Q: Segmentation fault when using OpenCv fisheye::calibrate() function I'm using the fisheye::calibrate() function from OpenCv 2.4.10 (C++ API) to calibrate a fisheye camera. When I use the standard cv::calibrateCamera() function for pinhole camera everything works correctly. If I use the fisheye counterpart (i.e. fisheye::calibrate()) with the same inputs (the two functions have the same signature) I get a segmentation fault error.
Is this a known issue? What could be the problem?

A: It looks like it's been a while since this was submitted, but as I stumbled across this trying to solve the same problem I'll put the solution I found here to help those that follow.
It looks like there is a bug with this function which means it cannot cope with Mat parameters for input and output arrays. When I used the following signature it started working.
double cv::fisheye::calibrate (vector<vector<Point3f> > objectPoints, vector<vector<Point2f> > imagePoints, const Size &image_size, Matx33d K, Vec4d D, vector<Vec3d> rvecs, vector<Vec3d> tvecs, int flags=0, TermCriteria criteria=TermCriteria(TermCriteria::COUNT+TermCriteria::EPS, 100, DBL_EPSILON))

Thankfully the Mat type has some good methods for doing the conversions, so in my case (where I already had imagePoints in the right format anyhow) I was just able to do:
distCoeffs = Mat::zeros(4, 1, CV_64F);
Matx33d tempCameraMatrix = cameraMatrix;
Vec4d tempDistCoeffs = distCoeffs;

I hope that helps someone out there!

Q: Proper nullable annotation for async generic method that may return default(T) I am converting a codebase to C#8 with nullable reference types. I came across the a method similar to the one in this question but async.
public async Task<T> GetAsync<T>()
{
    // sometimes returns default(T); => warning CS8603 Possible null reference return
}

T may be any type, including nullable reference types or nullable value types.
To be clear, I understand WHY this method triggers a warning. What I'd like to know is what annotations can be used to resolve it.

*

*I know I can use #nullable disable or default(T)!, but I was hoping for something that's less of a "hammer".

*I know I can't use [return: MaybNull] because that would apply to the Task itself, not the T.

Is there any other attribute/annotation I can apply to make the compiler happy, or is default(T)! my only option?

A: Form my experience, you can use Task<T?> GetAsync<T>() where T: class to resolve your problem.

A: In C# 9 we can solve just by adding ?
public async Task<T?> GetAsync<T>()
{
    return default;
}

But you need to distinguish nullable value types and nullable ref types in the calling code. To get a nullable ref type as a return value you can call the method with either <T> or <T?>:
SomeClass? c = await GetAsync<SomeClass>(); // return type is SomeClass?
SomeClass? c2 = await GetAsync<SomeClass?>(); // return type is SomeClass?

To get a nullable value type you need to call it with <T?>:
int? i = await GetAsync<int?>(); // return type is int?
int i2 = await GetAsync<int>(); // return type is int

P.S. I wonder how Microsoft explains us why they can't allow unconstrained T? and then just does this in the next C# version :)
Another option is to use a code from the answer for C# 8.
Answer for C# 8
We can't have async Task<T?> GetAsync<T>() since SomeClass? and SomeStruct? are very different. Also default! is not the best option since we can get nullable reference on non-nullable reference type by calling GetAsync<SomeClass>() in the calling code.
Better option is to have two different methods that use the same private method:
public class Storage
{
    ...
    public Task<T?> GetClassAsync<T>() where T : class
    {
        return GetAsync<T?>();
    }
    public Task<T?> GetStructAsync<T>() where T : struct
    {
        return GetAsync<T?>();
    }
    private async Task<T> GetAsync<T>()
    {
        if (condition)
            return default!;
        string json = await GetJsonAsync();
        T result = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<T>(json);
        return result;
    }
}

And usage:
// return type is SomeClass?
SomeClass? classResult = await storage.GetClassAsync<SomeClass>();

// return type is int?
int? structResult = await storage.GetStructAsync<int>();

// warning: Nullability of type argument doesn't match 'class' constraint
SomeClass? classResult = await storage.GetClassAsync<SomeClass?>();
// error: The type 'int?' must be a non-nullable value type
int? structResult2 = await storage.GetStructAsync<int?>();

A: From searching around and doing more research, it appears that the preferred way to suppress the warning in this context is to use the ! operator on default(T).

Those involved in the construction industry are continually faced with financial risks not encountered in other commercial contexts. These financial risks stem from the fact that most construction work is carried out by different construction trades people who have no privity of contract with the owner of the project and who work without any form of security.
As a result of these risks, contractors and suppliers of work, services and supplies to real property in Ontario have been granted special protections by the Construction Lien Act (the "CLA"). The CLA sets out the rules as to who has a lien (security against the property) and the process by which lien claimants can enforce their different rights.
Section 14(1) of the CLA provides that, "a person who supplies services or materials to an improvement for an owner, contractor or subcontractor, has a lien upon the interest of the owner in the premises improved for the price of those services or materials." The lien creates an interest in the land in favour of those who supply materials or services, thereby creating security. This operates to prevent the owner from receiving improved land without making payment for the improvement. This is especially important to subcontractors who have no direct contract with the owner (and, therefore, no right to bring an action for payment under a contract).
Part IV of the CLA provides that each payer on a contract or subcontract is required to retain a holdback of 10 per cent of the price of the services or materials as they are actually supplied under the contract or subcontract until all liens that may be claimed against the holdback have expired or have otherwise been satisfied or discharged. The term "payer" is defined in section 1(1) of the CLA as meaning "the owner, contractor, or subcontractor who is liable to pay for the materials or services supplied to an improvement under a contract or subcontract." The purpose of this holdback is to create a fund to which lien claimants may look if they are unable to recover from the person with whom they have a direct contract.
In addition to the basic holdback, there is a separate holdback for finishing work completed after the date of substantial performance of the contract.
Provided that the owner retains the proper holdback over the course of the construction and otherwise complies with its statutory obligations, the owner's exposure to a subcontractor or supplier lien claimant, with whom the owner has no direct contract, will be limited to the amount of the holdback.
Once it is established that one has a claim for lien, it is important to maintain those lien rights and enforce them. If certain steps or dates are missed, it could be costly to the lien claimant who is trying to enforce its lien rights. The CLA sets forth specific time limits for a claim for lien, first, to be preserved by registration against the title to the property, and second, to be perfected by the commencement of a court action.
The lien must be preserved by the claimant's registration of a claim for lien within 45 days after the earliest of publication of a certificate of substantial performance of the contract or the date the contract is completed or abandoned in the case of a contractor, or the last supply or certification of completion in the case of a subcontractor.
The next step that has to be taken to maintain and enforce the lien right is to commence an action to enforce the lien before the end of the 45-day period next following the last day on which the lien could have been registered. Therefore, the action must be commenced within ninety days of the last supply of services or materials. If this step is not taken within that period, the lien will expire, and the lien right will be lost.
There are also circumstances by which a preserved lien of a lien claimant may be perfected by "sheltering" under the perfected lien of another lien claimant in respect of the same improvement. However, to ensure one has adequate pleadings to proceed with the action, it is recommended that each lien claimant commences its own action rather than rely on the "sheltering" provision.
It is also important to note that a claim for lien will become void and unenforceable in the event the action commenced to perfect the claim for lien is not set down for trial within a period of two years from the date of commencement of the action.
If a construction dispute arises and a lien is registered against owner's property, often there will be a quick resolution to this dispute, especially if the owner wishes to deal sell or mortgage his property.
An owner with a lien on his property will have to remove it from the title before any prospective purchaser closes a transaction. To clear title, the owner has a few options available. Security can be posted into court for the full amount of the claim plus 25 per cent for costs to vacate the lien from the title, or the owner can negotiate with the lien claimant for the payment of an amount sufficient enough to settle the lien in exchange for a discharge.
While a discharge of the lien is ideal, if the lien is vacated, it will no longer attach to the land, and any prospective purchaser can be satisfied that the property is not encumbered.
There is very little other legislation in Ontario that provides parties entering into agreements with the type of protection offered by the CLA. Construction trades are often working without any other form of security or contract with the property owner. Not only does the CLA provide a method for assuring that there will be a source of funds available for those with a valid claim for lien, but the CLA can also be credited with facilitating the expeditious and inexpensive resolution of construction disputes.


The impact of At the Death House Door is highlighted by two very different events this week. A compelling profile of Rev. Carroll Pickett, former Prison Chaplain of the death house at "Walls" Prisoner in Huntsville, Texas, who presided over 95 executions, Peter Gilbert and Steve James' Kartemquin film for IFC has changed many people's thinking over the merits of the death penalty since it's 2008 release.
This Friday in Charlotte, North Carolina, the film will be screened and discussed as part of an event designed to defend the 2009 North Carolina Racial Justice Act, due for a repeal vote in the N.C. Senate. A panel discussion will follow with Darryl Hunt, who spent nearly 19 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.
The Racial Justice Act allows defendants to offer statistics to show that race played a key factor in putting a disproportionate number of people from a racial group on death row or on trial for their lives. Groups organizing the event include: State Rep. Rodney Moore (D), Democracy North Carolina; Justice Policy Center; Charlotte Mecklenburg NAACP; the Darryl Hunt Project for Freedom and Justice; Shiloh Institutional Baptist Church; Charlotte Health Care Coalition; Charlotte Community Justice Coalition; and the Ferguson, Stein, Chambers, Gresham & Sumter law firm. Get more information.
Featured in At the Death House Door is an exhibit of photographs of executed offenders and their victims created by Barbara Sloan, titled "Last Statement." On show at the Texas Prison Museum in Huntsville, Texas since opening in 2007, the latest installment of the 5-year project opens tonight in Huntsville, with twelve new photographs, and runs throughout the year. "I think it's deepened their thought process about the whole issue of crime and punishment," said Sloan of the many visitors who have seen the exhibit, due in part to the film. Get more information.
At The Death House Door is available on DVD, iTunes, Netflix.

Q: JavaScript Help in Adobe Acrobat DC pro Can someone help me, I have create a java script to put in Adobe Acrobat PRO DC. My script is

(getting Error SyntaxError: Illegal Character 2: at line 3) I can't figure out what its not liking

A: The quote characters you're using on the second line are curly quotes. Replace them with straight quotes.
That first line of code doesn't make sense for a PDF in Acrobat though, unless the document object is something you've created elsewhere.

Q: Is there a way to set the fillColor using an HTML attribute? (Fluent UI Web Components) When using Fluent UI Web Components from the CDN, I have learned it is possible to provide some values to the adaptive color system as attributes on the <fluent-design-system-provider> element.  For example: <fluent-design-system-provider base-layer-luminance=".15">
Question: Is there a similar way to set the fillColor of elements within HTML so as to have the appropriate design token values recalculated for the child elements?
For example, I am looking to do something like this:
<div id="myCardContainer" fill-color="neutralLayer2">
     <fluent-button appearance="accent">Hello</fluent-button>
</div>

...and have the styles of the <div>'s child element(s) recalculated in the same way as if I had used the JavaScript method:
const layer = document.getElementById('myCardContainer');
fillColor.setValueFor(layer, neutralLayer2);

A: Not currently.
This is tracked at https://github.com/microsoft/fast/issues/5286. There's some underlying infrastructure work happening now that should make this easier to solve soon.
There is also a component that does this in the Color Explorer at https://github.com/microsoft/fast/blob/5ba576ffb833ec7d705175608394860888963721/sites/fast-color-explorer/app/components/layer-background/index.ts.
For now use either the code you posted or incorporate the layer component above. Note that we'll be reworking the layering system to be more flexible soon. That work will take place in the adaptive-ui package.

In addition, global and population health issues such as war, terrorism, disease and natural disasters that impact health professionals are also covered in detail. New to the Third Edition: • Case studies which close the gap in understanding how policy and politics impacts health systems• Updated content on the Affordable Care Act • Enhanced Primary Care Roles (new chapter) • Health Information Technology and the Intersection of Health Policy (new chapter) • Political Power of Nurses: Harnessing Our Values & Voices (new chapter)


In the accurate radiometric calibration of earth observation instruments, diffusers are used as "white-references". In the frame of on-ground calibration campaigns of instruments such as SCIAMACHY, GOME2 and OMI (all using on-board diffusers), which took place at TNO TPD, a modulation of the reflectance signal in the spectral domain was discovered. This modulation appears when two spectra, recorded under slightly different conditions, are compared. This modulation, referred to here as Spectral features, reduces the accuracy of spectrometers as used in earth observation satellites. The spectral features are caused by speckle phenomena in the entrance slit of the spectrometer. The work reported here describes the origin of the spectral features, the measurements performed in order to reproduce and characterize this effect and the result of simulations performed on speckle patterns thanks to a dedicated analysis tool. A new set-up dedicated to spectral features measurements is also described.


Smaller in size, but nothing short of perfection.
The all new 165mm Savant trucks are everything you could dream of. With no compromise in strengh or performance, the narrower hangers add more grip and control to any downhill setup. Snag those tight inside lines and rally harder than you ever have before with the 165s bolted to your board. The Savant is the absolute perfect truck for fast downhill and freeride skating. The forged hanger offers superior strength and tighter tolerances. The axles are precision machined, dead straight, and secured with our patented captive axle lock system. A slightly tighter bushing seat provides additional stability but still allows that deep, predictable turn you can expect from all of our trucks. The Savants also feature race-inspired machined pivots, top hat washers, machined speed rings, urethane pivot cups and slop-stoppers to keep everything fully aligned. Not to mentions laser etched logos.


Radio personality Glenn Beck used to be, according to his own words, "part of the group that was saying, "YEA! SNUFF HER LIFE OUT! STARVE HER TO DEATH!" He has supposedly had a "change of heart" about Terri Schiavo and is enthusiastically promoted via a link on the main page of terrisfight.org as well as several other places on the website devoted to "keeping you up-to-date on Terri's situation."
If Glenn Beck has had a genuine "change of heart" and no longer wants Terri Schindler Schiavo to die, why did he promote Michael's favorite damage control lies on his broadcast? And why is this two year old broadcast, which is definitely not "up-to-date on Terri's situation," being promoted all over the Schindler's website?
There is a um, there is a woman, that, her husband, when they were, they were in their twenties, and her husband used to always say, "YOU'RE FAT! HEY FATTY FAT FATSO, WHY DON'T YOU PUT THE SANDWICH DOWN! NOBODY LIKES A FAT WIFE! WHOA... YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE STARTIN' TO PORK UP THERE A BIT!" She didn't want to be fat for her husband, so, she developed BULIMIA, tryin' to make sure she stayed SLIM for her FINE HUSBAND!
[Terri was not fat when she was married to Michael and was not a FINE husband because she told friends she was thinking about leaving Michael because she was unhappy.
What kind of "fine husband" would divert attention away from Terri's head injury, bone fractures, and serious neck injury by lying and saying she collapsed due to a self-inflicted potassium imbalance resulting from self-inflicted bulimia?
She was engaged in bulimia so, SO HORRIBLY, that SHE DROPS DEAD OF A HEART ATTACK. They resuscitate her, BUT SHE'S NEVER THE SAME. She's been in the hospital for, what is it Stew - 10, 11 years, now? Has to be, 10 or 11 years, been in the hospital.
Soon as she, soon as she, uh, was stable, THE HUSBAND SUED THE DOCTOR and said, (Glenn impersonating Michael Schiavo, Terri's husband), "YOU SHOULD'VE KNOWN MY WIFE HAD BULIMIA!"
"HEY FATTY FATSO, UH GEE, YOU SOUND... YOU GOT A SMELL LIKE BARF, WHAT'S GOIN' ON THERE?"
(Glenn, as himself, asking Michael Schiavo), "YOU SHOULDN'T OF PICKED THAT UP?"
[Glenn humiliated Terri while he promoted Michael's bulimia lie. "Oh, but this is just a show!" No, this is supposed to be a fight for Terri's life and it is no laughing matter that Glenn Beck is working as Michael Schiavo's mouthpiece. It is even more serious that this broadcast is being promoted all over terrisfight.org!
NO, NO, NO! The blame fell SQUARELY ON THE DOCTOR'S DOORSTEP.
He sued for A TON OF MONEY, and he TESTIFIED, OH, HE TESTIFIED HIS HEART OUT!
SO I CAN JUST TAKE CARE OF MY WIFE... I WANT TO BRING HER HOME! I WANT HER TO BE WITH ME!
Little did the jury know, he had a GIRLFRIEND at the time... They GAVE HIM the cash.
Since he got the cash, he told the hospital, not to resuscitate if there's ever a problem. Beyond that, she had an INFECTION. They started putting her on, I think, penicillin. He called the doctor up and said, "TAKE HER OFF PENNCILLIN, WHAT'RE YA DOIN"?
"Well, she...we, we have to give her antibiotics, OR SHE'LL DIE."
"YEA, YEA, YEA, MAYBE THAT'S WHAT GOD WANTS. TAKE HER OFF THE PENICILLIN."
See, because he doesn't get the CASH until SHE DIES.
He has to spend the money on TAKING CARE OF HER.
The parents stepped in and said, "you know what, uh, excuse me, Michael, we'd like to be able to take care of our daughter."
(Imitating Michael), "NO, NO, NO, SHE'S MY RESPONSIBILITY, MY MONEY!"
[Just in case Glenn Beck's theatrics are misunderstood, please allow me to explain. Terri's parents wanted to take care of Terri because Michael refused to fulfill his guardianship responsibilities mandated by Florida law. Instead, he neglected and abused her (with Judge Greer's knowledge) to cause her to regress. The corrupt court system allows Michael Schiavo to use money designated for Terri's rehabilitation to pay attorneys to search for a legal loophole to have Terri killed.
And you might hear in the media, because, HONESTLY, THEY DON'T GIVE A FLYING CRAP. Nobody's doing their homework on it. You might hear in the media that, that, because, this has been on Dateline, (Dateline NBC), you might have seen "The Terri Schiavo Story"... maybe not, maybe this is the first time you've heard of it.
But you'll hear that, "THIS WOMAN IS IN A PERSISTENT VEGETATIVE STATE." NO SHE'S NOT.
She responds to her parents. The nurses say, when they walk in, SHE LIGHTS UP.
The husband says, "NO, NO, NO, SHE HAS NO CLUE AS WHAT'S GOING ON!"
However... when the trial was going on, he put a NOTE on the television, and the note said, "DO NOT TURN THE TELEVISION ON NEWS!"
WELL IF THE WOMAN'S A VEGETABLE, SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON, WHY NOT, WHY NOT PUT EARPHONES ON HER? WHY NOT GET THOSE LITTLE SONY THINGS WHERE YOU PUT THE GOGGLES ON, THE GLASSES ON, AND SHE CAN SEE IT RIGHT THERE, 3-D, WHY CAN'T SHE WATCH IT, IF SHE'S A VEGETABLE?
They say this is about turning off LIFE SUPPORT... IT'S NOT.
Year and a half ago, I learned A REAL LESSON as a talk show host. I'd only been doing a talk show for... (sighs), about a year.
I've always, I mean, I've said it before, "I ain't that bright, man, I'M A DJ!"
I DID, I DID MORNING RADIO FOR 25 STINKIN' YEARS! (WHAT) THE HECK DO I KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING?
"HEY, HERE'S ANOTHER BRITNEY SPEARS - CALLER NUMBER 10 AND YOU'RE A WINNER!"
THAT'S WHAT I WAS, MAN, FOREVER!
So, I went, and I did a TALK SHOW.
That's when I said, "NEXT THURSDAY, THEY PULL HER PLUG."
just because they can't pick up a spoon, it's okay to STARVE THEM TO DEATH."
I don't remember what I said to this caller, but I'm sure I defended, (stammering voice, impersonating himself responding to the caller), "Well, you know, yea, it's uh, it's LIFE SUPPORT!" You know, some ridiculous, I'm trapped in a corner, "GOTTA GO TO COMMERCIALS NOW!"
But IT AFFECTED ME! BECAUSE I KNEW THEY WERE RIGHT! I HADN'T THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY! I HADN'T DONE MY STINKING HOMEWORK... and, to be BRUTALLY HONEST WITH YOU, IN A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH, I WAS SO EGOTISTICAL THAT I DIDN'T TAKE THE MATTER TO MY HEAVENLY FATHER AND ASK HIS OPINION! IN A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH I HADN'T SAID A SINGLE PRAYER ON IT! CUZ I KNOW WHAT I'M DOIN'... I'M A DJ, MAN! LOOK OUT!
It didn't take me long...It was on Saturday... after spending a great deal of time in prayer and reflection, and reading, that I was COMPLETE... I WAS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ISSUE.
On Sunday, I spent most of my time begging for forgiveness. In my carelessness, in my thoughtlessness, in my egomania, I was part of the group that was saying, "YEA! SNUFF HER LIFE OUT! STARVE HER TO DEATH!"
I said, "I'm on the wrong side of this issue."
He said, "Glenn, you've kind of been leading the way..." I said, "yea, I know."
"YOU'VE DONE PROBABLY, THE MOST, if you say you're wrong, THE MOST INSENSITIVE BIT OF ALL TIME ON FRIDAY'S SHOW."
we've done a lot of bits that were over the line... this one I only save... to humble me... to remind me, ask.
That week, I spent all week, trying to explain why I was wrong.
That Thursday, I did my show, with the family, at the hospital.
I told listeners, on that day, "I don't wanna see you." This is not about having a crowd down here... this isn't about anything." I remember we picked the broadcast site and it was, it was just around the corner from the hospital. It was under a tree. It wasn't where the crowds were. I told the promotions people, "I don't want a single banner up. I want to be invisible. I just have to be here as a person. I have to do this."
They pulled her tube, her feeding tube, that day. It was 5:30 in the afternoon. The judge said, "Put it back in."
The court battle has been going on ever since.
Terri Schiavo still hasn't had her teeth brushed.
Doctors, for the first time, this year, were allowed to come in and evaluate. The doctors are split, three to two.
Three of the doctors say she's in a, a vegetative state.
Two of the doctors say no, she's not.
"LOOK HOW SHE'S ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS! LOOK HOW SHE'S RESPONDING ON VIDEOTAPE!
WE'RE ASKING HER QUESTIONS. SHE'S DOING IT!"
Because this story is not about Terri Schiavo, a woman in St. Petersburg, in a hospital. That's not what this story is about.
This story is about YOU. This story is about YOUR PARENTS. This story is about YOUR CHILD.
On Monday, I'm gonna be broadcasting from WFLA, in Tampa. I'm then going to sit in in the trial.
I'm gonna watch. I'm gonna learn. I'm gonna listen. I'm going to ask.
A taped announcement says at end of show, "Truth... This is the Glenn Beck Program."

Big Sean: 15 Things You Didn't Know (Part 2)
By Megan Savage
FeaturedLifePeople
gageishere.deviantart.com
We already brought you part one of our list of 15 things you probably did not know about Big Sean, and now we're back with part two! Check out eight more fascinating facts about the Detroit-based rapper and musician that you definitely (probably) did not know below. You might be surprised by what you find out!
Number Eight: He Was Surprised by Lil Wayne's "Deep" Shout Out. Sean greatly appreciated Lil Wayne's shout out to him, especially because he is not signed to Lil Wayne. He said that he was grateful that a rapper that big would promote him without being paid to do it.
Number Seven: He Blew His Tuition Money on Studio Time. Sean's grandmother spent a lot of her life saving a college fund for Sean. However, he ended up using the bulk of the money to spend time in the studio.
Number Six: He Is Into Kendrick Lamar. Specifically, Sean has said that he appreciated To Pimp A Butterfly for its unique quality. He says that he likes when performers bring their own "flavor" to the industry.
Number Five: He Watches Dragon Ball Z. And he likes Pokemon, too! Sean tweeted that he was watching the latest Dragon Ball Z movie while listening to his new album. He has also tweeted about getting the new Pokemon game.
Number Four: He Was a Telemarketer. Before he hit it big, Sean was a telemarketer. He said that he was only making $100 every week, and he thought the job was "weak."
Number Three: He Appreciates Realness. Sean told The Breakfast Club in an interview that he doesn't believe there are a lot of real people in the industry. However, Sean tries his best to stay real.
Number Two: He Was Principal for a Day. Sean was the principal of Bates Academy in Detroit for a day. He collaborated with a project called Get Schooled to encourage kids to pursue their dreams and get educated.
Number One: He Is Grounded. Above all, Sean is able to step back and see his life for what it is. He said, "This last year has been a big turning point for me just as a person, for my career too…To take it to the next level, you gotta get your mind right. You gotta go on your instincts, go with your gut. I'm not afraid to just be."

It was all about the girls
Wow, what an amazing day we had when we hosted the Supporting Women in Business event recently in Liverpool.
Our Main speaker Claire Young wowed the audience with her story about taking part in BBC's The Apprentice, and the rigours of the selection process. I really didn't realise how controlled those contestants are during filming.
Other speakers included Catherine Wilks from 'In Movement' who spoke about how to stand out in business. Catherine certainly knows how to get the party started. Catherine had us all up doing warm up exercises a real ice breaker and great fun.
Next on was Justine Watkinson from Hillyer McKeown, telling us everything we needed to know before taking on staff. Amazing what we need to consider legally.
"Why Entrepreneurs Need Charisma & Easy Ways to Project it" was presented by professional Personal Development coach Jackie O'Carroll.
Which then led into workshops which included:

How to dress for your role: Presented by Diva Dressing
Things you should know when working from home: Presented by Keepoint Ltd

Margret Carter "Pâté Queen", told her story about how she founded award-winning 'The Patchwork Traditional Food Company'. Margaret set up her business with a start-up cost of just £9.00 in 1987. Amazing lady and so inspirational.
Next on stage was Amanda Moss, well-known as the creator and editor of Lifestyle Monthly Magazine, founder of award-winning Liverpool Fashion Week, and more recently Agency 101. How does the mum of 5 and soon to be mum of 6 manage?
Finally our last speaker was the lovely Marie Claire-Carlyle: Marie-Claire is one of the UK's top female inspirational and motivational speakers, and author of How to Become a Money Magnet and more recently Money Magnet Mindset. Wow

Sunil Grover is excited to work with Salman Khan
Edited By IANS Published By IANS On Sep 16, 2018 - 12:40 PM
Pic Credit: peepingmoon.com
Mumbai: Comedian-actor Sunil Grover says Salman Khan is an inspirational figure, and he is excited to work with the superstar in "Bharat".
"I have grown up watching his films. So when the opportunity came my way, I was a little nervous about it because he is a superstar and I thought how will I manage to match up with him," Sunil told IANS without divulging anything about his character.
"However, when I started working with him, I realised that he is actually an inspirational person who gives every actor full space. I feel very excited and fortunate to work with him in the film," he added.
Sunil says "it is interesting that though there is so much riding on him, he moves around with such ease".
"He is acting in films, doing television, his other production work is going on, but he is always doing something fun with all of us," he added.
"Bharat", being directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, is an official adaptation of the 2014 South Korean film "Ode to My Father". It is scheduled to release on Eid 2019.
At the moment, Sunil is looking forward to the release of Vishal Bhardwaj's "Pataakha". It will open on September 28.
Asked whether his popularity as a comedian is creating any obstacles to getting roles of different genres, Sunil said: "I don't think so. Because when a film comes to me with a role with traces of comedy, I think it is because people love and enjoy me doing such an act. And doing comedy is not an easy thing at all."
He says he is "certainly not bothered about the genre of my character".

Random memories of living in Mexico City
Not many people know that I spent two years living in Mexico City, 1957-59. I was three when I went and five when I returned so my memories of this period are very vague. Looking back I now wish I'd pumped my parents for information but it's now too late. Here's a summary of the little that that I do know and remember:
We went to Mexico because my dad was posted to the British Embassy as Labour Attache, one of six diplomats working under Sir Andrew Noble, Ambassador.
We went as a family (dad, mum, my younger sister and me) on the Cunard RMS Media, sailing from Liverpool to New York, then getting the train from NYC to Mexico. The Media (not that I remember it) was an interesting ship, the first built for Cunard after WWII. She entered service in 1947 and was a combination 250-passenger/cargo ship.
My dad was not a total stranger to diplomatic life as he'd worked in the British Embassy in Venezula in the late 1940s (he and my mum met through a penpal club – the immediate postwar version of internet dating!), but for my mum, coming from a working class background, it was an enormous challenge, but one she rose to. Not only was she expected to accompany my dad to diplomatic functions, but was expected to host them too.
Our home in Mexico City
We lived in two embassy-provided houses. I don't remember the first, but would instantly recognise the second if taken there – looking from the road, at the right hand size there was a steeply dropping drive down to a double garage. To the left of this was the house, entered from the street by walking across a 'bridge' – the principal entertaining rooms were at first floor level. At the bottom of the garden, over the fence, was some sort of stream or small river.
We also had an embassy car (a Ford Consul or Zephyr Mk.1) and driver, Augustus. It was in Mexico that my mum learned to drive.
My sister and me with our maids
We were assigned two Mexican maids, Dolores and Mercedes. Apparently I quickly became a fluent Spanish speaker but lost this just as quickly on returning to UK.
I went to an English-speaking nursery school run by one Mrs Bone. I remember nothing of it unfortunately.
Our best friends were the Wade family: David Wade was a Shell executive so presumably met my dad via the embassy. We and their two (at the time) children were good friends and maintained contact for years after we returned to Twickenham and Sidcup respectively.
Dad was awarded an MBE in the 1957 birthday honours list. He was presented with it when Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent visited Mexico in 1959.
We returned to UK in 1959. To get my dad back to work in London asap, they put him on a plane (then the more expensive option), leaving my mum to cope with two small children on the long train journey back to NYC, then the transatlantic crossing on the Queen Mary – not half as enjoyable as it might have been for her with two small children to look after and no spouse to share the load.
Postcript
Queen Mary at Long Beach 2010
In July 2010 after visiting Dallas for a software conference I took a stopover in LA so I could finally achieve one of my great ambitions, revisiting the Queen Mary. I booked a three night stay and in special requests put 'returning passenger'. When I checked in, I was given a room upgrade! See Two Queens and me

Aromatherapy can be defined as the diligent use of essential oils to promote or improve human health, hygiene and wellbeing. The term is applied to personal care products containing essential oils that impart skin-active and/or "feelgood" properties. Essential oils are often found as ingredients in over-the-counter preparations for respiratory health or muscular pain, and there are a number of oral medications that contain essential oils as their active ingredients, although the chances are that your family doctor is not familiar with any of them.
"Aromatherapy" is an all-inclusive term, covering cosmetic and psychological effects, as well as medicinal ones. In order to make a distinction between the more commercial aspects and the medicinal use of essential oils, terms such as clinical aromatherapy, aromatic medicine, and essential oil therapy have been used. Some practitioners regard essential oils as an integral part of the materia medica of herbal medicine, others as therapeutic additions to a massage oil.
[aromatherapy] by the large number of scientists interested since 1907, when our work on the subject commenced.." A French surgeon, Jean Valnet, further pioneered the medicinal uses of essential oils, which he used as antiseptics in the treatment of wounded soldiers during World War II.
However, although the word aromatherapy was not coined until the 20th century, the medicinal use of essential oils and aromatic plants is very much older.
Since essential oils are produced by distillation, and distillation was invented in the 10th century by Persians, it could be said that aromatherapy began 1,000 years ago. However a Greek herbalist, Dioscorides, wrote a treatise on herbal medicine in the 1st century, and one large section, On Oils and Trees, includes a detailed elaboration of aromatic herbal oils (made by infusing the plant in hot oil) and their medicinal properties. These were not distilled oils, but still made use of the plants' aromatic content for therapeutic purposes. If we include these infused, aromatic oils in our definition of aromatherapy, then we could say that it was being quite widely practised by European physicians 2,000 years ago.
Having "aromatic oils" in the definition of aromatherapy helps in another way – it avoids the problem of including absolutes, which are made by solvent extraction, not distillation. And some absolutes, notably rose and jasmine, are widely used in aromatherapy. Some enthusiasts and practitioners prefer to avoid using absolutes, since they contain traces of industrial solvents used in the extraction process. The question of whether these tiny amounts of solvent are acceptable in aromatherapy is debated.
Reverting to our history lesson, Dioscorides' book does not mark the first appearance of aromatic oil therapy, since infused oils have been in use for something like 4,000 years. They were employed in ancient Egypt, generally using either animal fat or oil of ben as the base material. (Oil of ben is produced from the seeds of Moringa oleifera, and is now more commonly known as moringa oil.) Incense was also much used in ancient Egypt, and could perhaps be seen as an aspect of early aromatherapy.
So when did aromatherapy begin? In its present form, using distilled oils, 1,000 years ago. As a deliberate use of infused plant oils for medicinal purposes, at least 2,000 years ago, and probably much earlier than that.
Avicenna (980-1037) is credited with the invention of distillation, though other Persians, such as Abulcassis, also contributed significantly to its development. During the crusades (1095-1291) distillation know-how traveled from the Middle East to Europe, and with the invention of the printing press in the early 1500s, we see the appearance in Europe of books on distillation and the therapeutic use of aromatics waters and essential oils.

Vitez: SCHOA, county not doing their jobs in Sun City
By Victor Vitez, Sun City
Would you feel comfortable if you had assets worth millions of dollars and the responsibility for protecting them were elected non-legal, volunteer, do-gooders?
SCHOA compliance officers reviewing a complaint.
Posted Wednesday, January 18, 2023 11:00 am
Well, that's what we currently have in Sun City, they are the Sun City Home Owners Association. SCHOA has nine elected directors a hand full of employees for administration and compliance, plus general and marketing managers. They are held responsible for ensuring that the restrictions and requirements set forth in the Sun City covenants, conditions and restrictions are adhered to. Their operating budget is derived from $25 annual dues from about 7,000 members and income from their business and contractor advertising.
Sun City has collected many millions of dollars since day one, paid to Recreation Centers of Sun City. RCSC is not related to SCHOA and has no duties or authority regarding the CC&Rs. The money is used for recreation center areas.
There's a lack of coordination between Maricopa County and SCHOA regarding permits. Maricopa County does not understand that CC&R's overrule the county. The problem is the current SCHOA board of directors are not doing anything to solve the problem. Why are they not doing anything? They owe Sun City residents an answer for why this is not being done.
As a result, we now have an apparent building violation that occurred because SCHOA says that some of our requirements and regulations are not enforceable and nothing seems to be done to correct this problem. They should look into "implied consent." The following paragraphs addresses implied consent.
When a property is sold, the buyer is given a document that identifies Sun City covenants, conditions and restrictions. They are also given a document that talks about Luke Air Force base and the noise the planes make. A buyer has the opportunity to object to these documents. If they do not, there is an implied consent, meaning that they will abide with the contents. Implied consent is a legal term that is defined as an agreement that is inferred from signs, actions or facts. It can also be inferred by inaction or silence. The term is very broad and widely applicable when dealing with criminal law.
A huge warehouse-like garage was built in the backyard of a home on West Manzanita Drive. The buyer apparently ignored the requirements and restrictions stated in the documents they were given to review at closing. The new home buyer apparently did not object to these documents and therefore legally gave their implied consent that they would abide with the contents.
Maricopa County has its own set of restrictions and requirements. Some of them are identified by development standards listed below.
In Table 18.80.020.B Development Standards — Detached Accessory Buildings, Specific Criteria states all buildings are limited to 15 feet in height; must have a setback of three feet for buildings 120 square feet or less, five feet for more than 120 square feet and the same for the main building per zoning district's development standards; and a rear yard area 30% of the rear setback area.
The buyer apparently ignored these requirements. Why didn't Maricopa County building inspectors address these apparent violations? Why doesn't SCHOA address these apparent violations? Why is SCHOA not held accountable for their lack of action?
It's time for Sun City to wake up and see what is happening to our community.

Midtjylland started this tie as heavy favorites and they didn't disappoint in the first leg in Wales and picked up a 2-0 win.
The Danes often make deep run in the qualifying tournaments and come with a formidable home record, are poised for a comfortable win in the second leg as well.
The minnows from Wales lost 8 of their 10 away games in the competitions, and the games they avoided defeat came against teams from similar league like theirs like Northern Ireland and Gibraltar.
HT/FT – Midtjylland/Midtjylland @ 1.50 (1/2).
Over 1.5 first half goals at 12/11 (2.07).
Most people would see this encounter as a miss match as TNS the Welsh side are minnows compared to FC Midtjylland, but the home side have been training and preparing hard for this game.
Over the 2 legs it looks almost impossible not to think that FC Midtjylland will not qualify, but TNS will want to give a good account of themselves in this game.
They have come this far and al the coach will ask is that even if they are to lose this game at home they don't concede too many goals and can have their heads held up high.
Still the bookmakers believe it will be a long night for the Welsh team and they are priced up at a huge 10.00 to win this game. The away side are big odds on favourites at 1.30 to take an advantage back home.
TNS will need to keep it tight and concentrate in the opening exchanges. If they concede early against this type of class then they could go on to lose by a large score.
We don't think they can qualify from this tie but this is the game in front of their home fans where they need to show passion and commitment and at least have the 2nd leg open next week. This is all about giving themselves a chance even if it is small.

His Eminence Cardinal Donald Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington, D.C., will celebrate the 11:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday, April 8 at Saint Vincent Archabbey Basilica on Divine Mercy Sunday and dedicate two new Basilica statues honoring Saint John XXIII and Saint John Paul II. His Excellency Bishop Edward C. Malesic of the Diocese of Greensburg will concelebrate the Mass along with Archabbot Douglas R. Nowicki, O.S.B.
Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II were canonized on Divine Mercy Sunday in 2014, and thus Divine Mercy Sunday 2018 was chosen for the dedication and blessing of the new statues.
The new statues join those of Saint Benedict, Saint Scholastica, Saint Placid and Saint Maurus, four saints important to the Benedictines.
Archabbot Douglas chose to honor these two new saints with statues because of their impact on the modern-day Church.
Saint John XXIII served as pope from 1958 until his death in 1963. But in that short period of time he was responsible for convoking the Vatican Council II, an ecumenical council that addressed relations between the Catholic Church and the modern world.
Saint John Paul II was one of the longest-serving popes in recent history, serving from 1978 until his death in 2005. He presided at 147 beatification ceremonies, 51 canonization ceremonies, completed 104 pastoral visits and encountered more than 17,600,000 pilgrims in general audiences during his tenure.
The new statues were carved by sculptor Norbert Koehn of Cleveland, and are carved to match the four others—Saints Benedict, Scholastica, Maurus and Placid—in style and material, Cararra marble. The original statues were created by Austrian sculptor Ferdinand Seeboeck and completed and installed in the early 1900s.
Selecting the poses for the new Basilica statues was a process that took a great deal of time and consideration, according to Father Vincent de Paul Crosby, O.S.B., who oversaw the renovations of the Archabbey Basilica in 1996 and serves as the Archabbey's consultant for monastic environment and art.
"Pope John XXIII reigned as pope for four and a half years," Father Vincent noted, "so he was always seen as the same age. John Paul II reigned for 28 years, so people saw him as a young man in his fifties, as well as someone who suffered from Parkinson's disease in his eighties. We chose an image in between, while he was still vibrant.
"John XXIII's pose is somewhat static," Father Vincent said. "He was a happy, jovial man, and is shown with a slight smile." He is holding a book.
John Paul II is carrying his crozier. His pose captures a slight wind blowing his cassock with his hand outstretched reflecting his dynamic personality.
Because both saints are well-known and familiar figures, creating the statues was a challenge. For the other statues of saints from previous centuries, no one knows what they looked like, so they are idealized images, Father Vincent said.
Clay models were made of each statue prior to beginning the work in Carrara marble. The sculptor, Norbert Koehn, had carved the baptismal font and tabernacle tower, pedestal and tabernacle in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, during the 1996 Basilica renovation, so he was familiar with the other statues.
Koehn, who was born in Germany and studied at Oberammergau, had also completed the pedestals on which the four original statues stand, in addition to the new ones. The four original statues had previously been incorporated into the side altars that were once in place in the monastic choir area.
A video on the making and installation of the statues, done by Brother Placid Sellers, O.S.B., a monk of the Archabbey, is available at this weblink: https://youtu.be/3UOc4_T4igQ.
Cardinal Donald Wuerl was elevated to the College of Cardinals in 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI, and has been a long-time friend of Saint Vincent. For over two decades Cardinal Wuerl served on the Board of Regents of Saint Vincent Seminary and has been a frequent visitor to the college and seminary campuses to participate in various academic and cultural programs. He cherishes the high privilege of two honorary degrees from the college, one in Humane Letters in 1992, and the second in Theology in 2013. In 2002, he received the Presidential Medal.
Cardinal Wuerl's close ties to the Saint Vincent community were reinforced when he served as Executive Secretary to the United States Papal Seminary Study established by Pope John Paul II.
Cardinal Wuerl, a former Bishop of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, is well-known for his teaching ministry and, in spite of an active pastoral ministry in his archdiocese, is the author of numerous articles and over a dozen books, including the best-selling catechisms, The Teaching of Christ and The Catholic Way. His most recent books include The Light Is On For You (2014), To the Martyrs: A Reflection on the Supreme Christian Witness (2015), and Ways to Pray: Growing Closer to God (2015), and The Marriage God Wants for You (2016). He is also the author of the Gift of Saint John Paul II: A Celebration of his Enduring Legacy (2011).

Preheat oven to 170C/150C fan forced. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and season with salt. Cook, stirring, for 10-15 minutes or until edges are dark golden.
Add tomato. Cook for 10 minutes or until thickened slightly. Stir in cumin, ground coriander, paprika and chilli powder until aromatic. Remove from heat. Stir in yoghurt and fresh coriander (mixture may curdle).
Place the lamb and tomato mixture in a large flameproof casserole dish, turning the lamb to completely coat it in the tomato mixture. Roast, covered, for 3 hours or until the meat is very tender.
Meanwhile, use a small food processor or stick blender to process the lemon juice, extra cumin and fresh coriander, and remaining salt and green chilli to a smooth paste. Stir in the extra yoghurt. Set aside.
Carefully transfer the lamb to a serving platter. Spoon over the sauce. Use two forks to shred the meat. Serve with the coriander chutney, naan bread, mint leaves and Bombay potatoes, if you like.
