Auditioning
We're looking for boys in Years 2 and 3 who love singing and are enthusiastic about music.
Contact Katie Randle who can answer any questions you may have: choristers@kings.cam.ac.uk. Alternatively you can ring the Choir Office at King's on 01223 331224.
Consider coming to meet informally with Daniel Hyde, the Director of Music.
Attend one of the audition days held a couple of times a year. The date of the next audition day will be announced later this year.
If you're considering a Choristership at King's for your son, you'll probably have lots of questions. For this reason we have always found that the best place to start is for you to contact us to arrange an informal visit. This will give you a useful opportunity to ask questions about the life of a Chorister, to meet with people here, and to look around King's College School.
An informal visit can also be a relaxed opportunity for your son to sing to Daniel Hyde, the Director of Music. If then you still wish to put your son forward, he can attend one of the audition days held a couple of times a year.
Preparing for an audition
It's important to remember that we're not looking for a fully-trained chorister at the auditions! Instead, we look for an enthusiasm for music (and, in particular, singing), reasonable concentration, and supportive family.
As part of the audition day, your son will be asked to sing something that he's prepared. This can be a simple song, even a hymn – just something he enjoys singing. All we ask is that you bring two copies of the music so that he can be accompanied on the piano.
If you contact us to sign up for an audition day, you'll also get all the information you need from us.
The audition day
We usually hold two auditions a year: one in January and one in September. See above for the next audition date.
The day begins at around 10am with an informal gathering of all the parents and boys who are taking part in the audition day. There are plenty of people who you can talk to over coffee, including some current Chorister parents, so that you can learn more about the life of a Chorister. The Director of Music, Stephen Cleobury, usually gives a short talk before the auditions start, and then your son will leave with a member of the Boarding House Staff to begin the more formal part of the day. Meanwhile, the Boarding Housemaster, Mrs Jill Etheridge, and Senior Matron will take you on a tour of the Boarding House, enabling you to ask any questions about the boarding side of being a Chorister.
Year 6 boys celebrate becoming full Choristers after two years as probationers
During your son's audition, which lasts approximately 8 - 10 minutes, he will first be asked to sing a short and simple prepared song to a small group of people, usually including Ms Lyn Alcantara (the Choristers' Singing Coach), Yvette Day (the Head), the organ scholars and Daniel Hyde. It's ideal if you can provide two copies of the music. Daniel will also ask him to do some aural tests such as clapping back a rhythm, picking notes out of a simple chord and singing back a melody played on the piano. If your son plays a musical instrument (by no means a necessity), he will be asked to play a short piece to the School's Director of Music, Mr James Randle. He will also meet Mr Colin Dely (the School's Head of the Junior School) who will ask him to do a few academic tests. In between times, he will be able to play games with the other boys taking part, overseen by one of the Boarding House staff. The morning is busy, but the boys auditioning often come away feeling very positive about their experience.
Once the formal auditions are concluded, your son will join you again, and the morning will end with a short concert, given by the current Choristers. You will then be free to go. The auditions are usually over by around 1pm, and the Head will be in touch with you within a few days.

Thursday today (21.02.2019) started with an early morning dream of Swami after a long span of time. Swami's dreams i generally keep to myself or share with few of my close ones. But this dream which i saw today the voice of within is whispering to share with all as i feel there is a Message. It was yesterday only during afternoon i felt like posting a picture of Swami with the saying "HE WHO WILL COME , WILL COME AND WILL NOT DELAY " but i dropped the thought as some work assignments came in that very moment. Neways now i want to straightaway come to the point the dream of this early morning.
My colleague, who normally does not talk much about His Return, but follows Him in his own diligent 'sadhana route' had a unique dream this early morning.
The name Jiten Thakrar would be familiar to most of the STKC readers. Brother Jiten is a Sai instrument based out of the United Kingdom, currently engaged in propagating the Global Gayathri Mantra Program, a mission assigned by the Lord Himself! Another major work of him of late is creating video documentaries capturing the Sai HIS-story. By profession, he used to be in the media industry working for media giants. Leaving behind that successful career, he has completely dedicated his life to Sai Seva, putting his media and videography background to great use by creating beautiful Sai documentaries to educate this generation of Sai devotees on Swami and His life. This work too is prompted to him by Bhagawan.
Brother Jiten has been receiving many visions and dreams of Bhagawan in His various forms, guiding him in his personal Sadhana and in his Divine work as a Sai instrument. Usually such messages are personal in nature that are not to be disclosed to all. However, he feels that the below dream needs to be shared with all STKCians, as it concerns with the return of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
Readers may recall the articles titled May the Lord's Glory illuminate this earth and This is the time for the gifts which were based on the experiences of Marie Perron. Marie has shared a few more recent powerful dream experiences that she had regarding Golden Age and Swami's Reappearance.
Sairam. I would like to share one of my dreams with you. It was night time and I was standing on a rooftop. Suddenly meteors started falling from the sky and I started to run to a safe place. Then the same dream started all over again. This time, before I started to run, I saw a huge image of Swami in the sky looking about 40 years of age, wearing red robe.
I had dream vision in the early hours of the morning on March 7, 2017.
Swami, in the form of a young (maybe 40 years old) Sathya Sai Baba, spent several hours with myself and about 20 other pure true truth aspirants. There were children and adults, friends of mine that are living, along with some who have died, all with Swami in a most divinely joyous atmosphere.
Sairam to all fellow SKTCians, I request all to take the below article only as an analysis and not as a prediction on the date of Swami's Reappearance. Only Bhagawan knows His plans and His day of Reappearance.
I feel there is a possibility of Swami's reappearance on the Smartha Ekadesi Day - December 24, 2016 Saturday - 3:32 AM up to December 25, 2016 Sunday 5:33 AM, based on the following factors.
Today in the early hours, I was blessed with a Divine promise (I trust and I believe so), indicating the time frame of our Beloved Swami's arrival, in the form of a vivid vision.
1) First one in January 2015 which is a dream related to Swamis Re-emergence.
2) Second one on November 13, 2016 which is a dream related to Reappearance.
I wanted to share three of my vivid dreams that I received on the 4th, 6th, and the 9th of November, 2016. I took some time to post them here, as I awaited the Divine approval.
Readers may recall the article posted on February 20, 2016 titled May the Lord's Glory illuminate this earth, which was based on the experiences of Marie Perron, shared with STKC by her husband Bhaktor Yvn. Marie has shared a few more recent powerful dream experiences that she had regarding Swami's Reappearance.
My name is Steve Pearce from West Australia. After reading Sister Sophia Sai's vision, I felt prompted to let you know of a dream I had on Sunday, July 24th.
I've known Swami for about 25 years and been to see Him about 16 times since February 1997. I used to get many dreams of Swami but these days they are quite rare.
I got a beautiful and astounding vision in the early hours of 21st of July 2016.
Happy Guru Purnima to all.
On this auspicious day, it gives me great joy in sharing the below vision that my Sai Sister Anu was blessed with during the wee hours of Sunday July 10th.
Before we get to the details, a little background on Anu's experience with Swami's Reappearance and STKC. In 2012 when STKC was published, I had given her a copy to read. Even though she was not inclined to the belief echoed in the book, due to my constant follow-ups, she decided to read it just to make me happy. However, after finishing the book she was overwhelmed with many questions and prayed to Bhagawan to give her a sign if the book premise was true. That night Swami came in her dream and answered that the book and its message were true. Since then she has been an enthusiastic believer in Swami's Reappearance. After that she had not received any dream related to Swami's Reappareance until now (even though she gets powerful dreams and visions of Swami quite often with messages related to her spiritual life).
On 20th February (2016) early morning, I had back-to-back dreams.
Sai Ram, I would like to share the two dreams that I had recently and I hope that they will give you strength and hope in the come-back of our beloved Master, Sai Baba.
The content of this article was shared by Bro.Sreejith's friend's daughter who has been having very profound spiritual experiences since Swami's 90th Birthday. She prefers to stay anonymous.
Ever since Swami's 90th birthday, I personally have felt within myself a great personal transformation. It wasn't a transformation that happened over a long period of time. It was as if I was one person one day, and then I slept and woke up as an entirely different individual. The transformation was quick, and swift changes have occurred not only within my thoughts but also within my spirit. My journey and destiny has been personally carved out and chiseled by Swami's hands (as is all of ours).


The Mambo is a fan of Sensis' work. This is an interesting analysis of brand relationship and purchasing power. I can't say we necessarily agree – as a company who has represented luxury brands. We are seeing many categories of luxury brands learning Hispanic loyalty can in total prove more valuable than any dollar count.
While aspirational messaging and positioning may not be a one-size-fits-all solution for every brand, it is an example of how premium brands can engage Hispanics effectively. The key is understanding the barriers faced by a brand barriers within the Hispanic market, finding that brand's shared values with the right Hispanic consumers, and using them to bridge the gap.

"Who's Your Daddy?" album cover |Photo Credits: Wikipedia
A place to lay your pretty little
Head down once in a while
You run on a little tough luck baby
Don't you sweat it
Everything is waiting inside for you
You know I got it, come and get it
Who's your daddy, who's your baby?
Who's your buddy, who's your friend?
And who's the one guy that you come runnin' to
When your love life starts tumblin'?
I got the money if you got the honey
Let's cut a deal let's make a plan
Released in 2002, "Who's Your Daddy?" was penned and originally sang by American country music artist and Oklahoman native Toby Keith. The song was the second single from Keith's 2002 album, Unleashed. Longtime friend and American musician and record producer James Stroud co-produced this with Keith himself. This three-minute song was exactly released on August 19, 2002, by the DreamWorks Label.
Right after its release in August 2002, "Who's Your Daddy?" first entered the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart at no. 60. After its debut on the chart, it went on and peaked at no. 1 the said Billboard chart. In addition, it also penetrated the Billboard Hot 100 placing no. 22 in ranking.
Moreover, the song also entered the Billboard Country Songs year-end charts both in 2002 and 2003 reaching no. 54 and no. 41, respectively.

Toby Keith revealed that he had long wanted to write "Who's Your Daddy?" for quite some years; however, he could not find the right melody the way he wanted it to be. While he was at his home in 2001, he discovered the perfect melody and by chance, came up with the right fit for the song. He later explained that the song narrates a young woman and a sugar daddy who can't get their love life into place. (Wikipedia)
In one of his interviews, Keith expressed his enthusiasm of the song as well as its warm reception:
"It's everything that I ever wanted to put into a song, it's got the groove, it's got the attitude, it's humorous, it's about a sugar daddy. And it's got a real funny little Elvis thing in it, like 'Viva Las Vegas'… it's got a New Orleans piano in it. You should have seen the band light up when we cut that, they didn't want to quit that groove, it was just an unbelievable groove."
On the other hand, James Stroud who is Keith's friend and producer agreed and confirmed the band's enthusiasm. He stated:
"That song was about 10 minutes long, we let the tape run. Of course the cut on the album is not (that long), but they just played it and played it and had a great time."

Q: Best way to keep textarea synced with server text file Hi I'm making a simple application where users can type information into a text area and not have to worry about saving it or losing it. I'm using jquery/javascript to detect changes to text area, then using ajax to send the value to php for writing to server. I have some a basic "busy" lock to prevent overlapping ajax. However, I'm finding that it is slightly unreliable. Is there a better way to do this?
var busy = false;

function save () {
if(busy === false) {
    busy = true;
    var content = $('#text').val();
    var file = 'store.txt';
    $.get("storecontent.php", { content_fromjq: content, file_fromjq: file})
    .done(function(data) {

    busy = false;
    });
}
}

$('#text').bind('input propertychange', function() {
save();
});

PHP:
if (isset($_GET['content_fromjq'])) {

$content = $_GET['content_fromjq'];
$file = $_GET['file_fromjq'];

$html = new DOMDocument();
$html->loadHTMLFile($file);
$html->getElementById('content')->nodeValue = $content;
$html->saveHTMLFile($file);

}

A: Here what i would do : http://jsfiddle.net/z4rjQ/
Save a listener for when the text change that call this function :
function checkSave(){
    clearTimeout(timer);
    timer = setTimeout(save, 5000);
}

This function clear the timer and set an other one.
In other word, there is no save until the user didnt press a key for 5 sec (adjustable).
That will allow you to not send thousand of ajax save but send one after he finished typing something.

Microsoft devised its Partner Apprenticeship programme in 2008 to provide an alternative route into a career in ICT as well as meeting the requirements of its network of over 33,000 UK business partners. It has been running nationally for over 3 years, is a Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship awarded by City & Guilds, and has placed over 3,700 apprentices into the national ICT workforce. The vast majority of these roles are within Microsoft's Partner Network (MPN) which includes companies that support, develop and resell Microsoft technologies. They are all independent of Microsoft, range in size from micro to global and are located across the UK.
Working with Baltic Apprenticeships, Microsoft has developed a unique programme specifically aimed at returning Service personnel. Utilising Baltic's multi-award winning, Ofsted 'Outstanding' training, the programme is designed to let you spend more time on the IT frontline and less time in the training room.
We can provide you with the qualifications that demonstrate to employers that you have a strong grasp of the IT knowledge and theory required to do your job, and that you can put it into practice at work.
The programme lasts one year minimum and apprentices are employed from day one. The Microsoft Partner Apprenticeship is regarded as the 'flagship' of Microsoft's employment initiatives, from the previous initiative, Britain Works to its current one, Get On.

Referee Spotlight Michelle Watkins
Referee Spotlight: Michelle Watkins
Michelle Watkins talks ambitions as an official, proud moments, Football.v.Homophobia and more…
In this month's Referee Spotlight, in association with REFSIX, we spoke to Level 5 match official, Michelle Watkins.
It has been an all-encompassing journey for Michelle in football having taken on just about every role you can at grassroots level.
Before first qualifying as a referee in 2013, we have to go back even further for Michelle's first real taste of grassroots football, and it began in a similar way to most volunteers getting into the game.
"Like many referees it began as a football parent, my son was part of a team that needed help, so I became a coach and did my FA Level 1.
"My son, Ciaran, actually became a referee first at the age of 14. I followed him around and watched him and was very impressed.
"When I was growing up I never gave football a second thought to be honest with you. When I used to see my Dad watching football my thoughts would be 'oh my god how boring!'
"But, when Ciaran's team Highdown Saints (now Littlehampton Town Youth), needed help I stepped in and everything changed. It was youth football, going into 11-a-side and I just hit the books.
"The club I was with put me through my FA Level 1 which was fantastic. You get to meet all these people with all these experiences."
"You get to meet all these people with all these experiences."
For Michelle, it wasn't long before the football bug has taken a hold of her, and it's fair to say she hasn't look back since.
"I'd give structured training to these kids and they wanted to come back and that's what kept me doing it. I know what it can be like coaching and managing, it can be a thankless job!
"But it's the look on those kids faces which brings you as a coach back every week. In the end I was not only managing but also became secretary of the club.
"Because of the admin side of things and interacting with leagues and Sussex County FA, I was learning a lot more about football and all the politics of it all!"
Whilst coaching was an early passion for Michelle within football, she was about to discover her niche was going to be in a slightly different role on the football field.
"After managing under-18s I decided I didn't want to go into adult football. I started lining because in youth football it's hard to get someone to run the line!
"The best bit about helping out, doing the line, when you're manager, is that it stopped me from shouting!
"When I got into the laws of it more, it was really interesting to see the referee encouraging the laws of the game, especially in youth football.
"I liked feeling as part of a team, and I started to like the idea of watching the football rather than shouting and being on that side of things, so I decided I wouldn't go into managing adult football and I thought I'd become a referee instead.
"You always see the referee get the blunt end of everything. I'm no angel! I've said things to referees that I didn't agree with, so I knew what it was going to be like."
Michelle (right) wants to become an ambassador for women & girls.
It can be a daunting prospect when starting as a referee, for anyone. Michelle, though, never let this get in her way.
"I refereed for a couple of years at youth level but then decided to go into men's football. I haven't gone back to youth because I find adult football more entertaining.
"Going into adult football it's hard because you know adults are going to be more aggressive than what you might get in youth football, but you just have to have strong shoulders!
"I'm not saying you have to take abuse because of course you shouldn't, and I certainly don't. As a referee you have power to discipline and sort these problems out.
"My main worry when I first started was how I was going to deal with abuse. My mentor was Paul Barratt who is a no-nonsense guy, so I learnt from him!
"That's what a referee has got to do really, be strong. At the end of the day, the referee controls the game and the players, it's all about management."
As well as the male game, Michelle has experienced officiating on women's football, finding it an equally enjoyable experience, and the women's referee pathway is something she wants to continue.
"Since I first qualified in 2013, I have gone for a promotion twice. I went up to Level 6 and did my women's pathway at the same time going to Level 4.
"Two years ago, I went for Level 5 in men's football which I passed so I'm currently a Level 5 in men's and now Level 3 in women's football.
"I now want to go for Level 2 in women's football, but I may have a set back with that if the seasons are voided. But hopefully I can be back on track with that next season!"
It's always inspiring to speak with people like Michelle who want to better themselves, and ultimately see how far you can take a dream. For her, that dream starts and ends in one place.
"I always want to push myself and the goal for me would be to officiate in The FA Women's Championship or even The FA Women's Super League, that would be my ultimate ambition.
"I watch these officials on The FA Player, and I want to be them; I want to be that person holding a flag, I want to be that person holding a whistle. That's what keeps me going, hoping that I can reach that goal.
"I would also really love to do a Sussex County FA Women's Cup Final, with other female officials, that is something that I think would be a great goal for the County FA too!
"I'd love to become an ambassador for women & girls' referees. I've been contacted recently by The FA regarding women observers so I'm hoping to get onto that.
Those dreams came a small step closer when Michelle was asked to officiate on The FA Women's National League which she describes as a "very proud moment". Her development as a referee, she puts down to a strong support network she has had access to.
"I've had so much help; especially from the Sussex County FA. Paul Jeffery is a lovely bloke and he's always got my back and I really consider him a friend.
"I've had many people from Sussex County FA help me along the way, even back when I was doing my coaching, and I was over the moon to be asked to be part of the development group for referees during my promotion season.
"I had the likes of Phil Wilks as my coach, and Steve Hughes as a personal coach, who are two terrific guys and very encouraging.
"I owe a lot to Sussex County FA and my coaches, because they're the ones that encourage me to want to do more. Of course, things are tough right now with the COVID situation, but it still doesn't stop me from wanting to move forward."
"I watch these officials on the FA Player, and I want to be them; I want to be that person holding a flag, I want to be that person holding a whistle."
It is fascinating to listen to Michelle, as she describes how football, something she didn't even think would be one of her hobbies when she was younger, has now become her dream to pursue.
"When I started refereeing, I thought I'd just stay at Level 7 and do youth football, but, when I first got asked to do men's football, I relished the challenge of it.
"I love going to different places, different games, different standards, and I just want to see how far I can take this. I really enjoy it and I know a lot of people don't. I also know a lot do it for the money and I certainly don't do it for the money, I do it for my fitness and because I really enjoy doing it!
"I love being challenged on the football field and doing the high-profile games because that for me is where it's at. It's a good feeling being tested in that environment.
"I know some people shy away from being challenged and I don't think you get it as much in youth football. You can only get it from going higher and higher."
Michelle says she's been "lucky" not to receive any notable abuse in her time as an official and fortunately for her, the most criticism she receives comes from a little closer to home.
"My son has always been my biggest critic, I've had to do some of his adult games and he lets me know what he thinks about my performance afterwards. But I like Ciaran watching me ref, even though it's quite stressful, especially when he knows the laws of the game as well!
It's a thought-provoking discussion to have with Michelle about being a referee and whether female officials are more subject to prejudice. Michelle does fall into two minorities within football, but quite rightly, she believes this hasn't and shouldn't ever make a difference.
"I thought at first I might get a few comments about me being female, but I haven't had any at all. I've actually found with men's football that they seem to be more relaxed and behaved around me.
"I actually overheard a lad say, 'oh we've got a female ref today, better be on our best behaviour!' I'm stood there like 'why? What difference does it make!?'"
"Me personally, as a female and gay referee, I've had no issues about being in that minority but maybe that's just my game management and the rapport I have with the players."
February is Football.v.Homophobia (FvH) month and Michelle is keen to support the campaign however she can, having officiated in the past on our annual friendlies with Brighton Lesbian and Gay Sports Society (BLAGSS).
"It's a really great campaign, I love refereeing the Sussex County FA games against BLAGSS and it is a great way to help promote such an important campaign. I'm really pleased with the support that it gets and being a gay person myself I want to be a part of anything like that."
The proud and positive moments for Michelle are luckily what she can reel off. Between the multiple promotions she's achieved and officiating The FA Women's National League, there are several other accolades she's very proud of.
"I've had some very proud moments. When I was a Level 7 I was asked to do a South East County Women's Cup Final at Maidstone United. I was very chuffed with that! It was a great final and I got some really good feedback from some senior referees.
"In the 2016/17 season I received Referee of the Year from South East Counties women's football which of course I was so happy about. I was presented the award by Angela Bennett who was the referee secretary for that league. So, to get a cup final and receive referee of the year, it was a fantastic period of my life.
Michelle is also a user of our official partners, REFSIX, and believes the new technology makes her job a lot easier.
"REFSIX is absolutely fantastic it is so helpful because people can send their team sheets to you and you download it straight to your watch and off you go.
"It's a brilliant app to have for any referee. It logs everything and keeps names there if you do that team again and it's just so helpful.
"It's such a weight off your shoulders. I thought at first, being part of the older generation, that I couldn't go from a book to a watch but the first time I did it was great, and I've never looked back."
"I'm really pleased with the support that it gets (FvH) and being a gay person myself I want to be a part of anything like that."
So, what next for Michelle Watkins? Her story can certainly inspire anyone, and to see the drive and ambition in how she speaks suggests there are no limits to what she can achieve, and she has her sights firmly set on the next promotion.
"I have applied for promotion to Women's Level 2. It's been going really well; I've done about a third of my games and had an observation. But I have a feeling I might not get any more games this season if its scrubbed off due to COVID.
"It's always nerve-wracking being observed and being watched for a purpose. But as I've said before, any comments are good for me and I can learn from them.
"My last observation could've been better, but I've taken that on the chin, and I aim to improve for the next one whenever that may be..."
Rounding off what has been a great story to tell, Michelle added words of advice for aspiring match officials: "It's a great experience. It's very liberating to do and it gives you a lot of confidence. Even if you don't think you have the confidence you always have people backing you from Sussex County FA onwards, so I say go and do it."

September 11th National Memorial Trail chooses Executive Director, opens new trail segments
With the anniversary this week, it seems like an opportune time to talk about the September 11th National Memorial Trail, the trail - or network of trails that connect the three 9/11 crash sites. Naturally, it passes through the DC area on the way to the Pentagon, going through Virginia, Maryland and DC. Last week they announced that they'd chosen their first ever Executive Director.
This week, Thomas "Tom" Baxter IV, one of the developers of the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, which traces the banks of Pittsburgh's rivers, was named executive director of the September 11th National Memorial Trail.
Technically, the trail exists as a patchwork of previously developed trail segments and secondary, less-traveled roads in seven states — West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Maryland and Virginia — and the District of Columbia.
It's not all existing trail and so some new trails will be built, but not in the DC area.
A ...priority is a trail connecting the Great Allegheny Passage (a 150-mile long rail-to-trail) in Garrett, Somerset County, to the Flight 93 Memorial, which is expected in the next two years.
In Pennsylvania, currently about 60 percent of the September 11 trail route uses the roadway and 40 percent are pathways.
The goal is to develop more trails and use less road.
More than 500 miles of the September 11th National Memorial Trail will wind through the state, making it the state's longest recreational trail when complete, according to Kent Taylor, a DCNR natural resource program specialist
Baxter spent 14 years with the Friends of the Riverfront, the nonprofit that developed the Three Rivers Heritage Trail. It attracts more than 800,000 visitors a year and has an $8 million economic impact with purchases of food, bicycles, clothing and other products, according to trail-user surveys.
"We took a localized trail and made it the center spoke in a regional mega trail, including the Great Allegheny Passage," he said.A
And then on Monday, Shanksville cut the ribbon on a new 21-mile segment of trail, Randolph, NJ unveiled the first trail blaze for the system, and Bucks County issued a proclamation in favor of the trail.

Q: C++ ambiguous constructor when using typedefs Are there any elegant solutions to the following problem involving ambiguous types when overloading functions in C++? I want to have two different types: "distance" and "angle" which semantically mean different things but which may in fact have the same type. When trying to do this in C++ I run up against issues with function overloading:
typedef float distance;
typedef float angle;

class Velocity {
public:
    Velocity(distance dx, distance dy) { /* impl */ }
    Velocity(angle theta, distance magnitude) { /* impl */ }
};

When I try to compile this, I get "constructor cannot be redeclared". However (for some reason I cannot figure out) when I'm doing this in my actual application code base the class compiles but later on I get a "call to constructor of 'Velocity' is ambiguous" when I'm doing something like this:
distance dx;
distance dy;
Velocity v(dx, dy);

Are there any elegant solutions to this problem? One unsatisfactory solution would be to just change the type of one of these quantities
typedef double distance;

but that clearly doesn't scale since there are only a few different floating point types. Another option that I experimented with was using templates
template <typename distance, typename angle>
class Velocity {
public:
    Velocity(distance dx, distance dy) : dx(dx), dy(dy) {  }
    Velocity(angle theta, distance magnitude) { }
};

but then I get "multiple overloads of 'Velocity' instantiate to the same signature 'void (float, float)'" if I instantiate them with the same type. Even if this worked it would still be a bit unsatisfactory since I would have to add template arguments to Velocity types in many places.

A: typedef does not create a new type, it just creates an alias for the type with a different name and possibly in a different namespace, similar to using.
As a result both your constructors are effectively float, float.
If you want to create an actual new type, you could create a new struct or class containing that type. The C++ chrono types such as std::chrono::seconds wrapping an integer. Doing so also allows more specific overloads, for example you might have say displacement = velocity * time, although doing so can quickly require many types and operator overloads.
Also be careful when overloading for say float and double, I would certainly never do it such that they have different meanings. Consider what happens to literals like 0 and 1, or implicit conversions of types like int.

A: You can create a very light-weight wrapper around distance and angle, and then use literals!
struct Distance {
    double value;
};
struct Angle {
    double value;
};

class Velocity {
   public:
    Velocity(Distance dx, Distance dy) { /* impl */ }
    Velocity(Angle theta, Distance magnitude) { /* impl */ }
};

Then, you can wrap values when constructing Velocity:
// Create by distance
Velocity v1(Distance{5.0}, Distance{10.0});
// Create by angle
Velocity v2(Angle{1.5}, Distance{1.0});

We can also provide user-defined literals so that you can write v1 and v2 like this:
Velocity v1(5.0_meters, 10.0_meters);
Velocity v2(60.0_degrees, 10.0_meters);

Writing a user-defined literal is pretty simple:
Distance operator ""_meters(double value) {
    return Distance{value};
}
Angle operator ""_degrees(double value) {
    return Angle{value / 180.0 * PI};
}

A: Yes, you need different types in order to have overloads.
One solution is not to have an overload by changing the function names.
The other is to create your custom type by creating a class or a struct that wraps the floats.
You can then overload some operators to achieve the desired behavior but in my opinion, is best to change the names of the functions

Q: I can't make wildcard work in CSS3 I have this html:

    <input class="orderrow-1" type="text"></input>
    <input class="orderrow-2" type="text"></input>

and this css:
input[class^='orderrow-']
{
    border: 1px solid #e2e2e2;
    color: #333;
    font-size: 1em;
    margin: 5px 5px 6px 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    width: 100px;
    text-align: right;
}

I try to style all input fields with a class that begins with 'orderrow-' but above doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Edit: Sorry, above does work. The problem is that I have two casses. Like this:

    <input class="trigger orderrow-1" type="text"></input>
    <input class="trigger orderrow-2" type="text"></input>

The selector doesn't work when there is something before orderrow-1. Ideas?

A: The problem is that your using a prefix match ^= which means it will match the value of the class attribute (which includes ALL class names) which begin with orderrow- The actual value of the class attribute it 'trigger orderrow-2' if you want a wildcard selector the specification reccomends this: *= it looks for a value that contains the string at any point.
example:
input[class ^="orderrow-"], input[class *=" orderrow-"]
{
    border: 1px solid #e2e2e2;
    color: #333;
    font-size: 1em;
    margin: 5px 5px 6px 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    width: 100px;
    text-align: right;
}

input.orderrow-1 {
    border: 1px solid #F00;
}

it is important to note that because attributes selectors and clas selectors have the same specificity you should place the overribe below the attribute to ensure proper cascadence* of the styles (as per my example - jsfiddle).
EDIT: as per comments to use more precise selectors in the example.
docs see the docs for the three different wildcard selector.
*I sometimes make up words, but so long as you get my meaning...

A: it should be fine check out my code pen test of various css3 pseudo classes here http://codepen.io/jamiepaterson/pen/cADfs
The one you want is the purple text color on this test.

Products Liability and Mobile Apps
March 6, 2019 by Adam Page
Our increasingly connected world is dominated by mobile apps. We use these apps for everything from waking up in the morning to ordering food. They have become so critical to our daily lives that when they malfunction, they can disrupt our entire routine. Depending on the nature of the malfunction, the disruption can even be harmful. Sometimes, even when the app is used as intended, people get hurt. The nature of apps makes it legally challenging at times to determine liability and what duties and obligations fall upon the creators of apps.
Injuries in App Usage
Two and a half years ago, the application Pokemon Go was released. This app encouraged users to track down digitally generated creatures in an augmented reality environment. Unfortunately, the locations tended to bring users onto private property in pursuit of rare breeds, and sometimes even incentivize rushing out into oncoming traffic. The interactive nature of these apps leads one to wonder at the duties the app makers have to warn users against rash action.
More recently, a motor-scooter company referred to as "Lime" has come under fire for providing misleading information about the use of its motor scooters. The company provides rental scooters to users – allowing them to take the scooter from many various locations around their hometown and use them in place of other transportation options. They warn users to not use them on sidewalks – but in Fort Lauderdale such use is legal.
This confusion over the lawful use led to several users getting hit by cars while operating the scooters. The question of legal liability for the company has been raised as a consequence – if a person is misinformed by an app over proper use due to local law, and that confusion leads to injury (even if the injury was caused by a third party), is the app legally liable?
What Warnings Are Apps Required to Provide?
Many apps give warnings to customers regarding their use. These warnings include simple instructions on how to use and even alerts such as 'do not use while driving.' There have been pushes by consumer advocacy groups to require apps to offer more warnings, though poorly timed notifications might distract users while they're driving.
In general, though, the onus remains largely on the user to ignore distractions and not allow themselves to be exposed to dangerous situations while making use of an app.
So What is the Law?
The law really depends on the situation, as in almost every case. Right now, the main focus of the law is on medical apps that provide health advice and guidance. This is because these apps have a clear potential to cause harm and misleading or inaccurate information could directly cause injury and death. There is also substantial case law and statutes regulating medical devices. However, it is expected that as mobile apps become more prevalent, so will lawsuits over the distractions that these apps create for their users.
If you've been injured as a result of a distracting or misleading mobile app, your best bet is to get in touch with a qualified personal injury attorney for a consultation on your case. If the circumstances of your particular injury hold the app maker legally liable, then your attorney can help you recover damages you deserve.

После окончания семи классов школы работал сначала в сельском хозяйстве, затем слесарем в Туле. Занимался в аэроклубе. В декабре 1939 года Харитонов был призван на службу в Рабоче-крестьянскую Красную Армию. В 1941 году он окончил Таганрогскую военную авиационную школу лётчиков. С начала Великой Отечественной войны — на её фронтах. В июле 1942 года Харитонов окончил Высшую школу лётчиков и штурманов АДД СССР.

К июлю 1944 года гвардии старший лейтенант Николай Харитонов командовал звеном 2-го гвардейского авиаполка 1-й гвардейской авиадивизии 1-го гвардейского авиакорпуса АДД СССР. К тому времени он совершил 241 боевой вылет на бомбардировку важных объектов противника в его глубоком тылу.

Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР от 19 августа 1944 года за «мужество и героизм, проявленные в боях с немецкими захватчиками» гвардии старший лейтенант был удостоен высокого звания Героя Советского Союза с вручением ордена Ленина и медали «Золотая Звезда» за номером 4418.

После окончания войны Харитонов продолжил службу в Советской Армии. В 1947 году он окончил Рязанскую высшую офицерскую школу Дальней авиации.

Q: how to debug golang cobra cli app in vscode I have a golang cobra cli app. have configured my vscode for debugging. I want to debug a specific command using vscode for my application.
I am using this launch.json
        {
            "name": "Launch Package",
            "type": "go",
            "request": "launch",
            "mode": "debug",
            "program": "${fileDirname}"
        }

If I select main.go and start debugging it just prints the help for my command. How can I debug a particular cli subcommand in vscode? Like say abc create or abc version
If I select a subcommand package and then debug it says : Failed to launch :could not launch process:not an executalbe file

A: You can configure the VSCode launch configuration to pass arguments using:
        {
            "name": "Launch Package",
            "type": "go",
            "request": "launch",
            "mode": "debug",
            "program": "${fileDirname}"
            "args": ["arg1", ...]
        }

Note that you may prefer to write the path to your main go file in the program field so that you can run/debug no matter what file you are currently on.

What are your rights if something goes wrong?
What are your rights if something goes wrong with the holiday you booked through a travel agent?
When you book a plane ticket or a hotel room, your contract is with the airline or hotel. The travel agent who handles the bookings has the job of arranging the contract.
Make sure your agent knows your requirements. If you have special needs, put them in writing and keep a copy for yourself. If you amend your plans, let the agent know in writing.
Be sure to read all the small print on brochures and always ask about the booking conditions before you sign anything or hand over money. Check all your documents as soon as you get them.
Make sure you have suitable travel insurance.
If you're away, contact the nearest representative of the tour operator and give them the opportunity to rectify the situation at the time. If you're not satisfied, let them know, and follow it up when you get home.
Make notes about any problems you want to take up and, if it's appropriate, take photos and get the contact details of others who will support your case. Keep receipts and any documentation that will help with a claim for compensation.
Write to the agent, wholesaler or tourist operator directly and give then the opportunity to put things right. Include copies of all relevant receipts and other documents.
If you think you are due compensation, add up how much the problem cost you in real terms and estimate the value of lost opportunities.
If you cannot reach a settlement with the company, write to TAANZ. It doesn't pay compensation, but it may reprimand the agent if there has been a breach of its code of ethics or rules.
If the company still won't pay, take your case to a Disputes Tribunal. This is relatively cheap and there are no lawyers involved.
You paid in advance for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in Patagonia, but the airline never got the money and now the agent has gone out of business. Can you get your money back?
TAANZ will pay up to $250,000 for unticketed bookings if a member agency goes bust.
Yes, if you booked with a bonded member of the Travel Agents Association of New Zealand (TAANZ). But probably not, if your agent is not bonded.
TAANZ will pay up to $250,000 for unticketed bookings if a member agency goes bust. This would cover all or most outstanding ticket monies. But note that TAANZ won't pay for bad service. Some agents have their own bond schemes, but most belong to the TAANZ system.
With an unbonded agent, you will have to stand in line as an unsecured creditor, and you'll be lucky to see any of your money at all.
You have booked and paid the deposit on a holiday package to Belfast. But now the agent says it's wonderful what peace will do for a country's tourism, and wouldn't you know it, the price has gone up. Do you have to pay the extra?
Probably. When you paid the deposit you formed a contract with the wholesaler or tour company, and this will have included your acceptance of the booking conditions. Most agents and wholesalers reserve the right in their conditions to pass on price increases.
But they must give you the chance to read the conditions before you sign. If they don't make you aware of them, or lead you to think there will be no price increase and then charge you one, they are at fault. You shouldn't have to pay the extra.
At the end of a very tiring week in Beijing you arrive at the airport and, even though you phoned to reconfirm your flight as required, you discover you've been "bumped". There's no seat for you. What can you do?
This has nothing to do with your travel agent. Airlines know some travellers won't turn up so they often overbook planes. It's their responsibility and there are international agreements set in place as to what they must do for you. In this case they should make arrangements for further flights, accommodate you and compensate you for any losses you incur.
You probably won't get anything if the delay is short, but if that missed Beijing flight means you miss the Hong Kong connection to Auckland as well, the airline will have to sort it out.
You're going to treat yourself to a week in the sun in New Caledonia, but right after you pay the deposit, your car dies. You need a car; you don't need the holiday. Can you get your money back?
It depends on your contract. Most specify there will be a cancellation fee and how much it will be. Very often you will lose all your deposit. Some contracts are so tough, if you cancel close to your departure date you will lose most of what you have paid for the fare.
Always check the contract before you book. Your travel agent should point out the cancellation details to you at the time of booking and suggest travel insurance if appropriate.
Your hotel bookings in London's West End are confirmed, but when you arrive with your voucher the proprietor says the hotel is full. He sends you to another he owns near Battersea. It's still London, but it's nowhere near the theatres and restaurants you had so wanted to be close to. What can you do?
Again, this is not your agent's fault. You will have to do your fighting with the hotel or, if the accommodation is part of a tour package, with the wholesaler who runs the package. Check the booking conditions of your tour as some reserve the right to change accommodation and tour details as necessary.
You have prepaid your ferry ticket to your Greek island resort but when you arrive at the ferry you discover you have no voucher for it. You haven't misplaced it, the agent didn't give you one. What can you do?
You'll have to pay again. But keep the receipt and claim the fare back from your travel agent when you get home.
You book a holiday in Thailand intending to go diving. You made your intentions very clear to the agent, to the point of asking about the hire of diving gear. But when you arrive you discover it is the monsoon season, there are no dive trips running and that this is normal for this time of the year.
If you have made your intentions clear to the agent, they have not performed their job with reasonable skill and care. Nor have they provided you with a holiday that was "fit for its purpose". You can claim compensation. But if they advised you against the trip and you ignored this, the responsibility is yours.
You want to take the family to Vanuatu, and ask the agent to check whether childcare is available. In your presence he rings the wholesaler, who says it is always available. But when get there, you discover the childcare programme only runs in the peak season. This is not the peak season. Who is responsible?
The wholesaler. You should try for compensation.
You have booked and prepaid a rental car in France. When you turn up, you are met with a wall of Gallic shrugs. The company, it seems, has gone bust. What can you do?
Call your travel insurer. If the car-hire firm went out of business after you confirmed your arrangements, they should compensate you for alternative arrangements and may even make them for you.
If your agent booked you with a company that was already out of business, it will have to pick up the tab.
The agent tells you your departure tax has been included in the cost of your air ticket. But your ticket doesn't show this and the friendly but very firm staff at the airport insist you pay again. What can you do?
Pay, or they won't let you on the plane. Make sure you keep your receipt and claim from the agent when you return.
You thought travel agents worked for the airlines and hotels. So how come they want to charge you a fee?
Travel agents are paid on commission by the companies selling travel and accommodation. But many of those commissions have fallen recently, and some agents are making up for this by charging customers directly.
This changes their legal responsibility. If you pay for advice, for bookings to be made or tickets issued, the agent will have more direct liability if something goes wrong.
You asked a travel agent to get you to Europe and it turns out the best deal involves a stopover in China. When you get there you are not allowed in the country because you don't have a visa. Shouldn't the travel agent have sorted this?
You should always double-check that you have the right visa to enter, travel and/or work in the country you are headed to. This is primarily your responsibility. However, if you asked the agent to specifically sort this out for you, then make a claim for compensation from the agent.
hi a friend and I have just 'used' Flight Centre for our holiday in Bali. We have a number of small 'complaints which we wonder are due to them not being paid - only getting commission on their bookings? They: booked me insurance I didnt want at twice the price I gained insurance on line; they quoted prices for tours and transfers higher than their own booklet; they failed to tell us about departure tax from Bali; they didnt/couldnt book us seats on the flights. I wonder how they compare to other travel agents?
Please let me know if it still isn't working for you, and we can offer some technical tips.

title: From practice at Lawson
---

We had a great practice today with extra accompaniment on the little organ.

### Ordinaries

The first things to learn are the ordinary parts of the Mass.

[Here is a one page sheet in modern notation of the sung responses](http://www.ccwatershed.org/pdfs/5621-responses-traditional-latin-mass/download/)

Then, you can find the Asperges, Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Agnus Dei and Credo [here at St Antoine Daniel Kyriale](http://www.ccwatershed.org/kyriale/)

1. Asperges is at the top of the page.
2. Next scroll down to Mass XI Orbis Factor and you have Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus and Agnus Dei.
3. Lastly, scroll down further to Credo I.

If you've got all that you are doing well!  Ideally everyone in the congregation would be singing all those parts.  Go to [Maternal Heart, Lewisham](http://www.maternalheart.org) to see this in action.  We do have a fairly good number singing along at Lawson/Wentworth Falls though, but Maternal Heart is always worth a visit.

### Propers

Here are the propers especially for Sunday 9th August:

* Introit [Deus in loco, mp3]({{ site.url }}/audio/pente11/in-deusinloco.mp3) and [sheet music pdf here](http://www.ccwatershed.org/pdfs/dcef_int_11th_sun_pentecost/download/)
* [Gradual and Alleluia mp3]({{ site.url }}/audio/pente11/gradalle.mp3) and all three pieces [Gradual, Alleluia and Offertory on one pdf sheet here]({{ site.url }}/pdf/pente11/gradalleoff.pdf)
* [Offertory mp3]({{ site.url }}/audio/pente11/offertory.mp3)
* [Communion mp3]({{ site.url }}/audio/pente11/communio.mp3) and [sheet music pdf here](http://www.ccwatershed.org/pdfs/dcef_com_11th_sun_pentecost/download/)

### Extras (or dessert pieces)

[**Panis Angelicus by Claudio Casciolini**][1] - another three part motet.

Here are some computer-generated recordings to help with learning the tune:

* [all voices]({{ site.url }}/audio/Casc-prac.mp3)
* [soprano louder]({{ site.url }}/audio/Casc-sop-prac.mp3)
* [alto louder]({{ site.url }}/audio/Casc-alt-prac.mp3)
* [bass louder]({{ site.url }}/audio/Casc-bas-prac.mp3)

Next-generation technology to relieve the pain of hospital bed shortage
by Nick Ismail 6 April 2017
Uber drivers are being trained to drive elderly patients home from hospital in an attempt to tackle the shortage of beds. However, this isn't the only way in which Uber-like technology is being implemented to maintain high standards of face-to-face treatment and revolutionise traditional healthcare business models.
With UK hospitals experiencing an extreme shortage of beds, it is important to place focus on the delivery of service to patients through the use of new and innovative digital solutions.
Health officials say patients recover faster if they are cared for in their own homes by GPs, district nurses, and carers. However, many healthcare institutions do not have the resources to care for patients who would previously have needed to extend their stay in hospital.
>See also: The next necessary step in healthcare: remote mobile solutions
The demand for beds is rising due to the pressures of an ageing population, with many more patients suffering from long-term illnesses. However, harnessing the power of next-generation technology generates a resolute staffing model which can improve the nursing allocation process and bring them to the homes of patients who can no longer remain hospitalised.
Increasing nurse utilisation and reducing staff scheduling allows hospitals and GP surgeries to direct the most appropriate support to each patient's individual needs, and this is something that automation apps can systematise.
Such apps can schedule appointments with nurses based on their proximity to the patient, matches medical speciality to the patient's need, and then schedules their best matched nurse to visit the patient at home.
>See also: Transforming healthcare with tech
Ultimately, technology like this is playing a fundamental role in transforming the future of healthcare in its ability to improve outcomes, utilise staff more efficiently, and change the way doctors think about providing care.
While there are challenges to technology in healthcare, its potential uses include advanced analytics and robots that have the ability to provide medication alerts and schedule patient appointments.
Using a single digital interface provides health professionals with detailed reports of a patient's health in just one click. In terms of managing data, UK healthcare has largely been paper driven, which makes the process of filtering, storing and analysing patient data a complex and time-consuming task.
This has catalysed the need to reduce costs and drive efficiency by using advanced digital solutions to read and hold data, making it less prone to human error and reducing the risk of delayed treatment.
>See also: Data-driven mental healthcare solving the crisis?
In addition to this, the nursing community are constantly working to execute a firm and efficient strategy to alleviate the pressures of a lack of beds, which results in overcrowded wards.
Automation solutions provide the opportunity for nurses to have a flexible part-time working schedule, whilst maintaining and even boosting income. By relieving the pressures that nurses currently face, healthcare will become more patient-centric, therefore improving quality of care and heightening patient satisfaction.
By implementing real-time digital solutions that boost efficiency, patients will receive the treatment that is appropriate to them from the comfort of their own home.

William & Mary students win national debt-awareness contest
By By Ryan McKinnon
Mar 30, 2016 | 4:46 PM
Sruveera Sathi, Aastha Uprety, Arjun Rastogi, Octavia Goodman, Merci Best and Sudeep Kalkunte - members of William & Mary's first-place "Up To Us" team (Sruveera Sathi)
The College of William and Mary took home first place in a 53-school competition for raising awareness about the national debt.
The competition, "Up To Us," challenged teams of students to create public-awareness campaigns during February that would educate millennials on the national debt.
The competition was sponsored by the the Peter G. Peterson Foundation in partnership with the Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) and Net Impact.
The William & Mary team presented at the DEFx Conference (Defense Entrepreneurs Forum), hosted an event for millennial innovators to address the topic and staged "The Great Debt-bate," where representatives from four different political parties debated how to best tackle the national debt.
With its victory, the William & Mary team wins $10,000 and will be recognized by Bill Clinton at this year's Clinton Global Initiative University, held at University of California, Berkeley on April 1-3.
The team will also be invited to attend the Peter G. Peterson Foundation's 2016 Fiscal Summit in Washington D.C. and meet with think tanks and economists.


The Grand Summit Conference Center boasts more than 15,000 square feet of flexible meeting and banquet space, allowing you to host groups ranging in size from 5 to 500. The Kokopelli Grand Ballroom measures nearly 5,967 square feet divisible into three sections. The White Pine Ballroom measures over 1,620 square feet and may be divided into two equal breakout rooms. We also offer four additional breakout rooms (507 square feet each) that are ideal for small group sessions and meetings. The Conference Center also offers a generous lobby with private entrance and an expansive registration and reception area to welcome your guests. For more information, please visit our website Meet in Park City or call a Conference Center agent at 888-591-5138.

FDA approves Jazz's Defitelio for hepatic veno-occlusive disease
The FDA granted marketing approval for Jazz Pharmaceutical's Defitelio (defibrotide sodium) for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with hepatic Veno-Occlusive Disease (VOD), also known as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), with renal or pulmonary dysfunction following Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplantation (HSCT).
"FDA's approval of Defitelio underscores the importance of Defitelio to children and adults as the first and only proven treatment for this rare and often deadly complication of stem-cell transplantation. Defitelio is a clinically significant therapeutic advance because it is a potentially curative intervention for patients with VOD, which may save lives with a single course of therapy. Before today, patients in the U.S. had no approved options," said Bruce Cozadd, chairman and chief executive officer of Jazz Pharmaceuticals. "The commercial availability of Defitelio in the U.S. demonstrates Jazz Pharmaceuticals' continued commitment to bringing meaningful new treatments to patients to fill high unmet medical needs."
The FDA approval of Defitelio is supported by efficacy data from three clinical studies in patients with hepatic VOD with renal or pulmonary dysfunction following HSCT who were treated with Defitelio at the recommended 6.25mg/kg every six hours; results are provided in the table below.
The safety of Defitelio to support approval is based on data from 176 patients in the clinical development program for the treatment of VOD with renal and/or pulmonary dysfunction following HSCT who were treated with Defitelio. The most common adverse reactions (incidence 10% and independent of causality) with Defitelio treatment were hypotension (low blood pressure), diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and epistaxis (nose bleeds). The most common serious adverse reactions (incidence 5% and independent of causality) were hypotension (11%) and pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage (7%).
"VOD/SOS is a devastating condition, which can develop without warning after stem-cell transplantation and can progress rapidly causing severe kidney or lung dysfunction and lead to multi-organ failure. Thus, it can derail a patient's recovery from the curative intent of a stem-cell transplant, with patients who develop VOD/SOS and multi-organ failure facing an overall mortality rate of over 80%," said Paul G. Richardson, M.D., director of clinical research at the LeBow Institute for Myeloma Therapeutics and the Jerome Lipper Multiple Myeloma Center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the RJ Corman Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. "Defitelio thus fulfills an unmet need having shown a consistent Day +100 patient survival benefit across three large prospective studies. Importantly, Defitelio provides transplant teams with the first approved treatment option that can help return patients to the road to recovery."

Q: Can I inject a POJO to a BackingBean ? And a @Entity to a POJO? How does it work? So this is my code:
<h:form>
    <p:dataTable var="customer" value="#{customersTableBackingBean.allCustomers}">
        <p:column headerText="First Name">
            <h:outputText value="#{customer.contactFirstName}" />
        </p:column>

        <p:column headerText="City">
            <h:outputText value="#{customer.city}" />
        </p:column>
    </p:dataTable>
</h:form>

BackingBean:
package com.tugay.maythirty.model;

import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.inject.Named;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.List;

@Named
public class CustomersTableBackingBean implements Serializable {

    @Inject
    CustomersService customersService;

    public List<Customers> getAllCustomers(){
        return customersService.getAllCustomers();
    }

    public String sayHello(){
        return "Hello from a managed bean!";
    }
}

Service:
import javax.inject.Inject;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.List;

public class CustomersService implements Serializable {

    @Inject
    private CustomersDao customersDao;

    public List<Customers> getAllCustomers(){
        boolean userLoggedIn = true;
        if(userLoggedIn){
            return customersDao.getAllCustomers();
        }
        else{
            return null;
        }
    }
}

Dao:
import javax.persistence.*;
import java.util.List;

public class CustomersDao {

    @PersistenceContext(unitName = "Persistence")
    private EntityManager em;

    public List<Customers> getAllCustomers() {
        TypedQuery<Customers> query = em.createQuery("SELECT c FROM Customers c", Customers.class);
        List<Customers> allCustomers = query.getResultList();
        return allCustomers;
    }

    public void addCustomer(String customerName, String city){
        Customers customer = new Customers();
        customer.setCustomerName(customerName);
        customer.setCity(city);
        em.persist(customer);
    }
}

Entity:
@Entity
public class Customers {
    //relevant code here...

So this runs on Glassfish server, and runs just fine.. I can fetch the data from the db and see it on index.xhtml..
My backing mean is a @Named bean. So @Named makes this be accessible from the EL.
However, it does not have any other annotations, such as Statless or Stateful.. So what is the "state" of this backing bean? Is the lifetime of this bean not managed by the container?
Also, as you can see I am injecting a Service to my BackingBean with @Inject,and a Dao to my Service, and an Entity to my Dao... Are these EJB 's? Why would I want to make these @Stateless or @Stateful if they work just fine like this?
Why would/should I make any of these beans @Stateful or @Statless?

A: CustomersService is just a POJO. If you annotate it with @Stateful then it will be a statefull EJB (with @Statless - a stateless EJB). Unlike a POJO (which is not an EJB), an EJB is managed by the EJB container, and can benefit with the facilities (e.g. container managed transactions, security, ...) that the EJB container has to offer.
But if you don't require the services provided by EJB container then I think there is no point in making them EJBs.

So what is the "state" of this backing bean?

IMO, that doesn't quite make sense. I think you mean the scope (e.g. request, session, application, ...) of the bean. If so, since you haven't specified any scope for it, I think it won't be put in any of the scopes. It will be instantiated whenever needed (e.g. in this case it should be instantiated every time the page is requested). But if it was scoped then an instance of the bean would live as long as the scope itself would live. e.g. a request scoped bean is instantiated for each new request.
Here is the tutorial for EJB.
Above tutorial link is for Java EE 6. Thanks to @Luiggi for the Java EE 7 tutorial link.

A: Per the CDI spec (sorry on my phone, can't look up the section easily) without any context / scope annotations the bean is DependantScoped, which means the container creates a new instance every time it's accessed (or created and set on the containing bean, similar to doing new yourself).
The other question about Entities, you should create a producer for each entity you want to directly access on the front end. If you don't, it may not save correctly on persist.
