RCSEd Opportunities for Affiliate Members
The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh would like to congratulate Arian Arjomandi Rad, the recipient of our 2020 Cardiothoracic Surgery Medical Student Elective Travel.
After returning from the elective in ICLAS, Ligurian High Specialty Clinical Institute(Italy) in July 2020, Arian shared his thoughts about the experience:
The great complexity, intricacy and potential for innovation which exists around cardiothoracic surgery was one my main motivators in undertaking the following elective. The elective supported me in my objective of becoming a future highly skilled surgeon and a leader in the field of cardiac surgery.
The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh Cardiothoracic Elective Award broadened my understanding of cardiothoracic surgery and made me determined to pursue this unique specialty in my future. It allowed me to gain a deep insight into the potential for innovations in the field and motivated me into pursuing other opportunities to explores other aspects of this specialty such as Robotic and minimally invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery.

Set Apart In Christ
Discussing theology, holiness and life in Christ...
Time for a change of appointment?
Confession time.
Did you come to this wondering if I was about to reveal that I am about to receive a change in appointment? If so, I wonder if you've just emphasised the point I'm hoping to make here. That being, that I think the current system of appointing Officers needs to be discarded as it no longer remains best practice. In fact, the current system actually promotes gossip and voyeurism more than it does our mission objectives.
I'll come back to that momentarily.
In a recent post over at Boundless Salvation, Captain Jason Davies-Kildea questioned the place of "expertise" within The Salvation Army. This is actually a big problem that he highlights across the board. Generalists Officers are, generally speaking (pardon the pun), considered of greater long-term value to the purposes of the Army than specialists.
This may, in fact, be correct. I don't think it is, but I'm allowing for the possibility that I could be wrong. That happens quite frequently.
My problem is with the way the appointment system is used to create these generalist Officers. For those who are unaware, the current system employed is that Officers (through their Officers covenant and Officer undertakings) agrees to go wherever they are appointed to. Territorial Commanders (TC) are given the responsibility of deciding upon those appointments. Most often they delegate the actual organisation of this to a Personnel Secretary, but in the end it's the decision of the TC as to whether an Officer needs to move, where they will be moved to, and who will replace them. Most often Officers will spend 3-5 years in any given appointment, and over the course of their Officership be sent to a variety of roles. That produces generalists, and actually limits the possibility of specialisation.
It wasn't our own system. In fact, we appropriated it as a part of our adoption of Military metaphors and structures. But, I think it's time for a complete overhaul of this system, though.
There are a number of reasons for this. Firstly, it creates a great deal of pain and anxiety for Officers. I know, as an Officer myself, that this is the nature of the system, but I've seen this anxiety and pain in the faces of a number of very close friends. This is exacerbated by the necessary requirement for "silence" until the announcement is made. Many Officers are told they are moving, which can cause a great deal of pain for them, and then told to keep it to themselves, sometimes for months at a time. I suggest this places "the system" above "the people" and simply makes me ask "Is there a better way?". Frankly, I think there is.
Secondly, this system promotes, and even causes gossip and voyeurism. From my own observations (indeed, this includes self-reflection here) I've seen how the Army world effectively "stops" on field change day. Particularly around the college as cadets find out their first appointments there is a sense of excitement in the air. Let me be perfectly honest and say that I know that I get excited when I see that "Appointment Announcement" email come through... but is that more about voyeurism than genuine concern for the mission of The Salvation Army? If I'm honest, it's probably the first more than the second.
Thirdly, we have created, by virtue of the fact that only Officers are appointed, two completely separate leadership structures, all based on whether one wears red epauletes or not. Officers are appointed to roles of leadership, sometimes with little to no expertise in that particular field, whilst employee positions are advertised and they have to apply for roles as they become available. This has practical implications in that employees, and particularly long-serving employees, have a "glass ceiling" above them resulting in the fact that they are highly unlikely to be able to be promoted to a role that has historically been occupied by an Officer. More than that, this is a theological issue as well. If we truly espouse an understanding of the "Priesthood of All Believers" that says there is no ontological difference between "lay" and "clergy", then this is one practical area where we need to apply such a theology. Otherwise, we're preaching one thing and doing another.
My suggestion here is to completely overhaul the appointment system. In its place I suggest a system structured in the same way as the employee system. Positions are advertised, Officers apply for them, they are interviewed and accepted or rejected for the position. This could include provision for short-term appointments of say 3-5 years, but with the opportunity for renewal at the end. Importantly, anyone is able to apply for any role, including senior leadership positions. For example, why couldn't a soldier occupy a cabinet position?
In conjunction with this is the need for an appropriate performance management system for all Officers and employees. This currently occurs for employees. For Officers it's "on the way" (at least in my territory).
For the purposes of transparency, I must state that this wasn't my own idea, but something a fellow Officer suggested in conversation. What I've proposed here are, though, my thoughts as to why I think the idea has merit.
I think it provides some possible solutions to the problems highlighted above. Firstly, Officers would know when their term is coming to an end and would be actively involved in the renewal process, or the application process for a new appointment. This would eliminate some of the anxiety (perhaps re-creating it in a new form!!!), but importantly treating them as persons interested in their own self-development. Secondly, gossip and voyeurism is reduced (but admittedly never entirely eliminated) as transparency would need to be built into the system. Roles and opportunities would need to be advertised, and everyone would know that a given position is up for renewal. Officers could state to their friends and colleagues that they are applying for a particular role, taking away the "watercooler whispers". Finally, we are much closer to applying our theology of the priesthood of all believers in practical terms. If Harold Hill's assessment is correct, this is something we've been failing at for some time.
Coming back to the original problem of "specialisation" and "generalisation", this proposal allows for the possibility that an Officer could be in one location for 3, 5, 10, 20 years, even. Developing them into a specialist in their particular ministry area.
I know this suggestion is not perfect. I know it would be messy, particularly in the early years of implementing such a system, and it's just easier to just accept what is the status quo. But since when has settling with the status quo ever been good enough?
We must always ask "Is there a better way?". On this particular point, I think there is.
Leadership Ministry Mission The Salvation Army
I agree with you to a point. I think perhaps it might be better to have a combination of systems. Perhaps have corps appointments remain in the current system (with greater consultation with officers), and have other positions which require speciality to be under the system you propose.
One of the big problems I forsee is that by introducing the system you propose, you would inadvertently introduce (to a much greater degree then it already exists), the 'dog-eat-dog' culture that exists in the secular workplace - with people crawling over each other to get to certain positions. And what about those who have a true 'servant heart' nature - who are humble, inspiring, brilliant men and women of God, but becuase of their humility and servant nature, could never conceive of putting themselves forward for a certain position. What happens if an officer is unsuccessfull at applying for a new position or re-applying for their old position? Will they be without appointment? There needs to remain a certain amount of security in officership, and positions need to remain that are simply for generalists. Yes, allow soldiers to apply for leadership position in their specialty area.
Perhaps it's time to restrict Officership to the Corps ministers only - the Parish Priest type model (with officers/priests in clerical leadership roles such as DC (Bishop), TC(Arch-Bishop) etc) - and all other positions be open to lay people to apply for, or Officers - if there are enough Officers, and they are qualified enough.
Just my thoughts.

Sermon - You believe in the resurrection? (Luke 20:27-40)
One of my favourite writers, and one of the greatest Biblical scholars of our generation, N.T. Wright once wrote the following: I used to tell my students that at least 20 per cent of what I was telling them was wrong, but I didn't know which 20 per cent it was: I make many mistakes in life, in relationships and in work, and I don't expect to be free of them in my thinking. But whereas in much of life one's mistakes are often fairly obvious – the short cut path that ended in a bed of nettles, the experimental recipe that gave us all queasy stomachs, the golf shot that landed in the lake – in the life of the mind things are often not so straightforward. We need other minds on the job, to challenge us, to come back at us to engage with our arguments and analyses. That is how the world goes round.
Here is a man who has years of research under his belt, countless books from his own pen lining bookshelves all throughout the world, a former Oxford professor, Bishop of Durham and now Professor…
Hook, line and sinker
Arguably Gregory of Nyssa's most famous contribution to Christian theology, next to his involvement with the other Cappadocian Fathers in the solidification of the doctrine of the Trinity, is his famous "fish-hook" theory of the atonement. It goes a little something like this...
Humanity is enslaved to sin and the devil by their own free choice to turn away from the Good (i.e. God) and towards evil. God could free humanity arbitrarily, but this would deny his own justice, since it was the free choice of humanity to be enslaved. The slave-master (even if it is the devil) must receive a payment for the slave.
What would he accept in exchange for the thing which he held but something... higher and better in the way of ransom. (Gregory of Nyssa, The Great Catechism, NPNF 5, 493).
An Exercise in Self-Deception
The Salvation Army in Australia is in the midst of an historic journey. Since 1880 the Army has been active in this country, doing all it can to see God's Kingdom come and his will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. For much of that time, for functional and practical reasons, there have been two territories; Australia Southern and Australia Eastern. Earlier this year it was announced that this would change. The two would become one. As at 1 June the Australia One project was launched and work was begun on joining the two territories together into one unified structure.
This move excites me. Not just for the practical reasons, but for theological ones as well. This has the potential to be a symbol of unity to the rest of the Army and, indeed, the world. A symbol of how two different things can come together to form something new and, through that new thing, reform society. This can be a symbol of the incarnation; that moment in time and space when the divine and human were unite…

Justin Trudeau's Court: The force awakens?
The unexpected retirement of Supreme Court Justice Thomas Cromwell presents the Prime Minister with an opportunity to make a bold move when he fills the vacancy.
Over the next three years, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will have the opportunity to do what eluded his predecessor for almost a decade: to remake the Supreme Court of Canada in his image.
The surprise announcement on budget day (March 22) by Justice Thomas Cromwell that he will retire from the high court on September 1, 2016, has thrust the Supreme Court onto the government's agenda much earlier than expected. No judge was scheduled to retire until September 2018, when Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin will reach the mandatory retirement age of 75.
While it is said that crises present opportunities, so to do surprises. The 63 year-old Cromwell could have stayed on at the Court for another 12 years, until he reached the mandatory retirement age of 75 (when Justin Trudeau will be closer to 60 than 40). The centrist Cromwell was widely touted as a possible successor to Chief Justice McLachlin in 2018.
Stephen Harper tried to remake the Supreme Court. He had the opportunity to appoint seven of the current nine justices. Those made no appreciable impact on the Court; no insurgency, let alone counterrevolution to the Charter of Rights revolution ever materialized. The judges of the "Harper Court" ruled unanimously against their patron on Senate reform. In what was arguably Harper's worst defeat, four Harper appointees joined with two other colleagues against one lone Harper appointee to reject Harper's selection of Federal Court judge Marc Nadon for a seat on the Supreme Court.
Harper also failed to change the way Supreme Court justices were appointed. He initiated unparalleled but questionable transparency to the appointment process by instituting public hearings for Supreme Court nominees in 2006. He instituted a panel of MPs to create a shortlist from which he would choose the nominee. But after the self-inflicted injury of the Nadon fiasco, Harper scrapped that whole process. His legacy was thus one of failed reforms.
But as one of the wisest sages of our generation once said, "Do or do not. There is no try." What will Justin Trudeau try? And what will he succeed in doing?
There is the safe way, and there is the bold way.
The safe way is to stick closely to the general promises made in the 2015 Liberal platform: make the Supreme Court appointment process more transparent; consult with authorities throughout the legal profession, including the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada; and ensure that all those appointed to the Supreme Court are functionally bilingual.
The last point gets some people excited, but it is likely less challenging than it sounds. It would likely exclude some candidates (see "the bold way" below).
The safe way is to follow the regionalist distribution on the Court, which has existed since its creation in 1875. Since the Court was expanded to nine judges in 1949, it has followed a familiar pattern: three judges from Quebec, three from Ontario, two from the West and one from Atlantic Canada (or, more specifically, one from the Maritimes, since Newfoundland and Labrador has not had a judge on the Supreme Court since it joined Canada in 1949). Since Justice Cromwell held the "seat" for Atlantic Canada, his replacement is supposed to come from one of those four provinces. The speculation and the lobbying have already begun. Newfoundland and Labrador has never had a judge on the Supreme Court and has staked its claim, issuing a press release. Prince Edward Island has actually been waiting longer than Newfoundland and Labrador; it has not had a judge on the high court since 1924. New Brunswick's supporters will claim it is their turn after the Nova Scotian Cromwell, and so on. Supreme Court appointment politics as normal.
Then, there is the bold way. It would involve Justin Trudeau turning his back on the strict regionalism that has predominated since Confederation, in consideration of other values embraced by Canadians in 2016. The most obvious is reconciliation.
If Prime Minister Trudeau wanted to make his mark on the Supreme Court now, nothing is likely to have a more enduring impact than appointing the first Aboriginal justice to that Court. Teaching Aboriginal law for the first time recently has convinced me of the necessity of having an Aboriginal "perspective" on the Court. If he wanted to "do," Prime Minister Trudeau could appoint a top Aboriginal jurist, regardless of where he or she hails from. Such a move could clash with Trudeau's promise of appointing only judges who are functionally bilingual, although many Aboriginal jurists are likely bilingual, just not necessarily in English and French.
Given Aboriginal demographics, a number of such candidates would hail from the west. Trudeau could appoint an Aboriginal jurist from the west in 2016, with the promise of giving Atlantic Canada back its "seat" in 2018, when Chief Justice McLachlin of British Columbia retires. To the delight of the legal profession, there is actually precedent for such a move.
At the end of 1978, Justice Wishart Spence of Ontario retired. Instead of appointing an Ontario judge, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau tapped British Columbia jurist William McIntyre, perhaps hoping the appointment might shore up the Liberals' electoral prospects in the West. Considering that the Liberals won exactly one seat in the 1979 federal election, it is safe to say that was a failed electoral gambit. In 1982, when Alberta justice Ronald Martland stepped down from the Supreme Court, Trudeau replaced him with an Ontario judge: Bertha Wilson – the first woman on the Supreme Court of Canada. Thus he restored order in the force, or at least the historical regional distribution on the high court.
This precedent provides a potential pathway for Justin Trudeau, should he choose to take it. It would be hard for Atlantic Canada to complain: since Confederation they have had more than their fair share of judges on the Supreme Court, including three chief justices.

The Pillbox is very convenient for seniors who begin to have difficulty remembering.
More than 80% of patients forget to take their medication at their normal time.
This causes a problem, because to forget a dose can make the drug less effective, but take subsequent doses too close together increases the risk of side effects.
To avoid losing track of medications, it is useful to separate the pills in a container with small compartments labeled "day" and "night" or "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday" etc.

Top 5: Clever Moments Of 2017
2017 Review 2018 Preview
Greg DeMarco
2017 was a both a history making and a memory making year in professional wrestling, full of "spots" that we will never forget. While some spots are glorifying and death-defying, others should be remembered for the cerebral nature of the spot.
Thus, I present to you 2017's move clever spots, WWE edition!
5. Charlotte Hits Natural Selection On The Ring Apron
Natural Selection, a reverse blockbuster to a kneeling opponent if you will, was Charlotte's finisher before the Figure Eight Leglock came into prominence. At the 2017 Royal Rumble (you'll see this PPV name again), Charlotte used a former finisher in a whole new way. Charlotte hit Natural Selection on the ring apron, which for decades has been referred to by commentary as "the hardest part of the ring" (and this is true), and immediately scored the pin.
The immediacy of the pin was my favorite part–no need to use this as a transition. It sells the brutality of the once-finisher when used on the ring apron. That should, and was, enough to win this particular match.
4. AJ Styles Avoids An RKO
Randy Orton has made a career on one move–the RKO. Once a Vine sensation (RIP), Orton will forever be known for the move that both carries his initials and can be hit…well, you know where he can hit it from.
OUTTA NOWHERE!
So leave it up to AJ Styles, the man most consider to be the very best in the world, to use the most clever of methods to avoid the RKO when facing Randy Orton for his WrestleMania title shot. AJ went for the Phenomenal Forearm, but dropped back down to the apron (again, the hardest part of the ring!) and tricked Randy Orton into slamming his own back against the canvas.
It still wasn't meant to be for Styles, who eats a Pop-Up-RKO moments later and loses the match. But this isn't about winners and losers, it's about cleverness. And AJ was a big winner in that category.
3. Roman Reigns Enters The Royal Rumble At #30
I mean, this was just awesome. The vaunted number 30 spot in the WWE Royal Rumble, and it was occupied by yhe man the internet loves to hate, a man who had already wrestled earlier in the show, and a man who would go on to likely retire The Undertaker.
That man was Roman Reigns.
In the video above you see suggestions of Samoa Joe, Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, and more. But nope–it was Roman Reigns!
The fan reaction for this was priceless, and it all culminated at the RawAfterMania, where the crowd tore into Roman Reigns for an eternity, only to be met with a reply of "It's my yard now!" by The Big Dog himself.
2. The List of KO
The breakup of Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens was an example of good predictability in wrestling. We all knew it was going to happen, but it happened earlier than we expected (likely due to Jericho's schedule), and in a way that we won't ever forget.
And it led to a WrestleMania match that gave us #1…
1. The One Finger Rope Break
Kevin Owens had a banner year, including the headbutt to Vince McMahon, a once-in-a-lifetime showdown with Goldberg, and a match against his idol Chris Jericho at WrestleMania.
And each moment added to his legacy, which is obviously in the early stages of a Hall Of Fame career.
But he also added one of my favorite moments of the year, The One Finger Rope Break.

Bold Prediction For Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt At WWE WrestleMania 34
Top 5: WWE Raw Superstars That Should Go To Smackdown In 2018
Cameron Shank
The brand split has given us two distinct rosters with their own faults. While both shows could stand to mix the rosters up, today we look at five Raw superstars that should come to Smackdown Live within the next year.
5. Apollo Crews (Titus Brand)
Since coming to RAW, Crews was able to find a mentor in Titus O'neil, and did get a few wins under his belt. With Reigns and Lesnar holding both singles titles, the best opportunity for gold lies with the tag team championships, and that doesn't seem probable at this point. A switch to Smackdown Live, not only for Crews, but Titus Brand, would open up opportunities. Smackdown's tag team division is the best it has been in a while, and with a new U.S. champion getting crowned Crews can be a viable challenger for the victor.
4. Bayley
With both Asuka and Paige top contenders for Alexa Bliss' Woman's Championship, and Sasha and Nia waiting in the wings, Bayley doesn't have much she can do. Smackdown Live's Woman's division is in need of new competition, with Becky Lynch and Ruby Riott being the freshest competitors to challenge Charlotte. Reports are coming out that WWE is giving up on Bayley, but a switch to the blue show could open up
3. Samoa Joe
Unless he wins the Intercontinental Championship, there doesn't seem to be anything for Samoa Joe to do on RAW until Roman eventually gets the Universal Championship. Even then the likely candidate to be a worthy challenge to the Big Dog is Braun Strowman. A move to Smackdown Live would give the main event scene a big player heading into WrestleMania and could provide for some memorable dream matches. Joe is one of the few NXT call-ups that still has a good bit of his aura still intact, but moving to SmackdownLive could provide much more prominent role.
2. Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel
While a trade to the blue brand might not do much for the Miztourage, a change of scenery could do them justice. Bo and Axe are two talents most fans believe to be underutilized, as Axel is the son of Curt Henning and Bo is a former NXT Champion. The Smackdown Live tag division is flourishing at the moment, and while the two may not be challenging for the titles, at least Harper and Rowan can have another team to destroy outside of Breezango.
1. Finn Balor
Like Joe, Balor will have to wait a while before getting the chance at one of the two singles titles on Monday nights. A plethora of challengers awaits Roman Reigns with both his I.C. and Universal Championships, and while Balor could be one of those challengers, it is unlikely he will take one of them. A brand change could open up a possible run at AJ Styles, as Balor has a victory over him. Not to mention, like Joe, the plentiful amount of dream matches that could come of this.
Official Rundown: The Chairshot 2017 Match of the Year
Andrew Balaz
All of the voting is done, and we finally know the winner of the Inaugural Chairshot Match of the Year. We'd like to thank everyone who participated across multiple groups, we saw a total of 400 people express their opinion in the results. Each of the five matches brought something a little different to the table, and in most groups we had a difference of merely 3 or 4 votes between first and second place. However, one group tipped the scales significantly for the match that ended up winning.
So let's see where each of the Top 5 ended up in the final rankings:
(t) 5th – The Usos vs The New Day – WWE Hell in a Cell – 17 votes
While many people enjoyed this match, the in ring quality wasn't quite up to par with the other options, as well as people preferring one of the other matches between these two teams. Given the year both teams had, and how The Usos are most people's tag team of the year…tying for 5th in this vote isn't really an insult.
(t) 5th – Katsuhiko Nakajima vs Brian Cage – NOAH Summer Navigation – 17 votes
This match suffered from the lack of overall exposure to the general crowd. Brian Cage's popularity in Lucha Underground helped to put this on some people's radar but, Japanese companies not named New Japan still have issues garnering more fans. This match showcased a lot of Brian Cage's ability not seen on Lucha Underground. So the fact it at least tied for 5th, instead of getting no traction, is a small testament for word of mouth still doing work in the social media age.
3rd – John Cena vs AJ Styles – WWE Royal Rumble – 56 votes
The WWE's Match of the Year, finishes third, with a respectable number of votes. A very good match for WWE standards, had the uphill battle of following Wrestle Kingdom 11, and put up a good fight. Cena ties Ric Flair's record 16 Heavyweight Title reigns with this match, but it sadly didn't measure up to the caliber of our top two matches this year.
2nd – Tyler Bate vs Pete Dunne – NXT Takeover: Chicago – 91 votes
When this match ended and Meltzer's ratings gave it less than 5 Stars, the internet wrestling community collectively lost their minds. NXT as a brand is highly beloved since it's basically the WWE's version of a Indy promotion, with better production values. The match was quite good and even won the vote in a few of the groups we extended the poll into. Definitely a well deserved Top 5 entrant, but still fell to the match that won over many critics and decisively won our vote.
1st – Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega – NJPW Dominion – 219 votes
Was there really any doubt? These two have put on enough classic matches this year to basically have a Top 10 of matches just including them. Not only did this match surpass their first bout, which was Kim Kardashian's backside levels of breaking the internet, it immediately drew comparisons to Steamboat vs Flair thanks to the 60 Minute Broadway, which isn't seen often, much less for the Heavyweight Championship. Regardless of where you lie on your feelings between the best match of the trilogy, or what trilogy is the best, or who the better wrestler is, the main fact is; without these matches capturing your interest, you wouldn't have a basis for argument in the first place.
This vote caps off 2017 nicely as the year of New Japan. It became more visible to the public even before Jericho's announcement and gives fans a plausible number 2 to try to rally behind. Would it be nice to see WWE step up their game a little? Yes it would, but it probably won't happen yet. Should you be hopping on the Japanese Wrestling Hype Train and look into NOAH, Dragon Gate and All Japan?

Q: Catch multiple patterns I am trying to match a string against multiple patterns and store the captures in an array.
The input can be one of the following:
-fnospacebetween
   -f textwithspacebefore
@nospacebetween
  @ textwithspacebefore

The regex should catch the string after -f or @. Spaces are allowed before the -f and @, also between -f or @ and the string .
I thought about using a | splitted regex, but I don't know why it's not catching my input when I use the two regexes in a specific order.
The single case scenario, works as expected:
my $text = '@anystring' ;

if( $text =~ /^\s*\@\s*(\S*)/)
{
    print "\n $1";
}

my $text = '-fanystring' ;

if( $text =~ /^\s*-f\s*(\S*)/)
{
    print "\n $1";
}

But when I try use the two in one single regex, I get an Use of unitialized... :
my $text = '@anystring' ;

if( $text =~ /^\s*-f\s*(\S*)|^\s*\@\s*(\S*)/)
{
    print "\n $1";
}

But with this variant, it works correctly:
my $text = '@anystring' ;
if( $text =~ /^\s*\@\s*(\S*)|^\s*-f\s*(\S*)/)
{
    print "\n1:  $1";
}

Why it matches correctly when the order is switched?

A:
Why it matches correctly when the order is switched?

This regex
/^\s*\@\s*(\S*)|^\s*-f\s*(\S*)/

will capture into either $1 or $2 depending on which alternative matched. But you are only ever printing $1, which is undef if it were the second alternative that matched
I suggest you use this instead, which has only one capture and uses an alternation on only the part of the pattern that is variable
/^\s*(?:\@|-f)\s*(\S*)/

A: Another potential problem with your regex is that it will also match
-f -fanother-flag
-@ -@another-flag

That is, \S* will match any following flag if there is no argument given to the first flag. Better to use \s*([^-]?\S*) if argument is optional, or \s*([^-]\S*) if mandatory. This still assumes the flag argument cannot begin with hyphen.

Hybrid cloud is a term that describes when an organization uses the services of a public cloud provider which can be usually Microsoft Azure, IBM BlueMix… in addition to its private cloud. By having parallel cloud networks accessible through the same architecture, businesses have the ability to utilize the benefits of both, including faster data transfer and increased privacy.
Hybrid networks generally offer more flexibility, scalability and security over other types of hosting, whilst also being able to perform in ways that cloud and traditional hosting can't.
Increased data speeds – hybrid networks can be configured to push essential data through private servers instead of public ones, greatly improving load times and data transfer speeds.
Improved security – Sensitive data can be secured on private servers with many layers of encryption that can only be accessed in house, whilst non-sensitive and publicly-accessible data and applications can be accessed through a public server.
Decreased spending – Utilizing the public cloud for applications that don't require security is likely to be more economical in the long run.
Better cost visibility – Leveraging the power of a public cloud will showcase the exact amount of expenditures your are incurring making it easier to estimate your total cost and therefore estimating the right margin that is more likely to generate profit.
Lowering downtime risk – Most of the time, having both private and public cloud at your disposal means your end customers don't have to worry about downtime.
Improving local network operations – Hybrid hosting also allows you the added advantage of being able to shift resource heavy processes through a separate private or public cloud network, greatly improving local network operations.
As it is known in Microsoft SPLA, SharePoint Server Standard and Enterprise licenses are provided under the Subscriber Access License, which means that each end customer's internal users who can directly or indirectly access the SharePoint Server would need a license. Service Provider will use the software in this case to provide internal users access to content, information, and applications. Therefore, use of SharePoint Server software to provide content, information, and applications that are limited to internal users must be licensed under SharePoint Server SALs.
In contrast and in order to provide SharePoint Server as a Website or Hosted and therefore, allowing an unlimited number of external users to access it, in this case, the licensing scheme would shift from SAL to Processor License. Customer may use the software to provide External Users access to content, information, and applications. Customer may also use the software to provide internal users access to content, information, and applications so long as that same content and information and those same applications are also accessible by External Users.
To run Instances of the server software in the Physical OSE on a Server, you need a license for each physical processor that the Physical OSE uses.
SharePoint Hosting roles are deployed on 1 physical server with 2 physical processors. Therefore, in this case, SharePoint Hosting would require a total of 2 licenses equal to the number of physical processors.
To run Instances of the server software in Virtual OSEs on a Server, you need a license for each virtual processor that each of those Virtual OSEs uses. If a Virtual OSE uses a fraction of a virtual processor, the fraction counts as a full virtual processor.
SharePoint Hosting roles are deployed on 1 Virtual Machine with 8 Virtual Cores. This Virtual Machine is created on a Physical Server with 2 physical processors and 4 Cores per Processor. In this case partner would need 8 (Virtual Cores) / 4 (Cores per Processor) = 2 licenses.

Джеймс ФицДжеймс, първи херцог на Бъруик (, ; * 21август 1670, † 12 юни 1734) е незаконен син на английския крал Джеймс ІІ, който по-късно минава на френска служба и става маршал на Франция.

Младежки години

Джеймс ФицДжеймс е син на Джеймс ІІ и Арабела Чърчил, сестра на бъдещия голям английски генерал херцог Марлборо. Той е роден във френския град Мулен много преди баща му да заеме трона. Учи във френски колежи, включително йезуитски и е възпитан строго в католическата вяра.

Още юноша, той придружава Шарл дьо Лорен (Карл V Лотарингски) във войната с Османската империя и присъства при обсадата на Буда през 1686. На следващата година участва във Втората битка при Мохач, в резултат на което е превърнат от баща си в херцог на Бъруик – най-северното градче в Англия, край устието на река Туийд.

Славната революция
Краткото управление на баща му приключва през 1688 г. с т. нар. Славна революция. Тогава холандският щатхалтер Вилем ІІІ (известен повече като Уилям ІІІ) нахлува в Англия по покана на парламента и влиза в Лондон, а Джеймс ІІ бяга в Ирландия. Синът му го придружава, като взема участие в разразилата се впоследствие война между католици и протестанти. Участва в битката при Бойн, където командва армейска част, свален е от коня и едва не е убит. Поражението принуждава Джеймс ІІ да отплава за Франция, за да търси помощ от Луи ХІV, докато херцогът на Бъруик остава с католическите войски до падането на Лимерик през 1691 г.

На служба при Луи ХІV
Смелостта и безспорните военни заложби на младия човек вече са направили впечатление в Европа. Когато той се появява във Франция, с пълна сила бушува Деветгодишната война. Кралят-слънце веднага го назначава на висок пост в армията си във Фландрия под командата на маршал дьо Люксамбур. Там Бъруик (наричан в новата си родина Бервик) заслужава доверието, което му е оказано. Участва в битката при Щайнкирк и има принос за поражението на Уилям ІІІ. През 1693 г. обаче е пленен при Неервинден и откупен за 30 000 флорина. Заради подкрепата за каузата на баща му английският парламент го лишава от титлите му, въпреки че той остава известен именно като херцог на Бъруик.

По време на Войната за испанското наследство Бъруик командва своя армия във Фландрия (1704), но не води решителни сражения. Скоро след това е прехвърлен на фронта в Италия и успява да превземе Ница. Заради това той е издигнат от Луи ХІV до най-високия военен чин във Франция – маршал (1706). Още същата година се налага да отиде в Испания, където каузата на Бурбоните е поставена под въпрос. Френският кандидат за испанския престол Филип д'Анжу (Фелипе V) е прогонен от Мадрид от англо-португалски войски и моли за помощ. Бъруик успява да го върне в столицата, след което постига най-големия успех в кариерата си – победата над англичаните при Алманса (25 април 1707). Тази битка има големи последици: след нея австрийският претендент Карлос ІІІ (ерцхерцог Карл) е притиснат в Каталония и повече никога не успява да заплаши сериозно позициите на Бурбоните.

Двамата крале отрупват победителя с титли. Фелипе V го прави херцог на Лирия и Херика, а Луи ХІV – херцог на Фиц-Джеймс. Англичанинът е прехвърлен отново във Фландрия, без да успее да повлияе на събитията. Той закъснява да се намеси при поражението на маршал Вандом при Ауденарде, както и при капитулацията на маршал Буфлер в Лил. Така славата му започва да увяхва, но нов шанс за изява идва в края на войната. През 1714 г., когато договорът от Утрехт вече е факт, войските на Бурбоните обсаждат Барселона. Бъруик поема командването на обсадата и я довежда до успешен край. Така цяла Испания пада под властта на Фелипе V. Наградата за маршала е почетният орден на златното руно.

Последни години

През 1715 г. законният наследник на Джеймс ІІ Джеймс-Едуард организира първото въстание на якобитите, което има за цел да възстанови Стюартите на английския престол. Той настойчиво кани полубрат си Бъруик да оглави армията му, защото вече се е прославил като опитен военачалник. Херцогът не само че отказва (заради което якобитите никога не му прощават), но и предупреждава претендента, че каузата му е опасна авантюра. Както се вижда от събитията, той се оказва прав.

Междувременно възниква съвсем нова ситуация. Властта във Франция попада у регента Филип ІІ Орлеански. Фелипе V недоволства, тъй като има по-големи права да управлява от името на малкия наследник на Краля-слънце, Луи ХV. Той заговорничи против регента, затова когато Испания напада Сардиния и Сицилия, отнети ѝ от Австрия и Савоя, Франция не я подкрепя. Тя влиза в съюз с Англия, Холандия и Австрия и така започва войната на четворния съюз. Една от мерките да се спре Испания е френското нахлуване в северните ѝ провинции. Именно Бъруик го осъществява.

В началото на войната за полското наследство (1733 – 1738) Бъруик е сред най-авторитетните военачалници на Франция. Той поема командването на рейнската армия и превзема град Кел. На 12 юни 1734 г. обаче, по време на обсадата на Филипсбург, загива от оръдеен снаряд.

Семейство
Херцогът на Бъруик се жени два пъти:

 за Хонора Бърк (1674 – 1698), вдовица на якобитския генерал Патрик Сарсфилд. Сватбата се състои през 1695 г. в Сен Жермен, а детето на Сарсфилд Джеймс Бъруик признава като свой син. Те имат и друг син – Джеймс-Франсис, който наследява титлите на баща си.
 за Ан Бълкли, дъщеря на човека, грижил се за домакинството на Джеймс ІІ. Тази сватба става през 1700 г. в Париж и води до дълъг и щастлив брак. От него се раждат 13 деца: осем синове и пет дъщери.

HOWTO: turn a student into a software developer
David Humphrey | 17 Feb 2010
Yesterday I was frustrated. I'm teaching my open source Mozilla courses, and I happened to look at our blog planet. Right now we've got more than 30 students working on various open source projects, and to look at their blogs, you'd think they were all on holidays. I view blogging as a barometer for development activity. "I don't have anything to write about" is synonymous with "I am not doing anything worth writing about." I went around the room and asked my students why they hadn't done the coding I'd assigned (I asked them to modify something simple in Firefox). The answers were weak.
I've been teaching long enough to know that students often do the minimum required to get a grade. And while that might be a reasonable way to get grades, it's not going to turn them into software developers. Software is hard. I was commenting to Chris yesterday that a computer is basically just a box built on a system of reason you don't understand yet. Programming is mostly about overcoming your own limitations. It's creative, problem solving work, and it is something you have to spend a lot of time to get the hang of before you're any good.
Some of my colleagues talk about students either getting it or not getting it. I'm not sure I believe this. I think the right way to think about this is that there are students who push themselves, and those who don't. I know some developers who seem to just be built for the task of thinking through these problems. I also know that they've worked really hard to get to this place, and that it's easy to confuse their ability now for something innate vs. something acquired. Sure, you have to have certain qualities in order to get there; but the one we don't talk about enough, which I think is the most important, is that you have to be willing to put in the time and push yourself.
While I was getting after my students, I pulled up a favourite essay of mine, Peter Norvig's Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years. He's writing about a phenomenon I don't see as much today--the "Learn X in 21 Days!" books. What I wanted to show my students, though, is how well what he's saying maps onto open source development. Here are some examples:
Get interested in programming, and do some because it is fun. Make sure that it keeps being enough fun so that you will be willing to put in ten years.
Talk to other programmers; read other programs. This is more important than any book or training course.
Program. The best kind of learning is learning by doing. To put it more technically, "the maximal level of performance for individuals in a given domain is not attained automatically as a function of extended experience, but the level of performance can be increased even by highly experienced individuals as a result of deliberate efforts to improve." (p. 366) and "the most effective learning requires a well-defined task with an appropriate difficulty level for the particular individual, informative feedback, and opportunities for repetition and corrections of errors." (p. 20-21) The book _ Cognition in Practice: Mind, Mathematics, and Culture in Everyday Life_ is an interesting reference for this viewpoint.
If you want, put in four years at a college (or more at a graduate school). This will give you access to some jobs that require credentials, and it will give you a deeper understanding of the field, but if you don't enjoy school, you can (with some dedication) get similar experience on the job. In any case, book learning alone won't be enough. "Computer science education cannot make anybody an expert programmer any more than studying brushes and pigment can make somebody an expert painter" says Eric Raymond, author of The New Hacker's Dictionary. One of the best programmers I ever hired had only a High School degree; he's produced a lot of great software, has his own news group, and made enough in stock options to buy his own nightclub.
Work on projects with other programmers. Be the best programmer on some projects; be the worst on some others. When you're the best, you get to test your abilities to lead a project, and to inspire others with your vision. When you're the worst, you learn what the masters do, and you learn what they don't like to do (because they make you do it for them).
Work on projects after other programmers. Be involved in understanding a program written by someone else. See what it takes to understand and fix it when the original programmers are not around. Think about how to design your programs to make it easier for those who will maintain it after you.
Learn at least a half dozen programming languages. Include one language that supports class abstractions (like Java or C++), one that supports functional abstraction (like Lisp or ML), one that supports syntactic abstraction (like Lisp), one that supports declarative specifications (like Prolog or C++ templates), one that supports coroutines (like Icon or Scheme), and one that supports parallelism (like Sisal).
Notice how your grades aren't really what matters here? Some of the best programmers I know never went past high school, and some of them went to Harvard. It turns out that there is something other than grades that makes you good at this stuff. I honestly believe that involvement in open source for students is one of the most critical things to doing what he describes. How do you do some of this stuff without open source? How do you work on projects with other programmers if you can't get hired somewhere (no experience? no job)? How do you get to work with programmers who are better than you if you don't know any? How do you get to work on large code bases after someone else has written them if you can't access them? How do you learn half-a-dozen languages without a need for them all? How do you learn how to read code without code to read? Open source might not be the only way to do what he describes, but it is the most readily available way for large numbers of students.
The last thing that happened in my day before I went home was that another student (not in my class) came to see me to ask about how to fix his Firefox debug build. He came to me a while ago looking for a bug he could do in Mozilla. "I want to learn, what do you suggest I work on?" I gave him a non-trivial C++ bug in Mozilla's XPCOM system that is causing some strange crashes. Since then he's taught himself a lot, started to ask some useful questions, and gotten underway on his 10 years to becoming a software developer.
What is necessary to get students to do this kind of work? They have to want it. They have to push themselves. There's not much you can do to make them do it, since no course lasts 10 years. It's not that there are those who are good at this and those who aren't. There are those who push themselves and those who don't make the time. Want to get good at this stuff? What are you doing about it?

In spite of being a hottest season of the year, kids like it most as they get summer vacation to enjoy in many ways. Fortunately, we had bought our tickets two days earlier, so we went straight to the platform. If you've got some Irish in your ancestry, it's a good time to send a greeting card to the friends and family that are celebrating this holiday with you. After that, I might go swimming with my family. It was where I had first. Though some of them are not very healthy but having unhealthy items once in a while is acceptable, and I love summer for offering me these delicious smoothies.
We have lots of activities in the summer, we can go swimming visit our friends and all kinds of sports. Winter, for example, is full of celebrations, presents and snow. My favorite Season Winter is my favorite time during the year because the low temperature in the weather usually brings snow, and snow brings many pleasurable moments for a nine year old, and to be able to play in the snow on any given winter is certainly a high point.

This is the day I can officially get into the Christmas spirit, having solid reasoning to back up my excitement when Thanksgiving-rights activists of the world tell me to wait for Turkey Day. But as for me, I have a lot of beautiful memories about winter.
There are some advantages as well as disadvantages of the summer season. Heat waves and spikes in temperature make this season excessively hot weather which creates number of problems to both, people and wildlife. Some people dislike winter because they think that there is no fun in that season because everything is covered by snow and the weather is cold. We also get watermelon, papaya and other juicy fruits. Of course, that extends into the realm of storytelling, too. Also photos of a little child enjoying the first days of spring, when the ice on the lake is melted.

During this season nature is an absolute wonder to see, Thanksgiving holiday occurs at this time, and the weather is perfect for many outdoor activities. Winter, spring, summer and fall, each, in their own way, affect various aspects of our lives.
One of the reasons i enjoy winter is because of the beautiful snow and all the activities you can do with it. The fresh, cool air--with a breeze, possibly carrying with it a hint of the smell of rain or snow. We love to eat them even children also love to pick them from the trees.

Environmental groups can't stop pipeline construction
Scott Condon
ASPEN, Colorado " Pitkin County and a coalition of environmental groups failed to get a temporary injunction to block a natural gas exploration company from constructing a pipeline through roadless areas of western Colorado.
A federal judge on Wednesday denied a motion for the injunction.
"The plaintiffs have not demonstrated a substantial likelihood that they will prevail eventually on the merits of their roadless rule or their National Environmental Protection Act claim," ruled U.S. District Judge Robert Blackburn in Denver.
The decision clears the way for work on the pipeline to start this month. Pitkin County officials fear the construction of that pipeline could trigger development of gas wells in western Pitkin County, outside of Carbondale. No new production wells have been drilled in Pitkin County since the gas boom started earlier this decade. However,
thousands of acres of public lands have been leased to gas companies.
Wilderness Workshop, the oldest grassroots environmental group in the Roaring Fork
Valley, is among the plaintiffs teamed with Pitkin County.
"It's disappointing, of course," Wilderness Workshop Executive Director Sloan
Shoemaker said of the ruling. "We're considering what our options are,"
The environmental coalition and Pitkin County filed a lawsuit in March against the
U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management over their approval of the Bull
Mountain Pipeline in Garfield County. The plaintiffs claimed the agencies violated
federal law by approving a pipeline, which will require roads for construction, in a
roadless area. A Texas firm called SGI Interests wants to build the pipeline through
three roadless areas of national forest.
The federal agencies claimed that the pipeline would require temporary construction
areas rather than roads, so there was no violation of the roadless rule. Blackburn
ruled in their favor on that point.
The environmental groups and Pitkin County also argued that the pipeline would
clear the way for more gas wells to be developed on public lands. They claimed the
agencies didn't do any analysis of the environmental consequences of those new
But Blackburn ruled that the pipeline was viable to serve existing wells. It will not
automatically trigger drilling of new wells, he determined.
Pitkin County Assistant Attorney Chris Seldin said county officials feel it is much more
likely gas wells will be developed if the pipeline is built. SGI holds 13 gas leases on
17,170 acres in Pitkin County, Shoemaker said. All those leases are within the White
River National Forest.
The pipeline itself doesn't enter Pitkin County, but it would connect to existing
pipelines. The Bull Mountain Pipeline would be 25.5 miles long and connect to a
larger pipeline running near Interstate 70.
The judge concluded in his ruling that the plaintiffs "will suffer some irreparable
injury" from construction of the 8 miles of the pipeline through roadless areas. "The
100-foot wide right-of-way will be stripped of trees and other vegetation and graded
to accommodate construction vehicles," his ruling said. "Nine acres of spruce/fir old
growth and 29 acres of aspen old growth will be removed, and generally trees will
not be permitted to grow in the pipeline right-of-way."
That work could result in greater risk of erosion and turn land that is suitable as lynx
habitat into unsuitable, the judge acknowledged. However, he said there was also a
public interest in the construction of the pipeline and that SGI's economic interests
would be harmed if the work didn't progress.
"I conclude that the balance of harms in this case is roughly a wash," the judge wrote.
His denial of the temporary injunction doesn't eliminate the lawsuit. However, the
pipeline could be finished by the time the litigation is resolved. Seldin said the
attorneys for the plaintiffs hadn't decided as of Thursday morning if they will appeal
the decision.

Arizona Sheriff's Deputy Under Investigation After Video Surfaces Him of Tackling Teenage Quadruple Amputee
Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on November 15, 2019 CommentsComments (0)
An incident between an Arizona sheriff's deputy and a 15-year-old quadruple amputee is now under investigation.
The incident occurred in September at a group home in the Tucson area. Another teen, a 16-year-old who had been eating cereal, recorded the violent interaction on his phone. The footage was sent to KOLD News 13 from the Pima County Public Defender's Office.
Apparently, the 15-year-old boy kicked over a trash can and verbally threatened a worker, leading a Pima County Sheriff's deputy to arrive at the group home.
In the eight-minute footage, the deputy is seen towering over the teen, who reportedly wound up at the home after he was abandoned by his family. The deputy shouts at the teen and swears at him while the young man, who has no limbs, sits in a corner by the refrigerator. That followed the deputy wrestling the teen to the floor and cursing at him.
Afterward, the deputy arrested the 16-year-old who recorded the incident. Both teens were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct. They were booked into juvenile jail in the case, which is being prosecuted by the Pima County Attorney's Office.
"I would be horrified if an officer treated my children this way," said Megan Page, chief assistant to Pima County Public Defender Joel Feinman. "And these kids are already in the traumatic situation of being in [Department of Child Safety] custody and they're not even in a stable home environment. So I think it's absolutely horrific."

When the footage was presented by the news station to the PCSD, the internal affairs department, which had previously been unaware of the footage, reacted equivocally.
"It's difficult to really predict but obviously there are a number of outcomes that could occur following an internal affairs investigation," said Byron Gwaltney of the sheriff's office.
But for Feinman, who said the probe could take up to two weeks, he says rarely seen videos such as these serve as a teachable moment.
"Men with badges should not be acting this way," he told the news station. "Men and women who do act this way should not have badges and guns."
Meanwhile, strong reactions from the public have poured out online.
"That's just awful! The Deputy needs to be fired and prosecuted."
"I hope people realise that there is no justification for this period. The one one young man has no limbs, so where's the threat? And the other young man put his cereal down and was following orders, so why did his face have to get pushed into the wall? Law enforcement has got to do better. People are tired of justice not being served, and are going to start resorting to street justice."
"I don't feel safe with this deputy in my state he better see prison time."

The Ibarapa are a Yoruba people group located in the Southwestern corner of Oyo State. The name of the group is derived from a local cultivar of the melon plant, known locally as Egusi Ibara, which was historically acknowledged by neighboring peoples such as the Egbas, Ibadans and Oyos to be extensively cultivated in the area.

Geography

The Ibarapa area falls within latitudes 70.15ꞌ N and 70.55ꞌ N and longitudes 30E and 30.30ꞌ E. It is located approximately 100 km north of the coast of lagos, and about 95 km west of the Oyo state capital and neighboring city of Ibadan. They border Yorubas of Onko extraction to the North (Iwajowa, Kajola and Iseyin LGAs) and Yorubas of Oyo extraction to the East (Ibadan). The Yewas or Egbados to the West, and the Egbas to the South.

The area is approximately 2,496 km² in geographical size, which is about 8.77% of Oyo State, and consists mostly of rolling savannah with forests situated along the southern border and in isolated patches along river courses such as the Ogun. The natural vegetation was originally rainforest but that has been mostly transformed into derived type savanna as a result of several centuries of slash & burn agricultural practices.
Most of the land lies at elevations ranging between 120 and 200 meters above sea level, but rocky inselbergs and outcrops can be seen rising to 340 meters (approx 1,115 ft).

History
The Ibarapa people are said to have migrated into the area, either as dissidents of the Old Oyo empire, during the periods of constant internecine warfare between the different Yoruba states, as well as refugees escaping the transatlantic  and trans-Saharan slave raiding business of the day. The Tapa segment of the population is said to have been formed by the Jihad ridden Nupe refugees from the northern Niger, who had lost their traditional state to Fula jihadists. The predominant occupation of the people is farming.

Post 1960
Shortly after the dissolution of the old Western region, and the creation of the new Oyo, Ogun and Ondo states, some Ibarapa demanded that their communities be excised from Oyo and merged with Ogun. Those who favoured the merger said most Ibarapa historically hail from their Egba neighbours, and that they stood a better chance of rapid development in Ogun, which had just Four divisions, unlike Oyo which had a massive Twelve. The pro-Oyo  elements amongst the Ibarapas denied any ancestral links with the Egbas, and that only one of the six quarters in the Igbo-ora township descend from the Egbas. in addition, they pointed to the fact that never in their history have they been administered jointly with, or from Abeokuta. The commission later found out that the siting of the local police divisional headquarter in the town of Eruwa was the root cause of the demands, with those on the east favouring a merger with Ogun, while those on the west were satisfied with the status quo.
Eventually, it was decided that Ibarapa land remained where it was (Oyo State), and this was the final resolution accepted by the federal government in 1976.

Ibarapa towns and Villages
Ibarapa land is traditionally made up of 7 principal towns known as the Ibarapa Meje (Ibarapa Seven), and their surrounding villages and farmsteads. These towns include Igangan, Eruwa, Aiyete, Tapa, Idere, Igbo-Ora, and Lanlate.

Igangan, Tapa and Aiyete are in Ibarapa North local government area, Idere and Igbo-Ora are in Ibarapa Central, while Lanlate and Eruwa are located in Ibarapa East local government. The three local governments were created by the federal government of Nigeria authorities in 1996 when Ibarapa East was carved out from the old Ibarapa Local Government while Ibarapa Central and North were carved out of the former Ifeloju Local Government area.

The seven principal towns can be subdivided further, based on the villages that are organized around each of them. In totality, about 120 different villages litter the landscape.

Twinning among The Ibarapa
In the 60's, Professor PPS Nylander, obstetrician and gynaecologist conducted a series of research into the phenomenon of twinning and multiple birth in Ibarapa district. He found that the Yoruba of Ibarapa had the highest twinning rates in the world (45.1 per 1000 live births) and the twins were usually of the fraternal (dizygotic) type. This meant that the women were having multiple ovulations/egg releases in their menstrual cycles, and could be triggered by environmental factors. He further suggested these factors might be in the local yam being consumed by the people in the area.
