Everybody deserves independence and to feel comfortable in their own home. A physical disability should not deny you independence. If bathing is difficult for you in your standard bathtub, you should consider either a walk in bathtub or a no lip shower.
Walk in bathtubs are easy to enter and exit. They offer their user an upright seated position unique to their design for easy use. They also offer handrails and handles for further ease of use and movement in the tub. Removable shower wands and massaging jets are also available to add ease and comfort to your bathing experience.
If you prefer a shower, or are wheelchair bound, a no lip shower might be the best option for you. No lip showers are wheelchair accessible, and offer a shower seat for those who cannot stand for long periods of time in the shower. They also have handrails for added stability in the shower and fit in most standard bathrooms.
Your home is your sanctuary and you deserve to feel comfortable within it. Take back bath time with a walk in bathtub or no lip shower today.

Q: Render an ActiveReccord:relationship with specific cat value My title is not really clear, I don't know how to formulate it, if you have suggestions, I can edit it.
I would like to render all the missions form my user_facturation. But I don't know how to do it with current db structure.
My relations :
mission has_many :mission_facturations
mission_facturation belongs_to :mission

Mission_facturation can be linked with many element facturation (user, partner, etc ...). So to save this relation I'm saving a fact_cat and a fact_id column. (A little bit has polymorphic relations)
Example, if I want to link my mission_facturation with the first user_facturation, I reccord :
mission_facturation.update(fact_cat: 8, fact_id: UserFacturation.first.id)

Now, I would like to access to all the missions directly from my user_facturation model. Initially, I was using that method into the model user_facturation.rb
def missions
  MissionFacturation.where(fact_cat: 8, fact_id: self.id).where.not(mission_id: nil).map(&:mission)
end

But this is not rendering an ActiveReccord::Relation, so when I use it for a loop, it's not working well
Do you have any solutions to render a collection of missions into my user_facturation model ?

A: Start the query with the Mission model, something like this:
Mission.joins(:mission_facturations).where(mission_facturations: {fact_cat: 8, fact_id: self.id)

Or you can even set a relationship on the User class so AR handles the joins for you:
has_many :mission_facturations, -> { where(fact_cat: 8) }, :foreign_key => "fact_id"
has_many :missions, through: :mission_facturations

Every private press needs a press mark or device. It works a bit like a trademark (I'd rather not call it a logo) which is usually printed on the title page of any book produced by a private press.
Sorting out a press mark for Semple Press has been really difficult for some reason, but I think I'm making progress on this now. I was very inspired by the Letterpress: Something to Say conference in November 2012 at the St Bride Library, and since then my thoughts on what I want to do at Semple Press have become a bit more coherent. Having 'something to say' is part of the story, but Semple Press is also becoming part of my graphic design practice – a way to explore graphic design history and experiment away from the screen. It's also a place where I can find my own voice away from paid work.
Using speech marks, or commas, or other pieces of actual type in the press mark seems to fit with this ethos, so last weekend I started messing with the punctuation.
I'll come clean here -- with the wooden type used above I only had two commas and two speechmarks and so after arranging them in pairs I printed a few copies then scanned and assembled these designs in photoshop. Is this allowed in letterpress circles? Don't care really; I was experimenting, not practicing my registration skills. The top two designs were made using commas, the rest with speechmarks. These worked so much better than I expected and I had forgotten that the negative space in the arrangements would have as much impact as the punctuation itself. What you can't see in the prints is the rest of the actual pieces of type, which is what dictates what you can and can't do to make this sort of pattern. This is why you end up with a completely different pattern with commas than you do with speechmarks. This is obvious now, less so when I started working on this!
These marks were all made on the press bed. The tea cup is made up of wood type, as are the triangular commas next to it. The rest are made with commas from a metal typeface, Franklin Gothic 72pt. It gives a very different effect to the softer woodtype.
There's definitely a press mark in here somewhere - or at least I'm on the right lines - but I need to live with them for a few days first.

Brock Chisholm
George Brock Chisholm, CC, CBE, psychiatrist, medical administrator, soldier (born 18 May 1896 in Oakville, ON; died 4 February 1971 in Victoria, BC). After earning honours for courageous service in the First World War, Brock Chisholm became an influential psychiatrist. He introduced mental health as a component of the recruitment and management of the Canadian Army	during the Second World War. He directed the army's medical services, served in the federal government	as deputy minister of health, and became the founding director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO). His vocal attacks on methods of indoctrinating children with societal myths made him a controversial public figure. He was an often provocative advocate of world peace and mental health.

A group of law enforcement officials blasted a measure on the November ballot billed as an effort to keep "non-violent" convicts out of prison, saying the proposition will put dangerous people back on the streets.
"Do we really need more parolees and hard-core criminals on the streets? That's what Proposition 57 does," said Brian Moriguchi, president of the Professional Peace Officers Association of Los Angeles at a press conference in Downtown Los Angeles last Friday.
The proposition, backed heavily by Gov. Jerry Brown, would allow parole consideration for people convicted of "non-violent" felonies after serving the minimum amount of time required as part of their sentence and authorize the awarding of sentence credits for rehabilitation, good behavior and education.
It would also give judges the final say over whether juvenile offenders at least 14 years old should be prosecuted as adults.
rehabilitated and do not present a danger to the public before they are released.
But Moriguchi and other officials — including Sheriff Jim McDonnell, District Attorney Jackie Lacey and county Supervisor Mike Antonovich — said the measure is essentially an effort by the state to relieve its prison-overcrowding problem at the expense of community safety.
Moriguchi said the recent killings of Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Steve Owen and Palm Springs police Officers Lesley Zerebny and Jose Gilbert Vega were carried out by parolees.
Antonovich said Proposition 57 will follow the path of legislation known as AB 109, which redirected some low-level offenders to county jails instead of state prisons, often leading to them serving less time than they otherwise would. He said that legislation was also expected to apply to only "non-violent" offenders.
"What happened? Seventy percent are either high-risk or very high-risk," Antonovich said.
Supporters of the measure deny allegations that the measure would result in felons being automatically released from prison or authorize parole for violent offenders.
With over 69 million millennials eligible to vote in November, candidates for political office across the country are spending a lot of time and money courting people between the ages of 18 and 37, hoping to get their votes.
But while their numbers are large, as a group millennials tend to be less civically engaged and historically vote in lower numbers than older voters.
On Monday, three of California's members of Congress met with students at Rio Hondo College for an open discussion on the issues that matter most to young Americans, and to remind them voting is the best way to be heard.
"You have a voice," Rep. Grace Napolitano (CA-32) told the crowd. "We are supposed to represent you," she said, encouraging them to get involved.
The meeting was one of over 20 #FutureForum town hall-style meetings being held across the country to get a pulse on the challenges millennials face.
On Monday, students said they are concerned about climate change, mental health, police brutality, campaign contribution limits and student debt.
According to #FutureForum Chair, Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-15) – student debt is the biggest issue millennials say they are facing.
U.S. Reps. Eric Swalwell, Grace Napolitano and Norma Torres discuss 'millennial issues' with students at Rio Hondo College Monday.
At 35, Swalwell is the youngest member of California's congressional delegation and a millennial himself. With $100,000 in student debt, he says he knows first hand how the financial burden is causing millennials like him to delay three major life decisions and rights of passage: starting a family, buying a home and starting a business.
Student debt has led millennials to "put their lives on hold to pay their loans," echoes Rep. Norma Torres (CA-35).
While she was able to buy her first house at the age of 22, she confided that her 30-year-old son is struggling to pay his student loans and not likely to buy a home for some years to come.
When asked who can imagine owning a home in the next 10 years, only a handful of the Rio Hondo students raised their hands.
On average, college graduates across the county have about $30,000 in student debt. According to The Institute for College Access and Success, the total amount of student debt nationally is $1.2 trillion.
Write to your representatives in Washington, D.C. and tell them to pass legislation to bring relief to the student debt crisis, Torres encouraged students.
The state of the economy is one of the prime reasons so many students are struggling to pay back their loans, Torres told EGP. Many students are getting degrees that are not competitive in today's economy, she said.
Students "are graduating from wonderful colleges with really high tuition, but it doesn't translate to great jobs so young people are feeling like it's money wasted," she explained.
But the student debt crisis is not just a problem for millennials, says Swalwell. Whether it's because their children are moving back home or because they have personally taken out or co-signed for college loans, "parents are carrying the burden too," he pointed out.
Jesse Carmon, 57, of Hacienda Heights, wanted to know what type of relief young adults like his son could expect in the future.
The hope is that in the near future students will have access to free in-state tuition and the option to refinance their loans, responded the speakers.
Hearing complaints from students about the outsized influence of lobbyists and large donors to political campaigns, the representatives encouraged students to turn their concerns into votes.
"Money talks, but there's nothing like a vote," emphasized Napolitano.
Millennials need to be informed, educated and get involved, added the forum's moderator, Rio Hondo College Student Trustee Brandon Pablo Leon.
A show of hands revealed that only one woman in the room had ever written to a member of Congress.
"It's not just voting, it's about being politically active," Leon said.
Millennials are key to the success of not only the state but also the entire country, Torres reminded the students.

Elizabeth Warren decries big money in politics. Her campaign treasurer embodies it.

'Personal PAC man' Paul Egerman has deep ties to liberal megadonors

Federal Politics Reporter
This article is published in partnership with Public Radio International.
FAIRFAX, Va. — With a sizable American flag as her backdrop and supporters toting signs reading "The Best President Money Can't Buy," Elizabeth Warren decried the role big bucks play in politics.
"Corruption, the influence of money, touches every decision that gets made in Washington," the Democratic presidential candidate and U.S. senator from Massachusetts told hundreds of people attending her May 16 campaign event at George Mason University in Virginia. "Whatever issue brought you here today, I guarantee if there's a decision to be made in Washington, it's been touched, pushed, massaged, tilted over, just a little, so the folks with money do better than everyone else."
Warren's declaration aligns with her aggressive rejection of traditional sources of campaign cash, from political action committees to lobbyists. Everyone will have access to her, she says, not just wealthy donors. She's instituted "selfie lines" at rallies. She releases videos of herself personally calling donors who've contributed just a few dollars.

But Warren has also selected for her presidential campaign treasurer a man whose contributions run counter to Warren's statements — among the most emphatic among the more than 20 Democrats running for president — against big money in politics.
Dubbed a "personal PAC man" to politicians by The Boston Globe more than a decade ago, retired software engineer Paul Egerman, 70, has quietly established himself as a key benefactor and rainmaker for Democratic political committees and liberal causes.
Since 1995, Egerman and his wife, Joanne, have given more than $8.4 million to various Democratic candidates and PACs, according to a Center for Public Integrity analysis of Center for Responsive Politics data.
Of that, Egerman has contributed $1.7 million to the pro-Democratic super PAC American Bridge 21st Century, which is also affiliated with a "dark money" group — raising political cash that can't be traced to its original source. In 2012, he gave $56,000 to Rethink PAC, a super PAC that helped Warren in her successful campaign to unseat U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass.
During the 2017-2018 election cycle, he contributed substantial sums to major super PACs, giving a combined $920,000 to super PACs Planned Parenthood Votes and Senate Majority PAC, according to Federal Election Commission records.
Egerman also serves as a conduit between Democrats and big-dollar political donors.
For example, he's the board treasurer for Democracy Alliance, a network of wealthy Democratic donors that helps support liberal causes and has counted liberal megadonors such as George Soros, Donald Sussman and Tom Steyer among its members. He's also been an advisory council member to J Street, a political nonprofit and PAC that seeks to promote American leadership in creating a two-state resolution between Palestine and Israel.
Egerman in 2014 also hosted an ultra-exclusive Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee fundraiser at his Massachusetts home. President Barack Obama attended. The entry price per person: $32,400, according to The Boston Globe.
Warren's campaign declined to comment on Egerman and directed questions to Egerman himself.
Egerman declined to answer specific questions from the Center for Public Integrity but said in an emailed statement: "Elizabeth doesn't do high-dollar fundraisers or call time, but I encourage anyone who supports her to help in any way they can."
A CHANCE MEETING
Paul Egerman (Credit:
Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology)
Egerman is very much a self-made millionaire. The grandson of Russian immigrants, he was raised in San Jose, California, by his mother, where his school year centered around the farming and canning season of prunes, he told The Boston Globe.
The father of two made his riches through successful business ventures. His first company, a healthcare software technology company named IDX, went public in the 1990s. He sold his speech recognition software for physicians, eScription, in 2008 for a deal reported to be worth $400 million.
Egerman's history with Warren began about a decade ago, when he met her on an airplane. He'd later become campaign finance chairman for Warren's 2012 U.S. Senate campaign.
Egerman also was a regional fundraising committee member for Obama prior to Obama's election in 2008.
In 2012, Egerman told The Boston Globe that he believes wealthy Americans have a responsibility to improve the lives of those less fortunate.
"It's incumbent upon people like me, who've been successful, to pay it forward so the next kid has the same opportunity I had," said Egerman, who's worked with the Patriotic Millionaires, a group of high-net worth individuals "united in their concern about the destabilizing concentration of wealth and power in America."
The most essential role of a political campaign committee treasurer — the role Egerman plays for Warren — is to ensure the committee complies with the law.
Campaign treasurers' core duties include signing and filing all committee reports and statements and authorizing expenditures, or assigning someone to authorize expenditures and monitor campaign contributions, according to the Federal Election Commission.
But it can be more than a paper pushing gig. A lot more. For example, Obama named Martin Nesbitt, a wealthy businessman and close personal friend, his initial presidential campaign treasurer. Nesbitt also served as one of Obama's campaign "bundlers" — top fundraisers who collect money from friends and associates and deliver the cash to a political campaign in a "bundle."
Several political strategists and campaign finance advocates said having a known donor serve as a candidate's treasurer is a stamp of approval for a campaign's legitimacy — and a signal for potential donors to pay attention.
Furthermore, treasurers are free to fundraise for candidates, said Myles Martin, a Federal Election Commission spokesman.
IS WARREN HAVING IT BOTH WAYS?
Of the roughly $6 million Warren's presidential campaign raised during the year's first three months, more than two-thirds came from people giving $200 or less, according to FEC records. (This doesn't include $10.41 million Warren transferred from her U.S. Senate campaign account to her presidential campaign account.)
In his email, Egerman did not address a question about whether he planned to do any fundraising for Warren or tap into his network of wealthy friends and associates.
So, is Warren's work with Egerman hypocritical?
Mum's the word: Some Democratic presidential hopefuls won't discuss their big-dollar 'bundlers'
What first quarter fundraising can tell us about 2020
Donald Trump created a permanent presidential campaign. Here's how.
Bradley Smith, a former FEC chairman and now chairman of the Institute for Free Speech, a nonprofit that advocates against campaign finance limits, isn't convinced.
"I doubt that many of her followers think 'I can't back her now,'" he said. "It shows that they haven't thought this [her stances on money in politics] through."
Corey Goldstone of the Campaign Legal Center, which advocates for stricter campaign finance limits, praised Warren for her commitment to decreasing the influence of money in politics.
But he added that it's reasonable to question how much influence a longtime donor such as Egerman will have over the direction of a campaign and noted that Warren has not yet agreed to release the identities of her presidential campaign's bundlers — something candidates aren't generally compelled by law to do.
Some do volunteer the information: South Bend, Indiana, mayor and Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg recently released a list of bundlers to the Center for Public Integrity. Several other presidential contenders, including Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, as well as Rep. Eric Swalwell of California, said they'd publicly disclose bundler details.
Some attendees at Warren's campaign event last week said they want to support a presidential candidate who isn't easily influenced by big money and caters to grassroots supporters.
Theo Meale, a rising junior at George Mason University, attended Warren's event to hear what she had to say and because she's one of the few presidential candidates who's so far come to the area. Meale, who said he believes that the Supreme Court's 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission should be overturned, said Warren's stand against big money is courageous.
Warren's closeness to Egerman, or potentially to other big donors, is not a dealbreaker for him. But "the further you distance yourself, the better," Meale added.
The Center for Public Integrity is an independent, investigative newsroom that exposes betrayals of the public trust by powerful interests.

'Below Average' Ngannou Will Get Exposed In Boxing
Francis Ngannou paid more than $7 million to buy his freedom.
Now "The Predator" is a free agent with the right to compete wherever he chooses after winning his unconditional release from UFC. There was talk of a potential boxing match against heavyweight kingpin Tyson Fury; however, "The Gypsy King" may no longer be interested if Ngannou doesn't have the UFC marketing machine behind him.
"The UFC champion going and doing something with Tyson Fury had Tyson Fury's attention, just like Conor [McGregor] had Floyd [Mayweather's]," former title challenger Chael Sonnen told his YouTube subscribers. "The two-time simultaneous champion of the UFC, with Dana White on stage, had value. The only question for Tyson Fury is, 'do I still want to box and if I do, is it going to be against [Jon] Jones or Ciryl [Gane]?'"
Ngannou, 36, is known for his devastating knockout power and racked up 16 finishes in 17 wins inside the cage. But the weapons that made "The Predator" so unique in mixed martial arts (MMA) may not translate well to boxing when compared to brick-fisted titans like Deontay Wilder, who not only have the power but also have the technique.
"As analysts, there's not a world where Francis Ngannou beats Tyson Fury," UFC light heavyweight contender Anthony Smith said on Michael Bisping's "Believe You Me" podcast (transcribed by Middle Easy). "Francis Ngannou is just a regular dude as a heavyweight boxer. He's uncommon in MMA. He's unique. He's very special, but in professional boxing, he's average at best. At best, he's an average puncher. He's a below average boxer. He's below average in his footwork and movement. He's below average in his defense. He's not gonna fare that well as a heavyweight professional boxer. He's gonna get one big boxing fight and then the 'new' is going to wear off. We're gonna see how good he actually is and be like, 'Oh f*ck. He's not that good.'"
Fortunately for Ngannou, MMA promotions like PFL and Bellator MMA are likely to pay him handsomely while also affording him the opportunity to compete in the "sweet science" at his leisure, similar to the recent offer made to former UFC welterweight Nate Diaz. Just don't expect the Jake Pauls or the KSIs of the world to be signing on the dotted line.

With so much noise online, your audience isn't going to pay attention to you unless they feel a connection with your brand.
Jocelyn Webster, vice president at WE Communications, says sharing your brand's story will encourage your audience to engage with you.
In this interview, Jocelyn discusses how to move your audience to action, what she learned from working in a governor's office and why brands need to always look at the big picture.
What are you most excited about in your new role as vice president at WE Communications?
The work. I am passionate about helping leaders and organizations find and tell their best stories. Whether you are communicating to customers, employees or policymakers, your best advocate and your best defense is your story. People want to interact with and feel a connection to the products they use and the companies for which they work.
You've worked for government officials, nonprofits and other brands. What are some of the differences in how you develop a communication strategy for various types of organizations?
Actually, it is more similar than one might think. Whether for governments, nonprofits or large brands, I tell big stories about bold ideas to move people to action.
What those bold ideas are might be different. The action you want to encourage is very different. You may want someone to vote a certain way or you may want to develop a sustained relationship with your product.
Ultimately, the tools in the toolbox are still the same. What moves people is still the same: authenticity, connection, disruption, change, engagement, value. These elements are pretty universal.
What was it like to work in the office of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker? What did you learn from that experience?
Working in Governor Walker's office was one of the hardest and best things I've ever done. The pace in a governor's office is unrelenting, and for the communicator, it is a life of continual crisis management.
Governor Walker is a skilled strategist and communicator, so you have to stay on your toes to stay ahead of him. Working with him made me sharper, and working in his office made me a better manager.
It was crucial for me to create the space in a fast-paced environment for my team to learn, grow, and succeed collectively and as individuals. A space where we could tune out the noise to focus on the work, have fun with each other and appreciate how special and rare opportunities like that are.
My time in the Governor's office also highlighted the importance of listening while planning and before acting. People want to be heard and understood. Working together means bringing everyone to the table, listening well and collaborating on a solution with clear and consistent communication throughout that process. Then you take people along for the ride. And it makes the ride so much better.
Watching people who are on my teams flourish as strategic communicators and thoughtful individuals. Winning the Governor's recall election was a pretty good moment, too.
What do you see as the biggest communication challenge facing organizations today? How can they overcome it?
Unnecessary complexity and unforced errors from playing the short game. Our collective attention span is so short. It's important to remember to take a breath and take a step back to focus on priorities—to make sure you are seeing the whole field.
What role does social media play in your job?
Social media is how people consume news and connect to their family, friends and the world. And a huge part of my job is meeting people where they are. Everything is so fluid now between social media and other communication mediums that it's not so much what role does it play, but what role doesn't it play.
Just start. Communication is a trade. If you're a good writer and a strategic thinker, you can learn the functional skills of communication. Be willing to grind and be bold. The best communicators are perpetual students by nature, so you have to be willing to do the hard work of continual growth and development.

GW Instek is launching to the market a new series of safety tester (hi-pot tester/hipot tester) with high durability and multiple user-protection design. The GPT-9800 Series look to meet a variety of safety standards such as IEC, EN, UL, CSA, GB, JIS and other safety-related requirements for the safety tests of electronic products and components.
Targeting user's protections, the GPT-9800 series uses a combination of hardware and software controls to improve safety: A self-check is performed to make sure all the functions and operations are under normal condition each time when the tester is turned on; the Zero Crossing Turn-On design imposes the output voltage to always begin at the zero crossing of a sine wave to avoid the impact of surge voltage output; and the output voltage is automatically cut off (within 150μs) when abnormal output voltages have been detected or when the upper or lower current limits have been reached during testing. To protect operator from hazardous injury, the GPT-9800 Series automatically discharges the DUT after test (within 200ms) each time to eliminate excessive voltage that remains on the DUT. To further ensure safety, the interlock connector can also be used as double protections to prevent inadvertent operation.
The GPT-9800 Series, equipped with a simple & clear panel layout, a high resolution dot matrix LCD display, and color LED indicators, allows operators to interpret measurement results easily and quickly. All major test functions, including AC withstanding (AC 5kV/40mA), DC withstanding (DC 6kV/10mA), insulation resistance (DC 50V ~ 1000V) and ground bond (AC 30A max.) tests, are performed under a high-stability voltage output with high-resolution measurement results. Further more, the test duration, ramp up time and upper/lower limits of the output voltage are fully-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of safety tests with accurate measurement results.
Other functions and features of the GPT-9800 include: open circuit detection for ground bond testing to get correct measurement result with confidence; 100 sets of memory to save panel settings, which can be recalled for single test individually or for automatic tests in sequence; a remote output on-off terminal in the front panel and a signal I/O port in the rear panel provided as the means for remote start/stop control of the safety tester; RS-232C, USB and GPIB (optional) interfaces available for PC remote control and test result logging.

Q: Pandas insert empty column between existing columns I'm trying to make a csv converter with Pandas. Currently it reads a file (export.csv) and writes a new file (google.csv). I've selected the columns from the export.csv file but for the new file I want to insert a few new columns.
I'd like to insert one at the beginning of the dataframe called Date and have the same value entered (11-23-20) for each row, I'd like to add another one between ProductUrl and RetailPrice called Shippinged with no values.
Here's my code:
import pandas as pd

ed = pd.read_csv('export.csv')
df = ed[['ItemID', 'ProductUrl', 'RetailPrice', 'ItemName', 'ItemName', 'ItemPrimaryImageUrl', 'CategoryList', 'Manufacturer', 'GTIN', 'ProductStatus','CategoryList', 'ItemNumber']]
df.columns =['id', 'link', 'price', 'title', 'description','image_link', 'product_type','brand', 'gtin', 'availability', 'google_product_category','mpn']
df.to_csv('google.csv')

A: To insert a column at the specific location, you can use:
df.insert(loc, column, value)

Let's assume, your dataset is as follows:

   ItemID ProductUrl  RetailPrice ItemName

2       3       cUrl          3.0    cItem

You can add a column to the beginning by using:
df.insert(0, 'Date', pd.Timestamp.now().strftime('%m-%d-%y'))

This will give you:
>>> df.insert(0, 'Date', pd.Timestamp.now().strftime('%m-%d-%y'))
>>> df
       Date  ItemID ProductUrl  RetailPrice ItemName
0  11-23-20       1       aUrl          1.0    aItem
1  11-23-20       2       bUrl          2.0    bItem
2  11-23-20       3       cUrl          3.0    cItem

Then you can add the column to the specific location with a similar insert statement.
You have two options: You can search for the column name where you want to insert, then insert. OR, you can insert to a specific location if you already know the location.
In your case, you want to insert the column between 'ProductUrl' and  'RetailPrice'. The original location for 'RetailPrice' was 3. We added a column to the beginning. So the current location for 'RetailPrice' is 4. So you can insert the new column at position 4. Remember, columns starts from 0. So you need to insert at location 3 (0 = Date, 1 = ItemID, 2 = ProductUrl, 3 = newColumn, 4 = RetailPrice).
>>> df.insert(3, 'Shippinged', '')
>>> df
       Date  ItemID ProductUrl Shippinged  RetailPrice ItemName
0  11-23-20       1       aUrl                     1.0    aItem

2  11-23-20       3       cUrl                     3.0    cItem

Alternatively, you can use columns.get_loc() to get the index of any column.
Since you want to insert the column in between 'ProductUrl' and 'RetailPrice', you can choose to search for the position of 'RetailPrice' and insert at that location.
>>> idx = df.columns.get_loc('RetailPrice')
>>> df.insert(idx, 'Shippinged', '')
>>> df
       Date  ItemID ProductUrl Shippinged  RetailPrice ItemName
0  11-23-20       1       aUrl                     1.0    aItem
1  11-23-20       2       bUrl                     2.0    bItem
2  11-23-20       3       cUrl                     3.0    cItem

This will give you the new dataframe to write to 'google.csv'

A: Use pd.DataFrame.insert:
df.insert(0, 'Date', pd.Timestamp.now().strftime('%m-%d-%y'))

idx = df.columns.get_loc('ProductUrl')
df.insert(idx+1, 'Shippinged', '')

Just sorting through my proud pictures of my work and found this one a new TV aerial Loughton Essex www.andysaerials.com how I could have not published it, as it is one of only a few pictures in sunlight! I received a call asking for a new TV aerial installation, and went there for a quote. I instantly realised with the height of the land the digital signal would be screaming in and wanted to use one of my favourite log-periodic w/b aerials. The roof was lovely to walk up and the chimney stack was a lovely little stack easy to get to and easy to lash. The stack itself was in need of attention so I lashed my heavy duty 13" 5 brick course chimney cradle at the bottom giving my aerial plenty of support and not aggravating the loose top course of bricks of the chimney stack.
We were absolutely delighted when our customer phoned us and was happy to go ahead with our quote for their flat screen TV wall mounting by www.andysaerials.com we had given a quote the previous Saturday and was happy to receive the call form our customer. The internal wall was solid brick so we had no issues with hanging the beautiful Panasonic smart TV. We needed to run an aerial point to the wall where the TV was to be hung, so after metering the aerial signal we fitted a combined inductive splitter with a set loss of -4db and ran a new aerial cable from the loft through the facia board and down a drain pipe, so it could not be seen.
Monday morning and were off to Loughton for a new TV aerial install. We had already been and completed a site survey and quote a couple of weeks ago, and I had put up a TV aerial for my customer's neighbour about 10years earlier, and when we arrive to quote I remembered signal was a problem. My customer had a Unix 52 on a 16ft 2" mast and very few elements remaining, I explained although most of the surrounding houses had aerials on 16ft and 20ft masts, I was not a lover of enormous masts and would go no higher than 12ft. When my customer called me to go ahead with the work I ordered an Antiference XG10 w/b aerial as I believed the XG10 would be my best choice given the signal difficulties with the area.
Saturday 2nd call to Ingatestone for a new aerial, when we arrived there was an A group Yargi on a 6" chimney bracket which was wearing away the brickwork of the chimney stack. The roof was a long, long one with biscuit tiles, my roof climber was not long enough for this roof but with a little over leaning I got the ladder hooked on the ridge of the roof. The views were lovely only it was still over cast and no sign of sunshine. I collected from my van a large chimney cradle and lashing kit and set off up the roof to the ridge, walking along the ridge I got to the lovely little chimney stack, where I sat and made myself comfortable while I attached the lashing kit to the chimney cradle. With the chimney now lashed I put a Facarro log-periodic w/b aerial on an 8ft 1" ½ alloy mast and neatly taped the coax cable down the pole. I fitted the aerial and mast to the large chimney cradle and plugged the aerial into my spectrum analyser; I was disappointed to see 2 of the digital mux's weaker than the other 4. The weak mux's were 38db and the other 4 were 44db and I needed 2 TV points from the signal so I had to use a 2way masthead pre-amp. I decided to run the coax cable from the aerial into the loft and fit the masthead inside.
Saturday 1st call and its re-site a satellite dish as a neighbour's new building extension has blocked the line of sight of the satellite dish. We arrived at 9:30 just in time to catch the rain, after putting on our waterproofs we asked if we could use the scaffolding around the neighbour's house, as the neighbour was out it was fine. With the scaffolding side rails I was able to stand them and able to reach the chimney stack to fit a chimney cradle and lash it comfortably. Wanting to keep the installation neat I cut a small piece of 1" ½ alloy mast the same size as the chimney cradle for the satellite dish to secure to. The dish arm was facing the correct side so I did not have to un-bolt it and rotate it 180degrees, which was a bonus. After lashing the stack and fitting the chimney cradle I put the pole mounting brackets on the satellite dish, so I could just drop it on to the 1" ½ alloy mast. The beauty of mounting the satellite dish arm to mast between the bracket is, the bottom of chimney bracket supports the satellite dish giving good strong lasting support.
Friday 2nd call and I'm off to Hornchurch for a satellite install. When I arrived there was a huge problem in the name of a tree, right in front of the house. My customer had his dish moved twice already and was tired of losing channels and pixelating pictures. I suggested a new dish on their chimney stack, giving a good line of sight and lovely pictures. The roof was a little tricky and decided to use my roof climber, once on the roof I could clearly see a position for the satellite on the chimney stack which would miss the problem tree.
Thursday last call a new aerial Bishop Stortford Essex, my customer's aerial was a Yagi A group fitted on a ¾ steel mast and had snapped in half. Judging by the surrounding aerials the signal was in abundance as there were plenty of 10 elements around. The roof was an absolute dream with nice grass front for my ladders, and a large porch roof to prevent my ladders being blown to the right. With the wind as strong as it was I decided to play it safe and tie my ladders to the guttering just to be on the safe side? The roof was perfect to walk up, nice strong, grippy tiles with a lovely pitch to walk up.
Friday 3rd May last call nice and local an annoying aerial installation? When I arrived I was absolutely horrified to see the customer's aerial clinging to their chimney stack by a plastic band, which was wonky and through the cement course of the bricks. The excess of the plastic band was not cut off and left to rattle and rustle in the wind, annoying my customer and their neighbours. My customer complained of poor pictures and was tired from being kept up at night, with the noise from the aerial installation; the aerial was on a 6ft ¾ steel mast and was not sufficient for a bungalow in Writtle which struggled for signal. The aerial cable was thrown down the roof and even went across the customer's window. To add insult to injury the aerial cable was put through the double glazing! Who drills through windows? My customer produced their receipt for the installation and the engineer had written on it… ARIEAL UPGRADE! I went up the roof and cut off the excess plastic strap and resolved the noise issue immediately. I told my customers there was no charge and gave them a discounted price for a new aerial installation with a guarantee. I live locally and gave them what I believed to be the best option, and started packing away as I thought they would want some time to decide what to do. My customers wanted to have the work carried out so I took my ladders off my van and made a start. Once I had cut the aerial down I spotted the aerial coax cable where it fixed to the aerial dipole had been left unsealed as the engineer had forgot to put the plastic waterproof shield on.
I did not want to use either a 12ft 2" or 10ft 1" ½ mast unless I had to so I put a Facarro Log-periodic w/b aerial on an 8ft 1" ½ alloy mast, and took some signal readings with my spectrum analyser to see if I could work with the signal on an 8ft mast. The bottom digital mux's were good, square and of a reasonable strength. However the top 3 were weak and was awkward losing dB's as I rotated the aerial trying to get the 3 digital mux's straighter. With a workable signal I secured the aerial mast to the large 13" chimney cradle and cut the aerial cable just over a meter down mast ready to receive a masthead pre-amp to amplify the signal.
After some thought and a smoke I decided to use a Televe's 5351 masthead pre-amp/diplexer which is a fantastic bit of kit, with a 29db gain and the ability to attenuate / reduce the amplification by 15db with a noise figure of 2.5db it was perfect for my customers. I connected the aerial to the masthead and then connected the masthead to my spectrum analyser, using the spectrum to power the masthead with 12v I was able to reduce the amplification and reducing the noise levels to a minimum and keeping the amplification enough to bring in the top 3 digital mux's in for a working level for my customer's TV.
With the new aerial now balanced and a good working signal I removed the cable from the output side of the masthead connected to my spectrum and connected a new cable from the cable reel. I neatly ran the cable down the roof, cutting up the left over from the lashing kit to put under the roof tiles, pinning my aerial cable to the roof preventing it from moving. Funny enough I decided not to use the window to enter the aerial cable into the house, I drilled a new hole in the brickwork by my customer's TV. I put a rain loop in the aerial cable and sealed the 10mm hole with silicon sealer. Once in the house I fitted a 12v 100m/a remote power supply unit and then made up a new fly-lead from the PU to the TV. I re-tuned my customer's TV and checked the pictures on most of the channels. My customer was instantly delighted as the pictures were not pixelating and was watchable! I only noticed at the end the engineer responsible for the disaster installation had wrote on my customer's receipt signal from Crystal Palace and not Anglia lol!
What a fantastic day summer is here at last. 2nd job and it's a new aerial & extra point Harlow Essex, when I arrived my customer was waiting for the Virgin engineer to arrive as his box had died and had no telly. He decided to have an aerial as a back-up for when Virgin next breaks down, and liked the idea of 120 free channels through a new digital TV aerial. He wanted a point running to his bedroom and sitting room. We agreed a price and I went to my van for my ladders and set myself up at the rear of the house.


The patriot win doesn't even feel legitimate due to the terrible "first to score" overtime rule. I just don't understand how they haven't changed to the much superior college rule.

You have to find a way for each team to have the ball at least once. I hate it when a game is decided by a coin toss.

The part that is archaic, and just plain dumb and unfair, is where the first TD can win it. That didn't change. They are missing out on so much more interesting drama but not adopting the college system.
The NFL has done everything to make the overtime rules totally unnecessary and stupid. The overtime rule should be one sentence: " Each team will receive a minimum of one ( 1 ) offensive possession all existing rules remain in place." A possession defined as one touch with full possession control. For example in the NE/Chiefs game: Pats score TD in OT and elect to kick extra point for 7 pt. lead ( they have option for 2); Chiefs must receive one possession; they also score a TD and now face decision to tie with 1 or go for 2 and win ( drama, entertainment, excitement/ no excuses if they later lose). Chiefs choose to tie. At this time: next score wins as each team has had an equal possession chance. You can run any other scenarios off this and it works. Both kick field goals: next score wins. Bottom line is that each team is afforded at least one offensive chance and each team afforded at least one defensive stop opportunity which levels the playing field; highest score or next score wins.
Follow my formula and the blow call is slightly diminished.


David Cameron has slapped down his errant business secretary Vince Cable after he reopened the Cabinet rift over immigration.
The dressing down came after Mr Cable, a senior Liberal Democrat, described his own government's policy of a cap on the numbers allowed to move to Britain as 'very damaging' to the economy.
Yesterday the Prime Minister's spokesman openly contradicted him, saying there was no chance of the policy being ditched, and 'no evidence' that it was harming Britain's economy.
The cap on immigration numbers, which came into force in July, was a key plank of the coalition agreement between the two parties.
Senior Conservatives are angry at Mr Cable's intervention, which appears to breach the doctrine of collective responsibility.
Tensions rose further after the Confederation of British Industry later spoke up in support of Mr Cable. John Cridland, deputy director-general of the CBI, said the cap on immigration 'is causing serious problems for many firms'.
There will be a suspicion that Mr Cable put the CBI up to backing his case so publicly.
Dismissing Mr Cable's comments, the Prime Minister's spokesman said yesterday: 'He is raising the concerns of business and we are aware of those concerns and we are keen to implement this policy in a way that allows the brightest and best to come and work in the UK.
Mr Cable, in an interview with the Financial Times yesterday, had said he had examples of companies which have reduced investment or relocated their operations overseas because the cap prevents them accessing key staff.
His comments are sure to fuel the rebellious mood at the Lib Dem conference, which begins in Liverpool today.
The Lib Dem leadership is facing challenges on a series of issues where difficult compromises were struck with the Tories, including education and Trident.
Labour has drawn level with the Tories for the first time in nearly three years as support for the coalition wanes.
The Reuters/Ipsos MORI opinion poll found support for the Conservatives at 37 per cent, down three points from the last survey in July, putting them level with Labour for the first time since January 2008.
The Lib Dems were on 15 per cent, down from 23 per cent in May.
Nick Clegg sought to reassure his party faithful yesterday, insisting: 'I am not a Tory'.
On the eve of the LibDem conference, he ruled out any electoral pact with the Conservatives and said his party was approaching the 'most anxious psychological point' since the coalition was formed in May.

Q: How can I make the loops fatter? In this code, how can I make my loop fat? I know how to make it longer, but I want it wider as well. Please try to tell me using this code, and not new code. I'm new to tikZ and this is what is familiar for me.
\begin{tikzpicture}[-,>=stealth',shorten >=1pt,auto,node distance=2cm,
  thick,main node/.style={circle,fill=blue!20,draw,font=\sffamily\Large\bfseries}]

  \node[main node] (1) {1};
  \node[main node] (2) [left of=1] {2};
  \node[main node] (3) [right of =1] {3};

  \path[every node/.style={font=\sffamily\small},every loop/.style={looseness=60}]
    (1) edge [loop left] node {} (1)
         edge node {} (2)
         edge node {} (3);
\end{tikzpicture}

A: You can use the in=<angle>, out=<angle> options together with the looseness and/or distance (family of) keys. A little complete example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,positioning}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}[every node/.append style={circle,draw}]
\path
  node (1) {1}
  node (2) [left=of 1] {2}
  node (3) [right=of 1] {3};
\path
  (3) edge [out=30,in=-30,distance=3cm] (3)
  (2) edge [out=150,in=210,looseness=30] (2)
  (1) edge [out=30,in=150,looseness=10] (1)
  (1) edge [out=210,in=330,out distance=5cm,in distance=3cm] (1);
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

A: There is nothing in the Tikz manual about enlarging the loop, so you might have to switch to the regular edge, and use manual out and in angles. A combination of these and looseness does the job.
(1) edge [out=150,in=210,looseness=30] (1)

A: How about using something like
(1) edge [loop left, very thick] node {} (1)
BTW: you should visit
http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/
for useful tricks


Around here I'm playing three regular, ongoing games. Apocalypse World, Shock: Human Contact, and Blowback. It's a grueling schedule—so grueling that none of them are weekly, and Meg and I even have to alternate playing sometimes—but how much fun do you want me to give up, just for the sake of gruel?
Anyhow, Elizabeth's opened Blowback for preorder, and it's a fun game and it's going to be a gorgeous, gorgeous book. Check it: Blowback: Preorder + PDF.

Multi-generational rock legends The Who put on a show of epic proportions, with a full orchestra and plenty of great support acts in the lineup.
First to take the stage is 20-year-old Connor Selby. The stadium contains some early attendees at this point, pinpricks in the huge ground, and the young songwriter captivates with his mature vocals and exceptional guitar playing. Selby's debut album, Made Up My Mind, is heavily influenced by an array of artists spanning genres such as folk, soul, gospel and R 'n' B, all of which shape his techniques – evident in the set today. The vocalist shows off his skills with long licks and riffs in This Old World, backed by a strong bass line. The highlight of the brief billing comes from Tired of Wasting My Time, a sombre and lyrically honest track imbued with the classic rock melodies that so inspired Selby, while the stunning blues-tinged You Hurt me is another example of his gifted musicianship.
A strings-only rendition by Red Limo Quartet introduces Pearl Jam's grunge-rocker Eddie Vedder on stage with Alive, followed by Wishlist, the singer on electric guitar, visible through a sepia screen visual shaped like an old Macintosh computer; the two large screens are off initially, making it difficult for far-seated patrons to see the concert, though this issue is finally fixed. The multi-instrumentalist's set is mainly comprised of Pearl Jam tracks such as I Am Mine, Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town and Corduroy, with an accompanying speech on how much The Who means to him. Vedder is joined by his friend, Pete Townshend's brother Simon, for a cover of his 1983 track I'm the Answer. Glen Hansard, Irish songwriter and star of popular musical Once, later joins Vedder for Society, originally a Jerry Hannan cover used in the 2007's critically acclaimed Into the Wild film soundtrack – a sure highlight. Vedder and Hansard also participate in rapid strumming, evocative of Spanish flamenco guitar playing. A slowed down rendition of Black supported by the orchestra is beautiful and haunting, Vedder's iconic voice echoing in the vast football stadium, while Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love is an audience favourite, contrasting earlier grunge tracks. Vedder completes his set with Porch and a cover of Canadian singer-songwriter Indio's Hard Sun, also part of the Into the Wild soundtrack, and a perfect end.
And then it's time for one of the seminal British groups in the world, ready to grace the stage with cuts from their expansive and influential back catalogue. Backed up by a full orchestra, The Who's performance is thunderous and extravagant, the rock'n'roll veterans giving it everything they got. Overture (Tommy, 1969) sets the mood for a monumental show, and at over two-and-a-half hours long, it does admittedly test the limits of some concertgoers, who leave early, disappointed with the acoustics. 1921, Amazing Journey and Sparks follow from the same album, the guitarists performing with vigour as in their younger years. The band take a mellower approach with We're Not Gonna Take It, Townshend acknowledging the expensive ticket prices, thanking the crowd for working so hard to afford them. They play the more popular Who Are You, with the crowd singing along, but it's Eminence Front that stands heads above a lot of the songs tonight, less rock opera and more unique in musical style. The back screen shows a variety of images throughout, from the members in their formative years to The Who's iconic symbol in blue, white and red concentric circles and England's current women's football team. With two live debuts tonight, Hero Ground Zero and Townshend's song Guantanamo, there is plenty of new material still to show. A kazoo introduces an Aboriginal musical element to Join Again, and finishing off the first half of their set, Townshend pays tribute to his friend and guitar technician Alan Rogan, who passed away only two days previously.
The Who return to earlier work again with Substitute, The Seeker from Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy (1970), Townshend and Daltrey then treating us to an acoustic rendition of Won't Get Fooled Again, followed by a strings version of Behind Blue Eyes, the crowd swaying with phone torches. Vedder is a friend of Townshend, and admired by Daltrey, joining them for The Punk and the Godfather. However, it's Love Reign O'er Me that is one of the final highlights of a grand show, with its glistening visuals, Daltrey's arms raised, singing passionately –powerful and incredibly moving. Uplifting classic Baba O'Riley lights up the dark summer evening with colourful flashing pops of luminous green and blue, Daltrey stating how "the youth is gone, but the f**cking music is better than ever."

Among other new components and features available in ADF 11g PS6 - there is one very important. File Upload ADF Faces component was upgraded to support multiple or basically infinite file upload. This is good to see how ADF framework is progressing with each new release, this is another argument why you should use ADF.
Where are we setting to which server we are uploading the file?
Do we need to set up the host name of server and user name and password of the user who has the permission to set to some specific location?
You are not uploading to the server. You are getting stream in ADF Managed Bean on the server and can save it wherever you prefer.
Information is useful.But on click of SaveFiles , page is getting refreshed with no uploaded file is being displayed .
This is just sample app, it doesnt store files on the server, but demo file upload component.
I tried you application it works fine, I have couple of questions.
If its stored in memory , wont that eat on the heap size.
In our application we were using a 3rd party app, now that ADF has the component, we want to use this feature. Our applicaion has to support large file average 10MB/file. Hence have concerns as to how does the ADF input file deal with the inputstreams.
Would you be able to provide the insight on the question which I had posted.
1) org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY specifies what is the max memory heap to be used per request, if more bytes than this is received then the bytes are stored on the disk (temp) location.
2) org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.UPLOAD_MAX_DISK_SPACE is maximum file size that can be uploaded per request.
So, In cases where a application used file upload a lot ( multiple users uploading at the same time) , we better have smaller values to the org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY so that the heap doesn't fill up.
Yes, i think so. But please give a test and see how it works in your environment.
Is there any way to view uploaded documents in ADF ? For eg : User can able to upload any type of file (image,pdf,doc,.cvs,.avi..etc..) all the files contents will be stored in DB as BLOB object, My question is is there any simple way that user can render the same file how they have uploaded ?
Thanks for this post. I am creating same utility in Jdeve 12c for unlimited files so i am chosen maxFileSize=-1, but here i am facing files.size() counting wrong no of files.
Ex . I am selecting 10 files in browser but its printing files.size()=19 or sometimes different-different.
What i need to change in settings?
Or its bug in 12c. Please check a dummy code.
Hi, is there a way you can stop or cancel the streaming from the browser? I want to give the user ability to cancel the file they are uploading for various reasons.
I am working with ADF PS4.
I want to upload multiple files but i don't find maximumFiles attribute. how can i do ?
Yes I confirm that the JDEV is too old but i want to know if there is a way to upload multiple files with this version. I succeeds to upload single file. Have any suggestion, other ways to do it ?
Yes, you can implement custom task flow. Actually I was planning to post similar blog post, I will put it on my todo list.
What do I need to do in order for this to work in 11.1.2.4? Thanks.
Newer doesnt mean better :) 11.1.2.4 doesnt have multiple files upload feature.
Thank you for your post. It's really useful for me. Keeping your work.
By the way, I am wondering how can I customize my input file UI. I mean, I want to resize the content box that contain some info (file name, size, status and delete button). Because it look like to small.
I am looking forward from your respond.
For me multiple file upload works with the settings you proviede. Only thing is on click on submit button, browser shows confirmation pop up to leave page. Any idea on how can i get rid of this browser pop up.
This doesnt sound related to file upload. May be you have set UncommitedDataWarning option on af:document tag.
Andrejus, Thanks for quick response.
I did check, UncommitedDataWarning option, for af:document in my jspx file and it is set to off.
One more thing, if i set maximum file property to 1 and make appropriate changes in my bean, it browser do not ask that confirmation.
I'm also facing uncommitted data warning. How can i resolve the issue?
If i upload more than 2 files, i'm getting this issue..
I was not able to reproduce it with my sample. Which JDEV version you are using?
Earlier, we set the client state max tokens to 3 for performance improvement. That was causing the issue.
I increased the value. It worked..
Thanks for update, this is useful.
You should use JDBC and BLOB type.
After you select multiple files, how come it still shows "No file chosen" next to the Choose Files button? I believe the "No file chosen" text comes from the Chrome browser (in Firefox, the text shown is "No files selected" next to a Browse button).
It seems like an adf bug that "No file chosen" is still visible after selecting files. If I just try using an input type=file tag with multiple="true" in standard html, after selecting 2 files, it will show "2 files" next to a Choose Files button (in Firefox, it will show "2 files selected" next to a Browse button). But somehow the adf inputFile component does not behave similarly.
But this works with my sample app as per screenshot. May be you are missing some steps?
Not sure if you understood my question about the "No file chosen" issue. Even in the screenshot above (2nd to last one, http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pakU4ZISswU/UWg0Q0-07xI/AAAAAAAAJSg/HhnM8SivcYc/s1600/8.png), it shows "No file chosen" next to the Choose Files button after you already selected the 3 files.
This is not a bug, just file upload component says - no file chosen to upload. Previously uploaded files are already uploaded. I agree, it could be misleading.
I am having an application which uploads multiple files. I selected a huge file for upload. It shows Stop Uploading button along with progress bar. But it still shows "No Files Selected". So looks like ADF bug.
You should increase maximum file size limit.
Could you please provide me a input on how to resize the content box which is holding FileName, Size and Delete button.. that would be great.
I am using Jdev 11.1.7.
Thanks for this post.I am trying to customize this behavior. I want two options (User uploading through Browse button as well Drag and drop on the Area)as seen in your workspace. But i want to restrict the maximum files upload to 1. If i change that am not able to drag and drop area, Also I tried to increase the width using ContentStyle property. But, am not able to use the Browse button if I change the UplaodType = Manual.
Can you please suggest anything.
I am using 11.1.1.7 JDev verison.
I am using your inputFile example into a Dialog where I have a Cancel button to close this Dialog. The issue is here, when I press the Cancel button I am getting the error: IllegalStateException: popView(): No view has been pushed.
I was planning to use 11gR2 for a new project, but looks like it's missing updates from 11gR1.
What do you suggest to use 11.1.2.4 or or 11.1.1.7 ?
I would suggest 12c, but if it is not possible then 11.1.1.7.
I am facing same issue as Cosmin mentioned above. We have a button on upload page which shows validation errors(if any). it hangs once user clicks on this button. Any idea?
I am developing an application in ADF JDeveloper 12c, I wanted to know how to save the selected file (through inputfile component)in a folder which is in IDE.
We are not able to handle mandatory check with required="true" .Looks like it is not working. Any suggestions ?
Even in 12c, the af:inputFile leaves "No Files Selected" message in Chrome after files are selected. Easy fix, set inlineStyle="color:transparent;" It goes away. Seems to work in IE too.
For Ajitha: "the fragment does not support forms." You have to put usesupload=true in the parent jsf page containing the task flow with the jsff.
but when i select more than 2 files it shows its been uploaded, but in value change listener i get 2 files.
Also when selecting multiple files for upload more than 2MB doesnot get selected to input file.
Im unable to download the same code. Could you provide a working link?
Im using fmw 12c stack, would the sample work on 12c as well?
Yes, it should work on 12c.


Check out the interview with Mike Bizness exclusively on Skilly Magazine Online.
Mike Bizness: I always loved music but I never knew I would try to make it a career. It wasn't until my senior year of high school that I realized I was born to do this thing called hip hop. Eventually I came out with my first mixtape in 2010 called Bizness is Pleasure which did pretty good. A year after that I got the attention of 3 major labels. I'm still unsigned, but if the right deal comes along I'm taking it.
First things first. Be yourself. Labels are looking for the newest thing out. Can't be new copying old stuff, so be yourself. Also learn marketing. I personally think that's the whole point of having a label. They want artists who are capable of marketing themselves. Study the business and grind hard for that core fan base.
Getting people's attention. This generation of folks have an attention span of a millisecond to begin with. Getting them to pay attention and listen to my music as an independent artist is difficult. When you begin performing, booking venues is also difficult. Most of the time they make you pay to perform until your commodity is high.
I use websites, especially Soundcloud. That seems to be the go-to site for people wanting to hear new music. If you can afford it get some visuals done, who doesn't love a good high quality music video? YouTube and having my own personal website is a plus. Also doing shows, I gained 3,000 followers in one night performing a show.
I reside in Virginia Beach. I haven't met too many independent artists in this city, but I was ranked #1 in Virginia Beach for hip hop and they fight hard for a top spot. The fans are very supportive, especially if they get to know you on a personal level.
I see myself with a successful hip hop career and branching off doing other things besides music. Either independently or signed by Shady records, Pharrell, or Visionary Music Group.
I look up to a lot of people. Pharrell Williams of course, coming from where I'm from and his sounds are so innovative that they don't belong anywhere. They're not from the south, east, west, or Midwest – they're his sounds and his only. I also look up to Childish Gambino (Donald Glover), Logic, and Chance the Rapper.
I like some of it. Radio's dumbing down every year, you don't have to have talent to get airplay. That's exactly why streaming's so popular, people who want music with substance. My favorite most recent albums are Coloring Book by Chance the Rapper, The Incredible True Story by Logic, and Because the Internet by Childish Gambino.

Q: How to add FP_WGS_84_IBCAO_Polar_Stereographic projection to QGIS? I have a GeoTIFF image that is projected (see below), I would like to add this projection to the list of CRS in QGIS.
Can someone help me do this?
PROJCS["FP_WGS_84_IBCAO_Polar_Stereographic",
   GEOGCS["FG_WGS_84",
      DATUM["FD_WGS_1984",
         SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],

      UNIT["degree",0.01745329251994328,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]],
   UNIT["meter",1,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]],
   PROJECTION["Polar_Stereographic"],
   PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",75],
   PARAMETER["central_meridian",0],

   PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
   AUTHORITY["EPSG","3996"],
   AXIS["X",
      UNKNOWN],
   AXIS["Y",
      UNKNOWN]]

A: Interestingly the only reference to this projection that Google can find is this question. However if you go to http://spatialreference.org/ref/?search=polar&srtext=Search you'll find a list of similar projections.
You can then pick one which has a similar Human readable WKT (e.g. http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3031/html/) and then go to the Proj.4 link (http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3031/proj4/) then copy this text into QGis and modify the number that are different in the WKT and your WKT above.
