Q: How can I build this Observable? I need help building this Observable. I want:

*

*Get Observable<FilmInfo> from an User's id

*From that FilmInfo's id, retrieve a Film

*Once completed, return an Observable<UserFilm> that contains both FilmInfo and Film
I have this:
@Override
public Observable<UserFilm> filmsForUser(final User user) {
    return infoStore.filmsInfoForUser(user.id())
            .flatMap(new Func1<FilmInfo, Observable<Film>>() {
                @Override
                public Observable<Film> call(final FilmInfo info) {
                    return filmsStore.get(info.id());
                }
            }).map(new Func1<Film, UserFilm>() {
                @Override
                public UserFilm call(Film film) {
                    //I need "info" here!
                }
            });
}

Here, I have an Observable<Film>, but I need to map it to an Observable<UserFilm>. Problem is that I can't use the info variable to build the UserFilm. I have tried with combineLatest but I don't know how to use it exactly.

A: Use the 2-argument overload of flatMap:
@Override
public Observable<UserFilm> filmsForUser(final User user) {
    return infoStore
        .filmsInfoForUser(user.id())
        .flatMap(filmInfo -> filmsStore.get(info.id()), (filmInfo, film) -> {
             // use filmInfo, film here!
        });
}

A: Got it!
@Override
public Observable<UserFilm> filmsForUser(final User user) {
    return infoStore.filmsInfoForUser(user.id()).flatMap(new Func1<FilmInfo, Observable<UserFilm>>() {
        @Override
        public Observable<UserFilm> call(FilmInfo info) {
            return Observable.combineLatest(Observable.just(info), filmsStore.get(info.id()),
                    new Func2<FilmInfo, Film, UserFilm>() {
                        @Override
                        public UserFilm call(FilmInfo filmInfo, Film film) {
                            //I have all I need here!
                        }
                    });
        }
    });
}

ickle Cell Anemia refers to a group of diseases that affect the red blood cells. The condition leads to the formation of abnormal hemoglobin cells that have a crescent shape. The disease is genetic, and many family members are affected. Moreover, one person can have only one sickle cell gene and not have a disorder, but they can transfer the gene to children, who are at a higher risk of getting the gene if the other partner has it, too. Sickle cell disease can affect anyone and often it doesn't have any symptoms. The most common sign is the sickle cell crisis, which is a sudden pain in the body. Moreover, acute chest syndrome is also a sign of the disease. Other symptoms include anemia, swollen hands, yellowing of the skin, spleen and kidney problems, and gallbladder disease. The typical treatment includes educating patients about the trigger factors and taking regular tests to track the condition. People with Sickle Cell Anemia are prone to infection, and regular vaccinations can be necessary.

Q: Python/wxPython - Windows 10 ActionCenter Notification I have programmed a small tray application (python/wxpython) and i am now wondering how i can force its notifications to be persistent in the windows 10 ActionCenter.
The Program appears under Settings\System\Notifications i can configure it there to show its Notifications in the ActionCenter and on top of everything else.
This creates following registry key in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Notifications\Settings:
Microsoft.Explorer.Notification.{B50D3CA7-B170-24D3-7FC4-29B295181444}
which stores all the relevant settings (rank, ShowInActionCenter as DWORD).
My question is now how is this "ID" generated? ({B50D3CA7-B170-24D3-7FC4-29B295181444}) I am deploying this application in our organisation and i want to force its notifications to be persistent. So i have to deploy or set this registry setting automatically but i dont know if this ID will be the same on all machines.
I cant find it anywhere else in the registry and it is not the AppID i configured in the InnoSetup Installer.

CPC reduces parking spaces for W. 53rd St. development
City Planning Commission • Special Permit • Clinton/Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan
Commission declined to use quarter-mile radius test to determine the sufficiency of available parking nearby. On March 4, 2009, the City Planning Commission approved, with modification, 405 West 53rd Development Group LLC's special permit application for a 37-space accessory parking garage. The garage would be located on portions of the cellar and ground floor of an 84-unit, as-of-right residential building located at 405-427 West 53rd Street in Clinton/Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan.
At the Commission's January 21st public hearing, Anthony Borelli, Director of Land Use for Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, spoke in opposition, stating that the garage was unnecessary given the ample amount of available parking within a quarter-mile radius of the project site. 6 CityLand 5 (Feb. 15, 2009). Anna Levin, of Community Board 4, stated that sufficient parking existed even if the radius was reduced to three blocks, especially since an 81-space parking garage located on the same block would soon be reopened. CB4 was willing to accept 17 spaces (parking for about 20 percent of the total units), but Stringer recommended that the application be completely denied because the applicant failed to prove that there was insufficient parking within the vicinity of the site. Stringer, in his recommendation report, noted that over a thousand parking spaces were usually vacant within a quarter-mile radius of the site. (more…)

37-space garage opposed by Borough Pres. and CB4
Opponents disputed developer's claim that there was insufficient parking within the vicinity of the site. On January 21, 2009, the City Planning Commission heard testimony regarding 405 West 53rd Street Development Group LLC's special permit application for a 37-space accessory parking garage within a seven-story mixed-use development in the Clinton/Hell's Kitchen section of Manhattan. The garage would occupy portions of the cellar and ground floor of the development, which consists of approximately 83 owner-occupied units and commercial space. The site, formerly a 225-space surface public parking lot, is located at 405-427 West 53rd Street between Ninth and Tenth Avenues.
Ethan Goodman of Wachtel & Masyr LLP spoke on behalf of the applicant. He explained that the unattended, self-park accessory spaces would be for the exclusive use of the residents, and would not be rented on a per-hour or other transient basis. Since accessory parking was not allowed as-of-right under current zoning, the developer needed a special permit from the Commission based partly on insufficient parking "within the vicinity" of the building. When Borough President Scott Stringer and Community Board 4 reviewed the application, they recommended denial because they believed this finding was not met. (more…)

I know: It sounds a bit like one of those "Eat your spinach, it's good for you" movies. But trust me: From Nowhere is not just a noble gesture — it's also a compelling, well-crafted and impressively acted drama that arguably is even more relevant right now than it was last March. The movie begins its theatrical run in New York and Los Angeles February 17 before (I hope) rolling out to theaters nationwide. Here is my original Variety review, and here is a trailer.

Building a new Paediatrics Unit for Nazareth
Shane is cycling the Galilee, 6-10 November 2016
Previously we helped build this modern operating theatre.
I will join friends from the UK and Middle East to raise money for the Nazareth Hospital Paediatric Department by cycling round the north of Israel. This post contains some information about me and my ride – feel free to share and to get in touch. Most important of all, I would love you to donate to our appeal – your support is greatly appreciated, and will help us achieve our dream of a modernised Paeds Unit in this amazing little city!
I'm Dr Shane McKee, a consultant in Genetic Medicine at Belfast City Hospital. My job involves the diagnosis and management of children and adults with rare genetic disorders. Some of the work is very hi-tech, involving the latest DNA techniques and computational analysis, but the most satisfying bit of being a Genetics doctor comes down to listening to patients and their families, putting together the pieces of the puzzle, and applying that knowledge to make life better. Children are disproportionately affected by rare genetic disorders, and when kids are ill, they need the best care, with their families around them.
What is the Nazareth Hospital?
Back in 1861 a young Armenian doctor named Dr P.K. Vartan from Constantinople, capital of the Ottoman Empire, arrived in the Palestinian town of Nazareth. He established the only clinic between Beirut and Jerusalem, catering for people from all around the Galilee and beyond. Although well known as the boyhood home of Jesus, Nazareth in the 1860s was a fairly small town. Over the decades, and through considerable turmoil in the region, the hospital expanded and modernised as best it could, supported by the Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society, the organisation that had originally trained Dr Vartan and which had sent him to Palestine.
Today the Nazareth Hospital (known locally as the English Hospital as well as the Scottish Hospital) is a modern facility, acting as the District General Hospital for the region of the Galilee. Although established by a Christian charity, and drawing many of its staff from the local Christian Arab population, the Hospital also has many Muslim and Jewish staff (and others), and treats patients of all backgrounds. It is a beacon for unity and peace in a region that has been marred by conflict for many years. However, several areas of the hospital are in serious need of upgrading, particularly the Paediatric Department, and that is the focus of the latest appeal by the Nazareth Trust.
What is my connection with Nazareth?
During our training as medical students, we were encouraged to travel from Northern Ireland to another country, somewhere unfamiliar, to see how medicine is practiced in conditions very different to back in Belfast. This was in 1993; I chose Nazareth, since a doctor from my home town of Dungannon, Dr Stephen Crooks, was working out there. I have always been fascinated by the Middle East, and this was an excellent opportunity to get to know a small part of it at first hand. I spent six weeks training in Nazareth itself, and fell in love with this little city and its wonderful inhabitants. Although I was only there for a short time, it now feels like a second home to me.
The local Arab Israeli population are warm generous people with a great sense of humour. They graciously welcomed me into their town and their homes, and that experience has shaped my entire medical career as well as my outlook on the world. As I met these people in the Emergency Department, the wards, the operating theatres, the clinics and maternity unit, I learnt a great deal about the practice of medicine, about cross-cultural communication, and about myself. I am forever in their debt. When I returned to Northern Ireland after my elective was over, I longed to return.
In 2009 I joined a sponsored bike ride along the Jordan Valley, from the Dead Sea up to Nazareth. About twenty of us cycled 250 miles through Jordanian and Israeli territory, seeing the sights and feeling the burn of climbing over 1500 metres up from the valley floor to the Jordanian plateau. The proceeds of our ride went to maintaining and developing the hospital, including the new operating theatres which were a massive improvement on the very old-fashioned theatres I worked in as a student. And of course I made a lot of new friends, all of whom share my love of Nazareth.
The Nazareth Hospital celebrated its 150th Anniversary with a conference in 2012 – this was a chance to catch up with old friends and to see how things have changed. Many of the kids whom I met on my first trip now have children of their own, and the Paediatric Unit does amazing work with very limited resources.
From 6-10 November 2016 I am joining another intrepid group of cyclists from the UK and The Galilee (and possibly a few from elsewhere). We will start in Haifa, and over the next five days we will cycle over 200 miles around Northern Israel, before crossing the Sea of Galilee by boat, and then making our way up through the hills to Nazareth Hospital. There are some challenging climbs, scary descents and bumpy tracks, as well as a couple of on-foot sections, and we'll be overnighting in local kibbutzim at each of our stops. It won't be easy, but it will be unforgettable (there may still be a few spaces available if anyone wants to join us!). Our objective is to raise as much money as possible to help refurbish the Paediatric Unit in the Hospital.
How can people help?
I have set a fund-raising goal of £3000, but I hope to raise as much as I can. I have set up a Justgiving web page at http://justgiving.com/shanenaz2016 . Using Justgiving significantly reduces the administration costs for the charity (The Nazareth Trust) meaning that more money goes directly to the project. I am really grateful for any donations, no matter how small (or how big!) - they all go to making the Paediatric Unit fit for the kids of the 21st Century, and hopefully building peace for the next generation. I am of course also grateful for any publicity on FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, media or even good old-fashioned sharing – anything to help raise as much as possible for the Hospital, and to raise awareness what we are trying to do for the children of Nazareth.
Nazareth is a popular quick destination for tourists visiting Israel, but most people pass through very quickly on a whistle-stop tour. I would strongly recommend staying a bit longer, perhaps in one of the fantastic local guest houses in the Old City, exploring the town, and talking to the modern Nazarenes. It's a complex, fascinating, full-on experience – oh, and the Palestinian food is amazing. Nazareth is famous for the best cooking in Israel, if not the entire Middle East.

Children who have more conflict in relationships with their mothers during early years of elementary school may find it more difficult to find a sense of purpose in life as they reach adulthood, suggests new research from Washington University in St. Louis.
"One of the biggest takeaway messages from these findings is that the path to a purposeful life starts very early, well before we start to consider different goals for life," said Patrick Hill, associate professor of psychological and brain sciences in Arts & Sciences and co-author of the study.
"This research shows that it's the child's perspective of conflict that has the greatest effect on later sense of purpose and what matters most in this equation is the child's relationship with his or her mother," he said.
As defined by the study, a sense of purpose involves having the belief that one has a stable, far-reaching aim that organizes and stimulates behaviors and goals to promote progress toward that objective.
The study is one of the first to show long-term associations between a child's reports of early life experiences and whether that child feels purposeful later in life.
Children who reported conflicted early relations with fathers were negatively influenced by the experience, but the negative impact on sense of purpose was not nearly as strong as it was found to be among children who reported early conflicts with mothers. Childhood reports of conflicts with fathers also predicted less life satisfaction in emerging adulthood.
Again, only the child's perspective seemed to matter.
Parental reports of troubled relations with their young offspring turned out to be poor predictors of a child's later sense of purpose, the study found.
The study, finally published in January 2019 print issue of the Journal of Youth and Adolescence, is based on data from a long-running Oregon study of 1,074 students (50 percent female) and their parents, all of whom self-reported on levels of parent-child conflict in their families during grades 1-5. This study was first made available online in August 2018.
Follow-up surveys, which included questions on life satisfaction and perceived stress were repeated until the students reached early adulthood (ages 21-23 years).
Other questions focused on life satisfaction and perceived stress: In the past month, how often have you felt that you were unable to control the important things in your life, confident about your ability to handle your personal problems, that things were going your way, or that difficulties were piling up so high that you could not overcome them?
Hill and his colleagues utilized this rich data set to link what children thought of their relationships with their parents to their attitudes about purpose in life as they were starting to enter adulthood. His co-authors include Joshua Jackson, the Saul and Louise Rosenzweig Associate Professor in Personality Science at Washington University; Leah Schultz, doctoral student in psychological and brain sciences at Washington University; and Judy Andrews, senior scientist at Oregon Research Institute in Eugene, Ore.
Schultz studies the development of individual differences such as personality traits and vocational interests across the lifespan. She is particularly interested in how individuals navigate these differences in their daily lives, how they select into the environments that fit them best, and what implications better person-environment fit may have for a variety of life outcomes.

Major Staffing Company Kelly Services Turns to Blockchain With New Partnership
Leave a Comment on Major Staffing Company Kelly Services Turns to Blockchain With New Partnership
As Forbes reported on Aug. 14, Kelly Services will deploy Moonlighting's blockchain-enabled hiring platform in a bid to streamline internal processes such as secure uploading of job seekers' profiles and their distribution among various platforms.
Moonlighting is based on EOSIO's public blockchain and reportedly does not involve the use of a cryptocurrency.
Global staffing company Kelly Services announced a strategic partnership with online blockchain-based hiring platform Moonlighting.
Moonlighting CEO and founder Jeff Tennery told Forbes that the biggest problem with the gig economy is its fragmentation, wherein people have to keep logging over and over again into various websites and applications. Tennery continued:
"Kelly and Moonlighting are really collaborating to fix that problem so that people could be more efficient in the way they share their data so they can get hired. Blockchain just fits that very nicely, and then the control is really in the hands of the user."
John Healy, vice president and managing director at the Office of the Future of Work within Kelly Services, stipulated that the collaboration between the companies could result in "some pretty significant market opportunities." Healy said:
"We're going to learn. We've got three of our business units today that are actively exploring how to leverage both the technology that Moonlighting has, as well as the business process that we're delivering for our customers and for our workers to figure out where that best fit is."
Are other companies ready to use blockchain?
A survey by Big Four audit company KPMG released in February showed that 48% of C-level executives believe that blockchain is likely to change the way they do business in the next three years. 27% of executives said that the Internet of Things will be one of the greatest blockchain disruptors over the next three years.
When asked about the possibility of implementing blockchain in their companies, 41% of respondents said they were likely to use the technology, 31% did not give a straight answer, while 28% said they were not likely to implement blockchain.
In June, research firm Data Foundation and IT firm Booz Allen Hamilton released a report examining the feasibility of blockchain implementation by the United States federal government.
MAS, JPMorgan Build Payments System With Inter-Blockchain Connectivity
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the city-state's central bank, has completed development of a blockchain-based cross border payments system that can support a range of currencies.
Carried out as part of the ongoing Project Ubin initiative, the prototype platform was developed in partnership with investment banking multinational JPMorgan and Singapore government-owned investment firm Temasek. It's now being tested to see if it lives up to its promise as a means to cut costs for businesses and to gauge its ability to connect with different commercial blockchain applications, MAS said on Monday.
The project has been some time in the works, with the second phase of the project announced back in 2017. Earlier tests had involved MAS and a group of major banks, with blockchain startup-consortium R3 and professional services firm Deloitte also involved. Originally focused on digitization of the Singapore dollar using blockchain, the project moved on to look at the tech's potential to support a real-time gross settlement system like those used by central banks.
With Ubin now in its fifth phase, MAS said the payments prototype "will provide interfaces for other blockchain networks to connect and integrate seamlessly." It's also been built to offer additional benefits such as delivery-versus-payment (DvP) settlement with private exchanges, conditional payments and escrow and payment commitments for trade finance.
"We hope this development will encourage other central banks to conduct similar trials, and we will make the technical specifications publicly accessible to accelerate these efforts", said Sopnendu Mohanty, chief finTech officer at MAS. "We look forward to linking up with more blockchain networks to improve cross-border connectivity. This will be a big step forward in making cross-border transactions faster, cheaper, and safer."
With the code now developed, over 40 companies from within finance and elsewhere have been working to ascertain the commercial viability and overall value of the platform.
JPMorgan indicated that work on its own blockchain initiative for internal business payments – which utilizes a dollar-pegged stablecoin – has informed work on the Ubin project.
John Hunter, global head of clearing and Interbank Information Network at JPMorgan, said:
"By leveraging our key learnings from building the Interbank Information Network and the JPM Coin, J.P. Morgan is well-positioned to support the development of a blockchain-based payments network and operate at scale."
Planned for early next year, professional services giant Accenture will publish a report on the project, listing the potential use cases for a blockchain payments platform and setting out additional features that could be built into the system. The technical specs for the platform's connectivity interfaces will be made freely available under the Apache License Version 2.0.

Brexit I to Brexit II? The UK out of UNSC ? It depends on who you ask
People hold banners during a 'March for Europe' demonstration against Britain's decision to leave the European Union, in Parliament Square, in central London Reuters/Neil Hall
In Bratislava on Friday (September 16), there were, as The Economist said, "forced smiles" all around. The leaders of 27 European Union countries—all bar Britain—were meeting in the Slovakian capital to show that life goes on, Brexit or not. Interestingly, some of the great and the good were fairly forthcoming about what Brexit might mean. It would hurt the EU to lose Britain, they acknowledged. After all, Britain is in the G7 and has a seat on the UN Security Council (UNSC). But why, they asked, is it in the G7? Because it has access to the European single market.
Brexiteers may bridle. They should take comfort that the Euro-worthies didn't say more about the UNSC . Many might ask why a small island should have a permanent seat?
I've written about this before and can report that most of the interest in the idea has come from people without any sentimental interest in the United Kingdom.
That is entirely unsurprising. Why would anyone with any links to (or affection for) Britain be excited by the prospect of a great humbling? A post-Brexit removal of Britain from permanent membership of the UN Security Council would be the greatest humbling of all. UNSC veto-wielding membership is one of the real reasons the UK is still considered a world power even though it's small and hasn't had an empire for the better part of a century.
But any attempt to removing the UK from the UNSC would not be about the UK per se. It would be about UNSC reform. About making sure that those on the P5 are entitled to be there – ie, they should be big enough in some way. They should have clout, make a substantial contribution to the UN, display the capacity and willingness to act in defense of international security and have institutional wherewithal to participate in a demanding UNSC agenda.
The worry is that a United Kingdom sans Scotland would lose on all these counts. For if Scotland holds a second referendum on independence and this time, decisively votes to leave the UK, the country will shrink. Physically and psychologically. It will become poorer and weaker and less able to concentrate on issues that go beyond immediate crisis-management. British diplomacy may become less able to take a worldview, for a globalist mindset takes money, concentration and the luxury of being able to devote attention to matters beyond one's own borders.
How surprising would it then be for the UK's misfortune to be turned into an opportunity for others? Not least the various informal groups who've been campaigning for years to re-structure the powerful veto-wielding body. India, Brazil, Germany, Japan, otherwise known as the G4. The African Union. The Arab League.
Pure coincidence, of course, but it was on June 23, the UK's fateful Europe-referendum day that India's permanent representative to the UN Syed Akbaruddin, issued a statement on behalf of the G4. He slammed it as "outdated".
Anyway, the G4 wants to expand the Security Council to 25 members – six more to be given permanent membership; four to be non-permanent members. The six new permanent members would ensure an equal regional spread – two seats for Africa, two for Asia, one for Latin America and the Caribbean, and one for western Europe and other states.
The African Union (AU), meanwhile, has something that's informally dubbed the Ezulwini Consensus, after the valley in central Swaziland where the agreement was arrived at in 2005. Like the G4 proposal, the AU wants at least two permanent seats on the P5 – with veto power. It also wants to be able to decide on a further five non-permanent seats. It points out the paradox of seeking veto powers for new UNSC members even though it is opposed to the veto in principle. If one UNSC members has the right to veto, everyone should, it argues.
Mostly, of course, it's hard to argue against putting countries like Germany (big contributor to the UN budget, big economy, clout in Europe); India (demographic giant, fast-growing economy) and a couple each African and Arab states on a body that claims to represent the planet.
There are other permutations and combinations that have been proposed over time, but most fall at the most crucial point – the P5's reluctance to write down their singular power in world affairs. Mostly, they want to do this by denying the veto to any new permanent member of the Security Council. But that unyielding stance may be forced to change if Britain's place in the UNSC starts to be seriously questioned. It would then become the loosening of the first brick in the blank wall of UNSC status quoism.

This is a different one, and something I didn't expect to write. I was not paid to write this and the fact I have done will be more of a surprise to the people I'm writing about than anyone else.
2 weeks ago, I was approached by the The Private Clinic, a cosmetic surgery and aesthetic treatment clinic that can be found up and down the UK with it's original location in Harley Street. They'd asked me if I, or someone I knew, had any interest in cosmetic treatments as they were looking for someone to undergo consultation, treatment and aftercare and then talk about their experience.
There has been one thing that I've had an insecurity with for the majority of my life, since being around 13 years old – my neck. I've always been jealous of people with gorgeously defined necks and jaws as I've always had what I've referred to as the 'chinneck' – it's no doubt a hereditary trait!
Well shot, but you can still see it – at least I can, particularly when compared to my best friend on the left.
Over the last 12 months, I had put on a little weight – not loads – but a little. The first place any weight hits me is my face, therefore making the 'chinneck' situation worse. The weight is going slowly but surely, but I still see it; it still annoys me and I still get very, very upset over it. Very.
I know there are things going on in the world, people who have suffered deformities, injuries and a whole array of other traumas – I am under no illusion that this is a serious issue – but to me it is. So when I was given the opportunity to correct it, free of charge, I naturally jumped at the opportunity.
The second stage was to be invited to an event at The Private Clinic last Thursday where I could find out more about the group, their treatments and have a one-on-one appointment with surgeon, Mr Vasu Karri.
I was given advice and recommendations on the tiniest amount of botox on my forehead after extensive Visia skin analysis to help prevent deeper wrinkles forming on my forehead – all advice was impartial because there was no money to be made from me and a much higher risk that I would share any bad experiences. Botox, Juvaderm and other non-invasive skin treatments are nothing to be afraid of – they're temporary and you're not shoving lumps of plastic and blobs of goop into your face; just make sure you go somewhere that's reputable and that you trust.
The evening went by wonderfully as I then I had my appointment with Mr Karri – a meeting that would change the way I would think about myself forever to come and embarrassingly, burst into tears.
I was sat down with Mr Karri and Sorena Ali, the patient co-ordinator where I coyly explained what it was that bothered me. Firstly, I was met with deep understanding and sympathy but as many have done before, I was told it wasn't that much of a problem, but they understood how much of a problem it was to me.
After some poking, squeezing, smoothing and prodding, Mr Karri returned to his seat to give me his diagnosis and recommendation.
I'd initially sought Microlipo or Vaser Laser Lipo, to remove all the fat and smooth out my neck.
Mr Karri told me that any form of treatment, from lipo to a facelift would almost certainly not give me any result. In fact any of those treatments would likely leave me with a weird fold of skin instead.
It was then that he explained to me about my platysma; no, I had no idea either!
So it turns out I have a very large platysma; the muscle structure on the neck that joins from the base of the neck, all the way up to the chin. It's one of the complex structures that keeps your head up.
As soon as I had all this explained, I burst into tears as 13 years of insecurity finally drifted away. I apologised profusely as I tried to keep myself from continuing.
So there we have it – I won't be having anything snipped, sucked or stitched but instead learn to love my big ol' platysma and continue to eat well, weight train and reluctantly… do cardio.
I think the lesson to learn from this, beyond the whole "it's not as bad as you think" thing, is that whatever your problem, your concern; whether it's mental health, physical health, aesthetic concerns etc. It's always best to talk to someone who knows.
With The Private Clinic, their surgeon consultations cost a max of around £150 and most are redeemable against treatment if they decide you need it. If I'd have known, I'd have paid that like a shot many years ago. The whole experience was totally geared around not giving me surgery that not only I don't need, but that would show no results and damage the reputation of the business.
I will likely look into a little (we're talking two sites max) of preventative Botox that I'd love to be able to talk about and share my experiences with, but beyond that, I won't be having any surgery and in just one conversation I feel more positive about the way I look and how I feel – if you can, try it!

Additive manufacturing start-up Scrona raises $9.6 million
Scrona AG aims to revolutionize ultra-high resolution 3D printing for a wide range of industries including semiconductor and display manufacturing. The start-up closed its $9.6 million financing which includes $6.7 million from Series A funding and $2.9 million from a grant by Swiss Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).
Scrona developed the industry's first multi-nozzle electrostatic printhead for mass manufacturing to speed product invention in an economical and eco-friendly way, with unprecedented printing resolution in the sub-micrometer range. The new capital will allow Scrona to accelerate the industrialization and commercialization of this novel printing technology and develop new applications across multiple industries including semiconductor manufacturing, high-end displays, electronics, and PCB. For example, the resolution and layer thickness control of Scrona's technology enables printing of quantum dot RGB color filters for high-brightness, full-color micro LED displays in augmented reality glasses for gaming and metaverse applications.
The technology is based on the electrostatic ejection principle which provides very fine, submicron-scale printing and jetting, while allowing the adoption of various ink materials—such as metals, dielectrics, organic, and biomaterials, with inks that are more than 100 times more viscous than those compatible with conventional inkjet printheads, delivering flexibility and cost-effectiveness in manufacturing. Until now, printing of inks with unlike properties from one and the same printhead with high resolution and throughput has not been possible. Scrona's patented electrostatic printing technology has the potential to transform manufacturing of semiconductor, display and many other products with its ability to reduce production steps 10-fold, while also significantly reducing materials, energy and water usage.
The Series A financing round was led by AM Ventures with syndicate partners including TRUMPF Venture, Verve Ventures and Manz GmbH Management Consulting and Investment. "There is enormous potential of the Scrona technology in additive manufacturing because its technology can process materials that are simply not processable with other printheads today, " said Johann Oberhofer, Managing Partner at AM Ventures. "The combination of the highest resolution and the ability to overcome restrictions around high-performance materials of current processes is unique. I expect that Scrona's technology will enable completely new applications and we are glad to accompany them on their journey together with a strong investor line-up."
The financing includes a grant by Swiss Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI). The grant is provided on an exceptional basis as a substitute for funding through the EIC Accelerator. Currently, Swiss companies cannot apply for the EIC Accelerator since Switzerland is no longer an associated member state of the EU's Horizon Europe research programme. However, companies that applied successfully before the exclusion - i.e. before June 2021 - will not be funded by the EIC Accelerator, but by SERI instead.

Meeting Mickey Mouse is an experience one never forgets. When we are young we are captivated by the smile of our favorite pal as he comes over to greet us, when we are older we look at Mickey in awe of everything he represents. But if there is one thing that has alluded Mickey Mouse in our one-on-one interactions with him in the parks, it has been his voice. Well that is now a thing of the past. Today, the Official Disney Blog, has posted a video of our favorite mouse inside his relatively new home at the Magic Kingdom, Town Square Theater. But what makes this all the more special is that he now moves his mouth, blinks and talks in an animated style that will change the way we experience Mickey in the parks forever. With one small caveat of course. This is a limited test and there is no official word of when this might become an official part of Mickey's repertoire. Let's all hope this becomes a main stay of the Magic Kingdom and all the Disney Parks soon.

I think my relationship with food is the healthiest it has ever been. Inevitably, we all go through stages when we're too restrictive, or the flip-side, when we're too lax. There is definitely a fine line between taking care of one's body though the consumption of healthful foods, and becoming obsessive over what one "should" and "should not" eat.
It's taken me awhile, but nowadays, I just don't stress over food. I know what foods make me feel good and I try to eat mostly those things. But, if I want ice cream, a glass of wine, or a big ol' stack of pancakes while out to brunch with my husband, I'm going to have those things.
I believe my "balanced" approach to eating has made my relationship with food what it is today. I don't restrict anything…but I do pay attention to how food makes me feel and I think, for anyone, that it is most important.
Alright, all of this to say…I love dessert. And I love to have a sweet, small something almost every night. I have a few favorites I want to share…desserts with simple, real ingredients, ones that will not wreak havoc on your body if you have them on the regular, and ones that do a darn good job of satisfying your sweet tooth!
I love all of these packaged sweets (the cookies, yogurt, and granola) because they all contain real, simple ingredients and the sugar content per serving is relatively low for a dessert. As with anything, keep your portions balanced, but these are all really awesome and satisfying options!
Simple Mills cookies…crunchy, sweet, and simple.
Hope you have an awesome start your week!
Question: What is your go-to healthier dessert?

Clitheroe Castle was built in the motte and bailey style and stands on a limestone outcrop dominating the town. The castle has one of the smallest keeps in the country and is thought to have been built around 1186. Legend has it that the large hole which can be seen in the side of the keep was the result of the Devil hurling a boulder from nearby Pendle Hill. In truth the damage was ordered by the government in 1649 to put the castle out of commission.
A strong image with a saturated sky caught well complete with the flag of St.George. Thanks for the details too David. This quality image is a very welcome addition to POE.
Superb David I can only endorse all that has already been said.
Beautiful and impressive composition David. Great details captured in the castle area.

At the Bauma 2016 from 11th to 17th April in hall B6 booth 100, Putzmeister will present its latest truck-mounted concrete pump, the BSF 47-5. It features a 5-arm placing boom mounted on a 4-axle chassis. With a gross weight of less than 32 tons, it is one of the most lightweight machines in its class.
The newly designed 47-5 from Putzmeister raises the bar in terms of the weight, operation, safety and efficiency of concrete pumps. It weighs less than 32 tons including sufficient reserves for payload, water, fuel and other functional fluids.
The 47-5 is extremely economical to run, as the operating costs of the machine have been reduced across the board. The individual components of the machine are highly resistant to wear. A high proportion of the components are completely maintenance-free. Overall, the machine achieves an exceptionally long service life and an attractive resale value. This has enabled the quantity of costly functional fluids such as hydraulic fluid used to be significantly reduced. The operating costs of the 47-5 remain extremely low throughout the entire service life of the machine.
In terms of safety, the 47-5 is a clear winner: All current standards have been taken into account in full.
Modern design and calculation principles have enabled the structure of the 47-5 to be optimized on all levels. The extremely flexible 5-arm boom with the roll-Z fold system has excellent slip characteristics, can be deployed quickly and makes optimal use of the available space. Dead space is largely avoided. This means that the machine has a wide range of applications and can be used flexibly on any construction site. The smooth behaviour of the arm further optimizes the application of the machine. Vibrations in the boom remain at a low level even at high delivery rates. These benefits require intelligent laying of the delivery line and a balanced progression of stiffness in the steel structure. This ensures that concrete distribution is safer and more efficient.
As an option, the concrete pump can be set up with even smaller space requirements thanks to a new, flexible support. The sophisticated technology used in this support enables the telescopic front support legs to be adjusted to any length. This enables operation on construction sites with extremely limited space available.
Equipped with ESC (Ergonic ® Setup Control), the range of applications and the working radius of the new 47-5 are significantly increased. The operator is supported with the safe and flexible machine setup. This effect becomes very clear in particular on long, strenuous days at work as concentration levels diminish. A special feature with Putzmeister is that the machine operator is provided with an image of the working area live on the display of the remote control, i.e. directly at the work place. Both the safety of the persons at the work site is significantly increased, and the investment is secure.
The pump unit on the 47-5 has been comprehensively reworked and equipped with a significantly improved S transfer tube bearing. A chrome-plated delivery cylinder and an automatic centralized lubrication system for the entire pump are standard features. The pump has a delivery rate of up to 160 m³/h. This pump is the heart of the 47-5, and its design ensures that it can handle the high requirements of the construction sector.
The base structure of the 47-5 is designed in accordance with the new I-frame concept. All parts are screwed in, enabling them to be replaced flexibly and at low cost. The wide flatbed with anti-slip surface provides sufficient space for attaching hoses and pipes. It also offers sufficient storage space for small and large accessories. The 800 litre water tank can be attached easily. The 47-5 is designed for ease of maintenance and enables easy access from all sides.
Concrete pump operators can conveniently and precisely control the placing boom using the computer-based Ergonic® Boom Control system (EBC). The simple joystick control system enables precise operation of the boom with one hand. This means that concrete pump operators are free to concentrate more on their surroundings and the movement of the end hose. Putzmeister will present the new Ergonic® 2.0 control system generation at the Bauma. The fully electronic control system of the EPS (Ergonic® Pump System) pump is provided as standard in all BSF machines. It continuously regulates the operation of the concrete pump and the truck engine, reducing the effort required by the operator. The pump operator can display important information about the machine centrally on the Ergonic® Graphic Display on the radio remote control. The newly developed colour display on the 47-5 and the optimized menu structure enable data, parameter settings and error management to be read easily.
More than 50 years of experience have gone into the development of the Putzmeister concrete pumps. Constant innovations have opened up unprecedented possibilities for pumping and conveying concrete. This progress is based on the tried-and-tested and robust concrete pumps from Putzmeister, which are constantly being improved and adapted to meet modern requirements.
The Putzmeister Group develops and produces machinery of high technological quality in the fields of concrete conveying, truck-mounted concrete pumps, stationary concrete pumps, placing booms and accessories, plant technology, conveying viscous industrial materials through pipes, concrete placement and transporting excavated material from tunnels and below ground, mortar machines, plastering machines, screed conveying, injection and specialist applications. Market segments include the construction industry, mining and tunnelling, large industrial projects, power plants and sewage treatment plants, as well as waste incineration plants, all over the world.

Q: Apache Hudi - How to understand the hudi write operation vs spark savemode? How to understand the hudi write operation with upsert but df savemode with append? Since this will upsert the records, why append instead of overwrite? What's the difference?
Like showed in the pic:

A: Example: Upsert a DataFrame, specifying the necessary field names for recordKey => _row_key, partitionPath => partition, and precombineKey => timestamp
inputDF.write()
   .format("org.apache.hudi")
   .options(clientOpts) //Where clientOpts is of type Map[String, String]. clientOpts can include any other options necessary.
   .option(DataSourceWriteOptions.RECORDKEY_FIELD_OPT_KEY(), "_row_key")
   .option(DataSourceWriteOptions.PARTITIONPATH_FIELD_OPT_KEY(), "partition")
   .option(DataSourceWriteOptions.PRECOMBINE_FIELD_OPT_KEY(), "timestamp")
   .option(HoodieWriteConfig.TABLE_NAME, tableName)
   .mode(SaveMode.Append)
   .save(basePath);

Generate some new trips, load them into a DataFrame and write the DataFrame into the Hudi table as below.
   // spark-shell
val inserts = convertToStringList(dataGen.generateInserts(10))
val df = spark.read.json(spark.sparkContext.parallelize(inserts, 2))
df.write.format("hudi").
  options(getQuickstartWriteConfigs).
  option(PRECOMBINE_FIELD_OPT_KEY, "ts").
  option(RECORDKEY_FIELD_OPT_KEY, "uuid").
  option(PARTITIONPATH_FIELD_OPT_KEY, "partitionpath").
  option(TABLE_NAME, tableName).
  mode(Overwrite).
  save(basePath)

A: When you use the overwrite mode, you tell spark to delete the table and recreate it (or just the partitions which exist in your new df if you use a dynamic partitionOverwriteMode).
But when we use append mode, spark will append the new data to existing old data on disk/cloud storage. With hudi we can provide additional operation to merge the two versions of data and update old records which have key present in new data, keep old records which have a key not present in new data and add new records having new keys. This is totally different from overwriting data.

Emma Hart Willard: A Pioneer for Women's Education
Emma Hart Willard had always shown an aptitude for academic work. Gender roles were strongly enforced in post-revolutionary America, but Samuel Hart encouraged his daughter to study, often interrupting her domestic duties to listen to different philosophical essays he'd written.
At the age of 13 she taught herself geometry and later enrolled in the Berlin Academy, which was essentially a finishing school where she attended for two years before teaching there. In 1807, at the age of 19, she was offered a summer teaching job at a girls' school in Middlebury, Vermont. The conditions the girls experienced there, paired with family financial hardship, inspired Emma to open a boarding school in her home in Middlebury.

Defending champion survives late fightback from Stanislas Wawrinka in thrilling five-hour clash at the Australian Open.
Defending champion Novak Djokovic survived an early onslaught and a late fightback from Stanislas Wawrinka in a pulsating fourth-round clash to advance to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open early on Monday.
The 15th-seeded Swiss had taken an early 6-1 5-2 lead over the world number one with a powerful serve and booming groundstrokes before Djokovic took greater control of the rallies and waited for Wawrinka to make mistakes.
Wawrinka, however, managed to send the match into a decider when he totally dominated the fourth set tiebreak before the world number one clinched a 1-6 7-5 6-4 6-7 12-10 victory on his third match point with a cross-court backhand winner.
The match, which lasted five hours and two minutes, finished at 0140 (1440 GMT).
"It's really hard to find the words to describe the feeling," an exhausted Djokovic said courtside.
"He deserved equally to be a winner of this match. I give him a lot of credit. He showed his qualities.
"He was the aggressive player on the court. He was playing well, mixing it up, using the right tactics and serving really well.
"I was just trying to hang in there and fight and give every drop of energy."
Djokovic, seeking to become the first man in the professional era to win three successive Australian Open titles, will now meet fifth seed Tomas Berdych in the quarter-finals.
Wawrinka had lost his 10 previous encounters against Djokovic but did not appear overawed by the occasion or the world number one.
He mixed up the pace of his returns, painted the tramlines and launched ground shots from both wings that had the crowd in Rod Laver Arena ooh-ing, ah-ing and looking at neighbours wondering if what they were watching was real.
He broke Djokovic three times to claim the first set 6-1 in 25 minutes and, while he had his serve broken in the first game of the second set, the setback was temporary as he then reeled off the next four games.
Djokovic, who had changed his shoes after the third game of the second set because he was constantly slipping over, however finally held serve at 4-2, which sparked a recovery.
The world number one won five of the next six games to take the set 7-5 and level the match, then broke in the first game of the third that produced an almighty roar from the Serb.
While Wawrinka broke back immediately, both players then seemed to take a breath and the match settled down with Djokovic taking greater control of the rallies, reducing Wawrinka's ability to go for winners and waiting for him to make errors.
The tactic worked as he broke in the ninth game of the third set then held serve to take it 6-4 before the match quickly advanced through the fourth as both held serve until the tiebreak, which Wawrinka dominated.
Neither were able to hold their first service games in the fifth set and it then became a case of who would blink first with Djokovic holding a break point in the eighth game only for Wawrinka to hold his nerve.
The match then stayed on serve until the 22nd game of the set, where Djokovic held three match points before he finally sealed the win, raised his arms and let out another almighty bellow of relief.
"It could have gone either way this match and I am thrilled to be through," Djokovic added.
"He had a lot of chances to win this match. All the credit to him, I feel sorry that one of us had to lose."
In the day's other games, Maria Sharapova beat Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium 6-1, 6-0 to continue a dominant and unparalleled run. Sharapova has only lost five games in four matches on her way to the quarter-finals.
"Well I'm certainly happy to be playing this well but ... it only gets tougher from here,'' said Sharapova, who is playing her first tournament of 2013 after withdrawing from an exhibition match in South Korea and a warm-up event at Brisbane because of an injured right collarbone.
She next plays fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova, who ousted fifth-seeded Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-4.
Li Na, who reached the final here in 2011 and won the French Open later that year, saved a set point in the tiebreaker before beating Julia Goerges 7-6 (6), 6-1.
She'll next play No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, who beat No. 13 Ana Ivanovic 6-2, 6-4 for her 13th consecutive win. Radwanska won the Auckland and Sydney titles before coming to Melbourne.
In men's matches, fourth-seeded David Ferrer had a 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 win over No. 16 Kei Nishikori of Japan to reach the quarterfinals, where he will meet Spaniard Nicolas Almagro.
Almagro advanced later Sunday, leading 6-2, 5-1 when No. 8 Janko Tipsaveric retired from their fourth-round match.

The South African type XM1 tender was a steam locomotive tender.

Type XM1 tenders were Type TM tenders which were reclassified after their intermediate draw and buffing gear were altered to an "X_" tender configuration. They first entered service in 1912, as tenders to the SAR Class MC  Denver type Mallet locomotive.

Origin
Type TM tenders were built between 1910 and 1912 by the North British Locomotive Company (NBL). The two Type XM1 tenders originally entered service on the South African Railways (SAR) in 1912, as Type TM tenders to Class MC  Denver type Mallet locomotives.

Rebuilding
At some stage before 1941, the intermediate draw and buffing gear of two of the tenders, numbers 1607 and 1615, were altered to an "X_" tender configuration. These two tenders were reclassified to Type XM1.

Characteristics
The tender had a coal capacity of  and a water capacity of , with a maximum axle load of .

Classification letters
Since many tender types are interchangeable between different locomotive classes and types, a tender classification system was adopted by the SAR. The first letter of the tender type indicates the classes of engines to which it could be coupled. The "X_" tenders could be used with the following locomotive classes:
 Cape Government Railways Mountain, SAR Class 4.
 SAR Class 4A.
 SAR Class 5.
 Cape Government Railways 6th Class of 1897, SAR Class 6B.
 Oranje-Vrijstaat Gouwerment-Spoorwegen (OVGS) 6th Class L3, SAR Class 6E.
 Cape Government Railways 6th Class of 1901 (Neilson, Reid), SAR Class 6H.
 Cape Government Railways 6th Class of 1902, SAR Class 6J.
 Cape Government Railways 8th Class of 1902, SAR Class 8.
 Imperial Military Railways (IMR) 8th Class, SAR Class 8A.
 Central South African Railways Class 8-L2, SAR Class 8B.
 Central South African Railways Class 8-L3, SAR Class 8C.
 Cape Government Railways 8th Class 4-8-0 of 1903, SAR Class 8D.
 Cape Government Railways 8th Class Experimental, SAR Class 8E.
 Cape Government Railways 8th Class 4-8-0 of 1904, SAR Class 8F.
 Cape Government Railways 8th Class 2-8-0 of 1903, SAR Class 8Y.
 Cape Government Railways 8th Class 2-8-0 of 1904, SAR Class 8Z.
 Central South African Railways Class 9, SAR Class 9.
 Central South African Railways Class 10, SAR Class 10.
 Central South African Railways Class 10-2 Saturated, SAR Class 10A.
 Central South African Railways Class 10-2 Superheated. SAR Class 10B.
 Central South African Railways Class 10-C, SAR Class 10C.
 Central South African Railways Class 11, SAR Class 11.
 Cape Government Railways 9th Class of 1903, SAR Class Experimental 4.
 Cape Government Railways 9th Class of 1906, SAR Class Experimental 5.
 Cape Government Railways 10th Class, SAR Class Experimental 6.
 SAR Class ME.
 Central South African Railways Mallet Superheated, SAR Class MF.

The second letter indicates the tender's water capacity. The "_M" tenders had a capacity of .

A number, when added after the letter code, indicates differences between similar tender types such as function, wheelbase or coal bunker capacity.

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, declined bail
A British judge denied bail from WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Wednesday over concerns that he would "not surrender to the court to open an appeals process in his extradition case".
Judge Vanessa Baraitser made the announcement just two days after he denied a U.S. request to transfer Assange to the Atlantic, arguing he was likely to commit suicide if released on espionage charges. The United States is appealing the decision.
"I am convinced that there are good reasons to assume that if Mr Assange is released today, he will not surrender to the court to initiate an appeals process," Baraitser said on Reuters on Wednesday.
THE EXTENSION OF ASSANGE WAS REFUSED BY THE BRITISH JUDGE
"As for Mr Assange, this case has not yet been won … the outcome of the appeal is not yet known," he added.
One of Assange's lawyers, Barry Pollack, called the judge's latest decision "extremely disappointing" because "despite Mr Assange's request to extradite him to the United States, he will continue to be held in a maximum security prison in London, closed during a pandemic."
"We look forward to the day you can reunite with your family," he added in a statement to Fox News.
U.S. prosecutors charged Assangen with 17 espionage charges and a computer misuse charge a decade ago for publishing leaked military and diplomatic documents by WikiLeaks. The maximum sentence for the charges is 175 years in prison.

Rejecting the extradition request on Monday, Baraitser said Assange suffered from clinical depression that would be exacerbated by the isolation he was likely to face in an American prison.
The judge also noted that Assange has "meaning and determination" to circumvent any suicide prevention measures taken by the authorities.
Assange's legal problems began in 2010 when she was arrested in London at Sweden's request to question two women on charges of rape and sexual abuse. In 2012, to avoid being sent to Sweden, Assange sought refuge within the Ecuadorian embassy, where he was unavailable to the UK and Swedish authorities – but also practically a prisoner who could not leave the tiny diplomatic mission around London's tony Knightsbridge.

The relationship between Assange and his hosts eventually deteriorated, and in April 2019 he was evicted from the embassy.
Sweden canceled the investigation of sexual crimes in November 2019 because so much time had passed, but Assange is still in London's Belmarsh prison with a strict security system, who was brought to court in a extradition trial during his extradition trial.
Fox News Lillian LeCroy and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
