Requests for bank account or credit/debit card information — Fraudsters may try to get you to give them your bank account or credit/debit card details.
Requests to send money — Fraudsters may ask you to send money to them. Genuine families will never ask for payment of any kind.
Fake cheques — This scam involves the fraudster sending a cheque to you and asking for a wire transfer back for an amount less than then original cheque. The cheque may credit into your account but after a period it is found to be fake and bounces. You will then be left out of pocket having sent money back to the fraudster.
Identity fraud — Confidential documents such as your passport, National Insurance number, driving license, qualifications etc. are valuable items. These important documents could be used by fraudsters to set up bank accounts, apply for benefits, apply for credit etc. We strongly suggest that these documents should not be made available online or by email, but can be brought for review at interview.
Documents such your passport, National Insurance number, driving license, qualifications etc are valuable items. Identity theft can be carried out by fraudsters using these documents to set up bank accounts, apply for benefits, apply for credit etc. We strongly suggest that these documents should not be made available online or by email but can be brought for review at interview.
If at any time during email or telephone conversations with another party you feel uneasy, uncomfortable or something doesn't feel quite right, trust your instincts and stop the process.
Always tell a friend or family member where you are going, when, and who you are meeting with. For a first interview, if you prefer not to meet at the home of the family, suggest meeting for a coffee and chat in a public place. Whether you are meeting at someone's home or in a public place you can always ask a friend to come with you and wait outside the home, or nearby.
If you are a candidate meeting a potential employer, they may wish to view documentation such as your passport, driving license etc., so be prepared.
For both candidates and employers, trust your instincts and use common sense. If you feel unsure about the answers given to your questions, seek clarification to those answers.
Employers should ask candidates for and check references as well as other documentation, including their current CRB disclosure if they have one.
The candidate's eligibility to work in the UK.
The candidate's previous employment references — if checking by phone, a landline would be better than a mobile.
When reviewing the candidate's CV, if there are any gaps in their employment history, ask why and what they were doing during that time.
Ask why the candidate left any previous positions — this can be verified when the references are checked.
If you are interviewing a childminder, ask for their registration number which can then be checked with the relevant authority.

Q: Использование классов, реализующих обобщенный интерфейс Имеется следующая примерная структура классов и интерфейсов. В дальнейшем хочется реализоваться такую возможность, чтобы была функция (у отдельного класса, естественно), принимающая список различных источников (базовым классом всех будет являться Source) и возвращающая такую структуру данных (или объект), который бы содержал всю загруженную информацию со всех источников, переданных в аргументах. Важно то, что тип этой загружаемой информации может отличаться у разных источников информации.
Вопрос: как это можно реализовать?
public interface IDownloadMaximumInformation<T>
{
    T DownloadMaximumInformation(string url);
}

public class Datatype1 { /*...*/}
public class Datatype2 { /*...*/}

public class Source {/*...*/ }

public class Source1 : Source, IDownloadMaximumInformation<Datatype1>
{
    public Datatype1 DownloadMaximumInformation(string url)
    {
        //...///
        return new Datatype1();//Условно, в реальности будет по-другому
    }
}

public class Source2 : Source, IDownloadMaximumInformation<Datatype2>
{
    public Datatype2 DownloadMaximumInformation(string url)
    {
        //...///
        return new Datatype2();//Условно, в реальности будет по-другому
    }
}

A: Не уверен, что вам нужна такая сложность, но допустим у нас есть интерфейс
public interface IDataType { }

И наследники
public class Datatype1 : IDataType { /*...*/}
public class Datatype2 : IDataType { /*...*/}

Определим интерфейс обработчика
public interface IHandler<T>
{
    void Handle(T item);
}

Напишем 2 обработчика для разных типов
public class Datatype1Handler : IHandler<Datatype1>
{
    public void Handle(Datatype1 item)=>
        Console.WriteLine("Handled at Datatype1Handler with love");
}

public class Datatype2Handler : IHandler<Datatype2>
{
    public void Handle(Datatype2 item) =>
        Console.WriteLine("Handled at Datatype2Handler no love");
}

Далее, я использую словарь как реестр зарегистрированных типов, вы можете использовать тут что угодно
var registry = new Dictionary<Type, object>();
registry.Add(typeof(IHandler<Datatype1>), new Datatype1Handler());
registry.Add(typeof(IHandler<Datatype2>), new Datatype2Handler());

Теперь, преставим, что у нас есть данные разных типов в списке
var list = new List<IDataType>() {new Datatype1(), new Datatype2(), new Datatype2(), };

Ну, теперь пробежимся по списку, найдем нужные обработчики и вызовем их
foreach (var item in list)
{
    var targetType = typeof(IHandler<>).MakeGenericType(item.GetType());
    var handler = registry[targetType];
    targetType.GetMethod("Handle").Invoke(handler, new[] { item });
}

На выходе получаем
Handled at Datatype1Handler with love
Handled at Datatype2Handler no love
Handled at Datatype2Handler no love

UPD
Поменяем интерфейс хандлера
public interface IHandler
{
    bool CanHandle(IDataType item);
    void Handle(IDataType item);
}

Несколько хандлеров
public class Datatype1Handler : IHandler
{
    public bool CanHandle(IDataType item) => item is Datatype1;

    public void Handle(IDataType item) =>
    Console.WriteLine("Handled at Datatype1Handler with love");
}

public class Datatype2Handler : IHandler
{
    public bool CanHandle(IDataType item)=> item is Datatype2;
    public void Handle(IDataType item) =>
        Console.WriteLine("Handled at Datatype2Handler no love");
}

public class AllTypesHandler : IHandler
{
    public bool CanHandle(IDataType item) => true;
    public void Handle(IDataType item) =>
        Console.WriteLine("All types handler!");
}

Далее, поскольку все хандлеры у нас имеют конструкторы по умолчанию, можно пробежаться по сборке и насоздовать их
// парсим текущую сборку, находим и создаем все хандлеры
var registry = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
                .GetTypes()
                .Where(t => t.IsClass && typeof(IHandler).IsAssignableFrom(t))
                .Select(t=>Activator.CreateInstance(t))
                .Cast<IHandler>()
                .ToArray();

Уже привычный список данных
var list = new List<IDataType>() {new Datatype1(), new Datatype2(), new Datatype2(), };

Обработка их хандлерами
foreach (var item in list)
{
    foreach(var handler in registry)
    if (handler.CanHandle(item)) handler.Handle(item);
}

Теперь хандлеры не связаны с типами, каждый хандлер сам решает, может он обрабатывать данные или нет по своей собственной логике. Вывод ожидаем
Handled at Datatype1Handler with love
All types handler!
Handled at Datatype2Handler no love
All types handler!
Handled at Datatype2Handler no love
All types handler!

Mosul: Iraqi forces close in on Bartella and Tob Zawa
Offensive to reclaim ISIL's last major urban bastion in Iraq enters second week, with fighting east and south of Mosul.
Video Duration 02 minutes 55 seconds 02:55
Published On 25 Oct 201625 Oct 2016
Iraqi forces have fought their way into two villages near Mosul as the offensive to retake city enters its second week.
Iraqi special forces began shelling ISIL positions before dawn on Monday near Bartella, a historically Christian town to the east of Mosul that they had retaken last week.
With patriotic music blaring from loudspeakers on their Humvees, they then pushed into the village of Tob Zawa, about 9km from Mosul, amid heavy clashes.
After entering the village, they allowed more than 30 people who had been sheltering in a school to escape the fighting.
Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, fell in 2014 under the control of ISIL, or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group, also known as ISIS.
Several countries are involved in the battle to reclaim the city, including Turkey which on Sunday confirmed its first attempted shelling of ISIL positions near Bashiqa, a key town near Mosul, at the request of Peshmerga forces.
"The Peshmerga forces have now reached the town of Bashiqa but are not inside it yet," said Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdel-Hamid, reporting from Erbil. "It may take a few days. They [Peshmerga] suspect that there are a few ISIL suicide bombers inside."
READ MORE: What is Turkey trying to achieve in Iraq?
Turkey's moves on Sunday raised tensions between Ankara and Baghdad. Relations have been strained after Turkey sent hundreds of troops to the Bashiqa region to train anti-ISIL fighters.
Baghdad labels the move a violation of its sovereignty and demands Turkish withdrawal, a call which Ankara ignores.
Elsewhere, the Iraqi Federal Police, a military-style force, pushed into a small village in the Shura district south of Mosul, where they fired a large anti-aircraft gun and rocket-propelled grenades as they battled ISIL fighters.
They later appeared to have secured the village, a cluster of squat homes on a desert plain, and handed out water and other aid to civilians.
The US-led coalition said it had carried out six air strikes near Mosul on Sunday, destroying 19 fighting positions and 17 vehicles, as well as rocket and mortar launchers, artillery and tunnels.
Daquq attack
Human Rights Watch has called for an investigation into last Friday's purported air strike in northern Iraq that struck the women's section of a Shia mosque in the town of Daquq.
The strike happened amid a large ISIL assault on the nearby city of Kirkuk that was meant to distract the Iraqi forces and their allies from the massive operation around Mosul.
The ISIL attack on Kirkuk, some 170km southeast of Mosul, lasted for two days and killed at least 80 people, mainly members of the Kurdish security forces, who assumed control of the city in 2014 as Iraqi forces crumbled before an ISIL advance.
Fears grow for citizens as Iraqi forces advance on Mosul
HRW said Daquq's residents believe the attack was an air strike because of the extent of the destruction and because planes could be heard flying overhead. The New York-based watchdog said at least 13 people were reported killed.
The US-led coalition and the Iraqi military, which are waging the offensive to drive ISIL from Mosul, are the only parties known to be flying military aircraft over Iraq.
The US denied conducting the deadly strike.
Iraqi Brigadier-General Yahya Rasool, the spokesman for the Joint Military Command, confirmed the Iraqi government was investigating the attack. He declined to say whether Iraqi or coalition planes were flying in the area at the time of the explosion.
The campaign to retake Mosul comes after months of planning and involves more than 25,000 Iraqi troops, Kurdish forces, Sunni tribal fighters and state-sanctioned Shia militias. It is expected to take weeks, if not months, to drive ISIL out of Iraq's second largest city, which is still home to more than a million people.
ISIL has suffered a series of setbacks over the past year, and Mosul is its last major urban bastion in Iraq.
"What allowed ISIL to gain large traction in Iraq was the breakdown of the political order in Baghdad," former Iraqi ambassador to the UN Feisal Istrabadi told Al Jazeera.
"Leaderships throughout the country will have to make the necessary compromises and political bargains to dry out the swamp that allows ISIL to thrive."

It has been 17 years since America was changed forever on September 11th. It has been 17 years since thousands of families had their lives inexplicably altered, losing loved ones and friends. So many did not get to experience the birth of their child, the marriage to their sweetheart, graduations, birthdays and anniversaries.
I am one of the thousands of people who worked near the World Trade Center that day. I was an eye witness to the horror of what we now call 9-11, a day that changed the course of my life and the lives of so many others.
I didn't work in the World Trade buildings, although I didn't work that far away from them. My office was perched on the 58th floor of the then Chase Building, looking directly at the Towers.
As did so many others that day I emerged from the subway on Wall Street and was greeted by a billowing of smoke and thousands of papers careening from the blue, bright sky. My subway car arrived a few minutes after the first plane hit the Towers. I panicked at first, thinking that the building over which my subway exit was located was on fire. But that was not the case and you know the rest. Fortunately I survived, but not after going up to my office and watching the second plane go directly through the South Tower and then walking 58 stories down to the ground level.
Once down I immediately started walking toward the Brooklyn Bridge, which was ultimately the best decision I made that day. I escaped by running for my life ahead of the plume that was the Towers as they crashed down with a roar. Like many others I walked to 42nd Street and beyond, when Grand Central was closed. I was lucky. I commandeered an express bus to the Bronx (the driver made me pay the $2.00 fare). I made it home that day. As we all know, so many people did not.
Even though that day was 17 years ago I can still close my eyes and see the day unfold before me. It is a film that has receded from my daily thoughts, although it is still there and never far from my thoughts. Every year since I have watched the ceremony in NYC and listened to all the names who gave their lives that day. How can I not? I witnessed their murders. A nurse friend of mine said that my brain was permanently scarred by the horrors I saw. I prefer to think of myself as a person who will always remember the 2,980 people whom I never met but who are always in my thoughts and prayers.
If you are reading this I also have a favor to ask of you. I hope that today you will also remember and say a prayer for the brave first responders – the police, firefighters, EMTs, construction workers and anyone else who responded and worked what they called the "pile" to search for survivors, then the remains, and then to clean up the devastation.
Many are now suffering from their exposure to the toxic dust and many have given their lives as a result of that exposure and their heroism in the days following the attack. I think of these men and women in addition to those I saw die that day. I watched them daily from my window at work in the days and years afterward. They have my prayers too.
I also ask, and I say this selfishly, that, in addition to those that gave their lives their lives and whom we remember today, and those that worked recovery, you remember the everyday workers who returned to their jobs in a war zone and also breathed the toxic air each time they went out for lunch. These folks bravely faced an unknown time and saw men and women with automatic weapons roaming the streets and subways protecting the area. They tried to carry on as though nothing happened, even if it did, and live with what they saw. I know, I am one of them.
I have never been able to call that day 9-11. To me it will always be September 11th. Maybe it is because I was born on the anniversary of another American wartime tragedy – December 7th, Pearl Harbor. To me that day will always be September 11th and it is never far from my thoughts even if it was 17 years ago.

Sportsmen and Women Contribute Over $93 Billion to Fuel the Nation's Economy
September 4, 2018 (Washington, DC) - With countless places to roam and enjoy the great outdoors, Americans are taking advantage of these opportunities, and as they go, spending significant dollars. New economic reports by Southwick Associates reveals more than 53 million Americans consider themselves sportsmen and women, spending more than $93.5 billion in 2016 on gear, licenses, travel, clothing, gas and more.
In a series of reports released today by the American Sportfishing Association, National Shooting Sports Foundation and the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation (CSF), expenditures made for hunting, target shooting and sportfishing gear and services in 2016 supported 1.6 million jobs and provided $72 billion in salaries and wages. These monies also generated nearly $20 billion in local, state and federal taxes, much of which benefits vital conservation and educational programs that improve our outdoor areas for all who enjoy them and make hunting and shooting safer activities.
"Hunting, angling, and the shooting sports continue to be a critical and significant contributor to the nation's economy, and to the conservation of our nation's natural resources through the American System of Conservation Funding," said CSF President Jeff Crane. "CSF looks forward to continuing to work with our partners and policy-makers to enhance our outdoor sporting traditions through federal and state policies.""If hunting, fishing and target shooting were a corporation, it would rank #25 on the Fortune 500, ahead of Microsoft," says Rob Southwick, President of Southwick Associates. "While time spent outside may come across as something to do after the real work day is done, in reality hunting, fishing and target shooting is a critical industry, generating jobs and income for thousands of communities across the country."
Key highlights of the reports include:
Each year, 35.8 million people 16 years and older take to America's waters to fish.
More than 28 million people over 16 years old took to our nation's public and private lands and waters and gun ranges to hunt and target shoot in 2016.
The number of people who participate in sportfishing, hunting and target shooting represents 16.5 percent of the total U.S. population.
When factoring in multiplier effects, spending by sportsmen created economic activity in excess of $220 billion.
Hunting, fishing and shooting adds $119 billion of overall value to our nation's gross domestic product and generates $17.6 billion in federal taxes and $12.2 billion in state and local taxes.
The 2018 edition of the America's Sporting Heritage: Fueling the American Economy report is sponsored by American Outdoor Brands Corporation; Pure Fishing, Inc.; and Safari Club International.
Since 1989, the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation (CSF) has maintained a singleness of purpose that has guided the organization to become the most respected and trusted sportsmen's organization in the political arena. CSF's mission is to work with Congress, governors, and state legislatures to protect and advance hunting, angling, recreational shooting and trapping. The unique and collective force of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus (CSC), the Governors Sportsmen's Caucus (GSC) and the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses (NASC), working closely with CSF, and with the support of major hunting, angling, recreational shooting and trapping organizations, serves as an unprecedented network of pro-sportsmen elected officials that advance the interests of America's hunters and anglers.

One of the most important basic principles of catch-and-release fishing is called "selective harvest." Basically, this means that if you are fishing for...
10 Things to Consider Before (or shortly after) Purchasing Your First Firearm
Owning a firearm is a big responsibility. That's why we've come up with 10 things you need to consider before you buy, or carry, your first firearm.


Credit Cards & Cash | Spend More With Credit Cards?
You are here: Home / Credit Cards / Does Spending Cash Really Save Money When Compared to Using a Credit Card?
Does Spending Cash Really Save Money When Compared to Using a Credit Card?
In 2006 my wife and I attended a Dave Ramsey Live Event. If you happen to be unfamiliar with Dave Ramsey he doesn't like credit cards. Actually, he hates them. If he had it his way he would gather up all the credit cards in the world, shred them, burn them, encase them in cement, then drop it into the deepest spot in the ocean. I think you get my drift.
You will spend more with credit than cash. Aside from fees, research is available that says on average you will spend 12-18% more if you use cash. No one ever got rich by taking advantage of credit card rewards.
Cash Vs. Credit Cards: Do You Spend More?
In 2006 my family moved to Alotau, Papua New Guinea. A country referred to as the 'land time forgot.' So without any choice or say in the matter, were were forced to become a cash only family because no one accepts credit cards where we live.
Since we have now operated almost exclusively as a cash only family for three years I wanted to address the question: can you really save money using cash?
Cash adds a level of inconvenience that saves money. There have been numerous occasions when I have been in a store, items in hand, when I realized I had either forgotten my wallet or didn't have enough money. I replace the items on the shelves. At times I went back to get them, but on other occasions I just didn't bother.
Cash adds a level of inconvenience that costs money. When using cash tipping at a restaurant typically involves rounding to the closest dollar (or more). Imagine if your bill and 15% tip totaled $18.78. If I had a credit card I would typically feel alright about my total charge being an odd number. With cash, however, I usually don't ask for $1.22 in change.
When you are in the habit of paying with cash, it does not feel any more real than paying with credit. I can still walk out of a grocery store and not know what the total was.
You recognize your spending every time you got to the ATM. For me the ATM experience proves that we save more with cash than with credit. It is at the ATM where you ask, did I really just spend $500 in the last week? The question forces me to go back and review our budget to confirm our spending. The value of this level of conscientiousness is worth more than any 2-3% you receive in credit card rewards.
My personal verdict? We spend less with cash than we do with credit cards.
Nevertheless, we do still use credit cards based on some guidelines my family established. If you want to learn more you can read our family guidelines for using credit cards.
What do you think? Does spending cash save money compared to credit cards?
You're right. I suspect if people gave it a try they would come to the same conclusion. Many of us (myself included) are/were hesitant to try it. I wonder why?


Every project has its own uniqueness to it. That is why renting a roll off dumpster will help make it run smooth from the beginning. By using a dumpster rental in Millcreek you are utilizing a single location to throw your junk away. This makes your project easier so that more time may be spent working on the project, not making trips to the dump.
Each bin has a large date at the back end. This allows the ability to walk large, bulky items directly inside. This creates more space for the lighter loose material later on. You are able to fill the dumpster to the brim but make sure not to overfill. We have to pick the dumpster up and drive on the highway with it. It is hazardous to our drivers and others if material happens to fly out. Unsure if your dumpster is too full? Send us a picture and we will give you the okay.
I overfilled a dumpster, but these guys treated me right through the whole thing. Kudos.
Trucks run out of Salt Lake City but service Millcreek and its surrounding suburbs. We have created relationships with haulers around town in order to keep our prices competitive. Our goal is to save you time and money when you rent a dumpster in Millcreek. Family owned Discount Dumpster treats every customer fair from the beginning. We are here to help so if there are any questions that arise please feel free to reach out.
We offer deliveries all over town including residential homes, construction sites, shopping centers, hotels, schools, parks, office parks, and more.

Opposition Councillors on Cornwall Council vote against Mayor referendum vote for Cornwall
Opposition members of Cornwall Council from the Independent, Liberal Democrat, Labour and Mebyon Kernow Groups have today voted against County Hall having a vote on whether the plans should be put to a referendum of the people of Cornwall, despite having previously proposed a motion asking the council to do just that.
Councillors today voted 43-34 to pass a motion that read:
'The decision on whether Cornwall Council should vote on whether or not to hold a referendum to decide whether the Council is, in future, led by an elected Mayor, should be deferred until a report is received by Council on the outcome of the public consultation on the Devolution Deal including the requirement to have an elected Mayor.'
However despite previously leading on calls for County Hall to have a vote on whether the plans should go to a public referendum or not, the motion was only passed because the Conservative Group voted to support them.
Cllr Linda Taylor, Conservative Group Leader and Leader of Cornwall Council said:
"I was really surprised to see our opposition apparently united in opposing plans that will, following the shortly forthcoming consultation to the people of Cornwall, see a vote at County Hall on whether future plans for a Mayor should go to a referendum or not."
"Our excellent Customer and Support Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee Chair John Keeling quite rightly put forward an amendment to the original motion saying that we as a council should not be making any decisions on this crucial matter before having all of the relevant information available. This includes the information on the Deal itself, as well as on our consultation to the people of Cornwall on the subject."
"This amendment was passed and became the substantive motion, but it appears that our opponents threw their toys out of the pram and refused to support it. Indeed, if they had had their way today, there would be no future vote on a possible referendum or not to the people of Cornwall, and it was only because of Conservative Councillors that this motion was passed and this possibility left on the table."
"As I have always said, we should not be making decisions on important matters like this without having all of the information to hand to allow us, as a council, to make a true informed decision."
"Sadly it appears the other political groups on the council are following the example of the so-called Independent Group, who in May this year said they were unanimously opposed to any Mayor without knowing any of the details."
"We will continue to work with all reasonable partners to ensure these plans are properly scrutinised and decisions made on how they proceed once all information is provided and the people of Cornwall consulted."
"To do anything else, and instead to rush to hasty decisions based on political bias, would not be right for the people of Cornwall."
Conservative Group on Cornwall Council welcomes new ally in County Hall
The Conservative Group on Cornwall Council has today welcomed Cllr Paul Wills, who represents St Columb Major, St Mawgan & St Wenn, as a Conservative-aligned Independent, following his quitting of the so-called Independent Group.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how much art surrounds us at all times. Sometimes we seek it out, like when we're visiting a gallery or museum, but other times we float by, completely oblivious.
The picture at right is from a cafe here in Cincinnati, The Coffee Shop on Madison, which has a stunning corner lined with Charley Harper prints.
Across town, there's an apartment building that must house a fairly busy artist: Every window of one first-floor unit is covered in portraits. They're not Renoirs, but who cares?


I started my business in 2016 after making a few cakes for family and friends. After baking my son's first birthday cake, I realised that I really enjoyed the decorating aspect, and started to get into sugarcraft techniques and modelling with sugar paste.

We're always thrilled to receive good news from fellow Greenrockers. Here's a recent letter from Bermudian vet Angela Maureen Ware-Cieterss, a.k.a. Dr. Ware. Bermudian vet Dr Ware poses with her new THINK electric car before shipping it to Bermuda.
My name is Angela Maureen Ware-Cieters, and I am a Bermudian veterinary surgeon, who has been a life-time supporter of 'thinking green' and wherever possible making sure our actions are green.
I thought you may be heartened to know, I have finally been able to put my money 'where my mouth is' - so to speak - and invested in an electric car. It is a very special little vehicle: Designed in Norway and branded "THINK", it is compact and energy efficient.
The one we have just purchased runs on a lithium battery, and after being fully charged can do 160 kilometres without needing to be recharged....so at least one week's driving on island, I would guess.
My Husband and I first saw the little car on display in northern Italy. After test drives and lots of questions we decided to ask for a permit to import one to BDA, which the Transport Control Department kindly approved quickly, and without any difficulty....and the relief from tax is was real incentive for us to make the effort to import it ourselves.
Last week we sent it by rail to Bremerhaven, and today it is being shipped to the Island via the US.
I am attaching a few photos of the dispatch. My Husband Jan Cieters will clear it on or around 8th December, when it is supposed to arrive with MSC.
THINK electric car in Bermuda....promising 160 kms per chargeHere's a link to more pics.
Well done to Dr Ware and her hubbie Jan Cieters. We look forward to hearing more from you both in the future.


My Brother-In-Law wasn't feeling right yesterday, tight in his chest and a bit of pain. He walked into the clinic in the afternoon and ended up getting raced to the Hospital in the next town. This morning they confirmed a complete blockage in his heart and had a stent put in this morning. He's recovering well and resting.
He's 42, a fit guy, eats well, doesn't smoke or drink..

Q: Facing issue with JPA merge. Merge operation not reflecting in DB and query is executing twice I am new to JPA and am facing this issue for the past two days . Whenever i am trying to update my object in the database , the merge query is executing twice and the data is not updated in the Database . Can any one tell me where i have done mistake .
here is the Snippet :
Employee emp = em.find(Employee.class,empid);
if (emp != null) {
    emp.setDescription("Success");
    emp.setDob(new Timestamp(new Date().getTime()));

    etxn = em.getTransaction();
    etxn.begin();
    em.merge(emp);
    System.out.println(em.merge(emp));
    etxn.commit();
}

A: Thats because you are calling merge method twice

A: Since you are using the same EntityManager, and JPA transactions, you do not even need to call merge.
Perhaps enable logging and include the log.  Also include the code for you class.


It's supposed to snow again. Not lightly, but a lot. It's late and it hasn't started on schedule but that's like a lot of things in life. So you wait. You want to be able to predict if your path will be crap or clear when you're finally set to go.
I'm waiting on a couple of things and I can feel the potential building. It's in the pattern of events. Not a 100% guarantee mind you, could just as easily deflate, but like the smell of snow, change is in the air. i'm smelling beneficial change for me, but we'll see. Ya' just never know what your gonna' get. Sleet, snow. rain, wintry mix… if you're prepared at least snow can be fun and the rest not so bad. Definitely not getting rain, though. Plenty of that soon enough. Change is always coming.
Overwhelmingly, the men told Schilt that they were being treated better than they'd been treated as women.
I've been to the annual motorcycle show at the Javitz in NYC several times and this years didn't disappoint. In fact I'd say it exceeded my expectations because I didn't get the flu like the last couple of times I went. I mean, what's the point of sitting on a static bike if you're not going to pretend your riding it? So of course we all put our hands on the grips and go "vroom-vroom"… 10,000 hands later and Steve gets the flu. Two years running. This year I attribute my bullet dodging to copious use of hand sanitizer and now I have no fear of fondling motorcycles at future events.
The neatest thing about the show is that you see people from every walk of life that inhabit the NJ, NY, CT tri-state area. Old Harley dudes, young hispanic guys posing on every bike in site for a photo opportunity like they're trying on different tuxes for the prom, Europeans (sorry to be so generic but I can't recall every accent), guys that rode to the show (carrying their helmets), women who ride, and just about every color under the rainbow. It's not an exclusive club. Although some would have you believe that. We're not all edgy risk takers and you need to be one too to sign up. Some of us just accept that being alive comes with risk, we mitigate accordingly, and get on with enjoying it. Life does not come with a guarantee of duration, health, limb count, happiness, freedom from oppression or any of that stuff. But it does come with a guarantee of change… if you can hang on long enough.
In the past I'd gone with a buddy of mine but this year I went with my eldest brother. I seldom had a chance to spend one on one time with him when his boys were younger but time moves on and things change. The biggest change was that he finally broke down and bought a motorcycle after many years of prevaricating. So, now we have a hobby (finally we're beyond just talking about it) and a solid reason to do some stuff together. Vroom-vroom, away we went.
At some other time I would've said my bro and I were very different people but as I (we?) get older it seems to me like we're pretty much the same but with different aspects of our character in dominance. That's probably clearer now because we're grown adults with our own families. We're not living together and competing for the same resources (personal space, parents affection, the last damn donut=>Battle Royale!) and have otherwise outgrown the roles we used as children to secure what we needed with a minimum of head-to-head competition. That's what those artificial, I'm the wild one, I'm the fast one, I'm the oldest, or whatever roles are for… staking out your own turf.


The only downside of the INSERT/SELECT approach, is if you're planning onimplementing permanent journals on the target server, and rolling data from source server to target, post-restore. An entry for the associated table IDs - i.e. on the source and target systems - will need to be created in DBC.Association, and you'll need the initial dictionary copy that precedes the cluster loads to sort this out.
It gets v-e-r-y messy otherwise !


Traditional gifts for the fourth year of marriage include both flowers and fruit, however, there are a number of contemporary gift ideas to choose from too.
These include accessories, appliances, and linen boasting hints of blue topaz.
Whether it's your own 4th wedding anniversary or if you're celebrating a friend or family member's special day, knowing what to buy your nearest and dearest can be a tricky decision.
If you have chosen to opt for tradition, look no further than fruit and flower-inspired 4th wedding anniversary gifts. From fruit selections to colorful bouquets, there are an endless array of options to pick from.
Pineapples are trending this season, and stylish gold pineapple decor makes for an ideal anniversary gift. It offers a contemporary spin on traditional 4th wedding anniversary fruit-inspired presents and is the ideal option for those who enjoy something quirky in style.
Flowers are often gifted to those celebrating their 4th wedding anniversary, as they are said to represent how much your relationship has blossomed. Why not go that one step further and name a Rose after your loved one. A number of companies allow you to do this, with the gifted being granted an official document and a pack of seeds that allows them to grow their very own gorgeous roses in their garden. Whether you name it after your partner or something that means something to you both, this is a thoughtful and unique gift to give.
The gift of fruit, similar to flowers, represents how much your marriage has developed and grown by the fourth year. An apple tree, when cared for correctly, is a gift that keeps on giving.
Fill the home you share with your loved one with an assortment of lovely scents by gifting your nearest and dearest with a scented candle. A large candle jar makes the sweetest of anniversary presents. Opt for a floral scent to ensure you pay homage to the 4th wedding anniversary theme.
Jewelry is adored by almost all! If gifting your wife this anniversary, choose pieces inspired by floral elements and hints of blue topaz, portrayed in Roman mythology for its peace and healing powers.
Instead of a bouquet of flowers, present your loved one with an orchid. This long-lasting, almost maintenance-free plant makes a wonderful 4th-anniversary present. They're also available in a wide range of hues, meaning there is one to suit all personas and decors.
Another floral themed gift comes in the shape of a 'grow your own sunflower kit'. Sunflowers are symbolic of adoration, love, and joy, which makes this present an ideal gift for your 4th wedding anniversary. And of course, it's lots of fun to grow your own flowers!
For a gift that is both practical and stylish and still relevant to the 4th-anniversary theme, opt for a fruit bowl or rack. Choose a style that matches the decor of those you are gifting.
From contemporary pineapple prints to traditional paintings of fruit bowls brimming with fruit, a print is a great wedding anniversary gift. You could even go the extra mile and place it in a stylish frame.
If you're on a budget, choose the likes of a floral wash bag for a 4th wedding anniversary gift. There are a number of styles to choose from, many of which boast an assortment of pretty floral designs.
You can never go wrong with a gorgeous bunch of flowers to make your partner smile, and what better excuse than your 4th wedding anniversary – it's a tradition after all! You can find a gorgeous range of anniversary flowers online and in florists. You can even team this gift with wine, champagne, a plant or chocolates to make the gift extra special.
For a romantic and luxurious gift, opt for a 4th wedding anniversary gift of a bouquet of pretty roses and a bottle of champagne. Place the champagne in a luxury, satin lined box and for extra pizazz, add a personalized bottle label.
For someone who is garden-proud, a clematis plant is a great gift to give. These unique, purple flowers are a good alternative to a traditional bouquet.
Who doesn't like chocolate? Combine 4th-anniversary traditions with chocolate coated fruit – the perfect gift for those with a sweet tooth. The only issue with this present? It may not last that long!
One for those who enjoy being pampered, floral fizzy flower bath bombs will not only help your loved one to relax, but a number of today's sweet-smelling bombs are embellished with a variety of pressed flowers too. Ideal for sticking to the anniversary theme.
Shake up their morning brew with fruit infused coffee. A great gift idea for those who need a little help waking up in the morning and one that is guaranteed to impress coffee connoisseurs. Push the boat out and team with a coffee machine – appliances are a modern-day gift choice for the 4th wedding anniversary.
If they need a little help ensuring they get their five a day – a mirrored fruit bowl is an ideal option. This is the perfect gift for those who live in a contemporary abode as it can fit seamlessly alongside modern décor.
Choose and print one of your favourite memories and place in a beautiful, floral-themed frame. This gorgeous gift is a great present to give to a partner, or alternatively, a good gift for friends and family to gift parents and loved ones.
We hope we've managed to provide you with some inspiration for a 4th wedding anniversary, and all that's left to say is congratulations!


Every business needs an identity to stand out in the market and to have a sizeable customer following. So, food trucks are no exception. If you are planning to venture into this line of business, you'll need to differentiate yourself from others.
For starters, you'll need an exceptional name as well as product design. This brings us to a marketing concept called branding. Branding generally refers to creating a business name, a logo, and product image that represents your business.
How do you want your customers to define your business? You have to think of an identity that sets you apart. Since you are offering food, the name should preferably be something about food to properly define your business. You may have to include your main topping in the design.
Though a food truck business is primarily known to sell fast food, you have to think bigger than just local selling. Think of delivering the delicacies to other parts of your locality. The name should be able to reflect this. This is the basis of branding.
Customers are generally not interested in intricate recipes. They don't care much about the ingredients or the preparation method as they care about the taste. Provided that the taste is good, they'll buy it. So, go straight to describing the taste in your food and not the recipe.
Branding is all about speaking the same message in different ways. Basically, your customers need to distinguish your brand's message regardless of what medium you use. Whether it's through email, website, or print media, your voice needs to be clear.
You don't have to assume that the customers know your brand and are able to identify your employees without making an effort. You need to show your business logo on the food truck, on the work uniform, and on the business cards. This will constantly remind the audience about your tasty foods.
Proper branding leads to higher sales, increased customer loyalty, and can go a long way in protecting your prices in times when competitors rely on promotional discounts and other costly marketing strategies to drive sales. Branding also give you an ideal platform which you can always leverage to expand your business or extend your brand.
However, branding is not just a marketing strategy left for large restaurants. Food truck vendors can also employ it to promote their businesses. Strive to put the above tips in mind so that your food truck business can stand out from the crowd.

Q: read() and write() not working as expected This is something I did as part of simple experimentation;
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int fun()
{
 int d=10;
 write(1,(int*)d,sizeof(d));
}

int main()
{
 int x;
 fun();
 read(1,(int*)x,4);
 printf("x=%d\n",x);
 return 0;
}

As you can see I am trying to access value of d in fun() function via the IO stream (IO files) stdout; I tried using stdin as well but the thing is x value is not changing. (I tried in an online IDE.) But as per my thought stream, it should change to value of d.
Can anyone help me see why it is not doing that?

A: read and write require pointers. In your case it is &d and &x.  Casting int to int* usually makes no sense.

A: First, correct call to read() and write() would include getting a pointer to your variable and passing it.
Second, you read and write from stdout (file descriptor 1), as opposed to your description. It doesn't matter if you read from stdout instead of stdin, according to
https://stackoverflow.com/a/7680234/2543937
Third, it's better to use the unistd.h definitions (STDOUT_FILENO, STDIN_FILENO, etc), instead of fd numbers directly.
int d, x;
write(STDOUT_FILENO, &d, sizeof(d));
read(STDOUT_FILENO, &x, sizeof(x));
printf("x=%d\n", x);

In regard to what I think was your initial idea: when you read from stdout (or stdin), the data comes from the keyboard input, and not from what was printed to the screen earlier - so value of d should not make it to x.

A: Replace line :
write(1,(int*)d,sizeof(d));

with :
write(1, &d, sizeof(d));

and line :
read(1,(int*)x,4);

with :
read(1, &x, 4);

Reason for this modification :
As you can see in this reference for read(), the prototype for function read is :
ssize_t read(int fd, void *buf, size_t count);

and respectively the prototype for function write is :
ssize_t write(int fd, const void *buf, size_t count);

as shown in this reference for write().
Therefore, both functions require a pointer as their second argument. So you must pass a memory address to them.

NOTE : You try to make a pointer from an integer by casting it to int*. Actually, int* indicates a pointer in the case of a declaration or in a prototype, but when you use * in front of a variable's name, it indicates the contents of this variable. The symbol & is used to indicate the variable's address.

Wonderful post, Randy! You paint such a vivid picture of trust and got me thinking about some aspects in a new way. Thank you!
Hi Jamie, thanks for your comments. I'm glad you found the article helpful.
Absolutely right. I too have been making the case for years in particular about your myths 1, 2 and 3.
I love your number 6 – you highlight the critical relationship between trust and risk. Too many people equate trust with low risk, but the absence of risk isn't trust, it's predictability (and probably low trust, since it can't exist without risk).
Another one you might consider is the idea that "Trust comes from being trustworthy." Well, partly. But the other part is that great quote from one of Roosevelt's Cabinet members, "The fastest way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him." Trust is two-sided: it takes a trustor and a trustee. The trustor is the one taking the risk, the trustee is the one who is (or isn't) trustworthy. And – you can't just play one role. If all you do is be trustworthy, eventually the other person is going to notice that you're never the one taking the risks. And voila, they no longer trust you.
Thanks, Charlie. Your writings about the myths of trust have been quite helpful to me.
Great addition pointing out the reciprocal nature of trust. One person can be trustworthy as humanly possible, but if the other person isn't willing to take a risk and extend trust, well…not much is going to happen.
I very much relate to myth #6. I feel offended if someone controls me and I hardly ever control others because I firmly believe that people work better If they feel one trusts them. This of course leads to my disbelieve of myths #1-3.
Great insights Brigitte! I like your emphasis on trust requiring courage. It can be scary to put yourself at risk and trust someone else, yet we have to have the emotional courage to do so.

THE EXECUTIVE TEAM
Our chapter at the University of Southern California believes that access to medical supplies will improve health equity and sustainability both in Los Angeles and on a global scale. We reallocate unused products to communities in need by creating a symbiotic network between suppliers and nonprofit collaborators.
The USC chapter was founded in 2020 and has grown to a team of over 24 passionate students who are dedicated to fulfilling the mission of the organization and bridging health inequity gaps in the Greater Los Angeles area and abroad. Since our founding, the USC chapter has reallocated over $120,000 worth of N95 masks and isolation gowns in the peak of the pandemic from a corporate donor to 8 nonprofits including Share-A-Meal, Not Just Tourists, LavaMaeX, and Healing Hearts Across Borders. This shipment weighed over 650 pounds and included approximately 17,700 N95 masks and 800 sterile isolation gowns. These supplies have primarily benefited unhoused individuals residing in Los Angeles, volunteers for these organizations, and clinics in Mexico.

Majoring in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
I started Blueprints For Pangaea at USC because I saw how much the South Central community was struggling during the pandemic. Los Angeles is a sprawling city with millions of people and various underserved communities. I know that barriers to healthcare, especially now, can be fatal. Providing access to much-needed medical resources will save lives and save the environment, and I am so grateful to play a tiny role in changing our community for the better. Blueprints For Pangaea has taught me how to apply my knowledge and skills in a medical setting as I hope to pursue a career in medicine following graduation. In particular, I hope to become a gerontologist, focusing on the science of aging and the progression of chronic diseases throughout life.
Gaveen Godage
VP - Development
Majoring in Human Biology
I joined Blueprints For Pangaea because I believe that it is imperative to provide equal healthcare and medical service to those living in under-resourced communities across the globe. Working for Blueprints for Pangaea is a way for me to promote global humanity and take action towards a mission that directly coincides with my personal values. In the future, I aspire to be a doctor that not only fosters compassionate face-to-face patient interactions but also maximizes the back-end productivity of healthcare. I also hope to take my skills overseas and provide care in third-world countries. The global exposure and healthcare knowledge gained through Blueprints for Pangaea will undeniably aid me during my future ambitions.

I joined B4P as a way to make a tangible, real-life impact in the health equity space. I am passionate about equitable healthcare access, especially as related to international medicine and infrastructure; being able to help B4P with its mission in supply equity is personally fulfilling. My career aspirations are being a physician in international medicine, but also using these experiences to reform health policy and infrastructure in developing countries. Blueprints and medical supply reallocation not only provides a window to health equity, but also infrastructural issues within healthcare accessibility.

I was initially drawn to B4P's mission statement because of my personal ties to communities in the country of Myanmar, where medical supplies are severely lacking. B4P presented a unique opportunity to address the ubiquitous issue of health inequity, both locally and globally, alongside a group of people with high levels of passion, motivation, and genuine concern. Through working with Blueprints in order to fulfill the goals embodied by its vision, I look forward to making a direct impact in the lives of people who would benefit greatly from access to the basic right of healthcare.
Director - Human Resources
Majoring in Human Biology, Minor: Health Policy
It has always been a belief of mine that all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic status, should have access to healthcare, whether it be a doctor or medical resources. Though the health policy minor, I was exposed to the various issues our current healthcare system has with resource inefficiency and wasteful spending. Joining up with Blueprint For Pangaea gave me a chance to combat these issues that plague our current healthcare system and bring necessary care to those in underprivileged communities. After graduating, I hope to enter the field of hospital administration and health policy to work on projects that help improve the resource and cost efficiency of the current healthcare system, as well as ensure that underprivileged communities have access to quality healthcare. Further down the line, I hope to become a dermatologist, so I would be able to help those who have suffered from skin conditions as I have as a child.

According to Mikrofonnews agency (MHA), thousands of people are to hold fresh round of demonstrations in Tunisia on Friday, after at least 300 of the demonstrators were arrested by anti-riot police on Thursday night.
Police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the demonstrators who are protesting high prices and economic situation of the country. Hundreds of security forces and army soldiers are deployed to the governmental institutions and public places to protect the areas from the angry protesters.
Usef Shahid, Tunisian Prime Minister has condemned violations made by protesters during the demonstrations, saying they are trying to weaken the government. Tunisia, the capital, is scene of large protests in the past several days against the rising prices and the poor economy system in the African country.
The protests which was peaceful, turned to violent and at least 600 people are arrested during the demonstrations so far. Tunisian government accuses demonstrators of setting ablaze the police vehicles, attacking on markets and blocking the roads. Demonstrators also accuse security forces of acting violently during the peaceful demonstrations.

Post Interview - Adrian Furness
Adrian Furness sat down with Will Kirkman of Post Magazine to discuss his new appointment
(Reproduced with permission from Insurance Post)
Adrian Furness was recently appointed claims and operations director, having previously held the role of claims director. He sat down with Post's Will Kirkman to discuss his new appointment.
How did you get to where you are?
I believe that you don't choose to come into insurance. I went through a load of roles as a graduate trainee before ending up with Endsleigh. The reason I chose that company was that it was a little bit different: there was a younger feel and it seemed to have a different way of doing things to most of the traditional industry.
It was a really good grounding as an organisation and culture at the time. After that, I ended up with a French company called AGF. It was trying to make big noises in the UK.
Again, it was an interesting time and it showed me a different side of the industry and a different way of doing things. I'd gone from a family feel organisation to learning how to operate in a very large company that was losing money. So I learned how not to lose money at AGF. I then ended up with Provident, and became claims director at Covéa in 2012.
What new responsibilities are you taking on in the new role?
I'm claims and operations director, which in most organisational structures is the chief operating officer role. I've retained responsibilities for all aspects of claims and customer service management across personal and commercial lines. But I'm now also responsible for all people and process operations, and IT and technology.
I look at the market we're in and I see insurance as way behind the curve. And I see where customers are going. I look at my kids and see what they're doing with technology, and then I look at what insurance companies are doing and it's frightening.
When I started out years ago, the technology we had at work was far greater than what we had at home. Now it's the other way around. I've got a nine-year-old using better technology than an insurance company would do. It's got to change. One of the things I want to do is start that change. I really want to get us at the forefront of this. I really want us to interact with customers in a different way, and I want customers to take ownership of the whole process. It's a real passion of mine.
It's really important for a company like Covéa. You look at the industry and you've got the big insurance tankers, who have lots of advantages, but aren't flexible. We've always been a speed boat that can get to the places they can't get to. Some of the big tankers are starting to launch their own speed boats; we're seeing Aviva Lab and things like that. We've got an advantage, and we can do this quicker and more effectively than the tankers can do, if we get this right.
What are your thoughts on the Ogden discount rate change?
I understand the argument that there's a danger that seriously injured people need a better rate. Is it any surprise that the government has taken action? No. But the decision of that negative rate is a knee-jerk reaction. It's out of the blue, without proper consultation. The reality is, premiums will go up again. Insurers need to be honest and say that premiums will go up from this, and that it's the customers who will end up paying for this.
The rate change will push premiums up disproportionately for young drivers, and it will lead to them being priced out of the market. That will lead to uninsured drivers and all sorts of societal problems. Should there be a change? Probably. Should there have been a better consultation process? Certainly. Are there other methodologies they could look at? Absolutely.
Who's the loser from this? It won't be the insurer's profits. Motor insurance is not profitable generally; every single penny will be passed on to the customer.
What can be done to encourage diversity?
We signed up to the Women in Finance Charter. When you look at our lower end it's a 50/50 mix, we've got loads of women coming through. We recruit young and bring that into our culture. However, at the top end, that funnel dies down. So for us it's about how we create those opportunities.
Twenty years ago, we put a graduate recruitment programme in place. We went in a bit gingerly at first. We partnered with a local college in Halifax, and expected initially to have quite a high dropout rate but that we might have one or two successes. But it's been brilliant. The quality of the people coming in is really high.
They're a bit younger, and they come from different backgrounds, but their commitment and passion is amazing. We're extending it even more now into Reading. The dropout rates are really low, and we take a lot onto full-time positions.
I'd encourage anyone to look at different options for recruitment. It really opens your eyes.
We get school kids in to talk about our product wordings. When we talk about premiums and excess, not everyone understands those terms. We have these school kids asking 'Why don't you just say price?' and it's a good point. That's what the apprentices bring in as well. They're challenging us all the time.

I�m sure you�re reading all over the Internet that content is one of the most important components of building your business, and in my opinion I agree that writing an article and posting it throughout the Internet is an essential way to finding your desired targeted traffic.
If you have never written business articles before, you have to remember key things to make sure your article is a success, and attracts the readers searching for your information. Take the approach of writing one article at a time, and don�t worry about how many you need to create to get the exposure. Just like developing a business plan, you want to ensure that you do all your necessary research, compile it in an easy to read format that you know will allow your readers to follow without losing the message half way through!
I read so many business articles that lose me by the second paragraph, because I notice their intentions are to promote their business, and not offer any valuable information that I�m seeking to help me. This may be done intentionally, but sometimes I truly feel these writers are trying to do too much in such little time, and they want to produce and send out as much as they can at one time, not realizing that they are compromising the quality of their article and the message they want to get out to the readers.
If you�re in business for a short-term, that�s fine, you can produce useless content and spread it throughout the Internet. However, in my opinion, I would rather take the time and create an article that when someone reads it, they will say that it helped them in some way.
Your expertise, and if you�re promoting a web site business can be jeopardized very quickly, so don�t ever underestimate the people reading your article. They have vast knowledge already, they do their research, but sometimes they need that little bit of information to get them back on track, and if you can provide them the information they�re looking for, your one article will be on its way to being very successful!
Once you�ve finally developed that keyword rich, informative article explaining how your business products can help make people�s lives so much better, you will also notice that your well-written business articles will be quickly picked up by some of the top ezine and content publishers.
When you take the time to create an article that many readers will take your information and use it to help them better their lives, you will have achieved something that many bad article writers don�t, and that�s business authority, and respect. In the long run if you stick to developing more value-based articles rather than a large volume of badly written articles, you will surely build a successful foundation for your business for many years to come!
