburuni Forest Reserve in Rufiji District, Coast Region is in danger of extinction from escalating deforestation and induced human activities such as farming and settlements in the conservation zone.
This was unveiled at a training session for journalists that involving foresters and was spearheaded by the Tanzania Forest Conservation Group (TFCG) under the Mama Misitu Project in collaboration with the Tanzania Natural Resources Forum (TNRF).
Hadija Kitango, Amina Ally and Juma Mkwanywe are among environmental activists who took part in the training, heaping blame on local leaders overseeing the forest reserve, claiming that they were behind encroachment in the forest reserve.
"This forest is badly damaged…trees are cut and houses have been built in the forest reserve and those people who invaded the forest reserve claim to have all the blessings from village leaders," Hadija Kitango complained.
President John Magufuli yesterday gave a two-day ultimatum to Muhimbili National Hospital executives to vacate the hospital's administration block and decongest mothers at the maternity ward currently sleeping on the floor owing to shortage of beds and space.
The president who made an impromptu visit to the hospital mid-this week to see the Chief Sheikh, Mufti Abubakar Zubery bin Ali admitted at the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute witnessed dozens of mothers sleeping on the wet floor.
The Minister of State in President's Office, Public Service Management and Good Governance, Angela Kairuki has urged the Property and Business Formalization Programme commonly known as Mkurabita to put in place village land registries and other specialized areas.
Kairuki told the press at Mkurabita offices in Dar es Salaam on Friday that until now the land registries were only conducted in 17 villages in four district councils, while 90 per cent had no good deal of land registries, leading to land conflicts among farmers.
"I called on the government to keep good budget for the land to help citizens to buy the land through copyright," she said.
The Mkurabita Programme Coordinator, Seraphia Mgembe said the programme was yet to manage creation of potentials for formalizing land villages in 49 district councils in Tanzania Mainland and four districts in Zanzibar.
Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) has been urged to invest in a robust countrywide park intelligence unit in order to curb poaching.
Tanapa spokesperson Pascal Shelutete told The Guardian on Sunday that strengthening the intelligence unit was essential as it will help parks to know beforehand about criminals intending to poach elephants and other endangered species.
He said poachers had advanced their skills and tactics, so it was paramount for Tanapa to be more proactive rather than reactive.
According to him, despite his agency's transforming its intelligence unit into a paramilitary one, it was still important to dispatch more qualified and well equipped park wardens to thwart poaching.
"Such an initiative will increase accountability in the agency and go a long way to bolstering the anti-poaching crusade as poachers can sometimes be heavily armed with sophisticated military weaponry," he added.
Retired President Ali Hassan Mwinyi has implored the need for people of Uganda to exercise their right of voting for an efficient leader to rule their country.
Mwinyi who is the head of the East African Community (EAC) Election Observation Mission (EOM) was speaking in Kampala on Friday at the official launch of the EAC Election Observation Mission to the 2016 General Election in Uganda.
EOM arrived in Uganda last week on invitation by the Ugandan government and in line with relevant provisions of EAC Election Treaty to monitor the election scheduled for Thursday, to leave the country three days later on February 21.
Public and stakeholders that security at all refugee camps in the country is optimal and regular patrols are conducted by police in coordination with the refugees.
The government statement comes in response to media reports that purport the government of Burundi is attempting to recruit the refugees from the camps.
On February 5, Al Jazeera published a report saying the Burundian refugees are living in fear of their government's militia who are hiding in the camps and attempting to recruit them.
The Ministry of Finance and Planning yesterday handed over 12.3bn/- to the judiciary in fulfillment of President Dr John Magufuli's pledge made last Thursday when commemorating the Law Day.
The fund aims at helping the judiciary address various challenges it faces including handling of backlog cases and dispensing justice on time.
"We have fulfilled the promise made by the president, it is our hope that the funds will be properly used by implementing the expected goals," the Minister of Finance and Planning, Dr Philip Mpango said when handing over the dummy cheque. On his part, Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Amon Mpanju expressed his gratitude to President Magufuli for fulfilling his promise on time.
The government has been urged to improve transition from primary school to lower secondary school to enable more youngsters to enter the latter and reduce the drop-out rate in the country.
According to findings released yesterday in Dar es Salaam by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Vocational Training, a total of 3.5 million children aged between 7 and 17 are out of school in the country.
The Finance and Planning Minister Dr Philip Mpango yesterday announced government plans to abolish nuisance taxes imposed on various businesses to unleash the potential of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
Speaking to the business community in Dar es Salaam yesterday, Dr Mpango pointed out that the plan to axe the unnecessary levies will be realised during the 2016/17 fiscal year.


A law which states that some physical quantity associated with an isolated system is constant.
a physical law stating that the numerical values of some physical quantity do not vary with time in any process or in a certain class of processes. A complete description of a physical system is possible only within the framework of dynamic laws that define in detail the evolution of a system with time. In many cases, however, the dynamic law for a given system is unknown or too complicated. In such a situation conservation laws permit some conclusions to be drawn as to the character of the system's behavior. The most important conservation laws are the laws of conservation of energy, momentum, angular momentum, and electric charge. These laws are valid for any isolated systems. In addition to universal conservation laws, there exist conservation laws that hold only for limited classes of systems and phenomena.
The idea of conservation originally appeared as a purely philosophical conjecture on the existence of something unchanging and stable in a perpetually changing world. The ancient materialist philosophers Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Democritus, Epicurus, and Lucretius arrived at the concept of matter as the indestructible and uncreatable basis of all that exists. On the other hand, the observation of continual changes in nature brought Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Heraclitus of Ephesus, Leu-cippus, and Democritus to the conclusion that the most important property of matter is that matter is always in motion. With the development of the mathematical formulation of mechanics, two laws appeared on this foundation: the law of conservation of mass, set forth by M. V. Lomonosov and A. Lavoisier, and the law of conservation of mechanical energy, advanced by G. von Leibniz. J. R. von Mayer, J. Joule, and H. von Helmholtz subsequently discovered experimentally the law of conservation of energy in nonmechanical phenomena. Thus, by the mid-19th century the laws of conservation of mass and energy, which were interpreted as the conservation of matter and motion, had taken shape.
In the early 20th century, however, the development of the special theory of relativity brought a fundamental reconsideration of these conservation laws (seeRELATIVITY, THEORY OF). The special theory of relativity replaced classical, Newtonian mechanics in the description of motion at high speeds comparable to the speed of light. Mass, as determined from the inertial properties of a body, was found to depend on the body's speed. Consequently, mass characterizes not only the quantity of matter but also its motion. On the other hand, the concept of energy also underwent a change: according to Einstein's famous equation E = mc2, the total energy E is proportional to the mass m; here, c is the speed of light. Thus, the law of conservation of energy in the special theory of relativity united the laws of conservation of mass and energy that had existed in classical mechanics. When the laws of conservation of mass and energy are considered separately, they are not fulfilled—that is, the quantity of matter cannot be characterized without taking into account its motion.
The evolution of the law of conservation of energy shows that since conservation laws are drawn from experience, they require experimental verification and refinement from time to time. One cannot be sure that a given law or the specific statement of a law will remain valid forever, regardless of the increase in human experience. The law of conservation of energy is also interesting in that physics and philosophy are very closely interwoven in it. As the law was refined, it was gradually transformed from a vague and abstract philosophical statement into an exact quantitative formula. On the other hand, some conservation laws appeared directly in a quantitative form. Such laws include the laws of conservation of momentum, angular momentum, and electric charge and numerous conservation laws in the theory of elementary particles. Conservation laws are an essential part of modern physics.
An important role is played by conservation laws in quantum theory, particularly in the theory of elementary particles. For example, conservation laws determine selection rules, according to which elementary-particle reactions that would violate a conservation law cannot occur in nature. In addition to conservation laws that also hold in the physics of macroscopic bodies (conservation of energy, momentum, angular momentum, and electric charge), many specific conservation laws have appeared in elementary particle theory that permit explanation of experimentally observed selection rules. Examples are the laws of conservation of baryon number and lepton number; these laws are exact—that is, they hold in all types of interactions and in all processes. In addition to exact conservation laws, approximate conservation laws, which are satisfied in some processes and violated in others, also exist in the theory of elementary particles. Such approximate conservation laws have meaning if the class of processes and phenomena in which they are satisfied can be indicated precisely. Examples of approximate conservation laws are the laws of conservation of strangeness (or of hypercharge), iso-topic spin (seeISOTOPIC INVARIANCE), and parity. These laws are strictly satisfied in strong-interaction processes, which have a characteristic time of 10–23—10–24 sec, but are violated in weak-interaction processes, whose characteristic time is approximately 10"10 sec. Electromagnetic interactions violate the law of conservation of isotopic spin. Thus, investigations of elementary particles have shown once again the necessity of verifying existing conservation laws in every domain of phenomena.
Conservation laws are closely related to the symmetry properties of physical systems. Here, symmetry is understood as the invariance of physical laws with respect to certain transformations of the quantities involved in the formulation of these laws. For a given system, the existence of a symmetry means that a conserved physical quantity exists (seeNOETHERS THEOREM). Thus, if a system's symmetry properties are known, then conservation laws can be found for it, and conversely.
As stated above, the laws of conservation of the mechanical quantities energy, momentum, and angular momentum are universal. The reason for this circumstance is that the corresponding symmetries may be regarded as symmetries of space-time (the universe), in which material bodies move. Thus, the conservation of energy follows from the homogeneity of time—that is, from the invariance of physical laws under a change in the origin of the time coordinate (translations of time). The conservation of momentum and the conservation of angular momentum follow, respectively, from the homogeneity of space (invariance under translations of space) and from the isotropy of space (invariance under rotations of space). Therefore, a verification of mechanical conservation laws constitutes a verification of the corresponding fundamental properties of space-time. It was long believed that, in addition to the symmetries listed above, space-time has reflection symmetry—that is, it is invariant under space inversion. Space parity should then be conserved. In 1957, however, the nonconservation of parity was experimentally detected in weak interactions. Once again beliefs regarding the underlying properties of the geometry of the universe had to be reexamined.
The development of the theory of gravitation will apparently necessitate a further reexamination of views on the symmetry of space-time and on fundamental conservation laws, particularly the laws of conservation of energy and momentum.
The increased concern about environmental issues such as global warming has led to more and more environmentally related legislation to be put in place, including the Revised Energy Conservation Law and legislation by local authorities such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to take action against global warming.
The Conservation Law Foundation called the deal groundbreaking.
In 2008, the Army selected him as a conservation law enforcement officer for U.
The UAE does not currently have a single national water conservation law.
Electric power generators shut down or switch to oil or coal when gas prices rise, so if we want to displace those fuels, we need more natural gas" says Christopher D'Ovidio, a staff attorney with the Conservation Law Foundation (CLF), which is active in LNG siting debates in New England.
Here in New England, the Conservation Law Foundation is promoting reforms that will give a major new push to energy efficiency.
Environmental Protection Agency and the Conservation Law Foundation, and ski areas representing about 70% of total skier visits have signed on.
In July 2016, the Government of Pakistan promulgated an energy conservation law that established a legal framework to advance and spread energy-conservation standards and an energy conservation labeling system.
Kilian, clean water program director for the Conservation Law Foundation, which is involved in the lawsuit to clean the Blackstone River and Narragansett Bay, said the district should "stop spending millions of dollars on lawyers and consultants" and start cleaning up the water.
It turns out the Game Code is the precursor to today's Environmental Conservation Law, but interestingly, only three libraries were listed as having copies.
Dubai: The first federal water conservation law is in the advanced stages and a draft law could be ready before the end of the year, a Ministry of Environment and Water official said.

Precious coral or red coral is the common name given to corallium rubrum and corallium Japonicum and some other species of marine coral. Coral is not a mined stone or mineral, but an organic gemstone, along with the pearl.
Red coral gemstone also known as Praval or Moonga, according to Vedic astrology, is the primary gem for Mars or Mangal. The ascendants that benefits the most for wearing a red coral gemstone are Scorpio, Aries, Cancer, Sagittarius, Leo and Pisces.
Red coral cosmic color is yellow, which is related to blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and the head. Wearing red coral may provide relief and protection from diseases in those parts of the body. The planet Mars is under the Earth element.
Red coral purifies the blood and helps in the eruptions of the face, acne, boils, skin ailments, wounds, cuts, recovery from surgery, and injuries. It increases sexual desire, especially in men.
Wearing a red coral is beneficial in many instances: - To boost courage, energy, confidence and leadership. - To insures victory over enemies and adversaries. - To eliminate fear and bad dreams. - To avoid violence and accidents. - To defeat mental depression. - To protect women from widowhood. - To support marital life. - To protect from evil eye, black magic and witchcraft. - To get luck and support of nature, if you were born on the 9th, 18th or 27th of each month.
Red coral jewelry needs special care. A soft and porous gem, coral scratches and abrades easily. Chlorine, alcohol, ammonia, nail polish remover, and other chemicals can easily damage this gemstone. Remove coral rings when washing and moisturizing your hands and your pendants when taking baths, showering or swimming. Avoid exposing your coral to extreme temperatures. Store your coral separately from other gemstones, as coral is softer than others and could scratch easily. To clean your coral, buff gently with a fine wool or silk cloth your red coral gemstone. Do not be shy. Buff it well. When there is black deposits in between the coral gem and the metal, use a gentle cleaning, jewelry solutions.

Q: C# webclient download latest CCleaner How can I alter my C# download method so that it gets the final download link from a given link that it redirects to the it.
Right now I'm interested in getting the last portable version of CCleaner which can be taken from https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/download/portable using a browser.
this is my current download method:
public void downloadFile(String address, String filename)
    {
        WebClient down = new WebClient();
        down.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.UserAgent,"Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; http://example.org/)");
        down.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri(address), filename);
    }

Of course using this on the given link results in the download of a file which seems to be the html page itself.
My project is and needs to be net3.5 and the download has to be async. Any idea how I could pull this off?

A: You should notice, that it is not a redirect. It is triggered by JavaScript code. The page contains the url you need, but you have to extract it yourself. Something like this could work, however you should add some checks for the regexp:
WebClient down = new WebClient();
down.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.UserAgent, "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; http://example.org/)");
var result = down.DownloadString(new Uri("https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/download/portable"));
var download = Regex.Match(result, "data-download-url=\"(.*?)\"").Groups[1].Value;
var uri = new Uri(download);

down.DownloadFileAsync(uri, Path.GetFileName(download));

Previously clear lines between Marketing and Sales are gone: Instead there is now a Marketing-Sales Continuum. The technology, sociology and economics of B-to-B Marketing and Sales functions have changed fundamentally. As a result either function can take over much of the ground of the other. By all means, do panic a bit – and then, relax. Extinction is not at hand. In fact, the new realities offer new glory for people in both functions. You can go get it.
Technology shifts. The noble and oh-so-loved Brochure cannot begin to compete with something like a multi-level micro-site with rich modular video content supplemented by a strong user forum. Likewise, the continuous marketing din that surrounds every customer portends a sad fate for anyone doing one perfectly crafted Email Blast when his competitor is using marketing automation to do 5 orchestrated customer "touches" for the same price and effort. Finally, social media is just hitting stride and has already created and destroyed businesses and sales models on a large scale.
The sociological shifts are as big and cross-generational.
Place: Last Year's Trade Shows are not where the majority of the world's new young customers are getting and exchanging advice daily on what to see and buy.
Demographics are destiny. Your geographic mix almost surely needs adjusting: Most people keep investing disproportionately in their past markets instead of the important new ones. And, yes, it will take a lot more work, because your biggest problem is not that your new customers are foreign to you, it is that you are foreign to them.
The dynamic of evaluation and decision-making have changed. There is a network rather than a path to your customer. How do you find out who is your desired customer's most influential acquaintance and what and where he/she wants to know about your product? Social media are the important new facilitators and accelerators of the primacy of customer communities.
The financial shifts are well known. Corporations expect a steady rate of productivity improvement. Sales forces are relatively expensive but efforts to limit them face the fact that those resources are difficult to leverage across geographies and product lines. The picture is no rosier on the marketing side. The effectiveness of Marketing spending often faces skepticism.
HOW IS MARKETING NOW SALES?
Because there is no alternative. The buying process has clearly changed and customers now conduct much of their product investigation and evaluation on line or in person with people other than a sales person. If Marketing does not understand that buying process thoroughly and get its company's messages where the customers are conducting their investigations, those customers will be lost to the competition.
Because generic information and sales tools have decreasing value. Customers don't have the time or patience to figure out if or how your product meets their needs. Similarly, sales forces don't have the time or knowledge to take all prospects through that process. To surmount these barriers, information, messages, sales tools and communication channels must be very specific to each target market segment.
HOW IS SALES NOW MARKETING?
How does an experienced sales person meet a quota that goes up 12% with products that don't increase in net price? Note that I said, "experienced". This isn't a matter of learning to do the sales job. You have become more effective over time and yes, you have cut into your personal time more and more to meet or exceed your quotas to date. Now what?
A CRM tool fully loaded with existing customers does nothing to expand the list of qualified prospects a sales person can address. For that, there are services that mine public sources and can give you detailed information about what customers are doing, which products they currently use, etc. But mining these sources requires a strategic marketing approach to sales development.
The capability to send automated check-in messages to customers does not provide the stratification and value added content that is really needed to evoke action or a response. For that you need to: 1. Know your high priority customer segments and 2. Develop and offer each set of target customers a continuous stream of relevant content and non-transactional engagement opportunities.
Whether the sales objective is bringing in new customers ("hunting") or building deeper buying from existing customers ("increasing share-of-wallet" or "gathering"), to reach the required new heights of their quotas, sales people need to apply focused marketing techniques.
As with all major changes, the technological, sociological and economic shifts described create waves of great opportunity for people who tune into them and act — and sogginess for those who don't. Here are three ways to ensure that you surf to success.
Each function had reached the point at which it's productivity gains were slowing or coming heavily at the expense of the personal lives of its employees. New marketing and sales automation and social media technologies are making large productivity and effectiveness leaps possible. But you'll only get their real value if you identify with the whole Continuum—not as a Marketing or Sales person, but as a Sales Development leader.
Through that lens you will see beyond arbitrary function boundaries and you will change your world. You'll probably become relentless about making tight, clear links from upstream of what you do through downstream of your actions, all the way to the ultimate results, sales. Find the gaps and fill them — or make noise until someone else does so.
Marketing and Sales activities are often very loosely aligned. Everyone assumes that someone else is ensuring their disparate efforts and assumptions are adding up to the desired results. Despite each group working very hard, relations between them often run from apathy to mutual sympathy to barely muffled acrimony. Growth often falls far short of what can happen if both functions put collective effort into focused, aligned and technology-enabled sales development initiatives.
The capture of leading metrics so that the marketing/sales effort can be adjusted frequently.
In the world of Big Data, many Marketing-Sales teams will soon be able to know every potential customer for their product and other relevant facts about them. Which function will make greater practical use of this capability?
Using Social Media, companies will truly be able to act as the "peer" and "partner" that they have always wanted to be for their customers. Which function will do so to create the highest quantifiable results?
The biggest value creators on Wall Street are now mathematicians whose algorithms exploit existing information in new ways to make profitable trades; is there analogous gold in your company's customer information?
The future of your function is exciting — and it looks a lot like you.


The energy-rich former Soviet republic Azerbaijan has jumped up by four points and acquired the 27th position among 125 Countries in World Energy Trilemma Index 2018 published by the World Energy Council (WEC) in partnership with global consultancy Oliver Wyman.
Last year, Azerbaijan stood at 31st place in the WEC's Energy Trilemma Index which ranks Countries' energy performance on three dimensions; (1) Energy Security, (2) Energy Equity, and (3) Environmental Sustainability based on global and national data.
In the Energy Trilemma Index, Denmark stood atop followed by Switzerland and Sweden at 2nd and 3rd positions respectively for maintaining well-balanced energy systems.
Likewise, Netherlands, United Kingdom (UK), Slovenia, Germany, New Zealand, Norway and France were also ranked from 4th to 10th positions respectively in top 10 performers.
Pakistan achieved the 103 position in the trilemma index with CCC balance score.
According to Azerbaijan state-run news agency Azertac, Azerbaijan is enriched with advanced energy infrastructure, fossil-fuel resources and energy system, providing itself needed capacity.
The energy security of Azerbaijan is formed by the principles of the reliable energy supply of strategic and important objects, security of the pipelines, diversification of energy sources, considerate of environmental requirements and efficient usage of energy resources.
Formed in 1923 as the UN accredited global energy body, the WEC is the principal impartial network of energy leaders and practitioners promoting an affordable, stable and environmentally sensitive energy system for the greatest benefit of all.
The WEC represents the entire energy spectrum, with over 3,000 member organisations in over 90 Countries, drawn from governments, private and state corporations, academia, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and energy stakeholders.
The World Energy Trilemma Index prepared annually by the WEC in partnership with Oliver Wyman is a comparative ranking of 125 Countries' energy systems. It provides an assessment of a Country's energy system performance, reflecting balance and robustness in the three trilemma dimensions including Energy Security, Energy Equity and Environmental Sustainability.


On behalf of EZ Messenger I would like to recommend the safer braking technology rear-end collision deterrent to any fleet managers that might be considering the purchase of this valuable safety product for their vehicles.
As one of the largest Legal Support and Delivery companies in the Southwest, it is important for EZ Messenger to have a focus on safety. We have over 90 vehicles in our Arizona fleet alone. Since installing this product on our fleet, we have been involved in ZERO rear-end collisions. Plus, our drivers have mentioned to me that they can actually see people behind them noticing the pulsing light and backing off while they are driving.

Q: How to pass more than one parameter in google Cache CacheLoader? I want to use google Cache to cache my data,So I write the code like this.I find that it can only pass one parameter that called key,But In my method,I have the other parameter,How to fix my code?
 private LoadingCacheS<tring, List<Map<String, Long>> getCache(String key,Map<String,String> para1,
 String para2){
 retrun CacheBuilder.newBuilder()
            .refreshAfterWrite(20, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
            .expireAfterWrite(30, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
            .maximumSize(1)
            .build(new CacheLoader<String, List<Map<String, Long>>>() {
                @Override
                public List<Map<String, Long>> load(String key) throws Exception {
                    return queryData(key); //can not get the other para
                }

                @Override
                public ListenableFuture<List<Map<String, Long>>> reload(String key, List<Map<String, Long>> oldValue)
                        throws Exception {
                    ListenableFutureTask<List<Map<String, Long>>> task = ListenableFutureTask
                            .create(() -> queryData(key));
                    executorService.execute(task);
                    return task;
                }

In my queryData method,I have three parameters,How to change my code?
private List<Map<String, Long>> queryData(String key,Map<String,String> para1,
 String para2){
  //query data and return data
  }

A: In these types of cases you have multiple options.
If all of the parameters are part of the mapping, then you can use a composite key. A data class that holds all parameters and correctly implements equals and hashCode is the cache key.
Sometimes these parameters irrelevant to the key but the parameters are part of a lifecycle scoped, e.g. to the http request such as the user's access token. In those cases you may be using a dependency injector like Guice that is aware of this lifecycle. In those cases you can inject a Provider<T> (or equivalent) instead and resolve the parameter at runtime.
The last option is to not use a CacheLoader but instead use cache.get(key, loader). The loader, a Callable, is a "capturing lambda" which means that it has access to parameters in the surrounding scope. The drawback of this approach is that you cannot use refreshAfterWrite since that requires a CacheLoader.


"Bullying Prevention: A Summary of the Report of the National Academies" by Daniel J. Flannery, Jonathan Todres et al.
Long tolerated as a rite of passage into adulthood, bullying is now recognized as a major and preventable public health problem. The consequences of bullying - for those who are bullied, the perpetrators of bullying, and the witnesses - include poor physical health, anxiety, depression, increased risk for suicide, poor school performance, and future delinquent and aggressive behavior. Despite ongoing efforts to address bullying at the law, policy, and programmatic levels, there is still much to learn about the consequences of bullying and the effectiveness of various responses. In 2016, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine published a report entitled Preventing Bullying Through Science, Policy and Practice, which examined the evidence on bullying, its impact, and responses to date. This article summarizes the report's key findings and recommendations related to bullying prevention.

Apex court wants Sahara's ₹34,000-cr Aamby Valley properties auctioned
PTI New Delhi | Updated on January 15, 2018 Published on April 17, 2017
Tata, Godrej, Adani show interest in buying Sahara properties
Pay ₹1,500 cr by June 15 or go back to jail: apex court to Sahara chief
Apex Court takes note of deposit of Rs 710.22 cr by Sahara chief
Apex court grants Subrata Roy 10 more days to deposite Rs 709.82 cr
Asks Subrata Roy to appear before it on April 28
The Supreme Court today asked Bombay High Court's official liquidator to sell the Rs 34,000 crore worth of properties of the Aamby Valley owned by the Sahara Group and directed its chief Subrata Roy to personally appear before it on April 28.
"Enough is enough. You cannot say something today and resile tomorrow," a bench, comprising Justices Dipak Misra, Ranjan Gogoi and A K Sikri, said, taking strong note of non-submission of over Rs 5,000 crore by the Sahara group.
The bench also cautioned Roy from playing with the court's order and said non-compliance of its order would invite the wrath of the law and ultimately he will be at his own peril.
The bench asked the official liquidator, attached with the Bombay High Court, to auction the Aamby Valley properties, estimated to be worth Rs 34,000 crore, and directly report to it.
The bench also directed Roy and his group as well as SEBI to provide all necessary details relating to the properties to the official liquidator within 48 hours.
Meanwhile, the top court restrained one Prakash Swamy, who has filed an affidavit with regard to the sale of Sahara hotels in the US, from leaving India and asked him to deposit Rs 10 crore as fine with the market regulator SEBI.
Swamy will also have to appear in person in the apex court on April 28.
The Supreme Court had on April 6 warned the Sahara Group that if it failed to deposit Rs 5,092.6 crore in SEBI-Sahara refund account by April 17 in pursuance of its order, it will be "compelled" to auction its property at the Aamby Valley in Pune.
The top court had told the group that no extension of time would be granted for depositing the amount.
The observation had come when the lawyer mentioned an interim plea seeking extension of time for depositing the money in the SEBI-Sahara refund account.
The court had also observed that it had clearly told the group that a "substantial amount" must come in the refund account.
"Whatever you do, we had told you that a substantial amount must come. Otherwise we will be compelled to put up Aamby Valley for auction," the bench had said, noting "What matters is the money coming in the kitty."
The apex court had on February 28 said "in case the substantial amount is deposited, this court may think of extending the time, otherwise appropriate direction shall be issued".
The court had last month ordered an international real estate firm, which had shown willingness to buy Sahara's stake in New York-based Plaza Hotel for $550 million, to deposit Rs 750 crore in the SEBI-Sahara refund account, instead of the apex court registry to show its bonafide.
The top court had earlier directed attachment of Sahara Group's prime property for realisation of money to be paid to its investors.
It had also asked the group to provide it within two weeks the list of "unencumbered properties" which can be put up for public auction to realise the remaining over Rs 14,000 crore of the principal amount of around Rs 24,000 crore that has to be deposited in the SEBI-Sahara account for refunding the investors.
The court had on November 28 last year asked Subrata Roy to deposit Rs 600 crore more by February 6 in the refund account to remain out of jail and warned that failure to do so would result in his return to prison.
It had on May 6, 2016 granted a four-week parole to Roy to attend the funeral of his mother. His parole has been extended by the court ever since. Roy was sent to Tihar jail on March 4, 2014.
Besides Roy, two other directors — Ravi Shankar Dubey and Ashok Roy Choudhary — were arrested for failure of the group's two companies — Sahara India Real Estate Corporation (SIRECL) and Sahara Housing Investment Corp Ltd (SHICL) — to comply with the court's August 31, 2012 order to return Rs 24,000 crore to their investors.
However, director Vandana Bhargava was not taken into custody.

Hot Fuzz (2007)
August 30, 2010 October 20, 2019 Matthew Parkinson 0 Comments Bill Bailey, Bill Nighy, Billie Whitelaw, Chris Waitt, Edgar Wright, Hot Fuzz, Jim Broadbent, Joe Cornish, Lucy Punch, Martin Freeman, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Peter Wight, Rafe Spall, Review, Robert Popper, Simon Pegg, Timothy Dalton min read
Hot Fuzz is a 2007 action-comedy film starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as Nicholas Angel and Danny Butterman respectively. It is, in essence, a buddy cop film, with Angel being the serious cop, while Butterman is the goofy cop. Angel doesn't want to be near Butterman to begin with, but eventually warms up to the idea, before the two decide to attempt to solve what has been behind a series of "accidents" in the town of Sandford.
Nicholas Angel is the top police officer in London. He has a 400% greater arrest record than any other officer, and because of this, he is making the other cops look bad. They don't exactly like looking bad, so he is transferred to the small, peaceful town of Sandford. There hasn't been a registered murder in 20 years in Sandford, and the lack of action has begun to drive Angel insane. While arresting every person who commits a minor offense, a few gruesome deaths occur later on. Angel believes these deaths are murders and is now dead set on bringing down the murderer.
Now, with Hot Fuzz being a buddy cop film, the relationship between the two main cops needs to develop and blossom. In this case, it does this with drinks and older buddy cop films. Those older films definitely foreshadow events later on in the movie, with the pace quickly changing from that of a comedy to that of an old school shoot-em-up. Does that quick shift work? Well, not entirely.
Now, Hot Fuzz is a funny movie, don't get me wrong. However, the comedic performances of the entire cast go far downhill when the action begins. This may be because none of the cast really are "action stars," at least, they aren't anymore, so to compensate for this, the film hardly lets you see what happens. The action scenes are all quite blurry and hard to follow, really dragging down what otherwise is a really solid and funny film. The climax of the film is essentially a twenty-minute shootout, most of which you can't actually see because it is too blurry.
Hot Fuzz is an
above-average comedy film spliced
together with a subpar action film.
Despite the action scenes being lackluster, the rest of the film is quite funny. Pegg and Frost carry the majority of the film, with Pegg playing the entire thing straight, and Frost being the naive child of the team. Pegg is truly the main character, being serious for almost all the time is on screen, and most of the jokes made at his disposal, and him just brushing them off. This works quite well, and ends up being quite funny, just due to Pegg's overbearing commitment to be the best cop out there. Another noteworthy performance goes to Timothy Dalton as the prime suspect in the murders. He owns the local supermarket, and is always dropping subtle hints as to how he supposedly murdered every person who had an "accident." He plays the typical evil villain quite well, helping along the plot and providing quite a few laughs, even when not being part of a joke. The only real problem that the comedy aspect of the film faces is how forgettable the whole thing is. None of the jokes are memorable, and by the next morning, you'll have difficulty remembering even one joke. It is funny in the moment, and is an entertaining film to watch, but once you finish, you will go on with your day. You sadly won't be chuckling later on after fondly remembering a funny scene.
Despite the fact that the film is very funny in the moment, I can't help but think that it might have worked even better with a different cast, director, genre, and ending. The premise of the film actually could have worked quite well as a thriller, building up tension all throughout, before a twist that you probably won't see coming pops up. As it is, it works just fine as a comedy, but bringing in some serious actors, with a director that does thrillers well, and I'm thinking you'd have a pretty decent movie on your hands. I'm not really sure if that many people would agree with me on this, as the film itself does work really well as is, but it might be worth a shot.
As it is, Hot Fuzz is an above-average comedy film spliced together with a subpar action film. It works well when it's mostly all about detective work, but when the action is thrown in and overtakes the comedy portions, the film falls flat. Even the death scenes seem a bit out of place. They are gory and over the top, something that to me seems a bit out of place in a film like this. The first 90 minutes are excellent, while the last half hour just doesn't live up to the standard of the rest of the film. That's not to say it isn't entertaining, it just feels bland compared to the rest of the film, and uninspired when compared to other action films. It's funny, but for the most part, forgettable. What you will remember are the action scenes, and they really aren't conducive to the genius that is the rest of the film. That's too bad, but it's how it is with many comedies. It's funny in the moment, but easily forgotten about the next day.
Conclusion: A funny movie mixed with a middling action film, Hot Fuzz is fun in the moment but somewhat forgettable after it ends.
Recommendation: Hot Fuzz is funny enough to be worth watching.
Rating: ***1/2

Hulk tries to be an artsy superhero movie but fails to entertain. It's too boring to be worth watching.

Nothing in this world satisfies me more than the feeling I get knowing my clients are ecstatic with their real estate experience!


So what can you do during those moments when self care and cleanliness doesn't seem worth it at all? I got the idea for this post from Juliette Virzi ,Associate Mental Health Editor. Who strongly believes that mental health care should be accessible to all. She is a Mental Health Editor of the online article " The The Mighty. She listed (7) hacks but I am going to list the (4) that I use.
1. One Small Task At A Time.
This tip is listed in Juliette's article as well and I firmly agree with. Sometimes when you complete one task in the morning even if it is really small, it gives you confidence to do another small task.
- When my eyes open in the morning I open my window right away. I remember my mom emphasizes to me to open my window first thing in the morning and I never understood that but as I get older I realized how much natural light changes my mindset.. maybe not all the way but a little.
Just avoiding those extra steps can be a huge help.
3. Take a bath instead of a shower.
- I have been doing this especially when I have a depressive episode. Sometimes it is easier to just run the bath pour shower gel and sit in the bath.
You can even take a bath at night and then just do a quick cleanse in the morning.
4.Turn on your favorite type of music/ Encouraging podcast in the morning.
Especially when your going through your hygiene process. In the morning I put on my Christian music playlist or I listen to my my favorite Podcast, it really helps to have positivity flowing in and out of your ear first thing in the morning. You may not care about what it is saying at the moment but trust me your mind is catching and storing those positive vibes in your memory and it makes a difference.
5. Have (2) deodorants/ (2) Body sprays at all times.
Have one in your bathroom for when you get out of the shower and one in your backpack or purse for when you are going out. That way you always have one to reapply when you need it during the day.
I'll be the first to say I struggle with this. This was something that was really embarrassing for me because I would have a difficult night and then the next morning I would feel like I got ran over by a train and just not want to do anything. But this doesn't have to be something to be embarrassed about and if you go through the same thing.. now you know that there is someone who also does and you are not alone.
You are NOT a freak, You are NOT disgusting, You are NOT depression. So take the day by its horns a little task at a time. You can do it.
or blog posts on this kind of space . Exploring in Yahoo I eventually stumbled upon this web site.
Reading this info So i'm happy to show that I've an incredibly excellent uncanny feeling I discovered exactly what I needed.
I most for sure will make sure to do not fail to remember this web site and provides it a glance on a constant basis.
I do find that a bath is easier than a shower when I'm not doing well. yes opening up the curtains ! My mother used to do that first thing when I was a teenager and it bothered me to no end, but now I get it.


- Soak both dal in plenty of water for an hour. Pressure-cook them in salty water for 4 whistles.
- Heat ghee in deep-pan and add cuming seeds, hing.
- Once it crackles, add chopped onions along with ginger-garlic paste and green chillies.
- Saute it for a min and when onions are translucent, add chopped tomatoes and cook for 2-3 mins.
- Add boiled dal mixture and all the spices into it.
- Mix well and cook it for 5-7 mins more. Keep stirring in between to maintain a medium-thick consistency (add some water at this stage, if required).
- Turn off the heat, mix lemon juice and transfer it to a serving bowl.
- Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and cream before serving!
- Serve as a classic combo of "Dal Takatak" with Jeera Rice!

10 of the creepiest abandoned movie sets you can actually visit
From 'The Hills Have Eyes' to 'Gone Girl,' these forgotten sets bring smiles as well as goosebumps this Halloween season.
by Michael d'Estries | Friday, October 5, 2018
When the final "Cut!" is shouted by the director and the lights and cameras packed away, the elaborate film sets left behind are often quickly dismantled. In rare cases, however, whether due to budgetary constraints or a private agreement, the sets are left intact – offering fans a unique way to interact with Hollywood history beyond the silver screen.
Below are just a few abandoned sets spanning films across several decades that remain, at least in most cases, accessible to the daring and curious. While some are but a haunting shadow of their blockbuster days, others exude a dilapidated charm that, like the films they starred in, is nothing short of timeless.
Mos Espa Set from 'Star Wars: The Phantom Menace'
For the setting of the desert alien world of Tatooine in "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace," American director George Lucas chose to return to Tunisia, near the Sahara desert, for scenes involving Anakin Skywalker's home planet. The country had previously hosted Lucas and his crew during filming for the first entry in the original trilogy, 1977's "Star Wars: A New Hope."
While the prequel trilogy relied heavily on computer-generated environments, the producers chose to build actual sets in the desert landscape. At the urging of the Tunisian government, they then left behind the 20 buildings and its set pieces once filming was completed. Today, curious fans can visit the abandoned town of Mos Espa and scour the sun-baked huts that served as the childhood setting for the Jedi who would become Darth Vader. For some, this could even be the perfect place to pull off a "Star Wars"-themed wedding.
Will American director Rian Johnson and his Israeli producing partner Ram Bergman take advantage of these sets once more for the next trilogy in the series? We don't yet know, but clearly Tatooine on Earth is waiting for them should the pair choose to revisit the beloved alien world.
The town of Spectre from 'Big Fish'
For his 2003 fantasy drama "Big Fish," American director Tim Burton chose Jackson Lake Island, situated on the Alabama River, as the setting for the film's enchanting town of Spectre. Instead of CGI, Burton opted to build a small town complete with rows of homes, a church and numerous businesses. Once filming was complete, the entire set was left as is: a piece of Hollywood history that you can still visit today.
As you might expect, time has left Spectre looking more like a ghost town than the wonderfully colorful version represented on screen. Nonetheless, there's a certain charm that still permeates the natural setting that's worth visiting to experience. Those interested can pay a small fee to tour the set or even camp on the island overnight.
The gas station from 'The Hills Have Eyes'
While the vast majority of abandoned movie sets appear drastically different years removed from their time in the spotlight, the same cannot be said for the iconic gas station from the 2006 horror film "The Hills Have Eyes."
Based on the chilling 1977 original crafted by American director Wes Craven, this updated version tells the story of a family traveling through the New Mexico desert who stop and ask for directions at a dilapidated gas station. The attendant sends them along a shortcut through the hills, a piece of advice that turns out to have grave consequences.
Instead of shooting in the U.S., the producers decided to build a U.S.-themed gas station and diner on a remote location outside the sand-swept city of Ouarzazate, Morocco. The set is still there and, as shown in the video above, remains in a remarkable state of preservation – with American props from canned goods to sports team memorabilia adorning both the inside and outside of the building. It's so complete and unsettling, one almost expects a director to yell "Action!" at any moment.
Needless to say, if you enjoy being scared to pieces by horror films, this is one set visit you should add to your bucket list.
Hawthorne Plaza Mall from 'Gone Girl'
"Gone Girl," a 2014 thriller adapted for the silver screen by American director David Lynch and Arnon Milchan, a prolific Israeli producer, pushed audiences to the edge of their seats. One scene in particular, a visit by police to an abandoned mall, is fondly recalled by fans for raising the goosebumps.
The actual location was shot at the partially dead Hawthorne Plaza Mall in Hawthorne, California. Since its closure in 1999, the distressed remains of the once bustling shopping center have been featured in films like "Minority Report," "Rush Hour" and "The Fast and the Furious" franchise. While it's not legal to tour the ruins from within, fans of "Gone Girl" can still take a stroll around the crumbling ruins of its 40-acre footprint.
The Medieval village from 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters'
Located within the sprawling grounds of the Babelsberg Film Studio in Germany, the world's oldest large-scale film studio, sit the eerily beautiful remains of the Medieval-era village from the 2013 action-horror-comedy "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters." The set, as well as other pieces of Hollywood history, can be visited as part of a studio tour. Films of note to have shot at Babelsberg include "V for Vendetta," starring Israeli-American Natalie Portman, the Marvel superhero film "Captain America: Civil War," and the psychological thriller "A Cure for Wellness."
The District 12 village from 'The Hunger Games'
If you've ever dreamed of visiting the District 12 village that Katniss Everdeen of "The Hunger Games" came from, the odds are ever in your favor.
The Henry River Mill Village, a North Carolina ghost town abandoned in 1987, doubled in 2012 as the post-apocalyptic District 12 during filming of the first movie in the "Hunger Games" trilogy. Highlights from the film include Mellark's Bakery and Katniss' home, one of 21 dilapidated workers cottages dating back to when Henry River was a flourishing textile town.
The entire 72 acre town was once for sale, but has since been taken over by local citizens who intend to create a "Henry River Mill Village Business District." Their goal is to not only capitalize on the ghost town's starring role alongside stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth, but also to educate tourists on the unique history of the region.
The Bus Scene from 'The Fugitive'
One of the most iconic moments from the 1993 thriller "The Fugitive" occurs when fugitive Richard Kimball, played by American actor Harrison Ford, leaps from a transport bus just as it's smashed by a freight train. As it turns out, that stunt not only involved an actual train and bus, but you can still visit their mangled remains today.
According to production notes, the train scene cost $1 million to film and was done in a single take. Once American director Andrew Davis had the scene in the can, the derailed train and pieces of the bus were left to the elements along a portion of the Smoky Mountain railroad outside Dillsboro, North Carolina. Those traveling along the excursion railroad can still glimpse these haunting, rusted pieces of Hollywood history.
The Spanish Mission from 'The Patriot'

Cypress Gardens, a 170-acre preserve in South Carolina, encompasses gardens, an 80-acre blackwater cypress swamp and, if you know where to look, the remains of a pivotal scene from the 2000 historical epic "The Patriot."
The Spanish Mission, a custom-built set that included a ruined church and bridge, served as that base of operations for the fictional character of Benjamin Martin and his rebels in the film. When the production completed in 1999, these authentic-looking set pieces blended so beautifully with the environment, the decision was made to leave them.
That said, Cypress Gardens doesn't just attract fans of "The Patriot." The 2004 romantic drama "The Notebook," starring "Doctor Strange" actress Rachel McAdams and "Blade Runner 2049" star Ryan Gosling, also filmed its iconic lake scenes at the preserve.
The Viking village from 'Vikingr'
Back in 2010, Icelandic director Baltasar Kormákur was ready to embark on filming a new action-drama epic called "Vikingr." In anticipation, he even went ahead and ordered the construction of a realistic viking village located in the wilds of southeast Iceland. Unfortunately, despite a commitment from Universal in 2014 to back the film, funding issues have left the set today unused and left awaiting its moment in the spotlight.
History buffs or curious tourists can take advantage of this developmental limbo by paying a small fee to a farmer for complete access. Amidst the buildings and other features depicting viking life in the 9th century, there's even a dungeon you can explore under a false boulder. Just remember to bring your viking beard to complete the experience.
The Irish village from 'Ryan's Daughter'
For the 1970 romantic epic "Ryan's Daughter," set in an isolated region on the coast of Ireland, British director David Lean decided to create the mythical village of Kirrary from the ground up. While much of the set has since been reclaimed by nature, the stone schoolhouse – the site of several memorable scenes – has remained standing. Today, tourists still captivated by a film some critics have renamed "an overlooked masterpiece" can still visit these ruins, located outside the town of Dingle, and take in the gorgeous vistas of Ireland that surround them.

Born in 1969, Bernie van der Vyver played from an early age with his pencils, paper and clay on a farm in Bethal. He had a passion for Wildlife and was drawing wild animals as soon as he was able to control a pencil. One of his favourite pastimes was to escape to the marshlands where he could mould forms of animals from clay.
During his high school years, he took art as a subject, but his work was considered too realistic to qualify as art. A few years later he took up a sub division of art: Sculpting as a subject and worked mainly with iron as a medium. He matriculated with a distinction in art and received certificates throughout his schooling years from the Department of Education.
His creativity and passion blossomed in 1999 and he started to draw in soft pastels. His paintings started to sell and he painted on commission until 2005 when he explored oils due to the request by prospective buyers.
His talent is so diverse that he also paints pictorial paintings on commission despite the fact that wildlife is his first love. He also enjoys doing wildlife photography in the National Parks, which he uses as reference for his unique paintings.
In 2006, he resigned from the South African Police Service and started to practice his art full time. He continues in the field of sculpting and is exceptionally gifted in sculpting wild animals out of clay, which are then cast in bronze by the foundry. Before he starts a sculpture, he makes a detailed study and plan which includes a visit to a National Park and takes photographs of the particular animal.
Bernie's detailed work offers inspiration with true African spirit.
Most of Bernie van der Vyver's work is commissioned To find out how you can commission Bernie, to do work for you, please contact him. Paintings where other photographers' photos are used, permission is acquired and copyright fees are paid over to them..

Matt Shepard's Pinay friend makes movie on late LGBT icon's life and death
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – It was a high profile murder in Wyoming that sparked a national movement for gay rights. College student Matthew Shepard was beaten to death in 1998 for being gay.
A biopic was made and anti hate crime legislation has since been passed.
But more than 15 years later, a documentary is making waves entitled "Matt Shepard is a Friend of Mine". At the helm is a Filipina Michele Josue, who was close to the young man at the center.
"I think we have a great opportunity so many years later to teach a young generation about Matt's story for the very first time," Josue said. "I wish we never had to make this film, and I wish Matt was still with us."
Josue was one of the late Shepard's friends. The two met as high school students at a boarding school in Switzerland.
"We became close friends through the theater and he was just a wonderful kind person and he really taught me a lot about what it means to be a good friend and a good person," recalled Josue.
In the film, which has won several awards on the festival circuit, Josue follows Shepard's footsteps from Wyoming to Switzerland, using home videos, letters written to classmates, and news archives.
"It just took me this amount of time to feel emotionally prepared to embark on a project of this magnitude. I was only 19 when Matt died and it was incredibly devastating as a friend; for all of us. It was kind of the first time I saw how cruel the world could be," explained Josue.
Josue, along with Matt's family will continue touring the film throughout the US. It will also hit television on the Logo Channel, CBS' channel which focuses on the LGBTQ community.

Q: Trying to join a table of individuals to a table of couples, give a family ID and not time out the server I have one table with fake individual tax records like so (one row per filer):
T1:
+-------+---------+---------+
| Person| Spouse  | Income  |
+-------+---------+---------+
|     1 |       2 |   34000 |
|     2 |       1 |   10000 |
|     3 |    NULL |   97000 |
|     4 |       6 |   11000 |
|     5 |    NULL |   25000 |
|     6 |       4 |  100000 |
+-------+---------+---------+

I have a second table which has tax 'families', a single individual or married couple (one line per tax 'family').
T1_Family:
+-------- -+-------+---------+
| Family_id| Person| Spouse  |
+-------- -+-------+---------+
|        2 |     2 |       1 |
|        3 |     3 |    NULL |
|        5 |     5 |    NULL |
|        6 |     6 |       4 |
+------ ---+-------+---------+

Family = max(Person) within a couple
The idea of joining the two is for example, to sum the income of 2 people in one tax family (aggregate to the family level).
So, I've tried the following:
select *
into family_table
from
    (
        (select * from T1_family)a
    join
        (select * from T1)b
    on a.family = b.person **or a.spouse = b.person**
    )
where family_id is not null and person is not null

What I should get (and I do get when I select 1 random couple) is one line per individual where I can then group by family_id and sum income, pension contributions, etc. BUT SQL times out before the tables can be joined. The part in bold is what's slowing down the process but I'm not sure what else to do.
Is there an easier way to group by family?

A: It is simpler to put the data on one row:
select a.*, p.income as person_income, s.income as spouse_income
into family_table
from t1_family a left join
     t1 p
     on a.person = p.person lef tjoin
     t1 s
     on a.spouse = s.person;

Of course, you can add them together as well.


For our first collection of 2016, we're heading to the circus. The spectacle, the bold colors, the high spirits: Our Spring 2016 collection takes its inspiration straight from the tents.
This is a bright and fun-loving bunch of frames, crafted from premium acetate in lively new hues like Maraschino and Peacock Green, and returning favorites Bellini and Canton Blue. We're also reprising the luxurious (and crowd-pleasing) detailing from our Concentric Collection; Haskell in Crystal comes outfitted with an inner ring in one of three colors—Blue Jay, Manzanita, and Maple—applied by way of a specialty friction technique. They're guaranteed showstoppers.
Rounding out the collection are three new silhouettes: studious Dorset and charismatic Kensett and Burroughs, whose rounded browlines and squared-off lenses seriously up the charm.

Driver shot by hunting bullet dies as French mayors urge non-hunt days
A senior politician says the change is possible but will need to be debated in parliament, as hunters and ecologists clash over stag hunts in the north west
The hunter who fired the shot has been charged with manslaughter by police Pic: Marianne Danielsen / Shutterstock
By Joanna York
A 67-year-old man who was hit by a hunter's bullet while driving has died from his injuries the public prosecutor in Rennes said, prompting local mayors to call for partial hunting bans.
The driver was travelling along the RN137 near Rennes on October 30, when a 9.3-millimetre bullet ricocheted off a stone and flew into his car.

A hunter who fired the bullet, aged around 70, was immediately taken into police custody and police confirmed on Monday (November 1) that he was being charged with causing involuntary injury during a hunt.
The charges have now been upgraded to manslaughter.
Local mayors call for non-hunt days
Five mayors in the Ille-et-Vilaine department where the incident took place are now calling for days or half-days on which hunting would be banned.
In a letter to the prefect, the mayors of Bruz, Laillé, Noyal-Châtillon-sur-Seiche, Orgères, and Pont-Péan asked the authorities to take "all necessary measures to guarantee the public safety of our citizens," France Bleu reported.
They said this should include national discussions "to define necessary legislation for public safety during hunts", including requirements for hunters such as eye tests and new conditions for obtaining permits.
They also called for restrictions on the organisation of hunts, such as greater distancing from populated areas and possible non-hunt days.
In the days following the incident, presidential candidate for Europe Ecologie – Les Verts (green), Yannick Jadot, called for hunting to be banned at weekends and during school holidays.
Ecology Minister Barbara Pompili responded to the mayor's letter on November 3, telling FranceInfo: "All suggestions are possible."
She said the government "must investigate area by area" before "making a national framework" to be debated in parliament.
Hunters and hikers collaborate in north west
Some departments have already reached their own agreements.
Last year in Côte-d'Or (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté), local hunting and hiking organisations signed a charter to "live together in nature".
One step taken towards this is the Chasse Info app, launched by the hunting organisation, to provide up-to-date information on when and where hunts are taking place so hikers can plan their walks safely.
However, Corinne Detouillon, president of hiking committee the comité de Randonnée pédestre de Côte-d'Or, told FranceInfo that while the app was good in theory, "when I look at the app it says there could be hunts happening everywhere… It's difficult sometimes to find places without a hunt in the area".
Dispute over stag hunting in Jura
This comes as a collective in the neighbouring Jura department has launched an online petition to suspend stag hunting in local forests.
The petition, which has more than 40,000 signatures, says that current hunting targets show "there is a will to eliminate stags in the Chaux forest" due to the damage they cause by eating the leaves of young trees.
"The forest is being industrialised and is becoming a profit-seeking wood factory", said Olivier Trible, from the Collectif de défense des cervidés en forêt de Chaux, on France 3.
"Stags are considered harmful to the optimisation of the wood industry, as they cause additional costs."
Stags were reintroduced into the Chaux forest 70 years ago. Today, hunt targets are made based on night-time counts of stag populations by hunters and forest management teams.
President of la Fédération des chasseurs du Jura, Christian Lagalice, said population numbers remain stable, despite higher hunting targets.
"In 2005, there were 98 stags to remove in the whole Jura department, meaning 81 in Chaux forest (82% of all removals).
"In 2021, we had 923 stags [to hunt] with 372 in Chaux, or 40%. Last year it was 361, so an increase of 3% is completely reasonable."

Building a Billion
The story of John McCarthy
By Charlie Berridge
Hardback £16.99 / $27.99
eBook £14.99 / $17.99
Jacket text
John McCarthy MBE, of McCarthy & Stone, is a self-made multimillionaire. He and his family have been long-term members of The Times Rich List. One of the best examples of the self-made man, John started working life at fifteen as a "chippy". Every venture he has embarked on, he has achieved with drive and success. His legendary reputation is as the most successful builder of retirement homes across Europe. He has also built and skippered winning ocean-racing yachts. He has owned and run a top polo team. He became a big game hunter and avid game bird shooter, underwater diver, skier and squash player. He makes other septuagenarians look really old.
In this book John McCarthy recounts his fascinating life story so far. But these are not just the interesting memoirs of a successful man. John's tussles with bankers and lawyers, planners and politicians, Government red tape and political autocracy, competitors and recalcitrant employees tell a story that has real relevance to all aspiring entrepreneurs in whatever field of endeavour. John McCarthy's rules of engagement and how to build a billion pound company are as topical now as they were when he did it.
Charlie Berridge was born on the Glorious 11th August in 1949. He attended the King's School at Ely where he fagged for Alan Yentob but not the future Lord Browne. He wanted to farm, became a ten pound pommie and joined the Royal Agricultural College as a "mature" and married student. His first proper job was at the Golden Wonder potato crisp company in Market Harborough. Having learned about sales and marketing he left to work on his own companies with like minded friends. Village Green Country Crafts, You Must Be Joking, Retail Concepts and Minds Eye took him from hand made rural crafts to Whoopee cushions into fashion jewellery and greetings cards.
In 1999 he had a heart attack and took off for the High Pyrenees in France where he lived in his mountain retreat. He adventured around France in an absurd three-wheeled vehicle raising awareness for the heart charities of France and Britain. In 2004 he returned and took an MA course in creative writing in Bath Spa university. He published his first book, "French Letters, a journey to at least three places" in 2007. He is a regular correspondent for some of the better glossy country sporting magazines
He likes fine food and even finer wine. He has three children from his first marriage and a son in his second brood. He has four grandchildren; a pair each in Australia and Hawaii. He lives in Somerset.

Our students thrive, alongside peers with similar learning modalities, learning from teachers who understand their strengths and challenges.
The Southport School (TSS) campus is located on 2.5 picturesque acres in the historic Southport village, steps from Southport's harbor. The main school building is housed in the former Pequot School Building on the same site where Southport's elementary school and community center have stood since 1855. The classic brick building was erected in 1918, replacing an older wooden structure. In 2017, the School acquired the historic Southport Bank building, erected in 1865, to house its new arts, music, and movement programs and teacher training center.
Closed as a school in 1972, the historic Pequot School Building was acquired by the Southport Conservancy as a treasured landmark. The year 1985 saw its rebirth as a school when it was leased to TSS under the direction of founding Headmaster Len Tavormina, who had succesfully directed the School's Pilot Program in 1984. TSS holds a 99-year lease on the building.
Extensive renovations throughout the 1990s transformed the building's interior into a model day school environment. Classrooms, tutorial rooms, offices, staff resource center, curriculum center, and spacious Tavormina Hall were all specially adapted to comfortably serve TSS' unique educational offerings.
Tavormina retired in 2012, making way for TSS' second headmaster: Dr. Benjamin Powers, an educator with deep experience in language-based learning disabilities, like dyslexia, ADHD, and executive functioning differences. Under Powers' leadership, TSS has aligned its program with the huge shifts happening in the learning difference community, thanks to burgeoning brain-based research.
Since his arrival, TSS launched an updated elementary and middle school program for students in kindergarten through 8th grade; focused on incorporating assistive technology into the program; integrated speech and language pathology; instituted an executive function coaching model; trained all of the faculty in the Orton-Gillingham approach; and, developed affiliations and partnerships with leading LD/ADHD organizations and research institutions. In 2017, TSS acquired the adjacent Southport Savings Bank property, transforming it into a vibrant space for the arts, music, and movement, as well as creating a space for professional development and training.
The Southport School is for children in grades kindergarten through 8th grade with language-based learning differences, like dyslexia, and ADHD.

Pavel Grigorievitch Kourlov (Павел Григорьевич Курлов), né le 5 (17) janvier 1860 et mort le 20 juin 1923), est un lieutenant-général de l'armée impériale russe qui fut appelé au plus hauts postes de l'État : gouverneur de Kiev et de Minsk, vice-ministre de l'Intérieur, commandant-en-chef d'un corps de gendarmerie. Dans l'émigration. il écrivit ses Mémoires sous le titre de La Mort de la Russie impériale.

Biographie

Formation
Kourlov naît dans une famille de la noblesse. Son grand-père de simple homme du rang s'est hissé jusqu'au grade de général-major, son père est parti à la retraite avec le rang de général d'infanterie. En 1879, il termine l'école de cavalerie Nicolas. Il sert au régiment des grenadiers de la garde à cheval, dans les brigades des gardes-frontières de Tauroggen, Bakou et Saint-Pétersbourg.

Carrière
En 1888, il termine l'académie juridique militaire Alexandre et sert dans la Supervision du Procureur. Il est affecté au bureau du procureur du district militaire de Moscou. À partir de 1890, il est au département du ministère de la Justice (procureur adjoint de Kostroma, Tver, Vladimir, tribunaux de district de Moscou). En 1891, il est mis en réserve du service actif. En 1899, il est nommé procureur du tribunal de district de Vologda et en 1900 procureur adjoint de la cour de justice de Moscou.

En 1903, Kourlov est nommé vice-gouverneur de Koursk, en 1905, gouverneur de Minsk où il traverse les épreuves de la révolution de 1905. Il réprime la parole des opposants et ne refuse pas l'ordre de tirer sur une foule de manifestants à Minsk le 18 (31) octobre 1905 provoquant la mort de cent personnes ; il échappe à plusieurs tentatives d'assassinat. Le 14 janvier 1906, une bombe est lancée contre lui des mains du socialiste révolutionnaire (SR) Ivan Poulikhov, aidé d'Alexandra Izmaïlovitch et peut-être financé par le député Eustache Lioubanski. Il est finalement rappelé à Saint-Pétersbourg

Kourlov est nommé en 1906 membre du conseil du ministre de l'Intérieur, en avril-août 1907 il est directeur adjoint du département de la police. En 1907, il devient chef de l'administration pénitentiaire principale du ministère de la Justice.

En 1909, Kourlov est appelé au poste de vice-ministre de l'Intérieur, dirigeant le département de la police, commandant le corps de gendarmerie où il s'est «distingué» en participant à l'affaire de la falsification du testament du prince Oguinski par le père et le fils Vonlarlarski. Après l'assassinat de Stolypine en 1911, qui traumatise le régime, Kourlov, dont l'inaction a été mise en cause par la commission Choulguine, est définitivement renvoyé.

1914-1917
Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, Kourlov sert dans le commandement des approvisionnements du Front Nord-Ouest, puis comme chef adjoint du district militaire de la Dvina pour la partie civile. En 1916, il est pendant deux mois vice-ministre par intérim de l'Intérieur. La même année, il propose un . Les principales dispositions de ce projet sont la réforme agraire et la reconnaissance de droits civiques égaux pour les juifs.

Après 1917
Après la révolution de février 1917 qui instaure la république, il est arrêté le 28 février (13 mars) par le gouvernement provisoire. Il passe plusieurs mois en prison à la  forteresse Pierre-et-Paul de Pétrograd, puis à la prison de Vyborg. Après avoir été interrogé par la commission d'enquête extraordinaire du gouvernement provisoire, il est transféré pour des raisons de santé en résidence surveillée en août 1917. En août 1918, il parvient à fuir à l'étranger, pour échapper à la Terreur rouge.

En émigration, il participe aux activités des organisations monarchistes. Kourlov écrit:

Il meurt le 20 juin 1923 à Berlin. Il est enterré trois jours plus tard au cimetière russe de Tegel.

Famille
 Kourlov épouse en premières noces le 5 juillet 1887 Maria Ivanovna Vakhrameïeva (1865-1930), fille d'un riche industriel du poisson, maire de Iaroslavl, Ivan Alexandrovitch Vakhrameïev. Mais ce mariage ne la rend pas heureuse et les proches du ménage en accusent Kourlov lui-même. Ils se séparent rapidement.

 Il épouse en secondes noces la comtesse Maria Vladimirovna Armfeldt (née en 1882), divorcée de Gueorgui Nikolaïevitch Villamov. L'Église orthodoxe russe autorisant dans certains cas le remariage de divorcés, la cérémonie a lieu en l'église de la Résurrection d'Ostachkov dans le gouvernement de Tver. Ils ont une fille, Hélène, et un fils, Nicolas.

Worthington is giving residents the opportunity to put their food waste to use through a new pilot composting program.
The program, which runs until February 2020, allows up to 400 residents to bring food scraps for composting to the city's service-and-engineering department, 380 Highland Ave.
Rob Chandler, assistant to the director of the service-and-engineering department, said the official start date was Feb. 14.
Dan Whited, Worthington's director of service and engineering, said the pilot program is limited to 400 residents because that is the maximum the service-and-engineering department can facilitate.
Whited said 232 residents have registered to participate in the program thus far.
He said residents who are interested in participating may call the service-and-engineering department at 614-431-2425 or submit a form through the online portal at worthington.org/1896/food-scraps-drop-off.
The city is partnering with Innovative Organics Recycling, a Columbus food-waste recycling company, to compost the waste.
The Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio gave the city a grant to start the program.
Hanna Greer-Brown, communications manager for SWACO, said Worthington received a grant of $4,680 to help start the program. Chandler said the city provided $1,560 for program costs.
Greer-Brown said SWACO leaders were interested in providing a grant because the pilot program aligns with the work SWACO has undertaken with reusing food waste.
Chandler said discussion among council members and city leaders spurred development of the program.
"When Bexley started their pilot program, it caused us to look a little deeper," he said.
The city website, worthington.org, cited another reason for offering the program was "roughly 40% of all food bought in the United States is thrown out. That's a lot of landfill space that can be saved, greenhouse gas that can be reduced, and usable soil amendments that can be implemented."
Chandler said city leaders would evaluate options in meetings with SWACO after the conclusion of the pilot program, but they would like to offer some sort of composting program for all residents in the future.
"What that looks like a year from now, we're not certain," he said.
Ray Leard, owner of Innovative Organics Recycling, said his company picks up the scraps after they are dropped off by residents and will take them to the company's facility, 2121 Integrity Drive S. in southeast Columbus, to compost.
Whited said the pilot program is for households only.
Businesses interested in composting can sign up on the company's website, innovativeorganicsrecycling.com, for a free two-week waste audit for the company's commercial program, he said.
Leard said residents should drop off their compost every week or every two weeks so the food scraps remain fresh and the quality is better.
A list of foodstuffs that can be composted and prohibited items is available at innovativeorganicsrecycling.com/can-cant-compost.
Leard said residents may use their own buckets or obtain one with a plant-based liner from the service-and-engineering department. The liner can be used to help transfer the compost to a large container at the service-and-engineering department, he said.
The buckets are free but must be returned at the conclusion of the program, Chandler said. No cost is needed to participate, he said.
"It's really simple on purpose," Leard said.
Leard said after the food waste gets picked up, it is dumped onto a concrete pad at the Innovative Organics Recycling facility.
Wood chips, leaves, sawdust or another type of carbon material are added to the mixture, he said. It takes about three months to decompose, he said.
Leard said it is the same process as making typical backyard compost.
"It's a very simple system, and people like simple," he said.
