Designing good lighting for hotels is about more than creating stylish products that are on trend and look the part. It's about top quality products that provide efficient lighting and enhance the guest experience, whether through multifunctional guestroom lighting or bold public area statement pieces.
Lighting really does make or break the traveller's hotel experience, something which is illustrated by recent extensive research conducted by Osram suggesting that of 10,000 recent hotel reviews in London most guests complained about the dim, bad and sparse lighting in their rooms. Accordingly when we design either our standard lighting collection or bespoke pieces, we do so from multiple perspectives; either from that of the hotelier, the interior designer and above all else the guest.
The first thing to consider is the aesthetic of the product, does it look the part and fit in with the overall design concept? Interior designers are pushing the boundaries more than ever before, always looking to create unique interior schemes for hotels that offer something different and inevitably lighting is an essential part of that. It's often asked whether table or floor lamps can make a difference in a guestroom or are they surplus to requirement. Well they most certainly can by adding ambient lighting and creating atmosphere in what has become an increasingly multifunctional space.
Following the latest industry trends and ultimately trying to pre-empt them is a critical part of the design process. Nobody wants to specify outdated products so we try to recognise emerging trends as early as possible and use them to inspire our collection. Take the Bullet range for example, we identified that retro styling and industrial cues were becoming big news on the interior design scene, so we designed the range based on retro styling from the 1960's with an assortment of finish options to appeal to our international client base. To mix the wish of the guest who wants enough light and the wish of the hotelier who wants low energy costs, it had to be LED with an integral 6watt LED chipboard located behind a frosted diffuser in order to give soft light with no glare. Contract functionality means solid steel and brass construction, locking swivel joints with toothed locking key for secure arm position. The multi-swivelling head enables guests to control the position of the light whilst the weighted base houses the LED driver and ventilation holes in the head ensure that barely any warmth is emitted from the light source.
As highlighted by the Osram research, lighting is more than just about creating the 'wow factor' and needs to rank higher up the designer's list of priorities. One of the biggest complaints to concierges is that guestrooms are insufficiently lit to work, put make up on or to simply see so it's our job as lighting specialists to work with the designers and hoteliers to light guestrooms and public areas successfully. We have helped several hotel chains to create their brand standard light levels following guestroom lux level surveys carried out by our technicians. A hotel room is no longer just a room to sleep in, it has become multifunctional, a place to eat, sleep, work and relax and the lighting scheme needs to reflect the variety of uses and generate the correct light levels to meet all those functions. Our new Crane desk lamp for example puts the light exactly where it is needed- on to the hotel guests work station.
As hoteliers expect stylish design and quality whilst working to a tighter budget, it should be a given that both are essential for contract use. Products need to be designed to withstand frequent and often forceful handling because those of domestic quality aren't going to last 2 minutes in the hotel environment. We need to provide clients with products that reflect the highest standards of engineering and finish at the right blend of price and quality. Guests want hotels to feel like a luxurious home away from home and they want their hotel lighting in particular to reflect this, to be stylish yet functional. For example, most guests have dimming functionality at home and expect it in hotels, but they want it to be clearly visible on the product and most of all usable. I have lost count of the number of times I have heard stories of the concierge being called up to the room to explain how to dim the lights, illustrating there needs to be a distinct balance between design and functionality. Our latest colour coordinated push and toggle switches provide the guest with clear switching options. The latest Dock range of bedside reading lights give the option of a push switch or a neat 'docking switch' when the LED directional head is recessed away.
Blending cutting edge style with the latest technological developments is becoming more important than ever but we constantly need to ask ourselves whether we can make the lighting experience better for the hotelier by saving money on running and maintenance costs. LEDs are now an essential light source in many hospitality spaces as sustainability moves to the forefront of the minds of developers and designers. Whilst they don't answer every possible lighting requirement, the option of LEDs has offered increased design possibilities when integrating this technology into our fittings for future energy saving. Whilst I still believe sustainability is at the top of most people's list versus design and price, it is important to recognise the need to go green as the wave of the future. It's imperative that lighting companies are moving with the times and demonstrating commitment to taking sustainability seriously. That is why we have made nearly every product in our latest collection available with an LED light source.
Creating bespoke product for clients is becoming increasingly more common and is a large part of what we do so it's important that we have the necessary budget guidance. We can make a desk lamp from £29 to upwards of £299 and both will illuminate the desk and be of contract quality but it's the combination of design, detail and light source that ultimately define the price level. For us budget level doesn't mean chopping quality, it means being flexible and clever in manufacturing to give the same general look whilst hitting lower priced targets. The Travelodge refurbishment programme that we are involved in currently is a perfect example of this. We worked closely with the interior design team to value engineer the standard version of our Discus desk lamp to ensure it met the exacting design requirements and budget limitations involved without compromising the overall design aesthetic. The shallow curved weighted base and integrated rocker switch of the standard Discus fitting have been replaced with a flat circular alternative featuring an inline switch located on the cable. The base shape is mirrored in the stamped flat cylindrical head which contains a fluorescent GX 53 lamp providing excellent light level sustainability and efficiency.


The workshop is financed by the ERC Advanced Grant ``KL2MG-interactions'' (no.662400) of Wolfgang Lück granted by the European Research Council.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together a small group of researchers to study the recent developments in the analysis of homotopy types of diffeomorphism groups. Following the work of Michael Weiss on the Pontryagin classes of euclidean fibre bundles and the proof of higher dimensional analogues of Mumford's conjecture by Galatius and Randal-Williams (following the solution of the latter by Madsen-Weiss), there has been a flurry of work exploiting ideas introduced by these authors.
On the one hand Alexander Kupers and Oscar Randal-Williams made progress in understanding the rational homotopy groups of spaces of diffeomorphisms of discs by exploiting a fibre sequence introduced by Michael Weiss, which connects these groups to the embedding tower of certain highly connected manifolds and their diffeomorphism groups.
On the other hand Thomas Willwacher produced a rational graph-complex model for the embedding tower in equal dimension, that, while not known to converge to the diffeomorphism group, suggests a new approach and in particular produces many new candidate classes to be analysed. This compares to computations of Alexander Berglund, who used the traditional surgery-and-K-theory method to produce a rational model for the diffeomorphism group of simply connected manifolds in the concordance stable range, that shows Willwacher's predictions might be closer to the truth than anticipated. Finally, very recent work of Tadayuki Watanabe shows that many of Maxim Kontsevich's proposed characteristic classes are non-trivial on the 4-disc by yet another application of graph complexes.
The main goal of the workshop is to have these authors explain their work in detail, so as to gain insight into the parallels and differences between the approaches and hopefully play them off against each other fruitfully.
Participation will only be possible by invitation!

TDTKs October 2010
WITCHCRAFT, RITUAL, OBSESSION and OBLITERATION
The strange obsessive world of avant garde artist Yayoi Kusama as documented by Jud Yalkut is the core film in this programme. Her polka-dot obliterations bring to mind other ritualistic acts, performances and lifestyles – there is a somewhat obscure thread connecting all these films. I leave you to join the dots….
Jud Yalkut Clarence (US / 16mm / 10mins / 1968)
A poetic montage of the 'sculpture garden house' created through the transmutation of cast-off objects by 67 year old hermit-builder Clarence Schmidt of Woodstock, New York. The film includes some of the only footage taken of Clarence living within the seven-story mountain interior of his creation.
Ben Russell Black+White Trypps Number Three (US / 35mm / 11mins / 2007)
The third part in a series of films dealing with naturally derived psychedelia. Shot during a performance by Rhode Island noise band Lightning Bolt, this film documents the transformation of a rock audience's collective freak-out into a trance ritual of the highest spiritual order.
Cecile Fontaine Japon Series (FR / 16mm / 7mins / 1991)
Fontaine works with what can be called margins, the excluded parts of cinema, revindicating scratching, soaking, de-collage , filmmaking as a primarily plastic activity. A hand-made, amazingly collaged film of Japanese Buto dancers performing in Paris.
Maya Deren Witches Cradle Outtakes (US / 16mm / 10mins / 1944)
An unfinished film made in the Guggenheim Gallery during a surrealist "Art of this Century" exhibit. Assembled long after her death this film was inspired by both the architecture of the space itself and the art works it contained. Deren used her camera to delineate the magic of what she called these "cabalistic symbols of the twentieth century."
Jud Yalkut Kusama's Self-Obliteration (US / 16mm / 24mins / 1967)
"By obliterating one's individual self, one returns to the infinite universe".
Generally unknown until the late 90s, fame is not new to Yayoi Kusama. At one time when she was as well known as Andy Warhol among admirers of Pop Art. Kusama made headlines for street performances painting polka dots on nude men and women. She was largely forgotten by the art world after returning to Japan in 1973, suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
This film documents her actions and art from her time in New York in the 60s.

More than 30,000 people are killed in crashes every year on the U.S. road system. This tragic loss of life costs the American economy well over $1 billion annually. Since 1998, Federal legislation has required statewide and metropolitan transportation planning processes to address safety, and subsequent legislation, including the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) of 2012, strengthened the role of safety in the planning process.

Q: How to mask the value of a member variable in a List of objects using LINQ? I have a table which I'm displaying in a grid. I'm being asked to mask the value of certain column if another value in that same row meets some condition.
Take for example:
public class Container
{
     public string Name { get; set; }
     public int Volume { get; set; }
}

IQueryable<Container> myContainerList;
// Imagine some code to populate the object

Currently, I'm masking the Volume field like so:
var filteredList = from container in myContainerList
                   let vol = container.Name.ToUpper().Contains("SPECIAL") ?
                                                       -1 : container.Volume
                   select new Container()
                   {
                       Name = Name,
                       Volume = vol
                   };

This successfully masks the volume of any container with the name "special" in it, but this seems inefficient to me.
Is there a better way of going about this?

A: I'd add another property to the Container class:
public string MaskedVol
{
  get
  {
    return (Name.IndexOf("SPECIAL", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) != -1 ) ? "--" : Volume.ToString();
  }
}

A: I agree with Sean that adding a readonly property is probably the best option. If you don't want to change the Container class, than you can simplify your linq query a little bit:
var filteredList = myContainerList.Select(c => new Container {
    Name = c.Name,
    Volume = c.Name.ToUpper().Contains("SPECIAL") ? -1 : c.Volume
});

A: Why does this seem inefficient to you?
For each item, exactly one check is performed, so I can't see any way of speeding up the process.
You can make it a bit faster and less resource-consuming by using IndexOf instead of creating a new string with ToUpper and calling Contains.
Then decide whether it is Component's responsiblity to mask Volume.
If it is, declare a special property in it to remove clutter in query:
public class Container
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Volume { get; set; }

    public int MaskedVolume {
        get {
            return (Name.IndexOf ("SPECIAL", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0)
                ? Volume
                : -1;
        }
    }
}

If it's not Container's responsibility to know about masking, I agree with Elian that lambda is a better fit than let:
var filteredList = list.Select (c =>
    new Container {
        Name = c.Name,
        Volume = (c.Name.IndexOf ("SPECIAL", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0)
                     ? c.Volume
                     : -1
    });

What alerts me, though, is the fact you create another instance of Component just to display it in a list view. Is this true? It seems like Component is part of business logic, and surely from business logic point of view new Components don't get created each time a list view is populated.
Maybe you should reconsider your solution in this case. Can you give us more details about how Component is used in the application?

Yesterday I cried. I stood in the shower, let the hot water wash away my tears and cried. I felt overwhelmed, overworked, undernourished, under-hydrated, and under the wire. Crying felt amazing. As I cried I released all of those feelings suffocating me and I was able to breathe again.
A simple shift of words can be such a powerful thing.
…the telescopes we made out of toilet paper rolls.
…the strawberry banana smoothie we shared.
…the costumes we made out of ribbons, towels, and socks.
…the conversations I had over the phone with friends and family.
I also did something I usually never purposely do. I left my phone in the kitchen. This morning, instead of waking up to an alarm or alerts from messages, I woke up to my daughter's head on my chest and her arms and legs wrapped around me, and my son's toes tucked between my thighs and my arm tucked behind his head. Mornings like this morning are when I do nothing but breathe in their sweet scents, hold them tight, and slowly inhaled savoring each magical second like it's the last.
Lying there watching the sun creep in, I breathed. We breathed. Three bodies, three hearts, breathing as one.

Sport / Football / Ross County
Liam Fontaine thriving in Ross County's battle to avoid the drop
by Reporter
Liam Fontaine in action for Ross County.
Liam Fontaine says Ross County's players must not be overcome by the pressure of tomorrow's bottom-of-the-table Premiership match against Partick Thistle.
The Staggies, in bottom spot, have fallen two points adrift of tomorrow's opponents with three games remaining, meaning a victory for the Jags at Firhill would virtually end the Staggies' hopes of top-flight survival.English defender Fontaine insists the Dingwall men should relish the encounter as they look to take advantage of the opportunity to leapfrog Alan Archibald's men into 11th-place with a win of their own.
Fontaine said: "These are the sort of situations where you need people who thrive in them.
"You don't need people who go under.
"Whatever players are on that pitch, you are going to need all 14 who can take part on the day to be pulling that same direction, enjoying the pressure and not getting beaten by the pressure.
"All the games after the split, you go into as must-win games. The sooner you can get the points on board, the better. Our next focus is Friday, if we can get the win it takes us off the bottom of the table.
"Then we would go into the game against Dundee on Tuesday, which would then become the next biggest game of the season.
"All focus has to be on Friday, I'm not even worry-ing about anything after that.
"All you can do is try your best and if it's not meant to be it won't be."
Fontaine is one of several players out of contract in the summer, having joined County on a short-term contract from Hibernian in January.
The 32-year-old has put injury troubles at Easter Road behind him, with 11 appearances for the Staggies, and he insists County's struggles have not dampened his enjoyment of his stint at Victoria Park, adding: "I came here with the intention of getting back playing football, which I have done consecutively.
"If I'm being watched – whether it be here or elsewhere – I have got to keep putting out good performances for myself.
"We have got a challenge as a team to win and survive in this league.
"My main reason for coming was for the challenge that it was.
"Even with the situation we are in, I'm still enjoying every moment I step on to that pitch.
"On a personal note last year was not a great year for me, so I'm genuinely just enjoying playing football despite the situation.
"People might just see the situation as a downer because we're battling for relegation but I'm thriving in it and enjoying the battle."

(APPENDIX XVI - A Biography of Jack Ruby)
parents were apparently reconciled, since their alien registration forms, filed in late 1940, indicated that they both resided at Marion's address.79
Fannie Rubenstein was admitted to Michael Reese Hospital on April 4, 1944, as a result of a heart ailment. Her condition was complicated by an attack of pneumonia and she died at the hospital on April 11, 1944.80 Hyman testified that, perhaps because she favored the education of her children and they recognized her difficulties in rearing them during a turbulent marriage, they all remembered Mrs. Rubenstein with warmth and affection.81 The evidence also indicates that Jack, notwithstanding his earlier attitudes, became especially fond of his mother.82 Following his wife's death, Joseph Rubenstein stayed with the children in Chicago, where he died at the age of 87, on December 24, 1958.83
Records provided by the Chicago Board of Education revealed that Jack Ruby attended Smyth Grammar School from October 24, 1916, through the 1920-21 term, completing kindergarten to grade 4B.84 He repeated the third grade.85 During the 1921-22 school year Jack finished the fourth grade at the Clarke School; he attended Schley School for the 1924-25 term, when he completed the sixth grade. Ruby's relationship with the Institute for Juvenile Research and the Jewish Home Finding Society may explain the lack of academic records for the 1922-23 and 1923-24 school years. While there is some uncertainty about Ruby's education subsequent to September 1925,86 it seems likely that he completed the eighth grade in 1927, when he was 16. Although Jack Ruby and others have stated that he attended at least 1 year of high school,87 the Chicago Board of Education could not locate any record of Ruby's attending Chicago high schools.88 Considering the absence of academic records and Jack's apathetic attitude toward school,89 the Commission deems it unlikely that his education extended into high school.
Records of the Institute for Juvenile Research revealed that, as of June 1922, Ruby had no religious education outside the public school system.90 However, according to their children, Jack's parents made some effort to inculcate in them a desire to adhere to the tenets of Orthodox Judaism. Jewish dietary and festival laws were observed and several of the children accompanied Joseph Rubenstein to the synagogue.91 Earl Ruby stated that all the boys received some Hebrew school training until the breakup of the Rubenstein home in 1921.92 However, Hyman Rubenstein testified that the instability and economic necessities of the household and the children's relationships outside the home frustrated the religious efforts of Ruby's parents.93
Born in a home that disintegrated when he was 10 and boasting no substantial educational background, Jack Ruby early found himself


Batu Sandar is considered as the best snorkeling site. There is a fringing reef in the shallows that gives way to sand and patch of reefs that descends to 80'. A finger coral extends out into the strait down on a white sand slope at about 20 meters. The site has excellent soft coral growth as well as sponges and many coral bommies.


Rumors have abounded that the Trump administration would target Chinese telecom companies with an executive order to ban their US sales. Reuters reported in December that Trump would consider an order declaring a national emergency related to the firms.
Some US companies are preparing for a possible executive order by the Trump administration in the next few weeks that could inflict serious harm on Huawei, perhaps making it impossible for the company to operate, according to James Mulvenon, a China specialist formerly for the Rand Corp who now works for defense-contractor SOS International of Reston, Virginia.
An order could be presented to Trump as soon as next month, according to one person familiar with the discussions who asked not to be identified. The order the person outlined would give the Commerce Department discretion to decide which companies and which products to scrutinize.

Criminal Lawyers for Affray and Public Order Offences
'Affray', 'violent disorder' and 'riot' are the most common 'public order' offences in NSW.
These charges are normally brought where there has been some kind of a public disturbance.
However, affray and violent disorder can also occur within a private setting such as a person's home eg during a domestic dispute.
Public Order Offences Generally
Public order charges can be treated seriously by the courts.
It is therefore vital to get advice and representation from specialist criminal defence lawyers who are experienced in dealing with in 'public order' cases.
Sydney Criminal Lawyers® has successfully represented clients charged with 'public order offences' for many years.
We frequently succeed in having 'affray', 'violent disorder', 'unlawful assembly' and 'riot' charges withdrawn at a very early stage.
We do this by carefully examining the evidence and writing to police (or DPP) outlining the problems in their case, including any possible defences such as self-defence, duress and necessity.
We jealously protects our clients' rights, especially when the evidence does not support the charges.
If the matter proceeds to a hearing, we will fight for the dismissal of the charges so that you can get on with your life.
We have been able to secure acquittals in many extremely difficult cases; including charges arising from the 'Cronulla Riots' and, more recently, the altercation between members of Biker Associations at Sydney Airport.

Our firm's specialist experience ensures you receive the best possible result, whatever your criminal law case may be.
Results-Focused Law Firm
Our team is passionate about achieving results, and unlike many other law firms, our lawyers do not have monthly financial 'budgets' to meet.
The absence of budgets means our lawyers are entirely focused on achieving optimal results in the shortest space of time; whether by getting charges dropped or downgraded at an early stage or having cases 'thrown out of court'.
Not having budgets also means our lawyers are not under pressure to engage in unscrupulous practices such as unnecessarily adjourning cases or 'overcharging' clients – which, sadly, is a common complaint against many other lawyers and law firms.
No budgets encourages regular consultation between lawyers within the firm – promoting an 'open door', team environment where lawyers bounce ideas off one another, formulate case strategy together and benefit from each other's specialised experience, methods, techniques and insights.
The result is a firm which delivers optimal outcomes in the shortest time periods, at the least expense and stress to our clients.
Team of Lawyers Behind You
Our clients benefit from the pool of knowledge that only an extensive team of experienced criminal defence lawyers can provide.
Our lawyers regularly consult one another to stay 'ahead of the pack' in the ever-changing field of criminal law – constantly devising, refining and implementing specialised techniques which ensure our clients achieve the best possible outcomes.
A team approach is particularly important when it comes to serious criminal cases such as murder, commercial drug cases, serious and sexual assaults, large-scale fraud, robbery and other 'indictable' cases.
In such matters, clients reap the benefits of several lawyers devising and executing case strategies which maximise the chances of having cases dropped or downgraded at an early stage, or 'thrown out of court' – often saving clients a great deal of cost, time and anxiety.
Familiar with Magistrates and Judges
Each of our lawyers appears in court on a daily basis, and has done so for years. We have therefore been able to develop an understanding of, and rapport with, magistrates and judges in Sydney and indeed across the state.
Our team's extensive experience before the courts ensures your case is tailored to the specific nuances of individual judicial officers, maximising the likelihood of a favourable result.
We have offices in locations across the Sydney Metropolitan Area and beyond, including:
the Sydney CBD, on Castlereagh Street, directly opposite Downing Centre Court,
Liverpool, directly opposite Liverpool Local Court, and
Parramatta, near the justice precinct.
We offer free parking at our Sydney CBD and Liverpool locations, and all of our offices are close to train stations and bus terminals.
For those who are unable to attend our offices, we offer conferences by telephone, Skye and FaceTime anywhere around the world.
If you are going to court and wish to arrange a free first consultation, call our 24 hour hotline on (02) 9261 8881 or send us an email at info@sydneycriminallawyers.com.au.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho could still face a touchline ban after the FA appealed against the 'not proven' verdict on his improper conduct charge.
Mourinho was charged with using 'abusive, insulting or improper language' after United's win over Newcastle last month. He is alleged to have said 'fodas filhos de puta' (Portuguese for 'f**k off sons of b*****s') into a TV camera following the match.
An independent commission found that the charges against the 55-year-old could not be proven, with Manchester United's legal team putting together a strong defence to secure a rare victory against English football's governing body.
The FA said at the time that they were 'surprised' by the verdict and they have now taken the option to launch an appeal.
In a statement quoted by the Mirror, the FA said: "Having carefully considered the Written Reasons of the Independent Regulatory Commission relating to the case involving José Mourinho, it will be appealing the decision."
Mourinho said last week that he had contested the charge because he was certain of his innocence.
"You know the reason why I ask the club and lawyers to appeal was because I was 100 per cent that I was not guilty of this charge," he said.
"But you never know how it ends. Yes I'm pleased, but I know that I have to respect the process and I have to wait for what is going to happen next."
Mourinho's alleged comments came after a 3-2 victory, with United recovering from two goals down to secure a crucial victory and lift the pressure on their manager.
It looks like it could be a turning point in their season, having taken seven points from three Premier League games since then, although a tough test awaits against Manchester City on Sunday.


For the first time in the project's 17-year history, Opuha Water Limited was yesterday forced to cut supply to the 250 farmers who use the scheme, due to a lack of any substantial rainfall since July last year.
No irrigation means big problems for dairy farming in South Canterbury, a region that had few dairying operations the introduction of large schemes such as Opuha.
Brent Isbister, who farms 1,100 dairy cows and relies on the scheme, said he had to sell a third of his herd because there simply was not the grass to feed them.
This, along with a record low milk payout, was a 'perfect storm'.
"The payout decrease is around $1.2 million, and the drought we think will add a cost of between $500,000 and $750,000, depending on how long it goes for," said Mr Isbister.
With the region now officially in drought Brent Isbister said the need for rain was urgent.
There was a real danger winter feed crops would not receive the water they needed to sustain cattle beyond the current milking season.
"A lot of the decisions we make from here on in are about protecting next season's milk production. If we get rain in March we'll be able to protect that quite well. If we don't, this year's drought will have some serious ongoing effects into next season."
Most of Steve Malone's crop of autumn strawberries and raspberries is going to wither and die now his supply of water from the Opuha Dam has been cut off, meaning a loss of $30,000.
"We've put a lot of effort and time into getting that fruit ready so it would be coming in in March and we're not going to get the benefit of it and it's a real bugger because you can see it all there."
Steve Malone was now trying to work out what he would do if the dry spell extended into winter and he was not able to irrigate the 30,000 plants ordered for June to provide fruit for next season.
"If we don't get a lot of water to get that dam functioning again, we're going to be in exactly the same position we're in now and that would be absolutely disastrous because our peak is December, January."
David Williams, a sheep farmer on the banks of the Opuha Dam, helps run the district's Rural Support Trust.
He said the drought declaration meant they could call on money from the government to organise community events and help farmers in need.
"When people get together they share their experiences and there's a lot of good that comes out of that and there's also a lot of things that people can pick up one from the other," said Mr Williams.
Chief executive of Opuha water Tony McCormack was hopeful the normal dose of autumn rain would eventuate and allow the irrigation tap to be turned on again.
He was confident the drastic action they have had to take this time around was a one off, and not something that was likely to become a regular occurrence.
South Canterbury's Opuha dam will turn off the tap to the farms taking irrigation water from it in less than a fortnight.

Home Pool Repair Landis officials modify plans for $1 million in federal funding – Salisbury Post
Landis officials modify plans for $1 million in federal funding – Salisbury Post
Pool Repair Mike Hunter · March 9, 2022 · 0 Comment
LANDIS — Town officials originally placed improvements to the historic "fire hut" near Beaver Street on its wishlist for one-time American Rescue Plan funding, but they instead dedicate the money to improvements in the Landis pool area.
Ahead of its regular meeting Monday, the town asked for community input and held a work session to hear feedback and discuss uses for $1 million of federal ARP funding. The proposals are not final, and board members agreed to hold another public meeting beginning at 5 pm April 4 so all feedback can be considered during preparation of the 2022-23 budget. The town has until 2026 to allocate all ARP funding.
Prompted by a question from Landis resident Sam Deadmon, Mayor Pro Tem Ashley Stewart asked Town Manager Diane Seaford why the town is planning for uses of funding now when there are years left to spend the money. Seaford said the idea is "not to rush, but to plan" since such projects can take a lot of time. Additionally, Seaford said it's important to be intentional with the one-time funding, which is why she's suggested improvements to the town's recreational amenities as they have the broadest reach with the highest impact to all residents.
Deadmon suggested the funds "focus on more important items than the passive park," which could include increased pay and resources for the town's first responders, sewer and water infrastructure repair and replacements, sidewalks and ADA-compliant infrastructure.
Landis resident Catherine Drumm requested the town dedicate what it can to repaving streets. Citing Mt. Moriah Church Road, Drumm said roads give a "distressed, low-income appearance" and such funds should be invested to better the town's appearance.
Seaford said Mt. Moriah Church Road has been added to the town's three-year plan for repaving.
During the Feb. 8 meeting, Seaford said the board proposed the use of ARP funds for road paving, but such a project would use all of the $1 million. Other sources of funding can pay for street paving, Seaford said. Additionally, it's still not enough to meet all of the town's paving and water and infrastructure needs, she said.
Deadmon agreed with Drumm, calling for increased code enforcement measures to address the eyesores in the community.
Seaford said code enforcement is active, but mitigating problems involves a long process with hearings and due diligence to bring the property up to code. Alderwoman Katie Sells said such matters could be hashed out in the regular budget. Alderman Tony Corriher said many who allow such properties to get to a derelict state are on fixed incomes and give "their best effort" to mitigate the issues.
Landis resident Nadine Cherry said she agreed with Deadmon's suggestions and cautioned the board to think about funding before acting.
Corriher said in lieu of spending $85,000 for a pavilion, courts and repurposing the "fire hut" building near South Beaver Street and East Mills Drive, money is better spent on the Rice Street block where the community pool is located because there's not much action at Beaver Street. Additionally, he Corriher said he supports making investments at the Corriher Wilderness Park.
Alderman Darrell Overcash suggested the town sells four lots it owns near the "fire hut," which would generate an estimated $160,000 for another project or need. Mayor Meredith Smith said she'd eventually like to see the "fire hut" building repurposed and suggested up to $15,000 in ARP funding be dedicated to a design plan for the space. The town should leave behind a play area of some sort in the event it's developed into a residential space, Smith said.
Smith also suggested the town consider purchasing a system to track fuel usage across departments, especially for times when gas prices are high.
To date, $82,500 has been spent in ARP funding. That includes $20,000 to hire a fellow from the University of North Carolina system for a year to assist with professional administrative services; $17,000 for unexpected fuel cost increases among Public Works staff; $7,500 to cover special events costs in the 2021-22 budget; $18,500 for materials at the disc golf course and other utilities at Wilderness Park; $7,000 to cover the cost of pre-audit expenses and $12,500 for a water/sewer line camera.
At this time, the following are Seaford's suggestions for ARP funding:
• $300,000 for a new fire engine, with the town borrowing the remaining $365,000 for eight years at an interest rate of 4%, costing approximately $54,000 per year.
• $271,000 to begin a host of projects with Parks and Recreation, including pool repair, a new splash pad and a playground. The total cost of those projects is $420,000, but Seaford said the town will take a phased approach for all projects and that grants and budget funding can address some of those additional costs. For the upcoming budget year, Seaford said the town will consider a "Band Aid fix" for the pool with a quote for more comprehensive repairs in the following fiscal years.
• $54,000 for the construction of a passive park, $50,000 for a message board and $50,000 for uptown sidewalk improvements near the passive park site.
• $225,000 for a new leaf vacuum for the Public Works Department

It can make it a difficult to stay ahead in a game when the rules are constantly getting changed.

Home > Blog > Where To Find Your Freelance Community (9 Websites To Check Out)
Where To Find Your Freelance Community (9 Websites To Check Out)
David Yeo
Freelancing can be an isolating career. We mostly work on projects by ourselves, more so than ever during this pandemic season.
I know many freelancers actually enjoy the solitude but it can also slow down our careers. Don't get me wrong, isolation is amazing from time to time, but freelancers need a community.
Communities can offer knowledge, networking opportunities and protection. Prior to joining freelance communities, I didn't know how to make an online portfolio, or draft a freelance contract.
Joining a few freelancing communities really boosted my career and improved my understanding of the field. Best of all, I've made friends that mentor me and are willing to answer any freelancing questions I have!
Some might think finding a freelance community is hard, but it's actually surprisingly easy. Here are 9 sites you can visit to find one!
9 Freelancer Community To Visit
One Woman Shop
1. Discord
The famous gaming chat room, Discord, allows users to join groups that in line with their interests. Contrary to popular belief, Discord has many non-gaming related chat rooms. Some of them are a freelancer's paradise where freelancers from all over the world gather and have friendly discussions.
Digital Nomads is currently one of the biggest freelancer chat rooms on Discord. With over 3.5k users, the chat is lively 24/7. Users in the server share industry tips, motivate each other and joke around.
Being a gaming chat room, Digital Nomads presents itself in a very informal manner. If you join the room, be prepared to be bombarded with a weird mix of professional advice and NSFW jokes.
As charming as the chat room is, users are also able to find clients and source for other talents globally, and connect with each other instantly.
2. Reddit
The commonly accepted "front page of the internet" hosts thousands of subreddits, all catering to different demographics. Of course, there would be a subreddit for freelancers.
r/Freelance is a unique place as the first rule is no soliciting, no promoting and no marketing. The page itself functions as a forum for freelancers to seek career advice, share personal stories and seek legal aid.
This subreddit allows freelancers to share valuable information with each other without the intent of business. It is merely a community for freelancers to feel at home amongst each other.
So, if you are searching for a contract, r/Freelance will not accept nor entertain you. There are other subreddits meant only for soliciting freelance services such as r/ForHire and r/UpWork.
3. Leapers
Leapers is a community dedicated to supporting the mental health of freelancers and solopreneurs. This support community offers tangible aid and guides freelancers globally. They provide workshops, downloadable PDFs and much more.
There is also a leaper's slack group that consists of about 2.5k active members. The Slack group offers support to freelancers through many categories. Examples of such categories are #askanything, #littlewins, #worktogether and many more.
Due to the pandemic, they have recently started a new segment on how to work well when self-quarantined. Titled "Coronavirus and Work", Leapers provide guides, articles and support groups for the freelancers who are isolated at home.
4. One Woman Shop
One Woman Shop is a community and resource hub dedicated to supporting the goals and assists in the success of women-led solo businesses and female freelancers.
This community of freelancers and businesswomen provide strength and encouragement for each other. As the website says "even the boldest women need a community".
One Woman Shop understands the inherent inequality in the industry, and fights for equal rights within the field of freelancing.
5. Freelancers Union
Freelancers Union is an organization that represents more than 50 million independent workers across the country. Their mission is to provide freelancers safety and a sense of belonging to a community.
The organization has provided more than half a million members of the community a powerful voice through policy advocacy and benefits.
Memberships are free of charge and open to freelancers of all kinds. Other than a sense of community and advocacy for freelancer's rights, Freelancer's Union also offers health insurance and resources for their members.
Members are invited to participate in Freelancer's Union webinars and SPARK events, which is a monthly event where freelancers gather to network, share thoughts and advise each other.
Contrary to popular belief, LinkedIn is not just about finding jobs. LinkedIn is home to many groups specifically catered towards freelancers and clients, groups such as Freelance Writers' Connection, Freelance Professionals or Freelance Remote Projects.
Through these LinkedIn groups, other than finding contracts, freelancers are able to network and meet like minded people and connect with them instantly.
7. Slack
Slack has become the staple platform for any work-related communications. Comparable to a business version of Discord, Slack is also home to many chat rooms for freelancers.
Notable freelance chat rooms are Workfromanywhere, Creative Tribes, WeCoffee, Remotely One or Online Geniuses.
These channels allow freelancers to connect with each other for instant communications, remote coworking, collaborations and much more.
By joining these groups, freelancers are always connected to their community. They are able to access peer contacts and seek aid or friendship anytime, anywhere.
When it comes to searching for a community for freelancers, Twitter comes up as a dark horse. Freelancers are able to connect and follow each other on their pages.
Through hashtags such as #FreelanceChat, freelancers are able to meet every week to discuss topics related to the industry. Topics discussed range from how to build a blog, how to make yourself into a brand, fixing rates and much more.
The downside of using Twitter is the need to sift through a good deal of unrelated content. You can ease the process by listing people by geography and interest to easily find fellow freelancers in your area or industry.
Overall, freelancers are encouraged to make a Twitter account and join in these discussions to the benefit of their business and branding.
Freelance groups in facebook can be industry or location specific.
For example, many travelling freelancers are a member of Digital Nomads Around the World Facebook Group. Freelancers who specialize in writing can check out The Write Life.
Some pages function as a hub for freelancers to share and network, such as Freelancers Community.
There are Facebook groups for every type of freelancer everywhere in the world. The one's listed are the more prominent ones, but do try to search for it in the search bar; you'll be surprised at the results shown.
Overall, Facebook is a great way to start networking with other freelancers and further boost your network.
Always remember, no man is an island. There is no doubt you are a very capable freelancer indeed, but a home, a sense of belonging and a helping hand comes a long way in pushing your freelancing career to new heights!
David is a content creator and freelancer. His journey started with writing songs, poetry and academic dissertations in Vancouver. David has freelanced for multiple companies around the world. Feel free to connect with him on LinkedIn.

EMC, Amazon.com and Data Domain watch revenues soar while most other companies keep struggling to avoid red ink. SAP, IBM, Sun Microsystems and others continue to lay off staff in IT management efforts to control operational expenses.
This week's IT earnings reports, as covered daily by eWEEK staff and affiliated news services, indicate a huge disparity in the performance of companies in the high-tech business world at the moment.
A "chosen few" are doing very well, thank you, while a vast majority of enterprises are feeling the pinch and are scrambling to cut operational and discretionary costs.
The worldwide recession has created a massive gulf between profitable and unprofitable companies. For example, data storage infrastructure market leader EMC posted its first $4 billion revenue quarter, while SAP—the world leader in enterprise business management software—announced that it was forced to lay off about 3,000 people.
Some reports were puzzling. For example, Data Domain revealed a 122 percent jump in year-over-year revenues, yet its stock took a big hit because its profit was 10 cents per share, falling short of Wall Street's expectation of 12 cents per share. Yahoo and Symantec beat Wall Street expectations.
Here is a brief look at this week's quarterly IT financial report news.
EMC reported record fourth-quarter revenue of $4.02 billion, an increase of 8 percent sequentially and 5 percent year over year.
The world's largest data storage infrastructure company also posted a total revenue record of $14.88 billion, an increase of 12 percent year over year.
Data Domain, which makes automated data storage arrays with deduplication as a standard feature, posted earnings of $13.9 million on Jan. 29, compared with a loss of $76,000 in the same quarter a year ago.
However, that $13.9 million figure includes a $5.7 million deferred tax benefit. Excluding one-time items, Data Domain's profit came to 10 cents per share, short of Wall Street's estimate of 12 cents. Sales grew 90 percent to $85.2 million from 44.9 million.
JMP Securities analyst Peter Bussi told the Associated Press that "we believe the company is going to face an increasingly brutal competitive landscape and tougher environment for its high-end products."
Amazon.com stock was up about 18 percent Jan. 30 after the Internet retailer posted much better-than-expected fourth-quarter results—buoyed by 2008 holiday season retail sales. The online retailer and service provider reported revenue of $6.70 billion, compared with analysts' consensus of $6.44 billion.
However, Amazon.com joined most other IT companies in issuing guidance that the first quarter of 2009 won't be nearly as profitable. The company offered first-quarter revenue guidance of between $4.525 billion and $4.925 billion, compared with Wall Street's consensus of $4.57 billion.
Data storage disk and tape products maker Quantum reported a GAAP operating loss of $334 million and a net loss of $340 million, or $1.63 per share, in its third-quarter fiscal year earnings report on Jan. 29. Quantum's total revenue of $204 million was down 19 percent from the previous year.
Despite a revenue decline, storage company Quantum's fiscal third-quarter GAAP gross margin rate was 42 percent, up from 35 percent in the third quarter of the previous fiscal year and the highest level Quantum has achieved in eight years, CEO Rick Belluzzo says.
"Revenue was definitely impacted and was below what we would have liked," Belluzzo said, "but we more than made up for it because of our growth toward higher-margin businesses and expense management that we put in place."
Security and data backup software maker Symantec reported a $6.8 billion quarterly loss because of writedowns, but its operating profit beat Wall Street forecasts as sales stayed steady and it cut costs. Symantec shares rose 3.6 percent in after-hours trade.
SAP, the world's biggest maker of business management software, said Jan. 28 it would reduce its work force by 3,000. The company gave no target for its key software and software-related sales in 2009, but based its margin forecasts on the assumption core sales would be flat or 1 percent lower than 2008 sales of 8.62 billion euros.
SAP implemented cost-cutting measures in October after sales dropped sharply, and said it would continue to slash costs and announced it intended to reduce its work force to 48,500 by the end of 2009 from 51,800 in January.
IBM also reiterated it would cut 2,800 jobs in 2009.
Sun Microsystems reported Jan. 27 that the recession in the United States and an overall rough global economy translated into steadier low-end software and storage sales in its fiscal 2009 second quarter. Its sales numbers for higher-end systems, such as those based on the UltraSPARC processor, also suffered.
Sun's results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 show the company taking a beating in many categories, with revenues decreasing 10.9 percent year over year from 2008.
In some much-needed good news, Yahoo posted a stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter profit on Jan. 27 after several months of cost-cutting initiatives in the face of a weak advertising market.
Analysts said investors were relieved that the Internet company managed to beat their low expectations for the fourth quarter. Yahoo "didn't bleed to death as much as some of the bear scenarios," Martin Pyykkonen, analyst at Wunderlich Securities, told Reuters.
Fourth-quarter profit, excluding write-downs and onetime charges associated with its restructuring efforts, rose to $238 million, or 17 cents per share, from $205.7 million, or 15 cents per share, a year earlier.

Q: Change column order of a table in db2 luw I have table with below column definitions in db2 luw version 10.5. I want to change the order of columns OPTCOUNTER and COMPNAME.
Is there any way to do this apart from dropping and re-creating the table?
                                Data type                     Column
Column name                     schema    Data type name      Length     Scale Nulls
------------------------------- --------- ------------------- ---------- ----- ------
DATABASEVENDOR                  SYSIBM    VARCHAR                     32     0 Yes
EDITION                         SYSIBM    VARCHAR                     16     0 Yes
VERSION                         SYSIBM    SMALLINT                     2     0 Yes
RELEASE                         SYSIBM    SMALLINT                     2     0 Yes
MOD                             SYSIBM    SMALLINT                     2     0 Yes
FIXPACK                         SYSIBM    SMALLINT                     2     0 Yes
OPTCOUNTER                      SYSIBM    SMALLINT                     2     0 Yes
COMPNAME                        SYSIBM    VARCHAR                     32     0 No

  8 record(s) selected.

A: First of, why do you want to change the column order? From the table layout this seems ok because you have the variable length column after a fixed length column.
Second, wouldn't simply using a SELECT in which you explicitly state the column names solve it...?
select DATABASEVENDOR, EDITION, VERSION, RELEASE, MOD, FIXPACK, COMPNAME, OPTCOUNTER
from MYTABLE

In case you want to really change the column order, use ALTER TABLE and first DROP optcounter, then ADD it again.

A: From application side the column order shouldn't be relevant as you should use explicit column lists in your SQL statements.
If using something like liquibase the column order is relevant as different column order would always be considered as differences within databases.
My approach here would be (if no referential integrity/foreign key definition) on the table is given to create a table with the correct column order, load the data from the old table into the new one, drop the old one and rename the new one to the old name.

Geoffrey Dearmer
Geoffrey Dearmer (March 21, 1893 - 18 August, 1996) was a British poet. He was the son of Anglican liturgist and hymnologist Percy Dearmer.
During World War I, Dearmer fought at Gallipoli and on the Western Front. Most of his poems dealt with the over all brutality of war and violence, to which he was a direct eyewitness.
He died at the age of 103. The "Geoffrey Dearmer Prize for poetry" was founded in his memory in 1997.
One of his most famous poems is:
: The Turkish Trench Dog
: Night held me as I crawled and scrambled near: The Turkish lines. Above, the mocking stars: Silvered the curving parapet, and clear: Cloud-latticed beams o'erflecked the land with bars;: I, crouching, lay between: Tense-listening armies peering through the night,: Twin giants bound by tentacles unseen: Here in dim-shadowed light: I saw him, as a sudden movement turned: His eyes towards me, glowing eyes that burned: A moment ere his snuffling muzzle found: My trail; and then as serpents mesmerise: He chained me with those unrelenting eyes,: That muscle-sliding rhythm, knit and bound: In spare-limbed symmetry, those perfect jaws: And soft-approaching pitter-patter paws. : Nearer and nearer like a wolf he crept --: That moment had my swift revolver leapt --: But terror seized me, terror born of shame: Brought flooding revelation. For he came: As one who offers comradeship deserved,: An open ally of the human race,: And sniffling at my prostrate form unnerved: He licked my face!

Acella Construction Completes T. Bear Cannabis Facility
PEMBROKE and WAREHAM, MA, ISSUED JANUARY 7, 2020… Acella Construction Corporation (www.acellaconstruction.com), a leader in construction management throughout greater Boston, announces that construction has been completed on the new T. Bear Inc. (TBI; www.tbearinc.com) cannabis extraction and manufacturing facility in Wareham, Massachusetts. T. Bear Inc. is a cannabis manufacturing company focused on providing premium products to retailers throughout Massachusetts and is presently awaiting receipt of its final license from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission.
Construction on the 8,000-square-foot facility, located on the Cranberry Highway in Wareham, began in March of this year and was completed in late October. The site includes a modular cryo-ethanol extraction lab, warehouse, manufacturing facility, and two offices for TBI's product development team. An on-site staff includes two chemists, two biologists and administrative staff. A full staff of up to 20 employees is anticipated in the future.
The project consisted of a renovation to an existing building; previously the space, which occupies the entire lower level of a strip mall at 3103 Cranberry Highway, housed a martial arts studio, had few walls and was absent of plumbing and electrical. Through work that included installing new fire protection and fire alarm systems, new main electrical service to the building, and new electrical circuits throughout the space, as well as new HVAC and a new gas-fired generator, Acella's Cannabis Construction Team met the challenge of creating a facility that combines numerous manufacturing elements, a laboratory, offices and an employee locker room in one aesthetically pleasing and functional structure.
The modular cryo-ethanol extraction lab manufactured by Flexmod is attached through a passage expansion that was fully built out and coordinated to connect to the 8,000-square-foot building. An ample warehousing space was designed for deliveries, future company expansion and/or the addition of partner brands.
T. Bear Inc., founded by Angela Brown and Brian Cusick in November 2017, is a manufacturing company focused on providing premium cannabis products to licensed retailers throughout Massachusetts. With quality, integrity and consumer focus, TBI provides the safest, most dependable products on the market today, and leads the way forward through innovation, consumer insight, and constant improvement. TBI was officially approved for Provisional Licensing by the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission in November 2018.
T Bear Inc. is the first brand-centric cannabis company on the East Coast and is presently at work developing its premiere brand, Coast Cannabis Co., a line of all natural, organic products that will include chocolate bars and other confections of varying flavor profiles.
Brown and Cusick conducted an extensive search when selecting a construction manager for this important project. "Acella's process and communication throughout this venture was outstanding," said Cusick. "Acella's Cannabis Construction Team was knowledgeable, accessible and had a thorough understanding of our industry; as a result, they created a welcoming environment for our clients and our neighbors, while ensuring that all state regulations were met."
"It was a pleasure to partner with TBI on their exciting project and help construct a facility that they, their clients and the community of Wareham can take pride in," said Ryan LaVangie, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Acella Construction Corporation.
