What hiring looks like right now: Best practices from Hipcamp, Sonder and Greenhouse
Distributed hiring & work
The world of recruiting is always in flux. Companies grow and contract, and hiring needs shift as a result. But at this exact moment, most of us are facing unprecedented change and uncertainty. In our recent webinar, Great hiring in 2020: Best practices for recruiters and hiring managers, we reflected on both the timely and the timeless aspects of recruiting. Panelists Khang Tran, Head of Engineering at Hipcamp, Joeri Leemans, Technical Recruiter at Sonder, and Alexis Tissian, Technical Recruiter at Greenhouse, shared best practices for recruiters and hiring managers, both in response to today's situation and in general.
We'll recap a few highlights from the webinar here and address a few bonus questions from the audience that we weren't able to answer live.
Curious to hear the whole conversation? Watch the on-demand webinar here.
What are some universal pain points for hiring managers and recruiters?
As Head of Engineering, Khang finds that there are many friction points throughout the hiring process. Getting to candidates when they're open to hearing about a new role, seeing them through the recruiting process and competing with other companies are some of his biggest challenges. That's why recruiter and hiring manager partnership is critical. Khang says, "You have to get that right or you won't be able to close candidates or get them through the door."
From the recruiter's perspective, a lack of clarity on the ideal candidate profile can be a challenge. Joeri says, "Often a hiring manager won't know exactly what they're looking for and the company will end up hiring someone for a role who may be a little different from what you were looking for initially." He recommends starting your search widely and getting plenty of feedback from your hiring manager early on – including what they're not looking for in candidates – to help you get aligned as quickly as possible.
What are the necessary steps for recruiters and hiring managers to make sure they're set up for success?
Alexis shares that all first-time hiring managers at Greenhouse go through one-on-one training with a member of the recruiting team. it covers general principles like what it means to be a hiring manager and what's expected as well as tactical tips like how to use Greenhouse. The recruiter also provides a rundown of the different meetings the hiring manager will need to attend like role kickoffs, weekly updates and team debriefs.
Joeri agrees that it's important to establish common ground: "The first step is setting clear expectations and establishing a relationship with the hiring manager." He recommends discussing what you can expect from one other and sharing your preferred communication channels. And remember that not everything is set in stone: "Make small tweaks as you go along to make the process run more smoothly."
When it comes to data, which metrics have been most helpful?
Joeri looks at conversion rates for each pipeline stage to optimize the process. For example, if you have a large percentage of candidates passing the phone screen but a significantly smaller percentage of candidates passing the next stage (whether that's a take-home test or hiring manager interview), you can investigate further. Maybe you need to adjust your phone screen interview questions or align with the interviewer on how they're assessing candidates. One Greenhouse report Joeri finds especially helpful is the Interviewer calibration report. Based on what you learn in this report, Joeri says, "you can put together stronger interview panels and provide training to those who are not as aligned."
Alexis recommends looking at Candidate quality by source reports in Greenhouse to reveal where your most qualified candidates came from, pass-through rates to see how candidates moved through your pipeline and candidate survey results to get a sense of candidate satisfaction with your process and identify areas for improvement.
Like many recruiters, Khang finds the funnel a useful way of thinking about how candidates move through the hiring process. He regularly reviews the conversion rates at each stage of the funnel to get a sense of how much time members of the engineering team will need to set aside for interviews. He says, "Knowing the volume and conversion and knowing your hiring target, you can budget how many hours you need to set aside for engineers to interview. Understanding those capacity needs is important."
How do you re-create the candidate experience when interviewing remotely?
You won't be able to deliver the exact energy of the office in a virtual interview, but you can still look for ways to bring personality to the experience, says Khang. He recommends adding some structure to the "lunchtime" portion of the interview. For example, have team members play a game like two truths and a lie with candidates as a way to bring the atmosphere of the office into a video interview.
Are candidates more or less responsive when working from home? Is one communication channel better in this setting?
Alexis finds that email is still the best way of communicating with candidates, especially for initial outreach. Once you've opened up the lines of communication with a candidate, you can always ask them if another channel works better. Khang has found that texting can be extremely efficient, but only when used sparingly. After his first call with a candidate, he'll send a follow-up text to thank them. And if he ever needs a quick response, he'll send a text since "email tends to get crowded."
Bonus question: How do you regularly leverage hiring managers to help build out interview kits for individual jobs?
Alexis suggests sending an email after your initial kick-off meeting with action items for both the recruiter and hiring manager. She also recommends building out the interview kit as much as possible before passing it off to the hiring manager. You can copy kits from past related jobs or older jobs. Alexis says, "Give them something to work with so you set them up for success."
Khang believes the most critical piece of interviewing is the scorecard, which represents an objective view of what success looks like. He says, "Work closely with your hiring manager to flesh out all the things that matter for a job, i.e. all the dimensions by which a candidate will be assessed." Next you can work on the target profile and interview sessions that will help you assess the dimensions you defined in your scorecard. Over time, as you conduct debriefs, it'll become apparent which dimensions matter, which ones don't and which ones are missing. "As a recruiter," Khang says, "you should continually challenge hiring managers on refining the scorecards or interview process in order to identify the best candidates."
Bonus question: How do you go about doing market research for a role before your kickoff meeting with a hiring manager?
Joeri recommends using LinkedIn Recruiter for your market research. He says, "The purpose of doing job market research is to A) identify good places to look for this role and B) come up with a rough estimate of time to hire to set expectations with the hiring manager." Estimating what the recruiting funnel will look like and thinking about the volume of inflow you expect can help. Joeri says doing some quick LinkedIn searches and seeing what kind of results show up is a good way to get a sense of which tactics to use: "If only a dozen profiles show up in your search results, you may want to set up a 'send on behalf of' (SOBO) sequence and organize referral jams in the beginning. If thousands of profiles show up, these things may not be needed and regular sourcing will do the job."
Bonus question: How should recruiters and hiring managers work together to ensure diversity in the hiring process?
At Greenhouse, Alexis says, "We talk about diversity in the hiring process in the kickoff meeting before even building out the job." Recruiters and hiring managers will define what diversity looks like for their specific team and department, consider job boards and other tools that will benefit their team and discuss ways for the hiring manager to stay involved. Once the role is open, Alexis recommends checking in regularly to track how candidates are moving through the pipeline. Do you notice any red flags? Are there any areas where unintentional bias might be creeping in?
Bonus question: Any tips for improving a "broken" recruiter/hiring manager relationship?
"It all depends on what way things are broken," says Khang. Generally, though, he recommends having a very open conversation that you approach with a sincere desire to work through things. If that isn't enough, you will need to escalate, which Khang says works better after you've already tried to mend things directly.
The most common cause of recruiter/hiring manager difficulty is a misalignment around what success looks like, each person's roles and responsibilities or a combination of both. To overcome this, Khang says, "I recommend coming together with your hiring partner and sharing what success means to you. In the process, you'll likely gain perspective, empathy and hopefully more trust. Once you've achieved a shared reality of what success means, then it's about being very clear about who is accountable for what." Ultimately, Khang believes that "even though there are clear area owners, you'll both be more successful when you go beyond your boundaries to fill gaps and watch each other's blindspots."

Waratahs to hold Vickerman memorial in South Africa
By	Rugby News | Mar 01 2017
The Waratahs will be holding their own memorial in South Africa for Dan Vickerman, a man who was a mentor and teammate for many of the NSW players.
While few who played with him in Super Rugby are still at the club, many were connected with the 63-Test lock through Shute Shield club, Sydney Uni.
Waratahs halfback and former Uni player, Nick Phipps, said a handful of players had considered staying in Australia until after the memorial but instead opted to go to Johannesburg with the rest of the squad and stage their own private tribute.
"We'll be doing something (here)," he said.
"Five or six of us had a chat to Daryl (Waratahs coach Daryl Gibson) and figured out the earliest we could get back here would be Thursday afternoon.
Knowing the big fella, he'd prefer us to be over here working hard, but we'll do something over here, tomorrow or the next day.
"It'll be a good experience for us, give us a little bit of closure. There's only so much you can do.
"Every day's another step for a lot of players, we want to make sure we respect him in the best way possible."
Vickerman's memory has already been honoured by Sydney Uni, with the club replacing the number five jersey with a big 'V', in tribute to the 37-year-old.
Australia's Super Rugby teams observed a moment's silence for Vickerman in their round one matches and the Waratahs donned black armbands against the Force.
Phipps said the team's focus was to try and be there for each other, with each person affected, and grieving, in their own way.
"The silver lining is it's brought the squad quite close together.
"(We need to be) making sure we're looking after our best friends."
Dan Vickerman's public memorial will be held at Sydney Uni Oval. 1 on Wednesday, at 2pm.
A fund has been set up to help support Dan's wife Sarah and two young sons, Joseph and Xavier.

After revealing Daft Punk's sampling secrets on Discovered, the folks over at Rapster Records are setting their sights on Massive Attack. On February 17, the label has announced it will release Protected, a 12-track comp of songs sampled by the long-running Bristol trip-hoppers during the course of their career.
Amongst the source songs you'll find Wally Badarou's "Mambo," which went on to inspire Massive Attack's Blue Lines track "Daydreaming," as well as numbers such as Al Green's "I'm Glad You're Mine," Rufus And Chaka Khan's "Any Love" and "Ike's Mood" by Isaac Hayes. Also included are a few original versions of tracks Massive Attack straight-up covered, like John Holt's "Man Next Door," which was redone on Mezzanine, and Lewin Bones Lock's "Five Man Army Dub" and William De Vaughn's "Be Thankful For What You've Got," both of which were redone on Blue Lines.

Novels for wannabe civil servants
by Sal Robinson
Turkey is the London Book Fair's focus country this week, and the wheels of media are correspondingly turning, with a "blagger's guide to Turkish literature" in the Independent ("blagger" presumably means "smooth talker," but you never know with those crazy Brits and their constantly evolving, slang-heavy, illogically-spelled version of English), an article in Publishing Perspectives on the under-representation of Turkish writers who write in other languages, such as Kurdish, at the fair, and the full slate of events up at the LBF's website, including panels like "Literature and Film in Turkey: Competitors or Collaborators?" (during which I hope some filmmakers and writers seriously duke it out) and "Poetry and Crime" (ditto the duking).
But perhaps most interesting so far is Kaya Genç's piece at the PEN Atlas blog about the ideological roots of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Turkish literature, specifically the books he was assigned to read in school and that he came to hate, describing them as of interest to "almost no one (apart from wannabe civil servants)." The writers in question were civil servants themselves, well-placed officials in the Ottoman Empire, and, in Genç's account, they realized the power their writing could have in influencing a country in transition, as Turkey went through the Tanzimat, a period of top-down centralization and modernization of the empire. The realization was borne out, not only in the legions of bored schoolchildren forced to read novels that woodenly laid out good and bad paths through modernization, but also in enusing laws and "Freedom Courts" that punished any form of dissent.
Genç writes that the prominence of this school of writing also meant that great and intriguing swathes of earlier Turkish literature were not taught.
In those classes there was almost no reference to great humorists of the Middle Ages, like Nasreddin Hoca, nor were we acquainted with the works of Jalal ad-Dīn Muhammad Rumi, the influential mystic and poet. We didn't know much about Divan poetry, the elaborately composed verse poems that existed for almost half a millennium, and great folkloric poets like Yunus Emre were not properly studied.
This is a mouthwatering group of writers and forms, and the disparity between what was taught and what was missed can in fact be demonstrated with a visual aid. Who do you want to read more
this guy OR this guy
Namık Kemal and Nasreddin, respectively. And it's the Nasreddins of the world that, from a curious outsider's perspective, turn a generalized interest in a country's literature into the thing we're always looking for as readers: the great discovery, the great love affair, the new and besotted Nasreddin enthusiast, the kinship across time and space and donkeys. Let's hope the LBF helps more of this happen.

3 Successful Women Share Their Work Failures—and What They Learned From Their Mistakes
We all make mistakes at work, but even a career flub can be turned into a triumph. Three successful women tell how they did just that.
By Mara Miller
There's a reason we hate screwing up: It sucks. "Failure can shake your whole sense of self-worth," says Jack Matson, a professor emeritus at Pennsylvania State University and pioneer of a course known as Failure 101. The class's signature assignment: creating "failure resumes" that challenge students to list their not-so-shining moments so they can learn that uh-ohs may lead to eventual wins.
Yes, wins. "You need mistakes for innovation," says Cyndi Burnett, Ed.D., an assistant professor at the International Center for Studies in Creativity at Buffalo State. "Women often struggle with a fear of failure because we tend to internalize mistakes, while men shrug and move on," she says. "But if you realize the benefits of messing up, your career will go in exciting directions."
We got three brave women to reflect on instances in which they dropped the ball at work. Read on for expert advice on how to turn your own similar mishaps around.
Some names and identifying details have been changed.
PREYA
32, Irvine, CA
About Me: I spent a decade in graphic design and advertising before founding Elli Quark, a company that makes a spoonable fresh cheese similar to Greek yogurt.
Failure Experience: In college, I stopped after an associate's degree even though my gut told me I'd need more education.
"I hit a ceiling and realized I'd never earn more or move up without a better degree," says Preya, who started working toward her bachelor's via online courses. Three years later, she got her diploma.
I chose business associates who seemed great, but I later found out they didn't respect me. One guy fell asleep while I was giving a presentation! I had to start over with new people.
His snores were a wake-up call. "These colleagues didn't care what I was saying," Preya says. "I made sure to find a much better fit the next time." Sometimes you take what ends up feeling like a step in the wrong direction, says Burnett. But don't be fooled: "We never really go backward," she says. As long as the action moves you in the direction you want to go in the long-term, it's progress.
At a first meeting with a potential retailer for Elli Quark, I was super nervous because I didn't have experience with that kind of networking. I got flustered and dropped my business cards all over the floor on the way out.
After a botch, figure out exactly what you can do to prevent floundering again, says Burnett. For Preya, it was clear: Work on calming her new-businessperson nerves. "I practiced talking about my product at home, in front of the mirror and my husband," says Preya. "Now, I close my eyes and take 10 slow breaths before walking into the room to clear any jitters."
CAROLYN — 42, Boston, MA
About Me: Former investment banker; now a VP at a large private bank
Failure Experience: I e-mailed the client...and accidentally cc'd the client's potential investors, who were supposed to remain anonymous until the deal was settled. I was mortified.
If you're too fried to do a good job—Carolyn was often in the office till 4 a.m., running on caffeine fumes—take time to recharge. If that's not an option, ask for help. It's not a sign of weakness, but of wisdom, says Burnett. "Before you hit send on a critical e-mail, have someone else read it and reopen all the attachments to make sure they work!" says Carolyn.
The first time I was calculating a major deal, I overlooked some key costs and pitched a wildly inaccurate number to the client. It was pretty much the worst mistake I could have made.
When you're new to a task...well, you might be lousy at it, says Matson. "Divorce beginner's mistakes from your self-esteem," he says. "Mastering something hard right away just isn't realistic." Carolyn's supervisor cut her slack as a newbie; whether or not your boss is understanding, ask what you can do to make sure it doesn't happen again. And pledge that it won't.
I led a project that was, within months, clearly failing. Not wanting to admit defeat, I ignored the warning signs and stuck with it...until it collapsed.
Don't get stuck in what Matson calls "slow, stupid failure" mode. If you know something's doomed, the sooner you admit it, the better, he says. You'll have a head start in your new direction, instead of wasting time in denial. "This was a major lesson in knowing when to swallow your pride and concede that something isn't working," says Carolyn. A few years later, the lesson paid off: She decided the crazy intense world of investment banking wasn't sustainable for her and left for a much better fit at a private bank.
LESLIE — 36, Dallas, TX
About Me: Television director who worked my way up to one of the biggest markets in the country
Failure Experience: While adjusting to a faster pace at a bigger station, I directed a week's worth of sloppy shows that were riddled with little errors. A colleague commented that I deserved to be directing in the boonies. Ouch.
Mini mistakes can be good for you, says Matson, because if you iron them out early, they help prevent bigger errors later. "That's one of the major benefits of failure," he says. "Avoiding more-devastating failure." "I started reading scripts and practicing cues dozens of times before airdates," says Leslie. "My shows were soon much cleaner."
When applying for a job as senior director, I was passed over in favor of another candidate and offered a lower position instead.
If you miss out on a promotion, it's no faux pas to ask how to get it next time. It's also fair game, says Matson, to call the hiring manager about an external job you fell short of; just say you want to know what it takes to nab a similar job in the future. Or do some sleuthing: Keep tabs on the company's website to see who got the gig, then compare their qualifications with yours. "I stuck it out, proved myself, and got the senior director job as soon as the first guy left," says Leslie.
I made a bad first impression with the station's quasi-celeb news anchor when I bolted out of the control room and ran—literally—into him. Even though I apologized, he told my boss I was in competent and kept bringing it up. It totally shook my confidence.
Conflict can open your eyes to a colleague's true disposition, says Matson. If you've apologized for your error and there's no cease-fire, ask your boss for advice. It brings her into the loop without painting you as a tattletale. Leslie worked on growing a thicker skin—with major payoffs. "I was much more confident with the next big-shot anchor we had," she says. When he confronted her over a miscommunication, "I stuck to my guns and clarified the situation."
Quit the Blame Game
When you mess up, it's tempting to point fingers. But not so fast: Research shows passing the buck may actually be contagious.
Watching someone else shift responsibility for an error ups people's likelihood of doing the same themselves, reports a Journal of Experimental Psychology study.
So, unless you want an office full of not-me's eyeing you next time, own your flub from the get-go.

Vaccines for women age 50 and older
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol10no11/04-0469.htm
Discusses how preventing illnesses and deaths for older populations (most of whom are women) through the use of vaccines is a leading public health challenge. Acknowledges that our understanding about how age and sex affect the immune system is limited, and basic and translational research aimed at improving vaccines and immune responses of older persons is needed. Argues that fully implementing current vaccine recommendations, particularly those for influenza and pneumococcal vaccines, can save thousands of lives and prevent illnesses in persons over 50 years of age. (See Details)
Globalization and infectious diseases in women
Discuses how women have an enhanced vulnerability to disease, especially if they are poor. Argues that the health hazards of being female are widely underestimated. Explains that economic and cultural factors can limit women's access to clinics and health workers. Shows that, globally, the leading causes of death among women are HIV/AIDS, malaria, complications of pregnancy and childbirth, and tuberculosis. (See Details)

Addresses concerns about the impact of communicable diseases around the globe as communicable diseases, new and unknown, continue to thrive, kill, maim and surprise the masses.
Reforming health protection and promotion in Canada: time to act
http://www.parl.gc.ca/37/2/parlbus/commbus/senate/com-e/soci-e/rep-e/repfinnov03-e.htm
Examines and reports on the infrastructure and governance of the public health system in Canada, as well as on Canada's ability to respond to public health emergencies arising from outbreaks of infectious disease. (See Details)
Women and infectious diseases
Details how infectious diseases pose an especially formidable threat to women. Argues that women are at higher risk and have more severe course of illness than men for many reasons, including biologic differences, social inequities, and restrictive cultural norms. Concludes that efforts to recognize and reduce health disparities among women have particular relevance for global health. (See Details)
Barriers to infectious disease care among lesbians
Counters assumptions that sex between women confers no risk for transmission of sexually transmitted infections, and argues that lesbians must receive Pap smears according to current guidelines. (See Details)
Nurses' working conditions: implications for infectious disease
Discusses how staffing patterns and nurses' working conditions are risk factors for healthcare-associated infections as well as occupational injuries and infections. Highlights staffing shortages, especially of nurses, as one of the major factors expected to constrain hospitals' ability to deal with future outbreaks of emerging infections. Argues that understanding and improving nurses' working conditions can potentially decrease the incidence of many infectious diseases. (See Details)
Gender and monitoring the response to HIV/AIDS pandemic
Examines statistics on prevalence and incidence that indicate that the pandemic has increasingly affected women during the past decade. (See Details)
Steps for preventing infectious diseases in women
Demonstrates that a medical approach is not sufficient to implement effective infectious disease prevention strategies in women. Argues that health policies must be changed, and social restrictions that circumscribe women need to be eliminated. Presents three steps necessary for developing a prevention strategy: 1) a gender perspective must be incorporated into infectious disease analysis and research to target policies and programs. Data collected must be disaggregated by sex, age, socioeconomic status, education, ethnicity, and geographic location; 2) models must be developed and implemented that address gender inequities in infectious diseases in an integrated manner; and 3) outreach activities must be supported, using information, education, and communication strategies and materials for advocacy and training.

Een Kruis van Jeruzalem of Jerusalemkruis is een van de vele wijzen waarop een kruis wordt afgebeeld. Na de Eerste Kruistocht koos Godfried van Bouillon een dergelijk "krukkenkruis met Latijnse kruizen in de armen" als wapen van zijn koninkrijk Jeruzalem.

Een gouden Jeruzalemkruis op een zilveren veld is een overtreding van de regels van de heraldiek maar is volgens sommige bronnen gekozen om, net als in het pauselijk wapen dat dezelfde kleuren of "metalen" combineert aan te geven dat men hier met een bijzonder wapen van doen heeft. Andere schrijvers meenden dat de rode kleurstof op tekeningen is geoxideerd en dat daardoor de indruk van een gouden in plaats van een rood kruis is ontstaan.

Het kruis is ook het insigne van de Orde van het Heilig Graf van Jeruzalem. Men vindt het ook terug in het Pruisische Olijfberg-kruis en een variant ervan maakt ook onderdeel uit van de Vlag van Georgië.

Center for Feminist Art
A vital new venue and focal point within the Brooklyn Museum.
Photo © Aislinn Weidele/Polshek Partnership
Located on the Brooklyn Museum's fourth floor, the new Center contains permanent and changing exhibition galleries, a study center, and presentation space to promote dialogue and exchange about the exhibition and related issues represented in the galleries.
The design creates a visually distinctive environment, symbolic of the Museum's commitment to creating a permanent home for showcasing Feminist Art.
Spatially, the plan is organized in a series of distinct, yet interconnected experiences. Movement through the Center allows for a variety of encounters with the permanent and changing exhibitions. Judy Chicago's seminal work - The Dinner Party - is the centerpiece of the overall design and is integrally related to the other spaces within the new Center.
The overall design is conceived as a series of concentric layers: the perimeter walls of the 19th century building, the enveloping zone of changing exhibition galleries, and the walls and inner sanctum of the Dinner Party Gallery. This strategy serves to reconcile the scale and geometry of The Dinner Party within the structure of the Museum.
An equilateral triangle in plan, the geometry of The Dinner Party Gallery forges a vital relationship between the art and the space it occupies, which is intended to heighten the visitor's perception of the piece and to reinforce the artist's original concept.

A dramatic sculptural threshold immediately inside the entry portal signals arrival to the new Center. Defined by the large canting walls and glass membrane of The Dinner Party Gallery, this point of arrival permits anticipatory glimpses of the piece within.

Changing exhibition galleries flank all three sides of the central gallery. The permanent installation begins with a linear gallery space featuring The Banners, a series of seven Aubusson tapestries hung perpendicular to a vivid red wall. The Dinner Party follows, accessed through an aperture at the apex of the triangular space.
Corner Detail
Immediately outside the Central Gallery, a flexible exhibition space presents The Heritage Panels, which summarize the research done by the artist and her team on the lives and accomplishments of the dinner guests. Directly adjacent, a changing biographical gallery highlights the individuals recognized in the piece. The sequence ends in the study center, a flexible presentation space.
The primary entrance to the Center, located directly adjacent to the northwest, overlooks the Beaux Art Court. The sequence begins through a large portal with double glass doors and signage announcing the Center in the transom above.

Rolex Air-King was once an entry-level collection for Rolex. In 2014, Air-King was included in the Oyster Perpetual collection. Two years later in 2016, Rolex Air-King was reborn. Fake Rolex Air-King 116900 is the latest Air-King watch.
Air-King is also Rolex's watch series. But now it is more used as an ornament. The Air-King collection has a special place in Rolex. This collection has also been discontinued. But a few years after it was discontinued, the 2016 fake Rolex Air-King 116900 resumed this series.
In 2014, Rolex summarized Air-King into Oyster Perpetual. As we all know, Oyster Perpetual has countless styles, so Air-King is difficult to attract everyone's attention. So to make the Air-King watch more attractive, Rolex added more new details to it. Next you will see an Air-King 116900 from the Baselworld Watch & Jewellery Show 2016.
The original Air-King watch was a very basic watch. The 34MM case is too small to be worn every day. But the latest fake Rolex Air-King 116900 has an ideal size, 40MM. This matches the current trend.
Fake Rolex Air-King 116900 retains the original logo. Air-King in the dial also moved to the 1945 position. Large Arabic numerals are used for time scales 3, 6, and 9. The minute scale is a small Arabic number.
Air-King And Milgauss Relationship
If you like Milgauss, then you will definitely love Air-King. And even if you don't like Milgauss, you are very likely to like Air-King. Rolex Air-King 116900 has the same antimagnetic device as Milgauss. But it's cheaper than Milgauss. this is a good news.
Fake Rolex Air-King 116900 has always been a fiery watch. Although he is not the most popular stainless steel sports watch, the value is not as low as other fake watches.

"Nothing in it" for Sean Hinds-Public Security Ministry
Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan
The Guyana government on Monday ruled out striking a deal outside of a possible plea bargain for self-confessed death squad member Sean Hinds.
"There will be nothing in it for him. What's got to be there for him? He is helping so if he murdered we must allow him to get off of that?" said Public Security Minister Khemraj Ramjattan.
His remarks to reporters at Arthur Chung International Conference Centre came ahead of a possible surrender by Hinds to the headquarters of the Guyana Police Force's Criminal Investigations Department.
Ramjattan said "discretion" would be used to ensure that authorities but said no amnesty would be granted at this stage. "At this stage we are not going to grant amnesty…nobody is going to have a free lunch in this society and if he did what he did and wants to bring it out, we'll fine. The trouble is let him come and we will determine that later," he said.
The Public Security Minister' said there was no role for the political directorate, but that Hinds should subject himself to be questioned and interviewed thoroughly by police about everything that he knows.
Ramjattan acknowledged that there was scope for the Director of Public Prosecutions to use the plea bargaining law to acquire vital information from criminals in exchange for lighter sentences.
Police have said that Hinds is wanted for questioning about a "serious offence" but it is not about the gunning down of political activist Courtney Crum-Ewing on March 10, 2015 at Diamond, East Bank Demerara.
Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo at the weekend said a man believed to be Hinds was seen at about 8pm on July 14, 2015 near his private residence at Liliendaal/ North Sophia, East Coast Demerara.

The Great Betrayal
As the curtain falls on the 31st Dáil, the government have fallen drastically out of favour, something that is hard to believe if we cast our minds back just a few years to 2011 when they rode a wave of populist sentiment all the way to Dáil Eireann. No Irish government has ever enjoyed a larger majority – and none has ever so comprehensively squandered its mandate. How did they fall so far so fast?
Written with the unique insight of one of the most original observers of Irish politics, The Great Betrayal provides an entertaining and enlightening narrative of a government that, in the eyes of many, betrayed the hopes of the Irish electorate for a democratic revolution, almost immediately after being elected with a thumping majority.
The Great Betrayal is required reading for anyone wondering how it all went wrong and where we might go from here.
By John Drennan
For two decades, John Drennan was the most feared scribe in Leinster House. Some politicians loved him, most hated him, but all agreed that he was the wiliest, the most accurate, the most independent and the most sagacious chronicler of the Dá il soap-opera.
Then, in a move that stunned the political establishment, he left Ireland's largest newspaper, The Sunday Independent, to join a struggling fledgling party called Renua. He may be a spinner now, but in his writing that independent voice and inquiring eye continues to shines through.
John lives in Portlaoise with his wife and two sons.


It was a crisp, gray September morning as my uncle and I finished our coffee. "Well Al, time to hit the road," I said. The road-a five hour drive from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to Chicago O'Hare airport to catch my flight to Clarksburg, West Virginia, site of the 2002 National Darts Hall of Fame tournament. This time last week, I was preparing to depart for the Windy City Open in Chicago-but that is another story.
Waiting at Clarksburg Benedum Airport was that crusty old Marine, Jim Wall to provide my ground transportation. Jim said we were stopping by a pre-tournament demonstration match and I had no objections. We entered the "Loop" to discover that the event had finished in his absence. A hearty welcome from Charity Dart Systems founder, Jim Poliquin and greetings from the locals made me feel right at home immediately. There were still quite a few players hanging around so Jim Wall and I paired up for a few fun doubles games. Facing us were Keith Mascia and Scott Greene. We started off with cricket and to say the least-we were pretty awesome. The first game was a spanking. Scott got called to his pool game, so Terry Stromer joined Keith as his partner. Terry immediately began abusing me about not having the article from the 2001 tournament published-hey, I just write them-I don't publish them… It just didn't matter-we snatched the victory in the next two games. They decided it was time to switch to 501. This time it was the doubles that failed us-and we ended the evening 3-2 overall. Such is darts. Time to check-in to the Greenbrier, my accommodations for the weekend. We piled into Jim's pickup and away we went.
After making the necessary adjustments to my reservations, I think I got to kick Jerry Umberger out of his room, I head to MY room-another fine accommodation. A stop by the hotel bar to stock the refrigerator-and start these notes-and for me, the tournament has officially started.
It's Friday now-having had a restful night-I was ready for the tournament to begin. How do you say "sombich?" As the opening quote above alludes, deception-the art of war…Jim Poliquin stated there would be some surprises tonight-and this was one of them. It wasn't the darts, the appearance of many top darters-no, it was definitely something more personal. He drew me here under false pretenses-even if I had already made plans to attend. "Stay close," he said, "there's a guy who will only be here tonight-he has season tickets to the University of West Virginia football games-and won't be back tomorrow." Of course I complied-the induction of someone into the National Darts Hall of Fame-a definite Kodak® moment. I waited for the mystery name to be announced. The speaker bellowed-"How many Veterans are in the crowd?" There were about a dozen of us in the crowd with hands raised. "How many ever threw darts overseas?" Many of the hands lowered. "Who threw darts in Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore?" SOMBICH! I then realized amongst the assembled crowd-there could only be one-ME! And with that-Jim Poliquin presented me with my plaque inducting me into the National Darts Hall of Fame-Class of 2002. I think my old friend Dartoid summed it up best-"what the hell did I do to get here?" Obviously, it wasn't for my playing ability-even if I can beat Dartoid. Maybe, it was for my Top Eight finish in the Penang Open in Malaysia in 1994 or maybe the Yokosuka Naval Base Singles Championship in Japan in 1989? Needless to say, it is a humbling experience-wished upon all who throw darts-because as Dartoid pointed out in his 2001 article: you don't run for this; you can't bribe the judges-it's a secret ballot among a mystical, unnamed group compromising the selection committee. As I sit in my room later-watching ESPN®, I hear Larry Bird announcing the induction of Ervin "Magic" Johnson into the Basketball Hall of Fame…how special is tonight? Just a couple of Michigan guys-who done good. Only those who have been there will know…and, personally-I wish all dart players to have the night I have just had.
As I peer out to the back of the hall-I notice a new entrant-none other than 1988 Hall of Fame inductee-Jerry Umberger. It gets harder to express the emotions-considering the elite fraternity I have just been added to. How did I get here? Had to be the times I beat Dartoid.
Speaking later with Jim-he has stated that future selections will be done differently-sort of. Rather than trying to monitor all tournaments across the nation, getting input from selected groups of regional 'sources' and throwing in the miscellaneous ballot here and there-they want to go to a national nomination system. If you have someone you consider deserving of consideration-send it to him…snail mail or e-mail (Dartmannational@aol.com) or Jim Wall (DartsCAD@aol.com). Bulletin boards, street signs, TV commercials and flyer campaigns will not be accepted.
The Charity Dart System National Darts Hall of Fame has selected the University of West Virginia Children's Hospital as the recipient of the monies raised from the tournaments. Sounds like a good investment to me. Jim also announced that the National Darts Hall of Fame is inching closer to having a real home. Negotiations are underway and only time and finances will tell. It may not be Canton or Cooperstown-but it will be ours in Clarksburg.
But back to the tournament-it's Friday night and there are two Luck of the Draws to start off the tournament. In the first 501 Luck-Ed Rebstock and his partner, Tom White, gave it a Herculean effort-Ed throwing a maximum in both the second and third leg-but all for naught as Tom Stewart and Kerry Anthony found the winning doubles in the third leg to take the top prize.
In the final draw doubles of the night (Chicago Format)-Howard Grimm and Pattie Rodgers faced off against, guess who, Ed Rebstock and partner Alan Matthews-just mentioning those two names in the same sentence should bring some fear into many hearts...yes, you guessed it-Ed and Alan split the winning paycheck.
The bar signaled it was time-and those who remained agreed. Jim gathered up his paperwork and back to the Greenbrier we went-he, most likely to bed-and me, here on the keyboard. One more and the pillow calls. The crack of noon will come too soon-it's a dart tournament!
Coffee, Java, Cuppa Joe, what ever you call it-it beckons. The above referenced crack has appeared.
We are off to the Moose Lodge 52 hall-a very nice venue-for a full day of darts. The Tom and Deb Stewart Taxi Company provided transportation. Next time, I'll tip the driver better… Today, I have the laptop in tow (and Hall of Fame plaque securely tucked away!).
Today's events include Mixed Doubles 501, Men's Singles Cricket, Ladies Singles Cricket, Ladies Doubles 501, Men's Doubles 501, Men's Doubles Cricket, Ladies Doubles Cricket, the National Dart Hall of Fame Banquet and Award Ceremony, and Luck of the Draw. Truly, this should be a full day of darts and fun.
Coming all the way from Virginia Beach, Virginia, "Sir George" Sizemore, another of us crusty old Navy Chief's, has the "Bit of England Dart and Game Shoppe" set up in the corner to provide the needed supplies for the players-flights, shafts, shirts, etc.
Starting off the day-Mixed Doubles 501. Meeting in the finals, Chris and Linda Bender faced off against Tim Hopkins and Jennifer Ehlert. With a marvelous 129 finish, Chris and Linda took the first leg. In the second leg, Chris missed the double bull on the attempt at 89, leaving the door open for Tim to peg the Double 10 for the win. The third leg saw Jennifer hit the 78 finish for the win and the top prize.
ADA President Glenn Remick was here to announce the joining of the ADA with the Charity Dart System National Dart Hall of Fame for a unified Hall of Fame. This union will present even greater opportunities to raise needed money for charity, with both steel tip and soft tip tournaments generating money for the cause.
Men's Singles Cricket is underway…and the field has been whittled down to Jerry Umberger and Tom Stewart. Displaying his form of old-your 2002 Men's Singles Cricket Champion-Jerry Umberger.
The Ladies Doubles 501 finals have arrived. Mary MacDonald and Christine Campbell squared off against Deb Lewis and Jennifer Ehlert. When the final double was thrown-Mary MacDonald and Christine Campbell claimed top prize.
Men's Doubles 501 has seen some serious competition-but now we are down to the final pairings. Gary Stone and Darren Parzow and Jim Schmuck and partner Larry Jenkins will meet in the finals. Gary and Darren proved too strong and claimed the top prize.
Ladies Singles Cricket finals saw Christine Campbell facing off against Kathy Kneff. The Ladies Singles Cricket Champion for 2002 is Christine Campbell.
Tournament Darts International Jerry Umberger Legion of Goodwill Award - Tom and Debbie Stewart (Pennsylvania).
Returning to the action-Men's Doubles Cricket was the next event. In the final pairings, we have Ed Rebstock and Tom Stewart set to challenge Gary Stone and Darren Parzow for the title. This time, Gary and Darren couldn't keep the string alive and fell to your champions, Ed and Tom.
The Ladies Doubles Cricket featured Mary McDonald and Christine Campbell facing Paula Bushey and Sue Skinner. Continuing that winning tradition, Mary and Christine claimed the title.
The final event of the evening is the Luck of the Draw…two of the tournaments best were facing off-Tom Stewart with partner Matt Koons, and Mary McDonald and partner Chris Kohut. Once again, Tom and his partner took the top prize.
Jim gives me the high sign that the "bus" is leaving the station. The amber beverages have been flowing since the sun was over the yardarm-it must be pillow time.
Sunday has arrived…once again, way, way to early. Intravenous caffeine and we are ready to face the day.
Not a bad total for ten minutes of darts-I'm sure the Children's Hospital will appreciate it.
Mixed Triples 601 start the official events for Sunday. The team of Tom Stewart/Deb Stewart/Ed Rebstock toed the o'che against the team of Gary Stone/Terry Stromer/Darren Parzow. The finals-a familiar site for all. With the last double-Gary, Terry and Darren claimed the team prize.
The winner of the raffle for the one of a kind 2002 National Hall of Fame Tournament jacket was Nancy McClain. Congratulations.
The final 50/50 raffle was held. Over the course of the weekend, $1009 was raised for donation to the Children's Hospital. Way to go folks! Total donations raised to this point--$1775.02.
Singles 501 is the final event of the tournament. For the distaff side, Mary McDonald and Sally Moran faced off for the title. Your 2002 National Darts Hall of Fame 501 Ladies Singles Champion-Sally Moran.
The Men's final brings together Alan Matthews and Tom Stewart. Ashley Holgate provided the throw-by-throw commentary-as only a Brit could. In a truly championship caliber final, Tom defeated Alan to claim the 2002 Hall of Fame 501 title.
For the Men's Most Valuable Player-the selection was easy-Tom Stewart. The Ladies MVP Award was nip and tuck-down to the final event. The 2002 Ladies MVP-and Hall of Fame inductee-Mary McDonald.
And now it's over. That eternal tournament scene-teardown has commenced. The crew of volunteers swarm the boards like ants on honey and in short order-the hall is returned to its' original condition. Now comes the paperwork-everyone knows that the job is never complete until all the paperwork is done. But this will be done back at the Greenbrier, so we pack up the laptop and mosey down the road. All that's left now is the wait until the zero dark ungodly flight back to Chicago to pick up my truck and the ensuing three hour drive-back to work first-then home.
To the staff, participants, and my fellow Hall of Fame inductees-a hearty "Job Well Done." It was another outstanding tournament run by the Charity Dart System and Mr. Jim Poliquin and his staff.

Q: Values should be selected in dropdown once my page is loaded in angularJS (NgRoute) I am using single page angular application. I have defined the static array in my typescript file. I want to bind my value from my Address array to the dropdown(select control). My ts file is as follows.
 let mainAngularModule = angular.module("mm", ['ngMaterial', 'ngRoute']);

    mainAngularModule.config(routeConfig);

    routeConfig.$inject = ['$routeProvider'];
    function routeConfig($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
        $routeProvider
            .when('/UserDefinedElement', {
                templateUrl: 'LinkType.html',
                controller: 'linktController as LTController'
            })
       .when('/PersonalPreferences', {
            templateUrl: 'PersonalPreference.html',
            controller: 'personalpreferencesController as PPController'
        })
}

and i have defined the class in same ts file which is as follows
class LinkTypeController {
    constructor() {

        $scope.items = [
            { Name: "LinkType1", Address: "NC"},
            { Name: "LinkType2", Address: "NY"}
        ];

       this.AddressData= [
        { ID: 1, description: "NY" },
        { ID: 2, description: "NC" },
        { ID: 3, description: "SC" },
    ];

    }
}

mainAngularModule.controller("linktController", LinkTypeController);

my Linktype HTML code is as follows
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <title></title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />

                        Name
                        Address

                        {{x.Name}}

          <md-select ng-model="selectedAddress" ng-model-options="{trackBy:'$value.ID'}">
                            <md-option ng-value="address" ng-repeat="address in LTController.AddressData track by $index">{{ address.description }}</md-option>
                        </md-select>

when my page is loaded i want values from my address arrays to be selected in dropdown. Is something i am missing?

A: <md-select ng-model="x.Address">
    <md-option ng-value="address.description" ng-repeat="address in LTController.AddressData track by $index">{{ address.description }}</md-option>
</md-select>

*

*Your ng-model needs to be bound to x.Address which is where the data comes from.

*ng-model-options - trackBy needs to be removed because we are doing shallow comparison on string only.

*ng-value on option needs to be address.description because this is the field to be matched against x.Address.

I've included a simple example. I'm not familiar with typescript so I've written using vanilla JS.

angular.module('test', ['ngMaterial']).controller('TestController', TestController);

function TestController($scope) {
  $scope.items = [
    { Name: "LinkType1", Address: "NC"},
    { Name: "LinkType2", Address: "NY"}
  ];

  $scope.AddressData = [
    { ID: 1, description: "NY" },
    { ID: 2, description: "NC" },
    { ID: 3, description: "SC" },
  ];
}
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-material/1.1.3/angular-material.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

Name: {{x.Name}}

      <md-select ng-model='x.Address' aria-label='address'>
        <md-option ng-value='address.description' ng-repeat='address in AddressData'>{{address.description}}</md-option>
      </md-select>

Oliver Wood's brace handed Burnley United a 2-0 win over Garstang in the West Lancashire Premier Division on Saturday.
Neither side had created a chance until Burnley scored in the 13th minute when Jonathan Hodgkinson swept the ball out to Wood with the striker cutting inside before hitting an unstoppable drive into the top corner of Jim Brindle's net.
Brindle had to be quick off his line later in the half to block Wood's shot and prevent goal number two.
In the final minute of the first-half Garstang's Andy Taylor headed against the near post from a Dave Jack throw-in.
The visitors were undone however in the 46th minute when Wood ran through from what looked like an offside position to crash home a second.
Luck seemed to have deserted Garstang when Gary Fawcett appeared to be brought down in the box only for a free-kick to be awarded outside the penalty area.
Balls rained into the Burnley box but Garstang were unable to find a way through, Conor Crossley seeing a late effort tipped over the bar.
Slyne-with-Hest's game at home to Fleetwood Hesketh was postponed.
On Saturday Garstang host Hesketh Bank while Slyne welcome Longridge Town.

Calculate Interest Rates
How to Calculate the Interest Rate for a Savings Account
By Harold E. Sconiers
How to Convert Annual Interest Rate to Daily Interest Rate
The money you place in a savings account will produce an income known as interest. This gain is a percentage of your current balance and is listed, by the bank, as an annual return. The money gained in interest will, itself, earn interest, which may make the potential earnings of your savings account seem difficult to calculate. You can use a simple formula, however, to make an accurate estimate of your eventual gains.
Figure out the annual return on your original balance. You can do this by first multiplying your initial deposit by the given rate of interest. For example, placing $15,000 in an account that earns an annual interest rate of 3 percent would be written as $15,000 x 0.03. The resulting number is the amount of interest you would receive during the course of one year; in this case, $450.
Break down your annual return into daily increments. Simply take the number you calculated earlier, $450, and divide it by 365 days. This example would give you $1.23 accrued daily on your account. However, most banks will deposit your interest earnings at the end of each month. For a month of 30 days, this will total $36.98, which would make your ending balance $15,036.98.
Calculate the interest on your new balance. Many banks offer saving accounts that work according to the principle of compound interest. This means that you will earn additional interest on whatever money you have deposited, along with any you have previously earned in interest. The interest is usually accumulated on a daily basis and paid out monthly. At the end of 30 days, therefore, the same 3 percent would begin to be applied to your new balance of $15,036.98. You will start to receive a daily return on this amount, which will accumulate until it is added to your account at the end of the month.

Q: django CMS blog application TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'on_delete' Python 3.7.3
django version 2.2.1
I've just started learning django and have gone through their polls tutorial.
I'm trying to install django CMS package
https://github.com/nephila/djangocms-blog
After running python3 manage.py migrate I'm getting following error:
TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'on_delete'
I've read the solution suggested on Getting TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'on_delete' when trying to add parent table after child table with entries but it doesn't resolve
How to fix it?
Following is my models.py
class Choice(models.Model):
question = models.ForeignKey(Question, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
choice_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
votes = models.IntegerField(default=0)
def __str__(self):
    return self.choice_text

settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [

'django.contrib.sites',

'polls.apps.PollsConfig',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',

# CMS Blog
'cms',
'menus',
'filer',
'easy_thumbnails',
'aldryn_apphooks_config',
'cmsplugin_filer_image',
'parler',
'taggit',
'taggit_autosuggest',
'meta',
'sortedm2m',
'djangocms_blog',
]

A: I found the solution.
The CMS Plugin Filer has been deprecated:
https://github.com/divio/cmsplugin-filer
It's been left in the installation instructions of Django CMS Blog for legacy, but it should be removed. Explanation here
https://github.com/nephila/djangocms-blog/issues/431
The function of this plugin has been replaced by Filer ThumbnailOption, so you can remove this bit
'cmsplugin_filer_image'

from django settings.py> INSTALLED_APPS
It should work then.
Edit: also you will need to install the latest version of djangocms-blog
pip install djangocms-blog==1.0.0rc1

Q: Data structure choice for dynamic programming In order to implement a DP algorithm for detecting whether a word is breakable into sub-words of length 'n' to 1, what should be the choice of data structure for caching DP results.
Example: the word 'pita' can be broken into 'pit', 'it' & 'i' which are all valid dictionary words as well.
The DP algorithm should detect such words.
I can imagine I need start from words of length 1 and build up substrings of increasing lengths but I am not able to arrive at a data structure which can efficiently store the subproblem's results

A: if you work on your word sequential you don't need to track previous word as you don't reach them again, but you can use a cache to cache previously lookup sub word in the dictionary.
If i understand the problem, then i think the following Java code may help you:
String term = "pita";
Set<String> dictionary = new HashSet<String>();
boolean ans = true;
for(int i = 0; i < term.length() && ans == true; i++) {
    for(int j = i + 1; j < term.length(); j++) {
        String subTerm = term.substring(i, j);
        if(!dictionary.contains(subTerm)){
            ans = false;
            break;
        }
    }
}
System.out.println("ans [" = ans + "]");

For dictionary you can use a hash table and it support to take O(1) to check if the sub
word exist or not. if you cache previously checked sub word it will take the same O(1)
I think this problem is fitted in sorting and searching technique not in DP because
it did not use a previous answer to produce current answer.

A: There is no need for special datastructure as such a boolean DP array would be sufficient :-

isSentence[j] tell the substring str[j to n] is valid concatenation of
  english words/word where n is last index
isSentence[j] = or(isword(str[j to i]) && isSentece[i+1]) for all i
  from j to n
or here means logical OR of all subproblem and isword is dictionary
  lookup which returns boolean value and && logical AND

A:
I can imagine I need start from words of length 1 and build up substrings of increasing lengths but I am not able to arrive at a data structure which can efficiently store the subproblem's results

The following is a pseudo-code written in Java might not compile
TrieNode.java
class TrieNode
{
    public TrieNode (double a, double b, double g, int size)
    {
        this.alpha = a;
        this.beta = b;
        this.gamma = g;
        this.next = new TrieNode [size];
    }
    public double alpha, beta, gamma;
    public TrieNode [] next;
}

You can replace alpha, beta, gamma with your parameters for the problem.
Trie.java
class Trie
{

    private TrieNode root;
    private char base;
    private final int ALPHABET_SIZE;

    public Trie (int ALPHABET_SIZE, char base_char)
    {
        this.base = base_char;
        this.root=new TrieNode(0,0,0,ALPHABET_SIZE);
    }

    public boolean insert (String word, double [] param)
    {
        TrieNode current = this.root;
        int i = (-1);

        if (!validate(word))
            return false;

        char [] c = word.toCharArray();

        for (int i = 0; i < (c.length-1); i++)
        {
            if (current.next[c[i]-base] == null)
                current.next[c[i]-base] = new TrieNode (0,0,0,ALPHABET_SIZE);
            current = current.next[c[i]-base];
        }

        if (current.next[c[i]-base] == null)
            current.next[c[i]-base] = new TrieNode (0,0,0,ALPHABET_SIZE);

        current.next[c[i]-base].alpha = param[0];
        current.next[c[i]-base].beta = param[1];
        current.next[c[i]-base].gamma = param[2];
        return true;
    }

    public boolean validate (String word)
    {
        for (char c : word.toCharArray())
            if (c < base || c > (base+ALPHABET_SIZE-1))
                return false;
    }

}

This is an index-based Trie, with safe insert function.
MappedTrie.java
class MappedTrie
{
    public final char [] ALPHABET;
    private Trie trie;

    MappedTrie (char [] alphabet)
    {
        ALPHABET = alphabet;
        trie = new Trie (ALPHABET.length,0);
    }

    public boolean insert (String word, double [] param)
    {
        if (!validate(word))
            return false;

        String key = "";

        for (char c : word.toCharArray())
            key += encode(c);

        return trie.insert(key,param);

    }

    private char encode (char c)
    {
        for (int i=0; i<ALPHABET.length; i++)
            if (c == ALPHABET[i])
                return i;
    }

    private char decode (char d)
    {
        return ALPHABET[d];
    }

    public boolean validate (String word)
    {
        boolean exist = false;

        for (char c : word.toCharArray())
        {
            exist = false;
            for (char d : ALPHABET) if (c == d) { exist = true; break; }
            if (!exist) return false;
        }

        return true;
    }

}

In case of a custom alphabet where characters are not adjecent, we can map it over index.
Test
class Test
{
    public static void main (String [] args)
    {
        // 'a'+0, 'a'+1, 'a'+2
        MappedTrie k = new MappedTrie(3, 'a');

        k.insert("aa", { 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 });
        k.insert("ab", { 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 });
        k.insert("ac", { 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 });

        k.insert("ba", { 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 });
        k.insert("bb", { 0.04, 0.05, 0.06 });
