Q: PostgreSQL: how to insert rows from text file into database table? How may one read & insert rows from a textfile containing many URLs in [x, y, z] form for example:
1 google com (separated by tabs)
into a database table (without having to copy every single line out manually)?
I'm new at programming!
Thank you for your time and help kind sirs and madams!

        System.out.println(rows + " rows inserted.");
    }
}

A: You need to read the data in the loop. Also you should use PrepareStatement with executeBatch().
Below is the relevant modified code. I have assumed that your URLs are separated by single space. You can change the delimiter in the line.split().
Statement createStatement = null;
PreparedStatement insertStatement = null;
try {
    BufferedReader fileReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("TopURLs"));
    String line = null;
    createStatement = connection.createStatement();
    createStatement.executeUpdate("CREATE TABLE dotcom (rank integer PRIMARY KEY, domainName varchar(128), domainType varchar(128))");

    connection.setAutoCommit(false);//commit whole batch at the end
    insertStatement = connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO dotcom VALUES (?, ?, ?)");

    while ( (line = fileReader.readLine()) != null) {
        line = fileReader.readLine();
        String[] urls = line.split(" ");//space or any other delimiter that you're using
        insertStatement.setString(1, urls[0]);
        insertStatement.setString(2, urls[1]);
        insertStatement.setString(3, urls[2]);

        insertStatement.addBatch();
    }
    insertStatement.executeBatch();
    connection.commit();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
    if(connection != null) {
        connection.setAutoCommit(true);
    }
    if(createStatement != null) {
        createStatement.close();
    }
    if(insertStatement != null) {
        insertStatement.close();
    }
}

A: What you can do is:

*

*Get each line from file and store it as a String

*

*So change while (fileReader.readLine() != null) to while ((thisLine = fileReader.readLine()) != null)

*Since your data is tab delimited, you need to split it by tab and store as an array String[]

*

*Do this: String[] fields = thisLine.split("\t");

*Now you can loop through this array and concatenate to create the insert query

*

*Do this: for (String s : fields) { //concatenate each field }

*Execute the query

Liberals & Their Never-Ending Gun Grabbing Agenda
A MUST READ Article that says it all!
Liberals want your guns. Its just that simple. The question is "why"? If you jumped to something idealistic like, "They care about gun violence", or "They're trying to save the children", that's sweet, but to the extent they care about either of those things, its only as a side-benefit of their true agenda. What they REALLY care about is power. Period. Read on.
Liberals Want to Grab Guns...but Who Will Do the Grabbing?
- Christopher Skeet, American Thinker
I don't think I'm alone when I say it's frustrating having the same conversation over and over and over again. I'm frustrated trying to explain the difference between a semi-automatic and a "military-style assault" weapon, parrying asinine retorts of how our Founding Fathers "only had muskets," and being told by strangers what weapons I "don't need." I'm frustrated with citing statistical evidence showing that the vast majority of gun violence in America is the result of suicides and of criminals who have obtained their guns illegally. I'm frustrated with trying to justify my personal choices to people who are completely ignorant about guns and who are completely unwilling to learn.
I'm frustrated because it's an exercise in futility. They return the very next day to push their very same debunked talking points that I've spent the last conversation refuting. Deploying factual evidence works only when dealing with people for whom factual evidence is valued, acknowledged, and conceded. When they simply ignore it and continue to talk over you, there is no benefit in trying to make them see reason. It is like talking to a brick wall.
If reducing gun violence were an honest aim of the Left, leftists would follow the evidence where it leads. But leftists oppose gun ownership not out of any heartfelt reaction to mass shootings (though they routinely go through the necessary public genuflections). They don't care about dead students, dead Walmart shoppers, dead worshipers, dead police, or dead black Americans. They don't care about getting help for the mentally ill. They care about the consolidation of political power into a centralized totalitarian entity, which they arrogantly assume they possess the competence to administer.
Lawmakers such as state senator Julie Morrison (D-Ill.) have smugly threatened mass confiscation, and others such as Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) have suggested prosecution and prison time for noncompliance with mandatory buyback programs. During the September 12 debate, the floundering Robert Francis O'Rourke (D-Nowhere) gazed up from his water bong to yelp, "Hell, yes, we are going to take your AR-15!"
Scary words, to be sure. But these threats raise the question of who exactly they plan on sending out to do the actual confiscating. Do something! they scream from the podiums and across the Twittersphere, with no intention of ever actually doing that "something" themselves. The bell-collared audience who noisily bleated their approval for O'Rourke's rhetorical feed bucket? They're not going to "do something," either, other than demand someone else do it.
That's the job of the police, they say? Good luck with that. Out of the 250 million adults living in the United States, approximately one third of them own one or more guns. That's over 80 million doors for police to bust down in unconstitutional searches and seizures (these would be clear violations of the Fourth Amendment, but we wouldn't even be having this discussion if the Bill of Rights were something the Left even pretended to respect).
Like combat soldiers, police can refuse orders they deem immoral or unconstitutional. Polls continuously show (here, here, and here) that police overwhelmingly support the right of law-abiding citizens to own semi-automatic rifles, including AR-15s. So how successful will be the efforts of the anti-police Left to convince the very same officers they hate to bust into American homes to steal guns the police think they have a right to own? The growing trend of elected sheriffs and officials creating Second Amendment sanctuaries by publicly opting to not enforce unconstitutional gun laws should give pause to leftists who feel that America's police will do their dirty work for them.
Even if a hypothetical Presidente O'Rourke were able to cajole every American police officer to act as his own personal Stasi, such a force would still be inadequate for the task of disarming millions of gun-owners. This reality is amplified by the fact that about three quarters of gun-owners say gun ownership is essential to their freedom, giving a sense of just how much non-compliance such an effort would encounter.
Nor should they count on the members of a woke population to voluntarily disarm themselves. The much touted New Zealand buyback program has confiscated under 10% of known banned weapons. Mandatory registration laws in deep blue Connecticut, New York, and California have garnered compliance rates of 15%, 4%, and 3%, respectively. This is not even for confiscation, but for registration only. How well do they think buyback programs will fare in Texas or Ohio?
Nope. If they want guns confiscated, they'll have to do it themselves.
Their hesitation isn't from lack of logistical capability. The one skill in which the Left exudes competence is the capacity to organize people. Leftists organized volunteers to act as human shields for Saddam's oil fields in 2003. They organize the Occupy squatter cities and the state capitol rotunda takeovers. They organize speaker shout-downs, the campus shutdowns, and the Antifa blackshirts who terrorize our streets. They organize the mobs who pull down statues, who chase conservatives out of restaurants, and who threaten the homes of Tucker Carlson and Mitch McConnell. If they're so insistent on disarming the populace, they have the means and enmity to attempt it. What they lack, unsurprisingly, is courage to match their convictions.
I say "attempt." Most gun-owners realize that gaggles of welterweight pajama boys vacillating aimlessly between the 14th and 37th genders aren't going to don the tactical helmets and pick up the battering rams any time soon, even if they physically could. Robert Francis O'Rourke certainly isn't going to put down his sippy cup to lead the charge. Yes, they're all very tough when dozens of them, while masked, are able to beat unarmed reporters or harass 9/11 widows, knowing full well their city's law enforcement has been ordered by their socialist mayor not to intervene. But as for breaking into unfamiliar houses to steal from heavily armed and highly motivated citizens? The day they try is the day they learn what actual "resistance" looks like.
Do something? We agree. Do something.
Better put: Medicare for None! The liberal media likes to tout that a majority of Americans favor single payor healthcare and/or guaranteed coverage. However, when Americans are asked specific quesitons that involve just how this could occur, the kinds of sacrifices that would be needed, and the drastic change in life style that would be required, that majority of Americans language quickly gets reduced to a minority. Here are the facts.
When asked "Do you favor Medicare-for-all if it will do the following:" here are the percentages from those asked.
(This is a Kaiser Family Foundation poll conducted in January 2019. Click Here for information on methodology as well as other healthcare poll results.)
Polls - What You Should Know
Polls no longer reflect the news. Polls are now used to create the news. Before you trust any poll you should ask yourself the following:
1. Who paid for the poll?
There may be an agenda behind it
Are those sponsoring the poll ethical
2. Who was polled?
What area of the country
Landline only (most polls do not access cell phones)
"Adults", "Registered Voters", or "Likely voters" (statistics show "likely voters" are the most reliable group)
3. What questions were asked?
This is critical as very often the answer depends on the way the question was asked
4. How were the questions worded?
This is critical as poorly worded questions can "lead" people to the answers desired by the people paying for the poll!
5. What is the margin of error?
Obviously, the greater the margin of error, the less accurate the poll results.
Unless you can answer those questions, be highly suspicious of "polls indicate" information, especially in today's politically driven news cycle.
Examples of misleading polls:
Medicare for All - see the section above. The original poll used did not ask any questions about "how" such coverage would be achieved. The question asked was essentially, "do you like the idea". Then, liberal media and politicians use the "shucks, of course!" response to mislead the public into thinking most Americans want single payor healthcare.
The border wall. When you hear that most Americans oppose the border wall, don't believe it! The poll cited asked whether "you favor a 2000 mile shore-to-shore wall". Even President Trump would have to say "no". Then, those same liberals use the resulting "of course not" to report most Americans don't want a wall. In truth, when asked about strategically built walls as part of an entire security system, Americans do, in fact, favor building the wall.
HOW questions are asked, who is asked, what part of the country, and who is paying for the information are all critical pieces of information in determining whether any poll reflects real opinions or is simply designed to mislead.
Here are some articles from authors who have extensively researched the topic WITHOUT injecting the element of power and control into the equation. Click the graphic to read more.
"The interesting thing about the Green New Deal, is it wasn't originally a climate thing at all. Do you guys think of it as a climate thing? Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing."

Sophisticated identification forgery lab located and dismantled in Richmond, B.C. residence
January 19, 2023 British Columbia, Fraud, RCMP BC, Richmond
Richmond RCMP
Richmond, BC – On December 22, 2022, Richmond RCMP Economic Crime Unit (ECU) and Drug Target Team executed a search warrant at a residence of a suspected forgery lab. Upon entering, officers discovered evidence consistent with a sophisticated forged identification lab.
Items seized during the search included:
High end printers and laminators including those capable of forging security features in governmental identification;
Thousands of blank identification cards;
Numerous electronic devices and computers;
Stolen mail and documents belonging to third parties.
"Anyone who has ever been the victim of identity theft knows how awful and violating it can be to figuratively have you stolen. There are many levels to identity theft starting with mail containing personal information being stolen to fake identities being made and sold to other people. It is an intricate and complicated web often with links to organized crime," says Inspector Michael Cohee, Officer-in-charge of Investigative Services. "Identity theft is a type of fraud. According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre over $383 million was lost to fraud in 2021 alone. This is a staggering amount of money. As police, we see the faces of the victims and the devastating impact it can have on them. From education to enforcement, like this investigation, we are doing everything we can to protect our community."
A man was arrested and released on conditions, pending further investigation.
Richmond RCMP ECU and Drug Target Team have conduct of this investigation.
The Economic Crime Unit and Drug Target Team are part of the larger Richmond RCMP Organized Crime Unit, which is comprised of ECU, Drugs, Organized Crime Project Team and Criminal Intelligence.
This investigation remains active and ongoing.
Anyone who may have information regarding this investigation is asked to call Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote 2022-33913. Should you wish to remain anonymous, please contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or visit them online at www.solvecrime.ca.

The World of Squash High Performance Squash Camps have attracted players from all the corners of South Africa and as well as International players from Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia and as far as the USA. Focusing on training and playing on an elite level, invited coaches add expertise to the World of Squash line-up. These annual events are fully supported by the Tuks hpc and their service providers in the Sport Psych, Nutrition, Physiotherapy and Bio-kinetics fields.
Each camp's daily programme facilitates a specific ability group and players as young as 7 (mini-SQUASHERS) are hosted for various lengths of time. Camps are scheduled throughout the year according to the squash season, standard of play and age of the participants.
International players attending a World of Squash Camp are accommodated in guest houses or the hpc lockers and their programmes are designed to meet their specific needs. The length of stay varies from player to player and players return to competitive play or their homelands to continue training, armed with a follow-up programme which includes all aspects of training such as strength & conditioning as well as on court routines.
To maintain high levels of intensity throughout every session, a number of centres are used so that players are limited to 2 – 3 per court. All the World of Squash coaches, as well as the in-training coaches (Univ of Pretoria B Sport Sci students), are active during the camps – which means that players get individual attention within the group.
Keeping the quality and standard to the highest level includes using the latest technology available. World of Squash coaches have ball machines, Footworkers, XCLR8 equipment, Dartfish Video Analysis and the Visual Coaching Programme at their disposal.
The following Camps are held on an annual basis:
High Performance Squash Camp – December/January
Easter Holiday Camp/Clinic – April
Pre IPT Camp/Clinic – June
Kick Start New Season – August
Summer Holiday Camp/Clinic – September and December
Camps are also tailored to individual needs and requests throughout the year.
"The highlight tour of my schools career" is how Thoboki Mohohlo SA U19 No 1 (2008) and World Junior player described the World of Squash Australia tour.
2018 sees the start of a new venture for the WOS tours as we head over to Hong Kong and Malaysia, for training with some of the best coaches in Asia. This is not new territory, as Head Coach Liz Mackenzie has accompanied SA Schools tours (as the nominated Coach/ Manager) on 8 occassions and has built up a strong relationship with Aaron Soyza – who is based at the Nicol David International Squash Centre. The tour group will be on court for 2 – 3 sessions a day, while also enjoying the sights of the resort town of Penang during their stay.
Departure date is set for 21 September 2018 with the return date of 7 October 2018. For more info please send an email to lizmsquash@gmail.com
This tour promises to be a regular on the World of Squash calendar.
TOURS WITHIN SOUTH AFRICA
World of Squash regularly organises tours to tournaments, training camps and visiting coaches for their players. Taking a group of athletes away for a weekend to participate in a tournament not only develops independence and camaraderie for the athlete, but also gives the World of Squash coaches a chance to interact and bond with their athletes. Parents play an important role in the relationship and their support on these tours is always appreciated and where necessary, included.
Regular World of Squash Tours have included the following:
St Andrews School Festival – Bloemfontein
Wynberg Stayers Festival – Cape Town

This has to be a particularly uncomfortable moment for Hillary Clinton. She was an architect of this Syrian dilemma by omission and commission. Her team has been hoping we would ignore that. The statement that was released on her behalf was nuanced for deniability. Like her vote on Iraq, spineless.
"Secretary Clinton supports the president's effort to enlist the Congress in pursuing a strong and targeted response to the Assad regime's horrific use of chemical weapons."
There is no escape for this pretender this time. And it really doesn't matter that the situation in the Middle East is the culmination of a decade or more of national arrogance that overlays a crumbling economic foundation. Ms. Clinton bought a permanent stake in this when she cast her vote at that very important moment supporting George Bush's war. When she had an opportunity to redeem herself and demonstrate her moxie as Secretary of State, she didn't.
There have been too many missteps to count regarding Syria alone. And throughout this period, her understudy, Susan Rice, now the National Security Advisor, was completely ineffective in her role as Ambassador to the United Nations. Every bit of this has Hillary's signature all over it. And this will weigh her down throughout her campaign for 2016.
The Russian reset is part and parcel of this situation; Hillary owns that. At a time when Clinton's State Department team was sending out feelers to Assad's opposition, inviting representatives to meet with our Ambassador to Syria, we were handing Assad's benefactor a trump card. Unexpectedly, as the opposition transitioned to the use of organized violence, something happened to change Hillary's opinion of Assad and to cast him as a reformer. No wonder the Russians and their client read the tea leaves the way they did. Meanwhile, Senator McCain was allowed or maybe even encouraged to traipse around the region as though he had any ability to discern the situation on the ground. But that fit with Hillary's penchant for wanting to have it both ways. The United States could be seen supporting both sides.

The Rock Band is a popular game with fun features like using a microphone. But the challenging part is knowing how to use the microphone on Rock band especially for newbies.

The rock band is a series of games that is available on different platforms like the Microsoft game console, Sony, and Nintendo. Most of this platform including systems running on Windows XP or later recognize the USB microphone just like any other USB. This is because the microphones use a regular USB interface and it is identical to both desktop and laptop systems.
I will break the whole process of how to use a Rock Band microphone into step by step so it's easier to follow. Here are the steps:
To get the Rock Band microphone connected, first, insert the microphone USB which is at the end of the cable into your system or console. Once you have inserted the USB, wait for the hardware to be found by your system.

Plugin the microphone into any free port (USB) then turn on the Xbox 360 controller, the controller is used to navigate around the menus, and to also activate the start power.

Estonia: National Defence Committee engaged interest groups in the discussion of National Defence Act
11 Feb, 2020 by Helena-Reet Ennet
NordenBladet — At its sittings yesterday and today, the National Defence Committee of the Riigikogu (Parliament of Estonia) discussed the National Defence Bill with the stakeholders and relevant agencies. The Bill aims to establish a uniform and comprehensive framework for preparation for and resolution of crisis situations.
Chairman of the National Defence Committee Andres Metsoja pointed out that the Bill was very extensive, covering practically the whole society, and therefore the Committee decided to engage as many interest groups as possible in the proceedings on the Bill.
"In two days, we have heard the positions of different agencies and organisations, and I can assure you that the discussion has been very constructive and we have reached consensus on proceeding with the Bill," Metsoja said.
Deputy Chairman of the Committee Kalle Laanet explained that the National Defence Bill would establish the legal framework that ensured the security of the state and constitutional order during a crisis or in defence situations. "Today we discussed mainly how leadership should be built up in crisis or defence situations, so that vital services would not be interrupted," Laanet said. "The obligations proceeding from law do not apply only to the Defence Forces, but extend to all state authorities. All agencies have clear roles, and this requires sound management."
The National Defence Committee proposed the Ministry of Defence to prepare a model for resolving of defence situations.
According to the Bill, Estonia relies on comprehensive national defence under which representatives of both the national defence sector and the civil sector contribute to the national defence according to their competence to manage possible non-military and military security threats.
Pursuant to the Bill, in order to resolve a defence situation or to protect public order, the state may need to take into use or expropriate objects held by the civil sector or to impose one-off work obligations on persons and to involve them in law enforcement.
During the two days of discussions, the representatives of the Office of the President of the Republic, the Government Office, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of the Interior, the Defence Forces, the National Audit Office, Bank of Estonia, the Estonian Reserve Officers' Association, the Association of Estonian Cities and Municipalities, the Union of Electricity Industry of Estonia, the Estonian Security Association, the Estonian Water Works Association and the Estonian Defence Industry Association participated in the sittings of the National Defence Committee.
Motions to amend the National Defence Bill (112 SE) can be submitted until 26 February.

NIH Scholar Pickworth, '13, Hopes to Find Neurological Clues to Obesity
Psychological Science Home
"Research isn't a chore or a job; it's something I want to do," says Columbus, Ohio, native Katie Pickworth, '13, who was selected for Albion's student research partners program prior to arriving on campus and worked with psychology professor Andrew Christopher throughout her first year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that about one-third of American adults are obese. Albion College junior Katie Pickworth hopes to use funding from the National Institutes of Health Undergraduate Scholarship Program to determine if there are psychological and neurological triggers that can be linked to the condition.
"The research is not going to be easy, but I think there are things going on in people's brains that lead them to become overweight through excessive eating," Pickworth, a product of Columbus, Ohio, and the Columbus School for Girls, said. "People who have never been overweight don't understand it is beyond an overweight individual to control how much they are eating."
Pickworth, one of 13 recipients of the NIH award, receives a scholarship and internship. In January, she will be matched with a mentor with whom she will work for 10-week periods over the next two summers, and for every year she receives the $20,000 scholarship Pickworth is obligated to work for the NIH for a year.
She noted that her interest in obesity stems from a family history of struggling with weight.
"We're proof that genetics are involved [in obesity] and it is difficult to grow up in a family like that," Pickworth said. "While my parents were great in encouraging me to accept myself, I know there are consequences to being overweight.
"It seemed odd to me that the body of research is genetics-based for the causes, or it is a post-obesity thing saying being obese is bad because it will cause diabetes, heart issues," she added. "There is almost no research that is specifically investigating what is causing obesity beyond the genetics and general eating too much."
Pickworth, who is already targeting medical school and doctoral research programs for her future, admitted psychological research of obesity is a challenge because it is difficult to study an individual before they become overweight. Her start in the literature review was David Kessler's book The End of Overeating. Kessler, the former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, notes that foods high in fat, salt and sugar alter the brain's chemistry in ways that compel people to overeat.
An Impressive Background in Research
While she has not done obesity research at Albion, Pickworth's résumé includes five presentations and she is working with psychological science professor Andrea Francis on a paper reporting the results of a cognitive psycholinguistic study as well as beginning to work with biology professor Bradley Rabquer on an immunology project.
With a background that included attending high school research camps, Pickworth was selected for Albion's student research partners program before she arrived on campus. The program pairs a student with a faculty mentor to work on a project related to the faculty member's research or creative area, and she spent her first year at Albion working with psychological science professor Andrew Christopher in his research of the relationship between conscientiousness and risk taking.
"I have been interested in research since high school, so this is something I've been setting myself up for," Pickworth said. "The student research partners program was a large part of the reason I selected Albion. Having a paid research position is pretty remarkable and it doesn't happen anywhere else. Dr. Christopher was a great mentor to me and I came into my own through my research with him. Since then the projects I've been involved with have come about from me approaching the professor and asking if they need help.
"Research isn't a chore or a job; it's something I want to do," she added.

I always enjoy a trek hiking the bluffs of Mackinac Island looking out across the water of the straits where the Great Lakes of Huron, Michigan and Superior come together. It is always a relaxing experience hiking through this tranquil setting full of impressive natural scenery. Unfortunately, often times there is one major drawback that puts a damper on an otherwise fun time leaving you itchy and welted by the conclusion of your hike ... the forest full of mosquitoes. The island may not have bears, lions or snakes to fend off but the wet and shady habitat at this Michigan state park makes a perfect breeding ground for pesky mosquitoes looking to steal a bit of your blood. Ugh! if you are lucky you'll only be left itching for a few days and being unlucky could lead to a more serious problem like an infection of the West Nile Virus or a case of Encephalitis, among other illnesses. I've used a variety of bug deterrents when going on hikes in the woods with mixed results over the years.
For my most recent trip to Mackinac Island, I took along with me some samples I'd been sent from PARA'KITO MOSQUITO REPELLENT to try out knowing that it could really come in handy based upon my past treks. During my hike, I wore a wrist band and had a clip on my backpack that each contained a pellet filled with oils that interfere with mosquitoes sense of smell reducing the critters capacity to identify you. I was a bit hesitant that this simple sounding solution would work, but PARA'KITO passed the "smell test" as I made it through my hike relatively unscathed without a noticeable mosquito bite.
With people having renewed concerns about mosquito-born illnesses due to the recent Zika Virus outbreaks as well as a societal trend to avoid physical interactions with harsh chemicals, PARA'KITO uses all natural-based active ingredients to ensure that its products sufficiently protect people from mosquitoes without the use of chemicals that could potentially cause their own negative health side effects. PARA'KITO mosquito repellent is DEET, parabens and phthalates free. It's mosquito repellent pellets made from a mixture of Citronella, Rosemary, Geranium, Mint, Clove, Peppermint and Cinnamon oils provide consistent protection for up to 15 days. When they've worn out just pull the pellet out of your refillable band or clip and slip in a replacement. Refills can easily be ordered online and shipped to you.
Refillable bands made from neoprene can be worn on wrists or ankles are available in sizes for both kids and adults in a variety of shades and designs. Kids designs feature pandas, pirates, monkeys and sharks. Adult colors and designs range from standard black or blue to cosmic purple or camouflage among a variety of selections. Clips are easy to use too - place them on strollers, bikes, backpacks, belts or purses among other things to keep the mosquitoes away.
Also stop by the PARA'KITO Facebook page this summer for a chance to win their weekly contest on its Facebook page. Starting the week of June 20 through September 21, PARA'KITO will give away two wristbands (a $39 value!) to one lucky Facebook follower! Entering to win is easy! First 'LIKE' the PARA'KITO USA Facebook page. Then visit PARAKITO.com and share your favorite product from the collection in the COMMENTS section of the weekly Facebook post PINNED at the top of the Facebook page. Be sure to use #PKgiveaway in your response. Around 4pm ET each Thursday, they'll announce a weekly winner!


If the workplace is uncomfortable, one cannot concentrate on work. The first time we may feel difficult to hand but will mould to the way one feels appropriate. Change is necessary in everyone's life, especially at work. Workplace change is very important for success. Even change in an organization, or organization structure or change in responsibilities, there is no need to feel disappointed to handle the change, go ahead with an optimistic attitude. Here are few tips to deal with change in the workplace.
If you are demoted from the position, then understand where you lack behind, what dragged you to the position, how to build confidence to work, join motivational programs and allow yourself to prove once again. Give an opportunity to show up your abilities and performance to the company. So all one need to do is keep the fear aside and try to adjust with the circumstances, and go with a positive attitude and taste the new experience, environment and knowledge. It is all about adapting to the change, with all your abilities and skills.
Be flexible to the workplace, if you were asked to work in a shift which one is not comfortable, have a chat with HR, let them know your issues, if it is a compulsion, change your timetable and try to complete personal works in the week off or non-working hours. Learn time management and handle the change. Have proper training of new responsibilities from the education & training department of the organization. This will make your pressure down and will clarify your concerns. Focus on the upcoming goals and growth, then you will realize the necessity of change.
One might fail at his first attempt in his new responsibility, you may lose interest to work. Do not avoid the meetings or off sites with co-workers, have a face to face meeting with your manager. Be with a positive attitude, move on with go-getter attitude, even try to attempt the worst condition in the workplace. Do not run away, dedicate your time to focus on getting things solved, push yourself to put all your efforts to bring the workplace to the normal condition by which you can work comfortably.
One may not have experience in the field or with people when change is inculcated in the organization, so develop a plan for onboarding, go through this phase to remove the burden of fear. We may have many questions on how to handle the new challenge, so one must go through this training phase to adapt with the new life. Understand the benchmark from the previous employer who is being replaced. Collect the data from them, how did they go through this phase, how did they handle crucial situations, and how they won the hearts of everyone in the team. How did they meet the differences or gaps in the position.
Change is the first step of growth for everyone. Understand the productivity of the organization neglecting individual personal interests. One will be responsible for the organization promotion or growth, so it is essential to understand the objective while accepting the workplace change. Build your interpersonal skills to work along with the team. Identify the opportunities with a clear vision, overcome the pressure or problems.

Q: Why aren't my destructors called when throwing from a win32 timer callback? I just asked this question. In short, when you throw from a win32 timer callback, the exception doesn't appear to go anywhere. It seems to be surreptitiously handled by Windows somewhere.
OK well thats a problem. The OTHER side of the problem is that destructors don't seem to be getting called when this exception IS thrown. In the following code, for the std::vector of CFoo, the only time "~CFoo" is output is when the temporaries in GetFooVect are destructed and when the rValue is copied to fooVect. The contents of fooVect are NOT destructed.
This is my worst nightmare. I use RAII pretty heavily. I lean pretty heavily on my destructors to cleanup appropriately.
class CFoo
{
public:
    ~CFoo() {printf(__FUNCTION__ "\n");}
};

std::vector< CFoo > GetFooVect()
{
    std::vector< CFoo > rValue;
    rValue.push_back(CFoo());
    rValue.push_back(CFoo());
    rValue.push_back(CFoo());
    return rValue;
}

VOID CALLBACK Timer(HWND hwnd,
    UINT uMsg,
    UINT_PTR idEvent,
    DWORD dwTime)
{
    // My destructors aren't called?
    std::vector< CFoo> fooVect = GetFooVect();

    // I'm destroyed
    CFoo aFoo;

    throw FooExcept();
    printf("Also Here\n");
}

I've tried recreating this by simply throwing/catching C++ exceptions (ie removing the win32 timer callback variable) and the vector of CFoo's destructs just fine. For some reason, destructors are NOT being called here for things in vectors. What gives? Is there a logical explanation for this, or is it just weird, or both?

A: You should never, ever allow am exception to propagate across a C API boundary (like the SetTimer callback).  C code (and the Windows API functions) know nothing about C++ language exceptions.  You cannot rely on such code to propagate your exceptions.
Your callback should catch all C++ language exceptions before returning and handle the exceptions appropriately.  If you need to somehow communicate the exceptions to the rest of your application, you need to do so yourself.
(Someone else here may be able to explain in detail what is happening in this case, but the short answer is that you can't rely on C code to do the right thing in the presence of a C++ language exception, because it has no idea what a C++ language exception is.)

Cuomo: I Reached Out to Tesla to Help Fix the Subway System's Signal Problems
By Adam Kuperstein • Published January 4, 2019 • Updated on January 4, 2019 at 12:07 pm
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday he's reached out to Tesla to help modernize New York City's subway system
Cuomo said he asked Tesla for ideas on improving the signaling system so trains could run more efficiently
The governor said Tesla had some feasible ideas for ways to improve the system
If Elon Musk can figure out how to get from New York to Washington in under an hour, maybe he can figure out how to get from Queens to Manhattan in under an hour.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday he's reached out to Musk's company Tesla to see if it has any ideas about modernizing the subway's signal system, one of the MTA's major headaches as it tries to improve service.
"I don't believe a time where they're talking about flying cars and you can get into a car and drive 100 miles on the LIE and never touch the steering wheel, that there's not a better technology that can regulate the trains!" Cuomo said.
The Tesla aside came up during a conference call about Cuomo's new plan to avoid a shutdown of the L line for necessary repairs. The governor was asked if Tesla had consulted on the L, and he said no - but it could be helpful elsewhere.
"I called Tesla because it's outside the box… I said how can this be that we can't have technology that can monitor the proximity of subway cars all on the same track to move them faster together," he told reporters.
Tesla was asked to weigh in, he said, on the concept of Communications-based Train Control, or CBTC, which would be more efficient than a mechanical signal system and let trains run more frequently.
He acknowledged that the company is not a subway contractor per se - but added "I believe there is enough possibility it is worth testing."
Tesla spokespeople weren't immediately available to comment on the governor's remarks.
In July 2017, Musk thrilled New Yorkers when he said his tunnel-building company -- The Boring Company -- had preliminary approvals to build a New York-to-DC Hyperloop system that could make the trip in 29 minutes. Passengers traveling via Hyperloop would board magnetically levitating pods moved by electric propulsion.

Go to 2:44 of this video to see a long TD run by former Mallard Creek QB Marquise Williams, now a freshman at North Carolina.
The run is from UNC's spring game.
Probably was an agent in the endzone offering up some free goods. Other than that,he's falling down for sure.
You people just can't get enough of it, huh? You and the alphabet crew need to get a life. Go Heels!!!
pretty nice run, i love how the defense quits on the play before hes crossed the line of scrimmage.
You think maybe the players have been told not to take out the QB in a meaningless intrasquad scrimmage? Maybe?
We're still waiting on the sanctions. Butch Davis is either a lying scumbag or he's the dumbest head coach in the NCAA.
I vote both! He is a lying scumbag. That was evident before he coached a practice at UNC. Dumbest in the NCAA? Probably not, but with the amount of PAID talent he has amassed...he should be beating the "tar" out of people.
Nice touchdown run? The defense stopped! They didn't mention the next clip where he threw and interception.
I was at the game and it would not have been a TD if QB's were allowed to be hit. DB's had him for a big hit and stopped. They didn't even run after him. It sounds good on paper but definitely would not have been a TD.
If MooU had ANYTHING at all going for itself, they wouldn't be so preoccupied with UNC and every article UNC related. Be happy that you guys have fishing. Some schools don't even have that.

Insects Are In 'Catastrophic' Decline Worldwide, Scientists Warn
More than 40 percent of insects are at risk of extinction within 100 years.

Insect populations are collapsing worldwide and may vanish within a century, according to new research.
More than 40 percent of insects are at risk of extinction within the 21st century as a result of human pressures such as habitat loss, invasive species, pesticide pollution, and climate change, says the analysis published in Biological Conservation.
"Unless we change our ways of producing food, insects as a whole will go down the path of extinction in a few decades," warned Francisco Sánchez-Bayo, an entomologist at the University of Sydney, and Kris Wyckhuys, an insect ecologist at the China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, who authored the new study. "The repercussions this will have for the planet's ecosystems are catastrophic to say the least."
As key species in global food webs, insects play a major role in natural ecosystems and agriculture, both of which humans rely on for food and survival. Without pollinators such as bees, ants, and butterflies, major cash crops will not be able to grow.
Insects are also crucial to the diets of many birds, fish, and mammals that humans eat. Losing them could reduce the world's food supply, and cause other ecological ripple effects.
Scientists have been raising red flags about the downward spiral of insect populations for decades. Sánchez-Bayo and Wyckhuys synthesized information from 73 of these previous reports about insect declines to estimate the rate at which insects are disappearing as a whole.
The team found that the world's total insect biomass is decreasing at a rate of 2.5 percent per year—eight times the pace of decline for mammal, bird, and reptile populations. This trend suggests bugs could be virtually wiped out in 100 years, which should be "alarming," the team said.
"We wanted to really wake people up," Sánchez-Bayo told the Guardian. "It is a big concern."
Insect populations started declining in the 20th century, and have been rapidly falling since the 1950s. The families suffering the biggest drops on land are Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), Hymenoptera (including bees and ants), and Coleoptera (dung beetles). Aquatic species such as stoneflies, mayflies, and dragonflies are also experiencing serious losses.
The study lays the bulk of the blame on industrial agriculture, which has caused widespread habitat loss and has saturated wild and farmed environments with insect-killing pesticides.
"The main cause of the decline is agricultural intensification," Sánchez-Bayo said. "That means the elimination of all trees and shrubs that normally surround the fields, so there are plain, bare fields that are treated with synthetic fertilisers and pesticides."

Invasive species and disease are also factors, as is climate change. Warming temperatures have caused devastating insect collapses in Puerto Rico, for instance, which lost 98 percent of its ground rainforest bugs in just 35 years.
Insects have been on Earth for more than 400 million years, and are a core food source for countless animals and even some plants—not to mention their central role in crop reproduction.

Physiological Society names Musch educator of the year
Tim Musch
Timothy Musch, professor of kinesiology and anatomy and physiology, has been named 2013 Arthur C. Guyton Physiology Educator of the Year by the American Physiological Society.
The national honor recognizes Musch for making a significant impact on the students he teaches, on his institution, and an enduring and significant impact on physiology education on the national and international stage.
Musch, who holds a duel appointment with the College of Human Ecology and the College of Veterinary Medicine, teaches graduate and undergraduate exercise physiology and co-directs the Cardiorespiratory Exercise Laboratory. His fields of research include coronary heart disease and chronic heart failure.
His lab provides opportunities for faculty and students to study the physiology of physical activity in health and disease through a variety of animal models. Research projects undertaken by the lab emphasize pulmonary gas exchange and the relationship between skeletal muscle structure and oxygen delivery at the microcirculatory levels.
"More than half of students who graduate with a kinesiology major are admitted each year to physical therapy, medical and other health professional and graduate schools. While much of the success of these students can be attributed to Dr. Musch's lectures in their required course work, his influence also extends to the development of an undergraduate exercise physiology curriculum that is unmatched nationally and an active lab that has successfully involved numerous undergraduates in research experiences," said David Dzewaltowski, professor and head of the department of kinesiology.
Musch is a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine from which he received the Citation Award this year. He chairs the national environmental and exercise physiology section of the American Physiological Society and is on the journal's editorial board. He is also on the editorial board of the Journal of Applied Physiology.
The professor has graduate and undergraduate degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, and a doctorate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He did a postdoctoral fellowship in cardiovascular physiology at the University of Texas Health Science Center, Dallas.
He will receive the award at the society's annual meeting on April 23.

Michelle Obama hails the 'persistence and perseverance' of Dr Martin Luther King Jr
Michelle Obama has led US celebrities in hailing the "persistence and perseverance" of Dr Martin Luther King Jr and "the magnitude of his legacy".
Monday marked Martin Luther King Jr Day – a public holiday within the US to endure in solutions the field smartly-known activist and his "fight for justice".
Dr King, who modified into truly apt one of essentially the most infamous leaders within the civil rights walk from 1955 onwards, modified into assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1968.
He modified into successfully-known for his "I in fact hang a dream" speech, and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
Obama praised Dr King's work, encouraging others to make a decision in neighborhood efforts to honour his legacy.

Oscar-successful actresses Jennifer Hudson and Halle Berry, and Will and Jaden Smith hang been additionally amongst those to submit on-line tributes to the minister.
Sharing a listing of herself on the region of 2021 Aretha Franklin biopic Respect, Hudson talked about: "By methodology of a colossal like Martin Luther King Jr., words by no methodology appear ample to salvage the magnitude of his legacy.
"A pair years ago, whereas filming Respect, I purchased to sit down down on the steps of Dr. King's birth home. I sat there soaking within the importance of that region, and I imagined him sitting on these very steps as a baby, ignorant of the impression he would hang.
"As we honor him this day, let's proceed his dream, raising up more Dr. Kings that develop this world a bigger region to stay."
Berry wrote: "This day we honour the work of Reverend Dr Martin Luther King Jr and all of us who labored in opposition to a bigger future for ALL of us.
