Job interviews aren't much fun. Quite frankly – they're stressful. You're under the microscope and there's tremendous pressure to make the best possible impression in a short period of time.
The good news is there are strategies you can use to reduce the stress and improve your chances.
Remember - It's just a conversation. Sure, the people you are meeting with are judging you and they're going to throw some curve balls your way, but in the end, an interview is just as much about demonstrating you can work together as the technical skills you bring. Do your best to remember that you're just having a conversation with the person seated across from you. You're both trying to find common ground. Often the interviewer is looking for reasons to hire you – being easy to get along with helps.
Do your research. The more you know, the more you'll be prepared to talk about. Learn what's going on at the company and about their products and services by looking at the company's web page and searching online. Be prepared for the question, "What do you know about our company?" Likewise, if you receive an agenda ahead of time , check out your interviewers' LinkedIn profiles – you should be able to come up with some great discussion material (example: "I see you left General Motors to come work here. There must have been something interesting about this company, what drove your decision?").
It's okay to bring notes. Most interviewers won't mind if you have a page of notes to job your memory during the interview, so long as it's not a crutch. Prepare short, easy-to-read, bulleted discussion points so that you can glance quickly at your notes without having to study them. Notes can project an impression of preparedness.
Prepare your war stories. Behavioral interviews are big. Interviewers will ask you questions about your past actions to determine how you'd behave in the future. The examples you present are an opportunity to shine; choose examples that demonstrate your ability to identify and overcome adversity, collaborate, and build creative solutions to work problems. Have five or six go-to stories about your work successes that you can tell which will show you as a strong potential hire.
Have questions ready. At the end of the conversation, your interviewer will either run out of questions for you, or ask if you have any of your own. Never be caught without insightful questions to ask. They don't have to be profound, but they should demonstrate that you're engaged and have paid attention. Some good standbys: "What does success in this role look like?"; "What does the average day in this position consist of?"; and "Why is this position open?" Find other effective questions here.
Put off the salary discussion, if at all possible. In fact, don't bring it up at all. Let the interviewer bring it up, and if they do, handle it delicately. Focus on your interest in the job, and indicate that compensation is a secondary consideration to the job itself.
Send "Thank You" notes. If you met with somebody during your interview day, send them a brief note (email is fine) thanking them for their time and consideration. I've seen a well-placed "Thank You" note push a candidate over the top. And don't send notes to some people and not to others - everybody has a say in whether you get hired, from the receptionist up through the CEO; don't let anybody feel snubbed and wanting to sabotage your chances.

What exit strategy do I have to maximise my income in retirement.
Maintaining income levels for the owner manager and achieving the optimum balance between a dividend and employment remuneration strategy in times of changing taxes requires careful planning.
It is essential that businesses recruit, retain and motivate their employees. This can be achieved by developing remuneration packages which minimise tax and National Insurance for both employees and employers. A remuneration package may include pension contributions, benefits and the opportunity to acquire shares in the company via a share schemes. Businesses need to ensure packages meet the requirements of key employees to retain their services and that the package is tax effective.
In terms of attracting and retaining the best people or rewarding them when they leave or retire, a tax-efficient remuneration structure can be essential for any business. However, the tax issues are often central to the decision making process and we have the knowledge and expertise to provide the right solution.
To maximise your remuneration both during and post that period.

Q: How to measure allocation rate with jmh? JMH seems like it does most caliper features as well or better than caliper, but I couldn't figure out how to measure allocation rate, which is in general useful to be able to look at in a microbenchmark.  Is JMH the wrong tool to measure allocation rate?

A: There is no accurate allocation rate measurement in JMH. This is a job for profiler, like Java Mission Control. In JMH, you can roughly estimate the allocation pressure by observing the GC counts via the MXBeans. This is wrapped by JMH profilers, e.g. -prof gc. Use -lprof to get the list of embedded profilers.

MSBA 2018 Day 41 - What's in a Name?
Day 41: What's in a Name?
When you last heard from me, I was raving about my experience at the NBA Draft. Today, I've got an even better story for you.
On Monday, July 16th, after a regular work day at You First, I left the office en route to the Barclays Center. I had been tasked with delivering concert tickets to Andray Blatche, one of our clients. After the exchange, Andray, realizing my swagger (or the high number of leftover tickets he had), asked me to join him and his crew in a suite for Chris Brown.
Both of these bizarre experiences of mine took place at the Barclays Center. Needless to say, I wasn't a hard sell for BSE Global.
BSE owns practically all sports and entertainment properties in Brooklyn. I suppose that's why they're called BSE (which once stood for "Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment") Global. Managing the Brooklyn Nets franchise (and their G-League affiliate), business operations for the New York Islanders, and all entertainment within the Barclays Center, BSE Global provided MSBA with an all-encompassing display of the sports industry. Sales, event management, sponsorships, public relations, and analytics were the concentrations of the panelists and the primary functions of BSE Global. Upon seeing how each segment is integrated and accounted for, it became clear why BSE conducts such great events and has such successful business operations.
On the basketball side of things, the Nets' young core and search for an identity make it surprisingly easy to forget the distinctiveness of the franchise, which is all tied back to Brooklyn. VP of Global Partnerships Dan Gaiman referred to the Nets as a major player in 2019 free agency. My initial reaction was total disbelief, but it's pretty funny what cap space and New York City can do for a team. Brooklyn itself sold Infor on becoming the Nets' jersey patch sponsor, and don't be surprised if Brooklyn itself sells Kyrie Irving, Jimmy Butler, Kawhi Leonard, or all three of them. If the gap narrows between the Eastern and Western Conferences of the NBA, it's going to be because of Kristaps Porzingis and the Brooklyn Nets. And the Milwaukee Bucks.
To my roommates Joe Buonadonna and Matt Schasel, thank you for somehow making every night spent in our dorm room a wild adventure. Just not to Washington, D.C.
To the other 24 of you, thank you for showing me 24 different ways to make it here, for giving me a priceless, timeless network, and for the best summer of my life.
To Lorne Segall, thank you for your honesty, for being my fourth mentor, and for being a father of 27 for the last eight weeks.
To Bailey Weigel, thank you for having patience with me, for being my caddie, and for being a mother of 27 for the last eight weeks.
To David Oestreicher, thank you for bringing us together this summer and for keeping us together forever.
To my parents, thank you for believing in me.

Norway and Sweden have arount 80 border crossings, we have about 275.
I also don't think any land owned by anyone crosses the border between Norway and Sweden, we have lots of farms that have land north and south here.
I must have read the numbers the other way round. But still only one crossing has an actual border check. As I've said previously I want to stay in the EU but EFTA and EEA membership is surely the next best option. But it's not going to happen anyway as there is no will for it.
It's not that there's no will for it. It's because it doesn't work when you take the Good Friday Agreement into account.
But in that case no other arrangement works other than staying in the EU.
I'm still not sure why the good Friday agreement would mean it wouldn't work anyway. If you had EEA membership then border checks are not required. Norway appear to choose to conducts some checks because they want to, not because of any requirements.

That and the current deal. You're catching on!
Staying in the EU is best, I agree.
Where do you get the idea that Norway only carry out checks because they want to? They let individuals through without checking, but they check lorries and goods. Because they're not in the customs union.
That's why the Norway model doesn't work. You'd have to have Norway+ for it to work (which is Norway plus the customs union).
We might of being able to get that a year ago.
We probably still could, but as we won't accept free movement it's dead in the water.
And even if we did get it, it's far worse than just remaining. The Leavers would hate it, the Remainers would see it as a waste of time compared to what we have/had.
So that's another line crossed, threatening another nation with starvation is totally cool now I guess.

Ireland is way more self-sufficient in food than the UK. It could feed itself without any imports if necessary. The UK, on the other hand, would starve pretty quickly.

The challenge of this event is to get a team of nine plus my brother-in-law (who is a wheelchair user) up Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales. Although it's called the 'Snowdon Push' I suspect there'll be as much pulling as pushing involved on the 8 mile path.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Back-Up Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Gutsy Gibraltar going for glory against Georgia in grudge group game
Sam Barnard | 14.10.2014
Gibraltar (14/1 chances for victory) face number 110 FIFA-ranked opposition Georgia at their adopted home of Faro in Portugal, knowing that they have lost just one of their three matches there.
On top of that, the Eastern Europeans' senior side have only played in the Iberian country once, losing 2-0 to Portugal in 2008. That scoreline in favour of GFA, as the British overseas territory are nicknamed, is a whopping 300/1 price.
Allen Bula, Gibraltar head coach, though, prepares his side on the back of two consecutive 7-0 hammerings at the hands of Poland and more recently the Republic of Ireland. If you fancy that result in favour of Georgia (odds-on at 1/6 to win) this time around, take odds of 70/1.
Bula boldly said before the qualifiers that he aims to reach the play-offs, but following the Ireland result, he backtracked but hit back at critics, saying: "After seeing that people in my home nation are criticising me for saying things like that, from now on it's going to be the truth. No, we're not going to get to the play-offs. We're just going to try to minimise the score.
"It takes courage to do what my players have done, come from their jobs and play in front of millions of people."
Both sides are yet to get a point during this Euro 2016 qualifying campaign so far after their two Group D games, with the away nation in this fixture being beaten by British Isles duo Republic of Ireland and Scotland. A draw, therefore, is priced at 6/1.
For Gibraltar, it is about minimising the scoreline as much as possible, but Georgia are currently going through one of the worst spells in their history, having won only two of their last 16 international matches – losing 11.
GFA, meanwhile, have won one of their first seven fixtures since being accepted as UEFA's newest and 54th member in May 2013, and have taken draws from nations currently ranked higher than Georgia. Spain's recent conquerors Slovakia (number 40) and Estonia (81), who only recently lost to England 1-0, failed to beat Gibraltar. Their only victory so far is to Malta (155).
For goals in this encounter, back Kyle Cascario, one of only three GFA players to have scored senior international goals, at 7/2 in the anytime market. Defender Joseph Chipolina, distant relative of captain Roy Chipolina, meanwhile, came agonisingly close to grabbing a consolation goal against Martin O'Neill's men, after his smashing header was superbly saved by keeper David Forde from a corner. He is a 6/1 shout to find the net this time.
Georgia have score just once in their last three games, but Genk midfielder Tornike Okriashvili got his side's sole goal against Ireland and was also on target this year against Saudi Arabia. He is priced at 23/10 to net again anytime, and 6/1 for two or more.
Gibraltar keeper Jordan Perez, joint top in the all-time cap list with three others on seven, was harshly substituted in the last match, despite conceding all seven and getting an own goal, but was given an ovation by the 35k capacity crowd. Jamie Robba came on for the final 30 minutes, managing not to concede, so could get the nod this time around. Whoever starts, Bula's boys have odds of 14/1 to keep a clean sheet.

The boys gave us a peep into their joint EP quite some time ago, but the final product has finally arrived. The 6-track EP features Shlohmo's dense signature production, accompanied by Jeremih's lush vocals, making for quite the exceptional recipe.
This weeks mix happens to feature quite the array of vibes and emotions. With Zach Braff's Wish I Was Here film coming this month, you knew an A+ soundtrack would riding in the sidecar. Coldplay, Cat Power and Bon Iver are just a couple of the artists on board, all of which are featured in this mix. We also have the latest single from Alt-J, Rockie Fresh, B.o.B. and a handful of delectable remixes.
As previously stated here on AHM, we have mad love and respect for Jordan Asher, aka Boots. After his induction via Beyoncé latest self-titled effort, he didn't waste much time dropping a solo mixtape. The 16-track project features Shlohmo, Jeremih, Son Lux, Kelela, Margot and the culprit responsible for the introduction; Beyoncé.
This week's mix sees two fresh cuts from Boots, a mesmerizing ODESZA remix, Bas of Dreamville Records dropping bars, the return of Lana Del Rey, Chance The Rapper fighting back, brand new single from The Black Keys, Future and Kanye's collaboration and more. Let's go!
As promised, De La Soul has finished with the teasing, and have dropped their latest project for free. Smell the Da.I.S.Y. is entirely produced by the late legend, J Dilla. This is truly an extraordinary gift from the boys of Long Island, NY; a gift I would gladly pay good money for. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Posdnuos called Dilla "the Tupac of producers," and this project is a clear testament to that statement.
This week in Volume 105, there's a freestyle from the Jay's of Roc Nation, the return of Fucked Up, fresh vibes from Wu and De La, and Miguel covering Elton John. Hit the jump and get listening.

Fans are excited as reports surface with the release of "Person 5 S." Leaks regarding the release are reported to be launched this coming fall of 2019. Also, it is speculated that the meaning of S is for the Nintendo Switch version. Critics suggested that the "Persona 5 S" is for the Nintendo Switch. Mr. Ohya who had already proven the accurate number of Persona 5 R leaks before the official announcement.
Thus, no official statement has been released with the exact date of the 5 S version. It is not yet clear what will be the difference of the Persona 5 S PS$ version to the non-S PS4 version. Reports suggested that it may be an error made by Mr. Ohya. Thus, Mr. Ohya said that before May fans will have their info. It will be expected that Atlus will reveal more details about Persona 5 S during the said month.
In line, with "Persona 5's" Joker character coming to the Super Smash Bros Ultimate, it has been heavily speculated that Nintendo and Atlus are working together. As previously there was a Persona Q2 available for Nintendo 3DS. Thus, recent teasers from Atlus points into a direction towards something more, according to Game Revolution.
Furthermore, towards the end of 2018, Atlus was reported to be busy. They have been registering carious "Persona 5" domain names. It includes "P5R," which is an acronym that was seen at the Atlus official website. "P5M" and the "P5B" are also spotted to be registered via Push Square. Thus, critics find it confusing.
In line, the new information that has been provided by Mr. Ohya that he posted on Twitter stated that they still have to wait for the Atlus' official statement. After the statement, they will truly know the exact planning.
Thus, there has been a lot of Person games and spin-offs, it would be a challenge to estimate what did Mr. Ohya revealed. With that, speculations arose that it would be a Nintendo Switch version of "Persona 5," according to Wccftech.
Meanwhile, last month, Altrus also revealed a new Person 5 project, recently known only as "Persona 5 R." as for the additional announcement, the information will be coming next month. Just like among the announcements, the Japanese publisher will have to make is the speculated "Persona 5 S." Hence, fans and critics will just have to wait this coming May.

I really really love this book. I think this book is the best introduction to the subject of ants. It is so beautifully illustrated and teaches little facts about them in a very affectionate way. Here are few of its pages to give you a better idea.
Also, I wanted to include the link to this book on ThriftBooks.com website, as you can get used copies there in excellent condition for half the price of those books on Amazon.
This book is a wonderful follow up, as it give more detailed information about ants, such as how they communicate, how the manage ant hill, the different types of ants that are out there and more fun details.
Here it the link to this book on ThriftBooks.com website, also for less than $4!
This book has beautiful photography of ants and that is the main reason it is included in our ant study collection.
And here is our plastic models showing the life cycle of an ant. I always try to find a real life objects to go along with what books teach about. I think it is very important as it helps in making things you read about more real and more memorable. And it also goes right along "learning through play" concept, as boys love playing with those as their little toys.

Microsoft behaves very differently when it feels its patents are threatened. It acts like an adult.
Microsoft rarely sues anyone, but gets sued plenty. It's interesting, therefore, that when Microsoft recently took legal action against an alleged patent violator, the subject is hardware, not software, and relates to its mouse technology, of all things, and not something more significant like, say, its Windows cash cow.
As noted elsewhere on CNET, Microsoft filed a complaint [PDF] with the U.S. International Trade Commission against Taiwanese hardware maker, Primax, over allegations that Primax violated seven Microsoft patents related to two technologies - TiltWheel and U2 - used in computer mice.
In a sign of how Microsoft acts when it really feels its patents are being violated, Microsoft's Horacio Gutierrez, a Microsoft vice president and deputy general counsel for intellectual property and licensing, indicated that Microsoft approached Primax multiple times over two years to try to resolve the issue. In other words, the company was quite reasonable and consistent in its approach.
Now compare this to how Microsoft engaged the Linux community over the alleged violation of no less than 235 of its patents back in 2007. No quiet discussions with the alleged violators (No, the Novell patent deal doesn't count, as Novell never even remotely suggested it had violated any of Microsoft's patents). Just a big Fortune interview, a few grenades launched, and then absolutely nothing beyond continued bursts of FUD.
With Primax, Microsoft demonstrates that it cares deeply about its intellectual property, but also that it knows grown-up ways to deal with protection of that intellectual property. In markets like computer mice it knows how to behave, but when the stakes are high...it yells loudly and stomps its feet?
Microsoft has publicly stated that it doesn't know how to have "grown-up" discussions with open source because there's no one corporate entity with which to negotiate. No cathedral, as it were.
But that's OK. Red Hat has shown how to work with the open-source communities. It's really not that hard, once you get your head around the importance of downstream users and contributors. Just follow Red Hat's example.

A TV series on Brigitte Bardot's life
March 08, 2022 - 01:13 AM - 1755 views
Fan of Brigitte Bardot ? Good news, a TV series based on her life is on its way. This 6 episode programme directed by Daniele Thompson and her son Christopher focuses on BB's youth (15 to 25 years old) and will be broadcasted on French TV channel France 2.
The decade 1949-1959 was particularly rich for the actress. She started with the cover of ELLE magazine at 15, married the movie director Roger Vadim at 18, played with Bourvil, appeared in an american movie, and in an italian one too, and then at 22 years old, she became an international sensation following the release of the movie "And God created Woman" (directed by Roger Vadim).
The actress who will play the French icon has not been unveiled yet, but it's been announced that she's not known by the general public.

Not all small businesses are the same, of course, but there are a few money mistakes that are common to many types of small businesses. Check them out, and make sure these are not happening in your small business.
This means doing your due diligence. Running a small business requires more than a great idea and some agile folks. It requires thought, planning, and documentation.
You're good with the thought and the planning, but the documentation? Most of us don't really like it.
It's important, though, and if you think that you can lead your small business to financial viability without keeping track of things - like your money - you're in for an unpleasant surprise.
Do you have a business plan? Do you have written goals for the short-term and long-term? Do you have the legal documents needed to run your business? Contracts for your employees, projected expenses, and accurate estimates of growth expenses and overhead as your business increases?
Though it's easy to think that winging it will work, especially at first, it becomes more and more difficult to keep track of what's happening financially as your business ages and grows. You need financial documentation for sales, expenses, taxes, employees, contractors, and, really, anything that involves money coming into or going out of your business.
Otherwise you really can't know what's happening with the money in your business, and not knowing is the most common and most dangerous mistake of all.
In a small business, the small leaks do matter. And you know what? In a big business, they matter, too. Small leaks add up to make a big difference.
If you are seeing your business lose money in small quantities in any area, you need to find out why it is happening and what you can do to stop it.
Is it part of the process?
Then the cost needs to be calculated in the overhead, operating expenses, or other designated costs of running your business. If it's not tracked and estimated, you won't be able to make a good estimate of your profits.
With frequent fluctuations in volume and/or type of inventory, it's easy to lose track of what is happening. Inventory represents money for your business. Perhaps you haven't paid all the inventory off, in which case there is a lot of potential lost money if you don't pay before the interest starts accumulating.
One of the most basic things a small business must be able to do is track its inventory. Find a system that works: an app, software, a dedicated system.
Make sure that your employees are trained and able to track inventory as counts change, and that there is a periodic overview (quarterly or annually) to make sure that the inventory counts are accurate.
If you have all the documentation but you can't find it when you need it, it's not going to help you out very much.
Is organization an issue in your small business? If so, it's time to tackle this issue so that you can get your hands on the paperwork and information you need when you need it, not three weeks or three years later, when you find it hidden at the bottom of a stack on your desk.
Organization may not be a fun activity, but having things organized and accessible will make your work so much easier. Invest the time. Get help if you need it. Set aside a weekend and tackle one area of your business at a time until you have papers filed, supplies categorized, and documents accessible in a way that works for you and your business.
What's the bread-and-butter of your business? Is it your product? Your flagship service? Your brand? Your customers?
How many do you have: 5, 50, or 500? It doesn't matter. If you're a tiny business, a small business, or a medium business, your business is only as good as the employees in it.
And if you're skimping on your employees, you are hurting your business.
Pay a decent salary, enough to attract the good employees who will do great work for your business. Put appropriate benefits in place. And invest in employee training, whether that investment is in terms of hours or dollars, or both. The best and most talented employee cannot do a good job if you haven't provided the right training.
Get the most out of your employees by investing more into them.
Isn't that the basic question that every small business owner wants to answer? What's the bottom line: what are we making, and can we keep making it, and is it enough?
The bottom line is that keeping track of money in your small business is something you can do and must do. And when you build that good foundation, handle the small leaks, get organized, and invest in your employees, you'll be building a sound financial future for your business.


The Ultra Beasts, in lore, are extra-dimensional creatures that arrive through Ultra Space Wormholes. According to research, the Ultra Beasts have knowledge that transcends that of humans. No one knows exactly why they're in the Alola Region. However, they are seen to have heightened abilities that can exceed Pokemon if angered enough.
In order to fight the Ultra Beasts, the Alola Region created the UB Task Force. The UB Task Force would then respond to any sighting of the Ultra Beasts that appeared. Hence, they began what they called the Beast Killer Project. The Beast Killer Project involved the UB Task Force creating the Pokemon Type: Full in order to fight them. However, the project ended in a failure which led to the renaming of the Pokemon to Type: Null and the creation of the Beast Ball.
Each of the Ultra Beasts are given a codename as they are not exactly Pokemon. However, there are some that are exclusive to the versions.
Ultra Beast Nihilego's first appearance is in the Aether Foundation. However, players cannot catch Nihilego yet. It's only when Lusamine forces Cosmog to create an Ultra Wormhole for the player to pass through.
Enter the White Wormhole in the Ultra Space.
Sit down on a chair at the end of the corridor and Nihilego will appear.
Once Nihilehgo appears, it'll attack you and give you a chance to capture it.
Once you enter the White Wormhole, you'll find the Ultra Plant.
Look for the area that looks like the Xurkitree.
Head up to the top of the are and watch lightning strike a tree. Xurkitree will then appear.
Confront the Xurkitree for your chance to catch it.
Poipole is a Level 40 Ultra Beast that the Ultra Recon Squad owns. They will give it to you but you first have to defeat Necrozma.
Once Necrozma goes down in Megalopolis, speak to the Ultra Recon Squad and they'll hand you Poipole.
If you wish to evolve your Poipole to Nagandel, head to Mount Lanakila.
When you reach Mt. Lanakila, head to the Poke Center that leads to the Elite Four.
There, speak to the Move Reminder. But make sure you have a Heart Scale on hand.
Pay 1 Heart Scale to the Move Reminder to teach Poipole Dragon Pulse. Delete any move of your choice to make room for Dragon Pulse.
Once Poipole learns Dragon Pulse, level it up once to have it evolve into Naganadel. You can level it up by either using it in battle, Rare Candy, or even by using Exp Share.
Found in the Ultra Ruins.
Head through the White Wormhole and head towards the ruins of Hau'oli city.
Once you reach the end of the are, Guzzlord will appear to fight you.
After defeating Ultra Necrozma in the main storyline, travel to Mt. Lanakila.
Look for a weakened crater to find the original Necrozma.
Confront it to begin your chances of catching it.
Ultra Beast Buzzwole appears only in Pokemon Ultra Sun in the Ultra Jungle.
When you enter the Ultra Jungle, look for a large area of trees connected by vines.
Approach the tallest tree and watch a small volcano erupt. Once it erupts, Buzzwole will appear and give you a chance to capture it.
Appears only in Pokemon Ultra Sun. Head to the Ultra Forest area.
When you reach the Ultra Forest area, look for a small forest path with flowers that look like Kartana.
Proceed further to find two trainers. Defeat the two trainers and you'll spot Kartana staring at a rock.
Confront Kartana to begin the battle.
Complete the game first by defeating the Elite Four in Pokemon Ultra Sun.
Once the Elite Four are down, head down to Poni Grove. Don't forget to bring along your Beast Balls.
When you arrive at Poni Grove, Blacephalon will be waiting for you right there to confront it.
Pheromosa appears in the Ultra Desert in Pokemon Ultra Moon.
First, find the White Wormhole. Then, find the strength puzzle which you need to solve using Machamp's Shove.
After solving the strength puzzle, Pheromosa will appear and give you a chance to catch it.
Exclusive only to Ultra Moon, Ultra Beast Celesteela appears at the Ultra Crater.
Using the White Wormhole, get to the Ultra Crater and make your way to the end of the area.
Once you reach the end of the area, watch the cutscene as Celesteela rises from the ground.
Complete the game first by defeating the Elite Four in Pokemon Ultra Moon.
When you arrive at Poni Grove, Stakataka will be waiting for you right there to confront it.
Stock on Beast Balls; they have a better catching rate than the regular pokeballs for the Ultra Beasts.
If you have one pokemon that's super effective to it, make sure you have one at the same level of the Ultra Beasts to prevent over-kills.
Have one of your Pokemon learn False Swipe. Most particularly, have your tanky one learn it. In doing so, it can sustain the damage as you desperately try to catch the Ultra Beasts.
One of your Pokemon should have any move that puts the Ultra Beast to sleep or to paralyze. Using the other conditions such as Burn, Poison, and Confuse may end up killing the Ultra Beasts. If insistent, make sure the Ultra Beast is at least 20% HP.

Process servers case before Miss. court
JACKSON, Miss. — The Mississippi Supreme Court will review contempt of court citations filed by a judge against three people who allegedly lied about delivering subpoenas in child support cases.
In July of 2010, Jackson County Chancellor Neil Harris found Guy Jernigan, Thomas Corey McDonald and Edwin Cheshire in contempt of court for filing false affidavits and ordered them to pay $88,500 in sanctions and serve jail time until the money was paid.
In court documents, Harris has said Jernigan claimed he served a woman who was in jail and couldn't receive a subpoena and another who had been dead for two years.
Jernigan and McDonald were process servers for First Fidelity Trust Services Inc., a subcontractor of YoungWilliams Child Support Services. Cheshire is identified in court documents as president of First Fidelity Trust.
All three appealed to Harris' order to the Mississippi Supreme Court.
According to Harris' order, Jernigan filed a sworn affidavit with the court clerk stating he served April Gray of Ocean Springs on May 6. But Gray was jailed at the Jackson County Adult Detention Center at the time and could not have received the document.
YoungWilliams is a Jackson company that had a $23 million with the Mississippi Department of Human Services to seek child support court orders.
The process servers claimed they delivered papers to people who were incarcerated and even to a woman who had been dead for two years, court records show.
Questions about the process servers prompted an investigation by MDHS.
The case is among dozens of appeals before the Supreme Court in its July-August term. The Supreme Court will not hear oral arguments in the case.

Q: 'request_cache=true' in GET request to elasticsearch doesn't create a cache I have a query which takes a long time to process. Therefore, I want to get the cached result from elasticsearch.
What I found out is, that I have to:

*

*pass size=0 to get the cached results

*OR pass request_cache=true in the query

My example GET looks like this:
curl 'localhost:9200/documentrevisions/_search?request_cache=true' -d '{"size": 10, "query": { }}'

I also found this GitHub PR where they talk exactly about this issue.

But, when I am setting the size to greater than 0, elasticsearch
  isn't creating a cache, even when I am passing request_cache=true in
  the query.

Is this a bug? Or how can I make sure that I just get a certain amount of results back but still be able to cache those?
I am using the elastic JS library for NodeJS.

A: It's not a bug, it prevents you from filling up the cache with (huge) result sets by default. The cache is (by default) there to avoid iops/additional work for recurring empty result sets.
If you have a lot of requests with results in size 0 arrays, the cache can play out its full potential.
If you know what you are doing, add request_cache=true to your queries to also save time for recurring non-empty result sets.

Sales of Outdoor and Sports Toys Surge as Families Take Refuge in Their Backyards

The NPD Group: Sales of Outdoor and Sports Toys Surge as Families Take Refuge in Their Backyards
Port Washington, NY, May 18, 2020 – Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. families are turning to outdoor play to manage social isolation measures and the cancellation of schools and organized sports. Sales of Outdoor and Sports Toys surged by $193 million during April, 2020, a 51 percent increase over the same time period last year*. The Outdoor and Sports Toys supercategory contributed 53 percent of the total growth in the toy industry during that time period according to retail sales data from The NPD Group. The total U.S. toy industry grew 22% in April.
"As families across the U.S. continue to grapple with school closures and the cancellation of organized sports, parents and children are turning to their backyards to keep active and busy," said Juli Lennett, NPD's toys industry advisor. "Across the country outdoor spaces are taking the place of daycares, schoolyards, and sports fields. As the warmer weather takes hold, these spaces are becoming increasingly important for families who are looking to take refuge outdoors while still adhering to widespread social isolation measures."
Growth in the Outdoor and Sports Toys supercategory was driven by a number of categories that experienced strong dollar gains during April, including Playground Equipment (+81%), Skate/Skateboards/Scooters (+107%), Ride-Ons (+78%), Water/Sand Toys & Accessories (+47%), Pools (+161%), and Sports Activities & Games (+25%).
"With summer quickly approaching and many parents expecting to continue working from home, keeping children busy will become even more of a priority," said Lennett. "Parents will be looking for more solutions to keep their kids active and engaged during the summer months, which will undoubtedly bode well for the toy industry overall."

$51 – 99MM

Investment Thesis:
By investing in enterprises that can significantly expand access to safe water and sanitation among people living in poverty, WaterEquity fosters an enduring capital market that accelerates universal access to safe water and sanitation.
Investment Overview:
Lack of financing is the biggest barrier to ending the global water crisis. WaterEquity builds the market between impact investors and water and sanitation enterprises reaching underserved communities, unlocking the level of capital needed to match the scale of this crisis. By supporting the sustainable growth of water and sanitation enterprises in emerging markets, WaterEquity accelerates an end to the global water crisis for hundreds of millions of men, women, and children. WaterEquity's funds target investments in enterprises that have significant capacity for scale, a strong financial track record, and a deep reach into poor communities. This includes investing in microfinance institutions, micro-utilities, toilet manufacturers, and water purification and sales kiosks. For example, our investees connect families to piped water systems, finance the construction of high-quality toilets, manufacture water filtration devices, and so much more. We understand the scale of the investment opportunity and how to meet the increasing demand for safe water and sanitation among people living in poverty.
Company Differentiator:
WaterEquity builds on Water.org's 15-year track record with WaterCredit - a market-based model that brings micro-loans to families living in poverty worldwide to help them respond to their water and sanitation needs. Given this foundation, WaterEquity is uniquely positioned to tap into global capital markets and harness the momentum around social impact investing to accelerate progress and impact against the global water crisis. WaterEquity has the needed expertise to build and vet a pipeline of diverse enterprises serving the water supply and sanitation needs of families living in poverty. Strategically following the evolution of WaterCredit and investment opportunities in the water and sanitation sector, WaterEquity is initially investing in enterprises in Asia, followed by subsequent funds focused on Africa and potentially Latin America.
Investment Example
Based in Odisha, India, Adhikar is a microfinance institution that provides sustainable financial services for social and economic empowerment to poor women and their families, with a focus on rural communities. Adhikar launched its water supply and sanitation loan portfolio in 2012, helping its clients get financing for household toilets, piped water connections, and water filters. Adhikar has demonstrated organizational commitment to its water and sanitation portfolio, built strong relationships with local governments agencies involved in water management, and developed well-designed and competitively priced microloan products. To enable Adhikar to scale their water and sanitation loan portfolio, WaterEquity extended a $370,000 three-year loan with a target to reach over 10,000 women and their families with water and sanitation. In the first few months post-disbursement, Adhikar more than doubled the size of their water and sanitation loan portfolio, and they project it will quadruple by 2022.

Secret ruling limited spying efforts
A federal intelligence court judge earlier this year secretly declared a key element of the Bush administration's wiretapping efforts illegal, according to a lawmaker and government sources, providing a previously unstated rationale for fevered efforts by congressional lawmakers this week to expand the president's spying powers.
Aug. 3, 2007, 7:04 AM UTC / Source: a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/front.htm" linktype="External" resizable="true" status="true" scrollbars="true">The Washington Post</a
By By Carol D. Leonnig and Ellen Nakashima
House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) disclosed elements of the court's decision in remarks Tuesday to Fox News as he was promoting the administration-backed wiretapping legislation. Boehner has denied revealing classified information, but two government officials privy to the details confirmed that his remarks concerned classified information.
The judge, whose name could not be learned, concluded early this year that the government had overstepped its authority in attempting to broadly surveil communications between two locations overseas that are passed through routing stations in the United States, according to two other government sources familiar with the decision.
The decision was both a political and practical blow to the administration, which had long held that all of the National Security Agency's enhanced surveillance efforts since 2001 were legal. The administration for years had declined to subject those efforts to the jurisdiction of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, and after it finally did so in January the court ruled that the administration's legal judgment was at least partly wrong.
Monitoring of foreign calls, emails blocked
The practical effect has been to block the NSA's efforts to collect information from a large volume of foreign calls and e-mails that passes through U.S. communications nodes clustered around New York and California. Both Democrats and Republicans have signaled they are eager to fix that problem through amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
"There's been a ruling, over the last four or five months, that prohibits the ability of our intelligence services and our counterintelligence people from listening in to two terrorists in other parts of the world where the communication could come through the United States," Boehner told Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto in a Tuesday interview.
"This means that our intelligence agencies are missing a wide swath of potential information that could help protect the American people," he said. Boehner added that some Democrats are aware of the problems caused by the judge's restrictive ruling and the problems it has caused for the administration's surveillance of terrorism suspects.
"The Democrats have known about this for months," Boehner said. "We have had private conversations, we have had public conversations that this needs to be fixed. And Republicans are not going to leave this week until this problem is addressed."
Secrets spilled?
Commenting on Boehner's remarks, Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), the House Democratic Caucus chairman, said yesterday that "John should remember the old adage: Loose lips very much sink ships." But Kevin Smith, Boehner's spokesman, denied that the House Republican leader had disclosed classified information.
Any assertion that Boehner spilled secrets "is just plain wrong and distracts from the critical task at hand -- fixing FISA to close the serious intelligence gaps that are jeopardizing our national security," Smith said.
Smith said that Boehner's comments were based on a public, Jan. 17 letter to Congress by Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, in which the administration announced that it would allow the NSA program to be reviewed by the intelligence court. That letter said that an intelligence court judge had issued orders "authorizing the Government to target for collection into or out of the United States where there is probable cause to believe" one of the parties is a terrorist.
But the letter referred only to "approval" of a government surveillance request and did not refer, as Boehner did, to the court's rejection of surveillance of specific foreign communications routed through the United States. The NSA surveillance at issue is part of a broader program authorized by President Bush shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell said this week in a public letter that the order covered "various intelligence activities" that he did not describe. "The details of the activities changed in certain respects over time," he said.
Since the existence of the warrantless wiretapping program was leaked to the public in late 2005, civil libertarians and legal experts have accused the administration of violating FISA and engaging in illegally broad data mining of telephone and e-mail records.
'Huge backlog'
The effect of the judge's decision to curtail some of that surveillance was to limit the flow of information about possible terrorism suspects, according to congressional staffers briefed on the ruling. Last week, McConnell told the Center for Strategic and International Studies that the government faces "this huge backlog trying to get warrants for things that are totally foreign that are threatening to this country."
Gaining access to the foreign communications at issue would allow the NSA to tap into the huge volume of calls, faxes and e-mails that pass from one foreign country to another by way of fiber-optic connections in the United States.
"If you're calling from Germany to Japan or China, it's very possible that the call gets routed through the United States, despite the fact that there are geographically much more direct routes to Asia," said Stephan Beckert of Telegeography Inc.
That was not true when Congress passed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in 1978. The law established much stricter limits on intercepting communications involving people or facilities in the United States. If those limits apply now, for example, to calls from Pakistan to Yemen that pass through U.S. switches, the NSA could lose access to a substantial portion of global communications traffic.
Since March, the administration has quickly tried to build a case for the legislation, while concealing from the public and many in Congress a key event that appears to have driven the effort.
"It clearly shows that Congress has been playing with half a deck," said Jim Dempsey, policy director for the Center for Democracy and Technology. "The administration is asking lawmakers to vote on a very important piece of legislation based upon selective declassification of intelligence."
Broader revision
In April, McConnell proposed a much broader revision of FISA than what the administration is pressing Congress to approve this week. Under the new plan, the attorney general would have sole authority to authorize the warrantless surveillance of people "reasonably believed to be outside the United States" and to compel telecommunications carriers to turn over the information in real time or after it has been stored.
An unstated facet of the program is that anyone the foreigner is calling inside the United States, as long as that person is not the primary target, would also be wiretapped. On Saturday, Bush in his radio address argued more narrowly that "one of the most important ways we can gather that information is by monitoring terrorist communications." FISA, he said, "provides a critical legal foundation" in allowing the government to collect that information while protecting Americans' civil liberties.
Testifying on the Hill in May, McConnell argued that the law needed to be updated to accommodate technology's advance. "Today a single communication can transit the world, even if the two people communicating are only a few miles apart," he said, alluding to the fact that a significant volume of e-mails and phone calls are routed through the United States.
Democrats announced this week a proposal that would also expand the government's wiretapping authority but would keep it under FISA court supervision. The authority would expire in six months.
This week, McConnell spent hours on the Hill briefing lawmakers. On Tuesday, he gave about 50 senators a classified briefing making the case for the legislation. That briefing included the change in the threat environment, as well as a description of the court development, according to a government source who requested anonymity because the briefing was classified.
"He was not complaining about one judge or another," the source said. "He was saying, 'I need to collect X, but I can only collect Y and we need to change the law on that.' "

Medical school is the best, worst learning environment.
Medical students around the country are completely overwhelmed with the sheer volume of information they need to master in just a short amount of time.
This burden of conquering vast amounts of information and accepting an inordinate amount of responsibility quickly causes all kinds of problems for even the most ambitious twentysomethings.
Common psychological and social issues like interpersonal relationship problems, sleep loss, reduced focus, short-term memory loss, depression, and even physically altering effects like headaches and malnutrition begin to take their toll.
People are on board that medical school needs to evolve. But no one knows what to do. Or where to begin.
But there must be a better way than flipping through flashcards for the thousandth time or locking yourself in the library for 10 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Adeel Yang and Ron Robertson were like most second year med students cramming at the University of Arizona — completely frustrated and exhausted with trying to memorize so many mind-numbingly boring, arcane facts.
Before long, they started making up ridiculous, humorous stories as a way to lighten the mood and create more context around what they were learning. Soon these audio-visual mnemonics took on a life of their own. And the two friends knew they were on to something interesting.
Ron and Adeel started exploring ways they could use technology — specifically the cloud-based infrastructure and massive scale of the internet — to bring their vision to the masses. And as with so many successful technology startups before them, they "scratched their own itch" and built something they wished existed when they needed it.
Fast forward to today, and Picmonic is a profitable, revenue generating start-up out of Arizona that's transforming how medical students study for the USMLE Step 1. They've made a huge dent in the "test prep" market for med students, and were recently featured on Stanford Medicine's Scope with other "21st century" study tools.
But the most exciting thing about Picmonic… is that it works. Students using Picmonic improved their memory retention (not just experience) by 162%.
Here's how their revolutionary approach to helping students memorize and recall vast amounts of information can be applied to all styles of learning.
These core points form the foundation of Picmonic's products. They start by creating picture-word associations with original characters (like Pencil Villain for Penicillin). Next, they create light-hearted, humorous stories around the artwork, and include other audio/visual effects to bring these stories and characters to life.
Currently they have over 600 "cards" spanning over 4,000 facts in their library. Each card has in-depth topic overviews with links to additional resources like First Aid. Users can write down their personal notes, and share comments or suggestions with others.
In the upcoming Version 2 that's launching soon, they're expanding this "social" functionality to allow users to create and share their own stories and information. So while you're currently able to focus on individual memorization, the new social features will mimic study groups and provide new perspectives on different topics.
While Picmonic's main product focuses on medicine, the learning system they've built can easily expand and apply to other industries. And their innovative approach provides a blueprint for the future of learning.
Students today aren't using textbooks or lectures. Because, well… they don't work.
The purpose of medical school isn't to see who can cram and regurgitate the most information. The purpose is to master this information and make this knowledge useful through analysis and application (à la Bloom's taxonomy).
Despite academia's slow adoption, the good news is that there are signs of life.
One of the most encouraging signs for the future of learning (not just med school) is that the students themselves — the people closest to the problem and forking the bill — are being proactive in seeking out new methods.
And if the solutions don't already exist, then they're brave and creative enough to invent their own.

Nokia applies spectrum innovation to create private mobile networks and expand opportunities for connected vertical industries #MWC17
Nokia radio access network and core technologies to leverage licensed, unlicensed and shared spectrum for robust private mobile networks to meet communications and innovation needs of vertical industries
MEC to enable interworking between multi-operator, multi-access RAN networks to boost performance and quality in venues and enterprise buildings
Nokia to show potential for new enterprise business opportunities at Mobile World Congress 2017 using Flexi Zone small cells leveraging MulteFire(TM) and CBRS spectrum
Espoo, Finland - Nokia is to introduce technologies that leverage licensed, unlicensed and shared spectrum for the creation of robust, private end-to-end networks for vertical industries. Nokia will apply Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) capabilities and leverage its Flexi Zone, Cloud Packet Core and global services expertise to open up new opportunities for enterprises as they automate operations and connect employees and customers.
Following the introduction of applications tailored to business needs using Multi-access Edge Computing, Nokia will now make multi-operator and multi-access network interworking commercially available. Using MEC capabilities, Nokia will provide an overlay approach to a multi-operator, multi-access RAN network, aggregating the enterprise Wi-Fi(TM) or other private wireless networks with an operator's wireless network to boost performance. This will allow the enterprise or venue to deliver the best possible experience for customers using the Wi-Fi network while adding LTE capacity and robustness.
Nokia and Boingo have signed an agreement to trial the technology. Dr. Derek Peterson, chief technology officer at Boingo, said: "Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is now at the foundation of Boingo's next-generation networks and participation in trials involving the technology helps keep us at the forefront of wireless connectivity. New NFV advancements like Nokia's latest MEC capabilities will be crucial to the 5G vision and convergence of LTE and Wi-Fi."
At Mobile World Congress, Nokia will showcase the industry-first MulteFire(TM) release 1.0-compliant live service running on a commercial Flexi Zone small cell. One demonstration will use MulteFire carrier aggregation to boost network performance, while Nokia will also show how MulteFire could be developed in the future to support narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) connectivity for efficient use of spectrum and increased battery life of devices.
Nokia will also explain how enterprises, venues and the hospitality industry in the United States will be able to use the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) shared spectrum to deploy private LTE for their own business needs while also providing access to operators' subscribers. CBRS Flexi Zone small cells - combined with a neutral host gateway and neutral host capable devices - will enable private CBRS LTE network owners to easily allow transparent connectivity for operators' subscribers, helping with operators' densification and indoor penetration needs on their path to 5G.
The Nokia flexible multi-access Cloud Packet Core enables common anchoring of licensed spectrum such as 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G as well as shared and unlicensed spectrum including Wi-Fi, MulteFire and LTE-based CBRS technologies to support a diverse range of mobile broadband, IoT/massive machine-type communication enterprise services and applications. Nokia is further expanding the Cloud Packet Core deployment options with a new range of pre-integrated Cloud Mobile Gateway and Cloud Mobility Manager platforms to support a diverse range of business and operational deployment models for enterprises.
These end-to-end enterprise network capabilities are complemented by Nokia global services expertise. Leveraging the AVA platform, Nokia can offer extensive network planning, optimization, care services and full managed services.
Thorsten Robrecht, head of Advanced Mobile Solutions at Nokia, said: "Our portfolio of technologies and services will allow us to build and operate private networks working with enterprises or with providers to serve their enterprise customers. We can leverage our leadership in licensed, unlicensed and shared spectrum to tailor the network to meet specific demands using the most appropriate access technologies to right-size capacity for enterprises and serve their business needs in a highly reliable and secure way."
