Considered one of by far the most typical electrical wiring concerns is regarding how to wire a switch. Although employing switches in the home is fairly effortless, wiring just one may not be that straightforward for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. You will find different types of switches, but for this example, let's say you happen to be installing a single-pole toggle switch, an exceptionally popular switch (and also the simplest).
There are actually a few colors of wires inside of a regular single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and link them on the terminal screws - one on leading as well as the other about the base screw of your switch. The white wire serves as a source of uninterrupted power and it is commonly related to the light coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Join the eco-friendly wire to your ground screw of your respective swap.
These measures would normally be enough for making a normal change do the job without a issue. Nonetheless, for those who are usually not self-confident that you simply can execute the activity appropriately and securely you better enable the professionals get it done rather. After all, there's a cause why this activity has become the most common electrical wiring concerns questioned by most of the people.
For many purpose, tips on how to wire a ceiling fan is usually considered one of probably the most widespread electrical wiring inquiries. To simplify this endeavor, you should utilize just one switch for the single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it is simply a matter of connecting the black wire with the ceiling fan on the black wire of the change. When there is a light-weight, the blue wire really should be linked into the black wire of your change also.
You'll find factors why they're one of the most typically questioned electrical wiring inquiries. One particular, many think it is basic to carry out, and two, these are definitely the frequent electrical tasks in your own home. But then you should not put your safety at risk in your purpose to save cash. The stakes could even be substantially increased in case you try and get monetary savings and do an electrical wiring task without ample understanding or encounter.


Special guests Manie and MaRi Eagar of Digital Futures, who conducted the first study in Canada that set out to discover competitive drivers to build and further develop the ecosystem that supports Vancouver, BC, and Canada, as a global Blockchain and FinTech hub. And who have more associations and accomplishments than can easily be listed in an introduction join host Drew Ogryzek to discuss blockchain, cryptocurrencies and ICOs, and their implications to Canadians and the world.
Blockchain Association of Canada Chairman, Manie Eagar, a contrinuting author of The Fintech Book explains that the BAC is a Canada-wide membership or community representation at a provincial and federal level, giving everybody a voice and participation opportunity in the debate on what blockchain is, how it can be applied, on the one-side through engaging with regulators and bankers on how this technology can make a difference. And on the other side, how it could disrupt the way we do business; literally our business models at the very core, if decentralist principles are applied.
MaRi Eagar says that a lot of solutions, and whitepapers for blockchain based solutions are trying to crack the code of how to create decision making in a different way through coding thinking into an algorithm. Some of the questions aiming to be solved bring up old philosophical debates, such as who should be able to vote, and how much weight an individual's vote should have.
Being very interested in how we might be able to achieve deep democracy, MaRi Eager explains that on the whole, we still seem to think that if everyone votes, then everyone will be happy. At the moment, if we have a minority then someone loses. How to deal with a minority vote and really how to be inclusive could be questions answered by blockchain technology.

Doggy day care loses bid for new countryside home in village – Leicestershire Live
The Tic November 27, 2022 0 Comments
A plan for a doggy day care and dog walking facility in a Leicestershire village has been turned down after concerns it would lead to more traffic and pets "running wild". Hinckley Pets in Home had hoped to relocate its animal care business by building a new premises on land off Dawsons Lane, in Barwell.
However , members of Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council's planning committee followed a recommendation by council officers to refuse the application when they met on Tuesday. The business is currently based at Cold Comfort Farm, within Hinckley, and provides several services, including day care, grooming plus home visits for cats and small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs and fish while owners are away.
Ahead of the decision, a report set out the benefits to the company of the proposal. It stated: "Hinckley Pets in Home currently rent their facility from a local landowner and the proposed development will allow the business to secure itself financially by removing the uncertainty associated with renting premises. It will allow the business to significantly grow its share in the pet services marketplace, create further opportunities for job creation from the current seven members of staff to 10 and provide work experience placements for those requiring them as part of coursework or awards. "

Although four people contacted the authorities to object to the proposal, five wrote in support of the company's plan. One supporter said: "We really rely on the service these people provide [and] we can confidently leave our dogs with them to go on holiday in the knowledge that they will be well looked after and treated as users of their family. " Another added: "This prevents disturbance of the neighbourhood from unattended dogs and provides valuable direct employment for local people plus supports the wider employment of local people by ensuring their dogs are cared for fully when out at work. "
Council planning officers who studied the suggestion raised several concerns, including that the business would introduce an incongruous form of development which would have a negative impact on the open landscape, and that traffic generated by the business would be too much for the single track access road to deal with. There was also an objection from a charity based nearby, whose staff feared the new building would interfere with access to its allotments, and that plants would be lost as result of the construction. Environmental health added that dogs barking could be a nuisance for neighbours.
Comments from local residents included that the application was "clearly out of keeping with the area", stressing concerns about an increase in traffic and the proposed building site being in the open countryside, with another adding that "dogs will be running wild" and that "the parking planned for the site will not be big enough for the workers, let alone the public using it".

Elastic bellows on the Dainese Fulcrum C2 Gore-Tex Boots allow the foot to flex naturally.
To get my seal of approval, touring boots need to be comfortable, durable, waterproof, easy to get on and off (yet stay securely on my feet while riding), and capable of protecting my feet and ankles, with their 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments on each side, in the event of the unexpected. For about 18 months, I regularly wore a pair of Dainese Long Range C2 D-WP Boots, which satisfied all of these criteria, though—thankfully—I never put their crash protection to the test (read my review on ridermag.wpengine.com).
Those Long Range boots are still going strong, but they've been set aside in favor of Dainese's Fulcrum C2 Gore-Tex Boots, which are similar in design but $50 more expensive, primarily because they use Gore's well-regarded (and costly to license) breathable, waterproof membrane instead of Dainese's own D-WP membrane. The Fulcrums have a full-grain cowhide upper, a rubber sole, nylon protective inserts to protect the inner and outer ankles, and a thermoformed insert to protect the shins. Elastic bellows allow the foot to flex naturally. On the inner side of each boot is a heavy-duty zipper, which is covered by a large leather flap backed with hook-and-loop, making ingress and egress a cinch. The interior has a soft lining with a gusset to keep water out and a removable insole.
These are truly fantastic boots. Comfortable from day one with no break-in required, whether on the bike for long hours or walking the mean streets of sleepy Camarillo. The toe box is slender so it's easy to get under the shifter, but there's still plenty of room inside to wiggle my toes. There's good peg feel through the rubber soles, and the rubber shifter pad resists abrasion. With no ventilation, they can get swampy on really hot days, but, on the other hand, they block wind, keep the cold out and are fully waterproof—they aced the riding-in-a-heavy-downpour test. My only complaint is that the reflective trim on the back is small and located near the top of the boot, which is covered up when I wear my pant hems on the outside rather than tucked in. Available in black only in European sizes 38-50 for $299.99.
I've had these same Dainese boots now for two full seasons.
I fully concur everything said in Greg's above review.
I've got slightly "robust" ankles I would say, so with very thick socks I do have just a bit of an issue zipping up the boots. But usually I wear just a thin high wicking boot type sock, and never have a real issue in that instance. From day one, I simply love the feel, comfort and support of these boots.
These are my second pair of Dainese touring boots, but the FULCRUMs are by far my go to boot unless temps here in Texas are expected to be 90 (F) or above for the entire day.
If you have any doubts about his footwear and have the ability to try on this boot before you are absolutely sold on it,…… I dare you to pull on a pair, and not immediately become a believer.
How have the soles held up? They look pretty thin around the ball of the foot. Other than that, they look like a good replacement for my old Frey Daytonas.

Japan's Tech Giant Softbank Completed PoC for Cross-Carrier Mobile Payments Solution

The PoC for the mobile payments system will be showcased at the Mobile World Congress Americas conference that will be held in Los Angeles this week.
The Tokyo-based telecoms carrier Softbank has announced it successfully finished a blockchain proof-of-concept (PoC) that enables P2P transactions via a cross-carrier mobile payments platform.
Developed in partnership with a Californian blockchain technology startup TBCASoft and a multi-channel transaction management solutions provider Synchronoss, the service will let users to conduct in-store and digital purchases via mobile devices. For example, Japan-based users can travel to the US and make payments with dollars during their stay there.
The solution is based on the Rich Communication Services (RCS), a global communication standard that is expected to replace existing text messages with an alternative system that enables the transfer of multimedia, integration with apps, voice calls, and mobile payments.
The platform supports the use of blockchain APIs that lets payment recipients to use an RCS-based messaging app or traditional SMS and mobile email services to get money transfers via the RCS wallet app in the same country or overseas. The use of RCS together with blockchain technology is likely to transform mobile payments, allowing users to send money stored in their wallet from one carrier to another.
"This RCS and blockchain based mobile payments PoC demonstrates the value operator-led services can deliver," said Softbank's Vice President, Takeshi Fukuizumi. "Not only do we foresee our new mobile payment service empowering merchants to operate digitally, and at a scale that was previously only available to big brands, but it will also give our customers more flexibility when it comes to their purchasing and traveling habits."
Last year, SoftBank, together with TBCASoft and other global carriers like the US-based carrier Sprint and Taiwan's leading operator FarEasTone, established the world consortium Carrier Blockchain Study Group (CBSG). The goal of the group is to develop Cross-Carrier Payment Service (CCPS), a cross-carrier blockchain payments solution that was implemented through the PoC.
"Our PoC demonstrates how SoftBank is at the forefront in bringing to market new cutting edge technology through the use of blockchain as well as new RCS-based mobile services, which will disrupt the current messaging and payments market, creating new opportunities for customers, brands, and businesses – and which will also drive incremental revenue for operators from messaging," said Synchronoss CEO, Glenn Lurie.
"RCS messaging will become the foundation for a new, feature-rich marketplace for brands and merchants, both large and small, to interact with subscribers. With our expertise and global reach across multiple messaging platforms – not only RCS, but also email, IM, MMS and SMS, Synchronoss is ideally positioned to take advantage of this important new trend in mobile," he added.
The PoC for the system will be showcased at the Mobile World Congress Americas conference that will be held in Los Angeles this week.

Dickhead uses Twitter thread to outline harrowing account of what it's like to not have Covid-19
Charles Firth
By Charles Firth
A total dickhead has taken to Twitter to outline in harrowing detail what it's like to be a dickhead who doesn't have Covid-19. The thread is a cautionary tale for people who might be thinking that being a dickhead isn't such a bad thing.
The account steps through an account of each day of his ordeal.
"Day One: I woke up with a thumping headache. Might have something to do with the bottle of Bundy rum I drank last night," it begins.
"Day Two: Shortness of breath. Mind you, I am incredibly unfit," it continues.
"Day Three: Listlessness. Decided to go to the beach. The sign said it was closed so I just climbed over the fence. Suffered another bout of incredible shortness of breath. Probably because a guy from the council kept chasing me."
By day four, things took a turn for the worse. "Day Four: I couldn't keep anyting down. Vomiting constantly. I probably shouldn't haven't have eaten that left-over Indian takeaway from the back of the fridge last night."
By day five, the dickhead realises that something might be wrong, and he goes for a test, but the test comes back negative. "Day Five: I can't believe the test came back negative! It was one of those online IQ tests and it says I have a negative IQ! WTF?!"
"Day Six: I have never been this sick in my life. I went for a drive and the streets were empty so I did some sick burns on the freeway. Sick!"
"Day Seven: Can hardly move. But that's mainly because my entire house is stacked full of packs of toilet paper."
By day eight, the dickhead's condition starts improving. "Day 8: I have my appetite back. I have been eating huge quantities of food, especially salty and sugary snack foods. Mind you, that's how I normally eat."
The thread concludes with a heartwarming statement that provides a sage warning for anyone who takes being a dickhead too lightly. "Being someone like me is a lonely experience. You're just surrounded by morons who tell you what to do 'because it'll save lives'. Gees — talk about kill joys."
The government has issued guidelines requesting that all dickheads self-isolate for the rest of their lives.

      cs.execute();
      rs = cs.getResultSet();

getResultSet() is always return null

A: Do check the output of cs.execute() it gives you a boolean to know if the statement was ran successfully. Take it from there.

BDF zero tolerance for drug users
BEA DOTTIN, [email protected]
Within the past seven years, 27 people have been fired from the Barbados Defence Force (BDF) for using illegal drugs.
Chief of Staff Colonel Alvin Quintyne reported to the media yesterday that the BDF had terminated the services of a number of individuals since the force started extensive internal drug testing.
"Since we started the testing with the enforcement of the [drug] policy in 2006, we would have conducted a total of about 3 000 tests and that would mean that individuals such as myself would have done the tests more than once and thus far we would terminated the services of about 27 individuals who were found with illegal substances in their system," he said.
"They would have gone through the investigative phases and, as the force has a zero tolerance policy concerning illegal substances, if you cannot give a good reason why there are illegal drugs in your system, you are terminated from the force."
Quintyne was speaking at the BDF's Paragon, Christ Church headquarters after he addressed 70 recruits about to start four months of training.
He said that soldiers having illegal drugs in their systems was a serious matter; he had to be comfortable that any soldiers stationed on the street would not be a danger to themselves, colleagues, their mission, or to the public. (CA)


For a limited time only, the Sokyo Ramen Pop-Up by Chase Kojima has opened at The Star Café Court. Sokyo Executive Chef, Chase Kojima has put his unique twist on this Japanese staple, with his hole in the wall pop-up serving four varieties of ramen.
Click here to see our Sokyo post.
An interesting and definitely unique ramen that I've never come across until now. A testament to Chase's culinary wizardry and a personal favourite of his, the clear savoury broth breathes fresh and zesty aromas followed by the mouthwatering smell of a light chicken and katsuobushi dashi stock.
The Spicy Miso Tantanmen had a chilli kick that was terribly tasty with it's moreish chilli meat and seafood stock. Every ramen comes with a juicy and tender slice of pork and a marinated egg which soak up all the gloriously rich flavour.
Seriously some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. The crispy golden pieces were a clash of textures with the crunch from the coating and the soft tenderness of the meat. To top that off was a spicy mayo for copious drippings and a fresh and zesty yuzu dressed salad.
The creamy pork, chicken and seafood dashi was thick and rich, topped with shallots and black fungus. This was easily the table favourite, and I was definitely loving the soft boiled egg that made this ramen ever more rich and creamy.
This steaming bowl made with chicken dashi, pork back fat and bean sprouts was really something else. The silky noodles were cook to perfection.
A fresh, tart and tingling sensation on your tongue, this home made soda was the perfect accompaniment to Chase's tasty dishes.
Chase's steaming bowls of goodness are flying out of their little multi-coloured pop-up at a phenomenal rate, and as you can see from the above its well deserved. Get in quick Sokyo Ramen before this pop-up is no more!
