Ian Stewart – 1986 Speech on the Exchange Rate Mechanism
Posted On : August 5, 2019 Published By : admin
Below is the text of the speech made by Ian Stewart, the then Economic Secretary to the Treasury, in the House of Commons on 29 January 1986.
The right hon. Member for Glasgow, Hillhead (Mr. Jenkins) has made, as is his custom, an elegant speech. He was a distinguished President of the European Commission. He has always been an eloquent advocate of the cause of Europeanism.
It is important to put the question of our membership of the exchange rate mechanism of the European monetary system into its proper perspective. It is not a question of our being for or against the development of the European Community. The Government's commitment to constructive membership of the European Community is beyond dispute. The fact that we have remained outside the exchange rate mechanism of the EMS casts no doubt on our European commitment. On the other side of the coin, it is right to point out, too, that, contrary to the assertions from time to time of some of those on the Opposition Benches, membership of the exchange rate mechanism would not lock us into some irrevocable commitment to full economic and monetary union. The truth is more complex, yet more prosaic. The ERM is a fixed, but adjustable, exchange rate system on Bretton Woods lines intended to promote greater economic convergence between its participants, particularly on inflation.
The Government's position on membership has been clear throughout. We would be ready to join the ERM as and when we judge the conditions are right for us to do so.  I recognise that the right hon. Member for Hillhead believes that those conditions are right today. That is his judgment. However, he will recognise that many factors affecting sterling need to be weighed carefully.
The Government have to take account of the fact that, unlike all other ERM currencies except the deutschmark, sterling is a widely held and internationally traded currency. It is, furthermore, a currency subject to different and often opposite strains from those that affect the other currencies currently in the system. We have seen evidence of these conflicting pressures in exchange market movements in recent weeks. The House does not need me to explain that conditions in the exchange markets have been, even by their standards, remarkably turbulent of late.
In recent weeks, the major influence on sterling has been the weakening of the oil price. To some extent, this is a problem of perception. Even before the latest movements in the market, oil accounted for only 5 per cent. or 6 per cent. of our national income and less than 8 per cent. of all our exports. It accounts for only 0·5 per cent. of all our employment and only 5 per cent. of capital investment, despite the massive capital investments required to develop the major fields in the North sea. Those who operate in the markets, as many commentators are increasingly coming to note, often have an exaggerated perception of the importance of oil to the United Kingdom. That is something with which we have to live. It came as no surprise that a fall in the price of oil on the scale we have seen in the past three or four weeks, when the price has fallen by around 30 per cent., should have had some impact on sterling. I would like to think that the markets have already begun to take a more balanced view, but these realities can take time to gain hold.
The other major factor in the exchange markets recently has, of course, been the decline of the dollar and its differential impact on other currencies. Since the Plaza agreement, the yen has appreciated by nearly 19 per cent. against the dollar, the deutschmark by about 16 per cent. and sterling by 22·5 per cent.; so the decline in the value of the dollar has given rise to substantial adjustments between the exchange rates of other currencies.
It is against this background that we must judge the question of membership of the exchange rate mechanism of the EMS. We must recognise in so doing that for sterling to join the ERM would bring about a significant change in the operation of the system itself. At present, the deutschmark plays a dominant and central role. The addition of sterling, another widely held and traded international currency, would undoubtedly introduce an element of bi-polarity into the system with which it has not yet had to cope. It may be that it could do so, but it is a question that must give us pause. We should note that the currencies of the other two major countries in the mechanism—the French franc and Italian lira—are both protected by a variety of exchange controls.
I need hardly say to the House that we have no intention whatsoever of restoring the exchange controls which my right hon. and learned Friend the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary removed in 1979 when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer. Such controls inevitably hinder the development of financial markets. Indeed, it is interesting to note, following a point made by the right hon. Member for Hillhead, that London is one of the  leaders in the ecu market even though the United Kingdom does not participate in the exchange rate mechanism of the EMS.
The question for the United Kingdom is, therefore, in a number of respects rather different from that which other member states have faced. The common element, which is insufficiently understood by many alliance Members, is that for our European partners the exchange rate mechanism is not seen as a soft option to be adopted as an alibi. There is no disputing the view of our partners that the ERM can be a helpful and effective anti-inflationary discipline. Indeed, it has by and large worked successfully for those countries participating, particularly since 1983.
The vital question is not so much membership itself as the resolve with which responsible financial policies are pursued. It is on this point that we must have doubts about the attitude of the right hon. Member for Hillhead and his party. They are very keen to join international organisations. They want us to join the exchange rate mechanism. Indeed, the hon. Member for Stockton, South (Mr. Wrigglesworth) was using language at Prime Minister's Question Time yesterday that suggested they also wanted us to join OPEC.
In spite of that apparent enthusiasm for the exchange rate mechanism, it is clear that they would not be joining it in the same spirit as our other European partners. The other European countries have submitted to the discipline it imposed, and had significant success in reducing their inflation rates. Yet the Social Democratic party has revealed that this is not its intention at all. Its autumn statement published last year — a rare example of precision by a party that usually likes to leave its intentions as vague as possible—explained how it would manage the economy. It showed that the Social Democratic party expected, if its policies were implemented, inflation to rise to 7·5 per cent. in 1987. That makes it clear that the Social Democratic party regards the ERM not as a discipline against inflation but as a cover for its own inflationary public spending plans. As such a cover, of course, it would not work.
This Government may not have joined the exchange rate mechanism, but we have remained firmly committed to the principles of financial discipline which underlie it. We have chosen a different route to success against inflation, but one which has been equally effective. The average rate of inflation during this Parliament has been just over 5 per cent., which compares with an average of over 15 per cent. for the Labour Government of the 1970s. The prospect this year is for continued falls. We expect inflation to be below 4 per cent. in 1986.
This inflation record has been accompanied by a remarkable turnround in our growth rate, especially when compared with that of our European partners. For a decade from 1973 to 1982 we were consistently at the bottom of the European growth league. In 1983 we grew faster than any of our major European partners, we would have done so again in 1984 were it not for Mr. Scargill's strike, and every indication is that in 1985 we shall once again be the fastest growing major European nation.
Mr. Douglas Hogg
My hon. Friend has told us that the Government are not opposed in principle to joining the EMS and that we shall do so when the time is right. Will my hon. Friend tell us what the conjunction of circumstances will be which will suggest to him when the time is right?
Mr. Stewart
I am not going to offer my hon. Friend or the House a check list of circumstances because, as we have seen in recent weeks and days, circumstances of many kinds can change unpredictably and at short notice. The balance of judgment has to be made in the conditions of the time.
Sir Russell Johnston (Inverness, Nairn and Lochaber)
The hon. Gentleman has said that we in the alliance have perhaps misunderstood certain consequences of joining the exchange rate mechanism. Can the hon. Gentleman say succinctly—he has not yet done so—what disadvantages would affect this country if we joined?
Greater fluctuations in the market in relation to sterling, to which I have already alluded, do create difficulties in operating any financial or monetary system. That is a point to which the hon. Gentleman's right hon. Friend the Member for Hillhead drew attention. One has to take these questions into account. There are arguments both ways on this matter and one must take a balanced judgment.
The record of success which this Government have had, without being a member of the ERM amply demonstrates that it is commitment to sound finance and lower inflation which is the key to economic prosperity, rather than the fact of holding a club membership card in the exchange rate mechanism.
The judgment the Government have to make in relation to the exchange rate mechanism is not, as I emphasised at the outset, one of being for or against Europe. Nor is it one of being for or against international co-operation on exchange rates. Our participation in the Plaza agreement along with other major European countries, as well as the United States and Japan, amply demonstrates such cooperation. It is rather whether, bearing in mind the practical problems, membership of the exchange rate mechanism would provide a more effective and safer means of achieving our economic objectives than the strategy the Government have followed for the last six years. Membership of the exchange rate mechanism is not a panacea, nor is it the only option. There are no magic guarantees that it would reduce inflation by itself. Membership would be successful only if monetary and fiscal policies were appropriately firm.
Mr. Beaumont-Dark
I agree with the right hon. Member for Glasgow, Hillhead (Mr. Jenkins) that this is an interesting and important debate. We have talked about whether we should join the ERM or the EMS. However, one of the great problems that we face in this part of the western world is that interest rates are at such high levels — higher than any level in the history of western Europe. America should co-operate and should cease sucking in vast sums of money because it is unwilling to balance its books — there is a $200 billion deficit. Unless we get the co-operation of the United States, whether we join the EMS or any other system, we and Europe as a whole face problems never faced before. We are all pulled down because of the United States' unwillingness to get its own books and ship in the right order.
I do not think I should be drawn into a disquisition on the United States fiscal and monetary policy. I certainly accept the point that the large  imbalances in the domestic economy and trade account of the United States have created conditions which have caused turbulence to the rest of the world.
The United States Administration addressed themselves to these problems more realistically in 1985—the Plaza meeting was evidence of that. The new attitude of Secretary Baker at the annual meeting of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund shows that there has been an important shift in American perception of its domestic economy and the international implications of its policies. However, this does not remove the need for each country to deal with its own financial circumstances according to its own policies.
Mr. John Browne (Winchester)
My hon. Friend has just mentioned that the United States now has a more international perspective on these matters. Does my hon. Friend agree that the reason for this debate is that early in the 1970s the United States broke the gold exchange window and agreed with other western countries to move into an era of floating exchange rates? Membership of the EMS is not the critical issue but the restoration of fixed interest rates based on convertibility of at least one currency—
It cannot be convertibility to gold.
Mr. Browne
It used to be the gold exchange standard. The EMS is founded on a floating base. If we choose a fixed exchange rate—which is much more important—it must be done with at least one currency that can be converted into gold at a price to be agreed. Can my hon. Friend persuade the Americans that this is an urgent problem? Would my hon. Friend urge this factor, given the Americans' new international perspective?
I am not sure that I follow my hon. Friend's analysis and argument. However, the era of floating exchange rates was not a perverse decision taken out of the blue in the 1970s. It was the consequence of increasing instability between a number of major economies under which the old system, under any circumstances, could not be maintained. That is a different cause. Ten years or more later, we are still grappling with the consequences. The major changes in commodity prices —of which oil is the main one—were bound up with this.
The Government have always said that they recognised the advantages that the exchange rate mechanism could offer in the way of providing a framework of financial discipline. It is not the only possible framework, as we have fully demonstrated, but, combined with the appropriate political commitment, it can indeed provide a method of reducing inflation. The considerations which I have discussed this afternoon suggest that, at present, sterling's participation in the mechanism would not, on balance, be of benefit, although it is a question which is kept under continuous review.

BUCKSHOT FACELIFT – ULCER ISLAND
Posted by BloodRock Media | Apr 13, 2017 | Reviews | 0 |
Incredibly heavy and hard to define, Long Island, New York's Buckshot Facelift have been assaulting the ear drums and puzzling the noodles of fans and critics alike since 2004. Drawing from a veritable mish-mash of influences that includes (but is in no way limited to) grindcore, death metal, hardcore, and even doom, this power-violence five-piece cranks and crushes their way through every live and in-studio performance, much to the chagrin of many a misunderstanding music journalist.
But if you sift past the cacophony, the tongue-in-cheek sarcasm, and the intermittent political ponderings, what you come to discover is a band that is genuinely greater than the sum of its parts. Sneakily smart and vehemently sophisticated, Buckshot Facelift have returned with their seventh studio recording, the full-length Ulcer Island; and although this D.I.Y.-style act may not be consciously seeking out the fame and adoration of the metal-loving world, this fifteen track ripper of a release may just garner Buckshot Facelift a whole lot more attention, regardless of whether they really wanted it to or not.
Ulcer Island is brutal, belligerent, and breathtaking. Sometimes grating, sometimes grinding, and always going for the jugular, Buckshot Facelift have brought forth an album that is as intelligent as it is intense. Starting with the hardcore title-track opener, "Ulcer Island", the band introduces you to who they are and where they're from right off the hop, combining punk-style distortion and drumming with grindcore vocals and sensibilities. Other stunners on Ulcer Island such as the thrash-grind mashup "Ascend to Descend", the abbreviated death metal screamer "Sundress Skeletor", the doom-inspired "Dustification (End Times version)" (which also features a clever sample from The Princess Bride), and the sardonically sensational closer, "A Trophy Cup Intoxicant", stick out as my favorite tracks on this phenomenally trenchant album.
Buckshot Facelift's Ulcer Island is officially available on April 14th, 2017, so be sure to wrap your ears and your minds around this paradoxical opus as soon as you're able!

One of the most extensive industrial investments of the year, Simoldes Plasticos in Kvasiny, is already under a roof.
In the future, automotive supplier park of Simoldes Plasticos located in Lipovka near Kvasiny is going to provide employment for over 300 people. Industrial building for the Portuguese manufacturer has been constructed by one of the largest industrial developers on the Czech market-- Panattoni Europe Czech Republic.
The newly built park in Lipovka is one of the largest investments of the year in the Czech Republic. The building is now roofed with the last part of the cladding to be finished, followed by the work on the interiors. The facility will be in total area of 22.000 sq m. Just to give an idea of scope of the project, the roof structure weights approximately 1000 t carried by 176 pillars. Completion is scheduled for early 2016.
The construction of building is worked on by total of 25 companies with approx. 200 people working at the same time. In total, the facility will be riddled with cables up to 20 km and 1 km of piping.
In the first quarter of next year, the newly constructed Simoldes park is going to initiate production of automotive components, which has been already supplied to Volkswagen Group, including Skoda branch by the Simoldes Plasticos.

Yangsanjab, Príncep Öndür, va ser un príncep mongol de la Bandera Ala Esquerra Mitjana Khorchin al sud-est de Mongòlia. Va ser una de les principals figures de la resistència en contra de la colonització xinesa de Mongòlia. A diferència de Gada Meiren, és rarament posat en relleu, probablement perquè era de la classe dominant i per tant incapacitat pel marc marxista de la lluita de classes.

Rerefons
Yangsanjab va néixer a la casa del príncep hereditari Öndür, que hi era a una categoria de segon lloc (doroi giyūn wang) als rangs reials manxú-mongols. Pertanyia al clan Borjigin i era descendent de Jöchi Khasar, el germà menor de Genguis Khan. El descendent de Jöchi Khasar, Jayisang, contribuí a la pujada dels manxús a la Dinastia Qing (1636–1912) i es va barrejar amb els Aisin Gioro de la família imperial. Els descendents de Jayisang van governar la Bandera Ala Esquerra Khorchin (comunament anomenada Bandera Darkhan; ara Bandera Ala Esquerra Mitjana Khorchin, Ciutat Tongliao, Mongòlia Interior) de la Lliga Jirim. Els jasagh, o el cap de la bandera era ocupat pel príncep Darkhan, els descendents de l'últim fill de Jayisang. La Casa del príncep Öndür va ser una de les famílies de l'altra branca fundada pels fills de Jayisang.

Com la Lliga Jirim era propera a la Xina, hi va estar sotmesa a una enorme pressió per part de la població de la Xina. Els immigrants xinesos van arribar sota l'administració de les prefectures de la Xina, i la bandera mongola ràpidament es reduí. La bandera es va fer en massa petit per als mongols per mantenir el pasturatge nòmada. Des del  en endavant, es van veure obligats a desplaçar-se cap al nord o es van establir en pobles agrícoles. En els seus últims anys, l'Imperi Manxú promogué la colonització xinesa de Mongòlia per augmentar els ingressos fiscals i construir una defensa fronterera. La República de la Xina, que va anul·lar l'Imperi Manxú, va impulsar més encara la colonització xinesa. El 1920, la major part de la Bandera Darkhan era controlat pels xinesos.

Activitat
Ell va succeir al seu pare Nayangerel com a Príncep Öndür en el tardà 1920, però havia guanyat popularitat entre els mongols en la bandera, fins i tot abans de la successió. Es va quedar un any a Beijing durant uns sis mesos, començant en el 1915, i es va comprometre en diverses activitats polítiques per protegir els drets dels mongols. A més, el príncep Öndür va esdevenir el pilar únic entre els mongols, ja que en aquest moment, les altres cases principesques poderoses, els prínceps Darkhan i Jorightu, havien deixat la bandera pel Mukden.

Yangsanjab era un deixeble del Janggiya Khutughtu, el rang més alt de lama al sud de Mongòlia. Usant la connexió del Budisme Tibetà, es va fer proper del 9è Lama Panchen. En el 1926, Yangsanjab i el Príncep Darkhan convidaren el Lama Panchen a la Bandera Darkhan. El lama va romandre en la bandera durant gairebé un any a partir de 1927. Ell va ser amfitrió de la cerimònia del Lama, a la qual els prínceps mongols van arribar de tot arreu de Mongòlia, i va tenir èxit en l'augment de la seva presència.

The earliest known use of cryptography is found in non-standard hieroglyphs carved into the wall of a tomb from the Old Kingdom of Egypt circa 1900 BCE. These are not thought to be serious attempts at secret communications, however, but rather to have been attempts at mystery, intrigue, or even amusement for literate onlookers. These are examples of still other uses of cryptography, or of something that looks (impressively if misleadingly) like it. Some clay tablets from Mesopotamia somewhat later are clearly meant to protect information — one dated near 1500 BCE was found to encrypt a craftsman's recipe for pottery glaze, presumably commercially valuable. Later still, Hebrew scholars made use of simple monoalphabetic substitution ciphers (such as the Atbash cipher) beginning perhaps around 500 to 600 BCE. In India around 400 BCE to 200 CE, Mlecchita vikalpa or the art of understanding writing in cypher, and the writing of words in a peculiar way was documented in the Kama Sutra for the purpose of communication between lovers. This was also likely a simple substitution cipher. Parts of the Egyptian demotic Greek Magical Papyri were written in a cypher script.
It's easy to see that this kind of cipher provides no real security, but it's a simple and fun illustration of the general idea behind cryptography.
Nowadays when we talk about cryptography, we usually talk about it in the context of technology. How is personal and financial information safely transmitted (known as protecting data in transit) on the Web, say, when we make a purchase or look at our bank accounts? How can data safely be stored(known as protecting data at rest) so that someone couldn't just open up a computer, pop out the hard drive, and have a field day with the information on it?
In cybersecurity, there are a number of things we are concerned with when it comes to data. These include confidentiality, integrity, availability, and non-repudiation.
Confidentiality means that our data cannot be accessed/read by unauthorized users.
Integrity means that our data gets to us 100% intact, and has not been modified, whether by a malicious actor, data loss, or otherwise.
Availability means that our data is accessible when needed.
Non-repudiation means that if Bob sends some data to Mary, he should not be able to claim later on that he was not, in fact, the sender of that information. In other words, there is some way to determine that no one other than Bob could have sent the data.
I will expand on each of these below. All code examples are adapted from Jesus Castello's awesome post on SitePoint, Exploring Cryptography Fundamentals in Ruby, as well as official Ruby documentation. Also keep in mind that these examples are meant to illustrate the concepts, not to provide best practices for data security.
Okay, before we dive into this: what exactly do we mean by 'encryption'? Encryption and decryption are typically used to mean enciphering and deciphering, respectively; to put it simply, encrypting a message means making it unreadable to unauthorized parties using a cipher (the specific method for doing so). Decrypting the message means reversing the process and making the data readable once more.
In order to properly encrypt and decrypt our data, we need both the data and a key (which determines the output of our cipher).
Notice that our data_to_encrypt variable, which was initially set to 'now you can read me!', is now a bunch of unreadable garbage. Let's reverse the process, using the key we initially saved in the key variable.
As we can see, using the same key we set for encryption, we get back our original string.
The problem with symmetric encryption is this: What if I need to send data securely in a hostile environment, such as the Internet? If the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt data, then I would first need to send you the decryption key to establish a secure connection. But that means I'm sending the key over an insecure connection to start with, meaning the key can be intercepted and used by a third party! How do we get around this? Enter asymmetric encryption.
I've never really studied the mathematics of asymmetric encryption, and it would be beyond the scope of this blog post anyway, but I can give you a general idea. To use an asymmetric cipher, you need to generate two keys which are mathematically related. One key is your private key, which only youshould have access to, and your public key, which (as its name suggests) can be shared publicly with anyone.
So, you request a secure connection to a server, the server sends its public key, the client generates a key for a symmetric cipher and encrypts it with the server's public key, the server decrypts the message containing the symmetric key using its private key, and now that both parties have the symmetric key, a secure connection can be established using symmetric encryption.
But wait! Now we have another problem. How do I know that the server's public key is legitimate, i.e. belongs to that server!? In general, there are a couple of ways to deal with this issue, but the most common method (and the one used on the web) is by using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). In the case of websites, there is a Certificate Authority that has a directory of all websites to which it has issued certificates, as well as their public keys. When you connect to a website, its public key is first verified with the Certificate Authority.
Using #public_decrypt, we were able to get back the original message using NOT the private key which with which we originally encrypted the message, but its related public key. The same works in reverse.
A hashing function, unlike symmetric/asymmetric encryption, is a one-way function. You can create a hash from some data, but there is no way to actually reverse the process. As such, it is not a useful way to store data, but it is a useful way to verify the integrity of some data.
A hashing function takes some data as its input and and outputs a seemingly random (but not at all) string which will always be the same length. An ideal hashing function creates unique values for different inputs. The exact same input will always produce the exact same hash—which is why we can use it to verify data integrity.
Let's use a new string this time, run it through a hashing function, and store that hash in a variable.
First, let's hash our string again and compare that digest to the one we saved in the digest variable.
As we can see, as long as the data remains the same, the digests will still match. Now let's change the data juuust a bit and compare the digests. Then, we'll change the data back to exactly what it was originally, and compare the digests once more.
Digital signatures are great for both integrity and non-repudiation. A digital signature is a combination of hashing and asymmetric encryption. That is to say, a message is first hashed, and that hash is encrypted with the sender's private key. This constitutes the signature, which is sent along with the message.
The recipient uses the sender's public key to extract the hash from the signature, and the message is then hashed to compare against the extracted hash. If the you know for sure that the public key belongs to the sender, and the public key decryption is successful, then you can be assured that the message actually came from the sender. If the extracted hash matches the computed hash for the message, you can be assured of the message's integrity.
Bear in mind that a digital signature does not necessarily make the message confidential; it is absolutely possible to sign a plaintext message. Digital signatures will work with encrypted messages, but the encryption of the message itself must be performed separately.


The knight's sword was not just a cutting weapon. A well-aimed thrust delivered with the impulsion of a moving horse was a deadly combat technique. It was also an effective attack from the ground.
The player on the left is using an imbrocatta. Note the crossed hands.
There are four basic types of thrust, defined by the orientation of the sword hand. Those of you who practise rapier fencing will be familiar with these positions as prima, seconda, terza and quarta.
1. Imbrocatta: delivered with the true edge of the sword (knuckle side) upwards, and the palm facing outward (prima). This is a descending thrust, with the hand high and the sword point lower. When using the sword in two hands, the wrists will cross. If the imbrocatta is difficult to acheive without contorting your body you can adjust your hand on the sword slightly so your thumb comes underneath.
2. Dritta: delivered at shoulder height with the palm down (seconda), this thrust comes from the right side of the body if you are holding the sword right-handed, hence the name, which means 'right'. With two hands on the sword the pommel hand will be underneath the forearm of the sword hand.
3. Stocatta: an ascending thrust, delivered with the true-edge of the sword down (terza). The hand is low and the sword tip higher. This thrust can also be delivered slightly to either side (terza-seconda or terza-quarta).
4. Roversa: coming from the opposite ('reverse') side of the body, this thrust is delivered palm up (quarta). Like the dritta, this thrust is at shoulder height with the sword parallel to the ground.
Your thrust should be stable and direct. If the point wavers as it travels it will decrease the speed and power of the thrust, so practise making your sword travel on as straight a line as possible.
Proper timing of hand and foot is important. Extend your arms fully into position before stepping into the thrust. Not only does this ensure your safety by first putting your sword between you and your opponent, it creates the maximum power for your strike.
Practise slowly at first, ensuring that your order of movement is smooth and natural and you can easily adjust your hands as you move through various thrusts. Only speed up once you can put it all together well, and slow down again if you find your form starts to fall apart.

Q: how to set x-auth-token in header angular 5 I am new to angular , I have a api to create session wherein response I am getting sessionId , so I am storing that in session storage :
sessionStorage.setItem('token',res["sId"]);

then after this I am calling another api where i want to set same token,so I am doing like this :
public opt={
  headers: new HttpHeaders().set('x-auth-token', JSON.stringify(sessionStorage.getItem('token')))
}

api call :
Initialcheck(reqpara){
  return this.http.post(this.check1_url,reqpara,this.opt )
}

But I am facing one problem , in api call it is taking previous token not the current one.Please help me out.

A: Probably because the instance of HttpHeader is immutable you can't set properly the headers. Try to do it in this way:
let headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers = headers.set('x-auth-token',JSON.stringify(sessionStorage.getItem('token'));
opt.headers = headers;

or
const headers = new HttpHeaders({'x-auth-token':JSON.stringify(sessionStorage.getItem('token')});
opt.headers = headers;

Conservation Biology of Birds and their Habitats Research Group
Scientific Research in Conservation Biology in Spain Scientific Research in Ecology and Conservation Biology
Recognized for the quality of its multidisciplinary approach to the biology of endangered bird populations, its practical significance in the conservation field, and its contribution to forming a pool of experts in Spain and Latin America.
Based at Doñana Biological Station (Spanish National Research Council), the group was founded in the 1980s to develop knowledge and a solid scientific base regarding the vast diversity of Spanish bird species and their habitats, and to form a pool of experts able to carry forward these investigative labours. Its brief, therefore, is to generate quality scientific information directly applicable to Biodiversity Conservation, while making the results accessible to policy makers and the public at large. The groups work has led to Management and Conservation Plans being set up for numerous endangered species under the Ministry of Environment and the Conservation Departments of various Spanish regions. The group's research activity has focused on endangered bird species and their ecosystems, initially in the Mediterranean and the Iberian Peninsula, although their scientific work has embraced other ecosystems in such contrasting climes as the Patagonian deserts of Argentina, the coastal deserts of Baja California, the continental steppes of Kazakhstan or the sub-Saharan plains of Mauritania. Endangered raptor species have been an ever present concern. Topics under investigation have included the impact of power lines on raptor populations, the poisoning of scavenging birds, the effects of agricultural policies on steppe-land birds, the genetic consequences of population decline and fragmentation, the problems generated by biological invasions, the interactions between sea birds and the fishing industry or, more recently, the impact of the Aznalcóllar mine spill on bird colonies in and around Doñana National Park. The species studied include some of the most imperilled in Europe. Among them, the lammergeier and the Spanish imperial eagle, which was proposed as a species new to science by group leader F. Hiraldo in the mid 1970s. The group's methods and techniques have consistently marked the state of the art, and have delivered tangible advances in dispersal theory, the genetics of small populations and the limiting factors for endangered raptor populations.

Bachelor's degree program in Sciences for Cultural Heritage. Tourism, Art, Archaeology
a.y. 2022/23
The aim of the course is to provide students with a strong grounding in the humanities, with a particular focus on history and the development of artistic, technical and scientific competences in the fields pertaining to cultural heritage, specifically archaeology, the historical-artistic ambit and cultural tourism.
Considerable importance is granted to the knowledge of, and ability to master, all the legal, economic and institutional aspects relating to the administration, management and enhancement of cultural heritage. Students are also provided with a solid grounding in artistic techniques, and an ability to perform competently when dealing with the conservation, restoration and positive exploitation of the cultural patrimony.
A further objective of the degree course is to enable students to develop and consolidate a strong sense of critical awareness and cultural identity through close study of the relevant territory and its heritage using the most suitable paper or electronic bibliographic tools. The direct involvement of the students in problems concerning the safeguard and enhancement of the artistic, architectural, archaeological and environmental patrimony of Italy, and in particular of the southern regions, means that teaching often takes place outside the classroom, and direct contact with monuments, works of art and museum settings is strongly favoured. The university workshops, the excavation sites and the apprenticeships carried out with organizations and institutions responsible for the safeguard of cultural heritage (offices and workshops of the superintendence, museum structures, companies, associations, local bodies, etc.) further enhance this practical approach.
Of the three curricula, Tourism specifically offers students the opportunity to acquire competences in the field of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, enabling them to design and manage valorisation projects through the use of new technologies. The course aims to produce highly qualified operators in the field of the communication and promotion of cultural tourism.
Across all three curricula, students are also expected to acquire a grounded knowledge of one or two European languages, besides Italian, and of the main computer programs employed when cataloguing and valorising the cultural patrimony. A good knowledge of the new technologies applied to the field of communication, museum design, marketing, diagnostics and preservation of cultural heritage is also required.
The course lays the training foundations for future curators, functionaries, art historians, archaeologists, tourist guides, tour leaders and persons able to plan and design touristic and cultural itineraries. Graduates will also possess a grounded knowledge of all the aspects which pertain to the designing, planning and organizing of exhibitions and artistic or cultural events, both for state and local cultural heritage administrations, and for companies, consortiums, firms, cooperatives and associations which look after the management, safeguard, preservation and positive exploitation of the cultural patrimony through activities such as cataloguing, publishing, restoring or organizing cultural tourism activities etc.
Upon completion of their undergraduate studies, and in order to obtain the further academic qualifications required to pursue, for example, a managerial career in the field of cultural heritage administration, students can enrol for the interclass, two-year second cycle degree in archaeology and history of art or for specialized master degrees. Following their second cycle degree, students can then gain access to the two schools of specialization in Archaeology and in History of Art, where entry is based on merit and only a restricted number of places are available.
All these postgraduate study alternatives are part of the Suor Orsola Benincasa educational offer.

Yesterday we wrote about some marketing tactics Microsoft was looking to explore in their journey to polish their brand image. One of those tactics mentioned was embracing and cultivating a Freemium Innovation pattern. According to Microsoft's Chief Marketing Officer, Chris Capossela, adopting the Freemium Innovation spirit means offering innovation and functionality that coincides with flexible tiers of pricing. Microsoft is shifting their blind flat-rate licensing approach when it comes to consumers these days. Instead of paying for bundled functionality and services users may never use, many of Microsoft's services are now offering free previews.
As much as this is news is great for consumers, we have to realize that much of Microsoft's money is made in enterprise. Kirk and his team also have to address how Freemium Innovation affects their much larger enterprise install base. As slow as industry appears to move at times, consumers and IT pros move much faster. Having a Freemium model in place for customers would naturally invite "innovative" ways for IT Pros to engage with Office 365.
Kirk addresses these concerns as well, "In the professional world, we've approached things differently. These users require more than simple apps: Organizations need an integrated product suite. They need security and reliability. And most of all, they need to be able to get things done, wherever they are".
Kirk and the office team are looking forward to the changing landscape of technology. He and the Office team see this as their showroom for Office. With the likes of the Samsung and Dell agreements, it is apparent that the Office team is much better prepared to execute on Freemium Innovation.
The question remains, will the Windows team be as successful with Windows 10 this fall?

Q: React: TypeError: this.props.update is not a function Let me begin by saying that I'm very new to programming as a whole so please bare with me if i ask stupid questions.
Basically, I'm trying to add a date picker to a search application in react, I have the UI there, and I can pre-set a date range in the code. However I want the user to be able to select a start and end date for the search results.
I know my code is incomplete and I know where I am going wrong, but I just don't know how to 'fix' it.
Datepicker:
import React from "react";
import "date-fns";

import { Paper } from "@material-ui/core";

import DateFnsUtils from "@date-io/date-fns";
import {
  MuiPickersUtilsProvider,
  KeyboardDatePicker,
} from "@material-ui/pickers";

class DatePickerWidget extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Paper id="date-picker-widget" elevation={8}>
        <Paper id="date-filters" elevation={8}>
          <MuiPickersUtilsProvider utils={DateFnsUtils}>
            <KeyboardDatePicker
              margin="normal"
              id="date-picker-dialog"
              label="Start Date"
              format="yyyy/MM/dd"
              value={this.props.startDate}
              maxDate={this.props.endDate}
              onChange={(date) => this.props.update({ startDate: date })}
              KeyboardButtonProps={{
                "aria-label": "change start date",
              }}
            />
            <KeyboardDatePicker
              margin="normal"
              id="date-picker-dialog"
              label="End Date"
              format="yyyy/MM/dd"
              value={this.props.endDate}
              minDate={this.props.startDate}
              onChange={(date) => this.props.update({ endDate: date })}
              KeyboardButtonProps={{
                "aria-label": "change end date",
              }}
            />
          </MuiPickersUtilsProvider>
        </Paper>
      </Paper>
    );
  }
}

export default DatePickerWidget;

Search box where the date picker is displayed:
    import React from "react";

import { TextField, Button, Typography } from "@material-ui/core";

import "./SearchBox.css"
import DatePickerWidget from "./DatePickerWidget"

class SearchBox extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { searchTerm: "", results: "" };

    this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);
    this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
    this.validateSearch = this.validateSearch.bind(this);
    this.clear = this.clear.bind(this);

  }

  componentDidMount() {
    this.setState({ searchTerm: this.props.searchTerm });
  }
  componentDidUpdate(prevProps) {
    if (prevProps.searchTerm !== this.props.searchTerm)
      this.setState({ searchTerm: this.props.searchTerm });
  }

  handleChange(event) {
    this.setState({ [event.target.name]: event.target.value });
  }

  handleSubmit(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    this.props.update({ searchTerm: this.state.searchTerm });
    this.setState({ results: this.state.searchTerm });
  }

  validateSearch() {
    return this.state.searchTerm !== "";
  }

  clear() {
    this.setState({ searchTerm: "", results: "" });
    this.props.update({ searchTerm: "" });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <React.Fragment>
        <form id="search-form" onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
          <Button
            style={{ width: "40%" }}
            variant="outlined"
            color="primary"
            onClick={this.clear}
            disabled={this.state.results === ""}
          >
            Clear
          </Button>
          <TextField
            style={{ flexBasis: "100%" }}
            variant="outlined"
            label="Search Term"
            type="search"
            name="searchTerm"
            value={this.state.searchTerm}
            onChange={this.handleChange}
          />
          <Button
            style={{ width: "40%" }}
            variant="contained"
            color="primary"
            disabled={!this.validateSearch()}
            type="submit"
          >
            Search
          </Button>

          <DatePickerWidget startDate="2020/09/01" endDate="2020/09/30"/>
        </form>

        {this.state.results && (
          <Typography align="center" variant="body1">
            Displaying results for: {this.state.results}
          </Typography>
        )}
      </React.Fragment>
    );
  }
}

export default SearchBox;

The error I'm getting when I change the dates on the interface:
TypeError: this.props.update is not a function
          format="yyyy/MM/dd"
          value={this.props.startDate}
          maxDate={this.props.endDate}
        > onChange={(date) => this.props.update({ startDate: date })}
          KeyboardButtonProps={{
            "aria-label": "change start date",

I'm fairly certain the code is fine, I'm just not adding something to the searchbox which enables the user to update the date range.
I should also mention that I know this won't make any difference to what the search results return yet. Getting that functionality working is my next challenge.
Thanks in advance!
*Edit: I forgot to mention that I didn't write all of this code. I've been tasked to learn how to add this little feature in as an introduction to programming as a whole.
**Edit: Can anybody show me a fix for this? Like I say I'm very new to this and I don't fully understand everything yet.

A:
They accept arbitrary inputs (called "props") and return React elements describing what should appear on the screen. - see here

"props" is a channel to transport user's input into your component. e.g.
<DatePickerWidget startDate="2020/09/01" endDate="2020/09/30"/>

In your DatePickerWidget component, you can read the user's input "2020/09/01" by this.props.startDate.
If you'd like to read this.props.update as a function from your DatePickerWidget, then you need to input a function when you use it. Just like
<DatePickerWidget startDate="2020/09/01" endDate="2020/09/30"/ update=<your_update_handler>>

I guess you want to pass the SearchBox's update function to DatePickerWidget, so you could do this
<DatePickerWidget startDate="2020/09/01" endDate="2020/09/30"/ update=this.props.update>

A: There is not function called update on the props object. Either you can define a function called update in the parent component of the components you want to use the this.props.update on. And then pass it down to the child components like so:

<SearchBox update={this.props.update}/>

But what you are probably looking for is to update the state of the SearchBox. state can be changed from within the component, whereas props cannot be changed directly, only by making a change in the parent component.

A: In SearchBar
import React from "react";

import { TextField, Button, Typography } from "@material-ui/core";

import "./SearchBox.css"
import DatePickerWidget from "./DatePickerWidget"

class SearchBox extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { searchTerm: "", results: "" };

    this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);
    this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
    this.validateSearch = this.validateSearch.bind(this);
    this.clear = this.clear.bind(this);

  }

  componentDidMount() {
    this.setState({ searchTerm: this.props.searchTerm });
  }
  componentDidUpdate(prevProps) {
    if (prevProps.searchTerm !== this.props.searchTerm)
      this.setState({ searchTerm: this.props.searchTerm });
  }

  handleChange(event) {
    this.setState({ [event.target.name]: event.target.value });
  }

  handleSubmit(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    this.props.update({ searchTerm: this.state.searchTerm });
    this.setState({ results: this.state.searchTerm });
  }

  validateSearch() {
    return this.state.searchTerm !== "";
  }

  clear() {
    this.setState({ searchTerm: "", results: "" });
    this.props.update({ searchTerm: "" });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <React.Fragment>
        <form id="search-form" onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
          <Button
            style={{ width: "40%" }}
            variant="outlined"
            color="primary"
            onClick={this.clear}
            disabled={this.state.results === ""}
          >
            Clear
          </Button>
          <TextField
            style={{ flexBasis: "100%" }}
            variant="outlined"
            label="Search Term"
            type="search"
            name="searchTerm"
            value={this.state.searchTerm}
            onChange={this.handleChange}
          />
          <Button

            type="submit"
          >
            Search
          </Button>

          <DatePickerWidget startDate="2020/09/01" endDate="2020/09/30" update={() => console.log('props passed')}/>
        </form>

        {this.state.results && (
          <Typography align="center" variant="body1">
            Displaying results for: {this.state.results}
          </Typography>
        )}
      </React.Fragment>
    );

Q: Float.parseFloat throwing numberformat exception while Float.valueOf working fine I am passing 3.5 value to glb_value
         float sendValueFloat = Float.valueOf(glb_value);

above is working fine
         float sendValueFloat = Float.parseFloat(glb_value);

but above is throwing numberformat exception
can anybody explain me why

A: Here is the implementation of Float.valueOf(String) in Java 8:
public static Float valueOf(String s) throws NumberFormatException {
    return new Float(parseFloat(s));
}

As you can see, valueOf calls parseFloat to parse the string argument.  It is not possible that valueOf works and parseFloat doesn't ... if you are passing the same string to each one.
Therefore you must be passing different strings.  Take a look at your evidence again.
If this doesn't help, then run your application with a debugger, set a breakpoint and single-step through the parseFloat call to see why it is failing.

A: parseFloat() method(https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Float.html#parseFloat(java.lang.String)) :-

Returns a new float initialized to the value represented by the
  specified String, as performed by the valueOf method of class Float.
Returns: the float value represented by the string argument.

parse method takes string as arguement and convert it into Float object and returns it.
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Float.html#valueOf(float)
valueOf(float f) and valueOf(String s):-
Whereas valueOf is used to convert primitive datatype float or string arguement to wrapper class Float. It takes float/string as input and returns Float class object.
ParseFloat(String s) is equal to valueOf(String s) both returns Float object taking string as input. Only difference is valueOf() method has two overloaded method, one takes float and another takes String. First is used to convert primitive datatype to wrapper class while another is equal to valueOf(String s)

A: there is no error in what you want to do. I think you must debug your glb_value before sending to both of these functions.
look at below I tested what you want to do and everything is ok:
ideOne
the only different between these two is Float.parseFloat() returns a primitive float while the other one returns an object from Float class.

A: I find this impossible as both function use FloatingDecimal.parseFloat(s);
I suggest you look into stack trace and dump of the input value as bytes. Perhaps you encounter problem with encoding or the value you think you parse is not the one you think.
These are the two functions you mention:
//1:
public static float parseFloat(String s) throws NumberFormatException {
    return FloatingDecimal.parseFloat(s);
}
//2:
public static Float valueOf(String s) throws NumberFormatException {
    return new Float(parseFloat(s));
}

The first one calls directly: FloatingDecimal.parseFloat(s);
The second one has call { new Float(parseFloat(s)); };
public Float(float value) {
    this.value = value;
}

public static float parseFloat(String s) throws NumberFormatException {
    return FloatingDecimal.parseFloat(s);
}

Both functions end-up calling the same FloatingDecimal.parseFloat(s);

Q: Spring MVC JSP JSTL exit for each loop with boolean I have 2 models being used in jsp:
<c:forEach items="${ch}" var="contractHeader">
    Display data ...

    Display TD

    <c:forEach items="${ce}" var="contractEntitlement">
        <c:if test="${contractHeader.id ==  contractEntitlement.chId}" >
        Display TR
        </c:if>
    </c:forEach>
</c:forEach>

Based from this, it will only show the records if id from contractHeader is equal to chid from contractEntitlement.  This works but the problem is if there is no records for contractEntitlement the TD still shows with empty table.
I want to add a extra condition for TD using boolean to do something like:
boolean test = false;
<c:forEach items="${ce}" var="contractEntitlement">

    <c:if test="${contractHeader.id ==  contractEntitlement.chId}" >
        test = true;
        exit loop;
    </c:if>
</c:foreach>

    if (test)

       Show TD

       Use exisiitng code to loop thru each records

Output is, if there are no records dont create the table at all,  Any help is appreciated.

A: First of all, I think the TR should be outside of TD. You have TD outside of TR, which is wrong. Other than that, my attempt for a workaround would be to try to bring TD inside if statement? like this:
<forEach ....>

<c:forEach items="${ce}" var="contractEntitlement">
    <c:if test="${contractHeader.id ==  contractEntitlement.chId}" >
    Display TR
    Display TD .... END OF DISPLAY TD
    Display TR, end of
    </c:if>
</c:forEach>

</forEach ...>

Edit:
Or if you want to keep your table structure as is, then you can try to use CSS to hide empty cells/columns.
Give your table a class like this:
table class="myTable"

Then, use this CSS inside  ...

Play around like this and I am sure you will be able to hide TD...
Edit 2:
Upon reading further comments by the OP, the OP should try to bring the whole table creation thing inside if statement. When if statement is true, only then a new table will be created. It would look something like this:
<forEach ....>
<c:forEach items="${ce}" var="contractEntitlement">
    <c:if test="${contractHeader.id ==  contractEntitlement.chId}" >

    Display TR
    Display TD .... END OF DISPLAY TD
    Display TR, end of

    </c:if>
</c:forEach>
</forEach ...>

Franklin, Gringer & Cohen, PC Gets Dismissal of Overtime & Wage Claims
October 27, 2015 October 30, 2015 Franklin, Gringer, Cohen PC
Franklin, Gringer & Cohen, P.C. has successfully obtained dismissal of federal and state overtime and minimum wage claims.
One of our clients was recently served with a lawsuit by one of its salespeople who was asserting violation of the overtime and minimum wage provisions of the Fair Labor and Standards Act ("FLSA") and New York Labor Law ("NY Labor Law"). It was our position that the salesperson was not entitled to overtime or minimum wages since he was an "outside salesperson" who was exempt from the requirements of the FLSA and Labor Law. This was the basis of our motion to dismiss this lawsuit.
To give some history, the salesperson's function was to sell jewelry at our clients' customers' places of business in three territories that were outside New York State. The salesperson did not work out of our clients' New York office. He performed some functions out of his home office that were incidental to his duties as a salesperson, but 50% of the time he was making jewelry sales away from his home, away from our clients' New York headquarters and at the customers' places of business.
The overtime and minimum wage provisions of the FLSA and Labor Law do not apply to an "outside salesperson." As defined by the FLSA, an outside salesperson "shall mean any employee: (1) [w]hose primary duty is: (i) making sales… and (2) who is customarily and regularly engaged away from the employer's place or places of business in performing such primary duty." The Labor Law's definition of an "outside salesperson" is similar to the FLSA definition and is treated the same way.
Based upon the allegations of the salesperson's lawsuit against our clients, it was clear that he was an "outside salesperson" who was exempt from the overtime and minimum wage provisions of the FLSA and Labor Law. The salesperson only made sales at the customers' places of business, he did not work out of our clients' New York office and the activities that he performed out of his home office were activities that were incidental to his salesperson duties, such as making travel itineraries, completing sales reports and mailing out brochures and catalogs to our clients' customers.
In dismissing the overtime and minimum wage claims against our clients, the Court held that since "Plaintiff's own allegations … plainly and unmistakably establish that he qualified as an exempt outside salesperson under both the FLSA and NY Labor Law…his claims under those statutes must be and are dismissed."
This was a successful dismissal of claims that should have never been brought against our clients. The dismissal was also obtained very early on in the litigation, which avoided the costs and expenses that are affiliated with these types of lawsuits.

There has been ongoing debate about what information to include in your LinkedIn profile ever since the platform launched. If you're job searching, here's my take on it.
If you want to impress recruiters so they will contact you for an interview, you're going to make your resume as good as it can possibly be, right? Yes, you can also impress them with your communication skills, what you write in the body of the email, your attention to detail during the application stage, and many other ways. All those things contribute to the first impression that the recruiter forms about you.
But you have to have an excellent resume as well - one that gives them all the information they want including your career path for the last 10-20 years, your accountability in each position, and your most impressive achievements. If you don't give them the info they're looking for, you won't impress them. It doesn't get much simpler than that.
So what's different about your LinkedIn profile?
Say you post something on LinkedIn, comment on someone else's post, or "like" something you see - and it catches the attention of a recruiter. They then click on your name and go to your profile. Assuming you have no previous contact or relationship with that person, this is your first chance to impress them. They have never seen your resume and don't even know who you are. This is your big chance - something on your profile must impress them so they'll connect with you or send you a message.
So what information could you have on your LinkedIn profile that will impress them? It's obvious - the same information you have on your resume!
If it makes sense that a recruiter needs a clear picture of your career path, accountability, and accomplishments on your resume in order to decide whether you'd be a great candidate, then it also makes sense that they need to see the same thing on your profile in order to reach the same conclusion. After all, if there's something impressive enough about you to make them think, "Hmm, this person looks like a perfect fit for this great new opportunity I have" - why wouldn't you want that on both your resume AND your profile? What are you saving it for?
So my recommendation - if you're job searching - is to have basically the same information on your LinkedIn profile as you do on your resume. It doesn't have to be exactly the same word-for-word (although it can be - why not?), but the main information from your resume should also appear on your profile. If there's confidential information on your resume, leave it off your profile. Or if there's some other reason you don't want the same information publicly available on your profile, leave it off. But essentially it should be the same in terms of headline, summary, work history, and education.
Remember, some recruiters will view your profile after already reading your resume, but others will stumble upon your profile having never seen your resume. If you want to impress them, make sure the most compelling aspects of your background are in both places.

John Allgood
John is the one who actually knows in which key each song is supposed to be played and tells us when one or more of us are playing in different keys. Apparently, this is an important component of playing a song as a band. Who knew? Without him, the band would be playing much less occasionally and to far fewer...and tone deaf...people.
Guitar, Keyboard, Bass, Mandolin & Arranger
John is the freak musician of the band. What he lacks in preparation, he makes up for with bewildering skill and talent. No matter what instrument John is playing, that instrument will no doubt be the best sounding instrument for that song. Needless to say, to the more prepared and far less skilled members of the band, this is at once indispensable and extremely annoying.
Keyboards, Guitar, Bass, Drums & Wires
Barry Stelboum
In contrast to John, Barry tries to make up for his lack of skill with extensive preparation. Despite counting past four being a challenge to him, Barry is the primary drummer of the band. Good thing we play rock and roll and four is as high as he needs to go to keep the songs chugging forward at a steady tempo. He's also the guy who books the band, edits the videos, designs the artwork and created this website, which is probably why they keep him around.
Drums, Bass, Guitar & Mad Executive Function Skills
Mark Vincent
When you ask Mark what chord he's playing, he'll show you where his fingers are on the neck and say "this one." But it's always, well, almost always, the right one. Mark works so hard on his preparation that when it's "game time" all his effort allows his playing to appear so effortless. He's also far and away the best roadie in the band and for that we love him.
Guitar, Bass, Drums & Self-Deprecation
