Are questions about semi-domesticated wild animals on topic?
I routinely feed a group of wild magpies near my work and am able to hand feed some of them to the point that my workmates joke about them as my "work pets".
Similarly there are people who will feed orther native or wild animals, such as ducks or squirrels to a point beyond normal human-wild animal interactions.
Would questions about these pseudo-pets be on-topic?
Such questions that might be contentious would include:
What should I feed wild animal X?
Can I safely hand-feed X?
edit: I'm asking this question not because I necessarily want these questions, but more to help identify the communities position on them. I think there may be some value, in some questions especially as the difference between an exotic and wild animal is how it was raised. But its just as important to clearly define whats off-topic as well as whats on-topic.
But, having a solid community stance on these types of questions we can defer to will help when more users start using the site.
Copying my answer from the area51 discussion of What animals should we classify as pets?, as I think it is relevant:
I believe this can be simply addressed by "a pet is any animal kept in or around a household that is dependant upon that household for food, shelter, and care."
Yes, this definition includes livestock, but is that really a problem? What, if any, is the reason for excluding questions on livestock from this site before it even launches?
What is the practical difference between "how do I fix problem x with one of my goats?" and "I love my goat, Norman, very much! How do I fix problem x with Norman?"
I don't think I'd bring the concept of ownership into the equation, because what if someone wants to ask about someone else's pets? Is it off-topic to ask a question about my neighbor's dogs? What about asking for advice in picking out pets? What about domesticating wild or feral animals? My mother, for example, has rescued several feral cats; should they be off-topic until after she takes them into her home?
To address the specific question of the magpies near work, I'd say that no, they don't qualify as on-topic here.

I think people don't want to include livestock because we don't want to become farming.stackexchange.com. But, on the other hand, I would have no problem with questions about behaviour training applied to livestock, for example, so I wouldn't outright rule them off-topic either. – ThomasH Oct 9 '13 at 9:56
@ThomasH I'm hoping we can strike a balance between allowing some relevant questions on livestock, without turning into a resource primarily for farmers/breeders. It shouldn't be too difficult to maintain our focus while being a bit more inclusive. – Beofett Oct 9 '13 at 12:16
Not to get all pedantic, but the dictionary says that "any domesticated or tamed animal that is kept as a companion and cared for affectionately" is considered a pet, and I think that is pretty good definition that might work for this site, with caveats for feral animals and the like that become pets in a companion and care sense.
These birds are neat, certainly, but since you only feed them, and then only occasionally, and don't see to any of their other care, I think they are pets in only a tangential joking way, and I don't feel like questions of this type really match the tone and intent of this site. It is entirely possible the community won't agree, but I feel like this is a good way to determine what animals to ask about.
There will always be exceptions, such as the magpies that Skippy mentions, but I think that also considering the level of personal interaction with the animal is another consideration.
By all means, be pedantic! I just figured its an issue that may come up, and having a community agreed to position would be helpful. – user35 Oct 9 '13 at 0:32
There are scenarios where I'd actively disagree with that definition, at least in regards to our scope. For example, feral pets that live in home (such as in this recent question of mine. – Beofett Oct 9 '13 at 1:28
@beofett I forgot about feral animals, which is kinda sad considering that is where most of my mother's cars have come from. I will try to edit to make it more encompassing. – Ash Oct 11 '13 at 19:39
I would also exclude domesticated animals where the questions deal with the exploitation for commercial or other purposes. As an example, a question on how to get rabbits to the highest weight at 6 to 8 weeks of age implies non-pet centered motivation. Assuming there is no forth coming clarification bringing it into scope it should be closed and deleted. While questions about healthy steps to increase or maintain weight in rabbits (i.e. How can I help my adult rabbit gain weight? ) is in scope.
The type of animal is not important, it is the relationship that makes an animal a pet. Pretty much every domesticated animal (except maybe cats) have and (depending on culture) do fill dual roles as both companion (pet) and food source.

I understand we do not want an endless open door, but at the same time, we cannot afford to turn too many people away. I would vote for loosening the bounds a bit. In that people can have relationships with animals, that they do not own, but treat as pets. Perhaps not full time pets, but in many aspects.
I believe that any animal or group of animals that a human being has an interactive personal relationship with could be considered a pet.
For instance, I know of a man who would feed the local ducks daily at the same time, the ducks, although wild, would gather and wait for him. They would allow him to get close and pet them. Not other people. (smart ducks)
I agree livestock is out, that is why I suggested animals, that were typically used for livestock, that can be, occasionally kept as pets. Are questions about horses and/or farm pets on topic?
I lived in a house where we had generations of magpies coming into our garden. After a while the babies would let me hand feed them, while the parents (babies from the previous years) watched. I consider this to be valid as a question on pets, especially considering, I prefer to see the birds in the wild rather than in a cage.
I feel questions about town birds are OK.
There is no Animal Stack Exchange or Birds Stack Exchange.
Wouldn't it be kind of strange if people could post questions about tarantulas, but not about the magpies or the ducks in the local park?
Also, the people who care about the birds in their neighbourhood, are likely to care about other animals too, and have useful knowledge. When's the last time you heard someone say "I only care about the well-being of the ducks in the pond, not about the caged birds of my friend"? So let's welcome people with questions and answers about town birds into our community!
Besides, where else on Stack Exchange could you post questions about town birds? The alternative is to make a separate Stack Exchange for "Semi-domesticated animals", which would draw attention away from here.
I guess what I'm saying is, let's give people with questions/answers about semi-domesticated animals a place here. It helps them, it helps the birds, and it's good for us as a community.

Actually there is an Animal or Birds Stack Exchange (biology.stackexchange.com) here is a similar question they have Taking care of Birds: Unwanted species scaring away a less common one from a birdhouse – James Jenkins♦ Nov 6 '18 at 18:09
Seems marginal. I think your example would be more on topic than questions about duck feeding at the local park. At the Royal Botanical Gardens here in Ontario, we can easily hand feed the local chickadee and chipmunk population, but I wouldn't call them pets.

The finish of Signature "Precision" purposely follows the tradition established by the original Signature series. Bright, rich and warm character. Featuring a wide range and clean mix with a giving feel. The Signature Precision Ride features a defined ping with slightly silvery wash. All-purpose ride cymbal for various applications.
Get your Paiste Signature Precision Ride today at the guaranteed lowest price from Sam Ash with our 45-day return and 60-day price protection policy.
I bought this at Sam Ash in Dallas and as soon as I got this on my stand, the guys in my band were raising their eyebrows. This ride is solid. Very present in our room where our studio is. I cannot wait to play this live. That being said, I did use a moon gel on the bow to dampen it a bit for recording. The sound I hear is reminiscent of the SOUND FORMULA of 90s. Think the Signature Full Ride and add around 75 grams. The sustain on this cymbal is very long. The crash on this is just luscious. We play classic rock , blues and red dirt country as well as a lot of rockabilly. I have been using a Paiste Dimensions full ride , and this in comparison , is like adding a big dose of octane to my kit. I plan on getting the crashes (thin and regular) from this series to add that voice to my sound......I am that impressed by this thing. If you are looking for an aggressive ride that will cut through the guitars in an amplified setting , this is your PIE. If you want something that is a bit more subtle , look to the Giant Beats or even the new Big Beat 2002 cymbals. Cymbals are all about preference. I like Paiste because of the bright and present character of their lines. I do use Sabian hi hats and have used Zildjian K Con rides in the past , but find them to be just to dark for my liking, again , just a personal preference. This ride is for me , a culmination of what I have sought for over two decades, and thanks to the "Stellar Customer Service" at the Dallas store by Malcom , not to mention the helpful advice of their live sound and recording department , who gave me very good counsel on recording and microphones, my search is over. I must say , I am very pleased with Sam Ash as a whole , and this store in particular. I will never again shop at GC. Bottom line , yes , I would recommend this ride for Rock , Hard Rock and Metal players. This ride would be at home on any other players kit as well, with a bit of moon gel or in some cases (makes me shutter) a bit of tape.

New Media MythCrusher addresses cultured and plant based protein products
KEYWORDS frankenmeat / meat institute / mythcrusher / plant-based protein
Advances in the development of cultured meat products and plant based "meat alternatives" are hot topics in the media, though often with inaccuracies about the environmental impact, nutrition and safety of traditional meat products. To help address many of these common mistakes, the North American Meat Institute has developed its newest Media MythCrusher. The document discusses 13 different misperceptions and provides the facts for reporters to use as they develop their stories.
"There are many claims made about how new technologies compare to traditional meat production, though context is often lacking in news coverage," said Meat Institute Vice President of Public Affairs Eric Mittenthal. "The Media MythCrusher aims to provide the facts about traditional meat production and how it relates to new technologies."
The Media MythCrusher includes more detail on the USDA definition of meat as debate continues about how new cultured and plant based products should be regulated. It also highlights the science on the environmental impact of meat production, one of the most common inaccurate claims seen in news coverage. Recent research suggests that eliminating animal agriculture in the U.S. reduce greenhouse gas emissions by only 2.6%, and increase deficiencies in essential nutrients.
The Media MythCrusher is the sixth in the series, which also features documents addressing myths about the environmental impact of meat, antibiotics, meat curing and sodium nitrite and the International Agency for Research on Cancer review of red and processed meat. It complements the Meat MythCrusher video series, featuring 54 videos produced by the Meat Institute and American Meat Science Association (AMSA). The videos include interviews with meat scientists and other prominent experts on the most common myths surrounding meat and poultry production and processing.

Q: How do I delete all files with a certain extension in Windows 8? A while ago I turned my laptop (Windows 8) over to "Geek Squad" to fix a few minor issues. When I got it back, I found many folders in my drive with some sort of placeholder file in each of its sub-folders.
Rather than asking Geek Squad about it or dealing with it right away, I recently attempted to fix it with a Command Prompt entry [del /s *.gwqa], suggested for Windows 7. Instead of rapidly deleting all of the files, it just made the files invisible to the Command Prompt function. I understand fairly little about computers, but that seems irreversibly inconvenient, without the right program.

A: Open Computer and write *.[extension] (i.e. *.jpg) in the search bar. This should give you a list of all files of the specified extension.

Climate Science Isn't Settled, Energy Secretary Perry Testifies
By Bonner R. Cohen
At a hearing before the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Energy Secretary Rick Perry disagreed with Sen. Al Franken's (D-MN) view human greenhouse gas emissions are driving climate change.
During the June 22 hearing, Perry acknowledged climate is changing but said he did not believe human carbon dioxide emissions are the main cause.
"If the climate is changing and you disagree that carbon dioxide is the driver, what do you think is driving the change?" Franken asked Perry.
'Naturally Occurring Events'
"I think there are some other naturally occurring events, the warming and the cooling of our ocean waters, other activities that occur," Perry said.
In support of his claim, Perry cited Steven Koonin, a physicist who served as undersecretary for science at the U.S. Department of Energy during the Obama administration.
"He [Koonin] said that the science isn't settled yet, and I ask the committee, and I'll ask you, don't you think it's o.k. to have this conversation about the science of climate change?" Perry said.
Why No Debate?
Responding to Perry, Franken mistakenly claimed Richard Muller, a physics professor at the University of California–Berkeley, said in a 2012 New York Times op-ed, "Humans are entirely the cause" of global warming.
To which Perry responded, citing Koonin, "Why don't we have a red team approach?"
Koonin suggested having a debate between a "red team" of climate skeptics and a "blue team" of scientists who argue humans are driving climate change, in an April 20, 2017 Wall Street Journal op-ed. Koonin noted face-offs between teams holding conflicting views are a standard practice in national security matters.
Isaac Orr, a research fellow at The Heartland Institute, which publishes Environment & Climate News, says many climate scientists have overemphasized the human role in climate change.
"The earth has warmed about 1 degree C since the late 1800s, but half of this warming occurred before 1950, when only about 10 percent of human carbon dioxide emissions had occurred," said Orr. "Therefore, attributing all of the warming since the end of the Little Ice Age to human activity is problematic."
Missed Opportunity?
James Taylor, president of the Spark of Freedom Foundation, says Franken missed an opportunity to agree with Perry on one important aspect of the climate and energy debate.
"Sen. Franken missed a golden opportunity to advance common-ground energy policy," Taylor said. "Franken attempted to pick a fight with Secretary Perry on the finer points of climate science when they both agree on appropriate policy solutions.
"Perry is a strong advocate of emissions-free nuclear power, and Franken also supports nuclear power, to reduce carbon dioxide emissions," said Taylor. "Why pick an irrelevant fight on science details when both agree on an energy policy that would dramatically reduce carbon dioxide emissions?"
Taylor says many climate believers share many climate skeptics' support for nuclear power.
"The true consensus in the climate debate is support for nuclear power," said Taylor. "Skeptics and conservatives support nuclear power as a more affordable and reliable alternative to wind and solar energy, while prominent scientists concerned about global warming, such as James Hansen, Kerry Emanuel, Ken Caldeira, Tom Wigley, and Richard Muller, support nuclear energy as an emissions-free power source."

How to Get from Barcelona to Morocco
Europe Spain Barcelona
All Barcelona
Damian Corrigan
Damian Corrigan is a travel writer who has traveled extensively throughout Spain since moving there in 2003. He has written about the country full time since 2006.

It usually doesn't escape people's attention when planning a trip to Spain that you have Africa right on your doorstep. Morocco is just 20 miles from Spain... but it's a lot farther from Barcelona than that. So what's the best way to get from Barcelona to Morroco?
The Best Way
Undoubtedly, flying is the best, as it gets you straight to one of Morocco's top cities, such as Marrakech. The direct ferry takes 24 hours, which is longer than taking the train down to the south coast and then taking a ferry from there.
If you want to avoid both flying and the day-long ferry, you'll need to get to the south coast. The quickest way to do this is to take the AVE high-speed train from Barcelona to Malaga (the journey takes five-and-a-half hours) and then to take a bus from Malaga to Tarifa. Only slightly slower, but a lot more interesting, is to take the train from Barcelona to Seville, spend a few days in Seville (a far nicer city than Malaga) before taking the bus from Seville to Tarifa.
From Tarifa, there are frequent ferries to Morocco.
Ferries to Morocco
Seville to Morocco
Malaga to Morocco
There are several flights from Barcelona to Morocco. Cities in Morocco with flights from Barcelona include Marrakech (Marrakesh), Fez (Fes), Casablanca, Nador, and Tangier.
Fes or Marrakech are the best choices. Marrakesh flights are run by Vueling while the Fez flights are run by Ryanair.
Compare Prices on Flights from Barcelona to Morocco
Ferries from Barcelona to Morocco take approximately 24 hours. They also drop you off in one of Morocco's least exciting cities, Tangier. This route is not recommended.
This ferry is run by GNV.

Terra Pura (en xinés: 净土 Jìngtǔ) o País Pur és la més antiga de les sectes del budisme mahayana de la Xina. Fou fundada el 402 dC per Hui Yuan.

La seua doctrina afirma que la vida està governada pel karma i la reencarnació, plena de tristesa i desil·lusió; l'alliberament s'aconsegueix solament per la fe en el buda Amitabha, i l'ésser humà no pot fer res per redimir-se. El buda Amitabha solament concedeix la redempció als qui invoquen el seu nom.

Japó
Al Japó rebé el nom de Jodo i fou fundada per Honen (1133-1212).

Per a estendre el missatge d'aquesta religió pel Japó, s'utilitzaren les col·leccions de biografies de les persones que havien renascut en la Terra Pura (anomenades ōjōden). Un exemple d'aquestes col·leccions és Shinshū jōdō ōjōden (compilada el 1084 durant la dinastia Sung).

����An accident at an experimental nuclear waste storage facility, the Western Atomic Longterm Dumping Organisation (WALDO for short), has leaked toxins into the local water table. Senior engineer Heinrich Schmidt (Ross Thompson) is badly contaminated in the accident and flees from medical treatment when he suspects that the crooked managers of the plant are planning to "keep him quiet".
����Heading through nearby bush, Heinrich comes across Sydney mechanic Larry Stilson (Steve Bisley) and his wife Carmel (Arna-Maria Winchester) who are out bush for a dirty weekend. The pair take in Heinrich, but the WALDO heavies are desperate and the pair of good samaritans soon find themselves a target. Copious amounts of car stunts, and other assorted action (much of it to the spectacular backdrop of an abandoned shale mine), ensue as the trio attempt to get out word of the mishap and save their own skins.
����The Chain Reaction is a pretty decent attempt at recapturing the magic of Mad Max a year after it exploded onto screens and into the bank accounts of Aussie producers. Steve Bisley stars in a very similar role to his Goose character from Mad Max. "Associate producer" George Miller, as well as many of the other Mad Max crew, were responsible for many of the stunts and action cinematography. There's even a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo from Mel Gibson, as a workmate of Larry's.
����Like Mad Max, the stunts and action are great. The raw, pre-CGI, car chases and high speed crashes are well and truly the highlight of the film. The story is solid, if a little routine, and supports the fast paced action well. There is little question as to whether the emphasis is towards the story or the stunts though - it is very much the latter.
����The film is presented in a 1.70:1 aspect ratio (from an original 1.66:1 aspect ratio) and is 16x9 enhanced.
����The video looks very good. The image is sharp and features only mild film grain. There is a good level of shadow detail, although some of the blacks lock a little more live very dark grey than true black. The colour in the film is a little murky, but generally quite natural.
����The video is free from compression related artefacts. A reasonably number of small film artefacts and a few reel change markings are noticeable, however, with noticeably more noise near reel change points.
����No subtitles are present for the feature.
����This is a RSDL disc. The layer break occurs at 51:48 but was not noticeable on my equipment.
����A single English Dolby Digital 2.0 (224 Kbps) audio track is present for the film.
����The audio is limited by the basic nature of the original mix, but generally sounds quite good. Dialogue is clear and generally in good sync.
����The movie features a hokey electronic score from Andrew Thomas Wilson, which is as much a testament to the era the film hails from as the helmet haircuts and flares on most of the characters.
����There is no surround or subwoofer usage.
����A very good making-of featurette that covers the production process, the reception of the film and its place in the annals of Australian film history. The story is told from a series of recent interviews from with director Ian Barry, producer David Elfick and star Steve Bisley. A little too much time is spent discussing the story concept, but that makes for a small gripe and one that is quickly made up for by the rest of the featurette.
����The Chain Reaction director Ian Barry's earlier short film. The Sparks Obituary was intended to be made into a feature, but the producers could only raise the capital for a short (albeit one that managed to attract the likes of plenty of notable Aussie actors, including Hugh Keays-Byrne) as they had trouble selling such a far out sci-fi concept to financiers.
����This is the story of Harry Sparks, an acclaimed film director who went blind making what he would claim was to be his opus. A notoriously shifty millionaire, come movie producer, has enlisted Sparks to complete his film using an experimental machine that will translate his thoughts into moving pictures. The machine puts a tremendous strain on his state of mind and both his physical and mental health, but the results are astounding. So astounding that the producer is reluctant to turn the machine off even when it pushes Sparks to the brink of death. Never fear, feeble Sparks will find his revenge through the machine.
����This is a dark and engaging work of science fiction that is easily as worthwhile as the main feature on the disc. Though it came much earlier and the two are in no way related, The Sparks Obituary treads similar ground to Dennis Potter's acclaimed Cold Lazarus. Surprisingly decent low budget effects, great acting, great story.
����A handful of deleted and (mostly) extended scenes. Nothing that really adds anything to the film.
����A fairly effective 30 second trailer for the film.
����A clumsy, overlong trailer for the film that gives away too much and tells too little about the film.
����A short slideshow of production stills and international posters for the film. Some of the European posters are worth a look, but the presentation style (a silent three minute video) is far from the best way to present the material.
��������Trailers for other Aussie classics from the era, Road Games, Survivor, The Time Guardian and The Cars That Ate Paris.
����A bare-bones, budget edition of The Chain Reaction was released in Region 1 some years back (billing it as a Mel Gibson movie, no less), but the Region 4 outclasses it in every way.
����Steve Bisley, fast cars and a sinister conspiracy. An entertaining action/thriller from the height of the Ozploitation era.
����The video and audio are decent. The extras are excellent, particularly the short film The Sparks Obituary.

The innocence of Jacques-Pierre Brissot
Burrows, S. (2003) The innocence of Jacques-Pierre Brissot. The Historical Journal, 46 (4). pp. 843-871. ISSN 0018-246X
Even during his lifetime, the French revolutionary Girondin leader Jacques-Pierre Brissot de Warville's reputation was tarnished by allegations that, before 1789, he was a swindler, police spy, and political pornographer. These charges resurfaced in 1968 in a celebrated article by Robert Darnton, which found miscellaneous, fragmentary evidence to support them, above all in the papers of the pre-revolutionary police chief, Lenoir. Although Darnton's view has been challenged by several historians, no critic has supplied any substantive new evidence, and hence the Brissot debate remains mired in assertions and counter-assertions.
This article finally offers such evidence, drawing both on Darnton's main source, the Lenoir papers, and on sources unavailable to him in 1968, notably records of Brissot's Licée de Londres and his embastillement, now on deposit in the Archives Nationales. While acquiting Brissot on all counts, it finds that Darnton's suspicions were not entirely unfounded. Brissot did have compromising links to both police and political pornographers. Nevertherless, allegations that he spied and wrote scandalous pamphlets appear malicious, despite Brissot's arrest on the latter charge in 1784. The article also attempts to explain Brissot's motivations and the lasting implications of his arrest and persecution in shaping Brissot and the French Revolution.

Meet 'Rambo,' the domestic raccoon with a new lease on life
CTV Atlantic Published Monday, December 18, 2017 7:26PM AST Last Updated Monday, December 18, 2017 7:27PM AST
A raccoon named "Rambo" who was nursed back to health by a Hants County man has now become part of his family.
Billy Holman, who owns a farm in East Uniacke, N.S., says a group of children found Rambo starving and helpless in a ditch. He had cared for raccoons before, and always released them back into the wild -- but with Rambo, he realized that could end in tragedy.
"We noticed when we were feeding him and stuff, he took seizures, so we knew we couldn't release him," says Billy Holman.
Holman reached out to a number of wildlife organizations, but only got offers to euthanize. He says as time passed, Rambo grew into the strong, silent type – just like his namesake.
These days, he's far more of a pet than a predator, routinely running errands with the family. He even found time for a photo with Santa Claus this year.
Rambo's becoming a regular at some local businesses, but his public appearances are still causing abuzz on social media. But animal rescue specialist Hope Swinemar of Hope for Wildlife warns it can be dangerous to domesticate raccoons.
"Once hormones kick in, once the raccoon gets to be about a year old, they can become very aggressive and dangerous," says Swinemar. "It's always a good idea to get wild animals back out to the wild where they need to be."
The Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources agrees, saying in a statement to CTV News that adopting wildlife as house pets is "dangerous to the animal and rescuer" and against the law in Nova Scotia.
"Creatures of the wild do not make good pets and captivity poses a constant stress to them. When raised without contact with their own species, wildlife fail to develop survival skills and fear of humans, virtually eliminating their chances of survival in the wild," said Bruce Nunn of the natural resources department.
But Holman says the natural resources department isn't offering the help Rambo needs.
"We even went to natural resources but they wouldn't even help us. They wanted to just put him down," he says. "You can't release him back. He's really domesticated now, so
The family fears it's now too late to send Rambo back to the wild, so they'll seek a permit to keep him after they've had him neutered.
In the meantime, Rambo sleeps in the family barn, free to come and go as he pleases.

They have moved the cosmetics in the Salisbury store downstairs between the food and the women's collection. The lighting is not good here even with my glasses on I had difficulty in finding what I wanted.
Giles who served me today was very helpful with questions I had and did not push me to have some items which were short on date when I asked if they would last an extra 2 days. He let me make my own decision on whether I would buy or not.
I have been served by a delightful young lady in the Grimsby store. Her name is Paige and apparently she is on a trial . It is so lovely these days to get a young person with such potential . She deserves a chance .
I couldnt find the colour I wanted, in the size, I needed, and the smiley lady not only looked along the rails, but went into the storeroom, and voila! found just what I had made the journey for.
and she was still smiling!

The best document management systems are automated
25 FebThe best document management systems are automated
Written by Dan Turner
Categorised Contract Management
Did you know that companies spend almost 5% of their revenue tracking agreements after signing a contract?
Organisations of all sizes find manual management of contracts and related documents to be time-consuming, disorganised, frustrating and expensive.
We could list a lot more disadvantages to manual records management, but there's no doubt that organisation presents the biggest challenge. When contract records are managed manually, across a variety of spreadsheets and local file locations, organising the documents can be onerous, with bottlenecks, miscommunication and missed deadlines. You don't have to suffer in silence!
Automate your system with contract management software
Contract management software can move you out of the dark ages of manual record management and provide an easy solution to managing documents. System users can store counterparty information, agreements and related documents, version tracking, signed documents and status updates all in one central location.
How about better transparency, communication, security, compliance, and cost-savings for a start?
At Four, we offer Contract Insight, the best in contract management software. But don't take our word for it – why not explore the four key organisational benefits it will give you:
1. A central repository – easily collaborate within the system by sharing contract records, comments, document changes, and more.
With Contract Insight, our contract management software, you get a central contract repository, which allows your users to store all necessary documents in one accessible location, available to all interested parties. You can easily identify the most recent document versions, giving your entire organisation better visibility so you don't waste time looking for documents in other departments. And it logs any changes made to any document by any user, so you can be sure that you are always working on the most recent version.
2. Increased document security – control who can view, edit, and approve documents for high-level contract security.
Our contract management system provides users with controlled access over contracts and any associated documents, meaning only those approved to review or make changes to a contract can do so. You can customise this security configuration for every contract record in the system. Document control is essential, especially when dealing with contracts.
3. Improved compliance – track who did what, and when, all from within the system.
With Contract Insight you can track user activity, allowing all system administrators to view who did what and when. Users can gain insights to who is causing process holdups and where in the process each contract is, eliminating bottlenecks. Not only does the system benefit external parties and contracts, but it can also easily track employee compliance. Make internal training, new employee agreements, and other regulated policies easy to complete by tracking who has completed which training modules, who has signed which agreements, and who needs to be notified that they have not completed their task.
4. Streamlined Signatures – e-signatures streamline the agreement process, closing deals easier and faster.
Easily track internal and external signatures with your contract management software by integrating e-signature tools. System users can quickly send and retrieve signed agreements from anyone, even from those who don't use the system. An email can be sent with the prepared document, signed, and sent back. The document is then automatically uploaded back into the system and attached to the appropriate contract record. Systems that support bulk signatures simplify mass contract amendments or policy changes even further.

Phoenix votes in favor of renovating Suns' Talking Stick Resort Arena
Cronkite Sports Stories

UPDATED: January 25, 2019 at 10:41 am

PHOENIX – Citizens, protesters and fans came together Wednesday to fill the Phoenix City Council chamber in anticipation of a vote that would dictate the future of the Phoenix Suns.
When the decision came, the Phoenix City Council voted 6-2 in favor of a $230 million plan to renovate Talking Stick Resort Arena downtown.
"We made a contract," interim mayor Thelma Williams said at the time of the vote, "and I feel very strongly that the city of Phoenix honor its contracts."
The cost estimate of the approved renovation is around $230 million. The city's share of the renovation is capped at $150 million, and the Suns will pay the remaining $80 million plus any additional expenses.

She explains the revenue that the repairs and renovations to the arena would bring in, as well as the impact on the community. (Photo by Oskar Agredano/Cronkite News)
According to a city cost breakdown of the renovation expenses, the projected total cost is closer to $235 million.
During the city council meeting, community and economic development director Chris Mackay reiterated the city's presentation and justification for the proposal, and emphasized the economic importance and impact of the downtown facility.
"Downtown is moving in the right direction," Mackay said. "The arena has been key."
As part of the agreement, the Suns also agreed to pay for the construction of a new practice facility to be located in Phoenix and estimated to cost $25-50 million.
"The Phoenix Suns are a community asset," Suns president and CEO Jason Rowley said at the meeting before the vote. "It's a building that's owned by the city but utilized by the community."
The public money used to pay for the arena renovations will come from the Phoenix Sports Facilities Fund, a tax fund comprised of tourism tax revenue. The fund accumulates a 1 percent tax on hotel stays and a 2 percent tax on car rentals within the state.
"This is a 'screw you citizens of Phoenix deal,' " said Greta Rogers, 90, whose protest of the proposed arena deal during a Dec. 12 city council meeting went viral, before the start of the meeting.
"This was never brought to our attention when they started talking in November, December," Rogers said. "Never."
Many citizens lined up to speak for or against the proposal prior to the vote. Interim mayor Williams stopped the procession of speakers after the item had been discussed for over two hours and with 29 people, she said, still in queue.
Under the new agreement, the Suns will continue to share profits and pay rent to the city. The rent and profit share to the city is estimated to be $60 million dollars over the upcoming 15-year agreement, from 2022-2037. The Suns will also continue to fully pay for operations and maintenance costs, according to the city. Major renovations are not covered under maintenance costs, as the city owns the building and operates as the team's landlord.
The city will pay $2 million and the Suns will pay $1 million annually towards a new Renewal and Replacement account for costs of future infrastructure needs, according to the city.
Work began on the arena in 1989 and it officially opened in 1992. The Suns were nearing the end of their 30-year operating agreement with the city of Phoenix.
Without an approved plan, the Suns would have had the ability to leave Phoenix when their agreement with the city ends in 2022.
The agreement will replace eroding infrastructure in the arena, including plumbing, electrical, roofing and structural issues, while also updating fan amenities such as the seating bowls, suite levels and the main concourse.

The new agreement keeps the Suns in the arena through 2037, with an option to extend their lease until 2042. The Suns would face a $200 million fine if they break their new agreement and leave Phoenix before 2037.
Failure to reach a new agreement with the city would have triggered the obsolescence clause in their current operating agreement as soon as July 1, 2019. The obsolescence clause in the Assurance Agreement between the city of Phoenix and the Suns calls for an independent arbitration group to evaluate the building, determine whether the building and its functionality is obsolete and if so, how much money it would cost the city to make the arena suitable for its tenant, the Suns.
If the obsolescence clause had been enacted, Phoenix would have had to fully pay the evaluated price without funding from the Suns, or else the team could be free to leave Phoenix upon the expiration of their current agreement in 2022. It is possible that the evaluation reached by the obsolescence process could have exceeded the $150 million proposed by the city.
The Phoenix City Council postponed its initial vote scheduled for Dec. 12 after public dispute and a call for more information and time to educate citizens. The city held five public meetings throughout Phoenix to explain the proposed renovation plan more thoroughly and open a dialogue about the proposal with residents.
The downtown arena hosts approximately 130 ticketed events such as concerts, professional sports, conventions and community events. It is also home to the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and the Indoor Football League's Arizona Rattlers. Suns events make up 33 percent of the arena's events, according to the city.
Renovations are scheduled to occur from 2019-2021.

Benjamin Franklin Brooks (1897-1918)
World War I Memorial
The Square in Yanceyville contains a memorial to the men who died in military service during World War I. On that memorial plaque is listed Benjamin Franklin Brooks (1897-1918). Who was he? Who were his parents? How did he die?
Benjamin Franklin Brooks, nicknamed Jack, was born April 22, 1897, in Person County, North Carolina, a son of Samuel Matthew Brooks (1856-1919) and Leah Long Brooks (1861-1950). A few years later, his family moved to the Hightowers community of Caswell County, where young Jack Brooks attended the local schools. He grew tall, was of medium build, with brown eyes and black hair.
By 1918, he had struck out on his own, farming land in the Caswell County Corbett community, having married Clara Hensley in 1915.
The couple had one known child, Frances Louise Brooks, born September 24, 1917, in Alamance County. She married Rufus Virgil Nelson (1906-1986) and for many years was the face of the Caswell County Tax Office in the old Caswell County Courthouse.
Were there other children that we have missed? Please help.
Called to World War I military service in August 1818, Jack Brooks received his Army infantry training at Camp Wadsworth near Spartanburg, South Carolina. In October of that year, he was assigned to overseas duty, and sailed to Europe from Newport News, Virginia, landing at the harbor town of Saint-Nazaire on the west coast of France.
Having become ill on the Atlantic voyage, Jack Brooks developed pneumonia and died only three days after reaching France. He was buried with full military honors and rests at the Oise-Aisne American Cemetery. He is not alone, but with 6,012 American war dead. Their white headstones are aligned in long rows, divided into four sections by wide paths with a circular plaza at the center.
Here is the only image we have of Benjamin Franklin (Jack) Brooks. He is second from the left, with a shotgun over his shoulder. To the far left is his sister Mary Fannie Brooks (1889-1978). The others are believed to be siblings, but not identified.

They do it all the time. If you think about it, UPS and Fed-Ex are doing just fine. It's the Post Office that's always having problems…. there is nothing inevitable about this somehow destroying the private marketplace. As long as it is not set up where the government is being subsidized by the taxpayers so that even if they are providing a good deal, we keep having to pony up more and more money.
Lew Rockwell has written an article, Obama and the Post Office, in which he shows how that Obama's simple admission gets to the heart of the problem. If the government run and supported Post Office can't stop losing money, how does anyone expect health care to be different? As Rockwell points out the only reason the Post Office accomplished anything (while still losing money) is that the law prohibits any competition in certain areas of it's business.
When the government can't compete in an area of business, laws are passed to either make the competition illegal or at least lots more difficult.
The entire text of President Obama's town hall meeting can be found at the New York Times with the statements mentioned here being located at page 9.

Oh sure. Giving birth is such a huge risk, one wonders how the human race even survived without this critical procedure and the boat of death. What kind of hashish are you and her smoking?
Actually it is rather well known that pregnancy is quite a large risk compared to abortion. In the UK the risk of death from pregnancy (direct and indirect, and including ectopics) is about 1:10,000 - which is not huge, but is a significant cause of mortality.
In countries without the medical care of a Western country death from pregnancy is much higher, for example, parts of Africa it is 1:200. Even just considering the ectopic pregnancy rate that runs at 1:60-100 child birth would have been a massive risk historically (of course mortality was much higher historically so the child birth risk would have been less obvious since so many other things might kill you anyway).
Oh, I see. So you see abortion as the answer to the higher death from pregnancy rates in Africa. I'm wondering, is there ever a situation where you think abortion is not the answer for an issue related to pregnancy, and if so what?
No, I see legal medical abortion as the answer to the higher death rates from illegal back street abortions.
But that has nothing to do with my reply to you. By showing the differential death rates from abortion and pregnancy I was pointing out why Rebecca Gomperts is right*, and you, as always, are wrong on the figures.
Your contention is abortion saves womens lives. My question is what that has to do with the 20-year-old coming in to get an abortion because she doesnt want to take care of a baby?
'Nothing' is the answer to that question by the way.
But logic doesn't seem to be a big part of your answers since you seem to believe that abortion is some kind of safety device.
Abortion undoubtedly saves women's lives, looking at the figures I would say perhaps around 3 per 100,000.
My question is whether you are able to accept that undoubted fact?
Why wouldn't I? If its a fact, its a fact. I don't have that problem. I'd still like to hear your response to my previous question. Even if it did, what does that have to do with the 95% of abortions done for convenience?
Well Gomperts's point is that as pregnancy is riskier than termination you shouldn't force women to go through with a pregnancy. I rather made the converse point in my previous post, that the claim that abortion increases breast cancer risk is a crap argument against abortion.
I couldnt care less about some supposed link between breast cancer and abortion, which is just as sound an argument against it as is yours for it. Using that same axiom, the mortality rate of aborted children is infinitely larger than those of birthed children, thus it is really not fair to abort them. Its the same nonsensical argument. I suppose you agree that all women should have the breast removed at birth, or people infect with HIV should be at the very least contained in concentration camps, if not killed, since the chance of them infecting others is greater if they are allowed in the population among those not infected. I dont see how you can seriously make that argument because all of those are just as valid in comparison to yours.
You may not have noticed, being quite clearly challenged in the comprehension of written English, that I have not at any point advocated abortion as a health measure other than as a reductio ad absurdum argument against the breast cancer claim.
As to Gomperts's argument, given that I do not believe that the foetus has a moral status (particularly at the stage that Gomperts carries out abortions - before 7 weeks gestation) it is a perfectly reasonable position. Since carrying a child to term is more risky than an elective abortion there is no medical reason why a woman should not have an abortion.
Oh, i'm sorry. So you don't think abortion should be given to anyone unless their life is at risk, and that should only be done at a rate of 3 women per 100,000. thanks.
As I said, your comprehension skills could do with some work - none of those things follow from what I've said.
My views on abortion have been presented previously - I do not regard the foetus as having a moral status, certainly not before 26 weeks - so I think abortion should be available on demand, the earlier the better. As for the health implications, it is simply a fact that pregnancy is a greater risk than abortion, and thus an additional argument that women oughtn't to be compelled to carry a pregnancy they don't want.
As to the 3 in 10,000 figure - I'm afraid you seem to have no idea what it means, I'd be inclined to think you don't understand statistics or probability - the figure is derived from the fact that pregnancy has a risk of 1:30,000 (I'm excluding ectopics and indirect mortality here) and abortion has a risk of 1:200,000 - therefore, out of every 100,000 abortions 3 women will live that would have died if they had gone to term - you can't pick these women out before hand and just give them an abortion!
You can't pick them? Really? So how can an abortion be performed under the guise of the pregnancy being a risk to the mothers health? It can't by your logic.
"You can't pick them? Really? So how can an abortion be performed under the guise of the pregnancy being a risk to the mothers health? It can't by your logic."
Leaving aside that I don't advocate abortion as a health measure, it seems you genuinely don't understand probability. By your reasoning no operation should ever be done because we can't pick those people it will definitely work for, and we can't pick those that will definitely get complications.

Q: Java - Split string based on space and single quote but ignore two single quotes I want to split the string using space and single quote. But two single quotes should be ignored.
Input:
name eq 'a''b'

Output should be:
name

eq

a''b

I tried to use
[^\\s\"(?<!')'(?!')]+|\"[^\"]*\"|(?<!')'(?!')[^(?<!')'(?!')]*(?<!')'(?!')"

but it does not work.

A: The following one should suit your needs:
'(?:[^']|'')+'|[^ ]+

Debuggex Demo

Java example:
String input = "foobar foo bar 'foobar' 'foo bar' 'foo''bar'";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("'(?:[^']|'')+'|[^ ]+");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input);
while (matcher.find()) {
    String match = matcher.group();
    System.out.println(match);
}

Ideone Demo

A: Hi the actual regex is
"\\s|(?<!')'(?!')"

It produces output array as follows
[name, eq, , a''b]

A: This can be done without regex too.
String s = "name eq 'a''b'";
String[] split = new String[3];

Scanner in = new Scanner(s);

split[0] = in.next();
split[1] = in.next();

String temp = in.next();
split[2] = temp.substring(1,temp.length() - 1);

//test output
for(String x : split)
    System.out.println(x);

This will print:
name
eq
a''b

If you need a more generic solution you need to provide more details.
Hope this helps.

A: Here is how I would do:
String value = "name eq 'a''b'";
value = value.replaceAll(" '", " ").replaceAll("'$", "");
System.out.println(value);
String[] arr = value.split(" ");

A: You can try with Lookaround
Pattern
(?<!')'(?!')

Sample code:
System.out.println(Arrays.toString("name eq 'a''b'".split("(?<!')'(?!')")));

output:
[name eq , a''b]

Pattern explanation:
  (?<!                     look behind to see if there is not:
    '                        '\''
  )                        end of look-behind
  '                        '\''
  (?!                      look ahead to see if there is not:
    '                        '\''
  )                        end of look-ahead

To split based on space or single quote use
 *(?<!')[ '](?!') *

sample code:
System.out.println(Arrays.toString("name eq 'a''b'".split(" *(?<!')[ '](?!') *")));

output:
[name, eq, a''b]

MSSC recruitment initiative named after Brown family
Community Health, MSSC News
In honor of Val Brown Sr., MD, who died in April at age 98, and in recognition of his family's three generations of physicians serving Wichita, the MSSC Board of Directors is naming its Black physician initiative after the Brown family.
The Brown Family Fund for Black Physician Recruitment will focus on recruiting and retaining more Black physicians in Wichita. MSSC will donate $10,000 to help launch the fund. Others who want to help support the initiative can make a tax-deductible donation to the fund via MSSC.
"The Brown family has been a pillar in our community for more than 100 years," MSSC President E. Jeanne Kroeker, MD, said. "Dr. G.G. Brown joined the MSSC soon after he moved to Wichita in 1908, and Drs. Val Brown, Sr., and Val Brown, Jr., were career-long MSSC members who cared deeply for our community."
The primary focus of the initiative is recruiting and retaining more Black residents and medical students. But the initiative also will reach out to younger students. For example, MSSC recently sent physicians to 17 different USD 259 classrooms to talk about the medical profession.
The initiative is part of an effort to reduce health disparities facing African Americans. Research shows that Black patients, particularly Black men, tend to have better health outcomes when they are seen by Black physicians.
Currently, only about 2.5% of MSSC members are Black. Nationally, only 2% of U.S. doctors are Black men.
The Brown family has a long history of breaking barriers. In addition to G.G. Brown being one of the earliest members of MSSC, Val Brown, Sr., was the first Black physician to have privileges at Wesley Medical Center, and Val Brown, Jr., was one of the first two African Americans to graduate from KUSM-Wichita.
The physicians served many Black patients. At the funeral of Val Brown, Sr., several speakers remarked how Dr. Brown cared for most of the people in attendance, and even delivered many of them.
Val Brown, Jr., told MSSC that his family is proud to be part of this initiative.
