The Monthly Mash: Sept. 2019 Part I
September 27, 2019 September 27, 2019 , News, The Monthly Mash
Member-Owned, Industry-Driven
ACSA Mission:
To elevate and advocate for the community of craft spirits producers.
From the Desk of Margie A.S. Lehrman,
Dear Friends in Our Craft Spirits Industry:
Fall has arrived and with it comes lots of ACSA activity. Help guide our efforts by responding TODAY to our poll on TTB's notice of proposed rulemaking to Standards of Fill.
Have you been on the ACSA homepage recently? Did you notice the ticking timeline for the expiration of the FET relief? Fortunately, key Congressional folks shared some of their optimism this past week. You'll want to get caught up on what's happening with the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act.
There are some events that bring consistent excitement. Encouraged by the number of new, innovative products being entered into our Judging of Craft Spirits Competition, I feel good about where our industry is headed. Take a peek at this year's competition, taking place at Cardinal Spirits in Indiana.
Another promising area is ACSA's education. Our safety program, customized for the craft distiller, is taking place at Garrison Brothers Distillery in Texas. Or, if you prefer to stay home, how about registering for one of our webinars on cocktail menus or the state of brandy?
Our registration for ACSA convention host hotel is now available. I'm a softie for "new" and the Hyatt Regency Portland fits that bill: We will be one of the first groups to grace its lobby (and use its sleeping rooms) in March 2020!
A farmer by natural instinct, I adore the Garden State. See how New Jersey's distilling community is rapidly growing.
Our editorial team is finalizing the next issue of Craft Spirits magazine. Do you have news you'd like to share?
We're not too busy to thank you for your loyalty and support. We are so proud to serve the craft spirits community.
What's Happening With FET Relief?
Unless you are living under a rock, you are aware that the reduction in the Federal Excise Tax (FET) is due to expire at the end of this year. Yes: that gives us just over 3 months to do something before the rate returns to $13.50 per proof gallon. Will it?
Not if we can help it.
Legislation to make permanent the FET reduction (Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act) continues to gain support in the Senate and House. Additionally, ACSA is aggressively working the top leaders of Congress to get this on the agenda for the fall.
H.R.1175 now has 288 co-sponsors. This is just shy of two-thirds of the U.S. House, which is 290. Most bills don't have that kind of bipartisan support, so we are bolstered by our progress. In the Senate, there are now 71 Senators on S.362. It takes 60 votes to break a filibuster in the Senate, thus, there is no question that our provision enjoys incredibly broad support in both chambers.
Additionally, the House Ways and Means Committee in late June reported a bill (along with a number of other tax extenders) to continue our FET reduction until the end of 2020. However, this bill has yet to go to the full House for a vote, so it is NOT a done deal.
It is widely believed that we will have the FET relief extended for one or two years, as part of a larger bill dealing with tax provisions that need to be extended. Our bill is not the only one Congress is tackling. Congressional leaders must make a decision this fall to "attach" this to other larger spending measures that keep the government open and funded.
In just the past two weeks, ACSA has met twice with House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal (D-MA). We have met with our key Senate GOP sponsor, Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Senator Corey Gardner (R-CO), another key supporter. All are optimistic that our FET relief can get extended. Each directed us to keep up the pressure on the Congress as a whole. We will continue to do so.
What's up ahead?
A second ACSA national call-in day will take place in October. We are working with our industry "cousins" to select the same day to make the most impact, so stay tuned. Congressional offices will hear from each beverage category: spirits, wine, beer and cider. Suppliers also will help us overload the cell towers, with our collective voices reaching Capitol Hill. We will be noticed. Our voices will be heard.
Also, ACSA will continue to meet with top Congressional leaders. However, we strongly urge all of our Association members to seek meetings back in the U.S. House member's district or Senate district offices. Finally, we also strongly encourage members to support the ACSA PAC. Click here to learn more.
We will not rest until we make this a permanent part of the tax code.
Should TTB Eliminate Standard of Fill Requirements? LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK TODAY
TTB is proposing to eliminate the existing standards of fill for distilled spirits, allowing spirits to be sold in any quantity between a minimum standard of 50 milliliters and a maximum standard of 3.785 liters.
ACSA is determining whether we will submit comments on behalf of craft spirits producers. Before a decision is reached, ACSA wants to know what YOU think before we act. Please complete the short three-question survey below and respond today, September 27th. It should take only a few minutes to complete, unless you wish to review the complete Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, linked above for your reference.
TTB Proposal – https://www.ttb.gov/distilled-spirits/notices-of-proposed-rulemaking
A minimum container size is needed to insure sufficient space on that container for required labeling. A maximum container size is needed to maintain the distinction between bottled and bulk products.
Eliminating the current standards of fill would open up the market and allow you, as the producer, a wider variety of options, and would "eliminate restrictions on competition and the movement of goods in domestic and international commerce." For those who export or plan to export, the allowance to use packages excepted both internationally and domestically relieves the producer of the burden of excessive inventory stocks.
There are concerns that eliminating the standards and opening up the market to such a wide variety of sizes and options will cause confusion to the consumer about price comparisons, increase competition from international spirits, and create chaos for warehousing inventories and shelf-space/placements.

Distillers, Relieved Over Extension Of Federal Tax Reductions, Promise To Fight To Make Them Permanent

Temple 1608; St. John's, Camb. 1609; travelled abroad (France) 1611-12.3 m.

Bar. Wentworth of Wentworth Woodhouse, baron of Newmarch and Oversley 22 July 1628, Visct. Wentworth 13 Dec. 1628, baron of Raby and earl of Strafford 12 Jan. 1640, KG Oct. 1640.9 exec. 12 May 1641. sig. Th[omas] Wentworth.
Given his relatively obscure background and his youth - he was only 36 years old when appointed president of the Ccouncil in the North - Wentworth's early accomplishments as a politician and statesman were by no means pre-ordained. Some of his successes can be ascribed to fortunate circumstances, but he was also possessed of what Clarendon termed 'a piercing judgment both into things and persons', which he consistently turned to his best advantage.29 This can be seen both during his parliamentary career in 1628, when he laboured to dispel the mutual suspicion which existed between Crown and Commons, and also during the 1630s, when he juggled factional rivalries in Ireland, Yorkshire and Whitehall in order to secure his own position and effect administrative reforms. Although 'Thorough' can be viewed as a bulwark of Caroline absolutism, Wentworth, unlike Laud, was never afraid of Parliaments: in 1634 he secured a swift grant of six subsidies from the Irish Parliament, a stark contrast to the ugly scenes which had marred the opening of the 1613 session; while in 1641 his forceful rebuttal of impeachment charges laid in the English Parliament obliged his enemies to secure his downfall via an attainder.
...that we should signify to our most just king that in ourselves we are fully satisfied by His Majesty's gracious words that there is [sic] no undertakers, only that we would have him likewise fully satisfied that our liberties and loves went hand in hand... and they were not to be drawn on by the vain hopes of any private men's preferments whosoever, further than our zeals and loyalties would willingly yield unto.
he that thinks that countrymen have no understanding, or that they will be fed with words shall find himself much deceived. Therefore he desired that though the pardon went not with it, yet ... at least the bills of grace might go with it, not by way of merchandise, but as the subsidies come free from us, so these bills of grace might freely come from His Majesty.
When Wentworth offered Calvert his electoral services, he could not have foreseen the suspension of secretary of state (Sir) Robert Naunton* in January 1621, which left the pro-Spanish Calvert in sole charge of the implementation of royal diplomacy for the next two years. This coincidence, combined with Wentworth's judicious performance in the House and his willingness to explain the early grant of supply to his neighbours, quickly led to rumours of preferment: a viscountcy was mentioned as early as June 1621. While this did not come to pass, Wentworth's behaviour in the Commons during the following autumn provided an interesting counterpoint to the Crown's official policy, suggesting that he was coming to identify his interests with those of the Spanish faction at Court.
would not have us capitulate with the king, nor to give the subsidy on condition to have a sessions before Christmas; but would have us petition the king for a session, without hope whereof he would not have given this subsidy. And the whole House saith the like.
The formal dissolution of the Parliament on 8 Feb. 1622 did Wentworth's prospects at Court no harm: his advocacy of legislation before supply reflected the views of his neighbours, but also served a hispanophile agenda by helping to close off the military option, leaving the Spanish Match as the only realistic solution to the Palatine crisis. Rumours of a viscountcy resurfaced, and within days Wentworth had paid £100 towards the Benevolence the Crown called for in place of the lost subsidy. In April he was appointed receiver-general of Yorkshire, which offered him little prestige but a cash flow of several thousand pounds a year, while three months later he was tipped to succeed Viscount Falkland (Sir Henry Carey I*) as comptroller of the Household.
We conclude that the French treaty must first be consummate before such unruly fellows meet in Parliament, lest they might appear as agile against this, as that other Spanish Match. For my part I like it well, and conceive the bargain wholesome on our side, that we save three other subsidies and fifteenths. Less could not have been demanded for the dissolving of this treaty, and still the king your master have pretended to suffer loss (no doubt for our satisfaction only), which certainly we should have believed, and reputed ourselves great gainers, and that rightly too.
I am fully resolved not to ascend one step in this kind except I may take along with me by the way a special obligation to my lord duke, from whose bounty and goodness I do not only acknowledge much already, but, justified in the truth of my own heart, [I] do still repose and rest under the shadow and protection of his favour.
I am ready to justify myself ... never to have declined forth of the open and plain ways of loyalty and truth towards their majesties, never to have falsified a little the precious and general trust of my country ... The world may well think I knew the way which would have kept my place: I confess indeed it had been too dear a purchase, and so I leave it, not conscious of any fault in myself, nor yet guilty of the virtue of my successor, that should occasion this removal.
I am none of those which will refuse confinement. I will not dispute but obey ... as one naturally more delighting, more comforted to serve my sovereign his own way than my own; and when I do otherwise seemingly, I shall always judge it my misfortune, nay my greatest misfortune.
I [Wandesford] told him [Mallory, that] Savile I thought would stand; he [Mallory] believed none could oppose him in your absence. I replied if the country understood themselves ... they could do no less than make choice of you, though absent; he agreed, and that H[enry] Belasyse* joining with you the field was yours.
For all this semblance of normality, the final month of the session came close to disaster on several occasions. The first occurred when the king offered a wholly inadequate answer to the Petition of Right on 2 June. Eliot, first on his feet the following morning, rehearsed a long list of dangers facing the realm, but was promptly accused of having planned this protest. Wentworth attempted to calm tempers with the observation that all must have freedom of speech to debate the ills of the commonwealth, but the debate ran out of control for several days, eventually lighting on the subject of religion. At this point Wentworth seized the opportunity to attack Savile's recusancy composition scheme: 'the commission granted for compounding with recusants amounts to no better than a toleration, and this is only on pretence of increasing the king's revenue'. While Charles's second answer to the Petition proved satisfactory, the debates of 3-6 June had spawned a Remonstrance, which rehearsed every known calumny against Buckingham. When the focus of this investigation turned to coastal defence on 9 June, Wentworth suggested that the number of ships lost since the outbreak of war might have been overestimated, a small point, perhaps, but an indication that he hoped for restoration to the duke's favour. Two days later, he was clearly thinking of his constituents when he moved for a statement about the unpopularity of the Forced Loan: 'I think it will make those that are near the king to be careful how they offer to inform his judgment with other reports than may be justly taken from the truth'. On 20 June, when auditor (Sir) Edmund Sawyer* insisted the king had personally commanded him to draft a new book of customs rates, Wentworth dismissed the claim as 'a lewd and hateful speech ... We know the king cannot have knowledge of himself of these things'. Sir Edward Coke picked the following day to introduce the complex topic of administrative reform, which Wentworth tactfully suggested should be considered after the prorogation.67 In a House of Commons filled with the headstrong, the success of the 1628 session should not be discounted. Much of this achievement can be ascribed to Sir Edward Coke and Wentworth, who both realized that a workable compromise could and should be constructed from unpromising beginnings. Their impact cannot be measured accurately, but it is worth noting that the 1629 session, bereft of both their talents, had a very different outcome.

The pros and cons 95 percent mortgages where you must provide a deposit – of 5% of the purchase price.
There are some mortgage lenders that offer competitive 95% mortgages. Most lenders offer better interest rates at 90% loan to value and currently this Loan to value (LTV) the preferred lending mark.
First-time buyers will be given access to 95 per cent mortgages by a new lending partnership between Saffron Building Society and house-builder Taylor Wimpey.
East Anglia-based Saffron's 95 per cent loan-to-value (LTV) mortgages will be made possible by an exclusive mortgage guarantee scheme provided by Taylor Wimpey.
The house-builder will offer the 'Take5' mortgages initially on housing developments in East Anglia, the east Midlands and east London.
The scheme means that buyers in the region could secure a two bedroom home with a deposit of just £5,750, compared with the current UK average of £28,770.
John Eastgate, Saffron's sales and marketing director said: "With rental prices and the cost of living rising, many prospective first-time buyers are simply not able to save the substantial deposits required of many current mortgages.
"We know that there are many potential borrowers who are capable of supporting a mortgage but are 'frozen out' of the market by the large deposits required.
"Affordability remains a core priority with every mortgage that we underwrite, particularly given the potential for rising interest rates.
As can be seen the collaboration between Taylor Wimpey and Saffron seeks to create a win – win situation. Since many potential buyers simply do not have the deposit to put down in the purchase of a property.
NewBuy Guarantee is designed to offer competitively priced mortgages for those who have relatively small deposits, provided that they are buying a newbuild property.
It is hoped the scheme will stimulate demand for newbuild properties, creating jobs in the construction industry and kick-starting the stagnant property market.
But critics fear it could lead to young homebuyers taking on more debt than they can afford and saddling them with negative equity if house prices fall further, leaving taxpayers rather than the banks to cover any bad debt.
The following questions and answers provide more information on how the scheme works.
A: The main advantage of the new scheme is that first-time buyers can borrow up to 95pc of the property's purchase price – so only need to put down a 5pc deposit. Since the credit crunch most banks have required buyers to save at least 10pc of the purchase price, and the more competitively priced mortgages have been available only to those with a 20pc deposit.
This has made it difficult for many first-time buyers to get finance, and the consequent lack of demand has created problems for those further up the housing ladder. Of course the disadvantage is that they are less flexible, as there are tighter restrictions on who will qualify for one of these loans.
Q: Who can get a NewBuy mortgage?
A: The key criterion is that you must be buying a newbuild property, so those buying a flat in a Victorian conversion, for example, will not benefit from this scheme. It is running only in England, and the builders or developers must have signed up to the scheme. Although it is aimed primarily at first-time buyers, those who are buying their second or third property are not excluded (provided that they meet the other criteria).
However, to qualify the property must be your main home, not a buy-to-let, and the property must be purchased for less than £500,000. In addition you must be a British citizen and have saved for the deposit without help from a local or public authority.
Q: When will these loans be available?
A: From this week. Three lenders, Barclays, Nationwide and NatWest, have already launched such deals, and both Halifax and Santander have expressed interest in following suit.
Q: What rates are they charging?
A: Mark Harris, the chief executive of SPF Private Clients, a mortgage broker, said the rates being offered were fairly competitive. The cheapest deal at present is from NatWest, which is offering a two-year fix through the scheme at 4.29pc, with a £499 arrangement fee. It's also offering a five-year fix at 4.99pc (with the same fee).
In contrast Barclays is offering a two-year fix at 4.99pc and a four-year fix at 5.89pc – both also charge a £499 arrangement fee. Nationwide's deals are slightly more expensive. It is offering a three-year fix at 5.69pc and a five-year fix at 5.99pc. In both cases there is a £900 product fee, plus a £99 booking fee, although first-time buyers will qualify for a £500 fee discount, meaning that they will pay £499.
Q: How do the rates compare with existing mortgage deals?
A:The rates offered are pretty competitive. Only a handful of lenders offer 95pc mortgages at present. Outside the NewBuy scheme the best is from Skipton Building Society, charging 6.29pc on a five-year fix (with a £195 fee).
David Hollingworth of London & Country mortgage brokers said the rates looked good when compared with the deals being offered to those who have saved a 10pc deposit. Here, Nottingham building society is offering a five-year fix at 4.74pc (with no fee), only marginally cheaper than NatWest's NewBuy deal, which doesn't require such a large deposit.
However, those who can save a significantly larger deposit will qualify for a cheaper deal. Market Harborough building society, for example, charges just 3.99pc on its five-year fixed-rate deal (with a £245 fee), but only on mortgages that are worth no more than 80pc of the property's value.
Q: Why are all these NewBuy deals fixed-rate mortgages?
A: This protects first-time buyers from any interest rate increases, which would push up mortgage repayments. However, most brokers recommended opting for a longer-term fix, as there is the danger that a two-year fixed-rate deal will expire just as rates increase.
Q: Does the government guarantee mean first-time buyers will be protected from negative equity?
A: No. The government guarantee helps the banks offering these loans, not the borrower. If you are in negative equity you will still find it difficult to remortgage or move to another property, and in the worst-case scenario you could be repossessed if you fail to keep up with payments.
If this happens, and the lender sells at a loss, the borrower is still liable to make up any shortfall. However, if house prices fall significantly, ordinarily banks face additional losses on such bad debt if home owners can't repay. With this scheme, the developers and the Government have contributed to a fund to cover a limited amount of these future losses, which it hopes will encourage banks to lend more.
Q: Do I have to take out a 95pc mortgage?
A: No, if you have a deposit of between 5pc and 10pc you can qualify for one of these mortgages. A bigger deposit will help protect you from negative equity and will reduce overall mortgage costs, as you are paying interest on a smaller sum.
In the end, it is a question of choice and taking advantage of the opportunities available to you at the time – All the best with your purchase.

San Antonio-based USAA is known for the services it offers to active-duty military personnel and their families, including credit cards. To get access to these services and apply for membership, you must be active or former military, an eligible family member, a cadet or midshipman.
USAA has 65 credit card options, including 58 that support military affiliate groups. If you're looking for a USAA-branded credit card and want to support an affiliate group, consider the Veterans of Foreign Wars USAA Rewards™ Visa Signature® Card. Like all USAA credit cards, this one offers help to active-duty military who may need financial relief and protections under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA).
After looking at the sign-up bonus, rewards and perks that come with the Veterans of Foreign Wars USAA Rewards™ Visa Signature® Card, we found that other credit cards can offer a lot more in the way of rewards and parks.
That being said, USAA makes donations to the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) each time cardmembers make a purchase. The VFW is the largest and oldest war veterans service organization in the U.S., and helping it can be very compelling for USAA members and cardholders.
Supporting organizations such as VFW can be a reason military members and their families get the Veterans of Foreign Wars USAA Rewards™ Visa Signature® Card despite other cards that offer better sign-up bonuses and more points per $1 spent.
The biggest plus of this card holds true with any credit card issued by USAA — its strong customer service for military members and their eligible family members.
After earning points on the card, you have several options when it comes to redeeming them. You can convert your points into cash that can be credited to your Veterans of Foreign Wars USAA Rewards™ Visa Signature® Card account or deposited into your USAA checking or savings account.
You can also redeem your points to buy travel, gift cards or merchandise, or donate them to military affiliate groups. All this is done through the USAA Rewards Service Center, available at usaa.com or by calling 800-980-8722. There's no maximum on the number of points you can earn, and your points don't expire as long as your account is open.
The card doesn't come with a purchase intro rate, but there is an intro 0% for 12 months APR balance transfer rate (12.40% - 27.40% Variable APR, thereafter). The balance transfer fee is 3% on balance transfers and cash advances, $200 maximum. Pay off the card's balance before the end of the introductory period to save on interest charges.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars USAA Rewards™ Visa Signature® Card is a big help for active-duty personnel since they can get special assistance if they're deployed or they experience a permanent change of station (PCS). During that time, their balance APR drops to 4% on all balances for up to 12 months during deployment or PCS. After 12 months, the regular APR returns at 12.40% - 27.40% Variable APR.
If you're having financial trouble as an active-duty service member, USAA customer service agents are ready to walk you through the SCRA process. The act restricts or limits actions against military personnel on active duty, allowing them to have 4% on an existing balance, including credit cards, until a year after completing active duty.
You can also use the card to show your patriotism by picking from nine designs at no charge.
You can't apply for this card unless you're a USAA member. While the card has a good term for its intro balance transfer rate, you should pay it off before it hits the regular 12.40% - 27.40% Variable APR.
If you're looking for more from a card, such as a better sign-up bonus, more points per $1 spent on things such as travel, dining, gas and groceries, and more travel and purchase perks, then the Veterans of Foreign Wars USAA Rewards™ Visa Signature® Card may not be your best bet.
Collision damage waiver coverage for rental cars.
(78) Over the Past 60 Days!
If the rewards and perks offered by the Veterans of Foreign Wars USAA Rewards™ Visa Signature® Card aren't as robust as you'd like, then take a look at this card. It comes with a $0 annual fee, just like the Veterans of Foreign Wars USAA Rewards™ Visa Signature® Card.
New cardmembers Earn a one-time $150 cash bonus after you spend $500 on purchases within the first 3 months from account opening. That turns into $150 that can be redeemed three ways: a statement credit, a check or to cover past purchases or gift cards. You can also set up automatic redemptions, either at a set time each calendar year or when specific monetary thresholds are reached.
You earn 3% Cash Back on dining; 3% Cash Back on entertainment; 2% Cash Back at grocery stores; 1% Cash Back on all other purchases. This is better than what's offered by the Veterans of Foreign Wars USAA Rewards™ Visa Signature® Card, especially in the favored dining, entertainment and grocery store categories.
Entertainment covers movies, plays, concerts, sporting events, tourist attractions, theme parks, aquariums, zoos, dance clubs, pool halls or bowling alleys, along with purchases at record store and video rental locations. Dining includes restaurants, cafes, bars, lounges, fast-food chains and bakeries. Grocery stores include supermarkets, meat lockers, freezers, dairy product stores and specialty markets, but superstores such as Walmart and Target are excluded.
Card perks include an extended warranty, price protection and 24/7 concierge service, similar to what's offered by the Veterans of Foreign Wars USAA Rewards™ Visa Signature® Card.
Check out our picks for the best rewards cards.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars USAA Rewards™ Visa Signature® Card comes with the customer service and attention to detail for military members and their eligible family members by which USAA is known. That, along with USAA's expertise in handling SCRA protections and its donations to the VFW when using the card, may make it a better choice for military members.
But if you want a card that offers more points per $1 spent in popular categories and a simple way to redeem them, then consider the Capital One® SavorOne℠ Cash Rewards Credit Card.

Q: Redirection on direct access to PHP script I'm building a website that contains a considerable amount of object-oriented PHP code. To keep the code clean, each class is stored in a single file named [classname].class.php and require_once'd in the script file. Being a form evaluation script, it already has redirections based on the POST variable to prevent dummy execution and database errors.
How do I make it so anyone trying to access the .class.php files gets redirected to the related HTML page, but keep it usable by include and require?

A: you can either

*

*put it outside the public_html folder

*deny access/redirect using filename patterns in the .htaccess

*build a small php code in (the top of every class file) that looks for a variable which is initialised in the index.  If it's not there, redirect.

If you need further explanation on any of these, just ask.

Van Gogh Painter is one of our bestsellers written by well-known Van Gogh experts. This reprint from December 2016 has a fresh new cover. In the space of ten years Van Gogh developed from an old-fashioned artist who worked in the Hague School and Barbizon styles into one of the leading modernists of his time. This spectacular progression is often seen as a story in two parts. However, the connecting thread that links the early work to the late is at least as remarkable, and possibly even more revealing of Van Gogh's character as an artist. 190 pages, new edition available in English.


Recognition as a leading financial expert at this ground-breaking international arbitration training event reinforces recent expansion investment made by Ocean Tomo, notably our joint venture into mainland China.
Ocean Tomo CEO, James E. Malackowski travels to Japan next week to participate in a Mock International Arbitration – Toward Early Dispute Resolution of Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) in the 5G Era hosted by the Japan Patent Office.
Taking place on June 29 in Tokyo, the day-long program will demonstrate how international arbitration can provide a path to resolve disputes over Fifth-Generation Mobile Communications System (5G) Standards Essential Patents (SEPs). The mock arbitration will be conducted as if the parties were within 5G era.
Former Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and Ocean Tomo Advisor, Randall R. Rader, will Chair the event along with an experience panel of judges from Asia and Europe.
"Intellectual property matters now involve global business issues more often than not," explained Malackowski. "Recognition as a leading financial expert at this ground-breaking international arbitration training event reinforces recent expansion investment made by Ocean Tomo, notably our joint venture into mainland China.
The June 29th program is expected to highlight the benefits of a unified, global approach to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as more cost effective and timely than multiple parallel enforcement actions in various national courts.

Q: How to concatenate a pandas multi index column dataframe with a single index dataframe I have the following piece of code where I'm trying to perform a group by aggregation on a pivot table and concatenate the resulting aggregation back into the pivot table dataframe. But I'm having issues joining tables of different levels.
import pandas as pd

data = [
        ["alice", "school 1", "math", 95],
        ["alice", "school 1", "science", 87],
        ["charlie", "school 1", "math", 72],
        ["charlie", "school 1", "science", 63],
        ["bob", "school 2", "math", 92],
        ["bob", "school 2", "science", 68],
        ["dale", "school 2", "math", 56],
        ["dale", "school 2", "science", 78],
]

df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns =["student_name", "school", "class", "class score"])

pvt = pd.pivot_table(df, index=["class"], columns=["school", "student_name"])
print(pvt)
print()

aggregate_sum = pvt.groupby(level=1, axis=1).sum()
print(aggregate_sum)

Pivot Table Output:
             class score
school          school 1         school 2
student_name       alice charlie      bob dale
class
math                  95      72       92   56
science               87      63       68   78

Aggregate Output:
school   school 1  school 2
class
math          167       148
science       150       146

How do I concatenate the aggregate output into the pivot table on the same level as the student names?
Expected Output:
             class score
school          school 1                   school 2
student_name       alice charlie  sum      bob dale  sum
class
math                  95      72  167      92   56   148
science               87      63  150      68   78   176

A: Merge with merge and update the multi-column name, and then create the multi-column with pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples() to update the merged multi-column.
final = pvt.merge(aggregate_sum, on='class', how='inner')
final = final.rename(columns={'school 1':('class score','school 1','sum'), 'school 2':('class score','school 2','sum')})
cols = final.columns
index = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples(cols)
final.columns = index
final = (final[[('class score','school 1','alice'),('class score', 'school 1', 'charlie'),
                ('class score','school 1','sum'),('class score', 'school 2','bob'),
                ('class score', 'school 2','dale'),('class score', 'school 2','sum')]])
final
        class score
        school 1    school 2
alice   charlie sum bob dale    sum
class
math    95  72  167 92  56  148

Eirin Ann Hicks: Texas State Student Killed by One-Story Jump
Richard Connelly | May 4, 2011 | 11:32am
If you're a parent who wonders why you worry about your kid, fresh evidence today that you need to: A Texas State student has died by jumping out of a first-floor window.
Eirin Ann Hicks, 24 and from Temple, was taken off life support yesterday after head injuries suffered in the incident.
The dorm window in question at the San Marcos campus is slightly higher than the typical first-floor window because of a hill sloping underneath the building, but it's not a big jump by any means.
A photo in the Austin American-Statesman shows maybe a six- to ten-foot jump, depending on the window.
A 19-year-old Texas State student from Houston, Kristin McCreery, was also injured by jumping, but reports have her in fair condition with a back injury. A male student who jumped was not injured.
Students had gathered in the dorm room and, when they were leaving early Tuesday morning, Hicks, McCreery and the other student decided to exit by jumping out the window.


Fashion designers work on the design of clothing and fashion ranges. Staffing Organizational Units — Recruiting, interviewing, choosing, hiring, and promoting workers in a corporation. A textile designer designs material weaves and prints for garments and furnishings. And these days whenever you take a look at a Calvin Klein billboard you're most likely going to see an excellent engaging mannequin in Calvin Klein underwear.\n\nFluency of Concepts — The power to come up with plenty of ideas a couple of matter (the number of ideas is important, not their quality, correctness, or creativity). Anda dapat menambahkan informasi lokasi di Tweet Anda, seperti kota atau lokasi persis, dari internet dan melalui aplikasi pihak ketiga.\n\nSimply think about: all your prototypes should be runway-ready in order that celebrities and the glitterati of the fashion world can decide you and your work, and New York Fashion Week is barely one of many big reveals you will present at on an annual basis, and your line may be a whole critical and industrial failure, and also you're competing with a number of other talented people to give you the Next Big Factor in trend—then yeah, there's some stress involved.\n\nYou possibly can upgrade your software each on and off and as new features seem on the internet you may download them. And some companies, like Sew Repair and Adobe, are already using such software program to provide products. In case you are computer savvy, you will love this computer aided attire design software which has turn out to be increasingly well-liked in the fashion industry as in lots of different design industries.\n\nHaileigh Vasquez, an eight-year-old clothier and style star, is already working with manufacturers like Target and Levi's.

Baby woolly monkey Fausto has finally found the companionship he desperately needs and craves after being saved from the illegal wildlife trade in Peru. Torn from his mum, little Fausto is now in the care of ADI who have found the perfect companion for him – Panchita, an older female with whom he bonded immediately and the pair are now inseparable.
Fausto was just 4 months old when he arrived at our Operation Spirit of Freedom rescue centre near Lima. Rescued from a restaurant where he was used to entertain guests Fausto, as with any baby, required round-the-clock attention and care. When ADI received news of another woolly monkey who had also been illegally trafficked and used in entertainment, we seized the opportunity to help her.
When the mischievous and energetic Fausto was introduced to older and sweet-natured Panchita, the pair burst into joyful play, wrestling, tumbling and tickling one another, clearly delighted to be with someone of their own kind, understanding their language and sense of fun.
Threatened in the wild woolly monkeys, like all primate species, are highly social and intelligent, and typically live in undisturbed forest habitats in large groups. Babies like Fausto would be fed by their mother for up to a year.
Fausto and Panchita were relocated to the Pilpintuwasi sanctuary in April 2015, joining nearly 40 other monkeys, kinkajous and coati mundis - all rescued from circuses and the illegal wildlife trade across Peru.
About Operation Spirit of Freedom: ADI has been assisting the Peruvian authorities to enforce the country's ban on wild animals in circuses and has taken in many animals like Fausto and Panchita who have been seized from the illegal wildlife trade. Over 100 animals have been saved.

Q: How to make a bean configuration trigger only when two profiles are active I have a bean that only should get created iff the two profiles "demo" and "local" both are active. What is the best way to achieve this in a java based Spring Configuration.
What I came up with so far is, creating beans like the following:
@Profile("demo")
@Bean("isDemoActive")
public Boolean isDemoActive(){ return true;}

And get those injected in the bean creating method and do a if condition on those beans.
Is there a nicer/easier way to do this kind of stuff?

A: Here's my suggestion, as per my comment above:
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Condition;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ConditionContext;
import org.springframework.core.type.AnnotatedTypeMetadata;

public class DoubleProfilesCondition implements Condition {
    public boolean matches(ConditionContext context,AnnotatedTypeMetadata metadata) {

        String[] activeProfiles = context.getEnvironment().getActiveProfiles();

        int counter = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < activeProfiles.length; i++) {
            String profile = activeProfiles[i];
            if (profile.equals("profile1") || profile.equals("profile2")) {
                counter++;
            }
        }

        if (counter == 2)
            return true;
        return false;
   }
}

And the class that dictates which beans are created:
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Conditional;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
@Conditional(DoubleProfilesCondition.class)
public class MyConfig {

    public @Bean
    ExampleService service() {
        ExampleService service = new ExampleService();
        service.setMessage("hello, success!");
        return service;
    }
}

A: I coded a @ProfileAll annotation which is very like the standard @Profile annotation, but annotated Configurations, Methods, ... are only processed by spring if ALL of the given profiles are currently active:
ProfileAll.java (Annotation)

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Conditional;

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target({ ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD })
@Documented
@Conditional(ProfileAllCondition.class)
public @interface ProfileAll {

    /** The set of profiles for which the annotated component should be registered. */
    String[] value();

}

ProfileAllCondition.java (Condition)
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Condition;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ConditionContext;
import org.springframework.core.type.AnnotatedTypeMetadata;
import org.springframework.util.MultiValueMap;

class ProfileAllCondition implements Condition {

    @Override
    public boolean matches(ConditionContext context, AnnotatedTypeMetadata metadata) {
        if (context.getEnvironment() != null) {
            MultiValueMap<String, Object> attrs = metadata.getAllAnnotationAttributes(ProfileAll.class.getName());
            if (attrs != null) {
                LinkedList<String> profilesActive = new LinkedList<>();
                LinkedList<String> profilesNotActive = new LinkedList<>();
                List<Object> values = attrs.get("value");
                int count = 0;
                for (Object value : values) {
                    for (String profile : ((String[]) value)) {
                        count++;
                        if (context.getEnvironment().acceptsProfiles(profile)) {
                            profilesActive.add(profile);
                        } else {
                            profilesNotActive.add(profile);
                        }
                    }
                }
                if (profilesActive.size() == count) {
                    return true;
                } else {
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
}

use it as follows, e.g.:
@Profile({ "mysql", "cloud", "special" })
@Configuration
public class MySqlConfig {
...

MySqlConfig will then only be processed if all three profiles are currently active on startup.


Ahh the Apple Watch. A revolution in wearables. A huge step forward in haptic technologies. A 340×272 px watch which will change everything. Well, maybe not quite.
The Apple Watch (NOT the iWatch – that sounds more horrifying) has been praised by tech and Apple enthusiasts alike. It's also received it's fair share of criticism. I for one don't jump on the bandwagon that believes the Apple Watch will change the world.
I'm not saying it doesn't have its perks. I mean, its a mini computer living on your wrist. Its the most advanced watch we've ever seen. Is it a step forward for wearable technology? Yes. But is it changing the world? Not really.
The watch follows the same format of most iPhones – except it's less powerful. It's quite similar to strapping an iPhone to your wrist – except the screen is smaller and it's less capable. It doesn't even have the long battery life of a regular watch.
In fact, I'd argue that even a hyper powerful watch wouldn't revolutionise technology. Sure it would be incredible if your watch could measure your blood pressure levels or tweet your location. It's not so much a problem with the technologies potential itself. The main issue is that it is after all a watch.
The first real step towards a technology immersed and haptic technology world is changing the structure of this world. Instead of having a computer in your pocket or on your wrist, the environment itself should become like a computer.
If you still want an Apple Watch to prove what a tech trendsetter you are, I'd say go for it. But I personally am saving my dollars until the real deal comes along.

Southern Bastards #1 Spoiler-Free Review
Home Features Southern Bastards #1 Spoiler-Free Review
By Cal Cleary Features The Page 04/30/2014
Southern Bastards #1 Review
Jason Aaron (w), Jason Latour (a)
Jason Aaron is a writer I've always had trouble warming up to. His work tends to be great at evoking a strong atmosphere and sense of place, but it often falters a bit for me when it comes down to really telling a great story, relying on rehashed pop culture mash-ups and fairly basic genre tropes to drive his books. But, man, what he can do when he really sits down and builds a setting…Whether it's the Rez from Scalped, another rural noir focusing heavily on ideas of poverty, crime, and family or the elaborately constructed Jean Grey School for Higher Learning in Wolverine and the X-Men, Aaron is excellent at crafting a place and then giving it a sense of community that feels vibrant and alive.
Thankfully, Southern Bastards #1 is all atmosphere and place – and all the better for it. Earl's father was once the Sheriff of a small Alabama town, a local hero who took down a gang, in true Stand Tall fashion, with nothing more than grit and a big ol' stick. Earl left decades back, though, his father dead and his family broken. Now, with no family left in Craw County, Earl has returned to deal with his father's estate, but he's in town for less than a day when the county's criminal pull begins to draw him back in. It's a slim story so far, but it's in a genre Aaron is familiar (and talented) with, and he's brought his considerable gifts to bear at making Craw County feel distinctive, starting with an opening two-page spread that's at once wordlessly vulgar and surprisingly elegant at setting the mood.
Jason Latour is an artist who really brings out the best of Aaron's talents. For a series so heavily dependent on its feel, it's vital to have an artist with the flexibility to bring that world alive. Latour imbues Earl with a bone-deep weariness – look below, for example, at the slump of his shoulders; even his mustache seems tired – that tells us everything we need to know about the character for now, and a town that's almost the physical embodiment of that exhaustion. I used to live in the South, and I've driven through Alabama a number of times, and while Latour's art is stylized, he captures the feel of these small towns perfectly. His work lacks the shadowy menace that's defined a lot of Vertigo's crime books, Scalped included, opting to go with a slightly warmer color palette and less populous environments that really give Southern Bastards #1 a genuinely Southern feel.
There are a number of different things a good first issue can do to really sell the series. The most common (and easiest) are to just dive right into the story or main character, introducing the premise or taking us deep inside the head of someone interesting. While Aaron teases us with both, neither gets very fleshed out in this particular issue. Ultimately, Southern Bastards #1 creates a world worth exploring, regardless of anything else. It is through a strong evocation of place that we can see what kind of book we'll be reading, common themes that will likely pop up. Aaron does a great job at bringing us to the edge there, but a series like this lives and dies on its artist's ability to craft a place that feels real and lived-in, and Jason Latour absolutely knocks it out of the park. Southern Bastards is one to watch.
My Rating: 4.5 / 5

Today in Russian Business – Jan 24, 2012
By Citizen M | Published: January 24, 2012
Bloomberg reports on markets continuing to be spooked by the possibility of popular unrest in advance of the presidential elections. Property developer PIK Group has high hopes for revenue this year after a buoyant fourth quarter. Prime Minister Putin has pledged that Russia will spend $120 billion on restructuring the coal industry through 2030. The speaker of the Federation Council, Valentina Matviyenko, has linked corruption, which she views as 'a serious threat to viability of the state' with the nation's spiritual turpitude.

Q: PHPUnit "Mocked method does not exist." when using $mock->expects($this->at(...)) I've run into a strange issue with PHPUnit mock objects. I have a method that should be called twice, so I'm using the "at" matcher. This works for the first time the method is called, but for some reason, the second time it's called, I get "Mocked method does not exist.". I've used the "at" matcher before and have never run into this.
My code looks something like:
class MyTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    ...

    public function testThis()
    {
        $mock = $this->getMock('MyClass', array('exists', 'another_method', '...'));
        $mock->expects($this->at(0))
             ->method('exists')
             ->with($this->equalTo('foo'))
             ->will($this->returnValue(true));

        $mock->expects($this->at(1))
             ->method('exists')
             ->with($this->equalTo('bar'))
             ->will($this->returnValue(false));
    }

    ...
}

When I run the test, I get:
Expectation failed for method name is equal to <string:exists> when invoked at sequence index 1.
Mocked method does not exist.

If I remove the second matcher, I do not get the error.
Has anyone run into this before?
Thanks!

A: Try changing $this->at(1) to $this->at(2)

A: The issue ended up being with how I understood the "at" matcher to work. Also, my example was not verbatim how it is in my unit test. I thought the "at" matcher counter worked on a per query basis, where it really works on a per object instance basis.
Example:
class MyClass {

    public function exists($foo) {
        return false;
    }

    public function find($foo) {
        return $foo;
    }
}

Incorrect:
class MyTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{

    public function testThis()
    {
        $mock = $this->getMock('MyClass');
        $mock->expects($this->at(0))
             ->method('exists')
             ->with($this->equalTo('foo'))
             ->will($this->returnValue(true));

        $mock->expects($this->at(0))
             ->method('find')
             ->with($this->equalTo('foo'))
             ->will($this->returnValue('foo'));

        $mock->expects($this->at(1))
             ->method('exists')
             ->with($this->equalTo('bar'))
             ->will($this->returnValue(false));

        $this->assertTrue($mock->exists("foo"));
        $this->assertEquals('foo', $mock->find('foo'));
        $this->assertFalse($mock->exists("bar"));
    }

}

Correct:
class MyTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{

    public function testThis()
    {
        $mock = $this->getMock('MyClass');
        $mock->expects($this->at(0))
             ->method('exists')
             ->with($this->equalTo('foo'))
             ->will($this->returnValue(true));

        $mock->expects($this->at(1))
             ->method('find')
             ->with($this->equalTo('foo'))
             ->will($this->returnValue('foo'));

        $mock->expects($this->at(2))
             ->method('exists')
             ->with($this->equalTo('bar'))
             ->will($this->returnValue(false));

        $this->assertTrue($mock->exists("foo"));
        $this->assertEquals('foo', $mock->find('foo'));
        $this->assertFalse($mock->exists("bar"));
    }

}

A: This is an unfortunate wording of the error message by PHPUnit.
Double check the order of your calls, like @rr's answer mentions.
For me, as far as I know with my own code, I should be using at(0) and at(1) respectively, but it wasn't until I used at(2) and at(3) instead that it worked. (I'm using session mocking in CakePHP.)
The best way to check the order is to get 'into' the called method and check what's passed. You can do that like this:
$cakePost = $this->getMock('CakePost');
$cakePost->expects($this->once())
->method('post')
->with(
    // Add a line like this for each arg passed
    $this->callback(function($arg) {
        debug("Here's what was passed: $arg");
    })
);

A: FYI, Not sure if its related, but I encountered the same thing, but not with the $this->at() method, for me it was the $this->never() method.
This raised the error
$mock->expects($this->never())
    ->method('exists')
    ->with('arg');

This fixed the error
$mock->expects($this->never())
    ->method('exists');

It did the same thing when using the $this->exactly(0) method.
Hope this help someone.

A: As far as i can tell from the Demo code it should work. I produced a working example in case you are running an older PHPUnit Version and want to check that way if it works for you too.
In case that doesn't help maybe you could provide a bit more (at best executable) code ? :)
<?php

class MyTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{

    public function testThis()
    {
        $mock = $this->getMock('MyClass');
        $mock->expects($this->at(0))
             ->method('exists')
             ->with($this->equalTo('foo'))
             ->will($this->returnValue(true));

        $mock->expects($this->at(1))
             ->method('exists')
             ->with($this->equalTo('bar'))
             ->will($this->returnValue(false));

        $this->assertTrue($mock->exists("foo"));
        $this->assertFalse($mock->exists("bar"));
    }

}

class MyClass {

    public function exists($foo) {
        return false;
    }
}

OK (1 test, 3 assertions)

A: Are you sure you included MyClass in your test? I have had some undefined method errors when mocking a class/interface without including it.

A: May be not when question was raised however today documentation clearly specifies how the at should be used and I quote

Note
  The $index parameter for the at() matcher refers to the index, starting at zero, in all method invocations for a given mock object. Exercise caution when using this matcher as it can lead to brittle tests which are too closely tied to specific implementation details.
