Here are the two approaches to data science, which I call Sysadmin approach and Scientist approach.
Sysadmin approach: Use the knowledge obtained by reading Apache logs, nginx logs, systemd logs, cron logs, etc..
A good sysadmin would open the log file, press page down and watch it, stopping and scrolling back on anomalies.
A great sysadmin would make a couple iterations of grep -v/sed/awk/cut/sort/uniq -c and find the most interesting patterns within just well under an hour. For bonus points, they might use perl for it.
A sysadmin who is ready for data science will use jq instead of awk and python instead of perl. These admins are half ready to become full-stack data engineers. Especially if data science and infrastructure in their company is done in Python.
Scientist approach: Use whatever tools available to present raw logs as something that can be explained mathematically. Then abstract away from their appearance and look through substance.
A good scientist would find a way to convert data into manageable CSV/TSV. Then they will use gnuplot or Excel to look at distributions of certain events and properties.
A great data scientist will abstract away log structure even further, presenting data views as something R or SciPy can handle.
A data scientist who would load her data into Redis, ElasticSearch or an SQL-friendly storage to then leverage query engine of that tool is half way through their path to become full-stack data engineers.
How to tell whether someone is an ex-admin or ex-scientist?
Ask them a straightforward data question along the lines of "You have a couple gigabytes of logs, explain how would you compute X".
Say, X is the click-through-rate, CTR.
An admin would grep -c events that are clicks, grep -c events that are impressions, divide one by another and get the answer.
You would then ask whether this number makes sense. Hint: It might be above 100% due to a) duplicates, and b) click events w/o impression events.
An admin would then come up with the lists of distinct user ID-s who had a click event and distinct user ID-s who has an impression event.
You would then ask how do they know the users are canonical? For instance, if a user has created an account, then a click from their account ID later should be counted towards an impression they had while still being an anonymous user, with a client ID but no account ID.
What would a scientist do? Actually, pretty much the same. They might even use the very same grep / jq / awk / uniq commands.
Are all users created equal, or how do we weight users?
CTR per user is the fraction of the pieces of content they clicked out of all the content they saw.
Service-wide CTR is the average of all per-user CTR-s.
A user is uniquely identified by their account ID.
We discard anonymous users.Or: A user is unique identified by their client ID. We discard registered users. Or: We treat registered and anonymous users as equals.
Click and impression are the presence of certain event in logs.
We assume log events can be duplicated — the model already accounts for this, so it won't bother us.
What if you have plenty of users who saw just one piece of content and left? Their CTR will be 0%. If those users are 90%, the resulting CTR will never be more than 10% — even though the service may be doing really well, it's just that new marketing campaign attracts too many cheap yet uninterested users.
What if plenty of anonymous users have low CTR because their impressions count as anonymous, while the clicks happen after they have created an account?
A scientist would answer these questions during her natural flow of working with data.
The "data model first" frame of mind ensures that the right questions will ask themselves. The "no time, grep away" approach will get to some numbers faster, but trusting that data to make business decisions would be a mistake since every once in a while those numbers would not make much sense.
Even if both the scientist and the admin have used the same set of underlying tools.
Remember: She, who has asked the right question, already knows half the answer.
Data science is about asking the right questions. The answers will then inevitably come along.


The controversial Sydney Harbour floating heliport has been put on hold following a storm of criticism over the state government's mishandling of the project.
"Effective immediately, Newcastle Helicopters has put the project of the Sydney Harbour Floating Heliport on hold until further notice, in order to consider the feasibility of the operation going forward," the company in charge of the heliport said through its PR agency on Saturday afternoon.
"It is Newcastle Helicopter's intention to address the relevant concerns and queries with thoroughly considered and accurate information, and is taking the appropriate steps to do so".
Public anger has been rising for a month since the O'Farrell Government granted Newcastle Helicopters a licence to run unlimited flights from a barge on Sydney Harbour. It came to a head this week when federal opposition frontbencher Malcolm Turnbull labelled the project a "reckless" and "undemocratic" disgrace.
The Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner announced the projecton November 20, but it soon attracted criticism.
The agency responsible for approving the heliport, Roads and Maritime Services, granted the licence without consulting the community, doing an environmental impact statement, testing for noise or putting the plan out to tender. After an angry community meeting in North Sydney on Monday night, Newcastle Helicopters hastily arranged a noise test on Sydney Harbour to prove that the helicopters were as quiet as they said they would be.
But embarrassingly for the company and for the government, Fairfax Media revealed that the "expert" employed to do the sound tests, Carl Holden of Airport Friendly Solutions, had never previously produced a noise report for helicopters. He also conceded that he had been wrong to describe himself as a member of the Australian Acoustics [sic] Society. The peak body, which is actually called the Australian Acoustical Society, told Fairfax Media Mr Holden has never been a member, although he used to subscribe to its magazine.
The first ''noise assessment'' report Mr Holden wrote for Newcastle Helicopters, the company planning to operate the heliport, has since been ridiculed by industry leaders and removed from the project's website.
Then on Saturday, Fairfax Media revealed that the government only thought to question the safety of the helicopter service two weeks after it had approved the licence.
At 10am on Saturday about 100 opponents of the heliport met at the McMahons Point Community Centre to hash out their plan to stop the project.
By 11am, motions had been passed, a resolution drafted, and a high-powered group called the Friends of Sydney Harbour had been formed.
They include the federal opposition frontbencher Malcolm Turnbull, celebrated yachtsman and former lone round-the-world sailor, Ian Kiernan, the North Sydney mayor, Jilly Gibson, and many lawyers.
Mr Turnbull said the heliport decision had descended into farce.
The Premier, Barry O'Farrell, is still avoiding responsibility for the heliport debacle and deflecting questions to the Deputy Premier's office, even though the licensing agency, Roads and Maritime Services, reports to Roads and Ports minister Duncan Gay. Minister Gay's office is also referring questions to the Deputy Premier.
Mr Stoner said through a spokesperson that ''Newcastle Helicopters has advised the NSW Government that the Sydney Harbour Floating Heliport project has been put on hold, pending further discussions with relevant stakeholders''.
Newcastle Helicopters could not be reached for comment.


Pancreatitis may be acute, short-term with sudden onset or it may be chronic. Acute pancreatitis is usually resolved after a few days. It is accompanied by severe pain in the upper abdomen which may radiate to the back. The belly may be swollen and tender. In severe cases there may be other symptoms such as vomiting and nausea, chills and/or rapid heartbeat. There may also be lethargy, fatigue and disorientation.
Chronic pancreatitis may not be accompanied by severe pain. If there is severe pain it is usually totally debilitating. The lack of pain is not a good sign however as it signals extreme conditions such as total dysfunction of the organ. This may mean that the pancreas is no longer producing insulin which is the major cause of diabetes. It may mean that the liver has been severely damaged causing the yellowing of the skin (jaundice) or that fats are no longer being properly absorbed manifested by weight loss.
Most cases of pancreatitis are caused by alcoholism and gall stones. Pancreatitis caused by alcoholism is more common in males who have a history of alcoholic abuse. In the case of gall stones, a build-up of material in the gall bladder has produced a "stone" which may block the pancreatic duct thus causing that "digesting" of the pancreas itself. This is more often seen in females. Other causes may be injury to the organ, medication, or inherited anomalies.
Persons suffering from the acute pain of pancreatitis should seek medical help immediately, especially if non-prescription medication has not relieved the symptoms. Often a change in diet may help to relieve the symptoms. This would include smaller, more frequent meals high in carbohydrates and low in fats. A liquid diet of broth and gelatin may also help produce temporary relief. Of course, chronic pancreatitis will require long-term care for treatment of such ailments as diabetes or liver disease. The main treatment will include a change in lifestyle for those with alcohol abuse problems or poor diet.

Achieving success — it's the goal of all goals, yes? The Great White Whale of every impressive career. It's the thing we all chase, strive for, and build our day-to-day around.
But, more and more, I'm wondering … to what end?
We see the cycle over and over: Leaders working exhaustively, night and day, toward the next big promotion, the next standout project, the next dazzling result. This insatiable quest for 'more success' is the hallmark trait of nearly every driven leader I've worked with.
But once 'success' is achieved, are those leaders happy or satisfied?
Are they thrilled with themselves, their accomplishments, and, most importantly, with their overall life?
On rare occasions, yes … But usually, no.
In fact, some of the most successful, 'top of their game' professionals I know are also some of the most burned out, disappointed, and even downright depressed people. They work so hard (sometimes at enormous personal expense) to reach some success benchmark only to feel entirely empty once they reach it.
Article after article, and talk after talk delve into why this occurs: If success is the thing we're all endlessly chasing, why don't we feel fulfilled once we achieve it?
Coaches like me will say it's because success is usually sought after in a very short-sighted way: Chase this thing, than that next thing. It's rarely pursued tied to a larger sense of life purpose and meaningful contribution. Instead, we measure success by external markers: my boss said I'm successful, that review said I'm successful, that media coverage said I'm successful.
But what matters is: Do YOU think you're successful? Does the work you do serve the overall picture you have for your life? If not, no matter how many accolades you rack up, your accomplishments will still feel empty.
"I have seen business moguls achieve their ultimate goals but still live in frustration, worry and fear. What's preventing these successful people from being happy? The answer is: They focused only on achievement and not fulfillment.
But, of course … you KNOW this already! You've heard this all before.
You know purpose matters. You know your work should "start with why." But you still don't prioritize infusing a sense of real purpose into your day to day work, or your day to day life.
It's easier to just keep working endless hours. It's easier to just carry on the same old way. After all, life's good enough, right? You're happy enough.
Well, I'm here to tell you … great leaders don't burn themselves out or numb themselves out. And, the difference between great leaders and 'good enough' executives is the way they define 'success'… and how they go about pursuing it.
They take action with a sense of purpose.
The best executives I work with don't talk about where they want to go or what title they want to rise to. Instead, they talk about the impact they want to have, the ways they want to make a difference … in their company, in their industry, in the world.
They also remember at all times that they're not just leading a team or their company. They're also leading their family, the families of their employees, and the community around them.
What drives their work is something far bigger than winning the next promotion. Their daily decisions reflect a larger sense of direction, values and mission.
Effective leaders stay personally plugged into their family, their colleague relationships, to themselves and to their health. They intuitively realize that fulfillment in life correlates directly to the deep connections we create. What matters are strong relationships in the here and now. Not the ones we eventually invest in … later, down the road, you know, after we finish just this one last thing first.
As such, true leaders know when to log off email and pay attention to their family. They step away from their desk and have lunch with their team. They talk to people face-to-face, in real time. And their lives and their career are better for it.
They prioritize humility and resilience.
Things don't always go your way when you're a leader. Sometimes your ego and other related behaviors create strong reactions from the environment around you. Even the best leaders make wrong decisions and they have no one to blame but themselves.
No matter what the root cause of their epic 'failure,' great leaders have the resilience to dust themselves off, learn from what happened and keep going. And most importantly — they consider the fumble itself a vital and valuable part of their success (not a detraction from it).
They measure success by why brings out the best in them. Sometimes that's flawless execution, and sometimes that's a massive mistake that teaches them a critical, career-defining lesson. So, remember with humor and compassion: You're only human (and so is everyone else around you).
They make their health a top priority.
It's refreshing to see more and more successful leaders refusing to buy into the toxic, played out corporate notion that working 24/7 is somehow heroic or noble. Instead, they recognize the toll leadership takes and, in response, they take excellent care of themselves in order to bring their best to the table … consistently.
And hey, not everyone is burning the midnight oil by force, right? Many visionary leaders love what they do and can't help but pour all of their energy into a new project or the current work challenge. The only problem is, this state of mind can be very helpful, but it's also a never ending stressful process.
Over time that ongoing stress kills your performance and wreaks havoc on your health. Great leaders understand this and pace themselves from the start. They prioritize sleep, exercise, and unplugged downtime, knowing they'll show up better for everyone else later if they show up for themselves a bit each and every day.
Look, believe me — I'm no one to throw stones on this particular topic.
I know the glass house I live in. The relentless urge to strive, strive, strive is practically part of my DNA. It was certainly a fundamental part of my upbringing.
I was raised by an incredibly "successful" VP of Sales in France. My father was a self-made, elite executive and, as his daughter, I saw both the bright light of his public professional triumph AND the dark shadow of stress and personal loss obtaining that 'success' cost him … and cost me, my brothers (especially), and our entire family.
What I know from my personal experience and from working with thousands of top-tier professionals every day for over 30 years … 'success' is not all it's cracked up to be.
Pursuing success for the sake of success actually makes you LESS inspiring and LESS effective as a leader.
Feeling deeply connected to a sense of meaning, to a sense of connection with others, and to a sense of what keeps you grounded as a human being is not a 'novel, trendy notion' … it is ESSENTIAL not only to your success as a great leader, but also to your success in life.
I wish you the truest kind of success there is — fulfillment!

I really wanted a blog so I can share my journey into sustainable living, If others can learn something then thats great, I don't profess to be this guru, just a man that's willing to tell of his success and failures.
Congratulations on getting the blog up and running.

I want to take a screenshot from a multi monitor setup on android.
For example if you have a chromebook an external monitor can be attached.
How other screen capture applications seem to work is to use MediaProjectionManager.createScreenCaptureIntent(), however it let the user choose a specific screen.

UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE: INNOVATIONS NEEDED IN REGULATIONS
[vc_single_image image="1050″ qode_css_animation=""]
Dr. Sanju Ganju is the founder chairman of Atrimed Pharmaceuticals, a company modernizing Ayurveda. He is the founder of 'Save a Mother', a healthcare NGO, which works in over 1200 villages. During his career, he has participated in over a hundred non-profit projects.In the past, he was the CEO of Reliance Health and Technology, executive director of America India Foundation, chairman of Action for India and adviser to Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust. He also served in the Indian army. He graduated from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi and specializes in gastroenterology and hepatology.
In most other countries, the constitution requires the government to provide some form of healthcare. The implementation, however, suffers from deficit of policy, government or resources even in the countries that consider healthcare as a part of social justice. The Author talks about how India can lead with innovations in legislation, policy, governance and finance to provide health for all.
Adequate healthcare is both, a prerequisite and a consequence, of the growth of a country. A health system can deliver public health and medical services, if its solid foundation includes skilled workforce, information systems, medical products, technology, adequate financing and governance. While technology can provide innovative tools to improve health, it is the regulatory framework whichcan provide the enabling ecosystem. It is important that Innovations not be limited to drugs and devices but also include regulations.Ultimately,it is laws that determine financing and structure of healthcare.
The nations of the world have included healthcare in their legal framework in some form.Almost all countries are signatories to one or more international human rights or health rights declarations.
One third of the countries include healthcare as a constitutional right for individual citizens. Russiaand former countries of the Soviet bloc Italy, Spain, Brazil, Philippines and South Africa have maintained health as human right in their constitution. On the other end of the spectrum are countries like the USA, which have no individual constitutional right to healthcare.
In most other countries, the constitution requires the government to provide some form of healthcare. The implementation,however, suffers from deficit of policy, governance or resources even in the countries that consider healthcare as a part of social justice.
India extrapolates health rights from other parts of the constitution.The right to health in India is outlined the Directive Principles of State Policy- Articles 42 and 47 and the fundamental right to life as stated in article 21.
Article 42 states that the State shall make provision for securing just and humane conditions of work and for maternity relief.
Article 47 states that the State shall regard the raising of level of nutrition and the standard of living of its people and the improvement of public health as among its primary duties and, in particular, the State shall endeavor to bring about prohibition of the consumption, except for medicinal purposes, of intoxicating drinks and of drugs which are injurious to health.
Article 21,"The Fundamental Right to Life" guaranties individual life.
The Indian judiciary has interpreted the "Right to Life' in many ways. It has held that humane working conditions, health services and medical care are an essential part of Article 21. Public interest litigation, as well as litigation arising out of claims made by individuals,has generated substantial case law showingright to health is an integral part of the Right to Life.
For technological innovations to flourish in its current stage of development, India needs more proactive regulations to progress towards universal healthcare.
Currently the Indian government spends about 1 percent of GDP on healthcare. Compare that to 3 percent in China and 8.3 percent in the USA. Private expenditure on healthcare is in addition to public expenditure; approximately 70% of health expenditure in India is from private sources.
A study done by PGI Chandigarh, suggests that universal health care services for entire 1.2 billion population, the annual cost of providing preventive and curative services will be INR 2415 billion (USD 54 billion). This would amount to increasing the allocation to health sector from current nearly 1% to 3.8% of GDP.
Indian business association, FICCI and consultants EY, estimated in 2012 that universal health cover would require government health spending to increase to 3.7-4.5 percent of GDP.
The current government, under the National Health Assurance Mission, would provide all citizens free drugs and diagnostic treatment and insurance cover to treat serious ailments. It would cost an estimated $11.4 billion annually.
In 2010, a High Level Expert Group on Universal Health Coverage recommended increasing public financing from 1% of the gross domestic product to at least 2.5% to provide essential health care package through tax funding and employer-provided insurance.
The Lancet published an India focused issue on health in Jan 2011. The lead authors (K SrinathReddy, Vikram Patel, Prabhat Jha, Vinod K Paul, A K Shiva Kumar, Lalit Dandona),summarized the recommendations of various working groups as 'call to action' as follows. They propose the following targets to be achieved by 2020 through the creation of the Integrated National Health System with three overarching goals: ensure the reach and quality of health services to all in India; reduce the financial burden of health care on individuals; and empower people to take care of their health and hold the health-care system accountable.
• The entire population should be covered by an entitlement package of health care with
financing from a combination of public, employer, and private sources. Full range of relevant diseases need to be included in the entitlement package of health services with cost-effective interventions that include health promotion and disease prevention.
• All health practitioners and facilities in the public and private sectors have to be registered with the Integrated National Health System.
Health Financing
• Public spending on health should be increased from 1% to 6% of the gross domestic product, and 15% of tax revenues—including new taxes on tobacco products, alcohol, and food with little nutritional value—should be earmarked for this purpose.
• Reduce the proportion of out-of-pocket spending from 80% to 20% of the total health expenditure.
• Increase spending on health research to 8% of the health budget.
Human resources for health
• Establish the Indian Health Service with guidelines developed through an autonomous National Council for Human Resources in Health.
• An updated training curriculum should be fully in place for medical and allied professions that is relevant to the situation in India.
• Establish suitable incentive structures to retain health providers in underserved areas.
Health information system
• Have in place comprehensive health information and surveillance system that covers all major diseases, health-system issues, and key social determinants, which also facilitates assessment of public health interventions.
• Establish adequate research capacity in India to investigate and report key issues that affect the health system and policy for further improvements.
• Have in place a fully functional autonomous council that compiles and synthesizes relevant information to develop guidelines for evidence-based health care and its assessment.
Drugs and technology
• Implement a national network of pharmacies for generic low-cost drugs for the entire population.
• Establish mechanisms for bulk purchase of patented drugs at low cost.
• Have in place mechanisms to check and control the use of perverse incentives by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for health-care providers.
• Have in place mechanisms to make functional the components of the National Health Bill.
• Have a system in place that requires all middle and senior functionaries in public health to have relevant training in public health.
• Ensure devolution of responsibility for health care to district management systems along with accountability mechanisms and explicit community participation (The Lancet, Jan 2011).
India, at current stage of development needs more healthcare in every form and not less. Multiple studies have confirmed the fiscal feasibility and for technological innovations to flourish we needs a progressive enabling ecosystem.
Opposition to right to health emphasizes that it could increase the fiscal deficit;it could create shortage and increase the wait time for medical services, which would lead to rationing and lower the quality. It could also cause people to overuse health care resources. While appreciating valid opposing view, human development is not possible without guaranteed healthcare. Financial burden of a single episode of disease pushes millions of Indians into poverty, which stifles the market for technological progress.
Health and longevity have improved as never before in human history. And with explosive growth in the knowledge of human biology and genetics, it is likely that the life span will increase exponentially. It may even change the very definition of health to include happiness, intelligence and aesthetics as components of a new paradigm. It is imperative that innovations in legislation, policy, governance and finance will have to stay ahead of the burgeoning technologic innovations and not fall behind to irrelevance. It is important to have innovative strategic thinkers in the leadership positions that understand biology, healthcare, governance and finance.

When considering debt consolidation, a lot of people imagine a major loan, obtained and designed to pay back all debt at once. The consumer is then able to concentrate on only one major loan. This is known as a debt consolidation loan. This is often the first debt relief option that folks will consider. It appears reasonable and beneficial as a way of stream-lining debt installments.
Though this is a legit way of consolidating your debts, many industry experts frown upon it. Making use of a debt to repay another debt is not necessarily resolving the issue. However, this will still work as long as you only want to lessen your month to month debt payments but not lower your balance. The use of a personal loan to repay credit card debt, you could certainly reduce your rates of interest. It is because personal loans have lesser rates of interest than charge cards.
Consolidation loans may also be helpful to apply to student loan debts. There is a method for this via the Department of Education. This popular education loan consolidation technique is the Direct Consolidation Loan. Your federal loans can be consolidated and the installments will be determined by the average interest rate. Through this approach, the payment time can be stretched out over a longer time and your monthly bills will be minimized. National Debt Relief offers a consultancy service available to people that qualify and will assist with Direct Consolidation Loan documents. Once you've accepted improved payment terms, the one time charge is just $699. In terms of school loans, this is a very good strategy. You can even do this in Addison, Alabama.
It's also important to note that this option is only best for those that are able to pay back the whole balance of their debt. You do have to have a constant income and the capability to make every installment payment for this to be a practical approach.
Not only this, you'll want to ensure that you have a great credit score. If you're not smart about it, you can have an increased rate of interest on the loan. When you have a bad credit score, it really won't make any sense to acquire a consolidation loan. If you get a consolidation loan, use that money to repay the debt. Then, develop a repayment plan that will guarantee that this loan will be paid off.
If you feel you should have specialized help, the debt consolidation plan that you will want to choose is financial debt management. With debt management, a qualified credit counselor helps you to analyze the distinctive finances and consumer debt circumstances of the consumer. Once the credit counselor reviews your budgetary information and facts, he or she will help you determine which debt relief program is best for you.
You will then work together to construct the most effective debt management program for your situation. The debts that you can enroll in this method include things like credit card debt, healthcare debts, loans and other unsecured debt. This plan should have a lower repayment period and a reduced monthly installment. The expert can also negotiate with your creditors for reduced interest, although you may not get it. The top aim is for the creditors and lenders to agree with the program. Then, you will simply send your payments to the credit consultant. Each payment is going to be sent out among the lenders and creditors by the credit counselor.
A credit specialist will be of remarkable help with a month-to-month charge of only $50. Keep in mind, you've got to be honest about your financial circumstances and means to make payments if you'd like debt management to be a good method. Don't default on any payments! This would terminate the whole agreement. If this happens, you end up back with the payment arrangements which you started with.
Debt negotiation (or debt reduction) is a approach to debt consolidation which results in a more affordable payment (usually a lump sum payment) for the whole of what you owe. It involves a negotiation system in which you can propose to pay pennies per dollar that you owe. Upon agreeing to a settlement amount, the lender/creditor forgives the rest of the unpaid debt.
You can seek the services of a qualified professional to assist you with this technique or manage the task, yourself. Help with debt negotiation is offered from companies like National Debt Relief. The value is roughly 20% of the full amount of personal debt enrolled in the services. These services are performance based, without advance costs. They accept unsecured financial debt that total $7,500 or higher. Their professional services involve assistance with the lender or creditor discussions to lower financial debt. You will have somebody on your side and on your team until you've successfully resolved the financial debt. You'll even have the opportunity to discover more about handling financial resources and consumer credit, assisting to help you stay away from the same situation down the road.
Medical bills, credit balances, personal loans and debt in collection are covered by debt negotiation services like those of National Debt Relief. Normally, secured loans will not be eligible. A few exceptions involve a reduced value or accepting repossession. However , typically, this consolidation strategy is most suitable for unsecured loans.
For people in Addison who are overwhelmed with plenty of unpaid debt, you may want to give some thought to any one of these debt consolidation plans to make it easier to resolve your financial challenges. Yet be sure that you realize those that work best with your financial predicament.
How will you know for sure? Start by asking yourself a few important questions.
Exactly what are you in a position of paying?
People that can afford to repay the personal debt in time will benefit from debt management or debt consolidation loans. Debt negotiation is a better option for consumers without the income to repay the debt. This is the debt consolidation plan that will enable you to pay only a portion of the unpaid debt and get the rest forgiven. This method is recommended if you have fallen behind on your payments or are just about to fall overdue.
Exactly how bad or good is your current credit history?
Poor credit is a sure sign that consolidation loans will not be within your available choices. Otherwise, the loan shall be made with an increased interest - which erases one of the benefits of the debt relief strategy. Debt management or debt negotiation are more desirable options for those with poor credit.
What type of obligations have you got?
The particular kind of consumer debt is likewise a very important concern. Consolidation loans are the most effective option for secured debt. You could re-finance your house to raise the money to help repay your doctor bills. A lot of people are able to minimize rates of interest by applying debt consolidation loans to charge card balances.
Will you be ready to make sacrifices?
You must give thought to the sacrifices that you're willing to make to reduce your debt. You lose time with consolidation loans and debt management given that you can't receive lower monthly installments without an extended payment schedule. You also pay more in interest rates, as time passes. If you would like to retire or have to take care of financial debt more quickly for another reason, you might not have enough time to sacrifice. Debt negotiation could be the better answer. With cooperative lenders and creditors, this can be a quicker alternative. Even so, you have to understand that debt negotiation is able to reduce your credit score. You'll be able to rebuild your credit, yet this also will take time that you might not have, especially if you must obtain a loan in the near future.
All of these solutions may be functional for Addison, Alabama families. Yet, you have got to assess your own situation to choose the perfect approach for you. That way, you are certain to implement the perfect program which will let you eliminate your debt once and for all.

The other night, I dipped into Molten Core with a 90 Pandaren Monk, having a great time soloing the place given the utterly laughable amount of health those Classic raid bosses have in comparison to today's. However, Molten Core was the only raid instance in the game before 5.1 that you could get into without a raid group (by teleporting directly into it via the NPC outside).
In 5.1, this changed – all pre-Pandaria raids now no longer require raid groups, which means you can go in as a party, or, more importantly, by yourself. This is a huge change, and it means that if you don't want to be part of a raiding guild but still want to see some of the best content WoW can provide, you can now just head on in by yourself and crush it all (within reason).
However, once you hit Vashj, the end boss of Burning Crusade's Serpentshrine Cavern, you'll swiftly realise that not only do you have to think like a DPS nut, but you've also got to think like a tank, and a healer. It's a tough job, especially if you're a monk, as you'll swiftly end up being chain-feared all over the place if you're not killing off the right mobs from extreme range (which is not very easy in that class).
Even if you're a mage, you'll find yourself doing a little tanking, and it's amusing because you're probably not that used to it, at least when using that class. The only notable time a mage has tanked anything was in the Maulgar fight in Gruul's Lair, so to think of yourself crunching through Onyxia or Ragnaros as they wail on you in fury is quite a surreal thought.
But if you're used to firing off spells, arrows and what-not from range, or healing, then you're going to need to start thinking like a tank – being the focus of a raid boss is a lot of work, and a high amount of stress, even if you're very powerful. While you may know how to play your class extremely well, if you've never had to tank with it or heal yourself solo as you do so, then you're going to be in for a wipe-filled learning experience.
Your best bet is, as you level, to always challenge yourself while soloing content. Killing ten undead? Take four or five at once, and see how you do. By putting yourself in a position where it's you with the aggro and the damage, you'll teach yourself quickly how to manage fights where the odds aren't always in your favour. You'll also start to think about positioning, pace, taking risks, maintaining battles on multiple fronts – all good tanking skills.
The best part is you don't have to worry about the most important part of tanking – keeping aggro. Why? Well, because you're the only one there! So with that taken care of, things are actually pretty simple as long as you read up on some of the harder fights and ensure that certain mechanics won't take you out. A great part of soloing raid content is that boss abilities quite frequently avoid the person at the top of the aggro list, so many of the really dangerous boss abilities (like X's "HP down to 1" nightmare in Karazhan) are a non-issue unless you've got a pet.
So your best bet is to grab some potions (just in case), buff yourself up, ensure your iLVL is a reasonable way past 400, and go for it. To comfort you, let me put it this way – you'll have, on average, more health than most of the trash you'll run into in Classic and BC, and Magtheridon on a 90 Pandaren Monk takes five minutes and doesn't require any desperate measures. Have fun!

L'eparchia di Južno-Sachalinsk e Curili (in russo: Южно-Сахалинская и Курильская епархия) è una delle eparchie della chiesa ortodossa russa nell'Estremo Oriente Russo, situata nell'oblast' di Sachalin che è formata da l'isola omonima e Isole Curili. L'eparchia ha sede a Južno-Sachalinsk, dove si trova la cattedrale della Resurrezione.

Storia
La penetrazione del cristianesimo ortodosso russo in questa zona fu legata alla colonizzazione avvenuta ad opera dei Cosacchi siberiani nel XVI – XVII secolo. I metropoliti di Tobol'sk furono i primi eparchi della Siberia fino all'Oceano Pacifico. Dal 1727 al 1840 Sachalin e Curili fu sotto la cura pastorale dei vescovi di Irkutsk. Già intanto al 1730 si osserva una diffusione abbastanza ampia del cristianesimo fra la popolazione locale Ainu della Kamčatka e delle Curili. Nel 1840 viene creata la nuova eparchia della Kamčatka, delle isole Curili e Isole Aleutine. Nel 1899 i territori dell'Estremo Oriente furono riorganizzati e Sachalin passò sotto la giurisdizione dei vescovi di Vladivostok. Dopo la perdita nel 1905 della meta meridionale dell'isola alla fine della Guerra russo-giapponese la popolazione ortodossa passò alla giurisdizione dell'arcivescovo di Tokio, a quell'epoca sull'isola sorgevano 10 chiese e 6 cappelle.

L'attuale eparchia è sorta il 23 febbraio 1993.

Antonio de Noli (born 1415 or possibly 1419) was a 15th-century Genoese nobleman and navigator, and the first governor of the earliest European overseas colony in Subsaharan Africa. He discovered some of the Cape Verde islands on behalf of Henry the Navigator and he was made first Governor of Cape Verde by King Afonso V. In most history or geographic books, including ancient chronicles, or encyclopedias, he is referred as Antonio de Noli, as well as in official information by the Government of Cape Verde or in Cape Verde history articles or references. In Italy, he is known also as Antonio da Noli or sometimes referred as Antoniotto Usodimare.

Biography
Antonio de Noli was born to a patrician family in Genoa, Italy, as referred in ancient sources of the epoch; e.g. Portuguese king's historian João de Barros stated already in 1552 that Antonio Noli was born in Genoa, and "of noble blood". Modern historians and researches also specify Antonio Noli as Genovese or Genoese, e.g. Dumoriez (1762), Thomas (1860), Hamilton (1975), Diffie and Winius (1977), Irwin and Wilson (1999). It has also been put forward that Antonio de Noli would have instead born in Noli (Savona) Italy. After he was exiled from Genoa amid political disputes compromising main families Fregoso and Adorno, Antonio de Noli (Navy captain, and cartography expert) sailed to Portugal  in command of a small expedition of three vessels and with his brother Bartholomew (a Genoa lawyer) and nephew Raphael. In Portugal, de Noli became engaged in Ultramar explorations by Henry the Navigator. From 1462 to 1496, he founded and then was Captain of Ribeira Grande (modern-day Cidade Velha) at the southern end of Santiago Island.

The de Noli family is believed to have its ancient roots in "the small city and Castle of Noli". By the 14th century, there were two main branches of the Noli family in Northern Italy sharing a pre-medieval origin in the ancient territory of Noli (Savona province). One branch was established in Genoa, Liguria, and the other in Novara, Piedmont, where the Noli ("famiglia di signore") inhabited the Castle of Cameriano by the beginning of the 15th century. It is also recorded that members of the Noli family established in Genoa participated in government already by the 13th century, i.e. as "Consigliere della Signoria" in 1261. In 1382, Giacomo de Noli, ancestor of Captain Antonio de Noli, was appointed one member of the Twelve-Elderly Council of Genoa ("XII-Anziani del Comune") under the lead of Duke Nicolas de Guarco. When Nicolas de Guarco took over the rule of Genoa after the Fregoso, in 1378, he had "appointed in positions of trust the noblemen which have been neglected in the previous administrations", and thus also appointed the Fieschi. The participation of the de Noli in the Guarco's ruling of Genoa in alliance with the Fieschi would have, years afterwards, dramatic consequences for Antonio de Noli and his brother Bartholomew. Those prior political associations of the de Noli in Genoa provide a helpful background in explaining both their forced departure to exile in Portugal in 1447, and also the circumstances around the later repatriation of their descendants some decades after, first in Cesena and finally anew in homeland Genoa.

Discoveries

Old history records attribute Antonio de Noli the discovery of Cape Verde Islands, supposedly "the ancient Hesperides of Pliny and Ptolemy". This according to a carta regia (royal letter) of 19 September 1462. It is uncertain which of the Cape Verde Islands were discovered by Antonio de Noli. Some of the islands are mentioned in a letter of donation dated 3 December 1460; the rest in the above-mentioned from 19 September 1462. Noli has claim to discovering the first set of islands, while the second were possibly found by Diogo Gomes. However, the events in question are poorly recorded in documents from the time, a reasonable alternative would be that some or all of these second set of islands were discovered by Diogo Dias, Diogo Afonso and Alvise Cadamosto.

The official royal letter of 29 October 1462 states that it was Diogo Afonso, the king's scribe, who had discovered the other (last) seven islands that were mentioned in the royal letter of 19 September 1462. This letter of 19 September 1462 grants all the islands of Cape Verde to Dom Fernando and the other seven islands are designated but the discoverer is not named. In this letter, Antonio de Noli's name is given as the discoverer of the first five islands, being also the first time he is mentioned by name as the discoverer. The letter of 3 December 1460 was a royal grant to Infante Ferdinand the Saint Prince after the demise of his brother Henry the Navigator in 1460.

Descendants

Governor Antonio de Noli had one daughter (Dona Branca de Aguiar, who married the Portuguese nobleman Dom Jorge Correia de Sousa, fidalgo da casa real) and one son, who is mentioned to have accompanied him during the early exploration years in mainland Africa. During the occupation of Cape Verde Islands by Castile (a main base of modern Spain) during the Portuguese-Castilian war of 1475–1479, the Italian Antonio de Noli remained governor in spite of his titles had been given to him by the Portuguese. In the aftermath of the Treaty of Alcáçovas in 1479 and the reestablishment of Portuguese rule, the governorship of the Islands went instead to Noli's daughter Branca and her Portuguese spouse. Thereafter, no records of the whereabouts on Antonio Noli – including his demise or location of his son and descendants, or his fortune (as well as in the case of his Genoa brother Bartholomew or nephew Raphael) – have been found in Portugal, Cape Verde, or Spain. In 1497, the Noli were still banned from returning to Italy via Genoa for political reasons.

In 2008, several manuscripts indicating the presence of the de Noli family in Cesena by the end of 1400 and not earlier, was found at the Biblioteca Malatestiana in Cesena, Italy. Among the Malatestiana Library manuscripts, two separate documents depicting the coat of arms of the Noli family were also found. In one of these manuscripts, "Famiglia Noli oriunda" was written under the Noli coat of arms. The reference to "oriunda" in this context means "not from Cesena", thus "coming from an outer territory". The first entry of the de Noli in the Cesena manuscripts refers to "Simone de Antonio Noli Biondi", which indicates, according to naming praxis at the time, that Antonio Noli was his father. Later, and with the name Simone de Noli Biondi, he is mentioned in another manuscript as a member of the Cesena Council (Consiglio di Cesena) in 1505. The same position was held in later years by two other de Noli descendants, Antonio Noli of Tregga rotta in 1552 and Antonio de Noli Biondi in 1556. This Antonio de Noli ceased to be a member of the Cesena Council in 1558 and afterwards the family de Noli was reported in a Malatestiana manuscript as "extinct" in Cesena. However, a few years later, descendants of an Antonio de Noli appeared again, living in Northern Genoa (Valleregia, Serra Ricco). The first register of the de Noli in the Family book of Valleregia Parish of the period took place in 1586. The entries show the names of Antonio de Noli, Bartholomew, Simone, Raphael, and others known names used already in the previous generation of navigator Antonio de Noli and his descendants. The descendants of the de Noli family established anew in the hamlet of Noli in Northern Genoa (La frazione di Noli al comune di Serra Ricco). Like most of the de Noli families with Ligurian ancestry, the coat of arms of the family of Antonio de Noli and his descendants carries the red and white colours of the ancient cities of Noli and Genoa.

Legacy

During World War II, an Italian destroyer was named Antonio da Noli. It sank after striking a mine off the coast of Corsica on 9 September 1943, the day after the Italian surrender to the Allies (see Navigatori class destroyer).

Beheading you, beheading me
Published on 10th April, 2016, in Mid-Day.
Have you been noticing the rising number of politicians and 'religious leaders' who seem obsessed with lopping off heads: either their own or that of others. Are they influenced by tales of head-offering that we find in the Puranas?
It all starts with Rudra, the fiercest form of Shiva, who wrenches off the fifth head of Brahma that mouths profanities on seeing the Goddess. The head, or kapala, sears into Shiva's palm, transforming him into Kapalika, who has to wander the earth and find a place where he can rid himself of the head in his hand. Liberation happens when he washes his hand in Kashi.
The same theme is repeated when Virabhadra, another form of Shiva, beheads Daksha, who insults Shiva, causing Daksha's daughter and Shiva's wife, Sati, to commit suicide. In art, the Bhairava form of Shiva is often shown as a cherubic child holding a human head in one hand or bedecked with a garland of skulls (munda-mala).
In folk traditions, it is Bhairava himself who is beheaded by the Goddess (as in the tale attached to Vaishno Devi temple of Jammu) for his persistent impertinence. Bhairava apologises and so, on the instructions of the Goddess, his head becomes worthy of worship.
The Goddess herself in the form of Kali wears a string of male heads around her body. As the Goddess Kotravai of Tamil literature, associated with battlegrounds, she accompanies Kartikeya, the warlord son of Shiva. There are many folk tales such as Patala-Bhairavi and Malati-Madhava where tantrikas offer human sacrifice to Kali. In Adbhuta Ramayana, Mahiravana seeks to offer Ram's head to Kali.
Perhaps the most powerful image of self-decapitation is that of Chinnamastika, the goddess of the cut head. She beheads herself and the chopped head drinks the blood spurting out of her own severed neck. She does this while seated on a copulating couple, thus embodying the violence and sexual principles of nature.
Then there are tales where heroes (vira) who offer their head to a God, or Goddess, in order to display devotion or obtain fame. In Tamil Mahabharata, Aravan offers to be beheaded if it ensures victory of the Pandavas. In the Mahabharata narrated in the Rajasthan area, Barbarika or the son of Bhima, offers his head to Krishna to enable victory for the Pandavas. In both these tales the hero asks that his bodiless head be placed on a vantage spot, either a mountain top or a tree, from where he can see the battle at Kurukshetra.
The idea of a vira offering his own head to Durga is popular theme in calendar art. In the early 20th century this metamorphosed into patriots offering their head to Bharat Mata, literally on a plate. This is an inversion of the European tale of Thugees. While Western novelists popularised the myth of Indian thugs beheading unsuspecting travellers and offering their heads to Kali, the nationalist writers countered it by speaking of patriots who offer their own heads as martyrs in the service of the motherland.
These tales can be taken symbolically as sacrifice of pride or ego. Or perhaps they are visual indicators of occult tantrik rituals that involved human skulls. But many love to take them literally. These include Bollywood/Hollywood filmmakers who love to show the macabre side of India, as well as religious radicals whose political masters have valourised and glamourised bloodlust, perhaps mimicking the global vocabulary of religious and state-sponsored terrorism.

Ulster have landed a major coup in attracting former All Black international Jono Gibbes to Kingspan Stadium as head coach ahead of the 2017-18 season.
The New Zealander revealed that the recent meetings between the French side and Ulster in the European Champions Cup pool stages gave him an insight into the strength of the squad.
Gibbes is contracted to Clermont until the end of the 2018 season but there was a release clause allowing him to leave early if the opportunity of a head coach position came up elsewhere.
Gibbes is no stranger to Irish shores having been forwards coach at Leinster for six years from 2008-2014.
During his time there Leinster won three Heineken Cup titles. The first of those successes came under the stewardship of now Australian National coach Michael Cheika in 2009, before he assisted Joe Schmidt in the 2011 and 2012 triumphs.
He moved to France in 2014 and was part of a coaching set-up that guided Clermont to the Top 14 and Champions Cup finals in his debut season.
In addition to his expertise in forward play, the 40-year-old has also gained valuable experience in coaching other aspects of the game, such as attack, during his stints at Leinster and Clermont.
"The respect that I have for Le (Kiss)s, as a coach and as a person, was one of my main reasons for making this decision. He really sold his vision of where he wants to take Ulster over the next few years.
"Ulster is a team that I know well, having come up against them on a number of occasions. The Clermont-Ulster games this season gave me an insight into the strengths of the squad and it's exciting to think that I'll be part of that environment from next season.
Ulster Director of Rugby Kiss added: "Jono's CV speaks for itself and I know that he's looking forward to joining Ulster and working with the team.
" Jono has vast experience on both the playing and coaching fronts, having worked in many different environments such as Super Rugby, PRO12, the French Top 14 and European competitions.
"Since his retirement from playing, Jono has had an integral role in the coaching teams of two of European rugby's most successful sides. He was a key part of the Leinster set-up that won three Heineken Cups in four years and he has continued to be hugely successful during his time in France.

Q: Windows hosts file and IIS binding question I'm building a few SharePoint sites, and I want to make use of zones so I may set security different in the various zones.
My workstation has a local SharePoint, and I use it for development.
My workstation has a static IP, and is connected to the internet.
When I make a SharePoint site, I want to add a host header, for instance, devbox.com.
I do not own this name, nor do I want to.
I then add an entry in my hosts file, but when I surf to http://devbox.com:8080, it does not resolve.
Do I need to register the name I want to use, or should this work, i.e., have my hosts file resolve names/IPs first?

A: It should work. You will need to make sure your website has the right mappings, though. For example, if you want your site to respond to http://devbox.com:8080, you'll need to either set up your website to respond to all IP addresses and port 8080, or to respond to the devbox.com host header and port 8080.
BTW, to test whether your HOSTS file is set up correcly, open up a command line and PING devbox.com.  You should see the address resolved to your local machine's IP address.  If not, you've done something wrong in how you've set up your HOSTS file... please post the line in the HOSTS file that you're using.
BTW, per my comment below, you should probably use 127.0.0.1 (aka localhost) in your HOSTS file line, rather than your external IP. This will remove the IP address as a potential point of failure (e.g. in case a firewall blocks the traffic)


The research, conducted by serialisation software provider, SEA Vision and life sciences technology firm, Zenith Technologies, highlighted that the substantial investment required to implement a serialisation solution is cause for concern ahead of regulatory deadlines in the US and Europe.
A further 33% of survey respondents stated the implementation process would be a drain on internal resource.
Others (31%) cited tight timescales as a pain point, a statistic that is further supported by the announcement that the FDA will delay the active enforcement of the Drug Supply Chain and Security Act (DSCSA), due to a lack of readiness across the industry.
Carlos Machado, Serialisation Director at SEA Vision US, said: "The new regulations in the EU and the US represent a substantial upfront investment for companies across the supply chain and many smaller players are struggling to implement a suitable process as a result.
"The resource required in terms of cost and manpower is a notable barrier to compliance, but added to that the time it takes to develop a solution has been gravely underestimated by a large part of the industry. Many (37%) of our survey respondents expressed concerns surrounding the potential disruption to product supply as a result of technical issues and downtime, which clearly demonstrates the impact serialisation could have at an operational level.
Consolidation across the outsourcing space has been prevalent for some time now and serialisation is undoubtedly driving smaller companies to consider partnerships to offset a lack of manpower and budget.
However, 36% also believed that there was a knowledge gap in their existing teams surrounding serialisation, making external expertise vital to ensuring compliance.
Machado continued: "With time and cost becoming a growing concern across the pharmaceutical industry, it is no surprise that smaller partners, particularly contract manufacturers are looking to consolidate to expand their internal resource.
In 2016, SEA Vision and Zenith Technologies formed a global partnership to support pharmaceutical companies with the impending challenge of installing and integrating serialisation across drug manufacturing sites.
The collaboration brings together Italian-based SEA Vision's serialisation system along with global Zenith Technologies' ability to integrate systems and deliver ongoing technical support at a local level.

All Our Yesterdays - S3-E23
Continuity mistake: When the prosecutor visits the cell, Kirk's hands on the bars change positions when the camera angle reverses. From the inside, there's one bar between Kirk's hands. From outside, there are two. (00:28:10)
Jean G
Character mistake: Spock tells Zarabeth he came from a world "millions of light-years away." The galaxy is only about 100,000 light-years across - the area the Federation has explored even smaller.
Revealing mistake: Zarabeth tells Spock that Zor Khan only left her what was necessary to survive in the ice age. Mascara, eyeliner, lipstick and hairspray were apparently considered survival necessities. Yes, we know the actress "had" to wear make-up. But in a prehistoric setting, it shouldn't look as though she did. She could and should have been given a more "natural" make-up job - and an unlacquered hairdo. (00:38:25)
Audio problem: In Zarabeth's cave, when McCoy says, "You've been dishonest with me, Spock," his lips are completely out of sync with his words. (00:42:00)
Continuity mistake: In Kirk's log entry, which he somehow makes from jail without a tricorder, he states that 5 witnesses heard him speak to the "spirits." This isn't true, and Kirk ought to know it. The crowd rushed in through an archway after he spoke to Spock and McCoy, and they were all too far away before to hear him. (00:10:50 - 00:26:00)
Plot hole: Spock's phaser doesn't work because they are in a time when phasers didn't exist, but McCoy's tricorder does.
hifijohn
Plot hole: The law officer who arrests Kirk recalls hearing Kirk call the "spirit" Bones. But he wasn't there when Kirk spoke to McCoy. He rushed into the scene several minutes later. If he's lying, how would he know that Kirk used the name Bones? He wasn't there to hear it. Even if he had been, Kirk did not refer to McCoy as Bones in that conversation. (00:10:50 - 00:19:50)
Visible crew/equipment: The shadow of a boom mic is seen against the rock walls of the cave follows Spock and McCoy when Spock pulls McCoy off Zarabeth.
Other mistake: As Kirk nears the portal, the edge shimmers just before he gets to it. As he goes through it, his actions are greatly slowed rather than natural.
Movie Nut
Continuity mistake: After Kirk knocks the jailer out, there's a bit of stew on the cell's door above the lock. After Kirk drags the man into the cell and closes the door, the bar above the lock is clean and dry.
Other mistake: The time that Kirk winds up in doesn't look anything like the what he was viewing on the disk.
Suggested correction: The entire planet isn't going to look exactly like what he saw on the disk. The disk will show random scenes to give the viewer an idea, but we can't expect the whole planet to match that image.

Amanda: And you, Sarek, would you also say thank you to your son?
Sarek: I don't understand.
Amanda: Well, for saving your life.
Sarek: Spock acted in the only logical manner open to him. One does not thank logic, Amanda.
Amanda: Logic, logic - I'm sick to death of logic! Do you want to know how I feel about your logic?
Spock: Emotional, isn't she?
Sarek: She has always been that way.
Spock: Indeed? Why did you marry her?
Sarek: At the time, it seemed the logical thing to do.

Question: At the beginning, Mr Sulu calls for Captain Kirk to report to the bridge, but Kirk in sick bay does not get that message. Why?
Answer: Kirk was getting his physical and Dr. McCoy probably turned off communications, because if he hadn't, Kirk would have left and headed straight for the bridge, leaving McCoy irritated.

After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War (2018), the universe is in ruins. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers assemble once more in order to undo Thanos' actions and restore order to the universe.
Avengers: Endgame is a 2019 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
It is the sequel to 2012's The Avengers, 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron and 2018's Avengers: Infinity War, and the 22nd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
The film is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely and features an ensemble cast including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Paul Rudd, Brie Larson, Karen Gillan, Danai Gurira, Bradley Cooper, and Josh Brolin. In the film, the surviving members of the Avengers and their allies work to reverse the damage caused by Thanos in Infinity War.
The film was announced in October 2014 as Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2. The Russo brothers came on board to direct in April 2015, and by May, Markus and McFeely signed on to script the film. In July 2016, Marvel removed the title, referring to it simply as Untitled Avengers film. Filming began in August 2017 at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia, shooting back-to-back with Infinity War, and ended in January 2018. Additional filming took place in the Metro and Downtown Atlanta areas and New York. The official title was revealed in December 2018.
The film premiered in Los Angeles on April 22, 2019, and is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on April 26, 2019, in IMAX and 3D.

Q: How to make the method name in the class dynamic? I want to make the method name in the class dynamic when I create a object from the class I want to execute the method name dynamically bellow is my code .
public static void ExecuteTest() throws Exception
{
    for (int i = 1,  j = 1;  i < 2;  i = i+1, j = j+1)  {
            FW_ReadExcelFile N = new FW_ReadExcelFile();
            FW_ReadExcelFile.setExcelSheetEnvValues(i,i);
             //java.lang.String Flag2 = N.getTCExecuteFlag() ;

             String Flag = "YES";
             String Flag21 = N.getTCExecuteFlag();

            if ( Flag.equals(Flag21)  ){
                String TCName = N.getTCName();
                FW_Report u = new FW_Report();
                u.TCName; // the FW_Report  class has many methods and I want to call the method on my demand .
            }

A:
i want to execute the method name dynamically

Use Reflections in Java to achieve this.
Sample code:
        Class<?> name = Class.forName("ClassName");
        Object instance = name.newInstance();
        Method[] methods = name.getMethods();

        for (Method method : methods) {
            if (method.getName().equals(N.getTCName())) {
                // Match found. Invoke the method. call the method on my demand.
                method.invoke(instance, null);
                break;
            }
        }

OR simply try this:
       // Get the method name at runtime
        Method method = ClassName.class.getMethod(N.getTCName(), null);
        method.invoke(new ClassName(), null);

A: Use java reflection.
java.lang.reflect.Method method = u.getClass().getMethod("getReportName", param1.class, param2.class, ..);

method.invoke(obj,/*param1*/,/*param2*/,....);

getReportName is an example of the method name you want to call. Please refer to java reflection.

Simon Price - CLUBS & DJing
When it comes to nightlife, I'm probably best-known for Stay Beautiful and Spellbound (see below), but I've been DJing, promoting clubs and running events for almost as long as I've been a writer.
My earliest efforts were at University College London Union (UCLU), where I was elected Social & Servives officer (i.e. Ents Officer), putting on shows by The Boo Radleys, Cranes, House Of Love, Bleach, The Beat, Bad Manners and Imagination, and comedians such as Rob Newman and Jack Dee, and running a full programme of club nights and events, seven days a week.
I also frequently co-promoted alternative/indie club and gig nights just down the road at the University of London Union (ULU), with the yet-to-be-famous Ricky Gervais, including gigs by Radiohead, Strangelove, Shampoo, My Life Story, Drugstore and Kenickie, and DJed and co-managed the Melody Maker-sponsored Fiddling While Romo Burns tour in 1996 (starring Plastic Fantastic, Orlando, Hollywood, Dexdexter).
In the Nineties I DJed and co-promoted Arcadia, home of the short-lived but loads-of-fun Romo scene, and was one of the regular DJs at legendary Britpop era music biz/word-of-mouth party night Uncle Bob's Wedding Reception (where Sophie Ellis Bextor got discovered, fact fans).
Over the years I've been invited to DJ for AC/DC, Pet Shop Boys, Pharrell Williams, Suede, Manic Street Preachers, The Darkness, The Charlatans, Laibach, ABC, London Fashion Week, The Bizarre Ball, Swn Festival, Bingley Music Live, Guilty Pleasures, The Camden Crawl, Velvet Coalmine, Festival No.6 and the Reading Festival, where I rocked the VIP tent for three years running. (Seriously, I killed it. At one point I had Franz Ferdinand literally dancing on the tables.) The biggest audience I've ever played to was probably 12,000 people, as onstage DJ for Suede at The 02, but I've also played at venues including Pacha (London), The Astoria (RIP), Baskerville Hall (yes, it actually exists), the Manchester Ritz and the Cardiff Coal Exchange, as far north as Glasgow and as far south as Barcelona.
If you'd like to add yourself to that list by hiring my services as a DJ, then by all means contact me by emailing simon_price01@hotmail.com and letting me know what it's all about. (I consider myself a versatile DJ: styles I'm comfortable with include general trashy glam/punk/rock'n'roll, 60s soul/Motown/girl group, 70s disco/funk, 80s alternative/goth/synth, 90s indie, 21st century pop, or any combination of the above.)
I'm something of a vinyl fetishist and in an ideal world I'd still DJ with vinyl only, but for practicality and portability I tend to favour a well-stocked CD wallet these days. (I still haven't got my head round laptop DJing, and tend to grumble something about Blue Peter and "Here's one I made earlier" whenever I see iBook merchants just plugging in, pressing 'Play' and standing back.)
We won't dwell on the two separate disco nights and the one cutting-edge electro-indie night I tried to get off the ground, because bad news is box office poison. (Ssshhh, nothing to see here.) Instead, let's concentrate on the nights that DID take off...
I currently run two very successful club nights in Brighton, Stay Beautiful and Spellbound about which, here's all the info you need:
Stay Beautiful began life in January 2001 and quickly became the absolute beating heart of London's glam-punk-trash underground, playing "music to show off to" for a flamboyant, dressed-up, glitter-encrusted, eyeliner-coated, lipstick-smeared crowd who didn't have anywhere else to go. Over the first ten years, we hosted live acts including Adam Ant, Nicky Wire (Manic Street Preachers), Justin Hawkins (The Darkness), Towers Of London, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, King Adora, Scarling, Client, Pink Grease and The Pipettes, and guest DJs including Peaches, Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance), Sylvain Sylvain (New York Dolls), Dave Ball (Soft Cell/The Grid), Bob Stanley (Saint Etienne), David Ryder Prangley (Rachel Stamp), assorted members of The Darkness, Kenickie, Elastica and Eighties Matchbox, and all four members of Ladytron.
Stay Beautiful has now been successfully transplanted to Brighton, where it takes place at Sticky Mike's Frog Bar on Middle St on (usually) the first Saturday of the month, 11.00pm-3.30am, admission £5/£4.

From the moment it launched in 2009, Spellbound has been one of Brighton's busiest and best-loved club nights. Under the slogan "The 80s Night For People Who HATE 80s Nights", and conceived as an alternative antidote to the proliferation of cheesy ironic 80s nights out there, Spellbound plays the darker, edgier side of the decade: post-punk, goth, new romantic, alt-rock, new wave, gender benders, early indie, 2 Tone ska, mod, psychobilly, synthpop, blitz kids, oddballs, effeminate futurists and one-hit wonders, with a wonderfully mixed crowd of people who remember it all from first time around and young 'uns discovering it all as-new, authentic goth poison Snakebite on special offer, a smoke machine to add true 80s atmosphere, and period visuals on video and slide projection. Oh, and there's the Underpants Song, but you have to turn up to find out what that's about.
Spellbound takes place at Komedia, Gardner St on (usually) the third Saturday of the month, 9.00pm-3.00am, admission £5/£4.
