So you want to join the health care profession but you're not quite sure where to start. Dr. Juli Daniels, CCRN reports on endonurse.com five factors that you should consider when choosing a school to further your education.
1. Find the right program to meet your career goals – Daniels explains that, "The first thing to do is to decide on what level of nursing you would like to start." Do you want to be an Vocational Nursing , RN or get your BSN? Should you become a Pharmacy Technician or Medical Assisting ? There are so many options, how much time and money do you want to invest before you start your new career?
3. Find a School with a Good Reputation – "First and foremost, you should consider their accreditation. There are typically two forms of accreditation—regional and national. Regional accreditation is held by institutions such as the University of Florida, Northwestern University, and the University of Minnesota, and while credit transfer is always determined by the accepting institution, credits from one regionally accredited college are more likely to transfer to another regionally accredited institution. National accreditation is typically held by career colleges," Daniels explains. The second factor to consider is whether or not the school is approved by the nursing board in the state in which it is located. Each state has its own nursing board website for you to confirm whether the school is legitimate. Finally, get the opinion of others in the field. If you want to work at hospitals in your area and they have had negative contact with the school or graduates from the school you are planning on attending, that is obviously a bad sign. As those who know who are already working in the position you want about where they earned their certification.
4. Interact With the Faculty – You're going to be spending a lot of time with these instructors. What is their experience in the field? Are they passionate about teaching?
If you are looking for a quality school to get you started in the health care industry in the San Francisco Bay Area, Santa Clara or Sacramento, consider Unitek College. They can help you reach your goals and have the reputation, flexibility and strong faculty that will get you to where you want to be.
It is a perfect opportunity for single mothers to go to schooling for nursing. There is such a big demand right now you are most certain to get a job.

"Long-Term Pavement Performance Indicators for Failed Materials" by Jaehyun Park, Chenxi Yuan et al.
State Transportation Agencies (STAs) use quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) specifications to guide the testing and inspection of road pavement construction. Although failed materials of pavement rarely occur in practice, it is critical to have a sound decision framework to assist in making data-driven, informed decisions regarding failed materials because such decisions have profound impacts on the long-term performance of the pavement and the operation and maintenance costs of the responsible highway agencies.
A performance-related specification (PRS) is a quality acceptance (QA) specification that specifies the acceptable levels of key acceptance quality characteristics (AQCs) that are directly related to fundamental engineering properties, which in turn, determine the long-term performance of the constructed end products. Two PRS tools, PaveSpec for Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP) and Quality Related Specification Software (QRSS) for QC/QA Hot Mixed Asphalt (HMA) pavement, were investigated in this study to develop decision frameworks for PCCP and HMA pavement to assist the decision-making regarding failed materials at INDOT. A large number of simulations of various scenarios in the context of INDOT pavement construction were conducted to fully develop and implement the decision framework.
For PCCP, the newly developed decision framework based on PaveSpec was validated using data from an INDOT construction project. The framework is readily implementable to assist INDOT in making informed decision regarding failed materials for PCCP. For QC/QA pavement, it was found that QRSS is not an appropriate PRS tool to estimate the long-term performance because of its limitations, the misalignment between QRSS process and INDOT practice, and erroneous simulation results.


Snow College was founded in 1888 as the Sanpete Stake Academy by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In 1900 it was renamed Snow Academy in honor of Lorenzo Snow, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and his cousin Erastus, who was instrumental in settling the Sanpete Valley.
The institution went through three more name changes in a seven-year period. In 1917, the academy era ended and the school became Snow Normal College. In 1922, officials renamed the school Snow Junior College only to change it one year later to Snow College. In 1931, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints divested itself of Snow College and it became a state supported institution.
Located in Ephraim in the beautiful mountain-rimmed Sanpete valleys of central Utah just south of Provo, Snow College has been the right place for many students since its founding by Mormon pioneers in 1888. Every year, over 5,000 students attend Snow College with aims to transfer to four-year institutions or enter the workforce after earning a Bachelor of Music degree, an Associates degree, or one of the many certificates offered at the college.
Because of the small size of Snow's student body, students receive more personal attention and specialized help from professors and advisors. The result is Snow students are recruited and succeed better at Utah's 4-year institutions more than any other junior college in the state.

Men and Women Perform Well on the Road
EUGENE -- BYU came away with the two top finishers at the Bill Dellinger Invitational on Friday, hosted by the University of Oregon. After sitting out of their previous meets, both Josh Rohatinsky and Kassi Andersen captured the top spots, leading their teams to third and second place, respectively. Both had previously placed first at the BYU Autumn Classic.
Andersen led the No. 6 women's team to a total score of 55 points in the 6k run, along with Amy Fowler (5), Amber Duffin (9), Breanne Sandberg (14) and Anne Heiner (26).
"I felt good," said Andersen. "It was perfect conditions and decent competition. It's just good to get experience and race people. I just feel that at each race if I get a little better, I'll know my strengths and what I need to improve on."
Both Sandberg and Heiner competed in their first race of the season. Coach Patrick Shane was impressed with the effort put forth by his runners.
"We had some good performances," said Shane. "Out top four were exceptional. We still haven't put it all together yet. We're getting all five to nail it."
The Cougars fell to the University of Arkansas' 35 points.
The BYU men's team scored 102 points behind the University of Oregon (47) and the University of Portland (89) in the 8k race.
The No. 11 Cougars were led by Rohatinsky, with his time of 22:58.37. Behind him was Chandler Goodwin (12). Jacob Gustafsson (25), Dustin Bybee (30) and Kyle Perry (34).
"Rohatinsky had an incredible race," said head coach Ed Eyestone. "He showed that he definitely is one of the contenders for national championship honors."
Eyestone was pleased with the overall gap between the third and seventh man on the team, and felt that the team could have been more successful had they run together as a group
"As a team it was a solid performance," said Eyestone. "Chandler ran about where he should have. Gustafsson did a very good job with his opening meet. I was very pleased with his performance."
Up next for the women will be a trip to Walt Disney World on Oct. 7, while the men will prepare for Pre-Nationals on Oct. 14.

BYU Travels to Oregon Invitational
PROVO -- Both the men's and women's cross country teams will travel to the Bill Dellinger Invitational on Friday Sept. 29. Hosting its first home meet since 1998, the University of Oregon looks forward to welcoming 24 collegiate teams from 10 conferences.
The No. 11 ranked men are heading to Oregon after taking a week off. Prior to that they placed first in the Sacramento State Invitational with Chandler Goodwin leading the team to a perfect score.
BYU will race against six teams that placed top-30 in the 2005 NCAA Cross Country Championships, including Texas and Portland.
"This should be a very good test for us," said head coach Ed Eyestone. "This will be our first real chance to compete against top 10 teams. We can run with Texas and we can run with Portland. I think that we can move up in the rankings."
Josh Rohatinsky will be competing for the first time since winning the BYU Autumn Classic on Sept. 9. Coach Eyestone is confident that he will perform well.
"I think that Josh has a very good chance to win the whole thing," said Eyestone.
The women are coming off a second place finish at the Great American Invitational. They will be racing against fellow top 10 ranked teams Duke and Arkansas. Head coach Patrick Shane is excited to see how his team will fare against the competition.
"This will be the best competition we have had all year," said Shane. "It will also be the best competition we will see until Pre-Nationals. This race will allow us to run what appears to be our top five for the first time all year. It will reveal the true nature of our team to some extent."
Kassi Andersen will compete after sitting out of the Great American Invitational. Along with her, Breanne Sandberg and Amber Duffin will also participate.
Shane believes that this meet will prepare the team for upcoming races, such as the MWC Championships and NCAA competition.
"We need to have three or four people sitting behind the top five, ready to move into the top five if necessary," said Shane. "I'm excited to line up a great team against some great competition. We have potential to have a really great team."
The women's 6,000-meter race will begin at 5:20 p.m. PDT and the men's 8,000-meter race will follow at 6 p.m.

Left-wing New York Times Had Special Access To Left-wing Facebook Data Without Users Knowledge
Joe Simonson | Media Reporter
The New York Times was one of the companies that had access to private user data from Facebook, a key point brushed over in a report released by the paper.
While the Tuesday bombshell focused on how the information from Facebook was mainly shared with major tech companies like Microsoft, Amazon and Spotify, The Times was one of nine media organizations that also obtained special access to things like a users' friends lists.
Disclosing such information violated Facebook's normal privacy rules and was meant to help companies better target consumers, while raising internal advertising revenues, according to the report.
For companies like The Times and Netflix, access to the data of 2.2 billion people could be a goldmine.
Others, like Spotify, even had the ability to read a Facebook user's private messages between friends, while tech giants like Yahoo could "view streams of friends' posts as recently as this summer," according to the report. Facebook had claimed it ceased such practices years ago. (RELATED: Facebook and Instagram Campus Evacuated Following Bomb Threat)
The Times denied it was "obtaining any data" from Facebook in a statement to its own paper, and offered the following statement to The Daily Caller News Foundation in an email.
"Between September 2008 and mid 2011, The Times offered a feature called TimesPeople that had some integration with Facebook. Those who opted-in could see what Times stories their friends were recommending. Data access granted through that integration is not something we've used since the feature was shuttered in 2011. We were not even aware of the continued access. We are committed to the privacy of our readers and protection of their personal data," a spokesperson said.

As traditional news outlets like The Times continue transitioning into digital media companies, this report raises alarming questions about their future relationship with tech giants like Facebook. While reporters have remained diligent in policing certain conduct by Silicon Valley, the business side of news outlets still have access to tremendous information.
Moreover, if media companies like The Times are potentially being granted special access to things like private Facebook messages, are reporters privy to this kind of information?
To TheDCNF's knowledge, The Times does not have a formal policy on whether its journalists can peruse the extraordinary breadth of information given by social media companies to its business and advertising departments.

Митрополи́т Ле́в (в миру Никола́й Льво́вич Церпи́цкий; род. 13 апреля 1946, село Залужье, Столбцовский район, Минская область) — епископ Русской православной церкви; митрополит Новгородский и Старорусский, глава Новгородской митрополии. Почётный гражданин Великого Новгорода (2004).

Тезоименитство — 18 февраля / 3 марта (святителя Льва, Папы Римского).

Биография
Родился 13 апреля 1946 года в селе Залужье Столбцовского района Минской области Белоруссии в семье священника Льва Церпицкого (1916—1972). Его дед и младший брат тоже были священниками.

По окончании средней школы с 1966 по 1969 год служил в рядах Советской армии.

В 1969 году поступил в Ленинградскую духовную семинарию.

28 марта 1971 года митрополитом Ленинградским и Новгородским Никодимом (Ротовым) был пострижен в монашество с именем Лев в честь святителя Льва, папы римского. 7 апреля возведён в сан иеродиакона, 20 апреля — в сан иеромонах.

В 1972—1975 годах — личный секретарь митрополита Никодима (Ротова). Иногда по два раза в день летал с документами между Москвой и Ленинградом, за что, по воспоминаниям архимандрита Августина (Никитина), получил прозвище «аэромонах».

В 1975 году окончил Ленинградскую духовную академию со степенью кандидата богословия (тема кандидатской работы: «Постановление II Ватиканского Собора "Конституция о богослужении"»).

В 1975—1978 годы проходил богословский курс в Папском Григорианском университете в Риме.

8 августа 1978 года возведён в сан архимандрита и в том же месяце в составе делегации Русской православной церкви присутствовал на погребении папы римского Павла VI, а в сентябре — на интронизации папы Иоанна Павла I. В его присутствии на приёме у новоизбранного папы скончался глава делегации митрополит Никодим (Ротов).

С 14 октября 1978 года указом митрополита Ленинградского и Новгородского Антония (Мельникова) — настоятель Крестовоздвиженского собора в Петрозаводске и благочинный храмов Олонецкой епархии. Одновременно читал курс лекций по сравнительному богословию в Ленинградской духовной семинарии.

С октября 1980 года — настоятель Воскресенского храма в Рабате (Марокко). С 1981 по ноябрь 1982 года являлся председателем Совета церквей Марокко.

В 1982—1983 годах работал в отделе внешних церковных сношений Московского патриархата в Москве.

С 13 октября 1983 по 31 октября 1987 года — настоятель Спасо-Преображенского собора в Выборге.

Архиерей

10 сентября 1987 года решением Священного синода Русской православной церкви избран епископом Ташкентским и Среднеазиатским. 17 октября по окончании Всенощного бдения в Иоанно-Богословском храме Ленинградских духовных школ наречён во епископа Ташкенского и Среднеазиатского. Наречение совершили митрополит Ленинградский и Новгородский Алексий (Ридигер), митрополит Новосибирский и Барнаульский Гедеон (Докукин), архиепископ Смоленский и Вяземский Кирилл (Гундяев), епископ Брюссельский и Бельгийский Симон (Ишунин) и епископ Тихвинский Прокл (Хазов). 1 ноября в Троицком соборе Александро-Невской лавры хиротонисан во епископа Ташкентского и Среднеазиатского. Хиротонию совершили архиереи, участвовавшими в наречении, а также митрополит Крутицкий и Коломенский Ювеналий (Поярков).

Его назначение на кафедру совпало с периодом послаблений со стороны государства. Благодаря усилиям епископа Льва были возрождены четыре храма из числа закрытых, появилась возможность расширения церковной деятельности.

20 июля 1990 года переведён на возрождённую Новгородскую и Старорусскую епархию.

После воссоздания епархии пригласил в неё священников из Санкт-Петербурга.

В дни ГКЧП в 1991 году он организовал в Кремле при стечении громадных толп народа молебен перед иконой Знамения Божией Матери за избавление от опасности возврата власти безбожников.

В 1992 году основал газету «София» и стал её главным редактором. В 1996 году издание преобразовано в ежеквартальный журнал с таким же названием.

В 1992 году возглавил оргкомитет Арсениевских чтений в память о митрополите Новгородском Арсении (Стадницком). Первые чтения состоялись в 1993 году.

Приоритетами деятельности Новгородской епархии являются сотрудничество с университетом, развитие православного студенческого движения, активная социальная работа и организация воскресных школ и библиотек в приходах.

25 февраля 1995 года возведён в сан архиепископа.

Будучи сторонником развития межрелигиозного диалога, в июне 1996 года присутствовал на церемонии открытия католического храма Петра и Павла в Великом Новгороде.

С 11 июля 1997 года — член президиума Всероссийского общества охраны памятников истории и культуры.

19 июля 2000 года постановлением Священного синода включён в паломническую группу Русской православной церкви, направленную на Святую гору Афон в период с 4 по 11 августа 2000 года.

14 октября 2004 года мэр Великого Новгорода Николай Гражданкин вручил архиепископу регалии «Почётного гражданина Великого Новгорода».

20 апреля 2005 года назначен ректором вновь открытого Новгородского духовного училища.

11 апреля 2008 года вошёл в организационный комитет по подготовке и проведению в Великом Новгороде с 18 по 22 июня 2008 года выставки «Православная Русь».

Emphasize that releases can be more often than once a sprint! – Make a suggestion to improve ScrumGuides.org.
Emphasize that releases can be more often than once a sprint!
I always encounter teams that practice Sprints as mini-waterfalls, with software being integrated and made release-ready only at the end of the Sprint, so that the increment is ready for the Sprint Review. They feel this is what Scrum asks for as this is what Scrum Guide describes. What I would like to see underscored in the next edition is that making releasable software available at the end of the sprint is just a minimal requirement and having it integrated & tested more often is encouraged even though not required.
Resolved in Nov 2017 release.
I think shorter sprints, which I find many teams naturally adopt as they learn/improve, accomplishes much the same thing with the added benefits of further reducing context switching and increasing swarming.
Interestingly, I think that the Scrum Guide already requires multiple increments per Sprint.
This is an advanced concept introduced by Jeff Sutherland in 2005 when he wrote about Type A, B and C scrum. James Coplein wrote an excellent piece on this for the Scrum Alliance and I urge you all to read these works.
To get to this level of delivery (Type C - Continuous) you need to have a team that has core scrum part of their dna. That means intuitively delivering the outcomes of the Core Frame as outlined in the ScrumGuide. Do not think this is performing the rituals, this is delivering on commitments.
If you have not experienced a Type C scrum, then this may not make sense to you, unless you have tried to take a team to Type C and they were not ready.
Would someone care to describe how mid-sprint releases work with sprint reviews? It would seem that this would interfere with the inspect and adapt loop.
I understand the concern with teams doing "mini-waterfall", but I am not sure that mid-sprint releases are the appropriate solution. I also recognize that many teams need to go through the mini-waterfall approach before getting to a more continuous flow model.
@Andy. Are you saying that you want to encourage teams that meet the Definition of Done continuously rather than at the end of a Sprint? I agree with that but consider it as a best practice.
As for your proposal. Please note the word "coherent" in the Scrum Guide: "The selected Product Backlog items deliver one coherent function, which can be the Sprint Goal."
If I follow your thinking correct, then you suggestion implies multiple Sprint Goals per Sprint.
I agree with the sentiment, the trick is to emphasize it without suggesting that it "should" be that way. I think some clarification of the current language might help people see that Scrum only requires that you have a PRI(Pot Releasable Increment) at the end of the sprint, AT THE LEAST, but you can do it more often than that if you like.
If a team seems to be capable of releasing more than one increment during a sprint, maybe shorter sprint durations should be set.
I disagree with this suggestion for two reasons. First, there is nothing in the scrum guide forbidding you from releasing as often as you want to. It's a guide, not a set of rules. Second, the words "software" and "program" do not appear in the Scrum Guide and never should. I just presented Scrum to my company yesterday and someone asked if it could be applied to other industries. I replied with a smiling "Yes!"
BTW, I suggest embracing the idea that sprints are mini waterfalls. At some level, everything we do is a mini waterfall and there's nothing wrong with that. I feel it's a fact of life.
I think that if we start including "encouraged even though not required" items in the Scrum Guide, we would end up with a huge methodology document instead of a spare, just-enough description of an important framework. I don't think that including this is such a good idea. If it's in the Scrum Guide, it should be a required part of the definition of Scrum.


Porth Clais is a pretty little harbour on the south-western tip of the St David's Peninsula. Once a trading port alive with industry, nowadays it's a popular spot for kayakers, small boat owners and captivating coastal walks.
The harbour itself was built in the 12th century to serve the city of St David's and proved to be a bustling port, with ships importing and exporting goods for the coastal communities. Timber, grain, limestone and coal were among the items traded, with the latter two fuelling the onshore lime kilns and nearby gas works.
You can still see the lime kilns on either side of the harbour, but all that remains of the gas works is the former pump room, which is now home to our refreshments kiosk.
Once you've explored the industrial heritage of Porth Clais, make the most of its seaside location. Put on your walking boots and enjoy our circular route around the Treginnis Peninsula or just take a more leisurely stroll along the water's edge.
Kids will love joining in with our crab catching events along the harbour wall – we host sessions throughout the summer holidays. Or you could take to the water and go kayaking with one of the local activity operators.
The rocky slabs just east of the harbour mouth are also a great place for climbing groups and outdoor adventure.
The harbour and land came into National Trust ownership in 1940.
The National Trust car park is on the site of the former gas works, which were demolished in the late 1960s.
The first record of trade from Porth Clais is found in a 1385 account of building works at St David's Cathedral.
The old harbour wall is believed to have been constructed by the Romans.
Lime from Porth Clais was likely to have been used for agriculture to neutralise acidic soil and improve crop growth.

Subsidized Jobs: Providing Paid Employme...
POLICY FUTURES
Subsidized Jobs: Providing Paid Employment Opportunities When the Labor Market Fails
| By LaDonna Pavetti, Ph.D.
In the very tight labor market of the late 1990s, employment among some of the most disadvantaged individuals reached levels never seen before. For example, of working-age never-married mothers with a high school education or less, 76 percent worked in 2000, up from 51 percent in 1992. But even then, labor demand was not sufficient for everyone in the labor force to find work — almost one-quarter of this group did not work at all during the year even though many of them faced significant pressure from welfare agencies to do so. A large-scale national subsidized employment program — in which the government creates jobs and pays the wages of individuals who are unable to find work in the regular paid labor market — may offer the best opportunity for filling this gap. The recent experience of states implementing subsidized jobs programs with funding from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Emergency Fund (TANF EF) demonstrates that, with adequate funding, states are capable of operating such programs and have the ability to get them up and running quickly. A recent study of several of the TANF EF subsidized employment programs provides evidence that these programs increased employment and earnings not only while individuals worked in a subsidized job but also after the program ended.
We also know from recent experience that these programs can be operated at a reasonable cost, offering a solution that could provide greater benefits than costs over the long term. Assuming an average cost of $10,000 per subsidized job, an investment of $1 billion per year could cover the creation of about 100,000 subsidized jobs each lasting an average of six months and paying about $10 per hour. Under the TANF EF, some states provided subsidized jobs at much lower cost, so a $1 billion investment could potentially create even more subsidized placements. (See Appendix Table 1.) Funds from the regular TANF Contingency Fund, which was created in 1996 to provide extra funds to states during times of economic need and is currently funded at $612 million per year, and the Work Opportunity Tax Credit, which offsets about $1 billion in taxes for businesses that hire individuals deemed hard to employ, could potentially be redirected to offset the costs of such an initiative.
In general, full employment has been the exception rather than the rule in the U.S. economy. Thus, while the current economic situation provides clear evidence for why a subsidized jobs program is needed now, it would be a mistake to think that the benefits of such a program could be realized only during times of exceptionally high and sustained unemployment. Instead, what is needed is a program that expands when the economy is weak and contracts when labor demand is stronger. The current labor force participation rate and the long-term unemployment rate show how much the sluggish economy has taken its toll on American workers. In December 2013, the labor force participation rate was just 62.8 percent, the lowest it has been since 1978, and nearly two-fifths of the unemployed — 3.9 million people — had been looking for work for 27 weeks or longer, a level not seen since the 1940s. Given the current state of the economy, it is likely that many people will be out of work for a long time to come. But even as the economy strengthens, some groups will continue to fare poorly without some additional assistance. These groups include individuals with limited education and work experience, young people making the transition to adulthood, racial and ethnic minorities (especially young African American men), individuals with disabilities, and individuals with a criminal record, among others. A subsidized jobs program could provide paid work opportunities for these individuals when their attempts at finding employment in the regular paid labor market fail, as they often do.
Subsidized jobs programs share three characteristics that make them an attractive component of any agenda to reach full employment. First, subsidized jobs provide a strategy for increasing employment quickly. Second, with proper targeting, the benefits will accrue to the individuals who are least likely to find employment on their own and may increase the chances of these persons of finding unsubsidized employment when the subsidy ends. Third, a federally funded, large-scale subsidized employment program can provide a boost to local economies.

Hey there, I want to create a blog but I don't have a set theme… I enjoy sewing, cooking, self help, child care, pet care and wood working. Is this too many things to have on one blog? Or should i focus on a few things?
Hi Carrie, good question. Basically every bit of content online is now on a "blog". So blogs are no longer journals of what's happening in your life (though that's part of it), but they are now informational content!
So if you search for "how to make peach cobbler" the recipe you click on is a blog, if you're on Pinterest and click on an article, you are reading that information on a blog.
For me, about 40% of my traffic comes from direct traffic from Google searches, 40% comes from Pinterest, and the rest comes from emails I send out, or Facebook.
About 30% of my total traffic is returning readers, and the rest are new visitors.
I definitely think starting a blog is still worth it! I have 4 active blogs across very different niches and they are all doing really well!

Have You Filled Your Tank Lately?
· October 20, 2018
The other day, a group of writer friends and I were talking. It seems for weeks now, none of us have felt very motivated. We're not behaving like our usual prolific, proactive, hard-working selves. That's not to say we're missing deadlines or shrugging off obligations – Heaven forbid – but we haven't felt especially ambitious or creative. One writer said she heard it might have to do with astrological changes, another wondered if recent political tensions have zapped our energy, another said she is sensing a general melancholy in the world that might be touching all of us.
"All I want to do is sit around and read," I admitted, knowing full well that's not an option, but wishing for it anyway. All my friends nodded. "Yes! Me too," they said.
Then one guy who'd been kind of quiet piped up. "I don't think it's necessarily bad that we're all moving at a slower place right now," he said. "I think maybe we're just filling our tanks. You gotta do that sometimes so you can keep going."
Of course, filling our tanks! That's what we're doing. We've all been working so hard for so long, and many days we're not even sure where it's getting us. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and artists are still struggling to figure out how to make a living. Still.
We've traveled a lot of miles on our respective journeys and probably been driving on fumes far longer than we should have. Maybe it's just time to refill our tanks.
"I don't see anything wrong with reading all day," my friend continued. "I mean, we're writers, we take inspiration from reading. Reading good work can be motivating."
Oh, thank you for saying that, I thought. He was right of course. There's a time to create and a time to appreciate the creations of others, the beauty they bring to the world. There's a time to just sit back and notice what other people can teach us and let other artists remind us why this work matters. There's a time to let other people do the driving.
I know these writers and I know myself. We'll be back up to full speed soon, speeding down our individual highways at 100 miles an hour. But sometimes you gotta hit the brakes and pull off at a rest area. Maybe keep a good book in the car, in case you wind up doing just that.

Caste-based atrocities and discriminations must be abolished: A response to Justice Markandey Katju
By Vicky Nandgaye
This article is in response to the opinion expressed by Justice Markandey Katju, retired judge from the Supreme Court in 2011, titled 'All caste-based reservations must be abolished' published in The Week. Katju argued that SCs/OBCs should demand for cessation of all caste-based reservations. About OBC reservation, former justice argued that OBCs are not backward today and they were prior to independence, therefore there should be discontinuation of reservation for them. There is no mention of how OBCs are no more backward. One can visibly see that absence of references and lack of data while making such a loaded argument. However, according to the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) report, 42 per cent of the OBCs in rural India and 35 per cent in urban India possess ration cards, which indicated financial condition of the group.
An article published in Economic and Political Weekly (EPW) in 2010 on how an individual's participation in higher education is dependent on her religious affiliations, socio-economic status and demographic characteristics, examines that OBCs hardly get entry in higher education since 2006 because of the Constitution (93rd Amendment) Act in 2006. In addition, the Central Education (Reservation in Admission) Act of 2006 provides for the reservation of students belonging to the SCs, STs and OBCs (Gudavarthy, 2012). Though Article 16 Indian Constitution safeguards the rights of marginalised sections of the society for equality of opportunity in matters of public employment, yet the groups need to wait for the Act that can secure their rights in employment and education.
Mr. Katju is against any kind of reservations for Scheduled Caste though he admitted that SCs are discriminated at the hands of upper castes and even OBCs. He advocated for some facilities for poor children from every caste. An article published in Economic and Political Weekly (EPW) in 2010 by Vani K Borooah argued that SCs are facing problems at its roots; it means they are not receiving meaningful education at schools. IITs, IIMs and other National important institutions are beyond the pale of marginalised groups since they are not even part of good schools.
Reservation policy and its aftermaths have been wrongly interpreted in the piece. As we know, in India there is a long historical discourse of backwardness of particular communities due the graded inequality persists among people and in society due to the caste system. Therefore, reservation is used as a tool of protective discrimination. With an objective to bridge this wide gap, an instrument of 'reservation' applied to keep aside some positions and places to ensure an equality of opportunity in employment and education to the disadvantaged community. A very idea of reservation indeed was created with the view of a 'just' based society that characterised equality, liberty, fraternity and more importantly justice that was enshrined by Ambedkar in Indian Constitution. For me, there should be an end of all caste-based discriminations, rapes, atrocities, and honour killings of SCs by the upper castes.
The following are the points made by Mr. Katju followed by discussion on it:
1. As argued, reservation is beneficial to the handful of SC (so reservation should be stopped) - Yes, it is there however, it does not mean that the very idea of reservation should be banned.
2. It creates the psychological barrier among SC youths (so reservation…) - It is very much visible however, the source of it are upper caste students and the system only responsible for it that invariably teases and demotivates SC students. Hence, there must be adequate orientation and mechanisms developed to diagnose such ill mentality, which is deeply rooted among caste-Hindus rather than opposing the policy.
3. "SCs should work hard and compete with upper caste", is again a poor statement passed by the author which reflects the pre-conceived notions of the Author that infer 'SCs are incompetent as compare to upper castes'.
Moreover, furthering the argument of 'Merit', which often advocates, "Merit is in danger". Dr. Sunil Kumar Jangir in his 2013 research published in American Internationa Journal of Research in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences says, "Merit in an elitist society is an amalgam of native endowments and environmental privileges. A child from an advanced class family and that of a backward class family are not 'equals' in any fair sense of the term and it will be unfair to judge them by the same yardstick. The conscience of a civilised society and the dictates of social justice demand that 'merit' and 'equality' are not turned into a fetish and the element of privilege is duly recognized and discounted for when un-equals are made to run the same race."
Thus, 'percentage are just a numbers' and 'merit is a myth'. SCs are not meritorious and Upper castes are! How can mere numbers decide the competency of a person? Is there any empirical research that validates this baseless argument of antagonists of reservation policy?
4. There is an absence of unity between upper castes and SCs only due to reservation in India. Hence, in order to bridge this gap Mr. Katju is asking SCs to join hands with the 'enlightened section' of upper castes.
So, what does author mean the enlightened? Among upper castes who constitute these sections? If they are enlightened then, why not (they) join hands with underprivileged sections of the society for their betterment. Where is this enlighten section? When there are daily atrocities, rapes of dalit women, and discrimination against the community in the name of caste. Does only reservation policy in India perpetuate the caste system in India? Doesn't the author think incidents of atrocities and discriminatory practices inflicted upon Dalits are strengthening the age-old institution (caste) in the country?
Undeniably, the entire piece shows the biases in the very opinions expressed by the 'third generation learner' (born in 1950s) against the 'first generation learner' (born between 1990-20s) from the Scheduled Castes. Flaws in the arguments seem to be favoured to 'stop entry in the premier institutes and employment' for a person whose entire generation has never been exposed to the same. According to the IndiaSpend Analysis of National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) about 422,799 crimes against dalits have been reported between 2006 and 2016. Whereas the crime rate against dalits rose by 25 percent, from 16.3 percent (2006) crimes per 100,000 dalits to 20.3 crimes in 2016 had been reported. The same report found that pending trials over the cases of dalits had risen by 50 percent i.e. 85, 264 (in 2006) to 129,831 (in 2016). Author while raising his views against reservation policy conveniently ignores all the facts, NCRB records that show most crimes against SCs and cases of institutional killings of students like of Rohith Vemula, S. Anitha, S Ritusree, Dr. Payal Tadvi, Fathima Lateef and many more.
Concisely, the ceaseless cold war perpetuated for several decades between the have and the have-not class over a reservation policy executed by the state. It yielded two sections namely antagonist and protagonist of reservation. The arguments from the former have effectively been come to discussion that "reservation demeans merit". In simple words, less meritorious among the reserved categories are selected in preference to the more meritorious among the non-reserved categories. The arguments in favour of 'merit' have always been pointed by merely from the elitist section. It says that education is the key to unlock the doors of development for all sections of society however; antagonists seek to lock the doors by opposing the idea of reservation. Hence, there should be programs run by the state to aware and overcome misconceptions among masses concerning reservation policy.

Q: Как передать значение var Jsp в Controller Spring Моя проблема: я делаю проект "социальная сеть" и сейчас я занимаюсь списком друзей и пользователей. Когда я вывожу список пользователей, я так же вывожу и самого себя. Именно это я и пытаюсь исправить. Теперь к делу.
У меня есть такой блок в jsp. Это страница пользователя. После входа в аккаунт, контроллер передает объект в атрибут ${user}.

        <c:set var = "user" value="${user}"/>
        <c:set var ="userId" value="${user.getId()}"/>   //мне нужно значение этой переменной

            <c:out value="${user.getNickname()}"/>

                Пол: <c:out value="${user.getGender()}" default="Не указано"/>

                Возраст: <c:out value="${user.getAge()}" default="Не указано"/>

                Дата рождения: <c:out value="${user.getBirthday()}" default="Не указано"/>

У меня есть такая кнопка в меню

Друзья

После нажатия на эту кнопку я попадаю на свой контроллер, который должен взять значение переменной userId. (не понимаю как) и вызвать метод, который достанет из бд список пользователей, кроме пользователя, который будет этот список смотреть.
@GetMapping("/friends.html")
public String getUsersList(Model model) {
    String id = String.valueOf(model.getAttribute("user.getId()")); // в этой строке мне нужно как-то достать значение userId
    List<User> userList = userController.getUserList(id); // метод достает всех пользователей, кроме указанного id
    model.addAttribute("user", userList);
    return "friends";
}

Если возможно, хотел бы получить развернутый ответ почему так не работает. Возможно есть более удобные способы это сделать и я просто теряю время, так что мне очень нужен совет. Спасибо

The entry is a work of theater in itself as guests pass through a stunning garden entrance featuring an allée of heroic scaled vases brimming with flowers and floating in beds of floral color, leading to the visual expanse of the dining room and the dance of the fountains beyond. Seven private dining rooms, reminiscent of European opera boxes, are available for added privacy; of these, three are located lakeside with private outdoor terraces.


Note: Devotion taken from last Sunday's sermon on John 15:8-15.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples (John 15:8).
Here is a simple Biblical test of assurance: Am I bearing spiritual fruit so that the Father is glorified in me? If I am bearing this fruit and the Father is glorified in me, then I give evidence that I am truly his disciple.
Some of the Reformation and Puritan Fathers used verses like this in discussions related to assurance of salvation: How do I know that I'm a Christian?
Major premise: Only those who do x are saved.
Minor premise: I do x.
Conclusion: Therefore, I am saved.
Major premise: Those who are saved have an inward confirmation of their salvation by the work of the Holy Spirit.
Minor premise: I have this inward work confirmation of the Holy Spirit.
We see here in this verse and in some of the other teachings in these upper room discourses the Biblical basis for the practical syllogism. But we need to be careful, because we know that such tests can be wrongly used to convey false assurance (cf. Matt 7:21-23). One can say, I must be a Christian, because I pray, I attend services, I read the Bible, I serve others, etc. And it can all be a load of false assurance and works righteousness.


As stress increases, 'learned behaviour' tends to give way to the natural style, so an ENFP will behave more according to type when under greater stress. For example, in a crisis, the ENFP might involve people in brainstorming ideas, be democratic about choosing the solution to use, provide a lot of drive, but try to do too much, make errors of fact, or ignore routine matters that might nevertheless be essential.
Under extreme stress, fatigue or illness, the ENFP's shadow may appear - a negative form of ISTJ. Example characteristics include being pedantic about unimportant details or doing things to excess - e.g.: eating, drinking or exercising. Others may also see you as being uncharacterisically critical of others, and finding fault with almost everything. You may even take charge whilst riding roughshod over other people's feelings. The shadow is part of the unconscious that is often visible to others, onto whom the shadow is projected. An ENFP may therefore readily see these faults in others without recognising it in him/her self.


On this page, you will find out how to properly play McCree. From general playstyle advice, to more specific advice like ultimate usage or combos, we tell you everything we think matters to master your hero.
The other pages of our McCree guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.
McCree has arguably one of the most straightforward playstyles in the game. While McCree can be boiled down to a point-and-shoot hero, his abilities do provide a number of interesting gameplay tactics that McCree players should master. However, there are basics to playing McCree well, that, when mastered, will drastically increase your effectiveness. Although McCree carries combo potential, practicing these Overwatch mechanics will award players with better results than simply using McCree's abilities in the correct ability-chains.
While both of these mechanics may seem obvious, many players forgo practicing these abilities because their McCree play will probably get worse before it gets better. However, if you stick with these rules, and master them one-by-one you will get better at McCree!
As we discussed in the ability section, Fan the Hammer only out damages McCree's primary fire when used on structures that cannot suffer headshots. Therefore, Fan the Hammer should only be used to destroy barriers and other enemy structures, like Symmetra's Teleporter, when every bullet will hit the structure.
However, against heroes, Fan the Hammer is simply a crutch. You may be able to secure a kill with Fan the Hammer, but every time you use the ability to fight heroes, you are training your mind to shoot at the enemy's body rather than their head. This is because you must aim at the heroes' gut to ensure that Fan the Hammer's spread will successfully hit a target. Training your mind to aim at the gut when heroes get close is a bad habit, as scoring headshots is by and large the most effective way to play McCree. Two headshots deal more damage than landing all Fan the Hammer shots, and you still have 4 in the cylinder ready to go. We understand you do not want to let your team down, and at times Fan the Hammer may seem like the best option, but in reality, you are capping your true potential when you use Fan the Hammer in fighting enemy heroes. If you cannot kick the habit while playing competitive matches, we recommend you play free-for-all until you can go 20 matches in a row without using Fan the Hammer.
Although difficult for those who believe they need to line up a shot before using they use their primary fire, never relenting your Peacekeeper shots when taking on an enemy will do two things for you. First, you will realize that the half of a second you have between shots is plenty of time to line up your your next one. Playing McCree at a high level requires that you get off your Peacekeeper shots as quickly as possible. You can not take a shot, move your mouse, than press the fire button again as quickly (or as smoothly) as you can just hold down the trigger and get used to aiming while anticipating the next shot. As McCree, duels happen on a regular basis, where you need every second you can get to stay alive. Keeping your finger on the trigger gets those shots off faster than ever before.
Additionally, using this tactic will not only increase your accuracy, but your ability to flick properly. Trying to shoot once you get your reticle on your enemy often means your enemy is already a move ahead of you by the time you actually pull the trigger. You actually create a more difficult flick for yourself by having to perform two actions (aiming Peacekeeper, firing Peacekeeper). When using a flick in between McCree's shots, you only have to perform one action (aiming Peacekeeper), which helps increase your accuracy once you get the timing down. When practicing this trick, you will miss shots (especially if you have never played this way before) but you will get better with time, and you need to remember that professionals constantly miss shots too. If you want to train, try to use the training ground targets with metal plates. Try to go from one target to the next while holding down the trigger. If you need more practice, create a custom game with only easy Zenyattas on the enemy team and yourself on the other. Use control maps to have the targets bundle together and practice your aim while firing non-stop. Your aim and ability to fire off rounds at a fast pace will increase dramatically.
Although hitting body shots deals damage, high level McCrees should always attempt to get a headshot first before finishing the opponent with a body shot. Landing a headshot early in a duel leads to a number of favorable outcomes. First off, the enemy is likely to get nervous. When attempting to use an ability to close the gap on McCree, their is nothing more intimidating than hearing the "dink" sound that comes with headshots and realizing you are one bullet away from death. Second, scoring a headshot puts the opponent on the defensive. Enemy flankers thrive on infiltrating the enemy backline, and to do so effectively, they need health. When they start out their approach with little health left, their level of aggression significantly lowers, making them an easy target. Last but not least, landing a headshot on an enemy is invigorating for a McCree player, and gives them a boost of energy that typically wins them the duel. For all of the reasons mentioned above, a player should always focus on shooting the head with their first two shots. Scoring a headshot with one of these shots will put you in the driver's seat of the fight, and make your opponents fear you.
Given your abysmal mobility as McCree (Combat Roll is not effective for getting away from enemies), you should attempt to stay in the general vicinity of your teammates. Other offensive heroes like Tracer, Genji, Pharah, and even Soldier: 76, have medium to high mobility that affords them the ability to make a mistake in positioning and get away with it. McCree does not have the same luxury. McCree should try to stay with the team and split to high ground between engagements. After a fire fight, McCree has plenty of time to secure a position on high ground to try his luck with distanced Peacekeeper shots. However, your ability to do this is dependent on the enemies' team composition. If the enemy is running dive, you should be staying with your supports and trying to peel flankers off of your backline. However, if the enemy is running more of a standard composition you should be more free to split from your supports and try to deal damage from high ground. As a general rule of thumb, you never want to be more than 3 seconds away from your supports, as a defensive McCree can work wonders for your skill rating.
If a medium-ranged or prolonged duel use Combat Roll to reload.
If a barrier gets in your way, use Fan the Hammer.
If target ever draws near, use Flashbang to stun and score a headshot.
This is it. This is McCree's offensive combo, defensive combo, and practically how you combo abilities with this character. McCree is much more mechanics based than he is ability based.
To achieve results from Deadeye, the first main rule is to take what you can get. Many players try to hold off on using Deadeye until they can kill three or more enemies. The reality is that obtaining three kills with Deadeye is more likely to be the exception as opposed to the rule. For this reason, players should always secure a kill with Deadeye whenever they can.
Another vital rule of Deadeye is that a player should rarely (if ever) attempt to use McCree's ultimate when his or her team is not around. Deadeye makes McCree extremely vulnerable, and even when using a sneaky position, McCree is still easily countered if the enemy team is not distracted by your team.
Initial positioning is the difference maker between good and bad uses of Deadeye. Since McCree can barely move once lining up his targets, players need to make sure to secure a good position that surveys the battlefield.
If possible, McCree should use high ground when utilizing his ultimate. McCree cannot move quickly while channeling Deadeye, but his character model still drops from one story to another at the same rate of speed. Therefore, McCrees often start a Deadeye while on high ground and step off of the platform while they channel the ability. Then, McCree will start firing his shots off in mid-air, making him a hard target to counter since he is moving at the normal rate of speed while falling.


The split image mechanism divides a target into two separate images: one capable of image upgrade; the other containing application code. By isolating upgrade functionality to a separate image, the application can support over-the-air upgrade without dedicating flash space to network stack and management code.
Single One large image; upgrade not supported.
Split Kernel in slot 0; application in slot 1.
Each setup has its tradeoffs. The Single setup gives you the most flash space, but doesn't allow you to upgrade after manufacturing. The Unified setup allows for a complete failover in case a bad image gets uploaded, but requires a lot of redundancy in each image, limiting the amount of flash available to the application. The Split setup sits somewhere between these two options.
Before exploring the split setup in more detail, it might be helpful to get a basic understanding of the Mynewt boot sequence. The boot process is summarized below.
In the Single setup, there is no boot loader. Instead, the image is placed at address 0. The hardware boots directly into the image code. Upgrade is not possible because there is no boot loader to move an alternate image into place.
In the Unified setup, the boot loader is placed at address 0. At startup, the boot loader arranges for the correct image to be in image slot 0, which may entail swapping the contents of the two image slots. Finally, the boot loader jumps to the image in slot 0.
Network stack for connectivity during upgrade e.g. BLE stack.
Anything else required for image upgrade.
Parts of Mynewt not required for image upgrade.
Second-stage boot loader: it jumps into the application image at start up.
Image upgrade server: the user can upgrade to a new loader + application combo, even if an application image is not currently running.
From the perspective of the boot loader, a loader image is identical to a plain unified image. What makes a loader image different is a change to its start up sequence: rather than starting the Mynewt OS, it jumps to the application image in slot 1 if one is present.
The application we will be building is bleprph. First, we create a target to tie our BSP and application together.
The two syscfg settings disable bluetooth security and keep the code size down.
The full image text size is about 103kB (where 1kB = 1024 bytes). With an image slot size of 110kB, this leaves only about 7kB of flash for additional application code and data. Not good. This is the situation we would be facing if we were using the Unified setup.
The Split setup can go a long way in solving our problem. Our unified bleprph image consists mostly of components that get used during an image upgrade. By using the Split setup, we turn the unified image into two separate images: the loader and the application. The functionality related to image upgrade can be delegated to the loader image, freeing up a significant amount of flash in the application image slot.
Let's create a new target to use with the Split setup. We designate a target as a split target by setting the loader variable. In our example, we are going to use bleprph as the loader, and splitty as the application. bleprph makes sense as a loader because it contains the BLE stack and everything else required for an image upgrade.
The size command shows two sets of output: one for the application, and another for the loader. The addition of the split functionality did make bleprph slightly bigger, but notice how small the application is: 4.5 kB! Where before we only had 7 kB left, now we have 105.5 kB. Furthermore, all the functionality in the loader is available to the application at any time. For example, if your application needs bluetooth functionality, it can use the BLE stack present in the loader instead of containing its own copy.
Finally, let's deploy the split image to our Nordic PCA10028 (nRF51 DK) board. The procedure here is the same as if we were using the Unified setup, i.e., via either the newt load or newt run command.
Two images: This is expected; we deployed both a loader image and an application image.
bootable flag: Notice slot 0's bootable flag is set, while slot 1's is not. This tells us that slot 0 contains a loader and slot 1 contains an application. If an image is bootable, it can be booted directly from the boot loader. Non-bootable images can only be started from a loader image.
flags: Slot 0 is active and confirmed; none of slot 1's flags are set. The active flag indicates that the image is currently running; the confirmed flag indicates that the image will continue to be used on subsequent reboots. Slot 1's lack of enabled flags indicates that the image is not being used at all.
Split status: The split status field tells you if the loader and application are compatible. A loader + application combo is compatible only if both images were built at the same time with newt. If the loader and application are not compatible, the loader will not boot into the application.
By default, the application image in slot 1 is disabled. This is indicated in the image list response above. When you deploy a loader / application combo to your device, the application image won't actually run. Instead, the loader will act as though an application image is not present and remain in "loader mode". Typically, a device in loader mode simply acts as an image management server, listening for an image upgrade or a request to activate the application image.
Tell device to "test out" the application image on next boot (newtmgr image test <application-image-hash>).
Make above change permanent (newtmgr image confirm).
The active confirmed flags value on both slots indicates that both images are permanently running.
Upload new image to slot 1 (newtmgr image upload <filename>).
Tell device to "test out" the new image on next boot (newtmgr image test <image-hash>).
Make new image permanent (newtmgr image confirm).
Disable split functionality; we need to deactivate the application image in slot 1 (newtmgr image test <current-loader-hash>).
Upload new loader to slot 1 (newtmgr image upload <filename>).
Tell device to "test out" the new loader on next boot (newtmgr image test <new-loader-hash>).
Make above change of loader permanent (newtmgr image confirm).
Upload new application to slot 1 (newtmgr image upload <filename>).
Tell device to "test out" the new application on next boot (newtmgr image test <new-application-hash>).
Make above change of application permanent (newtmgr image confirm).
When performing this process manually, it may be helpful to use image list to check the image management state as you go.
Syscfg is Mynewt's system-wide configuration mechanism. In a split setup, there is a single umbrella syscfg configuration that applies to both the loader and the application. Consequently, overriding a value in an application-only package potentially affects the loader (and vice-versa).
The following applications have been enabled as loaders. You may choose to build your own loader application, and these can serve as samples.
The following applications have been enabled as split applications. If you choose to build your own split application these can serve as samples. Note that slinky can be either a loader image or an application image.
First newt builds the application and loader images separately to ensure they are consistent (no errors) and to generate elf files which can inform newt of the symbols used by each part.
Then newt collects the symbols used by both application and loader in two ways. It collects the set of symbols from the .elf files. It also collects all the possible symbols from the .a files for each application.
Newt builds the set of packages that the two applications share. It ensures that all the symbols used in those packages are matching. NOTE: because of features and #ifdefs, its possible for the two package to have symbols that are not the same. In this case newt generates an error and will not build a split image.
Then newt creates the list of symbols that the two applications share from those packages (using the .elf files).
Newt re-links the loader to ensure all of these symbols are present in the loader application (by forcing the linker to include them in the .elf).
Newt builds a special copy of the loader.elf with only these symbols (and the handful of symbols discussed in the linking section above).
Finally, newt links the application, replacing the common .a libraries with the special loader.elf image during the link.

Christmas Fair On Ice 2020 raises £24,000 for the Foundation
The Christmas Fair may have been put 'on ice' for 2020, but that didn't hold back the organising committee who still raised an amazing £24,000 to support communities in Cornwall through the pandemic.
Over the last 28 years, The Cornwall Christmas Fair has raised more than £750,000 in charitable donations. The funding raised in 2020 will help the Foundation to enable frontline Cornish community groups and charities to meet increasing demand, rebuild and extend their services.
Co-chair Kate Holborow comments, "The needs of Cornish communities have been brought starkly to the fore by the effects of the pandemic. It was important that, although we had to sadly cancel the Cornwall Christmas Fair, we found other ways to raise funds for the Foundation. Thanks to the enthusiasm and commitment of our generous sponsors, donors and committee, we have raised £24,000."
Funds were raised through an online auction with 17 incredible lots including a three-course dinner by chef Tim Spedding delivered to the winner's door, an interior design consultation with interior designer Nicola O'Mara and a two-night stay in a Shepherd's Hut complete with hot tub. Supporters also donated the value of their usual entrance tickets, and much more, and breakfast for two at the fabulous Pig at Harlyn Bay.
The Christmas Fair on Ice 2020 was also generously sponsored by Ginsters and Lillicrap Chilcott.
Cornwall Community Foundation has been at the forefront of supporting vulnerable Cornish communities since Covid hit. Since March the Cornwall Emergency Fund has awarded more than 250 grants totalling over £1 million to community organisations, including local food banks, family support groups, mental health charities and projects supporting older people.
Tamas Haydu, Chief Executive of the Foundation, commented, "We are very grateful to the Christmas Fair Committee, the sponsors, donors and bidders for supporting the CCF so generously. The incredible funds raised will go a long way in helping the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. This Christmas and the winter months will be especially challenging for many people and we are here to support them."
We are looking forward to the Cornwall Christmas Fair returning to the Eden Project next year which have been announced as:
Wednesday 10 November 2021 – Preview & Shopping Evening
Thursday 11 November 2021 - Day Fair
We cannot wait to see you there.

Gustav Adolf Pfleiderer (* 17. Februar 1845 in Heilbronn; † 23. Mai 1896 in Tübingen) war ein deutscher Unternehmer. Er gründete in Heilbronn eine Langholzhandlung, aus der das heutige Unternehmen Pfleiderer erwuchs.

Leben
Pfleiderer hatte Prokura bei der Heilbronner Holzhandlung August Vowinckel & Cie., die zunächst nur ein Filialunternehmen eines Düsseldorfer Unternehmens war. 1882 wurde das Unternehmen umstrukturiert und erhielt in Heilbronn einen Handelsregistereintrag. Geschäftsführer waren Gustav Adolf Pfleiderer und Jacob Vowinckel. 1894 erlosch schließlich die August Vowinckel & Cie. und Pfleiderer führte das Unternehmen unter seinem Namen alleine weiter. Dem langjährigen Mitarbeiter Friedrich Eberle gewährte er Prokura. Er starb 1896 unerwartet in Tübingen.

Familie
Pfleiderer heiratete am 19. April 1876 in Odenkirchen Elisabeth Michels (1852–1909), die Tochter des örtlichen Pfarrers Hermann Georg Michels. Aus der Ehe gingen sechs Söhne hervor. Der älteste Sohn Adolf Pfleiderer (1877–1957) trat noch zu Lebzeiten des Vaters in das Unternehmen ein. Nach dem frühen Tod des Vaters führte er es gemeinsam mit dem drittältesten Sohn Paul Otto Pfleiderer (1880–1960) fort. Die weiteren Söhne waren Hans Pfleiderer (1878–1944), Amtsgerichtsdirektor in Heilbronn, Ernst Pfleiderer (1882–1946), Maschinenbauingenieur, Georg Pfleiderer (1892–1973), der als Architekt maßgeblich am Aufbau des Pfleiderer-Werks in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz beteiligt war, und Theodor Pfleiderer (1895–1917), der im Ersten Weltkrieg als Fluglehrer in Schleißheim tödlich verunglückte.

Würdigung
Auf dem Heilbronner Hauptfriedhof ist das Familiengrab erhalten, in dem Gustav Adolf Pfleiderer, seine Frau Elisabeth sowie der jüngste Sohn Theodor begraben liegen. In einem weiteren erhaltenen Familiengrab ruht der Sohn Hans Pfleiderer mit seiner Familie.

Q: Checking network connectivity When i use the below code my app will run:
private ConnectivityManager checknetworkconnectivity;
private NetworkInfo checknetworkinfo;

checknetworkconnectivity = (ConnectivityManager)
getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    checknetworkinfo = checknetworkconnectivity.getActiveNetworkInfo();

    if(checknetworkinfo != null && checknetworkinfo.isConnectedOrConnecting()){
        LoaderManager manager  = getLoaderManager();
        manager.initLoader(EARTHQUAKE_LOADER_ID, null, EarthquakeActivity.this);
    }
    else {
        progressbar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        blanktextview.setText(R.string.no_internet);
    }

but when i used the below code app crahes:
   private ConnectivityManager checknetworkconnectivity;
    private NetworkInfo checknetworkinfo;

   checknetworkconnectivity = (ConnectivityManager)
  getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    checknetworkinfo = checknetworkconnectivity.getActiveNetworkInfo();

    if(checknetworkinfo.isConnectedOrConnecting()&& checknetworkinfo !=
   null){
        LoaderManager manager  = getLoaderManager();
        manager.initLoader(EARTHQUAKE_LOADER_ID, null, EarthquakeActivity.this);
    }
    else {
        progressbar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        blanktextview.setText(R.string.no_internet);
    }

Why this is happening, i think both are same?

A: I think its simply a NullPointerException. See the code below.
if(checknetworkinfo.isConnectedOrConnecting()&& checknetworkinfo != null)

Now if checknetworkinfo is Null then it will throw Nullpointer Cause you are checking for null in second condition . You should first check for null and then check for other condition . So it should be as .
if(checknetworkinfo != null && checknetworkinfo.isConnectedOrConnecting())

A: As written in the documentation, getActiveNetworkInfo() returns NULL when there is no default currently active network.
Consider a simple AND statement like: <condition A> && <condition B>
Since this is an AND operator both the conditions need to be true.

In Java, if the first condition comes out to be false, the second condition is not even executed (or checked) as it won't make any difference whether it is true or false. (AND operator would still return false)
In if(checknetworkinfo != null && checknetworkinfo.isConnectedOrConnecting()) the variable checknetworkinfo can never be NULL during the execution of the second condition, as the first condition must always be true before the second can be checked.Howerver, in if(checknetworkinfo.isConnectedOrConnecting()&& checknetworkinfo !=
   null) the variable checknetworkinfo is not checked for NULL. And so when it is NULL, it results in a NullPointerException.
