As faculty members at the University, we are writing to object to The Cavalier Daily's recent editorial arguing that former vice president Mike Pence is "not entitled to a platform" at the University. We are not interested in either defending or attacking Pence and whatever he might say. We are more concerned that The Cavalier Daily believes that his speech constitutes "violence" that "threatens the well-being and safety of students on Grounds." This speech-is-violence argument is not only wrong — no calls for violence will be issued April 12 — but also contradicts the letter and the spirit of the First Amendment, which generally creates space for a wide range of views to be expressed so long as the relevant speech does not incite violence. It is also a disservice to those who are the victims of actual physical violence — whether those injured and killed during the many civil rights struggles in American history, those who fought and died for our constitutional rights as members of our armed services or the brave people of Ukraine who are fighting and dying for their freedoms, including free speech...

Q: What's a good pattern for a single selection from a list of objects in Rails? I have a list of instances of some class.  One instance of that class must be "selected" at all times.  Therefore, when the first instance is created, it must be set as selected, and if a selected instance is removed, another from that class must be set as selected.
apple = Fruit.new
apple.favorite        # true

pear = Fruit.new
pear.make_favorite!
apple.favorite        # false
pear.favorite         # true

pear.destroy
apple.favorite        # true

I have encountered this scenario a few times while developing Rails apps and have always ended up with an unsatisfactory, bug-inducing pile of callbacks to try to cover all edge cases without causing infinite update loops.  Does anyone know a nice pattern for this?

A: The Fruit class should have a static member of type Fruit and it should point to the favorite fruit
on testing .favorite, it should return self==favorite
on make_favorite, you should change it to point to self
on destroy you should check if self==favorite , if so, just make it to point to Fruit.all.first - If no fruit exists it will become null
If you are creating new fruit and the favorite is null, make it to point to the new fruit (self)
Is there any problem with this mechanism?

A: Could you just use just add a boolean to the Fruit class and set the instance to true if Fruit.last

THERE could be good news on the horizon for Helensburgh drivers after proposals were unveiled for new monthly parking permits in Argyll and Bute – costing less than the projected cost of a weekly ticket.
Argyll and Bute Council members will debate the plans for new monthly and weekly permits when the authority's policy and resources committee meets on Thursday, February 14.
If the scheme is approved, a pilot will be held in the Oban Lorn and the Isles area for one year – and if the regime is deemed a success, the new arrangements would be rolled out across Argyll and Bute.
The authority currently charges for off-street car parking in areas with the greatest demand, with permits for three, six, nine and 12 months available alongside daily tickets.
Under the new proposals, a one-month pass would cost £60, while a weekly permit in Helensburgh and Lomond could set drivers back £64.90 depending on inflation.
A weekly permit, for use in any area car park, is proposed to be introduced costing £30 should the pilot be successful – but a report to Thursday's committee meeting states that this is not intended to replace the permits currently on offer.
The council's executive director of development and infrastructure Pippa Milne said: "This report is proposing to offer a greater choice to individuals wishing to use council car parks.
"This greater choice will be offered via the introduction of weekly and monthly parking permits for off-street car parks.
"It is proposed that the weekly and monthly parking permits will be initially introduced in the Oban, Lorn and the Isles area on a trial basis.
"This will allow the demand for these shorter duration parking permits to be monitored together with any implications for parking income.
"The pilot scheme would restrict the use of these shorter duration tickets to specified car parks within the Oban, Lorn and the Isles area.
A table is published as part of the document which shows that the proposed charge for a monthly permit is £60.
But a weekly ticket for a car park in Helensburgh and Lomond, along with Oban, Lorn and the Isles, is projected at £64.90, including possible inflation added for 2019/20.
On the potential for a £30 weekly parking ticket, Ms Milne added: "The intended use of this ticket is for customers who require to utilise our car parks for periods of up to a week, but it is not intended to replace the permits we offer.
The report also acknowledges that there is a risk of "potential to under recover car parking income due to offering weekly and monthly tickets at a reduced rate from that of the current daily charge".

Q: How update ListView in ListFragment from FragmentActivity? I'm using a ListFragment within an FragmentActivity together with a SimpleCursorAdapter and a modified CursorLoader. The modified CursorLoader simply issues rawQueries - no other changes.
At some point in the FragmentActivity I need to refetch the data/cursor that feeds the ListView in the ListFragment.
How can I do that?
Many thanks in advance.
Here's the FragmentActivity calling a method in the ListFragment:
public class ActivityList extends FragmentActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(final int requestCode, final int resultCode, final Intent intent) {
        ...
        processUpdateList();
    }

    ...

    private void processUpdateList() {
        Fragment fragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragmentlist);
        if (fragment != null) {
            ((FragmentList) fragment).requeryList();
        }
    }
}

And here's the ListFragment with the method that should initiate a re-query, re-load or re-paint of the ListView. ListView.invalidate() did not help - it did not change the shown data.
public class FragmentList extends ListFragment implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> {

    private SimpleCursorAdapter adapter;
    private Context             context;
    private ListView            listView;

    public void requeryList() {
    // listView.invalidate(); didn't re-query
        // TODO: How???
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(final Bundle bundle) {
        super.onActivityCreated(bundle);

        context = getActivity().getApplicationContext();

        listView = getListView();

        getActivity().getSupportLoaderManager().initLoader(MyConstants.LDR_TABLE1LIST, null, this);

        adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(context,
                                          R.layout.fragmentlist_row,
                                          null,
                                          new String[] { Table1.DESCRIPTION },
                                          new int[] { R.id.fragmentlist_row_description },
                                          CursorAdapter.FLAG_REGISTER_CONTENT_OBSERVER);
        setListAdapter(adapter);
        setListShown(false);

        listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);
    }

    @Override
    public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(final int id, final Bundle bundle) {
        MyCursorLoader loader = null;

        switch (id) {
            case MyConstants.LDR_TABLE1LIST:
                loader = new MyCursorLoader(context,
                                            MySQLiteOpenHelper.TABLE1_FETCH,
                                            null);
                break;
        }

        return loader;
    }

    @Override
    public void onLoaderReset(final Loader<Cursor> loader) {
        adapter.swapCursor(null);
    }

    @Override
    public void onLoadFinished(final Loader<Cursor> loader, final Cursor cursor) {
        adapter.swapCursor(cursor);

        setListShown(true);
    }
}

A: Try calling the method restartLoader(MyConstants.LDR_TABLE1LIST, null, this); the LoaderManager just provided in your requeryList() method.

A: You should not need to call notifyDataSetChanged(): the Loader takes care of that for you.  Your code looks pretty good; I don't immediately see anything wrong.  For reference, I suggest you compare your code to com.example.android.apis.app/LoaderThrottle.java in the API Demos sample app.

A: Loaders will re-use a Cursor whenever possible. If you request a Loader for a set of data that has not changed, the loader is smart and return the Cursor via onLoadFinished without doing any additional work, not even setting the position of the Cursor to -1.
Try calling Cursor.moveToPosition(-1) in onLoadFinished() to work around this problem.

Q: How to set a different connection timeout for specific service in OkHttp 3? In my application, all my services has 60 seconds connection timeout except one service has 3 minutes. However I can only set one timeout for OkHttp 3? Is it possible to set 180 seconds for that specific service?
OkHttpClient.Builder okHttpClient = newOkHttpClient.Builder()

                .connectTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                .readTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                .writeTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)

retrofit:
retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
                    .baseUrl(baseUrl)
                    .client(okHttpClient.build())
                    .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                    .build();

A: All the HTTP client configuration lives in OkHttpClient including proxy settings, timeouts, and caches. When you need to change the configuration of a single call, call OkHttpClient.newBuilder(). This returns a builder that shares the same connection pool, dispatcher, and configuration with the original client.
In example below, we make one request with a 500 ms timeout and another with a 3000 ms timeout.
private final OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

public void run() throws Exception {
Request request = new Request.Builder()
    .url("http://httpbin.org/delay/1") // This URL is served with a 1 second delay.
    .build();

// Copy to customize OkHttp for this request.
OkHttpClient client1 = client.newBuilder()
    .readTimeout(500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
    .build();
try (Response response = client1.newCall(request).execute()) {
  System.out.println("Response 1 succeeded: " + response);
} catch (IOException e) {
  System.out.println("Response 1 failed: " + e);
}

// Copy to customize OkHttp for this request.
OkHttpClient client2 = client.newBuilder()
    .readTimeout(3000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
    .build();
try (Response response = client2.newCall(request).execute()) {
  System.out.println("Response 2 succeeded: " + response);
} catch (IOException e) {
  System.out.println("Response 2 failed: " + e);
}
}

So you need to create different client for each request.

Completing DIY projects often gives us a confidence boost and fills us with pride—even when those projects are less than perfect (crooked IKEA furniture, anyone?). Daniel Mochon, a Tulane University marketing professor, explains on NPR that the "IKEA Effect" is a psychological phenomenon that can have wide-reaching implications outside of DIY.
The IKEA Effect is when we attach greater value to something we make than the same product built by others. That seems natural enough, since the act of creating inspires confidence and pride. In a series of studies, however, Mochon and his colleagues also found that people who feel incompetent might be more vulnerable to the IKEA Effect, since building your own stuff is a way to "signal to others that you are competent." Conversely, if you're given an esteem boost, you're not as interested in having to prove your competence and, perhaps, will be more objective about the value of your ideas/creations.
Seriously, though, Mochon's experiments actually have serious big-picture implications. The world over, companies and managers fall in love with their own ideas - and reject better ideas from the outside because they were not designed in-house.
It's a good reason - and this is true whether you are running a big complicated project involving millions of dollars or finishing a third-grade craft project - to have someone from the outside, who isn't invested in you or your work, give you some objective feedback before you show your project to the world.
That's not to say you shouldn't love that craft project, idea, or thing you made. DIY offers a lots of benefits; just be aware of the downsides too.

EPiServer Access Rights Wrongness
18 February 2013 Code No comments
Recently I had a bug raised on an EPiServer build which described an error message I'd never seen before. When attempting to assigned new group rights to a particular branch of the page tree, the admin user was faced with this error message:
After reflecting the code out I found the error message in a catch block around a database transaction. To understand what was happening, it's necessary to have a bit of knowledge about how EPiServer manages its access rights.
tblAccess
This table keeps track of user/group access rights. It contains records for each user and group stored against a page id. Crucially, the page id has a constraint on it – the page must exist in tblPage. This was the underlying cause of the error message – a non-existent page id was being inserted into the table. But how could that happen?
tblTree
This table describes the page hierarchy. It records the page id of a page against the page id of its children, along with an integer indicating the level of nesting. When access rights for a branch of the pagetree are updated, two things happen:
1) The current rights for the user/group are removed from tblAccess. The records are deleted using a set of records from tblTree as a master list of pages included in the branch.
2) New rights for the user/group are assigned. These are written to tblAccess, again using a set of page ids obtained from tblTree. However, there is no constraint on tblTree. As a result, the table can contain a page id for a non-existent page. The upshot of this is that when tblAccess is updated, it attempts to write an invalid page id, which fails, resulting in the error message above.
This should never happen
Although tblTree should ideally have a constraint on it, the above scenario should never happen. Left to its own devices EPiServer will take care of its table structure, so the situation decsribed here looks like the result of a manual database manipulation. Someone, at some point, has hand-deleted some pages. This illustrates the pitfalls of directly manipulating CMS data nicely – table constraints will have led the way to deleting all references to the deleted pages, but tblTree has been missed. This is a lesson we should all know already, but it never hurts to be reminded why the lesson exists.

I have two problems here :

Write error in stream

*Second :
In ReadClick procedure , when I assign Graph to the Image2 control ,  Nothing shown in the TImage control, and there is no error Msg.
How can fix this problems? What I'm doing wrong?

A:
This is not directly the answer to what is wrong with your code, but about the inability of the TImage component to work with various
  image types loaded from stream (because its image type detection is
  based only for files by the file extension). There is no image type detection for
  stream loading implemented (right now) internally in this component.

The TPicture class is internally based on file extensions for content loading (from files), so you're out of luck here with streams (unless there will be an image type in stream detection implemented by the vendor).
For you it means an extra work. You can e.g. save the image type into your DB storage into an extra field, do a case switch by the stored value (e.g. a small integer kind of column where for example 0 will mean BMP, 1 PNG, 2 JPEG, etc.). Or for example save the image type e.g. as the first byte of the BLOB stream (and do the switch by that). Then create an instance by this image type (TBitmap, TPngImage, TJpegImage, etc.), load it from the BLOB stream and assign it to the TPicture of your image component.
Or implement the image type in stream detection by yourself (by inspecting the raw data for known image type headers) and do the switch by the detection result and the rest as described without explicit storing the image type in DB.

In any case, the moral story here is that if you store nothing but an
  image file stream into your DB storage, how you'll then determine what
  type of image it is when you decide to save it as a file to your disk? Which extension
  will you choose when having only the raw data, .bmp, .png, .jpg, or...?
   That's just what TImage struggles with internally.

Last week's Rasmussen Reports survey reported that the majority (52%) of Americans consider their home to be a family's best investment at the same time that the number of people who are choosing to remodel their home is on the rise. According to the Houzz & Home survey, the number of people who planned improvement projects rose a dynamic 12 % last year. Of those, 40% wanted to remodel their home or build an addition.
Before you start your remodeling project you should take a personal inventory. Do you have the experience and skills to manage the project… and is the prospect appealing? Remodeling your home will require that you deal directly either with tradesmen, contractors, architects— or the whole bunch! It may be the greatest advantage to purchasing a new Wellington home: getting the additional space and amenities without the work.
For most of us, there really is no place like home. If you're like me, even when you've been on a terrific vacation, eventually you begin to yearn for the comfort and familiarity of your good old home base. Although one or two irksome features of your current house make moving seem like a no-brainer… before you commit to a move, be sure that you really want to leave. History, a sense of community, and the roots you've established in your current neighborhood are all reasons to opt for a remodel rather than a new home.
Selling your existing home and buying a new Palm Beach County home is a sizable financial commitment. Moving costs, transaction fees, commissions and taxes are part of the equation to weigh against remodeling costs. A sharp pencil is definitely in order before the dollars and cents can be realistically reckoned—particularly if your finances have improved, and the remodel is meant to bring your home up to an improved standard of living.
The danger lies in overcapitalizing a property in a location where the resale won't support the expense. Even a great home will still fetch a price that's relative to other properties in the neighborhood, obliterating the wished-for 'investment' value of extensive remodeling.
While it's important to be informed about the factual tradeoffs of your decision, it's likely the end choice will also be influenced by what just feels right—as it should be. Whether you're considering a remodel or a purchase, if you'd like to run some numbers, call me today for a confidential price evaluation!

Paris Apartment Renovation Reveals Hidden Revolutionary Frescoes
A Paris apartment hiding a revolutionary secret, a stone's throw from the 17th century arches of the Porte Saint-Denis © Sloft
It was supposed to be a straight-forward renovation project for Paris-based architect Agathe Marimbert. Her clients were first-time buyers, a young couple who had recently moved into their second floor apartment of an 18th century building in the 10th arrondissement before deciding it could use an upgrade. Work was in full swing; Agathe's plans for a remodelled, light-filled space were underway and builders were busy opening up walls when suddenly, things came to an unexpected halt. Something had been hiding behind the walls, and it wasn't asbestos.
Unexpected layers of history uncovered during the renovation © Agathe Marimbert
"During the restructuring of the apartment, we stumbled upon what appeared to be clandestine frescoes of French revolutionary supporters, which the previous owners had covered up during their installation of a bathroom," Marimbert tells us. "It was by re-opening this enclosed space between what is now the kitchen and the living room (which we think used to be a double doorway) that we uncovered signs of something quite astonishing beneath the paint".

Following the completion of the renovation, we sat down with rising Parisian architect Agathe Marimbert to find out more…
What exactly did you find on the frescoes?
First discovery of the hidden fresco © Agathe Marimbert
Agathe Marimbert: A large fresco adorns what is now the kitchen of the apartment, and depicts several scenes. On the left is the scene of a public caning or "bastonnade" as it's known in French. In the foreground, a nobleman is being caned by a woman in a headscarf and apron. Another woman of the clergy, perhaps a nun (fitting with the anti-religious atmosphere of the revolution) is seen imploring the mercy of another woman, who is hitting her with reeds.

AM: Above that scene are other symbols more clearly linked to the time of the revolution: a bloody Guillotine, which has just performed its function. Part of the fresco has been lost, but we can imagine a head rolling into the basket.
We also found all the iconic symbols of the revolution. The banner and the cockade of France. We can read two inscriptions which translate to "unity, indivisibility of the republic, liberty equality, fraternity or death" and "we break with religious superstitions and place one's faith in the supreme being and the rationality of enlightenment."
Revolutionary scenes discovered during renovation © Agathe Marimbert
AM: Other notable symbols of resistance we see are the Phrygian cap (which Marianne would wear later), the masonic eye (a reference to the Supreme Being), bayonets and pitchforks (reminding us that the lower classes fought with whatever was available to them). There are depictions of Roman civil servants known as lictors who were typically responsible for enforcing court decisions. Having also succeeded the monarchy, the Roman republic was a constant source of reference for the revolutionaries.

AM: A third scene depicts the assault on a manor by a troop attacking with a cannon. The attackers are encouraged by a violin player in the foreground, who we imagine might have lead them with a revolutionary anthem such as "La Carmagnole".
Who is behind the works?
AM: The building dates to the 1780s, and according to records, used to be the commercial headquarters to a brotherhood of trunk makers. What is now my clients' apartment on the second floor would have been the business' office.

AM: Our trunk makers may very well be behind the frescoes. It's commonly known that the vast majority of revolutionaries were provincial folks, artisans in particular, led by major players of a political movement known as the Club des Jacobins…

AM: We brought in an experienced restorer who has restored 18th century finds before but it's been a struggle to fully identify and date the fresco without a signature. On a painting, typically we have more clues such as the frame, the canvas support etc. There is always the possibility that it had been added to over time before it was eventually covered up.

Does it often happen in Paris to find frescoes behind walls?
AM: This is the first time this has happened to me and I don't know any professional peers that have encountered something like this in their work here in Paris. It's amazing that the previous owner just painted over them, as if they made sure not to damage them too much while hiding them. In general, people either keep frescoes (especially those on the ceiling which are more frequent and recent) or destroy them completely by sanding them down. Unfortunately, our builders had already drilling into parts of the wall before the hidden frescoes became apparent, but as soon as they noticed traces of something beneath the layers, they called me over. Luckily, my clients happen to be very passionate about history. I can't say many other customers would have chosen to keep these frescoes because they have quite a strong presence visually. Not everyone wants to have breakfast every day in front of a nun's bare buttocks or a bloody guillotine.

Is there a protocol to follow when finding things like this?
AM: One should always bring in a specialist to get an opinion on what you're discovering, but unfortunately, it's rare that interiors are under protection, which all too often allows owners to ransack woodwork, painted decorations, and sculptural work. In our case, had previous owners left some kind of record of what was underneath the layers, who knows what else we might have found. The entire apartment might have been covered in 18th century graffiti. What we've sadly lost is lost forever, but we can recover and clean damaged elements and do it justice.

Do you think this increased the value of the apartment? Should we all start scratching behind our walls for treasure?!
AM: I think it certainly increases the value and cachet of the apartment. It's always worth learning about the history of our buildings. Haussmann buildings may hold less surprises, but older buildings must surely still contain some nuggets waiting to be discovered.

Following this experience, do you hope to make similar discoveries in your career as an architect?
That would be great! Who doesn't want to reveal what is hidden?! As an architect, finding clues to the original structure of the building is always fascinating. These kinds of discoveries anchor the project in a historical context and give it so much more meaning.

The victim died just over a fortnight after being attacked
Oxford Crown Court (Image: Google)
A 17-year-old boy from Milton Keynes has pleaded guilty to manslaughter - after a man died after being stabbed with a screwdriver.
The victim, 43-year-old Robin Williamson, was assaulted and stabbed with the tool in Wood Farm, Oxford on October 27 2019.
He died on November 12 - with a post-mortem examination showing the death was a result of the assault.
A murder trial was set to take place later this month, however the teenager - who cannot be named for legal reasons - pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
Senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Bosley, of Thames Valley Police, said: "Our thoughts, as ever remain with the family and friends of Mr Williamson who tragically lost his life.
"On consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service and with support from the victim's family, a plea of manslaughter has been accepted.
"The offender in this crime has admitted his involvement in the death of Mr Williamson.
"I would like to thank the family for their support throughout our investigation and I hope that this conviction gives them some closure and solace following the death their loved one."
A 16-year-old boy from Banbury, who was also due to stand trial, has been acquitted of all charges.
The Milton Keynes teenager will be sentenced on March 1 at Oxford Crown Court.

I'm a wedding photographer, based in Derry, who adopts a documentary/reportage/photo-journalistic style; allowing me to discretely capture the real moments of your day as they naturally happen, with little to no interference - allowing you to concentrate on what matters most, enjoying as much time as possible with your family and friends.
I love to take photographs that remind of how your wedding day felt, as well as how it looked. Naturally captured photographs that when you look back on will remind you of the special moments from your wedding day, the special people you shared it with, and the real emotion you felt - rather than photographs that simply remind you of being told where to stand, what to do or even what emotion you should be showing.
I've enjoyed documenting weddings in many well-known local venues, including Lough Eske Castle Hotel, The Red Door Country House, Bishop's Gate Hotel, An Grianan Hotel, Redcastle Hotel, Ballyliffen Lodge Hotel, Kee's Hotel, Mount Errigal Hotel, Maldron Hotel, Inishowen Gateway Hotel, Silver Tassie Hotel, and Ballyscullion Park . I love both the familiarity of the old favourites, and the excitement of working in a venue for the first time - and am looking forward to adding Drenagh House to my site soon.

IPX360 Solutions New North American Market Agent For CheckMyCCTV Software Application
With this move, CheckMySystems aims to bring the software to an international audience
CheckMySystems - the CCTV health and operation monitoring software specialist - has signed-up electronic security product provider IPX360 Solutions to act as its agent for 'CheckMyCCTV' in the North American market. This is a major step forward in CheckMySystems' desire to bring the software to an international audience following its successful UK launch.
The CheckMyCCTV application, to be offered by IPX360 Solutions across the US and Canada, is designed to automatically identify and report specific video surveillance system faults as soon as they are detected. Typical issues that can be flagged-up by CheckMyCCTV include: camera failures, hard disk failures, recording issues, time accuracy problems, and network connection failures. Early detection helps to ensure that problems are resolved before they can impact, negatively, on system performance.
Following the landmark deal announced recently, IPX360 Solutions is planning to preview CheckMyCCTV's advanced capabilities in a series of one-to-one meetings with security distributors and monitoring station representatives at the Security Canada Expo taking place in Toronto, Canada. The 'soft launch' of CheckMyCCTV is to be followed by the 'official' North American unveiling of the video surveillance health check software on IPX360 Solution's booth (219) during the SecureTech event (Ottawa - October 30, 31).
Moving ahead, IPX360 Solutions sees tremendous potential in targeting CheckMyCCTV at American and Canadian security distributors and owners of large-scale and multiple sites. Central stations are another focus, where interest has already been expressed in CheckMyCCTV by providers, given its ability to enhance the efficiency of their operations and, crucially, the system status information that can be provided to customers.
"We are very excited to be working with IPX360 Solutions Inc. in our efforts to bring CheckMyCCTV to new customers in North America.."
Regis Glorieux, President of IPX360 Solutions, explains what attracted him to the CheckMyCCTV solution: "In my view there is a real need for a new approach to checking on video surveillance systems in the US and Canada. When working with, and for distributors, I regularly came across recorders that were simply not working and may have been out of action for weeks or even longer. I am certainly not alone in this.
"Often the first time the customer realised anything was amiss was when there was an incident and they couldn't retrieve the video. With CheckMyCCTV in place these problems are picked-up automatically, and highlighted by an on-screen warning at a monitoring station or even via a smart phone 'app', so no one needs to be left in the dark.
"Another factor which is very appealing, and differentiates CheckMyCCTV from less capable solutions, is the ability of the software to work with multiple video surveillance system brands. Traditionally, such solutions have tended to be very much manufacturer specific. This isn't very practical for customers who want to avoid the headache of trying to run four or five pieces of software simultaneously. Now with CheckMyCCTV they can access a single, convenient interface for all important status checking."
Commented Darren Rewston, Founder and Managing Director of CheckMySystems Ltd: "We are very excited to be working with IPX360 Solutions Inc. in our efforts to bring CheckMyCCTV to new customers in North America. The experience we have had to date in the UK, working with monitoring stations, large retailers and other users, shows that CheckMyCCTV can make a positive difference to fault finding and how the maintenance of video surveillance systems is managed. We expect that customers in the US and Canada will soon appreciate these practical benefits for themselves.
"At CheckMySystems we realize that there can be no room for complacency where the well being of video surveillance systems are concerned. The need to implement effective checks was underlined in a snapshot survey we conducted of 300 sites across the UK. Before CheckMyCCTV was implemented a worrying 75% of sites had one or more issues affecting the operational performance of the CCTV system, ranging from daylight saving time not being updated, to camera failures, recording problems, and hard disk issues."
CheckMyCCTV is currently compatible with over 25 video surveillance system brands and OEMs, including: Samsung, Costar, HikVision, American Dynamics, Dedicated Micros, Xtralis, and Dahua, with more being added to this list all the time.

In our society today we are all seeking quick and easy results without much effort. Whilst this is achievable for some, long term results (i.e. for the rest of your life) are often elusive for those who seek these quick and easy solutions.
There is no magic pill, potion, twelve week shred program that will instantly make you the way you want to be. A classic example of this is the contestants on some of the popular weight loss shows who show huge amounts of weight loss. The only problem is this result is not sustainable.
If you want to lose weight and keep it off, start by making small daily improvements to your day and watch over time the things you can achieve. Here are some small changes below that you can make that can have an impact on your journey. Regardless if your journey is about weight loss, getting fitter, being ready for an event or just being more active.
Not enough time in the day.Schedule time for yourself in your diary. Make this non negotiable. I often hear from parents that they don't have time for themselves. Whilst this is correct, who is the one who decides what time gets given to what activities? YOU! If you get out of bed 1/2 hr earlier every day, it gives you an extra 3 1/2 hours a week. imagine what you could achieve with that. If you wish you had more sleep – go to bed earlier and switch off all devices. Going to bed each night at a reasonable time will give you the extra sleep you desire and your body will thank you for it.
Not eating the right foods or making poor choices.Schedule time for meal preparation. I spend most Sunday afternoons cooking my vegetables for the week. I steam everything (I believe the healthier and tastier way to eat), place them in air tight containers and then put them in the fridge. Each night when it comes to dinner I just re heat and cook the meat I am having with it. Takes me about 40 mins to do a weeks worth. Before all the parents scream I can't do this, I say how can you not afford to do this. It would add some much more time to your evening if this was done ahead of time.
My kids take all my time up and I have no time for myself.This is always a contentious topic. Parents will argue that they don't have time in their day to exercise, eat right and basically they focus just on their kids and forget about themselves! Big problem here is that your kids are taking the lead on how to look after themselves from how you yourself look after you! If they see you eating poorly and being sedentary, guess what? They will mirror this activity. I see this all the time. Your number one priority should be looking after yourself.Your children are like sponges when it comes to learning behaviours from their parents. Look after yourself and your kids will learn to do the same. If you're busy running the kids around to different activities during the week, find a way to work in some exercise whilst they are busy. 1/2 hour a day can make a huge impact on your health plus you are showing your kids the importance of looking after themselves as well.
Work is so busy I can't leave my desk even for lunch. Sitting at your desk for hours on end is now consider as dangerous or if not more than smoking. With the advent of computers on every desk and our jobs circled around the digital age we have become even more sedentary in the last few years than ever before. Taking half an hour to go outside get some vitamin D from the sun, stretching your legs and blood pumping around your body is not going to be the end of the work when it comes to work. But your ever expanding waist line will if you become more sedentary.Just think about it in these terms, you drive or commute to work lets say its an hour at least. Then you're spending up to 7-8 hours a day in the office and then the commute home – another hour. In just one day without counting sleep and watching tv of an evening, the amount of time sitting still is close to 10+ hours. Almost have your day! Scary! No wonder our society is getting more and more over weight. Take that half an hour get outside. Even better make an hour lunch break a priority. You will feel better for it, your health will be better and in the end your productivity for your boss will be too. They will thank you for it.

Dohshinbo | Daily Life in Japan, Muravej Co.
We liked a Chinese restaurant, Dohshinbo, which was bankrupted. We already found that the place had been replaced by a new Chinese restaurant. Today, Katya and I went to the new restaurant, "Chochinroh". The inside was the same. No customers except us, which was unfortunately the same, too. The menu was, of course, changed. Katya ordered spicy chicken and I ordered grilled vegetables. Tastes were satisfactory, although it was a bit modified in a Japanese style. Price was higher, too. Although we still miss Doshinboh, we will visit this Chinese restaurant again.

Human Rights Law (LLM)
LLM | Postgraduate Taught
This LLM provides students with an opportunity to gain an in-depth appreciation of global human rights standards and the interrelationship between international standards and national practice. In particular, we consider ways in which human rights could be protected more effectively so that people everywhere can realise their full human dignity.
The focus is on international and comparative human rights law (including at regional levels in Europe, Africa and the Americas). The School's joint expertise is harnessed so as to provide a vibrant and relevant course which will stimulate the hearts as well as the minds of students.
The protection of human rights at the international level is a relatively new branch of law. There has been a huge growth in the number and variety of human rights standards set out in international treaties, in national constitutions, and in other so-called 'soft law' documents. These standards are not always fully implemented and the mechanisms for trying to get them implemented are sometimes defective.
The School has more than 25 years' experience in delivering an LLM in Human Rights Law. The focus is on international and comparative human rights law with a concentration on the practice of human rights, especially in the contexts of discrimination, armed conflicts, terrorism and migration.
Human Rights Law highlights
We are dedicated to student employability and our strong industry links mean over 94% of Queen's postgraduates are in employment or further study six months after graduation. The Human Rights Centre has strong contacts with local NGOs and other human rights institutions and can assist students with internship/voluntary work. Graduates have found jobs in the UN, the EU and the Council of Europe, as well as statutory bodies and a wide range of international and national NGOs. Others have found the LLM to constitute an extremely valuable addition to their work as legal professionals. Furthermore, this Masters provides an excellent base for further study towards a research degree such as a PhD, which in turn may lead on to an academic career.

Learning Opportunities:
The Law School at Queen's is ranked as one of the top Schools in the UK and Ireland. There are 850 undergraduate students enrolled in the School, 200 postgraduates, 50 PhD students and over 50 members of academic staff. You will be taught by scholars from all over the world, many of whom have international reputations in their fields and all are committed teachers and researchers. Students will also have access to an excellent law section in the library and extensive IT facilities.
The School operates a proactive system of student support. Advisers of Studies are allocated to each degree programme tasked to guide and support you throughout your time with us, together with the School's experienced and helpful administrative staff. We place considerable emphasis on facilitating good communication between staff and students. To this end, a Staff-Student Consultative Committee, comprised of elected student representatives, the Director of Graduate Studies and other members of academic staff, meet at regular intervals throughout the academic year. This Committee provides students with a forum in which to raise matters of concern to them and also enables the School to keep students informed about matters affecting the School and wider university.
At Queen's, we aim to deliver a high quality learning environment that embeds intellectual curiosity, innovation and best practice in learning, teaching and student support to enable students to achieve their full academic potential.
We do this by providing a range of learning experiences which enables our students to engage with subject experts, develop attributes and perspectives that will equip them for life and work in a global society and make use of innovative technologies and a world class library that enhances their development as independent, life-long learners. Examples of the opportunities provided for learning on this course are:
E-Learning technologies
Information associated with lectures and assignments is communicated via a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) called Queen's Online.

Provide information about topics as a starting point for further self-directed private study/reading. Lectures also provide opportunities to ask questions, gain some feedback and advice on assessments (normally delivered in large groups to all year group peers).
Self-directed study
This is an essential part of life as a Queen's Law student when important private reading and research, engagement with e-learning resources, reflection on feedback to date and assignment research and preparation work is carried out.
Seminars/tutorials
These provide an opportunity for students to engage with academic staff who have specialist knowledge of the topic, to ask questions of them and to assess their own progress and understanding with the support of peers.

Ubank Chatbots Bots AI Startup Fudnding
UBank launches Australia's first artificial intelligence chatbot for Home Loans
By Nand Kishor |Email | May 15, 2017 | 8799 Views
UBank has today unveiled RoboChat, Australia's first artificial intelligence chatbot for home loans that will answer customer questions in real time to simplify the process of completing a home loan application.
RoboChat will be available as a virtual assistant within the home loan section of UBank's website to help guide customers through the home loan application form, or help with general questions they may have.
Built with IBM Watson, RoboChat has been trained to respond in natural language to thousands of customer questions across 40 core home loan topics.
On-the-spot help will be provided for questions such as "what term do you offer on home loans" and "do you offer redraws and how do they work" to decrease the time needed to complete new applications.
The digital bank has ensured the bot doesn't provide cold, direct responses but has a sense of humour. For example, if you ask, "how much does a hipster weigh?" it will respond "an Instagram".
CEO of UBank Lee Hatton said the goal of the innovative new artificial intelligence chatbot is to make applying for a home loan simpler and more streamlined.
"If you've gathered all of your paperwork, the form can be completed in as little time as it takes you to have your breakfast," Hatton said.
While chatbots may be a welcome innovation for customers struggling with home loan processes, the advent of artificial intelligence into more areas of society has many concerned for their own jobs.
Hatton ensured that the introduction of this new virtual assistant wouldn't replace any of the physical customer service employees at the bank, but instead would work alongside the existing team.
"RoboChat will be a very welcome addition to our team of customer service experts. UBank will still have experienced staff on hand to chat on the phone, via email and our live online chat offering, RoboChat will provide an added option for those needing quick responses or those close to finalising the form," he said.
We can expect to see more of these bots emerging as organisations realise their power and ability to transform the customer experience. Last year TransferWise's report revealed Australia to be the most "fintech-ready"country, with a quarter (26%) of Aussies expecting to use fintech for daily banking by 2020.
Vice president at IBM Watson Brock Douglas said more and more organisations are looking to virtual assistants to deepen the customer experience and increase productivity for employees.
"This year IBM Watson will engage with more than a billion people, across 20 industries. UBank's work with IBM Watson is a powerful example of how organisations are leveraging cognitive virtual assistants that have the ability to engage in a conversation, ask questions, learn and respond in context - as opposed to providing stock responses," said Douglas.
RoboChat is still in training using data from customer questions, and it will continue to learn and become more user-friendly as more customers engage with the bot. Read More

~This is an ever changing list so please keep a watch out for updates or cancellations!!!
(We are wildcrafting for this month) We will update if things change.
We will add our winter schedule later when we know more of which ones we will be getting into! So keep an eye out....we hope to see you at one of our shows!!!


I'm dreaming again…this time of Brazil and Columbia. Anyone else having the same dream?
Fabulous weekend…Indian summer. Yesterday, I made it to a dance class that I used to go to last year. It was great to be jazzing and jiggying with it so early in the morning. Ran errands after that and then Kahila and I wandered through place de molard and lunched in old town, as we watched the costumed Ninja Turtles, detectives and other brightly masked characters playing out whichever fairytale they were in.
We strolled by the lake and found a little boat to carry us away. It was labouress! We were showered by the jet d'eau. It felt like being on the Maid of the Mist, though I've never done that. Finding a parking spot for our boat was a challenge as the large swans felt they owned the place. Which probably should be the case.
I walked along the water until I got to my place and rested for a couple of hours before getting ready to go to a housewarming in Chambessy. Friends from Kenya have moved here. I fail to understand how I can handle such complex transportation systems in places like Delhi or London with such ease. I have a 'feel' for it. But when it comes to simple, more direct ways of traveling, such as in Geneva, I find it virtually impossible to get to my destination without misplacing myself. What should have taken me 15 minutes, took 1 hour and 45 minutes, by the time I got off the wrong train, caught a tram back to the main station, found the right train and then walked to the complex. All that exercise…I deserved a few drinks, double helpings of food and a plateful of brownies and apple crumble. Okay, so maybe I over did it.
People from here and there were at the party. I had met Estelle once before. Interesting one. She works in the area of climate change and corruption. Her husband I believe, works for an oil company. Contradiction. He was not there. The two of them have managed to be in the type of marriage that many in my field choose…married but living apart. It has been 10 years for them. At least he will be leaving the States soon and moving to the Netherlands in the new year. But I wonder how they will merge when they both end up living under the same roof some day.
Estelle, like me, seems to put her trust in other people's hands while traveling to foreign countries. We shared our experiences of getting into strangers cars, having coffee with 'dangerous' folk, meeting some of the most interesting people because of these experiences, and feeling as though someone must be watching over us. I know that I must come across people who are not so 'pure' at times, I just cannot see it so easily. For example, a few weekends ago, Kahila and I went out in Geneva and met an interesting group. Well, they seemed ordinary to me, but she picked up on some vibe and sensed that we were not the 'best' to be hanging out with. She was also able to pin point to a certain degree why she felt they were who she thought they were. Without getting into so many details, I would never have figured it out. It was only when one of them said to me at some point in the night…'sometimes you will meet good people, and sometimes not so good, you should be careful', did I realize she was right and that he was warning me himself about the people that he was amongst. I think her intuition is strong and though she is super friendly and outgoing, she can still spot the shades of grey.
Well, at least Estelle and I have found one another. Tomorrow, we are going to go to the dance class together. It will be her first time. I hope her eyelashes do not fall off.
Yesterday night, I came home to the smells of the bakery. Yes, I still live above the tantalizing bakery where I am succumbed to the smells of bread and croissants by midnight. Often, I cannot resist. Yesterday though, there was no room in the belly.
Today, it is time to prepare for my next adventure. Kenya, I am coming. Mombasa, I shall be home soon.

Mission offering Pickleball sport to residents
By Jose De Leon III | April 23, 2019 | 0
This article originally appeared in the Progress Times issue dated Friday, April 19, 2019 and has been amended to clarify Susan Hillsbury's name and how to register for pickleball.
As an ambassador for pickleball-a sport that combines ping pong, tennis and badminton, Joyce Mitchell has seen players benefit from the sport. One of her players, for example, received the full use of her arm again after she had been in a car accident.
"Her arm was practically severed off and had to be reattached," Mitchell recalled. "Since she essentially had no muscles in her arm she had to hold the arm that was holding the pickleball paddle as she played."
Despite this impediment, Mitchell remembers that the player, Susan Hillsbury, had a lot of fun playing it and was laughing throughout a pickleball game.
"Four months after her accident she began to move her arm again," Mitchell said. "Susan's doctor was amazed at her recovery and even more so when she told the doctor it was because of regularly playing pickleball. It's a sport but when you play it, it doesn't feel like exercise because you're having so much fun."
As an ambassador for the sport, Mitchell oversees Pickleball in the cities of Pharr and Mission, the latter of which hosts Pickleball games weekdays in the city's Parks and Recreation Center.
In the game, groups of people hit a Wiffle ball over a net. Mission residents can enjoy the game in the center's six pickleball courts Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30 am through noon and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 p.m. though 4 p.m. year-round.
Now, the Mission Parks and Recreations department is hoping to increase attention in the sport this summer with a camp for kids and a pickleball demonstration for adults this summer.
The program for kids will be held every Tuesday and Thursday mornings beginning June 4 and ending July 15.
Kids aged 10 through 15 are invited to attend the six-week program for $20 as they play the sport from 9 a.m. through noon.
The demonstration, set for Saturday, May 4, is free and will introduce residents to the sport that Mitchell says is the fastest growing one in the country.
"As this is a sport that was created in the north, we always have Winter Texans during their season playing this but there aren't a lot of locals who are aware pickleball exists," Mitchell said. "We're hoping to attract new players with this free demonstration next month where people can learn about the sport and try it out. All you need is a good pair of tennis shoes to play. We'll provide the paddles."
Among one of the regular pickleball players in the city is Lillian Palmer, an 83-year-old Mission resident. She was among a dozen senior citizens enjoying a game of pickleball Monday. She said she plays the sport at least four times a week.
"I remember I hated this sport until I started getting good at it," Palmer said. "After playing it for a while I've had my doctors tell me they wish all their patients were like me. It keeps me young and active, what else would I be doing all day? Watching TV?"
As a certified personal trainer, Mitchell said the sport offers many benefits, and can be played by all.
"People don't realize they're working out as they play and then the next thing you know, they're moving faster, doing things they weren't able to do just a couple of months prior to that while laughing and having a good time," Mitchell said. "It's very social, they get to get out and meet people and have lots of fun. With all the obesity and diabetes in the valley, this is something we are promoting as a lifetime sport that can help you stay active with very little investment.".
For more information on the sport and the demonstration and children's camp, contact Joyce Mitchell at 682-556-4738.
To register for the demonstration and kid's camp, contact the Mission Parks and Recreation Department at (956) 580-8760.

We show that a Kueker simple theory eliminates ∃∞ and densely interprets weakly minimal formulas. As part of the proof we generalize Hrushovski's dichotomy for almost complete formulas to simple theories. We conclude that in a unidimensional simple theory an almost-complete formula is either weakly minimal or trivially-almost-complete. We also observe that a small unidimensional simple theory is supersimple of finite SU-rank.
