Q: Sending an initial akka message In below akka structure my Parent actor sends StartMessage to Parent actor which then sends ChildMessage to Child actor. On receiving ChildMessage a sys process to run an sh file is invoked : "/Users/setup.sh" !! In order to ensure the DoM message is sent after StartMessage I insert a Thread.sleep :
parentActor ! StartMessage

Thread.sleep(5000)

parentActor ! DoM

StartMessage is required to be sent initially as setup.sh executes initialization which the other actors rely upon. Is there an alternative mechanism which prevents from messages being send until an initial message is sent ?
All code :
import akka.actor.{Actor, ActorRef, ActorSystem, Props, _}
import akka.stream.ActorMaterializer

import scala.sys.process._

case object ChildMessage
case object ReplyMessage
case object StartMessage
case object StopMessage
case object DoM

class Parent(child: ActorRef) extends Actor {
  var count = 0
  def incrementAndPrint { count += 1; println("incrementing and printing") }
  def receive = {
    case StartMessage =>
      println("Received StartMessage in child")
      incrementAndPrint
      child ! ChildMessage
    case ReplyMessage =>
    case DoM =>
      println("DoM")
    case _ => println("Parent got something unexpected.")
  }
}

class Child extends Actor {
  def receive = {
    case ChildMessage =>
      println("Received Child Message")
      "/Users/setup.sh" !!

      sender ! ReplyMessage
    case StopMessage =>
      println("Received Stop Message")
      context.stop(self)
    case _ => println("Child got something unexpected.")
  }
}

object Question {

  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val system = ActorSystem("sys")
    implicit val materializer = ActorMaterializer.create(system)

    val childActor = system.actorOf(Props[Child], name = "RunServerC")
    val parentActor = system.actorOf(Props(new Parent(childActor)), name = "RunServerP")

    parentActor ! StartMessage

    Thread.sleep(5000)

    parentActor ! DoM

  }

}

A: You can change the behaviour of your actor by calling context.become. Also, you can define two new objects to use when an unexpected message is received:
object Parent {
  case object NotYetInitialised
  case object AlreadyInitialised
}

class Parent(child: ActorRef) extends Actor {
  def receive = {
    case StartMessage =>
      println("Received StartMessage")
      child ! ChildMessage
      context.become(initialised)
    case _ =>
      println("Parent got something unexpected.")
      sender ! Parent.NotYetInitialised
  }

  def initialised: Receive = {
    case ReplyMessage =>
    case DoM => println("DoM")
    case ResetMessage => context.become(receive) // I made it up
    case StartMessage => sender ! Parent.AlreadyInitialised
    case _   => println("Parent got something unexpected.")
  }
}

A: You can try Akka ask method to send messages to another actor but one thing you have to keep in mind is that the receiver actor must respond to the sender actor. So, in your case, you can either use ask as a sync call or an async call.
Ask Sync
Await.result(parentActor ? StartMessage, 10 seconds)

Ask Async
import akka.pattern.ask
import scala.util.{Failure, Success}
import akka.util.Timeout

implicit val timeout = Timeout(10 seconds)
(parentActor ? StartMessage).onComplete{
    case Success(value) =>
    case Failure(exception) =>

}(context.dispatcher)

And once you finished your work in the child actor reply to the parent actor by sending some message like sender() ! "Work is done"


Earlier this month we gave you a heads up into the exciting new LIVESTRONG 'Stages' art exhibition featuring over 20 renowned artists. It finally opened yesterday to a packed audience who were lucky to witness some incredibly impressive artwork from Shepard Fairey, Kaws, Dzine and beyond. Thanks to our good friends at Nike, we were given an exclusive look into some of the pieces that strewn the walls at the Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris. If you happen to be in the area, the exhibition is open until the 8th of August before heading to the United States. All work is available for purchase with proceeds directly benefiting the Lance Armstrong Foundation. For more info, hit up the LIVESTRONG blog.

Format announced for NASCAR Trucks at Eldora
By Chris EstradaApr 9, 2013, 3:30 PM EDT
The first NASCAR national series race on dirt in more than 40 years — the Camping World Truck Series' "Midsummer Classic" at Eldora Speedway on July 24 — will feature a special qualifying and race format.
Let's start with the matter of creating the field for the event. A traditional two-lap qualifying session will set the grid for five qualifying races that will run for eight laps each (only green flag laps will count). From each of these heats, five trucks will advance into the feature.
Four more positions in the 30-truck field will then be up for grabs in a 15-lap "last chance" qualifier (again, only green flag laps will count), and the final position, No. 30, will be given to the most recent past CWTS champion that had not already qualified (or, if there isn't one, the next highest-finishing driver in the "last chance" race).
This all leads to the 150-lap main event, which will be split into three segments of 60, 50, and 40 laps each. Pit stops will take place between each of the segments.
"NASCAR and Eldora Speedway have collectively worked together to come up with a format that embraces the history of dirt track racing while also ensuring that full-time competitors have an opportunity to be a part of this special event," said NASCAR Camping World Truck Series director Chad Little in a statement.
"This will also add an exciting element for the fans and we look forward to putting on a great show at this unique venue."


Abstract: Online product reviews has become an important source of information for consumers to make purchase decisions, especially in emerging market due to the limited available information on the market. This study aims to gain insight the effect of product type, involvement, and sponsorship and their interaction on consumers' attitude towards and trust on product reviews, as well as their purchase intention on the reviewed products. This study implements a 2 x 2 x 2 experimental design and gathers 181 valid samples. The key findings show that product type has significant positive influence on consumer responses, and the effect is moderated by involvement. Surprisingly, sponsorship does not influence consumers' responses to online reviews. This study extends the existing knowledge to an emerging market and provides interesting insights. The managerial and theoretical implications are discussed.

Serve the community and keep the public safe with one of the many careers in the field of Corrections.
A degree in criminal justice opens doors in a wide variety of fields. Explore programs that are best suited for your chosen career.
Prepare for the correctional officer exam and review helpful tips about the application process.
It's an unfortunate fact - the prison population in the United States is the largest in the world - by a wide margin. In 2011, the total correctional population in the U.S. ballooned to over 2.2 million incarcerated adults and 4.8 million adults on probation or parole. These staggering figures equate to 1-in-34 U.S. citizens, or approximately seven million adults under some form of correctional supervision. United States prisons alone, account for over 25% of the world's prison population.
Correctional Officers, who are the center piece of the correctional system, are responsible for protecting the public by ensuring that federal inmates serve their sentences, that correctional facilities are secure, and that inmates are able to successfully re-enter the community upon release. With the number of people under supervision- either as inmates or parolees- expected to remain near record levels across the country, the impact of correctional officers on the criminal justice system is immeasurably large.
Finding a high quality degree program has become an essential first step in every officer's career, with correctional departments and law enforcement agencies emphasizing education and training. Programs catering to aspiring correctional officers combine principles of the criminal justice system, sociology, psychology and the legal system with practical training in techniques for crime detection and the handling of inmates. With potentially hundreds of programs available nationwide, we aim to help students find top programs by offering in-depth school rankings for important criteria, such as popularity, affordability and return on investment. See rankings.
Police officers are central figures within the law enforcement system, with responsibilities that routinely involve responding to emergency calls, monitoring criminal activity, investigating crimes, making arrests and taking part in community educational programs. Their jobs can be extremely challenging, yet incredibly rewarding.
In most instances, a police officer is required to have a minimum of an associate's degree in Criminal Justice, but many choose to earn a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice or Criminology. As of 2013, police officers earned an estimated mean salary of $58,720, with the top 10% earning a mean salary of $90,700.
Probation officers, also known as correctional treatment specialists, are responsible for monitoring the conduct of non-incarcerated criminal offenders. The goal is to prevent the prior offender from committing new crimes by providing them resources such as rehabilitation programs and job training. Most employers require a bachelor's degree in criminal justice, social work, behavioral science, or a related field. Some employers require a master's degree. As of 2012, the average annual salary for a probation officer was $48,190. The top 10% earned more than $83,410.
A crime scene investigator, also referred to as a forensic science technician, is a law enforcement officer who is specially trained to analyze and document evidence at the scene of a crime. The educational requirements are set by the law enforcement department hiring the investigator. Some agencies will accept a two year degree; however, most require a bachelor's or master's degree. The degree should have an emphasis on scientific subjects and criminal justice. The estimated annual wage for a crime scene technician was $52,840 in May of 2012. The top 10% in field earned over $85,210.
Game wardens, also known as fish and game wardens, patrol assigned areas to enforce the fish and game laws. They also investigate reports of damage to crops caused by wildlife. They compile biological data and submit reports which ultimately are used to set wildlife population management goals. The educational requirements are set by the governmental unit hiring the game warden, but preference is given to candidates who have prior law enforcement experience, military experience, or an associate's or bachelor's degree in criminal justice. In 2013, the estimated average salary was $50,470. The top 10% of game wardens earned more than $71,510.00.
A state trooper is a police officer employed at the state level. State troopers protect the lives and property of the citizens of their state. Most states require a minimum of a bachelor's degree in a field such as criminal justice, previous law enforcement experience, or military experience. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2013 police officers earned an estimated mean salary of $58,720. The top 10% earned more than $90,700. State police officers typically make slightly higher wages than their locally employed counterparts.
A forensic scientist performs comprehensive chemical and physical analyses on crime scene evidence. They are also responsible for providing courtroom testimony. At a minimum, a bachelor's degree is required for employment in this field. Advancement will require a master's or PhD. In addition, most forensic scientist complete specialized training programs such as the one provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigations. Forensic scientists are classified by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics as forensic science technicians. The estimated annual wage for a crime scene technician was $52,840 in May of 2012. The top 10% in field earned over $85,210.
A criminologist studies and analyzes human behavior for the purpose of developing policies and procedures which reduce crime. Criminologists also study the effectiveness of the criminal justice system. Criminologists are employed by the government and the private sector. The educational requirements to be hired vary widely, however a majority of employers require either a bachelor's degree or a master's degree in criminology, psychology or sociology. The Bureau of Labor Statics includes criminologist in the category of sociologist. In May 2012, the estimated annual wage for sociologists was $74,960. The top 10 percent in the field earned more than $129,760.
Security officers patrol and protect public and private property against theft, vandalism, terrorism, and illegal activity. The majority of security officers are employed privately, and acre considered an agent of the employer. A degree in criminal justice is always a plus to ensure the security guard has a solid knowledge of law enforcement protocols and to avoid potential lawsuits against the employer. In 2012, the estimated annual wage for security guards was $24,020. The top 10 percent in the field earned more than $42,560.
A loss prevention manager, also known as a loss prevention agent, works to protect a company's assets against theft or other loss. In a corporate setting, a manager may be in charge of detecting and reducing employee theft. In a retail setting, the agent may be in charge of programs to reduce or diminish losses or theft such as shoplifting. The minimum educational requirements needed to be employed as a loss prevention manager vary depending upon the employer. A degree in criminal justice is often viewed as a bonus by employers because of the broad training received in areas such as crime detection and criminal behavior. The Bureau of Labor Statistics includes loss prevention managers in the category of private detectives. In 2012, the estimated annual wage for private detectives and investigators was $45,740. The top 10 percent in the field earned more than $79,790.

A good friend and colleague once told me nothing motivates you to find a job like not having one. But more than one manager has told me it's easier to find a job while you still have one. I know I interview better when I have a job. It's just human nature to perform better when you have less pressure.
Take my last transition for an example. I had a job. The pay was decent. I was unhappy, but not unhappy enough to take just anything. I came across as a buy-high candidate, not a reclamation project.
If you show promise, people will take a flyer on you as a reclamation project, but it's better to be able to negotiate from a position of strength. You're less likely to have to settle for a lowball salary.
But if you don't have a choice, there are several things to do.
Yes, I went there. Unemployment isn't a system you pay into, but it's there to help you and you shouldn't let any stigma keep you from being willing to use it. Your state doesn't want you unemployed either, so they'll help you in your search, and provide some coaching if you need it.
Contrary to what some politicians say, it's not a handout. You have to prove you're actively looking for work to collect it, and that tracking process actually helps you find the job anyway. If the option is available to you, use it.
Finding a job is your full time job when you don't have one. Search online. Search Linkedin, Craigslist, and anywhere else there may be a job posting. Talk to recruiters if possible.
Run your resume by some people, if possible, before you start applying. Make sure it paints a picture of someone your previous employers would all want back, if they could afford you.
Make sure you have no fewer than 10 job applications going at any given time. Track them all with a spreadsheet. Apply, then follow up. Track phone calls and relevant names. Write down the dates of all phone calls and interviews. If they don't call you, call them.
In 2012, when I was in between jobs, I took some short security classes and studied for the PMP certification. Although I didn't end up sitting for the test, studying PMP helped me in subsequent roles. I'm constantly working with project managers, and it helps that I understand what they do and what they need. Early in my career, working with project managers drove me nuts, but now that I understand what they need, I enjoy it.
Ask if this will affect your unemployment eligibility, but if it won't, do some side work to keep some money flowing. Or if you can make more doing side work than you would from unemployment, do side work instead. A little money is better than none.

Many of us will be very cautious about the words we use in front of our children, while some may let out a curse word from time to time. No matter what category we fall into, hearing our child curse is definitely not a pleasant experience! Well, whether u find what they had just said amusing or appalling, the last think you will want is for your little kiddo to say F*ck, or any other curse words you can think off! I'm pretty sure that most of us agree that swearing is a horrible and offensive habit that we will never want our children to develop! Here are some tips for you, if you catch your little one curse!
If you make a scene when your child says a curse word, there's a high chance that this will reinforce the behaviour. Why? Because, by doing so, he/she has caught your attention. This might happen again when he craves for your attention the next time, or when he decides that it is a good word to use when he wants to get under your skin.
Even if you find it interesting or funny, this can also increase the chance of your child repeating it again. Your little kiddo will see that he made you laugh, and might use the same word again when he wants to be funny.
3. Avoid confronting your child about swearing when you are angry or upset.
Work through the problem at hand, and discuss the bad language when both you and your child is calmer. Watch your language a little more closely too. Children often pick up these dirty words at home, and if you use them frequently, they are more likely to think that it is acceptable for them to say these words themselves.
There are many words in the English dictionary that are not as offensive as those curse words he/she just said. Also, try encouraging your little one to make up his own silly expressions to use instead of those curse words!

Intel H55 Mobo Shootout - Integrated HD Graphics Showdown
25 Jan 2010 / By Vincent Chang
Partnering the New Clarkdale ASRock H55M Pro ASUS P7H55-M PRO Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H Intel DH55TC MSI H55M-ED55 BIOS Settings & Test Setup Results - SYSmark 2007 Preview Results - Futuremark PCMark Vantage Results - SPECviewperf 9.0 Gaming Benchmarks HD Playback Performance & Power Consumption Conclusion
Despite the mainstream nature of the H55 chipset, manufacturers have gone to some extent of bolstering their offerings with a host of extra features, both hardware and software. One would think that the cost would increase dramatically with that but with Intel's own plain as vanilla reference design in the same price bracket, it would appear that costs have been manageable, or perhaps the Intel name comes with a premium price.
One would also think that dual-GPU configurations were the norm in the retail sector from the three brands that came with two PCIe 2.0 x16 slots. We believe that's not the case but like some of the other additional features found on these boards, notably MSI's OC Genie, it's about having more than your competitors, even if it escalates into some form of race.
It could be that all these features are due to the fact that generally, the performance of these boards are similar. Sure, they may differ slightly from benchmark to benchmark, but there was no clear winner in our benchmarks. Having the integrated graphics core with the processor means vendors have even less control over that aspect. What's left then is about the layout/design and cost, along with the proprietary technologies and software as the distinguishing factors. Here then is our breakdown of how the five motherboards fared on a 10-scale rating:
Scoring Breakdown
Street Price (US$)
ASRock H55M Pro
8.0 8.5 9.0 95
8.0 8.0 7.5 110
Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H
Intel DH55TC
MSI H55M-ED55
The ASRock H55M Pro is what we have come to expect from the vendor, unpredictable and affordable. The appearance may not be as polished as other brands and the layout could be a bit better but it has a decent set of features and best of all, a price point below a psychologically important US$100 mark. In terms of value, the Gigabyte with its better features and reasonable price probably equals the ASRock, but we felt that the ASRock deserves it, our Most Value for Money Award.
ASUS' entry, the P7H55-M PRO is a decent board, with all the polish and quality that one expects. It is however less than competitive in terms of features and price. While we have no issues with the board's feature set as it is, given its target audience, no doubt users would prefer a lower price point if possible.
When it comes to features, it's hard to say no to Gigabyte's H55M-UD2H, which seems to have all kinds of extras hardware-wise. From the presence of a DisplayPort to the rich variety of storage related options, it's remarkable that Gigabyte has managed to keep the price as competitive as it is. This is more so when one considers the cost of Ultra Durable 3, which entails having solid capacitors and extra copper in the PCB. Not to forget that it has decent utilities bundled to make it more user friendly for various needs. For its blend of features and price, we rate this board as the best of the bunch and the Winner of this roundup.
Intel has rarely competed well against other brands when it comes to retail motherboards and the plain DH55TC doesn't change anything. Its performance is fine, but the lack of frills along with a price that's more than matched by other rivals ensures that it won't be getting our vote.
Finally, the MSI H55M-ED55 is, make no mistake, a very good board. Arguably the best in terms of power efficiency from our results, with a long list of features and quality components, it is definitely a top H55 board. The proprietary technologies like OC Genie enhance its value but only if you have a use for them, which we'll argue is not that essential for the H55 target group. You have to pay for those features however and its US$130 price will deter users who are not looking for the extras. There are other more affordable variants from MSI if you're still interested though.

YET ANOTHER 1:48 SCALE AIRFIX KIT DUE IN 2017 will be that classic heavy metal machine that saw service after World War II, the Hawker Sea Fury.
SMN report: 2017 is going to be a bumper year for 1:48 scale fans, if the Airfix release roster is anything to go by. Interior detail, folding wings, and plenty of ordnance are likely features of the Hawker Sea Fury kit, presently under development.
Computer images (below) show that there will be plenty of detail, both inside and out. However, it'll be a while before one of these can grace the display table, as release is presently slotted for Q4 2017.
More CGI visuals released by Airfix (below) reveal a heavily armed machine, complete with folding wings. We're enthusiastic about this kit, and reckon it will be a winner. Our request would be for a section of carrier deck to be included in the box, as a first step in making a ready to use mini-diorama setting.
Kit builders will have plenty of options, including the red-nosed example (below). The aircraft is an ex-Iraqi Air Force machine that has been repainted in Royal Australian Navy colours. Details and photo, courtesy FlugKerl2.
The SMN crew will be going a different route, as we are keen on modding the kit to create an unlimited-series air racer, perhaps like the one shown (below). Love those flames, and the bubble canopy! Photograph courtesy RuthAS.
For a look at air racing at Reno, Nevada, have a look at the video (below) and wait for the 5m:50s mark for a real OMG moment as the planes howl past. Video courtesy Pylon Productions.

We created a strong a memorable logo with youth appeal so their clients would feel part of something bigger, a logo which also has enough credibility to put other stakeholders at ease. The genderless character is striding out with renewed confidence. A business feel is created with the use of grey, matched in vibrancy and energy with sharp orange for renewal and optimism. Striking new stationery and website bring all elements together to form a consistent and unified brand message.
A strong and memorable logo that has broad appeal and creates a more professional feel.


Discussing the details of your separation with your children is frowned upon by the courts, even with teenaged children. This does not mean that you cannot or should not tell your children that you are separating, but when you decide to have that conversation, it should be done in a neutral manner. It is very easy for parents to become caught up in a parenting dispute, and to either discuss ongoing issues with their children, or to discuss matters with other adults at home or on the phone within ear shot of the children. This often gets back to the other parent, making it more difficult to resolve disputes. The best approach for parents to take is not to speak about separation issues directly with the children or within their earshot. Our family lawyers can help you find appropriate resources available to help resolve parenting disputes, such as parenting mediators, child psychologists and social workers who specialize in children's issues arising from their parents' separation.
If you move out of the family home without your children, you may be prejudicing your rights to their custody or to an adequate residential schedule with them in the future. Conversely, you cannot move the children out of the family home without the other parent's consent or court order. In certain situations involving physical or emotional abuse, a parent may have good grounds to leave the family home with their children without agreement, but this needs to be handled carefully, and you should get advice from a family law lawyer as soon as possible.
Holidays can be a contentious time for separated parents. There is no preferred access schedule for separated parents to follow when it comes to holidays, and the schedule included in a parenting agreement largely depends on where the parents live, what their traditions are, and what is in the best interest of their children. If you don't have a clear agreement on how to share holidays with the children and your former spouse, you risk disappointment for such special times during the year. Our family law team can help you in negotiating and creating such agreements.
In Ontario, grandparents do not have a presumptive right of custody or access to their grandchildren. This means that if the parents separate, or one dies, or a grandparent becomes alienated from their grandchildren for other reasons, there is no automatic right that grandparents have to contact with their grandchildren. However, a grandparent may apply to the court for an order for custody or access to a child. When determining if a grandparent should be granted custody or access to their grandchildren, the court applies the same test it always uses when determining custody and access to a child. That is, whether the order will be in the best interests of the child. Grandparent rights are complicated and you should get the assistance of a family law lawyer to help guide you through the process.
There are a number of ways for parents to enforce custody and access orders in the event that the other party is not cooperating with a parenting schedule. A court order is expected to be obeyed, and failure to do so can result in serious consequences for the non-compliant parent. These consequences can include contempt proceedings, which can result in a financial penalty, and in rare cases, a term of imprisonment. Failure to abide by the terms of an order could also result in a review of the existing parenting provisions. Police enforcement of custody and access is available where a court order provides for police enforcement, or when there are reasonable and probable grounds to believe that a child is at immediate risk of harm or is being unlawfully withheld.
Circumstances change, especially when children are involved, but when a court issues a custody and access order, it is meant to be final unless it states otherwise. The order cannot be changed simply because one of the parents is not satisfied with the ruling, and seeking a change can be a complicated matter for which comprehensive legal advice should be obtained. The primary threshold to meet if you wish to change a custody or access order is proving that there has been a 'material change in circumstances' of the children which warrants a change. A material change has been interpreted to mean a significant change in the child's life since the last custody order was made or an agreement for custody was entered into by the parties, which was not foreseeable at that time. The change must have altered the child's needs or the ability of the parents to meet those needs in a fundamental way.

Virginia Game Fish Tagging Program sets new record
Record-setting cobia: Alison Temple and her spouse Jason Temple got a quick photo of the recaptured cobia before returning it to the water. They caught the 53-inch-long fish near the York Spit in the York River on May 27, 2019. Photo by Stacy Reaves
by VIMS staff | June 24, 2019
When most people catch a fish that is too small to keep, they let it go and never know its subsequent fate. But Sheldon Arey, a volunteer with the Virginia Game Fish Tagging Program, now knows exactly what happened to the 26-inch-long cobia that he caught and tagged on June 25, 2009 at Latimer Shoal near Kiptopeke State Park.
That's because the same cobia was recaptured at the York Spit on May 27, 2019 by Alison Temple. In the 3,623 days since Arey first tagged it—a span of 9 years, 11 months, and 3 days—the fish had more than doubled in size to 53 inches total length. The recapture sets a new "days at large" record for the tagging program, beating the former record from a tautog that had been at large for 3,411 days. Fisheries scientists define "days at large" as the number of days between the first time a fish is tagged and released and its most recent recapture.
Susanna Musick, marine recreation specialist at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and VGFTP co-coordinator, says "We're really lucky to have dedicated volunteers like Sheldon and thoughtful anglers like Alison who collect and report data for our recreationally important finfish species. Long-term recaptures like Sheldon's cobia are important sources of data that can reflect overall patterns of migration and site fidelity."
Cobia are a favorite of anglers in the Chesapeake Bay and elsewhere, known as an excellent eating fish and an energetic fighter on the line. They can attain a weight exceeding 100 pounds. Data from the VGFTP and other tagging programs show that cobia visit the lower Chesapeake Bay during the summer and migrate into offshore waters in the fall, some traveling as far south as the Florida Keys. Of the cobia tagged in Virginia, 86% are recaptured in state waters.
For anglers targeting cobia in Virginia this summer, Musick notes that the record-breaking tagged fish was released. "So that means it's still out there," she says, "waiting to be caught again and beat its own record!"
VGFTP
Established in 1995, the Virginia Game Fish Tagging Program uses a trained cadre of 200 volunteer anglers to gather data on year-to-year abundance, habitat use, and seasonal migration patterns for selected species of recreationally popular marine fishes.
Through 2018, the program's database included 320,617 tag records and approximately 33,693 recapture records, with fishing efforts documented at more than 900 locations in Virginia waters.
A cooperative effort between the Marine Advisory Program at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and the Virginia Marine Resources Commission's Saltwater Tournament, the program's funding is from state saltwater license funds and VIMS.

Worsening land inequality widens gender, climate change gaps

Regulatory and legal reforms needed to check land concentration which threatens sustainable development
By Rina Chandran
BANGKOK, Nov 24 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Land inequality is growing worldwide, threatening the livelihoods of 2.5 billion people who directly rely on farming and widening disparities in gender, health and climate-change impacts, researchers warned on Tuesday.
The widening gap in ownership and access to land especially hurts small and marginal farmers, women, and indigenous and rural communities, according to a report by the International Land Coalition (ILC) and anti-poverty charity Oxfam.
While rural and indigenous communities are being squeezed into smaller parcels of land or uprooted entirely, land is increasingly concentrated in fewer hands, mainly those of large agriculture businesses and investors, the research showed.
"As corporate and financial investments grow, ownership and control of land becomes more concentrated and increasingly opaque," said Ward Anseeuw, an analyst with ILC and a co-author of the report.
"Land inequality reduces opportunities for younger rural generations, especially girls, to improve their lives. In the longer term, it is detrimental to human development, socio-political stability, and environmental sustainability."
The study, which measured land inequality using traditional census data, as well as tenure, quality of land and other indicators in 17 countries, found that concentration of land has increased in nearly all regions worldwide since 1980.
The largest 1% of farms operate more than 70% of the world's farmland, according to the study of countries including India, China, Ecuador, Guatemala, Brazil, Mexico, Ethiopia and Tanzania.
Meanwhile, the wealthiest 10% of rural populations control 60% of the value of agricultural land, while the poorest half only have 3%. Latin America is the most unequal region, according to the data that did not include corporate ownership.
"Growing inequality is the greatest obstacle to poverty eradication - in countries like Guatemala, extreme inequality costs lives," Ana Maria Mendez, Oxfam's Guatemala director, said in a statement.
"As we confront the coronavirus pandemic and catastrophic hurricanes fuelled by climate change, the impact of land inequality is even more stark," she added.
Increasing pressure on land from industry, agriculture and infrastructure projects has led to violent conflicts, with at least 212 people killed last year while defending their land, according to advocacy group Global Witness.
Rapid urbanisation and changes in agricultural practices such as increased commercial monocropping have also been linked to the spread of disease, including the novel coronavirus.
While agrarian reform movements and progressive regulation have helped reduce land inequality in some countries, improving transparency and accountability around land investments will not succeed without legal changes, Anseeuw said.
The lack of regulatory instruments to check land concentration will continue to drive inequality in the future, he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
"The biggest danger is that the expansion of corporate-controlled agriculture will render the local system unviable, displacing people from their land and livelihoods," he said.
"Addressing land inequality will not only redress asset and wealth inequality, but will also enable more inclusive and sustainable development," he added.

"The U.S. Chamber welcomes today's announcement from the United States and South Korea regarding KORUS, restoring certainty to one of our most important economic and national security relationships.
"Over the last six years, KORUS has formed a solid foundation that allows U.S. farmers, ranchers, and businesses to export their goods and services to the Korean market. During discussions between the two countries, the U.S. Chamber recognized the importance of these gains and also called for both sides to address ongoing implementation concerns that were holding back growth. We look forward to continuing to work with both governments to ensure that KORUS – including these new trade commitments – is fully implemented and enforced in a way that allows our economic partnership to get even stronger.

Q: Query cycles between suspended and runnable without ever completing I have an insert statement, extracting data through multiple inner joins from around 8 tables. It is getting into suspended state then runnable and vice versa forever; never coming back to running state.
Here is the estimated execution plan: https://www.brentozar.com/pastetheplan/?id=Sy6gPl-6L
While running the trace on this particular process, I see, it holds lock on tempdb and also on one user database but not running any statements on them. Simply its state is changing in between suspended & runnable. When I kill and re-run, it is getting executed normally. I see there are no processes or jobs conflicting with this insert statement.
The wait types are "io_completion" and "sos_scheduler_yield" while the query got stuck. I have used sys.syprocesses and sp_who2 active also dm_exec_requests to monitor. I have run trace while the process is running, once the process went into suspended state showing up "io_completion" to "sos_scheduler_yield" and vice versa.
I am not able to figure out why it is happening. Could you please put some light on it and advise any solutions.

A: Explanation of behavior
Some of the causes of the IO_COMPLETION wait type are:

*

*Writing intermediate sort buffers to disk (these are called 'Bobs')

*Reading and writing sort results from/to disk during a sort spill

There are two sorts that could be spilling, which uses tempdb.
A source of the slowness could also be one the unfortunate "many to many merge join" in the middle of the execution plan (which also uses tempdb, although it doesn't cause IO_COMPLETION waits):

The estimated plan shows ~2 GB of data coming out of that merge join - and that amount of data could be even higher if the estimates are off.
You mentioned the problem is intermittent, which could be because of tempdb contention (if other queries are running at the time).
Suggestions for improvement
Temp table rewrite
The best option I can think of would be to break the query up into smaller chunks.  For instance, you could just select the trans_header rows that meet your where clause into a #temp table.  Then use that temp table in the main query instead of trans_header.
This could improve estimates and let the optimizer produce a better plan - potentially avoiding any spills or other tempdb activity.
That, generally, looks like this.  Sorry if there are any slight typos, it's tough not having intellisense

Fix implicit conversions
Speaking of estimates, you have several implicit conversion warnings.  It's difficult to advise on how to deal with them, since we don't have table and index definitions, but you should review them to see if they can be avoided.  Especially the ones in the WHERE clause:

Join hint
One low-effort approach would be to try and avoid that specific merge join with a join hint.  This might cause performance to get worse, though, because it will force the order of the joins as written, which limits the optimizer can do quite a bit:
 inner HASH join [TOPHAT].[product] as p with (nolock)
  on p.term_id = a.term_id
  and p.prod_id = b.prod_id

Note that this wouldn't likely help with sort spills.

Shootings highlight critical gaps in stopping domestic terrorism
Posted 9:12 am, August 5, 2019, by CNN Wire, Updated at 10:19AM, August 5, 2019
The US has struggled to confront the rise of domestic terrorism threats, drawing concern from lawmakers and former officials that there is a lack of a cohesive strategy to deal with the problem and the limited resources available skew towards international efforts.
President Trump addresses the nation after mass shootings
The FBI has seen a significant rise in the number of white supremacist domestic terrorism cases in recent months, a senior bureau counterterrorism official told CNN recently. Congress and the executive branch, critics say, have been slow to react.
A US Department of Homeland Security-sponsored study this year found that there are "major gaps in national terrorism prevention efforts," stemming from limited investment and a lack of focus. Federal initiatives have also been stymied by a "sustained opposition" to some if its terrorism prevention efforts.
DHS funding for efforts aimed at countering violent extremism were also found to be significantly lower than other western democracies, according to the study.
The administration has also made changes to federal funding for grants meant to counter violent extremism and the staff in the Homeland Security office that administers them has been diminished.
On Sunday, US Attorney for the Western District of Texas John Bash said the Justice Department is treating the El Paso shooting that took the lives of at least 20 people over the weekend as a "domestic terrorist case" — placing an issue this administration, like those before it, has had to contend with at the forefront.
Despite the rise in domestic cases, there is no federal charge for "domestic terrorism." The US doesn't have a domestic terrorism law and no government agency designates domestic groups as being terrorist organizations. That means many cases the FBI calls domestic terror-related end up with a variety of charges for violations of laws related to guns or even other state charges.
For instance, in several past race- and religion-motivated mass shootings by extremists, like at a Charleston, South Carolina, church in 2015 and at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh last fall, the shooters have faced hate crime and murder charges.
"We prosecute domestic terrorists for their criminal acts, not for their beliefs or based on their associations," Brad Wiegmann, a deputy assistant attorney general with the Justice Department's national security division, testified at a US House hearing in May. "The FBI opens cases on suspected criminal violations, not ideologies."
In a statement Sunday night, the FBI said it "remains concerned that U.S.-based domestic violent extremists could become inspired by these and previous high-profile attacks to engage in similar acts of violence."
When mass shooters in the US are linked to known international terrorist groups, terrorism charges then come into play. Critics say those laws disproportionately apply to Muslim extremists.
"Killing random civilians to spread a political message is terrorism," former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein tweeted Sunday. "FBI classifies it as domestic terrorism, but "white terrorism" is more precise. Many of the killers are lone-wolf losers indoctrinated to hate through the internet, just like Islamic terrorists."
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan in June testified in a congressional hearing that "white supremacist extremist violence" a "huge issue" and called it an "an evolving and increasingly concerning threat."
Rep. Steve Scalise, a Louisiana Republican who was the victim of a mass shooting two years ago, also cited the internet, although he added a note about "mental health."
"These events should be classified as domestic terrorism, and I'm glad that in the case of El Paso, the FBI is treating it as such," he tweeted. "There is clearly a culture of death in America today. Violence is glorified and normalized on our screens every day. Instead of seeking professional help for mental health problems, men are being radicalized in online forums. This must stop."

Who is a domestic terrorist?
Domestic terror cases generally include suspects involved in violence related to anti-government views, racial or religious bias, environmental extremism and abortion-related views.
A resource guide released by DHS in April also warned that soft targets, like shopping centers, "may be vulnerable to attacks using simple tactics and readily available weapons."
But only Congress can change the laws surrounding domestic terrorism, and Wiegmann alluded to the difficulty of any such action.
The departments charged with the various aspects of domestic terrorism have had to contend with the rise of domestic threats and have faced questioning on their response to it.
""If there's interest in the Congress in pursuing a domestic terrorism statute, we're certainly open to having that discussion," Wiegmann told the House Homeland Security Committee in May, but "designating domestic groups as domestic terrorist organizations and picking out particular groups that you say you disagree with their views and so forth is going to be highly problematic."
In 2017, Daryl Johnson, a former senior analyst for domestic terrorism at DHS, wrote in The Washington Post about the backlash he received when he flagged warned of "the resurgence of right-wing extremist activity and associated violence" in the US in 2009.
"Unfortunately, the Department of Homeland Security caved to the political pressure: Work related to violent right-wing extremism was halted. Law enforcement training also stopped. My unit was disbanded. And, one-by-one, my team of analysts left for other employment," Johnson wrote. "By 2010, there were no intelligence analysts at DHS working domestic terrorism threats."
In the case of El Paso, authorities are investigating a racist, anti-immigrant screed that they believe was posted by a man who opened fire at a shopping center in the city on Saturday.
This administration has faced criticism over its handling of threats, and the funding put in place to combat them.
During a congressional hearing in May, acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan fielded questions on numerous grants that help state and local law enforcement with terrorism prevention, as some lawmakers shared concerns about the anti-terrorism component of the department.
Democratic Rep. Dina Titus of Nevada recalled the Las Vegas shooting and asked about cuts to grants aimed at helping urban areas to, among other things, prevent, protect against, and recover from acts of terrorism.
McAleenan said such grants and partnerships with state and locals are "critical" to the department, adding, "We're looking for shared responsibility, shared investments with communities around the country to maintain their capability, while we still have significant funding dedicated to" those grants.
The exchange was indicative of the issues raised over cutting funding designed to assist with counter-terrorism efforts, when it cut some organizations out of money for "countering violent extremism" grants — a move that took place under then-DHS Secretary John Kelly.
In 2017, the Trump administration rescinded a grant offer to Life After Hate, which the Obama administration told just before leaving office in January would receive $400,000 to expand its outreach and intervention services for former white supremacists and others in the "criminal underground."
The Trump administration eventually doled out the countering violent extremism grants to its own list of organizations, which increased money given to local law enforcement agencies.
The future of the grant program is unclear. The fiscal year 2020 budget proposal for Homeland Security did not include funding for the grants, though it did include terrorism prevention, the retooled term for countering violent extremism.
The results of countering violent extremism programs have been difficult to measure and have also been criticized by advocates as unfair targeting of minority communities.
Earlier this year, McAleenan announced the establishment of a new office, aimed at preventing terrorism and "acts of targeted violence such as racially motivated violence."
The new office, which rebranded and reorganized existing DHS programs, was created to "ensure that all forms of violence, regardless of the ideological motivation, are being addressed," according to a DHS press release at the time.

Thank you g-man for suggesting and DRT for doing so promptly. Let's see whether it works.
• Please don't follow any of their links, which might be laden with malware.
One spammer, though not the kitchen variety, just registered, and was still viewing the site as I deleted. Zap!
Although Google will do their very best not to tell us exactly how it works, the latest algorithm (aka Penguin 2.0) is believed to take a dim view of websites that seed lots of spam links to themselves from content locations that bear little relation. So, for example, a website promoting the virtues of port drinking will not be considered by Google to be relevant to buying cheap kitchens. If that proves to be the case, we might see a reduction in such behaviour.
I do of course accept many of us decant in the kitchen, but I think that degree of connection will probably be discounted by the penguins!

One more quote and we'll start getting hits from Monty Python fans!
indeed the ktichen dude went buck wild!
I think that the goblins promoting a certain class of domestic improvements are doing one link per town. Perhaps, when every large town in the UK has been promoted, they'll be done.
But how large is "large"? To take an example from DRT's county, is Ault Hucknall large?
Bolsover is the district town, I notice. Bolsover has an interesting number of pubs in its main square, from memory. I am sure we will have a post from Bolsover soon.
Perhaps the temporary ban on the offending word will dissuade them.
They won't know if until after posting. And I very much doubt, if they realise, that they'll delete the post and the account.
Nothing else has worked. Nothing to lose in trying.
Interestingly, the spam post that I just deleted was able to bypass the (now deleted) word censoring setting, suggesting it is automated spam rather than a human.
The most recent deletion was "In Burgesshill". Oh dear: Burgess Hill is small, pop. 28k.

Less than one a week. Maybe one a month.

That used to happen. I would get dozens of emails every day needing processing. Sometimes real people wouldn't be approved for weeks, by which time they'd lost interest.
Separately, I know that new boy Zj0IZredf7 looks dodgy. But a different dodgy to the recent crew, so I'm waiting to see what (s)he does. Then, Zap!
A small tweak to the "something else" seems to be working on the cooking place fitters.
I'm a newbie and thankful I didn't have to wait for approval. Also, hello everyone!
Do you mind if we move your post to a more appropriate place?

Unusual to have a 22 hour gap between registration and posting spam.
Just waded through two years of people with only one post. One had subsequently changed his signature, been flagged by Daniel, and then not noticed. One had edited his post to add links sneaky! Both people deleted, and posts retained by edited.
That's fine, Derek, just wanted to chime in that I likely would have been one of those people to forget about signing up with a big wait. Thanks!

Study finds Medicaid expansion improves cancer survival outcomes for young adults
A large first-of-its-kind study finds that expanded Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act leads to better survival outcomes for young adults newly diagnosed with cancer.
A large first-of-its-kind study reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology finds that expanded Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) leads to better survival outcomes for young adults aged 18-39 newly diagnosed with cancer, particularly those identified as of Hispanic ethnicity or non-Hispanic Black race. Additionally, young adults with breast cancer and stage IV cancers had pronounced improvements attributable to ACA-expanded Medicaid.
Led by researchers at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University and the American Cancer Society, the study found in a nationwide sample of 345,413 young adults—particularly people of color—who were newly diagnosed with cancer, Medicaid expansion under the ACA was associated with a significant increase in two-year survival.
Cancer is a leading cause of death in young adults diagnosed between ages 18-39 years—and it is increasing. Approximately 83,700 young adults were newly diagnosed in 2020. Historically, young adults have not experienced the same survival improvements over time as the pediatric and older populations. They also have had worse prognoses than younger or older cohorts for some cancers.
A major contributor to these worse survival outcomes is the lack of health insurance coverage, which is not uncommon in the young adult age group. As of November 2022, 11 states, including Georgia, have not adopted Medicaid expansion under the ACA, and one state (South Dakota) has adopted but not yet implemented the expansion.
"Using nationwide cancer registry data, our study shows a survival benefit of Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act for young adult patients with cancer, particularly among racial and ethnic minority groups and patients at risk for poor prognosis," says lead author Xu Ji, PhD, MSPH, a researcher at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, an assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Emory University School of Medicine, and a member of the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Earlier research of the study team has shown that ACA Medicaid expansion is associated with improved insurance coverage and shifts to early diagnoses in young adults with cancer.
"The current study adds to accumulating evidence of the multiple health benefits of Medicaid expansion, reinforcing the importance of expanding Medicaid in all states," says senior author Xuesong Han, PhD, scientific director of health services research at the American Cancer Society, a researcher at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, and an adjunct professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the Emory University Rollins School of Public Health.
By increasing insurance coverage for low-income young adults, the ACA Medicaid expansion has the potential to improve access to medical care and, ultimately, health outcomes. Yet there has been a dearth of information about young adults' experience with cancer because they are not included in age-based screening guidelines for most cancers with screening services available. Likewise, there has been a lack of empirical evidence on the actual impact of the ACA expansion on this young patient population—until the present study.
This study's findings highlight the promising role of expanding insurance coverage and increasing access to early detection, quality cancer treatment, and follow-up care as a means to improve survival and reduce disparities in health outcomes among young adults with cancer.
"The impact of these data is enormous for young adults who often come to diagnosis late due to the lack of cancer screening guidelines in their age group," says Sharon Castellino, MD, MSc, a researcher at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, director of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Program at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and a professor of pediatrics at the Emory University School of Medicine. "Access to medical care for early detection and cancer treatment is afforded by Medicaid expansion programs and is critical to our advancement of care in this young population who often fall between the gaps in our health care system."
The study was supported by grants R03CA259665 and R03CA267456 from the National Cancer Institute.

Scope Nights 2.4 is a free update with iOS10 support, new features, performance improvements and bug fixes. I have taken on board your feedback and also removed the upgrades. All features are now accessible with the initial purchase of the app.
In-App Purchases (IAP) did not work in the short lived Scope Nights 2.3 update and the issue did not show up during sandbox testing so I decided to remove IAP's altogether, especially as App Store reviews suggested many people were unhappy with the upgrades in the app, so the pricing is now upfront. The new app price reflects all of the features available and the fact that Scope Night's astronomy forecasts are not time limited unlike apps that use subscriptions for data services.
If you have upgraded to 2.4 and run into issues then first try deleting the app from your device before downloading 2.4 again from the App Store. Obviously the downside of this is that you will need to add your Scope Sites and Settings again, but if a fresh install doesn't fix any issues then please contact me and I'll look into issuing a new update with fixes if needed.
Note: If you use an older device that does not support iOS10, Scope Nights 2.2 is still available to download on the App Store. The upgrades in 2.2 are now all free but you will need to actually activate the upgrades to access those features.
NEW – More stargazing forecasts… You can now save & compare up to 10 sites. I've improved the speed and performance of the data downloads which means the app can download more forecasts without taking too long. Obviously this is dependent on your network connection speed too. I've had to keep the limit to 10 forecasts due to data download restrictions enforced by weather data services.
NEW – App Badge showing the number of sites with good stargazing for the upcoming night. Scope Nights now uses background fetching of weather forecast data giving more accurate and up to date stargazing notifications. You can turn off Scope Nights Notifications in iOS Settings if need be. I'm hoping to allow configuration of notifications within the app in a future update.
NEW – Improved sharing. You can now share your Scope Nights forecasts via Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Mail, Messages & Notes. Or save, copy & print stargazing forecasts to share anywhere.

Q: How to prevent optimization of busy-wait I need to have a function busy-wait.
for(long int j=0; j<50000000; ++j)
  ;

When I compile in release mode, this gets optimized out. Other than compiling in debug mode, is there some way to cause this to not get optimized out? I don't particularly care about the actual number of the loop, but it must be a noticeable busy-delay.

A: I don't know why you need to keep the CPU busy, but let's assume that you really have a good reason, like making sure you keep the CPU busy so it doesn't think about that breakup it went through last week and get all depressed but I digress...
The problem you are seeing is that the compiler performs "dead code elimination": it sees that the loop does nothing (i.e. has no side-effects) and so cuts it out. So you could make it have a side-effect.
A simple solution would be this function:
void busywait(long iterations)
{
    for(volatile long i = 0; i != iterations; i++)
        ;
}

By marking i as volatile you are ensuring that the loop has side-effects, since stores to volatile objects (i.e. the incrementing we perform) are treated as having side-effects.

Brian Morgan is director of logistics at Leviton, a manufacturer of electrical wiring devices, network and data center connectivity solutions, and energy management systems, based in Melville, N.Y. He joined the company in 2012.
Responsibilities: Managing the transportation network and introducing technologies to improve transportation operations.
Experience: Intern, Corvette workplace development team, General Motors; manufacturing development engineer, HP; procurement manager, HP/Agilent; director of supply chain operations, Network Photonics; senior project manager, operations optimization group, United Technologies Research Center; global logistics manager, Pratt & Whitney; director, logistics and distribution operations, Cooper Lighting.
Education: Purdue University, BS, industrial engineering, 1996; University of New Haven, MBA, 2005.
While working on my bachelor's degree in industrial engineering, I interned with a team at General Motors that was developing a new platform for the Corvette. As a car lover, I sometimes joke that this was the high point of my career. But I'm actually very happy with the road I've taken since then.
Moving from engineering to business management was a scary career decision. Engineers are high-level individual contributors; they control their own fate. As a manager, however, my success depends on developing strong leadership skills and accomplishing goals through my team.
Now that I've made the transition, I find management suits me. I use my technical expertise to introduce new methods for solving business problems and promoting change. I'm not afraid of disruptive technologies, because I know how to apply quantitative methods to complex systems to improve performance.
